Among those handing out medals was Silver Fern netball great and TRYathlon ambassador Casey Kopua, who recalls giving the TRYathlon a go as a nine- or 10-year-old in Hamilton. “You don’t have to be the best as long as you try hard and have a go,” she said. “IIt exposes you to how sport makes you feel or whether you will continue to take part in triathlons.

The old church was built in 1923, and was the original Presbyterian church in Kaiti. Members of the Tongan community had used it for worship for the past 10 years. The church remains in the ownership of St David’s Presbyterian Church next door. David Langford, a member of the Parish council for St David’s Presbyterian Church, said the church community were shocked. “It’s not going to interfere with our own worship, however, we are feeling for the Tongan community to whom we gave use of the building.” Mr Langford said fortunately St David’s church was not affected by the fire. “There is superficial damage to the hall attached to the main church building but it could have been much worse. “The firefighters did a brilliant job to not only save our church, given how the wind was blowing the fire that way, but also save the preschool on the other side of it.” Mr Langford said the old church building used to be in Wainui Road. “It was moved to the current site in the early 1960s.” TOTAL DESTRUCTION: Firefighters fought for an hour to bring the fire under control at this old church building A member of the Free Church of Tonga community on Rutene Road.

As the floodwaters rose around Mataura last Wednesday, widespread evacuations were ordered. Many residents believe it was due to the threat of water mixing with ouvea premix stored in Mataura’s disused paper mill and letting off a cloud of ammonia gas. Almost 10 tonnes of the hazardous waste from Tiwai Point’s aluminium smelter is stored in the mill. Last week, Gore District Council said it had managed to reach a handshake deal to get it moved from Mataura to Tiwai Point, but that agreement was overruled by Rio Tinto, majority owners of New Zealand Aluminium Smelters. Gore District Council chief executive Steve Parry said he was devastated by the turn around. “It was agreed by the three people in that room including (New Zealand Aluminium Smelters chief executive) Stewart Hamilton that I would make the statements that I did and we went through the points. “And it was agreed, that in the public interest, we should make a statement as opposed to saying we are in negotiations and there are no details we TIME TO SPEAK UP: Lynsey Abbott, with Henare O’Keefe at the karakia for the badly injured Flaxmere boy, says she is can give you,” Parry said. “heartbroken” over the incident. NZ Herald picture Parry characterised the agreement as a handshake deal, which he was informed by Mr Hamilton had been vetoed by Rio Tinto. “I’m quite keen to get that dross out of there, it is a very big concern to the community in Mataura. “So to find that you have been pipped at the ‘Our hearts are broken’ post by superiors who don’t see the need to act with urgency and don’t see the need for them to be further involved in providing a solution is devastating and very disappointing,” Parry said.

I look for something that grabs my interest, something that is a little unusual. We take so much for granted because we see things all the time. In photography, we can isolate parts of a subject and isolate the senses to look at something purely visually. What Kate and I wanted to do was to show a broad spectrum of the sort of thing that can be done.” Lamp-post by Kate Snow, Applause by Elenor Gill. ArtsGuide
