Rabbits run riot
Hedging their bets – rabbits are ruling the roost at Hautapu. Waikato’s champion rugby club is being overrun by a bunch of bunnies on their home ground. A plague of rabbits digging up the field has the club concerned about health and safety as junior rugby commences. Thousands of rabbits are breeding on the town’s northern boundary on Victoria St West and at Hautapu Rugby Club they have set up homes under a thick hedge. The plague has also been noticed at neighbouring Cambridge High School and at the Cambridge raceway.
But the Waikato Regional Council and Waipā District Council has given the rugby club some bad news about how the pests should be controlled. As it leases the land, it is responsible for controlling pests. That doesn’t come cheap - European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) were foolishly introduced to New Zealand almost 200 years ago – today they are responsible for $50 million a year in lost production – and $25 million is spent controlling them. Kevin Clark has been caretaker at
Hautapu for 20 years and says he’s never seen a rabbit problem as bad. The club has employed a pest control officer to shoot rabbits, and Kevin has also bagged some – but he says the rabbits are quick to take refuge in the hedge. “We spent $3000 on a field to get it ready for the season, but the rabbits eat the fresh growth and dig holes – it’s a concern when we have people playin on it,” he said. When the News visited last week dozens of bunnies were enjoying the morning sun. They ran for cover very quickly – but

evidence of their work in the form of large burrows is clear to see. Cambridge High School business manager Amanda Wright said rabbits had been a “big issue” for the school this year. “The numbers are much higher and they are digging up the fields. They are also leaving a mess on our fields which is not ideal for student sports.” Hautapu Rugby Club leases the land from Waipā District Council, which says the responsibility to maintain the land, which includes pest control, sits with the leasee.

“We understand the club does undertake regular pest control however in this instance, it looks to be a wider problem coming from adjacent landowners with uncontrolled rabbit populations,” Reserves Planner Tofeeq Ahmed, said. Waikato Regional Council Biosecurity officer (pest animals) Chris Monk visited the area in July and five landowners neighbouring the rugby club were sent letters by the council telling them to carry out pest control. He said landowners collectively hired a contractor who shot 1570 rabbits. Another contractor used Magtoxin to treat burrows. He said properties neighbouring the football field were now in long grass – which rabbits do not like, and that may have resulted in more being present on the on the rugby field. The McLean scale determines the level of rabbit control required, and whether enfocrement is needed. Chris Monk said the the rabbits may still be having an impact but the situtation when last checked was below the enforcement
Kevin Clark says the rabbit problem at Hautapu is the worst he has seen.
threshold. “We have no authority to instruct landowners to do control if they are below the threshold but there is nothing to stop a landowner from undertaking control themselves,” he said. Thats’s not good news for the rugby club though. Rabbits can breed throughout the year, but their main breeding season is from late winter to early summer.

A new medical centre has opened in Waipā. Setting up the the gastroenterology and endoscopy centre on the corner of Hamilton and Hall Rd in Cambridge was an operation in itself. The building it works out of was moved from Remuera, Auckland, onto the site and the building it replaced is now in Kaipake. The centre has announced a team of nine specialists who will offer a range of services related to digestive health. The new centre held its opening function on Monday.

THURSDAY DECEMBER 3, 2020
Happy December! We are officially past the start of Summer so hopefully we see more sunshine soon. Christmas may be coming, but there are always grinches about who spoil the celebrations for others. At this time of year, we usually see an increase in thefts of left courier parcels. To ensure no presents go missing from your house, please request signature delivery for any courier packages. If parcels absolutely have to be left, leave instructions nominating a safe place, out of plain sight. Consider having parcels delivered to your workplace rather than home, if that is where you will be during the week, or ask a neighbour to watch out for the courier. Burglary at this time of year is also something to be aware of. With the warmer weather, we often have more windows and ranchsliders open while we are in different parts of the house and garden. Be conscious of the fact that if you are in the back garden, someone could enter your house at the front without you being aware. Keep doors locked and place handbags, wallets and the like out of view. Moving on to transportation matters, works have now started on the installation of a new wire median barrier on State Highway 1, Karapiro. A much lower speed limit is in place as a result. Please be sure to drop your speed as required and be patient with others. Our roadworkers deserve to feel safe in their working environment and their families deserve their workers to arrive home safely at the end of their shift. (Remember, speeding fines and demerit points soon add up and if you are caught doing more than 40km/hr over the posted speed limit, you will also be facing a 28-day licence suspension.) Another thing I want to touch on is driver fatigue. This affects both car and truck drivers, more so in the hectic holiday season. Police recently received a call about an empty logging truck with trailer on board. It was seen repeatedly crossing over the centre line traveling south from Te Awamutu towards Ōtorohanga. One of our road policing team intercepted it and discovered the driver had not completed his log book as was his legal requirement. This meant there was no way to confirm he was still within his maximum allowable driving hours nor whether he had taken his required rests. Certainly, the nature of his driving suggested this wasn’t the case and due to the logbook offence, a driving stand down period was immediately enforced. If you are travelling over summer, plan your trip well with ample time built in for breaks. Be patient and report any dangerous driving you witness to 111 at the time (or inconsiderate driving to *555). If the logging truck had continued to drive in the way it was, there was the potential for a serious or even fatal crash to have occurred. The call to police from the concerned member of public prevented that from happening. Until next week, stay safe. Deb

We must keep helping: Mayor
By Viv Posselt
Despite Waipā being in a better post Covid-19 recovery position than many New Zealand regions, efforts must continue to help those impacted by the social and economic fallout. That was one of several messages delivered by Waipā District Mayor Jim Mylchreest when he spoke to over 120 guests attending the November 25 Friends of Council event at the Sir Don Rowlands Centre. He said continued growth, largely on
the back of the agricultural sector and lower than anticipated unemployment put Waipā in a good position as the country moves to recover from the pandemic. Covid-19 resulted in $30 million of $130 million earmarked in this year’s capital works programme being deferred because of interrupted contracts and additional costs, he said, and there would be a need for extensive long-term planning as a result. Problem areas continue to be housing affordability and
a struggling events sector, with businesses continuing to feel the pressure to keep going while keeping costs down. Positives can be seen in terms of commercial activity and the building industry, he said, with building consents back to pre-Covid-19 levels. Mr Mylchreest said the central government’s decision to ‘go hard and go early’ when the pandemic hit New Zealand had been an advantage to all, “whatever their political persuasion”.
“We were able to do things faster. I take my hat off to the way local government co-operated with other local authorities and iwi to identify people in need and attend to those needs as soon as possible. I think they did extremely well.” He said he hoped that with a Covid-19 vaccine in the wing, New Zealand’s recovery, both economic and social, might be quicker than anticipated. “Yes, we are doing well in some areas, but there are people out there hurting and

we need to continue to look after them.” A lifeboat in a sea of global pandemic See Page 11.
Back in business: awards return The region’s business awards are back on the calendar after taking a 2020 Covid hit. The annual awards which mark Waipā business excellence have been booked in for mid-April 2021. The Cambridge Business Chamber has announced it will host the February 8 launch for the Waipa Networks Business Awards. “Whilst Covid had been incredibly disruptive to our region’s businesses, there will be some wonderful stories of innovation, adaptation and leadership to showcase in the 2021 Awards programme,” the chamber’s
It’s parade time
chief executive Kelly Bouzaid said. We are delighted to confirm Waipa Networks have continued their support as naming rights sponsors. Without them this premier business event would not be possible.” The Awards are open to businesses in Waipā and aim to encourage and support businesses in their quest for success through sustainability, innovation, leadership, and excellence. Categories in the Waipā Networks Business Awards have been revised to reflect business issues and strategies during 2020.
“We have reshaped the awards to reflect the current environment, recognising and celebrating Waipā’s resilience during this difficult time’” Kelly Bouzaid said. “Any business, of any size, located in the Waipā district is eligible to enter. In recognition of the present working environment, we have made entering a very simple process, there are no lengthy forms to complete, and the judges will decide the winners by interviewing the nominees. “There will be a minimal entry charge to enter the business awards
and if businesses need help getting organised please contact us.” Waipa Networks chief Adam Fletcher welcomed the return of the awards “not just to highlight the achievements of those in the local business community, but to acknowledge the solidarity that has, and continues, to help us through these challenging times.” He said he looked forward to the awards and their role in recognising how endurance through leadership and innovation had fuelled success.” For more information www. waipabusinessawards.co.nz
People are urged to book their spot early for Sunday’s annual Christmas Parade in Cambridge. The event has once again been organised by Cambridge i-SITE with Cambridge New World as the main sponsor. Floats will set off from Victoria Square at 2pm, then head off down Victoria St into Duke and Commerce streets, before winding their way back up Victoria St to the square.

Cheer up for Christmas Fund boost for
Community support for this year’s Cambridge Christmas Cheer initiative has delighted organisers, but the December 11 deadline for donations is fast-approaching. The Christmas Cheer initiative is organised annually by the Cambridge Committee of Social Services (CCOSS) to help families in need enjoy a festive Christmas Day. CCOSS chairperson Julie Epps said: “This year has been extraordinarily difficult for many families and businesses due to Covid-19, and we know that Christmas cheer will be gratefully received.” She said the group was ‘blown away’ by the number of donations coming in. Families are nominated by the social agencies; last year, about 80 families were helped with a grocery voucher, festive food and toys. This year, they expect to help over 100 families. Donations of Christmas food and new unwrapped toys can be dropped off at several collection points – the Salvation Army (Mond-Thurs, 10am2pm); Cambridge i-SITE (seven days from 10am-4pm); Cambridge Community House (Mond-Frid, 9am-12 noon and 12.30pm-4pm); Paper Plus Cambridge, the Citizens Advice Bureau and several schools. Donation bins are marked with ‘Cambridge Christmas Cheer’ labels donated by Kaz Graphic Design and Sign Boss. Donations can be also be collected by calling the Salvation Army on 07-827 4723. Gifts should be unwrapped so parents can select toys that suit their children. Suggestions for teens include toiletries, sports gear and small technology items. Those donating money can pay via internet banking to the CCOSS account (03-15680015074-00) or contact Julie Epps on 021 253 8283 (if leaving a message include your contact details). A receipt can be provided Getting into the spirit of Christmas, Paper Plus Cambridge owner Hamish Wright by one of the Christmas Cheer collection bins he has in-store. on request.
Community House
More than $140,000 has been allocated by Waipā District Council to support the community’s recovery from Covid-19. And the majority of it will fund an additional counsellor and social worker at Cambridge Community House. In June Council approved a $795,000 Covid-19 recovery package to support local initiatives to help people in the district recover socially and economically from impacts of the pandemic. The package included the employment of two community advisors plus an increase in event funding and district marketing money. It also included a $400,000 contestable fund – split into two $200,000 funding rounds – to support recovery led by iwi and community organisations. During the first funding round this month, 12 organisations applied for support with $141,354.62 allocated to five recovery projects. Organisations which secured money from the fund were: Ngāti Koroki Kahukura Trust ($20,000) for a 12-month programme of events to help people navigate support and health services, support kaumātua and support food gathering and production; Ngāti Apakura Runanga Trust
($10,000) for a feasibility study around establishing a nursery; Cambridge Committee of Social Services ($1000) to support families on low incomes at Christmas; Citizens Advice Bureau Te Awamutu ($5,314) to temporarily increase hours to cope with a surge in enquiries; Cambridge Community House ($105,040) to support an additional counsellor and social worker. Seven other applications to the fund were declined, with the remaining funding rolled into the next round of allocations in mid2021. Council’s group manager strategy and community services Debbie Lascelles said efforts to support the community were being overseen by a recovery project control group. “We are working in a very structured way so our efforts focus hard on those areas which Council has identified as needing the most attention. We’ve had discussions with the majority of our iwi partners to make sure we are working together in the best possible way.” Council’s two new community advisors were in place, community group funding had been allocated and Council was already working to attract more events and more visitors to the district, she said.

Brookes leads Bridge to somewhere green drive An expert in economic development, strategy and stakeholder relationships will help the Waikato become greener and more healthy. WEL Energy Trust and Waikato Regional Council have appointed Harvey Brookes as executive director of the Waikato Wellbeing Project, a regional initiative to achieve a more environmentally sustainable, prosperous and inclusive Waikato by 2030. Harvey Brookes The Trust has committed to spend $3 million over five years to establish and seed fund the Waikato Wellbeing Project’s support function and the council will chip in with $100,000 and work in-kind resourcing. The project has 10 targets, based on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and developed for the Waikato region through workshops with hundreds of local leaders and experts last year. Mr Brookes said the Waikato Wellbeing Project was an opportunity to unleash the potential of the region and its people. “I’m very excited to be part of this mahi and look forward to working alongside all those with a stake in a better future,” said Mr Brookes. Waikato Regional Council chief executive Chris McLay said Waikato-born Mr Brookes, who will start in his role midDecember, demonstrated a depth and range of experience across environmental, economic, social and cultural wellbeings, strategy and start-ups, including the establishment of the Waikato region’s economic development agency, Te Waka. “His appointment will help make the right people come together to address the challenges we face as a region, to make us more economically resilient, and to further improve our quality of life.” WEL Energy Trust chief executive Raewyn Jones said Mr Brookes already had direct experience with the project and a track record in scoping, designing and implementing major organisational change projects.

A ‘bridge to nowhere’ has a destination at last. The blue pedestrian in Cambridge bridge was completed in October last year to provide pedestrian access across a large stormwater swale - but has remained dormant in the absence of a connecting pathway. The connecting pathway between the bridge and Swayne Road in Cambridge North has received the tick of approval and has now been opened for public use. Council’s growth programme manager Robin Walker said the bridge’s nickname would need to be
revisited. “Our community have showed great patience and had a bit of a laugh at our expense while the pathway was being connected. I think it will always be affectionately known as the blue bridge to nowhere even if it receives an official name in future,” Walker said. Cambridge North has seen a major transformation over the past ten years, with green pastures giving way to new neighbourhoods as the district’s population has boomed. Council is due to start the second stage of the stormwater upgrade
which involves increasing the size of the pond at the north end of Victoria Street and the Waikato Expressway off-ramp, as well as additional planting to treat stormwater collected in heavy rain events. “Together with the stormwater upgrades, we will also be adding this summer an extension to bring the existing pathway along the outside of Little Einsteins Educare to connect it with Swayne Road and install a safer pedestrian crossing.” Walker added. Signs indicating where the new upgrades will take place is due to be installed in the next few weeks.

Movie night raises $4000 By Viv Posselt
Money raised by Cambridge High School students Ashlin Long and Ella Buffery through a schools budgeting competition has been presented to two charities. The Salvation Army and Asthma Waikato each received $2000, raised by the enterprising pair through a community movie night they hosted at Cambridge Raceway last month and attended by around 170 people. They were able to organise the event after winning $5000 in a ‘Money Jam’ budgeting competition run by Sorted in Schools, a Commission for Financial Capability (CFFC) initiative that seeks to enhance financial knowledge among young people. Ashlin and Ella heard about the competition pre-lockdown from their teacher and head of the school’s commerce department, Tina Rose-Dutton. With that win under their belt, the girls decided to use the opportunity to do something for the community, particularly given the difficulties faced by many this year, and organised the gold-coin entry movie screening of ‘Dolittle’ in mid-November. They used the $5000 to set up a website, and organise food, drink and prizes for the relaxed ‘BYO cushion’ affair. The $1000 not allocated to one of the two charities covered those expenses. “There were a lot more people there than we had expected,” said Ella. Tina said the screening was preceded by a performance by the CHS dance group. “Ashlin and Ella did a great job. They didn’t have to give so much of their

budgeting competition prize away, but they wanted to give it to charity.” The girls chose The Salvation Army for the work it does in the community and picked Asthma Waikato as the second recipient. Ashlin, whose mum Sheryl Long is an asthma educator and general manager for Asthma Waikato, said she knew a few people with the condition and suffered from it herself. “It is really important to be able to help an organisation like that. They do such a lot for people with asthma.” Sheryl said the money would be used
to provide ‘asthma bags’ for children. “They can put their inhalers and spacers in the bag and take it with them wherever they go.” The Salvation Army’s Shaun Baker said the donated money would go towards helping families in need at Christmas. “We’re one of the social agencies involved with Cambridge Committee of Social Services (CCOSS). Last year we helped 70 families … this year it will be over 100 because of Covid-19. We are very grateful to the girls for this donation. It will enable us to help more people at Christmas.”

Christmas fest starts The always-popular Cambridge Christmas Festival opened in the town hall yesterday and will run through to December 18 under this year’s theme, Celebrate with Colour. Undaunted by the challenges of 2020, organisers are determined to make the festival a cracker of an event, complete with the usual gift shop goodies, Christmas craft, tea shop, the line-up of choirs, and visits by Santa. Festival president Deb Robinson said trees in the main hall are decorated in different colours to align with the theme, and the shop will showcase a huge range of decorations, ornaments and gifts. Money raised from the shop last year saw just over $30,000 given out to community groups. The festival has been running for 28 years, put together by a group of about 40 volunteers uniting as the Cambridge Christmas Festival Group. The women volunteer their time weekly from February through to December, many of them logging almost 250 hours a year. Deb said the group had come to play a huge role in the community, and said she was grateful to supporters and businesses who sponsored the festival. “It’s about time we celebrated this year, and what better way to do so than with some unique festive decorations at our town hall. We can’t wait to bring some cheer to people and hopefully help many community groups with funding next year.” An array of choirs will perform throughout the two-week festival, and Santa will visit from noon at weekends. It is open at the Cambridge Town Hall from 10am to 8.30pm until December 10, and 10am to 5.30pm from December 11-18.

A Wednesday washout By Viv Posselt
The late November weather bomb that hit Waipā left businesses in Te Awamutu flooded and had rural residents picking up the pieces after tornadoes swept through the region. Heavy rain and hail hit Waipā in the early afternoon of Wednesday last week. Stormwater drains were overwhelmed, leaving several businesses ankle deep in water. Others reported water pouring down the walls and parts of ceilings collapsing. Some did not reopen until Friday. Of the 15 calls logged by the Te Awamutu Voluntary Fire Brigade between 2pm and 8pm on the day all but three were for flooding. Te Awamutu Deputy Chief Fire Officer Karl Tutty said there were about 10 additional calls attended by Cambridge or Hamilton brigades that were not on that log. “Most were in Te Awamutu’s CBD, from Rewi St-St Mary’s Ave in the west and Park Rd in the east. Most of the calls were for surface flooding.” Robert Harris Café lost a dayand-a-half of business. Owner Anita Zhou said: “It was really bad … water came down from the roof over the seating area. We had to use buckets to catch the water.” Murray Green of Paper Plus Te Awamutu said water came via the roof and ceiling in a couple of places.

THE AGE OF REASON
Kill this stigma around maths
A tale of two women
By Matteo Di Maio
By Peter Carr
Late last year, one of the American Democratic Party’s more idiosyncratic presidential candidates stepped onto a stage in Philadelphia. Andrew Yang, the former test-prep entrepreneur turned long-shot politician, donned his campaign’s signature cap. Like his opponent in the Republican Party, Yang’s hat had a characteristic slogan: not Maga (Make America Great Again), but Math (Make American Think Harder.) A year later, and Andrew Yang is out of the race to be the Democratic Party’s frontrunner; the eventual choice, Joe Biden, has won at the polls. But, for me, Yang remains front of mind for his curious policy platform: one of PowerPoints, Universal Basic Income, and — crucially — of championing mathematics. Why’s this so interesting? Because being good at maths is not cool. Yang ran a campaign trying to build momentum around a love for something people will happily profess their lacking proficiency at. As my maths teacher this year complained: “No one boasts to their friends: I’m illiterate! But they’ll happily claim: I suck at maths!” This seems to be the prevalent social attitude. A study in 2005 in the Academic Exchange Quarterly found that: “Over 1000 undergraduate students were questioned as to the embarrassment level they would feel for various deficiencies (including sematical and nonmathematical situations). Results reveal that most students (including mathematics majors) do not find it embarrassing to make a mathematical mistake, but do find it embarrassing to make nonmathematical mistakes.” Why do I bring up the sorry state of maths in the public eye? Because, for example, while the latest (2019) PISA survey has Kiwi
students at seventh in the OECD for Science, or eighth for Reading, we sit at a terrifying 22nd for maths. So we have a maths skills problem, and also a maths perception problem. How, then, do we rectify the social stigma around being good at numbers? Part of the stigma is hereditary: parents shrug off maths with a: “well, I was never any good at it.” If there’s one question my maths teachers invariably get, it’s: “When will I ever need to know this in real life?” Aside the benefits of counting change, perhaps it would pay for our maths curriculum to stress the career opportunities that maths does bring. Bill Barton, head of Maths at Auckland Uni, says: “There is a worldwide shortage of those [maths-y] people, particularly those that take Maths to PhD level. The market is screaming out for them”. Apparently: Multidisciplinary consultants Connell Wagner laughed when asked if the graduates they employ have enough maths in their qualifications. We increasingly need people who understand how our world is now run — while we stigmatise those who can grasp a function, a code string, or the algorithm that decides what information Facebook filters down to you. Maybe the solution to ending the maths stigma, and New Zealand’s stagnating position in the education leaderboards, is to incorporate real-life mathematicians into classes — coders, agriculture scientists, architects and, yes, virologists. Exposure to these kinds of people just might make maths present as cool.
The much-trumpeted arrival of Season Four of the docudrama The Queen has, no, doubt, seen a plethora of people with free time available being glued to their screens. The concentration in this latest series (and I am only up to item 3) appears to be centric on two ladies of quite different (and differing) generations coupled with their influence upon the British public. And to a certain extent the remainder of the English-speaking world. These two quite singular women - Margaret Thatcher and Diana Spencer – each wove a mysterious and effective spell on the island nation. Each had a spectacular entrance into and upon the public scene. Mrs T, originating from a humble middle-class background through her father’s retail premises – and a brilliant sojourn at Oxford – landed all huffing and puffing at the top chair at the Cabinet table. She then decided to take the mainly elderly (and very white) group of Ministers and shake them up and around. And in many cases – right out. She brought in younger people who would help her to carry out her crusade against union-dominated commerce, appalling stand over tactics on both sides of the working spectrum - and turning around the hopes and aspirations from ‘more of the same’ towards a springboard of export-driven commercial success. Hat’s not to forget her tarrying awhile with the help of the armed forces and the Merchant Navy to throw the Spanish-speaking illegal inhabitants off the rock-strewn shores of a remote group of South Atlantic islands. Her interface with Her Majesty, as depicted by their weekly Tuesday meetings, showed the starch resolve of Mrs T matched by the historically-driven but ‘been there before’ attitude of HM. Both excellent leaders in their own spheres but with quite opposite ideals of
reaching the target. On the other hand the arrival of a teenage girl – without any form of formal educational qualifications – at the gates of The Palace – would have been dreamtime stuff for most of the somewhat hysterical writers of the low journalistic value women’s magazines. But this lass was made of Thatcher-like stuff as she fought the oppressive ‘firm’ to be recognised in her own right. She won the hearts and minds of millions of people throughout the world, clearly demonstrating the total unfairness and heavily skewed marital ground upon which she found herself. When she tragically died pursued by money-grabbing photographers (feeding low level journals) the reaction in her favour was truly amazing. Both of these ladies – each in a very unconnected manner – had a good story to tell. In very different ways but both of them entirely believable. Each of them passionate about their beliefs in the welfare of those who could not fend for themselves. So as we emerge from our recent national election into a topsy-turvey world of financial morass we need to recognise that we, too, require firm and resolute leadership to bring us back to normality. Poor government can only bring poor results. So it behoves all of us to give them a fair go. Watching our new Foreign Affairs Minister this morning – herself absolutely new to the portfolio – was indeed a breath of fresh air. Focussed, firm, admitting when she could not answer that she would ascertain the truth – and ethnically competent to ensure that our South Pacific mix is portrayed with a balanced view internationally.

A lifeboat in a sea of global pandemic
Waipā is in a strong position to recover economically from Covid-19, guests at November’s Friends of Council event were told, but we must maintain momentum, and the primary sector is key to powering that momentum. By Viv Posselt
The high levels of Covid-19 still present all over the world has real implications for New Zealand, says Infometrics senior economist Brad Olsen, guest speaker at November’s Friends of Council event. “We’re a small trading nation. We cannot isolate ourselves from the world,” he said. “Essentially, we’re the lifeboat floating in a sea of pandemic. We have done incredibly well here in New Zealand, and better in
Waipā than in many other parts of the country. “Some of the key drivers of the New Zealand’s economic success have been taken away, and things are really tough in some areas. In reality, it is likely to be about three-and-a-half years before the New Zealand economy makes it back to normal levels.” Covid-19 produced a ‘mixed bag of results’ for New Zealand, he said, with tourism and transport badly hit, more
support needed in the healthcare, social assistance and some agricultural sectors, while construction was holding up well.` “We’re not doing too badly, but some are still in a world of pain.” Waipā has a strong economic base, he said, with positive job numbers and a dairy sector that remains key to the region faring better than others. “Waipā is one of the few areas that is standing strong through the pandemic. Even though there are people doing it tough, overall spending is up when compared to other regions and that gives more confidence. There has been a strong response to the ‘buy local’ campaign, but
there is still work to be done. What we are looking for is the ability to maintain momentum … the primary sector will power that momentum.” Mr Olsen said 580 residents had moved to Waipā from other regions during the past year, many of them reflecting the trend to shift out of the cities, and the growth in population highlighting a need for more housing. The loss of international tourists to New Zealand would be felt particularly keenly during summer, he said, and while domestic tourism was up, locals tend to not spend at as high a level as their international counterparts.
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.

MenzShed sets a benchmark By Viv Posselt
A macrocarpa bench seat with a bit of a story attached is the first prize in the 2020 Friends of Resthaven Christmas raffle. It is beautifully made, comfortably sized for two, and built to last a lifetime. The blokes behind it are stalwarts at the Menz Shed at Cambridge Resthaven. The
shed was built at the back of the complex’s community centre a few years back, and although on Resthaven property, it’s a Cambridge community facility that opens to the wider public every Wednesday. Former farmer George Dingle is the bloke behind the benches. Working with him is Ray Killip, a retired carpenter-joiner who initiated
new safety rules at the shed when he came to Resthaven 18 months ago, most importantly one that states no-one works in the shed alone. George is more accustomed to dealing with the mechanical trappings of farm life. “When I came here, I knew nothing about rip saws, jig saws or band saws … I did know about chain saws,” he smiled. “They’re all quite
Fine for river spill A Waikato infrastructure construction company has been fined $32,500 for discharging sediment to the Waikato River during the construction of the Waikato Expressway. Hick Bros Infrastructure Ltd is part of the alliance group formed to coordinate and construct the Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency’s Waikato Expressway project. The sediment discharge in January 2019 occurred as a result of the failure of an earth bund that had been constructed to hold back water. The failure occurred near Hamilton and initially impacted on the Mangaonua Stream flowing to the Waikato River. The visual impacts on the river were significant.
The sentencing outcome was released this week by Hamilton District Court Judge Brian Dwyer as a result of a prosecution initiated by Waikato Regional Council. Judge Dwyer commented on the “excellent track record” of the company, but said this breach “demonstrated a certain lack of care or poor management practice which contributed to this event”. Waikato regional compliance manager Patrick Lynch said: “The expressway is an absolutely enormous project that has been very well-managed. This was a single isolated incident by a reputable company, but it does demonstrate the extremely high level of care that needs to be taken in projects of this scale.”

dangerous!” Move ahead four years, and woodworking has become a welcome pastime. George began making the benches after his wife Anne passed away, using macrocarpa wood sourced from his former farm. Anne had been a manager at St Andrew’s village before the Selwyn Trust became involved, and when she died a move was made to recognise her service. George made a bench to carry a plaque in her name. It was so admired, he was asked to make another. Then he made one for Resthaven’s community garden, and later several more, including one for himself. He has also made air conditioning unit covers that double as tables, and what he calls ‘five-function spatulas’. In late January, George turned 90. When lockdown came, the shed became his happy place and he beavered away making things; the bench being raffled is his

fourth this year. Ray, meanwhile, is busy making ‘memory boxes’ to be placed on the walls outside residents’ doors at Resthaven on Burns’ dementia unit. “They will hold small items … things residents can easily recognise which will help them find their way back to their rooms.” The Christmas raffle is an annual fundraiser for Friends of Resthaven. First prize is
the bench, second is a hamper of goodies from Cambridge New World, and third is a copy of the ‘Cambridge in Lockdown’ book of Eric Hill’s fabulous photographs. Tickets are available at Cambridge FreshChoice on December 1 and 8, at Countdown on December 10 and on Sunday December 13 at the Lions Trash & Treasure market.

New rules for debate
Well heeled….
Taupo MP Louise Upston donned a pair of heels last weekend and joined in the 400m ‘Walk in Her Shoes’ event promoting the White Ribbon message. Last Saturday’s walk, led by Violence-Free Waipā’s anti-violence co-ordinator for Cambridge, Ruth Nicholls, was held during the Cambridge Athletic and Harrier Club’s inaugural fundraising Christmas Market. A stall manned by Violence Free Waipā answered questions about the annual White Ribbon anti-violence message. Among others to take the walk were Cambridge Community Centre manager Harriet Dixon, Grey Power president Val Massey and members of the Cambridge fire brigade. Market organiser Dee Atkinson said the club was thrilled at the response to its inaugural Christmas Market, and the support, particularly from families. “Some stallholders have already asked about next year, so we will definitely be making it an annual event.”

Currently beekeeping in these residential zones is not permitted without obtaining a resource consent first. PC 16 includes technical improvements to clarify rules around the size requirements of water supply for rural firefighting purposes, glazing and facades for stand-alone garages in the residential zone, and the location and size of outdoor living areas. Rounding up the three proposed plan changes is PC 15, which aims to provide consistency between similar rules across different zones, changing the category of consent required for impermeable surfaces – those that don’t absorb water such as concrete – and to increase the surface size area for larger sites within the large lot residential zones.

Good news – or is it?
The power of thought
By Peter Matthews
By Murray Smith, Senior Leader, Bridges Church
Scanning through the news this morning, I noticed an article on BBC News which claimed ‘one of biology’s biggest mysteries largely solved’ by AI. Normally I like the BBC writers, they make complex subjects accessible, but in this case after a very short time my mind had turned to fog. The first few lines gave way to a discouragingly complex graphic which I skipped almost immediately in favour of continuing to bounce over the text without really understanding any of it. Reaching the end of the article I was aware that a significant advance has just been made in the field of AI which will be of enormous benefit to the study of medicine and proteins. That’s good news. Still a bit blurry on it, I turned to the Guardian version of the same story. I’m not sure exactly why, but this article was easier to read and made more sense - to me. I was still actively engaged with the text when I got to the bit which read “pave the way for designer medicines, more nutritious crops, and ‘green enzymes’ that can break down plastic pollution.” Well that sounds like very good news. In the BBC article the writer quoted a Professor Dame Janet Thornton referring to the problem just solved as ‘one of biology’s biggest mysteries’. In the Guardian version the same source was quoted as saying “This is a problem that I was beginning to think would not get solved in my lifetime.” The latter quote just seems more interesting to me, it conveys the gravitas of the matter and gives it context at the same time. Journalistic style aside, this really sounds
like a big deal. Imagine an enzyme which could break down plastic pollution into environmentally harmless, or even beneficial materials. But even if such a thing could be produced, how would it be deployed? One couldn’t simply pump vast quantities of enzymes into the skies and seas. Since an enzyme is not a living thing it would have to be incorporated into an organism. Then, to have any effect on plastic pollution, that organism would have to be allowed or encouraged to become ubiquitous throughout the lands and oceans of the world. What if it became the microbial equivalent of rats, rabbits, and possums in New Zealand? Once out of the box there would be no putting it back in. I’m all in favour of scientific advance and research but if Covid-19 has taught humans anything it is surely the power of the microbe. We humans, at the pinnacle of thousands of millennia of evolution, are perilously susceptible to any number of threats from further down the food chain. So maybe the BBC’s rather tedious explanation of the science was, in fact, a more realistic interpretation of the situation than the Guardian’s “green enzymes”. Or maybe it is the responsibility of any reader of any text to keep an open mind for as long as possible, on the way to a conclusion.
A phrase sometimes accompanies a gesture or gift being offered that is perhaps a bit on the modest side. “It’s the thought that counts,” we say and it’s intended to kind of mitigate against the offering being somewhat mundane. Actually, it’s a potent phrase because our ‘thoughts’ really do count in more ways than most of us might ever consider. Our thoughts, our thinking processes and what goes on in the mind determines everything about the course of our lives…for good or bad. There’s a proverb in the Bible which says “as a person thinks within himself, so is he.” It’s a powerful insight into how thoughts influence and govern the behaviours and actions that we ultimately live out. We need to guard our minds and to fill them with the truth. What occupies our minds and our thinking is very powerful. I read a report of a railway worker in Russia who accidentally found himself stuck inside a refrigerated rail-freight carriage. Realising no one knew where he was and that he could not make himself heard, he began to prepare himself for what he believed was inevitable. His death. His mind told him he was doomed. Over the coming hours he began to write thoughts on the walls of his prison… ‘freezing cold now’… harder and harder to breathe’… ‘weakening, can’t be much longer now’… ‘the end is close…’ The next day the worker was found dead in the railway carriage. The remarkable thing was the refrigeration unit was inoperative, it was not freezing cold, there was no shortage of air to breathe, in fact there was nothing in his environment to claim the railway worker’s life.
Reading his scrawled notes it was concluded the man had ‘thought himself to death’. He imagined there was no way he could live and therefore his body gave up. Fears, anxiety, insecurities, inferiority, and a raft of emotional issues that people face wreak such destruction. From activating events, perhaps a trauma back in childhood, we form conclusions about those events, misbeliefs can result which incubate in our mind, to be lived out in our experience. I often see misbeliefs that people have carried about themselves which originated during childhood. As children we are active receivers of information but poor interpreters of that information. A child experiencing shame, humiliation or being mocked for attempting things, readily forms mental conclusions that they are a reject, a failure, useless and inadequate. That thought, like a seed, grows in the mind - with it the decision to protect themselves from ever attempting anything much in life for fear of further shame or failure. False conclusions and negative thoughts accumulate in our minds like information on a computer hard drive - data banks of painful thoughts and conclusions rob so many lives. A freeing miracle occurring in the mind of a person coming to genuine faith is summed up well in the following line from the Bible. “God has not given us the spirit of fear but of power and of love and a sound mind.”

Golfers drive to keep rescue helicopters airborne
Veteran golfers from across the Waikato are preparing to mark 25 years of continuous financial support for the Waikato Westpac Rescue Helicopter. Through an annual charity tournament and fundraising by individual clubs more than $125,000 has been donated to the rescue helicopter service. In recent times more than $7000 has been donated each year. It is believed the involvement by the Waikato District Veteran Golf Association makes it one of the longest continuous supporters of the rescue helicopter. Waikato Westpac Rescue Helicopter Marketing Manager Sharni Weir said funds raised help ensure the Waikato Westpac Rescue Helicopter continues to provide a vital lifesaving service to the community. “We have enjoyed the long-term support of the veteran golf association. To be chosen to benefit from this event year on year is a privilege for which we are very grateful,” she says. “With the average cost of a mission being $8000, it’s a great example of a fundraising event where participants get to do something they truly enjoy
whilst literally helping to save a life.” The 25th anniversary Festival of Golf will be played on January 25 to 29 at Cambridge, Waikare, Pirongia and Ngaruawahia Golf Clubs. Teams of four pay an entry fee of $200 to enter and long-term sponsors also play their part. Entries are now open and are expected to fill the 32-team field quickly. Many golf clubs have a proud history of supporting the tournament and see the funds generated as a way of putting back into the community. Some of the players have personally experienced the life-saving capabilities of the rescue service. A representative of the rescue helicopter team visits on the final day to present prizes and to give a few insights into the service. The ‘festival’ was conceived “to support the rescue helicopter” and developed into an annual fixture on the veteran golfing calendar in the mid-1990s. The idea of a charity tournament was initially suggested by the two serving Members of Parliament who saw it as a means of attracting people to Hamilton. Early days saw the tournament
played at a variety of courses including Park International Country Club, Hamilton, Narrows, Ngaruawahia, Lochiel and Cambridge Golf Clubs. Many golf clubs around the region wield Westpac helicopter money boxes year-round to collect funds for the service. They come together at the time of the Festival of Golf to swell the donation.

Matangi, Suburbs dominate
Matangi Hillcrest Mustangs and Suburbs Falcons continue to set the pace in the Waikato Lacrosse Men’s and Women’s Club Leagues, with neither team dropping a match so far this season. In the Men’s League, the Te Awamutu Marist Braves were matched against Matangi Hillcrest Mustangs as the League moved into its second round of games. Defensively the Braves tracked the movements of Matangi well, forcing them to take more outside shots. The Braves have also picked up their transition game from earlier in the season, with the midfield working the ball up to the offence better than in the first round, but Matangi Hillcrest Mustangs prevailed for a final score of 11 goals to 5. In the other Men’s League match, an improving Suburbs side won again Hamilton Marist by 10 goals to 5. In the Women’s League A Division, Suburbs Falcons had a convincing 21-3 win against Te Awamutu Sports Lions. Kaipaki Phoenix seem to be gathering strength as the season progresses with a 19-4 goal win against Suburbs Eagles. Cambridge TVP Titans played Kaipaki Phoenix Yellow in a default match. The Waikato Intermediate School League completed their last round-robin match on Saturday, with Cambridge Middle School Power still unbeaten and leading the Girls A Division on 15 points, and Morrinsville Gold and Berkley Hawks in second equal on 10 points each. St Peters Red and Matamata Blue lead the Girls B Division Group A on 12 points each, with Matamata Yellow and St Peters Blue on 10 points each to head the Girls B Division Group B. In the Boys Division, Morrinsville Cobalt remain unbeaten on 12 points to lead the division. Finals for the Intermediate school league will be held on December 12, and women’s club league final will be a week later. Men’s

Fab Festive Desserts
Christmas – a time to indulge in delicious desserts. But it’s important to balance rich temptations with generous servings of fresh summer fruits. A (glass) bowl of mixed berries such as blackberries, raspberries, blueberries and strawberries is simple, eye-catching — and delectable. For variation, enhance berries with a balsamic syrup. Combine equal amounts of good balsamic vinegar and sugar. Heat, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved. Cool. Drizzle a little over the berries just before serving with lavish dollops of whipped cream, ice cream or yoghurt.
FROZEN CHRISTMAS PUD
There are some excellent accompaniments available to serve with your desserts. Clotted cream – a thick, cooked cream – is heaven with fresh berries. Crème fraîche with a slightly sour flavour – similar to a mild yoghurt – is also a good match with fruit. It can be thinned with a little liquid cream. The versatile pavlova is still one of our most popular desserts. Top with whipped cream, custard, ice cream or lemon curd and serve garnished with fresh fruit, Christmas fruit mincemeat, chopped ginger and/or chocolate, nuts, or drizzle with fruit purées, melted chocolate or caramel sauce.

Place the butter, dried fruit, cherries, brown sugar and cream in a saucepan. Heat until the butter is melted. Add the brandy and baking soda. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until the baking soda stops fizzing. Stir in the almonds. Cool a little.
Break up the ice cream in a large bowl. Stir in the just-warm fruit mixture. Pour into the prepared pudding basin. Freeze for at least 24 hours before turning onto a serving plate. To serve, slowly pour the melted chocolate over the top allowing it to dribble down the sides. Serves 8-10.
FAST FESTIVE FLAN I made a filo flangm for the onestepnz@ ail.com base but you could also 021 use a sponge flan 163 from 2117 your supermarket or deli. The mascarpone filling is versatile: use in profiteroles, sponge cakes, chocolate logs and more. Mascarpone filling: 1 cup mascarpone pinch salt 1/2 cup cream 1/3 cup icing sugar Flan: 4 sheets filo pastry 25g butter, melted 500-700g strawberries (hulled), or a mixture of berries 12 mini meringues (see recipe), optional Using an electric beater, whip the mascarpone and salt until light. With the motor running gradually add the cream then the icing sugar. Cover and refrigerate – 4 hours or up to 2 days – until ready to use. Preheat the oven to 190°C. Brush each sheet of filo with butter and layer in a 20cm flan dish placing each sheet on an angle to the other so the dish is evenly covered. Fold in the pastry edges to
form a neat rim. Line the filo with greased foil. Bake in the middle of the oven for 10 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for a few minutes, until the centre is lightly coloured. Cool. Prepare 2-3 days ahead and store in an airtight container. To serve, fill the flan with the mascarpone. Halve any large the strawberries. Pile on top of the mascarpone. Dot with mini meringues (if using) sandwiched together with whipped cream. Great served dusted with icing sugar and garnished with mint leaves. Serves 6
MINI MERINGUES These will keep in an airtight container in a cool place for weeks. Excellent for serving with coffee or decorating cakes and desserts. 1 egg white pinch salt 1/3 cup caster sugar Preheat the oven to 160°C. Line a large baking tray with baking paper. Whisk the egg white and salt in a small
bowl, until stiff. Gradually add the caster sugar about a tablespoon at a time, beating until smooth and glossy. Drop or pipe small teaspoonfuls onto the tray. Place in the oven. Reduce the oven temperature to 130°C. Bake the meringues for 30 minutes. Turn the oven off and leave the meringues to cool. Makes about 20.

Juniors leading the way
Luke Whittaker leads the North Island junior driver points ladder after his victory behind Anam Nunu at Alexandra Park last week. The Greg Shirley-trained mare was taken back from her wide draw by the Cambridge driver to settle towards the rear of the field and with a lap to go Whittaker asked Anam Nunu to improve three-wide to sit outside leader and race favourite Jemma. The duo kicked clear by several lengths turning for home and Anam Nunu was able to out tough her rival to win by a neck over the fastfinishing Eighteen Carat, with a further head back a tiring Jemma in third. “It was a nice race to win to kick-off the start of the series,” Whittaker said. “It was also good to get the win for Greg, it was his first training win. It’s always a big thrill to get your first training win.” It was Whittaker’s fifth driving win of the season and puts him four points clear on the North Island Junior Drivers table ahead of fellow Cambridge junior Alicia Harrison, with Hamilton’s Dylan Ferguson. “It’s always a good feat (to be leading), but there is still a long way to go in the season. I’ll keep ticking away,” Whittaker said.

Indentured to Cambridge trainer Mike Berger, Whittaker has been enjoying more time in the cart this season. “Mike’s team has been going really well,” he said. “The last few months they have been going well, we have just been copping a few bad draws. “We are really happy with how they are going.” Whittaker is also enjoying training is own small team
and he is particularly looking forward to lining up Chalberg in the amateur drivers races over the summer for former All Whites Coach Ricki Herbert. “Chalberg is no star, but he tries hard,” Whittaker said. “He will go in the amateur races for Ricki Herbert. He is competitive in those races and hopefully he can get a win for Ricki in his father’s colours.” – Cambridge Raceway
