Pair mark 70 yearsPeter and Lois Selfcelebrate platinummilestone

continued on A3

L ike many young people oftheir generation Lois Riddelland Peter Self loved the bigband sound of the 1940s —

especially when it was played for oneof the regular dances.

It was at Rotorua’s Ritz Hall inFenton St over seven decades agothat apprentice mechanic Peter andshop assistant Lois first met.

Yesterday the couple celebratedtheir platinum wedding anniversarywith their family and were able tolook back on their 70 years together.

Peter was born in Pukekohe, butapart from the first six months of his90 plus years of life has lived in andaround Te Awamutu.

His father came here to work asa fat stock buyer for W & R Fletcher.

Peter recalls the family lived inMahoe St for many years and therewere just paddocks down to thestream. One of his jobs was to milkthe house cow.

When he left school he took up afive year apprenticeship as amechanic with Rotorua EngineeringCompany, a firm that specialised inheavy transport, building andmaintaining their own bus fleet(bought out by Road Services NZ),building heavy trailers and servicingtrucks.

Luckily this brought about themeeting at the Ritz.

Lois was an only child and whenshe left school worked in a shopwhich specialised in baby clothingand needlework.

She was skilled in sewing andknitting and used to teach those skillsto other women. Her knitting andteaching skills were also utilised tohelp rehabilitate World War IIsoldiers at Rotorua’s Queen ElizabethHospital.

Lois says she knew a little aboutTe Awamutu when she and Peterbecame a couple. During the war herfather, a builder, had his equipmentand services commandeered to buildthe Royal New Zealand Air Forcestores near Waipa Racecourse.

She also knew some of the localmarching girls from the Rochdaleclub as she marched for RotoruaRoyalettes and they often competedagainst each other.

Peter returned to Te Awamutuafter finishing his apprenticeship andimmediately went into the horsetransport business with his brother.

Not long after he proposed to hissweetheart and on July 29, 1950 thecouple were married at St JohnsPresbyterian Church in Rotorua.

The Selfs lived in Te Rahu Rd neartheir business base and soon became

involved in the community.Peter joined the Waipa Masonic

Lodge, and will be honoured soon astheir longest standing member — also70 years.

The couple had two children, Garyand Kate, and were soon involvedwith the establishment of a newschool and on the first PekerauSchool committee.

Peter recalls getting a ‘telling off’from the Education Board after heorganised a group of well-to-doparents to guarantee a bank loan andwent about building the school pool.

He was told schools weren’tallowed to borrow money, but bythen the pool was in.

Peter said it was a great move andthousands of local school childrenlearnt to swim and enjoyed coolingoff in summer at Pekerau’s pool.

Previously the couple had beeninvolved in establishing akindergarten as their young childrengrew up.

“It’s just what you did back then,”says Lois.

Shovel ready — and hopeful

Jim Mylchreest Waipamayor

C entral Government is now in theprocess of announcing the projectsthat have been accepted as ‘shovelready’ and where there is funding

support to stimulate growth and createemployment. Many of you will recall that shortlyafter Covid-19 lockdown, Central Governmentrequested that councils across the country putforward any projects that would benefit fromexternal funding and could commence almostimmediately.

The timeframe for lodging this schedule ofworks was extremely tight and Council only hada couple of weeks to identify suitable projects.

Staff worked extremely hard during thelockdown to prepare project briefs — coveringa description of the project, the problem beingaddressed, the key benefits, projected timelinesand rough order of costs.

Staff reviewed our Long Term Plan andidentified all of the projects that were plannedover the next 10 years, which ones could beadvanced if funding was available and whichhad the ability to create employment and addvalue to the district. A large number of theseprojects related to essential infrastructure and

particularly the works required for the threewaters infrastructure.

There was, however, an additional trancheof work for community facilities estimated tocost approximately $25 million.

These community facilities are spreadacross the district and include the improvementof many of our parks and reserves,playgrounds, public toilets and cemeteries.

As well as these, there are a numberconservation and heritage projects that willinvolve a great deal of planting of esplanadestrips and restoration areas in the expectationof creating employment and improving theenvironment.

Time did not allow for fully developedcostings and this was not expected by CentralGovernment in the first instance.

The first cut rough order of costs wererequired to include an estimate of costs basedon fees and charges from professionaladvisers, Council costs, consents and actualconstruction costs.

The Council costs included communications,consultation, iwi engagement, governance andinternal staff costs.

As a result of including the costs of iwiengagement there has been some adversepublicity over the need and cost of thisengagement. The costs put forward areestimates based on recent similar engagementprocesses but have by no means been firmlyestablished. The cost will obviously relate tothe scale of the individual projects and the

impact they will have on iwi interests.This consultation process is no more than

is required by the various statutes administeredby Council and is required for the publicgenerally.

I have no doubt that the initial time and costsof projects could be reduced if communityconsultation was not required but I am alsocertain that the end result would not be soacceptable to the community. As usual it is easyto quantify costs but not so easy to quantifythe benefits, particularly of public goods suchas parks and reserves, cultural and heritageprojects.

All of the projects put forward by Council,except Te Ara Wai, were accepted by CentralGovernment for consideration in the first stageof the assessment.

All waters infrastructure projects werestripped out of the application and will beconsidered in a separate funding roundassociated with the review on how waterservices will be delivered in the future.

There was a huge over-subscription of localprojects for the amount of funds set aside byCentral Government so it is highly unlikely thatWaipa will be fully funded.

Announcements on successful projects arebeing rolled out across the country on astaggered basis for obvious reasons leading upto the general elections.

We will keep you advised of the outcomesas soon as we know but in the meantime keepan eye out for senior ministers in our district.

Platinum for Peter and Lois

Newlyweds peter and Lois Self on their wedding day in1950.

continued from A1

The couple also got involvedin the Te Awamutu RoseSociety thanks to a neigh-bour — noted rosarian andTe Awamutu parkssupervisor Alf Smart.

The Selfs had beenbeautifying theircommercial property andhome by growing climbingroses — helped by fertiliserfrom mucking out thestables.

Alf was quick to correctLois about proper climbingrose growing techniqueswhen she tried intertwiningthem through the fence.

They became goodfriends and Peter and Loiswere foundation membersof the Te Awamutu Societywhen it formed in 1958 andhighly involved in thecreation of Te AwamutuRose Gardens in 1969. Peteris a life member of thesociety and still a trustee ofthe Rose Society Trust.

The couple were also ableto continue their love ofmusic and dancing.

Lois says all the localcouples would get togetherfor parties then head off tothe regular dances in the TeAwamutu Town Hall.

Peter and Bob Hinton alsocalled a meeting to discussforming a club for the town,and soon the Te AwamutuClub was formed andopened with Peter as firstvice-president.

In 1963 the Selfs sold theirbusiness to Majestic HorseFloats. They are proud thecompany is still operating

and under the Selfs’ originalcolours.

The family shifted out oftown to Pokuru after Peterwas able to use the cashfrom the business sale tofreehold a 500 acre (200ha)block of land and also buythe neighbouring dairy farm.

Peter broke in thefreehold land andestablished a large farm.

With the farm going well,Peter was asked to go intothe liquor business with hisfriend Dick Robb.

He declined, but didinvest in what became Te

Awamutu Wine and Spiritsto help his mate out.

As a shareholder he wasable to buy the businessoutright after his friend died,and he sold the Pokuru farmand moved back into townto progress his next venture.

The liquor store was onRoche St, but Peter had avision for a better buildingand better location.

He purchased land onSloane St and built what isstill operating as SuperLiquor Te Awamutu.

They were also trying tobuild a new home in

Greenhill Drive at the time,but put that on hold andrented for a while to get thebusiness established.

Eventually the familyhome was also completed —the home Peter and Lois stillenjoy today.

Peter built Te AwamutuWine and Spirits into a bigbusiness and also investedin a farm at Parawera, whichis managed.

Socialising with friendsremained a passion as theirchildren grew up, left home,married and eventually hadtheir own children.

The couple recall manygreat evenings of dancing,card games and parties attheir home, or friends.

“We enjoyed our life andalso got stuck in to localprojects and tried to helpmake the town better,” saysPeter.

They also enjoyed lakeand beach holidays, anotherpassion being both trout andsaltwater fishing.

Lois says they have beenlucky in life — lucky to findeach other and lucky theyare still together in their ownhome after 70 years andlucky to have a wonderfulfamily. Peter and Lois haveseven grandchildren andtwo great-grandchildren —who might also feel lucky.

The Selfs have both a lakeand beach holiday home thefamily use more than themand, for his recent birthday,Peter ‘shouted’ himself anew fishing boat he says hiskids and grandkids will beable to easily handle andenjoy.

■ LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Double dippingWhilst your next water bill is for adouble period, you will only be issueda single bill probably, and your meterhas only been read once.

In my opinion you should onlyhave one administration chargeapplied, with some allowance for thenetwork charge to cover the doubleperiod.

You should not be charged two fulladministration charges on a user-pays system when the services havenot been fulfilled.

If you agree, you should make apoint of raising your concerns withCouncil and objecting to the charges.

Hayden Woods

Predetermined viewIn my honest opinion it wasdisappointing to see the Page 2 of lastweek’s Te Awamutu Courier thatclearly showed the mayor hasalready made up his mind in regardsto what should be happening to theMemorial Park in Te Awamutu.

Will his statement/opinioninfluence the rest of the councillorsto follow his thinking?

Will the column prohibit themayor to have a vote in the decisionas I believe this represents apredetermined point of view?

Question to all the elected peopleof the council: Did you read all thesubmissions?

You should read them, after all thatis your job, isn’t it?

Do residents actually know howthe submissions are being dealt with?

Will a team of council staff dissectall the data and councillors get asummary?

Having done a submission myself,I found the wording slanted towardsthe proposed change.

There was no option at all to “justmaintain the park as it should havebeen in the first place”.

Bernard Westerbaan

Unwise decisionWith reference to the column youpublished from Waipa Mayor JimMylchreest in last Thursday’s edition,it would appear the decision to forgeahead with the new plans for theMemorial Park are a foregoneconclusion.

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist tobe able to read through the lines hehas written to show the whole ideais virtually a done deal.

The writing is on the wall.I would like to ask, and I feel I have

the right to do so, not only as aratepayer, but as a family memberwhose grandfather made a largemonetary contribution towards thepurchase of the land that wassubsequently gifted to our town, howeach and every councillor is going tovote on this matter.

Maybe they could each provide acouple of sentences as to why theyhave decided to vote the way theyare.

When this land was given over byseveral families who had made verygenerous donations, there was one

condition — that Waipa DistrictCouncil keep the park in good repairand look after it.

Given the circumstances, that wasnot a huge ask.

If previous councils had had thedecency to honour the undertakinggiven at the time, the park would notbe in the state it is in now.

What I find hard to understand isthe park was named Te AwamutuDistrict War Memorial Park.

These words, war memorial,seemed to have got lost in a pile ofbiased submission papers which aregoing to be interpreted exactly as thecouncil wished them to be.

The fate of the park was decidedlong before any of these papers werecirculated.

Downsizing the rose gardens orputting in a traffic access bridgecannot be compared with council’sgrand plan to uproot history.

You are just not listening.When it comes to looking in Te

Awamutu’s town archives andhistory in a few years I would not beproud of being the mayor or anymember of the present council forbeing responsible for this veryunwise decision.

Jean Warburton

Listen to ratepayersIt was with interest that I read MayorJim Mylchreest’s comments aboutthe submissions received in regard tothe proposed concept plans for ourWar Memorial Park.

He stated that very carefulconsideration would be given tothem.

I sincerely hope in doing so heconsiders the strong messageratepayers of Te Awamutu areconveying to council in theirsubmissions.

Do we as ratepayers have no sayabout what decisions are made aboutour park or has council already madea decision?

Rowena McChesney

What growth?The council want to build a massiveroundabout in Te Awamutu.

This because they are opening upland for housing.

This growth cell, like the others, iscausing massive peripheral costs tothe ratepayers.

The land is to be developed forhousing.

But we the ratepayers have to payfor all this extra work for these cellsto fit in, with access to the main roadand town, etc.

I would have thought thatAuckland would be a good exampleof why not to push populationgrowth.

We have already shelled outmillions on a water pipeline to pushthis growth in Te Awamutu becausethe water source on Pirongia isinsufficient.

They say the project will be paidby the extra revenue from rates.Maybe replace with . . . “funded bygrowth”?

What growth?There is no growth at present, as

Council has anticipated an 18 per centdecline in growth in the recentlyrevised Annual Plan — so you canguarantee existing ratepayers will bepaying for it not ‘growth’ as suggestedby council.

Bernie Fynn (Abridged)

Install water tanksInteresting conversation on waterrates in last week’s issue.

It really is time for New Zealandto start thinking ahead, if not alreadydoing so.

All new housing, for instance,should include the installation of awater tank.

I believe many property permitsituations (if they still exist) requirea large drain holding pit/hole toaccommodate substantial heavyrainfall to ease sudden river and landflooding that occurs.

The business and employmentthat can grow out of this concept(tank with new housing) will be large.

A question for engineers out there.Why don’t we have a number of

pumping stations leading from theWaikato “down river” pumping waterback into Lake Taupo?

Per volume, New Zealand surelymust use very little of the totalamount of water reaching the ocean?

David Fletcher

Stop deceitful habitsI am disturbed by the recentdisclosure that Waipa District Councilhas been inflating project budgets byas much as 8 per cent for iwiengagement.

Why is council willingly givingaway our rates money when it shouldbe used for its purpose and not as“hush” money?

Rates should benefit us all.Is this why council only reduced

the proposed average rates increaseby as little as 0.3 per cent, so that theycan use money to win votes onfavours?

I have never been in favour of paidunelected officials on council.

I have nothing against themproviding free advice or consultationon projects as long as the finaldecision is left to thosedemocratically elected — whomonitor and guarantee to the peoplethat this is what is happening.

I do, however, object to their rightto vote and to be paid for thesemeetings when they have never beenvoted on officially by the people andnow they are being just given moneyby our wasteful council.

When will this wasteful spendingand deceitful habits stop?

Chamber holds its first Ladies NightBusiness women gather for event

The Ladies Night was held at thePeach and Porker and it is just thefirst of many to come.

T e Awamutu businesswomen gathered last weekfor the Te AwamutuChamber of Commerce’s

first ever Ladies Night.The Ladies Night event was held

at the Peach and Porker, who wereone sponsor of the event, and guestswere treated to nibbles, a guestspeaker and a whisky tasting.

The purpose of the event, startedby television anchor and LadyDrinksco-founder Joya Dass, is to bringwomen together to celebratevictories and to motivate women toachieve their goals.

The idea to bring the event to TeAwamutu was Harshmeen Kaur’s,who is treasurer at the Te AwamutuChamber of Commerce.

Harshmeen says she was inspiredto bring such an event to thecommunity because being from Indiashe explained that women there donot get the same privileges as womendo here.

“A lot has changed for me since Imoved to this country and I’ve seenthat a lot of women around here wantto do so much but they don’t alwayshave the opportunity or motivationto do it,” says Harshmeen.

“The Ladies Night is to bring us alltogether and celebrate our victoriesand our lives.”

The guest speaker for the eventwas Chantelle Good, founder of TheGood PA and chairperson of TeAwamutu Chamber of Commerce.

Chantelle told guests about howwhen she was 24 her kidneys failedand she was on dialysis for eightyears. One time she got really sick and

was in hospital for a number of weekswhich resulted in her having to leaveher job.

She says it was this health momentthat pushed her to start her ownbusiness.

“That health moment was definingfor me and it gave me the push Ineeded to actually start a business,which I had always wanted to do, butsometimes life just goes on and I justcruised along working my 9-3 job,”says Chantelle.

Chantelle went fulltime with theGood PA in 2015, running it solely byherself and from her home.

The business has now grown to ateam of five working from their officespace on Market St.

She also got a kidney transplantlast year and was able to stop dialysis,which she was usually doing for 20hours a week.

“That gave me some time back andreally made me realise how time isour most precious recourse and thatwe have to use it wisely,” saysChantelle.

In between Harshmeen andChantelle speaking, founder of onlineliquor shop EightPm and mainsponsor of the Ladies Night, AshParmar, conducted a whiskey tasting.

Guests tasted three whiskeysduring the night which includedJamesons Caskmates Whiskey,Buffalo Trace Bourbon andMcClelland’s Speyside Single Malt.

The Te Awamutu Chamber ofCommerce is hoping to host a LadiesNight each month in Te Awamutuand Harshmeen and Chantelle hopethat more women will come to thenext one.

“Our theme is to bring women

together, to inspire them to do goodin the community and hopefully youwill all leave this event feeling happyand will want to come to the nextone,” says Chantelle.

“We are going to be having moreof these events so keep your eye out,we think they’re going to be prettypopular.”

Council waste minimisation officerSally Fraser said it was encouragingto see so many locals attending theevents, engaging in conversationsand looking for ways to reduce theircontribution to plastic waste.

“There are a lot of people in Waipawho are very keen to reduce theamount of plastic they use and to livemore sustainably, which is fantastic.

“The key is to start off with makingsmall, simple changes such as usinga beeswax wrap for your sandwicheach day rather than cling film orusing a reusable produce bag insteadof the single use plastic bags.”

Sally said it was important to focus

on reducing or reusing plastic itemsbefore recycling them.

“We’ve got a great recyclingsystem here in Waipa but the bestway to make the biggest impact on

how much waste goes to landfill isby reducing or reusing plastics.Recycling should be a last resort afterthese options.”

In Waipa, only plastic types 1, 2 and

5, paper, cardboard, tins and cans canbe recycled in the yellow wheelie bin,and glass in the blue wheelie bin.

All recycling must be clean andempty.

Speed limitsproposedfor statehighwaysThe public is being invited to havetheir say on safer speed limits onthree state highways withinHamilton.

Public consultation opens todayon Waka Kotahi NZ TransportAgency’s proposed changes to speedlimits on State Highways 1, 3 and 26within Hamilton City.

The SH3 proposals would directlyaffect Te Awamutu motorists drivingto and from the city.

The agency says making surespeed limits are safe and appropriatefor the road is one of the best thingsWaka Kotahi can do to help preventdeaths and serious injuries.

“No matter what causes a crash,speed is always a factor in theseverity. Put simply, the speed ofimpact can be the difference betweenwalking away or being carried awayfrom a crash,” director regionalrelationships Steve Mutton says.

“There have been 10 people killedand 60 seriously injured in crasheson these roads in the 10 yearsbetween 2009 and 2018. In 2019, theWaikato region had the highestnumber of road deaths in the countryand we need to do something to turnthis around.

“There are many cyclists,pedestrians and a greater mix ofvehicle types using the state highwaynetwork in this urban environment,which creates safety issues foreveryone. Ensuring safer speed limitsis a relatively simple way to helpreduce those safety risks for all roadusers.”

Hamilton City Council managesand implements speed limit changeson local roads within the city, whileWaka Kotahi manages speed limitchanges for the state highwaynetwork.

The two organisations have beenworking together on safety includingspeed management. Hamilton CityCouncil’s speed management plan isprogressively being rolled out acrossthe city.

This speed review on the statehighways in the urban area by WakaKotahi is consistent with the council’sapproach to speed on the local roads.

At a recent InfrastructureOperations Committee meeting,Hamilton City councillors had thechance to debate the proposedchanges and were generallysupportive of the proposal by WakaKotahi. Council will be making asubmission during the consultationperiod which closes on August 21

Formal public consultation on theproposed changes to speed limits onSH1, SH3 and SH26 will run from untilAugust 21.

D espite the challenges ofCovid-19, members andguests at the annual generalmeeting of Pirongia Te

Aroaro o Kahu Restoration Societyheard how there were some benefitsfor the environment and how well thegroup had adapted.

The AGM was held earlier thismonth, with the usual great turnoutof committee members andvolunteers as well as guest speakers.

Opening the evening wasProfessor Bruce Clarkson, who spokeabout the challenges presented bythe Covid-19 lockdown toconservation efforts and emphasisingthe need to prioritise our whenuanow more than ever.

After seeing the positive effectslockdown has had on nature and theenvironment, he urged us all to bemore mindful of our actions, lest werevert back to our destructive habits.

Society chair Clare St Pierre,highlighted the year for the group inher annual report.

The main key points were:■ The challenges posed by Covid-19lockdown and having to adaptquickly and explore online optionsfor meetings and engaging withvolunteers, including a successfulphotographic competition.■ The group is now in their 14th yearof annual pest control using baitstations across 1030ha of the maungatargeting rats and possums. Mustelidtrapping has also begun on the thanksto the hard work of Richard Still, GregHill, Brian Bowell, Tom Davies andtheir teams.■ This season saw only single

nesting attempts by four breedingkokako pair which was probably dueto the drought conditions oversummer and autumn, 100 per cent ofnests fledged chicks successfully,adding seven chicks to ourpopulation.■ They had the largest volunteernumbers ever this year for bait stationfilling at Okahukura, allowing theentire 1000ha bait station grid to beserviced in one day. Their effortshave seen rat indices reduce from 38per cent to 9 per cent this season.■ They employed their first staffmember and welcomed to the teamGemma Fernihough as operations co-ordinator, thanks to funding fromWaikato Regional Council and TrustWaikato.■ Selwyn June was presented withlife membership and a specialfunction was held to thank him forhis outstanding contribution to thesociety over the years.

Volunteersays 1080best methodof control

i Tristan’s research can be read in full attinyurl.com/yyel7s63

Pirongia Te Aroaro o Kahu Restoration Societymember and volunteer Tom Davies believes theevidence shows 1080 is the best way to controlpests in the wild and save endangered speciesand habitat.

“We encourage our children to study science,to qualify and to work in the science fields,however, when they tell us what is best practicea significant number of us would rather believesocial media and the other sources ofunscientific information — misinformation,” hesays.

“1080 is the best tool we have for saving ourunique, endangered native species in theextensive areas such as the other 13,000hectares of Pirongia that are not at presentintensively baited.

“Pirongia Te Aroaro o Kahu RestorationSociety is always looking for more volunteersso we may extend the intensively baited areawhich amongst other benefits enables us toreduce the area where 1080 is used.

“If we take the time to observe, our children,today’s scientists, are telling us what is bestpractice, but a number of us prefer to believethe misinformation.”

Tom prefers to believe science, such as thework of Tristan Rawlence, a post-graduatestudent at the University of Otago.

In his zoology masters thesis, which wassupported by DoC, Tristan looked at landscapescale alpine predator control.

His thesis supports the ongoing andincreased use of aerial 1080 pest control for theboost it brings to small birds and biodiversity.

“Endangered rock wren populations willbenefit greatly from an increased use of 1080,”he says.

DoC’s 1080 plan draws opposition

F riday’s 1080 awarenesscampaign in Te Awamutuattracted a number of peoplekeen to show their

opposition to the use of 1080 for pestcontrol by the Department ofConservation (DoC).

A 1080 operation is due to startnext month in Pirongia Forest Parkand Te Kauri park reserve.

Some Pirongia locals areconcerned that information beingsent out about the aerial 1080 dropis conflicting.

Kristal Waitoa, with the help froma Waikato Regional councillor, foundthat DoC had issued two start datesfor the operation and it is still unclearwhen the operation would begin.

A DoC fact sheet stated that the

operation would start on July 1 whilethe DoC pesticides summary mapsaid that it would start August 1.

She sent an email of enquiry onthe matter to DoC on July 10 and isstill waiting for a response.

Upon further investigation, Kristalalso learned that EcoFx werecontracted to carry out the operation.

She says that EcoFx received aformal warning for not submitting areport to the EPA about an operation

for Waikato Regional Council thatkilled sheep, deer and cattle beast.

Kristal has sent an additional emailto DoC regarding this matter and iswanting to know if EcoFx declaredthe compliance breach when

submitting their tender for thePirongia pest control contract.

She is still awaiting a response.“It is important that landowners,

locals and the community are awareof all this information,” says Kristal.

Getting to know residents,

the team, and some home

renovation are all on the

cards for new Bupa St Kilda Care

Home Manager Penny Dine. The

manager, who was previously at

the Bupa care home in Remuera

Auckland, has a background in

nursing and eight years care home

management to her name. The

Registered Nurse worked in both

the primary and secondary health

sectors before moving into aged care

more than 20 years ago.

Penny says there’s been many

changes in aged care over the years

but providing quality care and

building relationships are still the

most important foundations.

“It’s all about the strong

relationships we build with both

residents and families because trust

is so important. I also enjoy watching

my team grow and develop into

confident and experienced carers.”

Being new to the Cambridge

area, aft er more than six years in

Auckland, has meant the permanent

move to the region and the purchase

of a small ‘doer-upper’ which she

hopes will inspire her to renovate.

“I’m hoping that my hidden talents

extend to DIY in the coming months.

Although I always remember some

good advice which was to keep calm

and carry on.”

Penny is known for her community

spirit and actively encourages the

locals, including school and musical

groups, to visit the care home.

When not at the Cambridge care

home, Penny’s looking forward to

getting back into her interests of

tramping, gardening and searching

for speciality items at local antique

stores.

“I can’t wait to get to know everyone

in the care home and also the

community. Plus it’s very handy to

have a café for good coff ee within

walking distance too.”

Farmers, growers missing outon newer, greener technology

This benefits not onlyfarmers and growers,but our environment

and health as well.Mark Ross

Mark RossAgcarm chief executive

The Government launched a boldplan to boost primary sector exportearnings by $44 billion over the nextdecade, while protecting the

environment and growing jobs. The plan,launched last month, involves a 10-yearroadmap to unlock greater value for asector vital to New Zealand’s economicrecovery.

As the Minister of Agriculture DamienO’Connor pointed out, there is hugepotential in the roadmap, but it can onlybe achieved through a close governmentpartnership with industry and Maori.

Our animal medicine and cropprotection members are essential to theroadmap’s success.

Not only do they support the agricultureexport industry, they also ensureenvironmental sustainability and a diverserange of positive animal health outcomes.

Examples include prevention of painand suffering, control of diseases, andpreservation of our endemic species.

To ensure the continued availability ofsafe and environmentally friendly products,billions of dollars are spent internationallyby companies researching innovativeproducts.

These products are cleaner, softer, and

more precise in their actions. This benefitsnot only farmers and growers, but ourenvironment and health as well.

To maintain New Zealand’s world-leading farming practices, it is essential tokeep innovating to replace older chemistry.

Trialling new products and offeringfarmers solutions for resistancemanagement and greener options formanaging pests and diseases isnecessary.

Unfortunately, our regulatory

environment is preventing the accelerationof innovative products due to a significantlymore stringent approval process.

Crop protection companies and trialproviders face greater difficulty indeveloping new products.

This blocks the introduction of new and

softer disease management tools to theNew Zealand market, constraining theability of farmers and growers to accessnew products.

The market potential of a crop orlivestock to offer a return-on-investment tojustify trials is becoming increasinglydifficult, despite existing trial programmesbeing a low risk activity.

This makes efforts to find replacementsfor older and more hazardous compoundseven more difficult, particularly for minorspecies.

Every season of trials being lost isslowing access to new actives and labelclaims that are used globally. Researchershave cancelled over 50 trails and missedtwo seasons of trial work due to ourineffective regulation.

Agcarm is working with officials todevelop sensible solutions. In themeantime, farmers and growers aremissing out on products that will increasetheir productivity and be safer to use,including organic and greener alternatives.

If New Zealand wants to achieve thegovernment goal of doubling ouragriculture sector export earnings, whileprotecting the environment and growingjobs, it must encourage innovation and theregistration of new, safer and greenerproducts.

We will then all benefit from healthycrops, healthy animals and a healthycountry.

T he Te AwamutuGisler Premier Teamtook on Unicol at thestadium on Saturday.

The game started well withTe Awamutu having the firsttwo opportunities to open thescoring.

Haydyn Roil almost gotonto the end of a wonderfulmove by the whole team in the12th minute but missingnarrowly at the back post.

Against the run of play,Unicol went on to score in the15th minute, taking a furtherlead at the 20th minute witha well taken header.

In the 42nd minute TeAwamutu conceded again, toa dubious penalty, after whatseemed a good tackle fromcaptain Aaron Mills, that sawhim head off to the sin-bin for10 minutes. The team wentinto the changing rooms athalftime 3-0 down.

Coach Jim Grainger readthe riot act during the interval.Te Awamutu came out to thesecond half creating severalchances, looking by far thebetter side but not quite ableto finish in front of goal, endingin a goalless second half byeither side.

Player of the day was Sean‘Stringy’ Stringfellow, for histenacity at centre back.

Next week Te Awamututravel to Ngaruawahia.

It was a case of the samestory for the Edmonds JuddMen’s Reserves on Saturdaywith a loss to higher rankedMorrinsville.

Injuries and unavailabilityhad already meant managerAndy Bunyan, eligible for hisGold Card in two weeks,deputised in goal and two

further injuries in the first 15minutes meant Te Awamutuwas up against it.

A tame shot thatunexpectedly didn’t deviateopened the scoring and twofurther goals to an electricMorrinsville attack meant a0-3 halftime deficit.

Clever tactical substitutionssaw the team then rallyspiritedly with man of thematch Ronnie Rao, whoimproved markedly after asickening head clash, andCraig Budden botheverywhere in energeticperformances.

Rao conceded a penalty butmind games from the wilyBunyan meant no furtherdamage was done as thesecond half was kept scoreless.

Next Saturday the team areat Galloway Park againstClaudelands Rovers Galaticos.

The Senior Men’s Division 5Team played some of theirbest football working well as ateam on Saturday againstNorthern United.

It was goal to goal and a nailbiter of a game with a score of1-1 at halftime.

Down to 10 players in thesecond half, the young teammanaged to keep the NorthernUnited team at bay until thelast 30 seconds of the game,when the opposing teamscored a goal that took themto 4-3.

Player of the day went toBradley Hirst for outstandingdefence.

The Young team are homeat Anchor Park next Saturdayagainst Claudelands RoversNewbies.

Edmonds Judd Women’sTeam had a slow start with

Cambridge dominating.Three quick Cambridge

strikers were rewarded withan early goal in the 10thminute and headed into thesecond half 1-0 up.

The Edmonds Judd Teamplayed a much morestructured game in the secondhalf and with Cambridgescoring again in the 15thminute kicked Te Awamutuinto gear.

They were rewarded with across from Genevieve Churtonand Chantel Fur to hit homea goal seven minutes later.

Audrey Greening nearlywon the game for them withanother goal that hit the postinstead. They ended the gameat a 2-all draw.

The Crusaders’ 32-34 loss to the Hurricanesproved trouble for all picksters this week.There isn’t much between the competitors with

Harcourts’ Ken McGrath and Strawbridge’s JasonStrawbridge sitting in first place after round 7.

Team Power Chill sneaks into second spot whileTeam Timmo’s, PGG Wrightson’s Andrea Miller andDarren Marsom of Flooring Xtra are third equal with50 per cent correct guesses.

The Gallagher Chiefs are still winless aftersuccumbing to the Blues 21-17 at Eden Park.

Beauden Barrett played number 10 for the Blueswith regularstarterOtereBlacknamedon thebench.This made way at fullback for Matt Duffie whocrossed the line for the Blues in the sixth minuteto grab the lead.

Barrett added the extras to make it 7-0.Eight minutes later, Blues skipper Patrick

Tuipulotu scored. The 120kg lock was boosted overby two teammates. Once again Barrett’s conversionwas successful.

Chiefs’ flankerLachlanBoshierwasnext toscore,a common thing this season for him.

Damian McKenzie converted the try to bring thescore to 14-7.

There were no further points for the next 20minutes of the half so the Blues took the 7 pointlead into halftime.

Not long into the second half, Chiefs midfielderAnton Lienert-Brown drew in the Blues defence andfed theball towingerSolomonAlaimalowhoscored..

McKenzie added the extras to bring it to 14 all.Not long after he slotted a penalty goal to finallyput the Chiefs in front.

However, the lead was short lived with Blueshalfback Finlay Christie diving under the Chiefs

defence to score right on the chalk. Barrett kept hisperfect kicking record for the match with the scoreat 21-17 – what would be the final score.

Chiefs’ replacement former All Black AdamThomson took the field in his 100th Super Rugbyappearance. Thomson, 38, started his Super Rugbyjourney in 2006 with the Highlanders going on toplay 67 times for them. He then played in Australiafor the Reds and the Rebels.

Two minutes before the hooter, the Blues werepenalised right on their goal line with Harry Plummerbeing shown a yellow card.

Sports finish with a flurrySecond-half hole proves too deep as Melville make game safe with late penalty kick

Justin Miezenbeek

Prop Gordon Fullerton catches thedefence napping and crossesuntouched to score.

T e Awamutu Sports will bekicking themselves for a flatopening to the second halfthat had them in a huge hole,

before leaving a storming finish toolate, going down 43-33 to Melville inWaikato Premier rugby.

Tries to Matthew Towers, AwaMorris, Matthew Vickers, GordonFullerton and Fetu Sasalu nettedSports a bonus point while Logan Karladded four conversions.

Like last week, Sports were hot outof the blocks. Midfielder Awa Morrisburst through the defence and a deftgrubber kick put skipper MatthewTowers in to score within fiveminutes. Melville however hit backquickly to tie the game, then took thelead after 20 minutes, 14-7.

Melville picked up another try tolead 21-7 as the first half wound downbefore halfback Vavao Afemai brokeup the centre of the field, drawing thelast defender and putting Morris in forthe try and a 21-14 halftime scoreline.

The second half was when it gotugly for Sports. In the space of 10minutes the deficit went from sevenpoints to 26 as Melville tookadvantage of lacklustre play to thetune of three tries and a 40-14 lead.

Stung into action Sports startedgetting themselves back into thegame and were rewarded whenflanker Cameron Moorby burstthrough the middle and foundVickers backing up inside to pull thescore back to 40-19.

Sports went up a gear in the last10 minutes and put the hammerdown.

Melville hung on by a threadbefore prop Gordon Fullerton caughtthe defence napping down the shortside and crossed untouched. Withseven minutes left, the game wasturning on its head.

Sports kept the heat on and foundthemselves hard on attack again andwere rewarded when No 8 Sasalu

found some space down theblindside and was too strong. Karl’sconversion from out wide reducedthe deficit to seven with four minutesremaining.

A long range penalty goal from thevisitors gave them a crucial 10-pointbuffer in the dying seconds. Sportsran out of time and couldn’t complete

what would have been an incrediblecomeback.

It was a rollercoaster game andSports had huge contributions thisweek from their bench, which liftedthem to another level. Replacementprop Mitchell Gardiner picked up theman of the match with a huge secondhalf effort. He stabilised the scrumunder pressure and proved a forceat ruck and maul time.

Replacement flanker Moorbyinjected a real sense of urgency intothe game to put the visitors on theirheels, while replacement midfielderHerewini Hohepa looked right athome in his Premier debut, showingthe full range of skills and provingtough to defend in broken play.

MVP Points: 3 Mitchell Gardiner,2 Cameron Moorby, 1 HerewiniHohepa.

Te Awamutu Sports Premier B still

have a shot at the semis with twogames to play and will feel indifferentabout a somewhat unflattering 26-5loss against Melville.

It was a tough, uncompromisinggame with Melville chipping away tolead 12-0 deep in the second halfbefore hooker Dylan Jeffries scoredfor Sports and pulled it back to 12-5to set up a thrilling finish with eightminutes to play.

Unfortunately Sports let the gameget away from them in the last fewminutes, conceding two tries to givea scoreline which is not reallyreflective of a closely competedgame.

Sports go on the road for their lasttwo games of the season, initially toCambridge to take on defendingchampions Hautapu, who will besmarting after their first loss in twoseasons.

Pirongiafall toSuburbs

Pirongia's Ben Coutts (left), GregGane and player of the day KaydenMoorfield. Photo / Julie Gibson

After a strong start from Pirongia theSuburbs backs were able to use theirspeed out wide to score a convincingwin against a gallant Pirongia team.

Pirongia started the better andthrough their forwards weredominating both the possession andterritory in the first 20 minutes butas in other games could not turn thisdominance into points.

In the 23rd minute Suburbs scoredthe first points of the game. From alineout inside their own half, Suburbsspun the ball wide.

Their winger was able to get on theoutside of his man but was caughtfive metres from his line. From hereSuburbs were able to recycle the balland score a converted try to take thelead 7-0.

Suburbs, again through their backs,were able to score two more triesbefore halftime to take a 17-0 lead.

The second half continued insimilar fashion with Pirongiadominating the forward battles butSuburbs held on and broke out toscore three more tries.

To their credit the Pirongia teamnever gave up and were rewardedwith a try five minutes from fulltimewhen lock Shaun Coutts was able topick and go to score.

For Pirongia all the forwardsplayed well, particularly the looseforwards, who were a constant threatwith ball in hand and on defence.

Jayden Johnson was outstandingaround the field but player of the daywent to Kayden Moorfield whotackled himself to a standstill and wasgreat with the ball.

Tim Cresswell ran well when theopportunity presented itself and MattLowe was excellent at the back untilhe had to go off injured.

Pirongia B team is also back up andrunning. They will be playing two ofthe last three games of the season.

The play Frankton this Saturdayand Ohaupo in the last game of theseason.

The club was impressed to see 38guys, between the As and Bs, attraining with many more keen to puttheir boots on.

The Splice ConstructionMagic continued their woe-ful season this week con-ceding another two defeats.

The Pulse turned on adecisive showing to out-class Splice ConstructionMagic 52-29 on Friday.

The Pulse led from startto finish, extending theirlead throughout to post theireighth straight win of theseason..

Consistency remained atthe forefront for the Pulsewho opened with their well-performed starting seven ofrecent weeks.

A mini revival from the

Magic kept them well intouch when the Pulse led10-7 at the first break.

Georgia Tong remaineda shining light for the Magicwith her ability to snaffle ballbut was not helped whenher team’s shootingpercentages fell away.

It was the Pulse who wenton to hold a handy advan-tage when leading 24-13 atthe main break.

Elle Temu stayed putafter replacing Rore at goaldefence while shooterKhiarna Williams replacedKelsey McPhee under thehoop for the Magic in thethird stanza.

Williams played a handyrole for the Magic with goodaccuracy but it was muchthe same from the Pulsewho were relentless in allfacets.

Slowly but surely, theNorthern Mystics overcamea spirited challenge fromthe Magic on Monday nightto secure a 45-39 victory.

In the final match ofround 7, the Mystics tookcontrol of the middle quar-ters through the defence ofSulu Fitzpatrick, the attack

of Peta Toeava and theshooting of Grace Nweke.

It wasn’t a pretty openingstanza with both teamsmaking basic errors.

The Magic were at timesthree goals ahead but theMystics drew level and wentinto the break 11-11.

The vision of Toeavacame to the fore in thesecond quarter, helping theMystics out to a three-goaladvantage.
