Walk the walk Waipā District Council has come in for criticism this week from Cambridge businesses who want to see a the priority level for a third bridge in town pushed up – but at the same time is has announced a plan to make the town more pedestrian and two-wheel friendly.

Streets for People project team Sarah Ulmer says the plan, based on community feedback, is to trial rapid, low cost and temporary changes to some streets “so we can see what works and what doesn’t in making our streets safer and easier for kids – and all of us – to use”.

The council released a concept plan (shown left) this week.

We look at the plan on Page 3 today, and report on frustration at the bridge time line on page 7.

How does your garden grow?

Cambridge’s greenfingered folk are being invited to raise their trowels and join in the next Rotary Cambridge Garden Festival, set down for November next year.

The previous festival succeeded in raised over $37,000 for charities – and it is hoped the 2021 and 2022 events will raise even more.

Organiser Carey Church is looking for gardens that will offer the sort of variety festival visitors will enjoy. “Small town gardens, big country gardens, pretty flower gardens, architecturallydesigned gardens or rambling overflowing gardens,” she said.

“Gardens with red, white and blue, or just different shades of green. They don’t have to be perfect … they have to be interesting and have been created

the surprise element is likely to be popular.

The gardens in the final tally will be open from 9am to 4.30pm on the day – November 21.

Those keen to join in next year’s festival should contact Carey at cambridgegf@gmail. com, or leave a message on 0800 225 621.

Gardens large and small are being sought for the 2021 Rotary Cambridge Garden Festival.

Councils restrict water use

Water restrictions have been introduced to Waipā today.

Hamilton and Waipā have moved to Water Alert Level One restrictions – which places restrictions on sprinkler use.

They may be used between 6am to 8am and 6pm to 8pm daily. There are no restrictions on the use of handheld hoses.

Waipā reached Water Alert Level Four last summer for the first time.

It brought a total outdoor watering ban to Te Awamutu, Pirongia and Ohaupo.

The restrictions introduced today apply across the district, water services manager Martin Mould “The water supply for Te Awamutu and Pirongia comes from a small stream on Mt Pirongia which is quickly affected by hot and humid temperatures. We have also been monitoring the longer lasting effects of the drought on the Lake Taupo

Eleven gardens have already been confirmed, but more are needed.

Carey said there would be a special ‘Behind the Scenes Tour’ at the 2021 festival. More details on that will come out once they have been confirmed, but she said

catchment and low Waikato River levels.

“Our experienced waters team are continuously monitoring our water supply levels across the district and have indicated that moving early will help prolong the supply.

Our communities know how to band together and do their part in conserving water, and we need to again this year, so we can hopefully avoid any need for higher water alert levels again before our new water supply is ready next year.”

NIWA projections for summer in the Waikato region are for hot and humid weather.

On the beat

with Senior Constable DEB THURGOOD

Some old-school tips As we come to the end of 2020, I look back at the huge ride it has been.

Covid-19 threw us all a curve ball, taking what seemed to be a fairly normal start to the year and throwing everything into uncertainty and turmoil.

We were all sent into lockdown which brought many varied challenges (including the great flour and toilet paper shortages!).

As an essential worker, I felt the privilege of having continued social contact in my work bubble, balanced against the responsibility to ensure I didn’t bring any outside germs into my home. Our community really came together wonderfully and the true spirit of friendship and kindness shone through.

As your Community Liaison Officer, my usual role varies from assisting with crime prevention advice, neighbours at war, family harm and other front-line jobs, to community talks and communication on key topics (through this column and the Waikato Police Facebook page).

During lockdown that all changed (along with the rest of the team) to a role of community education and working to ensure that individuals did their very best, to keep themselves and everyone else safe.

By and large, I think we should be proud of how we stuck to the rules and supported each other. Our experience is certainly a big contrast to those we continue to see in other countries.

The fact that Christmas 2020 is close to normal in many respects (limited border access notwithstanding), is the gift we have all earnt.

As we move into holiday mode then, it is important to remember that crime doesn’t take a break. If you are taking off to explore Aotearoa, visiting friends or family, lock up your home securely, let someone know you will be away and ask neighbours to clear your letterbox.

If going away for a prolonged period, consider finding a house and pet sitter to stay, or asking neighbours to park their car in your driveway and even use your clothesline perhaps.

Old school tips maybe, but they make your house look less abandoned to the casual observer.

When travelling, be patient. Don’t speed or tailgate others.

It won’t get you to your destination any faster in the long run, and may stop you reaching it at all. We as Police do not want to have to advise another family that their loved one has been seriously injured or died through avoidable mistakes.

I encourage you to take time out to celebrate the move forward to 2021, but as always, be responsible. If drinking, drink responsibly. If hosting, provide food, keep an eye on your guests and maybe even offer a bed (or couch) for the night should it be required.

Do not drink and drive yourself or let others do so. If you don’t feel able to confront someone who is getting into their car to drive when impaired through drugs or alcohol, call 111 and provide the registration and vehicle description, plus an idea of where they are going.

Farewell from 2020. I will be back with my regular column in January 2021. Best wishes for a safe and happy break from me to you, Deb

Briefs…

Pontoon opens

Waipā mayor Jim Mylchreest officiated yesterday when the Lake Rotopiko pontoon and walkway were officially opened. The work at the Ōhaupō lake – also known as Lake Serpentine, is a National Wetland Trust – Ngāti Apakura project.

Council on target

Waikato Regional Council has reduced its gross emissions by 35 per cent since it started its Emissions Management and Reduction Plan in 2016/17. It is on track to meet a target of 70 per cent CO2e reductions compared to the base year by 2030.

Papers go digital

Copies of the Te Awamutu Courier newspaper are to be digitalised from microfilm for the Te Awamutu Museum.

Papers from a 14-year period – 1936 to 1950, when the newspaper was privately owned, will be scanned. The Courier was sold in 1992 and is now part of NZME, publishers of the New Zealand Herald.

Transport offer

Resthaven Cambridge is offering free transport to seniors keen to go to this year’s Marae Christmas Lunch. People wanting to take up the offer should apply either via organisers of the Marae luncheon, or to Gaylene Callaghan, Resthaven community liaison, on 027 408 1089. Meanwhile, Cambridge’s Del Sinnot is the owner of a macrocarpa bench built at the Menz Shed at Cambridge Resthaven, after her name was drawn in a Friends of Resthaven Xmas Raffle fundraising raffle.

Stan’s the man

Last week’s offer of a Christmas giveaway copy of Stan Walker’s autobiography Impossible: My Story attracted a huge response.

Congratulations to Melissa Jones of Cambridge whose name came out of the hat.

5G – good for business Businesses will be the beneficiaries of Spark’s first roll out of 5G in Waipā.

Spark opted for Te Awamutu, saying it was the third busiest cell site in New Zealand for mobile data usage – though it is also the only one in town.

Other similar sized Waikato communities like Cambridge and Huntly have two.

Te Awamutu and New Plymouth were the fourth and fifth centres added to Spark’s 5G Mobile family a week ago. The earlier roll outs of its 5G commercial service were in Auckland, Wellington and Dunedin.

The high speed service in Te Awamutu is available in the commercial district.

Spark was unable to say when the 5G spread would reach other Waipā communities such as Cambridge.

Getting up to speed with 5G doesn’t come at the press of a button. The fifth generation technology postdates most mobile phones.

For example, in the case of iPhones, only the latest iPhone12 will work with 5G. The model kicks in at around $1500.

Spark is also testing new technology designed

to prevent any impact on business if fibre fails, by enabling a connection to be made with 5G wireless.

Vodafone it is planning its 2021 upgrade and new-build schedule for mobile cell sites, but can’t say yet when it will reach Waipā.Richard Henderson, manager, Information Services for the Waipā District Council said 5G provided reliable wireless low latency high data transmission similar ultrafast fibre which could be used to support advances in autonomous vehicles and drones, smart city Infrastructure

and traffic management, ultra-high definition video streaming, and “more mundane uses” such office connectivity and working from home.

“Waipa District Council will benefit from 5G as the technology becomes integrated with existing business uses such as CCTV, smart meters, remote drone imagery, worker safety, transport and facilities management, and business connectivity,” he said.

In rural area where 5G is made available it comes with significant benefits.

“The chief benefits for us

would be to farmers and farmer practices. 5G enables new technologies and datadriven decision-making on farms to be possible, shifting large volumes of data in real time for insights and advanced analysis,” Fonterra spokesperson Erica Woods said.

“Some of this is already happening, but 5G will enable speed and volume.

“Another benefit will be to collect and combine even richer data across our endto-end supply chain all the way from cow to customer, delivering better outcomes for our shareholders and customers.”

Council walks the walk Cambridge will become “more vibrant, attractive and safe for children to walk, bike and scooter to school” under a Streets for People initiative unveiled this week.

The initiative comes after more than 250 residents and business owners identified issues on Cambridge streets they believed compromised safety.

The plan, which includes trialling new pedestrian crossings, planter boxes, painted dots on the road and a pop-up dual cycleway, is designed to address issues by making temporary changes to several streets and testing their effectiveness.

Community spokesperson and member of the Streets for People project team Sarah Ulmer said it was an exciting project grounded in feedback from the community.

“The whole idea of the Streets for People project is to use this feedback to trial some rapid, low cost and temporary changes to certain streets so we can see what works and what doesn’t in making our streets safer and easier for kids – and all of us – to use.

“The streets we have selected link four Cambridge schools and will allow us to create a route for kids to use to get safely to school, and home again, each day.”

Ulmer said the project had come about as a result of the 2017 Safe Ways to School survey carried out by Cambridge-based business CCASM. “In this survey, 73 per cent of parents who participated said they

wanted their children to be able to ride, walk or scoot to school if their routes were safe which shows how important it is we make some changes to our streets.”

Mum of two Kelly Collins said it was important for children to be able to use active modes of transport to get to school.

“When we get out of cars and onto bikes and scooters and our feet, we connect, not just with the places we are going to, but to the places and

people in between.

Waipā District Council service delivery group manager Dawn Inglis said the project had been a collaborative effort between Council and the Cambridge community.

She said once it was in place, changes and improvements could being made “along the way”.

The initiative will be launched in February and run to June 2021.

Then, successful changes would be left in place and unsuccessful ones

removed.

“Once the changes have been installed, we will have a three-week settling in period to give people the opportunity to test it out and then we’ll be seeking feedback for three months until June 2021,” Dawn Inglis said.

The Streets for People project is being funded by Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency.

Summer algae checks begin

Waikato Regional Council’s summer monitoring programme at lakes and river swimming spots have started Over four months from the beginning of December to the end of March, the council checks for signs of E.coli, as well as cyanobacteria (the micro-organism that causes potentially toxic algal blooms), both of which can affect human health.

If significant bacteria are found a health warning will be issued to the public by the Waikato District Health Board or Toi Te Ora Public Health. Monitoring results and warnings are also published on the LAWA website: www.lawa.org.nz/explore-data/ swimming.

Exposure to algal blooms can cause health effects such as skin rashes and stomach upsets. Hayfever and asthma may also worsen.

Waikato Regional Council environmental monitoring manager Ed Brown said it’s not possible for the council to monitor all locations where people are in the water.

“So it’s always safest that you check the water before you get in. Algal hotspots include small lakes and side-arms of the hydro-lakes where water can be stagnant and the water temperatures are higher than for flowing rivers.

“You should also avoid swimming in rivers, streams and harbours for 48 hours after heavy rainfall events. That’s because the water is likely to be contaminated with animal faeces from rural and urban runoff, that may cause a tummy bug, sore throat or skin infection.

“If the water looks discoloured, smells unusual, or if there is scum on the surface of lakes or on the beds of rivers, swim or play somewhere else,” he said.

Lake clean-up plan revealed A series of measures have been proposed to significantly improve the quality of the water at Lake Te Koo Utu in Cambridge.

Long standing water quality concerns were raised during Waipā District Council’s recent consultation on the Lake Te Koo Utu draft concept plan in April.

A plan to address this issue has now been put forward.

Broken down into three stages, it would see the construction of raingardens and devices to treat

stormwater runoff before it can get into the lake.

Council water services manager Martin Mould said Cambridge residents had made it very clear that improving the water quality of the lake was a priority.

“This is something that was considered extensively and addressed to a point in the draft concept plan.

“For any significant improvement to the quality of the water however, we need to

look at treating water before it goes into the lake. This is something we believe can be achieved through the use of raingardens and proprietary devices.”

Raingardens are planted areas installed on the roadside to filter water runoff from the street before it enters the lake.

Proprietary devices are fitted inside stormwater pipes to filter water as it passes through.

Mould said the one of the biggest sources of contamination

Martin Mould says the plan is not a quick fix, but will help.

in the lake was pollutants such as oil, petrol, zinc and rubber from cars which collected in rainwater and eventually made its way into the lake.

“Once these pollutants reach the lake, they sediment at the bottom creating layers of contaminated sludge. If we can ensure the water going into the lake is filtered of some of this, that should make difference to its quality. While this isn’t a quick fix, it will help over time.”

The three-stage programme would target the most critical areas such as intersections, which produce the highest contaminate loads, first. The work would extend then to high use roads in stage two and low use roads in stage three.

In stage one, 12 raingardens would be retrofitted near to high use intersections around the lake and three proprietary devices would be fitted into the existing stormwater outlets.

Another 32 raingardens would then be installed in stage two and 66 in stage 3 of the plan on high use streets further away from the lake and reserve.

Stage one of the project will cost around $356,000 and has been included in the draft Long Term Plan (LTP).

If funding is allocated, it would be rolled out in 2021/22.

Stages two and three would need to be considered in future LTPs.

It’s still a bridge too far: council

By Viv Posselt

Renewed calls for the building of a third bridge at Cambridge came loud and clear last week with those attending a Chamber of Commerce-led meeting driving hard for council to put a ‘pin in the map’ and get started.

But they were told the two in town are sufficient.

The meeting at Bridge’s Church included Chamber members, Waipā District Council (WDC) representatives, business owners and residents. It was held on the back of a Chamber poll of its members, in which almost all 50 responses signalled the need for movement on a third bridge.

Chamber CEO Kelly Bouzaid said concerns were expressed about the integrity of the 113-year-old Victoria (high-level) bridge, traffic congestion in Cambridge, and the need to keep up with the town’s growth.

Deputy Mayor Liz Stolwyk referenced the 2018 Beca report in which independent consultants found a third bridge would not be needed until 2048. It recommended increased use of the low-level Shakespeare St bridge which it said was currently underutilised.

WDC service delivery manager Dawn Inglis said a third bridge was “not a priority at this time … the numbers do not stack up”.

Waipā District Council’s service delivery manager Dawn Inglis and transport manager Bryan Hudson speaking at the meeting on a third bridge for Cambridge.

The harsh reality, she added, was that when compared to other bridge cities/towns, and based on measured traffic volumes, independent growth projections and wait times at bridges, Cambridge had adequate bridge capacity.

She said 2020 figures estimated the cheapest option for a new structure would be around $70 million, which made a third bridge “unaffordable without a government subsidy”.

Without that support, Waipā ratepayers would bear the weight of an estimated six percent increase in rates districtwide. In

addition, identifying a route too early could impact property values and force council to purchase land; investigations, planning and designation would require $3-$5 million even before any land purchase. She said council was concentrating on encouraging cycling, walking and better public transport rather than looking only at adding more roads.

Council transport manager Bryan Hudson said whatever was planned had to cater for all types of traffic and must be robust. “We cannot just build the network bigger and bigger,” he said. The siting of a new bridge

and the associated road linkages had to be well planned to avoid increasing traffic in town.

Audience members criticised the council for using information from 2018, but Dawn Inglis said the Beca data was the best the council had to work with. They also criticised council for delaying a decision on a third bridge and urged it to show leadership and make a decision now.

Attendees heard that the Victoria Bridge was assessed at having at least 20 years life left, probably more, but that was yet to be confirmed.

Chamber Board president Phil MacKay said further delays would only increase the costs. He said that if the high-level bridge was likely to last only another 20-30 years, the third bridge now being sought would in effect replace the high-level bridge – meaning there would be a need for two new bridges.

Further comment revolved around options for the siting of a proposed bridge.

The council is now reviewing its 2021-31 Long-Term Plan and Transport Strategy, with a view to its formal adoption in July 2021.

Residents were urged to submit feedback.

Kelly Bouzaid invited the council to look at options presented at the meeting and return in June next year to update the same group.

Give youngsters the message…

Parents in Waipā are being urged to speak to young drivers about safe driving habits before they head on summer road trips over the holiday period.

The call comes weeks out from the start of the festive season when thousands head to holiday destinations.

Waipā District Council Transportation Manager Bryan Hudson said it was important for parents to discuss what being safe on the road means with their teens before the start of the holidays.

“The Christmas/New Year period is the busiest time of year on our roads and it is when we see the highest number of crashes

and fatalities.

“Young drivers aged between 16 and 24 are much more at risk of being involved in fatal or serious injury crashes so it’s important to have a conversation about safe driving to get them thinking of the risks of the road.”

According to recent statistics, 16-24 yearold drivers make up around 13 per cent of licensed drivers but were responsible for 30 per cent of serious injury crashes and 26 per cent of fatal crashes.

The statistics suggest young drivers are often less familiar with the driving task, more likely to take risks, and tend to drive in higher-risk situations, such as at night and

with peer passengers. They are also more likely to drive and travel in vehicles with lower safety ratings.

Hudson urged parents to share the following messaging with young drivers: • Speed always determines the outcome of a crash so the faster you go, the bigger the mess.

• Put your mobile phone in the boot or simply turn it off to avoid temptation.

• Drive sober and remember, you can still be over the limit the next day after a night of drinking.

• Wear a seat belt, even in the back seat to protect you in case of a collision.

“Many crashes occur when a car crosses the centre line so remind young drivers to stay on their side of the road and only pass other vehicles if they have a clear vision of what is coming. The road code says 100 metres, or a rugby field, of clear road for the whole time you are passing – if not, don’t pass.

“One of the best ways for parents to help young drivers to make good choices is by taking an active interest in their driving, even once they have their restricted and full licenses.”

Road works: where the delays are

Motorists planning a festive holiday trip in the Waikato or Bay of Plenty are being urged to plan ahead, drive with care and be aware of construction sites on state highways on their travels.

Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency work sites will close from 23 December to 5 January to leave the roads clear for holiday traffic, but there may still be temporary speed limits and road cones at some work sites or where there has been recent road resurfacing.

“Traffic management, such as temporary speed limits, signs and cones, is used to alert road users to a change in the road or to works ahead, so look out for the signs and take care in the run up to Christmas and during the holiday period,” says Waka Kotahi Director of Regional Relationships Steve Mutton.

“Speeding through work sites is a significant problem.

Speeding vehicles can flick up loose metal and other objects which are a danger to road workers and other road users.

Motorists also have less control at higher speeds. They may clip road cones and send them flying at our road workers or oncoming traffic or lose control completely.

“There will be some holiday congestion and delays, and

we all need to factor that into our plans.”

Work sites to look out for include: Waikato • SH 4, north of Raurimu: 70km/h temporary speed limit due to uneven road surface.

• SH 25A, between Kopu and Hikuai: 60km/h temporary speed limit due to uneven road surface.

• SH 25A/SH 26 intersection, Kopu: 50km/h temporary speed limit due to temporary roundabout.

• SH26/Avenue Road intersection, Morrinsville: 50km/h temporary speed limit due to temporary roundabout.

• SH 32, southwest of Tokoroa: 70km/h temporary speed limit due to uneven road surface.

• SH 39, south of Ngahinapouri: 50km/h temporary speed limit and cones at Mangaotama Stream Bridge to protect the bridge deck ahead of replacement.

• SH 41, between Ngapuke and Kuratau: 50 km/h temporary speed limit due to road reseal site paused for holiday break.

• SH41, east of Ngapuke: 60km/h temporary speed limit due to uneven road surface.

• Hamilton section, Waikato Expressway: 50km/h

Remembering Pūrekireki’s fallen An unveiling of three pou and a waharoa has commemorated the death of an estimated 1500 Māori during a siege almost 200 years ago.

Kingi Tuheitia took a lead role in the unveiling at Pirongia last week of the carved waharoa (entranceway), mānuka palisade fence and carved pou (posts).

The carvings are the work of Māori artist James Webster and a team of carvers, developed in collaboration between Pūrekireki Marae, Te Rūnanganui o Ngāti Hikairo and Waipā District Council. The installation took place under the guidance of local kaumātua.

In May 1822, Mātakitaki Pā was invaded

by Northland iwi under the Ngā Puhi chief Hongi Hika.

The pā, a place of refuge, was

One of the three carved pou (posts) unveiled.

overwhelmed by Hongi Hika and musketbearing warriors who laid siege to the fortified settlement.

A commemorative plinth at the site reports it as “The site of Matakitaki Pa taken in 1822

by Ngapuhi from the Waikato tribes when the musket overcame the mere”.

Council’s iwi relations advisor Shane Te Ruki said it was important to remember the event and the impact it made on the people who lived and died at Mātakitaki 198 years ago.

“Mātakitaki is a place of great cultural significance to the local hapū and iwi. It was there that the dark spectre of musket warfare cast its shadow for the first time in the Waipā.”

“Mātakitaki is significant to the descendants of local hapū and iwi,” Te Ruki said.

“It stirs the souls of the iwi of Tainui and dilates the hearts of the descendants of the northern musket bearers.

He said the dedication enabled the sharing of stories, contemplative moments, tears and the strengthening of relationships between the tribes and the connections between all who attended.

“It is an important milestone in the ongoing work being done to commemorate events that brought monumental change to tribal life.”

The waharoa, which stands at the entrance to Mātakitaki, forms the shape of a rūrū as a kaitiaki (guardian) of the surrounding lands.

The three carved pou represent the three adjoining pā - Mātakitaki, Tauranga Kohia and Puketutu, located on a peninsula formed by the Waipā River and its tributary the Mangapiko.

Mātakitaki is wāhi tapu and features in the New Zealand Heritage List/Rārangi Kōrero.

Kingi Tuheitia leads the way through the manuka palisade fence at the conclusion of the unveilings.

Hundreds gathered to see the unveiling of the waharoa, and the ruru inspired central carving

Murder mysteries – and the risks

By Viv Posselt

Premier New Zealand investigative and true crime author Scott Bainbridge popped into Cambridge Library recently to talk books and offer a hint at what’s yet to come.

His eager audience left more than an hour later, as keen as ever on his material and with a new-found regard for the risks writing real crime stories attracts for those willing to scrutinise some of society’s murkier characters.

Te Awamutu born and raised, Scott lives in Hamilton. His most recently published works, ‘New Zealand Mysteries’ and ‘The Missing Files’, add to a body of work that has gripped readers since his first book, ‘Without a Trace: On the Trail of New Zealand Missing Persons’, came out in 2005,

with ‘Still Missing: More Unsolved Missing Person Cases in New Zealand’ following in 2008. A television series on his missing cases ran about a decade ago.

Scott’s third book in 2010, ‘Shot in the Dark: Unsolved New Zealand Murders from the 1920s and ‘30s’, centred on his interest in old-time gangsters, crooks and scallywags.

There were a couple of others between those and the new books, rollicking reads filled with machine-gun murders and even more gangsters.

Scott walked his audience through some of the cases he has written about, most of them made possible through the unique access he has to police files. That helps, he said, but what helps more is the fact people are willing to talk to him “because I’m not a police officer”.

Writing about real crime comes with some risk, and he alluded to some hairy moments.

One involved a thinly-veiled threat to a young family member from a well-dressed man he met up with in a Hamilton café to discuss a case.

A couple of years ago, Scott decided to update historical cases in ‘The Missing Files’.

“A lot had happened … progress had been made on some of the cases I wrote about earlier. So, I decided to amalgamate the information into a new book.” Those include the case of a missing child in 1964 Hamilton and a Scout leader who went missing in the Tararua Range in 1973.

“I was at a loose end after that, and it was suggested I write about Kiwi mysteries… that led to the book, ‘New Zealand

Mysteries’,” he said. It includes some of the country’s head-scratching unsolved mysteries and unexplained happenings.

There are tales of strange UFO sightings, crop circles near Ngātea, and stories of a giant race of people said to have lived in New Zealand.

His future projects include more books, podcasts and potentially more television series.

It is all grist to the mill for Scott, whose day job is vastly different. He works for the NZTA in a job he says keeps him sufficiently solvent to keep on writing. He remembers being the lad who was always captivated by the crime stories in the Sunday papers he would ride to get for his dad.

“I was fascinated then, and I still am now.”

Tainui Group Holdings have confirmed that express freight operator PBT (formerly Peter Baker Transport) will be the first commercial tenant in the Ruakura Superhub, under development on the eastern boundary of Hamilton.

PBT has leased 10,000 square metres for an initial period of 10 years, with rights of renewal. It will move in in September 2022 following the opening of the inland port, two 800m rail sidings, link roads and the Waikato Expressway, all scheduled to open earlier in that year.

TGH Chief Executive Chris Joblin said talks with other potential tenants are advanced.

“Tenant enquiry has noticeably accelerated following recent co-funding announcements for the construction of local roads, wetlands and other public infrastructure in partnership with the Government and Hamilton City Council,” he said.

PBT chief Dave Lovegrove said the Superhub’s location and road and rail links make it a natural centre of gravity for his network services to access the upper North Island region.

“We are planning ahead for growth and our initial 4,000 square metre logistics facility at Ruakura Superhub will be future-proofed for expansion,” he said.

Ruakura is amongst New Zealand’s largest developments, spanning industrial, commercial, retail and residential development areas.

It will be anchored by a 30-hectare inland port, and the first 17-hectare stage is being developed now by TGH and Port of Tauranga.

They announced a 50-50 joint venture earlier this year.

The Ruakura precinct is estimated to accommodate up to 12,000 jobs when fully developed in around 2060.

Ruakura deal sealed

Scott Bainbridge offered up a snapshot of his work when he spoke in Cambridge.

Young St John stars rewarded

By Viv Posselt

The penguins and cadets of St John Youth (Cambridge division) were recognised for their hard work over a difficult year at their recent awards presentation.

Among a slew of awards handed out was one to ‘Super Penguin’ Anusri Ragul. Not only did she achieve her Super Penguin award - the highest a

Hugging Primo the Penguin is the delighted recipient of the St John Super Penguin Award, Anusri Ragul. The award was presented by Penguin programme leader Sarah Rix (right), and watching on is St John Division Manager for Cambridge, Karena Rix.

St John penguin (ages 6-8) can achieve - but she also attained her First Aid Penguin Award. Anusri completed two of the nine badges required of her for the top award during lockdown.

Another top award went to Daisy Claridge, who was named the Cambridge Division Divisional Cadet of the Year for 2020. More awards are listed below.

The ceremony was held at Cambridge Elim Church in Leamington. Guests included Max and Dawn Highnman (Commander of the Order and Member of the Order respectively), Waipā District Deputy Mayor Liz Stolwyk, and the Rev Malcolm French, who is the St John Cambridge area chaplain and area committee chairman.

St John Division Manager for Cambridge, Karena Rix, said the penguins and cadets had worked hard to achieve their badges and certificates, with support from the leadership teams.

“We have had a very unusual year,” she said. “For a very long time, Covid-19 seemed to dominate our lives. There were many disappointments for us – camps and competitions cancelled, Grand Prior achievements delayed and promotions delayed. However, we managed to soldier on. I believe it has brought out the best of us as a division, as a community and as a nation.”

She also thanked parents and caregivers who had supported the youngsters.

Liz Stolwyk congratulated the penguins and

cadets for the good work they have done in the community. “We hope to see you again next year.”

Rev Malcolm French acknowledged Karena Rix’s leadership on behalf of the area committee, saying she had risen to the challenges presented

by Covid-19.

Anusri Ragul was thrilled with her Super Penguin Award – the highest in the Penguin programme.

NO PLANET B

Recycle: is it or isn’t it?

We had the annual work do at our house last week; and very pleasant it was too.

My boss organised the catering and so a van arrived at about midday with a load of food in various packages and containers.

We collected empty bottles in a crate and the rest went into the garage with everything else where it gets sorted on a Sunday night, in time to be put out for collection - if I remember to put it out.

This week I was sorting through the recycling and I found myself feeling dismayed by the sheer volume of waste which had been generated by our lunch.

There were large thick tin foil platters for the meats - not hardy enough to be kept, but substantial enough to make me feel decidedly uneasy about throwing them away.

Disposable cutlery, fair enough it was wood not plastic, but disposable nonetheless.

Any number of large plastic containers for the salads - and I couldn’t find a recycling symbol so I didn’t know whether to put them in the

By Peter Matthews

bin with the yellow lid or straight into the yellow rubbish bag.

The temptation is often to put ‘undecided’ stuff into the recycling bin anyway, on the pretence that I am doing the right thing. But does that mean that someone is only going to pull it out and chuck it in the landfill further down the track? And who pays for that person?

Or, worse, does the presence of ‘undecided’ stuff which is actually unrecyclable taint the whole bin? All of which defeats the object of trying to minimise landfill and maximise recycling.

So it is clear, and I think, understandable that we the consumers are perhaps not best placed to make those decisions. Anyway if I get it right one day you’ll get it wrong the next and vice versa so the whole system fails.

It might make more sense for the manufacturers and suppliers not to thrust these materials so readily into the consumersphere.

I understand the need for profit but do they not have a responsibility to be leaders in the quest for sustainability?

Anecdotally I have spoken to many people who will not buy mince pies and muffins from Countdown in Cambridge simply because of the excessive plastic packaging in which they are presented.

Six mince pies disappear in minutes but the tray persists for decades.

And single serve breakfast drinks where is the justification for that much waste?

Must we have such convenience?

That’s why we have a problem: Gratification now but the cost goes on for ever. Eat now pay later, and not just with your waistline.

I have left my “Only Planet” card at Countdown in Cambridge on three separate occasions in recent months with a request for the manager to call me to discuss this very issue.

Unsurprisingly, I have yet to receive a response but I will continue to leave my card there until I do. I’ll let you know what the response is when I get it.

FAITH IN WAIPĀ

Finding the peace of Christmas…

By Murray Smith, Senior Leader, Bridges Church

As a child I was intrigued in the company of an elderly great-uncle who was a soldier during World War One. He was a gentle man - quietly spoken howbeit somewhat remote. I was too young and naive to realise this stemmed from crushing, soul destroying experiences “Unkie” had witnessed on faraway killing fields of France from 1914 onwards.

He had joined other young New Zealand soldiers believing the idealistic myth of doing his bit for king and country in what was proposed would be a short-lived war.

Arriving home shell-shocked years later, Unkie’s demeanour and personality was very different from the vibrant young man who had left New Zealand shores. Evidently, enduring the sights, sounds and smell of multiplied battlefield horrors, altered him permanently.

“Unkie” rarely spoke about his experiences but what he alluded to was graphic enough to get the picture. Mostly he related fragments of traumatic experiences to my Dad who viewed his uncle as a hero.

One strangely incongruous story in the context of war, related to a Christmas truce that involved thousands of British, Allied and German troops clambering out of their trenches to meet in the 100 feet or so of “no man’s land” separating the two opposing trenches. In a series of widespread unofficial and impromptu ceasefires along the Western Front, a pause in fighting lasted through Christmas night, continuing until New Year’s Day in places. Although not universally observed, nor sanctioned by commanders on either side, nevertheless along two-thirds of the 30-mile (48-km) front controlled by the British Expeditionary Force, guns fell silent in a rare moment of

THE AGE OF REASON

What we learned in 2020

By Peter Carr

peace just a few months into a war that would eventually claim over 15 million lives.

On a frosty moonlit Christmas Eve, the allied troops heard the Germans singing carols prompting the allies to start up their own ‘O Come, All Ye Faithful’ to which the Germans immediately joined in singing the same hymn with their own words. The next morning, German soldiers emerged from their trenches, calling out “Merry Christmas” in English. Allied soldiers came out warily to greet them. In some sections, Germans held up signs reading “You no shoot, we no shoot.” Over the course of the day, troops exchanged gifts of cigarettes, food, buttons and hats. The Christmas truce also allowed both sides to finally bury their dead comrades, whose bodies had lain for weeks on “no man’s land.”

Informal ‘kick-abouts’ with makeshift soccer balls broke out but not organised games as legend might have us believe!

How was it that commemorating the birth of a baby born 2000 years ago, carried power to create a pause in battle where men gathered with one purpose - to kill one another?

The answer lies in who this baby was.

Christmas commemorates the birth of Jesus Christ. Among many titles, He is known as the ‘Prince of Peace.’

He is no ordinary man. He is the Christthe Messiah, Saviour.

Permanent peace is found in the discovery of who He is and in all He has done.

Moving towards the Christmas season it is perhaps timely to be reflecting on the year past – a year that has been full of surprises, difficulties, change. And a year upon which we can look back with pride as to how the nation has accepted that change and learned to live with several restrictions thrust upon us.

Clearly Covid is the main culprit but the very being of it amongst us has seen everyone pull in their horns – at least regarding travel and learn. To learn that treating one’s neighbour with respect, understanding and kindness is a longoverdue new norm. To learn that the simple action of rubbing your face can result in the spreading of germs when you then shake the (unwashed) hands of friends. To become accustomed to being told what to do by government officials for whom one perhaps did not previously have any regard.

To electronically sign in when visiting retail establishments.

We learned (at least we oldies did) to listen to, respect and act upon the suggestions and directions of a young political leader possibly at least 10 years younger than my own daughters. Who, day after day, stood resolute at a lectern in Wellington beseeching us to conform, fall into line and listen to those with scientific knowledge. To expect, daily, the measured tones of the senior medical official in the country – supported by the flame-haired biologist who most certainly did her homework And there was an obvious price of a nonfiduciary nature. A restriction in personal freedom. A gap appearing within families where the main contact is overseas. A marked change to how we will affect our Christmas interface with loved ones. An

appreciation that there is still much to see in our own country and that just setting foot on Australian soil is not, of itself, the pinnacle of social achievement as many would have it.

And sad examples of industries forced to shed staff when their regular income dwindled, and they could not rely further on government handouts – generous though they are. The nation cannot just keep on shelling out large dollops of freshly minted cash – the very creation of which has a longterm debilitating effect on the economy.

But reflect upon 3000 deaths each day in the USA. The UK in crisis mode gripped by over-full hospitals with an overlay of panic associated with the reducing success in the final Brexit trade agreement with the EU. And the swift grasping of straws that there may be instant salvation with the arrival of wonder drugs to be implanted in the arm. Where the official acceptance of these drugs at an alarming rate by a scientific bureaucracy - pushing aside what would normally take two years to peer review – reflects the hastily drawn-together panacea for halting the virus in its tracks.

Not wishing to sound like the Angel of Doom but be aware that with haste in the laboratory comes downside risk.

Morrinsville, cream of the country

M

orrinsville (Cream of the Country) is only 30mins drive from Cambridge and offers a quality range of accommodation, restaurants and eateries. Complimented by a full range of retail and other services.

The colourful range of cows in the town are dotted on street corners, outside businesses and are a truly magnificent sight to behold. It's literally "a must see" when you visit this wonderful town.

If art is your pleasure, stroll around the town and follow the “arts trail” of historic homesteads and buildings. The Matamata Piako District Council produced a "Heritage Trail" booklet and this is now available from the Morrinsville Information Centre.

The booklet covers the three towns of Morrinsville, Matamata and TeAroha.

A visit to the Wallace Art Gallery on Thames Street is a "must see" for all visitors. The continuous change of art exhibit's ensure repeat visits are essential.

Morrinsville also offer a variety of walks, along the river or around

the town. Take a relaxed stroll through recreation grounds, stop for a swim or a picnic. There are also a number other walks and bike tracks in the region.

Step back in time with a visit to the "Heritage Centre" located on Canada Street (opposite the library). Follow the story of Morrinsville and district to see how the town and community has developed over the years. A visit to the 'McDonald Cottage' built in 1873 is amazing. The Cottage was relocated to the new site and forms part of the Heritage Centre building.

Call in to the i-SITE Morrinsville Visitor Centre/AA Agency to find out what is on.

Tirau - many years ago, just a blink on the highway, how things have changed

O

nce a town all about antiques, but no more.

It has been over 2 years since the last antique store closed its doors, and a lot has changed. Location plays a huge part in Tirau’s continued success. Nestled between 3 major cities and main road to everywhere, a town with once a reputation for arts and locally made crafts. While these wee gems still exist, now the town has risen to meet the NZ market and strives to be different and charismatic in its own way. The town still maintains its grassy lawns and lovely big trees to give you a village feel. The shops are still capped at 150M in size to keep it varied and interesting. Yes, there are a lot of cafes, but you add retail shops into the mix and the two just work! So yes, do stop, grab your coffee, or stay for lunch, but be warned, you will see products like no other, you will leave feeling spell bound to come back again, and again.

Worth a look? You bet ya!

Lacrosse double for Middle

Cambridge Middle School have secured a rare lacrosse double by winning both the Girls A and Boys’ Divisions of the Waikato Lacrosse Intermediate School League for 2020.

In the Girls A Division, CMS Power won all their games by a margin of several goals.

In the finals, they completed the season with a convincing 15-2 win over Berkley Hawks.

“They played really well. I just tried to let them have fun while they were playing and let them play their own game,” Coach Aishlyn Lawton said.

CMS Power includes some of the first players to emerge from the Cambridge

Primary School League which was started two years ago. That may have been a contributing factor to their consistency and strength of play.

“A few did Primary School League, so their skill level is so much better than before as well as their understanding of the game,” Lawton said.

In the large Girls B Division, Matamata Blue proved to be the strongest team, winning the finals against St Peters Red 16-7.

In the Boys Division, CMS Titans emerged as overall winners after a close match with league favourites Morrinsville Cobalt. The Morrinsville side couldn’t seem to get a

foothold in the tight game, and Titans won 5-3.

In the Women’s Club League A Division semi-finals, Suburbs Falcons beat Kaipaki Phoenix by 13-8 and Cambridge TVP Titans downed Te Awamutu Sports Lions 16-9.

The Women’s Club League finals will be staged on Saturday at Tamahere Park.

Irishman pleases at Te Aroha, to be sure

Impressive debut winner The Irishman had a quiet trial at Te Aroha on Monday in readiness for a raceday return over the Ellerslie Christmas Carnival.

The Tony Pike-trained son of Tavistock

Promising three-year-old The Irishman Photo: Trish Dunell

won at first time of asking at Avondale over 1100m before finishing fifth to Shezzacatch in the Listed Sir Colin Meads Trophy (1200m) at Hawke’s Bay in September.

“He trialled up really well, he just went back from a wide gate and he’s rolled up nicely on the bridle,” Pike said.

“Leith (Innes, jockey) was really happy with the way he’s trialled, he’s had a good blow afterwards. If he pulls up well, we’ll probably head up to Ellerslie on Boxing Day for the three-year-old 1400m race (Listed Uncle Remus Stakes) or the Benchmark 65 1400m.

“We’ll just decide after that, probably one more run then into the Karaka Million 3YO Classic (1600m).”

Pike said the colt was relaxing more in his work and is looking more a Derby style of horse.

“Being out of a Zabeel mare by Tavistock we’ll definitely slowly be getting him up in trip,” he said.

“He’s entered for the Derby and if we’re happy with his form, that’s the way we’ll head.”

The Irishman finished alongside the Jamie Richards-trained Cool Aza Beel, who was stepping out publicly for the first-time since winning the Gr.1 Sistema Stakes (1200m) back in March.

Cool Aza Beel was also given a quiet trial under jockey Opie Bosson.

Meanwhile, Pike’s highly-touted two-yearold Khufu, who is $6.50 third favourite for the Karaka Million (1200m) was withdrawn from his trial at Te Aroha, where the track came up a Good3.

The son of American Pharoah was a trial winner at Ruakaka in September and is held

in high regard by a stable that knows how to produce a juvenile.

“We’re probably going to gallop him on Friday or Saturday, and he may trial on the synthetic at Cambridge.

“Then we’ll make a decision whether we run him on Boxing Day in a two-year-old 1100m race, the Eclipse Stakes (Gr.2, 1200m) on New Year’s Day or we may even give him just one run two weeks before the Karaka Million,” Pike said.

“He’s had a little hiccup with a hamstring and he’s too good a horse to push too hard but obviously he’s got that natural talent and natural ability so if he can’t win at Ellerslie two weeks before the Karaka Million, then it’s not worth putting him in the race.

“If he can do that, he’ll line up in it, he’s going to be a beautiful horse going forward.”

with Jan Bilton

A very veggie Christmas Two vegetarians are joining us for Christmas dinner and I’m delighted. Serving a selection of jazzy vegetable dishes is probably more satisfying for the cook than roasting a leg of lamb.

Black garlic (Garlic Noir) is a great source of curiosity and comment. It’s white garlic that has been given a low-heat treatment in a confined enclosure for 60 days. During that time the sugar levels increase to 60 brix (the sugar level in an aqueous solution), the garlic ‘ferments’ and becomes black. The texture is soft and smooth and the flavour a cross between balsamic vinegar and liquorice. It is available from many supermarkets and delis.

Black garlic can be roasted for a short time, or pan-fried, added to pasta sauces, sliced into salads, used as a garnish or even dipped in chocolate to serve as a coffee accompaniment. It provides umami (the fifth taste) to a mash!

I’m using Kiwi Quinoa in a lip-smacking Mexican salad to serve as a vegetarian main or a side for our festive meats.

The quinoa hails from Taihape where New Zealand’s first growers have been experimenting for five years. Kiwi Quinoa is wholegrain, unprocessed, spray-free and not polished which preserves its high nutritional value. It also has a delicious mild nutty flavour, is gluten-free and high in protein.

BLACK GARLIC MASH Something delicious on the side. I used Garlic Noir from Marlborough Garlic.

400g each: mashing potatoes, parsnips, peeled 1 teaspoon salt 50g butter 1 cup milk 1/2 cup black garlic cloves, chopped Garnish: 2 tablespoons chopped parsley 50-100g feta cheese, crumbled (optional) 2 cloves black garlic, diced Place the potatoes and parsnips in a saucepan of cold water.

Bring to the boil, add the salt and cover and cook until soft.

Meanwhile, gently heat the butter, milk and black garlic together for 5 minutes. Do not boil. Purée with a stick

Black garlic mash

Mexican quinoa

blender until smooth.

Drain the potato/parsnip mixture and mash until smooth.

Strain the hot liquid into the mash. Mix until smooth and light. Place in a serving dish. Top with the chopped parsley, feta cheese and diced black garlic. Serves 6-8.

MEXICAN QUINOA Want a really spicy dish? Don’t seed the chillies.

1 tablespoon olive oil 2 cloves garlic, crushed 1-2 long chillies, seeded and diced, 1 cup each: quinoa, vegetable stock, corn kernels 400g can black beans, drained and rinsed 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste 400g can cherry tomatoes, drained Topping: 1 avocado, halved, seeded, peeled and diced juice 1 lime 2 tablespoons chopped coriander leaves Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and chillies and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Rinse the quinoa under cold water. Stir into the pan with the stock, corn, beans, cumin, salt and pepper. Cover and simmer until the quinoa is cooked, about 20 minutes. Add a little more stock if too dry. Add the tomatoes and heat through gently.

Top with the avocado, lime juice and coriander just before serving. Serves 3-4 as a main or 6 as a side.

BROCCOLI LASAGNE I used 8cm x 14cm sheets of gluten-free no-boil lasagne.

1 medium onion, diced 1 tablespoon olive oil 2 cloves garlic, chopped 1 cup parsley leaves, chopped 400g broccoli florets, blanched 250g ricotta cheese 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese finely grated rind 1 lemon 200g fresh mozzarella, crumbled 2 cups passata 9 sheets no-boil lasagne Gently sauté the onion in the oil, until softened. Add the garlic and parsley and cook for 1 minute.

Place the crisp, cold broccoli and ricotta in a food processor.

Mix until smooth. Combine in a bowl with the onion mixture, parmesan, lemon rind and 1/2 the mozzarella.

Lightly grease a 26cm x 18cm baking dish. Spread a 1/2 cup of passata on the base.

Top with 3 lasagne sheets. Top with 1/3 of the remaining passata. Spread with 1/2 the broccoli/onion mixture. Repeat.

Top with the remaining lasagne and passata and sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella. The dish can be covered and refrigerated overnight.

Preheat the oven to 220°C. Place the room-temperature dish on a rimmed baking tray.

Cover tightly with foil. Bake for 20 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for another 20 minutes or until the top is golden. Rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serves 6 as a main.

in the Norfolk Pine near the Rose Garden in Thornton Road. It has become a veritable apartment block for sparrows; almost every branch has one if not two nests, with young birds shouting for food and parent birds coming and going Norfolk Pine constantly. Stand beneath its branches for a few minutes and witness what is happening up there.

This is not a true pine but a member of the genus Araucaria found across the South Pacific.

It has squat, globose cones about 12 cm long and 14 in diameter (photo left), which take 18 months to mature, releasing nut-like edible seeds. The Norfolk Pine is endemic to Norfolk Island, but land development means that even here it is now found mainly in the National Park.

However it is widely planted around the world in places with a Mediterranean climate. Enjoying deep sand and tolerant of salt and wind, it is popular in coastal situations like Marine Parade,

Napier, or the Esplanades of Busselton and Esperance in southern Western Australia. The most northerly specimen is probably on the island of Valentia off the southwest coast of Ireland. In Europe and North America it is usually grown as an indoor plant, and often used as a Christmas tree due to its symmetrical shape.

Its branches arise slightly obliquely from the trunk in regular whorls of five, forming ‘floors’.

From each main branch the branchlets curve upwards like fingers, creating the perfect place for birds to nest (photo right). Indeed in Australia there is a gull which does not even bother to build a nest but lays its egg directly on the branch - a Partridge in a Pear Tree?
