A columnist with currency
By Viv Posselt
New columnist Peter Nicholl is a home-grown international economist with the rare knack of turning ‘money chat’ into something universally palatable. It is exactly that gift that the former Cambridge High School student and sportsman will bring to his monthly columns. His first one, featured this week, focuses on interest rates - what they mean and how they impact our lives. His second, he said, will look at bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. Penning a monthly piece on topical financial issues and how they tie in with global economies signifies a different pace for the genial septuagenarian; he is more accustomed to travelling the world, consulting on gritty international economic matters. “I’m very open to doing this now. Besides, Covid-19 has seriously curtailed what I can do internationally, and while I’m still in touch with people abroad, I am not going anywhere soon.” Peter believes it is important to
understand that what happens in the global economic sphere often impacts us all, and his rural Waikato roots, which served him well throughout his career, make him uniquely qualified to deliver this message in this neck of the woods. It is that very ‘neutral New Zealand-ness’ that gave him an advantage when he was appointed by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to work in Bosnia, knitting together the requirements of three local vicegovernors – one Bosniak, one Croat and one Serb - all seeking different outcomes. It put him at the centre of 76 banks servicing 4.5 million people, effectively juggling 16 houses of parliament and 167 ministers at varying levels. It was the greatest challenge of his banking career. Peter had worked for the Reserve Bank of New Zealand for 22 years, including as deputy governor, before moving to the US to take on the role as executive director with the World Bank Group in Washington DC. It was at the end of that term that he was invited to deliver the Central Bank of Bosnia and Herzegovina out of its post-war chaos and transform the country’s banking system. “It was an extraordinary time. They put labels on people but couldn’t find one for me. That’s why I was able to do what I did.” Peter’s success at turning their banking system around following the breakup of Yugoslavia in the 1990s saw him granted citizenship in 2002, principally to enable him to stay on longer. His work in Bosnia netted him a QSM in 2006. None of it was really planned, he said. “I left New Zealand to spend about two years overseas … that turned into 20 years. I came back here five years ago.” Covid has added another dimension to global economics, he added. “There are changes happening everywhere. We are seeing economic power shifting from the west to Asia … there is a lot bubbling away under the surface. It is going to be a very interesting time.” See Peter’s first column today on Page 9.

On the beat
with Senior Constable DEB THURGOOD
The basics of burglary prevention Hello February! It seems hard to believe that a month of 2021 has passed already. This week I’m starting with another reminder to report, report, report. I recently again saw a post on a Facebook community page where the writer was advising an item had been stolen from her property, giving the perpetrator a chance to return it and threatening to hand CCTV to police if they didn’t. My view on this is that thieves rarely steal just one thing. Ok, perhaps the culprit in this case did have a sudden, one off need for the item and having stolen it, felt bad enough to consider returning it if s/he saw the post. But perhaps more likely, they are someone who has stolen on other occasions and will go on to do so again. Perhaps they were not local to the area, were just visiting and haven’t seen the post. Perhaps by the time I am writing this column, they have on-sold the stolen item and are looking for their next item. If the first more hopeful scenario is true, reporting it to Police will ensure that the person is held accountable. If the writer got the item back, it may be the case that the culprit could get a verbal warning not to do it again. The CCTV however may identify the culprit as a seasoned burglar already known to police, who should be prosecuted for this as well as other offending. Going onto private property without authority and with the intent to commit a crime (for example steal something) is burglary. No matter how kind-hearted you wish to be, it is important to report all such crime to police first, before any Facebook commentary. And on the topic of burglary, just a reminder of some prevention basics that will help keep our burglary statistics down. Keep doors and windows locked when you leave home and even if you are in another part of the house, or the back garden. Trim shrubs back away from the house so that no one can use them as cover while they jemmy open a window. Prune trees so that they are clear up 2m from the ground or kept low so that they don’t obstruct lines of sight. Install stays on windows and especially those windows through which a person could reach their hand to unlock a door. Position cat doors so that you cannot reach through and up to unlock the door handle above, or install a secondary key only lock. If possible, install a house alarm. They reduce the chance of your house being the easy target in the street and if your house is entered and the siren sounds, it causes an offender to flee rapidly, rather than having time to search all rooms in the house to maximise their theft. Lastly, get to know your neighbours. Your neighbours are the best guardians for your house as they inherently get to know your regular patterns, cars that fit that pattern (and those that don’t) and can keep an eye out for anything suspicious. Join Neighbourhood Support at www.safercambridge. co.nz. Enjoy your Waitangi weekend. Cheers, Deb.

Briefs… Fire restrictions
The Waikato district has moved to restricted fire season. The restrictions cover all of the Waikato, Waipa, Ōtorohanga, MatamataPiako, Hauraki, Waitomo, and South Waikato District Council boundaries. Principal Rural Fire Officer Matt Cook said anyone in or visiting the Waikato must apply for a permit to light an outdoor fire.
Top 10
Website booking.com has placed Cambridge seventh in a top 10 list of New Zealand’s most welcoming towns. It also announced more than 7000 Traveller Review Awards to its New Zealand partners – including Cambridge’s Henley Hotel and Applecross Sanctuary.
Organisers of Waipā’s popular Ride Cycling Festival say this month’s timing for the 2021 event could not be better. The popularity of cycling is on the rise – and in the last month plans to complete the Te Awa cycleway from Waipā to Hamilton have been firmed up. The third annual festival runs from February 11 to 14 and offers opportunities to participate in a range of cycling events and see New Zealand’s best cyclists competing
in the Vantage Elite Road National Championships. Last year’s elite event produced what was considered some the best racing in recent memory, and both the women’s and men’s road races came down to the final sprint on Queen Street in Cambridge. The Festival will again showcase the best of New Zealand cycling including the Elite, Under 23s, and for the first time, the Under 19 Age Groups. The event also includes the
New Zealand Gran Fondo – a participation event which is expected to draw well over 500 riders across the three ride distances – 18km, 67km and 103km. Event Director Nicky Bowden says the festival exists to inspire and promote cycling as part of an active lifestyle through the improvement of health and wellbeing initiatives. “It aims to inspire and connect people from all walks of life to ‘Ride to Thrive’. The event has developed a campaign to reward people,

Debut single
Artists and former Cambridge High School student Ella Glannaz, a familiar face when she spent summers working at Paddock Café, releases her debut single Upbeat tomorrow under the name Elleio. The release precedes her EP, The Diary of a Fruit Loop due out later this year.
Tracks to close
Tracks in the Hakarimata Range will be closed for upgrades this month. The work will require temporary closures of the Southern Hakarimata-Waingaro Link on the Hakarimata Walkway and the Waterworks Walk, which leads into the Hakarimata Summit Track.
Masons donation
Readers are invited to join Waipā District Mayor Jim Mylchreest at next Tuesday’s Waipā Masonic Lodge 10.30am morning tea in Sloane St, Te Awamutu. The event has been organised around the presentation of a $4300 cheque from Waipā Lodge to the ‘Casting for Recovery’ team to cover the costs of a weekend retreat they organise at Wharepapa for women with breast cancer.
When Ing Iadpluem (centre) found herself marooned in New Zealand thanks to Covid over the summer holidays, she found a novel way to make the most of it. Ing, from Thailand, is an avid golfer at the St Peter’s Golf Academy and a Year 12 student. She decided to create her own golf clothing and jewellery range and launched her products at the Cambridge market last weekend. With positive feedback from her first outing, she has plans to expand her business, which is aptly named Look ING Good. Her products can be found on Instagram Look.ing_good.
Bridge debate brews The woman behind a social media postings criticised by the Waipā District Council is standing by her actions. Brenda Stamp raised question on a private Facebook page - www.facebook.com/ groups/205170514466850 - about the safety of the high level bridge in Cambridge. The Facebook page has 170 followers. Following the publication of a statement from the council in last week’s news she told facebook followers she was disturbed “that the WDC did not avail themselves of the opportunity to correct any of those ‘claims’ so that the public could be better informed”. She then posted an email she had sent on the issue to Mayor Jim Mylchreest and
councillors. Brenda Stamp has argued that she cannot understand how anyone can say the bridge is safe if it has not had a full and comprehensive inspection. In last week’s News the council said inaccurate assumptions had been drawn from three council reports about the condition of the bridge pins, deck and its supporting structure. Council transportation manager Bryan Hudson said the overall condition of the bridge had been assessed as being in fair to good condition and “we do not have any immediate concerns about the deck but recognise it as a long-term issue to address.”

‘Good’ rubbish goes to landfill Waipā residents send most of their recyclable rubbish to landfills, a new report reveals. An audit of trash was carried out by the Waipā District Council last October of 253 randomly-selected households on 44 streets in Waipā. The results show 55 per cent of items thrown into household rubbish bins could have been diverted from landfill. Food made up the largest portion of waste at 36.6 per cent - households surveyed threw away an average 3.6kg of food each week. “We found a lot of meat, bread and fresh fruit and vegetables, as well as some perfectly good items like chocolate, crackers and biscuits,” Council’s waste minimisation officer Sally Fraser said. Contractors hand sorted rubbish piece-by-piece before separating items into categories and weighing them. According to the results, Waipā households are throwing 1.4kg of plastic into their rubbish bins each week – almost 15 per cent of all rubbish thrown out. “Some plastics are harder to avoid, but we found that 21 per cent of plastics people are throwing away could have been recycled – like plastic types 1, 2 and 5,” Sally Fraser said. Each household is also throwing away 1.3kg of garden waste and organic material. “This makes up around 13.6 per cent of all waste, most of which could be composted at home,” she added. “Waste audits are critical because they allow us to see which areas we should be focusing on to try to reduce waste as a district and get good recyclable materials out of the rubbish.” She said the rubbish bin should be the last option when residents are considering what to do with their waste. “When we talk about throwing things away, there is no ‘away’ – it just goes to a landfill in New Zealand.” The council will continue run home composting, worm farm and bokashi workshops, promoting food sharing groups and supporting projects that target avoiding waste through its Waste Minimisation Community Fund. Councils are required to complete a solid waste audit at least once every three years by the Ministry for the Environment. Personal information is not recorded.

Stay safe over Waitangi weekend
Waitangi Weekend is the perfect time to get away with the family to the beach or the lake, and ACC is urging Waipā residents to take around the water this weekend. Data from Water Safety NZ shows there have been 10 drownings already in 2021, and four were in the Waikato. There have also been two in Canterbury and the others in Auckland, Bay of Plenty, Hawke’s Bay and Otago. Nine of the 10 deaths were male. Four drownings happening at surf
beaches, three at lakes, two at rivers, and one in a pond. ACC Injury Prevention Leader Kirsten Malpas says it is important to assess the risks and make smart decisions around water. “We advise all Kiwis to choose a beach that is lifeguarded and to swim between the flags,” she said. “It is tragic that there have been 10 New Zealanders drown already in 2021, with four of those in the Waikato. We are urging all Kiwis to have safety front of their minds this
A cycle of support…
Waitangi Weekend. Drowning is the leading cause of death in recreational activities in New Zealand. There were 74 in 2020, down slightly from the 82 fatalities in 2019. “A drowning is a devastating event for any whānau and community and these incidents are preventable,” says Malpas. In 2019, ACC helped 27,891 people recover from injuries in and around water. That’s about 76 claims a day from people out enjoying activities like surfing, fishing and swimming.
ACC, Sport New Zealand and the New Zealand Lottery Grants Board fund Water Safety New Zealand, who work with communities to reduce the incidence of drowning and injury in New Zealand. The Water Skills for Life programme helps children assess risks and make smart decisions around water. In 2020, ACC helped over 200,000 children learn water safety skills. A total of 757,242 tamariki have complete the programme since July 2017.

Four youngsters who could do with a lucky break will each get a new mountain bike in the coming months. The bikes were presented recently to Cambridge Youth Aid Snr Constable Wayne Dunn. They were donated by BKT Tyres (TFI) in conjunction with Tyre Traders Cambridge as part of an ongoing joint initiative to give back to the local community. When Tyre Traders Cambridge owner Anthony Yelavich knew the bikes were on offer through his supplier, BKT Tyres (TFI), he approached Wayne Dunn at Cambridge Police. “Through the partnership with BKT, we have donated quite a few things to kids in Cambridge over the years,” he said. “We have given sports equipment, soccer and rugby balls… this is the first time we’ve give bikes.” Wayne welcomed the support, saying it was another example of local business giving back to

the community. He said he would take a ‘holistic’ approach over the next few months to selecting the four youngsters who will get the bikes. “We’ll liaise with schools, other organisations and groups working within the community to identify where they are most needed,” he said. “Our work means we get to know families and youngsters who will benefit the most from a donation like this.” Wayne said the same donors had helped during Covid-19 lockdown with gifts of cricket sets and

Peter Andrew, territory manager for BKT Tyres (TFI) said the company often worked with its dealers to support local communities with donations, usually with a focus on young people. The Mumbai-based company had been in the same family for 80 years and operates in New Zealand out of Hamilton and Christchurch. “It is a very family-oriented company,” said Peter. “We like to support the youth in the areas we cover, particularly disadvantaged youth.”

Lake plan signed off
A plan to improve Cambridge’s Lake Te Koo Utu has been given the green light. The plan, created last year in conjunction with mana whenua and consulted on with residents, has been adopted by Council’s Strategic Planning and Policy committee. It includes measures to address the lake’s water quality and an upgrade of walking tracks and the children’s playground More than 220 residents made submissions on the original plan. Waipā District Council community services manager Sally Sheedy said there were concerns around the design of a mārā hūpara play trail, a meeting place and proposed commercial use of space. In the revised plan, commercial activities at the lake had been removed and the site and scope of proposed meeting place changed. Changes were also made to the description of the play trail.
Lions put St John in the picture
The presentation to Cambridge’s St John Ambulance of a new television is part of an extensive project to upgrade training facilities for ambulance crews. The new television, worth about $1200, was presented to St John by the Cambridge Lions. Jackie Gunn, grants director for the Lions Club of Cambridge Charitable Trust, said St John applied for the grant to replace their ageing television late last year, but the Christmas break had seen the presentation stalled to mid-January. St John’s Brent Nielsen said the organisation was “exceptionally grateful for the generous support from the Lions Club”. He said Cambridge St John was in the process of converting two rooms in the Fort St complex into a high-fidelity simulation area suitable for the training of ambulance staff. The equipment will be permanently set up as an identical match to the back
of an ambulance. “Ambulance staff will get to use the high-end equipment in their training,
and the playback option will allow them to review their training sessions,” said Brent. “It will replace

Masons improve quality The good oil on Biden
NO PLANET B
Freemasons and their wives spent several days last month helping at the annual Camp Quality summer camp, which was held this year at Narrows Park Christian Camp. A team of 34 Freemasons, and their partners, organised and helped with meals and completed a raft of other on-site chores to ensure the group of youngsters and their support staff were able
to enjoy the camp. Towards the end of the week, the Freemasons Waikato District Grand Master John Evered presented a cheque for $23,000 to Waikato/Bay of Plenty Camp Quality camp director Graeme Dewhurst. Cambridge’s Alpha Lodge Past Master Peter Saunders said the Freemasons had been supporters and contributors to Camp

Quality for a number of years. “We believe it is a very worthwhile cause … we can appreciate what these youngsters are going through and how important these camps are.” Camp Quality is a volunteer charitable trust that runs camps throughout New Zealand where youngsters living with cancer, aged five to 16, can enjoy a few days of shared friendship in an inspirational ‘can-do’ environment. Camps were cancelled last year due to Covid-19. The non-profit organisation relies heavily on the support of individuals and organisations to fund its operations. The Freemasons and the Lions Clubs of New Zealand are among its important partners.

The new president of the United States has been busy undoing some of the madder policies of the previous administration and it does feel as though we have reached calmer waters. Four years with the Orange Don at the helm was a choppy ride indeed. What amazes me is that so much power to do harm was vested in one apparently small pair of hands. The fear which many felt when he came to power turns out to have been justified. Sensible people the world over watched in horror and dismay as he tore down environmental protections across his own country, yanked the US out of the World Health Organisation and the Paris Climate Agreement, and generally rode roughshod over anything he either didn’t like or didn’t understand which covers most things. When Joe Biden got in, he was widely touted as a safe pair of hands, but he is being a lot more proactive than expected, particularly in going after fossil fuels. Word has it that there are tremors running through the upper echelons of that industry - could it be that the foundations are beginning to crumble? Some have even dared to suggest that ‘peak oil’ has passed - the world’s oil consumption may have passed its maximum. If that is the case global oil production will now be on a rapid slope to zero. So can we now feel a bit better about the planetary plight? I think we can. With fossil fuels on the run the spotlight will focus increasingly on other ‘climate culprits’ and each will
gradually fall to a three-pronged attack: 1: Legislation - governments will enact ever greener policies. 2: Market forces: As the old ways fall from favour, research and development funding is being and will continue to be directed increasingly towards sustainable endeavours thereby making ‘greenness’ more economically viable. 3: The will of the people: As more people make more effort to be green, so more people will join them. Those who don’t care will, thankfully, die out before they can actually render the planet uninhabitable. Of course, it won’t all be plain sailing. There has already been immeasurable damage done; none of the species which have become extinct will ever return, and I fear there are many more to go. But in general, along with the new administration in the US, there is an optimism in the air which has not been felt for some time - four years at least. On the local front, a couple of readers have asked me to commend two local retailers on their sustainable ethics and practices: Fill Good in Victoria Street and Forage In Empire Street both in Cambridge. Take in your own containers to weigh and refill for many common household items including low or no waste options. I hope we can all support these progressive and responsible businesses.

Quail trails
FAITH IN WAIPĀ
TALKING ECONOMICS
By Murray Smith, Senior Leader, Bridges Church
For some time, we’ve enjoyed an increasingly large number of quail (yes that’s the plural) congregating around our home. These likeable birds with their jerky little walking movements have shown themselves to be quite tame and unless frightened they are reasonably comfortable with human interaction provided they have a few metres separation. Once startled though, they are inclined to flee, their little legs propelling them to ‘safety’ at break-neck speed. They seem reluctant to explode into flight unless they really feel the necessity to do so. You’re probably wondering what relevance quail might have to a ‘faith’ column. Fair enough. It’s certainly not that I’m short on material, rather I’ve been contemplating how often the Bible uses aspects of creation to highlight simple truth that carries profound insights for living. One example would be Jesus telling us to ‘consider the lilies.’ Really? Wait… it’s not that silly to contemplate a lily. The context of Him making this unexpected statement will help. Jesus is addressing something human beings are very prone to do - that is to have anxiety and worries for the future with regards to practical material necessities and provisions. People stress about things like food, money, shelter, or in this instance clothing. We’re being reminded that God cares a great deal more for people than lilies in the field which are arrayed with a splendour that surpasses King Solomon’s glory. Another unlikely little creature we are told to go consider is the ant. They are commended in the book of Proverbs for
being industrious. Have you ever seen a ‘still’ ant? They’re always zooming around with something going on and we’re reminded that having a good work ethic and being enterprising gets things done. Of course, the birds of the air get a mention too which brings me back to quail. Quail are very sociable birds, and often gather in flocks called ‘coveys’. We could learn from their sense of care for one another. Their distinctive penetrating ‘uhh aargh uh’ call is to gather and connect one another, ensuring no member of the covey gets isolated. Recently I surprised a group of about eight quail and they displayed a strange group defence mechanism. Taking their lead from an ’alpha’ male they all instantly froze. Comically, they remained totally stationary - rivetted to the spot, statuesque for over half an hour. After that, they just strutted off. They had the wisdom not to draw attention to themselves- a sensible strategy at times. When adult quail become a mated pair, it is not just for a single breeding season – these birds are committed. They mate for life. They remain monogamous till death do them part. We’ve observed a couple of breeding seasons with over a dozen cute little chicks being raised, becoming integrated into the flock as mature birds. Both adults - male and female, together perform all parenting duties equally. So you see, in many respects these birds have a few more clues than many humans. Having a ‘bird brain’ isn’t such a bad thing.

We’re like a car with two accelerators
By Peter Nicholl
When I studied economics, I was taught that interest rates had two important roles. One was the cost of borrowing and the other was the return on savings. Central Banks over the last 10 years have focused solely on the first role. The second role has been more than ignored – it’s been undermined. The widely adopted policies of low interest rates have not just encouraged financial risk-taking, they have made it essential if people want to get positive returns. I see little evidence that the low interest rate environment has been a policy success anywhere. If it had been, it should not have had to last for so long and had to have so many repeated doses. It is not the level of interest rates that is making people wary of investing, it is uncertainty about the economic environment. Issues like climate change, trade tensions – and a global pandemic mean there is more uncertainty in the world than I have ever seen. Lowering interest rates to such incredibly low levels (negative in some countries) has been the wrong medicine for the problems facing the business sector. But there is plenty of evidence that low interest rates have led savers to take more and more risk in search for positive returns. This in turn has caused asset prices, such as for property, shares and crypto-currencies to rise. These asset price rises have strong negative side-effects on income distribution and access to house ownership and have contributed to the extremes in wealth distribution that are evident in many countries. With the recent pick-up in economic activity and some signs of increases in prices, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand has at least not made a mention of ‘negative interest rates’ in the last couple of months. That is a good thing. But they need to do a lot more and do it quickly to stem the upsurge in housing prices and the impacts it is beginning to have on a lot of other prices. As

soon as possible, they should start raising interest rates to a level where the interest rate can begin to meet both of its dual functions. When the RBNZ started its low interest rate policy, fiscal policy was doing little to help bolster economic activity. But over the last year, fiscal policy has become very expansionary and the RBNZ should now be able to start easing the monetary policy accelerator. Economic policy in New Zealand is now like a car with two accelerators but no brakes. Because of the lags in the impacts of its actions, the RBNZ should focus on where prices may be in a year’s time. There are already many signs in New Zealand of labour and material shortages developing and this will inevitably lead to price pressures. It would be comforting to think that the RBNZ is at least giving some thought to the growing signs of price pressures though they have not yet made any statements to this effect. With regard to housing, on November 24, the Minister of Finance took the rare step of sending a letter to the Governor asking the RBNZ to do more to constrain the high and accelerating house price rises. In their response, the RBNZ did not seem to accept that the rapid growth in house prices had much to do with their actions. Why was it not obvious to the RBNZ that injecting masses of liquidity into the economy and forcing interest rates down to ludicrously low levels would stimulate house price inflation? The RBNZ did say that they would probably reimpose the loans-to-value limits on house lending that had been in place in New Zealand until quite recently and did have an impact on moderating the earlier Auckland property bubble. These limits were withdrawn in May 2020 as one of the RBNZ’s responses to the

Read on: libraries in demand
Waipā’s two libraries issued more than 32,000 books last month. District Council community services manager Sally Sheedy said 10,000 books were taken out at the Cambridge library in the first week it opened, starting January 11. Issues soared at both the Cambridge and Te Awamutu libraries as book lovers headed back to the library after the holidays, she said. “It has been full steam ahead at both libraries since reopening. Residents are very pleased to get back to
the library after the facilities were shut for an extended break to give staff some much needed time off after a tough year. “Our staff have come back well rested and ready for a busy year ahead. We have also been joined by our community librarians which is very exciting.” Three community librarians have been recruited to promote digital inclusion and support job seekers with anything from computer literacy to learning how to write a CV in the wake of the Covid-19

MORTGAGE MATTERS
Refinancing Your Mortgage
By Gavin Lynch – Yes Mortgages
Mulch that’s magic so I’m told Grab it now before it’s sold
Refinancing your mortgage is the process of changing your mortgage lending from your existing lender to a new lender. Refinancing is a common practice for any of these reasons: • You don’t like the lender you are with. You’ve experienced poor service, problems with staff, or high account fees. • You want to borrow more money but the lender won’t allow it. Perhaps you want to consolidate debt, borrow to purchase a rental property or a vehicle, or put working capital into a business. • You have ‘outgrown’ your existing lender and want to move forward. This is common for self-employed people with a growing business, or for investors with an increasing portfolio. • Your lender has asked you to refinance. You may be in arrears with mortgage repayments or you need to restructure your mortgage. Refinancing can involve costs such as break fees from the existing lender, solicitors’ fees, valuation charges etc, but we can help get cash contributions from your new lender to help offset these costs. At Yes Mortgages, we can outline the costs involved and find the best new lender to fit your current situation from the 25 or so different lenders available. In most instances, our service is FREE to you. Generally the benefits of refinancing outweigh the costs involved but bear in mind: Refinancing your mortgage must benefit and add value to YOU. Let us do the work to find you the best lender for your situation.

pandemic. The positions are funded by the New Zealand Libraries Partnership Programme from a funding package of $58.8 million entrusted to National Library by the Government to lead and support Covid-19 recovery work across New Zealand’s library system over two to four years. Sally Sheedy said residents wanting help could visit the libraries and speak to a staff member or call 0800 Waipadc and ask to be put through to the library. “We are thrilled to have
these new staff with us and strongly encourage residents to come into the libraries and take advantage of the services they provide.” Another addition to the libraries is an improved online catalogue system which allows library users to search for or renew books, put them on hold and view their loan history. “We’re pleased to have this system in place and believe our library users will enjoy how easy it is to use and the increased access it provides to our collection.” It can be viewed at www. waipalibraries.govt.nz.
Water restrictions impact on Waipā from today. Residents in Te Awamutu, Pirongia, Ōhaupō and Hamilton move to Water Alert Level 2 – and that means sprinklers can only be used between 6 and 8 in the morning or evening on alternate days. Houses with even street numbers can use sprinklers on even days and odd-numbered houses may use sprinklers on odd days. Hand-held hosing is still allowed at any time.
Water Alert Level 2 restrictions also apply in Waikato district’s southernmost areas of Tauwhare, Gordonton, Matangi, Tamahere, Newstead-Eureka, Wallace Road and Stonebridge Estate. Cambridge and Kihikihi will remain on Water Alert Level 1. For more information go to smartwater.org.nz – or sign up for the Smart Water e-newsletter at smartwater. org.nz/subscribe.

Covid-19 lockdowns. That was understandable. But instead of reimposing these limits straight away, the RBNZ said they would have a two-month period of consultation. I cannot see what there was to consult about. They should have reimposed this measure straight away. The responses of the RBNZ to the letter they received from the Minister last November and to the growing signs of price pressures in housing have so far shown little urgency. The RBNZ needs to start to act. What issues would you like Peter to comment on? Talk to him at peterwenicholl@yahoo.co.nz

Tamahere underpass start date set
Construction work on an underpass of State Highway 21 Airport Road in Tamahere will start next month. Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency is building the underpass by the park to the north of Wiremu Tamihana Drive as part of its section of the Te Awa shared path
between Cambridge and Hamilton. “This underpass will provide a safe connection under SH21, not only for Tamahere residents but for the thousands of walkers and cyclists that are expected to use Te Awa each month,” Waka Kotahi Acting Portfolio Delivery Manager Jo Wilton said.
The community, iwi and community groups were consulted on the design and site of the underpass. The walls of the ramps down to the underpass will include designs reflecting the history of the Tamahere area. The Cambridge to Hamilton section of Te
Awa is being built in four sections by Waka Kotahi, Waipa District Council, Waikato District Council and Hamilton City Council. The full Te Awa path between Cambridge and Hamilton is expected to be open to cyclists and walkers by the end of this year.
THE AGE OF REASON
Grand plan – but how do we do it?
Firstly, a couple of up-front clarifications. I am not an avowed Greenie and I am not related to Dr Rod Carr That said we shall proceed. About my Greenie views - these are principally as a result of the physical appearance and wild-eyed look of many of them. That notwithstanding I do have a deep respect for the manner, mana and political approach of James Shaw MP. He has read the tea leaves and realised that they will only make progress if they front up as sensible, calm and structured. ‘Nuff said. As to Dr Carr, he has an excellent professional record in banking, software, university governance and is now into a five-year term as Chair of the Climate Change Commission. And he has just spear-headed a whole new thrust as to how New Zealand could and should reform its attitude towards climate change. The Commission has produced a 600page report centred on decarbonising the economy. Rod Carr, with his experience at the Reserve Bank, is well up there with economic needs and direction. That he has harnessed the fertile mind of the leader of the Greens is all for the good. It is also appropriate that Dr Carr’s PhD is in insurance and

risk management. For a long time, politicians have been muttering about hybrid cars, pure electric cars and hydrogen cars. In fact, I accompanied the Prime Minister to view both of the latter at a couple of Fieldays at Mystery Creek. She took a very keen interest admitting that the latter one, hydrogen, does introduce some problems regarding ample and well positioned supply points. The electric scene is much easier provided that the number of supply points spreads further exponentially, the distance capability of trips can be increased with better and lighter batteries and the capital costs are not prohibitive. The report has a graduated roll-out with targets of emission budgets over 5-year intervals. Overall, there is a target of where the report states we ‘should be’ by the year 2050. Now this is where my eyes glaze over for a simple mathematical calculation will reveal it will not apply to me as I turn 80 in April. But, and a big but, is that I do not own trucks, cannot afford the current models of electric cars, do not own dairy cattle or forests and am not – to the best of my knowledge – a serious offender in the carbon production sphere. But what can I do
to help the cause without seriously affecting my quality of life - other than support whichever political party is going to get us to this hallowed target? If we are to provide some form of electricity for vehicles it will have to be purely by non-carbon means. Likewise, hydrogen given, as I believe, that some work on that item is under way both in Taranaki (who oil-based industry is winding down) and thermal offerings near Taupo. And for those who believe that growing trees is to be our salvation take note of this quote from the report: ‘Forests have a role to play but we can’t plant our way out of carbon change’. It was interesting while visiting an Irish dairy research centre to see cows with tubes and wires strapped onto their backs. I was told that they were measuring the methane production – a nice word for gaseous explosions. We need an explosion in this country that reduces waffle, requests for handouts and zeroes onto the manner and means to achieve sensible and practical targets.

Double delish Cooking for two is something many of us do every day. Because there are fewer likes and dislikes to cater for, it can be fun, easy and a great time to experiment with new ingredients. It doesn’t need to be Valentine’s Day to serve something super to a partner or friend. Dill is a delicious but underused summer herb. Dill’s refreshing flavour marries well with fish, potatoes, cucumbers, eggs, yoghurt and sour cream. Its feathery fronds also make attractive garnishes. In the home garden, dill bolts fairly quickly and flowers but the seeds are great added to pickles and apple pie. Sriracha, a trendy hot Thai chilli sauce, is prepared from a paste of chilli peppers, distilled vinegar, garlic, sugar and salt.
Traditionally used as a dipping sauce for seafood, its popularity is such that it is now added to many East and West inspired dishes. Sriracha is named after a city on the east coast of Thailand — Si Racha. Panko breadcrumbs originated in Japan and can be used in place of traditional dried breadcrumbs to coat seafood and meats. They are flaked rather than ground so provide a crisp, fluffy appearance to the coating. For a gluten-free substitute, try Japanese organic rice crumbs.

Line a roasting pan with baking paper. Place the salmon — skin-side down— on the baking paper and season. Bake for about 10 minutes, until the salmon is just cooked. Meanwhile, combine the crust ingredients in a bowl. Combine the sauce ingredients in another bowl. Remove the salmon from the oven. Turn the oven to grill. Pat the crust over the salmon. Grill for 1-2 minute until lightly browned. Serve with the sauce. Serves 2.
1 shallot, diced dash sriracha sauce 2 teaspoons chopped rosemary leaves 1 tablespoon chopped chives freshly ground black pepper to taste Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the feta in a shallow baking dish. Sprinkle with the olive oil, shallot, sriracha sauce, rosemary, chives and black pepper. Bake for about 10 minutes, until the cheese starts to melt. Serve with crusty bread and a salad as a light lunch. Serves 2.

This yummy dessert can be prepared a day ahead. 50g dark chocolate (72% cocoa), chopped 2 tablespoons milk 100ml cream 1/2 cup salted popcorn 2-3 tablespoons caramel sauce Melt the chocolate in a bowl in the microwave or over simmering water. Stir in the milk. Cool. Whip the cream until soft peaks form. Fold into the cooled chocolate mixture. Spoon into two serving bowls or glasses. Chill until set, about 30 minutes. Serve topped with the popcorn and drizzled with the caramel sauce. Serves 2.
