And the Oscar goes to…

The award winning Te Awamutu plant has been honoured again at Fonterra’s Best Site Cup Awards.

The plant, which supplies 10 per cent of butter in the Greater China region was awarded the Greater China CEO Special Quality Cup. The Best Site Cup awards are Fonterra’s “Oscars of Manufacturing”.

Fonterra’s manufacturing team is 7000 strong and the Best Site Cup awards recognise successes in delivering

top quality dairy products to the world.

At the awards the Cooperative’s butter plant in Te Awamutu was recognised by the Fonterra CEO of Greater China, Teh-Han Chow, for supplying at least 10% of Greater China’s volume for a particular Product Group - with a zero defect rate. The cup was created this year to celebrate

Fonterra’s growth in that market.

Fonterra has seen significant growth from their China business over the last 20 years.

“I am immensely proud of the team’s achievement and the recognition from the CEO of Greater China, TehHan Chow,” said Fonterra Te Awamutu Operations Manager, Marc Carney.

“Almost one in three tankers of product is now heading into the China and we recognise the significance quality has on confidence in marketplace. Over 18,000 thousand tonnes of butter defect free requires all the processing and support teams to be on their toes,” he said.

The award “further cements my confidence in our team’s quality focus”, he said.

Te Awamutu’s site employs more than 290 people and produces milk powders, buttermilk powder, butter and anhydrous milk fat.

It made headlines last September by transitioning away from coal to be powered solely on wood pellets.

During peak season, the site processes three million litres of raw milk, more than one million litres of cream, and 750,000 litres of buttermilk each day.

Readers’ contributions of articles and letters are welcome. Publication of contributions are entirely at the discretion of editorial staff and may be edited. Contributions will only be considered for publication when accompanied by the author’s full name, residential address, and telephone number. Opinions expressed are not necessarily those of the publishers.

The Te Awamutu News is published by Good Local Media Limited.

Covid19 In response to Barbara Linton’s letter relating to Covid debate (July 1) simple fact checking shows that her statements relating to Covid19 vaccination are false.

Her claim of ‘total effectiveness of Ivermectin for Covid’ is not supported by the facts. Ivermectin was developed by MSD and is used to treat or prevent parasites in animals. There are many reports that patients who have followed this false advice have been hospitalised after self-medicating with Ivermectin.

Medical authorities say there is no evidence that it is effective for Covid and should only be administered to humans in authorised trials.

Note that MSD do not recommend its use in humans.

None of the four British Airways pilots who died suffered from blood clots. One died from injuries sustained in a crash off his mountain bike. Another died from Covid19, contracted while on a visit to the US. Maybe he would still be alive if he had received a Covid vaccination before his visit.

David Griffiths, Cambridge Just irresponsible I have read a lot of letters in this paper that have caused me to roll my eyes and snort, (e.g., the recent hyperbolic claim that a rebate on low emission vehicles is akin to communism) but I think Cambridge News acted irresponsibly when it printed Barbara Linton’s antivaccination letter (July 1). It’s one thing to print opinions, no matter how ridiculous they may be, but this letter was presented as a series of facts, albeit with no credible sources.

Unfortunately, some people will be alarmed and inclined to believe B. Linton’s dubious claims and may be put off from having a Covid vaccine, thereby putting themselves and others at risk and prolonging the effects of this pandemic. B. Linton’s claim that the vaccines are in breach of the Nuremberg Code is false, because the vaccines are well tested and therefore not experimental and are also only given with consent. A quick google will

reassure people that the four British pilots that B. Linton claims died from the effects of the vaccine, in fact died from a variety of causes, including one who died from the effects of Covid-19. None of them died as a result of the vaccination. I don’t think any newspaper should be a vehicle for dangerous conspiracy theories that will harm public health, and the damage has now been done.

Sam Brydon, Maungatautari Fake news Regarding Barbara Linton’s letter last week.

It was a vulnerable week for some of us ‘seniors’ - many getting our first and second Covid jabs - so her remarks about four pilot deaths hit a raw spot. A quick google check showed it was indeed a false story.

The lovely nurse (Faye) who did my injection spent quite a little time with each of us (as did the other two Nurses) and one question asked was “so you didn’t succumb to all the ‘fake news’?”

I actually confessed to her that I almost had - but being the bearer of a TB scar and various injections (Polio etc) got at school in our youth, and tetanus since, one can see the logic of the current regime.

She also pointed out that ‘all the scientists around the world’ worked together to develop the vaccine which culminated in the quick production with the technology available in the 21st Century. Makes complete sense, doesn’t it?

What a shame we cannot ‘all work together’ to achieve ‘World Peace’ eh?

Lynda Yelland, Cambridge It’s misinformation In the small print under Contacts, it is stated that publication of contributions are [sic] entirely at the discretion of editorial staff.

However, it appears that no discretion was used in publishing the letter from Barbara Linton.

This letter reports misinformation as fact and is potentially dangerous in the statements made. Even Facebook removes such

misinformation from its pages.

I find it very disturbing that this letter was published in the Cambridge News.

Fiona Rhodes, Hamilton Editorial director Roy Pilott responds: Yes, I should have edited out statements presented as fact when they were not. We erred on this occasion and letter writers have correctly held us accountable.

More climate views Thank you, Celine Kearney and Andrew Hammond (letters July 1), for your comments.

The climate changes, it has done so for millions of years and will do so for another. I have spent a lot of time researching climate changed and the supposed causes but have yet to find any evidence related to man-made CO2. The Govt has done a good con job of convincing New Zealanders our emissions have caused the climate to change.

Atmospheric CO2 is 410ppm and two per cent of that is the agreed contribution due to man’s global CO2 emissions. Remember, CO2 is the lifeblood of all plants and animals and quite simply, without it, we die as there wouldn’t be enough food to go around.

The late Professor Chris De Freitas once said: “The climate has warmed about 0.6 °C in the past 100 years, but most of that warming occurred prior to 1940, before the post WW II industrialisation that led to an increase in carbon dioxide emissions. But warming does not confirm that CO2 is causing it. Climate is always warming or cooling. There are natural variability theories of warming.”

I too want a future for our Grandchildren, but I don’t want half the earth torn up to satisfy the demand for cobalt and lithium to manufacture plastic encased batteries to run EVs. So, by all means let’s better manage factory emissions, but an EV is not an answer for a multitude of reasons, nor will they make one iota of difference to mitigating the forever natural, changing climate – all it will do is make people feel good but at farmers’ expense!

On the beat We’re on the beat – say hello with Ryan Fleming

For the foreseeable future Police will be conducting Operation Whatitiri in Te Awamutu.

This operation involves having multiple staff from Te Awamutu and other stations deploying in the district undertaking enforcement, prevention and support to local staff.

The enforcement phase will focus on identifying priority offenders and warrants to arrest and gathering information to identify drug houses while assisting local staff with volume crime and offenders.

Three hotspot zones in the township have been identified and police will undertake high visibility prevention activities as well as executing search warrants.

A large part of the operation will involve intelligence collection from the community.

While a number of hotspots have been identified; we are seeking further information from the community. If you have any information that may be of assistance, I urge you to please call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. Any calls to this number remain completely anonymous.

During this operation I want to set up further Neighbourhood Support networks.

Often people within the hotspot areas feel alone, isolated and vulnerable.

Joining Neighbourhood Support helps those to realise they are not alone. Local police staff will also be involved using the mobile Police station and taking a problem solving approach to areas already identified.

If you see the Mobile Police Station out and about, don’t be shy, come and say hello.

The Trust supports education for vulnerable children, especially girls, many of whom are trafficked for sex or sold into early marriage. It

CCT currently sponsors about 400 children, supports 23 schools in Cambodia, and runs programmes in 17 teacher training colleges around the country. The first five sponsored children have completed their schooling and tertiary education.

Florence celebrates radio racing

By Viv Posselt

The return of racing to the airways this month as part of a new sports radio network leaves Cambridge’s Florence Shearman feeling vindicated in her efforts to bring racing back to the fans.

Radio Sport fell silent at the end of March last year when its owners, NZME, declared it non-viable in a Covid-19

environment. At around the same time, the TAB’s Trackside Radio closed. Fans of both hoped that when sport and racing returned, so would the wall-to-wall coverage they once enjoyed.

An announcement last month revealed that sports, including racing, will be back on the airways from July 19 via a dedicated 24/7 platform to be delivered by SENZ, the

Fraser-Campin.

newly-formed Kiwi arm of Australia’s largest syndicator of sports radio content, Sports Entertainment Network (SEN).

Speaking at an Auckland event last month, the network’s CEO Craig Hutchison said the July 19 launch, on almost 30 radio stations across New Zealand and on the SENZ app – the latter is already available to New Zealanders - would set the tone just days out from the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. He pledged SENZ would deliver live sport broadcasting, racing and sports-talk content.

The loss of Trackside Radio a year ago irked Florence Shearman, a well-known advocate for seniors and ardent racing fan. She said: “I mix with a lot of jockeys, trainers, staff at the stables and the like, and everyone was really disappointed. I listened to what they were

saying and mentioned it to Winston Peters when he was here for a Cambridge Jockey Club meeting. I know he has worked hard to bring it back.”

Florence said many seniors were racing fans who relied heavily on radio to follow their sport. “Some of them are sight-impaired and can’t watch it on television. Others involved in the industry relied heavily on it to follow racing news. I am very pleased to see it’s coming back.”

It was also announced last month that SENZ would be the major partner of New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing’s (NZTR) 2021 Horse of the Year Awards, to be held in September.

Hutchison said the network was proud to partner the awards. “New Zealand owners, breeders, trainers, jockeys and participants have united to drive the industry forward despite the most

difficult circumstances ever encountered on the back of the global pandemic.”

NZTR chief executive Bernard Saundry said: “We are excited to have SENZ on board for the Awards. Having worked closely with SEN in Australia over the past 12 months, we are looking forward to their impact on the New Zealand market.”

Cambridge Jockey Club CEO Mark Fraser-Campin said he was delighted to see the return of racing to the airways. “It will serve to meet the needs of those who rely on radio for their sporting information and will further encourage people to listen to racing.”

Both men gave Florence the thumbs up for advocating for the return of racing radio.

“Good on her … overall this will be good for the industry,” said Mark.

Matariki at the museum

Te Awamutu Museum is poised to celebrate Matariki, the Maori New Year, with school holiday workshops and several other events.

The July school holiday creative activity workshops are supported by Toi Oriwa Creative Spaces. The focus this year will be on activity learning, with youngsters given the resources and tuition to make their own poi and play the Māori tī rākau

stick game. Those bringing their own ukuleles will also be able to learn the basics individually and perform as a group.

Leading the workshops will be Oriwa Morgan-Ward, a long-established artist who returned to New Zealand in 2013 after living abroad for 35 years. She holds a Bachelor in Māori Contemporary Art, diplomas in Te Reo Māori, and Adult Education, and a

certificate in Rongoā Māori.

“I love to share my Māori culture with people,” she said. “In each creative activity workshop, each participant is gifted permission to learn about our amazing culture and share their learnings with others.”

Morgan-Ward received Creative Community funding to present the workshops. She said working in the museum, surrounded by taonga and history, makes it easier for her to talk about her culture.”

Te Awamutu Museum Exhibitions Co-ordinator Henriata Nicholas said Morgan-Ward’s engaging presentation style meant there was always great community support for the Matariki workshops. “Oriwa is such a positive and creative activator for Māori arts development in the Waikato.

She has a huge following.”

A Matariki Star Installation will run until July 10 and a Winter Wellness Programme of adult workshops will start on July 17.

The school holiday programme offers ‘Make your own Poi’ on July 13 and 20, Tī Rākau Stick Game on July 14 and 21, and Ukulele sessions on July 15 and 22.

Terrorism /’tεrərizəm/ noun The unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.

“Intimidation is intentional behaviour that ‘would cause a person of ordinary sensibilities’ to fear injury or harm. It is not necessary to prove that the behaviour was so violent as to cause mean terror or that the victim was actually frightened.” Wikipedia.

“For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and selfdiscipline,” (sound judgment, sound mind, self-control.) 2 Timothy 1:7.

Our democracy is based upon selfdetermination, honouring each person’s right to control their own life and separately experience the outcome of their choices. It allows freedom of speech and other ways of expression, the opinion pieces in this publication being good examples. Honour of individual sovereignty is unchanged since God’s gracious permission for Adam and Eve to choose to either respect his authority or hand it to the lying personification of evil.

Caveat emptor! The “fine print” in their contract was not considered.

Heaven and earth were created to co-exist and in the Biblical account Jesus predicted that together they will pass away at the end of the age. His disciples were called ambassadors of his heavenly kingdom in this world, but - as Jesus the King of the Jews told Pilate the Prefect of Judaea - his heavenly kingdom is not an earthly political kingdom and Pilate had no earthly authority over him unless given from above. John 18:36 & 19:11.

Our democratically elected government has carefully managed fear among New

Zealand citizens to motivate conformity above freedom to choose whether or not, before the end of 2021, to have a genetically engineered product injected into their bloodstream that Medsafe cannot legally approve before January 2022. John Key agreed, “Anyone who does not get vaccinated is downright selfish and should feel the consequences of refusing.” Not stick and carrot persuasion but stick and stick.

Not NZ party politics but international politics. Not democracy.

Concerning “unlawful intimidation against civilians for political aims,” our trusted government, on having their unlawfulness called out, have retrospectively changed the law so that by this rort their plan to control individuals through terrorist fear may continue. Fear is a liar. How perverse that in the name of anti-terrorism our “democratic” government is introducing legislation to curtail individual freedom under the definitions of “Hate Speech.”

Caveat emptor.

Question: Has authority been given for all this from above? All heavenly authority on earth (Matthew 16:18-19, 18:18, 28:18) has been given by Jesus to his ecclesia, his governing body the Church, who in this instance seem to have done a no-show. Godgiven individuality is being eroded by grains of sand, pebbles then rocks to become a landslide. Jesus changed the name of Simon bar Jonah from “Pebble” to “Rock.” The landslide loving authority of today’s ecclesia is overdue.

If this diatribe seems inflammatory it is because I have not been taking the pills…

Give a mum a muffin

By Viv Posselt

Te Awamutu’s ‘muffin lady’ Jill Taylor is hoping more people across the region will volunteer to make muffins for mums at Waikato Hospital’s Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU).

Jill spearheads an initiative she started 11 years ago to offer mums at the unit a lunchtime snack. Her own new-born grandson spent six weeks in the unit 11 years ago, and she saw firsthand how difficult it was for the mums to access meals, particularly if they had no family or other supporters available to help out.

“There was a fridge there, but often by the end of the day, whatever they had put in there had gone,” she said.

“There were women in the unit from quite far afield who had absolutely no family support.”

Jill stepped in. She started taking chilly bins of food into the unit, one to begin with and then three of them.

She campaigned to get the NICU mums better supported in terms of food, finally succeeding in securing breakfasts and meal vouchers, and then enlisted several volunteers to make dozens of home-made muffins for lunchtimes.

There are generally around 40 mums linked to the unit through their babies.

Jill started providing muffins five days a week, but for the past two years has extended that to seven days. That amounts to about 280 muffins a week.

She has three regular volunteer bakers in Hamilton, one in Ōhaupo and a few in Te Awamutu. Some supermarkets help by donating slightly

shop-damaged items, but for the most part, the volunteer bakers supply both ingredients and time.

The muffins are either delivered or collected, little baskets or bags of tasty treats, individually-wrapped and labelled.

“Some people make a batch, others do several dozen,” she said. Jill’s husband Alan Taylor, also known as the ‘muffin man’, most often delivers the batches to the hospital.

“They are always very gratefully received, and given the numbers we

supply, we really need more volunteer bakers to help us. Those coming on board can make as many or as few as they like, and we can collect them if that is easier than delivering to me.”

Jill has lived in Te Awamutu for the past 15 years or so. She is known to advocate around concerns where she sees them and applies an equally high-energy approach to her muffin initiative.

Those keen to help should contact Jill on 027 415 4908 or email her at jill@ taylormaderesolutions.co.nz.

Funding chance for Community groups

Non-profit community groups can now apply for financial assistance from Waipā District Council’s discretionary funds.

The Community Discretionary Fund, which supports community activities or projects, opened on Monday.

Waipā District Council’s Group Manager, Strategy and Community Services Debbie Lascelles said this year’s fund would be distributed in two rounds as opposed to one as in previous years.

“We think breaking up the funding allocation into two rounds, one in September and another early next year in April, will allow funding to be distributed more evenly across the year.

“I would encourage all community groups with a suitable project to take a look at the council website and start their application. This is an opportunity for nonprofit community groups to get projects underway where funding has been a constraint in the past.”

The 2020/21 community discretionary fund helped Roto-o-Rangi School upgrade their school pool, Pirongia Forest Park Lodge install a long-drop toilet and

Let’s get

buy sustainable camping equipment, and Te Rahu District Hall Society to build a new accessibility ramp for the community, amongst many other groups.

This year’s fund will be distributed in two rounds with the first closing on 13 August 2021.

Applications from this round will be considered at the September Te Awamutu and Cambridge Community Board meetings.

A second round will open early next year and be considered in April. Funding is typically allocated for amounts between $200 and $2,000+GST but applications seeking larger funding amounts may also be considered.

Going with the water flow Blair Voorend takes readers through Waipā’s new water treatment plant.

By Blair Voorend

With water a big issue talked about around the country, in Waipā the Water Treatment Plant on Parallel Road is close to completion.

But many in the community probably don’t even know where their rates to pay for water go or where their water comes from.

So we took a tour of the $36m project to find out.

The new facility is seen as an upgrade for the future infrastructure of the region and a project to accommodate for the growing population in the region.

Waipa Council project engineer Gordon Macrae said the new plant will take over work from the old plant and service a wider growing area.

The existing plant has a processing capability of 3-4 mega litre (million litres) – the new one will handle 12 mega litre and there is expansion room to reach 16.

Council takes 26,410 cubic metres (26

million litres) of water every day to feed Waipā from various sources, so with a growing population improved systems are needed with Parallel Rd to be a great benefit to the Te Awamutu region.

A simple breakdown of how the facility works is seen as a four step process of how the water comes into the treatment plant and out the other side treated and ready to drink.

The first step is flocculation where a chemical called ACH, aluminum chlorohydrate, is added to the water straight from the river in a flocculation tank to bind organics in the water that are easy to screen out.

From the flocculation tank it moves to the prescreen, which is a plant that sucks water through membranes which are 500 microns thick - half a millimetre - and extract any waste built up after the flocculation process.

The waste from this then goes into man made ponds on site where it can be recycled through the same process saving a further

10 percent of water. Left over sludge, cleared from ponds annually, will go to the Cambridge Waste Water Treatment Plant.

“It ensures that we get the most out of the water we have pumping through and minimise as much waste as possible,” Macrae said.

After the prescreening the water moves to the filtration process involving four giant racks with four filters in each and 32 tubes with fibres in each screen the water before it moves to the UV and chlorination stage.

The water gets a final UV screening which also monitors for odour and taste.

Macrae says the UV process reduces odour.

“During the summer there tends to be higher levels of algae which can leave a bad taste or smell in the already clean water.”

The water is then pumped out to Taylor’s Hill reservoir in Te Awamutu and a 1.5 mega litre reserve tank on the Parallel Rd. A highly advanced system it takes a lot of technology and power to keep things running

- half of the plant cost, $18 million, goes into its “engine room”. Macrae said that with the new plant and its capability it will later become the hub of Waipa’s water system.

The water treatment plant upgrade began in June 2020 and is ahead of its end-ofOctober 2021 completion date.

Macrae said that the development has been done without a hitch with construction starting on time while design work was able to continue through lockdown.

The project could be planned well in advance and equipment was ordered from overseas early to avoid delays “Not having started construction until after the lockdown we were able to plan ahead so we didn’t have any delays with shipping,” There were delays in the new 16km supply pipeline started in October 2019, notably a month long shutcown as a result of Covid.

The line will connect Taylor’s Hill reservoir in Te Awamutu to the new treatment on Parallel Road.

AGE OF REASON

NO PLANET B

A jab at bureaucracy

Fluoride: forming a view

Watching a much-relieved Minister Chris Hipkins show clear relief that the latest planeladen pallets of Pfizer Covid tubes arrived on Monday took me back to the experience of being jabbed. Medically and professionally speaking the use of the word jab is both ugly and demeaning but having now undergone the two flesh-invading experiences the word does, somehow, feel apt.

Now that we of more advanced years have accomplished – but not necessarily accepted – that we are Level 3 participants in this poorly administered invasion of our bodies, it behoves us to examine the experience, together with how the government and its medical agents have handled the whole saga.

Firstly, we have learned that when a senior politician – with relatively little experience of the political spectrum – appears in our screendominated lounge and declares that there will be a million purple-topped tubes arriving in July he does not mean during July where the mid-point is the 15th of the month.

He means by 11.59pm on the 31st. Hipkins is an inherently honest man thrust into a role that was not of his making. But his sincere honesty is matched with a cherubic countenance that makes him good for television. And an (almost) believing nation glued to his every word.

That the same cherub can also say, in the same breath, that the whole nation will have their jabs by the end of 2021 is possibly his equally honest personal belief. Apart from the naysayers who insist on refusing to accept the needle and thus place the other 85 per centor-so people at increasing risk. What drives these people beggars belief but read the average letter to the editor in any newspaper and they will be revealed. Accept, if you will, that it is their God-given right to protest but I would be surprised if they have had any conversations with the deity to hear his view.

So, I have had my protective fluids inserted into my arm. Which necessitated driving twice to Te Rapa – two round trips totalling one-and-three-quarter hours - to move, at a good speed, through the six-layered

Chatting to a client the other day, the conversation turned to a subject I know to be controversial. I won’t feign a view I don’t hold but sometimes it is best to avoid a subject rather than clash with someone for whom I am, for the time being, working.

Referrals are good too, and less likely to come from someone I have recently disagreed with.

As it happens the subject in question was fluoridation of the water supply - a subject on which I do not have a view.

This, I thought, is something which needs to be remedied; not the fluoridation of the water - my lack of a viewpoint.

So, I have been doing a bit of reading. It seems that like many topics, there are as many arguments as there are participants in the conversation.

There have certainly been a lot of studies undertaken and the conclusions reached are spread across the spectrum of possible positions.

The only demonstrable benefit of putting fluoride in a community’s water supply is a probable reduction in dental caries (tooth decay) amongst the population.

On the other hand, it can be shown that there are potential risks in terms of toxicity to certain persons of the added fluoride, notwithstanding that it can also be shown that there are no risks. Depends which study you look at.

This is looking like a fairly even argument, which is why some authorities (I’m talking worldwide here) choose to fluoridate their water supply and others do not.

It has been said that in order to reach the teeth of the stratum of society which might benefit most from it, the fluoride should be added to soft drinks rather than drinking

checking, re-checking, piercing, checked again and lollypop-supported mandatory 20 minute pre-departure waiting procedures. Perfectly reasonable and polite people to greet, meet, administer, jab and then enforce entrapment in a very bare room while awaiting release.

The role of the District Health Board – on its knees in A&E terms - is very questionable.

Their inability to let their autocratic control go a fraction - to at least permit country town medical centres to do the ‘local’ thing - is only a whisper short of criminal. But it appears we wilt into nothing short of being in a magnificent position compared to other regions. Driving down from Auckland at dinnertime on Friday the talkback radio informed me that there is a ‘secret’ phone number in Taranaki. Primarily it was for the sole use of MIQ workers to arrange for their Covid medication. But the 0800 number (broadcast to all who cared to listen) is now in the hands of the wily elderly folk of Taranaki who use it gleefully and successfully to bypass the DHB’s abhorrent bureaucracy.

But wait – there is, on the car radio, a call next from Bay of Plenty letting their ‘secret’ number out of the bag – followed seemingly a fraction of a second later, by the one in use in Northland.

When all this is over the high standards of medical support at our DHB will sadly be sullied by the appalling administration side of the wobbly and inefficient money-devouring of the DHB management.

If you want a speedy and efficient, friendly service there is an excellent, mainly Maori managed, facility in Wairere Dive, Hamilton much closer to Cambridge. Friends of ours who have utilised it for their Covid jabs speak highly of the friendly and efficient service.

Amazing how the Number 8 wire mentality, that has led this country’s innovations for generations, can circumvent political correctness and TV screen pronouncements.

water. That point leads to the argument that protecting the teeth of children who do not clean them should be the responsibility of parents rather than the local authority.

I can see some weight in that argument.

Iodised table salt has been a success story in reducing iodine deficiency and the illnesses which arise from it - goitre is one of them - I remember learning about that in geography lessons. I recall it being predominantly a third world condition.

Interestingly, fluoride can be added to salt a lot more cheaply than it can be added to water, and maybe would hit more of its target demographic when conveyed in that medium. Of course, this has been tried and the results are as varied as might be expected.

So - do I have a view yet?

Water fluoridation was big news in the early 20th century, particularly in the US, and perhaps its persistence today has more to do with momentum than sense.

There is ample information available in all societies where fluoridation of the water supply might feasibly occur to enable parents to ensure the dental health of their children - should that be a priority for them.

Therefore, IONLY think my view PLANET is this: It is not the responsibility of the local authority to add fluoride to the town water supply.

New plan, new look home

By Blair Voorend

Ōtorohanga District Council has made significant changes with its newly adopted Long Term Plan – and is now in new-look chambers.

Last week the council celebrated the opening of its refurbished chambers with mana whenua, staff and community members.

“We acknowledge the dawn of a new era in our working relationship with Māori,” Mayor Max Baxter said.

“I see the facelift of these chambers as symbolic of this. The chambers had not changed for many, many years as new councils, elected members and mayors served their term representing the people of Ōtorohanga.”

Having unveiling the new-look council chambers, councillors set out toa adopt their Long Term Plan.

“This Long Term Plan is significantly different to any other Long Term Plan that I have ever been a part of,” Baxter said.

“It is different in that we have engaged with

our communities, we have listened to the people of our district and we have created a plan that will serve us well over the next 10 years and beyond, while ensuring we remain one of the most affordable districts in New Zealand in which to live.”

Council went out to formal public consultation on its LTP in April and received a total of 60 submissions, with the proposed wastewater scheme for Kāwhia being the focus point of many of the submissions.

Council expects to spend $458 million in capital and operating expenses to support the district for the next 10 years. This includes the following investment in community infrastructure, facilities and spaces - $177m for roading and footpaths, $62m for water supply, $35m for wastewater, $4m in stormwater treatment and $46m in community facilities/spaces.

The community made a number of request for changes which led to amendments.

They include accelerated investment in water,

wastewater and stormwater infrastructure for Kāwhia and Ōtorohanga’s urban centre development.

The council will work look at the need for a new

community wastewater scheme in Kāwhia and place a greater focus on education to minimise waste to landfill as well as considering the feasibility of a resource

recovery centre. Ōtorohanga’s initial plan factored in a rate rise of 8.08 percent for the first year, but amendments have reduced that number.

The rates increase for the district will now be 4.12 percent for the first year, 5.50 percent in 2022/23 and 5.68 percent in 23/24.

Tikanga takes its place in business Learning about tikanga, the protocols and practices of the Māori world, is increasingly important for businesses, Te Wānanga o Aotearoa kaiako Tiriana Anderson says.

He tutors TWoA’s Te Whāinga o Te Ao Tikanga Level 3 Certificate programme at the Apakura campus in Te Awamutu.

“Understanding te ao Māori, our world, and knowing how to act within it are skills modern Kiwi business people need to know to operate most effectively,” says Tiriana.

“Māori rituals and tikanga are an increasingly common ‘shared space’ between all New Zealand cultures and learning about tikanga helps businesses inhabit that space authentically.”

The 25-year-old has strong whakapapa links to Waikato iwi, affiliating with Ngāti Maniapoto, Ngāti Rārua and Waikato on his mother’s side, and to Ngāti Rereahu, Ngāti Hikairo and Ngāti Maniapoto again on his father’s.

He has a passion for teaching and inspiring pūrākau (stories), kōrero tuku iho (ancestral knowledge), whakapapa and te ao Māori generally.

“On our course, we look at the many aho or strands that are woven together to make up the fabric of te ao Māori.

“People come to know and understand some of the Māori cultural practices, and can navigate them with confidence.”

These include formal powhiri, tangihanga (funerals), whakatau (general welcomes) and karakia.

Tiriana says tikanga also helps businesses establish a model or basis for relationships in the workplace, and with

clients and stakeholders, particulary Māori.

“Tikanga allows people to define and describe for themselves what their purpose is. It’s like a road map of what teamwork looks like and how effective relationships can work in any context, and to develop relationships through a principled approach.

“In the business scene relationships are some of the most important things and tikanga provides the tools to work out where these relationships fit in. It’s a bit like a Swot (Strength, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis. We encourage businesses to consider sending members to our tikanga courses to help them develop effective relationships skills, in their own worlds and particularly if they engage with te ao Māori.”

On the rituals of te ao Māori – such as pōwhiri and karakia – becoming an increasingly shared common space for Kiwis, Tiriana feels this space is boosting mutual understanding around reciprocity (mutual obligations to each other).

“For example, in class we teach about the aspect of aroha (love) involved in recognising that we sometimes need to change and adjust the way we do things to end the distress of others or to help them be their best.”

For Māori, the course offers a chance to connect in detail with te ao Māori and the history of tangata whenua, while for nonMāori it provides a foundational understanding of that world and helps people to confidently engage with it.

“For non-Māori, I have a saying, that in order for you to understand te ao Māori

you need to see yourself in it. This course will help you find your place there.”

The mana of people, the land, te reo Māori and the natural world are all key “pou” or pillars supporting what’s taught on the course.

“These are the four key pou of tikanga. They encompass the complexity and entirety of tikanga Māori,” says Tiriana.

He sees clear benefits for everyone of having more people – Māori, Pākehā and other ethnicities – understanding and incorporating authentic

tikanga Māori into their lives.

“It helps them understand their place individually and shows them the Māori world is not only just for Māori.

This is everyone’s world.

“It’s also about feeling more at home in Aotearoa, feeling more at home within yourself.

Tikanga takes people on a journey of reflection, and development. You can find a spiritual awareness and confidence you never knew you had, enhanced by an understanding you never thought existed.”

Tiriana Anderson says tikanga helps businesses establish a basis for relationships.

Culinary festival to return

Culinary Cambridge back on the menu for five days in September Cambridge will host the event from September 15 to 19, highlighting the abundance and variety of local produce, and the talent of its chefs.

The inaugural Culinary Cambridge was held in 2019 but became a Covid victim last year.

The event is organised by

Cambridge restaurateurs and Destination Cambridge.

This year’s programme includes an opening night at The Henley hotel, degustation menus, a mixology session, Italian long lunches, farm and winery tours, and a worm farming workshop.

“We’ve also got producer visits for people keen to see where their food comes from and how it’s grown;

this event truly celebrates our food scene – from farm gate to plate,” says Macdiarmid.

“September coincides with spring produce and the town looks wonderful at that time – full of spring blossom. Importantly, it helps the local economy in that ‘shoulder’ season, a time that’s traditionally quiet for our businesses.”

Preparing for Culinary Cambridge’s special opening night at The Henley hotel were Destination Cambridge chief executive Miff Macdiarmid with hotel owners Brent Webster (left) and Darryn Whitehead (right) with The Henley’s head chef Corey Moratti.

Semi-final Red chance for points challenge for Marist Marist will fly Te Awamutu’s flag as it heads to a Waikato club rugby semi final for the first time in nine years on Saturday.

Grant James’ second division side was beaten by a good Raglan outfit last weekend but held on to fourth place on points differential.

In the top flight, Te Awamutu Sports’ main round campaign ended last weekend with a 41-27 loss to Hamilton Old Boys, who had grown in strength during the campaign.

Sports finished fifth on the ladder, well clear of Melville, Ōtorohanga and Morrinsville and won social media praise after the Saturday showing.

Former Chief Jackson Willison recently took over the coaching role at the club following his return from the United Kingdom and he has also been assisting at Ōtorohanga College.

The race for the Waikato Breweries Shield will come down to two clubs this weekend as Hautapu takes on Marist and Fraser Tech play Old Boys in the semi-finals.

Reigning champs Hautapu retained the Haswell Catley Trophy last weekend with an outstanding win over previously unbeaten Tech, and form would suggest those two clubs are favourites to square off again in the final. Ōtorohanga struggled in the main round after finishing behind Hautapu and Tech in the first round, managing just one win in seven outings, culminating in a 53-24 loss at Hamilton Marist.

In the Championship Leamington could earn a promotion spot this weekend if it can repeat its win over University of a couple of week ago.

Matamata takes on neighbours Hinuera in the other semi-final and having chalked up seven straight wins in this round will be expected to win and return to the premiership.

Both finalists gain automatic entry to the top grade, from where Matamata and University dropped down after the first round.

Hinuera’s win over Ōhaupō last weekend ended the Waipā club’s hopes of making the top four.

Pirongia found the going too tough in the main round and was well beaten, 50-0 by University last weekend.

Te Awamutu Marist’s reward for finishing fourth in the second division is a semi-final against a Hamilton Old Boys side which has been barely tested all season.

James suggested after seeing Old Boys swamp his side early on I the season that his opponents were in the wrong division.

Huntly take on Hamilton Marist in the other semifinal.

Te Awamutu Marist can already point to a successful campaign.

“It’s been a huge turnaround from previous years as Marist was always in the bottom two,” James said.

He joined the club as head coach after spending three seasons coaching Te Awamutu College.

His side has featured the return of former Marist player Cody Collins and eight players recruited from the 2020 Te Awamutu College first XV. “Add in the experience of players like Scott Sands, Mitai Tuuta and John Galloway the club is heading in the right direction and are looking forward to see what this weekend brings,” James said.

Te Awamutu coach Jim Grainger identified games his young charges in the WaiBop football championship could harvest points from a few weeks ago.

One of them was no doubt next Saturday’s opponents Waikato Unicol.

The Reds came home from Te Puke empty handed last weekend, having paid the price for three individual errors in a 3-1 defeat to a side which has moved to fourth on the table.

For Grainger those errors are a fact of life when he is fielding a young side.

“We played well, we missed a penalty in the second half and had the ball cleared off the line in the last minute – I would have been happy with a draw,” he said.

“But with Euan McLeod suspended we fielded three youngsters across the middle – it’s the first season at this level for many of my players, they are getting so much better, but inexperienced players are prone to rushing things, and we were punished.”

He will field an equally young – if not younger squad for Unicol with the school holidays starting and college teams not playing.

Grainger sees the future of the club in developing young players – even though it is inevitable that when they reach a

certain standard they will be attracted to clubs at a higher level.

But he is delighted with the atmosphere in the squad.

Of his team’s current run of defeats, he said “losing isn’t good, but to be fair, the performances have been good.”

Te Puke capitalised on a hattrick of errors in a 15 minute spell in the first half, leaving Te Awamutu with everything to do.

The side rose to the challenge in the second half, but it wasn’t until the 89th minute that they were rewarded.

“Sean Stringfellow swivelled and shot from the edge of the box – not bad for a 35-year-old centre half,” he said.

Grainger paid tribute to his veteran defender.

“He’s taking First Kicks for the juniors, coaching a school team and is still on the pitch on a Saturday afternoon.”

It was Stringfellow’s first goal for the club since moving from Tauranga two seasons ago – and he almost had a second as a last minute shot was cleared off the line.

Te Awamutu is at home at The Stadium on Saturday – kick off is 2.45pm.

“We beat them away – I’m hoping we’ll Sean Stringfellow grabbed Te Awamutu’s late consolation goal. do the same at home,” Grainger said.

Makzabeel a potential Cups horse Progressive four-year-old Makzabeel is putting together a nice record and was a dominant winner of the Northbeam Timber Beams and Posts Rating 74 (2100m) at Ruakaka on Saturday, making it back-to-back victories at the northern venue.

The son of Makfi has now won four of his 10 starts, with a further three placings and trainer Tony Pike is giving plenty of thought as to how he best places the improving stayer, who is raced by Auckland lawyer Bruce Dell.

“I just had a good talk to Bruce Dell, and he was quite keen on the idea of taking him to Sydney for a couple of runs while he was going through the grades, but he is not probably the most correct horse in the world, so we will probably take him through the grades here and see what level he gets to,” Pike said.

“He is entered for the Winter Cup (Gr.3, 1600m) and that would mean dropping back in distance, but that could be an option if the track doesn’t end up too bad down at Riccarton.

“The more likely option is he will work through his grades and we look at a Cup option before the tracks become too firm through the summer.”

Despite having won his past couple of starts at Ruakaka, Pike wasn’t hellbent on keeping to the Whangarei circuit which will host a series of racemeetings through the winter, believing that multiple trips north can be taxing on horses.

“We will see how he pulls up through the week before working out a plan, but if he doesn’t go down to Christchurch for the Winter Cup then he is likely to head to another Rating 74 staying race before hitting open company and possibly looking at something better in the spring,” Pike said.

“He is lightly raced and we have given him plenty of time. He still does a bit wrong but is building a nice record. If everything goes to plan, there is no reason why he couldn’t be up to Cups class off a light-weight in the spring.” – NZ Racing Desk

Racing briefs…

Sanson enjoying venture north

Apprentice jockey Maria Sanson has made the move north from Awapuni where she has signed on to complete her apprenticeship under Matamata trainer Danica Guy. The 26-year-old partnered the Guy-trained Monza to victory in a 900m trial at Taupo on Tuesday and is enjoying her time at the busier Matamata training centre, having relocated in early May. “I’ve moved up to the Waikato to be under Danica now for the rest of my apprenticeship,” Sanson said.

“Monza is one that Danica bred herself and has always been part of her system. He is quite a nice easy ride and he went well today in his trial.

“My partner lives and works in Cambridge and we were travelling between Palmerston North and Cambridge all the time to see each other, so it just made sense for one of us to move.”

Sanson, who graduated from Massey University with a conjoint Bachelor of Business and BA majoring in International Business Management and Politics, has three wins to her name over the past 12 months of riding and is hoping to snare more rides in the north given her ability to ride light.

“My book weight is 50 kilos, so I can claim four kilos off pretty much everything on the card, which helps as I don’t have to pick and choose what weights to ride at,” she said.

“I am enjoying being at Matamata. It is very professional.”

Jason Belltree Hong Kong bound

Group Two performed three-year-old Jason Belltree is set to continue his racing in Asia after recently being sold to Hong Kong interests.

The Bruce Wallace and Grant Cooksley-trained gelding had a pleasing Classic season, finishing runner-up in the Gr.3 Bonecrusher Stakes (1400m), Gr.2 Auckland Guineas (1600m), and Gr.2 Avondale Guineas (2100m).

Pleased with his three-year-old term, his trainers believe he will be ideally suited to racing in Hong Kong.

“He should really suit racing up in Hong Kong, I think he is best at a mile,” Cooksley said.

Meanwhile, stablemate Gino Severini is back in work ahead of his spring campaign.

“He is back in and I will just bring him along slowly,” Cooksley said. “He will follow a similar path to last year, but we will just see how he comes up. He will tell us.”

The rising eight-year-old gelding’s season was highlighted by his victory in the Gr.3 Eagle Technology Stakes (1600m) at Ellerslie last November.

Coconut cool

Venetian explorer and writer Marco Polo is considered to be the first westerner to pay any attention to the coconut. ‘One of these nuts,’ he wrote, ‘is a meal for a man, both meat and drink’. In the tropics, the backyard coconut palm takes the place of the family cow. Coconut cream and milk play an even more important part in tropical menus than cows’ milk in our cuisine.

The thin, refreshing clear liquid which pours from a young coconut when it is opened is not coconut cream or milk. It is coconut water which these days now preserved in tetrapaks and bottles as a health drink. Coconut cream and milk are prepared by squeezing grated coconut flesh with a little water until a thick liquid is produced. This, when left in the refrigerator overnight, will form a thick layer and a thin layer — cream and milk.

Although it is considered an alternative milk for people with lactose intolerance or those following vegan or paleo diets, the calorie contents of coconut and dairy milks differ hugely.

There are about 750 kilojoules in 100 mls of coconut milk and 265 in 100 mls of blue milk. Choose lower fat coconut milk, if available DOUBLE COCONUT & MANGO LOAF Measure the base of loaf pan.

1 3/4 cups desiccated coconut 400g can coconut milk 3/4 cup caster sugar 1 egg, lightly beaten 1 teaspoon vanilla essence 1 2/3 cups self-raising flour 1 cup diced frozen mango pieces Combine the desiccated coconut and the coconut milk in a large bowl. Cover and stand for 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line the base and sides of a 21cm x 10cm loaf pan with baking paper.

Stir the caster sugar, egg and vanilla essence into the coconut mixture. Sift the flour over the top. Gently stir to combine. Fold in the mango reserving a few pieces for the top.

Double coconut & mango loaf

Pina colada tarts and whipped coconut cream

Spoon the mixture into the loaf pan. Sprinkle with the reserved mango Bake for 1 1/4 hours or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes then cool completely on a wire rack.

Great served for breakfast lightly toasted, or with morning or afternoon coffee or tea.

TAMARIND & COCONUT FISH So easy, so delish.

250g skinned and boned white fish fillets 3 tablespoons lime or lemon juice 1 tablespoon canola oil 1 shallot, diced 1 clove garlic, crushed 1 teaspoon sriracha sauce 2 teaspoons tamarind paste 3/4 cup coconut cream flour for dusting 1/4 cup chopped coriander Place the fish in a shallow dish and add the lime or lemon juice. Turn the fish over then leave for 5 minutes.

Heat a little oil in a frying pan. Gently fry the shallot until tender. Add the garlic, sriracha sauce, tamarind paste and coconut cream. Bring to a simmer, then cook gently for 2 minutes. Add a little water if too thick.

Meanwhile, pat the fish dry and dust in the flour. Heat the remaining oil in a separate frying pan. Pan-fry the fish for about 1 minute each side until lightly coloured. Transfer the fish to the coconut sauce and add the coriander. Great served with rice. Serves 2.

PINA COLADA TARTS & WHIPPED COCONUT CREAM Whipped Coconut Cream: 400g can coconut cream 3 tablespoons icing sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla essence Coconut Custard: 2 tablespoons custard powder 3 tablespoons each: sugar, water 400g can coconut milk 2-3 tablespoons white rum Tarts: 12 small baked tartlet shells 1-2 slices fresh or canned pineapple 1/2 cup toasted desiccated coconut Chill the can of coconut cream overnight.

Next day, scoop the solid coconut cream into a bowl. Add the icing sugar and vanilla essence. Beat until whipped.

Chill until required. It will solidify so remove from the fridge 5 minutes before serving. It will keep for 2-3 weeks covered in the fridge.

To make the custard, place the custard powder, sugar and water in a microwave-proof bowl, stirring until smooth. Add the coconut milk. Microwave on high power for 2 minutes, stir well then continue cooking for 1-2 minutes, until thickened. Stir well. Cool. Stir in the rum. Refrigerate for up to 2 days if required.

Pat the pineapple dry and grill or pan-fry in a ridged frying pan. Cut into 2cm pieces. Cool.

Fill the tartlet shells with the custard. Top with pieces of pineapple and a swirl of piped whipped coconut cream.

Sprinkle with the toasted coconut. Makes 12 small tartlets.

Specifications: For supplied adverts: PDF/X – 4 spec, fonts pathed or embedded, text 100% black. Photos & logos – high resolution jpg (300dpi). All files to be large. Colours to be CMYK not RGB. Photos should be colour corrected with a total ink level of approximately 220%.

Rate card: Rates are based over a 12-month period starting from the date the first ad publishes. Rate bracket e.g. 6 insertions, 12 insertions etc. chosen allows ad sizes to vary within the rate bracket. If the number of insertions chosen is not met then a bulk charge will be applied at the end/cancellation of your schedule based on correct rate reflective of the number of ads published e.g. if you have chosen the 12 insertion rate and only publish 6 insertions, the bulk charge will be the difference in price between the 6 insertion rate and 12 insertion rate multiplied by the number of ads published. You pay the rate reflective of the number of ads you actually publish.

Invoicing and Payments: For advertisers on a regular schedule invoices will be sent at the end of the month and payment is due by the 20th of the following month, otherwise payment is required by end of day Tuesday in advance of publishing.

Accounts in arrears +60 days may be subject to a $95 + GST late payment fee per month. Advertiser is responsible for all debt collection fees. Cancellation deadline is one week prior to publication. By confirming and placing advertising in Good Local Media Ltd publications you are agreeing to our terms and conditions of trade.

Limitation of Liability: Good Local Media Limited (including its employees, contractors, officers, or agents) shall not be liable for a failure or breach arising from anything beyond their reasonable control e.g. an act of God, fire, earthquake, strike, explosion, or electrical supply failure, unavoidable accident or machine breakdown; and shall not be liable in tort, contract, or otherwise for loss of any kind (whether indirect loss, loss of profits, or consequential loss) to the Advertiser or any other person.
