INDEX

Monthly photography trips and learning new photography skills are two of Natasha Halliday’s favourite things about being part of the Te Awamutu Camera Club.

The 15-year-old Sacred Heart Girls College student joined the club in October last year and she is the youngest member by far with majority of the members well into their adult years.

“I joined the club because I wanted to learn more about photography to help me with my photography studies at school,” said Natasha.

“Everyone here at the club is so nice and welcoming so it is easy to fit in”.

When she joined the club, Natasha had never taken a photo before with a DSLR camera and she says the club didn’t judge her at all for having no experience.

Going to Muriwai with the camera club is one of Natasha’s favourite memories so far as she began to learn the skills of long exposure shooting while on this trip.

“The trips are really cool experiences.

Muriwai has been my favourite trip because while I was there, I learnt how to do things that I didn’t know like long exposure which is now my favourite type of shooting,” said Natasha.

Natasha, who has a Nikon 600 camera, also enjoys animal photography.

If there are young people in the community who are keen photographers Natasha says that they should join because there’s a lot of knowledge to be shared at the club.

“I think it would be interesting if younger people joined because then there would be more variety and everyone here just loves sharing so you can learn a lot,” said Natasha.

This year Natasha is hoping to learn more about how to edit photos and says she’s excited to learn from a few experts in the club.

When she’s not snapping pictures, Natasha is probably out on her roller skates.

Natasha took up artistic roller skating as a sport three years ago and will be going to the New Zealand Artistic Roller Sports Championships in New Plymouth in July.

Nothing is more frustrating for police than returning obviously stolen property to an offender because we can’t prove who the rightful owner is.

The easiest way to record serial numbers is to go on-line and go to snap.org.nz, where you can create and store an asset list of property serial numbers for free. This can be recorded online and forwarded to police if your property is taken.

Ōtorohanga local’s medical centre dream becomes a reality

By Caitlan Johnston

One local and one doctor’s dream to provide a new medical centre for the Ōtorohanga community officially became a reality on Saturday at the blessing ceremony of the new Ōtorohanga Medical that cost approximately $3.2 million.

Around 50 invited guests that were a part of the community project braved the cold and attended the 7am blessing that was led by Parone Gloyne. The facility will be open for business on Monday, June 17.

In 2017 Ōtorohanga local John Oliver and the director of Ōtorohanga Medical Dr Bob Le Quesne had a dream to build a fit for purpose medical facility that would improve the range of services available to the community and provide space for the increasing patient numbers.

“To be here today is a dream come true. This much needed project was a dream and now here we are and so many people have supported it and I am so incredibly grateful,” said John.

The community project became a reality when John and his wife Sarah donated $1 million to the Ōtorohanga Trust who owns the building.

More than 100 families also came onboard to fund the project including Ross Knutson who matched John’s donation. The

generosity has catapulted the trust towards becoming debt free.

“I feel very privileged to be leading the trust when this project came along, it’s going to be incredible in improving the health success for our community,” said Ōtorohanga Trust chairperson Kim Ingham.

The new facility that was designed by architect Peter Chibnall and built by Livingstone Building Ltd has two distinct wings with the west wing offering a modern space for general consult delivery, a pharmacy and Pathlab facilities.

The east wing has been conceived as a mini-emergency facility that has been constructed inside a precast concrete bunker that can withstand earthquakes and extreme weather exposure.

It will be used for triage, resuscitation, casualty, ultrasounds and x-ray services.

“The ability to house all these services under one roof makes the project an incredible improvement for the people who call Ōtorohanga and its surrounding districts home,” said Kim. One thing that stands out about the facility is the carving of Ngāti Hinewai. The medical centre sits on land that is Tangi Tahu Ngāti Hinewai and Ngāti Hinewai is said to look over the area.

The statue was carved by Daniel Ormsby who has been carving for twenty years and studied carving

at Te Wānanga o Aotearoa in Te Awamutu.

“I think this centre reflects the spirit of the community. It was a privilege to do the carving, but I also think that it is a responsibility,” said Daniel.

The doctors of Ōtorohanga Medical have welcomed the new facility with the belief that it will make it

more attractive for sourcing quality staff to the area as statistics reveal an ageing GP population and difficulty in attracting doctors to rural communities.

“They also believe that it will make a difference to have a facility that is able to meet the changes of medical services in the future,” said Kim.

Police out in force for Fieldays

Fieldays kicked off in a familiar fashion on Wednesday with traffic congestion and light rain welcoming the early morning visitors to the Mystery Creek site.

The four-day event still has two days left – running today (Friday), the busiest day of all, and 8am – 5pm tomorrow (Saturday).

Te Awamutu Community Constable Ryan Fleming said Waikato Police had a heightened presence at Fieldays this year following the Christchurch terror attacks.

“There’s way more numbers than there normally would this year, because of the events in Christchurch.

Elections – three mayors standing

By Sophie Iremonger

Three mayors in the Cambridge and Te Awamutu News readership area plan to stand for office again.

Nomination for the local body elections open in five weeks.

Waikato mayor Allan Sanson, Waipā mayor Jim Mylchreest and Ōtorohanga mayor Max Baxter have all confirmed they will be running.

The chair of the Waikato Regional Council, Alan Livingston, announced earlier this month that he would be standing down.

Te Awamutu’s community board chairperson Gary Derbyshire will also be running again saying that he has unfinished business to tend to such as being involved in the Te Arai Wai Discovery centre development.

“I’ve really enjoyed my first term back on the community board and I really enjoy local body politics on this level, it’s a good balance for me,” said Gary, who is also a real estate agent at LJ Hooker.

“I’ve got several projects that are still on the go that I want to see through,” said Gary.

The Cambridge Community Board chairman Mike Pettit was unsure at this stage whether he would stand again, saying it was a family decision yet to be made.

Tamahere and Matangi come under the Waikato District Council in the Tamahere Ward, which is currently represented

by Councillor Aksel Bech. He plans to stand for a second term.

All but three of the Waipā District’s elected representatives have confirmed their intention to run.

Councillor Sue Milner, also a member of the Cambridge Community Board, said she will only be running for the community board this year.

“I have enjoyed my time on Council but it takes up considerable hours, and it would be good to have new fresh faces – hopefully younger – sitting on the council,” she said.

Te Awamutu ward councillor Vern Wilson will also stand down this year, after nearly a decade on the council.

“I have enjoyed the last nine years and hope in some way it made a difference,” he said.

He ran for mayor in the 2016 elections, and still has the same

message he had then – listen, be honest and stand by your values.

“I strongly believe you must stand by your election promises, they are a pledge to the people that elected you.

At the end of the day it’s not a popularity competition in meetings and one person can make a difference, the last thing you need is a bunch of rubber stampers.”

It is not known whether or not Councillor Judy Bannon will stand.

Every other councillor and community board member has confirmed they will stand this year.

To date there has been no contender from within the Waipā council shaping as a rival for the sitting Mayor.

Jim Mylchreest ran against three candidates when he first stood in 2013. Since then the district’s population has grown by over 6000 to more than 53000.

“We’ve seen more growth in Waipā than there’s ever been,” said the mayor, who started working for council back in 1978 under the Waipā County Council, and then with Waipā District Council when it formed in 1989. He took a break in 2002 and headed the Maungatautari Ecological Island project before getting back into the game in 2013 and winning the job as mayor.

“Time flies when you’re having fun,” he said. “It’s a fantastic role. It is challenging … It’s a complex business, there are over 20 different streams of work within the organisation, whether it’s roading, drainage, storm water, health, planning, building inspections, there’s a mass of different activities that you’ve got to try and get your head around, and it’s quite a big business at a hundred million dollars a year … But it’s great, I’m really proud of how the district has grown.”

He said those thinking about running for office should have a thick skin and be prepared to deal with the regulations and red tape that come with the job.

“Some days you just shake your head and think, this is ridiculous, but you need to be able to keep at it.

“Whether you’re on the community board or a councillor or in the mayoralty it is a challenging role, but it’s very rewarding when you actually get things done.”

Time and commitment are a big aspect to the job as

Country festival among the grants More than $22,000 will be handed out in the lastest round of grants announced by Creative Communities Waipā.

Recipients include organisers of the Branded Te Awamutu Country Music Festival 2019 which will be staged in September.

The Creative Communities Scheme (CCS) is a fund supporting community arts initiatives that help grow and promote creativity in Waipā and around New Zealand.

The grants can cover materials for arts activities, workshops, venue and equipment hire, promotion of arts activities and more.

To qualify, a project must focus on at least one of the scheme’s three criteria - access and participation, diversity or young people.

A Te Awamutu country music festival, Māori weaving workshops and an art exhibition are among the 15 successful applicants in the April round.

Two funding rounds are announced each year in April and September.

One successful applicant, the Cambridge Society of Arts, received funding towards a watercolour workshop and a mixed media workshop which will be open to people interested in improving their skills in painting.

Society treasurer Ineke Zegwaard said the funding made it possible to attract quality

tutors for their workshops while still keeping it affordable for students.

“The Cambridge Society of Arts is a lively group of people who meet at the Painting Place in Thornton Road to paint, have workshops and exhibitions. Creative Community grants help enormously with the funding.”

A list of all recipients of the April 2019 round of funding can be found on waipadc. govt.nz/creativecommunities.

The festival is in its third year and promoted by organiser Keith Willis, who boast 40 years’ experience in the music industry.

Te Awamutu’s venue will be the Sport and Recreation Club.

Artists confirmed to appear include Craig Adams, Dennis August, Donna Saunders, Annette and Kim, En-Tranzet, Doug Erutoe, Donna Dean, Renee Strawbridge and Keinan Ngapo.

Claire’s talking

Claire Roigard, from Te Awamutu i-SITE, will discuss the selection of short stay national holidays when she speaks at the first of a new monthly Coffee Catch-Up session for seniors at Cambridge’s Absolute Coffee House on Monday. The hour long gathering will start at 3pm.

mayor, he said, and having a supportive partner is absolutely important.

“I’m really lucky that Robyn (wife of 32 years) is supportive and comes to as many functions as she can.”

Councillors generally don’t have to attend weeknight and weekend commitments like the mayor does, making that side more suitable for those Mayor Jim Mylchreest with young families, he said.

He hopes to see all ages and ethnicities run in the election, to reflect the diverse population of Waipa.

“It’s good to get some fresh faces, and to have some continuity as well (in keeping some of the existing Councillors).

“My advice for those wanting to run would be, don’t come into it thinking you can reduce rates overnight. People might promise they’re going to cut rates, but because so much of what we do is necessary work, it’s not something that’s really possible, and to actually have a district that’s so attractive as well.”

Looking back on his two terms, he said the most important achievement for Council was the upgrades in infrastructure across the district. More noticeable to the public would be the Cambridge Pool project for Cambridge, and the Te Ara Wai discovery centre planned for Te Awamutu.

He hopes to improve wellbeing in Waipā, in part through improved social and pensioner housing.

His most important message of all was to encourage voters to make their voice count.

“Make sure you find out about your candidates, and take the opportunity to get out there and vote. When everything’s going well, you tend to forget the council’s actually here, but it doesn’t happen by accident, you need to elect good people for the council.”

Nominations will be open from July 19 to August 16.

Reducing speed limits on Waipā roads S

By Caitlan Johnston

Te Awamutu Community Board chairperson Gary Derbyshire says that Waipā is overdue for a comprehensive speed limit review and he believes our local speed limits are often inappropriate for the environment.

These comments come as a result of evidence collected from the New Zealand Transport Agency’s Mega Maps showing that 87 per cent of speed limits on major roads are too high, only 5 per cent of open roads should be 100kph and many 50kph urban roads should also be reduced.

Mega Maps goes on to suggest a safe and appropriate speed of between 60km/h and 80 km/h would apply to most stretches of open road, but Derbyshire believes that there are other factors to consider instead of just applying a blanket effect.

“While I support lowering the speed limit in many areas, I would caution about being too restrictive and I believe that inappropriate speed limits alone are not the primary cause of road crashes,” says Derbyshire.

Time of the day, day of the

week and location are all things he believes should be taken into consideration when discussing lowering speed limits.

“For example, reducing the limit to 40kph in Rewi Street from Alexandra Street to well beyond Princess Street makes no sense when you drive along this stretch of road at 10pm at night,” said Derbyshire.

According to Google Maps the travel time between Te Awamutu and Cambridge is 22 minutes to each of the town’s centre, this is over 24km. If the speed limit on this stretch was reduced to 80kph your travel time would increase by nearly four minutes and at 60kph it would increase by nearly 10 minutes.

On our roads that have higher speed limits between 70kph and 100kph Derbyshire say’s that several things aren’t being considered such as growing residential developments, pedestrian presences, blind corner speed recommendations and limited visibility, stock on our rural roads and road engineering.

He especially believes that the 70kmp area on Cambridge Road heading out of Te Awamutu is

severely inappropriate given the number of residential dwellings on the road.

Waipā Councils Road Corridor Manager Bryan Hudson says that reducing the speed limits in the area would be a positive thing and that it is something the council is considering doing to over 200 local roads to make them safer.

“The Mega Maps data comes as no surprise as we know that the historic 50, 70 and 100 kph limits are a very broad guide to suitable speeds,” said Hudson.

“On average, two people die, 91 are injured and 18 are seriously injured on Waipā roads”.

Earlier this year the council consulted on Waipā’s speed limits bylaws to lower the speeds on local roads that were deemed most at risk and public submissions have been considered.

A final decision will be made later this month and reducing speed limits on more roads will be considered again next year.

Given the revelations from the New Zealand Transport Agency and their Mega Maps data the Government is now looking at the agency’s work as part of a larger transport safety strategy.

Community board chairperson Gary Derbyshire picture on Cambridge Road where he believes the speed limit should be reduced.

From poverty to professional Steven Heke was a solo father living below the poverty line and paying maximum rent with minimal income when he told his daughter he was considering tertiary study.

Life, he says, was a “massive struggle” and something had to change.

“I was on the DPB for many years.

Eating two minute noodles and making our own furniture was a reality for us and I never thought I’d get out of intergenerational poverty.”

His daughter was dubious about his planned study but was convinced when he opened their nearly bare cupboards.

“I said ‘you see those two packets of noodles? It (studying) means there will be four packets of noodles’.”

After initially considering entering the security industry, Steven remembered a stint 20 years ago, when he would travel to different marae with friends and teach Te Reo Māori in an unofficial capacity.

He also remembered the male role models he had as teachers, the likes of George Pōmana, Sean Ogden,

“I didn’t realise the impact and Ruka Broughton.

So Steven enrolled in the three-year that colonial history had on this area and Bachelor of Education in Primary how signifcant it was. I thought about Teaching programme at Te Wānanga o how I as a teacher can help – even in Aotearoa and believes it was the best small ways - through the revitalisation of tikanga and te reo Māori.” option.

“I realised how significant events like “I chose Te Wānanga o Aotearoa because it’s Māori and to go through a Ōrākau were, and it feels good to be here Māori institution was more prestigious. It and with me knowing the history, I can was my kaupapa (purpose) - to reach out contribute.”

Steven has also made it his mission to our kids.”

He says the studying was intense but he to contribute to turning around poor worked hard at it and now he’s reaping education statistics for young Māori boys and says his new role will help him do the benefits.

“I took it pretty seriously and if you that.

“It’s a cool position to be in to be a role check out my academic record, it was pretty good,” he says. model for them and to be uplifting them “It changed my life, I took responsibility as Māori.”

He says the last three years of study has for a lot of other things too – I now felt I was responsible to my community and completely changed their lives.

“We were literally on the bones of our my hapū and iwi too.”

After graduating in 2018, Steven returned bums, and I never thought I’d get out “home” to his Ngāti Apakura roots and of intergenerational poverty.

Shop for sale – who will fillet?

By Caitlan Johnston

Everyone knows that Radar (Peter) Lunjevich is single handily responsible for providing some of the best fish ‘n’ chips in the area from his corner takeaway shop on Kihikihi’s main street. You might want to make sure go and get your fix though as he is selling up.

Radar’s Fish Shop has been on the market with LJ Hooker Te Awamutu for nearly a year now and while some of his regulars are happy that he’s still there, Radar is itching to get out and say’s if it could be sold “yesterday” then that’d be ideal.

“I thought someone would just snap it up but we’re still here and all my customers are pleased about that,” said Radar.

The 62-year-old has decided to hand the keys over so that he can spend more time with his grandson Nixon who is four years old. The shop has become too time consuming for Radar and he often misses Nixon playing rugby on Thursday nights.

“It’s got a lot to do with me wanting my weekends back, my grandson has just started to play sport and I always miss it,” said Radar.

“I’ll definitely be sad to leave but it can’t just be about the shop anymore, you know I am getting a bit old”.

Radar has lived in the Kihikihi

area for 36 years with his wife Vicki and he took over the shop in 2012. Before taking on the shop he used to do farming until he injured himself and could no longer carry out his duties.

To save himself from boredom he went onto help at Hamilton Seafood on Kahikatea Drive. When that shop closed, he was given all the fittings and tools that would allow him to run his own fish ‘n’ chips shop, so that’s what he did.

When the shop eventually sells, Radar hopes that whoever buys it will keep it as a fish ‘n’ chip shop and says the buyer will get most of the fittings that are in the store already.

“I’ve been here for 36 years and this shop has always been my fishy even before I bought it. I hope whoever does buy it will keep it as a fish ‘n’ chip shop and even perhaps hire me,” said Radar.

“I can still cut fish, but not on the weekends and I won’t be doing late nights either”.

The one thing he says he will miss the most is the customers.

He had customers he’d known since they were children and customers who would stop into the shop every Easter when they were passing through while on holiday.

“I’m going to miss the people, I used to coach kid’s rugby and now they all of them bring their kids in to get food, I guess there’s a lot of history here for me,” said Radar.

Radar has owned the fish shop since 2012 and says he is itching to sell.

Toni pumps up the volume

Toni Naera is what you would call Te Awamutu to the core.

So, when she was recently reappointed as a Life Unlimited hearing therapist, one of the first places she thought she could make a difference in was her own home town.

Toni was born in Te Awamutu, attended Pekerau Primary, Te Awamutu Intermediate and Te Awamutu College. She still lives in the town, is married to Tony, mother to four children Renee, Daniel, Hannah and Rico and grandmother to seven ranging in age from three months to 12 years old.

She has worked in the health and disability sector since the 1990s in such jobs as the deinstitutionalisation of Tokanui Hospital in 1995 and then with Community Residential Services.

She joined Life Unlimited in 2003 as a trainee hearing therapist, one of only a few Māori therapists at the time. For eight years, until a couple of months ago, she worked in other areas of Life Unlimited Charitable Trust.

The pull of being involved in hearing therapy was like a magnet.

“I have always been a people person and I really enjoy using all the skills learned to take a holistic approach when assisting individuals or family/whanau living with hearing loss to gain more skills,” said Toni.

“For example, many people invest in hearing aids, struggle with them, put them in the drawer and go without. It’s an error - not least because they miss out, but also because when they do pull them out of the draw it’s possible their hearing will have worsened, so the aids won’t be doing the best job.

“With hearing aids, the brain has to be retrained to understand what noises are important and what are not. It can take time.

If the hearing aids have been left unused for two or three years, we must start from scratch - but it doesn’t necessarily mean new hearing aids,” says Toni.

Life Unlimited Hearing Therapy runs free hearing aid management skills programmes and are willing to come and meet groups of people to talk about finding ways to overcome hearing issues or even identifying if there is a problem.

“Many people with hearing loss are oblivious to it.

“There are common indicators – being told the television is far too loud is a primary one.”

Toni makes use of a device to amplify sound for clients and many are shocked at what they are missing out on.

“As a hearing therapist it is all about offering support to the client and family and educating on the needs of the client to be able to communicate more effectively.

“Many go through life unaware of what they are missing out on – but for others with more severe hearing loss the inability to join in conversations can be isolating and depressing.”

An estimated 880,000 New Zealanders – one in six people – have a hearing loss including about 300,000 people in the working age group of 20 to 65 years. New research underlines the importance of having hearing checks as they show a correlation between dementia and hearing loss.

The service provided by Life Unlimited, and funded by the Ministry of Health, is independent and includes free hearing assessments, information, hearing screening and support for New Zealand citizens and permanent residents aged 16 years and over.

The service does not involve selling hearing

aids.

Tinnitus, or ringing in the ear, can be aggravated by stress, caffeine and alcohol.

“Hearing loss can lead to communication breakdown and result in frustration and isolation,” Toni said. “I work with people to reduce that impact, so they can live well with hearing loss.”

That support includes providing information on effective communication strategies and listening devices. Amplified telephones, smoke alarms, television management and personal listening devices could provide additional tools to – or be a possible alternative for – hearing aids for some people.

Life Unlimited hearing therapists also advise on funding criteria and are credentialed assessors on behalf of the Ministry of Health for hearing assistive technology systems, devices that help people with hearing difficulties to communicate with others.

Toni also helps clients with lip reading and will even talk to their work colleagues to help them understand the impact of hearing loss.

Her region covers the Waikato District Health Board area and the free service extends to having Toni speak to community groups. She can be reached via Life Unlimited’s freephone number, 0800 008 011.

Save the date call for garden festival

By Viv Posselt Preparations for one of Waipā’s premier garden festivals are well underway.

This year’s Cambridge Garden Festival, a charitable event, is set down for November 24.

Twelve gardens will be on show this time around, with two of them coming on board for the first time as ‘Art in the Garden’ exhibitors.

The festival launched in 2018 as a major Rotary Cambridge fundraiser. Last November’s inaugural event saw over 1000 people visit 10 gardens and raise around $30,000 for three charities – Victim Support, the Rotary Club of Cambridge Charitable Trust and the Cambridge Community

House.

Project leader and Rotarian Carey Church said proceeds from this year’s festival will also go to charity, while several minor tweaks to other aspects of the event are being made in response to feedback from last year’s visitors.

“We are planning to have refreshments available at four or more gardens this year, and there will be lots of plants for sale,” she said. “In addition, two ‘Art in the Garden’ gardens will have art for sale, and most of the properties will be wheelchair accessible.”

Carey said new sponsors who had expressed an interest in coming on board would join some of last year’s sponsors returning to the festival in 2019.

Tickets will go on sale from August 16.

Magic finds a home Storms prompt in Te Awamutu calls to council

By Viv Posselt

The Te Awamutu-based Waipa Community Facilities Trust has earned high praise from Waikato Bay of Plenty Magic chief executive Rohan West for helping the premier netball team find a permanent training home at the Te Awamutu Events Centre.

“Last year, we used eight different training venues for Magic. That is not a highperformance strategy. The help we’ve been given in finding a base in Te Awamutu has been a real godsend to us. I think of it as one of our biggest wins this year,” Rohan said.

“After 20 years, we know the value of being able to go to one place … and apart from anything else, it has helped reduce injuries this season.”

Waipa Community Facilities Trust (WCFT) chairman Merv Gyde said Magic had been offered the use of the Te Awamutu Events Centre from the start of this season in late 2018. “The arrangement is that they are able to utilise the facility for free but are expected to give something back to the community, and that includes having open sessions when appropriate, offering training to local schools and in the community. The Trust believes it is important for superstars like the Magic to be seen in our town.”

The WCFT was appointed by the Waipa District Council to undertake the administration of leisure facilities in the district.

Rohan’s remarks backed up earlier comments from Waikato BOP Magic Coach Amigene Metcalfe. Both were speaking at

a Rotorua Chamber of Commerce meeting in Rotorua earlier this month, where Magic leaders and players spoke on the topic of the synergies between sport and business.

Amigene said finding a home base in Te Awamutu had been a highlight for the team so far in 2019; the team trains there three times a week.

“The centre provides us space to train, there are rooms in which we can meet and do video analysis of our games, there is a pool, a gym … and it’s a cool community to be part of. Finally, we have a place to call home. In previous years we have had to take whatever gym bookings we could get or use other facilities, but we haven’t taken priority.”

Rohan said Magic players were contractually obliged to give 30 hours of community engagement under the arrangement, but most regularly did more.

Giving back to the community was an important part of the mindset and ethos that made up the team culture, he said.

Amigene, Rohan and Magic player Samantha Sinclair spoke about developing a collective culture and vision, and how that might translate to lessons sport could pass on to the business community.

“There is a range of things that cross over – objective setting, building a strong team culture, integrating new members into the team, and building resilience,” said Rohan. “All of those things are part of the business environment. A business not doing those things is setting themselves up for not achieving their objectives.”

Delighted to have found a base in Te Awamutu are Waikato Bay of Plenty Magic player Samantha Sinclair, CEO Rohan West and coach Amigene Metcalfe.

Heavy rainfall over the past week has resulted in flooding.

By Sophie Iremonger Wild weather around the Waipā district left residents and council workers cleaning up, clearing blockages and dealing with minor flooding caused by a combination of leaf fall and rain fall.

Last week Waipā District Council received 18 calls relating to storms – three about catchpits (storm water drains) blocked by leaves, three about catchpits flooding, four regarding flooding over the road from heavy rain, six regarding leaves blocking water flow in roadside gutters, and two regarding downed trees.

Council’s road corridor manager Bryan Hudson advised residents to let Council know about any blocked street catchpits, “so we can get it sorted before it’s a bigger issue”.

He also encouraged residents to make regular check of gutters, downpipes and stormwater grates on their own properties if leaves were a problem.

From early May to late July Council provides a weekly collection service in specific streets where trees on council land shed a lot of leaves.

Workers on Council’s regular street cleaning programme also work year-round

to keep gutters and catch pits free flowing and functional, and check and monitor flooding hot spots before and during bad weather. Other road maintenance contractors inspect the roads during and after bad weather events and address any issues such as clearing flooding and downed trees.

Leaf fall in Waipā is different each year.

When the cold snap comes early, most leaves fall over a period of several weeks.

“Other years they trickle down over a few months and in large amounts when the weather is wet and windy - which is what we’ve seen this year,” Hudson explained.

“It’s difficult for our contractor to remove these large amounts all at once, especially when the weather is bad.”

He recommended residents keep an eye on leaves building up in their own properties and let them know about any issues on Council land.

He said residents should avoid leaving any items including rubbish bags, leaf collection piles and lawn clippings in or near the kerbside gutters.

Oak tree leaves, meanwhile, made great compost and mulch.

“Use this around your gardens and shrubs which helps keep weeds down, provides nutrients, warms the soil and retains moisture.”

Mud, glorious mud!

By Caitlan Johnston

Primary school students from Te Awamutu Primary, St Patricks Catholic School and Pirongia School put down the books to run in the mud at the 2019 Junior Tough Guy and Gal competition in Ngaruawahia.

The 2019 Junior Tough Guy and Gal is a nationwide event and the Waikato section was staged at the Ngaruawahia Christian Camp over three days from June 5.

Te Awamutu Primary took 52 students to the Friday session of the non-competitive event and teacher in charge Vanessa Filer said that they all ran across the finish line smiling.

“Some anxiety works up in the kids before the race and they do find it hard because the mud is exhausting but once they are done, they are all just smiling,” she said.

Year 3 and 4 students completed a 1.5km course while the Year 5 and 6 students managed twice that distance.

Year 7 and 8 students from St Patricks also participated at the event on Wednesday and had their entry costs covered by Timmo’s ITM in Te Awamutu.

Year 8 student Annabelle Fielder said the rain on the day made the challenge more fun and that it was great to get out of the classroom with her peers.

“It was a great day to spend with your friends supporting each other at a different level from how you would in the classroom,” said Annabelle.

Over 60 Pirongia School students also took part in the competition on Wednesday and teacher Kylie Parker said that most students were excited to get in the mud while some were a bit nervous to be giving it a go for the first time.

“Lots of comradery and fun was had along the course and it was great to see the muddy smiles as they crossed the finish Senu Wijamunige. line,” she said.

Reserve spot for Osborne

By Caitlan Johnston

A rower who grew up just south of Kihikihi has made the New Zealand Rowing Team again this year but this year she will be doing something a bit different.

In 2017 and 2018 25-yearold Hannah Osborne made the New Zealand Rowing Team’s Elite women’s sculling squad, taking the single seat and placing eighth at World Rowing Cup’s for both of those years.

This year Hannah, who also rows for Te Awamutu Rowing Club, decided to trial for the women’s double scull but was selected for the women’s reserve double scull instead.

“I was going to participate in a trial for the single scull again but Emma Twigg had come back and she was beating me the whole season so I decided to put my energy into making the women’s double,” said Hannah.

Getting sick right around the time of trials threw Hannah off and landed her in the reserve boat.

“My goal was to make the women’s double but going into trials I got sick and my performance just wasn’t there when it mattered the most.”

Despite the disappointment of not making the boat she was

Hannah Osborne says this year has been a bit different and she has ended up in the reserve doubles instead of the single scull.

aiming for she says she is impressed that she and her partner Sam Voss are getting closer to the time of Brooke Donoghue and Olivia Loe who were selected for the Women’s Heavy Weight Double scull.

Together Brooke and Olivia won the 2017 World Rowing Cup and in 2018 they came second.

“We’re using them as a training gauge and given their records, being able to train with them is an advantage and we’re getting closer and closer to them,” said Hannah.

Hannah heads off overseas with the rest of the 51 strong team in June. She and Sam will first compete at the World Rowing Cup in Poland in the reserves race before heading to the United Kingdom to compete at the

Henley Royal Regatta.

In between the regatta and the World Rowing Championships, the team will be going to several training camps including one in Slovenia and Belgium.

The World Rowing Championships are in Austria this year and it runs from August 25 to September 1 and if for some reason Brooke or Olivia can’t compete then Hannah and Sam will jump in.

Upon returning home from the World Rowing Championships Hannah will have her sights set on making it to the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.

“My goal is to be in a boat competing at the Olympics next year and then I also want to make the 2024 Olympics in Paris and make the podium there.”

FRIDAY JUNE 14, 2019

Our Rachael’s starring State-side Te Awamutu dirt bike racer Rachael Archer is fast making a name for herself internationally.

The 17-year-old who grew up at Ngaroma has long been a frontrunner, even against the men, on the cross-country scene in New Zealand and now she’s excelling on a much larger stage.

She is running fourth overall after seven of 13 rounds in her first full season contesting the Grand National Cross-country Championships (GNCC) in the United States, an internationallyrenowned series with races scheduled all along the east coast of the US, from New York to Florida.

She took her Yamaha YZ250F to finish the day third overall in the WXC (women’s cross-country) class at the “Tomahawk GNCC” event at Odessa, north-west of New York city, just over a week ago, crossing the finish line behind leading US riders Tayla Jones and Becca Sheets.

“I got off to an average start, but put my head down and got to work, picking my way through the pack. I eventually caught up to (Australian rider) Mackenzie Tricker by the end of lap one.

“It was from here on in that Mackenzie and I battled it out for third, up until the last lap, when

I was able to pull away and take third place for myself.”

That result, coupled with her 8-5-4-4-3-3 score-card from the previous six rounds, has positioned the intrepid Kiwi fourth overall for the championship, behind Jones, Sheets and Tricker.

“The biggest thing I’ve had to adapt to racing over here in America is racing with several hundred people and having to predict not only your own line, but anticipating what line the person ahead of you is going to take, so you can pass quickly and safely.

“I’ve learnt to find lines that other people can’t see or won’t take, and which definitely enhances my lap times and saves energy.

“I’m really happy with the progress I’m making and my focus is getting a championship in my first season, which is definitely on the cards if I keep going the way I have been.”

Based in South Carolina, Archer races for the AmPro Yamaha Team, a factory team run by American cross-country legend Randy Hawkins.

“I have two mechanics that share the work between my enduro bike and my other GNCC bike. I do the work to maintain my practice bike.

When I’m out racing, there are at least four people in my support crew, pointing lines, giving water

bottles, etc. They communicate via headsets and, if there’s an issue, it can be attended to ASAP, which is really awesome for me,” said Archer.

“It feels a bit surreal to think that just five and half months ago I was fresh out of school and an underdog coming into the GNCC series.

“Now I feel right at home racing

and I know what to expect and what I’m capable of.

“I have two more GNCC races and two enduro nationals events to race before summer break, where I can go home during the month of August.

“Then I’ll be back to race the last four GNCCs and four enduro rounds. It will all be wrapped up by the beginning of November

Street View: QUESTION: Should speed limits in the area be reduced and why?

Eryne Dekker I reckon the 50kph zones in town should definitely be reduced because you get people parking in random spots and pulling out and it’s not safe.

Max Palmer No, I don’t think they need to be reduced and I think more crashes are caused because of people getting frustrated with slow drivers.

Norris Hall Yes, and especially around schools because kids have a habit of not looking and running, basically it’s a safety thing and it’s always so busy around schools with drop offs and buses.

Mary Archer Yes, in town I think so because you never know what a kid will do and to make town safer. Rural roads depend on the area, in not so much for reducing the speed limits on these roads. Outside a rural school need to be reduced though.

David Mclean Not necessarily but in some areas like around schools it’s a good idea but I don’t think dropping them all is a great idea and I think it depends on the location of the road.

Great start for Igraine

Igraine has proven to be an astute purchase for Brent and Cherry Taylor of Trelawney Stud.

The Taylor’s purchased the Galileo mare as a broodmare proposition for 65,000 Guineas in England through bloodstock agent Paul Moroney and she has quickly added to her value under the care of Robert Priscott.

Igraine has won four of her 11 starts for the Te Awamutu trainer, including the Gr.3 Counties Cup (2100m) in November, and has also finished runner-up in the Gr.3 Waikato Cup (2400m) and Listed Hawke’s Bay Cup (2200m).

Recently the six-year-old mare finished third in the Gr.3 Premier’s Cup (2200m) at Eagle Farm.

“She has done really well over here. She’s one of the better ones I have taken away,” Priscott said.

“She has done everything right here. A little bit of experience in England, coming through quarantine, has paid off. She has been very good.”

While originally aiming towards a Sydney campaign with his mare, Priscott said those plans were shelved after Igraine tailed the field home in a 1400m race at Hastings in February.

“We originally thought we were going to go to Sydney, but she didn’t fire in the sprint at Hastings, so we backed off her and targeted her towards here,” he said.

Priscott was hoping for some rainfall before Saturday’s race in the Gr.2 Brisbane Cup (2400m) at Eagle Farm, where Igraine jumped from barrier 12 with jockey Ron Stewart aboard.

“A little bit of rain would help a lot,” he said. “She has been on firm tracks, which doesn’t seem to make much difference to her, but she has shown a preference for rainaffected tracks.

“Hopefully she can get a bit of cover, but her draw doesn’t lend that way. She will have to go forward and maybe end up in front again, but ideally a bit of cover would be great.”

TAB bookmakers marked Igraine as a $13 winning chance in the Brisbane Cup behind $3.80 race favourite Sixties Groove.

She finished 12th with a time of 2:30.74.

Te Awamutu-trained racehorse Igraine has proven her worth under new owners Brent and Cherry Taylor at Trelawney Stud.

Official opening for Pirongia playground Pirongia’s new playground will officially open on Sunday 16 June.

Waipā District Council is inviting Pirongia residents to be the first to try the new play equipment at Rangimarie Reserve with a celebration in the park.

The Sunday the event will kick off at 11am with an official ribbon cutting and short speeches, followed by music, a fundraiser sausage sizzle by Pirongia Scouts and free facepainting. A local coffee cart will also attend with festivities officially ending at 2pm.

Community services manager Sally Sheedy hopes families will pack a picnic and enjoy an afternoon in the park.

“We’re excited for this playground to be finished for the Pirongia community. It really has been a joint effort, both in fundraising and design, and it’s great to come together to celebrate everyone’s hard work.”

Ms Sheedy said the playground design was a collaboration of ideas from community groups and Council contractors. The new play space includes swings, slides, balance beams and climbing equipment and is partially fenced. The project was jointly funded by Council and the Pirongia community.

“This is a great example of the community and Council working together to achieve the best result for everyone.”

The playground is one of several changes planned for Pirongia including path upgrades and new public toilets to replace the existing ones.

Ms Sheedy said depending on weather, the playground may be finished earlier than mid-June. If so, it will be available for use but the official celebration date will remain the same.

Date: Sunday 16 June. Time: 11am - 2pm. Location: Rangimarie Reserve, Crozier Street, Pirongia

Movies…

Things to do this weekend Saturday is an exciting day at Fieldays as the event raps up at Mystery Creek Events Centre. Catch the tractor pull finals, the Stihl timbersports New Zealand Championships, watch Simon Gault cook up a storm in the Kitchen Theatre or simply go and check out over 1000 exhibitors that will be on site.

Head along to the Redoubt Bar and Eatery on Saturday night where energetic covers band Anthill Mob will be playing from 9pm. While you’re there make sure you grab a drink and test out the eaterie’s new menu they launched last week.

Go visit the iconic Ōtorohanga Kiwi House & Native Bird Park this weekend to see our national bird. Try and see if you can spot the three types of kiwi birds they have which are the brown kiwi, great spotted kiwi and the little spotted kiwi.

In his latest documentary two time academy award-winning director Ron Howard celebrates the life of the beloved opera star Luciano Pavarotti, who sold over 100 million records in his lifetime. Ron Howard takes an intimate approach in telling Pavarotti’s story, going beyond the iconic public figure to reveal the man himself.

Thanks to a partnership with Decca Records and through unique access to the Pavarotti family archives, home videos, behind the scenes footage and extensive live music footage, we see Pavarotti’s personal story emerge: from his humble beginnings in Northern Italy through to global superstardom. We travel the world with Pavarotti. We get to know the great tenor as a husband and father, a committed philanthropist, as well as a fragile artist who had a complex relationship with his own unique talents and unprecedented success.

Rose-Lynn Harlan is bursting with raw talent, charisma and cheek. Fresh out of prison and reunited with her son and daughter, all she wants is to get out of Glasgow and make it as a country singer in Nashville. Rose's mother Marion, on the other hand, has had a bellyful of her worthless nonsense. Forced to take strict responsibility, Rose gets a cleaning job, only to find an unlikely champion in the middle-class lady of the house. The whole story Is excellently portrayed. It has ups and downs and doesn't shy away from challenging issues nor glorify them.

Buckley excels both vocally and portraying the problems of so many in similar positions. Julie Walters alongside Buckley was perfect also.

Although their greatness on set did outshine most of the supporting cast this did not take too much away. A feel good romp of a film.
