Letters to the editor

Brickbat… and bouquet It is unfortunate that the first letter to the editor of your new publication was an unpleasantly negative one. I don’t think either of our two local papers are “useless”, as your correspondent suggests, nor, as he also suggests, is there “no new news in your paper that is not better covered elsewhere locally”. Both local newspapers are certainly very good little publications and they provide plenty of local news that our community can’t get anywhere else. They are both good value.

And so is your new Te Awamutu News, with its different stories. There’s plenty of room and plenty of news for all of the publications, and competition will keep you on your toes and provide your customers and readers with good service because of it. Besides, another little business in Te Awamutu means another three, four, half a dozen more jobs in the town; and perhaps three, four, half a dozen more potential customers for your correspondent’s two businesses. So good on you for giving it a go, and I wish you every success.

Kingsley Field, Te Awamutu Letter response I am writing this in response to Martin Langridge’s letter this week. Firstly, I am fascinated that someone would actually take the time in their day to compose such a negative tirade. Secondly, I am so proud to live in Te Awamutu and support all new businesses and people who want to add to the wonderful spirit in our town. I wonder if Mr Langridge remembers what it was like when he started his businesses...how would he have felt if someone poured negativity all over his new enterprise instead of encouragement and support?

My mother always taught me “If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.” So that’s all I have to say.

Bronwyn Bulwer Te Awamutu Inspired by Stephen I would just like to say how inspiring your story on Steven Heke was (Te Awamutu News June 14). He was so open and honest, well done on reporting such a success story from Te Awamutu. We are so lucky to live a really great town and he proves we have education and employment options to enable people to prosper and thrive.

Last day for exhibit

Whakapuāwai, the latest exhibition at the Marie Panapa Gallery at the Apakura Campus in Te Awamutu completes it season today.

The continuing commitment of Te Wānanga o Aotearoa supporting Toi Māori (Māori art) is a key kaupapa underpinning the exhibition, which showcases work by more than a dozen recent graduates of the Toi Paematua (diploma) and Maunga Kura Toi (degree) programmes in whakairo, raranga and rauangi.

“This exhibition reminds us of our

continued commitment towards supporting the revitalisation and growth of Toi Māori in Aotearoa,” says Apakura-based Poutiaki Toi, Aisha Roberts.

“At the exhibition both customary and contemporary techniques and ideas combine to present works of art from around the motu inspired by Te Ao Māori.”

“These artists on display will join the legacy of Toi graduates that Te Wānanga o Aotearoa has fostered for more than 30 years, a legacy that continues to flourish today.”

Whakapuāwai has been at the Apakura Campus in Te Awamutu.

Learn to weave these school holidays

By Caitlan Johnston

These July school holidays the Te Awamutu Museum will be celebrating Matariki by hosting unique weaving workshops that will be led by artist Oriwa Morgan-Ward and held in support of the museum’s exhibition Whatu Manawa.

Waipa District Council’s Museums and Heritage director Anne Blyth says that the museum is very excited to deliver these workshops.

“The workshops provide a fabulous opportunity for our community to celebrate Matariki through the art of raranga and whatu, two uniquely exquisite traditional weaving techniques,” said Anne.

The first week of the Raranga weaving workshops will be suitable for children of

all ages where they will get to learn basic weaving techniques. Each day will be different, week one’s first workshop on the Tuesday will be Manu tukutuku which is kite making. Wednesday will be Ngā Whetu which is weaving stars and Thursday will be Ngā Putiputi which is weaving flowers.

Each of the workshops run from 12.303pm and costs $2.

The second week of workshops will run on Tuesday and Thursday and will be Kakahu which is weaving small cloaks.

These workshops are more advance and are suited to those over the age of 15.

On both these days the workshops will run from 12.30-3pm and they cost $15.

Each workshop day also begins with a special hosted tour of the Whatu Manawa Exhibition.

Barbara and Johanna: our volunteer legends

By Caitlan Johnston Every Monday, volunteers from two churches come together to help feed people in the Te Awamutu community that are in need.

It all started when Barbara Linton, a member of the St Patrick’s Catholic church, who noticed a few rough sleepers taking sanctuary at the St John’s Anglican church covered walkways.

She would stand outside with them and feed them. Four years ago, a member of the St John’s Anglican church, Johanna Halder, noticed Barbara’s efforts and decided to team up with her to start running an initiative they call Monday Meals.

“I said to her to come out of the cold and do what she was doing in here (St John’s Anglican church lounge). We might be from two

different churches, but this is a joint venture to help the community and that is what is important,” said Johanna.

Johanna and Barbara each have their own teams of volunteers from their own churches and take turns running the initiative on alternative weeks. Together about 15 volunteers help with Monday Meals.

It takes more than just volunteers to prepare the meals and the group do rely on the kindness of support groups like Kainga Aroha Community House to donate food and the kindness of community members and their own volunteers like Dennis Howell whose apple crumble is a favourite.

“I think what we’re doing here is very important, and I mean I can cook so that’s what I do,” said Dennis.

While some may think the

initiative is there to serve just a particular group of people in the society, Johanna and Barbara says it’s far from that and Monday Meals has an open-door policy to anyone.

You may need a meal, or you may just need a social group to connect with.

“There are all sorts of people who need something. We get people who live alone, people who just feel lonely, people who struggle to fit in and those affected by poverty in all its forms,” said Barbara.

“Our outreach is to anyone that is in need, anybody can be here”.

Around 10 people regularly go to Monday Meals, but this number can change each week. This week’s meal was a mid-winter feast and there were over 30 people there to enjoy the meal made by the volunteers.

The logo’s foundation is based on a moko pattern and is said to interpret and show how the stories to be told through Te Ara Wai are imbedded in the landscape and that there are multiple perspectives and connections to these stories.

There are also distinct shapes of the letters A and W for the Te Ara Wai name.

A non-scientific survey on Te Awamutu’s main street suggests that the new logo is favoured by residents.

“That looks quite cultural and I think that it suits the name really well,” said Casey Williams.

Common answers received from the survey were that people liked the Māori design and that it looked simple and appealing.

A few people didn’t prefer the

logo however, saying that it just wasn’t striking them, and they didn’t know what it meant.

“It’s okay but it doesn’t jump out at me and make me go wow,” said Karla Dye. Some people were also confused and believed the moko lines, that represent the complexity and interconnectedness of the stories of Te Awamutu, looked like a series of ticks Waipā District Council has also awarded stage one of a $2.6 million architectural and design contract to Wellington-based firm Studio Pacific Architecture whose previous projects include the He Tohu Document Room at the National Library in Wellington and the Museum of Transport and Technology in Auckland.

that there is always uncertainty around that,” said Mylchreest.

Nan: our Queen of volunteers

By Caitlan Johnston

In 1950 Nan (Noeleene) Owen got off the train in Ōtorohanga to be welcomed by a much different sight then what the town looks like today.

She fell in love with the town and 70 years on is one of its great volunteers.

Nan is one of the volunteer heroes we salute this week – National Volunteer Week.

The 91-year-old retired Ōtorohanga College teacher is president of the Ōtorohanga Museum and has been involved with it since 1972 when the Ōtorohanga Historical Society was founded to create the museum.

Back then the town’s court building was set to be demolished by the local authority - but one lawyer wouldn’t have that and fought for the building to be sold to the society. They society succeeded and moved the building from the main street to 15 Kakamutu Road, where it sits today.

“I became positive that something needed to be done to preserve the community’s history so we decided that a group of us would start a museum and we formed the society,” said Nan. It took four years for the society to develop the museum and many of those years, and years after, Nan spent rummaging through garage sales to fill the museum with community artefacts.

“I don’t think there isn’t a garage sale I didn’t go to. I liked doing that because I wanted to fill the museum with only local artefacts that had been through local hands,” said Nan. Nan’s volunteering doesn’t stop there. Asked what else she did she replied, “how many hours

do you have”.

She is a voluntary worker for the Ōtorohanga Citizen’s Advice Bureau and between 1993 and 1998 was its chairperson. She is a volunteer and member for the Project Kiwiana Committee, responsible for the Kiwiana playground by Countdown. Once a week she volunteers at the Bridget’s Opportunity shop and she regularly volunteers at the Ōtorohanga Support House.

She has also been a food bank assistant, a volunteer for the Ōtorohanga Plunket Society and was the secretary, voluntary, for the Ōtorohanga Zoological Society and Bird Park – now the Kiwi House and Native Bird Park.

“The reason I volunteer so much is because I enjoy working and I have a great love for this town. Anything I can do to keep the town healthy, I will do,” said Nan. Since 1978 Nan has received a host of awards for her voluntary service to the community, including the New Zealand Suffrage Centennial medal in 1993 and the Ōtorohanga District Council community service award in 2001. She was also a semi finalist in the New Zealander of the Year award in 2010.

Nan says volunteering at the Museum is the one she favours most because the museum is a place she wants to see preserved and continued even when she steps down as president.

“I don’t spend as much time here as I’d like but I do love this museum,” said Nan. “I’m looking for someone to take over, I don’t want to give it up, but I am 91 and I’ve got to be reasonable”.

“Anything I can do to keep the town healthy, I will do”

Nan says she volunteers so much because of her love for the community.

New playground for Pirongia

By Caitlan Johnston

A few passing showers last Sunday didn’t get in the way of the new playground opening in Pirongia at Rangimarie Reserve with residents and children taking up the opportunity to test it out.

The opening event kicked off at 11am and Waipā mayor Jim Mylchreest was there to cut the ribbon with a helping hand from children.

Waipā District Councils community service manager Sally Sheedy said the feedback from the opening was positive and that there was great recognition for the efforts made by the council and the community to achieve the development of the playground.

Festivities on the day included face painting, a sausage sizzle, a coffee cart, music and lots of playground fun. The new play space boasts swings, slides, balance beams and climbing equipment and is partially fenced.

Buy local: it’s a good debate

The playground was a joint funded project between the council, the Pirongia community and the former Pirongia Plunket which raised $26,000.

A Pirongia Plunket volunteer of five years prior to the group disbanding, Ruth Webb, continued to drive the community project to ensure that it would become a reality.

“It started as a Pirongia Plunket project to give back to the community with something that was meaningful for the under five children in our village as the existing playground was unsafe for this age group,” said Ruth.

“When the Pirongia Plunket volunteer group disbanded I continued with the project because I don’t like to leave projects unfinished.”

Ruth continued to round up funds through events, grant applications and sponsorship and was happy to finally be at the opening of the playground three years after the project was initiated with council.

“The playground is a great addition to the community with a purpose-built junior playground that is suitable and safe for our tamariki,” said Ruth.

The Pirongia community turned out to Rangimarie Reserve for the opening of the new playground.

By Gary Derbyshire Firstly I have to acknowledge Te Awamutu News for the opportunity to have a regular reporting column from our Board, and to wish them every success with relaying positive stories from our local community.

This month your Board passed two resolutions which generated robust Gary Derbyshire discussion. The first recommended that Council where possible, cast a favourable eye towards local suppliers and contractors when awarding service or supply contracts. Our community “ Buy Local” philosophy is supported by the Board, however it is also accepted that best practice and legislation also govern decisions made by our staff when awarding contracts.

The second resolution supported investigating all aspects of our crumbling Victoria Park Band Rotunda including a potential relocation to a more suitable and usable site. Anzac Green is a potential site as it provides the opportunity to attract a wider group of users and with correct signage would inform more visitors of the history behind the structure.

Building consents issued for Te Awamutu in May showed continued buoyancy and totalled $15,575,862 with $10,037,700 being commercial or industrial consents… a positive trend noted by the Board.

Improving pedestrian access to, and safe movement around the Warehouse carpark complex was also discussed, with staff providing an overview of work about to be undertaken shortly. The Board is also eagerly awaiting the opportunity to be involved in the car parking policy review that has been a long time coming!

One of the biggest frustrations noted by the Board is the inappropriate spacing, signage, enforcement and allocation of car parks throughout the retail area of Te Awamutu.

Our monthly meetings are open to the public who are welcome to pop in and have their say. Any Board member can be contacted by visiting www.waipadc.govt.nz We look forward to hearing from you!

Clarification

Susan O’Regan, whose column appeared in the Te Awamutu News last week, was described as a Te Awamutu Community Board member. She is one of two Waipā District Council representatives on the board, which covers the Te Awamutu and Kakepuku wards, and occupies that seat by virtue of being the elected Waipa District Councillor for the Kakepuku Ward. The other community board representative from the council is Andrew Brown, who is one of four Te Awamutu ward members.

Info evening to help those who may run for Council

Nominations for local government elections are opening on July 19, when Waipā residents can put their names forward to run for local government.

To assist those who are interested, Waipā District Council will hold a candidate information evening at 6pm on June 27 at the Sir Don Rowlands Centre in Karapiro.

The evening aims to help people learn what is involved in being an elected member and campaigning for office.

Chief executive Garry Dyet said candidates needed to be capable and driven with strong leadership qualities and a passion for the community.

“We are encouraging anyone who wants to make a difference in the local community to stand. After all, local government and local democracy are fundamental to our community and provide the opportunity for everyone’s voice to be heard,” he said. “The

mayor and councillors are elected to be community leaders and to represent the views and interests of all citizens.”

It’s a big job, being part of Council, Dyet said. In addition to giving citizens a say in how their communities are run, Council manages community assets worth more than $1.6 billion. This includes road, water and waste water networks, libraries, recreation and community facilities.

The organisation has an expected annual plan turnover of over $127 million in capital expenditure for 2019/20, as well as operating costs of around $87 million.

“We encourage people over 18 from all walks of life to consider standing for election, as we focus on our community’s changing needs and aspirations,” said Dyet.

“If you’re inspired to represent your community and think you have the skills, experience and ideas to make a

positive difference, come along to get the inside scoop on what’s involved in being a mayor, councillor or community board member.”

Candidate nominations are open from July 19 to August 16. Election day – the day to vote – will be on October 12.

Waipā residents will receive their enrol to vote papers in the mail ahead of election day on October 12. It is important to enrol so you can have your say on the future of Waipā.

Key dates, candidate information and frequently asked questions about the 2019 elections are available on the council website. Visit www.waipadc. govt.nz/elections for full details.

Waipā residents can also learn more about the range of activities and services Waipā District Council looks after with an interactive tiki tour at www.waipatikitour.co.nz.

Recycling: check for change

Waipā District Council is urging residents to check for changes in their recycling collections.

A new recycling service will be launched by the council on July 1.

Service delivery group manager Barry Bergin said that for some, this will mean a change in recycling days.

“In the coming weeks residents will receive a calendar in their mailbox with their new collection day and the next six months of collection dates. A calendar is also available online on Council’s website.”

He said collection days may be different on opposite sides of a street based on the most cost-efficient routes for its contractor.

Blue recycling crates will be sacrificed for two new wheelie bins; a 240-litre yellow bin for plastics 1-7, tins, cans, paper and cardboard and a 140-litre blue bin for glass bottles and jars.

The yellow mixed recycling bin will be collected every two weeks, the blue bin every four weeks.

The new recycling system will have no impact on rubbish collection which is a private service and not managed by Council.

For those not wanting to keep their blue recycling crate after July 1, Council has organised two-drop off events.

“We know lots of people want to keep them to reuse around home and we encourage that. But we’re also happy to take them back and will recycle them into pallets to be reused in our communities,” Mr Bergin said.

There will be one drop off event on July 20 at 214 Churchill Street in Te Awamutu and one on July 21 at Hally’s Lane carpark in Cambridge. Both begin at 10am and end at 2pm.

If anyone wants extra crates to reuse, they will be welcome to go to the drop off points on those days and collect some.

Mr Bergin said residents should not bring the bins to

Council offices or put them into the new wheelie bins.

“They will not be accepted in the wheelie bins as they cannot be recycled using our regular machines. You’re better off offering them to neighbours or family who might want to reuse them or dropping them off at the special events if you can.”

For more information on the new recycling service and to access the online collection day finder, visit waipadc.govt. nz/recycling.

Participants sought for clinical trial Waikato breast cancer researchers are looking for women willing to take part in a clinical trial investigating a new surgical technique for treating arm lymphoedema.

The trial will look at whether lymph node grafting produces a greater reduction in lymphoedema volume and gives an improved quality of life, compared with standard treatment. It is being led by Waikato plastic surgeon, Winston McEwan, who has developed a new surgical technique called lymph node grafting.

Lymphoedema is experienced by between 10 and 20 percent of people who undergo axillary lymph node dissection, an operation often performed as part of breast cancer surgery. Those battling the condition

currently manage it using selfadministered massage, therapeutic exercise and the use of a compression garment. In some cases, surgery is considered.

Researchers say there is evidence to suggest that transferring the lymph nodes from elsewhere in the body to the affected limb can reduce the size of the affected arm. The new lymph node grafting technique has been developed and tested in a pilot study in the Waikato, with results showing promise as a treatment for treatmentresistant lymphoedema.

Local researchers now need further evidence to be certain that the technique is safe and effective, and to standardise and develop the grafting technique further. In both the pilot

study – and to date in the clinical trial – some patients have experienced a reduction in lymphoedema, but others have not.

Those willing to be part of the clinical trial will be randomly assigned to either a control group, who will receive only the current standard lymphoedema therapy, or the intervention group, who will undergo lymph node grafting surgery as well as the standard therapy.

Those interested in taking part are being asked to contact research nurse Heather Flay (07-839 8726 ext 97960, or email Heather.Flay@waikatodhb. health.nz), or research nurse Jenni Scarlet (07-839 8726 ext 97916 or email Jenni.Scarlet@waikatodhb.health.nz).

Rural catch nabs his Golden Boot

By Sophie Iremonger

Otorohanga “bachelor” Lewis Nichols got what he wanted competing in the Rural Catch competition formerly known as the Fieldays Rural Bachelor.

The 21-year-old said he was there to win, not so much meet a partner, and he did just that – taking home the prestigious Golden Gumboot as overall winner.

He hasn’t closed the book on finding that special someone though. “I met a few people

that I will definitely keep in touch with and who knows, something might grow out of it with time,” he admitted.

“I was knackered by the end of the week, to be honest I just wanted to go home to sleep and relax.”

After a thirteen hour sleep the agricultural machinery operator said it had been the experience of a lifetime.

“You know I won $22,500 worth of prizes but it was the experience and the relationships I formed that I will never lose in

my lifetime,” he said. “I thought I might have embarrassed myself but it’s just so cool, and you have to put yourself out there, you have nothing to lose.”

He said he “one hundred per cent recommends” potential contestants in next year’s competition “don’t hold back and just do it”.

“The opportunities that are given to you are something you can’t get anywhere else.

“I even got offered a job from one of the biggest contractors in the country, Andrew Quigley of Andrew Quigley contracting in the South Island.”

He didn’t take the offer, because he’s just about to start his new job at Makowhai Contracting in Bulls.

“I’m getting pretty excited,” he said. “As soon as the results were released my new boss called to congratulate me.

“I’m also pretty sad to be leaving but I’m stepping up in my career and taking the next step and I guess the timing itself has been great.”

Lewis takes home the coveted Golden Gumboot trophy, a brand new Suzuki King Quad worth $17,995 a $2000 Swanndri voucher, and STIHL and Skellerup vouchers.

“I’m taking away more than just the prizes.

The prizes are amazing, but the experiences are lifelong. Every one of us have got on, it’s like a family, none of us want it to end,” said Lewis.

Meanwhile Hamilton girl Charlotte Leach, who grew up in Cambridge, won the hearts of the public being crowned People’s Choice.

She won Swanndri, STIHL and Skellerup vouchers, and – not to walk away empty handed – all competitors received a $500 STIHL voucher.

Lewis Nichols had good reason to smile after winning a brand new Suzuki King Quad worth $17,995.

The most “local” contestants of the competition, Otorohanga’s Lewis Nichols and Cambridge’s Charlotte Leach, were announced as the competition’s top two winners. They’re pictured just a few seconds before they found out they’d won.

Credit rating puts Council in good financial standing

Level 1, Anglesea Imaging Centre Gate 2, 11 Thackeray Street, HAMILTON 3204

Waipā District Council could now save tens of thousands of dollars in annual interest costs on any new long-term borrowings from the Local Government Funding Agency, after its first credit rating yielded positive results.

Hong Kong and Sydneybased analysts reviewed Waipā’s historic and projected financial data and met with mayor Jim Mylchreest, chief executive Garry Dyet, Ken Morris and other key members of Waipā’s leadership and finance teams as part of the assessment.

A final rating was then signed off by an international rating committee, and Fitch Ratings assigned Waipā with a long-term local currency Issuer Default Rating (IDR) of ‘AA-’ and a short-term local currency IDR of ‘F1+’.

The outlook on the long-term IDR is stable.

The rating means Waipā has secured a 15 basis point (0.15%) discount on any new long-term borrowings from the Local Government Funding Agency, which will save them tens of thousands of dollars in annual interest costs.

“Our rating compares well with other local and regional councils across the country.

We understand the only New Zealand local authority to be rated higher than us

by Fitch is Invercargill City Council with a ‘AA’, so we’re very proud of this result,” said Ken Morris, Council’s chief financial officer and group manager of business support.

“The ratings are robust and assigned based on Fitch’s strict rating criteria for international local and

Ken Morris

regional governments, for the most part looking at their profiles and debt sustainability ratios.

“It also endorses the economic strength of our district, our political and management stability, and our organisational practices.”

The rating is subject to ongoing monitoring and an annual review by Fitch, and Morris says his team are focussed on maintaining Waipa’s financial strength and sustainability.

Ticket giveaway: Renowned pianist to perform with NZSO

On the beat A COLUMN BY OUR COMMUNITY CONSTABLE

This week I would like to talk about Neighbourhood Support.

Criminals find things harder in communities that care. Neighbourhood Support is a network of people within the community who are prepared to call Police if they see something out of place. All that is required to set up a network is a willing volunteer to manage the local network.

There is also the Commsafe network managed by Daryl Nix. Daryl and I share a lot of information about suspicious activity, especially in the rural areas.

This network has proven itself – it gets results. Over the last 12 months work with Commsafe has enabled police to arrest several active burglars.

There are now two numbers you can

use to report crime to Police - 111 for emergencies and our new number 105.

The 105 number is to be used for when you want to report an incident that has happened, such as a burglary.

Acclaimed Scottish pianist Steven Osborne, hailed as “one of the UK’s most gifted pianists”, will perform in Hamilton on July 19 with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra – and the Te Awamutu News has two tickets to give away.

The Mātauranga concert, to be performed at Claudelands Arena from 7.30pm, will have Osborne performing Beethoven’s boundary-pushing Piano Concerto No. 4.

“There’s an incredible thing with Beethoven, this ability to not go through the motions but to fundamentally create something each time,” Osborne said.

The concert will also feature the world premiere of a new work by Kiwi composer Michael

Norris.

Michael Norris’ new work Mātauranga (Rerenga) is inspired

by Captain James Cook’s first encounters with Māori in 1769.

It was commissioned as part of the NZSO’s Landfall Series to mark the 250th anniversary of the encounters this year. Norris’ evocative piece will include the sounds of taonga puoro, (traditional Māori instruments) and live electronics to represent indigenous flora and fauna, as well as mātauranga – Māori knowledge and wisdom.

The concert will also feature Felix Mendelssohn’s famous The Hebrides Overture and Mozart’s inventive Symphony No.38.

The Piece is described as one of Mozart’s most adventurous works, written during an intense

period of creativity for the prolific composer.

Tickets are available via ticketek.co.nz.

To win a double pass, send your full name and contact number to: sophie@goodlocal.nz no later than 9am on Tuesday, 25 June.

Students to take part in NZ’s biggest performing arts event

After months of preparation, students from Te Awamutu College will perform live on stage in the annual Showquest event at Claudelands Arena on Tuesday, June 25.

Showquest is staged nationwide

by Rockquest Promotions, the team behind Smokefree Rockquest, and this year is expected to attract record entries. The event was formerly known as Stage Challenge, but was

rehashed last year as Showquest.

The Hamilton show will be the eighth regional instalment of the performing arts event, with themes including a journey of self-discovery, and the voice of young people.

The event is supported by the Ministry of Education, with Minister Chris Hipkins saying that Showquest gives students opportunities to showcase their talents by drawing on personal

experiences, imagination and skills.

Te Awamutu College said it was encouraging and supporting school participation in this year’s Showquest.

Event director Matt Ealand says that the team is looking forward to the second year of the programme.

“Last year we saw some incredible teamwork, with students working together to develop performances about themes that were important

to them,” said Ealand. “The most successful students teams took an idea and developed it, creating a performance that expressed a complex concept in an engaging, often funny or moving way. That is what we are expecting across the board for Showquest 2019.”

Awards to be presented include first, second and third places, soundtrack, choreography and technology.

In registering for the programme schools can opt out of the competitive aspect of the event.

Showquest Hamilton will be held at the Claudelands Arena on The show will start at 7pm, tickets will be at the door or from Ticketek, priced at $12 for students, $25 for adults, or $70 for a family of five.

After the nine regional rounds a national final will name the top entry in September.

Mya – the force be with her

By Caitlan Johnston

Te Awamutu College student Mya Sunnex is well on her way to international powerlifting competitions after securing remarkable wins at the Waikato Bay of Plenty Powerlifting Championships and most recently at the North Island competition.

At the beginning of this month the

Mya Sunnex won the North Island Powerlifting champs with a total weight lifted of 295kg.

16-year-old daughter of Kihikihi table tennis club player Hyrum, competed at the North Island Powerlifting and Benchpress Championships at Kolmar Sports Centre in Auckland.

She won the sub junior under 63kg female class title and was overall top lifter across all classes.

Mya’s winning lifts were a 125kg deadlift, 60kg bench press and 110kg squat - a 295kg total. Despite securing the win, Mya said she has heavier lifts in her and will be saving them for the national competition in August.

“Even though I won I didn’t get the lifts I was training for, it’s motivated me to push for nationals even more,” said Mya. “She does lift more in training, so she can do it, but we didn’t want to give away too much, we’re saving that for nationals,” added her dad - and coach- Hyrum Sunnex.

Mya who has been in the sport for less than a year. Earlier this year at the Waikato Bay of Plenty Powerlifting Championships she broke four records and was named top junior powerlifter.

She was also advanced to qualify for the NZ National Powerlifting Championships in August, the Commonwealth Powerlifting Championships and the World Powerlifting Championships both in Canada in September.

“My ultimate goal this year is to get to the Commonwealth powerlifting championships and hopefully place. One day I want to win worlds too,” said Mya. Dad, Hyrum, has put his coach hat on to say Mya will go to the Commonwealth powerlifting championships if she wins at

Mya Sunnex on the bench press at the competition.

the NZ Nationals.

Despite having qualified for Worlds, Mya will not be competing in the competition this year as she would need to be lifting 30-40kg more then she currently is to have a chance of a medal. Hyrum predicts she will be lifting that and ready for Worlds next year.

“Everyone has natural talent but the ones who work harder and are committed to what they want to achieve are the athletes that make it,” said Hyrum.

For NZ Nationals Mya is working on improving her overall weight lift by 15-20kg and Hyrum is confident that she can achieve this. She trains six times a week at Snap Fitness gym in Te Awamutu and Hyrum has steered her away from traditional powerlifting training, instead moving towards a functional strength and power regime that focuses on preventing joint overloading.

Kihikihi continues to turn tables

Kihikihi Table Tennis club is aiming to repeat its 2018 success and hold the Waikato and Waipa area interclub shield.

The club opened with a 48-24 win over Matamata earlier this month in the first round of a best of three series.

“All up there was about 40 people playing,” said clubs president Hyrum Sunnex.

The night didn’t start well for Kihikihi with players Bo Nikara and Sam Roa losing their singles. Hyrum Sunnex responded by beating Shane Quigley 11-5, 11-7 and Bo and Sam won their doubles. New addition to the club Ngarangi Mason who is a member of the New Zealand Under 17 development squad continued the winning streak taking out all her single matches.

Tomorrow the club has six teams competing in the National Country Clubs in Taupo where last year Hyrum’s competitive team placed third and the club was the most successful country club, taking home 12 medals.

“My expectation for my team is to win, but the club goal is for them to have a great experience, enjoy it and hopefully learn something,” said Hyrum.

Kihikihi will also host the National Maori Table Tennis Open this year. It will be the first time the competition has been held in the Waikato.

Hyrum excelled in the event last year, winning the open men’s single, the over 40’s single and the over 40’s double with his table tennis partner.

He believed that the competition could have been much better if it was centralised and was promoted the right way.

“I’ve basically taken on the role of event organiser and we’re going to have it this year in Te Awamutu, which is a pretty big deal,” said Hyrum.

The competition will be held at the Te Awamutu Events Centre on September 21 and 22.

Results: Kihikihi 48 Matamata 24: A Grade: Hyrum Sunnex, Bo Nikara, Sam Roa won 7-5 vs Armindeep Singh, Shane Quigley, Victor Cuba; B grade: Ray Sheath, Scott Dunn, Graham Duthie won 11-1 vs Adrian Joe, Grant Dailey, Ted Arnold; C grade: Greg Adam, Geoff Smillie, Kyle D’Souza won 9-3 vs Efren Edimo, Noel Beattie, Lyall Wilson; D grade: Jared Bell, Ngarangi Mason, Josh Brown won 9-3 vs Ragvir Singh, Heather Stringer, Wayne Tobeck; E grade: Terry Lasenby, James Krippner, John Metcalfe won 7-5 vs Vivienne Daisley, Michael Smith, Adam Marsh; F Grade: Kieran To’angutu, Ryland Bell, Adam Bell lost 5-7 to Vince Taylor, Reg Knoll, Murray Rolleston.

Breaking female in sports barriers

By Caitlan Johnston

Hyrum Sunnex has high hopes for his club in Taupo tomorrow.

A sport and fitness initiative that is fighting the declining rates of physical activity among women in the Waikato wants to hear from Te Awamutu women about what active options they want access to.

“This me Me” is a Sport Waikato initiative launched in 2017 in Taupo, then in Waihi in 2018 and now Te Awamutu. Organisers are hosting an evening drop-in session on July 4 to show what is available.

While this initiative is something for women and girls of all ages, they are hoping that female youth will especially show an interest and become involved.

“We’d love to see the female youth from Te Awamutu at the This is Me evening to come and find out about some opportunities that are available

in their community to get active, also to let us know about the changes they’d like to see around sport and recreation and any ideas they have,” said Sport Waikato’s women and girls initiative advisor Wendy Trolove.

The initiative was designed because Sport Waikato believes that for many New Zealand women, concerns around body image and ability prevent them from getting active and they hope that This is Me will decrease the anxiety women experience when it comes to being judged while participating in sport activities.

“From research that has been conducted, girls particularly between the ages of 15-18-years are less active than their male counterparts. Although, 65 per cent of women are interested in trying a new sport and recreation activity or doing more of what they

already are. We want to help make this happen,” said Wendy.

This is Me activities and events are led and designed by community members and groups and different activities have included a self defence class, ultimate frisbee have-a-go-days and supporting a group of students that had entered in the Tough Guy and Gal Challenge.

Opportunities for Te Awamutu women include pilates, boxing, workout classes, and drop in netball. The evening information session is a chance to learn how people can get involved in these activities as well as sharing new ideas for activities.

The evening session is free, and it will be at the Albert Indoor Indoor Centre from 5.30 to 7pm on July 4. To register email Rebecca at waipa@sportwaikato. org.nz or call 027 475 7747.

Ball inspires premiers to home win

Te Awamutu travel to West Hamilton tomorrow buoyed by a crucial win last weekend over Ngaruawahia in the WaiBOP Premier football league.

The 3-0 home win gave the Gisler Architects Ltd sponsored side some breathing space from the relegation zone, moving it to eighth in the league with 12 points with three wins, three draw and six loss record.

Tomorrow’s opponent West Hamilton, Matamata, Ngaruawahia and struggling Te Puke follow.

Te Awamutu led 1-0 on Saturday at half time and was in command of a match which featured several missed opportunities to extend the margin.

Waikato Ball then calmed the home spectators’ nerves somewhat when he scored his second goal of the game. Late in the match Ball turned provider as he spotted Jamie Bell unmarked wide on the left side played a perfect through ball for him to run

onto and open his account in the premiere league.

The plaudits of player of the day, though, went to goalkeeper Kevin Billot who produced some fine saves to get his clean sheet.

Tomorrow’s clash at West Hamilton kicks off at Weka Street at 2:45pm.

The men’s reserves team were emphatic 7-1 winners over Te Aroha at Anchor Park.

Aaron Mills scored a hat-trick of goals while Peter Buesnel, Zak Petropoulos (2) and Josh Whitt scored the others. The win lifts the team into fifth in a closely contested league for the majority of teams as runaway leaders Melville and Huntly have first and second spots well locked in. Stand in coach Buesnel picked the whole team for player of the day as he described the effort to win as being totally collective from the defending to the attack. This week the team has a bye.

The Edmonds Judd men’s 3rd division side narrowly lost 2-1 to the Northern Utd

Ōtorohanga bounced back from its loss to Hautapu to put 50 points on the board against Melville last weekend – but the woes continue for Te Awamutu Sports who travel to Cambridge tomorrow.

Sports were shaded 26-23 at home by Old Boys and face a daunting task at Hautapu, where the home side will be entertaining its 1998-99 back-to-back Waikato Breweries championship squad.

Hautapu has won every game this season and after four wins in the current round have a one point lead over Fraser Tech. Ōtorohanga remains third, four points further back, making its clash tomorrow with Fraser Tech in Hamilton all the more intriguing.

University host Melville and Old Boys play Marist in the other two clashes.

In the Premier B main round, the story is not too different – Otorohanga leads Fraser Tech while Te Awamutu, and ironically Hautapu who they play tomorrow, are winless after four.

Ohaupo’s 29-16 home loss to United Matamata Sports also left them winless after four – and they travel to play Championship A competition leaders Leamington tomorrow.

Pirongia who beat Frankton 31-10 in Division1, section A, last weekend have a bye tomorrow. In Division 2 Kihikihi travel to Jaradites and Te Awamutu Marist host Raglan.

One win, one loss…

Player coach Peter Buesnel on the ball.

at Hamilton’s Discovery Park. Trailing 1-0 at half time the Jim Grainger coached side went 2-0 down before Adam Blake scored to close the gap. Grainger reports that his team just couldn’t put away the chances to score a second or third goal to get a draw or win.

This week they play Melville at Gower Park, 12:30pm kick off.

The men’s 4th division side lost 3-2 to Unicol Black at the University. Dylan Brett and Cullan Wheatly scored while Richard Bell was the player of the day. This week they face Cambridge at Anchor Park, 12:30pm kick off.

The Pink Ladies Women’s division two side also lost a close game 2-1 to Te Aroha at Anchor Park. Jade Hagger set up Sydney Russell to score the only goal for Te Awamutu. The team remain in third place in the league and this week take on bottom

of the table Ngaruawahia at Centennial Park, 11:00am kick off. The Edmonds Judd Women’s team return to action at Anchor Park this week against Claudelands Rovers, 11:00am kick off.

Kihikihi bring back a women’s rugby team

By Caitlan Johnston Women’s rugby has returned to Kihikihi after an absence of 20 years – and the new team is holding its own in the Gallagher Women’s Premiership.

“We’ve just got to keep trying and always improve our game especially against those top teams. They’re not easy to beat and they’re quite dominant but we just have to keep going,” said coach Alex Phillips.

The team plays in the Gallagher’s Women’s Premiership and there are six teams they go up against. They’ve had six games, winning three, drawing one and losing two to the top teams Hamilton Old Boys and Melville.

Being a new women’s team, we asked coach Alex Phillips, who started playing for the club in 1994, what keeps the team motivated to keep going.

The club started the women’s team because girls leaving Te Awamutu College needed a club to play for and because of the opportunities for women in rugby in New Zealand now.

Last year, the New Zealand Rugby Union and New Zealand Rugby Players association announced paid contracts for the women’s national team the Black Ferns, this came 23 years after men’s rugby union was made professional.

Occasionally, Black Ferns player Carla Hohepa takes training sessions with the Kihikihi team and has even played a few games for them. Carla’s sister China is the captain of the team and this is her first year back on the field after suffering an injury years back.

“The opportunity to come and have her take trainings or even play for us is an experience you can’t beat. She’s made such a big difference to the team and she’s an inspiration for them,” said Alex.

They’ve also had a training session with Waikato Women’s Rugby team head coach Wayne Maxwell and Waikato Rugby Union’s commercial and marketing manager David Fox often puts his hand up to help the team.

With one round of competition completed, one to play and then semi’s and finals to come, Alex says the team will be working on improving their game to hopefully make the semi-finals.

“We’ll be making sure they’re doing extra training like cross fit and not just relying on our basic training nights,” said Alex.

“I also encourage them to reflect on what they can improve on after games.

Even though it is a team sport I think it is important to set individual goals.”

Considering they are a first-year team, Alex say’s that the team is doing great and that no matter the outcome of the season they need to remember that they are just starting out.

Tomorrow they will play their first game in the second round against Putāruru at the Putāruru Rugby Football club at 1pm. On the standings board they are currently tied for third with the Waikato University team.

“We’re doing pretty good for our first season but we do need to remember that we are a new team so we can’t expect too much of ourselves, we just have to keep getting out there,” said Alex.

Quick crossword

The last time Kihikihi Sports Rugby club had a women’s team was in 1994.

Coach Alex Phillips says the team is doing pretty good considering this is their first year back into it.

Mr Incredibull relishes winter footing

Trainer Chris Wood is hopeful he may have unearthed a leading prospect for the deep winter tracks over the next few months after Mr Incredibull broke his maiden status at Te Awamutu on Sunday.

The Encosta De Lago four-year-old had provided glimpses of potential in his four raceday starts prior to Sunday’s 1400m maiden contest including an eye-catching finish for fifth at his last start at Pukekohe.

Relishing the testing Slow9 track conditions on offer at Te Awamutu, Mr Incredibull looped the field at the 600m for rider Matt Cameron to dispute the pace before forging clear in the run home to score by a comfortable two and a half-length margin.

Wood was delighted with the win as he shares in the ownership of the horse with Highview Stud principal Brent Gillovic

and a syndicate of friends put together by another stable client.

“It was nice to get the win as he hasn’t had a lot of luck so far in his career,” Wood said.

“He was supposed to be sold up to Hong Kong but failed the vet so Brent Gillovic asked me if I wanted to race him.

“One of the owners of Wooden Edge, Sam Durrant, got eight to ten of his mates together and they took a share while Gilly and I own the rest.”

Wood believes Mr Incredibull has what it takes to work through the grades over the winter months provided he can find some suitable races for him.

“He certainly seemed to handle that track today once he got out wide and rolling into it,” he said.

“If that’s the case then he should be able to pick up another win or two as the real winter

“I would like to see them reinstate a one-win only class in that grade to help those horses that struggle once they clear maidens.”

The win for Wood came in a timely fashion as the meeting was abandoned shortly afterwards.

Rider Jasmine Fawcett parted company with the Andrew Meikle-trained Gingee in race four near the 800m mark when amongst a group of five runners who were disputing the lead at that point of the race.

Fawcett was taken to Waikato Hospital Trainer Chris Wood.

Gillies breaks Awapuni hoodoo Talented jumps jockey Mathew Gillies was able to put his self-described Awapuni hoodoo to rest on Saturday when he rode home a winning double at his former home track.

Gillies, who these days trains in partnership with Graham Thomas in Cambridge, spent half a decade working at the Palmerston North track and said he was pleased to get the wins aboard Gallante and Gagarin.

“I worked on the course there for five years and it means a lot to go out and win those two races,” he said. “It has been one of my hoodoo grounds, I have only ever won three races there in my whole career before (Saturday).

“I have a lot of seconds and thirds in those big races and it’s always been annoying me, that is why I was so happy and emotional after winning them on Saturday.”

Gillies suffered a serious race fall in 2016 when riding Gagarin at Trentham and he said it was great to get the win with him in the Manawatu Steepelchase (4200m) in his

comeback season of riding.

“He caused my head injury, but that was just bad luck,” Gillies said. “I have forgiven him for that because he has been so good to me through the years.”

While he was pleased to win aboard Gagarin, Gillies was delighted with the performance of dual Group One winner Gallante in the Awapuni Hurdles (2900m), winning the race by 12 lengths.

“He could have won by 20-plus lengths if I had put it to him. He won by 12 under a hold, I hadn’t even moved on him,” he said.

“I never thought in my entire career I would be riding a horse that has won two Group One races in a jumping race, it’s quite unbelievable.”

Both horses are being set to contest the major jumping races over the coming months and Gillies believes both geldings could be in for a lucrative winter.

Maungatautari receives funds to celebrate conservation week

By Caitlan Johnston Maungatautari Ecological Island Trust were amongst the successful applicants in the council’s April round of Creative Communities funding and the small boost will go towards their activities during conservation week this September.

The trust received $500 and that money will be used to have Horomona Horo, a taonga puoro composer and practitioner, perform and run a workshop.

“We will be promoting conservation week to our local community, offering them an opportunity to enjoy Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari with traditional Maori performance,” said Maungatautari

Ecological Island Trust marketing and sales manager Jessica Meade.

Conservation week runs September 14-22 and Horomona’s performance will be on September 18 in the forest as the sun sets and the birds are in song.

Jessica says that during the spring the forest is especially full of birdsong.

Taonga puroro translates to “singing treasures” and is the term to describe a wide array of wind, percussive and string instruments that Horomona is said to have mastered.

Horomona has spent 13 years devoting his time to studying, composing or practising taonga puroro and has performed and worked overseas.

Horomona Horo will perform on Maungatautari during conservation week.

Movies…

Things to do this weekend The Rosetown Choristers will put on a concert this Sunday at the Methodist Church on Bank Street. The concert, titled The Sixties, will see the group perform music that rocked the world during the 60’s. There will also be a performance by Jay Alz Ukele group. The concert begins at 2pm and costs $12 for adults. Under 16’s are free when accompanied by an adult.

Head out to Lake Karapiro on Sunday and go to Markets and More. With an ever-growing list of stall holders there will be lots to shop for including candles, belts, bibs and so much more.

You can also grab something to eat there from one of the many food trucks on site. The markets are at the Sir Don Rowlands Centre and are on from 9am2pm.

Take the kids to Hamilton Gardens on Sunday where Matariki Ki Waikato will be hosting a free kite making event and lessons to celebrate and recognise the significance of Matariki and the Maori New Year.

All material will be provided to make a kite and each child will receive a free sausage sizzle.

Behind the façade of Anna Poliatova’s beautiful and aloof appearance lies a secret that will unleash her indelible strength and skill to become one of the most feared assassins on the planet. Her seemingly delicate and frail frame is a sharpened and refined tool able to cut through swaths of adversaries in order to achieve her mission. Anna heads out on her next mission with no back up but with international authorities hot on her heels. An electrifying thrill ride unfolding with propulsive energy, startling twists and breathtaking action. Anna introduces Sasha Luss in the title role with Helen Mirren, Cillian Murphy and Luke Evans.

Woody, Buzz Lightyear and the rest of the gang embark on a road trip with Bonnie and a new toy named Forky. The adventurous journey turns into an unexpected reunion as Woody's slight detour leads him to his long-lost friend Bo Peep.

As Woody and Bo discuss the old days, they soon start to realize that they're worlds apart when it comes to what they want from life as a toy. Toy Story 4 delivers a cinematic grand slam, a nineyears-later sequel that's wholly equal to the high expectations raised by the terrific trio that it follows. Hilarious start-to-finish with emotional twinges, it's just great.
