Violence Free Waipa member and Te Awamutu community board member Ange Holt says it was great that so many men were prepared to step outside their comfort zone and wear high heels along the main street of Te Awamutu for the ‘In Her Shoes’ Hikoi on Monday.

The event, organise with the Ministry of Social Development (MSD) was organised to take a stand against violence for White Ribbon.

And on Page 2 today Te Awamutu police Ryan Fleming puts his personal stamp on the march and his views on domestic violence.

Holt said she was “absolutely stoked” with the day- “from the stalls in the street, white ribbons in windows, people wearing white ribbons, to the turnout and support we received from the community for the walk".

“White Ribbon was started by a group of men in Canada and it has grown to be internationally recognised.”

She says statistics in New Zealand show that on average one in three women suffer from domestic violence, 13 women, 10 men and nine children are killed each year and Police receive a call out to a family harm incident every four to five minutes.

“We have a very real problem here.

“White Ribbon has become more than just a show of support, it’s about promoting healthy relationships, speaking up and speaking out against violence in our homes.”

White Ribbon Ambassador and New Zealander of the Year nominee, David White, spoke at the event.

White was nominated for his campaigning to prevent violence.

His daughter Helen Meads was shot dead by her husband Greg Meads in Matamata 11 years ago.

On the beat

with Ryan Fleming

This week Constable Ryan Fleming has produced a special pre-Christmas column where he discusses the pitfalls of the holiday season – and challenges readers to stand up against domestic violence.

Talking about alcohol and violence With the Christmas fast approaching and the weather getting hotter, party season is now in full swing.

Every year Police see the fallout of this as people overindulge and find themselves in strife by getting behind the wheel. I’ve lost count of how many drink drivers I have arrested over the years that were in fact the “sober” driver.

In one case, I remember the group chose the “soberest” of them to drive them all home. This plan was doomed to failure when he hit several parked cars. My advice to you all is to have a backup plan and for parents, that may mean you are the backup plan. When I was a teenager, I had an understanding with my dad that he would pick me up no questions asked. That still stands to this day. This week our Impairment Prevention Team (The Booze Bus) were in the Waipa region.

Disappointingly they caught four drinkdrivers in Te Awamutu and even worse, five were stopped within 15 minutes in Cambridge.

Planning before you party doesn’t just extend to how to get home, it also means watching out for your mates. On a Friday night all too often I see a group of people go to a bar and as the night gets later, one of the group will inevitably overindulge and be removed from the bar because he or she is intoxicated. The sad part here is that instead of looking after their intoxicated friend, they leave them to their own devices

outside where all manner of harm can come to them. For a group of males this can lead to violence but for females this puts them at risk of far worse. If you see your friends in this situation do the right thing.

This week I took part in the White Ribbon “In her shoes” campaign. The aim of the campaign is to highlight violence directed towards women. I had the opportunity to walk in a pair of red (and I thought quite fashionable) high heels. It’s not as easy as it looks, and my feet still haven’t forgiven me.

The recent publicity surrounding the homicide of Grace Millane highlights there are still misogynistic views among men towards women. The media has reported how the man convicted of her murder would react to being rebuffed by females by name calling and “slut-shaming”. The chilling thing here is the sense of entitlement displayed. Buying a woman a drink at a bar doesn’t give any kind of consent.

Being invited to someone’s home doesn’t imply any kind of consent. Having consent removed does not give you the right to call names. This behaviour is not okay. If you see your mates exhibiting this kind of behaviour call them out on it. If you see someone in public abusing someone else, call Police. Stand up to that bully. Parents: have the hard conversation about consent with your teenagers.

To quote a line attributed to Edmund Burke: “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do

nothing.”

Grace Millane’s murderer did not start the pattern of behaviour the day he met her. There have been many like him over the years. In 2011 a jealous Elliot Turner murdered Emily Longley, a North Shore woman living in the Bournemouth, England. Clayton Weatherston murdered Sophie Elliot in her Dunedin home in 2008.

The killers were extremely possessive and controlling. They all saw women as possessions, not people, as trophies to be accumulated, not human beings. They, and many like them have exhibited those behaviours for years.

If you read the newspapers, you will know a number of people came forward to talk about Grace’s murderer and her killer’s bizarre treatment of women. Yet no one was willing to confront him and make him face it.

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

Shoes for Planet Earth

By Savannah Patterson

Te Awamutu Community Board member and manager of Shoes for Planet Earth NZ Jill Taylor says more shoes need to be donated to help those in need in the community.

Taylor says she started Shoes for Planet Earth in Te Awamutu about six years ago.

She says her son started it in Australia two years prior which inspired her to help the local community here.

“People are able to drop off shoes to Kainga Aroha or Sterling Sports.

“I then go through all of the shoes that are donated and they are then distributed where needed.”

She says they are always looking for

children’s and adults’ shoes but asks people to avoid donating high heels and shoes that are unusable.

Taylor says unfortunately some of the shoes people have given are too worn and torn to be passed on to anyone else and need to be thrown out.

“But probably about 80 percent are shoes that can be used again which is great.

“The whole idea is that there are people in every community that can’t afford shoes, even from second-hand stores.”

She says she is often contacted by different organisations such as Work and Income asking for shoes.

“We make sure we swap the shoes received in Te Awamutu with other areas that do this

such as Rotorua, Auckland, Taranaki and Wellington to mix the shoes up.”

She says shoes are also given to the Women’s Refuge in Hamilton which are then distributed throughout the Waikato to those in need.

“This has worked really well, and a lot of people don’t realise there are people who can’t afford to buy shoes and they’re not just those who are homeless.

“We’re always needing more donations if people are ever doing a spring clean or find they’re not getting use out of some of their shoes anymore - there’s always someone who could use them.”

Valuations: what they mean

An average rise in property values in Waipā of around 25 per cent in three years has underlined a growing demand to live in the region.

And the latest valuations which show industrial land values rising at a rate of 33.7 per cent compared to 9.1 percent for dairy and pastoral land will have some benefits for farmers.

It may mean in some cases their rates bill will fall.

The latest valuations were announced last week by Quotable Value Ltd and show an increase of 24.8 per cent in capital value and an increase of 33.7 per cent in land value across the district.

Council’s business support group manager Ken Morris said the council’s present

focus was on compiling the 2020-21 budgets and it would be early next year before staff model the rating impacts of the new revaluations.

He said the figures were a positive indicator for the region.

“Around 47 per cent of our total rates is determined by capital value so the three yearly rating revaluations can result in significant changes in incidence.”

Incidence can be looked at in terms of slices in a pie – the sizes of the slices are influenced by changes in property values.

“In the absence of detailed modelling, the general guide is that the rates impacts are not about the valuation changes per se, but about

the revaluation movements for individual properties compared to the average movement for the district,” Morris said.

“Therefore, in regard to the land use of properties, and with an average increase of 24.8 per cent across the district, industrial land with an average increase of 33.7 per cent will have a bigger share of the rates pie than previously; and dairy and pastoral land at 9.1 per cent will have a significantly lesser share, and those properties might even see a reduction in their rates bill.”

The latest revaluation has seen the highest increases in value in the industrial, commercial, lifestyle and residential sectors.

New valuations could be good news down on the farm

He said the 28.3 per cent average increase across all residential properties was not too dissimilar to the all sector district average of 24.8 per cent.

“However, for some parts of the district there is a significant variance from the 24.8 per cent; examples being Kihikihi at 46 per cent and Te Pahu at 41.7 per cent. In those cases, the share of the pie will increase and therefore rates increases greater than the headline average rates increase number for the district are likely to be expected.”

The highest increase has been in Kihikihi and there were strong rises in Pirongia and Ohaupo.

“This is great news for our smaller towns which are experiencing rapid growth and development,” Morris said.

He said it was important to note that the owners of a $435,120 property in Kihikihi would pay the same rates as the owners of a $435,120 property anywhere in the ward, despite the different percentage increases.

According to figures from the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand (REINZ), sale rates have dropped by 20 per cent year-on-year with 84 Waipa properties sold in

October 2019 compared to 101 in October 2018.

“In terms of prices, this would reflect what we’re seeing in many parts of the country with strong regional growth,” said Dee Crooks from the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand.

The new property values in Waipa were 24.5 per cent in Cambridge to an average growth value of $668,000, 26 per cent in Leamington to $619,000, 31 per cent in Ohaupo to $503,000, 30 per cent in Te Awamutu

to $500,000, 46 per cent in Kihikihi to $435,000, and 35 per cent in Pirongia to $577,000.

The overall worth of Waipā properties is up to $22.3 billion from $16.6 billion in the 2016.

Valuation notices will be sent to ratepayers on November 25. If owners have concerns, they have until January 17, 2020 to object.

For more information on the 2019 revaluation, including how to object, head to www.waipadc.govt.nz

Heating up…

More hot and dry weather is on the way for Waipā.

As demand for water rises the Waipa District Council is encouraging people to be conservative in their use of it.

The forecast was for some rain today, but it had been expected earlier.

Waipa Water Delivery spokeswoman Tania Higgie says in the last week water orders have started to come in with a few each day.

In the past month in Waipā has had just 36mm of rain, and none in a week as temperatures peaked at 27 degrees celsius.

Christmas cheer for RDA Staff at the Kihikihi Tavern will lead a fundraiser on Sunday for Riding for the Disabled.

One of the Tavern’s three duty managers, Sybil Warner, said the Garden Bar would host a Christmas Carols gathering from 6.30 to 8pm.

The event has aso been supported by Kihikihi Meat Factory and if successful could become an annual fundraiser.

Deputy’s salary drop ‘not a gender issue’

By Sophie Iremonger Salaries for Waipa district councillors were approved at a council meeting last week, when all but one voted in favour of a new distribution of pay to accommodate for an additional councillor, which resulted in the deputy mayor’s salary dropping and other councillors getting more.

Though it was a “bad look” that Liz Stolwyk would receive $10,000 less than her male predecessor, the new deputy mayor said it was not a gender issue – it was simply not the best way to re-balance the cash pool.

“I just couldn’t bring myself to vote in favour of that resolution – it

wasn’t my pay decrease, but their pay increase,” she said. “I voted against it because it was devaluing a position that’s held in high regard.

“I’m perfectly happy with my salary, that’s not why I’m in this role. No matter the pay I would absolutely honour this role and do it no matter what.”

With a fifth Cambridge councillor added to the table this year the money pool provided by the central government Renumeration Authority had to be juggled.

Councillors opted for $43,300 for their deputy mayor and $33,300 for themselves.

“I think we were all expecting a pay cut, so it came as a surprise as

we began to look at the options.”

Instead of a general decrease across all salaries, councillors voted for an option which would increase councillor salaries and significantly reduce the deputy mayor salary.

Stolwyk described it as “pure coincidence” that the pay cut came right after a female moved into the role and dismissed the idea of a “gender pay gap”, and said she was “perfectly happy with everything” around the council table.

“We’re stuck in this uncomfortable position of voting for our own salaries,” she said.

During the meeting former deputy mayor Graham Webber, still a Waipa councillor, described the

renumeration committee process as “a very archaic way of working things out”.

“There’s no relevance to the workload,” he said, ultimately voting in favour.

When he was deputy mayor Webber received 65 per cent more in salary than that of a standard councillor – 25 per cent more for chairing a council committee, and 40 per cent more for being deputy mayor.

Though not a chair of a committee, as deputy mayor Stolwyk will receive 30 per cent more than a standard councillor.

“That’s okay, this is a democracy and the decision I accept,” said Stolwyk. “It is a great honour to

have been sworn in as the Deputy Mayor, no matter what the pay rate.

“My drive and enthusiasm for this role will not change.”

New committee for climate change

Waikato Regional Council’s have decided to create a new committee with a specific focus on climate change.

It’s one of a number of changes to the council’s committee structure introduced in this triennium to better fit the era, says

Waikato Regional Council chair Russ Rimmington.

“As a council there has already been a strong focus on climate change, but this ground-breaking new committee recognises that this is a global issue with local

Science lessons on offer

By Savannah Patterson Children will learn more about science next month in a workshop with Lee Samuel from Studio Two. Samuel says she has just completed a painting workshop with children aged 5-12.

“The workshops are processed based, so the kids don’t all sit there doing the same thing and trying to get a perfect outcome."

The tutor says she tries to keep the workshops simple but also adjusts things depending on the child’s age and ability.

A Creative Science workshop on December 7 at Rosebank Art Centre will look at creative kitchen science.

Samuel moved to Te Awamutu from Wellington five years ago and says she wanted to open Studio Two to offer learning opportunities.

She hopes to continue

doing workshops monthly and has also been given the

opportunity to work with schools.

Te Awamutu tutor Lee Samuel from Studio Two is holding various workshops for children.

There are 12 committees, including four new committees: Freshwater Action, Climate Action, Infrastructure and Special Projects, and Regional Connections.

“This means the work previously planned and monitored by the Integrated Catchment Management Committee has been reassigned to specialist committees of council to complete the significant volume of work expected of us.”

Rimminton sais the Transport Connections Committee is not just about buses.

“It will look at bringing the region up to speed in the way we move people around.”

Fresh water remains the number one environmental issue for Waikato residents and is a priority for central government.

“Waikato Regional Council has a big role to play in this space.

“We notified a ground-breaking plan three years ago to improve the health of the Waikato and Waipa rivers, and we’ve been providing strong direction to the Government on its own changes to improve the health of New Zealand’s waterways.”

During meeting of council, councillors also decided to disestablish the catchment and drainage committees which had comprised nominated community and partner agency representatives.

“While it has been decided to disestablish these committees, the council values the advice, support and feedback provided and remains committed to community engagement.

“Senior councillors and executive staff will be meeting with catchment and drainage committee chairs over the next month to

Climate change workshop

The Waikato River Authority is hosting a workshop to discuss climate change issues for the Waikato River and Waipa River catchments next month.

Authority co-chairs Hon John Luxton and Roger Pikia say the workshop, on December 12 at Hopuhopu, will provide valuable information and feedback for the Authority particularly in relation to the funding of restoration work in the wider catchment.

“When the Authority started its work 10 years ago there wasn’t the same urgency around climate change action as there is today,” says Luxton.

“As a consequence, the

Vision and Strategy for the river which was established prior the Waikato River Authority being formed is silent on climate change.”

Fellow co-chair Roger Pikia says the workshop is an important opportunity to hear from a range of experts and at the same time apple a Waikato – Waipa lens to the issue of climate change.

Since it’s establishment, the Authority has invested $50 million on restoration related projects such as riparian planting, wetland restoration, afforestation and other forms of land and water conservation.

These projects have directly contributed to climate adaptation and mitigation, in addition to

Tributes paid to ConneXu

By Savannah Patterson

Disability support organisation ConneXu has celebrated its 30-year anniversary.

“ConneXu is a phenomenal organisation that is making a real difference to their clients,” Mayor Jim Mylchreest said. “Many of these people were facing a life of institutionalisation and are now livin g independent and fulfilling lives in the community - a fantastic success.”

People who had been a

part of the ConneXu journey shared their stories during a function at the ASB Stadium and Evencets Centre in Te Awamutu.

Michael Neban has been supported by ConneXu since the organisation’s beginnings. His parents Colin and Pauline spoke about how ConneXu had enabled him to live the kind of life he never thought was possible and given the family a network they could rely on.

Gabbie Nelson spoke of how she has thrived since

being supported by ConneXu and her pride in the things she has managed to achieve.

“My life has improved dramatically since I moved into the flat with ConneXu’s support, if I wasn’t with ConneXu I would be spending my whole life wondering what I missed out on,” she said.

She said when she did her ConneX-Plan – a planning tool enabling – “everybody was focused on me and what I wanted to do and achieve - it was a really different feeling

St Andrews rebuild start date set

An artist’s impression of the new complex.

By Savannah Patterson St Andrews Presbyterian Church in Te Awamutu has building consent for a new 1086m2 complex and work will start in 12 months.

Seismic test results in 2015 convinced church leaders to demolish the existing buildings, which were 60-years-old, and establish a modern church and communitycentred complex.

The plans come from the Te Awamutu design and build business Coresteel Building Waikato.

Convener of property planning committee Ray Miller says the plans have been finalised, building consent has been granted and resource consents have been obtained and fundraising efforts are continuing.

Rev Ron Bennett says the goal is to have funds in hand to start construction in

December 2020 and construction is estimated to take about 10 months.

Ray Morris said the Presbyterian Church nationwide had said with any new build must be community focused and available seven days a week.

“So, we’re not just building traditional church buildings, we’re building community facilities, and this will be a wonderful community facility for Te Awamutu.

Coresteel’s Trina White said the building would be an asset for the community and as a category three building could can be used in a state of emergency.

The building will provide auditorium space for around 150 people, and extend to include seating for another 50 in an adjacent seminar room.

The new complex will also include a 162m2 hall, a meeting hub area, a kitchen, youth centre, two meeting rooms, and two counselling rooms.

for me and it felt great.”

“My plan is something that I can hang on my wall, look at and say: today I want to achieve this.”

Retiring support person Brenda Howell was acknowledged for her service to supporting people over 30 years of working at ConneXu. ConneXu was launched as Te Awamutu Residential Trust in 1989 with a staff of seven and provided

disability support service for 10 people with an intellectual disability who were leaving Tokanui Hospital.

Thirty years later it supports more than 100 people across Waikato, Bay of Plenty and the King Country, with 160 staff.

It has also expanded its services to include advocacy and mentorship for people with physical disabilities and brain injuries.

Gabbie Nelson pays tribute to the help she has received from Connexu.

Roading repair work confirmed

By Savannah Patterson

Work on a 1km stretch of Wharepuhunga Rd, north east of Otorohanga will be carried out between December and March.

Otorohanga District Council engineering officer of road maintenance Lew Pulman says repair work on the section between Happy Valley Road and Mangatutu Road has been due for some time.

“The road needs to be rebuilt, and when completed it should have a life expectancy of 25 years,” he says.

“Moisture under the pavement is the biggest problem so extra drainage and culverts will be fitted to prevent the contamination of the Mangatutu Stream.

“The road will also receive a sealed upgrade, including widening two corners to improve safety and sight, and the pavement will be strengthened and stabilised with a new pavement layer on top.”

The contract for the $500,000-plus job has gone to Cambridge based Camex Civil. Some funding will come from the New Zealand

Transport Agency.

It classes the 19km long Wharepuhunga Road as a “secondary collector” road, meaning the road links areas of population and economic sites. On average more than 300 vehicles are on the road each day.

A two kilometre stretch of the road was repaired four years ago.

Road Safety Coordinator Rachel Stubbs says the council’s commitment to improving the safety of local roads goes hand in hand with her current work in addressing speed management in the region.

“Speed Management is about looking at our roads and seeing what we can do to make them safer for all road users.”

Otorohanga Councillor Robyn Klos said as Wharepuhunga Ward councillor she was delighted to see the work set to start on “what is probably our busiest road within this district”.

“It took some persuasion for Council to have a change of heart to put extra funds into these roads, it might only be 1km, but we are grateful, and every km adds up.”

FRIDAY NOVEMBER 29, 2019

Power company: sorry about that Waipa Networks and The Lines Company supply areas were without power on Saturday because national electricity grid operator Transpower had problems at its Hangatiki substation.

And the Waipa Networks has been quick to put its hand up and apologise for communications issues.

Power was lost just before noon for about two hours and Waipa Networks said customers were frustrated at not being able to make telephone contact and finding limited information on its website.

Waipa Networks CEO Adam Fletcher said the power cut – referred to by companies as an outage – was significant and affected more than 14,000 customers.

“But it was made worse due to a systems failure experienced by our faults messaging provider who at the time of the outage were rebuilding their system after an overnight failure.”

Waipa Networks contracts after-hours messaging and call answering services to specialist providers.

“The failure of this system meant that customers could not call us for information nor get information from the faults section on our website” said Fletcher. “With our phones and webpage out of action we had to rely on our Facebook and Twitter pages to provide updates, which we realise would not have suited many customerd.”

Waipa Networks provides electricity line distribution services to Te Awamutu, Cambridge and surrounding areas. The Te Awamutu section has been supplied by a second circuit since Waipa Networks commissioned its Te Awamutu to Hangatiki line in 2016.

However, from now until mid-December Te Awamutu has returned to a singlecircuit supply while Transpower carries out upgrades on the original Karapiro to Te Awamutu supply.

Waipa Networks said this had temporarily exposed the Te Awamutu area to the risk of a Transpower power cut such as those that used to occur before 2016 and was experienced on the weekend.

The variety show which will include the cast of Last Tango in Little Grimley - Noldy Rust, Sarah O’Connor, Tracy Ellis and Graham Pollard.

By Savannah Patterson A Te Awamutu Light Operatic Society Woolshed Variety Show will include three acts performed by Te Awamutu residents.

Producer and stage manager Rowan Miller says the society – Talos - try to hold a couple of shows each year and this is their final show for 2019.

“It’s ideal light entertainment for this busy end of the year and a fun night out for people in the community.”

She says they have been organising the show since September and it is ecpected to attrack almost 100 people attend to each session.

“This revue style show involves comedy sketches from Dave Moore and Lesley Wolstenholme, musical selections from Alice Collins and Sarah-Jane Yates all topped off with a hilarious one act play by David Tristam, Last Tango in Little Grimley directed by Susanne Bond.”

Miller says the variety show is a showcase of the

theatre community at The Woolshed.

“Every performance will be welcomed by one of our three performance groups, The Musical Allsorts directed by Fiona Miller, The Woolshed Warblers and Junior Talos both directed by Donna Higham.”

She says Dave Moore and Lesley Wolstenholme are no stranger to the stage and both have extensive experience in many genres of theatre.

“Dave directed a successful season of Calendar Girls and The Woolshed in 2017 in which Lesley reprised the role of Annie.

She says the final act of the show, Last Tango in Little Grimley is a story of a small amateur dramatic society struggling to bring in the punters until their chairman solves their problems with one final suggestive show.

It is directed by Susanne Bond and features club president Noldy Rust, Tracy Ellis and Graham Pollard and newcomer Sarah O’Connor.

“This will be a fantastic night’s entertainment and

we have secured a deal with Cosana to make it a perfect end of the ear celebration for friends or work colleagues.”

The season opens on Sunday.

Ready to rock

The Rosetown Rockers will host a Christmas Hop at the Te Awamutu Bible Chapel on December 6.

Clubs president Jared Pivott said it would be the second Christmas Hop for the Rockers since forming in October last year.

Recently the Drifters Rock n Roll Club in Hamilton hosted the Junior Allcomers Competition which saw two Rosetown juniors Tristan and Camille Pivott win the Restricted section and finish second place in the Intermediate Open.

Tristan Pivott danced with Colleen Ryan from Cambridge Cruisers in the Unders and Overs section, and they placed second.

Māori voice heard Chemical hit on grass

Iwi representatives with full voting rights will sit on two more of Waipā District Council’s decision-making committees.

Councillors have voted to retain an iwi representative on the strategic planning and policy and regulatory committees.

They also approved a motion to add an iwi representative to the finance and corporate and service delivery committees.

All four committees are responsible for making and overseeing crucial decisions on particular aspects of Council’s business.

Maori candidates failed to win seats on the full council at the recent local body elections.

Waipā mayor Jim Mylchreest said it was important to have direct input from local iwi before decisions on key issues were made by Council.

“Last year, discussions took place with iwi around how we could improve Māori representation within Council. Ensuring an iwi representative has a seat on each of our major decisionmaking committees is the first step towards achieving this.

“With a representative on each of the four most influential committees, iwi will be across much more of the decision-making process within Council.”

Iwi representatives will be directly selected by local

mana whenua and iwi.

Representatives may sit on more than one committee.

Waipā District Council is one of several councils, including Hamilton City Council and Waikato District Council, to mandate iwi representatives on key committees.

Health company on a fast track

A Waipa company has qualified for the Deloitte Fast 50 for the third year in a row.

Nova Health placed 42nd on the New Zealand top-50 list, which celebrates the country’s fastest growing businesses.

Young entrepreneurs Andrew McCathie and Sam Mackenzie bought the business in 2015, and their rapid success has led to the company now serving nine DHB catchment areas, including Auckland, Bay of Plenty and Waikato.

As a 24/7 business, the healthcare agency matches client requirements with specialised staff – clients being hospitals, rest-homes and private in-home care patients.

Growth comes with its own set of challenges, they said, the biggest being the demand for registered nurses. But the

Letters

Pool costs The Waipa District council says the Cambridge pool had some issues and that another $521k needed to be spent and it would be funded by asset sales and external funding. I was surprised to see Lorraine Kendrick say there would be no costs to the ratepayers.

I find that statement confusing as whatever the costs, the ratepayer will pay. If the costs is being paid by asset sales, I would expect that Council (ratepayers) will lose any revenue what should have been received from those assets. Surely income would have been created from those assets.

So, first question is: Council is funding a lot by selling assets, this has happened a lot over the last years. How many assets does Council have to sell? Why is Council buying assets? To make a profit on selling them? Is Council in the property market?

Second question is: can it be made transparent what external funding consists of?

Third question is why was this problem not picked up when the engineers report was done, is there any recompense on that “omission/not found” With the extra $521k to be spent what is the total cost going to be on the capital spend? I assume that the original costs of the fundraising has already been absorbed by rates.

Bernard Westerbaan Kihikihi The Waipa District Council responds: 1. Assets: Council has a large portfolio of assets that are regularly reviewed. We own and manage assets on behalf of our community in order to facilitate growth in our district, and most

introduction of an IT system had vastly improved this process.

This year the company launched a phone application which allows staff to sign timesheets, update availability and see booked shifts.

“This has helped save our staff time, reduce paper consumption, improve communication and provides a more accurate time record,” said Mackenzie.

“Most of our staff are lifestyle workers.

They want the ability to work in different places, at times that suit them,” said McCathie. “Through the use of innovative IT we manage to get the best of both worlds for our clients and staff.”

Canterbury agricultural business Smart Membrane Solutions topped the list.

importantly, meet the needs of the community.

The type of assets Council owns varies greatly, but they include things like community facilities, housing for pensioners, land and houses that are purchased for future infrastructure or capital works, and water assets. Any acquisition or disposal of an asset that is not part of the current Long Term Plan must be approved by Council.

2. External funding: Council has a $2 million fundraising target and donations towards the construction of the Cambridge Pool have reached just over $1.8 million. We are incredibly grateful to have had 14 donors contribute to the Cambridge Pool project. Cambridge Pool Fundraising Summary: Trust Waikato $400,000, Perry Charitable Trust $300,000, Shoof $15,000, Shaws Wire Ropes $20,000, C and R Group $80,000, Lions Club of Cambridge $100,000, ASB Bank $80,000, Anonymous $20,000, Skeet Trust $100,000, Lotteries $300,000, APL (materials in kind) $100,000, Grassroots Trust $200,000, John and Glenice Gallagher Trust $100,000, Kelly Grice and Karen Grootscholten (Bayleys Real Estate) $6,900.

3. Why was this problem not picked up earlier?

Council anticipated there would be a high likelihood that some remedial works were required due to the age of the pool. However, until the pool was closed and emptied, and the adjacent ground excavated for the new building, we were unable to carry out inspections and we couldn’t be sure of the extent of work required.

4. Capital spend? In October 2018 Council entered into a $17.6 million fixed-price contract to build the long-awaited pool complex. The extra $521,000 for remedial works is in addition to that budget, which will bring the total capital spend to $18.1 million. The work will be incorporated into the current redevelopment contract for the new building, and contractor is currently reviewing the programme of works to schedule it.

Otorohanga District Council is ramping up its efforts to combat yellow bristle grass.

Roading Manager Andreas Senger says Council has recently started a chemical mowing trial on three local roads affected by the weed.

Yellow bristle grass is an annual-seeding plant which spreads rapidly and impacts on pasture quality. Its distinctive spiky seed heads appear in late December and are most obvious in January and February. It is unpalatable to farm stock after the seed heads emerge.

Though not classified as a plant pest, the plant’s seeds can be spread by roadside mowers and freshly chopped maize silage, and once established on the roadside, it can just as quickly spread into farmland.

“We have chosen the roads to trial and are currently working on a strategy with our maintenance contractor and the supplier,” Senger said.

“Chemical mowing works by spraying suitable weed killer in low dosage on the growth to slow it down without killing it.

He said it had been used world-wide with good results “and we want to trial it here to see if it will suit our need”.

Otorohanga Councillor Roy Johnson said the grass, originally from Asia, was difficult to control and there was a small spraying window of time when control was most effective.

“It will be near impossible

to spray all the rural roadsides at the perfect time, it therefore is good that Council undertake a trial to attempt control in some places to see what control can be achieved,” he says.

Otorohanga District Council have started a chemical mowing trial to try to control and eradicate yellow bristle grass.

Happy hunting for Brooks

Competing at Equitana Auckland on Saturday, Natasha Brooks flew through the flags aboard Twerk to take victory in the Harrison Lane Grand Prix.

The Cambridge rider had two in the 13-strong class – her purpose-bred warmblood thoroughbred cross Twerk and her brother Nick’s Versace C. A tight-turning indoor track tested the combinations with eight coming back for the second round. Clear in the opener were Natasha with both Twerk and Versace C, Samantha Peters (Cambridge) aboard Caesar NZPH, teen Leeshelle Small (Auckland) on Glenbrooke Archie Bunker, Elmo Jackson (Auckland) with Fairview Animation, and Lucy Olphert on her home-bred mare Eve Saint Laurent. Joining them in the second round were eight-faulters Glen Beal (Te Kauwhata) aboard All Expenses of Renton and Samantha Matthews (Cambridge) with Adloo Annabelle.

The planks at the last in the second round proved the undoing of a few including Natasha aboard Versace C who came flying into the fence after slicing corners where there seemed to be no space, only to pick up four faults but still be good enough for fourth.

“I only decided a week ago to come to Equitana and it worked out so well,” said Natasha. “This is just a fantastic event to be a part of. The surface couldn’t have been any better and I think Equitana Auckland is such a cool initiative bringing equestrian into the middle of the city like they do overseas for a real Natasha Brooks and Twerk. showcase.”

Free flights for quick Aussie horses

Cambridge Raceway is luring Australian raiders to compete in their two feature races over summer with the chance of free travel home.

The first Australian-based runners home in Turf Bar Flying Mile Trot Christmas Eve and the McMillian

Enjoy your Christmas dinner!

Equine Feeds Flying Mile Pace on January 10 will receive complimentary flights home flying IRT. Both races carry a $50,000 purse.

“We would love to have some international competition in our two biggest races of the season,” said Cambridge Raceway CEO Dave Branch.

“We think it’s a realistic possibility this year with several Australian runners likely to be in the region for the IRT Inter Dominion races already.”

Australian-based runners competing at Cambridge Raceway, outside of the bi-annual Harness Jewels meeting, are rare. However, Victorian-based Kiwi Brent

Lilley did train Kyvalley Blur to win Turf Bar Flying Mile Trot two years ago.

The McMillian Equine Feeds Flying Mile Pace has never been won by an Australian horse but its honour roll includes Young Quinn, Delightful Lady, Christian Cullen, Homes DG, Elsu, Auckland Reactor and Lazarus.

Meanwhile, Waikato Bay of Plenty Harness have purchased the lease of The Clubhouse Sports Bar and Café, at Cambridge Raceway, where it races.

“Cambridge Raceway had been leasing The Clubhouse to outside operators for the past 11 years,” Branch said.

“We’ve developed a strategic plan with the help

of our accountants Deloitte Hamilton and during that process we identified the repurchase of The Clubhouse lease as a key opportunity to drive revenue.

“This purchase gives us full control of the on-course experience for our patrons, creates synergies with our current bar operation and as an already profitable business it creates a great platform for us to grow off.”

Waikato Bay of Plenty Harness will take over the lease on December 10, Branch said it would be business as usual at The Clubhouse until mid-January when a complete re-brand and interior upgrade will take place.

Les Liddington and Pat Oliver have been crowned Te Awamutu Bowling Club’s mixed pairs champions.

The series attracted 11 teams. Six qualified but were reduced to five when Richard and Glenda Death withdrew due to health reasons.

Liddington and Oliver beats Denise Te Momo and Chen Naude 18-10 on the 17th end. In the other semi final John Apeldoorn produced two brilliant final bowls in a topsy-turvey game to first take against Daphne Finn and Clark Ambury to an extra end, then, with partner Jilly Stewart, win the match.

Apeldoorn and Stewart were ahead 11-4 on the 10th end, but were 14-12 on the final end.

Apeldoorn produced no such heroics in the final as

FRIDAY NOVEMBER 29, 2019

Cameron hopes for positive prognosis Leading jockey Matt Cameron is nervously waiting to hear how much of the lucrative summer racing period he will spend watching from the sidelines.

Cameron was injured after riding Visenya to a fifth-placed finish at New Plymouth

last Friday and was booked in to see a knee specialist then.

“I came back, dismounted and started taking the saddle off the horse, and then she just brushed her back legs against one of those little hedges they have on the sides of

Bombay’s star run raises questions Trainer Jamie Richards is in two minds about what to do with impressive maiden winner Star Of Bombay (pictured below) who opened her winning account with a dominant victory over 1200m at Te Rapa on Sunday.

The Atlante filly settled nicely outside early leader O’Charm in the early stages before exerting her authority over the closing 200m where she went to the line a comfortable four length winner in a slick 1.09.88 for the 1200m journey.

Placed second on debut at Avondale earlier in the month, Star Of Bombay showed the benefit of that raceday experience which pleased her trainer who had been concerned about the wide barrier draw she had to contend with.

“We had her entered for a few races and meetings as we looked to get a good barrier for her but we couldn’t seem to strike one,” Richards said.

“In the end there looked to be a fair bit of pace inside her so I thought if she could slide across early on, she might get a nice trip outside the speed and that is exactly how it panned out “She showed some nice stretch in the last bit so it was a good win.”

Although the filly holds a nomination for the Gr.1 Levin Classic (1600m) at Trentham in January, Richards is more of the mind to keep her to the sprint distances for the foreseeable future.

“I do think she is a short, sharp type that is best suited over 1200m and the like,” he said.

“We put in a nomination for the Levin Classic but I’m in two minds if she can get 1600m. We’ll see how she comes through today and then look around for her next run but at the moment a race like the Mr Tiz Trophy (Gr.3, 1200m) on Karaka Million night in January might be more suitable for her.

“Dave (Ellis) bought her for $50,000 at

the Ready To Run Sale last year and she has a great bunch of owners in her so I can see them having plenty of fun along the way.”

Another impressive maiden winner on display was four-year-old Peace Train who dashed home over the final stages of his 1400m contest to score in fine fashion.

Having just his third start, the Russell and Robyn Rogers-bred and trained gelding had caught the eye with a comfortable trial win at Taupo earlier in the month.

“We’ve always liked him but he’s just taken time to put it all together,” Robyn Rogers said.

“We had him ready to go as a late threeyear-old but the tracks had turned so his two runs were in the wet which just doesn’t suit him.

“He got a good track at the trials and really showed what he could do. Lynsey (Satherley) rode him that day and told me afterwards there weren’t many horses that could let down like he did so we were quite confident of a good run when we got him to the races.

“There looked to be a bit of a front runners bias before the race so we weren’t that concerned if he didn’t win, but in the end, he put them away well which is very exciting.”

Rogers and her husband will now look at a rating 65 1400m back at Te Rapa next month as their immediate target for Peace Train who became sire Niagara’s 17th individual winner. That success is music to the ears of the couple who are shareholders in Niagara, who currently stands for a fee of $5,000 at The Oaks Stud.

“We paraded Niagara at our place when he first came to New Zealand and really loved what we saw,” Rogers said.

“We ended up taking shares in him and have bred some lovely horses to him.

“Time will tell but Peace Train could go on to do some big things as a stayer which will be great for us and his sire as well.”

the ‘first’ to ‘sixth’ stalls,” Cameron said.

“She got a bit of a fright and lunged forward, then kicked with both barrels. She got me in the knee, and straight away I felt something happen, whether it was a pull or a tear to a ligament, I’m not sure yet. But I’ve had it x-rayed and at least there’s no fracture.

The injury has already proven costly, with Leith Innes taking the mount on two-year-old colt Unition and winning Saturday’s Listed FastTrack Insurance 5K Bonus 2YO Stakes (1100m) at Pukekohe.

“Obviously it’s a bad time of year to have something like this happen,” Cameron said.

“I’ve been riding a few winners lately and getting on some good horses.

“Fingers crossed for some good news this week. Hopefully, if it’s not too bad, I might only be out for a few weeks. I might even be able to make it back by Christmas, as long as I’m careful and don’t do anything too silly.”

Cameron has won 19 races this season including the Gr.3 Gold Trail Stakes (1200m) on Aretha and this month’s Gr.2 Coupland’s Bakeries Mile (1600m) on True Enough, who looms as a leading contender for the Gr.1 Captain Cook Stakes (1600m) at Trentham on December 7.

Sweet on Christmas

It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas.

There’s a touch of tension in the air. Who is coming to the Christmas feast? Why won’t the family make up their minds?

It’s often a bit awkward with families. Some live in different towns; there are the in-laws, siblings and cousins to consider. What are we going to eat? Why don’t you all just bring a plate!

However, I’m not one for being caught short and the following recipes can all be prepared in advance.

Pavlovas are great — especially the storebought ones as they keep for weeks without their topping. Instead of whipped cream, try piling scoops of salted caramel ice cream on top then drizzling with a little melted chocolate.

Meringues are a pantry staple. Sandwich together with whipped cream and pile in a tower on a serving plate then garnish with fresh berries. Or crumble into whipped cream together with mini marshmallows and fresh berries = ambrosia.

Crepes can also be prepared ahead — then frozen. They can be reheated in the microwave and served with flambéed stone fruit or filled with a mixture of lemon curd and cream fraiche, then rolled and topped with limonata ice cream.

FESTIVE PUMPKIN PIE Can be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge, then garnish.

Short Pastry: 2 cups plain flour 1/4 teaspoon salt 125 g butter, chopped

2 tablespoons icing sugar 1 egg, lightly beaten Filling: 570g peeled and seeded pumpkin, chopped 395g can sweetened condensed milk 3 medium eggs 2 teaspoons ground mixed spice 1/4 teaspoon salt Preheat the oven to 220°C. Lightly grease an 18cm round pie dish with 6cm deep sides Place the flour, salt, butter and icing sugar in a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Process until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. With the motor running, add the egg. When the mixture forms a ball, remove, wrap in plastic film and chill for at least 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, microwave or bake the pumpkin, until tender. Keep it as dry as possible.

Roll out the chilled pastry to form a 30cm disc. Line the pie dish with the pastry and trim the edges. Pat a sheet of foil over the pastry ensuring all the pastry is covered.

Weigh down with pastry weights, if preferred. Bake for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, mash the pumpkin well. Sieve if required. Measure 1 cup of the mash.

Whisk the cooled pumpkin, condensed milk, eggs, mixed spice and salt in a large bowl, until smooth. Pour into the crust.

Reduce the oven temperature to 180°C and bake for 35-40 minutes until a knife inserted 3cm from the edge comes out clean. When cool the centre will firm up. Chill in the fridge.

meringues and fresh berries. Serves 6-8.

BANOFFEE CHEESECAKE Bananas and toffee — a classic combo.

The cheesecake can be covered tightly and frozen for up to 1 month.

Base: 250g plain biscuits (gluten-free if preferred) 75g butter, melted Filling: 150g peeled very ripe bananas 2 medium eggs, separated 500g traditional cream cheese, chopped 1/2 cup sugar 1 1/2 tablespoons cornflour 1 teaspoon vanilla essence.

Topping: 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 cup water 75g dark chocolate, melted Preheat the oven to 180°C. Lightly grease a 20cm springform cake pan and line the base with baking paper.

Crush the biscuits finely and combine with the butter. Press evenly onto the base of the cake pan. Bake for 15 minutes then remove and cool slightly.

Reduce the oven temperature to 170°C. Place the bananas and egg yolks in a food processor and mix until smooth. Add the cream cheese, sugar, cornflour and vanilla essence. Mix until smooth. Tip into a large bowl.

Whip the egg whites until stiff. Using a large spoon, fold into the banana mixture. Tip onto the biscuit base and smooth the top.

Bake for 40-45 minutes, until just set. It will firm on cooling.

Remove from the oven and run a thin sharp knife around the edge. Cool for 30 minutes then cover and chill overnight.

To make the toffee, place the sugar and water in a large, microwave-proof glass bowl. Microwave on high for 2 minutes. Stir to dissolve the sugar. Continue microwaving for 3-4 minutes until the liquid is light golden. Remove — the toffee will continue to colour on standing. Pour in a thin layer onto a lightly oiled sheet of foil. Cool. Break into shards.

Before serving, drizzle a little chocolate in lines over the top of the cheese cake and allow to set. Garnish with the toffee shards.

Serves 8.

MULLED PLUMS & CHERRIES Prepare up to two days in advance.

1 1/2 cups merlot or cabernet/merlot wine 1/4 cup water 3/4 cup sugar 1 each: cinnamon stick, star anise 1 strip orange peel 6-8 red plums 200g pitted fresh cherries In a large saucepan, heat the wine, water, sugar, cinnamon stick, star anise and orange peel until the sugar dissolves. Halve and stone the plums. Poach the fruit in the wine mixture until just tender.

Remove the fruit with a slotted spoon to a bowl. Boil the liquid rapidly for 10 minutes.

Cool, strain and pour over the fruit. Chill well. Serves 6-8.

FRIDAY NOVEMBER 29, 2019

Things to do this weekend

Movies…

Sylvia’s Toaster Ukulele Band will perform at the Kihikihi Anglican Church Hall this Sunday from 2pm. Gold coin entry. Concert followed by afternoon tea sponsored by local businesses, and a silent auction with two Christmas hampers and a Tim Finn-signed ukulele, funds going to Kihikihi School.

The Kihikihi Speedway will host round three of the seven-series DVS Super Saloon Challenge this Saturday evening, 5pm 9pm. The event also features the V8 Saloon Series with NZ champion Ethan Cook, and the Oval Superstars Tour, featuring stockcars and ministocks. Gates open 3pm, racing starts 5pm.

The Otorohanga Christmas Market 2019 is set to take place this Sunday, 9am – 2pm on the Village Green, Maniapoto St, Otorohanga. Featuring fun family entertainment and stalls set up along the main street, selling Christmas gifts galore.

The event will go ahead rain or shine, organised by Fun-Raising Chicks Waikato.

THE ADDAMS FAMILY Members of the mysterious and spooky Addams family, Gomez, Morticia, Pugsley, Wednesday, Uncle Fester and Grandma, are readily preparing for a visit from their even creepier relatives.

But trouble soon arises when shady TV personality Margaux Needler realizes that the Addams' eerie hilltop mansion is standing in the way of her dream to sell all the houses in the neighbourhood.

FROZEN 2 After a prophecy from the trolls, Elsa, Anna, Olaf, Kristoff and Sven go on a quest to save Arendelle. They journey to the Enchanted Forest where their fate awaits them.

Very entertaining and emotional. An exciting story that follows Elsa as they discover the origin of her powers.

Frozen 2 definitely have you wanting to come back for more. Stay until the end of the credits, you won't be disappointed.
