Trying a little kindness

By Steph Bell-Jenkins

Three years ago Cambridge woman Rebecca Broadbent launched an initiative designed make a positive difference in the Waipā community at grassroots level.

“There were some awful things being reported in the media at the time – including two serious child neglect cases – and I started thinking about what I could do to help,” the mother of three said.

“I felt if I could do something to show my boys how we should be treating people, maybe one day they would stand up and do what is right and be part of the solution, not the problem.”

So, in 2017, she created Act of Kindness (AOK), a free service designed to connect Waipā people with family-friendly volunteer work.

Now she is celebrating a major milestone for her awardwinning

organisation, which has just achieved registered charity status.

“It feels amazing because it’s been a long process,” Broadbent said. “It will make us eligible for extra government support, open up new funding avenues and give a bit more structure and bones to the organisation, which will help our growth and development over the coming years.”

The organisation has also taken another significant step forward recently with its expansion into Auckland.

The move

happened after discussions with Broadbent’s friend Sarah Spence, who was “100 per cent sold” on the Act of Kindness concept and wanted to start something similar in her home city.

“We had an established brand and a model she was passionate about, and we agreed it would be amazing to expand AOK,” Broadbent said.

About 40 families from all over Auckland had already signed up and there had been “lots of wonderful support and heaps of people wanting to get involved”.

Act of Kindness’s past projects have included regular rest home visits, environmental restoration work and the distribution of care packages to people in need.

With physical distancing regulations hampering much of

this work at present, AOK has developed “kindness starter packs” to allow families to continue reaching out to others during Covid-19.

“The whole idea of it is that we start intentional conversations at home about kindness – what is it? Why do we need to be kind? What does it look like, feel like and sound like? And those intentional conversations provide a place for young people and their families to learn about how we can be kinder, and it equips our children with another set of tools they can use to be a better person and also make a difference in our community,” Broadbent said.

The packs can be ordered free through the organisation’s website, www.actofkindness. co.nz.

A support group which discusses life inside a controversial South Island religious community will stage an information night in Waipā next week.

The Gloriavale Leavers’ Support Trust is holding an “Unmasking Gloriavale” event in Cambridge on September 24 at 7pm at the Raleigh St Christian Church.

The entry fee - $15 – goes towards helping families who leave Gloriavale resettle.

Trust Manager Liz Gregory said the events provide a glimpse into life at Gloriavale, and what it’s like to leave and resettle in the outside world.

“The crowd are often quite shocked by what seems to be usual life in Gloriavale,” said Gregory.

She said people had been leaving Gloriavale at an escalating rate, and the evening provided an opportunity to “come along and find out what is fact, and what is fiction”.

Gloriavale was founded by Australian-born Neville Cooper – who now goes by the name Hopeful Christian - in 1969 , and moved to farmland in Haupiri, 65km east of Greymouth in the 1980s.

It has been the subject of ongoing allegations of physical and sexual abuse, forced marriage, forced separation of families and a controlling environment.

The evening will feature a panel of former members, including a Waikato farmer, and it discuss how the Gloriavale Leavers’ Support Trust assists those leaving to resettle.

The panellists will deal with issues such as their childhood, marriages, separation of families, control, health and abuse allegations.

Ex-member and Trustee James Harrison said feedback from the events showed people had no idea that a place like this could exist in New Zealand.

“These events are important to raise awareness in the public of the issues that are involved at Gloriavale and give people a better understanding.”

For more information on booking seats at the event go to www.info@gloriavaleleavers.org.nz/events.

The Give It Back Trust was created to do exactly that

“give it back”.

Rob, Lee, Tania, Jono & David are passionate about Cambridge and appreciate that what makes our community great is the level of community participation.

To encourage involvement in our community the Give It Back Charitable Trust was formed to recognise our unsung heroes and volunteers and provide financial support to our Cambridge community to ensure we continue to have a caring and vibrant Cambridge.

So nominate an unsung hero or Cambridge group to say thank you and give back.

Tena Koutou Katoa This week is Maori Language Week.

While I have a little knowledge of Te Reo and did Kapa Haka way back in my primary years, this and other cultures are something about which I would like to increase my learning. I thought this week then was also a good time to talk about inclusiveness within our community in general - inclusiveness regardless of age, race, disability, gender or sexual orientation.

They say that you can never truly appreciate someone else’s perspective until you’ve spent a day in their shoes. Jenni Dacomb, NSG coordinator, recently highlighted to me the difficulties faced by those in wheelchairs in complying with Level 2 regulations when out and about. Often business QR codes are positioned too high for them to access as well as hand sanitiser in some cases. I had not considered this before.

NSG have developed a poster around this topic, so contact info@safercambridge. co.nz if you’d like one to display in your business.

Still on this topic, sometimes misunderstandings within neighbourhoods develop as a result of differences in culture and associated expectations. Some of our community still feel hesitant to reach out to others whose accents and traditions may be different. I would encourage you to embrace any opportunity to engage with and learn about different cultural groups in our community and for us all to work together to reduce the risk of isolation for their members. As with most things, a friendly gesture can make a big difference and help break down barriers

which otherwise lead to divisiveness.

It is important parents also cultivate acceptance among our tamariki and a respect for those who are different from ourselves.

Something I do not want us to accept however, is disorderly behaviour in our public spaces.

Last week a colleague and I met with a representative of the council regarding concerns the community hold around disorderly behaviour at the Skate Park on Dominion Avenue. Part of the plan we are already putting in place will see increased Police engagement in this area, through mobile and foot patrols. The skate park is a community asset and we want it to be as safe and family friendly as possible. I would encourage adults to frequent the park with your children whenever you can – from what I am told, part of the problem currently is the lack of responsible adult supervision around.

There are a few ideas to change that being looked at going forward, but as a community we can also take ownership.

That said, I will never encourage anyone to step into a situation that puts themselves or their families at risk. If you see a fight developing or destruction to property happening for example, call 111. With daylight savings approaching, let’s work together now to remove any impression that such behaviour will be tolerated in our community.

Briefs…

Booked back in Te Awamutu Rotary’s Book Fair is back on. After a couple of Covid-19 related delays, organisers have decided the book fair will go ahead from 10am-4pm next Wednesday through to Sunday at 363 Alexandra St in Te Awamutu.

Books will sell at $3 a book, or $10 for four, and the last day of the fair will see banana boxes of books going for $10 a box.

Road closure The one-lane Mokau Bridge on SH30 13km from Te Kuiti will be closed from September 28 to October 9 while the deck is replaced. While the bridge is closed, the detour for traffic will be via Kopaki Road, SH3 and SH4 and will add about 10 minutes to a journey from Benneydale to Te Kuiti.

Drug sale limit Countdown stores are limiting the sale of paracetamol and items containing paracetamol to one pack per customer.

The decision follows a report by coroner David Robinson which recommended a limit to reduce the risk of overdose. Countdown’s head pharmacist, Jeremy Armes, said where a customer wished to buy larger quantities of paracetamol or items containing paracetamol, “we think this is best sold in a pharmacy environment where a pharmacist can talk through the proper use of paracetamol and risks oneon-one”.

Blind appeal Blind Low Vision NZ, formerly Blind Foundation, wants volunteers to support this year’s Blind Week street collection on October 16 and 17. “Last year’s street collectors raised over $220,000 to empower Kiwis living with vision loss to live the life they choose. We’re hoping to go even further this year, but we need your help,” John Mulka, Blind Low Vision NZ Chief Executive said. For more information go to blindweek. org.nz or call 0800 787 743.

Mayors back metro plan District mayors are welcoming the formal creation of a coordinated Waikato metro area to enable joint planning over the next three decades.

A transformational plan considers the future of the Hamilton-Waikato metro area without the limitations of existing territorial boundaries created in 1989.

Iwi, local government and central government last week approved the joint approach. The HamiltonWaikato Metropolitan Spatial Plan is based on a scenario of 500,000 people living in a metro area extending from Te Awamutu and Cambridge to Taupiri.

It dovetails with an urban growth partnership which will see coordinated development between Auckland and Hamilton.

The Future Proof partnership supports the wider Hamilton to Auckland Corridor Plan which will foster detailed discussions around water, transport and land use in the

metro area.

The Hamilton-Auckland Corridor will see the Waikato, Waipa, Matamata-Piako and Hamilton councils work with the Waikato Regional Council, Franklin and Auckland city councils.

Waipā Mayor Jim Mylchreest said unlocking development potential will create efficiencies and greater economic opportunities for Waipā and will allow cross-regional facilities, such as the Hamilton Airport, to flourish.

“The need to integrate services and plan properly goes beyond a single council’s boundary, and it has never been more important than right now as Waipā, Waikato and Hamilton face rapidly growing populations. This plan will help Waipā, and the wider metro area, to create champion communities that meet our subregion’s future needs in a sustainable and coordinated approach.” .

Waikato-Tainui Te Arataura Chairperson Rukumoana Schaafhausen said she was a strong supporter of the plan’s commitment to the wellbeing of our awa, environment, culture and people.

“We have more than 30 marae in the metro area. This plan supports our continued investment in the wellbeing of our marae and tribal members and builds on recently announced projects at Ruakura and Hopuhopu. This is an intergenerational approach to ensure shared prosperity for both our people and the region.”

Hamilton Mayor Paula Southgate said the plan set out a shared vision for the metro area by all partners for the first time.

“In that respect, it is transformational because we are not being artificially limited by what are essentially boundary lines on a map. Those lines are meaningless to most people who move seamlessly across boundaries

for work or play. It’s not unusual to live in Waipā, but work in Hamilton, for example, and we need to recognise and plan for that,” she said.

Waikato Regional Council Chair Russ Rimmington said the plan outlines a bold vision of “protecting what we value most and respecting natural constraints such as flood plains and elite soils”.

While a lot of capacity for future growth is expected to be serviced by Hamilton, Ngāruawāhia, Cambridge and Te Awamutu are also expected to benefit from significant growth.

Waikato Mayor Allan Sanson said there was a real opportunity to address growth and related infrastructure challenges in the area at scale in a sustainable way with sound environmental outcomes.

“I am particularly pleased with the recognition that the plan gives to the interconnected nature of communities within the Waikato and Waipā districts to Hamilton,” he said

Beautiful judges come to town

By Viv Posselt

The two judges set to determine whether Cambridge will hold onto its 2019 title of New Zealand’s ‘Most Beautiful Large Town’ were given a guided tour last week by Destination Cambridge CEO and chairman respectively, Miff Macdiarmid and Philip Coles.

The annual Beautiful Awards are run by the not-for-profit Keep New Zealand Beautiful organisation. Last year, Cambridge won the Most Beautiful Large Town title; it is up for the same award this year, with Hastings its competitor in that category. Cambridge’s Victoria St is also a finalist in the 2020 Best Street category.

The judges squired around on September 10 were Heather Saunderson, chief executive of Keep New Zealand Beautiful, and Rachel Grunwell, an author and wellness expert.

Numerous different elements are taken into account when judging the awards, including sustainability, environmental issues, waste minimisation, recycling, community beautification and sustainable tourism.

Miff said the judges spent about one and a half hours in town. They visited the Cambridge Community Garden and Payne Park, then an area behind Cambridge Resthaven where the Cambridge Tree Trust has been working. “Another group has been planting out the gully below that area, leading to the Te Awa Cycleway,” she said, “and the Tree Trust has given 800 trees to that group. We also saw the Menz Shed where they make rat traps for Predator Free Cambridge.”

The group also visited the Lions Shed to hear about their recycling and community fundraising efforts, talked to Rotary about their e-waste

initiatives in schools and small businesses, and visited Lake Te Koo Utu for a talk with PredatorFree Cambridge’s Peter Russell who demonstrated trap-setting and told them they had eliminated 152 rats in 45 traps set over the past two years.

Over the last year alone, Predator Free Cambridge has killed 79 possums and 55 rats around the lake, thereby making it a safer environment for local birdlife.

The judges also visited Fillgood, a wholefoods organic store that aims to reduce single-use plastic

packaging, and the consignment clothing and accessories store, Mint.

Miff’s comprehensive awards entry detailed Cambridge’s overall appeal, listed ongoing initiatives linked to litter prevention and waste minimisation and provided details on a raft of other eco-initiatives. It addressed community beautification, noting the 23 projects being run by the Cambridge Tree Trust, and spoke to recycling and sustainable tourism.

Results will be announced next month.

Business confidence measured

Business confidence in the Waikato remains lowest, by a considerable margin, in Waitomo as the tourism industry readjusts to life in a Covid environment.

The latest Waikato Region Business sentiment survey, carried out by Te Waka Regional Economic Development Agency suggest 70 percent of businesses in Waitomo are preparing for things to get worse.

Waikato, Hauraki and Thames Coromancel District all polled above 40 percent for businesses expecting worse to come in the latest survey. South Waikato and Taupo were the most optimistic.

In Waipā 38 percent of business were taking a negative look ahead, 23 per cent were positive.

Disrict mayor Jim Mylchreets said it was pleasing to see most Waipa businesses were

confident in their future outlook.

“On the flip side, three quarters of large businesses predict to have shortfalls in recruiting skilled labour, particularly prevalent in the construction sector. The survey also reported 75 percent of Waipā businesses accessing government assistance of some kind, so I’d also like to encourage them to meet with Te Waka’s Business Advisors to find out what support is available at a regional level,” he said.

The survey of 589 Waikato business owners and managers found that while overall economic sentiment was pessimistic, the region’s businesses are more optimistic about Waikato and sector performance than they are about the New Zealand economy as a whole.

This optimism is demonstrated by

“This annual funding will help provide for families who can’t do things like send their children on school trips or camps. It allows us to target students who need that support.”

Lions grants help schools

The Cambridge Lions Club has made the first presentation in a new series of grants to the Cambridge Principals’ Association (CPA).

The initial $6500 was presented last week to CPA chairman and St Peter’s Catholic School principal, Grant Stuart, by Cambridge Lions Club president Jan Howie. Jan said that with the continued support from the Cambridge community, the Club would make be able to make two payments of that amount annually, making $13,000 in total.

The grant is intended to go towards primary and middle schools in and around Cambridge. Grant Stuart said the CPA covers 10 primary and one middle school in the area.

He said various school requirements fell outside the remit of government funding, and this grant would help plug those gaps.

released preliminary September results.

“The survey does raise questions about Waikato businesses’ preparedness,” Bell said. “They need to start thinking ahead about future scenarios. It’s imperative they are ready to quickly respond to a rapidly changing environment and remain agile.

Skills shortages come through as a concern, with 54% of survey respondents believing there is a skills shortage.

Survey results show that over the next six months 28% of Waikato businesses expect to hire staff and 11% expect to decrease staff numbers.

The Waikato Business Sentiment Survey will be conducted regularly. Hamish Bell says the findings will give the Waikato a stronger voice when advocating to Government.

Carried out between August 3 and September 4, the Waikato Business Sentiment Survey is the first of its kind for the region. It was conducted by Te Waka in partnership with local authorities, chambers of commerce, regional tourism organisations, business associations and other economic development partners in the region.

Te Waka chair Hamish Bell says the survey showed Waikato’s net business confidence in the Waikato economy (-14%) was better than their overall confidence in the national economy (-31%).

Mental Health issues discussed

Cambridge Community House manager Harriet Dixon attended Cambridge High School’s (CHS) mental health awareness day ahead of the official observation week.

Mental Heather Awareness week starts on Monday and is an initiative run by the Mental Health Foundation. During the week it is expected that around 10,000 workplaces, communities, schools and families will turn their attention to the 2020 theme, ‘Reimagine Wellbeing Together – He Ōtorohanga Anamata’.

Mental Health Foundation chief executive Shaun Robinson says one in five New Zealanders experience a mental illness each year, and being able to access the correct support was important in enabling them to live well with mental illness.

While at Cambridge High School’s mental health day, Harriet Dixon talked to students about Cambridge

Community House and the support it provides for mental health through counselling and other services.

“I had a stand at the school. It was great to see such a positive response from students willing to talk about their mental health and wellbeing,” she said. “Each year we support over 800 people in Cambridge and the surrounding area with their mental wellbeing through counselling. It is so important to raise awareness for mental health, and to encourage everyone from a young age to talk about their mental health. There is no longer a stigma attached to talking about it, and it is important to seek support from family, friends and colleagues.”

Harriet said the awareness day had been held at CHS early in September as students dealt with the pressure of exams.

“It was so important for them to acknowledge it early in

Fifty celebrated – at last

By Viv Posselt

A 50th anniversary celebration for Friends of Resthaven (FOH) took place under strict Covid-19 protocols in Cambridge recently.

The celebration at Cambridge Resthaven’s Quiet Room had founding and current Friends members, a few village residents and staff making up the guest list.

FOH chairman Philip Coles said the occasion was a great success. “This was our second crack at hosting an anniversary celebration. We were going to hold it in April, but it was cancelled due to Covid-19.”

Guests were ushered into the Quiet Room from the street, and there was no interaction with residents within the bounds of the age care home itself.

Phillip gave a talk on the FOH history and officially presented a hoist which was installed at Resthaven in March.

Then Friends of Resthaven secretary Alison Hucke presented a slide show on the organisation’s history.

The $10,000 Cubro Hoist, or Ergolet Overhead Lifting System, was at the centre of FOH fundraising efforts for several years and will make it safer to move residents and reduce the risk of injury to carers.

Friends of Resthaven was founded initially to help raise money to build the complex. It went on to raise funds for ongoing ‘extras’ for residents, including greeting cards and craft room materials.

An anniversary cake was cut by Iris Thomas, one of the earliest FOH treasurers, and John Coles, Philip Coles’ father and a past Friends of Resthaven president.

Philip’s presentation of the Cubro Hoist was the second to Resthaven by a Coles Former Friends of Resthaven president and family member. When leading FOH treasurer respectively, John Coles and Iris decades ago, John Coles also presented Thomas, cut 50th anniversary cake. the complex with a new hoist.

THE AGE OF REASON

Speaking of elections…

By Peter Carr

What does one sandwich between last week (Euthanasia) and next week (Cannabis)?

As both are connected to the upcoming election I may as well stay on the theme.

Promises, promises. All of them easily broken at a later date or at best watered down. A weak tax format from Labour, so much infrastructure from National that the land will sink – and the Greens scrambling to either be loved by the Blue team or hopeful that the Red team will not have enough support to get across the line unaided. A vote for NZ First is clearly a lottery with its leader shying away from agreeing with anything that the current government (its partner) desires to undertake. Covid restrictions are being used as a political football and Labour pitched their tax take for the upcoming three years at a level so that MP’s did not get penalised. Shame on them.

Perhaps it is time – in fact well overdue – that we looked back to 1993 and ask ourselves if we are better governed by what we had before or is legislation sufficiently improved to permit us to enjoy a superior lifestyle? What is very apparent is that in New Zealand there are 120 well paid MP’s allegedly servicing five million people. About one to 42,000. Electoral seat sizes are gauged

upon the population of the South Island divided by 16 – equating to around 57,000 people per electorate seat. In the UK the figure is around 96,000.

Now ask yourself are we better off than the UK? All of their MP’s are elected and accountable in the hustings. Half of ours have no ‘seat’ responsibilities yet claim a high salary equal to that of a properly elected member. While I hate referenda, I really think we are well overdue to measure the fiasco that permits three parties to govern in an alliance when the party on the opposite benches polled more votes that the one the other two are currently propping up.

And take a look at the ludicrous USA system where the opposition (Democrats) polled 3 million votes more than those who currently rule (Republicans). And ponder if their electoral college system is sensible or practical.

Whichever way you vote – and please do – take a good hard look at not only what is offered but the depth of the people bearing gifts. Aeneid, 20 years prior to Christ’s birth, said something about Greeks in that vein.

Smart fellow!!

SPECIAL INTRODUCTORY OFFER

A book which reviews like in lockdown for New Zealanders with critical health issues was launched at Te Papa, Wellington, today.

MORTGAGE MATTERS

Free Up Your Cashflow

By Gavin Lynch – Yes Mortgages

Struggling with high interest rates on short term debts such as hire purchases, credit cards or personal loans??

THEN MAYBE YOU SHOULD CONSIDER DEBT CONSOLIDATION. What is debt consolidation?

It’s the combining of several short term debts incurring high interest rates into one loan at a lower rate of interest.

Who should consider debt consolidation?

If you own your own home you can consolidate your short term debts into one loan by taking out a new mortgage against your house which is sufficient to pay off all the smaller debts.

Remember - the cheapest money you can borrow is generally housing interest rates with your mortgage.

What are the benefits of debt consolidation?  You have only one repayment each month.  You have to meet the repayment criteria of only one lender - your bank.  Your overall interest rate will be lower - compare 4.25% on your mortgage with up to 22% on your credit card debt.  The length of your term can be structured to suit your needs.

Let me give you an example:A short term debt of $30,000 made up of two hire purchases, two credit cards and a personal loan may cost $1,200 per month in repayments.

Consolidate this debt into a home mortgage and the repayments will come down to approx $180 per month over a 30 year term. Pay $580 per month over a five year term and the repayments are reduced by more than half and the $30,000 debt can be paid off in full in five years!

If you would like to talk about consolidating debt, please call me at Yes Mortgages on 823 4531 or 021 783 266.

FAITH IN WAIPĀ

It pays to take a ‘second’ look…

By Murray Smith, Senior Leader, Bridges Church

Stories of people discovering valuable art pieces or treasures languishing in unpretentious places are often reported and leave many of us thinking, “I wish I’d spotted that!”

An under-rated item can sit waiting to be ‘discovered’ for years before some savvy eagle eye recognises its true identity and worth.

In the early 1950’s a couple in Northern Wales bought a little 10 inch high porcelain ‘vase’ for a pittance at a country house sale.

They took it home and rested a light bulb on it and topped it with a lampshade. Many years later it was sold to a purchaser who, suspecting it was a bit special, took it in 2016 to Christie’s Auction house. There it was confirmed to be a 200-year-old Chinese Qing Dynasty hat stand- probably made around 1820.

Experts said it could fetch $500,000 at auction. The bidding went crazy and rocketed to double the original estimate after a bidding war erupted in the London salerooms.

Phone bids added to the excitement before the hammer came down just over $1m to conclude a sale. Not bad for a quirky little item considered to be a ‘table lamp’ for all those years.

An Op Shop I visited this week offered an old discarded Bible free. It made me think of a young man who had a wealthy grandmother. He secretly held hopes of one day being left something in her will upon her death. When that time came to pass, the young man was informed of his grandmother’s intentions.

“To my grandson I leave my Bible and all the treasure it contains.”

Deeply disgruntled, the young man flung his unwanted Bible up onto a shelf belligerently declaring, “That old thing contains nothing of relevance to me…”

It sat ignored, gathering dust for years. Hard times fell upon this man and he sustained major losses and encountered significant personal difficulties.

At a particularly dark moment of despair seeking comfort and perspective, he reached up to the shelf for his grandmother’s Bible to see if it might offer hope in his predicament.

Opening it randomly he discovered that interleaved between every page was a $20 note…a lot of money in the day this occurred. Remember, there’s many pages in a Bible!

Stunned the man held the Bible and wept.

Not because of his unexpected windfall but because he felt remorse over years of callous disregard for his grandmother’s gesture. It dawned upon him what her clear intention had been.

Remembering her statement in the will, the man realised his grandmother’s twofold purpose…she had in mind the Bible’s inherent ‘treasure’ held infinitely more value than the money she had carefully placed between its pages- yet both had almost escaped him.

Tragically, for multitudes the Bible remains an ignored, undiscovered treasure store. This supernatural book’s pages contain God’s truth, guidance and wisdom for your life.

St Peters share title

NO PLANET B

It’s not our problem

By Peter Matthews

Broadly speaking, my brief is to write a weekly column, with the odd digression, on environmental issues. Some weeks I feel more optimistic than others. This is not one of those weeks. Sometimes a quick scan of the news brings one stumbling to the realisation that despite the efforts of many wonderful and tireless people there is really no hope for the planet. That is to say, there is no hope for the planet as we knew it.

The seas are rising; the ice caps are melting; human activity has wiped out 60% of wildlife since 1970; atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations continue to rise.

These trends are not about to change any time soon; it’s easy to see that by looking around. Modern consumer society takes all and gives nothing - and that’s because we the people want to have all the nice things.

Let’s face it - the average person in the street couldn’t care less if the Greater Spotted Womble Thrip becomes extinct. They would care if it meant they couldn’t have their new car in the right shade of currant but it doesn’t so they don’t. There are those who don’t even acknowledge that a problem exists: I, personally, cannot conceive of any way of looking at the wealth of scientific research on climate change which could lead to the

conclusion that there is nothing to worry about.

But then I didn’t think Trump was going to be elected either.

I happened to see an item on TV today in which apparently normal people were outraged by the fact that their washing machines were tangling their clothes.

If only they could be so outraged that the human race is wrecking the environment.

Then you walk down any main street in the country and you’ll see people buying things they don’t need, driving cars the size of tanks, throwing takeaway containers in the rubbish, drinking water from plastic bottles lest they dehydrate before they reach the next tap.

Why though? In the face of such overwhelming evidence to the contrary, why do we continue to behave as though there is no problem?

My opinion is that it is because it doesn’t affect us - yet. As I mentioned, the seas are rising - and pretty soon, but probably after most of us have escaped this mortal coil with our consciences intact, the water will be lapping at our feet. If not our feet, certainly our children’s, but we’ll be off the hook by then.

“We pride ourselves on making old age worth living”

St Peters was denied a whole share of the Central North Island Rugby title by a late try in Saturday’s final against St Pauls of Hamilton at Taupo’s Owen Delaney Park.

The Dawson Smith led side led late on but conceded a penalty and a very late try to share the spoils 36-all in a match which allowed for no extra time.

Earlier, Smith rallied the troops after his side trailed for much of the first half and turned 19-14 down.

They responded and drew level and after the side exchanged further tries it appeared St Peters had their noses in front at the right time as the 70th and final minute loomed.

St Paul, though, had the last say to draw level in a match played at great pace and in good spirit.

Another scalp for Covid

30WE YEARS OF YOUR TURNINGONLY LOCAL HOUSES INTO ARE LOCALLY HOMES TO BE PROUD OF. The season is over for Cambridge’s Reds after the cancellation of football’s Northern League.

Continuing restrictions on crowd sizes in Auckland has hindered the competition and administrators have called an early end, with the Reds having played only eight of their planned 16 matches.

That means Cambridge FC have only two teams left in action – their WaiBOP Championship men’s team and their women’s side.

In the WaiBOP Championship, Cambridge cruised to a 6-0 victory against Waikato Unicol last weekend to extend their unbeaten run to five.

After a scoreless first half, Cambridge hit their straps in the second spell finding the net through six different goalscorers.

The win increased Cambridge’s lead to seven points in the B section of the Championship.

In the Waikato Women’s second division, a penalty save by goalkeeper Aimee Feingberg-Danieli earned Cambridge a 1-1 draw at Te Awamutu and made sure the team finishes runners-up in this year’s

competition.

Cambridge took the lead after 16 minutes when captain Steph Upton found space and struck a sweet shot from 20 metres.

A minute before half-time, Te Awamutu equalised to send the teams into the break at 1-1.

The second half was evenly balanced but the home side appeared to have the advantage when awarded a penalty.

In the Waikato Men’s Division Two, thirdplaced Cambridge concluded their season with a chance to disrupt the perfect record of competition winners Hamilton Wanderers who had won all their competition games this year.

It was 2-2 at the break, but Wanders wrapped up the points in the second half.

In Waikato Division Five, Cambridge’s two teams in the competition drew 1-1 at John Kerkhof Park.

In the WaiBOP Federation Y-League, Cambridge U-14s lost 3-1 at Otumoetai.

Cambridge’s scorer was Noah Cody.

In the WaiBOP Federation J-League, Cambridge U-12s beat Blue Rovers (Tauranga) 6-1.

LIC says fresh is best A school-based Waipā farm says it is getting results from using liquid sexed semen.

Herd improvement and agri-tech cooperative LIC is the only provider of fresh liquid – as opposed to frozen - sexed semen to New Zealand dairy farmers and says uptake of the product is rising.

Owl Farm at St Peter’s School, Cambridge, and Lincoln University Dairy Farm (LUDF) are two farms using the service as part of their herd improvement strategies.

Both farms have achieved similar mating (conception and non-return) results with fresh sexed semen compared to conventional liquid semen from their 2019 mating programmes.

Owl Farm manager Tom Buckley says speed and ease are some of the benefits of using liquid sexed semen compared to frozen.

“We’ve been using LIC’s fresh sexed semen for a year to drive genetic gain within the herd with great results and we will continue to do so. We’ve also been able to put a greater percentage of our herd to beef,” he said.

“It’s been an opportunity to increase our tactical use of beef breeds to increase stock sales revenue and part of our efforts to reduce bobby calf numbers, which were halved this year.”

Consultant Jeremy Savage says fresh sexed semen is part of the main strategy behind LUDF’s breeding programme.

“With fresh sexed semen we are able to produce high genetic merit heifer replacements out of our best breeding cattle. In addition, it enables us to reduce bobby calf numbers and breed beef animals instead, which are more marketable,” he says.

“Using liquid or fresh sexed semen should increase your herd’s profitability over time. It speeds up the rate of genetic progress and should be considered a strategic investment to increase profitability in the long-term.”

Fresh sexed semen from LIC is helping dairy farmers accelerate genetic gain within their herds by enabling them to get more replacement heifer (female) calves from their top performing cows. The company says it delivers a 90 per cent chance of producing a

From there, LIC’s artificial breeding technician team inseminate cows across the country. Last year they inseminated over four million cows for dairy farmers resulting in around $300 million in genetic gain.

Fresh is best when it comes to sexed semen as it gives farmers a better chance of getting cows in calf compared with frozen sexed semen Ellis said.

“Our fresh liquid sexed semen is unique to LIC and delivers conception rates similar to normal semen - only a three-to-five per cent lower conception rate, which makes it commercially viable. This is particularly important in New Zealand’s pasture-based seasonal farming environment where days in milk are highly valued.

The number of rooks in the Waikato Regional Council area is estimated at about 50 as the council launches its annual appear for sightings.

Biosecurity office Andrew McConnell says the council is confident it is reducing the numbers of the pest birds, bit it is important to keep the pressure on.

Rooks were introduced as a form of pest control more than 150 years ago and the council has been targeting them for the past 18 years.

The largest colony found in New Zealand was nearly 1000 nests but, as a consequence of control, such groupings are a thing of the past.

“They feed on newly sown crops and destroy paddocks by tearing them up in search for grubs. A large rook population can completely destroy entire paddocks.

It’s definitely not something we want to be seeing here in our region,” Andrew McConnell said.

Pest control involves finding and monitoring rookeries during early spring, and carrying out more invasive control later in the season.

McConnell said it was prudent to wait until the birds have laid eggs – “if we move too early, they will move to another site – they

This is the time of year when rook are most likely to be seen because they are breeding and congregating.

In the Waikato, known populations exist in Te Poi-Matamata, CambridgeHamilton and Mangakino to Taupō. Rooks look for pine or eucalyptus trees to build nests.

“It’s a bit like looking for a needle in a haystack for them, which is why we need landowners to give us a call when they see rooks” says Mr McConnell.

“They’re also very wary so it’s important that landowners contact us if they see them

rather than try get rid of them themselves.

We don’t want to scare them; it becomes tricky locating rooks once they have been spooked.”

Last year, five rookeries were found and controlled - three around Mangakino and two in the Matamata area. A rookery in Hamilton was destroyed by a storm and abandoned.

Rooks are related to magpies but are much larger. Seen overhead they fly with a slower wing flap than their cousins and have a very distinctive ‘kaah kaah’ call.

Confidence: going, going…

“Gone by lunch time!”

That’s a headline grabbing comment we have all heard from politicians from all sides of the political spectrum, most recently Judith Collins and David Bennett regarding the new water reform regulations.

But it got me thinking. What should be gone? What might have gone already?

And what might be gone if we get this wrong?

Unfortunately, it appears to me that one thing that has gone during the last couple of weeks, is a focus on improving waterways.

We should all be using our collective willingness, knowledge, and influence to find solutions and work out ways of applying them to best achieve improved water quality. Instead we find ourselves investigating the unintended consequences of a shoddy piece of legislation that is short on clarity, contains clear inaccuracies and in parts is simply unworkable.

Those responsible are

Gone also, I believe, is much respect between two groups of people who

This is a complex issue with many significant long-term implications for all New Zealanders. We cannot afford to try and reduce this issue to a single focus like

ultimately are key to finding and applying solutions farmer and government.

For the pastoral sector to be excluded from genuine input earlier, and the socalled consultation being conducted in a less then genuine way, was always going to be problematic.

We are now seeing the result of those poor decisions.

What could be gone if we get this wrong? Well, New Zealand’s clean and green image, a reliable supply of drinkable water, recreational use of many waterways, aquatic life as we know it today, pastoral farming in

swimmable waterways nor can we afford to allow the discussion to be dominated by emotion. It is simply too important for New Zealand. We do need to make progress on finding solutions, yet we need to ensure sufficient time to not only get the solutions right, but to have strong consensus on the solutions.

What I hope is not gone by lunchtime, is the option of having effective legislation as part of the solution.

We do need to change, do things differently from the past and it is a fact that change will be resisted. Setting minimum

standards in legislation will probably be required, but the legislation must meet principles to be effective.

We need to be sure that the regulation will achieve the intention.

They need to be clear, measurable, and understandable. Can they be enforced effectively, and do we fully understand the consequences, both good and bad, on economic and social outcomes?

On a number of counts the recent water regulations do not pass many of these tests.

What I fear is quickly going, is the goodwill of farmers and the rural community to work with national and regional authorities to find real lasting solutions. If that is to be fully restored, the farming sector will need to be included and involved in discussions, and the significant progress already achieved needs to get genuine recognition.

What I hope is gone by lunchtime, is the approach that forced regulation is the only way to get the results we all want.

Empowering children with fun learning We believe children learn through play and this learning is enhanced by making it a fun experience for children where they thrive in a stimulating, challenging yet safe and happy environment. We believe that the environment is the third teacher that invites curiosity, discovery, investigation and fosters learning experiences in a spontaneous manner. We believe that each child is unique with their own strengths and abilities. We also believe that parents are the primary educators of children and quality education is achieved through working in partnership between parents and teachers.

and follow Maori Tikanga and use of te reo Maori in our practice.

We welcome the contribution of parents towards their child’s learning. We recognise the diversity of our community and value the cultural backgrounds of all children and their families. We uphold the treaty of Waitangi and believe in bicultural practice and acknowledge Maori as the Tangata Whenua of Aotearoa

We foster children’s learning by offering a curriculum that empowers children to build their knowledge, skills and attitudes to become responsible citizens of the future. We are committed to providing a fun filled quality education for children by knowledgeable and experienced teachers who engage in reflective practice.

Based on ‘Te Whaariki’, we aspire for children to grow up as competent and confident learners and communicators, healthy in mind, body and spirit, secure in their sense of belonging and in the knowledge that they make a valued contribution to society. We are inspired by Reggio Emilia philosophy. We recognise the importance of responsive and reciprocal relationship between teachers and children for them to grow as confident and competent learners.

Tree Town Early Childhood Centre & Preschool Parent Reviews 2020: “Treetown has been part of our family for thirteen years. We have been lucky to work with many of the same primary caregivers and support staff throughout this �me and we have appreciated this stability. The staff are knowledgeable, friendly and caring. They know our children and they know us! The teachers are at the heart of TreeTown - the love they give our children is clearly evident and creates a sense of whanau in the community. All of our children have been very happy at TreeTown, making it easy to leave them there every day. “

Sara & Dan Loughnane

“We are absolutely ecsta�c with Tree Town.

Our daughter loves coming every day and is developing meaningful rela�onships with her peers and teachers. We appreciate the �me and effort that goes into the planning for her experiences at Tree Town that allow her to feel comfortable in her environment. Having a special person for her is a real benefit and it means a lot to us and helps support her during transi�ons. It also means as a parent I know who I can talk to.”

We could not be happier with his development and the care that he receives, and it is lovely to be able to see what he gets up to everyday through the StoryPark app! It is lovely to walk in the centre and be greeted with big smiles from the team and feel so welcomed in the loving family atmosphere that Sally has created.”

Waipā finals in Lacrosse

Cambridge High and Te Awamutu College will contest the finals of the Waikato secondary boys and girls competitions this weekend.

And it’s on the back of defeats for both Cambridge teams.

Cambridge High School Premier Girl’s winning streak came to an end on Saturday when they were beaten by 14-8 Te Awamutu in the final round-robin match of the Waikato Lacrosse High School League at Tamahere Park.

Cambridge’s previous wins guaranteed them a place in the league finals but Te Awamutu needed a win to reach the first and second play-off after a loss earlier in the competition to Hamilton Girls High School.

The drive and hustle from Te Awamutu was evident from the first whistle and the College team led by four at half time after conceding first.

Cambridge found some form and rhythm after half-time, but it was never enough to overtake Te Awamutu.

Cambridge High School Premier Boy’s also posted an unexpected loss against Hamilton Boys High School, beaten 10-6 at the Hamilton Inline Hockey Rink.

Cambridge had beaten their city rivals twice
