Use it properly, or lose it

Almost half the “recycling” put out by Waipā residents is heading straight to landfill. Contaminated recycling is proving to be such a major issue that the Waipā District Council is warning offending residents they will lose the service if they do not use it properly. Since lockdown, 13 households have had their service suspended due to ongoing contamination in their wheelie bins. The issue relates to residents placing incorrect items in their recycling bins. Council operations team leader Jennifer Braithwaite said that was costing up to $33,000 a month to deal with. She said contamination of both mixed and glass recycling had soared since lockdown and an average of 206 tonne of recycling was sent to landfill each month as a result. The issue was also raised late last year. “We’re seeing everything from bags full of rubbish to used medical products, needles, dog poo, dirty nappies and just last week dead fish coming through the sorting line. Other contamination such as car motor oil and other liquids have forced the closure of the production line for major clean-ups. “Items like these can contaminate an entire load of recyclable materials and force our contractors to send otherwise good recycling to landfill.” Costs to deal with contaminated recycling include transporting the material to landfill, disposing of it and the loss of revenue from otherwise good product which could have been sold on the recycling market. Braithwaite said Council’s recycling contractor made regular bin inspections across the district to try and manage contamination. Contaminated bins are stickered in the first instance and not collected. On the next collection drivers will check them again and if contamination is found, the property owners will be told their bin won’t be emptied.

Recycling staff are being confronted with rubbish rather than recycling. After a third offense, the property owners receive a letter from Council and service may be suspended to that property. Braithwaite said households with extreme contamination could face having their service removed permanently.” She said the Council needed the help of all residents to reduce contamination.

“This isn’t something we can achieve by ourselves. There are some fantastic recyclers in our communities who are doing a great job but there are others who knowingly and blatantly put stuff like rubbish, dirty nappies and car motor oil in their recycling bins and don’t seem to care about the effect this is having on the service.”

Waipā river rise work set to start Work on the Cambridge to Hamilton section of Te Awa River Ride will start before the end of the month – and it should be open before the end of the year. The Waipā section includes 3km long, 3-metre-wide concrete path, 1.4km of boardwalks, two bridges, drainage, culverts, landscaping and fencing alongside the Waikato River. The $5.92 million construction contract was awarded by Waipā District Council before the holiday close-down to Civil Construction Services, based in Cambridge. The project has received two major funding contributions of $2.95M from Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency and a $2.84M investment managed by the Provincial Development Unit, following the Council’s successful application to the Infrastructure Industry Reference Group for ‘Shovel Ready’ project funding during the Covid-19 level four lockdown last year. Waipā Council is also contributing $1.14M of loan-funded resource into the community asset. Mayor Jim Mylchreest said the new section would open up more economic, social, and wellbeing opportunities for local residents and visitors to the district. “Our district hosts many internationally competitive cyclists, and Cambridge has a keen appetite as a community for more commuting and recreational opportunities. The Te Awa River Ride is already so well used, this

additional section which takes people across farmlands and through the trees, will only enhance the outstanding asset it already is.” The full Hamilton to Cambridge section traverses three district boundaries. The Waipā section, between Banks Road and the Velodrome, will follow the Waikato River wherever possible. Jennifer Palmer, general manager of Te Awa River Ride Charitable Trust, said the final section of Te Awa would provide many benefits to the public. “Te Awa is already one of New Zealand’s busiest cycleways and cycling is soaring across NZ – having 60km of connected, off-road cycleway travelling through beautiful and diverse scenery has so many social and economic benefits for our region.” When complete, the cycleway will span 60km from Ngaruawahia, through Hamilton and Cambridge and finish at Horahora.

Letters… Square the leger

It was pleasing to hear Prime Minister Ardern praising New Zealand people for doing their best to curtail the Covid virus. The time has now come for the Prime Minister and the government to repay large numbers of the people because of the lack of adequate living standards. This means that all politicians will not just talk about living standards but will take immediate action to eradicate the problems. Ridiculously high rents mean that many families do not have enough finance to feed family members. All rents should be no more than 30 percent of the finance available to the household. Some time ago wages were available

at double time and time and a half regarding overtime. Now workers work all hours at a set rate. Overtime payment does not matter. Chief executive officers are paid huge salaries – in the millions of dollars – and frequently receive bonuses of several hundred thousand dollars. Overtime payment is important to them. Politicians should be using their power to ensure that people have happy lives with enough finance available to live adequately. Unfortunately, many politicians use their power to ensure that they themselves are very well provided for. Michael Cole Cambridge

On the beat

with Senior Constable DEB THURGOOD

Inside search and rescue This week I’m sending greetings to Te Awamutu as well as Cambridge readers and Constable Ryan Fleming is on annual leave. I thought I would take the opportunity to give you all an insight into one of the roles that our officers can undertake, in addition to their core Policing role. Constable Matthew Burke, based at Cambridge station, is part of the Police Search and Rescue (SAR) team. He has helped give me an insight into what he does and why he does it. Constable Burke thinks SAR is awesome, as you never know who you’re going to help next and where you might end up working. Each week in the Waikato Police, three officers ready to respond to a search and rescue event along with the many trained staff on duty. All SAR members take turns being on-call. When on-call, they have their Police cell phone with them 24-7. When a call comes in, you do not know what or where it could be. Examples of the types of job Constable Burke could be involved in range from a couple of walkers lost in the dark on Maungatautari or a person with dementia lost and walking around Hamilton, to a capsized boat off Port Jackson, Coromandel. The Summer months are traditionally the busy time of year, with more people outdoors enjoying the better weather. Last week Police were involved in 14 SAR Call outs of varying degrees. A lot of the time Police rely on the help of volunteer groups such as Coast Guard and LandSAR, to assist in locating and rescuing people. The majority of the time, Police will act as incident controller and conduct a search from a suitable location. In some instances, jobs can be resolved in a matter of hours, but there are situations where searches will go on for multiple days or weeks. Unfortunately, not all searches are successful and there is loss of life. SAR’s job does not stop there, they will keep working until a body is recovered and the identity is confirmed to the satisfaction of the coroner. In a lot of instances, a situation could be avoided if people were simply better prepared – if they took more supplies, had better equipment, and knew their capabilities, because when things go wrong, they can go wrong really fast. Constable Burke’s advice to you is when venturing out for a day walk or out on your boat, make sure you’ve got adequate supplies - not just for the time you’re out there, but in case the unexpected happens. Tell someone where you going and what time you’ll be back. On the water, have two forms of communication, VHF and cell phone. On the land, please have a charged cell phone or if you can, a personal locating beacon (these can be hired from Cambridge I-Site). Lastly, when you see a LandSAR, Coastguard or similar volunteer group working or fundraising, please give them your support or if you would like, find the nearest group and join up. You will learn a lot and meet some great people. Until next week, stay safe and be prepared! WE'RE LOCAL

Briefs… Property prices The Real Estate Institute of New Zealand says median house prices in the greater Waikato rose 17.4 per cent in the past year to $675,000. Ōtorohanga and Hauraki districts and Hamilton city achieved record highs – Ōtorohanga rose from $430,000 to $480,000 between November and December. Waipā’s media price rose in the year to December from $600,000 to $705,000. Rowers coming Lake Karapiro will host the North Island Rowing Championships – and an expected 2300 competitors from schools and club level - over four days starting on Friday next week.

Tops off… Waikato District Council says stricter controls are being put in place by processors who receive recycling from waste – and residents must now remove lids from plastic and glass containers. The lids are typically a different material, will contaminate glass and plastic recycling and can get stuck in moving machinery used to process recycled product.

Business chance Budding entrepreneurs living or working in the Waikato district will have the opportunity to attend a free 10-day business course in March. Waikato District Council and Ministry of Social Development is working together to bring the PopUp Business School Aotearoa to the Waikato district as part of its economic and social development initiative. For more information go to https://tinyurl.com/ WaikatoPopUp Water levels Waikato Regional Council chairman Russ Rimmington is signalling he want a ceiling placed on the volume of water Auckland may take from the Waikato River. The city now takes 175 million litres a day – and has tabled an application to allow it to take another 150 million more. Mr Rimmington said the Waikato region couldn’t give from the river endlessly after that.

Giltraps’ time to shed… By Viv Posselt

Wilfred Giltrap’s January 23 shed sale of vintage tractors, engineering machinery and tools marks a significant turning point in the life of a man whose name is woven into the fabric of New Zealand agriculture. The sale will effectively sign off on a large chunk of his life and signal the settling into another, more leisurely one in the Te Awa Lifecare home he shares with his wife Shirley. It seems, however, that there are reminders of his legacy around every corner. “A lot of people living here are ex-farmers,” he smiled. “They know all about our machinery,” Six decades have passed since a young Wilfred fostered his love of engineering on the Maihihi family farm near Ōtorohanga. In 1959 he started Giltrap Engineering with just one worker in tow. Today, around 200 employees operate across two separate arms of the company, Giltrap Agrizone and Giltrap Engineering, run respectively by son Andrew Giltrap, and daughter and

son-in-law, Belinda and Craig Mulgrew. From those early beginnings, when Wilfred dared not imagine such expansion, Giltrap has spread to the Pacific islands, New Guinea, Indonesia and Chile. Now, about half of the production from the engineering operation goes to Australia. There were many landmark ‘firsts’ along the way, among them the development of the successful wheel drive trailer and silage wagons built for feeding out to larger herds of stock. “The idea was to make about 15 feed wagons a year, but within two years we were making around 200.” It’s an enviable legacy, one rooted right here in the Waikato. Illness saw Wilfred step back from the day-to-day workings of the business in 2002 and he relaxed into a more hobby-driven rhythm of restoring vintage tractors. Now, he says the time has come to ‘thin stuff out’ – hence the upcoming sale at his recently-sold Maungatautari land near Karapiro, close to where the couple lived for 20 years

before moving to Te Awa 12 months ago. “I’ve decided the time is right to sell everything … reluctantly, of course. It’s quite a big step for me,” he said. It’s an equally big step for Shirley, who has toiled at Wilfred’s side throughout their marriage. Her early

training on Burroughs machines at the bank kicked in when she saw him wrestling with his accounts soon after they married. “There were six statements, spread out all over his desk. I said, ‘let me take care of those’, and had them done pretty quickly,” she smiled. “I’ve been doing the accounts

till I retired.” The sale from Wilfred’s 180 square metre shed this weekend will see 200 lots and five tractors go. It’s taking place at 983 Maungatautari Rd from 9.30am to 2.30pm on Saturday, January 23. For more information email him on w.giltrap@ gmail.com.

Doc gives possums the push

A successful pest control operation on Mount Pirongia will allow native wildlife there to flourish over summer, says the Department of Conservation (Doc). Predator control was carried out at Pirongia Forest Park last September with drops of 1080 over 14,000 hectares as part of Doc’s nationwide Tiakina Ngā Manu programme The work is part of long-term conservation efforts at the site, home to a huge range of forest birds, insects, lizards and plants including threatened species such as pekapeka (bats), kōkako and Dactylanthus—a rare parasitic plant. “Possum monitoring, before and after the control operation shows we’ve reduced the possums in the forest park, providing rata trees, Dactylanthus, kokakō and a multitude of other valuable New Zealand species the opportunity to thrive,” says Doc Biodiversity Ranger Cara Hansen. Monitoring by an independent contractor using leg hold traps spread throughout the forest park in the weeks after the Tiakina Ngā Manu operation drew blanks at all 240 traps checked over three nights.

Monitoring at the same site, undertaken in January 2020, showed 5.4% of the traps had caught possums – so about 13 would have been tempted by the baits before the drop. Cara Hansen said the figures demonstrated the value of Doc’s predator control operation and the detailed and lengthy planning and consultation. “The removal of possums — and other predators such as stoats and rats — at Pirongia

Possum numbers have dropped on Pirongia.

means the many forest bird species found there will be able to successfully raise clutches of chicks. Controlling predators also allows the forest canopy to recover, improving the forest’s health and providing important habitat for native species.” Over the last 25 years, Doc and a range of government and community organisations have undertaken extensive predator control and species protection efforts within and around Pirongia Forest Park. Monitoring at Pirongia over the past 20 years shows a downward trend of possum numbers and, through ongoing predator control work, there is an opportunity to maintain the benefits of keeping possum numbers down. Tiakina Ngā Manu contributes to Predator Free 2050 through the sustained control of introduced predators over large areas of conservation land to protect native species and forests until predators can be removed permanently. Cara Hansen said the calls of the kōkako, which had been successfully reintroduced by Pirongia Te Araroa o Kahu Restoration, could now be heard across the maunga.

Recycling change

Recycling calendars look a little different this year following a change to Waipā’s glass recycling service. There will be a dozen glass collections a year from households, down from 13 – because the demand for the service was lower than expected. There are no changes to the mixed recycling collection which occurs every two weeks, the same as in previous years. Waipā District Council operations team leader Jennifer Braithwaite said the initial contract for recycling had been tendered for 12 glass collections and 24 mixed yellow recycling collections but was increased to 13 glass collections once the contract was awarded to Council’s recycling contractor. But many households put their blue glass recycling bins out for collection less frequently than expected when the service was started in July 2019. “We had expected more frequent glass collection would be needed however, many households are finding they only need to place their bin out every second or third collection. “This means we often have drivers collecting barely any glass recycling on a number of their routes. We are effectively over servicing for glass recycling.” The changed means there will be one point in the year for all households where there would be six weeks in between collection dates. She encouraged residents to check their 2021 recycling calendars or the recycling day finder on the council website to ensure they put their bins out on the correct day. The change back to the original 12 collections per year will save Council more than $25,000 a year. each year. Extra savings are now used to help cover the increasing cost of sorting mixed and glass recycling. “This is a major issue we are facing at the moment but are working to tackle it through increased bin inspections and education efforts for our community.” For further details go to www.waipadc.govt.nz/recycling.

THE AGE OF REASON

Bliss, while the word goes mad By Peter Carr

By virtue of wandering around the North Island over the early part of January we have been able to interface with many Kiwis enjoying both their country - and the glorious weather that never seemed to cease. Sweltering afternoons, covering up those fragile areas, ensuring the ice cube container stayed stocked, cricket with the kids on the lawn, the squeals of even younger ones in the surf – and the longed-for return to summers that most remembered from their younger days. Picking fruit at the roadside, the chimes of the ice-cream van in a coastal settlement, digging large ‘sit-in’ holes for hot water, real fish and chips of the non-city variety where the fish is, actually, both local and fresh. All this potpourri of enjoyment was layered with lingering outside in the evening to appreciate the cooler air, time to actually fully read (and sometimes enjoy) the morning paper, decisions needed to declare the preference of salads with the never-ending slices of ham in the fridge, sand in your toes – also layered with spending really useful time with the grandchildren. No school pressure, no alternative recreation – just an abundance of free time to appreciate and understand each other more deeply. In case you think I am going a little away from my mainstream theme of taking an interest in those of a more advanced age, well, I was, For the sight of three generations of families was everywhere. Grandpa looking for a quiet corner, grandma showing teenage (and younger) off-spring how to create culinary masterpieces, the middle generation appreciating that they did not need to spend all day hankering to the wishes of their phone-clutching children. God was in his heaven and there was peace in the world. At least that part of the world that holds dearly onto the landscape and sea-girthed

boundaries of Aotearoa. Somewhere, but who cared where, there was conflict even without the COVID virus strains. The United States was developing into a cesspit of ridiculous internal bloody-minded conflict. The UK, led by amazingly inept politicians, was fighting what appeared to be a losing battle at the doors of their National Health System. India was becoming the epicentre of vaccination production but siphoning off the front end of supply to ensure that they could look after their own. Who can blame them? And airlines were ceasing services – or at best the more direct ones – thus ensuring those who really wanted to fly had elongated journeys timewise. It all seemed a long way away from the gentle sound of willow hitting leather on sun dappled grass-topped grounds and the superb escalation of the Black Caps to new and glorious international heights. And a high number of charter planes flying direct to Melbourne to permit the escape of their precious racquet-wielding passengers from a portion of appropriate lockdown. Who cares? There is still a cold beer in the fridge, the sun will still come up in the morning and the pension will be in the bank next Tuesday. But if there is a message here in ‘NuZelan’ let it be this. There is an appalling number of people who are not following the government’s dictum to use their phones to register with the yellow-ringed code at the door of every business in the land. We know who you are. I have no doubt that people will be publicly ‘called and shamed’ soon as those that do abide to keep the country safe watch the ridiculous uncaring attitude of what used to be intelligent people.

Poppy’s book is food for thought By Viv Posselt

Several months after publishing a book chronicling her secret struggle with an insidious eating disorder, Poppy Wortman knows her decision to tell her story was worth it. She launched the book, entitled ‘The Tale of Poppy and Ed’ – Ed referring to eating disorder – at the Avantidrome on December 8. She was distinctly nervous on the night, unsure of how its confronting message would be received. Anyone knowing Poppy is familiar with her bubbly personality and go-getter approach to life as a writer, global adventurer, yoga teacher and marriage celebrant. Hesitancy isn’t a natural fit with her. Fast forward to early January, and Poppy was into her second print run, with around 400 books sold and plans well advanced for stocking the book beyond its current distribution through Cambridge Paper Plus and via the online Best Little Bookstore. “The number of those reaching out after reading the book has truly astounded me,” she said. “My reason for writing and publishing it was to bridge the misunderstanding gap … the messages I have received from family members of someone struggling, or from those struggling themselves, has made it wholeheartedly worth it.” Poppy was driven to write her story when in treatment for the disorder in 2015. It had been intended for her eyes only, something that might help her understand herself and what she was

going through. Two things sparked her decision to put her story out there. “One was a friend of mine who committed suicide. I’ve never been at that point myself, but there were a few times during treatment where it crossed my mind it would be easier to die than to be in my own Ed-riddled head.” She hoped the book might help others facing a similar dilemma. The second catalyst was a call for help from a family with a daughter going through the same thing. She saw their desperation and recognised her younger self in the girl’s struggles. Poppy now knows the prevalence of eating disorders and recognises the importance of finding pride in the fight rather than shame in the affliction. She talks candidly of her boundless efforts to disguise her disorder and remembers the moment when it all started– a primary school maths lesson that involved the pupils weighing themselves. Twenty years on, that moment still fills her with dread. “I was eight. I should’ve been running around in a bikini with no thought to my slightly protruding belly. I should’ve been eating Goodygoody-gum-drops ice cream with gusto, not lying awake at night wracked with guilt from having consumed it.” Now recovered, but cognisant of unhealthy thoughts when they creep in, Poppy wants to urge those similarly afflicted to reach out for help. “An ill, diseased mind is another part of the body that’s not functioning as it should … it needs care to get it going again.” Poppy Wortman signing a copy of the book she wrote about her life-threatening eating disorder.

In our household I’ve been instrumental in five teenagers obtaining their driving licenses. It’s a duty of care I think for parents to ensure kids learn to drive responsibly. And that entails correction…that’s why it’s called driving ‘instruction’. Life is full of things responsible parents ought to teach their kids, guiding by words and actions, shaping their values and understandings in ways that will in turn shape their behaviours and hopefully see them become caring mature adults. With respect to driving, it would be parental negligence to just throw kids a set of car keys when they turn 16 years of age, telling them, “you’ll figure it out!” Yet sadly some parents adopt such an approach in many important areas of life. In my family, driving lessons provided unforgettable experiences sitting there - your health and safety entrusted to a teenager. Learning to drive a manual car had some benefits and makes driving an automatic a breeze. Once, trundling along in a little Morris 1100 on a 100km per hour road, it came time to change down through the gears approaching an intersection. Somehow my ‘student’

managed to shove the gear stick from fourth into first gear - instead of third. Mechanically, the poor little car somehow survived the grinding halt that nearly catapulted us through the windscreen! Another of my driving protegés was lining up traversing the narrow ‘high bridge’ in Cambridge. It’s challenging for seasoned drivers and my learner driver had a panic attack and floored the accelerator to get off the bridge as soon as possible. We careened across the span terrifyingly out of control despite my ‘admonishments’ to slow down! I accidentally “pocket dialed” someone in the angst of rocketing over the bridge. The recorded message of my ‘animated instructions’ created much mirth later. Learning road rules or abiding by any laws we are under obligation to observe in our land, carries the intention of protecting us. Good law provides boundaries designed to keep all people safe. But currently there’s potentially troubling laws under discussion within our country that ought to concern us as to the real intentions and outcomes we could face. The “Hate Speech” legislation being formulated within our government,

MORTGAGE MATTERS

Free Up Your Cashflow

By Gavin Lynch – Yes Mortgages

Struggling with high interest rates on short term debts such as hire purchases, credit cards or personal loans?? THEN MAYBE YOU SHOULD CONSIDER DEBT CONSOLIDATION. What is debt consolidation? It’s the combining of several short term debts incurring high interest rates into one loan at a lower rate of interest. Who should consider debt consolidation? If you own your own home you can consolidate your short term debts into one loan by taking out a new mortgage against your house which is sufficient to pay off all the smaller debts. Remember - the cheapest money you can borrow is generally housing interest rates with your mortgage. What are the benefits of debt consolidation?  You have only one repayment each month.  You have to meet the repayment criteria of only one lender - your bank.  Your overall interest rate will be lower - compare 4.25% on your mortgage with up to 22% on your credit card debt.  The length of your term can be structured to suit your needs. Let me give you an example:A short term debt of $30,000 made up of two hire purchases, two credit cards and a personal loan may cost $1,200 per month in repayments. Consolidate this debt into a home mortgage and the repayments will come down to approx $180 per month over a 30 year term. Pay $580 per month over a five year term and the repayments are reduced by more than half and the $30,000 debt can be paid off in full in five years! If you would like to talk about consolidating debt, please call me at Yes Mortgages on 823 4531 or 021 783 266.

while well intended to protect people from being victimised, discriminated against or attacked in speech, writing or behaviour, on any basis such as religion, ethnicity, nationality, has bothersome aspects. Implementing such law while ‘protecting’ some, completely mutes ‘freedom of speech’ for others. It’s a valid question “will hate speech law become a device to silence any view at variance with what government legislates as appropriate?” It’s in the same lane as proposed ‘anticonversion laws’ which would forbid the mere hint of anyone- be they a counsellor, teacher, pastor or trained professional, appearing to offer anything other than endorsement of someone questioning their sexual identity as they ponder heading down the pathway of ‘changing gender.’ Surely the duty of care we have in teaching kids to use a car responsibly extends to making good decisions in every area of life? In my view being prevented from offering caring, loving objective advice due to it being the prosecutable offence of ‘hate speech,’ is the crime in itself.

Charity knitting reaps rewards

NO PLANET B

By Viv Posselt

Hello and welcome to 2021

A DVD showing the delight with which impoverished Eastern European orphans receive goods sent over by Cambridge’s Operation Cover-Up (OCU) will be shown on February 4 as the group kicks off its 2021 activities. The footage shows children hugging their new knitted blankets and running excitedly after basketballs that spill out of their delivery van. The idea of the screening, says OCU committee member and rare male knitter in their midst Dennys Smith, is to let people involved in the group know just how much their efforts are appreciated, and to call on more people to swell their ranks in 2021 Adding their voices to the message are Dennys’ wife Pat and long-time co-committee member and Cambridge group founder, Isobel Middlemiss. The latter resigned from her leadership role last year, and is now its patron. Operation Cover-Up started when Taupo’s Liz Clarke and her friend Stella Halstead publicised the need for people to provide knitted blankets and clothes to help Eastern European orphans get through the freezing winters. She knew of their plight through her sponsorship of a child through the international charity, Mission Without Borders, and it is through that organisation that OCU continues to distribute goods to Moldova, Romania, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Albania and Croatia. No longer limited to blankets, they also

This morning, on the last day of our holiday, I had a slight shift of perspective. I was sitting up in bed with a cup of tea gazing through the trees, across the lawn, and over Lake Rotorua. We stayed at a lovely property once owned by a very well known NZ doctor / thug / interplanetary fighter and host to many even more well known beautiful party-goers who would arrive at the Hefner-style pool and cabana by helicopter. That didn’t faze me though - I’m used to hobnobbing with the rich and famous; I can see the colour of the pilot’s shirts as the choppers pass my office window on their way in and out of the large business just across the road from our house. I can almost see the clouds of carbon dioxide swirling around the incredibly loud motors as they pass. On those days I can’t help wondering whether there is any point riding my bike in to work. I could cycle to work every day for a decade and the benefit of that to the planet might be wiped out by a quick trip to the bach. Oh well, I guess we all work to our own conscience, and no - of course I’m not jealous, how could you think such a thing? As I drove home from Rotorua in a car I’ve owned for thirteen years, I glanced nervously every thirty seconds at the engine light which has started to flicker. The nice people at the workshop tell me it is probably the transmission causing the light to come on and when that has to be fixed it is going to cost multiples of what the car is worth - but that’s

send clothes, school stationery, soap, toothbrushes and sports equipment – hence the delighted response to the basketballs. In 2001, Isobel Middlemiss picked up the story in Cambridge. “I belonged to Mission Without Borders,” she explained, “and when I heard about what Liz was doing, I felt it was what I was supposed to get involved in.” Together with her husband James, they purchased knitted garments from op-shops, unpicked them, accessed more wool and found knitters wherever they could … and so the Knitters and Natters were formed, something that continues today. There were 60 blankets on their first annual display all those years ago, now there are hundreds. Pat and Dennys were early members. They have helped take the Knitters and Natters into resthomes around the area, but natural attrition and people moving

away means their numbers often need a boost. The group meets at the Baptist Church lounge in Cambridge’s Queen St on the first and third Thursday of every month, from 1.30pm to about 3pm. Good company and a cup of tea is promised, alongside the rhythmic clatter of needles. “People don’t need to know how to knit,” said Dennys, “we’ll teach them, and we provide the wool and needles.” He’s keen to get younger knitters and even blokes interested, working on the basis of having knitted himself since he was a lad and based on the premise that ‘anything women can do, men can do just as well”. Those keen to know more should show up on February 4, watch the DVD to give them a handle on what it’s all for and take it from there.

another story. Anyway back to my shift of perspective. Staring mindlessly across the lake I saw a flock of seagulls (they probably partied at the cabana back in the day) angling through the view and I wondered why there weren’t more of them. Idly, my mind went through a series of thoughts: ‘there must be as many of them as the local ecosystem will support’, ‘do they have predators?’, ‘are they short of food?’, ‘what about the effect of humans?’. See what happened there? I fell into the popular misconception that we humans exist somehow outside the ecosystem. Of course we don’t; the only reason humans are, for the time being, at the top of the food chain is that some bright spark a hundred thousand or so years ago worked out how to make an arrow head, or perhaps it was all triggered by the person seems like an incongruously modern term for an advanced primate - who lit the first (intentional) fire? Of course the point is that the human race is part of, not in charge of, a self-correcting ecosystem and we can either work with it or against it. And so I resolve to maintain a more realistic perspective, the seagulls exit scene-left and there goes a helicopter.

Bottoms up for finalists By Viv Posselt

Cambridge’s purple-clad Fat Bottomed Girls & Guys New Zealand are finalists in Sport Waikato’s 2020 Sport and Active Recreation Awards. They have secured a spot alongside two other finalists in the competition’s Outstanding Active Space Initiative category; the others are Hamilton’s Melville Skate Park upgrade and Taupo’s Spa Park Dirt Jumps. Winners will be announced on the Sport Waikato Facebook page at around 6pm next Thursday. Sure to be watching are the admin mum and daughter duo, Hayley and Joanne Todd. They have been members almost since the group started nearly four years ago, and not long afterwards took up the administrative mantle. They have succeeded in growing membership from 40 in the first year to around 90 at the moment. The group was once known solely as the Fat Bottomed Girls, but the recent addition of a couple of blokes has seen the moniker change

to Fat Bottomed Girls and Guys NZ. Members meet regularly throughout the week during the active March to October months, and then on a more casual basis during the summer break. Some of them stride the 40 local walks, or sections, for fitness, others for fun – most for a bit of both. “It’s very much a social group,” explained Hayley, saying that members meet up as and when they prefer to walk a range of distances. Joanne said many opt to complete what is called the Urban Challenge during the active months. “That requires a member to complete every one of the 40 sections at least once during that time,” she said. Sections are roughly 5-6km – members can also opt to do half sections, she said. Twentyeight of the 90 members completed the challenge last year, with one of their number covering about 1000km. The group shows up at regular events, always resplendent in their purple t-shirts and usually walking as their beloved theme song – Queen’s ‘Fat Bottomed Girls’ – is belted out as

Flavours

with Jan Bilton

Stink-free seafood

When I was a kid, a holiday highlight was catching snapper from the family dinghy. It’s been a long time since I last enjoyed that summer pleasure but I will always remember that delicious taste of the sea. And a sea-fresh smell is what fish should have when you purchase it. ‘Stinky’ seafood will simply ruin a good dish. If you unwrap fish and have to take a step backwards then more often than not it should be tipped out. However, even fresh fish may be a bit smelly. To alleviate the problem, first wash the fish in cold water, pat dry, then soak in milk for 30 minutes. Ensure it’s patted dry before using. This will also help reduce cooking smells. Frying fish in summer encourages squadrons of flies to visit your kitchen or barbecue so choose cooking methods carefully. This prevents the bedrooms and the rest of the house smelling like the back of a bad takeaway shop. I often wrap seafood in foil together with fresh herbs and slices of lime to bake or barbecue; or douse in spices, wrap in waxed paper then microwave; or tuck into a casserole or frying pan of summer vegetables such as a ratatouille. MOROCCAN FISH STEW Great served topped with fresh coriander or mint. 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 large onion, thinly sliced 1 clove garlic, crushed 1 tablespoon grated root ginger 1 teaspoon each: ground cumin, turmeric, chilli paste 400g can plum tomatoes, broken up 1 cup water 400g can chickpeas, drained and rinsed 500g firm white fish fillets

Moroccan fish stew

2 teaspoons honey flaky sea salt and black pepper to taste Heat the oil in a large non-stick pan. Sauté the onion on medium until softened. Add the garlic, root ginger and spices and stir for 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes, water and chickpeas. Simmer for 10 minutes. Cut the fish into serving-sized pieces. Add to the pan and poach for 5 minutes, until almost cooked. Add the honey and warm through for 2-3 minutes. Season. Serve in bowls topped with coriander or mint. Serves 4. SMOKED FISH PASTA SALAD Quick and easy to prepare in advance. 150g pasta shells or fusilli, cooked 1 cup fresh or frozen sliced green beans 300g moist skinned and boned smoked fish 1 each: red or yellow capsicum, spring onion, diced

12 pitted Kalamata olives Dressing: 1/2 cup each: mayonnaise, sour cream 1/4 cup chopped parsley 1 teaspoon each: chopped garlic, prepared English mustard Cook the pasta according to the packet instructions. Add the beans during the last 3-4 minutes of cooking. Drain well and cool. Flake the fish and arrange in a bowl with the vegetables, olives and pasta. Blend the dressing ingredients and add to the salad. Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours before serving. Serves 6. MUSSELS WITH SUMMER SALSA Serve as a starter or as part of a seafood

platter. 1kg cooked mussels in their shells Summer Salsa: 1 cup finely diced yellow peach, rock melon or pawpaw 3-4 tablespoons each: chopped coriander leaves, lime juice pinch each: salt, sugar 1 teaspoon seeded, finely diced chilli Remove one half shell from each mussel. With a sharp knife, cut the piece holding the mussel to the remaining shell. This makes them easier to eat. Combine the ingredients for the salsa. Just before serving, spoon the salsa over each mussel and arrange on a serving plate. Serves 4-6 as a starter.

DESIGNED WITH FAMILY IN MIND

AUCTION

A home of fantastic proportions. Built in 2018 and well-positioned on a 1592m² section. There has been no compromise on the practicalities of family living here. If a spacious four bedroom plus office home, in a sought-after location, is what you imagine your family living in, then look no further. The three living areas are also sure to please. The kitchen is well designed and works perfectly for the chef in the family – with plenty of storage for all those appliances. Décor throughout is neutral with the odd wallpaper feature wall which gives the home a lot of personality. The master bedroom has the essential walk-in robe and a very spacious ensuite complete with a bath and large shower. Two bedrooms at the rear of the home are further enhanced by the third living area which also has access to the rear garden area. The perfect retreat for teenagers, elderly family members, or even BnB guests. Plenty of options for all family situations. Phone Debbie Towers and Trevor Morris on 027 689 8696 or 027 205 3246 for more information.

Silver for new club 24 | CAMBRIDGE NEWS

THURSDAY JANUARY 21, 2021

A fledgling waka ama club formed on the shores of Lake Karāpiro just three years ago has picked up its first medal at the Te Wānanga o Aotearoa national waka ama sprint champs. The Midget W12 mixed boys and girls crew from Karāpiro Waka – formed by Ngāti Koroki Kahukura in 2017 – finished second in the Cup final on Monday, marking the first competition success for the club at its first appearance at the national champs. The club was formed after regatta sponsors Te Wānanga o Aotearoa signed a memorandum of understanding with the iwi and ran its year-long Level 4 Certificate in Waka programme for about 25 iwi members at Lake Karāpiro, the venue for this week’s national champs. Ngāti Koroki Kahukura – with marae at Maungatautari and Pōhara – are the hau kainga (home people) of the regatta. Karāpiro Waka co-chair Lee Ann Muntz says the club was given two waka from Waikato-Tainui and had received massive support from Te Toki Voyaging Trust and others at the nationals. “All the other clubs here are with us,” she says. With around 100 mostly young members, the club aims to grow slowly and entered four junior crews in their first attempt at the national champs. The Midget W6 girls crew qualified for the championship semi-finals, the Midget W6 boys made the cup final and combined to win silver in the Midget W12 cup final. The J16 W6 girls’ and boys’ crews gained good experience but were eliminated in the heats of their competition. Lee Ann says much of the club’s early

success is down to passionate coach Laurie Tauroa. Along with training the junior crews, Laurie also stores the waka at his home and hauls them to and from the lake and their training venue at Epworth, further up the Waikato River. “We don’t have a base so that’s what
