A virus has changed how we live, we are adjusting to “self isolation” and “social distancing”. Today’s Cambridge News is the first in the new environment as the country accepts the way to stop the spread is to…

Divide and conquer Just over two decades ago the world braced for a cataclysmic disaster.

The Y2K Millennium Bug was poised, as we farewelled December 31, 1999, to create a computer crisis. Our bank balances would disappear, computers would not work, communication would be limited.

For all the multi-billion-dollar bluster, it was a false dawn – the world carried on in the same way it did eight years on in the wake of the Global Financial Crisis and 13 years later after Pakuranga MP Maurice Williamson said it would once Government passed the Marriage Amendment bill.

If there is a similar expectation in the community that the warnings over Covid-19 will eventually be condemned by history as another unnecessary portent of doom, then it is both regretful and dangerous.

We are in the grip of a global pandemic which threatens the lives of communities in the way the Black Plague did in Europe, Africa and Asia over a seven-year period 700 years ago.

The country has been told it is time to stop interacting and transferring the virus. That is the way it will be for the next four weeks, at least.

Steps taken over the last week, and driven by the Government, were aimed not at stopping the virus, but to slow its spread – to enable health professionals to cope, to enable business to continue.

At Level 4, the hope must be that with so many businesses closed, we can strangle the life out of Covid-19 in New Zealand. If that is successful, however, we will remain isolated as a nation from much of the rest of the world as it fights the virus and searches for a medical response to combat it.

Steps to reduce contact between people have left major companies in limbo, it has slashed into the job market and left the world nervous about the future.

The potential human toll is equally serious – rest homes are discouraging visitors. Our elderly community in the suburbs will require help.

The response to date has been largely positive, though the scramble to

clear out supermarket shelves has highlighted a mixture of good planning and outright greed.

No company and no family will be untouched by the impact of the virus.

Today on Page 5 we present an information guide to help readers.

Along with a series of Covid-19 stories today, they explain who is doing what around Waipā and what you should do in certain situations.

As with everything around the Virus issue, it is a work in progress – it will not be a complete guide and we will be running weekly updates.

By the time you read this editorial, enough time will have passed for more information to have emerged. We urge you to monitor news reports in print (yes – even our rival publications) and digital.

Follow the rules, wash your hands regularly with soap, (soap opens the envelope containing the virus and renders it impotent), keep your distance from people – remember there are people on social media making up stories or being naïve enough to pass on nonsense. If you have questions, go to the Government website, https://covid19.govt.nz/ We plan to be in your letter boxes through these challenging times and we will be looking harder than ever for the good news stories which make our community special.

Your News will look a little different – our stories will largely be gathered by phone; story illustrations may now be from files or “selfies”.

Our family of advertisers are already feeling the impact, and many cannot advertise their offerings and talents, because they, too, are victims of the decisive action being taken to counter the spread of Covid-19.

But we will keep calm and carry on.

As Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern stressed, the distance we put between us today could save tens of thousands of New Zealand lives.

They may be called Boomerang Bags, but Cambridge’s Gloria Scott doesn’t do it because she expects anything back.

“I just enjoy the creative process,” she said.

Gloria has been a member of Plastic Free Cambridge for about two years, and in that time, she has handmade and sewn over 3000 Boomerang Bags - communitymade reusable bags normally made from recycled cloth or material.

That's the most of any individual group member and Gloria has made 20 to 30 bags a week since she joined the group in March 2018.

“I patchwork lots of them, from old pieces of cloth, or material I have around.

After about the first two or three weeks of making them I thought I’d better start keeping count of them, so I have.”

To help her keep up the steady pace she works at, Gloria prepares some of the elements it takes to make the bags including the handles and patches.

The bags the group makes are distributed far and wide in town with many going to Wholly Cow and FreshChoice among other places to be sold, Gloria said.

Her bags are now identifiable too, after

she’d made the first few hundred or so, she decided she would start including a duck logo sewn into each bag she finished.

Gloria’s love of sewing has been life long.

“I first started sewing and making my own clothes when I was about 12.”

The social aspect of being part of Plastic Free Cambridge, which has been meeting every Sunday afternoon at the Health & Community Centre in Taylor St, is what Gloria loves the most.

“It’s a great group, some people come along to the group to sew, but my sewing machine is too big and heavy to bring so I go along to socialise and make most of my bags from home.”

Plastic Free Cambridge spokesperson Kathy Anderson said the group has about 12 members.

She’s in awe of Gloria’s work.

“We couldn’t do what we do without her, it’s as simple as that.”

The group recently received a grant from Waipā District Council’s waste minimisation fund and such help is invaluable Kathy said, because the supply of fabric group members use to make the bags is either donated, or they purchase it themselves.

For more information about Plastic Free Cambridge, visit the group’s Facebook Gloria Scott with some of her Boomerang Bags. page.

On the beat with DEB THURGOOD Getting through the isolation Things have escalated considerably since last week around the Coronavirus pandemic and there are a number of increased precautions we must take to try to minimise the spread of Coronavirus and its impact on New Zealand.

The Government website https:// covid19.govt.nz is a comprehensive source of information about what is happening, the measures that are being put in place and what is required of each of us, not only to protect ourselves and our whanau, but also the wider community. At the time of writing, we are on alert Level 2 (of 4). At all levels, health services, emergency services, utilities and goods transport and other essential services, operations and staff are expected to keep running.

This situation is an uncertain one and many will be feeling anxious about everything that is happening. Panic buying in our supermarkets is one symptom of this.

As our Prime Minister and supermarkets have clearly communicated, the supply chains are robust, and the panic buying has to stop. Panic buying places many of those doing it under unnecessary financial stress and causes those who can only buy

groceries on a week by week basis to miss out. If everyone simply shops to their normal levels, the stores will be able to restock as usual and no one goes without.

Anxiety is quite normal given what is going on. It is important to not only be kind to others at this time, but also to be kind to ourselves. Here are some tips for getting through: If in self-isolation, whether as a family, household or alone, the stretch of time is redefined and can be our enemy when it comes to anxiety and overthinking. Make up a timetable - on a whiteboard or just a piece of paper. Schedule your day into activity times and keep yourself in a routine.

Take the opportunity to do things that bring you pleasure, such as listening to an audio book or learning something new from YouTube and be sure to exercise regularly.

In this digital age we are being bombarded with information, rumours, memes and even scams relating to Covid-19. It is sensible to keep up to date with developments but decide on a time when you will check the news and limit yourself to that. Use trustworthy scientific based sources of information and ignore

the anecdotal ones.

Be careful about the quality of Coronavirus information you share with others too. Turn off notifications to give yourself a mental break and try not to always be thinking about the Coronavirus.

Focus on the things over which you have control (such as hand washing and social distancing) but try not to worry about that over which you have none.

Try to keep your social networks intact, substituting physical contact with online video chats, phone calls and emails. If you start to feel overwhelmed, take a break, talk to someone and reach out for help.

Cambridge, I see that we are already rising to this challenge together; I see it in the offers of delivery from businesses, from private individuals helping out their neighbours and even strangers and from the community groups that are rallying to ensure everyone, especially our isolated and elderly, aren’t forgotten. Keep up the momentum, keep calm and wash your hands.

Briefs… Councils Doors close

Waipā District Council has shut the doors of its Cambridge and Te Awamutu offices tomorrow as well as halls, playgrounds, pounds and other community facilities across the district. Waipā District Council chief executive Garry Dyet said Council would continue to offer essential services to residents, and phone and internet services. Dog parks, most public toilets and other recreational spaces will still be open to the public, but residents are urged to practise physical distancing measures when using these spaces. The Council held an urgent meeting this week to discuss which services would be available and how it would continue to govern during the shutdown period.

Funders respond

By Jeremy Smith

Waipā District Council will look at its books again a week after announcing it was proposing a 4.2 percent rate rise.

And the Waikato Regional Council has already held an emergency meeting where it was decided to strive for a zero percent increase for the 2020-21 financial year – and it wants g overnment to pave the way for “virtual” meetings.

Waikato District Councillor mayor Allan Sanson led an emergency meeting on Tuesday to discuss their response including the delegation of functions and powers during the Covid-10 pandemic.

“There are tough times ahead for the people of our region, indeed the people of New Zealand. We need to be in tune with our tightening

economy and the challenges our people are going to be facing across the Waikato,” regional council chair Russ Rimmington said.

Waipā District’s review be an effort to control any rates increase and associated negative impact and stress in light of Covid-19.

Speaking to the Cambridge News ahead of the regional council announcement, mayor Jim Mylchreest said the 4.2 percent proposal was outlined in the annual plan before Covid-19 came to light and council would look to reduce the impact on ratepayers where possible.

“I can assure everyone that we will be looking closely at every item,” he said.

But he warned putting items off would only delay the time when they would have to be paid for.

“We must also be mindful that simply deferring work will have a negative impact on the economy and may lead to higher rates increases in the future.

“Our prime focus during these troubling times is the health and economic wellbeing of our community and the ability to bounce back as early as possible.”

The council, like others all

Trust Waikato has allocated $1 million towards funding a Covid-19 response its chief executive Dennis Turton says other Waikato community funders will be contributing further through combined action and grants. “This is a hugely important way to support the work of non-profit organisations who will be working at the coalface to protect and look after our most vulnerable communities,” he said. Target groups identified for funding include rural support Russ Rimmington organisations, community houses, those who work with the elderly and at-risk groups and mental health support networks.

over the country, had closed some public facilities before the Alert Level rose this week.

Mr Mylchreest said the proposed rates increase was largely determined by the capital expenditure programme for critical infrastructure.

“On top of that is rapid district growth, and increased regulatory requirements have needed to be factored in.”

The rates proposal was identified before Covid-19, a situation which is “changing daily and making life harder for everyone”.

“Yes, we will need to look at what we can do to control any rates increase.”

Mr Mylchreest encouraged ratepayers to use council’s rates remit policy.

“It is available for people to use in difficult times, so we do encourage people to

look at this if they are finding themselves struggling,” he said.

The annual plan opened for consultation on Monday online at www.waipadc. govt.nz/haveyoursay and will remain open until April 24.

Following Monday’s emergency meeting Cr Rimmington said it was important that his council was able to respond swiftly.

“We’ve shown that we can tonight, and indeed are likely to be the first council in the country to move as quickly.”

Rather than holding formal meetings, urgent Waikato Regional Council decisions will be made by an emergency committee comprising chair Russ Rimmington, the chair of the relevant committee and chief executive Vaughan Payne by consensus.

The decision is in line with guidance from Local Government New Zealand.

“The Government has made the right decision for the safety of New Zealanders. It’s now very important that as a council we implement a plan that enables our organisation to continue providing essential services, because there are jobs, we do that have an impact on

people’s lives,” said Cr Rimmington.

A full review of the council’s services is already underway.

“You might wonder why councillors can’t continue to meet virtually. Quite simply, legislation requires councillors to be physically present to constitute a quorum. If legislation is changed there could be a move to electronic meetings instead of using the urgent decision-making delegations,” he said.

Councillors agreed during the meeting to lobby government to push forward with legislation changes to enable fully virtual meetings. In the meantime, staff would continue working on ways to enable that to better happen.

The emergency committee and delegations will be reviewed as soon as reasonably possible should such a legislative change to quorum requirements be made.

A dog’s tale, river style Since being shared on Camjet’s Facebook page, the story with a heart-warmingly happy ending has received 31,000 views, nearly 300 likes, been shared on nearly 120 people’s pages and had more than 90 comments.

Aaron has owned and operated Camjet since 2011 and takes up to 1000 thrill-seeking clients a year on his Waikato River tour, at speeds of up to 90km/h.

The route runs from the Dominion Ave boat ramp to the base of Karapiro Dam and back and along the way, Aaron stops at various points to tell customers about the history of the area.

That’s what he was doing when one of the clients spotted the dog.

“Because of where he’d fallen in - near the southern end of Cambridge Golf Club - the dog was trying to climb back up the banks but then just kept falling back in.”

Above the river, the owner was looking for him too, but to no avail.

He said the customers on board the boat

A funeral service is important for two reasons 1. A funeral gives people a chance to share their feelings while being supported by family, friends and others in the community who have known the person that has died.

2. It’s also a time to celebrate the life of that person, to hear stories, make tributes and

share memories; the good times and funny moments, their favourite music and unique contributions he or she has made.

Let us guide and support you in your time of need with dignity and sincerity, honouring the person you are farewelling.

Covid-19 information

Internet strong

TUANZ – the Telecommunications Users Association of NZ - is confident New Zealand’s internet will be up to the task over the next four weeks. Those on the fixed fibre network are unlikely to notice any detriment to their service as thousands shift to working from home, TUANZ CEO Craig Young said. However, he said those in rural areas may see a slow down as usage increases and if people are trying to complete data-heavy tasks like video calls

Essential services

Community Constable Ryan Fleming, based in Te Awamutu, has pleaded with businesses to “give our medical staff a fighting chance at the coal face”.

He said he had seen a number of businesses on social media stating they will remain open because they consider themselves essential. “Don’t try to find loopholes in the system to justify staying open.

We get one shot at beating this,” he said. “Give my colleagues, who all have families too, a fighting chance at keeping you all safe and secure.”

Off the buses

BUSIT services in Hamilton will only be available to people who work in an essential service or who need to use the bus to access an essential service like healthcare or the supermarket. Bus travel will also be free of charge until further notice, but at a reduced timetable. Waikato Regional Council chairman Russ Rimmington says providing free buses for those who work in or need to access essential services has the Government mandate across New Zealand.

Filling up

Fuel supplier Z says it’s not feasible to put hand sanitisers by every pump, because there are not enough – and it is better they go to “the people and places who need it most” – immune-compromised households, rest homes, pharmacies, hospitals and other medical centres. Z says people concerned about touching the pump handle should wrap them in the paper towels provided.

Businesses must ‘dig deep’

By Viv Posselt

Cambridge Chamber of Commerce CEO Kelly Bouzaid is hopeful the town’s business sector can withstand the upheaval linked to the mandatory COVID-19 shutdown.

The pandemic had seen a ‘swift and significantly detrimental impact’ affect business at both a local and national level, she said.

“These are extremely testing times for everyone; Cambridge is not isolated from it. Our hospitality and event industry has

been decimated overnight, with many other industries heading in the same direction. We have had inbound correspondence from day one, and that is only going to increase as the situation changes. As a Chamber, we are here to ensure our businesses have the guidance and support they need in this rapidly changing environment.

“We are not limiting our advice and support to Chamber members,” she added.

“We have great connectivity, good collaboration and can offer

support to anyone requiring it. They need not be a member of the Chamber.”

Many businesses had already applied for and received the early Government subsidies on offer, she said. “The fact the Government has now opened up that access even further, including to new businesses and start-ups, makes quite a difference.

There is no question that the wage subsidy issue is proving challenging, but I am confident that together we can get through this.”

Kelly said one of the

warming aspects she noted was the number of employers demonstrating a duty of care and concern for their frontline staff. “As much as businesses are understandably very worried, they want to keep their teams safe.”

She suggested Cambridge businesses would need to ‘dig deep, get it together and support one another’ during this time. She hoped the benefits derived from the Totally Locally Cambridge initiative, launched late last year to encourage shoppers to support local businesses, would see people continue to

do that where they could.

For now, it’s a case of business ‘as usual’ with efforts redirected to new challenges, she said. “We are developing some initiatives to enable us to operate in the virtual space – that is going to become the norm.

“I am writing a blog on the Chamber’s role, one that will also offer business strategies for coping at this time. That, and other information will be available on the Cambridge Chamber of Commerce Facebook page. Realistically, people are feeling a little overwhelmed with

Cambridge Chamber of Commerce CEO Kelly Bouzaid

information right now, but it will be updated throughout.”

Anyone wanting to contact the Chamber can ring Kelly on 0274 725 703, or email her at ceo@cambridgechamber. co.nz.

A trying dairy season has a silver lining

By Jeremy Smith

A trying dairy season has a silver lining.

That’s the word from Roto-o-Rangi dairy farmer Kevin Monks after 48mm of rain was recorded on his property on Sunday and Monday.

Kevin and his wife Gillian farm on a 300-hectare block – with 850 cows and additional young stock – that has been in the family for 55 years.

He conceded the current season had been “difficult and challenging”, but said he was focussing on the positives.

“The most important message I have is get around positive people and listen to them, look after your neighbours,” he said.

One positive, he said, was that Fonterra’s projected payout was “holding steady” at around $7.35 per kilogram of milk solids.

One of Kevin’s on-farm challenges related to the

varied nature of his land – some of it is very flat, other parts of it are rolling hill country.

“We have in fact gone dry earlier than we did in 2008, but some other good news is that on the flat areas we are in fact still green from the last rainfall we had and it is holding moisture really well.

“But on the hill blocks it is extremely dry.”

On farm, they’re still milking – once a day - a move they first made in early January, but Kevin said he was unsure if they could continue milking up to the point when they normally dry off in early May. “We just don’t know yet,” he said, adding that they have been buying in a lot of feed.

Kevin said he was confident that in trying times on a number of fronts, the agricultural industry would “help get us through” and continue to provide the produce that was required to supply both New Zealand’s needs and export requirements. Kevin Monks on his Roto-o-Rangi dairy farm

Water restrictions ease Drought conditions remain in Waipā – but recent rain has made a difference.

The Waipā District Council has announced the water alert level for Te Awamutu, Pirongia, Ōhaupō and rural surrounds has been reduced to two - allowing outdoor watering for the first time in nearly six weeks.

The alert level means households there can use sprinklers and irrigation systems on alternative days only, between 6am to 8am and 6pm to 8pm.

Properties with even numbers can use sprinklers on even dates - such as March 28 - whereas odd numbered properties can use sprinklers on oddnumbered dates such as March 27.

Handheld hosing can be done anytime.

Cambridge and Kihikihi had been on alert level one, where sprinklers may be used from 6-8am and 6-8pm and handhoses used at any time, but that restriction has now been lifted.

Waipa District Council’s water services manager Martin Mould said the drop for Te Awamutu, Pirongia and Ōhaupō was made possible thanks to the recent weather changes and the community reducing their water use when it was really required.

“That drop in demand has allowed our dams and reservoirs to recover to where we are able to lift the full outdoor ban.

“We’re now able to supply water to the reservoirs and keep them replenished while allowing our treatment plants to take short breaks rather than running at maximum capacity.”

“Waikato is still in drought conditions so we do encourage people to continue to remember that water is a precious resource and keep using those smart water tips to keep water use down where possible.”

Martin said.

“Sprinklers can use on average 1,000 litres of water an hour so be cautious with use.”

“We would like to thank each and every member of our community for their outstanding efforts during this drought, through turning off a tap or reporting a water waster. It has not gone unnoticed.

“I’d also like to thank the water services team at Waipā for the long hours they’ve endured during this time to help manage water flows.”

Let Tiles Make Your Statement

57 Alpha St Cambridge cambridgetiles@xtra.co.nz

By Jeremy Smith

One of his favourite tricks might put him in a spin, but Cambridge’s Luke Runciman is approaching his goals in wakeboarding – and now the wider world of water sports - with an entirely grounded approach.

The 11-year-old Cambridge Middle School student recently won the junior boy’s category of the North Island Wakeboarding Championships – adding the accolade to a long list of other successes in the sport.

And last weekend – at the Waikato Regional Water Ski Championships where he competed in ski jumping for the first time, he won the overall event.

Triumphing in water sports runs in the family.

Competing at the same event, his brother Joel, 13, won the trick skiing, while his nine-year-old brother Josh won both his trick and slalom skiing event.

Luke’s dad Neil - a former national champion water skier – says Luke’s latest foray into ski jumping might be making his mum “just a wee bit nervous”.

“Doing tricks,” Luke said when asked about his favourite part of the sport.

“I think my favourite is one called a back-roll somersault.”

On the wakeboarding front, Luke is coached by Anthony East, while Duncan Hancock takes the helm to train Luke when he’s slalom skiing.

The East family and Nick Beale own a wakeboarding boat which they use to help Luke train behind.

The Runciman family live near Lake Karapiro – the ultimate playground for how they like to have fun.

“It’s an amazing place to live – everyone involved in the sport would want to live here,” Neil said.

The family are members of both Piarere and Karapiro water ski clubs and try to hit the water about two to three times a week.

Off the water too, the trampoline provides the best place to perfect and fine tune tricks Luke has in his repertoire.

“It’s probably the most realistic place to train off the water,” Luke said.

Grey power steps up

By Viv Posselt

With face-to-face meetings canned for the time being, Cambridge Grey Power president Val Massey is busy trying to find other ways to stay in touch with the

Cambridge Grey Power president Val Massey has been offered a helping hand by Waipa District Councillor Philip Coles.

association’s 385 members.

Many are not computer or social mediafriendly, which means she is having to find other ways to communicate and ascertain their needs during this difficult period.

“I have contacted all our members, those on internet via email and others by phone. I spent all day on Monday calling our members who are living outside a retirement village,” she said. “I really want to ascertain if they need help and tell them how important it is that they follow government advice. I also asked if they had family in town who could help. Many said they did have family support, and we are in the process of making plans to help those without family, particularly with things like shopping.”

Giving Val an unexpected helping hand is Waipa District Councillor and long-time Cambridge resident Philip Coles.

He contacted Val earlier this week to offer help from the perspective of a fellow resident and the next day collected a list from Val of members who would need assistance.

“With spare time on my hands due to the lockdown, we would love to be able to help the senior members of the Cambridge community, particularly those who don’t have family members or support living nearby to help them buy groceries or pick up medications at this difficult time,” he said.

Val said she and Philip are setting up a network to help with shopping and other tasks; they have passed on their phone numbers to members.

“Also, anyone who feels isolated is free to call me for a chat,” said Val. “If we can be of any use to locals, we are asking them to please not hesitate in contacting us,” said Philip.

Val’s contact number is 07-827 0273, and Philip’s is 021 432 767.

Scooter views

By Jeremy Smith

Lime e-scooters “might not be the right fit” for Cambridge.

That’s according to Cambridge Community Board chair Sue Milner, and it appears to be a sentiment echoed by residents spoken to by Cambridge News in Cambridge.

The News reported last month that Waipa District Council had been approached by Lime and the company was due to make a proposal to council for introducing the scooters in the district.

Lime’s New Zealand public affairs manager Lauren Mentjox said at the time the company had a vision for micro-mobility to be part of a transport “solution” for wider regions that include the neighbouring areas of urban centres.

Lime has now given presentations to the

community boards in both Cambridge and Te Awamutu.

Sarah Nicholl said she felt the scooters probably weren’t right for Cambridge.

“I have used them before, in Dunedin, and I understand they’re a lot of fun. But, in Cambridge our CBD probably isn’t big enough to warrant them.”

Bruce Morrison wasn’t in favour of the scooters coming to town.

“We say no scooters or skateboards on the footpaths, are we going to make an exception for Lime?

“I don’t think I like the speed they have the ability to travel at either.”

Dave Maugham said he didn’t see the long-term need for them.

“I would maybe use them once for a bit of fun but wouldn’t see the need to use them regularly.”

Kerryn Morrison said she would use the scooters if they were here.

Sue Milner

“Definitely, they’re a great way to get around, as long as people are sensible.”

Sue Milner said, in particular, Cambridge’s CBD probably wasn’t a good fit for e-scooters.

“It’s appropriate that Lime is searching for places outside the main centres to have its scooters and Cambridge and Waipā is a good place to look, but if we’re talking about use just in the CBD, then physically ours is probably too small,” she said.

Community house prepares

Cambridge Community House (CCH) has put strategies in place to ensure people are safe during the unprecedented COVID-19 shutdown.

CCH general manager Harriet Dixon said it would be particularly important for the organisation to remain operational for people requiring support.

“Alongside an increase in stress and anxiety affecting mental wellness, we are expecting an increase in family abuse and violence incidences, along with financial hardship too,” she said. “This will increase the need for our counselling, whanau support and financial mentoring services.

“We are taking it a day at a time and have implemented a no-walk-in policy as the Government announces its progression from level 3 to level 4. We will stay open for appointments, by phone and video calls.”

CCH will keep the community updated via Facebook. It can be contacted by phone on 07 827 5402, or email at office@ camcomhouse.org.nz

Lilly giveaway: an angel on her doorstep

of all the other villagers - as ‘an angel’.

The lilies had been quietly left on the doorsteps on Tuesday morning. “I am stunned, and deeply touched,” she said, insisting on remaining anonymous. “How on earth can we ever thank them?”

The ‘angel’ turned out to be a Lilies by Blewden community cherub, someone who had read on the Blewden Facebook page that the growers were giving away bunches of lilies in the leadup to this week’s COVID-19 lockdown.

Lilies by Blewden managing directors David and Anne Blewden confirmed the gifting of the lilies to the community by the Cambridge based company, which is on Pukerimu Lane.

They opened their site to the public and gave away an initial 2500 bunches, each one containing five lily stems.

Various ‘good Samaritans’ came on board with the idea and helped distribute the 12,500 stems.

The giveaway, which was intended to add a bit of colour and lightness into the community as it tries to get to grips with darker news, saw another 2500 bunches handed out over the course of several days.

Scouts launch rat attack

Cambridge Scouts teamed up with Predator Free Cambridge (PFC) to start predator control in their area around the Scout Hall and some of the neighbouring gully.

At the recent Scout Jamboree at Mystery Creek, one of the activities was to make wooden tunnel boxes to house a rat trap, so starting their own trapping programme seemed like a natural progression.

PFC Community Coordinator Karen Barlow gave a talk to the Scouts about the importance of trapping as a conservation tool to help protect native species. She was impressed with their knowledge about predators and their eagerness to get involved.

That night each Scout made their own wooden tunnel boxes to house a rat trap supplied by PFC. They measured, cut, assembled and individually identified their own boxes. It was quite the production line and well organised by Scout Leaders.

Luke Storie watches James Amos nail his trap together.

Due to the large number of tunnel boxes made, surplus traps will be taken home by some of the Scouts for use in their own backyard.

The hope is that PFC will provide support and assistance with data collection and scouts will use an app and follow GPS coordinates to locate their traps in the gully and record any catches.

“This is a great example of community collaboration, engaging youth and working toward the larger goal of Predator Free 2050,” Karen Barlow said.

For more information contact Karen karen@goeco.org.nz or 0272406879. You can also view the Predator Free Cambridge page on Facebook.

The latest Cambridge Tramping Club outing saw members on a trip which started in Te Mata near Raglan.

The group of 15 was guided by Raglan’s Trevor Vernon, who took them on a four-and-a-half hour walk across three farms.

The walk featured several interesting historical reminders – including a section of a stone wall that was part of a dairy factory built in 1899.

At the time, 16 suppliers produced 17 tons of butter a year from the factory.

Also on the property was an Anzac memorial pine.

After climbing the 756m Mt Karioi, which means ‘loiter or idle’, the 2.4-million-year-old extinct volcano gave group members a scenic outline of Raglan, Aotea and Kawhia Harbours.

From there, the group looped back along an airstrip and made its way home.

DOWN WITH KIDS

Another new normal…

In the time of coronavirus, it’s suddenly become all too easy to forget the one thing that we all thought would be unforgettable.

The front page of the New Zealand Herald on Sunday, March 15, the one-year anniversary of the Christchurch terror attacks, instead had Covid-19 as its biggest headline. Just a small strip at the bottom was reserved for the Christchurch coverage.

Well before Monday this week, when the nation started preparing for a lockdown, coronavirus was every second discussion at school. My friend counted 219 mentions one day last week.

Drama and PE teachers have wondered whether they’ll simply have to drop NCEA assessments now.

“You can’t teach group theatre online!”

But this column is not going to be about Covid-19 - I suspect enough column inches will be taken up by that in the next four weeks (or longer).

Students at my school, all those inevitable school shutdown half-jokes aside, did remember the Christchurch attacks.

And the attacks, a kind

of 9/11 for my generation, may have a big impact on the politics of Kiwi teens in the future.

“Political events experienced between the ages of 14 and 24 have roughly triple the [voting] impact of events experienced later in life”.

That’s a statistic by two political scientists, Andrew Gelman and Yair Ghitza, quoted in a Time magazine piece earlier this year. The piece investigated how the world would change when Millennials, iGen and Gen Z hold the positions of political power, rather than just the climate change protest signs.

A paper by Trevor Thrall and Erik Goepner refers to this as a “‘critical period’ of young adulthood” in forming lasting generational opinions, on politics and more.

So where does this leave Kiwi students? For Millennials, this defining “political event” was September 9, 2001. “You’re a Millennial if you can remember 9/11”, an older cousin told me; it’s a telling way to measure one’s age.

This is where March 15 last year comes in: for my generation, ‘iGen’ or ‘Gen

by Matteo Di Maio

Z’, the deadly shooting of 51 people from two Christchurch mosques on an otherwise regular school Friday feels like a similarly age-defining moment.

If political events during that youthful “critical period” define voting patterns, then it’s likely the Christchurch massacre will taint right wing, antiimmigrant politics for a generation of future voters.

In the hours and days after the attack, people at my school and teens from around NZ shared a simple cartoon by artist Rubie Jones online: “this was your home and you should have been safe here”. The Instagram page newzealand.co.nz, popular with Kiwi teens, wrote after the attacks: “Some of [us] began to say, ‘this isn’t New Zealand.’ The sad but true fact is that in some ways, it is.”

Meanwhile, across the ditch, far-right MP Fraser Anning blamed Muslim immigration for the violence. When a young Aussie teen later egged him, the teen was quickly cemented in the internet hall of fame back here. More seriously, he summed up young people’s feelings at the time: the racist attitudes

courted by a less and less mainstream right in recent years (think Charlottesville and Trump) led to things like the Christchurch massacre, and that wasn’t going to be tolerated.

If Gelman and Ghitza’s statistic on the impact of political events during teenagers’ younger years is to be believed, an event like Christchurch will leave many teens wary of far-right attitudes.

“We could’ve said: it’s a terrible event, … we’ll move on, but instead we’ve decided to keep this as something we’ll keep on remembering,” Cambridge High’s h ead boy told me on a remembrance day two weeks ago.

What’s more: I can’t help feeling that the unanimously empathetic response to Christchurch among NZ’s young people says good things about our future leaders.

In the time of coronavirus, that’s one reassuring thing to know.

FRIDAY MARCH 27, 2020

Council backs river plan change A plan to improve water quality in the Waikato and Waipā rivers has reached a milestone, with Waikato Regional Council voting to notify a decisions version following hearings.

The recommendations of five independent commissioners on Healthy Rivers/Wai Ora: Proposed Waikato Regional Plan Change 1 were presented to councillors at a special meeting in Hamilton.

Commissioners heard more than 359 hours of evidence over 59 days last year. As well as reading more than 1100 submissions, they heard evidence from 360 different parties over the course of the hearings and had 199 expert appearances.

Waikato Regional Council chief executive Vaughan Payne said: “The hearings took longer than hoped, but it’s a complex plan change and the panel wanted to ensure legally robust policies and rules were being put in place which could be achievable for farmers, industry and the council to implement.

“It’s fair to say substantial changes have been made to objectives, policies and rules to take account of the submissions received,” Mr Payne said.

“We appreciate the genuine consideration the commissioners have given to the submissions and to help further deliver a locally-driven, fit for purpose policy

framework for the Waikato and Waipā rivers.

“Significantly, the panel’s decision offers some pragmatic initiatives to address issues the current government is struggling to address through its Essential Freshwater package. That includes issues like how best to use farm environment plans to support the necessary change and how to set bottom lines for nitrogen and phosphorus to improve ecosystem health.

“There’s still an 80-year horizon for water quality improvement. While it might not be quick enough for some, it recognises the complexity of the issues being addressed and that change takes time,” Mr Payne said.

Waikato Regional Council chair Russ Rimmington applauded the robust process followed by the independent commissioners, saying “their skill has brought a document that I think will be the Bible for years to come”.

“Right from the beginning the council has wanted a community-driven plan change that gives effect to the Vision and Strategy for the Waikato River. Council’s decision today is a vote of confidence in locally-driven driven planning, as opposed to waiting for solutions to come out of Wellington.

“It means our farmers in the Waikato and Waipā river catchments are ahead of much of New Zealand to make changes which will ultimately deliver improved water quality,”

Cr Rimmington said.

Ahead of the vote some councillors noted that the recommendations were a better outcome for many farmers, but there were issues which would likely be resolved through Environment Court appeals.

Concern was also raised around the timing of notification in light of farmers experiencing the impacts of drought, as well as the wider impacts of COVID-19 on their businesses.

A motion was put to delay a decision for six months until the impact of COVID-19 on the economy was understood and advice was received from the Government on its National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management. The motion was lost, 9 votes to 3, with councillor Kathy White abstaining.

Councillors then voted 11-1 in favour of notifying the decisions version of the plan.

Based on legal advice, councillors Pamela Storey and Fred Lichtwark withdrew from the vote because they had submitted on the plan change.

The decisions version of the plan change will be notified by early April. Submitters will have 30 working days in which to lodger appeals.

More information about the rules is available at waikatoregion.govt.nz/healthyrivers.

Hall of Fame place for ‘Podge’ 33 years on…

Mark Todd’s stead Charisma has been inducted into the Equestrian Sports New Zealand Hall of Fame.

At a function last week, his horse was honoured alongside the 1964 Tokyo Olympic jumping team comprising the late Bruce and Graeme Hansen, Charlie Matthews from Gisborne and Adrian White from Hawke’s Bay. The ceremony was held as part of the Land Rover Horse of the Year Show in Hawke’s Bay. Charisma and Cambridge’s Sir Mark won back-to-back individual gold medals at the Olympics in Los Angeles (1984) and Seoul (1988).

Charisma - or Podge as he was known thanks to a keen eye for food – didn’t start his eventing career until he was 10.

While it was eventing that led

him to the world stage, he also competed in B Grade level show jumping and Prix St George dressage.

Sir Mark said Podge was a brilliant cross-country horse.

“He was very bold, scopey, fast and nippy – all in all, the perfect combination.”

Despite his diminutive height of just 15.3hh (horse height) the horse was second at Badminton, won Luhmuhlen and twice claimed the British Open Championship as well as a second at Burghley.

He retired back to New Zealand at 16 and died in 2002 at Sir Mark’s Cambridge property.

On the night, Sir Mark was also honoured as part of the Team of the Year along with UK-based Olympic eventer Tim Price and Jonelle Price.

They were victors in the Nations’ Cup class at the Camphire International Horse Trials in Ireland in July.

There, it was ultimately Sir Mark’s last international eventing competition after he announcement his retirement.

The 1964 team sailed to Tokyo, with the horses stabled on deck beside a rather pungent pallet of garlic.

Bruce captained the team, which finished in 10th place.

When the team competed at the Wairoa Show on their return, the whole district was said to have turned out to watch them.

Graeme was the driver behind the team competition at the Horse of the Year Show, with the Saba Sam Shield up for grabs.

Amateur driver Kevin Hall’s win last week at Cambridge Raceway ended a drought.

When Hall reined home J Bee to win the Black Dog Furniture Mobile Pace (2200m) it was his first win in 33 years.

“I drove my first winner when I was a junior driver. It was at Rotorua where we used to have a New Year’s Eve day meeting on the grass, I remember it well,” he said.

Hall had 12 previous starts as an amateur and last week’s success was for good friend and trainer David Butcher, who he helps out in the mornings.

“I just started a new job with New Zealand Grazing Company and I help David out most

FRIDAY MARCH 27, 2020

Medical centre changes As in the rest of the country, medical centres in Waipā will operate differently for the next four weeks. Here is what to expect: Consultations GPs will perform “virtual” consultations only, meaning by phone or video. Patients can only come into a practice by invitation following a phone consultation.

Only urgent nurse appointments will be available. Childhood and flu immunisations are a priority area and will continue.

Carparks will become a new waiting area. When the doctor or nurse is ready to see you for examination/treatment they will call you and ask you to come in.

Flu shots are now available and

prioritised for over 65s, so ring and make an appointment as soon as you can.

Covid-19 symptoms If you think you have symptoms of Covid-19 please call Healthline, 0800 358 5453. Our nearest community testing centre is at Claudelands Event Centre, open from 8am to 8pm. It is accepting

both drive-throughs and walk-ins.

Please use the Gate 3 entrance off Brooklyn Rd. Please use this centre if you think you have symptoms of Covid-19 rather than going to your usual GP. Repeat prescriptions These can be ordered through your GP’s nurse answer phone

or via Manage My Health. When requesting a repeat, state the pharmacy you would like your prescription to be sent to. You do not need to come into the medical centre to collect this.

Laboratory /Radiology forms These will also be faxed directly to the providers and should be for urgent needs only.

Sydney off the agenda for Trelawney Sydney was set to be a major focus point in the coming months for Trelawney Stud’s Brent and Cherry Taylor, however, their attention has swiftly changed with measures implemented as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Cambridge couple had yearlings set to fly over to go through the sales ring in Sydney, while exciting filly Two Illicit was earmarked for Group One assignments during Sydney’s autumn carnival.

While disappointed Two Illicit will no longer get her chance to be tested in Sydney, Brent Taylor said combating Covid-19 needs to be everyone’s number one priority.

“It’s a real shame,” he said.

“Three-year-old fillies don’t get a lot of opportunities for Group One racing.

“She certainly showed with her runner-up effort in the New Zealand Derby (Gr.1, 2400m) that she is up to that class. It would have been nice to have given her that opportunity in Sydney to benchmark where she is at, but unfortunately that opportunity has been taken away from us.

“We have about 10 racehorses coming back in the next few days.

We are in the same boat as everyone else and it is a disappointment for trainers, owners, clubs, and everybody.

“But it is a fact of life and the health of our community is far more important.”

Taylor was also philosophical about the

prospect of retaining a number of yearlings set to go through the sales ring in Sydney, however, he said there remain alternative avenues they may explore.

“It is a tragedy for those that had prepared a number of yearlings for the Easter Sale, but at this stage it doesn’t look like it is going to happen at all for the Kiwis.

“We had prepared for this eventuation by doing some video footage,” he said. “There is still a chance that the sale may go ahead in some form online. The landscape is changing daily, but we are prepared for that if it does occur.

“If that does not eventuate, they will head to the breakers in due course and prepare for the ready to run sale in November.”

Taylor is heeding the Government’s advice and will be implementing a lockdown at Trelawney for the foreseeable future, with only essential staff remaining on-farm to care for their horses.

“We will be closing the front gate and self-isolating at the farm,” Taylor said.

“Those who don’t need to be on-farm to work will be working from home.

“It is about protecting ourselves, our staff, and the community. We will be following the instructions of the Government and doing our part to stop the spread of this disease.”

While there is no good time for a pandemic to hit, Taylor said the timing could have been a lot worse and Trelawney would do its part

Faith, Ella, Cherry and Brent Taylor of Trelawney Stud where they like to be – at the races. For now, though, the focus is on stopping Covid-19 winning.

to comply with Government enforced regulations.

“We are probably a bit fortunate that it hasn’t occurred in the foaling and breeding season, at this stage.

“Farming will still have to continue, be that milking cows or dry stock farming.

“We will be trying to conduct business as usual on the farm within the confines of the regulations.” – NZ Racing Desk

BUILDING IN THE 21ST CENTURY THE COST OF BUILDING A NEW HOME

New Zealand measure specifically excludes land. This ignores both the cost of the dirt in the first place and the expense of getting it ready before construction can begin. Flat land, of course, is much more sought after than a sloping section, which has to be cut, filled and retained, and is therefore more costly to develop.

The cost of building a house varies depending on the type of home you're wanting and in what location. Compared to the national average, Auckland is the most expensive, while costs in the West Coast tend to be the most favourable.

The Building Guide NZ recommends you find out the rough average square metre costs of building from your local builder, architect or quantity surveyor. This will help you keep your project plans at a realistic level.

As a very rough starting point, $1500sqm is very cheap and $2-2500sqm is more usual. However, if you're aiming for custom-design bespoke, then expect anything upwards from $3000sqm. When obtaining a square metre rate, ensure you know what is included in it. Earthworks, driveway, drainage, wastewater treatment, foundations and other site works may involve extra costs as may the design, costing, consenting or engineering work.

Check the specifications of fixture and fittings, and features such as decks.

If you want to cut costs by doing some work yourself, bear in mind that, by law, some work must be done by a qualified tradesperson.

Moreover, the value of the building lodged in the building consent is only part of the actual cost of building a house. A

If you're subdividing land into unit title or freehold sections, administration costs are involved. These include survey costs, legal fees and resource consents.

Local councils may look to recover some of the cost incurred in providing the new/upgraded infrastructure required by developments, such as water and stormwater upgrades, transport links, open space reserves and community facilities. Even a modest development can easily incur $60,000-plus in development contributions.

number of major factors are either underrepresented or not included at all. Check out what houses are selling for in the area you intend to build. If they are selling for under your estimated build cost, then you may have to reassess your spend, unless you plan to stay there for the long-term.

the value of working with experts cannot be underestimated.

Consult a quantity surveyor if you want a more accurate estimate of your project and help with strategies to stay within budget. Go through our budget worksheet to get a rough estimate of the likely total cost. If you're want to do the cost exercise yourself, there are tools online that can help. Given the cost of building, however,

The cost of design/architect fees, consent fees and any other required permits are generally not included in the building value noted on the consent. If not accounted for, these costs will impact on your budget.

COSTS TO CONSIDER

Land is in demand and prices continue to rise. The building value in the Statistics

All these activities can become a major part of your build cost. On top of this is the BRANZ levy. The contract value reported on the building consent incurs levy fees for both the Building Research Association of New Zealand (BRANZ), an independent and impartial building research, testing and consulting organisation, and the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE).

These can add another 3% to the cost of a house.

All properties are different, so make sure you are fully informed and know the true build cost before you embark on your project. Even with due diligence, the cost may work out 10% more than what you budget for.

BUILDING STANDARDS AND BUILDING CODE LBPs are building practitioners who have been assessed as competent to carry out building work essential to the structure or weather-tightness. Licensing promotes, recognises and supports professional skills and behaviour in the building industry. The LBP scheme was launched in November 2007 following an amendment to the Building Act 2004.

Its purpose is to encourage competent building practitioners to build homes right the first time. The scheme also gives consumers the necessary information to make informed decisions about the competence of building practitioners they may engage.

Holding a licence allows building practitioners to carry out or supervise Restricted Building Work (RBW), which includes important and critical residential building work, including design work. It is an offence for an unlicensed builder to carry out RBW and can incur a fine of

up to $20,000.

Licensing is important as it shows a client that their building practitioner meets a minimum standard of competency. LBPs are listed on the Public Register.

Even if it doesn’t require a building consent, all building work in New Zealand must comply with the Building Code. The code is a means of ensuring buildings are safe, healthy and durable.

Plans and specifications are assessed by building consent authorities (BCAs), usually the council, to ensure the proposed building work will comply with the Building Code. When the BCA is satisfied, it will issue a building consent for the work to proceed. If the work is built to the consented plans and receives a code compliance certificate, it confirms the requirements of the Building Code have been met.
