Eightyyear-old Doug Mienie trains at Cambridge Fitness Centre.

It’s a real newspaper

The weighting game…

Doug Mienie is almost 81 but could easily pass for 60.

The secret, the gently spoken octogenarian says, is “good living and hard training”.

Doug, recognised in the Cambridge Sports Walk of Fame in 2018, has been striving to succeed in top level sport for six decades.

Earlier this month he competed at the New Zealand Powerlifting Championships in Auckland, where he bench pressed 81kg, breaking his own New Zealand record and qualifying for the World Masters and Oceania Championships.

“I did 130kg and set a New Zealand record a few years ago when I was about 74, but age is catching up on me,” he said.

Now, he wants to be the first person aged over 80 in the world to officially bench press 85kg.

“I had a go in Auckland but just missed,” he said.

“I intend to get that at the world champs.”

Doug has represented Waikato in nine sports and New Zealand in four – judo, bodybuilding, masters swimming and masters powerlifting.

“When I was 54, four years after I’d retied from bodybuilding, I was diagnosed with diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis,” he said.

“It was that bad we had a two-storey house and we had to sell that because I couldn’t get up the steps. As far as weights,

I could only lift the bar. I had to start right back again from zero. I thought by the time I’m 60 I’ll be in a wheelchair. But by training and going to the specialist, who put me on some good medication, I managed to get well again. I never thought that I’d be starting to powerlift at the age of 70.”

It is the sheer joy of competing that has kept him involved in sport since he first took up bodybuilding at age 18.

“I weighed 63kg and I wanted to be bigger so I joined a gym and in nine months I went up to 83kg and had to buy new clothes.”

He switched to Olympic lifting in 1960 and took silver at the South African junior Olympic lifting championships and gold at the Transvaal championships.

That year he came to New Zealand after meeting rugby fan Aubrey Brough, who was in South Africa supporting the All Blacks and offered him a shearing gig in the King Country. At 21, Doug left home with “nothing but a suitcase and £45”.

Shearing suited him well and he worked on farms around the country for the next decade before arriving in Cambridge in 1970.

“But I’d married my wife Dawn in 1967 and we had two young children and I wasn’t able to spend much time with them, so I went to work at the Cambridge freezing works,” he said.

He later worked as a real estate agent before he and Dawn opened the town’s first gym, Body Culture, in 1982. They have since sold the gym, now named Cambridge Fitness Centre, but Doug still works out there three times a week and trains powerlifters for free. That was his route into the sport 10 years ago.

“I was working at the gym as a personal trainer

and the owner asked me if I’d train a few boys who wanted to do powerlifting,” he said.

“I found out I was lifting as much as them, so I entered a contest when I was 70 and then I went to Sydney to the Oceania champs and I got Commonwealth records.”

Doug says the time to retire from top-level competition may be nearing, but he has one last record to knock off first.

“I was thinking it’d be nice to finish at the world champs,” he said. “But you never know.”

A Cambridge tertiary student is one of two to receive a $4500 Tourism Industry New Zealand Trust Academic.

Alexia Williams (Tainui, Ngati Tamainupo) is studying towards a Tourism and Travel Diploma at the New Zealand School of Tourism. The scholarships, which have been on offer each year since 2015, are open to young New Zealanders about to commence their final year of tertiary study in a tourism-related course in 2021.

Alexia and Sophie Galletly of WelTec were presented with their scholarships a last week’s Tourism Summit Aotearoa in Wellington by Tourism Industry Chair Gráinne Troute.

On the beat with Senior Constable DEB THURGOOD Don’t let that snowball roll As we are in White Ribbon week, I thought that I would talk to you about Family Harm and specifically what it means for Police to be called to a Family Harm incident.

I recently had a conversation, where I was told that a person had seen someone yelling aggressively at their young children for a prolonged period one day. They’d never seen the person so angry and got concerned to the point where they asked whether Police should be called. The offer was rejected on the basis it would only make things worse.

When I heard that, it reinforced to me that Police should definitely have been called as fear of incurring further abuse from the perpetrator is in part why the cycle continues. It was the loss of an opportunity to help this family.

When Police are called to a Family Harm incident, it can range from a heated verbal argument to a full-on physical assault. The way in which we deal with an incident will depend on circumstances, the severity of any crimes committed and the level of evidence available. Regardless, in every case, a Family Harm report is submitted at a bare minimum. This report has two key important outcomes. The first is that the

incident is officially recorded. With Family Harm, unless serious intervention takes place, things will only escalate overtime.

An aggressive verbal argument escalates to intimidation through property damage, which often then becomes pushing and shoving, punching and kicking and even impeding breath or worse. Psychological, emotional and financial manipulation and control also often factor. The timeframe over which this escalation occurs varies.

Reporting the incident means that this pattern is evident through Police records and can hopefully be interrupted.

The second outcome is that all reports are reviewed by the Integrated Safety Response (ISR) group. This is a multiagency intervention designed to ensure the safety of victims and children. Through ISR, and direct local Police intervention, the core stressors can be addressed and where appropriate ‘scaffolding’ put in place around a family to change the dynamic. This may include assistance around drug and alcohol or other counselling/anger management, budgeting, support with food and housing, employment initiatives and childcare. Many of these can contribute to a Family Harm situation.

Where an arrest isn’t possible or appropriate, Police have the option of serving a Police Safety Order (PSO) on the aggressor. A PSO may be issued for between one and 10 days and means that that aggressor cannot harass, assault or contact the victim (directly or indirectly) nor return to their location for the duration. If they do, they can be arrested and put before the court. A PSO allows all parties to take time out, and in some cases provides time for longer term solutions to be put in place. Sometimes a situation necessitates the relocation of a victim (and their children) to a safe, new location, assistance with applying for a Protection Order and for a duress alarm to be put in place.

Just as a snowball increases in size when it rolls down the mountainside, Family Harm situations invariably only get worse. If someone you know is in need of assistance, or you hear an incident taking place, please make the phone call to Police at the time.

Together we can break the cycle.

Anti-violence walk

Taupo MP Louise Upston will join participants at Saturday’s ‘Walk in Her Shoes’ event, at the Cambridge Athletic Club in Vogel St. The event, starting at 10.30am, is organised by Violence Free Waipā as part of this year’s White Ribbon programme aimed at ending violence against women.

The walk over 0.5km invites men, women and children to bring a pair of heels and take part. The walk is part of the inaugural Cambridge Athletic Club Park Christmas Market, which will be at the venue from 9am to 1pm.

Playground opens

An army of volunteers led

by Frank Spence, Kent Fife and Anthony McGovern has completed a project started last year to add a new playground to Hautapu School to cater for junior students. The new playground, funded partly by the theschool PTA and work of an interprise unit which designed products to sell, was opened last week.

Time to nominate 2020 person of the year

It’s time once again for us to select the Cambridge News Person of the Year, and readers are being invited to send us their suggestions as to the person they think might be a worthy recipient for 2020.

We’re looking for someone who has either been a stand-out in the community during the past year, perhaps going above and beyond to help others, or a person who has achieved particularly well in their own field.

The title was first awarded at the end of 2017, when Linda Roil was recognised for the work she does as founder of Kids in Need Waikato. Linda and her husband began fostering children in 2014.

It was after they identified gaps in support for both foster children and their caregivers that they

eventually started Kids in Need Waikato, forming a charitable trust in early 2018.

The second Cambridge News Person of the Year was Jan Nesbit, who was recognised for her community work, including helping fundraise for the Foundation for the Blind, and the Cancer Association. Jan, who was the first female ambulance driver in the Waikato, lost her sight in 2008. In the five years leading up to her award, she had co-ordinated hundreds of Red Cross journeys transporting local residents to and from medical appointments in Hamilton.

Last year, Rosemary Hill became the third recipient of the award. Described as one of Cambridge’s most influential leaders, Rosemary’s legacy ties her to the former

Waipā District Council’s new commmunity advisors have a huge job ahead to help Waipā people recover equitably from the impacts of Covid-19.

Just two weeks into the job Gina Scott and Corren Ngerengere have begun to identify key challenges for the district’s social sector. And they have also begun to see barriers to recovery, particularly one which includes the most vulnerable.

Gina and Corren began their jobs in early November, charged with helping coordinate locally-led initiatives and, in partnership with iwi, working alongside Waipā organisations to assist those hardest hit by Covid-19. The 18-month fixedterm roles are funded from the $795,000 recovery package set aside by Council in June when economic predictions were dire.

Waipā is faring better than expected but Gina and Corren say some locals are doing it tough and will find it harder to bounce-back.

Both have backgrounds in Waipā’s community sector – Gina with Sport Waikato and Corren with social services.

But Gina said they have already found groups and issues they weren’t aware of, or issues they didn’t realise the extent of.

“Our immediate goal is to get out and cast our net far and wide so we can work in those areas of

most need. It’s obvious there are some significant inequities in how some parts of the community are doing. What’s great is that people so far are very receptive to us and they clearly want a more localised, coordinated approach to community services.”

The availability of rental properties and the rocketing cost of housing in the district has been identified as a key issue.

“It’s easy for people to ‘flip’ to social housing because the private rental market is incredibly expensive. But even people with money to spend on a house can’t afford to buy here so it’s extremely challenging,” Corren said.

She has also identified an underlying level of anxiety and a lack of early mental health interventions.

“There are people needing support who may never have needed it before. Some have already spoken to us about specific concerns they have about Waipā children and the additional pressures some children are now under because of stressed circumstances.”

Council’s group manager strategy and community services Debbie Lascelles said there was now a clear conduit between the community sector and Council.

redeployed to Ōtorohanga where it will provide a more modern ambulance for frontline staff. The moniker, Bernie’s Taxi, will in turn be handed on to the new vehicle.

“Bernie and Margaret maintain an exemplary relationship with St John Cambridge, attending meetings and functions as part of the St John family,” Jeanette said. “They remain outstanding ambassadors for St John amongst the retirement village and wider community, and the community of Cambridge. We are humbled by their support of St John.”

Bernie explained how it started – with an unexpected windfall and a suggestion that an ambulance might be a good way to use it.

“As we see it, charity begins at home, and over time, the vehicles have been well used. I have used Margaret Pearson with ambulance officer Irene Straker the ambulance three times myself … it got me to the during the dedication ceremony held for the new ambulance donated by Margaret and her husband Bernie. hospital in time. Without it, I would not be here.”

Cambridge Borough Council, the Waipā District Council and Cambridge Community Board, the Cambridge Community Health and Community Trust, Cambridge Community House and the Cambridge Arts Council. She also gave 25 years voluntary service to Save The Children.

Those with ideas on who the 2020 Cambridge News Person of the Year should be are asked to email Viv Posselt at viv@goodlocal.nz, or drop it off to our offices at 55 Victoria Street, with the nominee’s full name and contact details, and information on why they deserve consideration for the award.

Get it in to us before 5pm on Thursday December 3. We will name the award recipient in our last issue of the year, on December 17.

Challenges for community advisors

Corren Ngerengere (left) and Gina Scott have begun new roles as community advisors for Waipā District Council.

“Gina and Corren’s immediate job is to get out into the community, see what’s needed and then create a measurable action plan based on that assessment.

Economically Waipā is holding its own but the next 12-24 months are very uncertain and there will be tough times ahead for plenty of our people.”

“We are navigators of sorts and on behalf of our community, we have a big and important task ahead,” Gina said.

1,1,1 = three vehicles for St John

Cambridge couple Margaret and Bernie Pearson have donated a third vehicle to St John.

The handover late last month was welcomed by St John Central Region fundraising and marketing manager Jeanette Horan, who said: “We are incredibly grateful to the continued generosity of Bernie and Margaret Pearson who over the years have donated not one, but three vehicles to St John.”

The couple view that generosity as ‘simply giving back’. Their tally to date includes a first ambulance donated in 2017, a car donated in 2018 to take Cambridge residents to medical appointments in Hamilton, and now the second ambulance.

Jeanette said the first ambulance, donated in 2017 and fondly referred to as ‘Bernie’s Taxi’, is being

Dairy keeps Creatively cultural workshops coming to museum in December Waipā running

By Viv Posselt

A series of workshops running at Te Awamutu Museum in the lead-up to Christmas are aimed at offering people ideas around festive crafts based in Māori culture and contemporary art.

Toi Oriwa Creative public programmes are planned for December 16, 21, 22 and 23, led by Putaruru-based artist Oriwa Morgan-Ward.

They are aimed at all ages, and the resources needed are covered by workshop costs, but booking is essential as the numbers able to attend each workshop will be limited.

Oriwa has an arts degree and a diploma in adult education. She regularly leads community and holiday workshops at the museum; a recent series she fronted in July focused on Matariki.

This time, she is aiming at presenting fun-filled creative activities for all ages.

The December 16 workshop, which has two sessions and is entitled Tī Rākau, will see participants design their own tī rākau and learn the waiata in Te Reo Māori along with actions to the game. The second workshop offers two sessions

Activities Stories

on December 21; participants will be given their own hine or tama paper dolls through which to learn about traditional Maori clothing and accessories.

Two sessions on December 22 will focus on poi making.

Participants will make a set of poi, then learn the waiata in Te Reo Māori and accompanying actions.

The final two sessions, on December 23, will teach basic Māori design inspired by kōwhaiwhai and whakairo carving patterns. Participants

will then make a badge using those designs.

Each of the workshop days runs the first session from 10am to 12 noon, and the second from 12.30pm to 2.30pm. Three of the workshops cost $5 per person per session, while the workshops on December 21 are free.

The workshops are design to use creative ways to encourage the understanding of Māori art, promote Te Reo Māori and support learning through creative activity.

Artist Oriwa Morgan-Ward will present a series of workshops at Te Awamutu Museum in December.

More information, and bookings, are through the Te Awamutu Museum.

Recycling rubbish costs council

The cost to remove medical, human and vet waste from Waipā’s recycling base in Te Awamutu has mounted to more than $30,000 since May. The range in items which go nowhere near meeting the “recycling” criteria have frustrated council staff in recent months.

Waipā District Council’s transportation manager Bryan Hudson said the centre has been stopped for cleaning 15 times as a result of contaminated material entered the system.

In some cases – such as when honey went through the system, the recycling process was stopped so that belts could be washed down.

It also results in the entire load of recycling being condemned as contaminated and taken to a landfill, he said.

“We have staff there who can’t work while

the centre is being cleaned and we also lose revenue from the good recycling that is deemed contaminated and has to go to landfill.”

The dumped medical waste has included medical liquid bags, some containing blood, tubes, needles and adult diapers and used urinary catheters. Veterinary waste had also been thrown in with recycling.

Efforts have been made to identify the source of the inappropriate materials and about 500 bin inspections have been carried out across the district.

Hudson said doctors’ surgeries and pharmacies had also been contacted and asked for their assistance in telling patients and customers not to put these materials in the recycling. He believed the farm waste may have come from a lifestyle block.

Waipā’s economy is holding its own,despite the ongoing impacts of Covid-19.

The latest report from Wellington-based economists, Infometrics, says economic activity in the distict has managed to “bounce back” in the September 2020 quarter.

Waipā’s gross domestic product (GDP) was only 0.6 per cent lower than it was a year ago. This was much smaller than the 2.1 per cent contraction in the Waikato region or the 3.3 per cent contraction nationwide.

The district’s consumer spending also bucked the trend. While spending was 0.6 per cent down in the Waikato and 2.7 per cent down across the country, Waipā spending went up 0.7 per cent. Residential building activity was up 4.4 per cent compared to 3.5 per cent nationally.

Waipā’s unemployment rate remained low at 2.7 per cent compared to 4 per cent across the Waikato. Local car registrations were sitting 0.7 per cent up in contrast to the 11.5 per cent drop in the Waikato and a massive 22.9 per cent drop in car registrations nationally.

Infometrics said “dairy in the Waipā district is helping to keep the economy going”, noting the revised farm gate price was above previous expectations.

Waipā District Council chief executive Garry Dyet noted non-residential consents in the district were down, but said it was largely a timing issue.

“We still have plenty of commercial activity in the district with two medical centres going in at Cambridge, new retirement villages planned for both Cambridge and Te Awamutu and a new police station planned for Cambridge,” he said.

“We’ve also had some retail refurbishments plus two great new homeware stores popping up in Te Awamutu.

So there continues to be quite a lot happening with ongoing growth across the whole district.

Waipā District Council commissions the Informetrics report each quarter to help with planning and setting work programmes.

Music wins over adversity

Karapiro Community

By Steph Bell-Jenkins

PLAY GROUP

It’s been a tough year for Leamington School’s choir and orchestra, with practices disrupted and performances cancelled because of the pandemic – but students have found other ways to celebrate their music.

“2020 has not been kind to many people and for our choir and orchestra it was no different,” said Petra Gilbert, the teacher in charge of both groups.

“Firstly we had lockdown, followed by Covid alert levels, which meant that playing instruments was out for over half the year. Our choir was denied an opportunity to sing at the Kids 4 Kids concert in Hamilton in September because it was cancelled, and the orchestra has been unable to visit rest homes to perform.

“However we were not going to let Covid have the last say.”

The choir gave a special performance for family and friends at the school hall last Thursday and on Friday morning the orchestra walked from school into Shakespeare St to give a festive performance outside the medical centre.

“I am immensely proud of every child – they are all superstars who sang and played brilliantly,” Petra said.

Market day Saturday Rocketspark tool

The Cambridge Athletic and Harrier Club will hold an inaugural fundraising Christmas Market on Saturday.

The market will be at the club’s premises on the corner of Vogel St/ Hamilton Rd from 9am to 1pm, and will include

bouncy castles, athletic activities, a coffee cart, a fundraising sausage sizzle and food vendors, and almost 80 registered stalls.

Violence Free Waipā will be there promoting the White Ribbon anti-violence message with a stall and a ‘Walk in Her Shoes’ 400m

walk at 10.30am.

All funds raised through the Christmas market will be channelled back into the club’s activities, from grassroots level to master’s athletics.

In the event of wet weather, the reserve market day will be Sunday.

Waipā’s velodrome is looking for a new naming rights sponsor.

The velodrome has been known as the Avantidrome since before it was opened in 2014 by Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge.

Velodrome General Manager Scott Gemmill says it was signalled and anticipated that the Avanti sponsorship would come to an end after the brand’s change of owners.

“We are fortunate that the sponsorship arrangement we have with Sheppard Cycles, who manage the Avanti brand, means that funding will stay in place through until 2022. We are hopeful that we will secure a new naming sponsor well before that time, and we are already exploring opportunities,” he says.

Sheppard Cycles NZ Country Manager, Darin

Te Paa, says the decision not to carry on with the Avantidrome name came as a result of a refocused business strategy for Sheppard Cycles through new international owners Scotts Sports in Switzerland.

“We have valued our relationship with the velodrome over the past several years and even though we will no longer have naming right we will

continue to be associated with the velodrome,” he says.

The velodrome’s Home of Cycling Charitable Trust Chair, Graeme Maw, says the organisation is well placed for the future.

“We’ve become highly successful as both a community space and a high performance venue and have established a very stable financial base,” he said.

New Zealand website builder Rocketspark has launched what it believes is the first Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool on the market that creates text content for its website users, helping get their businesses in front of more customers online.

Cambridge-based Rocketspark, with funding from Callaghan Innovation, has developed a tool which enhances customers’ websites, by automatically generating content to improve their website’s search engine rankings.

The search engine optimisation (SEO) tool, called Flint, can suggest description tags, which give a brief website description when viewers do an internet search, title tags, which identify individual web pages, and it can even generate paragraphs of content for your website that are rich in key words.

Rocketspark Chief Executive Grant Johnson says Flint is a ground-breaking innovation and gives Rocketspark an edge in the tech industry.

“As far as we can tell there aren’t any other website builders offering this content generation as an SEO package. There are AIpowered SEO tools which provide audits and recommendations, but nothing that actually generates the title and description tag words for you, or creates basic text content for your page,” he says.

Grant says Flint was created because Rocketspark found small business owners struggled to understand SEO, or how to make it work for their businesses’ websites.

“If people cannot find you online, then your website may as well be invisible. And if this is the case, it’s likely your site is not optimised with the right keywords,” says Grant.

“We would tell people how to do it but they still weren’t getting it so we decided the easiest way to make it simple for our customers was to automate it.”

With help from four Waikato University software engineering students, they spent hundreds of hours training a computer model to interpret text from different industries that Rocketspark provides websites for.

Flint can now recognise the type of text which might appear on a certain industry’s website and then make suggestions for text including a website’s description, tag words and even simple paragraphs of text rich in key words.

Grant says Flint is still basic in its delivery and is still learning, but it provides small business owners with a starting point to build from.

“Like anything using AI it is not perfect, it’s created by a machine and it’s an algorithm that’s driving it, but it’s a starting point to get people thinking. It might generate one sentence and then people can continue building the keyword rich content for their web pages from there.”

Flint was built over two consecutive summers between 2018 and 2020 after Rocketspark received Callaghan Innovation funding in the form of student experience grants. The grants funded four University of Waikato students to work with Rocketspark to develop the AI behind Flint, giving them experience in bringing AI and machine learning to market.

One of the students, Rhys Compton, has recently been awarded a Fulbright Scholarship to complete a masters in AI and machine learning at New York University.

Free look at Sanctuary Mountain

A ‘locals go free’ day is being held at Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari on Saturday December 5.

Waikato residents presenting a rates or utility bill on the day as proof of address will have free access to the visitor centre from 10am to 2pm. While entry to the southern enclosure is free for the day as well, a koha/donation would be appreciated.

Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari marketing manager Jessica Meade said the decision to hold another ‘locals go free’ Christmas on the Maunga comes on the back of the success of a similar event held last year, and in acknowledgment of how difficult 2020 has been.

“It is a thank you to the Waikato community. It has been a challenging year for everyone, and we want to thank the community for their continued support by dishing out some Christmas cheer,” she said. “We are waiving our facility fee to the southern enclosure for the Waikato community so they can reconnect with nature while spending quality time with friends and whanau.”

Jessica said there will be spot prizes, music and games

SPECIAL INTRODUCTORY DENTAL OFFER

on the day. There will also be specials on guided tours and annual memberships as well as brief information sessions with volunteer guides.

The visitor centre is at 99 Tari Rd, Pukeatua, and locals are reminded to bring along proof of address.

Lions pump for comfort

By Viv Posselt

The Cambridge Lions Club’s donation to the community’s skatepark and adjacent pump track has been formalised with the presentation of funds the club has raised.

Lions Club president Jan Howie presented a cheque for $24,000 to Waipā District deputy mayor Liz Stolwyk at the skate park last week.

About $20,000 of that will go towards the installation of additional seating, shelter and another picnic table at the skate park and pump track grounds for use by those accompanying children to the facility, and the rest will fund seating at the Camellia Track above Lake Te Koo Utu. Liz described the

Lions club’s generosity in supporting numerous projects as ‘outstanding’. “I know you are a strong club, and part of what makes a strong community is strong service clubs. You have strength in numbers and strength in heart… it says a lot about our town.”

She said the skate park and pump track, the latter which opened about a year ago, were already well used, but the additional seating and shelter would make it more welcoming for parents and grandparents while watching the younger skaters enjoy themselves.

Matt Johnston, the council’s parks operations team leader, said it was expected the work would be completed by late January/ early February.

Why use a Mortgage Broker?

By Gavin Lynch – Yes Mortgages In the present loan market, most lenders are changing their criteria in regards to what, how much and to whom they lend. This makes it even more important to use a mortgage broker so you know you are getting the right mortgage and right lender to suit your needs.

I believe every client has a unique borrowing scenario and time needs to be taken with the client to understand and analyse this, so a correct lending plan and structure can be put in place to achieve goals.

In this column, I want to explain briefly the role of the mortgage broker and what I can offer.

The key role of the mortgage broker is to make the whole loan process easier for you, the client. This is possible because: I can look at all the lending options.

I deal with more than 25 different lenders and work to find the best lender to suit your unique situation.

• I can do all the ‘leg work’ with the lenders.

• This saves you time and avoids pitfalls in getting a loan approved.

• I can negotiate rates, fees, and legal contributions with certain lenders to obtain the best deal for the client.

• I can meet at a convenient time and place for the client.

• This can be in the home or workplace and after hours if need be.

• I can advise on the best loan structure to suit the client’s need.

And best of all using a broker is a free service in most cases. Now that has to be worth thinking about!

If your looking for a mortgage, please give me a call on 823 4531 or 021 783 266 and I can help you though the whole process. gavin@yesmortgages.co.nz

Mobility scheme pushed

Waipā residents with a condition that makes travel tricky are being encouraged to register for a scheme to help make getting out easier and cheaper.

Total Mobility is a national door-to-door transport scheme involving disability agencies, taxi companies, other transport providers and local government.

Residents in Cambridge, Te Awamutu, Ōhaupō and Pirongia may be eligible for subsidised door-todoor transport with Total Mobility providers.

Waipā District Council and Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency will cover half the fare, up to $12.50 per trip, with the user paying the remainder.

Since launching in May 2019, the service has provided more than 4300 trips to Waipā residents.

Council’s transportation manager Bryan Hudson said Total Mobility helps people who have conditions that limit their ability to get around on their own.

“By supporting our residents with subsidised trips, we’re ensuring people with mobility challenges can meet their daily needs in a safe and dignified manner.”

To register your interest for the scheme, take the survey at www.waipadc.govt.nz/tm or phone 0800 924 723.

Once a Waipā resident has registered their interest, they will be contacted to arrange an eligibility assessment. Residents who register their interest before Wednesday 16 December can receive a free eligibility assessment.

Total Mobility is administered by Waikato Regional Council, with support from Waipā District Council.

Cycleways unveiled

Cambridge is set to get its first dual cycleway next year, marking the start of a move to transform the town into a hub for walking and cycling.

The 2.8km cycleway, on Hamilton Road, will also be the first of its kind in Waipā. Once complete, it will stretch from the Victoria Street roundabout to the Avantidrome on Hanlin Road.

Waipā District Council service delivery group manager Dawn Inglis said the Hamilton Road Cycleway was one of a number of projects in the pipeline to improve footpaths, cycleways and links to bus stops.

“This is a space Council is really focusing on at the moment, not just in Cambridge but across the district to prepare our towns for the major growth forecast in the coming years.

“Hamilton Road has been selected for this particular project due to two growth cells scheduled for development in the west of Cambridge. Once complete, these will become two of our biggest neighbourhoods and will include a primary school and neighbourhood centre.

“This cycleway will mean those residents can easily get in to town by bike or on foot rather than having to jump in a car, as well as cater for current residents. It’ll also connect with a number of other cycleways which are outlined in future plans.”

Construction of the cycleway will be carried out in three stages – the first from the roundabout to the town belt west of Vogel

Hall Street could become a cul-de-sac under the news plan.

Street starting in April 2021. It is expected to take around four months to complete.

As part of the project, Council is also considering changing both sides of Grey Street and the south side of Hall Street into cul-de-sacs where they meet Hamilton Road. However, the decision is pending public feedback.

“We are currently consulting with residents who live on these streets or nearby to make sure there is support for these changes before we include them in any plans.

“The cul-de-sacs have been proposed to reduce the number of conflict points with the new cycleway which will make it much safer and easier to use, and to slow

down traffic speeds on Grey Street giving us the opportunity transform it into a cyclefriendly street.”

Inglis said traffic volumes on Hall and Grey streets were quite low so the suggested changes would not create excessive congestion on adjacent streets.

“In fact, we are hoping that by providing a fantastic cycleway, more residents will get out and about on their bikes and we will actually see fewer cars out on our roads.”

The plans for the project also include provision to upgrade the Hamilton Road pedestrian crossing and add an additional crossing point on Victoria Street.

FAITH IN WAIPĀ

THE AGE OF REASON

Mind your manners…

The haves and have nots

By Peter Carr

By Murray Smith, Senior Leader, Bridges Church

Some time ago our family hosted some overseas exchange students on a home-stay basis.

They were pleasant enough kids, but our lasting impression of this bunch was their sense of entitlement. We went out of our way to show courtesy and to indulge their wishes and preferences - all in the name of local Kiwi hospitality. This was particularly around the food area. We’re a family who try to host in ways that please guests. We also understand how cultural differences influence ways that gratitude is expressed (or not!).

What took us aback continually was how the majority among this group responded to questions if they’d like to eat certain foods or if they’d like to go somewhere.

To get a response of “Sure,” or at best, “Sure, that’d be good,” and at worst “I don’t eat that”, was entirely unexpected.

Trivial, I know, but saying ‘please’ and ‘thankyou’ goes a long way. “Big doors swing on little hinges,” the saying goes and parents who neglect diligently encouraging their kids to be thankful and to express gratitude do them a major dis-service.

The thing is, a grateful person will be a more whole, more aware and happier human being possessing a thankful disposition. Gratitude leans towards being positive in outlook whereas a spirit of complaint and ingratitude drifts incessantly to seeing fault and deficit.

I like lyrics to an old poem that say, “two men looked through prison bars: one saw mud, the other saw stars.”

It’s all about perspective. We are going to see the ‘cup’ in life as either half full - or half empty. And thankfulness determines how we perceive our situation, effecting

so much about our wellbeing. Even if life’s circumstances are trying, finding things that we can be thankful for, will lift our joy… a characteristic that never coexists alongside grumbling and discontent.

We live in a very entitled generation.

Travelling in third world settings where happiness and contentment cannot be found through abundance of food, clothing and possessions, deeply challenges a recalibration of your values in life…and what constitutes success too. It is all relative.

Just owning a car places you in the top 5% of world wealth holders according to a world-wide development organisation that mobilises people against poverty.

But are we thankful for our privilege?

Ingratitude is ugly.

At home we pause to thank God for the food we eat at mealtimes. One of our kids was visiting a family where that wasn’t part of their practice. She meekly asked her hosts if they were going to thank God for a meal to which the response was “Why thank God, Mum made it!”

Such oblivion is prevalent pointing to a deeper thoughtless lack of appreciation of where good things come from. People quickly attribute a tragedy to ‘an act of God’but aren’t so quick offering thanks to Him for some blessing enjoyed.

The One supplying life, breath and everything that sustains us deserves thanks.

“In Him we live and move and have our being.”

During the second half of my perambulation around Northland last week I had the opportunity to witness not only magnificent vistas (both land and sea) but also to reflect upon the socio-economic bifurcation that besets our lovely country.

Staying with the tourist aspects first. I defy anyone in the world to produce simple but dramatic vistas as one can witness when on the east coast of Northland. Bay after beautiful bay went past the campervan window. With so many beaches a sensible tourist drive in this area could well reap plentiful tourism awards. Interestingly Helena Bay – yet another geographic jewel in the Northland crown – hosts the overseas holiday home of a Russian billionaire. It also has large, well-kept grounds and its own wharf. The owner, displaying good resident traits, complied fully with the local Council with regard to ecological requirements when building his sprawling residence.

Now comes the rub. On passing the splendid entrance there was ample evidence of a tidy, well-kept vista which one must assume is in keeping with the hidden major part of the grounds. It appears that the owner is applying for increased water rights to assist with maintaining the splendour and support of nature but that some locals are not keen for him to obtain that support for his gardens.

Who is right? It’s an interesting conundrum and one which, when multiplied, shows the quandary that government has when permitting overseas ownership of large tracts of New Zealand’s natural land areas.

Further along the same very windy, but well-surfaced, road we frequently came across what may be termed as poorly

maintained shacks that were clearly doubling as permanent residences.

They immediately indicated the extremes of the problems abounding in Northland.

Driveways are not sealed, and the number of very old cars is evidence of the financial state of the owners.

I raise this - not in any way to be disparaging – far from it. But one starts to witness that all the WINZ payments in the world are never going to balance the books. What is clearly needed is good and continuous employment where a worthwhile wage is the very necessary basis for anyone. Not only so people can be proud of what they are attempting to achieve but also so it gives people a self-esteem that goes towards more peaceable family lifestyles and a marked reduction in male-dominated family violence.

Over on the other coast, towards the west, a coffee stop in a small country town showed a predominance of people who struggle to meet the requirements of satisfying residence. Retailers clearly get support commensurate with the amount and frequency of the credit they permit. Shops which are shuttered may not have been open for some time. Teenage youths, who should be at school, are roaming the streets mindlessly. The government of the day (any government) has a long way to go to balance the ‘living’ books and the upwards spiral in house prices will only drive deprived people deeper within their shell.

NO PLANET B

Don’t believe what you read

By Peter Matthews

It must be the internet - so much information so easily.

I don’t remember being as suspicious of news sources in the days before the internet as I am now.

It doesn’t seem to matter what your view is on any given subject; if you search it on the internet you can find plenty of material to back it up.

Just out of curiosity, I did a search using the words ‘climate hoax’ and was surprised to find that there is nothing to worry about.

Forests are regenerating faster than ever before, polar bears are thriving and their numbers rebounding, and CO2 emissions are, in fact, not a problem at all. It’s all just the natural rhythms of the earth. This latest bout of climate change (which happens all the time) is due almost entirely to the changing magnetosphere of the earth, and the resultant cloud formations.

No problem there then.

And, as is usually the way with factually accurate and responsible websites, this one was fairly bristling with links which alerted me to the conspiracies and subterfuge threatening to undermine society as we know it.

How could I not have known about these things?

How could I not have known that the pandemic is a hoax foisted upon the world by the makers of Covid tests and personal protective equipment?

It’s all to do with which rabbit hole you go down.

Every time you visit a web page your movements are tracked by the search engines, social media companies, and internet robots (I’ve read about it - it must be true) and that information is used to

present you with further viewing options which are deemed to be suitable for you.

In other words you are very likely to have your views reinforced if you simply follow your nose in cyber space.

This is how misinformation spreads and gains traction.

Obviously, people who take the trouble to pick up and read a newspaper are less likely to be led up the garden path, so you are safe.

But spare a thought for the unthinking credulous multitudes who trawl the visually lurid and socially shady corridors of the internet becoming more convinced with every mouse click of the veracity in their unquestioning minds of the gospel truths they lap up from every screen.

Sorry, was that a bit much? I don’t know, surely this can be the only way that just under half of all Americans have reached the conclusion that Donald Trump is an appropriate leader for the United States. And while I am on the subject of Trump, must he not be held to account if he, as the president, supposedly responsible for looking after the country, goes and plays golf while one citizen of America dies of Covid every minute?

He may yet get the chance to fix everything though, ONLY since I have learned from PLANET (my part of) the internet that the election, which he won by the way, is far from over.

Rimmington calls for common plan Waikato Regional Council chairman Russ Rimmington will tomorrow call on fellow regional councils to agree to work as a collective with primary sector groups developing farm environment plans.

He is advocating a single user-friendly template for New Zealand farmers to use if they want to make a start on measuring and managing their impact on water quality, emissions and biodiversity.

He told the News it made sense for Regional Councils to be on the same page and support landowners to achieve good financial, social and environmental outcomes for New Zealand.

Regional council chairs gather in Wellington tomorrow for one of six such meetings they hold a year.

Rimmington, who has been a dairy farmer for four decades, welcomed a statement last month from Fonterra that production was now at its optimum level.

"I think farmers should be applauded as conservationists," he said.

"Under the Key Government we encouraged proliferation.

White gold from millions of cows on land that could not handle it."

The national herd was last count was 2019 was 4.946 million, its lowest level since 2014.

"We have got to show that farming is making progress on improving environmental impacts because the bulk of New Zealand's income is never going to come from tourism or international students," Rimmington said.

"By 2025 all farms must have a plan and I advocate we standardise it New Zealand wide and the Waikato Regional Council takes the lead."

The farm plans will be based on industry agreed good farming practice principles that primary industries, central

government and the regional sector agreed to help improve water quality.

The government has agreed with the primary sector that a farm level measurement, management and pricing regime needs to be in place in 2023, with obligations applying from 2025 . Farm environment plans allow farmers to tailor their risks and mitigations to their land and farm business, taking into account financial constraints, soil type, slope, microclimate, and so on.

He suggested it would be preferable if all regions could agree on a common farm environment plan template.

He said environmentallyfocussed farming would increase the product value on the international market.

Three in a row for Gill

Up and over

Eleven-year-old Harry Yuill Proctor puts everything into his high jump at Leamington School’s annual athletics day, held at Athletic Park last week. The Cambridge inter-school athletics event for primary students is scheduled for tomorrow.

INVESTING IN OUR LEADERS OF TOMORROW Rotary International Youth Exchange Programme This Rotary Youth Exhange Programme is a wonderful learning opportunity for Cambridge students to experience different cultures and develop their independence.

Oscar came to us from Sweden for 12 months and Imogen spent 12 months in Switzerland.

Relationships are made that last a lifetime.

Former Cambridge Golf Club member James Gill has picked up another international golf title in Hong Kong despite spending most of 2020 in lockdown due to Covid-19 regulations.

Gill, 35, last week won The Jockey Club Kau Sai Chau International Amateur Open, for the third consecutive year, from highly-ranked Hong Kong golf team members Isaac Lam and Issac Lee to add to the Hong Kong Amateur title he won in February.

The result sees Gill move back into the Royal and Ancient World Amateur golf rankings after a 12-year absence and saw him added to the Hong Kong national squad. He previously played international amateur golf for New Zealand at two Eisenhower Trophy world championships in 2006 and 2008 before turning professional in 2009.

A career-ending back injury thwarted his attempts to play on the European Tour. He returned to the amateur game in 2012 while

working for HSBC Bank in Auckland and became three-time club champion at Royal Auckland and Grange Golf Club. Two years ago he moved to Hong Kong as an HSBC global relationship manager. He is now senior vice president - Sales, Global

Trade and Receivables Finance with one of the world’s leading international banks.

Gill has invitations to compete in professional tournaments in Hong Kong and Japan as a result of his Hong Kong results.

Yearbury a chance for title Breeders’ Stakes recognised

By Andy McGechan

It’s the final throw of the dice for trophy hopefuls this weekend as the 2020 Dirt Guide Cross-country Series roars to a conclusion south of Tokoroa.

The venue at Ohakuri, just off State Highway 1, about halfway between Tokoroa and Taupo, provides something special for riders from both ends of the talent or competitiveness spectrum and a traditional Sunday trail ride will give riders who crave more time in the saddle a second crack at the forest trails.

There have been two different outright winners at the two rounds so far – Manawatu’s Paul Whibley the winner of round one and Waikato’s Dylan Yearbury the top man at round two – but any one of perhaps half a dozen riders are capable of snatching away the main trophy on Saturday.

Helensville’s Tom Buxton, Whanganui’s Seth Reardon, Taupo’s Wil Yeoman, Rotorua trio Bradley Lauder, Callum Dudson and Ethan Harris, Wellington’s Jake Whitaker, Oparau’s James Scott, Thames rider Natasha Cairns and Tokoroa’s Jake Wightman, to name just a few, could be expected to threaten for the win on Saturday.

Dirt Guide Series promoter Sean Clarke, of Tokoroa, said there had been quite a lot of logging in the “so we’ve had to go in and re-establish a lot of the tracks”, which means

there will be plenty of fresh trails to ride.

In addition to the expert grade riders, the series caters also for junior riders and for intermediates, veterans and women as well.

A group of Waikato trotting enthusiasts have been rewarded for their innovation, with the race they established this year, the Waikato Trotting Breeders’ Stakes (2700m), given Group Three status.

The race was the brainchild of Cambridge Raceway board member Ken McGrath and his partner Melanie Barker, who were supported in the new venture by a group of local trotting enthusiasts.

“Melanie, my partner, and I breed mainly trotters. We love the trotting gait,” McGrath said.

He said trotting horse has been treated like the poor cousin of the pacer and there had been a lack of good races for them, particularly the mares.

“We have put a lot of money into sponsorship over the years and we thought let’s take some of that sponsorship money and create a new race.

“It is something that was

indicated to us when we got it off the ground that Harness Racing New Zealand would look at making it a Group race - we are thankful to Harness Racing New Zealand for giving us the Group Three status.”

Funding for the $30,000 race remained the responsibility of the Waikato group.

“With all the changes and funding issues happening they (HRNZ) decided that it wasn’t in the budget,” he said.

“We decided that we wanted it to still go ahead and we have funded it again.

“It will be hugely beneficial to the industry and especially

the breeders.”

McGrath contested the race as the breeder-owner of the fourth-placed Molly Bones and he is hoping she can go three better on Waitangi Day next year where Cambridge Raceway will host the flagship event of the Cambridge Horse Festival.

“Molly Bones is back in work now and will be targeted towards the race,” McGrath said.

“She is lightly raced and has got a huge amount of ability. She ran a good second in a Group race at Auckland last season and I am looking forward to the future with her.” –

Karāpiro hosted a country schools sports day last week for the first time, as 50 youngsters from the school as well as Horahora and Te Miro enjoyed a day out. Pictured at the start of one of the races were from left, Nicola Trump, Emma Lanitieri-Benitez, Aylah Roberts, Te Miro School principal Michaela Phillips, Emmy Trump, Madi Dallinger, Neva Bartz, Ronja Epp and Cordelia Zawideh. Principals Tina-Maree Thatcher (Karāpiro), Michaela Phillips (Te Miro) and Joanne Synge (Horahora) collaborated to bring together a fun day for the students where they were able to share their modified junior athletics skills in a non-competitive environment. Students ran sprints, tested their skills with vortex throws, bean bags throws (discus) and long jump as well as bean bags and wheelbarrow races.Next year the schools plan to collaborate on running trips together for students as well as other learning opportunities.

TIME FOR A PRUNE

A monthly gardening column, courtesy of Amber Garden Centre December Get Gardening

December is the start of summer officially and we look forward to Christmas and perhaps holidays. More time to spend in the garden.

Vegetables Now is the time to plant any vegetables you like. Replant salad greens as earlier crops are used.

Try lettuce in areas with afternoon shade to stop them bolting in the heat of summer sun.

Dig new potatoes for Christmas and replant with final main crops.

Plant more carrots and parsnips to last into the winter.

If you are going away on holiday postpone planting until you return unless you have someone to care for your garden.

Ask a friend or neighbour to water your garden once or twice a week as required.

If that’s not an option, move pots into a cooler part of the garden. Indoor plants can be put into the bath or tub on a wet towel, minus their saucer.

Pick beans, peas, courgette, tomatoes regularly to avoid them getting too big, it also encourages plants to produce more flowers fruiting for longer.

Planting seedlings in the evening and also watering in the evening gives plants time to recover out of the sun.

Mulch Apply mulch to bare soil to conserve moisture following rain.

Small Fruit Grapes, raspberries, strawberries, cover with bird netting secure around the base so birds can’t find a way inside.

Prune back spring growth of camellias and other shrubs to help shape plants.

Flowers and Perennials Deadhead flowering plants to encourage more flowers, and liquid feed.

Zinnias, sunflowers, portulacca, petunias and salvia all enjoy warm sunny days. Lavender flowers summer long.

Hope you all have a happy Christmas and happy gardening.

Party pleasers

It’s party season — time for some festive frolics with friends and family and providing those essential finger foods does not have to be stressful or time consuming. Just plan ahead and remember it’s important to provide some choices that are dairy, meat and gluten-free.

Many party nibbles can be prepared ahead. For example, chicken liver pâté can be prepared up to three months in advance, frozen in small bowls then thawed in the fridge for 6 hours. It can be made with an olive-oil based spread to make it dairy and gluten-free. And there is a great choice of GF crackers to serve it on.

Canned beans such as kidney and cannellini also make great spreads or dips: drain and purée, then combine with chopped fresh herbs, lemon juice, crushed garlic and freshly ground black pepper. Or for a zany dip, mix generous amounts of piccalilli into sour cream.

Although dips are great served as ‘dips’ they can also double as toppers for crostini (use generous amounts) or as fillers for hot mini vol-au-vent cases. Add some diced crisp vegetables or salami for interest.

And you can augment your home-made goodies with some store-bought treats. I’ve fallen for Barkers glutenfree and vegan Artichoke Antipasto Spread — excellent dolloped on fresh ciabatta.

INDIAN EGGPLANT DIP A couple of my friends taste-tested this dip and immediately asked for the recipe. I hope you enjoy it too.

If you don’t want to serve the dip in the shell, just peel the eggplants and use all the flesh. Add a little canola oil to make it more spreadable if you wish.

600g or 2 x 300g eggplants 1 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons canola oil 1 each: small onion, red capsicum, carrot, diced 2 cloves garlic, crushed 2 tablespoons each: tomato paste, cider vinegar 4 tablespoons water 1-2 tablespoons curry powder freshly ground black pepper to taste With a sharp knife cut a slice off the side of the eggplant.

Using a spoon or sharp knife remove the pulp from the inside leaving a 1cm-thick shell. Place aside.

Chop the flesh finely and sprinkle with salt. Stand for 30 minutes, then drain.

Heat the oil in a frying pan and sauté the chopped eggplant, onion, capsicum, carrot and garlic, until tender.

Stir in the tomato paste, vinegar, water, curry powder and pepper. Simmer for about 5 minutes until well combined.

Purée in a food processor or blender until smooth. May be refrigerated for up to 24 hours. To serve, spoon the mixture back into the shell. Serve with potato chippies or crisp vegetable sticks as dippers. Makes about 1 1/2 cups.

PANCETTA & CAPSICUM NIBBLES 1 ciabatta or poppy seed loaf butter or table spread 1 cup smooth sundried tomato antipasto or tomato-based chutney 1 small onion, diced 50g pancetta, chopped 2 large gherkins, diced 1/2 each: large red, yellow, capsicum, diced 1 cup grated tasty cheddar cheese Preheat the oven to 160°C. Slice the bread then cut each slice into four pieces. Butter each piece and spread with antipasto or chutney.

Top with the onion, pancetta, gherkin and capsicums then

sprinkle with a little cheese. Bake for 20-30 minutes on an oven tray, or until crispy. Makes approximately 40.

BACON, APRICOT & CHEESY STICKS Prepare ahead and serve at room temperature or warm through in the microwave.

1/2 cup orange juice 12 plump dried apricots 75g camembert 4-5 rashers streaky bacon 1/2 cup spicy tomato relish or chutney Place the orange juice and apricots in a bowl.

Cover and microwave for about 2 minutes, until softened.

Stand, until cool. Cut the camembert into 1cm cubes.

Brush each bacon rasher with relish.

Cut into pieces long enough to wrap around each drained apricot together with a cube of camembert. Secure with small skewers.

Grill for 2-3 minutes, turning once or twice during cooking.

Brush with more relish and serve. Makes 12.

Harvey breaks his duck

Cambridge born trainer Glen Harvey capped a week he will never forget when two-year-old filly Brix upset predictions by taking out the Listed Fasttrack Insurance 2YO Stakes (1100m) at Pukekohe on Saturday.

The son of Cambridge Jockey Club president Bruce Harvey produced one of the feelgood success stories out of the annual NZB Ready To Run Sale on Wednesday when he turned a $5100 outlay into $230,000 through the sale of his Reliable Man colt, purchased as a weanling off New Zealand Bloodstock’s online sales platform gavelhouse.com, to Hong Kong trainer Francis Lui. In his first full season of training in New Zealand following a four-year stint as an assistant trainer in Singapore, Harvey lined up two runners in Saturday’s juvenile feature

with last start winner Miss Ipenema expected to more prominent than her stablemate Brix.

The Sweynesse filly, sporting blinkers for the first time after three previous runs had seen her finish fourth twice as well as losing her rider shortly after jumping away at her second start, upset the offs.

Sam Collett had her travelling sweetly in the trail throughout before angling four wide in the home straight to issue her challenge.

Just as second favourite Quattro Quinta looked like he would stride to victory, Brix swooped with a sharp finishing burst that carried her to a short neck victory with local runner Cool Change charging home along the rail to snatch third from the heavily backed first starter Beldarra.

Collett, who is celebrating her 31st birthday, was taken with the performance.

“Glen is doing a great job with these young horses at an early stage in his training career,” Collett said.

“She was very brave today. She hopped a wee bit awkward but managed to recover from that good gate (2).

“I was searching for a run a little while out and I thought she was going to be unlucky.

When she did get out, she really stuck her head out and had a will to win.”

Harvey was feeling confident leading into the race after the filly came up with her inside barrier draw.

“It is the first time she had drawn a proper gate and then Sam gave her a beautiful ride.

“Funnily enough Sam is one of my oldest

friends, but this is only the second horse she has ridden for me, so that was fantastic we could combine for my first stakes win.

“I’m also thrilled for her owners including Mr Caro who is on course today. He is ninetyone and finds it hard to go to race meetings but he’s here today and he’s now had his first winner.

“He’s got the trophy and it’s an awesome feeling to be able to do that for him.”

Harvey will now send both of his runners for a short break before turning his sights towards the $1m Karaka Million 2YO Classic (1200m) at Ellerslie in January. – NZ Racing Desk
