Waikato super council? No way Waipā mayor Jim Mylchreest says it’s common sense that councils around a major urban centre plan collectively – but they don’t need a super council like Auckland to do it. The mayor has responded to concerns that efforts to jointly plan for major infrastructure alongside Hamilton City, Waikato District and Auckland Council could lead to a mega organisation. He has rejected that, noting towns like Cambridge and Te Awamutu, plus smaller
centres like Pirongia, are “proud of and want to maintain their autonomy”. He says one of Waipā’s strengths is the nature of its unique communities. “Our Council is fully committed to maintaining the identity of our towns and the character of our district. But that doesn’t mean neighbouring councils can’t and shouldn’t be working together, across boundaries, to get the best outcome for their ratepayers,” he said. “A good example is that here in the

Waikato, we’re already working together to investigate possible options for wastewater treatment. We have an obligation to do that because good planning will always save money and will ensure future growth needs are taken into account.” Mylchreest said recent moves to look at the way drinking water, stormwater and wastewater is managed had created discussion nationally around better water management. Waipā District Council, like most councils

nationwide, has signed up to be involved in a national review. In doing so, Waipā secured $6.4 million to invest in local water infrastructure. “The money was a way of getting councils across the line to be part of a wider review. But the process going forward is not clear yet so that’s something to watch,” Mylchreest said. “I don’t disagree that government should continued on page 2

Ceana Priest’s series of suggested walks around Waipā looks at a one-hour walk taking in “awe inspiring” moments. For more information go to www.outdoorkids.co.nz Leamington Walkway The Ruakuri walk is a kid-friendly adventure which takes you deep into a sheltered gorge with towering cliffs, through limestone tunnels and along boardwalks clinging to cliff faces. A highlight is the gloomy Ruakuri Natural Bridge cavern that echoes with the sound of a river roaring through it - quite awe-inspiring! From the viewing platform you can see plenty of stalactites and stalagmites but use a torch here as the steps can be slippery. The walk does a series of loops, so follow the natural tunnel viewing platform signs until they change to car park signs and then you’ll know you are heading back to the car. On the return loop before the walk levels out, an impressive wooden staircase descends into the forest canopy before disappearing into the side of a cliff with dinosaur shaped rock formations. Along the way, keep an eye out for forest birds including kererū/native wood pigeon, tui, pīwakawaka/fantail and tauhou/waxeye. The loop is an accessible for younger kids with a helping hand, although toddlers would be best tucked in a backpack as there are some steep ledges beside the path. Facilities: Temporary toilets by the walk entrance. Large grassed area with picnic tables and coin

set standards for waste water, storm water and drinking water. And I’ll accept there are parts of New Zealand where councils are really struggling. But the rhetoric that water infrastructure across the whole country is fundamentally broken is just not the case and certainly not in Waipā.” He also said that too often local government was the whipping boy of central politicians and policy advisors with a “Wellington world view”. “Look, I’m not saying councils get everything right, because they don’t. But when things like Covid hit, it was councils and council staff on the front line, providing immediate social assistance.Without local government stepping up, New Zealand would have been in serious trouble,” he said. “And for the most part, councils have done a much better job of managing infrastructure than central government. We have 10-Year Plans and 30-year infrastructure plans and they are laid out and costed and everything is transparent. People largely know what their rates are going to be two or three years in advance – you can’t say that of expenses like your power bill.” “But governments change and flip-flop positions to suit their political view so the reality is that longterm planning for much of government-controlled infrastrucuture is a mess. And we can see that with things like hospitals, schools and roads.” “So while those in Wellington might be happy to point the finger at local government in terms of water, they should consider how they are managing some of the infrastructure they are responsible for as well.”
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.

operated BBQ by car park. Walking: Allow one hour for a relaxed explore of this one-kilometre loop. The path is well graded although it narrows as it passes through the limestone tunnels. There is also a mix of boardwalk and steep staircases. Buggies: This walk is not suitable for buggies. However, if you fancy a short 10-minute stroll take the buggy along the track to the first junction and turn right. You can explore a short way up to the bridge. How to get there: From Waitomo head west to the roundabout. Turn
left onto Tumutumu Road and drive for approximately two kilometres. Entrance to the car park is on the right.
The Ruakuri Walk offers a range of views – take a torch with you.
On the beat with Senior Constable DEB THURGOOD Party at Kelly Browne’s..! Happy school holidays! I hope those with children get the chance for a break and some family time. Remember, fun memories don’t have to be expensive. Last week I spoke about the dangers of misinformation on social media. Today’s topic is related. The weekend before last, Cambridge had a good example of a good party, gone wrong. No one plans to have a party where numbers get out of control and which results in antisocial behaviour spreading into the community, but sometimes it happens. It is timely to remember not only host responsibilities – but also to be aware again of the power of the Internet. When events are created in facebook, they can be set to private so that only those invited see them, and only the host can invite people. It isn’t foolproof however. With everyone having smartphones these days, screen shots of the party details are easy to take and equally as easy to share to a much larger audience than the party host ever intended. It is not unexpected that some of those spoken to by Police last week didn’t know the name of the host, replying that it was the mate of a mate’s party. When hosting friends and family for a BBQ or party, being properly prepared at the outset can help prevent a huge headache later on (pun intended!) If hosting at home, be considerate to your neighbours by being aware of the impact you will have on them (and as we saw, potentially on the community – if things go wild). If not inviting immediate neighbours, let them know when you are planning a party and

communicate an end time in advance, so that everyone’s expectations are set. If hiring a hall, be sure to find out any requirements around the supply of alcohol. Some church halls do not allow alcohol and depending on the event, you may need a special liquor licence if supplying it. Regardless of the venue, think about who you are inviting and be clear on the tone you want to set. Maybe try going old school on the invitations and have someone at the entrance to ensure any randoms get turned away swiftly. If inviting families/young children, consider going alcohol-free. If wanting to serve alcohol, or allowing people to bring their own, ensure that plenty of food and non-alcoholic options are also available. Remember it is illegal to supply alcohol to under 18 year olds (unless with their parent or guardians’ permission). Don’t keep providing alcohol to drunk guests and ensure that no one drives home drunk. Co-ordinate taxis or provide a bed for the night. It is also important to ensure that people don’t end up walking home alone when under the influence. Most importantly of all, abstain from drinking or at least limit your own alcohol intake as you will need to have a clear head to keep on top of things. By keeping these things in mind, you are more likely to have a safe, fun start to your daylight savings socialising and we won’t get called to break it up!

Aviation researcher gets top honour By Viv Posselt
Dave Homewood has been awarded the Duncan Campbell Award for 2020 by the New Zealand division of the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS). The award recognises excellence in aviation journalism. It acknowledges the Waipā man’s tireless work over almost two decades in starting and running the Wings Over Cambridge website, the Wings Over New Zealand Forum and the Wings Over New Zealand Show, bringing to public attention the wartime and civilian stories of Kiwi aviators, past and present. His work has long since extended beyond New Zealand’s shores; he has enthusiastic followers from around the world, and in 2015 was invited to do research in Australia which led to a Wings Over Australia podcast. Had Covid-19 not intervened, he would have travelled to the United Kingdom this year to collate stories of their aviators for yet another website. Dave, who for the past two years has also edited the quarterly New Zealand Sport Flying magazine, will receive his award at the RAeS symposium and annual dinner on October 30.
As much as he is honoured, humbled and “really thrilled”, the Cambridge man sees the award as validation for his efforts. “It feels like a real bonus for doing something I love… something I get a real kick out of every day. The feedback I’ve had on my win means such a lot, particularly as so much of it comes from people for whom I have immense respect.” There have been some powerful moments. One related to an image of an aviator he put up on his website, someone on which he had little information. The pilot’s son contacted Dave with some information, then his daughter got in touch, also with information. Neither of the half siblings knew of the other’s existence. “There ended up being two sisters the man never knew about. That floored me. That’s what I love about it.” Dave’s dad was an aviation pundit and Dave, who has never had a desire to learn to fly himself, spent years in the Royal New Zealand Air Force, mastering a host of ground-based skills. He left the Air Force and in 2003, after reading Errol Martyn’s trilogy “For Your Tomorrow”, recording New Zealand aviators who had

died in service, plunged into years of painstaking research and interviews. After doing a media course, he started the Wings Over Cambridge website, with 25 names and stories of former Cambridge aviators. The site now tells the stories of 300 men and women. In 2005, Dave got into proboards and created the Forum as a platform for often-asked questions – that now has 6400 members. It encompasses aviation across the board, and Dave found it was being read in
many parts of the world. In 2011 he started doing Wings Over New Zealand podcasts, recently completing its 227th episode. It all makes for an impressive body of work that tells vital stories and knits families together, ensuring material is not lost to future generations. The award recognises the importance of that work. But in Dave’s eyes, he is simply telling wonderful stories and doing something he loves.
Waikato Tourism chief optimistic
Waipā’s recent performance in the tourism market has been exceptional, Tourism Waikato cheif Jason Dawson says. He was responding to a new report from booking.com which listed a top 10 holiday destinations that had no mention of Waikato He said the report covered winter destinations, and apart from Opononi in Northland, all were ski or snow destinations. “As a region, we’ve always bucked low season trend in June every year due to the hosting of National Fieldays at Mystery Creek which was delivered online this year. Taking this into account, our region performed well considering the loss of our region’s most iconic major event and relying solely on the domestic visitor market.” Waipā District and the Waikato region had been performing exceptionally well with domestic visitor numbers over the past six months. “Prior to COVID-19, around 75 per cent of visitors to the Waikato region were domestic travellers. With around 2.6 million people living within a three-hour drive radius of Hamilton and the Waikato region, we were already a significant domestic drive market for the Upper North Island,” Dawson said. “The region’s annual visitor expenditure has only declined since the March 2020 lockdown to $1.432 billion for the year ending July 2020, a 9 per
cent decrease on the previous year, compared to a 13 per cent decline nationally. International visitors contributed an estimated $306 million to the region - domestic travellers injected $1.134 billion into the Waikato’s economy. “Waipā District’s iconic conservation visitor destination, Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari, has experienced an upsurge in visitor numbers since lockdown lifted. Locals and visitors to the region are keen to connect with the natural environment and see native birds thriving in their natural habitat, plus visiting one of the largest pestproof mainland wildlife sanctuaries in the world provides an added attraction.” In his latest update to Waipā Disrict Council he said compared to 2019, tourism spending dropped across all regions for the year ended June 2020. The West Coast region experienced the biggest decline, with a 20 per cent drop in annual spending. The Hawke’s Bay and Taranaki regions had the smallest declines in annual tourism spending, both down 8.0 per cent. The entire Waikato region performed well with a decline of only 7 per cent in Coromandel, and 10 per cent for the rest of Waikato including Taupō. Rotorua suffered a 16 per cent decline in visitor expenditure. Waipā also had 361 properties listed on AirBnB during June 2020 as alternative accommodation to traditional commercial offerings, down from 499
a year earlier due to the impacts of COVID-19. These properties recorded a 48 per cent occupancy in June 2020, on a par with the annual rate. Following a rebound in May, domestic tourism increased further in June and, in some Jason Dawson regions, exceeded June 2019 spending. The Waikato saw a 7 per cent increase in visitor expenditure for June 2020, compared to a 6.6 per cent uplift for the same month last year. The Waikato regional tourism region is the fifth largest in New Zealand for international visitor expenditure behind Auckland, Christchurch, Queenstown and Wellington. It is the fourth largest region for domestic visitor expenditure behind Auckland, Christchurch and Wellington. Waikato also recorded the second highest level of domestic visitors during the July school holidays across New Zealand in a recently published report by Data Ventures.

Info people want… information Thousands Destination Cambridge is poised to celebrate its 20th anniversary and wants to hear from anyone connected with the organisation and the Information Centre over the past two decades. Originally incorporated in August 2000 as the Cambridge Information Centre, it opened the doors to its current location in October of that year, almost immediately attracting up to 100 visitors a day under the steerage of then manager and now Waipā Deputy Mayor, Liz Stolwyk. At the same time Volunteering Waikato opened a referral desk in Cambridge, and the call went out for volunteers to assist at the information centre – an arrangement that continues today. What has now become a wellrecognised hub for both visitors and locals was initially considered “an enjoyable place to stop on the
Auckland to Rotorua highway”. By 2004, Cambridge was being called the “Queenstown of the North”, and the “Parnell of the Waikato”, and a Waipāwide working group was formed linking the Cambridge and Te Awamutu i-Sites, and the Tourism Waikato Advisory Board. Over time, what the i-Sites offered evolved along with the town itself and New Zealand’s tourism industry. The introduction of key sporting, outdoor events and high-performance sport sparked a need for more accommodation assistance, and the i-SITE became a travel agency, recommending and selling both local and national activities, accommodation, tours and transport. Souvenirs were introduced and products created, including heritage walks, bike hire, travel clubs, dairy and
farm tours, and the i-Site started helping at key events such as the Cambridge Christmas Parade and Armistice commemorations. A timeline has been created and Liz Stolwyk a reunion date for past and present staff, volunteers, board members and stakeholders is set for November 5, and Destination Cambridge would like to hear from anyone involved over the past 20 years who would like to attend and/or contribute to the history. Those keen to know more should phone 07-823 3456, pop in to the i-Site, or email info@cambridge.co.nz.
Council signs off subdivision plan Cambridge’s next major subdivision is one step closer following the endorsement of a structure plan. The C4 structure plan, which had an extended community consultation timeframe due to Covid-19, was endorsed at a Waipā District Council meeting this week. C4 is between Cambridge Road, Lamb Street and the gully network in Leamington. Council’s strategy manager Kirsty Downey said the final structure plan took
community feedback into consideration with a number of changes. “The main changes made as a result of community consultation were to change the proposed commercial centre into a stormwater catchment area and to change the T-intersection between Lamb Street and Silverwood Lane into a small roundabout. “The final C4 structure plan includes residential housing with an option for compact housing located near open spaces, new roads, pedestrian

for the Cambridge Motorcycle Club which has a resource consent to use the Rowling Place track in Leamington, which adjoins the land designated for the C4 growth cell. Consent conditions allow the club to operate from the track until at least 2021, with the consent lapsing when the land neighbouring the track is rezoned for residential growth. Without a zoning change, the club’s consent would remain operational until 2026.
enjoy the battle
The annual Battle of the Bridge attracted an estimated 3000-srong crowd to Memorial Park in Cambridge on Saturday. Organisers say they were delighted with the success of the community event, which pitched the Hautapu and Leamington clubs against each other in various sports. Leamington claimed the major trophy, beating Hautapu in the feature rugby clash of the day There was no love lost in a fiercely contest game which had Leamington ahead early through a Kade Ormsby penalty but saw the home side Hautapu lead 7-3 at the break. Leamington scored all the second half points through James Dunn and Karl Bolton (tries) and Ormsby added a conversion. Hautapu threw everything they had at Leamington, but the defence held strong for a Leamington victory. The day was lauded as a great one for Cambridge rugby. Hautapu claimed honours n the legends battle for the Over-45s 21-14. Leamington chairman Dave Peters said it was a “cracking game bringing together a lot of old friends to enjoy a game in front of a massive crowd”. The game did not disappoint with plenty of passion and big hits and even featured a penalty try. At the end of the day the wins were even as the netball was won convincingly by Leamington and the ladies’ Tug of war officiated by Olympian Sarah Ulmer and Taupō MP Louise Upston was won by Hautapu. Organiser Mark Nogaj said interest in the day was such that over 40 players registered for each team in the legends rugby. He said a lot of money was also raised for the Cambridge Community House on the day.

Global walk to celebrate the aged By Viv Posselt
Another global walk to celebrate the value of older people will be held at Cambridge Raceway from 10.30am on Monday, November 2. The event is again being organised by Cambridge’s advocate for seniors Florence Shearman. Despite being held a month later than usual to take advantage of better weather conditions, the walk will officially mark the United Nationsdesignated International Day of Older Persons on October 1. It will also give a nod to October 4, 2020, recognition of
New Zealand Grandparents’ Day. With that in mind, Cambridge Primary School principal Mike Pettit will join groups of grandparents and grandchildren in doing the global walk around the track. The walk itself will be preceded by entertainment starting around 10am, guided by compere and former racing commentator, Jason Teaz. There will be free teas and coffees, music from a local band, and a VIP ride around the track in four double-seater sulkies, wearing either harness or jockey club colours. Among VIPs invited are Waipā
District Mayor Jim Mylchreest and deputy mayor Liz Stolwyk, Cambridge Jockey Club chief executive Mark Fraser-Campin, Cambridge Police senior constable Deb Thurgood, former Olympic cyclist Sarah Ulmer, Grey Power representatives and local jockeys. Several other government invitees have yet to confirm. This year marks the 75th anniversary of the United Nations, and the 30th anniversary of the International Day of Older Persons. The 2020 observance also promotes the Decade of Healthy Ageing (2020-2030), aimed at bringing together international experts to
discuss the objectives of the global strategy and action plan on ageing and health. The 2020 theme aims to raise awareness of the special needs of older people, increase awareness around the role of health care workers in maintaining and improving the health of older people, to present proposals for reducing health disparities between older people in developed and developing countries, and to increase understanding of the impact of Covid-19 on older people. The United Nations (UN) has prioritised the needs of older
people since the onset of the pandemic earlier this year. UN Secretary-General António Guterres said Covid-19 was causing untold fear and suffering among older people globally. “Beyond its immediate health impact, the pandemic is putting older people at greater risk of poverty, discrimination and isolation,” he said. “It is likely to have a particularly devastating impact on older people in developing countries.” More details on Cambridge’s global walk for the aged are from Florence Shearman on 027 278 1286.
Market’s day in the sun New Cambridge Farmers Market manager Caleb Clemens brought some luck with him last Saturday. On a weekend notable for warm sunny moments and torrential rain, the sun shone throughout the day – drawing a healthy crowd. US-born Caleb, a 38-year-old father of three, is no stranger to the market. His wife Marlies’ family has been a part of the farmers market as Rivendel Gardens – “the Tomato Man” for about 11 years. “My wife has taken over the family business and we are expanding into other crops amongst other things like potentially our own mustard, sauces and mayonnaise,” he said. As site manager he liaises with stall holders, the town and the customer base. “I work in a team with Fleur the Hamilton Farmers Market Site Manager and Kathryn [Hunter] the Waikato Farmers Market
Administrator in organising for new stall holders, craft markets and just in general planning to make sure the markets run smoothly without a hitch if possible. We work for the Waikato Farmers Market Trust which is made up of stall holders and locals in the area.” Kathryn Hunter, Hamilton and Cambridge Farmers Market Trust administrator, said with wet weather predicted for the weekend, the market struck it lucky with a fine morning on the Square – and the return of strawberries was a sign spring was here and that other sought after seasonal produce would not be far away. “The market size will increase as spring moves into summer, as more stallholders have their produce ready - think asparagus, courgettes, berries, tomatoes,” she said. “Shop local and support local is a 2020 catch phrase and is easily achieved with shopping at the market.”

Primary sector keeps numbers up Waipā has bucked the national trend thanks to a $68 million increased dairy payout, which slightly lifted average annual gross domestic product over the latest quarter. But a report to Waipā District Council by Wellington-based economists Infometrics say the good news is not likely to last. Unlike many other businesses, most primary industries in Waipā remained in operation during alert level 3 and 4 Covid-19 lockdowns. The dairy pay-out alone is estimated to have pushed $527 million into the Waipā economy. That helped Waipā achieve a modest 0.2 per cent increase in GDP for the quarter until June, compared to a 1.4 per decrease for the Waikato region and a 2.1 per cent decrease for New Zealand overall. Covid-19 saw consumer spending in Waipā flatline during the quarter, not as bad as the 1.9 per cent decrease in spending across the wider Waikato and the 2.8 per cent decrease nationwide. Waipā’s tourism spend was down 8.3 per cent compared to 12.3 nationally. Waipā house prices were also ahead of the pack, rising 8.4 per cent over the previous year and outpacing real estate figures of
7.5 per cent nationally. However the Infometrics report noted “labour market weaknesses could see property market softness emerge early next year”. Despite the slightly positive results, Infometrics said many Waipā households were in a tough position. Waipā jobseeker support recipients rose 19.2 per cent over the quarter, ahead of the greater Waikato (17.7 per cent) and even more than the 19 per cent national figure. A further 565 people in the district were receiving the Covid-19 wage subsidy. “The June quarter likely represents the largest single hit to the economy,
Peace in our time
but the economic scarring and restructuring will continue to occur over the coming years. New Zealand is not out of the woods yet,” the Infometrics report said. Council chief executive Garry Dyet said the quarterly economics information was invaluable in gauging how the district was coping with the ongoing economic fall-out of the global pandemic. “This is the kind of information we’ll need as we actively move towards setting budgets and confirming work programmes for the coming 2021-2031 Long Term Plan.”
Farmers kept producing during the Covid lockdown.

A rugby “anorak” has produced an e-book on a rugby trophy with an unusual history. The Peace Cup is a symbol of inter provincial rugby in Waikato – and now Bay of Plenty. It’s up for grabs this year again – and Te Awamutu will play Hamilton in Hamilton tomorrow night for a place in the sub union final where it and the Stan Meads Trophy will be up for grabs. The cup’s 100th birthday is being celebrated this year as stories about the trophy are retold by Barry Leabourn in his book The Battered Silverware. He quotes press reports in the forward to the book - “it’s been towed behind a bus… and it got thrown out of a train once and was lost for 12 years until a farmer found it”. The Peace Cup, originally known as the Peace Memorial Cup, was inaugurated in 1919 to mark the formal end of the First World War. Hamilton accountant Richard English (1881-1965) donated the Cup to the Hamilton Rugby Union to mark the occasion. The original intention was to produce a book to coincide with the Centenary celebrations in 2020 – but that’s been put off for a year thanks to Covid 19. That has proved a blessing, because the author said he underestimated the enormity of the task of producing the history of the Peace Cup. The narrative is being placed online as an e-book, with an

updated hardcopy to accompany the 2021 Peace Cup celebrations. “I have been a sports nut since my father took me just up the road to Athletic Park in Wellington as a youngster in the 1950s,” Leabourn told the News. “I can recall seeing the 1956 Springboks play at the park three times as a 11-year-old.” He found his vocation as an amateur sports historian around a 25 years ago. His previous publications include “The Story So Far”, given away by Boxing New Zealand to libraries and secondary schools and “Caught Wright Bowled Beard”, which was given away to cricket fans by BOP Cricket. He followed that with e-books as sports reference stories that can be sourced on-line and reflect his love of boxing, cricket, rugby and horse racing.

Council signs off plan Cambridge’s next major subdivision is one step closer following the endorsement of a structure plan. The C4 structure plan, which had an extended community consultation timeframe due to Covid-19, was endorsed at a Waipā District Council meeting this week. C4 is between Cambridge Road, Lamb Street and the gully network in Leamington. Council’s strategy manager Kirsty Downey said the final structure plan took community feedback into consideration with a number of changes. “The main changes made as a result of community consultation were to change
the proposed commercial centre into a stormwater catchment area and to change the T-intersection between Lamb Street and Silverwood Lane into a small roundabout. “The final C4 structure plan includes residential housing with an option for compact housing located near open spaces, new roads, pedestrian and cycle pathways as well as recreational reserves for residents to enjoy.” A new major roundabout at the Kaipaki Road, Lamb Street and Cambridge Road intersection is also featured to significantly improve road safety for traffic approaching Cambridge and the new urban area.
Overall, 99 responses were received, with 66 supportive of the plan as it stood or with minor changes, and 33 opposed. Of those opposed, the majority were concerned for the Cambridge Motorcycle Club which has a resource consent to use the Rowling Place track in Leamington, which adjoins the land designated for the C4 growth cell. Consent conditions allow the club to operate from the track until at least 2021, with the consent lapsing when the land neighbouring the track is rezoned for residential growth. Without a zoning change, the club’s consent would remain operational until 2026.
Te Ara Wai in the running Work on a project to showcase Waipā’s significant cultural sites has been acknowledged as some of the best design work in New Zealand. Professional story telling agency Wellington-based Locales is a finalist in three categories of The Designers Institute of New Zealand design awards. The awards recognise work done on Waipā District Council’s Te Ara Wai Journeys, a free self-guided tour of Waipā sites. Te Ara Wai Journeys shares 169 stories, including stories of Waipā’s multiple New Zealand Land Wars sites. Since it was launched in December 2019, thousands of people have taken the journey via the website.
Locales is a finalist in installation and exhibition, digital products and toitanga which is an award focusing on Maori codesign. Award winners will be announced in midNovember.

NO PLANET B
On the path of least resistance By Peter Matthews
I called in to the dairy at Hautapu yesterday and spotted a poster on the notice board. It was advertising the new Sharing Shed at Country Creche, and above the picture of shelves full of home grown produce, were the words: “Take what you need, share what you can.” That sounds like a good idea - something to live by. The problem is the gap between what we need and what we want. This morning I wanted to drive the car to work; it had been raining all night, the ground was wet and the sky very grey with only the odd patch of blue. What I needed was to get to work. I finally made the decision to ride the bike, it keeps me moving and doesn’t burn any fossil fuel. In fact, me riding around town on a bike is as much about fitness as saving the planet. I really don’t believe that individual actions are going to reverse the current slide towards climate and environmental collapse. That is going to have to come from governments, and possibly David Attenborough, they do seem to be listening to him. And so it is encouraging, even exciting, to hear that China has expressed its intention to reach carbon zero by 2060 and Boris Johnson has pledged to have 30% of the UK’s land under some form of environmental protection by 2030. These things are moving in the right direction but is it happening fast enough? One year on from the UK’s commitment to carbon zero by 2050 there hasn’t really been much progress towards it, even with the drop in CO2 emissions which has resulted from the Covid crisis. Can enough be done to turn it all around?
Populations around the world are still going to grow, and all those new people will need somewhere to live. And all countries, which are not at war with themselves or others appear still to be tied to the notion that economic growth is a necessity. So how are we going to manage the inexorable expansion of world economies and the ever increasing amount of land required to house and feed the continually growing populations at the same time as reversing the freefall into extinction of many of the world’s species and the rampant degradation of natural habitats? Not even to mention climate change, which unchecked - as the science indicates it currently is compounds all of the above problems. Is it not an impossible task - to repair a damaged planet, in a short space of time, with a diminishing range of resources? It seems a bit redundant to surmise, at this point, that the problems we now face have been caused by people taking what they want rather than what they need. Not only because we have probably passed several points of no return already but also because it’s just a fact of life. Water will follow the path of least resistance, as will electricity, as will any animal, including we humans. It’s natural.

FAITH IN WAIPĀ
Try to remember the kind of September By Michelle Smith
THE AGE OF REASON
So…which party to pick?
By Peter Carr
It’s amazing how many milestones our family has clocked up in Septembers. Family birthdays are in there, numerous voluntary aid trips into Third World countries, and 10 years ago it was when we left our beautiful family home at Lake Karapiro after giving it away, and began an exciting ‘homeless’ phase of our lives. September 2020 was a doozie with my husband, Murray, being knocked off his motorbike. We still have a long road ahead with his recovery, but we’re praising God because it could have been so much worse than it was. With the rollercoaster of life’s highs and lows it’s easy to feel that everything is completely out of our control – like we are somehow just voiceless puppets dragged along in this show called Life. Although there are certainly troubles that we go through that are outside our control, there is one thing we are always in control of, and that’s our attitude. I’ve often told my kids “it’s not what happens to you that shapes you, it’s how you deal with what happens to you” Last year our youngest son was chosen to represent Cambridge Middle School in a trip to Japan which was due to take place in September 2019. He was so excited and honoured to have been chosen, he was counting down the days six months in advance of the trip. Suddenly life took one of its weird twists, and he was diagnosed with a chronic and incurable illness – Crohn’s Disease. We have faced multiple surgeries, agonizing pain, long hospital stays for him with me by his side, and probably
what was the biggest disappointment of his short life – he was unable to take the trip to Japan as planned. The day we had to tell our son his diagnosis was hideous. Oh the tears, the anger, the confusion, the pity party, the tantrums; and that was just my reaction! Despite the pain our special young man had a wonderful perspective that he chose to focus on “Mum, I’m loving getting to spend all this one on one time with you!” Just as our son looks to us during his hard times, the Bible assures us that we have an awesome friend that we can look to; One who is closer than a brother, who walks with us through the fire and the flood. It doesn’t promise that we won’t go through hard stuff, but it does promise that we don’t have to do it alone. We weren’t designed to have to battle alone, we were always designed to be in relationship with the One who created us. I’m so grateful to know that I don’t walk through difficult seasons alone. It’s so comforting to know that throughout all the unknowns there is someone who transcends all these seasons in our lives - a reliable strength who holds us steady. And the truly awesome thing is that He isn’t just available for a select few – His arms are outstretched to all who seek Him.
By the time readers pick this out of their letter box there will be 16 days to the last chance to vote for your next government. I imagine that by now most people will have made their main choice as to the local candidate but there may be much wavering on the second – or party – vote. Now that the leader of NZ First has started attacking indigenous interests it appears that there may be a marked swing to decide which of the other two smaller parties will get to be the bride in the pecking order on the green leather seats in Wellington. Each could pick up around eight to 10 seats. This is not an election to reward how Covid was handled. It is what it is. What is really relevant is who has the most attractive and plausible plan to enable us to rise Phoenix-like from the ashes of the biggest deficit in history. To ensure that employment improves, that the appalling amount of child poverty is reduced, to permit 1100 people (in Hamilton alone) who are being supported in commercial motels to find a proper roof over their heads. And – to recognise that parenthood being financially taken over by WINZ is compensated by the fathers of a myriad small children being formally recognised to pay their dues to remove the burden from the taxpayer. We are in troubled times. We anguish over the lead articles on our screens as the evening news spews forth its sad diatribe. School principals are seeing their highly educated and hard-working staff forking out their own money to put food in the bellies of young children.
In turn, the government of the day (including their Green ‘partners’) happily passed over in excess of $11 million to a well-heeled learning establishment. That was while a bright and articulate young lady principal rightly bemoans that five of her classrooms built in 1962 (almost 60 years ago) are still in their initial physical condition – subject of course to the hard knocks of subsequent wear and tear. And then there is (and will be) the election ‘debates’ on TV. When I was at school debating was a form and an art. Articulate and well thought out, put and take, balancing argument, finalising summaries etc. But all people (and dare I say it, journalists) fall over themselves to decide who won? Who cares? What we need from party leaders is the capability to distance themselves from cat-calling, harking back to ‘when you were in power’ and name-calling .Instead put some professionalism into the discussion and set out some workable policies. Both key parties are of the centre. They should not be far removed from each other. But they regale us with ridiculous and unreachable promises that will never eventuate. It is time for Maggie Thatcher to reappear. Perhaps she can be reincarnated as a Kiwi, keen of the mind, resolute with a strong verbal muscles and a sharp intellect that would make political arm wrestling into a form that would fill our very empty sports stadiums.

Alterior Motif is nearing a raceday return after his eye-catching 6-1/4 length debut victory at Cambridge Raceway in June. The exciting pacer’s future looked set to be in Sydney after the victory, however, his sale fell through. “They wanted to see him race again. It [the sale] could still be on,” said owner and co-trainer Andrew Neal, who trains in partnership with his wife Lyn. “I wasn’t worried about the sale, it will happen at some stage, meanwhile it’s nice to have one like him around.” The son of Sportswriter has won two recent workouts at Cambridge Raceway, including a 2200m hit-out on Saturday. “I just needed to give him another couple of trials this time in because he is still a green horse and he needs that practice to get back into it, but I am pretty happy with him now,” Neal said. “He’s had the two workouts this time in. He won his other workout as well and now he is ready to race.” Neal is having some issues in placing Alterior Motif, but he is hoping to kick-off his preparation at Cambridge Raceway on Saturday.
“I am pretty limited to what I can do because I can’t get him to go Auckland way around at the moment,” he said. “We have been looking at trying to get a free win and put a junior driver on but there are hardly any junior drivers around.” A ‘free win’ means there is no penalty in the handicap system. “We will put Alterior Motif in for Saturday and hopefully it will be a junior race where we have a chance of a free win.” A raceday return is also imminent for Neal’s quirky but talented trotter Credit Master. The nine-win gelding took on the pacers in the same workout as his stablemate on Saturday.

Credit Master has had a tendency to become anxious and break after a few starts and Neal said he has been trying to work through those issues. “He has got a bit of a mental problem in that if he has two or three starts he just stresses out and is hard to handle,” he said. “At home he is just an angel, anybody can do anything with him, but he just gets that wound up at the races and the more starts he has the worse he gets. His erratic nature has ruled him out of a trip south this spring and Neal said he will instead stay at home and target some of the trotting features over the Christmas-New Year period.– Cambridge Raceway

MORTGAGE MATTERS
Refinancing Your Mortgage
By Gavin Lynch – Yes Mortgages
Refinancing your mortgage is the process of changing your mortgage lending from your existing lender to a new lender. Refinancing is a common practice for any of these reasons: • You don’t like the lender you are with. You’ve experienced poor service, problems with staff, or high account fees. • You want to borrow more money but the lender won’t allow it. Perhaps you want to consolidate debt, borrow to purchase a rental property or a vehicle, or put working capital into a business. • You have ‘outgrown’ your existing lender and want to move forward. This is common for self-employed people with a growing business, or for investors with an increasing portfolio. • Your lender has asked you to refinance. You may be in arrears with mortgage repayments or you need to restructure your mortgage. Refinancing can involve costs such as break fees from the existing lender, solicitors’ fees, valuation charges etc, but we can help get cash contributions from your new lender to help offset these costs. At Yes Mortgages, we can outline the costs involved and find the best new lender to fit your current situation from the 25 or so different lenders available. In most instances, our service is FREE to you. Generally the benefits of refinancing outweigh the costs involved but bear in mind: Refinancing your mortgage must benefit and add value to YOU. Let us do the work to find you the best lender for your situation.
Cambridge FC’s technical director Ricki Herbert said the club was keen to provide young players with opportunities to test themselves at tournaments where many of the country’s best young players were attending. “These tournaments can play a big part in helping to encourage young players to work on their game and to set their sights on being the best they can,” Herbert said. Herbert said Cambridge had worked with Hamilton Wanderers to help prepare players. “It’s terrific the two clubs understand the importance of tournaments and that we can work together to give as many players as possible the experience of going to these events.” The two tournaments will bring an end to Cambridge junior football for winter though the club is hosting a oneday tournament for over-40 men’s players on October 10. In November, more than 350 men, women and young
adults are expected to take part in this year’s Cambridge Summer League, a 5-a-side competition. Meanwhile, the club’s senior programme has almost ended. The only men’s team with remaining fixtures is the WaiBOP Championship side who play their final match at Tauranga Old Blues on Saturday. The side lost 2-1 last weekend at Hamilton Wanderers, ending a six-match unbeaten run. Jordan Lamb put Wanderers ahead in the 38th minute before Cambridge levelled a minute later through Adam Brady, scoring his ninth goal of the season. Lamb grabbed the winner for Wanderers with three minutes remaining. Despite the loss, Cambridge are assured of winning Group B of the championship.
Yearbury first in extreme off-road event Waipā’s Dylan Yearbury won the second round New Zealand Extreme Off-road Championship near Whangamata on Saturday, The Husqvarna TE300 rider finished 34 seconds ahead of Wainuiomata’s Jake Whitaker, (KTM EXC300tpi), who leads the four-round series. Helensville’s Tom Buxton (KTM EXC300), New Plymouth’s Tony Parker (KTM XCW300) and Thames
rider Jason Davis (Husqvarna TC300) rounded out the top five in the elite Gold Grade on Saturday. With riders to discard their worst result from the three North Island rounds of the series and the South Island finale therefore really a must-do event, the title chase is still wide open. Injury prevented Cambridge’s Yearbury from contesting the series opener near Porirua but that matters
only slightly because this will become his “discard” event, although the pressure will be on him to perform well at the other rounds. Round three of the series is to be a two-dayer in Hawke’s Bay on October 31 and November 1, with the competition again wrapping up with another double-header weekend, at the Nut Buster hard enduro at Oxford, near Christchurch, on November 14-15.

How the netball show goes on Covid disruption of sport over winter resulted in two major netball tournaments being cancelled - the Upper North Island and national secondary schools’ event. In response the premier coaches of the St Peters team – the 2019 secondary school champs - Ange Russek and Te Aroha Keenan hatched a plan. They set about hosting their our own “St Peter’s Premier Netball Invitational Tournament” to replicate a high level of competition and enable secondary school netballers to come together at the end of their season. Top North Island Secondary School Teams were invited from Wellington to north of Auckland and immediate response was positive. This resulted in the maximum of 12 teams being secured very early in the planning. “After we had our maximum of 12 teams, we were inundated with emails from other schools expressing interest. We were asked: what is stopping us from running a tier 2 tournament the week before?” St
Peters Communications manager Ange Russek said. “The enthusiasm and energy went up another level and next thing, we were hosting a 3-day tournament from September 30 to October 2 for 16 more teams that missed out on the initial tournament. Our up and coming netballers will have the opportunity to play in a development St Peter’s Invitational team at this second tournament.” St Peter’s has become a one-stop venue with accommodation on site, indoor courts, dining hall facilities and pool and gym recovery. Todd Barker (Strength and Conditioning Coach) and Ben Feinberg-Danieli (Aquatic Director) are providing recovery sessions in the gym and pool. Body Performance Physio are offering on-site physio treatments and strapping sessions for all players. “Jody Bloor, our Facility Hire Co-Ordinator has been amazing to work with and providing quality accommodation and dining options for
our visiting schools. NZ qualified umpires quickly registered interest with some of the top umpires from the Regions attending, along with umpire support coaching in place during the weeks. St Peter’s Premier Netball team sponsor Ogle Projects jumped on board, sponsoring the Premier Invitational tournament in week two of the holidays and donating a trophy. Wintec Sports Science are sponsoring our Tier 2 tournament with 1st Aid responders and massage. The St Peter's Parents' Association are making goodie packs for each team, led by the Allyson Gofton. "These tournaments are a great example of a team effort with all our sport management staff and student netballers on board and ready to help where they can,” Russek said. “Over two weeks we will have 26 teams visiting our campus. Our goal is to provide them with top level service, quality netball games and a positive tournament experience.”
The sixth of the very best St Peter’s Premier Girls Basketball Team have won the Waikato title for the sixth time in a row. The team scored an 82-65 win over perennial rival Hamilton Girls High to clinch the title and will now head to Palmerston North to play some of the top teams in the central and mid north regions. Pictured above are, standing, from left, Olivia Lassey, Tannika Leger-Walker, Kaylah Waihi, Grace McGirr, Breeje Schuler, Kate Gallien, Caitlyn Ward and Taiana Day, and kneeling, from left, Ahi Williams, Hana Lacey-Rameka, Lyric Vaetoe, Alana Paewai and Imogene Short. The other team members are Rylee Godbold and Toha Kemp.
Unition back on track
Cambridge trainers Murray Baker and Andrew Forsman are hoping the gelding of Unition has done the trick. The China Horse Club-owned three-year-old stood out as an early juvenile when winning the Listed Fasttrack Insurance 5K Bonus 2YO Stakes (1100m) on debut before placing in the Gr.2 Wakefield Stakes (1100m) in his only other two-year-old start. However, the son of Fastnet Rock and Group One winning mare Diademe disappointed with his first-up eighth-placing in the Gr.3 Northland Breeders’ Stakes (1200m) and the decision was made to geld him. Unition came through the operation well and showed positive signs when winning his 1000m trial at Te Aroha on Tuesday. “It was a nice win,” Baker said. “He ran very disappointingly at Te Rapa first-up and he was immediately gelded. “Let’s hope he is right now and has his mind on the job and can transform that form onto raceday.” Nominated for the Gr.1 Al Basti Equiworld 48th New Zealand 2000 Guineas (1600m) in November, Baker said they are yet to decide his next step towards the three-year-old feature race. “We will pick something out in the next few days for him.” Meanwhile, the spring campaign of Group One winner Quick Thinker has ground to a halt, with the four-year-old entire currently undergoing a veterinary examination in Ballarat after his fifth-placing in the Gr.3 JRA Cup (2040m) last Friday. “We are going to know more in the next couple of days,” Baker said. He was very disappointing the other day and we are just looking into it. “He hung very badly so there is obviously something not right.”

Hair there and everywhere! Euthanasia debate By Matteo Di Maio
Off came the beloved dreadlocks and the perms, the quiffs and the fringes at last Wednesday’s Shave For A Cure event at Cambridge High School. Over 50 students and teachers lost their hair to raise money for cancer research, following CHS head boy Tommy O’Brien’s diagnosis with testicular cancer earlier this year. Behind the whole event was deputy head boy William Crofsky, O’Brien’s colleague in the student executive. “A few of the boys from the exec thought if Tommy was going bald so were we,” Crofsky said. The idea to do a “shave for a cure” began last month. From there, Crofsky and the student exec had the job of contacting hairdressers, setting up a donations page, and contacting local media. “William organized everything and almost single handedly fundraised $16,000,” O’Brien said. “He's helped me and so many others through the shave for a cure.” When O’Brien started treatment, Crofsky was the one who shaved his hair. And, last Wednesday, the favour was returned — with Tommy kicking off the event by shaving Crofsky’s. “Tommy was the one who shaved my hair, which was an amazing feeling,” Crofsky said. “After my head was shaved, I almost felt relieved as well as extremely happy knowing that one, the day was a major success and two, that I was doing a lot of good for the community and that I was supporting all cancer patients out there.” All in all, Crofsky could not have expected such a “positive and encouraging” response from the event. “The whole school got in behind Tommy and the cause which was amazing to see,” he said.

The event, which took place on CHS’ outdoor stage, drew a huge crowd of cheering students — in fact, teachers had trouble getting them to leave. “It all started when we put the Shave for a Cure page up for donations,” Crofsky explained. “Within the first day, we reached $6000 when our original target was just $3000. I was overwhelmed with this response and we then raised the goal to $10,000.” By the day of the event,
Crofsky and the school had raised over $16,000 for the Shave for a Cure organisation; the money will go towards cancer research and treatments. The current total is $17,040, which “will do a lot of good for those suffering from any cancer related illness,” he said. The page stays active for the rest of the year, and can be found at: https://shaveforacure. everydayhero.com/nz/ cambridge-high-school-shavefor-a-cure

OCTOBER SPRING CLEAN
A free public meeting on the End of Life Choice Act and upcoming referendum will be held in Cambridge next Tuesday, at 10.30am. The meeting will be held at the Cambridge Health and Community Centre in Taylor St. It will be led by church minister and carer for the terminally ill, Rev Heather Major, who took part in an End of Life Choice Act debate held in Te Awamutu in July. The End of Life Choice Act is one of two referenda subjects to be put to voters at this month’s general election. The other relates to the legalisation of the recreational use of cannabis. Rev Major said that regardless of a person’s views on assisted dying, it was important for voters to be well-informed on the details of the Act.
