St Peter’s Here’s how head off school St Peter’s Cambridge has cited privacy issues for not explaining the absence Dale Burden of its executive principal.

It is understood Dale Burden has not returned to school since the new term began and neither has wife Yevette Williams, who is a deputy principal.

The News understands the couple are still living in the school-provided house at the front of the school grounds.

The school said it cannot comment on the issue, other than to say it is school as usual and St Peter’s is operating normally.

It’s a big week for the school, which has the final night of its stage production Chitty Chitty Bang Bang today (Thursday).

Mr Burden has been head of the private school since 2016.

Campus prinicipal Julie Small has reportedly stepped in to take over all teaching and learning matters.

Ms Small was previously principal at Fairfield College but resigned in 2011 after a commissioner was brought in.

From there she went to Mount Roskill Grammar School as one of two associate principals before joining St Peter’s in 2016.

Paul Martin (left) was giving instructions at a Tackle Clinic for aspiring rugby players last Saturday at Hautapu. The clinic was established to teach children to position their heads in the correct position when making a safe and correct tackle. It attracted about 100 youngsters from Waipa and Hamilton schools. Completing the clinic is a prerequisite for children progressing from Ripper Rugby. Paul Martin is Waikato Rugby Union’s Game Developer for primary and secondary schools.

Building boom continues

By Mary Anne Gill

A new primary school, retirement village, shopping centre, recreation facilities and 276 residential lots are on the plans for a Cambridge subdivision.

Ground work has started on the Cambridge Road site opposite Te Awa Lifecare.

The Ministry of Education has confirmed it has bought 4ha of land in the development for a primary school.

Katrina Casey, the ministry’s deputy secretary Sector Enabled and Support, said Cambridge’s growth had surpassed its expectations and she compared the town’s urban growth challenges to that of

Hamilton.

Cambridge has been earmarked as a priority growth area through the ministry’s FutureProof Strategy.

By 2031 it estimates there will be an additional 400-600 primary and 500-1000 secondary school students in Cambridge.

Rural schools like Goodwood, Hautapu and Kaipaki had picked up some of the existing growth, but the pressure was still on the town schools, the ministry revealed in its Education Growth Plan.

There are already an additional 140 students at primary schools, 70 at intermediate and 270 at secondary school this year. Cambridge Middle School had already reached capacity.

The next Budget round is expected

to grant more money for temporary and/or permanent accommodation.

Even the rural schools will need more capital to increase capacity.

There are two kōhanga reo and one kura up to year eight but no provision to support whanāu wanting wharekura schooling up to year 13.

Children eligible for specialist learning as part of the ministry’s Ongoing Resourcing Scheme currently have limited options, the report says. The new primary school would provide learning support space.

Growth at Cambridge High School can be accommodated at the existing site. “Property development at Cambridge High School, including in

The subdivision application, made by 3Ms of Cambridge Ltd, is a non-complying activity under the council’s District Plan. The council received five submissions opposing the development when submissions closed on April 13.

According to Companies Office records, 3Ms of Cambridge directors are Michael Crawford, Mitchell Plaw, Matthew Smith and Philip Smith.

The shareholders are Grantchester Farms Ltd of Cambridge and MKP Property Developments Ltd. Independent commissioners will consider the five oppositions at a hearing starting later this month.

Has anybody stopped to ask the question: why does Cambridge need growth? A responsible community should be looking at reducing its population not increasing it. Growth means more people; more people means more carbon. Growth also means more pressure on our infrastructure. We already have problems supplying water to our Karapiro Residents. We have problems with insufficient parking in town. Our bridges are congested, although our council refuses to recognise this fact. It seems to me the only people to benefit from growth are land agents and property developers. Growth does not benefit our existing population, just the reverse, as we are left dealing with the problems created by the added pressure on as civic amenity’s. So, why do we need growth? Nobody has asked our existing ratepayers if they wanted 2000 extra houses built here or, if they wanted their town turned into a city. It seems to me the topic of growth may be a good topic for this paper to debate.

I hope the people of our country and our councillors who are soon to make a decision on Maori wards are doing their research. Particularly around labour’s “He Puapua” vision where they plan to have a two-system state, one governed by Māori with separate health, court and justice systems, and that’s just a start. Wards are part of this vision, which are on the table right now, with no mandate from all New Zealanders. It’s covert politics and has very concerning consequences if allowed to continue.

now

This week, as always, we’ve had incidences where we have dealt with people breaching Court Bail conditions. These breaches have greatest impact when they relate to conditions around contact with victims or witnesses involved in a case. Having recently explained a bit about the incident response process, I thought I would now explain the process of bail.

When someone is arrested and charged with committing an offence, they first agree to Police Bail conditions. Bail conditions are put in place to protect victims and witnesses and reduce the likelihood of further offending. These usually include conditions to reside at a particular address, not to contact victims/witnesses in the case and may include further conditions such as not offering violence to any person or property, not to go to a certain street or town, not to consume illicit drugs or alcohol, not to drive a vehicle or similar as appropriate to the particular circumstances. Sometimes, subject to the nature of their offending, people may

also be given a curfew between which times they must stay at home and come to the door if checked by Police to ensure compliance.

After the person’s first appearance, the court then issues Court Bail conditions. Often these are the same as the initial Police Bail conditions, however they may be changed or added to depending on discussions in court.

The person subject to the conditions will in both cases sign a document outlining those conditions and receive a copy so they will be fully aware of what is required of them.

If a person breaches their bail conditions, for example contacts a victim (directly or indirectly) or is not home when checked for a curfew, they may be arrested by Police when located and held to appear in court at the earliest possible time. Depending on the time and day of their arrest, this may mean they are held in Police custody overnight.

If a person develops a pattern of repeatedly breaching their bail and/or continuing new offending whilst already on bail for an active charge, Police may then oppose bail being

granted at all. This effectively asks for the person to be remanded in custody until their next court appearance to prevent ongoing harm.

During the court case, the officer in charge of the case will be in contact with victims and witnesses and they will be advised of the relevant bail conditions in place to protect them. It is important that any actions which breach an offender’s bail are reported to Police at the time they occur, to ensure we can hold the offender accountable. This also means the full nature of the person’s conduct whilst on bail is available for consideration in court.

If you are involved in a prosecution and have any questions about the progress or process, the best first point of call is the Officer in charge of the file. If you are unsure who that is, call 105 and the call taker will be able to find out and have them return your call.

SINCE 1974

Patronage at Waipā’s two libraries is on the up with 553 new users signed up in the first quarter of the year taking the number of patrons in Te Awamutu to 15,438 and 20,640 in Cambridge.

Statistics were released to the council’s Strategic Planning and Policy committee last week.

From January 1 to March 31, Cambridge Library issued 70,680 books compared to Te Awamutu’s 38,537.

Children/teen books were the most popular at both libraries.

The libraries’ fixed computers now have free internet access to assist people with digital literacy and to help job seekers. The council secured funding from the New Zealand National Library Partnership Fund to provide the browsing service until June 30 next year and since its introduction on March 1, it

was well utilised, said community services manager Sally Sheedy.

“Unfortunately, at the same time as providing this free service, computers within both libraries Sally Sheedy have not been working to expected levels. Council’s IT department are investigating solutions around the issues being experienced,” she said.

The Cambridge lending figures are likely to be used by Cambridge Community Board members when they make their submission to the council’s Long Term Plan this month. One of the board’s seven submissions to the plan is for a new public library in Cambridge.

The others are to improve use of the Fergusson (Low Level) Bridge, close Empire Street as a pedestrian-only area, support building a network of cycling routes, full implementation of the Lake Te Koo Utu concept plan, ensure good connections to the proposed Cambridge destination playground and for council to partner with a community organisation or group to develop a resource recovery centre.

Briefs…

Liquor issues

Six Waipā premises may face charges for selling alcohol to minors. This follows an operation held in March by the council with assistance from the police, Waipā District Councillors heard last week.

Heritage fund

More funds will be made available from the Waipā Heritage Fund, established in 2013, to assist with the preservation, enhancement and showcasing of the district. Over $530,000 has been approved for projects in Waipā since the fund started. For details go to www.waipadc.govt.nz/ heritagefund.

New village

Construction has started on the Lauriston Park Retirement Village extension in Leamington. The work will include upgrading Thompson Street. At the same time, a commissioner panel is considering a plan change to enable work to commence on the Sanderson Retirement Village in Te Awamutu.

Rivertones win

The Waikato Rivertones Chorus, featuring Waipā based members, picked up the Audience Choice award at the annual convention of Sweet Adelines NZ in Christchurch earlier this month.

Best in pink

Shops in Cambridge and Te Awamutu will ‘pink up’ their window displays next week in support of the global antibullying initiative, Pink Shirt Day. The organisers, Violence Free Waipa, want residents of both towns to look at their window displays, vote for their favourite, and go into the draw to win a prize.

Ballots will be collected on May 29, with the winners to be announced on May 21, Pink Shirt Day.

MĀORI WARDS:

Councillors muzzled

By Roy Pilott

Waipā’s Mayor Jim Mylchreest says his councillors cannot indicate their opinions on the Māori ward issue before they vote on it next week.

He says if a councillor expresses an opinion on the issue, he or she could be banned from taking part in the debate because it would suggest “predetermination”.

Councillors fear that if that happened, any decision they make could be compromised.

The view is backed by Local Government New Zealand.

The News asked all councillors for their views on submissions received on the issue, which way they

planned to vote and whether they believed there should be a change in the number of council seats for the 2022 elections.

The News believes that despite the lack of answers, there is an appetite within council to introduce a Māori ward.

Local Government Minister Nanaia Mahuta announced a law change in February which gave councils sole authority to add Māori seats - where previously the electorate could force a referendum.

But since that change Waipā councillors have been reluctant to advance their opinions on the issue.

Some have ignored repeated emailed questions, others

have declined to answer because they wanted more information, and now all are remaining silent ahead of next week’s vote on the issue.

While it may be argued the councillors are successfully avoiding the possibility of being accused of predetermining an issue, the process has also excluded any meaningful debate involving the councillors at a time when the public is being encouraged to take part in consultation processes.

Submissions in Waipā closed on April 19, but beyond confirming there had been a lot, the council has yet to give an indication of what the submissions contained.

It is expected councillors

will have a handle on the submissions – categorised as community feedback and iwi engagement – by tomorrow at the latest.

Aside from council calls for public submissions and an excellent video featuring council iwi liaison advisor Shane Te Riki – who calls it the “number one discussion at the moment” almost all the tangible public discussion in Waipā on the issue since February has been in generated by the News via stories and opinion columns.

Southern neighbours Ōtorohanga District Council elected to introduce Māori wards two weeks ago and Matamata-Piako followed

suit last week.

Hamilton City Council reversed an early April decision against Māori wards and is going through a consultation process, and, like Waipā it will vote on the issue next week – as will Waikato District Council.

Waikato has also considered changing its views – it voted against introducing a Māori ward just last November.

Any council that resolves to establish a Māori ward by May 21 must then complete a representation review by early September.

The News understands there is a level of support for reducing the present numbers down from a mayor and 13 councillors.

Going sky high for charity

By Steph Bell-Jenkins

Rushing to help people is part of the job for Cambridge Volunteer Fire Brigade Members Glenn Philip, Ellie Mills, Tyler Six and Michael Graham.

But on May 22 they’ll be taking it to new heights as they don full firefighting kit and race up 51 flights of stairs at Auckland’s Sky Tower.

The annual Firefighter Sky Tower Stair Challenge was developed by Tony Scott in 2005 and has since raised more than $9.2 million for Leukaemia and Blood Cancer New Zealand.

“It’s really physically hard and it’s quite a mental challenge too, getting up there in 25kg worth of kit,” said team captain Glenn.

“You’ve got the weight of the oxygen tanks on your back and the firefighting gear keeps the heat in, so you get really, really hot. Your legs and lungs are burning and you think, I’m never doing this again.

But it’s amazing when you come through the top.”

Glenn first competed in the challenge in 2011 and has done it five times since, but it’s been five years since he last took on the tower’s 1103 steps and 328 vertical metres.

“Ellie wanted to do it for the first time this year so she convinced me to have another crack,” he said.

Cambridge Firefighters.jpg – Cambridge Volunteer Fire Brigade’s sky tower challenge team members (from left) Tyler Six, Glenn Philip, Ellie Mills and Michael Graham.

“I’ve got a close family friend who has been through leukaemia and survived it, so that’s another reason I’m doing it.”

He and Ellie have been training hard, running up stairs in the Hakarimata Range and at Lake Te Koo Utu in firefighting gear.

“I’ve set myself a goal to try and go under 15 minutes if I can,” Glenn said. “Last time I got about 14m36s, but the top guys are doing it in under nine minutes.”The Cambridge team hopes to raise $4000 and was sitting at about $3000 early this week.

Glenn is hoping locals will forgo one cup of coffee for the cause.

“Every dollar helps, so if someone could spare a little bit of change that would be fantastic,” he said.

Planning ahead… Veteran breaks world mark

By Mary Anne Gill

Kihikihi will get a new town clock, Cambridge will not get a new library nor a third bridge and the Lake Te Koo Utu and Memorial Park concept plans in Cambridge and Te Awamutu will proceed.

These are among recommendations from staff following their analysis of submissions to the Waipā District Council Long Term Plan 2021-31.

In a paper presented to the council’s Strategic Planning and Policy Committee on Tuesday, staff also recommended other projects - an urban network in Cambridge and Te Awamutu, a Pirongia cycling connection

and a resource recovery centre with community involvement - should go ahead.

In total, 1505 submissions were received on the Long Term Plan from Waipā residents with 190 submitters indicating that they wish to be heard.

Those submissions were considered on Tuesday and Wednesday and are on the council’s You Tube channel.

The committee hearing to consider and deliberate on the submissions was due to finish today (Thursday).

In four weeks, the committee will review any financial movements and, on June 29, council will meet to adopt the Long Term Plan which will take effect from July 1.

Compact housing fear for residents Cambridge residents are opposing a bid to erect 10 compact houses in Coleridge Street, Leamington.

Meridian Asset Management has applied for resource consent to develop the lot at 47 Coleridge St. Council staff have recommended the project be approved.

Residents fear it will impact on the character and beauty of an established residential area and will put their case at a hearing in Te Awamutu at the Waipā District Council offices on Monday at 10am.

The hearing panel will comprise chair Clare St Pierre, Poto Davies and Lou Brown. Seven residents have objected to the plan, and four have indicated they wish to be heard.

“If allowed to proceed it will set a precedent for Cambridge and has the potential to impact all of Cambridge township and the broader Waipā region - and adversely affect the character and pleasantness for residents,” one of the seven residents, Peter Hobman told the News.

The plan comprises a subdivision of 10 dwellings

on separate land titles ranging from 185 to 261 square metres. Seven will be two-storey homes and overlook outdoor living space of neighbouring properties which will be less than three metres from the boundaries.

“The neighbourhood is not opposed to the development of the section however believes development of compact housing should be publicly notified and restricted to planned greenfield sites where appropriate services can be designed and integrated,” Mr Hobman said.

Tirau’s Jim McMurray has smashed a world mark for the greatest distance cycled in an hour.

He has reached 47.36km at the Avantidrome on Saturday afternoon – extending the mark set by Andrej Zavbi’s in the 60-64 age group by 1.1km.

Five years ago he broke 55-59 age group hour record, covering 47.733km.

McMurray looked solid throughout and hardly wavered from his racing line.

The attempt masterminded by McMurray and Michael van Enter, who was trackside shouting updates, had been amended after Zavbi set a new distance of 46.255km on April 29.

“We were aiming for 47km to take the record,” said van Enter after, “and at 15 minutes he was already a lap up. By 30 minutes we’d aimed to complete 94 laps, but he was at 97 and looked comfortable.

“I felt that was way harder than five years ago, I went way deeper,” admitted McMurray. “Although once I passed halfway I was just counting it down, so it felt easier. I was just looking at the clock every lap or so, and Michael was keeping me

AGE OF REASON

Getting to grips with governance

By Peter Carr

From time to time, I am driven to look at how we, as citizens, are governed nationally and locally.

Reviews and overviews of the former appear to be the prerequisite of national journalists so I will withdraw from that battlefield, other than to comment that, many years ago, the then chair of the National Party’s Wellington Central electorate spent two hours persuading me to place my hat into the triennial ring. We agreed that I would have the weekend to think it over and the matter would remain confidential. We shook hands on the agreement.

Silly me. The matter, together with my name, appeared in the newspaper the next day. I phoned the chairman and informed him that I would never trust national politicians again. For reasons that completely baffle me he was later given a knighthood.

So today is about local governance. Those weighty matters that well-meaning political wannabees struggle with every day. Like pink or blue circles at intersections. Like cycleways or car parking spaces. And the latest being the council’s grappling with high density in-fill housing on a hitherto single dwelling section. No less than 10 houses crammed onto land with hardly a hands-width between each and in excess of 100 vehicle movements a day to and from a right-angle drive onto an already too-narrow local tree-lined residential street. All this in a street that is renowned for poor storm water run-off.

Have the planners taken leave of their senses in a town where huge areas of open land are being tastefully turned into acceptable suburbs to take up the growing population surge?

There is a council hearing on this subject next week. The commissioners are not resident in Cambridge. While this may be to some sensibly deliberate, how and when will elected councillors step up to the table and become the voice of sensible reason?

We all - well about 35 per cent of us elected them and it is time for them to earn their attendance fees.

On the plus side the imminent grand opening of the expanded swimming complex is a matter of local pride and sensibility. But there is history here that should not be forgotten. Ten years ago, the final cost figure was estimated to be only two thirds of the current eye-watering bottom line.

A group of local citizens were appointed by the council to shoulder tap local wellheeled worthies to donate a total of up to $2 million to tip into the pool funds. Sadly, despite their hard and freely given efforts, the money bucket was dry. The council then employed a swimming-centric fund raiser to travel from Christchurch every week.

That this effort failed spectacularly is testament to the sad nature and being of local body governance and management. It is no secret that the national (this time small ‘n’) government is tired of the current system of poor governance at the local level.

That the current local body minister has the 73 councils in her sights for carving up is a reflection of the work undertaken over 30 years ago. Empires are now being ringfenced when it is clearly that multiplicity of local controls is a sure way to feed escalating local body rates.

FAITH IN WAIPĀ

Seeing things clearly…

By Murray Smith, Senior Leader, Bridges Church

We’ve had ’innovative’ traffic engineering newly implemented around our building in town. Roadways are now ‘one way’ that previously provided for two way traffic. It was interesting initially watching confused and challenged drivers entering the new layouts. Now with some clear road signs, drivers are less confused and not so likely to meander down a road offering exclusive ONE WAY access!

Roadsigns in our district generally make getting to destinations easy and safe- if adhered to! Signposts provide direction and they speak metaphorically of our need in life, to ‘see’ and be guided along the way.

Occasionally local signage is ‘messed with’ or switched around by pranksters, causing confusion until it’s reinstated.

My point is that navigating life and reaching a desired destination has a lot to do with having right information - but also our perspectives and the way we do or don’t ‘see’ things.

A young woman, Florence Chadwick purposed to swim 35km from Catalina Island to the coast of California. She’d already become the first woman to swim the English Channel both ways.

Swimming bravely, her support crew gave encouragement from small boats alongside, scaring off sharks with a rifle. Swirling currents and freezing waters stretched her endurance. Exhausted after 16 hours, she begged to be pulled on board. Florence’s mother urged her to press on since she was so close. But with thick fog falling, from Florence’s perspective, it was over. As it turned out, she’d only been a kilometre from shore.

Later during an interview she expressed, “I’m not making excuses but feel I could

have made it - if I could have just SEEN the land….”

Having perspective and seeing things clearly, makes the difference.

I read a report analysing reasons for a plane crashing. Bad weather and pilot error were concluded. Without any visual reference, a pilot may suffer spatial disorientation - an inability to determine angle, altitude and speed.

This unfortunate pilot was flying in dense cloud- a situation in which it is vital to rely on instruments as opposed to reverting to instinct or “flying by the seat of your pants”.

Lots of people approach life this way, hoping for the best…although experienced, this pilot relied subjectively on the ‘feel of the plane’ instead of trusting his instruments for guidance.

His instruments provided objective perspective - concluding they were unreliable, proved fatal.

As society threads it’s way through the labyrinth of scripts that our culture proposes on how life should be done, perspectives and values differ on everything -relationships, diet, material possessions, sexuality and notably, spirituality…There’s a strong emphasis on ‘my truth’ and this individualism, resists the thought that there might be safe, reliable, absolute, objective truth that is relevant to everybody.

CS Lewis came to clear understanding that ‘higher’ perspective on life was available to everyone. He expressed it in a way that countless millions have come to identify with…

“I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen- not only because I see it, but because by it, I see everything else.”

BUSINESS SHOWCASE

River Radiology branching out with new location in Cambridge A trusted and experienced radiology team is branching out looking to grow a greater reach with a new location in Cambridge for the Waipa region.

Their new Cambridge site, which will be opening in the coming weeks, is based at the new Medical Centre on Cambridge Rd, alongside Cambridge Family Health and next to Soul Food Café and Athletic Club.

Owner and operator of River Radiology Dr Peter Gendall is excited for the new site having dealt with Cambridge’s rowers and cyclist over the years.

“I’ve seen many athletes from the area over the years and various other clients so it will be great to soon have a local centre for them to use.”

OWNER AND OPERATOR OF RIVER RADIOLOGY DR PETER GENDALL IS EXCITED TO GET STARTED IN CAMBRIDGE.

The new site will house x-ray and ultrasound machines with the River Radiology Hamilton base still available for more advanced scans if needed.

At River Radiology they deliver a boutique, personalised radiology service, providing scans, x-rays, MRI, ultrasound, and specialised injections.

Their aim is to give a more patient focused base of care and not a revolving door policy as they work directly with patients and help to offer a safe and calm environment for what might be a stressful ordeal for patients.

“We look after you as though you are a member of our family,” Dr Peter said.

A significant number of Waipā residents appear to be attempting to sabotage the district’s recycling programme.

In the wake of repeated warnings and blacklisting serial offenders, the council has reported the worst week ever for deliberate contamination.

On Monday, 100 bins out of 270 inspected were found to contain what the council tagged “blatant” non-recyclable material.

Waipā District Council roading operations team leader Jennifer Braithwaite said it was the worst results to date and clearly illustrated the need for full time recycling bin inspectors.

The offending recycling bins were not collected, and instead were “stickered’ with details about the unacceptable items.

Items found in the recycling bins this week included rotten food and clothing. Previously it has included items such as medical waste.

To date Council has suspended its recycling service to 22 properties. Once a service is suspended, the property owner is required to make a pledge to Council not to put contamination in their recycling.

Waipā may run out of puff

By Mary Anne Gill

Popping out for a ciggy break in the Cambridge, Te Awamutu, Kihikihi, Ohaupo and Pirongia central business districts will become a thing of the past if Waipā District Council adopts a Smokefree and Vapefree Policy.

The draft policy is out for consultation and submissions close on June 4.

Submissions will be heard in August and council will consider the policy at its August 31 meeting.

Smoking while watching the children play in one of the council’s parks or playgrounds will also be outlawed.

The following public places would become smokefree in the district: All council-owned and/or managed parks and reserves (including council-owned playgrounds, skate parks, pump tracks, sports fields, camping grounds) and leased areas All bus stops and shelters All council-owned public toilets Council-owned or managed cycle trails Outside the entrances/exits of all Councilowned and operated buildings All public car parks Outdoor public areas within the central business districts of Cambridge, Te Awamutu, Kihikihi, Ohaupo and Pirongia All outdoor/footpath dining areas within

the central business districts of Cambridge, Te Awamutu, Kihikihi, Ohaupo and Pirongia.

Restaurants, cafes and bars with a licence to use the street pavement for their outdoor dining would need to make sure those spaces are smokefree and vapefree.

All council-owned events and those receiving council funding or support would need to be smokefree and vapefree. Event organisers would be encouraged to share the smokefree and vapefree message leading up to, and at, their events.

But if adopted, the council will not “actively enforce” the policy, says chief executive Garry Dyet in a report to councillors.

Instead, the council will encourage the public to model and promote smokefree and vapefree behaviour in a positive manner which would encourage others to be smokefree and vapefree, he said.

“The aim of the Waipa District Council’s Smokefree and Vapefree Policy is to declare Waipā District Council-owned public places to be smokefree and vapefree.

“Council’s role is to reduce the incidence of smoking and de-normalising smoking behaviour in our public places; by so doing promote the Waipā District Council vision of ‘Waipā Home of Champions - building connected communities’.”

What do you think? Have your say on our Facebook pages…@CambridgeNewsNZ @TeAwamutuNews.

I was in the shower yesterday when my wife came into the bathroom and remarked that I was standing beneath more of a dribble than a shower.

Actually it was a bit low, but we are on town water supply and so generally we do make an effort not to waste water.

At our last house, out in the country, we weren’t nearly as careful. We took water out of the ground via the bore hole and put it, almost immediately, back into the ground about thirty metres away. Water use was not so much of an issue, the bore hole never ran dry, there was no apparent water shortage in our area, and showers were longer. One day I interrupted my wife, who had been in the shower for a while, to tell her we had received a call from the council who were trying to track down the cause of a sudden and worrying drop in the water level at Karapiro. Of course I was told all about it.

According to various estimates the average New Zealand family uses about 250 litres of water per person per day. For the average family of four that makes 1,000 litres per day or one cubic metre.

About 15 years ago I had a mad idea to form a lake at our property at the time. I did speak to the Waikato Regional Council about this and told them that by my calculations I would need to take 400 cubic metres per day to make it work. Enough for 400 families. This would enable the entire lake to be refreshed about every three weeks. To my surprise the response from the council was provided the

required bore hole was 80 metres deep they would be OK with it. They told me only 4% of the available groundwater in the Waikato was used and so there was no shortage.

Today, according to the Waipa District Council website less than 10% of the available groundwater is allocated for use. I don’t know how much of that is actually used. The lake never made it off the drawing board.

As with most things in this area we don’t really go without, we have occasional water restrictions such as only being able to water the garden with a hand held hose or every other day, but it’s not exactly onerous.

Auckland has more of an issue, in fact the Auckland Council has recently applied to the Environmental Protection Authority to increase their take from the Waikato River to 300 million litres per day (roughly 15 minutes worth of the river’s daily flow).

In other parts of the world water shortages are altogether more serious and it has been predicted that in the foreseeable future, wars will be fought over it.

Well it’s been a couple of minutes and I should get out of the shower, ONLY PLANET but I’ve had long enough to reflect, once again, on how lucky we in New Zealand, and particularly Cambridge, are.

OBITUARY - PETER DOWNEY

A life devoted to family and community

By Viv Posselt

A tough start in life did little to dent the generous nature that characterised Peter Downie. It didn’t stop him from putting down family roots and winning plaudits for the work he did for Cambridge over seven decades.

Peter died at his Leamington home earlier this month. The weeks leading up to his passing were shaped by visits from children and grandchildren, friends, neighbours, and a host of others keen to toast a life well-lived. There was no funeral - that was just the way he wanted it.

People gravitated to him all his life, said his daughter Brenda Downie. “He had a big heart … he’d do anything for anyone.”

That heart earned him a reputation for giving away pickled onions, jams and chutneys to anyone wanting them. He also donated produce to his grandchildren’s school galas to help boost school funds.

Brenda and her brothers, Paul and Glen, came from their homes in Tauranga, Wellington and Havelock North to spend Peter’s last few weeks at his side. They knew of his involvement with Cambridge, but the full extent of it became clear only as they began clearing out the house he built 48 years ago, and where he lived out his days.

First and foremost, Peter was an exserviceman. He served in Malaysia and Borneo in the early 1960s. He considered extending his service to Vietnam but instead returned to Cambridge where he became a life member of the RSA and led Cambridge Anzac Day parades for decades. A keen woodworker - one who

devoted long hours to crafting furniture and toys for his own home and for others - he also made the white crosses we associate with our commemorative ceremonies. This was the first Anzac Day he had missed.

Born in Paeroa, Peter and his five siblings spent time in an orphanage when their parents split up. He and one brother, Keith, were then fostered together to a Cambridge family, both going on to attend Leamington School and Cambridge High.

Peter’s children followed the tradition, and he spent some time on the Leamington School PTA. After losing Keith to cancer in his early 20s, Peter settled in Cambridge.

He worked for Rosswood Implements in Leamington for 39 years, while also answering the call to become a Periodic Detention Warden in Cambridge. In that capacity, he oversaw PD workers as they toiled on projects for non-profit groups, needy families and the elderly, including doing regular work at schools and churches, growing community vegetable gardens and cutting and delivering firewood. He also became a Civil Defence Police Warden.

Among the paperwork his family have been sifting through is the certificate awarding Peter life membership to the Cambridge RSA. There is also a Certificate of Appreciation from the police, an ‘Achievers’ Award’ from Cambridge Rotary for Peter’s “outstanding effort” as a Period Detention Warden, and one from former Mayor Pat Allen acknowledging recognition from the Cambridge Committee for Social Services.

Peter Downie, seen here surrounded by his grandchildren, was a man who gave a great deal to Cambridge. Peter served in Malaysia and Borneo in the early 1960s.

Mental health fundraiser Autumn through a lens launches initiative

By Viv Posselt

Mates Matter Charitable Trust founder Craig Bulloch was delighted with the response to his ‘654 Challenge’ fundraiser in Cambridge.

The event, held at Studio Move in Carters Flat, saw around 40 people go through their paces

across 10 stations to help increase awareness around mental wellness and raise funds that will help Craig launch suicide prevention programmes at Cambridge Community House.

So-called in recognition of the 654 people who suicided nationally last year, the challenge was supported by Studio Move

Mates Matter’s Craig Bulloch with Studio Move owners Tania and Shiana McKay at the April 17 fundraiser.

owners Tania and Shiana McKay, Body Performance Clinic and Shots Coffee Cart.

Craig said it raised around $500.

“That was amazing, but for us, it was about much more than that. It was about letting people know that we are here for everyone to build life-supporting communities,” he said. “Our next step is to run a pilot with the team at Cambridge Community House, and then roll out Matestalk in June.”

Craig established Mates Matter earlier this year to promote mental wellness and combat suicide. He has partnered with A-OK.NZ, the national provider of suicide prevention training; organising ‘The 654 Challenge’ was a first step towards delivering the programme throughout the Waikato.

“The matestalk is general awareness training around the scope of the issue in New Zealand, and the Waikato, and gives general awareness around suicide and how to broach the subject,” he said. “It also talks about the other programmes that we will be offering as well. I was humbled by the 40 or so people who turned up. The day was amazing … this is just the start of something pretty special.”

More information is from the Mates Matter Charitable Trust Facebook page, or from Craig at matesmatternz@gmail.com.

The competition was organised by the Art-in-Nature Arboretum Trust.

“Over around four weeks, the colours of the park transform gradually as the leaves of deciduous trees successively turn to shades ranging from lemon to rust, to bright reds. Everywhere you turn in the park, there are bright colours of flowers and leaves, changing each day,” said Dorothy Wakeling, who co-owns the Scotsman Valley Rd park with her husband John. “The

It was judged by Cambridge professional photographer, Rose Kerin, and the winners received annual passes to the park for their families.

First place in the adult category went to Susan Savill, with second and third respectively going to Tess Smith and Rose Barrett.

Anica Downing took out the top prize in the junior category, with Rose Shepheard coming in second place.

Council’s big Bunnings buy

CAMBRIDGE NEWS | 11

THURSDAY MAY 13, 2021

Waipā District Council has confirmed it has purchased the former Bunnings building in Te Awamutu.

The News revealed last week council had its eye on one of the two sites left vacant when Bunnings closes stories last year.

Council confirmed yesterday it had purchased the building for $2.05 million and leased the land it sits on from the Parish of St John.

It plans to use the Arawata

St building to house Te Ara Wai, a museum to showcase Waipā and New Zealand history, with a focus on the New Zealand Land Wars.

The purchase of the building went unconditional on Tuesday.

“This was a fantastic opportunity to secure a building large enough to house an expanded museum and in a really high-profile location,” Waipā mayor Jim Mylchreest said.

“It’s across the road from Selwyn Park, near the historic St John’s Church and is close to the Mangaohoi Steam. Plus, there is plenty of room on site for further development to develop the vision we have for Te Awamutu. It will give council huge scope to develop something fantastic on this site. I’m delighted.”

The purchase will cause a “re-jig” of council’s longterm plan which has yet to be finalised. It has committed

$7.2 million to Te Ara Wai in the 2018-2028 Long Term Plan but will now reconsider the timing of any expenditure.

That will be done before the 2021-2031 Long Term Plan is signed off in June this year, and after discussions with iwi.

The purchase means council will also rethink its plans for the Mahoe Street site originally earmarked for Te Ara Wai, and which Council also owns.

Century old ticket sets family course

By Viv Posselt

Cambridge man Bill Wilson – longtime Rotarian and crooner with their band The Bruised Brothers – has uncovered an interesting piece of his family’s history.

When shifting things around at home, out popped an old passenger ticket for his father, dating back almost

a full century. The then 23-year-old William Edward Wilson, a bootmaker from Cumberland and one of four children in his family, boarded the Ruahine on November 10, 1921 for the six-week sea voyage from Southampton to New Zealand. His plan was to take up work on a farm at Kauroa, near Raglan.

“He went to Auckland before

Cambridge’s Bill Wilson with his dad’s 100-year-old passenger ticket.

heading down to Kauroa,” said Bill.

“He hadn’t met mum at that stage.

Curiously, she sailed out on the same ship a year later, arriving in New Zealand in August 1922.”

William (Bill) and Margaret met up once settled in New Zealand and were later married in Auckland.

Son Bill has no idea how he came to have the 100-year-old ticket. “I just don’t remember ever being given it, but it’s a nice thing to have.”

Rules and regulations listed on the ticket were tough and directly-stated.

One has an interesting spin on a current dilemma: “Passengers to bear all risks and expense of Quarantine. If Passengers cannot be landed through Quarantine at port of destination, The New Zealand Shipping Company, Limited, to be at liberty to land Passengers at any port at which the Steamer may touch subsequently.”

Equally compelling a century down the track is the cautionary advice at the bottom: “Passengers taking on board with their Baggage, or otherwise, any Aquafortis, Oil of Vitriol, Gunpowder, Lucifer Matches, Acids, or any article of a dangerous description, without the nature of the contents being distinctly marked on the outside, subject themselves by Law to a penalty of One Hundred Pounds (£100).”

Te Ara Wai is reliant on external funding and the project had stalled because of Covid-19.

“But this purchase means we now have an opportunity to bring the whole project forward. This would be wonderful for Te Awamutu and Waipā, and frankly for New Zealand to finally hear its own stories, right where they happened,” the mayor said.

Most of the design work already done for Te Ara Wai would still be used.

“There’s no need to go back

to the drawing board. The building was completed in 2010 and while it will need to be fitted out and obviously needs work, we have a very, very sound base to start from,” he said.

“We have large, good quality building on a great, high-profile site. That gives us certainty and also provides evidence of council’s commitment to the project.

That alone will help make fundraising a heck of a lot easier because that is two key things that philanthropists and sponsors look for.”

MORTGAGE MATTERS

Why use a Mortgage Broker?

By Gavin Lynch – Yes Mortgages In the present loan market, most lenders are changing their criteria in regards to what, how much and to whom they lend. This makes it even more important to use a mortgage broker so you know you are getting the right mortgage and right lender to suit your needs.

I believe every client has a unique borrowing scenario and time needs to be taken with the client to understand and analyse this, so a correct lending plan and structure can be put in place to achieve goals.

In this column, I want to explain briefly the role of the mortgage broker and what I can offer.

The key role of the mortgage broker is to make the whole loan process easier for you, the client. This is possible because: I can look at all the lending options.

I deal with more than 25 different lenders and work to find the best lender to suit your unique situation.

• I can do all the ‘leg work’ with the lenders.

• This saves you time and avoids pitfalls in getting a loan approved.

• I can negotiate rates, fees, and legal contributions with certain lenders to obtain the best deal for the client.

• I can meet at a convenient time and place for the client.

• This can be in the home or workplace and after hours if need be.

• I can advise on the best loan structure to suit the client’s need.

And best of all using a broker is a free service in most cases. Now that has to be worth thinking about!

If your looking for a mortgage, please give me a call on 823 4531 or 021 783 266 and I can help you though the whole process. gavin@yesmortgages.co.nz

Everlasting love

By Steph Bell-Jenkins

Peter and Berta Welten are as smitten with each other as the day Cupid’s arrow struck in 1952.

“It was love at first sight,” said Berta, 85, who met Peter and his family at St Peter’s Catholic Church in Cambridge that year.

“You love each other, and the love actually gets stronger as you get older.

It’s not just I love you but I’m in love with you, and they are two different things.”

Part of Peter and Berta’s initial attraction was that they both spoke Dutch and had come from the same place, 18,000km across the globe.

Both grew up in Deurne, a rural village in the south-east of the Netherlands, in large catholic families who left their country after WW2 and immigrated to Cambridge to escape a desperate economic situation.

“There was no future for eight sons and six daughters, there was no work,” said Berta, whose parents left their farm for a better life in New Zealand in 1949.

Her mother had been determined to leave after the tragic loss of Berta’s 12-year-old brother Willy in 1944. Willy had been out walking in the countryside with Berta, who was eight at the time, and their younger brother John, six, when he discovered a live grenade on the ground and detonated it.

He was killed, Berta lost her left eye, and one of John’s hands was partially severed.

“I couldn’t see anything; everything was just white, like a fog,” Berta said.

“My sister said the only way she could tell I was still alive was because it was winter, and she could see my breath.

My stomach was full of shrapnel.”

After the accident Berta’s mother saw a map lying on a table one day and pointed to New Zealand. “She said, here, we will go here – there will be no wars in that country,” Berta said.

After their family left Deurne in 1949, many others from the village followed, including Peter’s in 1952.

“They called Cambridge little Deurne.

Cambridge couple Peter and Berta Welten have been married 65 years.

You had to have work and housing before you could come and the only way you could do that was each family helping each other,” Berta said. “That’s why we all came from the same village.

There must have been at least 50 of us.”

Peter and Berta remember Cambridge’s population being about 7000 when they first arrived and the town was served by a variety of shops including a department store, Calverts in Victoria St, and a furniture store, Howards, in Duke St. “Cambridge had everything you needed,” Berta said. “Life was similar to Holland, but the people were very friendly here. They were reserved but we were well respected.”

Peter and Berta’s families met at St Peter’s Catholic Church and the pair began socialising together regularly.

Their romance blossomed and they courted for almost four years before tying the knot in a special double wedding on April 14, 1956. Peter married Berta and Peter’s sister Joan married Berta’s brother Tony.

While they were dating Peter had run his own building company with his father, helping to build numerous schools in the district.

The couple had given all their earnings to their parents while living

www.yesmortgages.co.nz

at home, as was traditional in Dutch families, so they began their married life desperately poor, with “no savings, no car and nowhere to live”.

They moved to Tokoroa in 1957 to capitalise on a building boom and lived in a borrowed caravan for 21 months but eventually returned to Cambridge, where they have now lived together for more than 60 years.

Over that time, they saved enough to build their own house and bought land on Thornton Rd to start a poultry farm.

They supplied Turners and Growers in Hamilton and local customers from 1964-1984. During those years they had two children, Paul and Marion.

After selling the poultry farm Peter returned to the building trade, teaming up with Paul on numerous projects in Cambridge, including the development of townhouses in Fort St. Now retired, Peter is 88 and Berta 85.

They have four grandchildren and one great-grandchild.

They still enjoy spending time together today just as much as they did in the early days of their courtship.

“Sometimes he goes out for the day and I feel a bit lost,” Berta said.

“I feel the same when she’s gone,” Peter said. “She’s a lovely girl and she looks after me and I look after her.”

“We pride ourselves on making old age worth living”

Key game looms for tilt for regional title Cambridge can take the lead in football’s WaiBop Championship with a win this Saturday against lowly Waikato Unicol at John Kerkhof Park.

The club’s third team beat Te Puke United 2-0 last weekend to move into second place on the regional table, maintaining their tilt at this year’s title.

Goals from Ryan Ashby (penalty) and Adam Brady – his eighth of the season – were enough for Cambridge to beat Te Puke, though goalkeeper and Player of the Day Oscar Thomas saved a penalty to ensure the side’s second clean sheet in successive games.

Such is the progress of the club that its third team competes in the Championship whereas less than a decade ago, it was represented by its first team.

While the Championship game will entertain local spectators (2.45pm kick-off), the Reds travel to Auckland for their first-round tie in New Zealand football’s oldest knockout competition, the ISPS Handa Chatham Cup. The Reds have drawn Otahuhu United who play four competition tiers below them, but the Aucklanders should not be underestimated as they knocked out WaiBop Premiership side

Huntly Thistle in the preliminary round.

Cambridge go into the tie with winning form, having beaten Uni-Mount Bohemian Celtic 3-2 in their Lotto NRFL second division game last Saturday.

The Reds had stumbled at the start of this fixture, conceding a goal to Uni-Mount’s Gregor Wilson after only five minutes, but they put in a gutsy performance to get back into the game.

With half-time approaching, Cambridge pushed forward for a corner, taken by Marc Glenister. Big defender Jack Portegys got a head to the ball and the sides went into the break 1-1.

Glenister put the Reds ahead in the 50th minute.

Within a few minutes, Wilson’s second goal of the game drew Uni-Mount level at 2-2.

Teenager Aston Hurd grabbed the winner when he turned a Jamie Woodlock cross into the net for his sixth goal in eight appearances for the first team.

The result lifts Cambridge to fifth place on the second division table.

The Cambridge U-23s lost 7-0 to UniMount’s reserves, having fielded an under-

strength team to enable youth players to represent Cambridge High School at the Waikato colleges tournament held at St Peter’s.

In Waikato Division 1, Cambridge drew 1-1 with West Hamilton United reserves.

Cambridge’s goal was scored by striker Peter Buesnel, his 100th senior goal for the club.

Player of the Day was Nathan Claridge for an exceptional performance in defence.

The club’s Division 4 team continued their unbeaten start to the season, beating Morrinsville 3-1 at John Kerkhof Park.

Morrinsville went ahead through a penalty which was almost saved by ‘keeper Saxon JayEdwards.

Andrew Myers got Cambridge level and Cambridge took the lead just before half time when a long-range Chris Hill free-kick was fumbled into the back of the net by the Morrisville ‘keeper.

Midway through the second half, Myers scored again giving Cambridge a two-goal buffer. Player of the Day was right back Jack Harman who shut down one of the opposition’s key players.

In the Over 35s competition, Cambridge (team 2) lost 1-0 at Northern United.

Cambridge’s women’s team have moved to the top of the Waikato Women’s second division after beating Ngaruawahia United 5-1 at Centennial Park.

Scorers were captain Steph Upton (2), Kim Thomasen (2) and Olivia Milne. Player of the Day was Georgia Bellamy-Hill.

In the U-13 WaiBOP Youth League, Cambridge beat Tauranga’s Blue Rovers 13-2.

Scorers were Luca Savage (3), Jaxson Makgill (2), Jordyn Haysom (2), Sam Leyland (2), Max Mitchell (2) Cameron Spence and Ashton de Roo.

Earlier he also guessed the right way when Boys High’s senior side were dispatched 3-1 in pool play – Cambridge’s first win over their bigger provincial neighbours in several years.

Cambridge, coached by Steve Thomas, beat Hillcrest 2-1, Boys High 3-1 and then clinched a place in the final with a 1-1 draw against St John’s College.

Top class Hautapu show their best

Hautapu’s 40-12 win at Ōtorohanga was just reward for their finest performance of the season.

The last series of games in the opening round saw unbeaten Fraser Tech lead with five wins from five and at the foot of the table University and Matamata have drop down to a new Championship round.

The other clubs in the new round are Leamington, Ōhaupō, Pirongia, Southern United, Hinuera and Suburbs.

Leamington travels to Ōhaupō on Saturday.

It leaves the Waikato championship to be decided between Fraser Tech, APL Hautapu, Ōtorohanga, Old Boys, Marist, Melville, Te Awamutu and Morrinsville.

Hautapu’s first game in the new round is at home to Hamilton Old Boys.

From the outset at Island Reserve Hautapu appeared hungrier with a forward pack that got straight into their work to lay a platform for midfielder Paula Mahe to produce a slashing try near the posts.

The signs were ominous, but Ōtorohanga to their credit stayed in touch throughout the first half.

What was different this week, was Hautapu were more prepared to vary their play with quick penalty taps, counter attacks and varied lineout play alongside their normal controlled structure and efficiency through the forwards. This kept

Otorohanga guessing and on the backfoot as they struggled with the varied tempo which eventually took its toll.

Added to this was a very strong bench who all played their part in the latter stages, non-more so than loose forward Tom Florence who was released from the Chiefs and made an immediate impact.

Goalkicker and first five Coby Miln helped himself to 19 points which included an excellent try and another improved performance week on week.

Other try scorers were outside backs Tom Maiava, Mosese Dawai, and Josh Gascoigne. Skipper Hamilton Burr was a deserved player of the day with another relentless top-class performance, and he

Latest Rollie Arrivals

led the way superbly.

It was a different story when the reserves clash – Ōtorohanga raced away to a 76-5 victory.

Otorohanga at home took full advantage of a number of past and present Premier A players in their team to dominate an under strength Hautapu team.

In Hamilton the Hautapu Colts were pipped at the post

by Fraser Tech who scored in the final two minutes to win 38-36.

There were early points in a high-quality clash and Harry Watnabe and Reid

Shackleton both dotted down for Hautapu inside 2- minutes and when Mercedes Hodge grabbed a third the teams were level at 17-17 at the break.

The second half started similar to the first with Fraser Tech dominating the first 10 minutes with two converted tries before Hautapu regained control and saw Oliver Yarrow and Maia George cross for tries.

With 10 to go Todd Silva scored off an 80m team try from a counterattack and Hautapu led 36-31 – only for the home side to do the same.

In May 2023 Cambridge’s Rugby Referees’ Association will celebrate 100th birthday – and to acknowledge the refs, today we start a regular profile series on the people with the whistles.

Blues clinch first round Meet the ref…

Leamington completed the first stanza of matches in the championship on top of the table with a 100 per cent record thanks to a 57-3 win over Te Rapa.

The side now moves into a new round which features University and Matamata who drop down from the topflight – and sees Leamington up against Ōhaupō this weekend.

Saturday’s clash was a physical and stopstart affair. Te Rapa had no answer to the home side’s intensity – and flair out wide.

Leamington finished round with five SINCE the 1974 wins from five – and four points shy of 300,

with just 11 conceded.

Kayel White starred in the reserves clash between the clubs which Leamington also won, though in closer fashion, 34-17.

The club’s Colts put up a bold showing against table topping Marist, keeping the score to 26-7 at the break – but it was one way traffic in the second spell46 as Duke Marist clocked up a further 33 points St, Cambridge without reply.

By David Chin

I’ve always been interested in rugby but stopped playing after I left high school. I was 28 years old and working in an office job in Wellington when I decided to take up rugby refereeing.

I did this to stay fit over the winter months and try something different that I hadn’t done before – variety is the spice of life so they say. Eighteen years later I’m still an active referee and I thoroughly enjoy it. It is still serving the purpose of making me stay active over the winter months, and one of the unintended spin offs is that it has help with my communication skills and decision making skills at work.

Now I really enjoy the community volunteer aspect of refereeing more and more. I have been refereeing in Cambridge for about 15 years and I continually bump into guys that I have refereed and it is great to catch up with what they are doing and it is really rewarding to see so many young guys develop their game and leadership skills through high school and onto club rugby and super rugby in some instances.

It is also a great feeling to give back to the community and to meet new players, coaches and parents. For anyone interested in taking up refereeing, I would highly recommend it. The Cambridge Rugby Referees are a great bunch of guys and our local schools and clubs are really appreciative of the job we do.

In the end it is a very supportive environment in which we operate in. My advice to anyone interested is to take the plunge and give it a crack, you don’t need to be an expert on the rules (we’ll teach you that as you go) and it is a great way to stay active and meet new people.

Eggsellent Eats

If there was a perfect food then the egg would be a top contender. Eggs are packed with protein, vitamins and minerals. They’re easy to cook, readily available and very affordable.

Boiled, scrambled, poached or fried, eggs make wholesome snacks, breakfasts, brunches, lunches and main meals.

Eggs should be gently treated not only during storage but during cooking. If cooked too quickly at a high heat then the egg’s protein becomes tough.

I prefer to boil eggs by the ‘cold start’ method. Place the eggs in a saucepan and add enough cold water to cover them by about three centimetres. Cover the saucepan and bring the water to a simmer — the water shouldn’t boil. The eggs can be stirred occasionally to centre the yolks. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stand the eggs — covered — in the hot water for four minutes for soft-cooked eggs or 12 minutes for hard-cooked eggs. Drain and chill the eggs in icy water if serving cold. This will prevent a dark ring of iron forming around the yolks.

If you crack the shells while the eggs are cooling they will be easier to peel. This should be done as soon as they are cold.

EGGS BENNY BURGERS (pictured top left) Hollandaise Sauce: 2 egg yolks 1 tablespoon lemon juice pinch salt 100g butter, melted Burgers: 250g trimmed spinach 2 small cloves garlic, crushed 4 rashers bacon 4-8 eggs 4 burger buns, halved and toasted 4 tablespoons butter or table spread To make the Hollandaise, place the egg yolks, lemon juice and salt in a small blender and mix well. With the motor running, slowly pour in the warm melted butter mixing until thick. Stand the blender in a bowl of warm water or store the sauce in a vacuum flask to keep it warm.

Wash, chop and steam or microwave the spinach until limp.

Add the garlic. Squeeze dry. Fry or microwave the bacon until crisp. Poach the eggs.

Place the hamburger bun bases on serving plates. Spread with butter. Top with the spinach, then the bacon and eggs.

Drizzle with the Hollandaise. Cover with the burger bun tops. Serves 4.

is firmly in place. Dip into the beaten egg then coat in the breadcrumbs.

Place on a baking paper-lined oven tray. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the sausage meat is cooked.

Serve warm or cold as a light meal or a lunch. Excellent lunch box food. Serves 4.

FRAGRANT SCOTCH EGGS (pictured top tight) Buy plain sausage meat or squeeze the meat from 500g of good-quality sausages.

1 cup each: coriander, mint, basil leaves 1 teaspoon dried oregano 1 spring onion 500g sausage meat freshly ground black pepper to taste 4 eggs, hard-boiled and shelled 1-2 tablespoons plain flour 1 egg, beaten 3/4 cup panko bread crumbs Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the herbs and the spring onion in a food processor and mix until finely chopped. Combine well with the sausage meat and black pepper. Divide into 4 equal portions.

Flatten each portion. Dust the hard-boiled eggs with the flour then place in the centre of each meat portion. Wrap the meat around each egg rolling it in your hands until it

THAI-STYLE OMELETTE An excellent ‘wake-up and shine’ food but it can also be dressed up with avocado, chilli, salad greens and rice for lunch or a light evening meal.

2 tablespoons each: cornflour, water 1 teaspoon lime juice 2 teaspoons Thai fish sauce 4 large eggs salt and pepper to taste 4-5 tablespoons rice bran oil Combine the cornflour, water, lime juice and fish sauce until smooth.

Whisk the eggs in a bowl together with the cornflour mixture.

Heat a little oil in a small frying pan on medium-high heat.

Hold the bowl about 20cm above the pan and pour in half the egg mixture in one movement. The mixture will puff up. After about 30 seconds flip the omelette. Cook, until golden. Lift out and serve immediately. Repeat with the remaining mixture. Serves 2.

Cambridge Jockey Club Race Dates Cambridge Jockey Club CEO Mark Fraser-Campin is looking forward to next weeks first meeting.

Cambridge racing set to take off with new synthetic racecourse Racing is going to be forever changed in Cambridge as its new synthetic surface gears up for its first meeting next week.

but we want to make this feel just like a genuine country track where anyone can come along to and check out the racing,” Mark said.

On May 19 the track will host its first of 12 meetings booked for the 2021 calendar year and Cambridge Jockey Club CEO Mark Fraser-Campin is ready for racing to come to the club.

With affordable food and refreshments, and exciting never before seen racing on a new track in New Zealand Mark is hoping for a great atmosphere for its first few meetings.

“We don’t have big grandstands or grand facilities,

“We’re busy gearing up ready

for a big opening day, getting proper facilities in, marquees and also getting local food trucks to help provide food and refreshments at the meeting.”

While things are kicking off next week it has been a process a couple of years in the making to get to the stage where the track is now.

Phil also has extensive experience in constructing other racetracks in the region, being involved in both the Matamata track and the Cambridge Harness and Greyhound tracks.

completion of the track was pushed back to October.

Now that it is completed the track will provide a world class horse training and racing facility.

The all-weather, synthetic racetrack replaces the original course at the Cambridge Jockey Club grounds on Racecourse Rd, home of New Zealand’s and Australia’s largest racehorse training facility with 800-1200 horses training there each month

and will become a regular facility for mid-week race meetings.

It is a pivotal step in the restructuring of New Zealand racing, providing a consistent winter racing surface with the ultimate aim of ending heavy track meetings in the region, or worse, those meetings which have to be cancelled because of the extreme wet.

Heatpumps: the pros and cons of a popular heating system The reason heat pumps are so efficient is because they extract external heat to heat your property.

Choosing a heating system is a big decision and often requires a significant investment.

It’s important that you do plenty of research into all of the available options so you can make an informed purchase.

This can be a downside in areas that are extremely cold where the heat pump might not be able to get enough heat. In this situation, an auxiliary heater or combined system may be needed to address this issue.

Heat pumps are one of the most popular heating options for many home owners, but like all systems they have their advantages and disadvantages.

Heat pumps operate on very similar principle to a fridge. Refrigerant flows through connected indoor and outdoor coils.

There are a number of factors behind the increasing popularity of heat pumps as a heating and cooling solution for homes and businesses.

In heating mode, as the liquid refrigerant flows to the outdoor coil, it passes through an expansion valve that creates rapid expansion of the liquid, causing it to become a gas.

Heat pumps are versatile and can be installed in a variety of ways. They can be integrated into existing or new ducted systems or mounted on the floor, wall or ceiling.

They are very cost affective as they use external heat and cold to efficiently regulate temperature in a building. As a result, they are 50 per cent more cost efficient than gas heaters and use less power than other electric heating and cooling systems.

Heat pumps filter your air while they operate, reducing the presence of pollen, humidity and airborne pathogens in the building. Other types of ducted heating on

This results in very rapid cooling of the refrigerant. the other hand often spread dust and other contaminants around.

The efficiency of heat pumps means less energy is used, which means less pollution and fewer carbon emissions. Heat pumps can be an extremely energy-efficient form of space heating and cooling – provided they are sized, installed, and used properly.

AUTUMN SPECIAL Heating/Cooling Solutions

FROM $1899 Fully Installed

There are also some factors behind why many people have decided to move away from heatpumps to other systems.

Compared to many heating and cooling solutions available on the market, the initial cost of the product and installation can be much higher. Heat pumps are more about long term cost-savings.

Then as it flows through the outdoor coil, it is able to absorb heat energy from the air.

Before it flows through the indoor coil, it passes through a compressor where the gas is compressed, increasing both the pressure and the temperature.

As it moves through the indoor coils, the gas condenses, releasing latent heat.

Winter is on its way, ensure your home is Winter Ready.

WINTER WARMTH 2021 Heatpumps are popular for New Zealand winters Heatpumps have become a popular form of heating in New Zealand, and for those in the Waipa region there is no one better to go to than Pratts to find the best fit for you.

Location, room size, and insulation levels in a room are all factors that determine which heat pump size should be installed.

SureCool Refrigeration is a specialist AIRCON division of Pratts. This team is dedicated to ensuring that their customers not only get the right heat pump for their home or business, but that the installation is completed to the highest standard.

Pratts are accredited dealers and installers for the best brands in New Zealand, including Mitsubishi Electric, Toshiba, Carrier and Fujitsu.

They also have a service division that will ensure that your heat pump is maintained and serviced to ensure maximum efficiency and to protect your investment.

When it comes to keeping your house warm during the winter, insulation and building orientation are key factors which can influence the degree of heat loss in a home.

An older style home with poor insulation

will lose indoor heat at a faster rate than a modern well-insulated home that faces north.

The quicker a home loses heat, the bigger the heat pump system will need to be to overcome this heat loss, while outdoor ambient conditions in winter also play a big role in unit size selection.

ENJOY A WARM WAGENER HOME

This means that when the temperatures drop outside, the output capacity of the heat pump also drops.

Areas of New Zealand that experience sub-zero temperatures in winter will require either a larger capacity heat pump or an upgrade to a Mitsubishi Electric HyperCore® Heat Pump, in comparison to a same sized room in a warmer region.

It is therefore very important to make sure that units are not undersized in low ambient conditions.

Playing it safe on the farm

By Peter Thornton – ACC Senior Media Advisor

Farmers are great at looking after their animals and their farms, but they also need to look after their most important assest on the farm, themselves and those who work in the business.

That is the message from ACC and Farmstrong as farmers all over New Zealand get ready to meet the workload of another demanding winter season. That’s a big impact on them, their families and the rural community when they get taken out of play.

Agriculture is New Zealand’s biggest export earner but it’s also one of our most high-risk industries.

In 2020, there were 22,796 farmrelated injury claims accepted which came at a cost of $84 million to help people recover. That is over 60 farmers getting injured every day.

In all, ACC has spent more than $383 million on farm related injuries in the past five years, with the cost in 2020 the highest from this period.

In the Waikato alone there were 4,405 farm related injury claims in 2020 which was higher than the previous two years.

While many businesses in 2020 adopted remote working and were affected by Covid-19, life for farmers carried on as normal and there was no break from the long hours.

Farmstrong is a rural wellbeing initiative for farmers and growers to help them ‘live well to farm well’. It encourages farmers to share their stories and to look after themselves as well as they do their pasture and livestock.

In 2016 ACC became a strategic partner of Farmstrong, joining FMG and the Mental Health Foundation.

Last year ACC increased their investment to $3.5 million over the next five years.

The investment in Farmstrong is one of ACC’s injury prevention

investments in the rural sector.

Other investments include a subsidy on roll bars or crush protection devices for quad bikes.

ACC also partnered with the NZ Shearing Contractors Association and Federated Farmers to develop Tahi Ngātahi – an online training platform for shearers and other woolshed workers.

“Farmers spend their lives growing our food and milk and helping our economy, but they’re not great at looking after themselves,” says Virginia Burton-Konia ACC’s Head of Workplace Safety.

“We’re proud to be partnering with Farmstrong and its focus on simple tools like getting enough sleep, eating right and getting some

exercise.

“Farmers need to get better at putting in systems to look after the most important asset on the farm, themselves and those who work in the business.”

An ACC-funded study for Farmstrong shows 58 percent of recently injured farmers linked their injury to stress associated with farm work. A quarter of them said it was a major factor.

Exhaustion, lack of sleep, the stresses of farming, being isolated from friends and family, and being unable to take a break all add to the risks that a farmer or farm worker will have an injury, the research shows.

“The support Farmstrong receives

from ACC, alongside that provided by the founding partners Mental Health Foundation and FMG is key to being able to reach more farmers and growers over the next five years,” says Farmstrong spokesperson Gerard Vaughan.

Last month ACC launched a new injury prevention campaign called Preventable. The campaign lays down a wero (challenge) to all New Zealanders to stop and take a moment to assess the risks at home, work, and play.

By taking a moment to prevent injury, they can keep doing the things they love and keep from harming others around them.

“It’s important for everyone, especially farmers, to take a

Agriculture is our biggest export earner – but it comes with risks.

moment to think about what they are about to do and think about what could go wrong to prevent injury,” says Virginia Burton-Konia.

Farm-related injuries – by the numbers • In 2020, there were 22,796 farm-related injury claims accepted which came at a cost of $84 million to help people recover.

• In all ACC has spent more than $383 million on farm related injuries in the past five years, with the cost in 2020 the highest from this period.

• In the past five years in Waikato there were 22,652 farm related injury claims accepted, with 4,405 injuries occurring in 2020. This was the highest number for the past three years.

• Waikato has had the highest number of farming related injuries in the past five years in New Zealand ahead Canterbury (17,761), Manawatu-Whanganui (10,641) and Otago (9,659).

Gearing up for Moving Day Dairy NZ offers advice for farmers looking ahead to a June 1 move.

For dairy farmers, it’s coming up to moving week so it’s a great time to start planning.

Around 5000 dairy farm households move every year to new farms and jobs for the start of the new dairy season on June 1, known as moving day.

Farm owners, sharemilkers, employees and their families pull off this incredible feat every year – moving cows, equipment, vehicles and household possessions to take the next step in their careers.

“Farmers know from experience a successful move involves excellent forward planning, communication and teamwork,” said DairyNZ farm performance general manager Sharon Morrell.

“A key area of focus this year will be ensuring all animal movements are recorded in NAIT.” All movements of dairy cattle must be recorded in the NAIT system to ensure animals can be traced for biosecurity purposes. It’s important to know where stock have been in the case of a disease outbreak, so they can be quickly traced and slow down any potential spread of disease.

“Another focus area will be following Covid-19 requirements to keep everyone safe,” said Ms Morrell. Keeping records of everyone helping with the move is recommended to support contact tracing if someone gets sick.

DairyNZ will put advice on the dairynz.co.nz website if changes to alert levels impact moving day requirements.

Moving animals Farmers are committed to treating their animals with care and respect as they are prepared for transport and then physically

It’s also important to ensure signed employment and tenancy agreements are in place in advance, and sharemilker /contract milker contracts are signed by both parties.

Another great idea is to introduce new people to the area to relevant businesses, local farming groups and community groups to help settle in.

Moving house Tips for moving house include getting in touch with insurers well before the move.

Getting a professional house cleaner to do a full house clean may take some of the pressure off.

Another option is to check if it’s possible to have 24 to 72 hours between families/ tenants leaving and arriving, to give everyone room to move.

lactation combined with a 56 per cent reduction in urinary nitrogen concentration from cows grazing pure plantain, in comparison with irrigated perennial ryegrass and white clover pastures.

Further, nitrogen fertiliser reduces nitrogen fixation by clover by about one kg N/ha/year for every three kilograms of nitrogen fertiliser applied. In addition, clover content will be further reduced if nitrogen boosted pastures shade the clover.

This effect is seen during spring.

Understanding the relationship between time of feeding and subsequent nitrogen excretion may enable the development of better farm management SERVICING THE WAIKATO strategies to reduce FOR OVER 30 YEARS greenhouse gas output.

but also represents a loss of economically valuable nutrients. Most nitrogen is leached during winter and early spring when rainfall exceeds evapotranspiration.

Generally, the pasture species are not active during low temperatures adding to the potential for nitrogen loss through leaching.

Some of the research to mitigate the nitrogen losses has focused on growing pasture with more rooting depth for interception of

Winter is around the corner, and while it can pose a significant challenge for nutrient management, some simple actions can reduce winter nutrient loss.

Slow growth of pasture in winter and drainage can result in nitrate leaching directly from fertiliser before plants can take it up. This means the risk of nitrogen leaching from urine patches is much higher in winter.

Nitrogen leaching not only contaminates waterbodies

nitrate, duration controlled grazing for reducing the amount of time animals spend on pasture, and feeding high sugar grasses for reducing the dietary protein.

In recent years, plantain was well researched for increasing dry matter production and reducing urinary nitrogen concentration.

animals to new pasture late in the afternoon would result in more urinary nitrogen being deposited at night when lower ambient temperatures should lead to reduced volatilisation and lower N2O production.

Due to the prolonged dry spell last season, nitrate poisoning can result by high nitrate levels in feed and it usually occurs in late autumn. This is particularly during a flush of growth.

Nitrate levels build up in herbage when nitrate is taken by the plant faster than it can be converted into protein. Toxicity risk progressively increases with high soil nitrogen from various sources.

It is important for farmers to get clear advice about the risks involved with winter nitrogen applications.

From a technical perspective, all farmers need to understand the term “response rate”.

The response rate is the amount of pasture grown in terms of kilograms of dry matter per hectare per kilogram of nitrogen (N) applied. For example, when 30 kg N/ha is applied and an additional 300 kg DM/ha of pasture is grown the response rate is 10

kg DM/kg N applied. The response is dependent on several factors such as soil temperature, plant growth, soil moisture, the deficiency of available nitrogen in the soil and the rate of nitrogen applied per application.

The profitability of applying nitrogen is dependent on the utilisation of the extra feed. Therefore, nitrogen needs to be strategically applied to fill genuine feed deficits.

Fieldays wins bronze in global comp

CAMBRIDGE NEWS | 27

THURSDAY MAY 13, 2021

Fieldays’ move to an online event during the Covid lockdown in 2020 has earned it a bronze medal in an international competition.

The Eventex Awards celebrate creativity, innovation, and effectiveness

in the event business worldwide and Fieldays was a finalist in the Virtual Expo category. The awards were announced this week.

Fieldays was shortlisted for the Virtual Expo Award alongside eventual winners

Hungarian Fashion and Design Agency for their online exhibition 360 Design Budapest and German optics company, Ziess, for their Neuro Week 2020 event.

The Fieldays Online virtual event was created in

Fieldays is on this year, which means so are its competition – which this year will be staged at a single venue.

At this year’s event from June 16 to 19, Fieldays visitors can head to the riverside to catch all the action with the Tractor Pull, Fencing Competitions, and the Excavator Competition now being held in the same location.

Fieldays Tractor Pull is back for 2021, and entries to compete are open on the Fieldays website.

Organiser Daniel Reymer is looking forward to this year’s Fieldays Tractor Pull, after the event became a Covid victim in 2020.

He’s excited to race, but also to have a good catch up with his friends and fellow competitors.

“I generally know everyone there, it’s always the same scene: we have a big catch up and a good yarn, then

we go out on the track to try and beat each other.”

Also returning to the event are New Zealand’s top fencers, who will compete in a match of speed, skill, and perseverance.

The Civil Contractors New Zealand Excavator Competition, now joining

the competitions area by the Waikato River, is a challenging test of skill and precision, as the competitors are required to complete tasks that are a bit out of the ordinary, says Waikato Branch Secretary of Civil Contractors, Nicki Carson.

Competitions return to Mystery Creek

partnership with Satellite Media, a digital innovation agency based in Auckland.

Trade Me also supported the event, connecting Fieldays exhibitors with e-commerce capabilities.

Fieldays Online enabled visitors to attend the event without leaving home.

Exhibitors sold products via an online platform, and visitors could access live content through Fieldays TV. “Being named as a finalist in the global Eventex Awards is a testament to the hard work the team put in to bring Fieldays Online to life in only

108 days – a world-first for an agricultural event of its kind,” Peter Nation, Chief Executive of the National Fieldays Society said.

“The virtual event was a huge undertaking, and we are really proud that we upheld our commitment to the primary sector and the rural community through delivering an interactive, virtual Fieldays experience. Also, as the nation was in lockdown with our international borders closed, we were able to keep New Zealand’s brand alive across the world through the virtual event.

“Fieldays Online is now a part of our digital roadmap moving forward, and we are excited to deliver it as an extension of our four-day event this June.”

Fieldays Online attracted 90,455 total digital visitors, with attendees from over 75 different countries, while nearly 300 exhibitors hosted digital sites.

The 2021 Fieldays event from June 16 to 19 is being promoted as a hybrid event - hosting the physical event while playing to a wider audience through Fieldays Online.

Last call for Melody Belle The Group One Doomben Cup over 2000 metres on May 22 remains set as the final start in the storied career of Melody Belle following her midfield finish at the Gold Coast on Saturday.

Trainer Jamie Richards said the 14-time Group One winner ran well when finishing 10th in the Gr.2 Hollindale Stakes (1800m) but that she was unlucky not to finish closer to impressive winner Zaaki.

“I thought she ended up in quite a nice spot from a tricky barrier and looked like she was starting to work home and was going to run fifth or sixth,” Richards said.

“But then she got checked halfway down (the straight) and that was pretty much game over.”

Richards said Melody Belle would need to improve but he was confident she would be a more formidable challenger in the Doomben Cup. “We’ve got a lot of work to do but we can have her better,” he said.

“We had a bit of trouble with a couple of little niggling things during the week which meant she hasn’t been at her best, but I’m sure we can get things right in the next couple of weeks.”

Despite his confidence, Richards said it was hard not to be impressed by Zaaki, who won easily by 2.3 lengths and could have won by more.

“She’d need to improve a bit to beat the winner. He looked to be a very promising horse, no doubt about that,” Richards said.

Melody Belle has won 14 Group One races.

“But I’m confident we can get her going better than she did on the weekend.”

Richards said his team wouldn’t have any other runners at the Queensland carnival and there would be few running back home over winter.

“Winter’s a time that we like to spend educating our young horses so we’ll put a fair bit into them in the next couple of months,” he said.

One that will be running is Bak da Master, who won the Fairview Motors Waikato Hurdle Prelude (2800m) at Te Rapa on Saturday.

Bak da Master, who hails from the same family as Te Akau Shark, has now won three of his five hurdles races. He will run next in the Waikato Hurdles on May 22. – NZ Racing Desk

Public notification pursuant to clauses 10(4) and 29(5) of Schedule 1 of the Resource Management Act 1991.

In accordance with clauses 10(4) and 29(5) of Schedule 1 of the Resource Management Act 1991, Waipa- District Council gives notice that the Council’s decisions on submissions to and on Private Plan Change 12: Structure Plan and Rezoning of Growth Cell T2 (the plan change) are now available.

Summary of the amendments to the District Plan: • Uplift the Deferred Residential Zone and change to Residential Zone for Stage 1 (southern portion) of the T2 Growth Cell only and consequential amendments to Planning Maps 7, 8 and 38.

• Changes to proposed provisions which sought amendments to existing rules within Sections 2 and 15 of the Waipa- District Plan to reflect the objectives of the plan change. Amendments also include the decision to retain reference to Pirongia Road within the rules, despite the fact the deferred residential zoning for this portion of the T2 Growth Cell (stage 2) remains.

• Changes to proposed rule 15.4.2.92 to include the requirement to prepare a landscaping plan at the time of subdivision application, rather than for this to be prepared and implemented as a condition of subdivision consent.

• Insertion of a structure plan for the T2 Growth Cell and corresponding design objectives and measures as Appendix S23 to the Waipa- District Plan including a level of protection for the historic heritage item ‘Isla Bank Villa’ in the consideration of subdivision design.

• Consequential renumbering of provisions / references / page numbers in the Plan due to the proposed changes above.

The full copy of the Council’s decisions on the private plan change can be viewed at: • Waipa- District Council website: www.waipadc.govt.nz/ planchange12; • Waipa- District Council Offices in Te Awamutu and Cambridge; • Waipa- District Council Public Libraries in Te Awamutu and Cambridge.

Any person who has made a submission on Private Plan Change 12, may appeal Council’s decisions on their submission to the Environment Court. Appeals to the Environment Court must be in the prescribed form and lodged with the Environment Court within 30 working days of the date of this public notice, that is by 5pm on Monday, 28 June 2021.

The Waipa- District Plan is deemed to have been amended in accordance with the decisions made.
