Taking care of business
Welcome in: Volunteers sort through donated items at HospiceShop in Te Awamutu. By Mary Anne Gill
When the Hospice Waikato retail managers in Cambridge and Te Awamutu arrived to start the new year raising muchneeded funds for palliative care, quite different scenes welcomed them. In Cambridge, Justine WebbElliott saw lots of rubbish such as an old barbecue, soiled clothes and broken furniture. Opportunists had already picked through any of the good stuff leaving the rest at the mercy of neighbourhood rodents. But in Te Awamutu, Hassan Shariff had no such problems because the message had finally got through. “Please only leave donated goods during shop
hours.” So why the difference? Hospice Waikato chief executive Craig Tamblyn pinpoints the change in attitude in Te Awamutu to a fire in the George Street premises several years ago. The subsequent publicity and near loss of the building was a real wake up call. “We’re quite lucky in Te Awamutu. They don’t dump there, they wait till we’re open and they come in,” he said. Not so in Cambridge and while Tamblyn says they still want donated goods and clothing, they would rather people dropped them off when the store is open. Te Awamutu is open Monday to Friday 10am to 2pm and
Saturday 10am to 2pm. In Cambridge, that is Monday to Friday 10am to 3pm and Saturday 10am to 1pm. There is photographic evidence of many of the people who donated rubbish in Cambridge for the hospice volunteers to sort through. Tamblyn said he had no hesitation in contacting the police. “We have prosecuted people before and will do it again.” Hospice Waikato has eight shops throughout the Waikato relying on a network of dedicated volunteers. Profits from the hospice shops provide funds for people living with a terminal illness. The shops are an integral part of the hospice’s fundraising efforts.
Heat will stay on By Mary Anne Gill
If you thought it was scorchingly hot in Waipā last week, it sure was -and a Niwa meteorologist says it is going to get hotter. The temperature gauge hit 34.7°C at Niwa’s Lake Karāpiro station on January 4, easily beating Waipā’s hottest day last year of 30. 9°C on January 14. Meteorologist Ben Noll said temperatures across the country were last year on average one degree higher than the previous year and the warmest year on record. “Be prepared for more hot weather though,” he said. Niwa has three Waipā stations at Waikeria, where readings were first taken last year on February 7, Karāpiro and Hamilton Airport.

If you are the one people always looks to for help or advice, have highly-tuned problem solving skills and communicate well, then Te Awamutu needs you. Local volunteers operate the Te Awamutu Citizens’ Advice Bureau in Alpha Street from Monday to Friday 9am to 3pm. It needs new volunteers to help the community. Manager Jessica Brown says the bureau operates three shifts a day as so volunteers do not have to work all day. Most work 2 ½ hours – or one shift - a week. Volunteers need to be friendly and inquisitive, she said. “We need mature people with life experience and good communication skills to be trained as interviewers. Our interviewers deal with people either by phone or in person, coming from a wide variety of backgrounds and with a broad range of issues, and questions about their rights.” Before volunteers deal with the public, they get full training. “Once trained, they get access to our vast on-line database to answer any enquiries. No day
is the same, and no caller the same, and as a volunteer it is always time to learn more.” Here are some examples of recent enquiries handled by the Waipā teams in Cambridge and Te Awamutu: • A client’s drain was blocked where it crossed his neighbour’s property and he asked who was responsible for paying for it to be cleared, him or the neighbour? • If the blockage was caused by damage to the pipe on the neighbour’s side, it would be the neighbour’s responsibility. • A tenant from Wellington had no tenancy agreement and the landlord put their rent up, effective immediately. What could she do about it? • As there was no tenancy agreement Tenancy Services could not intervene. However, a tenant must get at least 60 days’ written notice of a rent increase. She responded in writing (an email is fine) stating she would continue paying the current rent for 60 days, and that she may take her case to the Disputes’ Tribunal for a ruling. • A caller had purchased a motor vehicle over Trade Me. The vehicle broke down after a few kilometres. The seller did not respond to emails.
• If the car was purchased from a car dealer via Trade Me, the buyer could make a complaint to the Motor Vehicle Trades’ Association who have a mediation and a disputes’

On the beat with Senior Constable DEB THURGOOD Trouble on roads, and in water
Happy New Year to everyone. I hope this column finds you safe, relaxed and well. As you will have seen on the news, two prominent issues over the Christmas and New Year period were road trauma and water safety. The impact of these are lengthy and profound amongst family and friends of those involved as well as the attending emergency services. With increased holiday traffic on the roads, we have seen crashes caused by fatigue as well as inattention. I cannot stress enough the importance of planning your journeys, allowing plenty of time and taking breaks. If possible, share the driving responsibilities with others, swapping drivers along the way. Some people like to get a very early start to beat traffic jams and the heat of the day. It is important to consider the extra fatigue this brings, especially later in the day. One moment’s inattention can cause you to collide with someone else, or to miss being able to avoid the careless actions of another.
resolution service. • If the seller had not been a registered dealer, the recourse would be via the Trade Me complaints process and the Disputes Tribunal.
Along with this, have patience. When returning from a shift at Kawhia after New Year’s, I encountered a car which was in the process of overtaking a few others at speed, heading straight towards me, in my lane. When I stopped and spoke with the driver, he explained his actions as being due to frustration at a slower driver ahead. The road he had travelled was a winding section which warranted a more cautious approach. We should all drive to the conditions and our abilities and only pass when it is safe and prudent to do so. I touched on water safety at the end of 2021, but it is worth another mention. With the scorching temperatures of late, it is natural that more people have been getting into water to cool off. Basic swimming abilities are so important in New Zealand. Often drownings occur when people are out of their depth (literally), overestimate their abilities or are unfamiliar with beaches and boating.
Where surf lifeguards are on duty, always swim between the flags. If you are not a confident swimmer, stay close to shore and work a buddy system with friends or family so everyone is accounted for. In New Zealand, what appears to be a calm spot on a surf beach is frequently a rip - a strong narrow current running out to sea. If you get caught in a rip, stay calm, float on your back and let the current take you. Raise your hand and wave it from side to side to attract attention. When the current weakens, if you are able, first swim sideways parallel to the beach and then around and back to shore (not straight back against the current). When alcohol combines with driving or swimming, the risk increases. Drink responsibly, plan your partying and nominate a sober driver. Do not drive or pilot a boat drunk. – Deb.

The story of the Betts girls Mary Anne Gill looks at the life and times of a prominent Waipā family.
Theatre Trust Regent Theatre owner Allan Webb has told the News that while the new trust established to look after the cinema and on-site collection he plans to gift to the community has his name – the Allan Webb Theatre Trust – he will not be one of the five trustees, as the News reported on December 23. Detour in place State Highway 27 south of Matamata is being detoured until mid-April to allow for the completion of new stretches of road either side of a bridge being built over the Mangawhero Stream. The Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency is replacing the existing bridge and realigning a section of State Highway 27 about seven kilometres south of Matamata. Fire restrictions The Waikato fire District is now in a restricted fire season. The change came into force on Monday and covers Waipa, Ōtorohanga and Waitomo. A permit is now required to light an open-air fire. The website checkitsalright.nz explains the restrictions. Cricket chance The search is on for the next generation of female cricketing talent to join the ANZ Next XI. Eleven young women aged 12-18, will be selected from across New Zealand to join the ANZ Next XI. Applications and nominations for a place in the squad can be made at www. anz.co.nz
The Betts girls all had a life-time interest in rugby inherited from their father Arthur. Pictured from left were Bev Kay, Pam Eglinton and Joc Robertson in the Te Awamutu clubrooms in 2015.
Pam Eglinton, 88, may have moved from Kihikihi more than 60 years ago but still considers herself a ‘local’ girl. Pam is one of the three daughters born to dairy farmers Arthur and Phyllis Betts. Arthur was selector, coach and life member of Te Awamutu Rugby Union. Her older sister Beverley Kay QSM (Queen’s Service Medal) died two years ago and only days before her death had been honoured with a Volunteer Excellence Award for her long service with Red Cross in Te Awamutu. Younger sister Jocelyn Robertson maintains the family interest in rugby and was treasurer for the Te Awamutu Sub Union for many years. The Betts family moved from Hawera to Ngaroto Road, just outside Te Awamutu, in the 1930s and later to Orakau, east of Kihikihi. They all attended Te Awamutu Primary School with Bev going on to become head girl of Te Awamutu College. Pam went to Solway College, a girls’ boarding school in Masterton. It began a long involvement with the Wairarapa for her.
On trips home to Te Awamutu from boarding school, she and Bev played the piano for pre wedding gift evening dances held for local girls. Pam married Monty Eglinton in 1959 and the couple farmed in Pahiatua where they had four children, Scott, Todd, Kara and Kent. “I did laugh once when we were (all) home, the six of us were at the Commercial Hotel, Ross (Kay), Monty and Ash (Robertson) were at the bar getting us drinks,
a local accountant was there also and remarked ‘oh, it’s the Betts’ husbands.” Pam and Monty retired to Ōhope where she continued a life-time involvement with the National Party which saw her go on to become the electorate agent for Tony Ryall in Tauranga. In his valedictory speech in 2014, Ryall said employing Pam was one of the best decisions he ever made as she also became his mother-in-law when he married Kara.
Te Awamutu farming and rugby identities Arthur and Phyllis Betts.
Pam made the Waikato headlines about 10 years ago when she sold a bottle of Waikato Breweries Ltd special Britooloo beer, brewed in 1959 for the Waikato vs Lions games. While it reminded her of the great Waikato players of the 1950s, such as the Clarke brothers, Ponty Reid, Has Catley, Ron Hemi and Gordon Brunskill, the offer on Trade Me was too good to ignore but one she is reluctant to divulge. Monty died on 22 June 2014. Pam still lives in Ōhope defiantly dreaming of the day National returns to power. She retains close associations with sitting and former MPs, such as Ōhope neighbour and Tauranga City Council commissioner Anne Tolley. Asked about the constant change of leadership in National, Pam said she was confident the party had chosen the right man now in Christopher Luxon. Before Covid 19, she was a regular visitor home to Te Awamutu for family celebrations, something she is looking forward to continuing soon. And that is bound to include a drink in the Te Awamutu rugby clubrooms.

Local teen wins coveted award By Viv Posselt
Te Awamutu’s Abigail ‘Abi’ Lapthorn has won the 2021 Police Commissioner’s Challenge Coin through the Te Awamutu Boxing Academy. The academy, started in 2019 by Chris Graham under the umbrella of the Te Awamutu Youth Development Trust, is one of several across the country operated through the Billy Graham Youth Foundation (BGYF). Its 2021 prizegiving was held late last year. The coveted Police Commissioner’s Challenge
Coin is awarded for ‘demonstrating and role modelling the values’ of the academy and the New Zealand Police. Abi’s nomination for the coin was unanimous, said one of her coaches, Erinna Lane. “I have been coaching Abi since the start of 2020… she has been one of our most committed and consistent members,” Erinna said, adding that from the start she demonstrated a determination to uphold the values of the academy and to grow in her boxing abilities. Erinna said Abi deserved

the award as much for her commitment to her classes as to her proven ability as a great leader and mentor. “She has volunteered with our younger girls’ classes for the last year, and I have genuinely appreciated the way she gets beside these girls to cheer them on.” A delighted and ‘surprised’ Abi said she has enjoyed being at the academy since joining about two years ago. “I thought it would be fun to do it, and my great grandad used to do boxing,” she said. “This was the first ‘gym’ I have joined. I felt at home right from the start. It’s very much a values- oriented academy … it’s given me better all-round skills.” Abi left school at the end of last year. She’s planning to go to university in the second semester of the year, so for the time being will be coaching at the academy. Other awards given at the academy’s prize-giving were: Junior Boys: Lachie Lane (Most Improved), Hunter Te Huia-Crean (Most Promising), Kelly Mathews (Top Personality). Intermediate Boys: Noah Lane (Most Improved), Brodie Jacobsen (Most Promising), Daniel Le
Normand (Top Personality). Fundamental Girls: Jaedyn Stockman (Most Improved), Scianna Adaway (Most Promising), Jessica Symes (Top Personality). Junior Senior Girls: Eva Phillips (Most Improved), Jasmine Ikin (Most Promising), Abigail Lapthorn (Top
Personality). Senior Boys: Bailey Smith (Most Improved), Jack Livingstone (Most Promising), Francois Pienaar (Top Personality). Gym trophies went to Keira Spires (Hardest Trainer), Niklas Barrowcliffe (Toughest Little Goer in the Gym), Te Ariki Purua
(Champion of Resilience), Johan Jordaan (Outstanding Role Model), Raureti Ngaheu (Best Team Player), Blake Radford (Spark of the Gym), Bailey Smith (Billy Graham Youth Foundation, Heart of the Gym), and Abigail Lapthorn (Police Commissioners Medal).

The great outdoors
Having had the opportunity during our recent warm weather to experience on many occasions the new swimming complex in Cambridge, Council is to be congratulated on providing such a wonderful facility and for listening to the public for the retention of the outdoor pool. What the majority of Cambridge residents don’t need of course is to have the experience compromised by a few whose logic extends to believing they should be able to gain entrance to the complex without providing proof of a vaccination in the midst of the worldwide Covid pandemic. With many young children using the pool and others who also remain seriously susceptible to the new variant, the Council is to be congratulated also for again putting the interests of the majority of residents and ratepayers foremost in its mind. Omicron as we now know is more highly contagious than previous variants and is proving to be as dangerous, so any initiatives by our local government to limit its spread among the Cambridge community and the impact on our health services is arguably the only sensible course. Let’s hope that the enjoyment by people of all age groups including the many children using the facility is not put at risk by those who are seeking a review of the criteria for entry to this long-anticipated asset for the region. Alan Hayward Cambridge
Getting their skates on… Work to upgrade Te Awamutu’s skate park is expected to start in May. Concept plans involving a full refresh and upgrade of the existing skateparks in Centennial Park, Te Awamutu and Dominion Road, Cambridge were put to the public late last year. The next step will involve integrating community feedback into the concept plans before holding further drop-in sessions with the community, Waipā District Council’s Acting Community Services Manager Brad Ward said. “We’re committed to designing skate parks that are built for their users, so getting that key feedback will enable us to create spaces that maximise skate potential and an environment that users will enjoy. “The survey results were extremely impressive with 90 people providing their input. The feedback was largely positive about the skatepark concept plans and gave us an indication of what our community want to see at these facilities.” The common additions to
the skate park called for in the survey results included more features for beginners, kicker to landing boxes and aero gaps for more aerial tricks, and more transition and street features. “People also let us know they would like to see more seating, shade, rubbish bins, etiquette signage and water fountains.” The council has awarded the Play Spaces Development and Renewal Contract, which includes the two skate parks, to Fluhler Contracting Ltd and with Acid NZ. Fluhler Contracting and Acid Skate have already worked together on skate park renewals in Melville and Nawton, Hamilton. The Te Awamutu skate upgrade will link into other development work such as a parkour space and other play features. The renewal of the two facilities will pave the way for the development of new skate parks in Kihikihi and Pirongia. Community engagement will commence start once sites have been selected. The concept plans can be viewed at waipadc.govt.nz

FAITH IN WAIPĀ
We all need a loving father By Phil Strong, senior leader Zion
You may be saddened to hear that I lost my dad late in 2021. For two years Dad fought against the cancer that wanted to ravage his body, but in the end, he lost strength, function and, ultimately, breath. It was horrible watching the demise of my loving father; the man who raised me, the man I loved and admired, and a friend I will deeply miss. I get the feeling there are many readers who can relate to the void that comes from an absent father. What makes my recent loss easier to bear is the confidence I have in a God who is an always-present, loving Father. Perhaps you can, too? A loving father provides us with protection. When we are young, our father keeps us from danger. As we grow older, our father cannot keep us from danger, but is a reassuring presence as we learn how to face the challenges of life. Me, I seem to attract challenge. I am so grateful that my natural father and my heavenly Father have taught me how to make the most of these challenges, although I must admit to having some scars and stories from the journey. Psalm 46 says, “God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble”. A loving father provides us with resources and support that sustain us. As children, we have a safe place to live and sleep, food on the table and the means to enjoy life. When a father is absent some of these blessings are absent, but not always. A loving father teaches us to provide for ourselves as
we grow, how to use wisdom with our resources, and to plan for the future. We need the wisdom of a loving father who has insight we do not yet have. Jesus reminds us, “Look at the birds of the air: They do not sow or reap or gather into barns — and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?” Perhaps the most valuable blessing to come from a father is our identity. Traditionally, the father gives his new-born child their name as an everpresent statement of the character and nature of the child. A father develops purpose, meaning, and destiny into a child, which opens avenues into success and fulfilment. Sadly, in this age, fathers neglect this function, and we see many lost souls wandering through life without meaning or purpose. God, the eternal heavenly Father, said to Jeremiah and would say to you today, “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you; before you were born, I separated you for myself.” I believe God wants you to hear His words, “Before you were born, I chose you for a special work.” What makes life easier to bear is the confidence we can all have in the God who is an always-present, loving Father. Our connection to God as a loving Father can only come through Jesus, who came to lead us to God, our eternal Father. Connect with Jesus and He will connect you with your loving heavenly Father.

Reopening the northern entrance to the country’s largest ecological island on Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari will have huge economic benefits for the Waipā economy. It is already a significant domestic tourism attraction because of its ancient native forest, but visitor numbers have been impacted since the closure of the Hicks Road entrance in 2018 following a dispute with land owners. That side is the one closest to Lake Karāpiro which has thousands of visitors every year. Waipā mayor Jim Mylchreest, announced the northern entrance reopening on New Year’s Eve. He was chief executive of the Maungatautari Trust from 2002 to 2009 and helped raise more than $17 million required for the construction of 47kms of predator proof fence around 3400 ha of indigenous forest. Before the dispute, the first 850 metres of the walk from Hicks Road had been along a private driveway and across private farmland. “More people can enjoy this ancient ngahere in the heart of our district. Maungatautari is home to so many native flora and fauna and is a very special place to visit so I would encourage those who can, to do so,” said Mylchreest. Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari co-chair Poto Davies said the trust was privileged to be able to share the mauri and mana of the maunga.

The southern entrance at Tari Road, home to the Manu Tīoriori Visitor Centre, remained open during the three-year dispute. Maungatautari marketing manager Freeman Ehu said there had been a major surge in visitor numbers in the past few weeks. Quinn Dallinger, who has farmed since 2016 on a 225ha dry stock property below the mountain and next to the Hicks Road entrance, welcomed the announcement of the northern reopening.
He has been collaborating with the council and the trust to re-establish access and has overseen the establishment of a track on his property which follows the Wairakau Stream to the mountain. Meanwhile Cambridge Community Board member Mike Montgomerie, who has an adjoining 27ha bush block inside the pest proof fence, released four kiwi in the reserve before Christmas. He told the board a recent survey showed there were as many as 1200 kiwi on Maungatautari.

A new king Richard Former National League coach Richard Hudson has taken the reins at Te Awamutu. He will be unveiled on Sunday at the football club’s home at The Stadium. Hudson was at the helm of Manawatū United in 2000, the now former club’s first season in the topflight, and left at the end of a successful campaign to take up a post in Brisbane, Australia. There he coached for 20 years as high as National Premier League
level – a step down from the A -League. Hudson played central league football for Freyberg and Massey University has also coached Taupō and Kawerau and in England and the United States. His official title at Te Awamutu is Director of Coaching and Senior Club Coach. Hudson enjoyed success with Sunshine Coast FC before leaving the club in 2019 and he and wife Manuela returned to New
Zealand in December. He said he was looking forward to the new challenges and helping to develop the club. The club’s top team play in the WaiBop championship and struggled last season, winning five and drawing one of its 22 games – but it also blooded some promising talent. Hudson said after meeting the committee
THURSDAY JANUARY 13, 2022
and some members taking on the post was an easy decision for him to make. The club’s new committee has been planning for the season ahead Hudson will run a new school holiday programme in April, July and October 2022. He took a strong interest in youth football in Manawatū – more than 1000 players went through his Soccer Dynamics coaching programme.

On their bikes: Baiden Prescott and Molly Inia.
Molly Inia has return home from Cromwell with the number one ranking in the South Island 14-year-old girls BMX class. The Te Awamutu BMX club rider travelled with Baiden Prescott to compete against a total of 280 riders, and both impressed. Molly dominated her class, winning all seven of her races with ease. “The track was awesome, it was very smooth and flowy to ride on,” she reported. That gave her great pace all weekend and helped her to the best results of her young career. Baiden, at his first event as a competition rider, found things a lot tougher in the eightyear-old boys age group but fought hard in every race and eventually made his first
final. There he managed to weave around a fallen rider and race away to claim fifth place and bring home the South Island number five ranking. Baiden said he was very proud of himself and had learnt a lot of new things which he can’t wait to try at his next big event. “The TA BMX Club is very proud of Molly and Baiden’s results and hope this encourages more young kids to get out there on their bikes and enjoy the sport of BMX,” club spokesperson Rodney Prescott said. The club meets at the TABMX track at Castleton Park on Park Road every Monday from 5:30pm.

In 2022, parents and caregivers will be able to get their 5 to 11-year-olds immunised against COVID-19 Some tamariki get very ill from catching COVID-19 and immunisation is one of the best ways to protect them.
Safety of the COVID-19 vaccine
Immunisation is an important way we keep tamariki safe, like being sun smart or wearing a seatbelt.
The child (paediatric) Pfizer vaccine has gone through the same rigorous approval process as other routine childhood immunisations. No clinical trials were skipped and no corners were cut in the testing of its safety.
It protects your tamariki from many serious diseases and stops disease spreading within your whānau and the community. In Aotearoa, tamariki get free vaccinations against 12 diseases, including whooping cough (pertussis), measles and polio.
The Pfizer vaccine for 5 to 11-year-olds has been through clinical trials with children in this age group. In general, the side effects that were reported were mild, didn’t last long, and were similar to side effects from other routine immunisations.
Take time this summer to get the information and advice you need to make the best decision for your tamariki. Find out more at: Or call the COVID Vaccination Unite Against COVID-19 – Covid19.govt.nz/tamariki Ministry of Health – Health.govt.nz/CovidVaccineKids Healthline on 0800 28 29 26 Te Puni Kōkiri – Karawhiua.nz Ministry for Pacific Peoples – mpp.govt.nz

Surprise yourself. Next time you visit your local supermarket or deli browse the shelves with an eye for something different. There are always new temptations to try which will add interest to meals. I recently discovered black bean noodles. They’re 100 per cent plant based, have a low sugar content and are glutenfree. The thin spaghetti-like noodles cook in five to eight minutes. Slightly chewy and with a mild flavour, they marry well with hot sauces or cold dressings. Date syrup, one of the oldest sweeteners known, is again becoming popular. It is made by heating dates in water, puréeing them, straining, then evaporating the cooking water. The result is a thick dark brown liquid containing the vitamins and minerals from the dates. Use to flavour everything from chicken dishes to desserts. Date syrup BBQ-style chicken Vincotto translates as ‘cooked wine’ but is actually a reduction of unfermented fruit and skins of grapes or other BLACK BEAN NOODLE BOWL WITH PRAWNS tree fruit such as figs.
