Māori ward call: ODC says yes

By Roy Pilott

Ōtorohanga has stolen a march on fellow Waikato councils and voted to create a Māori ward for its 2022 elections.

In doing so it opted against the consultation process favoured by sister councils.

The decision, a majorty vote on Tuesday, was applauded by Mayor Max Baxter.

“I am incredibly proud of our councillors... the addition of a Māori Ward can only enhance our decision making and add value.

We have listened to iwi in our district, and working together is fundamental to the future of Ōtorohanga,” he said.

murray hunt

The district’s Māori population sat at 30 per cent in 2018 – Waipā’s is 15.

The decision came as Waipā council staff began to process hundreds of responses to its public consultation process as it considers a Māori ward.

To introduce Māori wards, councils have until late May to make a decision.

To date, more Waipā councillors have indicated support for a Māori ward than oppositon to it.

Meanwhile, both Hamilton City and Waikato District councils are reviewing earlier decisions not to introduce Māori wards – in Hamilton’s case, a decision made just three weeks ago.

Librarian Matt Morris with a scavenger card.

New home for weta

A dozen Mahoenui giant wētā have been moved to the Ōtorohanga Kiwi House as part of a project to increase their numbers.

The Mahoenui is one of the world’s largest insects, measuring up to 7cm and weighing approximately 15gms. It is found in only four place in the North Island.

The Department of Conservation (DOC), Mōkau ki Runga Regional Management Committee, and the Ōtorohanga Kiwi House have been working together on a plan to protect the species.

DOC Senior Ranger Biodiversity Jon Sadler says last week’s move from Mahoenui Scientific Reserve near Te Kuiti required careful logistical planning.

“The wētā live in gorse, so we had a team in the reserve searching the prickly plants for good healthy adult specimens,” Jon Sadler says.

Waipā District Libraries are running a Waipāthemed scavenger hunt to encourage families to explore the district.

Participants can collect up to eight cards which will take them to sites across Waipā to complete a set of challenges at each location.

Every completed card returned to one of the Libraries or the Te Awamutu Museum will earn the participant an entry into a prize draw for one of three family passes to Hamilton Zoo. For some additional entries into the prize draw, included on the back of each card is a bingo sheet of spots around Waipā. A visit to any spot is a strike off the bingo card.

Scavenger hunt cards are available at either library in Cambridge or Te Awamutu or either the Cambridge or Te Awamutu Museum.

The competition runs to April 30.

Ōtorohanga Kiwi House Manager Jo Russell said a purpose-built captive rearing facility for Mahoenui giant wētā has been constructed for them.

“The wētā will be in a laboratory-style setting, and our plan for the future is to implement modern technology to give the public a glimpse of these amazing creatures as part of a back of house tour,” Jo Russell says.

Māori ward call: ODC says yes Continued from page 1

Waikato District could follow Ōtorohanga’s lead.

Its councillors will review a report on Māori wards on May 20. If they back a Māori ward, then the decision will be final as there won’t be time for a consultation process.

Hamilton overturned an earlier “no” decision and has given residents three weeks to provide feedback on Māori wards as well as on other ways of achieving Māori representation on Council.

If Māori wards are confirmed Hamilton could opt for up to two. The number of wards is based on population.

Māori seats will not be additions – they will come at the expense of existing council seats.

Mayor Paula Southgate believed her council had made the right call.

“Over the next few weeks, we’ll need to have some courageous conversations as a city. We should not shy away from that. We are providing people with a way to respectfully share their views, and I hope all people do that with open hearts and open minds.”

Lest we forget. Those words are solemnly uttered at cenotaphs in communities all over New Zealand every April 25.

Last year we were robbed of this due to the constraints of Covid-19 which meant a large number of us remembered at our respective gates just before dawn. There was a small sense of community as I looked down my road that morning and saw most of those on my street standing to remember.

My own children joined me. It was their first dawn service.

This year, I would like to remind people that those words Lest We Forget aren’t just words. This year more than ever we need to ensure that we as a community live up to those words. Each year the volunteers sell poppies to raise funds for the Returned Services Association. Last year they were robbed of that opportunity. The Returned Services Association helps service men and

The RSA also supports these veterans with mental health service which is a hugely important role. The predominance of mental health injuries over traditional physical wounds mirrors the experience overseas military organisations.

This is largely due to the complex nature of more contemporary conflict and peace keeping duties. These initiatives are fantastic but they are costly. This year I remind you all that the final line of the ode to the fallen is “We Will Remember Them”. I ask that this year we as a community live up to those words.

Concerts returns

The Te Awamutu Music Federation is back in action, with its first 2021 concert coming to town next Thursday. The concert features the ACE Brass, the Auckland Chamber Ensemble Brass. Next week’s programme will include shorter pieces aimed at demonstration the group’s versatility. The concert is at the Methodist Church at 261 Bank St, from 7.30pm and entry is $20 at the door.

Full house

Having been described as “the worst of both worlds” and mocked by some media last week, Waikato Regional Council’s new Te Huia train service between Auckland and Hamilton attracted so many customers last weekend some missed out and others found it was standing room only.

Barriers removed

A partnership between Wintec and Toi Ohomai will enable massage therapists to upskill in the Waikato and Bay of Plenty regions. Wintec Centre for Sport Science and Human Performance Director, Greg Smith, says the collaboration was developed to remove the barriers to higher study for learners who typically gain employment or go into business after achieving their Level 5 Diploma in Massage qualification, making it difficult to continue their study.

Up in the air

A quarantine-free bubble with Australia has been called “good news” for Waikato. Air New Zealand Chief Customer and Sales Officer Leanne Geraghty says the re-opening of a transTasman bubble will be a welcome boost for Waikato.

In 2019, Air New Zealand flew around 4400 passengers from Australia who booked directly through to Hamilton, and Australians spent an estimated $162 million in the province.

Lake to Pirongia cycleway planned

A proposed cycleway from Lake Ngaroto to Pirongia could showcase some of Waipā’s most important natural and historical attractions.

The cycling connection is highlighted in Waipā District Council’s draft Long-Term Plan as the second stage of a bigger 21.4km cycling route. Work on stage one of the route, from Te Awamutu to Lake Ngaroto has started.

The council is working to secure agreements with landowners.

Three potential routes for the

second stage are identified in the draft Long-Term Plan, now open for public comment. Council’s preferred route has more path off-road than the other two options. It would see cyclists riding 13.1 kilometres from Lake Ngaroto, along Sing Road, Paterangi Road, Mackay Access Road, Waiare Road, Bird Road and across the Mangapiko Stream into Pirongia.

Cyclists would have views of Mt Pirongia and the Waiari Pa and pass the military memorial on Bird

Road. The cycleway would connect to Pirongia close to the entrance of Matakitaki Pa. Group manager, service delivery Dawn Inglis said the proposed route ticks a number of criteria, including the opportunity for Waipā to show cultural and heritage sites. It would help connect two key Waipā communities and provide health and social wellbeing benefits Waipā people say are important.

If the route goes ahead, most of it would be on a purpose-built cycle

path on publicly owned road reserve.

However, just under 4km of the proposed route would cross private property.

“We would have to negotiate access to that privately-owned land, and we have only had very preliminary discussions with a couple of landowners. So there is a lot of work to do in the space but we’re hopeful of being able to reach solutions that work for everyone,” Inglis said.

Submission time almost up – see Page 5.

Riding for our RSA clubs

By Viv Posselt

The roar of over 100 motorcycles carrying more than 180 riders and pillion passengers was heard through the region last weekend as the Waikato chapter of the Tribal Nations Motorcycle Club took to the streets to raise funds for Returned and Services’ Association (RSA) clubs.

The R.O.R. (Ride of Respect NZ) event is one of two annual rides done by Tribal Nations in New Zealand. The other is the R.A.T.S. event (Riders Against Teen Suicide), which will take place again later this year.

Club secretary, Cambridge-based Rod Irvine, said the R.O.R. was based on an international initiative and started in New Zealand in 2016. “It started in England as a ride of respect for fallen soldiers and has been taken over as an annual event by various motorcycle clubs around New Zealand.”

Tribal Nations MC is a riding and social motorcycle group, headquartered in Ngaruawahia but with nationwide membership. It takes its name from the first nations people, intended to indicate clan, tribe, band, nation, group or community, and has a strong focus on helping spread awareness about suicide, violence and abuse.

Last Saturday’s event included riders from around the country. It started in Ngaruawahia, stopped in Te Awamutu for lunch, proceeded through Cambridge and Morrinsville, visiting RSAs in each town.

Rod, who joined the club in 2016, said funds raised through the event would be distributed among local RSAs.

Council eyes “change in direction”

By Blair Voorend

Aspirational is the buzz word for Ōtorohanga District Council’s Long Term Plan (LTP) 2021 – 2031 as the council presents its community driven plan.

For the past 18 months both elected members and staff have been working to create a plan for the district that sees it move from a state of austerity to a state of vibrancy.

A community engagement programme was undertaken in 2020, and the feedback from this has been used to inform the LTP development.

From the community engagement and subsequent workshops, staff have developed a draft LTP and Consultation Document.

Chief executive Tanya Winter said that it makes this plan one that really reflects what the community

is looking for and what they want to improve in the district.

“We are looking at a change in direction from previous Long Term Plans,” Mayor Max Baxter said.

“We are well placed financially, we have relatively low debt and low rates. However, our infrastructure is aging and our main streets are looking tired – it’s time to invest in our district, for the benefit

of our current and future generations.”

Big ticket items for consultation include an urban centres upgrade plan, an accelerated waters programme and a food waste collection service.

“It’s about setting us up for the future, being prepared for growth and creating a dynamic, inclusive and unique district,” Baxter said.

“Our vision for the district

is to be a place where kiwi can fly. This means a place that is liveable, a place that is progressive, a place that empowers its residents to be the best they can be.”

The LTP outlines an average rates increase for the district of 7.93% for the first year and 5.13% across the 10 years (including water rates by meter rates).

Formal consultation begins on tomorrow and will run through to 24 May.

Submission time almost up Residents have less than a week to make a submission on Waipā District Council’s Long Term Plan.

Waipā District Council mayor Jim Mylchreest is encouraging residents who haven’t yet provided feedback on the draft 2021-31 Long Term Plan topics to head online or pick up a form from a Library or Council office to have their say.

Submissions close at 5pm next Tuesday.

Submission forms are available online at www.whatsnextwaipa.nz, and can be collected from a Council office or Library in Te Awamutu and Cambridge.

“Your feedback helps decide what we focus on over the next ten years so it’s important to have your say,” Jim Mylchreest said.

Council’s strategy manager Kirsty Downey said there was a significant number of partially completed forms on the website without a name and email associated to them.

Those details are required for a submission to be considered.

“I would encourage all those who have added their feedback on a topic of interest to head back online and add in their name and email address so we can take this feedback into consideration,” said Downey.

The What’s Next, Waipā website is designed to hold feedback for 40 days before clearing the information.

Submission forms for the Waipā 20212031 Long Term Plan can be dropped off at Council offices at 23 Wilson Street, Cambridge and 101 Bank Street, Te Awamutu or a Waipā District Library.

Forms can also be dropped into the submission boxes at LTP pop-up events throughout April.

Magills: a cut above

First time entrants Magills Butchery was among the major winners at the Waipa Network Business Awards night last Friday.

RSA remembers Praying for our climate

THE AGE OF REASON

The Te Awamutu RSA held the March of Remembrance last Saturday, with Afghanistan veterans marching 10km carrying 30kg packs.

The march started at the land wars site of Ōrākau and finished at Memorial Park’s Sunken Cross.

“It was good for us to get out amongst the community representing the RSA and doing it for a good cause.” organiser James Baldwin said Te Awamutu motorcycle outlet Wilks Penny Motorcycles also collected donations for poppies for the Te Awamutu Poppy Appeal.

The walk was followed the next day with the placement of memorial crosses and RSA cemetery crosses on Anzac Green.

Poppies were also laid on the graves. A service was held at Pukeatua Church with Patriots Motorcycle Club members, Community Cadets and RSA members attending.

Dawn and civic parades will be held in Te Awamutu on Sunday, Anzac Day.

A few weeks ago, thousands of young people around Aotearoa skipped a day of school and gathered in protest of our government’s lack of climate action. It was the second School Strike 4 Climate.

It’s easy to assume that movements like this will lose momentum, and while numbers were inevitably down from 2019’s pre-covid strike, the turnout still spoke a thousand words.

A small pocket of the thousands of participants in Wellington’s strike included a group of passionate Anglicans. I rolled up alongside these friends, who do consistent, voluntary mahi to push for climate action. We

had a karakia for the Climate the night before, and gathered for breakfast before walking to the strike together.

I’m always inspired by this rōpū (group), who’s prioritisation of positive climate action is fuelled by their faith. Care for creation is one of the five marks of mission (the Anglican framework for ways to outwork faith), where we are encouraged to strive to safeguard our whenua and sustain new life. Amongst the millions of people around the globe already taking action in this space, I reckon that if all Jesusfollowers took this to heart, we could make a pretty big impact.

But this is for everyone who wants

to help: tautoko (support) your young people when they want to do something about this and be there for them in their grief and anxiety about what the future of this planet holds.

Climate change-related worry is visceral for many young people, and they need to be listened to well. And last but not least, please compost and recycle with care.

The sad though not unexpected demise of Prince Philip reminds me that none of us are invincible. But that the very being of people living well into their 90’s is now an acknowledged fact of life. From the days when obituaries in newspapers often described people in their mid to late 60’s we now have a population - certainly in Western countries - where octogenarians are commonplace and people in their tenth decade are no longer a rare breed. And long may this continue.

This is brought home to me on my frequent visits to retirement villages where generally happy people are enjoying the culture of activity, group gatherings, visits ‘outside’ and helping to enhance the lifestyle of their fellow villagers.

And here in Cambridge we will shortly have a sixth such village which will effectively mean that retirement groups are rising in the town to be a force to be reckoned with. Let me make it clear that these villages are not connected with what are regarded as rest homes, where a different continuum of care abounds.

People over the age of 65, clutching their Gold Cards, generally choose to embrace the village lifestyle for several reasons. In the main, they are tired of spending much of their recreational time enhancing their owned house to ensure another increase in value and hopefully sale price. In my case having spent a week painting the soffits above my head at our most recent property – I decided I had spent enough time in my life on senseless pursuits as soffits, roofs, lawns, driveways, windows, veggie gardens and flower beds. Wouldn’t it be a wonderful thought if all that went away, I thought.

And so it did ten years ago, when we

signed up to a new village and moved just 400 metres from our large home to something more manageable. None of the above-mentioned activities to break into the new lifestyle awaited us. It is interesting, moving into a new neighbourhood where everyone is in a similar age group. Most have come together to reside alongside people they would not normally meet. To help to create the culture of enjoyment are sports, dancing, singing and a myriad other enjoyable activities.

But to make it clear, retirement village living is not for everyone. It is not all beer and skittles and for those of a more reclusive nature it should be approached with caution.

Choosing a village is a major task needing careful forethought, discussion with one’s family and an awareness that future housing will not be increasing the wealth of the individual.

Most villages are very well operated – and the greater majority are particularly good financial enterprises for the owners. Look at the share market. However, it is vitally important that when considering village life, that every option is studied with care, the fine print in the contract is not just a matter for your lawyer but needs to be understood.

The management of these villages varies tremendously so it is important that current residents are approached to seek their views on how they are treated. Like in any industry there is a mix of management styles which needs assessment prior to that somewhat final decision.

In this important decision the words caveat emptor (buyer beware) are vital.

District’s growth helps cap rates

Waipā District Council ratepayers may be facing lower proposed rate increases than others around the country and staff say that is partly because of growth.

Council is consulting on its draft Long-Term Plan which proposes an average annual rates increase across the district of 1.8 per cent over 10 years. There would be a maximum average increase of 4.2 per cent in the first two years.

Chief financial officer

Ken Morris said the amount collected in rates over the next decade would be supplemented by revenue from fees and charges, subsidies and development contributions paid by property developers.

Proposed Waipā rates rises were low in comparison to some other places partly because of district growth, he said.

“On a percentage basis, Waipā has higher growth than many other parts of

the country. That keeps our rates lower because there are more ratepayers to help pay for the services we provide.

And the additional capital value of many new houses for example, spreads the costs over a wider base,” Morris said.

“If so many people weren’t moving here, our rates would need to be higher to pay for the same level of service.”

He said Waipā had managed its finances

prudently, and that was also contributing to the lower proposed average rates increase.

“Waipā has very good credit control processes and our rates arrears compared to some other councils is very low. That helps. In terms of cashflow, we are prudent when it comes to borrowing, only borrowing when we have to. Otherwise we use cash reserves so the benefit goes back immediately to ratepayers.”

Silver screen, silver lining

The council is borrowing to pay for a huge capital expenditure programme.

Waipā has had lower debt than many other councils for years. It is forecast to peak in 2027/28 at $304 million.

“We need to borrow to pay for a huge capital expenditure programme.

Borrowing to pay for that work, rather that rating people to pay for it, is the fairest way. It means we spread the costs over many years, rather than just piling them all on to those ratepayers who happen to live in the district right now,” Morris said.

“But despite debt going up, we have plenty of headroom; in fact Council could borrow a further $108 million in the peak year if necessary before we reach our debt limit. And of

course now is a very good time to borrow because interest rates are so low.”

Morris believes Council has done “a pretty good job” delivering a huge range of services and with ony “modest” rates increases proposed.

“Council has maintained the district’s infrastructure well and invested where necessary but we are able to, and can, provide some very good community services to our community. Waipā faces many of the same challenges as other councils but we have been able to manage those well. Overall, while no-one welcomes increases rates, I think an average of 1.8 per cent over 10 years is pretty good.”

Livestock shipment ban raises questions

By Blair Voorend

After the Government announced last week livestock export by sea will be banned many in the industry were left wondering what is in store for them.

Progressive Livestock agent Colin Old, who covers WesternCentral Waikato and Te Awamutu West regions, said the ban

“We pride ourselves on making old age worth living”

will have many in the industry worried as the trade has kept “many a farmer a float” during difficult periods.

“In reality China is paying twice what any NZ farmer is willing to pay for the same stock.”

He says the decision will impact on stock agents who will lose a significant amount of income.

“For myself and peers, this will mean a third of our income is lost easily as it also means the traders that buy for export will look at alternatives at a lot less value,” he said.

Agriculture Minister Damien O’Connor launched a review into livestock exports nearly two years ago with options ranging from improving systems to a total ban.

After the review, the decision was made for a total ban from 2023.

Figures from Stats NZ show more than 100,000 breeding cattle were shipped to China last year, to the value of $255.89 million.

The figures for 2021 are expected to be higher - 150,000 cattle valued at $500 million.

Federated Farmers animal welfare spokesperson Wayne Langford said that the ban announcement has come somewhat out of the blue.

“The government has seen fit to bring in this ban, but Federated Farmers has no information about any breaches of the high standards relating to livestock exports,” he said.

Last September’s Gulf Livestock 1 sinking which claimed 40 lives and saw 6000 cattle drown, inflamed debate about live shipments.

Wayne Langford said the disaster had led to further requirements being made such as restricting stocking density on vessels to 90 percent of former limits and an increased feed stock that ensure at least 20 per cent of feed was available for unplanned delays during the voyage.

Pirongia stalwart honoured

By Viv Posselt

Keith Ormsby was surrounded by personal and local history when he was awarded life membership to the Pirongia Heritage and Information Centre (PHIC) earlier this month.

With him were those who shared his childhood experiences, and at his shoulder was an information board chronicling his family’s multi-generational roots in the area.

Home for the PHIC is the historic St Saviour’s Church, originally built in 1901 on Pirongia’s old Alexandra Constabulary Redoubt. The much-travelled building now

stands in the centre of the village and is the heart of the historical information centre.

Keith remembers attending church services as a young lad. “We used to go to Bible classes there as well as to services on Sundays. I loved it … there were always a few girls around,” he smiled.

Falling congregation numbers saw the church sold to Waikeria Village, where it was re-consecrated as the prison chapel in 1959.

After the Corrections Department closed the village, steps were taken to bring the church back to its original home. It was de-consecrated and moved to its current site in August 2000, then with funding from various sponsors and labour from the Corrections Department, was adapted for its present use as a visitor centre and museum, and officially opened in 2003.

Keith Ormsby was one of several involved in the building’s transformation.

PHIC president Marilyn Yeates said that Keith, who was confirmed in the church in 1949, had played a key part in bringing the church home.

“In the year 2000, he was a founding member involved with the re-siting of St Saviour’s Church from Waikeria to its present locality. This involved many hours of voluntary work.

Keith Ormsby, with wife Margaret, holds the life membership plaque to which his name will be added.

Keith has been an executive member of the PHIC and in recent years has been a regular volunteer at the centre.”

Keith was born and raised in the area. He purchased undeveloped bushland just south of Pirongia when he was just 18, working fingerto-the-bone to develop the land into an award-winning and environmentallysustainable dairy farm.

When not working the farm, Keith involved himself in community and civic affairs, following the tradition of the many Ormsbys who had settled the area.

The first had been Robert Ormsby, who arrived in New Zealand from Ireland

in 1844, sailing to Kawhia after his arrival in Auckland.

After becoming lost on Mr Pirongia, Robert was helped by the local Ngati-Maniapoto people, where the chieftain’s sister, Rangihurihia (known as Pianika) nursed him back to health. The two fell in love and were married.

Robert went on to become the first headmaster of the local Alexandra School.

Pirongia was then still called Alexandra; the name-change to Pirongia took place in 1896 to avoid postal confusion with the town of the same name in Central Otago.

Robert and Pianika had 14 children, and many of their descendants still live in the area.

‘Sinking lid’ on pokies

By Blair Voorend

Waipa council says it is effectively operating a sinking lid policy with pokie machines.

The comment comes in the wake of a report from AUT suggests councils are a vital

factor in finding a solution to the problem.

And it also comes as Ōtorohanga debates a call to allow more pokies in the district.

A report released last week by the Auckland University of Technology - Capping Problem Gambling in NZ – said local councils could be effective

Sorted: tonnes of chemical waste Over 986kg of fertiliser bags, approximately one tonne of chemicals and 910kgs of chemical containers were dropped off by Waipā farmers at the rural waste One-Stop Shop event in Cambridge last week.

The free event enabled farmers and growers in Waipā to safely and sustainably dispose of farm waste. A total of 46 people took part.

Agrichemical containers and drums, unwanted agrichemicals, used motor oil, scrap metal, seed, fertiliser and feed bags were all dropped off at the event.

Dairy farmers Craig and Julie Wards went along to the event to drop off empty 20 litre containers, waste oil and expired drench, and said it was great to have the option to do the right thing and recycle.

“The event was fantastic.

It made it very easy to dispose of chemicals and other farm waste that would otherwise be tricky to get rid of in a sustainable and responsible way. We really appreciated the opportunity to do this.”

Containers will be recycled into underground cable covers and fertiliser bags will be turned back into woven polypropylene bags.

Waipā councillor and Te Awamutu dairy farmer Susan O’Regan said most members of the rural community are committed to finding safe and sustainable ways to dispose of on farm waste.

“The One-Stop shop event in Cambridge gave us the chance to work with farmers and growers to help them dispose of their farm waste in one go.

“We were delighted with

the turn out to the event and the amount of waste collected.”

The One-Stop Shop was run by non-profit rural waste stewardship organisation Agrecovery with support from Waipā District Council.

Agrecovery held nine One-Stop Shop events around New Zealand in 2020, collecting over 6795kg of plastic from agrichemical containers and drums, 6594kg of waste oil and 5628kg of chemicals.

The events are an extension of the Rural Waste Minimisation Project, designed to tackle some of the barriers to recycling New Zealand’s rural communities face and raise awareness of recycling options for farmers and growers.

The programme is partfunded by the Ministry for Environment’s Waste Minimisation Fund.

in addressing problem gambling by introducing policies to reduce the number of gaming machines allowed per venue.

By law, local councils must draw up a policy to regulate pokie use.

The report said councils which limit or reduce pokie numbers help reduce problem gambling.

The report cited concerns that because a portion of funds from the machines was poured back into the community in the form of gaming grants, councils’ decisions making on their numbers could be compromised.

Waipa Council’s gambling policy was updated in 2019 and capped the number of pokie machines at 232.

“We retained the same cap as the previous three years, so when you look at population growth figures, in practicality, this is a

TE AWAMUTU NEWS | 9

sinking lid policy,” a council spokesperson said.

The 232 machines in Waipā are in 16 venues – there are 108 in Cambridge and 124 in Te Awamutu.

The report’s author Christopher Erwin said the Gambling Act passed in 2003, empowered councils to limit the number of machines in any establishment and to draw up their own policies.

Erwin said the report looked at “what different policies had been enacted and how effective they had been, both in reducing availability of pokies in the community and also reducing the amount of losses that players have experienced at these pokie machines”.

Waipā next review of its policy will be next year.

Firehawks turn up the heat

By Roy Pilott

League is back on the rise in Waipā.

The Te Awamutu Sports Firehawks will play in the reserve grade of the new season’s Waikato competition under coach Victor Heke, and the club has also established male and female Under-15 and under-9 teams and a senior women’s squad.

The Firehawks’ last senior competitive encounter was in 2019 when they were beaten in the grand final of the reserve grade.

But the club was unable to bounce back during Covid year.

Heke and his wife Tania moved to Te Awamutu from south Auckland 15 months ago – taking the same path their three adult children did to return to Waipā where Heke’s father grew up.

The whanau has embraced the Firehawks and are helping promote a strategic plan to develop the game for men, women and youngsters.

Ultimately, Heke wants to see the Firehawks footing it with the elite of Waikato rugby league – the

likes of Taniwharau and Turangawaewae.

The first step was to be welcomed back into the Waikato fold in a reserve grade competition comprising nine teams – including three, Firehawks, Hukanui and Ngaruawahia Lions, who are not represented in the senior competition.

That competition includes the top teams from Turangawaewae, Taniwharau, Hamilton City Tigers, Ngaruawahia Panthers and College Old Boys.

But while league is returning to Te Awamutu, the teams will be playing out of town.

Senior games will be played in Hamilton, Huntly and Ngaruawahia and the juniors will travel each week to play on the expansive home of junior league in Waikato – Hopuhopu.

To complete the set, the Firehawks also have a women’s team which has found competition in the Bay of Plenty, and again it will mean travel each week.

Heke’s primary aim is to rebuild a culture of loyalty in the club – to have players who are proud to wear the jersey of their home-town club and want to contribute to the club.

“Two percent of players here make it to the NRL, and that’s great – I want to concentrate on the other 98 per cent and keep 80 per cent of them in the game,” Heke, who has two decades of coaching at senior level in Auckland to his name, said.

Part of the strategic

“We have four games before the bye, and my goal is two wins from that, then three wins from the following five games,” he said.

“A top four place would be a highlight and anything after that a bonus.”

Meanwhile, league is likely to return to Te Awamutu’s Albert Park on Anzac Day Monday – there are plans for a couple of age-group fixtures there, and one of those teams, Hamilton City Tigers, could include Te Awamutu based youngsters.

Heke said the Firehawks will train at Albert Park and enjoyed great support from Te Awamutu Sports.

who trains Two Illicit at Cambridge along with Robert Wellwood.

“I knew that she was very much not fully fit and it was really to be treated like a trial, especially since she had 61.5kg on her back and hadn’t trialled. She appeared back to her best in every respect so I was very happy with her.”

James said he would be talking with Two Illicit’s owners, headed by Brent and Cherry Taylor of Trelawney Stud, this week to decide on potential targets.

“It’s an awkward time to be heading for a good race, but the fact we’ve got her back niggle-free is the main thing,” James said.

Third is fine for James

Roger James couldn’t have been happier with the return to racing of high-quality mare Two Illicit at Te Rapa last Saturday.

The issue now is to see if there are any autumn targets for her to chase.

One of the best threeyear-olds last season, Two Illicit won on her return to racing as a four-year-old before finishing just behind the placings in both the Gr.1 Windsor Park Plate (1600m) and the Gr.1 Livamol Classic (2000m).

Injury kept her off the track throughout summer, and her effort to dead-heat for third in the Waikato Draught 1400 at Te Rapa was her first since the Livamol.

“I wanted to run her Saturday because if I didn’t get started, any autumn target was off the radar timing-wise,” said James,

planning for the club will include developing pathways for young players to progress through what at present is a muddied pathway higher level league.

A whanau day for the new senior men’s team – featuring just seven from the 2019 squad – drew 28 players.

Heke will be able to name just 17 each week in his match day squad – meaning players will miss out.

“It’s not easy – but it is possible if you create a strong culture and loyalty,” he said.

Heke will look to build his team around the Howell brothers – Isaac and Tāwhiritengakau – son Richard and son-in-law Ronnie Adams. He also has the services of another son, Himeona.

Dorta Adams, Ronnie’s wife and Heke’s daughter, led the Upper Central Stallions to the national women’s title last season and will lead the women’s team.

Heke is pitching for a top four spot for his new charges in their first season.

Ōtorohanga climbs table

Sports, Marist celebrate

A 2-1 win at Otumoetai has pushed Ōtorohanga up to fourth equal in the WaiBop premier men’s football league ahead of a home match against winless Claudelands Rovers.

Unicol and Taupo have opened a two point lead on the field after four games, while Claudelands and Tauranga City are anchored at the foot of the table following four successive losses.

In the first division where Tokoroa beat Cambridge on Saturday to go clear at the top of the table, Te Awamutu was beaten 4-3 at home

by Te Puke. The Reds travel this weekend to play Unicol’s reserves who have an identical one win three loss record.

Goals have not been a scarcity this season – there have been 18 in Te Awamutu’s last three matches.

On the back of opening day defeats – one of them a trouncing – Te Awamutu’s senior men’s rugby clubs enjoyed a successul Saturday last weekend.

Second division Marist had lost 74-0 to Hamilton Old Boys on opening day. The club bounced back wth a 60-0 win over Hinuera.

It was “definitely a big turnaround” for coach Grant James – but he also suggested the previous week’s opposition were in the wrong league – “they would win division 1”.

In the top division Te Awamutu Sports scored its first win at home, coming from behind to beat Matamata 25-7 on a day which saw champions Hautapu beaten 20-10 at Fraser Tech and Ōtorohanga pip Morrinsville 31-17.

Melville and Tech lead the competition with two wins and a bonus point each.

Sports and Ōtorohanga lead the Premier B competition after clocking up successive wins on a day which also saw Hautapu’s reserves lose.

Sports this week announced the addition of Jackson Willison and Jotham Wrampling to the coaching team.

In Division 1 Leamington’s sponsors and old timers saw their side thump Ōhaupō 70-3 while Pirongia lost 22-5 at home to Taupiri.

Leamington won the corresponding reserves fixture 50-0 to lead the table, while Pirongia fell 36-22 to Taupiri.

Not surpringly, Old Boys leads the second division after a 20-3 win over Marist. Kereone is the only other team with two wins from two, having won by default on opening day.

Kihikihi found the going tough in Raglan last weekend, losing 54-7 on the back of a 28-5 opening day loss to Matangi-Hillcrest.

In the high scoring secnd division encounter Marist made the most of set pieces to set a young back line alight. Troy James at first five controlled the half nicely with good kicks into the corner from where Marist scored three first half trys. The second half saw several long range tries as Jacob Ashby dotted down twice and Cam Collins thrice.

In the women’s premiership Kihikihi was beaten 65-nil by league leaders Old Boys – but that wasn’t the highest scoring game of the day. Melville beat Taupiri 111-nil.
