A $17m water bill
By Mary Anne Gill
The cost of establishing Waikato Waters has reached $16.85 million, about 40 per cent above the company’s previously reported $12.1 million establishment budget. Waikato Waters is the council-controlled water services company jointly owned by six district councils, including Waipā. Figures obtained by The News under the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act provide one of the first detailed breakdowns of what it has cost to establish the organisation. Documents show contractors accounted for the largest share of the spending at $10.36
million. Major costs included $2.64 million for information technology services, $1.82 million for consultants, $798,193 for recruitment, $592,622 for office space and $46,226 for communications and marketing. Directors’ fees totalled $244,694 and spending on events, uniforms and vehicle branding came to more than $123,000. Waikato Waters said the figures were unaudited management accounts and could change following its annual audit process. The new water entity was established as part of local government water reforms. Waikato Waters currently employs 131 staff and has approval for 224 positions by July 2027.
A separate board paper released with The News request sheds light on why Waikato Waters chose Hamilton as its headquarters despite representing districts spread across much of the Waikato region. Directors were advised there were no suitable office options available within shareholder council districts before the organisation’s July 2026 launch. As a result, the board endorsed a medium-term lease in the BNZ building in central Hamilton while pursuing a longer-term accommodation solution. The document also shows Waikato Waters expects office-based staff numbers to rise from between 85 and 100 in its first year to as many
as 120 to 140 from July 2027. The company is jointly owned by Waipā, Waitomo, South Waikato, Matamata-Piako, Hauraki and Ōtorohanga district councils. Water and wastewater services from Waipā, Waitomo and South Waikato transferred to the company on July 1. Matamata-Piako is due to join in October, and Hauraki and Ōtorohanga next year. In response to questions about a 2022 directive from the Director-General of Health requiring fluoride to be added to Cambridge’s water supply, Waikato Waters said it was reviewing implementation following the transfer of responsibilities from Waipā District Council.
Fountain weeps once more
By Jesse Wood
Twenty years after it was turned off to save water, a service was held last week to celebrate the restored Peace Fountain at Te Awamutu and District War Memorial Park. Waipā mayor Mike Pettit and Te Awamutu RSA president Daniel van der Hulst unveiled a plaque on the front of the fountain, “Remembering all those connected with the Pacific War 1941-1945”. New lights have also been added to the structure. The Waipā District Council can change the light colours according to events The near $100,000 restoration project has the fountain working on an enclosed system to save water. It was one of the original features of Te Awamutu and District War Memorial Park when it opened in 1955. RSA executive committee
member Adan Te Huia said unveiling the plaque was an important moment. “Here we honour those who stood, who fought, who suffered, and who died, and the whānau who carried the weight of those times. They are the pillars of the peace that lives within our park today,” he said. The monument was “a symbol of the peace that was paid for by the courage of those who served, a place where we remember the cost of peace and I hope that it will be carried forward by future generations”. Mike Pettit acknowledged the contribution of van der Hulst, former district councillor Lou Brown “and those who have helped bring this day together, of which there are many”. “This is not simply the switching on of a refurbished water feature. It is a restoration of one of the
original features of this important park. “The fountain has been known over this time as the Weeping Fountain and the Peace Fountain. Both names carry weight,” Pettit said. Van der Hulst said a fountain is a sign of life and the sound of running water brings movement back to the park. “It reminds us that remembrance should not be silent, distant, or forgotten. The renewed fountain helps restore the purpose of this garden as more than a place we visit once a year. “It is important because remembrance only survives if people continue to see it, use it and understand it. Blessing officiator Jim Goddin said the Peace Fountain was more than simple stones and water. “It stands here as part of the shared history.”`

On the beat with Senior Constable DEB HANN Just slow down… This week I am taking a crime prevention focus. Firstly in the past week I have been proactively patrolling for speed. I found several drivers travelling between 12 and 21 kilometres over the speed limit around Leamington. Speed limits are there to reduce road trauma. While your manner of driving may otherwise be fine, we cannot predict the actions of others. A difference of just 10kph over the speed limit can be the difference between a near miss and a crash. As speed increases, you have less time to react, the distance required to stop increases and if in a crash, the impact forces will result in more severe injuries. Speeding is not justified because you are a good driver, it is a quiet traffic day, the weather is fine or you didn’t see the sign. It’s time to slow down around town. Secondly, the online world again. Back when I was at school, bullying was usually limited to classmates and often ended at the school gate. Today, with smartphones and social media a part of everyday life, bullying can follow young people wherever they go. We continue to get reports of young people falling victim to harmful behaviour online. This can include online posts that mock or intimidate others, AI-generated content, or videos recorded or shared without consent. The harm is then amplified when others
reshare, comment on, or otherwise encourage the content from behind their screen or anonymity. Responsibility doesn’t just sit with the person who posts it. Those who reshare, support, or ignore harmful behaviour also contribute to the impact. As a community, we all have a role to play to prevent this from happening. Please be aware of the potential for digital harm, take an active interest in how your young people are using technology and to what they are exposed, have discussions about appropriate online behaviour and speak up or report harmful content when you see it. Finally a word about bike safety. I have previously mentioned the good riding behaviour we are seeing for the Ride Safe, Stay Safe campaign. I would like to now remind everyone about bike crime prevention. If you or your child are riding to school, work or town, be sure to securely lock your bike when you leave it parked up. Make sure it is secured in an area with good foot traffic, under lighting or cctv. Unless absolutely necessary, don’t leave it out overnight. As with any crime, if we remove the opportunity, we can reduce the crime.
Gusty winds and threatening skies did little to dampen the enthusiasm of those at Sunday’s vintage car Daffodil Rally for Cancer event in Cambridge. The display is held annually, hosted by the Waikato branch of the Vintage Car Club, and draws enthusiasts to various spots around the region – all held in support of the New Zealand Vintage Car Club’s national day. Cambridge’s event was held at the club’s base in Maclean St, and as always, attracted a huge array of vehicles and plenty of spectators of all ages. Club member Bryan Cossey said he thought the numbers were up this year, despite the weather. On show were a raft of cars, light commercials, and motorbikes from the early 1900s to the mid-1990s. Club treasurer Jillian Hayton said a tentative amount of $9000 was raised, around $1000 more than last year. She said some 280 vehicles took part across the Waikato this year, including 70 from Hamilton, 80 from Matamata, 50 from Cambridge, 35 from Te Awamutu and 20 from Morrinsville. A familiar splash of yellow will return to towns across the region when Daffodil Day collectors take to the streets to support people and whānau impacted by cancer. Volunteers will be out across Cambridge, Te Awamutu and the King Country tomorrow and Saturday with yellow collection buckets and inviting donations.

Fast track changes revealed By Mary Anne Gill
Residents got their first look at significant changes to the proposed Waikato Thoroughbred Racing Greenfield Hub at Tamahere on Sunday, and some residents were surprised by how far the project had advanced since a public meeting in April. About 80 people attended an open day at the Tamahere Community Centre where revised plans for the 164-hectare development were unveiled and project leaders answered questions about traffic, water use and the impact on neighbouring properties. Concept plans were shown to the community earlier this year and the project has received approval to enter the Government’s Fast-track Approvals process. Waikato Thoroughbred Racing chair Bruce Harvey said changes reflected further work on track design and the inclusion of harness racing facilities. “The harness (proposal)
was still up in the air whether they were definitely coming or not,” he said. “Under the fast-track application, you can pull something out, it’s a lot harder to put them back in.” The revised proposal now includes thoroughbred and harness racing tracks, training facilities, stables, a bloodstock sales facility, retirement living, residential development, a village centre and supporting equine services, according to information provided to neighbouring residents. The substantive fast-track application is expected to be lodged in October. Residents have until next week to provide feedback to Waikato Thoroughbred Racing. Harvey said project leaders formed a neighbourhood liaison group and had been working closely with residents. “We want to be very transparent, we want to engage with the community, and that’s important. We want to take them for the

ride with us,” Harvey said. He acknowledged considerable work remained before the application was lodged. Water supply and protecting neighbouring
DoC grants announced Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari will be given a $600,000 government funded boost. The fenced sanctuary, which has cut its cloth to meet costs, gets $606,500 to help with fence maintenance and habitat restoration costs. It is one of two communityled projects protecting threatened species to share $1.2 million through the Conservation Department’s Community Fund. The funding is expected to leverage a further $1.38 million in cash and in-kind coinvestment from the projects and their partners. “For every $1 our Government invests, more than $1.14 is expected in co-investment, supporting almost $2.6 million of conservation work across
our region,” Taranaki-King Country MP Barbara Kuriger said. She said the money for Maungatautari would help protect the conservation gains already made there. East Taranaki Environment Trust will get $600,000 for predator control and monitoring across 46,000 hectares through its NorthEast Taranaki Kōkako Landscape Project. “This is conservation on a massive scale. The project is co-led with iwi, strongly supported by volunteers and will protect our recovering kōkako population while benefiting many other native species, said the MP. Both projects are in Kuriger’s electorate. “Both projects are building on years of local effort. Our
government is backing the people doing the hard work to protect our native wildlife and ensure these special places continue to thrive,” Kuriger said. The funding forms part of the Government’s $9.2 million investment in 20 communityled conservation projects through the DoC Community Fund.
Barbara Kuriger
bores remained critical issues. Transport studies and road impact assessments are still being finalised. Traffic emerged as one of the major concerns raised by attendees. Waikato district councillor Mike Keir said the proposal had merit but was closely tied to the stalled Southern Links roading project. “It’s going to put a lot of stress in our local roading networks,” he said. “Without that motorway connection, it’s going to be very problematic.” Keir said Tamahere Drive was already under pressure and additional traffic generated by race meetings and associated developments would add further strain. “I just don’t feel the network will handle a development like this without a motorway connection.” Fellow councillor Crystal Beavis said one frustration with the fast-track process was that major infrastructure projects were assessed individually rather than collectively. “If they were going
through the normal planning process, a council would look at things together,” she said. She said the proposal should also be viewed alongside future plans for Hamilton Airport, which has ambitions to become a significant freight hub. Locating a major racing facility near a developing airport made strategic sense, but transport links would be crucial, she said. Harvey believes the project is bigger than Waikato Thoroughbred Racing. “We’ve said from day one this is bigger than us, it’s an industry initiative to safeguard the industry,” he said. Waikato remained the heart of New Zealand racing and the development was needed to future-proof the industry. Letters delivered to neighbouring landowners last week outlined the project’s scope and confirmed the Environmental Protection Authority and an independent expert panel may seek feedback from affected residents during the fast-track process.

The gang is here again
By Mary Anne Gill
The excitement is building for four young Waikato performers as they prepare to step onto the Riverlea Theatre stage in Hamilton for the opening of the 10th Waikato Gang Show tomorrow (Friday). For Cambridge Middle School students Willow Bromley-Hunt, 13, and Oliver Metcalfe, 12, Te Kūiti’s Rangitoto School student Daniel Lindsay, 12, and Peyton Brice, 8, of Pekapekarau Primary School in Te Awamutu, months of rehearsals are about to culminate in front of a live audience. While opening night nerves might be expected, the group say they are feeling something else. “More excited,” said Oliver when asked if he was nervous about the curtain going up. That enthusiasm is shared throughout the cast. For many of the young performers, one of the biggest highlights has been meeting scouts and guides from across the region and forming friendships beyond their own groups. “It’s just nice because you can branch out because there are other people,” said Oliver. The production provides an opportunity to “meet other scout groups and guides”, said Willow.
Director Seattle Tupuhi, who first joined the cast as a 10-year-old in 2008, said watching young people grow in confidence was one of the most rewarding parts of the production. “Seeing them go from nervous wrecks at the beginning, you couldn’t get any of them on stage until now when they’re flourishing,” he said. “Just seeing them, exposing them to the theatre and then watching their love for it sort of click on and go, ‚Oh, I understand, I get the rush’, is super exciting.” For Daniel, who helped restart the Te Kūiti Scout group after it had been inactive for five years, Gang Show is also about reconnecting with people from previous productions. “You get to see new people, you get to see the people from the past if you did it in the last one,” he said. This year’s production, Here We Go Again!, celebrates 10 Waikato Gang Shows by revisiting characters, scenes and musical numbers from earlier productions. Performers appear as characters drawn from different eras of the show, creating a celebration of two decades of history. The Gang Show tradition began in England in 1932 when
scout leader Ralph Reader created a variety show designed to build confidence, teamwork and performance skills among young people. For Peyton, taking part has special significance. The eightyear-old is the third generation of the family to perform in a Waikato Gang Show at Riverlea Theatre. “My mum did it, then my cousin did it, and now it’s me,” she said. Peyton is part of the junior cast, which performs during the first act, and said she has loved learning about the history of previous shows while rehearsing for this anniversary production. The cast members are already lining up family, teachers and scout groups to fill the audience. Daniel said his scout group already had tickets, while Peyton is looking forward to seeing her teacher and her husband in the crowd. Most of all, the young performers are eager to share the show they have spent months preparing. “It’s been so much fun. We’re so excited to perform in front of the audience,” said Peyton. And they have one simple message for families considering a night at the theatre. “You definitely should come,” said Willow.

Julia’s Patton’s story By Meghan Hawkes
William Patton, 39, was in the habit of wearing his hair very long. The Irishman, well known round Kihikihi and Te Awamutu, was a steady and industrious man. In January 1892 he was preparing to work in the harvest field of his farm. It was an extremely hot summer, so William had his hair cut short. William had previously been a mail coach driver between Kihikihi and Hamilton. In 1884 he had married Julia Costello, from Coromandel, with whom he had four children. The coach driving business was not without its moments. When Leon’s circus and menagerie passed through Te Awamutu in 1886 the camels were driven loose with the ponies. Teams of horses on the road were startled, including those of Patton’s mail coach, which took fright and broke the pole, the coach having to be laid up. Farming too, had its challenges and the day after the harvest William appeared to be suffering from sunstroke. He was treated by Dr Rowley, then admitted to Waikato Hospital in an unconscious state. Little hope was held
for his recovery and three weeks later he died. This left Julia in dire circumstances. In February she applied to the Waikato Hospital and Charitable Aid Board for financial relief. With four children under six and expecting a fifth child she was unable to work. Some of William’s property had been sold and the money vested in trustees to be used for her support. Her case was considered a deserving one and relief of seven shillings a week was granted. In September Julia’s son Hugh was born. Two years later, in May 1894, the four roomed wooden house Julia was renting at Te Awamutu was destroyed by fire. The next month, she appeared in court charged with assault on Mary Goodwin after Mary encouraged others to call her ‘Black Julia.’ She admitted striking Mary in selfdefence, and was fined. But worse to come in September 1895 when Julia’s son John, died aged five. Julia found employment at Te Awamutu school where she was noted as a good, loyal and unassuming worker. She also spoke fluent Māori. Julia had wide interests including current

affairs and voted at every election. In 1903 while at the school she dislocated her ankle. The community rallied to raise funds for her. In 1907 some luck came Julia’s way when she drew a ballot for land in the new Teasdale settlement. But in 1918 life took a devastating turn when her son Hugh, 26, was killed in action in France. Many years later, when Julia turned 85, a party of old friends gathered at her house. She told stories of the past, the tales regaled with her ready wit and Irish tongue. Many more merry years were wished for Julia. In 1942 Julia died aged 92. Right up to her death she daily discussed world affairs with vigour. She clearly remembered stirring episodes in New Zealand history as well as pioneer hardships, many of which she herself endured. Julia is buried at Te Awamutu cemetery.
Attending events that celebrate local achievements and milestones is one of the privileges of serving as an elected member, and recent weeks have offered several opportunities to recognise the people and places that help shape the Te Awamutu community. A recent open day at the Kihikihi Police House and Temple Cottage highlighted the assets found within. The volunteer committee has worked hard to capture and preserve local history, offering visitors the chance to see and experience a glimpse of life from yesteryear. The group is also keen to hear from anyone interested in joining the committee or lending a hand. On Friday, Jill Taylor, Dean Taylor, Shane Walsh and I joined several councillors, park supporters and RSA members at Te Awamutu War Memorial Park for the unveiling of a working weeping/peace fountain. The RSA gifted a plaque for the fountain in acknowledgement of those who served in the Pacific during the Second World War. Seeing the fountain working again as originally intended was a special moment, particularly given how close it came to being removed twice over the past decade. It is a reminder that when a community stands firm for the places and features it values, positive outcomes can be achieved. Later that evening, I returned to see the new lights in action. While I had not initially supported installing lights, the effect of the light shining up to the dish as water flowed over it was impressive. It is well worth a visit after dark. The Te Awamutu Business Chamber also held its annual meeting, offering
another opportunity to recognise leadership and contribution. The chamber plays a key role in supporting businesses. A highlight was the presentation of awards to two long-serving community members - John Freed, of TA Machinery, for his Business Legacy Award, and Tom Davies who received the Te Awamutu Guardianship Kaitiakitanga Award for community service. It was a fitting reminder of those who contribute quietly and consistently. Several people have asked why the planter pots remain on Main Street. Council is working to coordinate their removal with other planned work to minimise extra road closures. Contractor delays have held up the process, hopefully this will not be for long. The good news is that all the pots already have new homes to go to. Removing the pots is the first step in freshening up the CBD area. As a Community Board, we are keen to hear what the community would like to see in this space. Whether you have ideas, practical needs, or even a few “please don’ts”, we would welcome your feedback. The Discretionary Fund opens on September 11, so if you have a community project or need support for a local initiative, consider applying - details are on the district council website. Finally, we always welcome community members at our meetings. If you have something you would like to share, you can do so during the public forum. The next meeting will be held on September 22 at the council chambers, Bank Street, Te Awamutu.

Proud gathering for guides By Jesse Wood
A century of Te Awamutu Girl Guides was celebrated at the Te Awamutu College Hall earlier this month. It’s a busy year for guiding in the Waipā ahead of next January’s Girl Guiding New Zealand Jamboree at Mystery Creek. Plenty of fundraising is taking place to get their Guides, Rangers and leaders there. About 120 people attended the 100-year celebration. Queen’s guide Lesley Hawke cut the celebration cake with current Pippin Jasmine Milne. It was a Te Awamutu community effort. The cake was made by a grandparent, fellowship member and ex-leader Marie Brownlee and iced by her daughter-in-law Kerrin Brownlee. Ingredients were paid for by Kris Lawry and refreshment funding was given by the Te Awamutu Rosetown Ramblers. For team leader, Pippin leader and
fellowship member June Lambeth it was the conclusion of many hours of research, contacting people and organisation. “There is a lot of history to cover in 100 years and hard to find any information in the early years,” Lambeth said. “Praise must be given to the people in the past who have collected and stored information, records or documents for history. “The event was well worth the effort as it went off very well.” Lambeth appreciate everyone who made the day possible and special. Other organisers included Waipā coordinator, Te Awamutu Pippins and Brownie leader Michelle Gillard; fellowship member of the Te Awamutu Rosetown Ramblers, Karen Howard QSM, guide leader and Queen’s Guide Kay Roberts and Rangers Liza and Briar Ogle. Lorraine Agnew, a guiding historian from Hamilton, brought a collection of guiding records, books, photos and reports to display.

Trefoil members Agnew and Caroline Adam brought many uniforms from throughout the ages and decked out the Pippins, Brownies, Guides and Rangers with the belts, ties and hats in the correct orders. Leaders over the years have watched hundreds of youth and shy girls find their confidence and voice, young rangers become leaders and lifelong friendships form, Lambeth said. Past and present leaders had kept guiding alive in Te Awamutu. “We are incredibly proud of what guiding in Te Awamutu looks like today,” Gillard said. “Guiding is very much alive, thriving and continuing to make a difference in the lives of members. Guiding is stronger than ever. Across our four units, we have over 85 members actively involved each week. She said it gave girls many opportunities, guiding values, challenges, new skills and provided a safe space for youngsters to discover who they are. Involved with guiding for 50 years, Karen Howard was given the task of presenting an overview of the history and some of the activities that have featured. “Camping has always been part of guiding and here in Te Awamutu girls have camped on local farms, attended national jamborees, international jamborees and for the Rangers Queens Guide expeditions,” she said. “In 1980 Brownies were fortunate to be able to use a house at Puketapu on the Baker family farm enabling the Brownies to have sleepover weekends indoors.” Howard said the first names on an honours board in the Scout and Guide hall listing Queen’s Guide and Guides Duke of Edinburgh’s award earners were Lesley Hawke and Larayne Petersen in 1962. “This has been a continual part of the Ranger programme,” Howard said. “Te Awamutu can be proud of the adult participation over the years which has not only assisted the local girls but has helped guiding in New Zealand grow. “This area has offered trainers, people in national roles, people in programme committees for Guiding and leaders running national events.”

The perfect ring
A sentimental symbol
Rings are the most fundamental part of a wedding; symbolising the commitment both are making to each other and to the family they will create by doing so. When you have recently gotten engaged, adorning your third finger with the rock of your dreams is at the top of a girl’s priority list. At this stage, few couples give thought to the wedding rings – often leaving their purchase until closer to the wedding. While this is good for the pocket, after¬ all you don’t want to shock the groom with a double purchase of bling, it does pay to have an idea of the wedding ring you want when shopping for the engagement ring. Consider if you want to wear the engagement ring and the wedding ring together. If so, they will have to not only fit well together on the finger but also complement each other. Most choose the same metals, but yellow and white gold can also look chic depending on the design. However, if you are going to wear your wedding ring on its own you may want something more interesting than a plain band. Jewellers report that wedding rings with stone settings are now more o¬ften requested than plain settings. Also consider if you want ‘his and her’ rings which give a nod to each other’s design to reflect your romantic bond. You can also request for your rings to be engraved with the wedding date and initials, or something personal to you both. While some can be bought straight off the velvet display board, for others the commitment can mean anything from designing their own, to incorporating jewellery of loved ones who have passed, or gifted on. If choosing to design your own engagement and weddings bands, speak directly to the jeweller, as not all jewellery stores have qualified jewellers on site. This will ensure all your questions are answered and not lost in translation. Before proceeding ask for a written quote with a clear description of the agreed job. To avoid disappointment only proceed when you are satisfied that the jeweller understands your requirements, after all this is a lifetime purchase.

Volcano misconceptions By Janine Krippner
I have done a lot of communication work, which has included several hundred media interviews when a volcano hits the news, sharing information on social media, and sharing writing like this. This has included busting many myths that frequently pop up, and misinformation that circulates like wildfire during a crisis. The implications of AI for spreading misinformation are uncomfortable at best. Sometime around five years ago I had an idea. Most scientific peer-reviewed research is written in technical language that makes it difficult for non-experts to read, and much of that is locked behind paywalls where you have to pay to read it. Peer-review is when we submit a research article to a journal and it is sent out to several other scientists relevant to the topic and they review it. They point out any mistakes, any gaps in the research that has been missed, and ultimately, decide whether or not research is good enough for publication. After seeing misinformation and misunderstandings pop up around volcanoes over and over and over again, I had the idea of putting together a peer-reviewed guide for everyone to quickly check if an idea holds. Last week, this mammoth of a scientific article finally came out: “Getting the story straight: common misconceptions around volcanoes and eruptions with case studies of recent events”. I brought together 26 coauthors from institutions around the world, with different specialties within volcanology, and we addressed some of the most common issues we see.
This is one of the biggest projects I have worked on, on a topic I am passionate about. An example is why volcanic ash is not smoke and why this matters. Another is the idea that an eruption at Yellowstone volcano is imminent and will destroy the world. We address “supervolcanoes” and why the name does not mean every eruption will be a super one. We address the “Pacific Ring of Fire” and what it does and does not mean. We write about volcanoes and climate, and if earthquakes can trigger eruptions. With each one, we present the main takeaway points then go into what the research says. We then share case studies that illustrate what happens when misinformation gets out of hand. From the Agung eruption in 2017, where my crisis communication work began, to the Kīlauea 2018 eruption, Etna in Italy, Taal in the Philippines, and La Soufrière St. Vincent in the eastern Caribbean. The hope is that this is a guide people can keep on hand and refer to. I want this to be helpful for people everywhere, not sitting behind a paywall where it is not used. I strongly believe that there is so much more science can do to ensure that our research is useful for society, this is one small step towards that. You can search for the title online and it will lead you right to it. It is free for anyone to access.

An eerie silence surrounded the recent erection of a for sale sign in front of the derelict ex-Bunnings site in Te Awamutu, but tremors shook again throughout the district as news commentary reminded us of the five-year journey that led us here. If this were an isolated incident, one might be less abrasive. However, if I were to mention Holmes Garage, Market Street, town centre, or retail decline we might be less accusatory of the council being desultory. Civic leaders state they are looking for someone with vision while carrying a preference for community outcomes over the sale price of the ex-Bunnings building. A negative person would assume that means they carry no vision, but we know that not to be true. I choose to believe the requirement for sale is more about balancing vision with resources, or the lack of in this case. In the days of ancient Egypt, the Pharaoh sat on his throne and assumed his world was secure. I mean, why wouldn’t he as the dominant world power? However, several deeply disturbing dreams in the darkness of night brought him to a place of powerless perplexity. Surrounded by civil servants who could not translate vision into strategy, he remained confused. Enter Joseph. This young Hebrew had been given a gift from God to interpret dreams. We should not be surprised, then, that he was given divine inspiration to share with the Pharaoh along with a strategy that could ensure the saving of many nations. Skinny cows would not cause starvation. In the days of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, once again dark dreams turned serene sovereignty into stress. This time the
king had surrounded himself with magicians, enchanters, and sorcerers; all of whom failed to accurately ascertain the meaning of his dreams. Enter Daniel. As a captive servant, this young Hebrew stood before Nebuchadnezzar and declared, “there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries.” Perhaps he had heard the stories of Joseph who some 1200 years earlier said, “Do not interpretations belong to God?” Repeatedly effective, Daniel became wise counsel to the king over many decades. It’s an incredibly difficult assignment to lead people. Pressure is never lacking, nor is need. Demands of equitable service, the burdens of debt, execution (or not) by the hands of others; these are only some of the challenges that most do not appreciate. In a democratic society, we flourish or fail at the hands of those we elected. Have we become a society that wants the benefits of divine wisdom without seeking its source? What if God were to be invited back into leadership as He was in the formation of our nation? What if we didn’t just sing “God Defend New Zealand” but also lived with that expectation? I shudder every time I see a large stock truck, milk tanker, or combine harvester thunder through our main street as mums grasp small hands and mobility scooter pilots shelter from imminent danger. It’s time to find the Josephs and the Daniels of our day who can support our civic leaders with divine wisdom.Z

Tracking harness racing history By Mary Anne Gill
As Waikato Bay of Plenty Harness Racing members prepare to vote on winding up their century-old club next week, another question is being asked: could things have turned out differently? Last week’s Cambridge News story, Twilight decision looms, focused on the choice facing members on September 1. A vote in favour would effectively end the incorporated society and see the assets of Cambridge Raceway transfer to Harness Racing New Zealand (HRNZ). Documents circulating among members show the story does not begin with the current debt position. A chronology records concerns about funding were raised with HRNZ in 2020. Waikato Bay of Plenty Harness argued reductions and changes to the way clubs were funded placed increasing pressure on its finances. The club’s records show revenue available to support operations fell sharply during the following seasons while race meeting
commitments increased. The club developed a master plan that included selling a parcel of land and investing the proceeds back into Cambridge Raceway. The proposal included new stabling and wider improvements designed to secure the venue’s future as a racing and training hub. The plan was presented to the full HRNZ board in Cambridge in 2021. In May 2024, the club signed an agreement to sell a section of land for $3.8 million. According to club documents, nearly $200,000 had been spent on subdivision, planning and consenting work. The proceeds were intended to repay debt, fund infrastructure and strengthen the club’s balance sheet. The expected settlement in June 2024 did not proceed, and the club’s financial position continued to deteriorate. Supporters of the former board believe that had the sale been completed, the club may have been able to avoid its current position. For many members, the coming vote is

about more than finances. The raceway occupies a special place in the district. Built up over generations by local horse people and supported by a wider equine community, it is viewed as a community asset.
Others see the proposal as the only practical solution, arguing that certainty and long-term investment can only come through HRNZ ownership and support. HRNZ has described Cambridge Raceway as a strategic asset for the industry.
Lions say Dad’s the word The Lions Cancer Trust mobile skin cancer screening bus will visit Te Awamutu on Father’s Day. Te Awamutu Lions Club members are encouraging families to look after each other as part of their September 6 Father’s Day celebrations this year by visiting the bus. The free mobile clinic will be in the Waipā District Council carpark. Te Awamutu Lions Club secretary Alan Taylor said having the screening vehicle in town on Father’s Day provides an appropriate opportunity. “Father’s Day is traditionally a time when families get together, so we thought, why not make looking after each other part of the day?” Taylor said. “Fathers spend a lifetime looking after their families. This Father’s Day, we would like families to help look after Dad — but we certainly don’t want Dad to be the only one having a check. “Bring Dad, Mum, Grandad, Nana or other adult members of the family. A few minutes spent having a free skin cancer screening could be one of the most worthwhile things a family does together this Father’s Day.” The Lions Cancer Trust
Get Gardening Spring is just around the corner so it’s the perfect time to reset the garden. Attack those weed's and clean up garden beds. If you planted cover crops get them turned over so they can break down. Add compost and generous amounts of chicken & sheep pellets to get them well prepped for spring planting. If the garden is ready, get a fresh run of brassicas in and start planting peas, lettuces and other salad crops, so you are ready for the BBQ season. Focus on getting trees, shrubs planted before the heat hits. Wanting new potatoes for the Christmas table? Start sprouting them now for planting by mid September, to ensure they will be ready. Come in and see our large selection of “Pick Me” perennials , new varieties available. Happy gardening!

was established by Lions Clubs New Zealand to provide mobile skin cancer screening services throughout the country, taking screening directly into local communities. The screening involves a visual check of the body for suspicious freckles, moles or other skin lesions. It is a screening service rather than a diagnostic or treatment clinic. If a screening identifies something that may require further investigation, the person will be advised to follow up with their GP.
The Lions Cancer Trust promotes that early detection saves lives. Their mobile screening service is designed to make screening accessible by taking it directly into communities around New Zealand. As only one volunteer screener is available for the Te Awamutu visit, spaces will be limited. The Te Awamutu Lions Club will take bookings in advance – a strongly recommended option – to help manage demand and minimise waiting times.

Women on the ball Te Awamutu women’s football has been rising rapidly at the club and WaiBop Leagues. The club fielded three women’s teams for the first time this season – one in the first division and two, including a social team, in division three. “Something else has been brewing though, an identity and sense of belonging that has drawn players in from near and far. Several women travel from Te Kuiti and Hamilton to be part of the Rose Town squads,” coach Sean Stringfellow said.
“They wrapped up this season with their social team stoked to have got a team in each week and a sense of home through Audrey Poanaki and Breanna Adam leading the charge. “It’s been a space where several women have had a chance to get into the game or not have the demands of a competitive training regime and just get out and have fun.” The development team under the leadership of Chris Fitzpatrick in the same league missed out the
league title on the final day by one point. Despite a 9-0 win over West Hamilton, Te Awamutu was pipped by one point when league leaders Northern beat Morrinsville 1-0. The team now have their eyes set on the plate semifinal on September 13 with the aim of completing back to back plate wins. In the Waikato women’s top flight, Te Awamutu made a slow start to the season, losing 2-1 to Melville and 7-1 to Thames, but head into their final game only behind Thames, who have a game in hand, on goal
difference. Te Awamutu beat Unicol 4-2 at home on Sunday with goals to Lexy McMurray – who took her season’s tally to 16 - Astrid Joy, two, and newly appointed captain Mariska Periera. It was the team’s final home game and they warmed up with 16 members of a junior team they had watched play the day before. The team will chase its eighth league win on the trot at Melville on Sunday leaving Thames needing at least a win from their last two games.

Another successful exhibition hosted by the Greater Waikato Railway Modellers (GWRM) drew fans of all ages through the Cambridge Town Hall earlier this month. In addition to displays of model railway layouts and the sale of modelling paraphernalia, the expo also had a host of other hobbies on show, including radio-controlled vehicles, laser-cutting, Big Trucks for the kids, remote control planes and yachts, all offering plenty of have-a-go opportunities. GWRM member Paul Murphy told The News feedback suggested that having more than just model railways was a good idea, and the different hobbies on display contributed to the overall success of the weekend. The plastic kit modellers decided that their national championships will be held in Cambridge next year. “Static displays of Hornby Dublo and Meccano triggered many childhood memories, and the digital train driving introduced yet another dimension of our hobby,” Murphy said. Another big plus was having people on site who were willing to share their ‘trainmania’ with the public.
