Waipā District Council chief executive Garry Dyet says the exposure given in last week’s News to abusive on-line comments prompted an outpouring of support. Cr Susan O’Regan prefaced a discussion on plans for Te Awamutu’s
Memorial Park by reading some of the abusive and hostile messages which had been posted on social media. “Since Cr O’Regan made her comments, we have received very welcome messages from people who are horrified at what has been reported. We really appreciate those, and I’d like to thank the people for taking the time
to send those in,” Mr Dyet said. The story prompted the Te Awamutu Grapevine to review its monitoring of posts – but while all readers who contacted the News expressed negative views about the comments, some also suggested it was a consequence of frustration in dealing with the council. Much of the recent criticism has
It’s 105 for Millie The quite remarkable Millicent (Millie) McComb celebrated her 105th birthday last month with a special family lunch enjoyed at Henley Hotel. The Cambridge Resthaven resident celebrated her March 19 birthday a day later with her son and daughter-in-law, Bruce and Janet McComb, five grandchildren and nine of her 10 great-grandchildren, a sprinkling of nieces and nephews and some of their children. Delighted and ‘amazed’ at the family turnout, Millie is now looking forward to her 106th. Pictured with her is her son Bruce McComb.

centred on plans to rejuventate Te Awamutu’s Memorial Park. The council is also in the process of going through public consultation on its latest Long Term Plan – and is also weighing up whether or not to introduce a Māori ward at next year’s local body elections. Mr Dyet said he welcomed undertakings from social media page administrators adding “Waipā is much better than this”. Cr O’Regan told residents at last week’s meeting staff were leaving because of the abuse. Mr Dyet told the News he accepted some people will not always be happy “and they have every right to share their view”. “In fact, we bend over backwards to help people share their views... but that does not give a green light to abusing our staff or making outlandish, untrue claims.” He said in the “old days” editors used their common sense, ensuring claims made by letter writers and others were factually correct and that even strongly expressed views were fair and courteous. “It’s not like that anymore. The rise of social media has unleashed a level of vitriol not previously seen. People seem to think they can say anything they like on-line, without consequences. But there are consequences.” He said it was a shame that many staff chose not to engage in social media on council matters because they found it too destructive. “People need to remember that Council staff are like anyone else. We live in this community, our kids go to school here, we play in the same sports teams, we’re your neighbours.

So, Waipa DC are miffed that councillors and staff have been subject to social media trolling. While I do not defend the practice, I say you reap what you sow. From personal experience over the last four years dealing with council is pointless, unproductive and demoralising. Consider these: letter to then Deputy Mayor Webber (no acknowledgement or reply received). Current Deputy Mayor, Stolwyck, failed to respond to a complaint posted on her Facebook page despite promising to do so. A senior council official made statements at a council meeting about water metering that were obviously nonsense and, to me at least, intentionally mendacious. No acknowledgement or reply was received to my letter requesting an explanation for the statements made when they were subsequently proved by council itself to be untrue. When I followed up the nonreply with a telephone call I was told by a front line staffer that the letter had not been received (I had hand delivered it to the Cambridge offices). I made six or so calls to council over a couple of months about water leaks on Shakespeare Street that went without response or action and I was obstructed at every turn trying to identify who I could talk to about the matter.
Eventually I followed up with a formal letter of complaint to the Chief Executive which also went unacknowledged or replied to although it resulted in a meeting with a council water engineer. While he was partly helpful and courteous repair work did not start and was not completed in the time frame promised. Given all of this the unnamed Grapevine correspondent who said to Gower “what people are really saying is that they don’t feel valued….” is appropriate and fair comment in my view.

A cheaper option
Hands up all those who like having these “sleeping policemen” all over the streets in Cambridge. No-one? I thought so. Speed restrictions of 40kmh in places make sense and so would chicanes. They don’t have to be costly constructed chicanes. Painted faux chicanes can be effective. They have been proved to have a significant psychological effect, causing enough wariness to cause drivers to slow down and concentrate. The Council is already on this wavelength with the introduction of polka dots, and chicanes are nowhere near as confusing and daft as M&Ms or Smarties all over an intersection.

On the beat with Senior Constable DEB THURGOOD Fake notes: what to do
I have a few things to touch on again this week. Firstly, over the last couple of weeks we have had several counterfeit notes presented to Cambridge retailers. While store staff have managed to intercept some, others have been removed by the suspects involved, who’ve then left the store. There may yet be other notes still circulating. Investigations are ongoing into this matter. Please check any notes you handle – a tell-tale sign is to ensure they have a watermark in the clear plastic insert at the side. If the insert is just clear plastic, it is counterfeit. If you work in retail and intercept a note while the person who handed it over is still in store, please call 111 immediately. If you otherwise come across such a note, minimise all handling amongst staff, securely store it in a paper envelope and advise Police. Remember to also save any related CCTV footage. On the topic of CCTV, we regularly investigate cases where CCTV is recorded for a crime - but business staff do not know how to save and export the footage. It is a good idea to make yourself familiar with how your CCTV software works. CCTV systems will typically overwrite data in a recording loop after a given timeframe. This can be as soon as one week or up to a month or longer depending on the setup. If footage isn’t saved before that time, it is lost and cannot be accessed. It is therefore also important that any
CCTV evidence be saved/ downloaded for Police at the earliest possible opportunity to avoid loss of evidence. Your CCTV is often crucial to identifying the offenders involved and proving their actions. Thirdly, I am again seeing posts on Facebook community groups and hearing stories anecdotally regarding criminal activity where it is unclear whether a report has been made to police. It is important that you do report crime to accurately reflect criminal offending patterns in our town, which aids Police investigation and enables us to hold offenders to account for the most accurate number of offences possible. It also ensures that any related crimes are dealt with together. Where a report is made, you will receive a Police event number and/or file number which then enables any subsequent information to be linked easily to the file, whether that information is again provided by you or someone else. And finally, I recently assisted St Peter’s Catholic School with some guidance around Lock Down procedures. Thank you to principal Anita Asumadu for the opportunity. It was great to see the students doing so well on their first drill.

Briefs… Bridge to close The Victoria Bridge in Cambridge will be closed on Thursday night next week for maintenance and an inspection of the deck. The bridge will be closed to traffic from 6pm on Thursday to around 2am Friday. It will remain open to pedestrians and cyclists. Some residents have questioned the safety of the bridge, but the council says the work is routine. Netball search A search is on to find netball’s “Local Legends”. Major netball sponsor ANZ is backing the search across the country – and throughout the News readership area to find “the greatest supporters whose time and energy keep local netball alive through the good times and the tough”. The bank is also offering netball grants to schools and clubs through its 10-year-old ANZ Netball Grants programme. For more information go to ANZcourtside.co.nz. Back to work, artists… The Te Awamutu library is bringing the Artists at Work programme back after it became a Covid victim in 2020. The programme enables the public to see a range of artists at work and learn skills at an interactive workshop. It runs from 23 April until 29 April. For more details go to www.waipalibraries.org.nz Bike winner Isaac Pierce, Tiaan Smith and Justine Archer have won bikes through a Bicycle Revolution Cambridge promotion which encouraged contestants, or their supporter, to ride to as many cafes and eateries in Cambridge to collect stickers. Cam Boland and Warren Smith both ride to 26 cafes for Isaac and Tiaan, as did Justine. Comments disappoint Waikato Regional Council chairman Russ Rimmington says he is disappointed at scathing comments made by Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency Board member Patrick Reynolds, who has called the new Hamilton to Auckland rail service Te Huia the “worst of both worlds”. The service attracted significant support from Waka Kotahi.

Grapevine says sorry The administrator of Te Awamutu’s Grapevine page took down a series of offensive posts relating to Waipā District Council after being alerted to them by the Te Awamutu News last week. And there are new plans in place to monitor comments more closely. At a committee meeting on Tuesday last week Cr Susan O’Regan read a series of hostile posts to councillors to underline the abuse meted out during a consultation process for a revamp of Memorial Park in Te Awamutu. Jessica Fowlie, who is an administrator of the Te Awamutu Grapevine Facebook page, said she discussed with moderators an email sent by the News which quoted the comments. “Once the allegations from our members regarding the council and its employees were brought to our attention, we proceeded to find the comments that were quoted in your email to Bernard [Westerbaan, page moderator] as a first point of action,” she told the News. “We found that, yes, there was some abusive messages aimed at council and its procedures, however the wordings were substantially different. “We do not allow swearing or abbreviations of swear words of any kind in the Te Awamutu Region Community Grapevine. To ensure we police this fairly and timely we have keyword moderation alerts. Every post and comment with profanities in it sends a notification to all the admin team, alerting us to the situation to which my moderators are quick to deal with the problem within a few minutes.”
She said some “key words” which were not previously listed on an alert system had now been added to alert moderators “to ensure that this problem does not happen again.” She agreed that some of the comments removed were hostile and possibly defamatory. She said the page had always welcomed freedom of speech “as long as it wasn’t targeting someone

A win is a sign of quality for potential customers and can form part of your sales pitch. “Success at business awards are part of your marketing toolbox.” The Awards are open to businesses in the Waipa region and aim to encourage and support businesses in their quest for success through; sustainability, innovation, leadership, and excellence. The Waipa Networks Business Awards has revised the awards categories to better reflect business
personally or could jeopardise their safety as this is part of the rules members have to agree upon prior to joining.” She said she was disappointed with the behaviour of some members and apologised to the council and counterparts. If the situation arose again the possibility of membership being revoked was “very high”.
She suggested the comments indicated a lack of faith in the council and councillors. “People have these opinions as they have at one point or another been let down by the council or councillors, so it would make more sense to initiate a campaign to win back those people and see where the council as a whole could maybe improve in areas.”
Who’ll buy my poppy?
Valda Davison, manager of the Te Awamutu RSA is backing the call to support the annual Poppy Day collection – the primary source of funds for the organisation’s provision of support services to the service community. Poppy Day collectors will be out and about tomorrow in Te Awamutu, Cambridge and Kihikihi.

Population issues raised at forum Business confidence By Viv Posselt
The Waikato DHB has praised local communities for moves to take ownership of their own health, and has pledged to support such initiatives, but is concerned about issues relating to population growth and Covid-19 vaccine hesitancy. These were among views expressed by Waikato DHB commissioner and deputy commissioner respectively, Dame Karen Poutasi and Emeritus Professor Margaret Wilson, at last week’s community health forum at Cambridge Community House in Leamington. Attending were DHB representatives as well as those from regional health providers, Waipā District Council, Cambridge Community Board, community and church groups and Maungatautari Marae. The meeting was led by Greg Morton, Waikato DHB senior planning and engagement manager, and chaired by Cambridge Community Board House manager Harriet Dixon, who said: “Our town is exploding in population and in need at the moment”. It was the latest in a cycle of DHB community engagement meetings aimed at hearing feedback from stakeholders across the region. The thumbs up was given by DHB representatives to several initiatives. One was a recent hauora - a gathering of health providers related to Māori philosophy of health and wellbeing - held in February at the old Maungatautari school site, and to

efforts on the Maungatautari Marae to bring health providers together. Also praised were the Men’s Health Events held in Cambridge in 2016 and 2018 by Baptist Church members Delia Edmeades and Helen Vaughan, both of whom attended last week’s forum. Concerns were expressed about slippages in mental health services, the complaints procedure around Waikato Hospital appointments, and the triage system at Waikato Hospital’s Emergency Department. DHB representatives said a new complaints system now in place means complaints are dealt with more efficiently, and the floor heard of a voucher system at the hospital’s emergency department where patients are either admitted to the
hospital or directed to Anglesea Medical Centre’s emergency department. Another issue raised was that of the lack of 24-hour triage coverage locally. Cambridge Medical Centre business manager Wendy Harris said there was a triage system available during working hours, and discussions are underway on how to extend that to a 24/7 operation. DHB senior planning and engagement manager Norma Taute said it was increasingly challenging for over-stretched medical practitioners to meet the need of a growing population, and that it was essential to find new ways to provide access to services. DHB commissioner Karen Poutasi described it as ‘energising’ to see

the opportunities being taken by communities to look after their health. “I will take the information presented here back to the DHB… we are ready and willing to come in behind you.” She urged people to get the Covid-19 vaccine, and said latest scientific evidence showed that not only did the vaccination prevent infection to the vaccinated person, but it also protected the wider community against the spread of Covid-19. Her call was echoed by deputy commissioner Margaret Wilson, who said the DHB was concerned about vaccine hesitancy. She urged those with concerns to make contact with the DHB and said that 100 percent vaccination coverage was the ultimate goal to ensure safety for all. She said population growth, housing issues and difficulty in accessing services were matters of concern in Waikato. Cambridge Community House manager Harriet Dixon said the forum was a great opportunity to get on the DHB’s radar. “Often Cambridge is treated as a suburb of Hamilton … our community is expected to travel to Hamilton to use services. For many, this is a barrier to receiving health and support,” she said. “These forums help identify local needs and opportunities to bring these services to Cambridge. An example of this is the DHB’s Adult Mental Health Services, which are now working three days out of Cambridge Community House.”

Regional economic development agency Te Waka says businesses have more confidence in their own patch than they do for the rest of the country. The second Waikato Business Sentiment Survey shows business owners and managers are more optimistic about their sector and the region’s economic performance than they were six months ago. They are not so confident in the country’s economic performance. The survey is conducted in partnership with local authorities, chambers of commerce, regional tourism operators, business associations and other economic development organisations and provides insights to the performance of business in the prior six-month period and is an indicator of confidence looking ahead. Between February 15 and March 12, 565 responses were collected online. Confidence in New Zealand’s economy improved from -31 per cent to -3 per cent. Thirty-three per cent of respondents reported increased sales for 2020 compared to 2019.

Centenary gathering for Te Miro – at last By Steph Bell-Jenkins
More than 280 people gathered for the twicedelayed Te Miro School and District Centenary on Saturday. “We were thrilled to be able to hold the event after having to postpone due to Covid 19 in March 2020 and then again last month,” said organising committee member Matt Keyte. “It was a great feeling knowing that all the hard work was worth it.” More than three years of planning went into the 100th birthday celebrations. Past and present pupils, staff and residents of the school and district enjoyed morning tea in the Te Miro Settlers Hall on Saturday before the bell rang to kick off the formalities. The official programme, MCed by former principal Waveney Parker, began in a marquee on the school grounds with speeches from Waipā mayor Jim Mylchreest, MP for Waikato Tim Van Der Molen, Ngati Haua representative Fred Haimona and Te Miro School principal Michaela Phillips, along with past and present pupils. The school’s oldest living former pupil, Rose-May Scott (nee Keyte), who attended the school from 1940-1947, teamed up with youngest current pupils Darcy Kilgour and Rowen Taylor to cut the birthday cake. After lunch there were class photos, a ceremonial

tree planting and bus tours of the district led by Matt Keyte, followed by dinner and dancing. “Everyone had a great time and kept coming up to thank us for the day,” Matt said. “Huge thanks to our community for the way it got behind this event. Nik Pierce produced a special centenary book that we released last year after our first postponement, there were displays at the school and the local hall, and there’s currently a great Te Miro display on at Cambridge
Museum.” Long-time Te Miro resident Bob McQueen said the centenary had been “wonderful”. “Thanks to the committee for its persistence in coming through the frustration of two cancellations and delivering a great day,” he said. “It was very professionally done.” Te Miro School opened on March 8, 1920 with one teacher, one classroom and a roll of 10 children and now has four teachers, two teacher aides, three classrooms and 46 students.
Drivers clock up the tickets
Waipā District Council staff issue 169 parking tickets during March, most in the Te Awamutu and Cambridge CBDs. Drivers were parked illegally in disabled parking spots, on broken yellow lines, on the footpath and breaching parking time restrictions. More than 200 tickets have been issued in the last three months as the council counters parking issues in town centres. Council compliance manager Karl Tutty said although parking has always been enforced in Waipā, Council had increased its efforts in this area from just responding to complaints, to active patrols. “Prime parking spaces in Cambridge and Te Awamutu CBD areas should have a high turnover of cars, allowing more drivers to use them,” he said. The highest ticketed areas have
been Alpha, Victoria and Empire streets in Cambridge and Sloane Street and Selwyn Lane in Te Awamutu. Parking tickets range from $15 to $150 depending on the offence. In some cases, entire streets contained cars left in timerestricted spaces for an entire day and some drivers had received multiple tickets for repeat offences. “Those who are getting the tickets aren’t happy about it but overall, we have seen an increase in parking turnover and availability which is great, and we’ve had some good feedback from residents too, particularly around disability parks and the safety issues of cars on footpaths,” Tutty said. Parking maps which outline parking spaces in Cambridge and Te Awamutu centres are available at www.waipadc.govt. nz/parking.
You told us you’d like us to transform our main towns into well connected, vibrant and enjoyable spaces for walking and cycling. Using your feedback, we’ve created a plan for an extensive walking and cycling network across Cambridge to make this a reality! Find out more at www.waipadc.govt.nz/ urbanmobility

FAITH IN WAIPĀ
THE AGE OF REASON
Lest we forget...
Pieces of eighty
By Murray Smith, Senior Leader, Bridges Church
UP TO
Throughout our district we are being reminded by way of banners and signage that Anzac Day is looming closer. Last year was the first time since 1916 that services were cancelled, due to Covid-19 restrictions. Each year on April 25, this national day of remembrance summons us to commemorate the time in 1915 when Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (Anzac) landed at Gallipoli in Turkey. Our thoughts drift towards the many stories of bravery, of sacrifice and comradeship that rightly deserve to be recounted and remembered. Servicemen and women from our district made a significant contribution to serving New Zealand in both world wars, as well as other interventions, many making the ultimate sacrifice, losing their lives on foreign soil. My childhood memories of an elderly great-uncle who served in France during WW1 are vivid. A quiet, gentle man, he ‘survived’ the war, but in a sense, it was like he really hadn’t. Family said he was never the same upon returning to New Zealand. The fact he rarely mentioned wartime experiences is probably why a standout image is etched in my mind. He told of mustard gas canisters flying into the trenches, with soldiers who unfortunately did not have gas masks, screaming oaths as the gas burned their lungs. My uncle’s account of soldiers cursing God, vividly contrasted with those he said cried out for God’s mercy. A story that resonates with me is the account of two brothers, from Ahipara in the far north. Hone and Pita Tahitahi landed in Gallipoli April 25, 1915.
By Peter Carr
Hone was ordered up the cliffs to cut through barbed wire. He was struck in the chest by a bullet from a Turkish defender, above his heart, knocking him backwards and rendering him unconscious. Upon recovery he realised the bullet’s impact had been restrained by his prayer book in his breast pocket. Still embedded, the bullet point rested under words spoken by Jesus and recorded in the gospel of Matthew 14:27 “Kia manawanui. Ko ahau teni, ahau e wehi” (Be of good cheer. It is I. Be not afraid) The brothers were evacuated from Gallipoli and Hone was later badly wounded on the Western Front and sent home. Before leaving he mailed the prayer book to the London Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge. Back home the family thought the tale was a good one. In 1986 the prayer book came into the hands of Governor General, Sir Paul Reeves, with the bullet still embedded in the pages. Inside are inscriptions from Hone Tahitahi as well as an officer and chaplain verifying his remarkable escape. Hone discovered that God’s ‘Word’ had stopped a bullet for him. In a remarkable way it had preserved his life. Countless others too, have made the personal discovery that this supernatural book is relevant and has power to save and transform their lives… not in the sense of Hone’s experience, granted - however through it, they found salvation. For anyone seeking spiritual comfort, courage, understanding and eternal assurance the Bible has the answers.
Today, Thursday, is an incredibly special day for me which has set me off in a reflective mood. More on that later. In 1954 several interesting events took place – which included the Queen and her beloved Prince Philip visiting our country – Roger Bannister running the first sub-fourminute mile – Marilyn Munroe married Joe DiMaggio – Senator Joseph McCarthy commenced his rail against USA-based Communist sympathisers – and Kiwi Sir William Hamilton invented the boat-driven Hamilton jet engine. All remarkable or perhaps notable events. But for me the important occasion was the 80th birthday, in that year, of that remarkable orator and author Winston Spencer Churchill. Which he described in a speech on that day that ‘turning 80 was the most memorable occasion of my life’ - a striking statement considering the enormous peaks he had climbed politically and socially over those 80 tumultuous years. So why am I harking back to reflections of one of the world’s greatest leaders? Well, it has, today, happened to me. And I, too, am in reflective mode looking back at achievements, sad memories, happiness to still be alive and in good health. And asking myself ‘what would have been?’ had I taken a turn to the left or the right somewhere in my past. Having been born into war-ravaged England in 1941, when running in the middle of the night to an air raid shelter was an every-day task, I look back on my life - proud of some achievements and sad at opportunities I chose not to take. Clearly a momentous decision for me was to move to New Zealand over 50 years
ago to embark on a life in a country that was geographically remote, far too dependent on trade with the UK and layered with politically driven financial restrictions. Understanding a three-year government when used to a five-year bicameral political system took some time to illustrate the former produced poor governance and the latter delay and frustration when new legislation was being considered. But it has been, generally, a good life. One of the more successful decisions has deciding to live in this delightful town. Shortly after arriving I became embroiled in the governance of the Chamber of Commerce which was enlightening and satisfying. Later I was beckoned towards rowing administration at the nearby beautiful lake and a deep dive into volunteering at Mystery Creek. All bring happy memories. As I watch the rapid growth of Cambridge, I have refrained from bemoaning that the village atmosphere will be lost. Such is not the case providing we have sensible local political oversight. When the remnants of the Cambridge Armed Constabulary, post 1864, decided mainly to stay here and found a tree bound, militarily street encompassed town, who would have thought that they would succeed to the height that they did? That they conceived the Town Belt and wrapped it in an invisible fence was, of itself, a stroke of brilliant foresight. Yep – being 80 in Cambridge is not bad. In fact, it is damned good all round.

Service memories of Prince Philip By Viv Posselt
Prince Philip’s death brought back memories for several Cambridge servicemen, among them former naval man, bandsman and miniature train enthusiast, Paul Murphy.
Paul Murphy
Paul joined the Royal New Zealand Navy as an Officer Cadet in 1966, and at 21, became one of the youngest men to command a 2500 tonne frigate. He retired from the navy in 1988. Paul met His Royal Highness Prince Philip at a garden party in Auckland during the 1977 Silver Jubilee Tour. “HRH approached a group of young naval officers and their wives and asked one, ‘Who are you with?’ The Kiwi responded, ‘My wife, sir’. HRH threw back his head and roared, causing all sorts of strange looks from the surrounding groups of nervous people,” Paul recalled. “He clarified the question as meaning, ‘Which ship are you serving in?’, and congratulated the young
officer on the best response he’d ever had to that one. He then chatted with the rest of the group … the wives all fell in love. “HRH embodied the ethos that underpins the core values of all those who serve our community, both in and out of uniform – leadership, compassion, and example.” Paul also has a long affiliation with the Cambridge Brass Band. Another band stalwart, musical director Rob Hocking, spent years in the British army and said he had been inspected by Prince Philip several times over the years. Both Rob and Paul unravelled public curiosity around the 41-gun salute sounded in many parts of the
Young talent in tune Cambridge band Betend Rocket will feature in a free concert this weekend in the Cambridge Town Hall. Tunes of Waikato is a 12-month project started in 2019 to promote the original music of the youth in Waikato. Each year the not-for-profit organisation auditions and select four Waikato youth music groups or individuals. “We give them studio time to record four of their songs,” administrator Kirsty de Vries said.
“We provide successful musicians to mentor the four winners, we then organise at least five concerts for the four winners in Waikato.” Cape Hill from Glen Murray, Armed Goldfish from Taupo, Betend Rocket from Cambridge, Sasha Kirkwood from Raglan, Bree Rose from Waihi and Albert Street from Hamilton will feature on Saturday. The participants are the winners from this year and last year’s event. Cambridge rock n’ roll band The Pingaz will be the opening act. The event starts at 7pm.
world to mark the Prince’s death. The number ‘41’ arises from the standard 21-gun salute fired for high-ranking officers or heads of state, with another 20 added for royalty. Prince Philip’s long association with RSA members all over the world was recognised by BJ Clark, national president of the Royal New Zealand RSA, who said of the Prince: “He has had an enduring relationship with the RSA for over 50 years. As a naval officer and veteran of the Second World War, Philip enjoyed a unique relationship with RSA and he took a very real interest in veteran welfare and other veteran issues, not just in New Zealand but throughout the Commonwealth. His Royal
Highness was always at ease with serving military people or veterans, and always welcomed the opportunity for an exchange of views, no matter how brief.” He said Prince Philip also held the appointments of Admiral of the Fleet of the Royal New Zealand Navy, Field Marshal of the New Zealand Army and Air Chief Marshal of the Royal New Zealand Air Force. “In these roles he enjoyed a special relationship with the New Zealand military, and that carried over to the RSA.” Cambridge RSA president Tony Hill said all RSAs flew their flags at half-mast following the announcement of the Prince’s death, and that the flag at the Hautapu
Prince Philip
Cemetery was also at halfmast. Paul said Prince Philip would be included with all those being remembered at this month’s Anzac Day services, and Rob said the band would be adding the ‘March Heart of Oak’ to the Anzac programme in his honour.
Community house distributes first Easter hampers
Cambridge Community House (CCH) packed and distributed 32 Easter hampers to families in need. The ‘Give an Easter’ initiative, which was a first for CCH, was done in conjunction with Kete Kai, who provided the food, and celebrity cook and food writer Allyson Gofton, who provided the recipes with easy-to-follow instructions. CCH staffers and volunteers helped make up and distribute the Easter hampers. Pictured during the process are, from left, Annette Willis, James Cuming, Jill Dimond, Tash Mataiti, Tarsha Lawrence, Nicky Revell, Andrea Edmonds and Jo Riley.

Network How about an aviation tax? plan tabled NO PLANET B
By Peter Matthews
Two transformational plans for extensive walking and cycling networks in Cambridge and Te Awamutu are up for discussion. They are part of the Urban Mobility proposal being considered for funding in the 2021-2031 Long Term Plan. The plans for each town were created following consultation with residents last year which showed strong support for investment in protected cycleways and shared pathways. Waipā District Council service delivery group manager Dawn Inglis said the plans were a highlevel overview of what the future of walking and cycling could look like in Waipā’s main towns. The proposed networks would create pathways for cyclists to move across Waipā’s main towns, provide connections to key destinations such as schools, and allow residents to get just about anywhere in town safely and easily on a bike, scooter or on foot. Inglis said if funding was allocated, further consultation would be carried out to give residents the chance to have their say on the finer details of the plans. Around $10.5 million in funding is being sought for Urban Mobility which would be rolled out over the next decade. For more information go to www. whatsnextwaipa.nz.

A study published last year concluded that half of the CO2 emitted by the global aviation industry is caused by flights taken by just 1% of the population. In the UK 70% of flights are taken by 15% of the population. And there are plenty of other statistics where those came from - all pointing to the conclusion that the wealthy few are responsible for the majority of aviation emissions, especially since it seems that private jet travel has quietly jumped in popularity since the decline of commercial international services due to Covid-19. A few rich people are subjecting all of the rest of the people to the climatic consequences of their jetset lifestyle. Of course whether or not we would happily enjoy that lifestyle if we could is another subject. What to do about this clearly inequitable situation? A popular opinion on this is that a flight tax would be a good idea: User pays. At first glance this would appear to be a fair solution. Well, if not a solution - an approach. But where would that money go? Most likely straight into the coffers of the governments collecting it. I’ve got a better idea. Each year every person over 18 could be issued with a number of ‘air miles’, so that the total air miles issued would equate to the total miles currently being flown. If a person used all of their allocation within the year and wished to travel further, they would have to buy more air miles on the open market.
So if I had no plans to fly anywhere this year (and the majority of people don’t), but I did plan to buy a new fridge, I could sell my allocation on the open market via an online auction system. Computers do this stuff easily and so management of the scheme, if challenging to start with, would certainly not be difficult. I expect the government would want to clip the ticket along the way but that’s to be expected. Of course they would direct the money towards environmental initiatives - wouldn’t they? In this way those who wish to fly a lot could do so - if they could afford it, and those who do not wish to fly could benefit from those who do. This would surely amount to an ongoing, fair and transparent re-distribution of wealth which would benefit all concerned. The jetsetters would get to keep jetsetting, the stay-at-homers could earn a bit of extra money, the government would get to collect some extra revenue, and most of that could go towards environmental concerns. Seems like a win win win win to me. So that’s sorted out aviation. Now what do we do about rice? Rice? Yes - the greenhouse gas emissions from rice growing around the world are equal to those of the global aviation industry.

Speed dating goes to plan By Viv Posselt
Waipā District Council’s first Speed Dating event held last week under the organisational baton of comedian Te Radar, elicited spirited conversation around the council’s Long-Term Plan, 2021-2031. Visitors shifted every five minutes between tables manned by councillors, senior council staff and members of the Cambridge Community Board. Each was given a consultation document and a submission form to complete if they wanted to. Deputy Mayor Liz Stolwyk was also there. WDC communications and engagement manager Charlotte FitzPatrick said there had been some “robust discussion about the big issues facing our district over the next 10 years – the cycleway between Te Awamutu and Pirongia; Te Awamutu’s Memorial Park; Cambridge’s Lake Te Koo Utu; the council’s proposed urban mobility network; and the options for a resource recovery centre.” She said council was trying to provide a wide range of options to reach residents. “We’re doing meetings, tours, events, digital options, media, advertising, and on-thestreet pop-ups. We’ve tried to be creative in our

Waipā District Council’s economic development manager Steve Tritt and Pirongia ward councillor Clare St Pierre were among those helping answer questions.
approach. I think our Speed Dating event was well received because it provided the chance for residents to have a discussion with councillors in a more informal environment.” In opening, Te Radar urged people to engage with the process and remember council was about more than just roads and cycleways. “They are there to enable communities of people to determine where they want to live and how they want to live. “In these five-minute discussions, there will be no time for pleasantries. You don’t need to know the
background of everything you discuss. This is a chance for you to get information first-hand, not third and fourth hand which is the way it usually works.” He reminded people that 10 years was not that long a time. “Talk about the issues that are important for the next 10 years. I hear planter boxes are one, and a third bridge. What’s that about? We still only have one bridge in Auckland! And land acquisition for cemeteries… do what we do in Auckland, rack ‘em and stack ‘em. That works.” The evening was held at Good George in Cambridge.

Funds raised at last year’s Cambridge Christmas Festival, held in the Town Hall from December 3 to 18, have been distributed to 10 community organisations. A total of $29,217 was raised last year, a figure that delighted Cambridge Christmas Festival Society president Deb Robinson. “We have done really well, particularly when you think we had no international visitors last year. It’s not a record, but the figure does go up exponentially each year. Given that we were unable to meet for three months during the Covid-19 lockdown, this is a great result,” she said. The Cambridge Christmas Festival Society’s success has been recognised in the Waipā Networks 2021 Business Awards. It has been named as a finalist in two categories – Contribution to Tourism (Regional Award), and in the Community
Contribution Award. The winners will be announced at tomorrow’s awards evening at Mystery Creek. Deb said $2500 of the funds raised during December’s festival would go towards placing a new bench seat at Lake Te Koo Utu. Varying amounts of the remainder has been distributed to Cambridge Citizens Advice Bureau, Cambridge Community Patrol, Interlock Waipā Group, Waikato Rivertones Choir, Achievement House, St John Ambulance Cambridge, Cambridge Community House Trust, Parkinson’s NZ Charitable Trust, True Colours Children’s Health Trust, and the Waikato Family Centre. Notification of the payments was made at a special morning tea held at the Cambridge Brass Band rooms in Vogel St, attended by representatives from most of the recipient groups. Society members meet at the band rooms regularly to craft items for the next year’s festival.

Dawai dazzles for Hautapu
A starring role for a debutant marked Hautapu’s launch of a campaign to retain Waikato’s premier club rugby title the title for a second year in a row. Mosese Dawai scored four tries as Hautapu demolished University 72-7 in Cambridge last weekend. Displaying blistering pace not seen on Memorial Park for some years Dawai was the outstanding performer in a dominant first up win for Hautapu. The Waikato rep, a Feilding High product, has previously played for Ōtorohanga. Elsewhere Ōtorohanga and Te Awamutu Sports were both beaten first up. Otorohanga fell 28-22 at Melville, while Sports was beaten 26-15 at home by Fraser Tech. Hautapu was far too strong for a game University side which never stopped competing. The home side dominated across the park and the forwards grabbed eight of the dozen tries scored. Their lineout drive stood out as an area of play where they were ruthlessly efficient for this early stage of the season. Young forwards Elijah Waetford and Tyler McNutt and new backs Quince Ngatai and Tom Maiava also starred. Hautapu’s Development Team, in Pool B, scored an encouraging 20-10 win over a competitive University. Playing into a strong wind and in steady rain Hautapu More Real Estate Ltd before took a while to settle Licensed REAA 2008 t lead 15-10 coming from behind
at the break. They repelled numerous attacks before darting away to score a late try. The standout performers were second five Sam Tupou, back after two years away, skipper Mike Tomsett who was in the thick of things along with prop Marius van de Wall, another on debut. Hautapu re-entered the Colts grade in great fashion with a hard fought 13-3 win against a strong Hamilton Boys High. In a fast paced game of a relatively high standard in wet conditions there was nothing between the two teams at halftime, reflected in the 3-all score line. Hautapu turned with the wind in the second half and took full advantage with Maia George and

Top of the table clash looms
Cambridge football fans can look forward to a top-of-the-table match from the WaiBop Championship this Saturday with the visit of unbeaten Tokoroa to John Kerkhof Park. Only Cambridge and secondplaced Tokoroa have 100% winning records from the first three rounds of competition and this match looks certain to decide which team assumes title favouritism. The game kicks off at 2.45pm and is one of three home games involving the Cambridge club. At 12.30pm, the club’s Waikato Division 4 team hosts Putaruru Rangers and at 2.45pm, the Cambridge D1s play Ngaruawahia United in an Over-35s match. Other club teams are on the road, including the Reds who head to South Auckland to play winless Papatoetoe in the Lotto NRFL second division. The Reds are chasing their third win in a row after beating Hibiscus Coast 4-1 on Easter Monday, and backing up with a 2-1 victory against Claudelands Rovers last Saturday. Goalscorers against Rovers were Ewan Donald and Aston Hurd who has now scored five goals for

the club’s NRFL team and its U-23 reserves team this year. The U-23s lost their match to Claudelands Rovers 2-1, with Willem Dikmans scoring his first goal at that level. In the WaiBop Championship, Cambridge remained in top spot with a 4-2 win at Hamilton Wanderers. Cambridge trailed 0-2 at halftime but stormed back with goals from Haydn Roil (2), skipper Adam Brady and leading scorer Tom
Woutersen. The club also hosted an historic match last Saturday with the playing of the first round of games in a new Waikato league catering for players older than 35. The luck of the draw pitted Cambridge’s two Over-35 teams against each other and the side known as D1s beat Cambridge 2 5-1. Ironically, the first goal in the division was scored by 19-yearold Oscar Thomas, one of three
underage players allowed in each squad. Cambridge D1s other goals came from suitably mature players Miguel Peterle (2), Mariano Castellon and Marciano Stiaque. The Cambridge 2 goal was scored from the penalty spot by playercoach Nick Sickelmore. In Waikato Division 1, Cambridge lost 2-0 to last year’s divisional champions, Claudelands Rovers. In Waikato Division 4, Cambridge started their season strongly with a comfortable 5-0 win in cold, wet and windy conditions at Claudelands Rovers. On Sunday, Cambridge’s women’s team overcame a misfiring first half to storm home for a 5-1 victory against Northern United in the opening game of the 2021 Waikato Women’s Division 2 season. United went a goal up after quarter of an hour and the teams turned around with Cambridge down 1-0 but it did not take long for the home side to bounce back. First, Sophee Rapson-Jones levelled from the penalty spot. Rachel Hill put Cambridge ahead, scoring twice in quick succession. Mariela Robledo made it 4-1
with a well-taken header and Kym Thomasen finished the scoring when she added Cambridge’s fifth. The WaiBOP Federation Y-League got underway last weekend. Cambridge U-13s beat Hamilton Wanderers 6-0 with goals from Luca Savage (2), Luke Brooke-Smith (2), Max Mitchell and Jaxson Makgill. The U-15 boys lost 2-1 at home to Tauranga City. Goalscorer was Theo Susilla.

A rug is a great way to add another layer of insulation a few cheap alternatives. However, DIY double-glazing is the perfect option for a affordable solution. Hardware stores sell secondary glazing kits for as little as $10 per pane. All you need to do is cut the plastic film to size, tape it to the frame and use a hairdryer to shrink it to size. The film won’t last forever, but you’ll significantly reduce heat loss from your windows.
When it comes to keeping heat in a room, how curtains are installed is important.
Easy ways to reduce airborne moisture include using pot lids when cooking, keeping kitchen and bathroom doors shut when steam is present, fitting a Showerdome on your shower and attaching security stays to windows so you can keep your home ventilated while you’re out.
Ensure your curtains and blinds form a good seal with all sides of your window frame. Floor-length curtains are more effective than window sill-length curtains, helping to trap the heat inside and provide fewer possible leaks from the windows.
Portable LPG heaters also fill the air with moisture and cost more to run than electric heaters.

Michael Hurley’s gelding Dragon Baby won its debut race at Sha Tin in Hong Kong on Sunday. Cambridge-based, Michael Hurley is the first New Zealand sole owner and ex-HKJC official to have a horse in training - and now a winner - in Hong Kong. Dragon Baby won comfortably over 1000m in the Class 4 Pottinger Peak Handicap at Sha Tin on Sunday for trainer John Size and jockey Chad Schofield.
New hockey club
Cambridge High School will launch a new hockey club tomorrow night. The sport has been played at the school for more than 60 years, though never under an official club banner, and the school’s history of achievements will be reviewed at a function tonight as part of the launch. The school entered girls’ and boys’ team in the Premier Divisions at Waikato Hockey for the first time last year and has record numbers of players.
Yearbury pipped
Waipā’s Dylan Yearbury was beaten just by 35 seconds in the 2021 New Zealand Enduro Championships opening round last weekend in the forests just south of Tokoroa. That was the gap after roughly six hours of riding on a damp, steep and treacherous pine forest course. Third best rider on the day was Palmerston North’s Paul Whibley, who finished just over a minute behind Yearbury, with Oparau teenager James Scott and Wainuiomata’s record eight-time former New Zealand trials champion Jake Whitaker rounding out the top five finishers. Round two of the series will be a twodayer in Marlborough, on April 24-25.
Cambridge Rugby referees are laying the foundations for their centenary celebrations. The CRRA organisation was established in May 1923 and Steve Morgan, on the organising subcommittee, says though plenty has changed over the last 98 years, the one thing to remain the same is the dedication of the individuals who blow the whistle. “We are well into the planning and are now wading through records and minutes and will start the hunt for previous members. We are looking to create a jersey to be worn by the CRRA members for the 2023 season.” As one of the largest sub associations in the country, CRRA has about 25 members ranging in age from teenagers to one in his 70s The home of the CRRA is the Tom Voyle lounge, under the grandstand at Memorial Park in Cambridge. “Every Monday at 7.30pm you will find a gathering of Rugby Refs, discussing last week’s games, interpretation of the law, receiving their orders for the coming Saturday and of course, just having a good catch up with their like-minded mates,” Morgan says. “Without the referees, the game cannot go on, so new members to this group are always welcome. You will be provided with a uniform, whistle, training and above all an incredibly supportive group, who are keen to help wherever they can. “It’s a very rewarding and satisfying experience, particularly in the younger age groups, these youngsters really look up to the refs.” He says anyone who has been considering blowing the whistle, or looking to contribute to the community, should attend a Monday meeting or contact the refs at cambridgerefs@ gmail.com

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.

Cool kids cooking Holidays and weekends are a great time to let your kids loose in the kitchen. Whether it be tearing up lettuce leaves for a salad and tossing them with a dressing or some simple baking, food preparation can become a fun art form — if you encourage the kids to use their imaginations. However, it’s best to provide some guidelines for success. Such as reading the recipe through first then gathering all the ingredients and equipment required on the bench. With baking it is important to use standard measurements — this means level metric cup and spoon measures. Pour liquids into the measuring cup to the top of the line. Spoon dry ingredients into the measuring cups. Don’t shake or pat them down unless the recipe specifies this, eg brown sugar is often ‘packed’ into the cup. When using measuring spoons, heap the dry ingredients into the spoon, then, using the back of a knife or a spatula, smooth it over the spoon to make it level. Importantly, encourage your kids to clean up as they go rather than have a big pile of dirty dishes and cooking implements at the end. It’s also safer to have a tidy bench on which to work. PIMPED BUTTER CHICKEN A favourite with kids. Butter chicken with veg. The butter chicken paste can be replaced with 1 tablespoon each of mild curry powder and brown sugar combined. 500g skinned and boned chicken breasts 1 onion 300g pumpkin 2 medium carrots, grated 2 tablespoons canola oil 1-2 tablespoons butter chicken paste 2 tablespoons tomato paste 400ml can coconut milk 1 cup frozen peas, thawed Cut the chicken into 2cm cubes. Dice the onion. Peel and seed the pumpkin and cut into 2cm cubes. Grate the carrots. Heat the oil in a medium-large saucepan. Add the onion and sauté on medium heat until softened and golden. Stir in the butter chicken paste and cook for 30 seconds. Add the chicken and stir until lightly coloured. Stir in the tomato paste. Add the pumpkin and carrots and coconut milk. Cover and simmer on low heat for about 15 minutes until the chicken and vegetables are cooked. Add the peas and heat through. Great served with hot

Changes really meet a need
By Andrew Hoggard, President Federated Farmers
Last week two eminently sensible and positive changes to taxation law slipped through almost unnoticed – a welcome relief from the increasingly large pile
of unworkable legislative requirements swamping New Zealanders. Federated Farmers has been key in achieving these changes - working closely last year with Inland Revenue officials on achieving sensible and positive solutions. The most significant and beneficial change is in relation the treatment of goods donated for charitable purposes (technically “donated trading stock”). These changes will be a welcome relief for food banks and the like that rely heavily on donations of goods rather than money. COVID-19 has simply exemplified the importance of such organisations. Until the law was changed last week (backdated to March 2019) donors of trading stock, such as food to food banks and farmers donating livestock via such programmes as ‘Meat the Need’, were legally required to pay tax on the donated trading stock as if it had been sold at market value. That’s gone now. The changes have safeguards in place to ensure they are
genuine donations. Federated Farmers were instrumental in identifying the need to change the legislation as we observed the effects of COVID-19 on urban families and our farmers reached out to help those in need. The second change was to ensure some of the farmers whose cattle were culled as part of the programme to eradicate Mycoplasma bovis would not be unfairly required to pay tax on unearned income. After working constructively with Inland Revenue, the Tax Bill made retrospective changes to the Income Tax Act that will allow farmers to spread the book income generated over six years thereby making sure that tax legislation did not make then worse off. Meat the Need is a charity created in 2020 with the purpose of supplying much-needed meat to City Missions and food banks. Farmers are encouraged to donate livestock (beef, sheep, lamb or deer) via the Meat the Need website (meattheneed.org), or via simply contacting the stock agents of the
charity’s founding partner, Silver Fern Farms. The value of sheep, deer and cattle donations is credited to Meat the Need’s ‘food fund’ and converted into purchase of 500g packets of quality minced red meat to distribute via foodbanks when it is needed. This spreads supply over the year for foodbanks, taking their minds off finding food and getting back to doing the great social work they carry out. The charity’s target this year is to receive 2000 donated animals and with the current count at around 770, there is still a need for more donations. As the charity’s co-founder Wayne Langford told farmers recently: “Donating an animal or two now is crucial in helping us do what we do. You’ll be making a big difference to those most vulnerable in our communities. Providing food is at the core of what farmers do.” You don’t have to be a farmer to donate to Meat the Need.

Why Feds wants 500 migrants By Chris Lewis, Federated Farmers national board member
With the developing and serious workforce shortage on dairy farms top of mind, Federated Farmers and DairyNZ have combined to put the case to government for 500 migrant staff to be allowed into New Zealand to head off critical animal and human welfare issues. A survey conducted by our two organisations last month drew 1150 responses in just one week. Results told us that 49% of dairy farmer respondents were currently short-staffed; 46% had vacancies unfilled for more than three months and nearly a quarter had been unable to fill a gap on their team for more than six months. We’ve strongly made the point that we share the government’s desire to have more Kiwis working in our industry, given it is part of the backbone of our economy and New Zealanders’ standard of living. Our sector has launched Go Dairy and Good Boss campaigns; we have a comprehensive Sustainable Dairying: Workplace Action Plan and many farmers have made changes to rosters and other work conditions to retain staff and attract newcomers. The March survey showed 65% had increased salaries and wages, 42% had adjusted rosters to allow more time off and 36% were boosting efforts on upskilling and training staff. But we’ve also advised the government the simple fact is mid to high-skilled dairy farm roles must be undertaken by suitably skilled people who have the necessary ability, knowledge and competence to ensure good animal welfare and health outcomes, safe plant and machinery operation and pasture and environmental system management. This typically requires a minimum of 2-3
Chris Lewis years’ experience - longer for more senior roles. New Zealanders from outside the sector or in lower-skilled roles (dairy farm assistants) cannot reach this level of competence in time for the upcoming 2021/22 season. We need more migrant workers if we’re to maintain production and the export revenue New Zealand depends upon. The proposed trans-Tasman travel bubble is tipped to ease pressure on MIQ (managed isolation quarantine) places. This may open wider the window of opportunity for the government to meet our sector’s pressing need. Meanwhile, take a bow all you farmers out there who are getting on with the workload short-staffed, making all efforts to retain existing staff, and taking a close look at pay, rosters, accommodation, training and all the rest to make a career in dairy even more attractive and fulfilling.

School opens farm for a day
CAMBRIDGE NEWS | 23
THURSDAY APRIL 15, 2021
St Peter’s School will open its farm doors on Saturday. Owl Farm, which is just out of Cambridge, and owned by the school, is a fully operational dairy farm. The open day will “let people get up close to the action”, demonstration manager Jo Sheridan says. “People wanting a fun day out that doesn’t break the bank won’t need to look far. The open say will mark the first day of the
school holidays. Last year the farm team didn’t get the chance to run their annual open day as a result of the Covid outbreak. “If you live in town you may not get the chance to go on a dairy farm and see how it works,” Jo Sheridan said. “It’s a really cool chance for kids to experience what it is like to be on farm. “And if you are curious about what we do here on Owl Farm, now is your opportunity
Youngsters can get up close to the stock.
to take a look.” “The farm team have organised activities for people to see and do, like patting the friendly calves, watching the cows being milked, checking out the farm’s wetland area, and finding out how dairy farmers produce the top-quality milk we pour on our cereal in the morning.” Owl Farm partners including Lincoln University, Ballance Agri-Nutrients, Westpac and PGG Wrightson Seeds will be on hand
to share their expertise on what it takes to run a top-performing farm. Fonterra Farm Source is lending a milk tanker for people to have a look at, and DairyNZ will have “Rosie the Cow” to entertain children. St Peter’s students will be sharing their experiences of learning on the farm. The open day will run from 10am to 2pm on Saturday on Hanlin Rd, behind St Peter’s School.
The open day will provide people an opportunity to watch milking.
