Councils talk change By Roy Pilott
Mayors and councillors from the Waikato and Bay of Plenty will meet tomorrow in the wake of a Government announcement that local government is in for a shake-up. Local Government Minister Nanaia Mahuta made the announcement last week and signalled the biggest revamp of local government since 1989, when the Waipā, Waikato and Ōtorohanga district councils
and the Waikato Regional Councils were established. Tomorrow’s meeting will bring together civic leaders from Local Government New Zealand Zone 2 - which takes in regional councils, and city and district administrations from Gisborne around to the Coromandel Peninsula and Tauranga, across to the west coast and south to Waitomo and Taupō. Waipā mayor Jim Mylchreest said he would discuss the issue publicly after that meeting.
In Ōtorohanga mayor Max Baxter is nervous about the proposed revamp, but acknowledges the need for a review. The Government had said it would not push for amalgamations but he feared this could be amalgamation by a different name. He acknowledged that some core services of councils were being eroded, notably by the Three Waters reforms, but also believed Local Government had been consistently under resourced.
In light of the changes, he acknowledged that unless councils were repurposed, they would become irrelevant. “If DHBs have failed, is local government the place for the delivery of health? It is a big beast.” Local body politicians appear unlikely to support a proposal for an Auckland style super council. Max Baxter said it would not be workable in such a large area.

Eyes right... Dehziyin Stanley, from Te Awamutu Intermediate, and his pals were getting some early practice in before becoming something of the stars of the Anzac show in Te Awamutu on Sunday. Dozen of youngsters performed a haka watched by servicemen and women outside the RSA building. And thanks to Lance Farrow, a 30-year Te Awamutu resident, hundreds more people got to see it. Lance, who shot pictures for the New Zealand V8 Magazone and works in the transport industry, decided to concentrate on video rather than still pictures at the parade – though he did shoot this picture. The result was an inspiring video which had drawn more than 450 likes on the Te Awamutu Grapevine Page by Tuesday evening – and a unanimous vote of approval in the comments section. Dehziyin is 12 and a year eight student at Te Awamutu intermediate. He loves his sprt – particularly rugby and basketball – and has a deep passion for kapahaka. Mum Donna told the News “he loved taking part in the ANZAC parade - the kapahaka group attended dawn service as well as the 10am parade where Te Awamtu Intermediate, Pekerau and Te Awamutu Primary paid homage together. To view the video, go to the Te Awamutu Region Community Grapevine.

This month we welcome back our adventure columnist Ceana Priest from Outdoor Kid. After spending the summer researching her new Auckland family guidebook, she is back to sharing local walks with us each month.
Picturesque Lake Kareaotahi /Lake Cameron (pictured right) is a surprisingly well-peat lake hidden beside the bustling SH3 at Rukuhia. The walk starts almost opposite Rukuhia School, and there’s plenty of roadside parking on Rukuhia Road. Follow the path downhill and turn right at the first junction to loop around the lake. The trail is often a little overgrown, but this adds to the adventure’s charm. Navigate your way past towering flax bushes and through swathes of grass. Be prepared for soggy shoes mid-winter or after heavy rain. There are a handful of viewing areas dotted around the peat lake – including maimai – which let you peer into the murky depths of the 3.4-hectare lake. Little critters adapted to living in the tannin-stained waters can be seen darting
through the shallows. Look out for the whirligig beetle, which scoots across the water using its broad, paddle-like legs in search of prey. On the lake’s northern side, an open grassy area is a perfect place for a break, and the nearby wobbly pontoon will entertain older kids. There’s plenty of restoration work underway by volunteers of the Lake Cameron Care Group. You may see a small request on the entrance sign to spend a few minutes helping the group by pulling away grass overcrowding young plants as you stroll around the lake. Information Time: Allow 45 minutes for the loop. Accessibility: There’s a mix of dirt paths and grassed areas. No bikes allowed. You’d have to be keen to push a buggy around the lake because of the soft mown paths. Dogs: Allowed on leads. How to get there: Parking on Rukuhia Road near SH3.

Growing pains
Continued from page 1
John Maxwell said Change is inevitable. Growth is optional. Yes, ‘change’ is inevitable. However, ‘Change’ does not necessarily come from ‘growth’, as ‘change’ can occur within if there exists strong leadership. In Waipa’s case ‘growth’ is not optional. Ratepayers may not want ‘growth’, have you ever considered that Council? ‘Growth’ is being un-democratically forced upon ratepayers without their approval/say, bringing with it financial hardship, greater congestion, greater demand on neglected infrastructure, and greater demand on resources – and it comes with a price tag of higher rates. Ironically, Council on numerous occasions have been quoted as saying ‘growth funds itself’. Well, if that statement was true then rates would not be increasing, full stop. George Orwell has an aptly appropriate quote for this particular circumstance ‘political language is designed to make lies sound truthful’. There is only one other rational explanation for rates to increase, and that’s our Council has allowed our key infrastructure to be neglected – this is not of ratepayers’ doing but directly attributed to poor administration and leadership of our district by Council – if this is and more likely the reason/cause (based on national tv media coverage that confirms Councils have been failing their people), why then should ratepayers be expected to bail out a Council which is not being held to account for evidently poor administration and leadership or our district?

Waikato Regional Council chair Russ Rimmington said the region running from Coromandel to Taupō was too big for that. “I think the answer would be to have the smaller councils consider themselves and their populace to have a voluntary kind of merger perhaps, Waitomo, Ōtorohanga, that kind of area,” he said. The changes are likely to put focus on Ōtorohanga, which has previously resisted moves to put it into the same district as Te Kuiti. But there may be support from further south in Taumarunui for a district which is based on King Country boundaries. Mayor Baxter questioned the community of interest between Taumarunui and Ōtorohanga. He thought it more likely an administration covering Waitomo, Ōtorohanga and Waipā would be considered. The call for change is in keeping with some significant moves by the Government. It has already opened the way for Māori wards – a move which has encouraged Ōtorohanga, Palmerston

North and Tauranga to follow Wairoa, New Plymouth, South Taranaki and Northland councils and announce they will be in place for next year’s elections. The Government has also signalled plans to take the controversial issue of fluoride in water out of the hands of local bodies. It has also followed up a revamp the country’s tertiary education sector by announcing plans to abolish Health Boards and create a centralised health agency. If the moves to date are any signal, then a revamp of local government will involve more shotgun weddings than divorces. Waikato, population 500,000, now has a dozen councils and 136 councillors. Waikato Chamber of Commerce chief executive Don Good says that’s “12 replications, 12 governance bodies, 12 bureaucracies, 12 large cost-centres and 12 voices singing off separate song sheets.” Read Don Good’s views on page 9

Waipa District Council staff are still sorting through submissions on the proposal for a Māori ward n Waipā. The News will have coverage as soon as the submissions have been sorted.
No cheques please
Residents will no longer be able to pay by cheque at Waipā District Council after this Friday. Council announced the decision in March, joining New Zealand banks and other organisations nationwide in removing cheques as a payment option.
Farm company prosecuted
A Taupō based farming company, a company director and an effluent spreading company have been convicted and fined a total of $194,250 for discharging animal effluent into the environment from three large dairy farming operations. Waikato Regional Council’s Regional Compliance Manager Patrick Lynch said it was “fair to say that both the regulator and the wider dairy industry are very disappointed with the breaches uncovered across this substantial farming enterprise.” Gardon Limited ran an 1150 cow dairy operation at Oruanui, north of Taupō.
Workshops under fire
A taxpayer funded programme called Local Democracy Reporting – which funds journalists to work for Radio New Zealand, the New Zealand Herald publications and Stuff and some community newspapers – has this week lifted the lid on the use of workshops by local bodies. Local bodies have used the facility for two decades and in some cases have effectively stymied debate in public. The issue is expected to be reviewed by the Office of the Ombudsman. The report said Waipa District Council held 199 workshops in the last year and 108 were open to the public.

Fundraising scheme gains momentum By Viv Posselt
A new initiative linking businesses and their customers with a novel opportunity to support a range of community groups is being seen as a fundraising gamechanger. Called CommUnity, the initiative works by having shoppers purchase from participating retailers and merchants, who then donate between three to five percent of the transaction to a community group of the shopper’s choice. Behind it is former New Zealand international cricketer John Parker. The Waikato-based sportsman has spent much of his life fundraising to help community groups, and decided the time was ripe for a new type of fundraising initiative, one that would fill the gap increasingly being felt as fundraising through gaming loses its appeal. Taking on the role of CommUnity ambassador for the Waipā region is an equally energetic and communityminded sportsman, Sam Bosworth. Sam is a successful coxswain with Rowing New Zealand. Since starting his rowing career in 2009, he has helped various rowing teams win well at international competition level. He is now just days away from flying to Lucerne in Switzerland to cox the 2021 Rowing NZ Elite
Men’s Eight, where he hopes success at the 2021 FISA Final Olympic Qualification Regatta will gain the team entry to the Tokyo Olympics. In the meantime, armed with boundless enthusiasm for CommUnity, and tertiary studies in business and marketing, he is taking the initiative to businesses within his region – Cambridge, Te Awamutu and Kihikihi. “There are ambassadors for other areas across the North Island – Bay of Plenty, Tauranga, Thames, Hamilton, Auckland and so on,” he said. “Our job is to get merchants and community groups on board and raise awareness about CommUnity.” Sam said the app will list participating businesses, making it easier for people to support outlets that have signed up to CommUnity, knowing that a portion of their spend will go towards a worthwhile community cause. “Once the app is up and running, it will be very easy for people to use,” he added. “Each business will have a sign on their counter bearing a QR code, and all the customer needs to do to participate is open the app and hold their phone up to the code.” The first business to come on board in Cambridge is Absolute Coffee House. Owner Mel Teesdale said she was delighted to support the initiative as an easy way for people

to give something back to their community. Sam reckons it is a ‘fantastic idea’ and is happy to be a part of it. “We’re not doing this for profit, it is all with a view to helping the community. Besides, I’m doing a lot of networking with this … forming some great connections. It is really good experience for me.”
Sam can be contacted for information via email at A08@community.kiwi. He will be able to pick up his emails while in Switzerland between May 7 and June 3, but those needing information on the ground in Waipā can contact CommUnity’s regional manager, Travis Eggink at travise@comm-unity.kiwi in the interim
Masons turn up the heat By Viv Posselt
Members from two regional Freemason lodges spent time recently processing and shifting loads of firewood they intend selling in support of the Casting for Recovery (CfR) programme. Cambridge’s Alpha Lodge 81, and the Te Awamutubased Waipā Masonic Lodge 119 are working in conjunction for the first time in the ‘firewood for charity’ initiative. Once one of their number sourced an ideal wood source in Ōhaupō, the lodges joined forces to chop, move and market the wood to support the CfR programme. Now well-established in New Zealand, Casting for Recovery originated in the
United States with the aim of enhancing the quality of life for women with breast cancer. It does that by offering free retreats that combine peer support with the therapeutic sport of fly fishing. Women all over the country attend weekend retreats where they are pampered with massages, offered make-up advice and more, and are taught fly-fishing by some of the country’s finest anglers. In early February, a donation of $4300, raised through the Freemasons and Waipā Masonic Lodge 119, was presented to members of the Casting for Recovery team who organise the annual retreats at Wharepapa, south of Te Awamutu.
Alan Read, Worshipful Master of Cambridge’s Alpha Lodge 81, said they were hoping the sales of the firewood, which is all gum, will raise around $5000 for
Casting for Recovery. “We have already sold some locally but hope we can reach our target through selling it all,” he said. “Anyone wanting a load
can call me on 027 297 5058 [after hours] to make an arrangement. We’re selling it at $100 a cube, which is a good price, and we can deliver if required.”

Cadets unit on the rise
By Blair Voorend
For many Anzac Day is special and for the young cadets it’s a way of honouring and continuing the tradition. With the help of a new commander, Te Awamutu’s cadets are doing just that. Lieutenant Dave Evans is the unit commander of Hamilton City Cadet Unit, but after receiving an email sent out to all Waikato cadet officers looking for volunteers to help keep Te Awamutu Community Cadet Unit he knew his help was needed. This was because the previous unit commander was retiring. “This role is for 12 months to help establish the unit and try to bring in more cadets and parents and staff so that there is a good structure for the unit going forward,” Evans said. He previously spent 13 years in the British Army 1981 to 1994, in the Royal Corps of Signals. Serving in the UK, Cyprus, Belize, Germany and the Falkland Islands before moving to New Zealand. Cadet Under Training Keira Marx attended the camp and said that it is special being part of the cadets as it gives her the opportunity to honour those who have served before her. Anzac Day was a special opportunity for that. Three cadets from Te Awamutu attended an overnight Anzac camp organised by the Hamilton City Cadet Unit as part of Anzac celebrations. These three cadets joined in with 35 cadets from HCCU. Saturday night saw them practice a bit of drill before final preparations were done to their uniforms. The next day at 4am saw everyone up dressed and eating a small breakfast before being ferried down to the south end of Victoria St for the dawn service, then it was back to base camp for a good fry up breakfast before attending the civic
parade at 10am. They then joined the veterans back at the Hamilton RSA to enjoy the rest of the day. The cadets mingled with the veterans and chatted and listened to their stories and some got to dance with them.
They received a round of applause as they left the RSA. Going forward this is something the TACCU would like to do locally. There are currently 10 cadets at TACCU, but are always looking for like minded youth who fancy a bit of a challenge and more to join the unit.

Possibilities like keeping our way of life intact; our kids being able to learn without worrying about interruptions; or being able to plan gatherings with whānau, or team trips away, without fear of them getting cancelled. Immunity can bring us all this, as well as more certainty in our jobs, and more confidence in our businesses. With the strength of an immune system made up of all of us, together we can, and will, create more freedom, more options, and more possibilities for everyone.

Mayor optimistic, long term By Blair Voorend
As Ōtorohanga District Council start consultation on their Long Term Plan, Mayor Max Baxter sees the plan as an opportunity for the district to revitalise and build for the ever growing population. “With Auckland’s population expanding and an ever growing move south districts like us are seeing the benefits with more people coming our way and moving here, so this plan is to help build for a stronger region,” Baxter said. Big ticket items for consultation include an urban centres upgrade plan, an accelerated waters programme and a food waste collection service. The region is now in a strong growth phase – since 2018 its population has increased by more than 500 – and this growth is expected to continue. They council reports some “spare capacity” in its infrastructure, but also a need to plan for and deliver upgrades that
can cater for more people and increased business activity. Over the last 10-15 years, the council have taken a ‘do the minimum’ approach to its services and maintaining the infrastructure supporting those services. That low-spend approach meant very low rates and a lean council organisation, and has left the council in a strong financial position as a result. Max Baxter said that after years of being able to slowly tick along and keeping things rolling over it was the region’s time to invest and grow. “Our financial strategy provides a framework for making decisions and outlines how we intend to manage our finances prudently for the next 10 years, and the impacts on rates, debt and levels of services. “It supports our vision of being a place ‘Where Kiwi can fly, a Diverse, Inclusive and Unique District’, and aids council’s move from austerity to vibrancy.”

Councillor praise for staff By Blair Voorend
Waipa councillors praised staff for their work in the recent consultation process at their full council meeting this week. The community has presented a steady stream of submissions on the plan. At the meeting on Tuesday many councillors discussed how well the community engagements have been of late around the Long Term Plan. Councillor Andrew Brown said that like many other councillors he attended

a number of community consultations and events around public discussion and feedback on the districts Long Term Plan and said that the work staff had put in was great to help communicate with the public on the plan. Councillor Philip Coles said he attended the councillor meet and greet night at Good Union a few weeks back as well as attending a consultation stand during the day in Cambridge and said that the feedback had been great. “I went to one of the consultation
stands just outside BNZ in Cambridge the other week and it was great to see a large number of the community coming out and providing a lot of great constructive feedback.” This positive feedback has been highlighted after Councillor Susan O’Regan brought to light online abuse over the handling of Te Awamutu’s Memorial Park plan. Submissions for Waipa’s Long Term Plan closed on Tuesday.

OPINION
FAITH IN WAIPĀ
A Chamber perspective
Freedom – and protecting it
By Don Good, Chief Executive, Waikato Chamber of Commerce
By Christine Bryant , Lay Minister, St John’s Anglican Church
The Waikato Chamber of Commerce has been advocating for the amalgamation of local councils for many years. This year it has become the elephant in the Long Term Plan room that no council in the Waikato is acknowledging. Amalgamation needs to be pursued willingly to a destination we all want, or we will have it foisted on us in a manner that we do not want by Central Government. At stake is strong local democratic representation and also bureaucratic efficiency. If we do not have the conversation, we will not have our combined voice heard in the outcome. The proposed Three Waters legislation will separate out a large proportion of local council revenue to a quasi-government organisation that focusses solely on water across a large region. By taking that revenue it will diminish substantially the functions of local councils and the consequent vacuum will form the basis of some form of consolidation of those local councils by central government. Waikato local government has always been riven by petty patch protection, but business is finding their boundaries artificial and arbitrary, costly to work with, time consuming, illogical, and unproductive. There are 12 territorial authorities across the Waikato, governing 500,000 people. 12 replications, 12 governance bodies, 12 bureaucracies, 12 large cost centres, 12 voices singing off separate song sheets, and unfortunately 12 separate entities with different rules for business to deal with. Waipā families and businesses work, play and live across those boundaries. Those boundaries are unnecessary
Last Sunday New Zealand commemorated Anzac Day. We remembered the sacrfice of the young, adventurous Kiwis who sailed to war in WWI, WWII, to Korea, Malaya, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan - a formidable list of geopolitical events when the “jaw-jaw” advocated by Winston Churchill didn’t work and “warwar” was the inevitable result. It is glib to say the soldiers fought for freedom but, for many, freedom is a fuzzy concept because we enjoy all the freedoms set out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 1948, supported by a Bill of Rights. Our freedoms are enshrined in law and cannot easily be overturned. As Bailey Quinn reminded the crowd in his admirable address at the Dawn Service, it is important for young people to understand what a sacrifice was made when men and women put their lives on hold for the sake of others and to remember them with gratitude. No one is too young to learn what freedom means, nor to accept that we are all responsible for protecting our freedoms and the freedoms of others. When our grandchildren were six and four, we read Glyn Harper’s story of the liberation of Le Quesnoy, a small French town under German occupation since 1914. Most readers will know that 135 New Zealanders lost their lives in the last week of WWI, but NZ forces succeeded in liberating the town with no loss of civilian life - a fact for which the populace is still grateful. Uniquely in France, they commemorate this on Anzac Day, not only with a service of remembrance, but also by hosting any Kiwis present to lunch. In 2018 we planned a family trip to France. Despite the young age of the children, we visited some WWI sites. One place which made a deep impression on us was the International Memorial Wall, a massive copper wall erected in 2014, with the names
hurdles. They create unnecessary complexity. They create competition rather than collaboration. They have no natural logic. The lines that define these territories bear no resemblance to reality. Drawn in the 80s, they are archaic and are holding back the Waikato from achieving a prosperous future The Waikato Chamber of Commerce is not advocating a super council but suggests the process of amalgamation needs to be spurred on with our voters, ratepayers and businesses contributing to the conversation. There are lessons to be learnt from the Auckland super council model. It has not been without its faults, but from a business point of view, it is one homogenous area in terms of the rules and regulations. That makes it very easy for businesses to work with. We should be looking at both what was successful and what did not work as the previous councils of Auckland were merged together. Without dismissing the difficulty to act, the Chamber questions whether local councils have pursued discussions on amalgamation with robust energy, if at all. There is nothing in their Long Term Plans, no leadership, nor presentations to voters on what amalgamating councils could look like when Three Waters goes ahead. The Chamber of Commerce wants the region to have a united and stronger voice but one involving less bureaucracy. We will not put a figure on what we see as the optimum number of councils for the Waikato but want a discussion to start as soon as possible.
WEEKEND VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
Can you help us make a difference? We are looking for volunteers to fill positions at our Hospiceshop located at 104 George Street, Te Awamutu. We have Saturday shifts available and require people for both Front and Back of Shop positions, people sorting clothing and bric-a-brac to go out to be sold, and people willing to be part of serving our customers.

of some 580,000 soldiers, Allies and Germans, who died on the Western Front in WWI. We also attended the ceremonies at Le Quesnoy which provided a valuable lesson for the young ones - Never forget those who fought and died for freedom. Their lives were precious. Numerous countries still deny freedoms to their people: freedom to practice one’s faith, freedom to criticise authorities, freedom to contest elections, freedom to gain an education, and so on. The fourth mark of mission of the Anglican Church addresses these issues: to transform unjust structures… to challenge violence and to pursue reconciliation and peace. If we committed to this, it would mean all could “have life in all its fulness” (John 10:10). Not an abundance for the few at the expense of the many, but the ability to enjoy all the freedoms which enable us to contribute to our community. It is not the responsibility of the Defence Force alone to protect freedom, but the duty of us all to act wherever we detect injustice. In Micah 6:8 we read: “What does the Lord require of you? To act justly, to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God”. We rightly remember the sacrifice of so many, but war is a tragedy. Let us do everything we can to right wrongs by peaceful means.

Sports climb ladder WaiBop teams win
Te Awamutu recorded its second win in the Waikato men’s premier rugby competition – on a day when the town’s top rugby and soccer clubs scored wins over University. TA Sports moved up to sixth on the ladder, leaving the students pointless at the foot of the table – a situation also replicated in the WaiBop football championship. It sets up an intriguing battle this weekend when Ōtorohanga visits Albert Park for the main game on Saturday. Sports’ 31-15 win in Hamilton was one of four away victories on Saturday – only
Matamata, 32-21 winners over Melville, won at home. Fraser Tech romped to a third successive win, 45-14 at Morrinsville to remain three points clear. Hautapu thumped Old Boys 50-0 in Hamilton and Ōtorohanga’s 47-41 win at Marist left them second and third on the table. In the first division where Leamington and Hinuera have recorded three wins from three Pirongia and Ōhaupō stayed with the pace to be third and fourth win wins over Frankton and Putaruru.
Senior Waikato rugby results
Ngaruawahia in second and Taupo and Ōtorohanga equal third. The King Country club hosts West Hamilton on Saturday. Te Awamutu’s run of high scoring games continue in Hamilton and Bradley Eggleston is now the league’s leading scorer with six goals. The team travels to Tauranga to play third placed Old Blues on Saturday. Te Awamutu will stage a junior festival on Saturday for Te Awamutu, Ohaupo and College juniors. Players will take part in games at Sherwin Park from 9:00am.

Oparau’s James Scott is a relative rookie when it comes to enduro bike racing, but his dominant performance in Marlborough at the weekend made a mockery of all that. The talented teenager tackled his first ever enduro event last year and now, three days into his 2021 enduro campaign, he has climbed into the top step of the podium. Scott finished fourth overall at round one of the enduro nationals near Tokoroa two weeks ago and then, encouraged by that success, he headed south for the double-header second round in Marlborough. Scott finished fifth overall on Saturday’s first of two days of racing in Marlborough, but then stunned everyone when he topped the timing sheets in all four of Sunday’s “special tests”, winning the day outright, finishing 54 seconds overall ahead of Cambridge’s national enduro No.2 Dylan Yearbury. Yearbury had won the previous day and so these combined results gave Yearbury the overall win for the weekend, with Scott finishing runner-up and Helensville’s 2021 series leader Tom Buxton claiming third. So, after two of five rounds thus far, Yearbury is in the No.1 position for the championship overall, with Buxton now dropping back to second and Scott improving from fourth to third overall.
many foods — especially vegetables and fruits. Jams, chutneys and relishes also require less liquid — about one quarter less than in a traditional recipe. Remember, the more food in the microwave the longer it takes to cook. So if you double the size of a recipe — a meatloaf for example — it will take almost twice as long to cook as the recipe states. Because they cook quickly, meats
and bakes don't develop their usual rich colour. But cakes can be dusted with icing sugar or cocoa to enhance their appeal; and meats can be scattered with fresh herbs or drizzled with a sauce. NB. The recipes following were cooked in a 1100 watt microwave oven. If using a lower watt oven you may have to increase the cooking times by a minute or two.
Tivita Davidson was already celebrating this try before dotting down for Ōhaupō during its 27-19 reserves clash against Putaruru on Saturday.
Flavours
Ōtorohanga and Te Awamutu scored nine goals between them in scoring wins in the WaiBop football league on Saturday. Premiership Ōtorohanga condemned Claudelands Rovers to a fifth successive loss with a 4-0 home win while Te Awamutu notched its second win in the Championship, beating Unicol reserves 5-4 in Hamilton. And the club followed that up with a 10-0 win over WaiBop championship leaders in the Chatham Cup the following say. Unicol’s top team has a two-point lead at the top of the Premiership, which has

Micro magic
Why should we be utilising our microwave ovens more? Because they use less power than traditional ovens, they save time and often foods are higher in nutritional goodies than if boiled or steamed. Less moisture is lost from the food as there are no radiant elements in standard microwave ovens to heat and thus dry the air. This means that minimal liquid is required for cooking
Asian-Glazed Salmon
Orange & Lemon Marmalade
So simple, so mouth-watering. Glaze: 1 tablespoon lime or lemon juice 2 tablespoons each: brown sugar, soy sauce 1 tablespoon each: hoisin sauce, julienned root ginger 1/2 teaspoon each, diced chilli, crushed garlic Salmon: 2 small boned salmon fillets, 200-250g in total Combine the glaze ingredients in a microwave bowl. Mix well. Cook on high for 30 seconds. Stir and continue cooking for another 30 seconds. The glaze should be thickened. Place the salmon skin-side down in a small microwave baking dish. Brush with the glaze. Cover loosely with baking or waxed paper. Cook on high for 2 minutes or until just cooked through. Spoon more glaze over the cooked salmon. Serves 2.
Take care removing the very hot bowl of marmalade from the microwave. 1 large orange 1 large or 2 medium lemons 2 1/4 cups boiling water 3 cups sugar Quarter the fruit and discard the pips. Chop finely. (This can be done in a food processor.) Place the fruit in a large microwave jug or bowl and cover with the boiling water. Cover and stand overnight. Next day, bring the fruit to the boil in the microwave, about 10 minutes. Stir in the sugar until almost dissolved. Microwave for about 20 minutes until setting point (104°C) is reached. Pour into hot sterilised jars and seal. Makes about 4 cups.
Curried Meatloaf This quick meal can be garnished with a topping of your choice. 1 tablespoon curry powder 1/4 cup tomato sauce 1 clove garlic, crushed 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 1 egg, lightly beaten 1/2 cup each: fresh breadcrumbs, sultanas 750g lean minced beef Topping: 2-3 tablespoons dukkah or chopped herbs or 1 tablespoon ground paprika or sumac Combine the first five ingredients and mix well. Mix into the mince together with the breadcrumbs and sultanas. Form into a loaf and pat into a 22cm x 13cm microwave loaf pan. Cover loosely and cook on 50% (1/2) power for about 10-12 minutes. The internal temperature should be 70°C. Remove from the oven and stand for 5 minutes. Remove from the loaf pan and place on a serving dish. Sprinkle with one of the toppings. Serves about 6.

Pellet fires are growing in popularity Pellet fires are growing in popularity in the Waikato with people who want a clean and efficient form of home-heating. The sight of a burning flame without the problems of chopping, stacking and carting wood around is a winner. Pellet fires have many advantages such as: They’re easier to use than a conventional woodburner. They light electrically – simple push of the button. Some models can be thermostatically controlled or switched on or off using a timer, WiFi is also available! They have versatile flue options including installation horizontally through an external wall.
The pellets are made from sawmill waste – an abundant renewable resource, so burning them is carbon-neutral and very environmentally friendly. Pellets are automatically fed by a hopper, so no need to constantly restock the fire and you only need to fill the hopper once or twice a week. Models include freestanding, insert and also a Pellet fire boiler. Less than one percent of the fuel burnt is left as ash, which means the ashpan needs to be emptied only a few times a year.

The growing popularity of pellet fires compared to gas and electric
There are many different heating systems but over recent years pellet fires have seemed to lead the way over many gas and electric options. Open fires are often very inefficient and because they draw cold air in, they can actually make the rest of the house feel colder. To fill that gap of a traditional fire you can opt for a wood pellet burner, which looks very similar to a conventional wood burner but requires special wooden pellets.
Furthermore, they are often permitted to be installed in areas where zoning forbids retrofitted wood burners.

However, as they use electricity to start up, they’re not completely self-sufficient. Gas fires have been a common option in the past and can be fuelled by LPG (propane) or natural gas, however, reticulated gas is predominantly available in the North Island.

They also tend to have high installation costs and may be higher especially if you want a gas line installed.

Even electric heaters may come in handy for use in rooms that need infrequent heating and in small areas where you need warmth quickly they are an expensive option compared to some other methods.
