Two farmers badly hurt

Two local farmers were seriously injured in separate incidents over the past week. On Wednesday afternoon emergency services were called to a Puahue property to attend to a man who had apparently impaled himself through the stomach on a fence post. Te Awamutu firefighters were first at the scene and they attended to the patient before the arrival of two ambulances and St John paramedics. St John Ambulance service says the man’s condition was serious and he was taken to Waikato Hospital. On Sunday the Waikato Westpac Rescue Helicopter was required to rescue a farmer who had gone over the side of a steep bank while riding his farm bike south of Te Awamutu. The team used the New Zealand Com- munity Trust Rescue Winch due to the inaccessibility of the man’s position. He was flown to Waikato Hospital in a serious condition. Alix enjoys HR success

TC080316SP09A YOUNG HR Practitioner Alix Hancock.

Former Te Awamutu College head student Alix Hancock (nee Waters) was recently named runner-up in the Emerg- ing HR Practitioner of the Year. This award recognises practitioners who demonstrate excellence in the HR profession and have been in the workforce for less than four years. The New Zealand HR awards dinner was held at the Auckland War Memorial Museum. Alix is currently working for the Wise Group in Hamilton, after graduating from Waikato University and working in HR roles in Melbourne and Sydney. Her goal is to be a leader in the HR field. “I don’t have a specialist field at this stage, but enjoy the challenge and variety in partnering with business leaders to achieve positive people outcomes, which sees increased engagement in an organisation.” 6 Te Awamutu Courier Tuesday, March 8, 2016

World Wetlands Day (Sat- urday, February 27) was combined with a celebration and official opening of the upgraded Lake Nga¯roto track. The lake is a natural wetland and home to native plants and animals. It is a popular place to visit and is already well used for activities including yachting, rowing, wind surfing, fishing, walking and picnicking. Early last year, Waipa Dis- trict Council did some work to improve water quality and upgraded the 6km track surrounding the lake. In its last 10-Year Plan, the Council signalled its inten- tion to spend up to $1 million developing the lake over the next decade.
