Waipa District Libraries’ Artists at Work 2018 started this week in Te Awamutu Library’s Community Room to showcase some of the district’s best artists and crafts-people. Heather Campbell has recently returned from New South Wales to live in Te Awa- mutu and was a participant in the first session on Tuesday. She paints in oils — mainly portraits and commissions — but is also looking to expand into more landscape, which she enjoys. Before moving to Australia, Heather taught art at Fairfield TC150318ART01 AND TC150318ART02 College.

Te Awamutu people of all ages, occupations and faiths gathered for the sixth annual Day of Bless- ing in Te Awamutu. The event, organised by the Combined Churches of Te Awa- mutu, brings together and blesses the people of Te Awamutu. Te Awamutu church leaders blessed local groups from education, business, culture, media, sports, family and church. Coordinator Bob Sin- clair says the idea of a Christian blessing is new to some people. “Some are sceptical and others are open to it,” he says. The event doesn’t aim to be a church service but a way to recognise and honour the unseen volun- teers in Te Awamutu. “We’re really thrilled with the participation from the community,” he says. “The fact that there were all sectors of the community there was ter- rific.” TC150318BR01 The Day of Blessing DAY of Blessing guest speaker this year was nine-time was at the Te Awamutu New Zealand superbike champion Andrew Stroud.

Your employment agreement is a record of the conditions of work that you have agreed to, and if you’re an employee you must have a written employment agreement — it’s the law. “Even if you don’t have a written employment agreement, you are still entitled to minimum employment rights,” says Jessica Brown from Citizens Advice Bureau Te Awamutu. “For example, you can’t be paid less than the minimum wage, and once you’ve worked at a place for a while you’re entitled to paid annual leave, sick leave and bereavement leave.” TC150318SPBALLOONS2 “If your employer wants you to NEXT Saturday’s Nightglow features hot air balloons, food vendors, fireworks and five hours of live entertainment. work a 90-day trial, they can only do this if it’s in your written employment Hot air balloons from around District Council and is free to The opening spectacle is the 7.30am.

12 Te Awamutu Courier Thursday, March 15, 2018 Official opening of The Powerhouse

Waipa Mayor Jim Mylchreest officially opened the new home of Te Awamutu law firm Edmonds Judd on Saturday — The Powerhouse, 486 Alexandra Street. A large crowd of clients, along with people associated with the building’s refurbishment, and past and present staff and their families, were present for the official opening. The Mayor and Edmonds Judd managing partner Simon Brdanovic spoke to the onlookers and officially opened the building for business. While The Powerhouse has TC150318SPJIM been completely modernised CROWD gathered for Saturday’s official opening of The Powerhouse. and refurbished, the building has had a long and varied his- tory as the former home to New Zealand’s first power board — hence the name The Power- house. Jim referred to Edmonds Judd’s origins dating back nearly 140 years in Te Awamutu, joking that this was probably in response to the local Council being formed only a few years earlier, and the inundation of rules and regulations as a result. However, he said that it was his aim to reduce unnecessary bureaucratic restrictions, and projects such as The Power- house were examples of this in Te Awamutu.
