Wondering how waka ama competitors will deal with the gold clam?

Libby Totton Reporter from Cambridge Edition

Thousands of waka ama competitors and dozens of water craft are to place the biggest test yet on the fragile containment of invasive gold clams since they were discovered in the Waikato River.

Thousands of waka ama competitors and dozens of water craft are to place the biggest test yet on the fragile containment of invasive gold clams since they were discovered in the Waikato River.

But despite paddlers heading back to so-far unsullied lakes around the country once competition wraps up, biosecurity officials and event organisers are confident no clams will be hitching rides on waka to other parts of New Zealand, with boat use rules and bottles of bleach among their weapons.

Where do you go when you want a swim?

The Team Reporter from Hamilton Press

Hamilton water use is climbing along with the mercury with the city using about 15% more than an average summer day, meaning restrictions could soon follow as the region swelters.

And many are already heading to the river to cool off.

Have you stopped doing any hobbies to save money?

When times are tough, it seems yoga sessions are among the first to go.

Matthew Smart is closing his Iyengar Yoga Centre in Hamilton and will take up a regular job with someone else paying his wage again for the first time in 30 years.

Matthew Smart is closing his Iyengar Yoga Centre in Hamilton and will take up a regular job with someone else paying his wage again for the first time in 30 years.

And an economist says this kind of thing could be a result of increased competition in the market and less money to go around.

Te Huia trains cancelled for two weeks

Wot I rote:

Wot I rote:
'Are you nuts? No Te Huia service in the holidays? Who thought that one up? Someone with no children, no holidays, no life.
We use Te Huia pretty much only IN the holidays.
You can tell me that AT have cancelled their services for maintenance of tracks, but we know Auckland is nuts. That's why we want a train service so we can get in, get out, without having to actually engage or deal with Aucklanders or their transport. What else would you expect of them? Somebody might actually rely on their services, give up their car and the cloggy commute if there was a reliable service, and we wouldn't want that, would we?
But I expected better of you guys .I thought we were aiming for a 'First World service', not an amateur hobby railway.
The whole London Transport network runs everyday. Repairs are done at night, and, granted, some parts of the network probably do need more maintenance, but it wouldn't occur to them to close the WHOLE NETWORK for two weeks because they fancy an amble and a poke on the rail tracks.
It might sound like I am angry but actually I am astonished, shocked and disappointed. This is not how you run an infrastructure, and you can tell AT from me, any opportunity you get because they are not interested in feedback from anyone outside their network who doesn't have an AT Hop card.
I have spent many conversations supporting a new rail line, how it is the way of the future for any modern country, singing your praises at the naysayers, asserting that a good rail service is one sign of three for me of a civilised country, and now you tell me, at the busiest tourist season in the country, in the largest city, that there are NO TRAINS at all running.
I will have to swallow my words now, suffer the humiliation of the crowing of the petrolheads and hang my head in shame.
Very disappointed, A Williams

Have you ridden the Glen Afton Line?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

The platforms were crowded and there were plenty of smiles as trains chugged up the Glen Afton Line.

It's about 12km southwest of Huntly and was initially built to cart coal, but has been kept alive by enthusiasts.

Have you made it to the beach this summer?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Waikato lifeguards might have been “bloody active” over summer, but they’re pleased with beachgoer behaviour and don’t have standout rescues to report.

After last summer’s destructive storms and torrential rain it’s no surprise people are packing out the beaches.
