Plenty of ‘fools’ outraged over SH3 planBY DEAN TAYLOR

Thanks for the mainly positivecomments personally, throughour front office and via email andFacebook for Friday’s front page‘April Fool’ story and graphic.

The SH3 interchange conceptcertainly had some people going— a sign the public wouldn’t betoo surprised if the plan was real(most likely due to what hashappened to our road to Hamiltonto date as well as developmentsthat have been proposed).

No one I have spoken to enjoysthe drive to Hamilton with the‘safety’ measures that have been

put in place. Most are frustratedand believe the measures willhave a negative effect.

It will get worse if the SafeRoads Alliance (SRA) gets its way.We may as well have the SafetyCommittee of AutomotiveMovement (SCAM) and Miss For-tune — they don’t consulteffectively, either.

I called for the public sub-mission process to begin againand through your letters and thispublication will keep pressing theissue.

Make sure you check the ad-vertisement on Page 6 regardingthe enxt phase of SRA’s plans.

Back to our April Fools’ story— it has been viewed more than6400 times on our Facebook pageas well as by all our print readers,catching out a few people therealso.● My hubby was in fits. Where isthis going. What’s going to happento our farm. OMG till he read thesmall print.● It would certainly put a damperon me going to Hamilton if thetravel time doubled.● Top effort on the front page of theCourier on Friday! Very, very good.Fooled so many people — meincluded. Such a good topic to pick.Well done, I like your style!

● Continued damage is because ofthe shocking road service, slowingtraffic won’t help.● You got me for awhile until I sawthe writing beneath the picture.Best laugh I’ve had in years.● Great SCAM in this morning’sCourier for April Fools Day, con-gratulations.

It wasn’t our first April Fool —there was a ‘Back to the Future’sighting near the Kihikihi TownClock one year; and the Council’sexperiment with water skiing onthe water treatment pond to aer-ate the effluent received a fewcomments, plus the generous offerof a cheap second-hand ski boat.

‘Local boys’ honoured

TC050416CA02ARTIST Sonia Frimmel (who helped create the panel) and Alan Hall (who led the project) view the newpanel in the Pirongia War Memorial Hall.

BY CATHY ASPLIN

Names of soldiers killed inWWI that are listed on the frontof the Pirongia War MemorialHall have been brought to lifeafter a pictorial panel wasunveiled on Sunday.

Waipa Mayor JimMylchreest says he was hon-oured to unveil the movingmemorial inside the hall.

“Thank you for keepingPirongia enriched in its historyand further commemoratingthese heroes.

“It is a fitting tribute to thebrave men and their familiesand friends left behind.

“It is very important that weremember and acknowledgethese heroes and this momentin history.”

The pictorial panel insidethe Pirongia War MemorialHall features 42 soldiers whoare listed on the roll of honouroutside of the hall, as well as sixothers that were missed fromthe original list.

It was a desire to find outmore about these men thatresulted in a project by AlanHall of the Pirongia Heritageand Information Centre.

“These men, who died in theGreat War, were commemor-ated when the War MemorialHall was opened on Wednesday,August 16, 1922.

“As a part of the 2015 Centen-

nial Commemoration of WWI itwas decided to record some-thing about each of those men,because 100 years later littleappears to be known by the

community about them.”Mr Hall says initially the

exercise seemed pretty straight-forward, because there are nowcomprehensive databases of

information available aboutNew Zealand returnedservicemen.

No rush into any CCO arrangementsRatepayers should not be concerned that

Waipa District Council is rushing into anyarrangement to form a CCO for the deliveryof water and waste water services acrossour district.

It is not. In fact, the Council has taken anextremely cautious approach to this recom-mendation, and will continue to do so.

We are currently working through alarge number of complex issues withWaikato District and Hamilton City Coun-cil around the possibility of forming a CCO.But it is still just that — a possibility.

There are still many complex things toresolve before we can even considerrecommending a draft agreement for con-

sideration by the community.There are different points of view among

councillors. But I think we all agree that, fora CCO to be formed, it must provide waterservices that are cheaper and be morereliable than what we currently have. Bylaw, we are obliged to provide services inthe most effective and efficient manner.

In fact, central Government is proposingto change the Local Government Act toactively encourage Councils to look atalternative service delivery models likeCCOs that will deliver more cost-effectiveservices.

We have also had four independentreports which agree a CCO would offer

financial and non-financial advantages toour ratepayers. Given that, we need toseriously consider it. It my view, it wouldbe irresponsible not to.

This is a very complex issue and anydecision is a long way off. We will continueto look at it from all sides, in the bestinterests of Waipa ratepayers.

In the meantime, like Cr St Pierre, Iwould encourage people to find out more bygoing to www.waterstudywaikato.org.nz.

This website contains copies of all theindependent reports received, plus all coun-cil reports on this issue and much more.

JIM MYLCHREESTWaipa Mayor

Summer never ends in prosperous KiwilandI note the turn of the season and new

beginnings with harvest of the goldengrain.

Those with Corrections’ ankle braceletsnow have a tan line. We are in post flagdebate time. The planets have all alignedand the pumpkins are coming in from thegarden. Preserving pans are warming upbut we will not be having council annualplan submissions this year as these wereall made last year in anticipation of thenext ten years, so everything is up to date.

Te Awamutu is in a hearty position.Dairy company shares will be on the up

due to substantial pay-outs based on thepromise of further huge profits due to lowmilk prices. The Government has evengenerously dropped the value of the NewZealand dollar so that international buyerscan have yet another discount and we are

all singing Everything is Beautiful.We are even going to have a new trade

agreement with our Pacific partners butthis was nearly spoiled by one of yourcorrespondents, who said that we can’ttrust Americans.

That was nearly a racist remark, but thecrisis was averted by high rolling diplo-mats explaining that she didn’t reallymean it.

Fonterra has promised that they willtake all the milk the farmers can producenext year so Mr Wilson’s pockets will be sofull of easy money that he won’t fit throughthe door. So what if milk is at bargainbasement prices? That just adds to the fun.

The children are all doing well atschool. Some will be travelling overseas tosee poverty for the first time but don’tworry, they will be home soon and it won’t

be long before they forget about it.Rugby will be the winner on the day and

booze will be cheaper than ever. Nobodywill notice that the rugged kiwi individual,fix it with No 8 wire, attitude has beenreplaced by coffee swilling snobbery andcycle pants are now trendy for those over60.

Things are even looking up for theprison officers who are now sitting in onanger management therapy and nanniesare being recruited to boost their numbers.One or two have even tried sharing thingswith the group and there were tears.

I hear that they are even taking dancinglessons at Waikeria with the first twonumbers being the Mashed Potato and theTwist. Perhaps we will see some linedancing soon?

Music to Talos ears

TC050416SP03ATE AWAMUTU’S Coral Taylor (centre) is presented with an award forOutstanding Service to Musical Theatre by Musical Theatre New Zealandpatron Donna Philpott, QSM (left) and president Lesley Carthew.

Fifteen people from Te Awa-mutu Light Operatic Society travel-led to Rotorua recently for theMusical Theatre New Zealand Con-ference.

For Talos founding member andlife member Coral Taylor it was awonderful opportunity to meet andhear guest speaker Richard O’Brien— creator and star of The RockyHorror Show — both on stage andscreen.

But there was an ulterior motivefor the Te Awamutu members, andwhen Musical Theatre MeritAwards were presented after theconference dinner, for services tomusical theatre, it became apparentwhat that motive was.

The awards were for thosesociety members who had given 20or more years service.

Mrs Taylor has given more than40 years service to Talos, and whenher name was read to receive anaward for Outstanding Service toMusical Theatre, she received astanding ovation from hercolleagues.

In the early years Mrs Taylor wasa member of the cast of Talos shows,but she soon moved front of stageand began directing.

“I enjoyed being on stage, but Iwasn’t a solo vocalist and I wantedmore of a challenge,” she says.

During her career with Talos,Mrs Taylor has directed 17 majormusicals, plus numerous reviewsand Christmas reviews.

Some of the large scaleproductions that have played at TheWoolshed under Mrs Taylor includeGuys and Dolls, South Pacific,Music Man, Footrot Flats, Annie,Oliver, Fiddler on the Roof andBlood Brothers.

She has also directed a number ofnon-musical plays at The Woolshedand was active with Little Theatrefor a number of years, directingplays for their stage and having

success in one act play festivals.When not directing, there have

been few shows in which Mrs Taylorhasn’t taken some significant role.

She has been stage manager orproduction manager on a number ofoccasions, looked after wardrobeand millinery, been in charge ofproperties and has often engaged inanother of her passions and taken onchoreography.

Mrs Taylor is hands-on when itcomes to helping set up or packdown for shows and has also helpedwith Talos Junior Choir.

Talos members were proud MrsTaylor was recognised by thenational body for the all the hardwork she has done for the societyand the enjoyable entertainment shehas provided for Te Awamututheatre-goers for four decades.

Wanting more from Talos

TC050416DT01MEMBERS of the Talos cast of Oliver in rehearsal for the upcoming production.

The Te Awamutu Light Oper-atic Society cast and crew ofOliver are well into theirrehearsal schedule and directorGwen Hart says it is an absolutejoy to be heading the show.

Oliver is the Lionel Bart musi-cal adapted of the novel OliverTwist by Charles Dickens.

“After having directed othermusicals like ‘My Fair Lady,Camelot and Me and my Girl, to

name but a few, I now offer you myinterpretation of Oliver,” shesays.

“The cast is working very hardto bring the characters alive andthe entire production crew to setthe scene.

“The set is also coming alongand, once painted, the stage at theWoolshed will be transformed intoLondon of the mid 19th century.

“I hope that the show will be

well received by those that come tosee it and that they leave at the endthinking — ‘Please can I havesome more’…

The Oliver season will open onSaturday, May 14 and run for twoweeks until Saturday, May 28 — 13performances in total — 11 even-ing shows and two matinees.

Tickets will be available fromthe Te Awamutu i-Site Centrefrom Wednesday, April 13.

Small changesfor the planet

‘What’s important is thatpeople are confident theycan commit to one smallchange, they have solidreasons for making that

decision, and that they’reprepared to stick to it.’NICOLA TURNER

Keen to live more sustainably, butnot sure how?

Next week there are two workshopsat Walton Street Cafe, hosted bysustainability educators Nicola Turnerand Tracey Cameron that can help.

The women are wives and mothers,as well as business partners in Main-stream Green — a company that helpspeople find ways to make sustainabilityan easy option in people’s busy ordinarylives.

The women came to their ownsustainable choices via different routes,but they share the view that other like-m i n d e d p e o p l e w o u l d s u p p o r tsustainability in their homes, if onlythey knew where to start.

Ms Turner, from Cambridge, is aconsumer goods industry professionalwith an understanding of shoppingpractices.

S h e s a y s b y m a k i n g s m a l ladjustments to start with, people couldbegin their sustainability journey with-out compromising their modern life-styles.

“Making small changes doesn’t needto impact lifestyle, but makes a hugedifference in terms of sustainability.

“What’s important is that people areconfident they can commit to one smallchange, they have solid reasons formaking that decision, and that they’reprepared to stick to it,” she says.

Small but meaningful changes couldinclude committing to a reusable coffeecup, using reusable shopping bags andtaking containers to the shops ratherthan buying packaged products, mini-mising disposable waste — even buyingbamboo toothbrushes, which can haveother uses before they are eventuallydisposed of and will biodegrade.

In presenting the workshops, MsTurner and Mrs Cameron, who is fromMatangi, will divide content into differ-ent areas — In, On, Around and About.

T h e t w o w o r k s h o p s a r e o nWednesday, April 13 — Eating andaround the home (5.30pm-7pm) andFashion and beauty (7.30-9pm).

The cost is $15 for one workshop, or$25 for both.

Walton Street Cafe counter will beopen for hot and cold drink.

Places at the workshops will be

limited, so the pair say booking early isrecommended.

Now,what can do for you?

Beam me up ScottyOnboard the International

Space Station (ISS) aquiet revolution in

spaceflight is beginning. If allgoes according to plan, a newaddition will be installed on theorbiting research outpost thismonth.

The Bigelow ExpandableActivity Module (BEAM) is anew ‘room’ that will be attachedto the station. What makes thisroom different is that instead ofhaving aluminum walls like therest of the ISS, BEAM is aninflatable module with a softfabric shell. It is transported tothe station deflated, then blownup like a balloon until it reachesits full volume of 16 cubicmetres.

Inflatable modules aresmaller and lighter than rigidstructures, meaning that largermodules can be launchedmuch more cheaply.

The concept is not new —NASA first considered the ideain the 1960s but never receivedenough funding to pursue it. Inthe early 2000s privatecompany Bigelow Aerospacebegan developing prototypesand launched two successfultest units into space. NASA

then gave Bigelow a contract tosupply the BEAM module forthe ISS.

While Bigelow is very happywith this contract, it’s actuallymore focused on its own plansto build the world’s firstcommercial space station andspace hotel. Construction iswell underway here on Earth;Bigelow’s main problem ishaving to wait for othercompanies to develop suitablelaunch rockets. This shouldhappen within the next coupleof years and it’s likely thatspace hotels will become areality within ten years.

If the idea of floating aroundin a space balloon makes you

nervous, don’t worry. The fabricshell is at least as safe asaluminum. It has multiple layersto withstand meteoroid impactsand in the unlikely event of apenetration, it would slowly leakinstead of bursting.

Another advantage of thefabric skin is its ability to absorbnoise, making for a quieterliving environment.

There are many otherpotential applications forinflatable space habitats,including buildings on the Moonand Mars. It’s almost certainthat this technology will be aintegral part of future spaceexploration, and it’s taking ahuge step forward right now.

TC050416CA05TE AWAMUTU resident Kate McKinnon views photos ofher relatives John, Kenneth and Robert McKinnon. Thebrothers were the sons of Te Rore farmers William andMary McKinnon. John and Kenneth were killed in actionat Chunuk Bair on August 8, 1915. In a tragic twist,older brother Robert was killed in action on the sameday and month (August 8), but three years later in 1918,after serving with the Canadian Infantry.

TC050416CA04GUESTS listen to speaker Alan Hall (see page 1) from the Pirongia Heritage Centre.

■ From page 1But it turned out that,

although records could eas-ily be found for many ofthose listed, the records ofothers were hard to locate.

“One reason was thatsome of the names recordedwere incomplete, whilespelling errors were com-mon.

“In some cases, theinitials on the WarMemorial Hall tabletsappeared to be for thenames by which those menwere known locally, where-as most of those in theWaipa Post list were theinitials of their actual givennames.

“Initially, it was alsodifficult to understand whysome of those listed were onthe Pirongia Roll of Honourbecause when they enlistedfor military service theylived elsewhere, but ittranspired that some werefrom families who hadlived in the district in thepast and a number hadattended local schools, sothey were still regarded aslocal boys.”

Pirongia CommunityAssociation President JohnWood welcomed relativesof the fallen soldiers, com-munity members andpeople interested in thehistory of the area to thePirongia War MemorialHall.

The ceremony to unveilthe panel also includedspeakers Haupai Puke andTai Huata (PurekirekiMarae) and RSA districtvice-president TerryFindlay. The Last Post andReveille were played byDavid Haberfield, while

the ode was read byPirongia pupils TylerStorey, Zanthe White andJack Ruthe.

A prayer of thanksgiv-ing for the fallen was

given by Padre MurrayOlson. Those whoattended were able to viewthe panel, share storiesand enjoy afternoon teaafter the ceremony.

TC050416SP08ABROTHERS Stewart (left) and William Alexander bothserved in World War I.

The Honours Board of thePirongia Memorial Hallfeatures W. Alexander —William Alexander ofMangapiko — who volun-teered early in the conflict anddied in action in 1916 aged 23.

The following year hisbrother Stewart turned 21 andvolunteered to serve — begin-ning a 33-year militaryassociation.

His niece Flora Boumareports he left from Welling-ton as a Lance Corporal but bythe time he marched intoEtaples in France in June hadbeen promoted to Corporal.

In October Stewart Alexan-der was again promoted, toSergeant, and in Novemberwas awarded the Dis-tinguished Conduct Medal.

In 1918, now a Lieutenant,Stewart was wounded inaction, still in France.

He was transferred from aFrench hospital to GeorgesHospital in London, where herecovered.

Letters home to a cousinwhile serving in Franceshowed young Stewartthought the country was mag-nificent — all the fields up tothree miles from the frontwere in wheat, oats, beans,peas, potatoes, clover,marigolds or hops.

There was no wasteland.But I could not describe

Messines Battlefield to you if Itried, for the havoc and ruindefies description.

Just imagine all your beau-tiful aspen trees torn, smashedand uprooted and not a branchleft on any of them.

Everything was destroyed— no grass anywhere — just

gaping holes and devastation.He and other soldiers

enjoyed occasional opportun-ities to help France’s old menand young girls to reap theharvests.

He also wrote that headmired the efforts of theYMCA to provide entertain-ment and tea and biscuitsclose to the front lines.

But the war itself he foundsickening.

Stewart confided that thefirst German he bayonettedwas with a sense of revengefor William. But later,sickened by the killing, hefaced a young soldier lying inthe mud and looking up athim with terrified eyes.

Stewart helped the boy up— but never wrote whether helet him go or took himprisoner.

In 1919 he returned homeand in 1924 was transferred toReserve of Officers and duringWWII, in 1943, he was a Majorin the Home Guard.

Stewart Alexander retiredfrom the military in 1950.

His name lives on — Stew-art Alexander Golf Club isnamed in his honour.

The original Pokuru GolfClub had a nine hole courseon Stewart Alexander’s farm.

Every Saturday he wouldmove the sheep from thecourse and prepare it for theday’s competition — and henever charged a penny.

When the farm was sold,the arrangement ceased, andPokuru Golf Club boughttheir current land and estab-lished the 18-hole coursenamed after the man who hadbeen so generous.

Big time exposure for young rugby talentAn invitational Waikato Under 21

rugby team will have a rare internationalfixture against the Fijian Under 20 teamat Albert Park, Te Awamutu tomorrownight.

The match, kicking off at 7.30pm onWednesday, is part of the Fiji Under 20preparations for the upcoming 2016World Rugby Under 20 Championship inEngland.

Waikato Rugby Union jumped at therequest from Fiji to host the game, seeingit as a chance to expose those players whohave recently left the academy system toa higher level of rugby.

WRU director of rugby Leon Holden,

who will coach the Waikato Under 21team alongside WRU emerging playersmanager Kent Currie, is excited aboutthe one off fixture.

“This is a great opportunity for us togive an important age group of playersgame time at a higher level to gaugewhere they are at. It will also provide achance for some players who haverecently moved to the province to maketheir mark,” says Holden.

“The match will give our New ZealandUnder 20 hopefuls another game toimpress the selectors and at the sametime help our Pacific neighbours whohave a heavy influence on rugby in the

Waikato, particularly on the club scene.”The selection of the Waikato players

has been spread evenly across thepremier and division 1 clubs so there isminimal disruptions to those teams asthey work into their seasons.

The sole Te Awamutu player to beincluded is Tiuke Mahoni, who will starton the bench subject to passing a fitnesstest after receiving a head knock playingfor Te Awamutu Sports against premierclub champions Hamilton Marist onSaturday.

Mahoni is a No 8 out of Sacred HeartCollege in Auckland. He is in the WaikatoAcademy.

Special Note:Jag (formerly of Health 2000,Te Awamutu)

is available to assist you with health concerns.

Former Te Awamutu Osteopath Dr Dave Ward-Smith

has opened a new health shop in Dinsdale, Hamilton.

After an accident that put him in a coma, Dr Ward-

Smith says it was his colleagues knowledge of

supplementation that allowed him to make a

miraculous recovery.

It was this experience that prompted him to open a

health shop that stocks supplements, homeopathic

remedies, herbal remedies and essential oils.

Thai massage, a sleep clinic and counselling are also

available.

Dr Ward-Smith says they didn’t want to be part

of a franchise so the Health Shop Hamilton is an

independent store.

“It allows us to sell quality natural health products that

we believe in.”

“We also have a host of practitioners available who can

work together to give you optimum health.”

Ekko Park opening forthe Jordan Luck Band

Popular NZ rockers EkkoPark are joining Kiwi rockicon Jordan Luck and hisband to play an intimate oneoff up close and personal gigat Hamilton’s popularNivara Lounge (R18 venue)and we have a copy of theirsophomore CD Know Hopeto get you amped for themuch anticipated occasion.

The Jordan Luck Bandand Ekko Park come toHamilton at 8pm on Satur-day, April 30.

Ekko Park’s latest singleProbable Cause from KnowHope debuted at No.3 in theItalian Rock Charts behindThe Foo Fighters and BenHarper. Wow!

They have made quite asplash in rock circles withsuch popular tracks asSimpatico, Becoming TheEnemy, Always a Fire andMy Crime (which made TheRock FM’s Hottest 100 list inboth 2013 and 2014) — allfrom their debut albumTomorrow TomorrowToday — which was nomin-ated for Best Rock Album atthe 2014 New Zealand MusicAwards

Other singles from KnowHope include the brilliantValidation and imminentlyreleasing newbie SurfaceBreaks, which will be ac-companied by a stunning360 degree interactive video.

Ekko Park’s drummer isNick Douch, originallyfrom Te Awamutu and aBachelor of Music graduatefrom Hamilton’s ownWintec.

“A big goal for oursecond album was to haveour songs stack up inter-nationally,” he says.

“We were proud of thesongs we had written andgot in an international pro-duction team to work on the

album with us.“To see Probable Cause

get the reaction it did in justone week in Italy is over-whelming and has reallygotten the ball rolling for usin Europe. It is currentlysitting inside the top 20 afterfour weeks alongside someof rocks biggest names andhas been added to an addi-tional 200 stations acrossEurope.”

Look out for all thosewell-known Exponents hitsthat made Jordan a house-hold name.

Kiwi classics such asVictoria, Whatever Hap-pened To Tracy, Who LovesWho The Most?, I’ll SayGoodbye, Why Does Love DoThis To Me?, Like She Said,Your Best Friend Loves MeToo, La La Lulu and SinkLike A Stone — timelesstunes that are just as rele-vant to Kiwi culture now asthey were when they firsthit the airwaves.

Relive those heady daysat the Hilly and look out toofor songs from their debutalbum including Can I HelpYou and Only If You’reLonely.

Will they also belt outHow Is The Air Up There?and possibly Be Mine To-night and Blue Lady as Luckis a staunch supporter ofKiwi music and is knownfor his live covers of otherKiwi bands hit songs.

There’s only one way tofind out — be there! Be inquick, this much antici-pated double bill will sellout in a heartbeat.
