Some vaccines now involve the science of nanotechnology. One can only ask — will the altering of human genes with mRNA vaccinations open a Pandora’s Box that can never be closed or corrected? What about the list of successful alternatives to the vaccination being used by doctors around the world, and which are supported by studies? One example is the National Institutes of Health in the US which, after reviewing 30 studies, has now approved Ivermectin as an effective option for treating Covid-19. So why are some highly qualified medical professionals having their scientific and medical opinions blocked and silenced by mainstream media and the medical establishment? Why is the internet deplatforming these professionals and deleting their information? Is there still a place for free speech within the medical profession? These vaccines cannot be for the common good until they have been adequately tested. People: Please do your own research. Ignorance is not a saving grace. Barbara Linton
Get reacquainted At a meeting at the RSA last month local friends of Memorial Park claimed the name of ‘War Memorial Maintenance Committee’. Prior to the park’s official opened in December 1955, the publicly funded memorial was vested to council for its maintenance. The original committee for the control of future maintenance then consisted of six members: Park designer Harrold Babbage as chairman, two councillors, a member of Te Awamutu’s Beatification Society and two RSA members. The objective of the new War Memorial Maintenance Committee is to uphold the integrity and vision of our unique memorial. Recently it was seen appropriate to resurrect a completely overgrown pathway leading away from Dawson Place, next to the netball courts. As with other salient memorial features in the park design, there were three pathways between the lake and netball courts. It is 20 years or more since the lower river walk and its stairway to the middle path was closed, leaving two paths remaining. Stone battered and wooden retaining and a stone seat was revealed. The concrete path had originally led all the way to the large pond but now ends about 50 metres in where a section had been washed out. A scenic view of the river bend can now be had where a barrier is installed. The lower path has been missed. Many who have encountered it fondly recall using it. The Maintenance Committee consider it is another example of management toward minimising and removal of memorial features. They invite you to go enjoy it and for many, to get reacquainted with this delightful memorial feature. Marc Dawson
Community spirit I went to the Bakehouse in Alexandra Street to buy a drink last week and the assistant gave me change for a $10 note when I thought I had paid with a $20. After querying this the assistant was unsure, and I wasn’t certain so I let it slide and left. The next day I was shopping in Pak’n Save and a woman, the owner of The Bakehouse, approached me and gave me $10, explaining that when she cashed up she realised the error. I don’t live in Te Awamutu, but I think this demonstrated an exceptionally honest and caring community spirit. Linda Cheesman Thursday, March 4, 2021 Te Awamutu Courier 7

I maintain the fact that I will con- tinue to go to their summer concerts each year for as long as they keep doing Six60 Saturdays. They were supported by AACACIA, Paige, Mitch James and Drax Project.

Building Social History display at the library, appreciated. Photos / Supplied researcher Sandra Metcalfe interviewed Weyman Ballantyne about the morgue and was fascinated by the stories he told. Weyman served his carpentry apprentice- ship with Clark & McMillan between 1952 and 1956 and soon after starting work was assigned to making coffins. He recalled the inside walls being lined with vertical tongue-and-groove panelling, and coffins being stacked on racks in the lower end of the lean-to. Part of Weyman’s job was to seal the coffin joints with pitch to prevent body fluids leaching out. The pitch was chipped out of a barrel, put on the primus to melt, then tipped into the head of the coffin and swirled around to seal the joins before it cooled. Cedric Purdie, whose memoirs are held in the Te Awamutu Museum, recalled working in the mortuary in the 1930s. He too had to prepare pitch to seal the coffins but for him the pitch kept bursting into flames in the melting pot. The building had an entrance on Alexandra St and Weyman recalls working in an area less than 3m x 3m. When a coffin was required, he would take it down from the racks, fit the linings, frills, pillows and hardware and get it to pick up a body. The standard coffin was 5‘7” x 1‘6” (1.7m x 0.45m) but occasionally an oversized coffin was required. They nicknamed this “the barge”. The hearse would be parked outside the door to the mortuary, waiting for business. Cedric recalls the mortuary car serving mul- tiple purposes, not only as a hearse, but also as a carpet and linoleum delivery vehicle. It was during Cedric’s time that the “old morgue” was built and it was used for that until the new mortuary — now part of the Baptist Church complex — was built in the 1960s. In the time he worked there, Weyman estim- ates that less than 30 per cent of bodies were embalmed. Those that were embalmed had to be taken to Hood St in Hamilton before being brought back to Te Awamutu for the funeral. The “old morgue”, despite its name, was used mainly for making coffins. Its loss coincides with Heritage Month 2021. The old, unreinforced brick structure stood no chance against the truck that backed into it. Now that the display of local commercial buildings and their heritage is over, Sandra and her fellow researcher Alan Hall are focusing on a publication for release during Heritage Month in 2022. They were thrilled with public feedback on the 32 buildings that have been researched over the past four years. Visitors turned up from as far away as Auckland and Tauranga. Being part of the Waipa¯Libraries Heritage Month activities, with the support of Dee Atkinson and her team of librarians, has defin- itely raised public awareness, says Sandra.
