Thanks a million!

The Te Ara Wai discovery centre will be able to be bigger and better thanks to a $1 million boost in funding by Trust Waikato.

Te Awamutu’s new, purposebuilt museum has received a significant boost with Trust Waikato donating $1 million towards the discovery centre.

The donation brings possibilities for the project to be even bigger and better, because – as Waipa Mayor Jim Mylchreest explained – the amount that is fundraised for the project will ultimately determine how big it can be.

“Council will be contributing $7.2 million towards the design and construction of a purpose-built facility for Te Ara Wai. But if this is a national project that we treat with national significance, then we will need support from the likes of the Provisional Growth Fund and other funding mechanisms.”

Council recently applied for the funding from Trust Waikato as part of its fundraising programme, and the organisation committed to backing the project because of its “huge significance” to the region.

Trust Waikato chief executive Dennis Turton said they believed it would “deliver transformational change” and have an important impact for communities at a regional and national level.

“It’s telling the story that no one has told before – the land wars and its effect on all parties,”

he said. “Those stories will aid in community development and bring those communities closer together.”

The project would not only provide employment and training opportunities, he said, but most importantly, “increase people’s connection to the land and our history so that we can acknowledge

the past and move forward with collaborative solutions into the future.”

Te Ara Wai will showcase the largely unknown social, cultural and natural history of the Waikato, encompassing the region’s foundational geological beginnings, its mix of peoples, their struggles,

innovation and resilience, and their battles for sovereignty during the New Zealand land wars.

Visitors will be able to take pathways through natural landscapes, battle sites and early settlements that formed the Waipa community and shaped Aotearoa New Zealand as a nation.

Trust Waikato staff visit Waipa District Council to learn more about the Te Ara Wai project.

Council is currently awaiting concept plans from the architect on the project.

“No one in New Zealand has attempted a project this ambitious before, weaving together different perspectives on the New Zealand land wars. There is simply nowhere else in New Zealand where you will be able to have this type of experience,” said Mylchreest.

“We’re also meeting a growing demand for New Zealand history to be part of the national curriculum, where we teach the stories of our country, rather than learn about the history of everywhere else in the world.”

With the current Te Awamutu Museum not having enough storage space, and being limited by the number and size of exhibitions it can provide, the new museum will also mean collections can be stored and displayed properly.

“The support and generosity of Trust Waikato will help us to achieve something the district and New Zealanders will be proud of,” said Mylchreest.

“This is such an important project for our district and we are sincerely grateful for the support Trust Waikato has shown for this project.”

Care and craft group celebrates 42 years

By Viv Posselt

The Cambridge Care and Craft Group marked its 42nd birthday last week with a special tea for its members.

Since starting in 1977, their weekly gatherings of Waipa residents have provided a rich source of companionship and activities for those coming along. The group began by providing people in the community across all ages and abilities - an opportunity to socialise and enjoy a selection of craftoriented activities and games. In those early days, said a member who has been going since the mid-1980s, there were around 70

people each week. Numbers are now down to around 20, but the engagement is just as lively.

Several members from Te Awamutu attend on a weekly basis.

Nicky Booth and Jeanette Watt have been steering the group for the past couple of years, following the retirement of one-time supervisor Beverley O’Callaghan and three volunteers. Nicky and Jeanette help set it all up, organise the teas and the always-popular sales table, and fill a weekly raffle basket.

“For 20 cents a ticket, they get various items from the basket – so the whole thing doesn’t go to just one person,” said Nicky.

On the beat Lights, cameras – action

by Community Constable Ryan Fleming

This week I would like to express a little gratitude to the community.

Several weeks ago I put the word out calling for volunteers to offer some time to monitor the CCTV cameras being installed in Te Awamutu and Cambridge.

The response was overwhelming and I’m very pleased to report we have now more or less filled the positions. The next step for us now is training our volunteers.

I had the pleasure the other day of being part of the test of the system with the first cameras from Cambridge being viewed at the

Te Awamutu police station.

This has been about 15 years in the making so it is all very exciting. A special mention needs to be made to the community patrollers who organised all volunteers vetting procedures.

To those of you in the community who want to volunteer time still, there is a litany of organisations that rely on volunteers. Go out and get amongst it. It is your community You can read more about the CCTV camers being installed – check out page page 5 of today’s Te Awamutu News.

She said some of those coming along enjoy knitting and other crafts, some paint or colour in, others make bathmats.

“Care is at the heart of the group, which means we pay special attention to how we look after those coming in. The coffees are all lined up on one side, the teas on the other – people quickly get to know the system and feel right at home. The idea is to provide a comfortable place where people can enjoy the company of others – it helps prevent social isolation in the community.”

The group meets every Monday from 9am to 12 noon at the Senior Citizens Hall in Cambridge’s Milicich Place. Members pay a nominal weekly rate to cover the cost of the tea, and the Senior Citizens Association leases the hall to them at a special rate.

Nicky said the group was keen on bringing new members on board. They’re also looking for new volunteers, people who would be available to help host the sessions for a few hours each Monday morning.

“We need more people who can help us set up the tables and take them down at the end of the session, and perhaps assist through the morning,” she said. “There is also a need for someone who might be willing to help transport members who can’t get there under their own steam. If someone was to help us with that, we would look at reimbursing them their petrol costs.”

Anyone willing to help as a volunteer, or who is interested in joining the group, is asked to contact Nicky Booth on 07-823 7445 or 022 517 2719, or just pop into the hall on any Monday after 9am.

Pest control: how to do it

Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari will host two pest control workshops on Sunday.

The workshops are part of a process to help native wildlife and encourage people to do their bit to trap and dispose of pests.

The 10am and 2pm workshops, at the southern enclosure, 99 Tari Road, will be led

by Sanctuary Mountain’s Pest Team Leader James Matthews, who will discuss ways to trap pests around the home. The hour-long workshop is free, or by koha donation.

Matthews will also lead an optional guided walk through the mountain’s Southern Enclosure, providing a behind-the-scenes highlights tour. This would usually cost $33 – but with 50 percent off during Conservation Week (September 14 - 22) the tour will be $16.50 per person.

Bolger tells it like it is in TA

By Viv Posselt

Former Prime Minister, the Rt Hon Jim Bolger, didn’t mince words when talking to the Te Awamutu Continuing Education Group last week.

Noting the make-up of the 100 or so almost completely Caucasian, grey-haired members of the audience, he delivered a direct message across numerous topics.

“There are far more people in the world who don’t look like us than there are people who look like us. The dominance of groups of people like us is fading; there is no white race in the world that is replenishing itself. We are having fewer children, which means Caucasians are voluntarily walking into history. It’s happening all over the world,” he said. “Get used to it.”

Mr Bolger’s talk across a range of issues underpinned his views that a rapidly-changing world would mean continuing education would be required of everyone. He suggested that a resurgent Asia would out-run the west and return China to the sort of global dominance it enjoyed a thousand years ago, and said a new form of leadership was emboldening populist

governments in their quest to diminish key issues such as climate change and foment social and racial division.

On the latter, he urged people to be always vigilant and be prepared to call out racism wherever they see it. “There is never an excuse for silence.”

He said the global economy, one that grew out of two world wars, was under serious threat from two leaders – US President Donald Trump, and UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson – men he described as having “huge egos and little substance” whose “endless lies have become part of their voice”.

New Zealand’s democracy was in good shape, and he praised Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern’s postChristchurch attack response as one that showed strong leadership.

“In the US, where they have had 250 mass shootings this year alone and between 35,000 to 40,000 are killed by guns every year, they express sympathy but won’t pass laws to change things. It is all talk and no action.”

Such bold decisions were required in many areas, particularly regarding climate change. “It is important to note that the fear of change is much more frightening for many than the reality of that change,” he said. “The Earth’s

carbon dioxide levels are the highest they have been in a million years. We are talking about dramatic change.”

Bolger led the National Party for 12 years and became the first Prime Minister elected under the MMP system (1990-97). When asked for his opinion on MMP versus First Past the Post electoral systems, he said the German system of MMP – on which New Zealand’s is modelled – ensured the government was formed from parties that won a majority.

“Now we have this issue of seeking coalition partners … the tail could be wagging the dog. I support a proportional system, I’ve never argued that we should go back to First Past the Post.”

He suggested leadership didn’t always mean “a comfortable ride” and urged MPs to make the right decisions, even if they were unpopular with some.

One such decision could be around the superannuation age, he said, advocating to raise the age to 68.

“There are currently 750,000 people over 65 in New Zealand. That will double to 1.3 million in 20 years. No responsible parliament can shrug its shoulders and hope the problem goes away, because it won’t.”

Latta talks up trades and success

By Viv Posselt

Nigel Latta gave the concept of success a rollicking shake-up when talking to several hundred people at Te Awamutu College on September 9.

Instead of the time-worn path to success carved through rote learning at school, the obligatory university degree and a single

career for life, he championed NCEA, the stability of trades and put a real value on learning from one’s mistakes, delivering the message in an epithet-laden Billy Connollystyled presentation which went down well with students and parents alike.

Latta had been invited by Pirongia School to talk on The Psychology of Success. The evening was a fundraiser for their Year 7 and

Pictured with Nigel Latta before the start of Monday’s address are Pirongia School staffers, from left, Jan Cullen (principal), Amy Gibson-White, Lynette Horn, Amanda Nasilasila and Melanie Dragovich.

8 school camps; Te Awamutu College offered the use of its hall for the event.

Now 52, the clinical psychologist, author and television presenter told the audience that it was only in his mid-40s that he questioned how he had arrived at his own success.

“It staggered me. I’m not the hardestworking person on the planet, I didn’t have lots of connections or money. So I started to wonder how it had all happened.”

Rigorous appraisal led him to believe that his start in a stable, middle-class white family had given him the initial leg-up. He also realised that the quest for money was over-rated. “I don’t think success is about money. Money is fine, it takes the pressure off, but after a certain amount you don’t need any more.”

He reckoned three things helped him get to where he wanted to be, and would help others do the same.

One is ‘do one thing’. “Figure out what you want to do, then pursue it without being distracted. It might take time to know what it is, and it may change over your life.”

The second, ‘build strong teams’, is something Latta said was ‘the singularly biggest thing you should do’. “I have never achieved anything of worth by myself.

humans; the people in your business are the most important thing you have.”

Third is ‘be relentless’. “Keep on going in the direction of that one thing.”

He said there would be obstacles – “just think clearly and get back to the plan. Mistakes are important; when things go well you don’t learn anything.”

He said the future “is going to be freaky”, and success would be driven by ‘the four Cs’ – critical thinking, communication, collaboration and creativity. Over 200 companies in New Zealand had said they no longer sought degrees in their employees, he said. It was a shift that should direct the talk parents give their children regarding their future.

“Sure, go to university if you are super interested, or passionate about something, but don’t just do a degree in marketing because you think it will get you a better job.”

Tech companies didn’t care about what degree people had – “they care about what you can do.”

He said the trades offered long-term job security as their “enormously complicated” jobs were less likely to be overtaken by technology. “The human part of what a tradesperson does makes it much safer in the long run.”

Gulliver’s travels a life changer

By Viv Posselt

Te Awamutu’s Joanna Gulliver hoped her trip to Vietnam would be life affirming, but she never expected it would have as great an effect on her as it has.

Her solo trip was done as something of a self-evaluation after going through an upheaval in her personal life.

“I wanted to prove I could be on my own, and to do it in a third-world country which would really challenge me. Now, I can’t wait to go back. I was in awe when I first arrived; my senses were completely overwhelmed. The place, the people

… so much of it is utterly beautiful. I could so easily have stayed.”

Joanna, who is president of Altrusa Te Awamutu, said she was surprised at how the visit boosted her confidence and optimism for the future. “I packed as much in as I could, yet always felt completely safe. I made sure I didn’t put myself in risky situations, particularly in the cities, but I kept pushing myself, watching the people, soaking in as much of it as possible in the time I had. When I left New Zealand, I never thought for a moment that I’d come back being this determined to return to Asia.”

The trip was as big a learning curve for Joanna’s three children, two of whom have flown the nest. They knew she was blessed with a strong sense of direction and sound common sense, and made a pact to call for help if they didn’t hear from her after a three-day period. “I wasn’t sure of what sort of reception I’d find, but actually that wasn’t a problem.

Help was never needed.”

After a city-based start to the trip, Joanna took a 12-hour overnight bus trip to Sapa, a mountainous region close to the northern border with China. “There, in the remotest of places, they all had the latest phones. There is a lot of French influence up there … the area has opened up to tourism, phones have become their lifeline.”

Another surprise Sapa offered was how much English was spoken; it was far less broken there than in either Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City. While the countryside offered hospitable communities, hillsides growing tea, marijuana and indigo, and watery paddies of rice, the cities were a riot of colour, noise and life. Food everywhere was wonderful, said Joanna.

“Nothing is wasted. All the street food is incredibly fresh and cheap. They eat communally and often invite passers-by to join them … kids run around everywhere. It’s lovely.”

She soaked up as much of the country’s history as she could, touring war-time tunnels and museums, and talking to as many people as possible about the country’s past.

Joanna has come back completely reinvigorated. On her return in June, she delved back into documentaries and films on Vietnam, and set about planning another visit.

“I’m determined to go back, mainly to Sapa and perhaps to the Mekong Delta. This time, I’d like to live with a local family and perhaps work with them for a while. This has been one of the most satisfying experiences of my life.”

Four of six CCTV cameras have been installed in Te Awamutu.

Two more cameras, which require standalone camera posts, will be installed early next month.

The recently-installed cameras are still waiting for fibre connection.

The cameras cover the Ohaupo Rd – Benson Rd intersection, and the Ohaupo Rd – Arawata St roundabout, with two more cameras along Alexander St. Thirteen CCTV cameras are being installed across Waipa, with one other camera installed recently in Leamington.

The footage will be monitored at the Te Awamutu Police station by Comm Safe and volunteers on behalf of Police.

Waipa District Council said anyone wanting to access recordings that could be related to crime should report to Police, not Council.

Council’s transportation manager Bryan Hudson said the cameras were part of a push by Waipa District Council to help make the district a safer place, and would be used to monitor traffic movement and inform future decisions around roading infrastructure.

“The cameras will also act as a deterrent for crime and gives us a means of identifying those committing crime when it does happen,” he said.

It is estimated the system will cost just over $80,000 per year to run – mainly covering licencing and communication fees, as well as repairs, camera cleaning and power.

A full list of all camera locations in Waipa can be found at waipadc.

Fluoride: Yes, no…maybe

6 | TE AWAMUTU NEWS

FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 13, 2019

The News canvassed candidates in Waipa and Otorohanga for their views and found a third were reluctant to give their opinion – instead saying the public should decide.

And if it went to a vote tomorrow Do you believe among the 21, it’s any one’s guess fluoride should be which way it would go. introduced into The money would be on no public water fluoride, though.

Ten candidates put supplies? a stake in the sand and It’s a yes said they did not support or no fluoride in water. Four, including two who gave question qualified support, could be – but if put in the yes category. you are But seven declined to give their own opinion. standing “I would refer to the for election experts for the best advice at present, before making any votes for or against,” said Bill you can’t Izard. be sure of “I believe that it should a yes or a be the publics’ choice,” said Marcus Gower. no answer.

Poto Davies was opposed to changes which hand responsibility for fluoride introduction to Health Boards. But on fluoride: “If the Waipa community support fluoridation then yes, if not, then no”. Philip Coles supported the health sector being the “appropriate official body to make this decision”. Alana McKay took the same approach: “I believe that is a question best answered by those with medical knowledge who can truly understand the risks and benefits”.

Elise Badger said public consultation should always be considered and Liz Stolwyk said: “I believe this decision is one for the community to make.”

We asked: 1) Do you believe fluoride should be introduced into public water supplies?

2) The proposed Health (Fluoridation of Drinking Water) Amendment Bill seeks to allow district health boards to direct local authorities to fluoridate community water supplies in their areas. Do you support this change?

3) (Optional) - Why you hold those views?

Here are some snapshots from the candidates who answered: Bill Izard I have views on fluoride in drinking water, however I’m not an expert.

Bernhard Fynn I have to be against as there is a large body of people against it and it is apparently not to treat the water, but a medication.

These views come from reading about fluoride and the way society is today over the roads and cyclists and pedestrians.

All I hear is drivers be aware, never do I hear cyclists be aware, pedestrians be aware - it is a society of someone else is responsible. Same with teeth, personal responsibility.

Marcus Gower We had fluoride tablets when I was a kid and I have great teeth as an adult.

District Health Boards know more about health issues than I do, I think that is a great change as they are experts, however they should still consult with their local communities about their wishes.

Michael Emery I encourage fluoridation for districts where levels of chronic dental disease would be significantly reduced by its introduction.

Dental decay is the single most common chronic disease in New Zealand (2009 New Zealand Oral Health Survey), and is most prevalent among children, Māori, and low socioeconomic groups. Current scientific research favours fluoridation as a safe and highly effective remedy.

Poto Davies This debate is emotive as well as subjective. Individuals prefer to have a choice in deciding what chemicals are added to the most basic of fundamental human rights – access to clean drinking water. Everybody ingesting fluoridated water will react in a different manner/manifestation.

Steve Grounds I do not support the fluoridation of our district’s drinking water. The addition of fluoride is a contentious issue and, as has been illustrated in other regions where its addition has

been considered and publicly debated, there are strongly held opinions on both sides in respect to the health benefits versus the potential risk involved. However, on the principal that our water should be as pure and free of chemicals as possible, I don’t support any additional chemicals being added. I also do not support the proposed changes to legislation for district health boards to direct councils to fluoridate their water. Water treatment and supply is a core function of our council.

Kane Titchener The Waipa townships have never been fluoridated. The proposed Bill will mean less democracy because the WDHB would be obligated to fluoridate. There will be no consultation or opposition allowed. The Council has supported a LGNZ statement to give control to the DHBs and has allowed this undemocratic situation to arise.

We should not fluoridate because it is unsafe. There are better alternatives to fluoridation such as the Scotland Childsmile programme that does a better job of reducing dental decay as well as protecting the unborn child’s brain from harm.

Andrew Brown This fluoride issue is fraught. The potential damage seems unacceptable to me. I would like to see the anti-fluoride studies thoroughly investigated. In the meantime, no fluoride.

Roger Gordon I believe the science is clear that fluoride in water is the most effective and efficient way to prevent tooth decay. Having some form of fluoride intake from the ages 6 months to 16 years strengthens tooth enamel in adult teeth and inhibits acid attack and decay. About half of the population (54%) already have access to fluoridated water and in 2017 government allocated $12 million to assist local authorities with the cost of fluoridation systems. I do have a problem with the decision being made by the Waikato DHB. I strongly believe that communities have a right to a voice on whether or not they want fluoride added to their water. If the community decides ‘no’, parents can then take alternate steps to add fluoride should they wish. I think it should be a local decision.

Hazel Barnes I do not believe fluoride should be in public water supplies.

The number of side effects reported in children, and now in expectant mothers, needs more discussion and factual results Continued next page

FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 13, 2019

before any attempt be made to do it anyway. The dental decay statistics, especially in young children, would not be any better with the addition of fluoride because the decay is caused by poor diet, mostly high in sugar. My days as a public health nurse, who no longer exist in the health system, visiting the homes of many lower income, unemployed families gives me the evidence to say this and I know that time has not changed the need for education and good health standards.

The Health Amendment Bill should not allow district health boards to make the decisions. This in undemocratic and imposes an unacceptable drug on every person whether they need it or not.

I hold these views because my own child was badly affected by drinking chlorine treated water and sustained badly mottled teeth and digestion problems.

Bernard Westerbaan Having done a fair amount of research I believe that fluoride should not be introduced in water supplies. There are many conflicting reports but the one sticking out is the one where it concludes it will lower children’s IQ. In that regard it would be more prudent to promote dental care education. One comment made at a recent Council meeting and I quote “you can repair teeth, but you cannot repair a child’s IQ” is very compelling. By adding fluoride to water supplies people do not get a choice (No filter system or boiling the water will do 100% removal of fluoride).

Viki-Lee Springer I personally don’t think it should be introduced into public water supplies as I believe people should have the choice. By introducing fluoride into public water supplies we take this choice away from people. I believe the local authorities should have enough knowledge of the area to make this choice themselves and again if this bill goes through, we take away peoples’ choice.

James Parlane There is absolutely no need to put fluoride in drinking water.

More seriously than that is that there is absolutely no need to put fluoride in the rest of the water that is not taken by mouth.

The average person uses 90 litres of water per day (generous estimate) They drink no more than two litres each per day. The rest goes straight into the environment.

The people that most need fluoride are those who drink beer and fizzy drink. The fluoride should be put in those beverages to counteract the corrosive effect of sugar and carbonic acid that are chemicals known well to rot teeth.

The Waipa District council, and its staff and the Ministry of Health have been told and told and told and told that and they

refuse to listen, or they are too stupid to understand. In either case, the message has not got through and millions of litres of water containing this chemical is going to be poured into the environment for no good reason.

I will be installing a tank at my home to collect rain water to drink as I do not agree with municipal poison dosing.

Don Sanders Yes, and yes, because the current best information suggest that the benefits of fluoridation outweigh the costs by a large margin.

Philip Coles I support the health sector being the appropriate official body to make this decision based on the most current evidence.

Currently Waikato DHB’s position is that water fluoridation is the most cost-effective, practical and safe means for reducing and controlling the occurrence of tooth decay in communities over 1000 people.

Let the experts, i.e. scientists, doctors, dentists and statisticians, work out what is best for our health and let councillors focus on what we do best - supporting local community projects and initiatives.

Greg Keyte In general, I believe that fluoride in water is beneficial to people’s overall health. Whether it should be added to the water supply, however, depends on the natural level of fluoride already in the water. I am, however, against a law that allows district health boards to direct local authorities to do this.

In general, the District Health Boards can no longer be viewed as the absolute authority on health. The Waikato District does not even have an elected Health Board, the health budget they have is deeply in the red and they cannot look after all the patients they have.

As we move forward, we (the community) are going to have to play a greater part in ensuring the health of the community.

Decisions around the health of the community need to remain in community.

Alana MacKay I believe that is a question best answered by those with medical knowledge who can truly understand the risks and benefits.

I am not a healthcare professional. I understand that there is a large amount of information on both sides of the argument and feel that this matter is best left to District Health Boards who have the resources and knowledge to make a properly informed decision.

Elise Badger Public consultation should always be considered and

engaged in when considering changes such as this; this must be balanced with a sound understanding and respect for the science underpinning the recommendations of many health agencies who support fluoridation of public water supply.

Current empirical evidence supports the fluoridation of public water supply to prevent and reduce tooth decay - this is particularly important for the tamariki, the children in our community.

Any increase in consultation between local government and the communities impacted by policy change is a positive thing.

As a Bachelor of Health Science graduate and having practiced in public health as a physiotherapist for over a decade, I consider these issues from a scientific and health perspective. I believe that by supporting dental health for Waipa our people are enabled to enjoy wholistic health.

Grahame Webber No to questions one and two “to give people the choice and for them to consider other options such as fluoride tooth paste”.

Grahame Webber’s first name was incorrectly spelt in last week’s News. We apologise for the error. Otorohanga Community Board candidate is correctly spelled Kat Brown-Merrin, not Kat Brown.

Lou Brown Question 1: I do not believe that fluoride is necessary for the general population, only for young children. Question 2: The Council would be bound by law to comply with the Health Amendment Bill. I do not support a mandatory change to public water supply. People may voluntarily choose to use fluoride for themselves and their children. Most rural areas do not have Council water supply. There will also be a significant cost to Council to implement and monitor public water supply fluoridation.

Liz Stolwyk I believe this decision is one for the community to make and a robust consultative process or referendum be organised to address this through the District Health Board. Let the community decide what is best for the community and let democracy direct the outcome. Whilst Waipa has not fluoridated in the past there are different circumstances at play for each community which is why this decision should be a collective one.

The District Health board is here to provide the best outcome for our region, they have access to the most recent and technical information on this subject and will no doubt have a robust process to facilitate their decision-making. I would not want to see local councils wasting ratepayer’s money doubling up on this issue.

Award winner encourages others Farm Field Day Pirongia’s Jean McKenzie,recently named Leader of the Year at the Waipa Business Awards, is

sending a message to others to “light a fire within you”.

“The key is not allowing other people’s perception

Jean McKenzie accepts the Leader of the Year award from Jake Rose, from the University of Waikato Management School (award sponsors).

to define you, that you are a boy or a girl so you can or can’t do something, and believing you should use your skills that you have,” she said.

McKenzie said she hoped her award win would encourage others, particularly women, to step forward and pursue their passion.

More importantly, she hoped it would shed light on the work by the Mathematics for a Lifetime (MFAL) Charitable Trust to help New Zealand’s underprivileged youth.

The former teacher of over 30 years launched MFAL in January 2017. It is a non-profit organisation which subsidises and provides maths tuition to students across the Waikato, Auckland and Taranaki.

Through this work McKenzie had found that improved academic performance could lead to increased self-confidence, better family relationships,

and in the long term, rich career options for the student.

“I consider my path a journey of opening doors and finding something I care about and care deeply,” said McKenzie, who launched Impact Tutoring five years ago after previously being a deputy principal.

The start-up has since grown to 14 tutors with three locations, helping hundreds of students in literacy, mathematics, and other subjects.

In addition to founding two educational initiatives, McKenzie was previously a volunteer fire fighter with the Pirongia Brigade for 13 years.

After accepting the Waipa leadership award, she said, “My hope is that other women will think ‘I can do that too’, stepping forward to show their skills with leadership.”

More information on MFAL can be found at www. mathematicsforalifetime.org.

Morlands Farm near Te Awamutu will host one of two Pasture Summit field days in New Zealand this month.

Pasture Summit is the collaboration of a group farm business owners and dairy sector experts from New Zealand and Ireland.

It aims to bring together farmers and researchers to tap into practical and scientific tools, resources and information about turning pasture into profit.

The two field days follow the inaugural New Zealand Pasture Summit Conference in 2018. They will be hosted by farmers for farmers with technical input from dairy sector specialists including DairyNZ. Farmers will have the opportunity to look inside the farm gate of two of the farmer speakers from the 2018 Pasture Summit Conference - Pete Morgan and Greg Roadley - to find out what makes these two dairy businesses consistently and robustly profitable.

The field days will include farm and business financials, where each farm sits on costs and profit relative to other farms in the region, a farm walk to view and discuss pasture, the herd and how to adapt and thrive through the next decade.

Pasture Summit committee member Robert Ferris says this year’s feature farms will show what the sector needs to focus on for the future.

“Providing nutritious food profitably through pasture has, and will, provide New Zealand communities with prosperity for generations to come. These two farms are among leaders in the field.”

He encouraged farmers to “come and get your boots dirty and see how they tick.”

The Te Awamutu event, for the North Island, will be held next Thursday. The farm is on Harris Rd, Pokuru.

Motocross rider continues US campaign

By Andy McGechan (abridged) Te Awamutu’s Rachael Archer will continue her 2019 debut in the internationally-renowned Grand National Cross-country Championships (GNCC) in the US this weekend, riding for the AmPro Yamaha Team in Round 10 of the series at Harpursville, New York, on September 15.

She is currently positioned fourth overall in the championship, behind US riders Tayla Jones and Becca Sheets and Australian rider Mackenzie Tricker.

She has spent the last two months back home in Waipa while the series took a break over the American summer. With competition resuming this weekend, Archer has returned to the States to continue racing for the Am Pro Yamaha team, run by American cross-country legend Randy Hawkins.

She plans to return home, hopefully with a title, in time to celebrate her 18th birthday in November.

“The series will all be wrapped up by the beginning of November and I’ll be back home for my 18th birthday and Christmas,” she said. “My plan

Let Tiles Make Your Statement New Builds, Renovations, Indoor/Outdoor Tiles, Swimming Pool Tiles.

is to come back again next year with bigger and better ambitions for the 2020 season.”

Archer will race the last four rounds of the GNCC as well as four enduro rounds.

“I will be riding the 2020 Yamaha YZ250FX, with a new-style chassis and motor, so I’m super excited for that too,” she said.

The 17-year-old from Ngaroma, near Te Awamutu, has long been a frontrunner, even against the men, on the cross-country scene in New Zealand.

Since joining the American circuit, she’s been turning heads in the United States as well.

From her training base in South Carolina, the competition has taken Archer all along the east coast of the US, from New York to Florida. At Round 9 of the competition near the village of Dunkard, in Greene County, Pennsylvania, Archer took her Yamaha YZ250F to finish the day third overall in the WXC (women’s cross-country) class.

“I started the race well (in Pennsylvania), going into the woods in

third position and I knew I could stay with the leaders,” Archer explained. “I made a pass on the grass track section and got into second for about half and lap, but this was short-lived after I made a mistake and dropped back to third again.

“I then lost sight of the front-runners and was struggling to hunt them down.

I just tried to ride my own race and get through the heat of the day.

“After that we were back in the woods where there was deep ruts and slippery tree roots everywhere. The bike was sitting well in the ruts, but my suspension was probably a little too harsh for the roots and I was getting deflected a lot. It was kicking me up into the front of the bike all the time. It was a physical race.

“It wasn’t my greatest performance and I had a few ups and downs throughout the race,” she said.

Nevertheless, Archer continues to impress in the US and has been on the podium for five consecutive events now. She has complied a 8-5-4-4-3-3-32-3 score-card after nine of 13 rounds Te Awamutu’s Rachael Archer (Yamaha YZ250F), is battling among the elite in the United States.

Possible return for champion jumper

Talented jumper Jackfrost (pictured below right) may not be lost to racing just yet.

The recently crowned New Zealand Champion Jumper was all but retired after injuring a suspensory ligament when campaigning in Australia earlier this year, but there are positive signs after recent stem cell therapy.

“He’s had a stem cell plant done,” said Brian Anderton, who trains the gelding in partnership with his son Shane.

“He is only nine, so it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t get back to the races this

season, there is still another season after that.”

While Anderton is upbeat about Jackfrost’s possible return he said the gelding’s welfare is their top priority.

“He’s at John Howe’s place, he owns him (as part of the Frosty’s Shoutin The Beers Syndicate),” Anderton said.

“He’s up there at the moment and he went ahead and got that done (stem cell therapy). They are going to give him a scan shortly just to see what progress it is making.

“If the diagnosis and

everything is alright we will give him another go. He had never been lame, so that’s something.

“It’s a sit and wait thing.

We have just got to go on what the scans say. John is a top trainer and he can put him on the jogger behind the cart and jog him for a couple of months.

“We will just watch the progress from there.”

Jackfrost was crowned New Zealand Champion Jumper at the New Zealand Thoroughbred Horse of the Year Awards in Auckland on Sunday and Anderton was delighted with the accolade for his jumper.

The son of Gallant Guru, who was bred by Anderton and his wife Lorraine, won three of his eight starts last season, including the Grand National Hurdles (4200m) and Great Northern Hurdle (4200m).

His win in the Great Northern Hurdle was a highlight for Anderton as it had eluded the veteran

trainer for many years.

“It was great for Shane, but it was always one of my ambitions to win a Northern,” Anderton said.

“I got placed in steeples and hurdles, but I couldn’t win one. But he bagged that for us, so that was a hell of an achievement for me at my twilight.”

Anderton had another

great result on the weekend with Wise Men Say winning the Great Northern Steeplechase (6400m) at Ellerslie.

Anderton co-bred the son of Yamanin Vital and he was delighted for trainer Raymond Connors who owns the gelding with his father Mark.

“We had a great thrill

out of the Great Northern,” Anderton said. “That was the seventh Great Northern Steeplechase win that goes back to Princess Mellay.

“It was great for the horse himself, and (his sire) Yamanin Vital. It is also good for the Connors. They have been great supporters over the years and it’s nice to see them getting rewarded.”

ON T L I M A H T E N MUSIC PL A

Former national champions and Kiwi internationals from the recent past will all flock together to race once again in Central Hawke’s Bay this coming weekend.

And while these individuals should certainly be favoured to dominate at the 2019 New Zealand Veterans’ and Women’s Motocross Championships in Otane this Saturday and Sunday, it’s highly likely that a few unexpected names may end up being engraved on the trophies this time around, such is the depth of talent that will be on show at the Bay Motorcycles-supported event.

The popular annual event will feature many riders who, despite their veteran status, still rate among the sport’s elite, while the female side of the sport that shares the race programme will be no less intense.

Stand-outs among those entered for the annual event include 1996 500cc motocross world champion Shayne King, from New Plymouth; twice former motocross world No.2 Josh Coppins, from Motueka; former veterans’ world champion Tony Cooksley, from Pukekohe, and former multitime national champion Damien King, from Cambridge, who also went on to race the Grand Prix scene in Europe.

Former national 500cc motocross champion Mitch Rowe, from New Plymouth; former GP racer Cameron Negus, from Rotorua; multi-time former national champion Mike Cotter,

from Cambridge, and New Plymouth’s David Furze, will also be lining up this weekend, along with Te Awamutu’s Mark Penny, Te Kauwhata’s Matt Vining, Auckland’s Steven Croad and Taupiri’s Mark Fuller, all four of whom were formerly top cross-country racing exponents.

British former Grand Prix star Kurt Nicoll, four times a 500cc motocross world No.2, is also a late entry and sure to be a drawcard.

Riders who primarily made their name on the road-bike scene, Feilding’s former 125GP exponent Kris Shirriffs and Whanganui’s super motard ace Ant Rountree, will be there to show they’re just as quick on dirt.

In the women’s section of the programme, expect to see riders such as Cambridge’s Zara Gray, Hamilton’s Amie Roberts, New Plymouth’s Mikayla Rowe, Motueka sisters Tyla and Roma Edwards, Ohawea’s Taylar Rampton, Invercargill’s Charlotte Clark and Ngatea’s Brooke Dalley to feature near the front.

Late entries are still likely to arrive from several veterans’ and women’s grade frontrunners from the recent past, including perhaps Blenheim’s Moston Wadsworth, Nelson’s Bryan Heaphy, Hawera’s Daryl Hurley, Inglewood’s Larry Blair, Whakatane’s Darren Capill, Auckland-based former Swiss international Gaudenz Gisler, Winton’s Brent Scammell, Blenheim’s Steve Lange, Christchurch’s Dean Baird, former Otago rugby captain David Latta, Lincoln’s Kelly Garland and Rotorua pair Letitia Alabaster and Mel Patterson, to name a few.

Hosted on Twist’s property at 1080 Argyll Road, Otane, the two-day event certainly features an entry list that reads like a who’s who and who-used-to-be-who of the sport.

The event again presents real value for money for spectators, with racing over two days for both the elite females, in both the junior and senior grades, and intense racing also for the Authorised by: country’s top male riders Derek Wooster 91 Mangaorongo Road, Otorohanga aged over 30 years.

Bowling club’s open invitation to non-members

By Viv Posselt

The Te Awamutu Bowling Club is opening its facilities to the public over five Saturdays through September and October - starting tomorrow.

The ‘Saturday Bowls’ initiative is a new programme that will see the club open its doors to non-members from 9am to 12 noon on each of the next five Saturdays. During that time, club members will show people how to play lawn bowls under a pay-to-play format, whether they’re keen to just try it out for a few hours or are looking at taking up bowling on a more regular basis.

“This is something completely new for the club,” said match committee member Clark Ambury. “By opening our facility to non-members, we will show people what the game is all about and hopefully attract some of them into bowling on a

regular basis.

“Aside from that, we have got a beautiful facility here, right in the middle of town. We think it should be enjoyed by more people in the community.”

Clark said the club spent $200,000 early last year on the installation of a new competition green. “We want to see it being used more than it is right now … we want people to come and see for themselves what bowling is about. The hope is that we can also attract younger members to the club.”

The club’s membership stands at around 80, but some of those are in name only, Clark said.

Those who do attend regularly not only hone their bowling skills, but also enjoy regular social engagement with like-minded people.

Registration tomorrow will start at 9am and play will begin about 9.30am.

Te Awamutu Bowling Club is hoping more people will come and use its facilities.

WAIKATO’S BEST EV EXPERIENCE EV OF THE WEEK

EV MYTH BUSTING MYTH:

Can’t go in Carwash

TOTALLY BUSTED

2013 NISSAN LEAF $17,995 Terrific car for regular trips around Cambridge, Te Awamutu & Hamilton

EVs are able to get wet; whether in the carwash, a storm, snow or even a deep puddle. Rigorous testing ensures EVs can handle normal conditions. Plus the EV batteries and motor are fully sealed. With no air intake or exhaust to suck in water, the EV is almost better equipped to handle a bit of water. But no car likes water and each model will have a max water depth recommendations.

EVERY CAR FROM US INCLUDES:  English language stereo  English language dash  NZ compliant charger cable

 Free WOF for life  Roadside assist 24/7  Concierge service 24/7

WHY ELECTRIC?  EVs are significantly cheaper to run than petrol/diesel cars.  EVs have great torque can accelerate quickly and smoothly from a standing start with no gears to work through.  EVs are quiet so the car stereo sounds great and conversations with passengers are much easier.  EVs handle well as the weight of the battery pack gives EVs a lower centre of gravity.  You can charge your EV anywhere there’s a power point and wake to a ‘full tank’ every morning.

FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 13, 2019

National women's football comes to Waipā Waipā will host the opening National Women’s League football clash between WaiBOP and Auckland on Sunday.

Sunday’s match at Cambridge FC’s John Kerkhof Park kicks off at 2pm.

The Waikato-Bay of Plenty combined side will use the Cambridge venue as its training base for its 2019 campaign and will play six league games there before the end of the year.

The others are v Southern, 1pm September 22, v Canterbury Utd, noon October 6, v Capital, 1,30pm October 26, v Central, 2pm November 17 and v Northern Lights, 2pm December 9.

Cambridge last hosted the WaiBOP team in 2017 and first held NWL matches in 2016.

Cambridge is also the training base for WaiBOP’s U-14 and U-16 Girls National Age Group squads, for the fourth year in succession, and will also be the base for an U-13 girls’

development squad.

Seven teams will play in the 2019 National Women’s League.

They are listed as WaiBOP Football Federation, Southern United, Canterbury United Pride, Capital Football Federation, Central Football Federation, Auckland Football Federation and Northland Football Federation.

Women’s football is on a high thanks to the performances of New Zealand teams at international level.

Only one game now stands between New Zealand and a place at the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup after their success this week at the regional qualifying tournament in Rarotonga.

And the U-17 women’s team were the big winners at the annual NZ Football Awards – having become the first New Zealand to claim a bronze medal at a FIFA tournament late last year in Uruguay.

Meanwhile, a second half brace from Jordi Langton was enough to give Otumoetai a 2-0 victory over Comag Matamata Swifts on Saturday and with it the three points that ensured the Fergusson Park-based club finished as runners-up in The Soccer Shop WaiBOPmen’s Premiership for 2019.

Te Awamutu’s campaign in the league finished two weeks ago, and subsequent results have confirmed the club’s final placing of tenth out of 12.

West Hamilton United were already too far behind Te Awamutu to make up the difference before they were beaten 3-1 by deposed champions Taupo in Hamilton last Saturday.

The WaiBOP championship was also wrapped up last weekend but made no difference to the top end of the table where Otorohanga had already been crowned champions, finishing nine points ahead of Claudelands Rovers.

DOWNTON ABBEY The film is about the continuing saga of the Crawley family and the servants who work for them in the English countryside in the early 20th century. The film was shrouded in even more secrecy than O’Brien’s soap catastrophe in season one, but our patience has finally been rewarded. (Lady Edith knows the feeling all too well.) In 1927, King George V and Queen Mary decide to visit the family’s estate with their royal court in tow. This honour results in a comedy of errors of sorts for the Crawleys, given that their usual number of butlers, cooks, valets, and housekeepers are significantly down due to their dwindling funds. As such, they beg Carson to come out of retirement to organize the visit of a lifetime, which he happily accepts.

The plot includes a royal surprise and there’s a heavier subplot about Lady Mary contemplating moving out of the estate for good.

ABOMINABLE A magical Yeti must return to his family in this new family comedy adventure. When teenage Yi (Chloe Bennet, Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) encounters a young Yeti on the roof of her apartment building in Shanghai, she and her mischievous friends, Jin and Peng, name him "Everest". They embark on an epic quest to reunite the magical creature with his family at the highest point on Earth. But the trio of friends will have to stay one-step ahead of Burnish, a wealthy man intent on capturing a Yeti, and zoologist Dr. Zara, to help Everest get home.
