Māori ward is kapai

By Blair Voorend

Waipā District Council’s debating chamber became an auditorium for waiata moments after councillors voted to guarantee a seat for iwi.

Councillors – most of whom had interspersed their comments with te reo – stood with iwi representatives to celebrate the decision.

Eleven councillors and the mayor emphatically backed a recommendation this week to create Waipā’s first Māori ward for the 2022 elections.

Councillors lined up to back the motion. Both mayor Jim Mylchreest and Susan O’Regan said the fact it had taken so long was embarrassing. Mike Petit said it was time to be courageous. Hazel Barnes, who said she would be standing down next year, said the decision said “we really are partners”. Clare St Pierre said Māori want “the same outcomes we all want” but did not have access to power structures.

The council’s iwi representation through four iwi standing committees will continue.

Mr Gordon’s LinkedIn profile notes he is a branch chair of the National Party – the party opposes Māori wards. He told the meeting he had struggled to sleep and was shaking during

the meeting because he was going to vote no. He did not believe representation should be based on ethnicity.

Former deputy mayor Grahame Webber, who missed the meeting because of a back injury said he planned to make his mind up on the day and told the News after the meeting he still didn’t know which way he would have voted.

The historic meeting began with a karakia and mihi

from council’s iwi liaison representative Shane Te Ruki before iwi representatives offered their views.

Mokoro Gilbert said Māori needed a clear voice in the community and “a say at this table”.

Ngā Iwi Toopuu o Waipa chair Gaylene Roberts said a Māori ward was an important step forward.

“This year we became the story, Māori became the story.”

Waikato Tainui representative Linda Te Aho said changing times needed to be met with change in the representation in the community.

“The mood is changing and councils across the country are saying yes to Māori wards.”

Deputy Chairman of the Maniapoto Maori Trust board Keith Ikin said “circuit breakers” were needed to change the dynamic of the

community.

Mr Mylchreest said he could not speak strongly enough in favour of the move and introducing Māori wards was “just common sense”.

At the next election voters on the Māori electoral roll will have the option of voting in a general ward or for a candidate in the Māori ward.

Racing scribe mourned

World renowned racing journalist Alf Kneebone has died aged 98.

He was born in Cambridge in 1923 and attended Leamington School and Cambridge High.

In 1938 Alf moved to Hamilton and joined the Royal New Zealand Air Force as a leading aircraftman, serving during World War II. Mr Kneebone worked at the Waikato Times where he held various positions, including that of racing editor, for about 40 years. He and his late wife Frances shifted to Cambridge around 1989.

He regularly played clarinet at St Peter’s Catholic Church with one of his lifetime highlights coming at his 90th birthday in 2013 where he accompanied Neil Finn on Release Me and Moon River. Both can be seen on You Tube. Mr Kneebone was lifelong friends with Neil’s father Dick, who died two years ago.

Alf and Frances were father to 12, grandfather to 26 and great grandfather to 22.

A requiem mass was held at the Catholic Church on Tuesday.

It’s going to get tougher getting to and from Hamilton from Cambridge.

Duke St West is now one way, so we have to negotiate the CBD in order to get to Hamilton Rd. Now there is to be a school built opposite Te Awa Village.... more cars, more cones, more hopscotch dots, more pedestrian crossings, more congestion.

It seems Kaipaki Rd is our only option to get to Hamilton if you live in Cambridge South (Leamington).... unless a third bridge is built. We could have had a third bridge by now if we hadn’t wasted the money on cycle tracks, the new swimming complex and Uluru. The parking area behind ASB should be made into (at least) a threelevel car park to allow for parking in the CBD. Ask yourself, “where will we be, what will we have, by 2031?”. Are we doing the right planning in 2021? (Abridged) Alan Sayers Cambridge

Opinions expressed are not necessarily those of the publishers.

The Cambridge News is published by Good Local Media Ltd and is the most widely distributed newspaper in Cambridge and rural surrounds.

There are a number of growing concerns being expressed by residents in the Waipā district in relation to the council granting restricted discretionary permits that have numerous variances and noncompliance under the WDC District Plan rules.

Cambridge’s population is exploding, and numerous subdivisions have been allowed in both Cambridge and Te Awamutu to accommodate this. Residents reasonably expect any development to be guided by the rules of the WDC residential overlay of which they come under.

Anything else will severely disrupt the amenity, quality of life and character of Cambridge.

My belief is that in line with normal practice, to ensure proper design and infrastructure, compact housing would be done in greenfield sites, such as in the proposed development of C1, C2 and C3 off Hamilton Rd. The granting of permits to allow such compact housing to happen within wellestablished residential streets should be of serious concern to all homeowners.

There is no shutting the gate once the horse has bolted. Cambridge is at risk of losing the special and significant beauty it now holds and which the Waipā District council plan states it wishes to uphold.

of a two-system state. You rightly call it “covert politics” and Māori Wards are just part of it. Meanwhile, I applaud the standing invitation to Māori for representation on Council committees. This is where they now have the opportunity to give their Iwi viewpoint. New Zealanders can only democratically elect their Council representatives through the ballot box.

Why should some future representatives be elected only on being of “Maori descent?” This is hardly the governing system envisaged in the Treaty. Also, an excellent editorial from Roy Pilott.

I agree. Should councillors be voting on behalf of ratepayers, if they cannot debate the issue of a Māori Ward with these same ratepayers? (Abridged).

We are no accident…

In the column ‘No Planet B’ we are given an explanation for the progress of life from non-life. This defies science as it is not observable, repeatable or logical.

It means the universe is an accident.

If scientists are allowed to come up with any explanation for our origins as long as it excludes God, that also is not scientific. In modern times, we see genetic accidents having sometimes catastrophic effects, and not giving rise to a new species or function.

The Bible gives us an equally incredible explanation of how the world began - at the command of God. This points to intentional and intelligent design. But how does God create a people who he can love and be wholly loved back? Surely, they would be puppets?

When God’s plan A of perfect people allowed for free-will, it had catastrophic results. Man sinned and the relationship was broken. Death became our reality.

So, God had plan B - he showed his great love and desire to have our relationship restored and went to the ultimate extreme of paying the price of death, for our wrongdoing, to provide forgiveness and restoration.

In the beginning, the first man and woman were instructed to fill the earth and subdue it. We have a responsibility to look after it, but out of respect and reverence for our planet, not out of mortal fear that it will be destroyed.

Christians have skipped to the last 3 chapters of God’s story and have seen God’s plan for a new heaven and a new earth. So, while we must protect the earth from pollution in all its forms, we are not despairing. We have hope for eternity.

Talking about dementia In my role I deal with all age ranges, from kindergarten visits to assisting the elderly. It is our older generation on whom I want to focus today.

As we age, sometimes our memory and behaviour aren’t as good as they once were. Dementia, (a gradual loss of brain function due to changes in the physical structure of the brain), is a challenge many face. The causes of dementia vary and affect different parts of the brain.

The most common form is Alzheimer’s which accounts for two thirds of cases. Alzheimer’s New Zealand lists symptoms of dementia as recent memory loss affecting daily life, difficulty performing regular tasks, problems with language, disorientation of time and place, decreased or poor judgement, problems with abstract thinking, misplacing things, changes in mood and behaviour, changes in personality and loss of motivation.

Having said that, strokes, untreated infections and depression can also cause behaviours similar to these and it is important that an appropriate diagnosis is made.

In Cambridge, I am often asked to look into situations where concern is raised over incidents involving an older person whose behaviour is altered or deteriorated.

A case that comes to mind involved a gentleman who arrived at the Police station having misplaced his car, suspecting it stolen.

We soon discovered that he was confused, did not really know which town he was in, where he had been trying to go or where home was. In that case, his family were contacted and a medical revocation of his driver’s licence pending medical clearance followed.

His mental state could easily have affected his driving decision making, putting himself and others at risk.

Sadly, dementia can also make a person vulnerable to exploitation.

In recent years I have dealt with a few cases where a person has taken advantage of a dementia sufferer’s forgetfulness to financially exploit them, often to the tune of several thousand dollars. The offenders have been both family members and strangers.

If you believe that someone you know or love is experiencing behavioural changes, your GP is the first point of call for an assessment to be carried out. Age Concern are also a great organisation which can visit the person and liaise with the GP and other community health services to facilitate the necessary supports being put in place.

At some stage, dementia sufferers inevitably require secure residential care for safety reasons, but many supports can help them remain at home prior to that stage. To prevent exploitation of our elderly, it is important a trusted person has been decided to have oversight of wellbeing.

For this reason, it is useful to have an Enduring Power of Attorney in place early. An EPA is a document which names the person who has the power to act on behalf of the other person and make decisions for them in the event they become incapacitated.

Pool complex opens, at last

By Viv Posselt

Cambridge’s long-awaited swimming pool complex, to be known for the next decade as the Perry Aquatic Centre, was officially opened last Friday.

Waipā District Mayor Jim Mylchreest and Brian Perry Charitable Trust chairman Simon Perry cut the ribbon to the new Williamson St complex and a ceremonial plaque was also unveiled.

The $24 million centre has also been gifted the name Puna Kaukau o Te Oko Horoi by Ngāti Koroki Kahukura.

Mr Mylchreest said it was an important day for Waipā, and for Cambridge in particular. The

community has been waiting for the opening with “enormous anticipation, and a degree of impatience”.

He acknowledged that the project had not been easy, despite the efforts of those involved, adding that Covid-19 had further delayed completion of the project. “There is a saying that ‘good things take time’ … that is what we should focus on.

Thank you for your patience; I know the wait will be absolutely worth it.”

The new complex will offer health, fitness and recreational opportunities for the people of Waipā for years to come, Mr Mylchreest told guests. He also thanked the many sponsors, partners and other locals who had contributed to the project. They

included the Brian Perry Charitable Trust, Trust Waikato, the Lotteries Grants Board, the Grassroots Trust, Frances Skeet Charitable Trust, APL, the Glenice and John Gallagher Foundation, Waipā Networks, ASB Bank, C & R Developments, the Lions Club of Cambridge, Shaws Wire Ropes, the Cambridge Arthritis Support Group, Shoof International, and Bayley’s Real Estate.

He said the efforts of the Cambridge Lions to get locals behind the project, and in particular those of the late Peter Knox, had been a turning point in the community fundraising campaign.

Simon Perry said the complex added another ‘jewel in the crown’ to Waipā, boosting the Trust’s existing involvement with

other top facilities including the Don Rowlands Centre and Lake Karapiro, the Avantidrome and the Te Awa Cycleway.

“The cycleway, which will be completed this summer, connects all three jewels in the crown,” he said.

The community-owned aquatic facility will be managed by the Waipā Community Facilities Trust, GoWaipā, which was established to manage and operate aquatic facilities across the district.

In addition to the upgraded existing 50m outdoor pool, the new complex offers a new 10-lane 25m indoor pool, a toddler pool, hydrotherapy pool, spa, sauna, children’s splash pad and an outdoor play area.

…but ‘not fit for purpose’ says mum

By Mary Anne Gill

The mother of a 12-year-old disabled Hautapu schoolboy says they will use the newlyopened Cambridge Pool’s first aid room until the disability changing room is better equipped as a Changing Places facility or similar.

Diane Belcher says her son Daniel, who has spina bifida and severe kyphoscoliosis (curvature of the spine), had to change on the disability room’s concrete floor because of a lack of space and equipment.

In response, Wāipa District Council acknowledged it has had “challenges” around design and supply for the disability changing room.

“It’s frustrating for everyone and we are disappointed that this wasn’t resolved prior to opening. This is being treated with urgency,” said Debbie Lascelles, group manager Strategy and Community Services.

To meet the needs of people with physical disabilities such as spinal injuries, muscular dystrophy and multiple sclerosis; disability changing rooms need extra equipment and space which should include a height adjustable

adult-sized changing bench and a mobile hoist.

There should also be enough space for the disabled person and up to two carers.

Without these a disabled person’s safety and those of their carers are put at risk, said Ms Belcher.

“Where’s the dignity for our disabled community?

“It’s downright disgusting that this new facility is not fit for purpose for 25 per cent of the community. The pools at Te Awamutu are the same.

“A hoist into the pool and all the ramps in the world don’t mean a thing if the people who use them can’t get changed.”

Asked whether the council would consult with the disability community over what was needed at the pool, Ms Lascelles said the providers council worked with specialised in working with disabled people.

The lack of facilities was not a funding issue but because the council was unable to get supplies.

“Go Wāipa staff are working with individuals and their families as they visit the pool. They understand and respect that everyone has different needs,” she said.

“There are alternatives.”

Disability advocate John McIntosh, who was recently honoured by the Queen with a Member of the Order of New Zealand for his services to disabled people, has scoliosis himself.

“It must have been very uncomfortable and undignified for Daniel on the concrete floor,” he said.

“Ideally planners should consult with the users to ensure universal and lifetime accessibility for everyone regardless of age or disability.

“There are great examples of well-planned and accessible facilities around the Waikato region to use as a

template,” he said.

Changing Places facilities were established in the United Kingdom 15 years ago. There are now more than 1500 there, 150 in Australia, two in New

Zealand with a third under construction.

The first Changing Places facility opened at the Hamilton Gardens in March 2018.

Water reform hindered

A lack of information and a high degree of uncertainty about outcomes is hindering meaningfully discussion on three waters reform, Waipā mayor Jim Mylchreest says.

His comments were made at Waipā District Council’s service delivery committee on Tuesday, following an update on government efforts to improve drinking water supply, wastewater and stormwater infrastructure throughout New Zealand.

“We understand that the reforms may impact approximately 80,000 private water schemes having to meet new drinking water standards so the sooner information can become available the better,” Mr Mylchreest said.

“In discussions we’ve had with Local

Government New Zealand, it’s clear we still don’t know what the standards are going to be, what cost is going to be involved either from councils or through a national scheme, or how asset valuations are going to be carried out. Indications are this work is rolling on but is likely to come to an abrupt stop, particularly if larger councils choose to opt out.”

Waipā, along with most other councils, joined initial discussions and received $6.82M in funding as a sweetener to get involved in discussing the reform programme. That money is earmarked for Waipa water infrastructure but discussions about further funding had dried up, he said.

Residents’ plea: give us power

By Steph Bell-Jenkins

Maungatautari residents are want an end to power problems wreaking havoc with their homes and businesses.

They are demanding action from electricity distributor Powerco and met with representatives of the company last week to discuss their concerns.

Powerco’s customer experience manager Haydn Davies acknowledged the frustration of those who wanted supply issues resolved immediately.

“But we’re confident that the work we’ve done so far, and are continuing to undertake, will reduce the likelihood of power outages,” he said.

The company acknowledges it is dealing with aging equipment.

Kirsty Steeghs, a spokesperson for the residents’ group, said frequent power cuts and surges were affecting about 380 properties and had collectively left residents tens of thousands of dollars out of pocket.

She had recorded more than 60 disruptions to the area’s power supply between January 2019 and February this year.

People working from home had lost business hours, B&Bs had been forced to close, a home beauty salon had had to cancel bookings and two large camps had been left without water for drinking or sanitation, she said.

Kirsty, who farms in the area with her

Power problems are making dairy farming difficult for Kirsty Steeghs and other Maungatautari residents.

husband Rory, said the power problems had also hit farmers hard.

Many dairy farmers had abandoned milkings and could not meet cooling and stirring requirements for their milk, resulting in production losses. Cows had also been left with full udders, putting them at increased risk of mastitis.

A number of heavy pumps and equipment, electronics and household appliances had also burned out from continual power surges, she said.

She and her husband were among residents who had spent up to $50,000 to purchase new generators.

A letter she sent in February to Powerco seeking action from the electricity distributor was signed by more than 80 residents and business owners.

Four Powerco representatives and two from Transpower met h about 60 members of the group at Maungatautari Hall to discuss the issue last Thursday.

In a statement to Cambridge News Powerco said it was improving the quality and reliability of the Maungatautari and Horahora power supply.

It had ramped up its work programme over recent years to “address challenges on its network caused by ageing assets and how it was originally designed”, said Mr Davies.

“We know that we still have work to do in order to better meet the needs of our customers in this area both now and into the future, and we’ve begun work on our plans to achieve this over the next few years,” he said.

Powerco expects to deliver work to improve the design of the Maungatautari area network and future-proof it by 2024.

However, in the short term there would continue to be planned power outages for some residents.

Following Thursday’s meeting with Powerco, Kirsty said while she acknowledged the company appeared to have a plan in place to improve the power supply, her group was disappointed the lines had been poorly maintained in the first place.

Hospital seeks travel views

By Mary Anne Gill

Waipā residents who regularly travel to Waikato Hospital in Hamilton for clinic appointments, work or to visit patients are being urged to have their say about their experiences.

Waikato District Health Board (DHB), Waka Kotahi – NZ Transport Agency, Hamilton City Council and Waikato Regional Council want to get an accurate picture of what people think about their transport options to both the hospital and the Waiora CBD Building in central Hamilton.

Congestion at the hospital has worsened in recent years despite the construction of two car parking buildings. More than 5000 people work on site and it is the most visited Hamilton location on any day of the week.

Residents neighbouring the hospital frequently complain to Hamilton City Council about staff and visitors blocking their streets and driveways.

Travel options for Waipā residents include BusIt services to and from Te Awamutu and Cambridge.

The Te Awamutu one stops in the hospital campus while the Cambridge one links up with the Orbiter.

There are also Waikato DHB-funded travel services staffed by volunteers which can pick up people for health appointments and admissions.

They include NZ Red Cross, St John and Trikiso.

But the primary method of reliable transport for Waipā residents remains the car.

The current heavy reliance on private cars is a problem for those on low incomes, or with mental and physical disabilities who need to access healthcare, but lack affordable travel options.

The survey period ends on Monday May 31.

Sea change on Māori wards

By Roy Pilott

A remarkable turnaround in public opinion – and strong submissions from iwi - put councils wanting to introduce Māori wards on the front foot.

This is the final week councils up and down the country can vote in favour of a Māori ward switch in time for next year’s local body elections.

In 2014 83 per cent of New Plymouth District Council residents rejected the notion in a referendum and the city’s then mayor Andrew Judd chose to stand down at the next election.

But in 2021 – and on the back of extensive media coverage in the News, 84 percent of Waipā residents backed Māori wards in submissions made during consultation processes. A similar process in Hamilton suggests the

swing has spread - 81 per cent of Hamilton residents backed them.

And in New Plymouth, where the key to Māori wards was unlocked in February by Local Government Minister Nanaia Mahuta, who announced councils could make a binding decision – it emerged efforts to secure 5000 signatures to force a second referendum to stop their introduction were failing.

Waikato District and Hamilton City councils are among those who will decide this week whether or not to add Māori wards.

Matamata-Piako and Ōtorohanga districts have already done so in recent weeks.

Others to make the move have included Wellington City, Rangitikei District, Nelson City, Far North District, Tauranga City, Whangarei District, Palmerston

North and the Taranaki Regional Council.

But there has been anger – and marches – after Manawatu District and Napier City said no.

Tasman and Stratford District have also refused.

Manawatu’s deputy mayor said the community wasn’t ready for Māori wards - Napier’s mayor Kirsten Wise says Waitangi Treaty obligations do not apply to her council.

The consultation period in Waipā attracted 879 pieces of feedback – and 736 people supported adding a Māori wards.

Of 474 individual pieces of feedback within Waipā 345, 73 percent, supported Māori Wards.

Submissions from outside Waipā were also overwhelmingly in support. At the time New Plymouth sought to create a Maori ward in 2014, the district’s daily newspaper, the Taranaki Daily News, received regular letters to the editor from outside the region opposing the plan.

Andrew Judd, given the Waipā figures on Tuesday, told the News it was exciting news. He had optimistically predicted a 50-50 split.

“Māoridom has woken – and we have to do better as treaty partners,” he said.

The Waipā responses came on the back of a promotion of the consultation process by the Waipā District Council and,

according to a report presented at yesterday’s historic Māori ward meeting in Te Awamutu, media coverage from March 16 to April 14 of eight stories in the Te Awamutu and Cambridge News, with a combined audience reach of almost 24,500, and five items in two community pitched publications owned by Stuff and NZME. A week before the consultation process was announced, one of those publications announced correspondence on the issue of Māori wards had closed.

The Te Awamutu and Cambridge News ran another nine stories on the issue outside of the March 16-April dates.

Meanwhile, Waipā District Council chief executive Garry Dyet has rejected complaints from two regular News letter writers who suggested councillors had predetermined views on the issue.

“While Councillors may have previously expressed a preliminary view on this issue, which they are entitled to do so, we are confident that they have kept an open mind on this issue up to the point of making a decision on this matter later this week,” he told the News on Monday.

Hayden Woods and Bernard Westerbaan suggested Mayor Jim Mylchreest and four councillors should have been banned from voting on the issue.

The new fund will focus on providing financial support to members of the Hautapu sports community if they or a loved one is affected by a serious health issue.

Senior players will be collecting cash donations at junior rugby on May 29 from 8.30 ahead of all three of the club’s senior teams playing at home.

The main game will see Hautapu play in a specially designed jersey (pictured) supplied by Dynasty Sports and the main fundraising event of the day will be an auction in the clubrooms from 6pm where 20 of the playing jerseys – laundered post-match will be sold along with a number of other donated items including holidays and sports memorabilia.

Club spokesperson Mike Johnston said the club would still welcome the donation of goods or services that can be auctioned or sold on the night and anyone interested can call him on 021 719 022.

“We previously ran one of these events about three years ago where we raised more than $22,000 – it’s a huge day at Memorial Park and for our club,” he said.

THE AGE OF REASON

NO PLANET B

Looking for wise counsel

An hour of rubbish…

By Peter Matthews

By Peter Carr

Last week we were in Wellington on a journey that permitted me the time to peruse the local newspapers – both national daily and weekly giveaways. I had the opportunity to observe the hapless state of the local body scene especially in Wellington city.

Pity the poor mayor who is harangued daily by his fellow elected members. He is almost marooned and at the point of pleading for the whole silly circus to come tumbling down and a commissioner(s) appointed. I am sure he will not say that publicly, but I imagine it is high in his think tank. Meanwhile up the coast Kapiti – where we stayed – is a pleasant residential area with a large overlay of those of advancing years. There, a council decision has been made regarding Maori ward(s). It is a firm ‘no’ – at least a council prepared to take a stance and not kow-tow to the blathering of a singleminded left-wing government.

I have been heartened this week to receive a letter from a regular reader (who I do not know) but he appears to appreciate my weekly literary ramblings. I do not have his permission to publicise his name but, at the risk of being accused of plagiarism, I will quote part of his observations as they are very apt.

He used to live in Howick where ‘the council chamber was smaller than my house and a council meeting table twice the size of my dining table’. Further ’the Town Clerk was a skilled administrator who probably earned double the affable gent whose task it was to keep the main street tidy’. Then it fell within the larger expanded confines of Manukau City and the dream collapsed.

Interestingly he comments ‘that many Waipa councillors live outside the area that elects them’. He would like to think that councillors drink the same non-fluoridated water, dodge the same potholes and drown under the same

Autumn leaves.

Which takes me on to planning. Last week I made mention of the horror of a council planning department-supported push to permit the squeezing of 10 houses onto a single section in a pleasant tree-lined street.

The council appointed planning consultant adviser threw his support behind this ugly and very much unwanted cramming of poor design onto a pleasant verdant area. The incursion of a high number of cars onto a tiny parking area will cause spill-over onto a too narrow street.

The very nature of these dwellings on their crammed-in site will lead to them becoming rental properties. And we all know about the average number of cars sitting haphazard outside many such dwellings.

There has been an ugly silence from the Cambridge elected councillors. Never mind being photographed at the opening of some grandiose scheme. Those who voted you into these well-paid roles did not do so to spoil the charm and enjoyment of the Town of Trees and Champions. The excellent developments at St Kilda and Cambridge Park bear witness to what can be achieved. And it is pleasing to see that the developer of the large new residential / educational area out towards St Peters is also the responsible person who brought St Kilda to life.

Developer greed is both ugly and unwarranted. The land under question in Coleridge Street would pleasantly and effectively appeal to four or five long-term residents who could make sensible use of the land. Take heed councillors, the telephone silence is deafening. But the voters have long memories.

Apparently, I am grumpy on Tuesday mornings. That’s because Tuesday is rubbish day, and we have to get our rubbish bags out on the street by 7am.

I get up at six and put the kettle on and if I’m lucky I will remember what day it is before it’s too late. In fact, it is often not collected until much later, or even the next day, but the day I am late will be the day they come at seven.

If I do remember, I rush round the house gathering refuse from various rooms and bathrooms (and the latest batch from the kitchen) and then spend half an hour in the garage sifting through it all.

This is when the mood begins to deteriorate. I can hear myself droning on at the kids: “Squashed is not flattened!

Oat milk containers are not recyclable!”.

It was the same when we had a cafe a few years ago - the cardboard recycling bin out the back was forever full of imperfectly flattened boxes - and we had to pay for it to be emptied when it was full, which it always was because the cardboard was not flattened properly.

It’s not hard to flatten a cardboard box - you just have to make the decision to do it - after that it’s common sense.

However, almost invariably the best I get is squashed, and the soft plastics will be mixed in with the eggshells, and some of the tin cans will be dripping with tomato sauce - how can anyone maintain a sunny demeanour when dealing with all that on a cold wet Tuesday morning?

A year or so ago I made my teenage son stand and watch while I went through the palaver.

He didn’t enjoy it much - that was the

point - I wanted to inconvenience him into lessening my workload by doing what I’d asked him to do in the first place.

It worked for a while.

It’s the same with clothes pegs; we are always running out of pegs because they ping off the clothesline into the long grass when the kids yank the clothes off the line.

Then I mow them, and we get multicoloured plastic shards throughout the back lawn.

And the ones that don’t end up in the grass find their way into the house amongst the laundry from whence they pop up all over the house and then promptly disappear.

The thing is, when a person is standing in the kitchen with an empty pizza box, or by the clothesline when a peg takes flight, the easiest thing to do, at that point in time, is to stick the box straight in the cupboard, or not to notice the trajectory of the peg. The fairies will take care of it from there.

This is how it is the world over, and this is why the changes which are necessary to fix the planet must come from the top, as ONLY PLANET they are now beginning to do.

The Headache Clinic to alleviate pain in Cambridge A new headache clinic set to open in Cambridge will provide care and treatment for patients suffering from persistent headaches and migraines – and give them a new lease of life.

Physiotherapist Helen Tufui is the managing director of The Headache Clinic; a practice that treats patients with headache and migraine symptoms, and much lesser-known symptoms, via the neck to give them freedom and mobility in their day-to-day lives.

Opening on May 24, the Cambridge practice will be the fourth Headache Clinic location in New Zealand, with clinics also in Invercargill, Christchurch and Auckland. The Headache Clinic was the first dedicated practice in New Zealand solely focusing on addressing headaches and migraines.

“We’ve had a lot of patients coming from all over the North Island to our Auckland clinic, so hopefully Cambridge will be a little closer for some of those people, Tufui said.

With Cambridge being a hub for so many different sports, The Headache Clinic will be able to help patients with headrelated sports injuries, such as post-concussion symptoms, as well as people in regular circumstances suffering from head pain.

Connected to a sensitized brain stem, research has demonstrated that the top of the neck has a significant influence on the brain stem and flow-on effects of headaches and migraines, Tufui said. It’s in this specific area that The Headache Clinic treats people, alleviating them of their headache and migraine symptoms.

“Head pain is really so prevalent, probably more so than people realise. I’ve had patients who have suffered for 25 years and nothing has ever helped.

“When we isolate the structure that is causing the problem and correct the issue, as well as strengthening the muscles and improving posture, it’s life changing for them as the pain can resolve completely,” Tufui said.

Tufui established The Headache Clinic in 2014 after her own experience with headaches and migraines. Having hit her head, she suffered symptoms for nine months after the injury. As a professional physiotherapist, she undertook research into treatment and discovered the neck held a lot of responsibility.

“During the time of my injury there was a lot of medical research looking into the role the neck plays in migraines and headache,” she said.

“Some of that research has shown that many people with head pain also have musculoskeletal issues with the top of their spines; it’s amazing to have this knowledge because the neck is a treatable structure as the source of the pain.”

Inspired by her discovery, she completed training at the Watson Headache Institute in Australia, before returning to her hometown of Invercargill and opening her first clinic to treat the upper cervical spine in 2014.

Now, seven years later, The Headache clinic is helping its patients all over New Zealand. From elite sport athletes to people working a normal nine-to-five jobs, headaches and migraines sustained for a multitude of reasons can be treated by addressing the neck.

The Headache Clinic will open on May 24 in the Cambridge Specialist Centre at 21 Hamilton Road.

Support at the treble The writing effect

By Viv Posselt

Three organisations that exist to better the lives of others have become the latest recipients of funding through the Cambridge Women’s Club (CWC).

Word of the $800 donations made to each was revealed at the club’s May 10 dinner, held at the Moxon Centre’s Thorne House Café. The CWC, headed by president Jennie Gainsford, donates to various groups and raises money through members’ subs.

This year the funds went to the Grandparents Raising Grandchildren Trust NZ, the Waikato Women’s Refuge (Cambridge), and Duffy Books in Homes.

Representatives of two of the three groups attended the dinner and spoke about their work.

Speakers for both the Waikato Women’s Refuge and Grandparents Raising Grandchildren said the Waikato was one of the busiest regions in New Zealand for their respective organisations.

Waikato Women’s Refuge CEO Ruahine ‘Roni’ Albert said the workload has increased significantly in this region, making the Waikato branch the largest refuge in the country with nine refuge houses – some crisis and others transitional.

Many of the women it assists return to their homes, she said, meaning much of the work done by the organisation is advocacy on behalf of the women and helping them seek ways to access what they need to live independently.

Raewyn Curtis, Waikato Women’s Refuge community crisis team leader, said that the valuable relationships and connections they formed within communities were central to being able to continue to offer help 24/7.

She said there were between 130 to 160 cases of family violence in Hamilton each week.

Equal pressure is felt by the Grandparents Raising Grandchildren Trust NZ, said Pat Davis, who is the support group co-ordinator for Huntly/Hamilton. He said there were 5600 members nationwide, and Waikato was the largest growth area in the country.

The group provides wrap-around services, including legal help, social welfare advice, to the many grandparents left caring for their grandchildren. The causes were many, he said, but increasingly related to the methamphetamine epidemic. Pat and his wife joined

after taking on a set of twins from a family member – later another set of twins effectively doubled their personal commitment.

“If you support grandparents with the right wrap-around services, it can work really well. Our youngest member is just 42, our oldest is 78, and she lives in Cambridge.”

The third recipient of funding, Duffy Books in Homes, is a literacy programme promoting books in the homes of children living in low socio-economic circumstances. It works to encourage early literacy engagement and the development of reading skills.

Since starting in 1995, the initiative has supplied over 12 million books to more than 100,000 students, and inspired offshoot programmes in Australia and the United States.

Andrew Fraser’s writing website sports a photo of the man himself, clad in a yellow cycling shirt and lycra shorts, his face barely visible beneath a thick mask of black mud.

It hints at a man who not only enjoys outdoor adventures, but refuses to take himself too seriously.

In an accompanying blurb, Andrew explains he grew up on a farm in Manawatu, which “in no way equipped him to string a sentence together, let alone a 90,000-word novel”.

The Cambridge man’s enjoyment of writing, coupled with “a fascination with the irrationality of people”, inspired his first foray into creative writing five years ago.

A DairyNZ brand and channel manager who has spent most of his career “driving a desk”, he has always enjoyed putting words together and crafting sentences. So in 2016 he started a blog to share with family and friends.

“I don’t have any particular axes to grind or movements to start or anything, I just like writing,” he said.

After that he started wondering if he could write a book.

“I run and ride bikes, which is great for creative thinking time, and I thought well, if I have a good idea, I should give it a crack,” he said.

His first novel, The Lighting Effect, tells the story of Abe, an alien from the planet Granity,

Andrew Fraser

and Trent, a “very average” agrichemicals salesman from Springfield, Missouri, who become entangled in a Russian conspiracy.

“The core premise is you’ve got someone from another planet looking at what we do as humans on earth through a completely rational, apolitical set of eyes and calling out all the dumb stuff we do,” Andrew said.

Part sci-fi, part action and part humour, he expects the selfpublished novel to appeal to young adult and adult readers.

He will launch The Lighting Effect at Paper Plus Cambridge at 5.30pm on May 28. The novel is also available on Amazon.

BOOK REVIEW by PETER NICHOLL

A Richer You by

MARY HOLM

Most of us will have heard of Mary Holm as she has been writing a Q and A column on financial matters in the Weekend Herald for 23 years.

This book is based on those columns and contains 184 Q and A situations.

Over the 23 years Mary has been doing this column, she has probably dealt with about 5000 situations, so she had lots of material to choose the 184 situations in her book from.

Mary believes the best path to a ‘richer you’ is to learn from the triumphs and mistakes of others. I agree.

I have found during my career that the best lessons are often learnt from mistakes – your own and others.

The ones chosen for the book are mostly ‘ordinary’ situations that all of us have or could experience in our normal financial

dealings. They cover a wide range of issues such as different risk levels, diversification, ethical funds, loan sharks, student loans and insurance.

The three areas that get the most coverage in the book are investing in housing, saving for retirement and the Kiwi Saver scheme.

Mary’s responses are always thoughtful and helpful. She is also well aware that most of these financial questions do not have a single ‘right’ answer.

Her answers always take into account the questioner’s needs, motivations and current personal and financial situation.

The book is sub-titled ‘How to Make the Most of your Money’. I think everyone would find something in this book that is applicable and helpful to them in making the most of their money.

Hand, foot and mouth outbreak

The highly infectious hand, foot and mouth disease is on the rise in Waipā early childhood centres, primary schools and playgrounds.

The viral infection can cause a nasty rash or blisters on hands, feet and around the mouth. There is no vaccination against the virus, which is spread through contact with fluid from inside the blisters.

According to the Ministry of Health the

disease is common in the summer or early autumn and typically spread among children under 10.

During the infectious period, children are told to stay at home. The only medicine recommended is paracetamol and lots of water to avoid getting dehydrated.

Waikato DHB did not respond to a News request asking for further details from its Public Health unit, Population Health.

FAITH IN WAIPĀ

Fostering the language of love

By Murray Smith, Senior Leader, Bridges Church

The headline of an article caught my attention.

It was “Fostering the Love of Language” and it promoted the learning of other languages.

I’ve been thinking about the sarcastic, attacking and ‘bagging’ language that is prevalent in our culture, so for this ‘piece’ I have rearranged that headline to write about…

“Fostering the Language of Love”.

Reinstating the value of building others up with words and seeking to programme people for success, rather than dismantling them and prescribing failure over lives would be a good thing.

Social tolerance for belittling others, using mocking, scornful words that tear down, as opposed to building people up is very high.

Sarcasm as humour has become a ‘national sport’ in New Zealand. The original meaning of the word sarcasm has to do with “tearing of the flesh”. Outdoing your opponent with sarcastic words and comebacks is modelled by many who should know better. I’ve heard radio ‘shock jocks’ making this an ‘art-form’. Are snide digs from politicians, civic and business leaders, educators, sporting figures, “celebrities” (?), media personnel and so called ‘influencers’, confirmation that we think trash talk is ok? I hope not.

Words have power. They are significant in shaping how people see themselves and are pivotal in shaping destiny. Words can nurture, encourage, motivate, and restore people emotionally. Kind words heal and help, but cruel, cutting words produce hopelessness and discouragement.

Every person needs the empowerment of positive affirmation - receiving encouraging words will promote health and achievement.

In Kiwi culture it’s often seen as acceptable banter to label someone as a ‘loser’ or a ‘reject’

and in the guise of humour, subjecting others to mockery.

There’s an expectation to ‘just get over it’ and to ‘toughen up’. The trouble is there’s a barb in abusive words that you don’t ’just get over’.

The old line, “sticks and stones will break your bones, but words will never hurt you” is wrong. Broken bones may heal and return to functionality - yet years after unkind, thoughtless or cruel words have been spoken, recipients may still carry residual wounds at a psychological and emotional level. Our words influence how others feel about themselves and play a part in shaping atmospheres where either success or failure will characterise their life.

In our schools, bullying is generally not tolerated but bullying goes beyond physical acts, to assaulting with wounding words thoughtlessly hurled about in a destructive way. It’s damaging, shutting kids down so that they retreat to the ‘fringes’ unfairly labelled as dysfunctional.

The much-needed remedy is for some affirmation, seeing the good in others and finding respectful encouraging words, to mine the uniqueness from within people.

Words have huge impact, either edifying or undermining. They can be ‘building blocks’ or ‘brick bats’. Disagreeing with others is fine but choosing language carefully that honours dignity will go a long way in making our communities healthier places to live in and elevating our national “wairua”.

The last say comes from the Bible (Ephesians 4:29) “Do not let worthless words come out of your mouth, but only speech that is good for building up others.”

Headache Trike time – at 97 clinic all set to open

By Viv Posselt

Another new medical clinic is to open in Cambridge.

The Headache Clinic specialises in treating patients with headache and migraine symptoms and will open next Monday.

In March a new Centre, Cambridge Clinics, opened with an announcement it would house Cambridge Family Health, River Radiology, Unichem pharmacy, Skin 360 and Focused Physiotherapy.

The latest Cambridge clinic will be housed in the Cambridge Specialist Centre, which opened with a gastroenterology and endoscopy centre – also on Cambridge Road - last November.

The Cambridge practice will be the fourth Headache Clinic in New Zealand. There are others in Invercargill, Christchurch and Auckland.

“We’ve had a lot of patients coming from all over the North Island to our Auckland clinic, so hopefully Cambridge will be a little closer for some of those

people, Physiotherapist Helen Tufui, managing director of the clinic, said.

She believes that as Cambridge is a hub for many different sports, The Headache Clinic will cater for people with headrelated sports injuries, such as post-concussion symptoms, as well as people in regular circumstances suffering from head pain.

“Head pain is really so prevalent, probably more so than people realise. I’ve had patients who have suffered for 25 years and nothing has ever helped,” Helen Tufui said.

“When we isolate the structure that is causing the problem and correct the issue, as well as strengthening the muscles and improving posture, it’s life changing for them as the pain can resolve completely.”

She established The Headache Clinic in 2014 after her own experience with headaches and migraines. Having hit her head, she suffered symptoms for nine months after the injury.

Not all ladies of her vintage celebrate their 97th birthday in quite the way Ngaire Fisher did.

A few days after a family do marked her May 5 birthday, Ngaire brought the eldest and youngest of her brood of eight to the Avantidrome to witness a pastime she now enjoys on a weekly basis at the facility - riding the trikes.

She’s been a member of the Avantidrome’s Community Trikes programme for 18 months.

Coach René Eales said Ngaire was always enthusiastic and had steadily improved her times to 5km in around 45 minutes.

Watching her in action last week were her eldest and youngest sons, William and Peter Fisher.

The opening of the trans-Tasman bubble allowed them to fly over from their homes in Australia to spend two weeks with their mum and other family members.

“The opening of the bubble was perfect timing for us, couldn’t have been better,” said Peter, adding that his mum’s birthday function on the day inadvertently became something of a family reunion.

Ngaire’s trike skills may well be eclipsed by the fact she is still so active after having produced three sets of twins sandwiched between William and Peter. She had eight children under the age of eight at one stage, and five under the age of three-and-ahalf.

“I’ve never ridden bikes before this,” she smiled, “just horses. I used to ride my horse to and from school in Rata. That’s between Hunterville and Marton … it’s where I grew up.”

Ngaire then lived in Tokoroa for many years before settling into Cambridge life about five years ago.

The community trikes initiative is a highly regarded part of the Avantidrome’s community programme. It caters to new and experienced riders,

some of them undergoing rehabilitation following injury or illness, some coming along for fitness in a safe and congenial environment.

René said the programme was increasingly popular, with 1500 riders logging in this term alone, across eight or nine sessions a day, five days a week.

Flanked by her Australian-based sons, Peter and William, Ngaire Fisher too a celebratory ride on her favourite trike at the Avantidrome last week.

FARMLANDS CARD ACCEPTED

St Peter’s School’s 2021 senior production, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, ran to packed houses from May 7-13, delighting audiences with a theatrical experience as “phantasmagorical” as the magical car itself.

Directed by Hamilton’s David Sidwell, with musical direction by Sam Cleaver and choreography by Ashleigh Gibson, the show was, “to use the vernacular, more than spectacular”.

Its journey to the stage involved high drama itself when Covid forced the school to temporarily pull the plug on the production just before lockdown last year.

“It was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do in my 20 years of teaching,” said director of performing arts Stephen Morton-Jones of the moment he had to tell students the show would have to be postponed. “It was heartbreaking actually.”

Fourteen year 13 students from last year’s cast who lost their roles and many others who would have been in the crew were given free tickets to this year’s opening night.

“There was more energy backstage than I’ve ever seen before on a production,” Stephen said. “And there was a real sense of pride and excitement from last year’s year 13s who came. I think they really had a sense of relief that the show was able to go on.”

The Chitty Chitty Bang Bang stage show is based on a 1968 musical fantasy film by the same name which starred Dick Van Dyke and Sally Ann Howes.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang stars Felix Rowe (centre), Natasha Dickie (right), Nick Greaney (left) and Charlotte Tam. Photo: Mark Hamilton.

Adapted from a novel

by Ian Fleming, it follows the adventures of eccentric inventor Caractacus Potts, who restores an old race car with help from his children, Jeremy and Jemima.

After discovering the car has magical properties, the trio band together with Grandpa Potts and Caractacus’s love interest, Truly Scrumptious, to save it from the clutches of the evil Baron and Baroness of Vulgaria.

Felix Rowe was outstanding as Caractacus, demonstrating remarkable maturity in his accomplished portrayal of an older man, and Natasha Dickie was delightful as Truly Scrumptious, bringing great stage presence and a wonderful voice to her role.

Reid Callaghan and Ella Veitch elicited many laughs in the show’s other two principal parts, Baron and Baroness Bomburst, generating gorgeously evil chemistry with their superb comic talent and flair.

There was no weak link in the cast, with every stage member delivering

performances polished to a high shine and executed with captivating energy and pizzazz.

The backstage orchestra was first-class and Ashleigh Gibson, who went above and beyond the call of duty to continue with the show while on maternity leave, deserves a special mention for her dazzling choreography.

Wonderfully whimsical sets conceptualised by professional production designer John Harding combined with gorgeous costumes, evocative lighting, superb props and seamless scene changes to evoke a feeling of wide-eyed wonder from the moment the curtains burst open, creating that delightful kid-in-a-candystore feeling live theatre is all about.

“Teamwork can make a dream work,” sang the cast in one musical number, and it certainly did.

The cast and audience at Thursday’s final night production made a hurried departure at the end the show – after a hoax bomb threat was called through to police.

LTP submissions

Waikato District Council received over 600 submissions on topics ranging from inorganic rubbish collection to selling pensioner houses during its Long Term Plan engagement period which ended on May 7. Submitters who opted to be heard in person will have the opportunity to speak to the council about their views from May 25.

Back in the air

Two rare seabirds have been released back on Mt Karioi after crashlanding in the King Country. The tāiko - black petrels - were discovered dishevelled and disorientated near Benneydale and Taumarunui and taken to the Otorohanga Kiwi House to recover.

Cats in town

The Mid-Island Cat Show returns to Te Awamutu this weekend after Covid-19 saw it cancelled last year.

The show will take place at the Baptist Church on Teasdale St, running from 10.30am to about 4pm on Saturday.

One of the organisers, Sheree Russell, said there will likely be around 120 cats on show, most of them coming from around the central North Island, but with a few travelling from Auckland and Wellington.

Our ‘third world’ street

By Mary Anne Gill

Residents of one of Cambridge’s oldest streets say its care by Waipā District Council is of third world standard and that the street resembles a cross country course.

Hall Street is a designated heritage street which services hundreds of residents, raceway patrons and school students.

In a submission to the council’s Long Term plan, residents’ spokesperson Alan Hayward said the condition of Hall Street had been of concern for more than 30 years. Its appearance was not up to the standards of surrounding areas and the street was the victim of incomplete roading and poor maintenance by the council.

Another resident compared the street to a cross country course and said the street has tree roots, uneven concrete, piles of asphalt, loose stones, poor ramps, and overgrown footpaths.

“It is a very beautiful leafy street, but its roads and pathways are untidy, inadequate and often dangerous,” the submitter said.

She and her partner had a painful personal reason to ask for improvements.

One of them came off her mobility scooter and fractured her wrist while her partner tripped on an uneven concrete footpath.

Large plane trees on both sides of the street have often been explained as the reason why work has never been completed but this is not borne out by similar tree

lined streets in Cambridge which have been fully sealed, said Mr Hayward.

Eight years ago, residents met with the council on site and supported a plan for a complete upgrade of the street which included paving on the western side and feature areas. The cost has since been estimated at between $345,000 for basic completion and $1.25 million for a full solution.

“Following formal representations made in 2013 on behalf of residents, council confirmed that Hall Street “... is included in the 2015-2020 year plan for inclusion in the first three years.

“No visible or safety improvements have been undertaken and it remains for the most part and especially north of Williams Street unfinished, poorly maintained and unsafe,” says Mr Hayward in his submission.

“It should not be necessary for endless requests to be made as part of a district planning process to ensure councils attend to their primary responsibilities.

“Roading arguably should fall into a similar category as rubbish disposal, waste and water services, street lighting, parks management etc., and with some secondary services such as the library, museum and pool facilities.

“People have an element of trust that this is what the council and its elected representatives know to do, without constant follow up and reminders to attend to its fundamental tasks,” he said.

Vivienne and Graham Rickard with Hall St spokesperson Alan Hayward.

“The situation with Hall Street as we move forward has arguably become simply one of funding and priority for Council’s rates funded operations.”

The council, in its response, said it was trying to provide a suitable solution which provides the amenity residents want to see while protecting the large trees and special character of the street.

School marks 85th

St Peter’s School marks its 85th anniversary this year.

The school was founded in 1936 by Scotsman, Oxford scholar and World War One veteran Arthur Broadhurst. Fuelled by a desire to open his own preparatory school for boys, he trained as a teacher in the United Kingdom, then launched a worldwide search for a place to locate his school. After selecting Cambridge, he had American architect Roy Lippincott design the school of his dreams.

St Peter’s was opened on February 22, 1936 – the first term began with seven full-time staff and a roll of 36 boy boarders. In 1971, the school expanded to include a secondary school, and in 1987 it enrolled its first female students.

Broadhurst paid the fees of many early students and in 1939 gifted the school to the St Peter’s School Trust Board.

Today, the roll has been capped at 1250 students.

The school’s anniversary was marked in a ‘Foundation Day’ assembly, complete with birthday cake.

St Peter’s School Alumni Committee is headed by Waipā District Councillor, Philip Coles. He said the association would soon launch fundraising for an initiative that will see the restoration of the school chapel’s organ.

“An organ recital at the school on July 1 will kick off fundraising for the restoration. We’re inviting all our alumni – we have around 5000 members – so it will be a grand event.”

Another project for the anniversary year will be the publication of a historical Cutting the anniversary cake is St Peter’s School campus record of St Peter’s School, based on principal Julie Small and St Peter’s Alumni Association chairman Philip Coles.

Hawkins returns to sing

Anna Hawkins’ album release concert in Cambridge brings the singer back to a place dear to her heart.

This has always been home to her. It is where she was born and raised, and where she met and later married her co-St Peter’s School student, Simeon Clarke. Their parents live in the area, and St Andrew’s Church – where she will perform at 7pm on Friday next week – is a treasured venue.

“It’s a beautiful church, and the acoustics are great.” Speaking from the couple’s home in Tauranga, chosen for their love of the sea, Anna revealed that she is 29 weeks pregnant with their second child. Young Leon has just turned three – he was a large part of why they decided to come home.

Anna’s career has seen her perform nationally and internationally, while this latest album, Dreamer, is her fourth. She started it four years ago while overseas and although it was finished in New Zealand, it features a couple of songs recorded in Poland and music from Israel.

Her previous albums were Journey On, Bold Brave & Beautiful and Divine.

She will be accompanied at Friday’s concert by a three-piece band and the performance will feature songs from the new

Dealing with the rats

By Karen Barlow

St Peter’s, Cambridge has an extensive campus of over 40 hectares bordering the Waikato River. In addition, the school is surrounded by a demonstration farm housing dairy cows and plantings within the campus, including a Kahikatea Grove. These spaces all create a refuge for pest species.

Last year teacher and experienced trapper Damon Ingoe initiated a predator control programme with help from Predator Free Cambridge (PFC). Rat and possum traps were set up, serviced and catches recorded by students. The initial project saw 20 traps in operation with numerous predator pests being eradicated as a result.

Inspired to do more, the students and Product Design teacher Michael Moore then went on to make tunnel boxes to house the rat traps. Tunnel box supplies were provided through money given to PFC from the Waipa District Council. Almost 100 boxes were made by students. PFC is a non-profit organisation and is heavily reliant on volunteer labour and funding to get traps out into the community.

The students designed their own St Peter’s stencil to identify their tunnel boxes. Residents may have been the recipients of one of these limited-edition tunnels over the past months.

Various Predator Free groups around the Waikato are now ordering custom-made stencils made using the school’s laser cutter now too.

If you would like to pick up a tunnel box and rat trap call into the Cambridge i-Site at the Town Hall between 10am4pm to pick for a koha donation.

Karen Barlow is the community coordinator for Pest Free Cambridge. For more information go to the Facebook page or email Karen Barlow karen@goeco.org.nz

New deal to help training

Tertiary organsations Te Wananga o Aotearoa and Te Pūkenga have announced a Memorandum of Understanding they say will serve current and future generations of New Zealanders through upskilling and access to training opportunities.

The agreement commits both organisations to increasing the number of people upskilling in trades and skills-based vocations.

Te Pūkenga - the New Zealand Institute of Skills and Technology - is the vocational education provider in New Zealand and was established following the April 2020 merging of the country’s 16 polytechs.

“TWoA has a long history of working with our most vulnerable communities and with those unable to access tertiary education opportunities in remote

locations,” acting chief executive of Te Wānanga o Aotearoa, Nepia Winiata said.

“Our agreement with Te Pūkenga ensures we are positioned strongly to deliver on our mission of tauira success.

“Under the agreement we will work co-operatively and collaboratively to identify and develop areas of mutual interest that in particular contribute to the

advancement of the interest of whānau, hapū and hāpori (communities),” Mr Winiata said.

Te Pūkenga Chief Executive Stephen Town said it could mean any ‘arranging training’ functions transferred from Transitional Industry Training Organisations (TITOs) to Te Pūkenga could be delivered by the two organisations together, or could be transferred from Te

Pūkenga to Te Wānanga o Aotearoa to deliver.

“This is a big step and acknowledges the rangatiratanga of Te Wānanga o Aotearoa and the unique expertise they hold,” Mr Town said.

‘Arranging training’ is a function currently delivered by TITOs for work-based learning such as traineeships and apprenticeships and includes organising the

delivery, assessment and monitoring of training, development of training resources and supporting employers and learners.

“Ultimately we will be measured by our ability to improve outcomes for learners and employers.

We believe an interactive, positive and balanced partnership with Te Wānanga o Aotearoa can help us do that,” Mr Town said.

Planning for floods

Properties in flood prone area of Waipā will come under scrutiny as the district council launches a mapping project.

Waipā District Council is undertaking a district-wide flood hazard mapping project to help plan for New Zealand’s changing climate, and the adverse weather events climate change could bring.

The council will look at the resilience of Te Awamutu, Cambridge, Pirongia and Ōhaupō. Flood mapping for Kihikihi was carried out in 2018.

Letters will be sent to property owners identified through the preliminary report advising further investigations would be carried out by Council to determine the potential for flooding on each property.

Waipā District Council service Te Wānanga o Aotearoa acting chief executive Nepia Winiata (left) and Te Pūkenga chief executive Stephen Town following the signing of the MOU. delivery group manager Dawn Inglis

said the Waipā flood hazard mapping project aimed to identify urban areas of the district at risk of flooding so Council could plan appropriately to lessen the chance of flooding.

Severe “weather events” – also referred to as a one in 100 year event - could become more common with climate change.

More frequent intense rainfall may increase the likelihood of streams, watercourses and rivers flooding, and flash flooding could overwhelm urban drainage systems.

Councils have been urged through the Resource Management Act to take a proactive approach to planning for adverse weather events.

“The project helps us better understand the capacity of our current stormwater systems during and postsevere weather events,” Dawn Inglis

said.

“It’s important that property owners know where flooding is expected so they can plan for that. We certainly don’t want properties being built on land where there is a risk of flooding in the future.

“The next step in the investigation will tell us if it’s only in one corner, or on a shared driveway, or some other area away from the dwelling.

“It’s important people understand the risks relating to their own properties, however low they are, as these type of rare events may occur more frequently.”

Information gathered during the project will also help to determine whether or not existing stormwater infrastructures are fit-for-purpose.

Amazing team wins award

Gemma Perry celebrated being a finalist in the awards for the country’s best community pharmacy in 2016 – five years on and she is a winner.

Sanders Pharmacy was named Community Pharmacy of the Year at The

New Zealand Primary Healthcare Awards, He Tohu Mauri Ora, last weekend.

Judges were impressed by the pharmacy’s response to the Covid lockdown.

The Te Awamutu pharmacy was

established in 1953 and Gemma Perry has owned it since 2010.

She put the win down to an “amazing team” and customer care.

The seven day a week pharmacy in the Te Awamutu Mega Centre employs 20 staff, six pharmacists, five technicians and an intern.

The national awards notes said: “heeding the words of the New Zealand Prime Minister, Sanders Pharmacy adopted a go hard and go early response to the Covid-19 pandemic”.

“Their response started by closing their doors 10 days before the national lockdown and developing a barricaded walk-in zone with counters and perspex screens to protect staff, their families and patients. Opening hours were increased and staff were split into two teams. The results speak for themselves with a recent customer survey showing a very high level of satisfaction because of their approach to Covid-19.

The pharmacy is already concentrating back on a community event tomorrow in the wake of its big win.

“We are also doing a huge fund-raising drive for I Am Hope and Gumboot Friday,” said Gemma.

Covid jabs: DHB in talks

The next group of Waipā people eligible to receive their Covid-19 vaccinations should hear by the end of the month when and where they can get vaccinated.

The News understands Waikato District Health Board (DHB) is in talks with various community groups over using facilities large enough to meet the expected need.

Group three are people at risk of getting very sick from Covid-19. This includes people who are aged 65 or older, disabled, pregnant, have a relevant underlying condition or live in custodial settings, such as Waikeria Prison.

But there could be further delays, according to a report released by the Auditor-General this week. The audit aimed to look at how ready the health sector was to meet its vaccination goals.

“Setting up adequate communication channels between the Ministry of Health, district health boards and primary healthcare providers meant that key stakeholders have not always felt property informed about their roles in the programme,” the report said.

Waikato DHB did not respond to a News request asking when and where the Covid-19 vaccinations would take place in Waipā.

COMMENT

Reset please, not reform

By Russ Rimmington, Chair, Waikato Regional Council

Hydraulic Hose Distributors

FIND US BEHIND FARM SOURCE

1 Lower Alpha Street, Cambridge

It’s time for local government to reset.

That’s why I welcome Minister Nanaia Mahuta’s recent announcement of the ‘future for local government’ review.

It’s been more than 30 years since a close look was taken at the sector as a whole, resulting at the time in the amalgamation of hundreds of drainage, pest and other boards to create regional councils.

While I think it’s been very successful, the legislative changes now being thrust upon local government from up high will result in financial struggles for the smaller rural councils. Ultimately, it’s a burden that will be shifted onto the ratepayer. While these councils do an awesome job serving their communities, some mergers are inevitable.

Prior to the Minister’s announcement, Waikato Chamber of Commerce chief executive Don Good had suggested amalgamation. I oppose a super council like Auckland – it hasn’t brought the synergies of cost effectiveness and other efficiencies we were told it would.

That’s evident in some of the big issues that council is dealing with.

WHY JOIN US?

to discuss issues and problems and it’s important that connector be retained. I can’t see the likes of people in Tūrangi wanting to be administered by the same super council responsible for Port Charles and Port Waikato – they have nothing in common.

With this said, I think a reset is needed rather than large-scale reform. Local government can do it better and more efficiently without throwing the baby out with the bath water. The key to meaningful change is having central government, local government and iwi at the table together.

It’s my personal view that we need to see what the Government comes up with around the functions of local government before any future form can be decided.

There is a better way, no doubt. This challenge from central government is something we should embrace, taking the opportunity to work with them to ensure better outcomes for our communities.

It’s vital that people take an interest in local government and the decisions affecting them.

That’s why I’m delighted at the high

level of interest there has been in Waikato Regional Council’s long term plan, which closed for public feedback on April 30 after a month of consultation.

All up we’ve received just under 1500 submissions, with our proposal on our Waikato to Auckland passenger rail service, Te Huia, attracting the most feedback.

There are some strong views which have been shared on all eight proposals, and we’ve heard more from individuals, community groups, other councils and organisations, during hearings in the second week of May. As councillors we go into deliberations at the end of this month with an open mind and confidence that we’ll have an even more workable 10year plan by the end.

While consultation on this long term plan has closed, I do encourage you to talk to your constituent councillor and raise with them any issues you think need to be considered by the regional council in the future.

If you are a local business "looking for valuable business advice and tools, look to the Cambridge Chamber of Commerce, the benefits far outweigh the cost.

Big game for Reds on ‘Rod’s day

Cambridge face their biggest challenge of the Lotto NRFL season so far when division leaders Onehunga Mangere United visit John Kerkhof Park on Saturday.

The Auckland club are unbeaten at the top of the second division, giving the fifth-placed Reds the chance to close the gap on them.

The match will be one of four home games this Saturday with the club calling it ‘Rod Larnach Day’ in the memory of Life Member Larnach who died, aged 71, last year. Efforts to honour Larnach were disrupted by the COVID-19 lockdown so the club will instead show their respects this weekend.

The Reds provide the main game at 3pm, chasing their third win in a row against Auckland clubs.

Last weekend, they won their first round tie in the ISPS Handa Chatham

Rod Larnach

Cup, football’s oldest club competition, beating Otahuhu United 3-0 away.

Leading scorer Aston Hurd put the Reds ahead after 13 minutes, set up by midfielder Marc Glenister.

Tom O’Leary doubled Cambridge’s lead in the 32nd minute and put the result beyond doubt with his second goal, soon after half-time.

The win capped an

outstanding weekend for the club with six of its senior men’s and women’s teams winning. Three of those teams lead their competitions.

In the WaiBOP Championship, Cambridge beat an energetic Waikato Unicol 2-1 at John Kerkhof Park.

With nearest rivals Tauranga Old Blues and Otumoetai dropping points, Cambridge moved two points clear at the top of the table.

They struggled to find their rhythm for much of the first half but the game turned as the first half was about to end. Unicol goalkeeper Anukaran Poudyal brought down Cambridge striker Adam Brady, resulting in a penalty and an early shower for the red-carded ‘keeper.

Tom Woutersen smashed home the penalty to give his side the lead.

In the 74th minute, Cambridge scored again when Dan Morris floated a long cross into the Unicol box and Player of the Day Jordan Silvester won the race for the ball, nudging it past the stand-in ‘keeper.

As the game reached the 90th minute, Unicol substitute Ben Williams pulled back a goal, creating a few minutes of nerves before Cambridge were assured of the win.

Cambridge’s women’s team also head their competition after a 6-1 win against Melville United Epics at John Kerkhof Park.

The side has won all its four Waikato Women’s Division 2 matches, scoring an average of five goals a game.

Last week’s scorers were Auryn Maroney, Olivia Milne, Mariela Robledo (2), Rachel Hill and Player of the

Day Steph Upton.

Cambridge lead the Waikato men’s Division 4, maintaining their 100% winning record this year with a 6-0 win at Matamata.

Scorers were Kevin Grace (3), Tom Gifford, Shane Gray and Andrew Myers. Grace was the Player of the Day. In the over 35’s men’s league, both Cambridge teams won by large margins.

The D1 team beat Northern United Old Boys 8-0 with goals from Greg Zeuren, Fabian Burgos (2), Miguel Peterle (2) and a second-half hat-trick to Ben Ward.

The second Cambridge team beat West Hamilton United 6-2 with Peter Buesnel scoring a hat-trick and other goals from Gary Kelk, Mark Maloney and Jack Sickelmore, all of whom were registering their first goals of the year.

In the WaiBOP Football

Federation Y-League, Cambridge U-13s swamped Claudelands Rovers 13-2 after leading 8-0 at half-time.

Scorers were Jaxson Makgill (4), Luke BrookeSmith (2), Luca Savage (2), Jesse MacDonald (2), Max Mitchell, Regan Grey and an own goal.

The U-15s lost 5-0 to topof-the-table Rotorua United.

The side had the better of the first half but could not find a goal and the sides turned round 0-0.

Rotorua scored five goals in a 10-minute spell to seal the win.

Luke Mitchell and Luke Sickelmore both put in fine performances for the side.

The Cambridge U-12s federation team beat Hamilton Wanderers 3-1 at John Kerkhof Park.

Scorers were Mylo Maloney, Jack Wilson and Theo Barlow.

Five points in the bag

In a match which promised much but tended towards mediocre by Hautapu standards, the playing through Waikato rugby champs still secured five vital championship points in the opening round.

In a 32-28 win over Hamilton Old Boys at Memorial Park, Cambridge, there were flashes of the outstanding attacking ability this APL Hautapu team possesses, has with tries to Josh Gascoigne (2), Tom Maiava and Davey Morris, however as the game wore on it turned into an arm wrestle marred by errors and referee Josh Bull having to blow a merry dance on his whistle.

Old Boys dominated the latter stages of the game and after being down 20 – 6 at halftime managed to outscore Hautapu in

the second half without ever threatening to take the lead.

Best for Hautapu were fullback and player of the day Kaea Hongaro, hooker Nic Jeffcoat until injured, and Josh Gascoigne who always looked dangerous.

Hautapu Sports play Melville next week at their Collins Road, Hamilton ground.

Front runners Fraser Tech opened the new round with a 40-14 win over Marist while Melville sounded a warning, beating Ōtorohanga 22-21.

Hautapu’s premier B side put in an improved performance, but were beaten by a similarly improving Hamilton Old Boys 30-14. For Hautapu, winger Josh Gore scooted in for two excellent team tries and Cam Steele

added the extra points from the boot. Ageless Bill Smith, Matt Hicks, and nippy first five Cam Bourke are all playing to off-set the high injury toll for the B team this season.

Hautapu Colts were dominant winners, 65–5 over Hamilton Old Boys. The team came out firing and Old Boys defence cracked when Blake Seavill crossed over within the first 90 seconds.

Other highlights in the first half saw Todd

THURSDAY MAY 20, 2021

Silva scoring off a perfectly executed set piece move which was one of four tries, and a half where the Colts were dominant in set piece and broken play.

It was more of the same in the second half as the game opened up and Hautapu displayed excellent skill levels and attacking team play with numerous long range tries including three to outstanding halfback Maia George.

Leamington win again

Leamington came through what was by far its toughest challenge of the season to beat Ōhaupō 24-10 on Saturday.

They joined University, Matamata and Southern United at the top of the new Championship Round. Ōhaupō employed a measured kicking game with a solid chaser and defence that held The Cambridge Stud Leamington side in their own half for long periods.

Leamington led 12-10 at the break, having been behind twice. Robert Day and Kore Murfitt scored the tries.

The Blues showed more discipline and patience in the second half, keeping the home side pointless. Hayden Ivil scored out wide and Sam Monkley secured the win in the last movement of the game to also get a bonus point.

The Waipa Civil Senior B’s made short

work of the Ōhaupō Bs, leading 35-0 by half time thanks to a Jarrod Davy hattrick and eventually running out 62-0 winners.

The Regal Agriculture Leamington Under 21’s won a nail biter, 29-28 at Matamata having led 12-7 at half time thanks to a try to Jack Heaslip and conversion to Zac Molloy and an unconverted try to Israel Waetford.

A converted try to Zac Molloy and two unconverted tries to Devon Shirley, the last one deciding the game, completed the scoring.

The Carrick Finance Under 85Kg team lost 33-5 at Melville, with Pry Kahui scoring the side’s try.

Poly is a cracker

Cambridge’s new artificial track has hosted its first meeting – a New Zealand first.

The weather yesterday was excellent for the televised meeting on the first completed artificial track of three being prepared across the country.

A frenetic week for the Cambridge Jockey Club culminated in the country’s first official race meeting run on a synthetic track.

Construction of the Polytrack surface began in January 2020 and despite issues caused by the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown two months later, the club has

been successfully operating jump-outs, trial meetings and morning trackwork on the surface since October.

At the weekend Cambridge Jockey Club chief executive Mark Fraser-Campin was excited about the transformation of the entire training complex as it readied to host the

historic event.

Two marquees were set up for the public and industry participants.

“To be fair if Cambridge Jockey Club chief you had been here two weeks executive Mark Fraser-Campin. ago you may have been a little worried, but all the new concrete has gone in, the jockey rooms have been upgraded and over the weekend we have put new linoleum in the kitchen, painted the floors and completed a number of tasks like that,” Fraser Campin said.

He tagged yesterday’s meeting a “soft opening…we’re looking at having an official function and the like at our race meeting on July 28 where we will have our $40,000 races in play.

“By that stage we will have five meetings under our belt, and it makes sense to do it then to close out the season.

“That way we can host our dignitaries and the people who have helped make it all possible, in the appropriate manner.”

The Polytrack can handle a heavy workload and has been doing so for more than six months.

It hosted about 170 horses for trials earlier in the week and there were capacity fields lined up yesterday.

“Once this first meeting is out of the way I think we will see the benefits over the coming months and even though we will learn a lot from the day, I’m confident that the Industry will embrace what the surface has to offer to us all,” Fraser Campin said.
