Welcome to the wash bowl

Cambridge’s four main town entrances will receive a makeover. These sites include Hamilton Road, Victoria Street, Tirau Road and Cambridge Road. The four images have been selected to represent the town, with pictures of Leamington Band Rotunda, Victoria Bridge, Lake Te Kō Utu and Rowing on Karāpiro. The wording ‘Nau mai Haere mai ki Te Oko Horoi’ means ‘Welcome to the wash bowl’ as said by Kingi Tāwhiao in the 1860s.

Streets for People – minus the dots

By Blair Voorend

The Streets for People campaign in Cambridge will soldier on, Waipā District Councillors have decided.

They decided at their full council meeting this week that the wave of negative responses to the project’s trial period rolled out earlier this year was more to do with aesthetics

than the concept.

Ahead of the meeting several changes had already been announced – notably that the unpopular pink and blue dots at intersections would be driven out.

Traffic on Duke St has been restored to two lanes following complaints from emergency services.

While the trial is over many of the projects implemented at the moment will remain temporarily until better solutions can be found.

Councillor Susan O’Regan said that while it was important to “soldier on” with the road safety implementation better work needed to be done in its execution and what works for the community.

Many councillors did seem to be in agreement that while a lot of negative feedback did come in it seemed to be around the aesthetic of some of the lay outs, with the blue and pink dots rising the most complaints, but that the community were very much behind the road safety improvements.

said that it is a matter of “moving forward with the community” and not leaving them out of the process.

Councillors were told schools involved in the project reported it has contributed to lowering speed and had contributed to safer journeys for students walking, biking or scootering to school.

Well said, Peter…

In defence of Peter Matthews and Planet A. Contrary to what A. Oakley from Hamilton comments about - the Labour Government being a nanny state and Peter Matthews’ reprehensible comments (Letters, June 24) we believe that A. Oakley is being arrogant towards and ignorant of the impacts of climate change.

Electric vehicles go a small way to mitigating the effects of carbon dioxide being emitted into the atmosphere. It is the Oakleys of this world who are out of touch.

And as for S. Lister of Otorohanga (Letters, June 24) who confuses the EV feebate with Communism, our personal opinion is that a non-polluting lifestyle will possibly allow her grandchildren to have a sustainable future. Peter Matthews should be lauded for his ‘No Planet B’ column in The Cambridge News.

Loathe it…

That Waipa DC disagree with residents about the leaf problem at this time of year is unsurprising.

Agreeing would be tantamount to admitting they are failing in their duty of care to residents and road users alike by their selective and poor attempts to clear fallen leaves. That failure subjects residents to the risk of flooding to their properties and motorists (and pedestrians/cyclists) having to negotiate dangerous localised pooling and huge mounds of leaves that obstruct roads.

At this time of year Leamington looks anything but “tidy” as claimed by council. Additionally, council’s stormwater engineers’ claim about the lack of requests for maintenance (of drains?) are both masterly examples of the art of duplicity and mendacity that are the cornerstone of council utterances, as I know from firsthand experience. All need to get out more rather than sit in their ivory towers pontificating publicly on issues they know

or care little about. That council may have had no requests for maintenance simply reflects the fact that residents know such requests will fall on deaf ears. It is easier for people like me who walk Leamington daily to clear blocked drains as we pass by rather than try to get council to attend to areas of concern.

Kelvin Dunn, Leamington Family search I am doing some genealogical research and I’m wondering if some older residents of my hometown of Cambridge may be able to help me. Would anyone know if Lorna Andrew and possibly her sister, who may have been called Heather, worked in Haworth’s store during the 1950s and possibly 1960s? Lorna would probably have worked in the china department.

I would also like to know if anyone knows anything about Lorna’s brother Ron and if he worked in the Farmers Auctioneering Company in Duke Street in the late 1920s. Lorna lived in Hamilton Road and Ron in Queen Street.

Covid debate Worldwide scientific evidence has demonstrated the total effectiveness of Ivermectin for the Covid virus. Ivermectin isn’t the only successful treatment available.

The Covid vaccines implemented under the worldwide Emergency Use Authorisation (EUA) came into force on the false premise that there were no other effective protocols available. Governments, the media and health’ authorities have endorsed and implemented lockdowns, social-distancing, mask-wearing, mandatory passports and vaccinations.

EUA legislation has enabled experimental vaccines to be used worldwide on humanity.

All participants in these medical experiments are in breach of The Nuremberg Code of Ethical Conduct.

Four British airline pilots who had been vaccinated died of blood clots within days, and another passed out on the runway.

Genuinely concerned medical professionals and scientists are at a loss as to how to assist the millions of vaccinated victims.

On the beat with Senior Constable DEB THURGOOD

Help us, and we can help you…

I am pleased to see arrests being made in Auckland and Waikato in relation to recent ram raids and burglaries. I know it is the direct result of a lot of hard work by a dedicated investigative team. So often, one core group of offenders is responsible for a number of offences, and it is great to stop them in their tracks.

It is not only our urban community who find themselves the target of thieves, however.

We also periodically see rural burglaries, including three recently in our area.

Having attended one of the burglaries just last Saturday, discussions moved to the local neighbourhood Facebook page. Once the victim highlighted their burglary to farming locals, there were a series of comments relating to a suspicious vehicle seen in the area, on private farm driveways and generally in the no exit road.

This vehicle may or may not be related to the burglary, but regardless, we would have liked to have received reports of its activities when first sighted.

Had we received a call to 111/105 for suspicious behaviour, Police could have tried to catch up with the car on its travels. We

would have confirmed the registration plate, linking it to the registered owner/driver and any passengers, all whilst promoting road safety. If the occupants were up to no good, such an interaction may have deterred or interrupted their activities whilst providing key information should forensics then link them to any subsequent crime.

Rural crime prevention tips are very similar to those that apply in urban settings. Ensure that keys for vehicles are not kept in the same garage/shed as the vehicle itself, even the spare keys. Lock your house whenever you are away from it, including if you are simply elsewhere on the farm. For valuable items, record the make, model, serial numbers and value of all. Where you have laptops or cell phones, enable the find my device option before you need it.

When it comes to jewellery, specifically where of high value or sentimental value, take a photo of the item and a copy of any valuation. The same applies to any antique items. I recommend www.snap.org.nz for this purpose. You can set up a profile free of charge, enter the specific details for each valuable item and even upload your photos. For warranty

purposes, when you make new purchases, I also suggest including a photo of the sales receipt.

Once uploaded, you will be able to easily access the information from any internet connection should you need it.

If you are unfortunate enough to discover you’ve been burgled, phone Police immediately. Our scene of crime officer will need to attend so do not touch areas that you believe are the points of entry and exit - leave things as much as you find them as possible.

Where possible, leave any disturbed items, in situ. If you have to touch something, do so in a way that minimises contact and is not in the way a person would normally use it (for example the bottom edge of a door or very edges of a cell phone). Be alert for any items that may have been left behind by the offenders and ensure you tell attending staff about them.

If you would like to know more or would like to organise a crime prevention meeting for your rural community, email CambridgeCommunityLiaison@police.govt.nz or come and see me at the station.

Waipā and Waikato rate increase Waipā and Waikato district councils have adopted their 10-year Long Term Plans and set the rates for the financial year starting today. In Waipā rates will go up 4.6 per cent and in Waikato by 6.5 per cent. The 10-year average increase in Waipā will be 2.2 per cent a year while Waikato’s will be 3.5 per cent.

Waipā chief executive Gary Dyet said the increase in his district was relatively low in comparison to others around the country largely due to the district’s high level of growth paid for by development contributions. See more, page 10.

Waipā water New multi-million-dollar Waipā water supply plants have been blessed at a dawn ceremony led by Waipā District Council.

The karakia were at two facilities in the new supply line, the upgraded Parallel Road water treatment plant near Cambridge, and the Te Rua Kotāre (Taylor’s Hill) Reservoir in Te Awamutu.

Firefighters graduate Two of the 26 recruits who graduated as firefighters at Fire and Emergency’s National Training Centre in Rotorua last week have been assigned to the Hamilton station. One is from Te Awamutu and the other is living in Cambridge. The News plans to catch up with the pair when they start work.

Library call Waipā District Libraries is seeking at least 10 youngsters between the ages of eight and 15 to take part in a July 29 PechaKucha event in Cambridge which will feature the children as speakers.

PechaKucha is a presentation format that uses slides or images that are displayed for 20 seconds each. The slides move automatically as the presenter is speaking. Those keen to know more or register their interest should contact their library.

Bridge cam checks on the big rigs

By Mary Anne Gill

A new camera has been installed at the northern end of Cambridge’s historic High Level (Victoria) Bridge to detect if large vehicles are complying with warning signals.

The installation was completed last month and involves pointing the camera towards the bridge so council staff can see whether oversize vehicles take a detour when the warning sign is lit.

Victoria Bridge, built in 1907, is a high-level cantilever or steel arch bridge and a first for Australasia. It is 141 metres long, includes an 88-metre central arch, runs 38 metres above the Waikato River and is 5.2 metres wide. The bridge is rated to a 3-tonne maximum for each vehicle.

There have been several instances where heavy good vehicles, banned from using the bridge, have caused damage when they used it.

Six years ago, a milk tanker weighing 42 tonnes, was stuck in the middle of the bridge.

Earlier this year Waipā District Council disputed claims made on social media about the condition of the bridge saying it had no concerns about its safety.

A final report which would inspect and analyse the condition of the bridge deck was commissioned earlier this year and is expected to be publicly available soon.

But the safety claims continue to bubble away on Facebook adding weight to calls for the construction of a third Cambridge bridge.

The News asked Waipā District Council why the Cambridge wastewater pipe bridge from the Gaslight Theatre across the river to Alpers Ridge in Leamington was not converted into a pedestrian/cycle bridge when the bridge was upgraded three years ago.

A spokesperson said the cost to include pedestrians on the pipe bridge was significant as the bridge and its foundations were designed to a high standard to ensure minimal movement even in a seismic event.

This would safeguard the pipe against breaks and ensure wastewater could still pass over the river after such an event.

“A dedicated pedestrian bridge built to a lower specification at a more suitable location, would have been considered if money had been available at the time, however this was not the case,” the spokesperson said.

Waipā council owns the northern bank of the bridge while the southern bank is in private ownership.

A land strip alongside Alpers Ridge houses is in an unformed road reserve, owned by council, and is used for stormwater management with a discharge to the river at the end.

Asked why the council had not considered using the Public Works Act to secure the private land on the Leamington side, the spokesperson said the act could take up to two years to complete and the extra sewer capacity across the bridge was needed urgently to cater for growth in Cambridge

Smile – you’re on Bridge cam camera – council is monitoring Cambridge’s high-level bridge.

north of the river.

This and the lack of money to build a pedestrian bridge and associated bankside paths were the primary reasons the concept did not progress at the time.

A Cambridge lobby group told The News last month it had found an ideal site for a traffic bridge and urged the council to “get cracking” and build it.

But the council says it will not make any comment on the plans for a bridge from near the Velodrome across to Matos Segedin

Drive in Leamington, until it completes a transportation strategy.

If that strategy indicates the need to move at pace to identify a third river crossing, council will pull together funding from operating reserves to designate and acquire land for the bridge.

Council says it would cost at least $65 million and without a government subsidy (because it is too early and the demand is not great enough), all Waipā ratepayers would carry the full cost of an additional bridge.

Waka Ama loses as funds juggled

By Mary Anne Gill

An event which attracts thousands of visitors and empties supermarket shelves has had its funding cut in the latest round of Waipā District Council’s district promotion fund.

More than $150,000 was allocated

from the fund last week to support 34 events that promote the Waipā district as an attractive place to live, work, invest and visit.

The Waka Ama Sprint Nationals, held at Lake Karāpiro over seven days every January, received $20,000 last year and was expected to get the same from the fund this year. It had its funding reduced to $13,000.

Cambridge retailers, particularly supermarkets, have said the Waka Ama event results in increased turnover over the week it is held.

This reduction in funding is despite the Waka Ama being given the highest ranking out of the 41 applications received. The criteria for funding covers six areas.

The Waka Ama nationals were rated 40 out of 60 and The Ride Festival 39. The Ride Festival will still receive the $20,000 staff recommended.

Other organisations which get less than recommended are Feast Waikato - $2500, was $5000, Hydro

Thunder Champs $3000, was $5000 and Kiwigrass Festival $2500, was $3000.

The New Zealand Cross Fit Nationals will get $7000, up from the $5000 recommended.

Six events which staff recommended no funding for were instead granted sums ranging from $1000 - $5600.

They are Balloons visit Waipā - $5600, Cambridge to Hamilton Paddle Race - $1000, Canoe Racing Champs - $1500, Prep Rugby Festival - $1500, Soaked in Adventure - $2000 and Te Awamutu Rowing Club - $1000.

Two committee members, Philip Coles and Marcus Gower declared conflicts of interest; Coles in the Prep Rugby Festival at St Peter’s School, Cambridge and Gower in Soaked in Adventure in Te Miro. Both events will be held this month.

A Waipā District Council spokesperson said there was a delicate balance between funding

higher or lower amounts and to distribute the funds as widely as possible.

Thirteen of the events will be held at Lake Karāpiro and 11 in Cambridge.

Other committee members include mayor Jim Mylchreest, deputy mayor Liz Stolwyk who is site manager for Mighty River Domain at Lake Karāpiro, Clare St Pierre, Kevin Burgess and Merv Gyde.

Stolwyk declared a conflict of interest in applications for the Great Kiwi Summer Expo and the Ōhaupō Light Show Gala Event while Burgess declared a conflict in relation to the Ride Festival application.

The spokesperson said the Ride Festival has long-term opportunities for international growth.

Similarly, Balloons visit Waipā, held in Te Awamutu this year and in Cambridge in previous years, provides value to the community, the committee decided.

It’s a van-tastic plan for Resthaven

By Matteo Di Maio

He’s a man with a plan to get Resthaven a van.

Today marks the beginning of a twomonth-long campaign by Cambridge High School geography teacher Blair Ludlam and his class of Extension 4 students to raise $70,000 to purchase a mobility van for the residents of Cambridge Resthaven retirement village.

The so-called ResthaVAN campaign will run until August 19, peaking on August 5 with a town-wide ‘Thrifty Fifties’ dress-up day.

Paulo Baldo, one of two year 13 students coordinating the class’ fundraising efforts, said he saw the dress-up day as a way of: “bringing Cambridge back in time; a sort of a nostalgic feeling for the residents at Resthaven.”

In March, former Cambridge High School principal Phil McCreery, who sits on the Resthaven Community Trust Board, approached Extension 4 with the idea for the campaign. Extension 4 – which Ludlam has led since 2014 – is a programme for students in their last year of high school, and focuses on life skills, connections and community service. “[Resthaven is] working on a bunch of other stuff,” explained Ben Eastwood, a year 13 at Cambridge High who has sat on the Resthaven board as part of the campaign planning process.

“So, they thought this would be a great opportunity of us for a class. They’re working on a new wing; they don’t have the time and [need for residents’ mobility] has fallen by the wayside.”

Baldo, who is leading the project with Elena Huggins, said the Extension 4 class

Back to the drawing board.

soon visited Resthaven.

“We had many chats with the residents to bolster our connection between the high school and the rest home,” he said.

Ludlam said the class was inspired by the unique business model of Resthaven, which, as a non-profit, operates through a community trust.

In touch with this close-to-Cambridge ethos, the class wanted to build a grassroots campaign all the town could contribute to—rejecting big corporate sponsorships (and naming rights) for donations from local business and families.

“They were offered major sponsors, and they turned it down,” Ludlam said. “But it was under naming rights … I feel like that will pay off in the long run ... a kid will donate a dollar, or five dollars from a family

and they don’t feel like they’re overrun.”

This decision was a tense one for the class, but those backing the community ethos came through.

“That was the biggest thing,” Ludlam said, “We want every family, every kid, every school who donates to feel like they contributed.”

The campaign has leveraged the Extension 4 programme’s connections with successful alumni across the world—from ex-students and current marketing professionals have filled the students in on what it takes to run a campaign, to former members in Hong Kong playing star rugby.

The students have filmed promotional videos, and plan to post these, as well as endorsements from former pupils and New Zealand celebrities, on the campaign’s social

media channels.

So far Jono and Ben, the comedic duo, have signalled their support in a video. So has Sue Collier, who runs the Cambridge Grapevine, and Grace Lewis, a former student speaking from the middle of Times Square, New York.

Ludlam says he could not have imagined a better learning opportunity.

“Within our goals [as Extension 4], community spirit is one of them — we’ve dabbled in this before. [The kids have] done kind and generous things. But this is the most far-reaching thing that I’ve ever seen,” he said.

As an education initiative, this was always the point of Extension 4, he said.

“That was always my dream,” Ludlam said. “That there was far more to learn than just geography … if you did it right, kids would learn things we couldn’t imagine when we started. How cool to have two 17-year-olds sitting on a community board, kids talking GST to the school accountant, going to the Chamber of Commerce.”

Cambridge Resthaven is a community trust, established by the community over 45 years ago.

The Trust has developed and grown with the community, always retaining its community trust status and community ethos.

It is a not-for-profit organisation that is 100 per cent Cambridge owned and every dollar goes back into providing services for Cambridge seniors.

Anyone looking to contribute to the campaign can do so at: https://resthavan. rocketspark.co.nz/campaign/ Businesses or organisations keen to join in the Thrifty Fifties dress up can contact the school at ld@camhigh.school.nz.

THE AGE OF REASON

FAITH IN WAIPĀ

The pain of being stuck in traffic

Say goodbye to that anger

Wandering back from Tauranga a couple of weeks ago, I was forcibly held up by a long queue when trying to enter State Highway 1 from SH 29.

And so, I was daydreaming over the next eight car-crawling minutes about the effect that a roundabout would have to alleviate this situation.

Imagine that the much talked about (by the government - now free of the Greens) roundabout was in place –would the traffic from Tauranga enter the main north-south road any quicker? The answer is it will not. As the southbound traffic will have right of way.

So park that thought for a moment and consider that, had the extension to the Waikato Expressway (as promised by the National government) been allowed to progress there would be an interchange at this point that would permit sensible and safe merging of the two key roads.

Now bring the thought back. It has been reported this weekend that the megaroundabout that the current government is talking about will cost $58 million. I thought that I had misread the figure but no, it was clearly stated. Extend that cost to the fully costed, planned and yet-to-be-authorised Expressway extension all the way from eastern Cambridge at $635million. A road that will, without doubt, allay the 22 deaths and serious injuries that occurred on the current lakeside stretch over four years.

That amount is approximately two thirds of the cost of the highly criticised bridge to permit a death-free group of fitness driven two-wheeled Lycra clad liberals a passage over the Auckland Harbour.

Now think of me as being selfish if you will. But the amount of freight alone that links the Port of Tauranga with the King Country

I watched a pedestrian as he walked across a wide intersection in Cambridge focussed on enjoying a pie he probably bought at a nearby bakery.

Absorbed with his pie, he failed to notice a vehicle approaching the intersection. The driver had right of way, but the distracted walker wandered in front of the vehicle. There were no squealing brakes, but a blaring horn startled everyone nearby. The bewildered pedestrian stopped, turned 45 degrees to face the vehicle and just stood there motionless seemingly paralysed.

This action appeared defiant to the driver who leapt from the vehicle, enraged by the pedestrian’s apparent indifference. Getting right up into the hapless jay-walkers face, the infuriated driver yelled and screamed a tirade of abusive obscenities. He demanded to be shown where the white lines on the road were, that entitled the stroller to impede his vehicle’s right of way. The walker was likely in shock because he stood statuesque, totally unresponsive.

Soon cars piled up behind the aggressor with other drivers getting out to restrain an anticipated punch-up. Confrontation of this magnitude creates a palpable spiritual vibe of violence you feel in the atmosphere.

Ever so slowly the walker turned, making his way over to the kerbside. Still venting, the driver got back in his wagon. The walker turned, mildly asking, “Why are you so angry?” Hearing that question further enflamed the driver who leapt out intent on launching another attack.

Fortunately, he thought better of it, returned to his vehicle, slammed the door and wheelied off up the road with tyres screeching. It was over… but was it? Will the next provocation, end with tragic outcomes?

By Peter Carr

and Taranaki is a heavy traffic-clogging factor at the above-mentioned road junction. They have every right to be there but, as the Ports of Auckland dwindles into politically driven obscurity the amount of shipping freight to and from Tauranga is going to increase markedly.

So where and when will this madness end? NZTA (I decry the Māori-isation of their name) is manned with a large group of very good planners and engineers who build very good roads – witness the beautiful smoothness of the road now by-passing Huntly. Once they put their minds to it and remove senseless negativity - NZTA roll out good contracts and good engineering governance.

While we all decry the never-ending lines of kerbside red cones that appear to be there for ever, the final result is pleasing. Provided they get their contractors locked into good pricing (as witnessed on the road that circuits north of Cambridge) then all flows well.

Sadly, the appalling contractual breakdown and associated 50 per cent increase in costs at the fault-line laden pathway known as Transmission Gully is a sad indictment of the poorer side of roading governance.

And this weekend NZTA are going ahead with formally guaranteeing the road in planning, reserving land required and local government compliance. Great - we are on our way. Do not get excited too soon.

There are at least two national elections to come where that promise can be used as a vote catcher before a cent emerges from the government coffers.

By Murray Smith, Senior Leader, Bridges Church

I wondered what had occurred in this angry driver’s experience of life that propelled him into venting volatile rage so disproportionate to the actual incident.

The pedestrian’s question was pertinent.

“Why are you so angry?”

Violence in our community often flows from simmering, latent anger. Layers of dormant anger from historical issues can ‘crouch at the door’ awaiting something quite trivial to trigger it. A minor irritation can readily fuel an outburst because of accumulated ‘deposits’ of unresolved anger. Small provocations become the ‘tipping point’… it doesn’t take much to tip some people into abusive, violent or aggressive behaviour. If its alcohol fuelled it’s even worse.

Is there help and release from the grip of anger? Definitely. But it must be acknowledged, ‘traced’ and ‘faced’. Where there is effect there is cause. Identifying and dealing with the root causes of anger is an important start.

I’ve found many transformative keys for dealing with anger described in the Bible.

Here’s a few.

“Don’t let the sun go down with you still being angry for anger gives a foothold to evil.”

“Keeping short accounts will minimise anger escalating, building up a rubbish dump inside us.”

“A person without self-control is like a city broken into and left without walls.”

“We’re defenceless if we don’t rule our emotions. Get anger under control, or it controls us.”

“A gentle answer deflects anger, but harsh words make tempers flare.”

Gentleness can be learned. Nobody has to be a slave to rage.

Expressway business case given approval

Waka Kotahi has approved the business case for extending the Waikato Expressway 16km south to Piarere – but the road is unlikely to be built for at least six years.

Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency Board last week endorsed the business case for the $600 million plus project – funding for which was pulled by the Government three years ago.

That earlier funding decision has drawn considerable criticism – but has not prevented the paperwork and acquisition of land for the new road.

Regional Manager System Design Jess Andrew says Waka Kotahi can now progress to protect the preferred route.

That will involve securing the land it will be built on.

An untapped workforce Detour for Tamahere

By Steph Bell-Jenkins

Hiring disabled people can bring huge benefits to businesses and increase bottom line profitability, says Selwyn Cook.

The Tauwhare-based disability employment facilitator says 24 percent of New Zealanders have a disability or long term injury or illness.

“This represents a huge, often untapped, talent pool of potential employees,” he said. “But unless disabled people are intentionally included in employment they will be unintentionally excluded.”

Selwyn is currently working with 20-year-old Cambridge man Michael Dodds, whose search for a hospitality job featured

in last week’s edition of Cambridge News.

Selywn was named Kiwibank New Zealand Local Hero of the Year in 2016 for his work to help disabled people into mainstream employment over a 27-year stint running a large network of Waikato service stations – including Shell and Z Cambridge.

“During that time we employed many disabled people and I began to appreciate that the disability community represented a talent pool and brought real value to our business,” he said.

“They were very stable staff who took no more sick leave than anybody else and were very committed to the roles they had. There were zero performance

Time to talk It angers me to have to admit that so many of us today use the ‘ Nelson’ excuse, “Turn the blind eye”, to what is obvious, making police efforts to control crime a lost cause.

Are we afraid of reprisal if we report suspicious acts, activities or suspect goods for sale at unbelievably low prices? Probably, but if we don’t, we risk being complicit in those crimes.

“But”, say the ‘ crims’, “ they claim it on their insurance”. It has often been said, “Cops couldn’t catch a cold if it wasn’t for informers”, so let’s get ‘grassing’.

management issues that I can remember and we found once they’d been given an opportunity, they were incredibly committed.”

He is now an independent facilitator who supports employers, job-seekers, providers and the disability community to “help close the disability employment gap”.

“My approach is we start with – if not the dream job – the choice of employment of the job seeker and then I work from there,” he said.

“Asking an employer to take someone on because they’re disabled is not the right thing. It’s to consider disabled people because they will bring value to their business.”

If you would like to chat about employing a disabled person, contact Selwyn on 027 480 4569 or email Selwyn@covina.co.nz.

Airport Rd at Tamahere will be reduced to a single lane while work starts on an underpass later this month near Wiremu Tamihana Drive.

The work carried out by Waka Kotahi will result in a detour for weekend traffic heading in the direction of Hamilton airport from the roundabout outside St Stephen’s Church.

From noon on July 9 until 5am July 12 southbound vehicles will be detoured around Tamahere Drive, Day Road and Pencarrow Road.

During that time half the road will be dug up.

Pre-cast concrete underpass sections will be lowered into place then the gap will be backfilled. A second closure is scheduled for the weekend of July 23 to 26

when the remainder of the underpass is built.

The underpass is part of the Cambridge to Hamilton

section of the Te Awa shared path. Both the path and the underpass are expected to be completed later this year.

Streets for People – minus the dots Continued from page 1

Numbers of students not being driven to school had increased by 10 per cent during the trial.

Waipa road corridor manager Bryan Hudson said the trial could be considered a success as it limited traffic and speeds around troubled areas. He said critical spaces that needed to be fixed have been, with Bryce St and Duke St opened back up to two lanes for emergency services.

Mayor Jim Mylchreest said it was a matter of finding a solution that can somewhat benefit

everyone.

“It comes down to that life cycle where we are encouraged to go to school walking or biking and once people get their licence, they want door to door access with a vehicle and then in later life they have to be out walking and biking more,” he said.

“So it’s a matter of finding that right balance.”

Councillors have referred recommendations and amendments to the project to the Service Delivery Committee which is expected to meet later this month.

Oliver is our new movie star Garden fest date is set

By Steph Bell-Jenkins

Nine-year-old Oliver Henwood knows how boring it is to be stuck in a hospital bed after an operation.

So when his Kaipaki School teacher Nicky Pearce asked him to come up with a passion project that would benefit others

Kaipaki School student Oliver Henwood receives a community service award from Julie Millar of the Surgical Research Trust.

in the community, he decided to help children staying in Wellington Hospital, where he had spent many hours.

Originally from New Plymouth, Oliver was born with a bend in his shin bone caused by a growth anomaly. He had major surgery at Wellington Hospital to correct the problem when he was four and has been back many times for ongoing treatment.

He now lives in Cambridge but remains under the care of his Wellington Hospital orthopaedic surgeon.

Watching DVDs had been a great distraction during one eight-day stay recovering from surgery, but the hospital’s movie selection was limited and some discs were scratched and unusable.

“I remembered they didn’t have many DVDs... so I thought it would be good for people to have something to watch to distract them from something bad that’s happened to them, like a bad operation,” Oliver said.

He decided to ask his school community for DVD donations and emailed a contact he had met through his hospital stays, Julie Millar from the Wellington-based Surgical Research Trust, who loved the idea.

Oliver created a flyer, which Kaipaki School office manager Mandy McWha emailed out to families, and more than 150 DVDs flooded in.

At home Oliver and his sister Aimee meticulously checked each disc, weeding out damaged and age-inappropriate titles.

He then boxed up the DVDs, which Julie picked up.

The Surgical Research Trust has since given Oliver a community service award for his efforts.

“We think he’s an amazing wee boy and so generous to think outside the square and consider the bigger picture,” Julie said.

She said hundreds of children were likely to benefit from his kindness.

Oliver’s mother Robyn said her son was “as proud as punch for being able to effect change for something that was important to him”.

Oliver said the project had taught him “if you do something good for other people you always have a good feeling and a good result and you’re so happy about what you’ve done”.

“I felt really happy because I did a great thing and everyone liked it,” he said.

The popular Rotary Cambridge Garden Festival returns in November after taking a Covid-induced hiatus last year.

The Sunday fundraising event will be held on November 21, from 9am through to 4.30pm. Ten of the 11 gardens on show this year are new to the festival, while one was featured at a previous event. They range from small to large gardens and include a lavender farm. Also on offer is a limited ticket special for a ‘Behind the Scenes Tour’ of Amber Garden Centre.

The festival was launched in 2018 as a major Rotary Cambridge fundraiser. The inaugural event in that year raised around $30,000 for three charities. The 2019 event raised over $36,500, and it will be Cambridge charities who again benefit from the 2021 festival, principally Cambridge Lifeskills.

Event organiser, Rotarian Carey Church, said Garden Art would be available for sale at three of the gardens, and there will be plants for sale.

“Our Rotarians will be welcoming visitors and checking their wristbands as they did over the previous two festivals.

We usually have lots of visitors from out of town.”

Tickets for the festival, which include maps directing visitors to the gardens, go on sale on August 13. The cost is $40 a person, with early bird and senior sales at $30 (before the end of September). A limited number of tickets are available for the “Behind the Scenes Tour’ of Amber Garden Centre. Tickets will be available through Tickets for November’s Rotary Garden the website (www.cgf.nz). Festival go on sale in mid-August.

Rates to rise, but waters are muddied

By Blair Voorend

Waipā ratepayers will see a 4.6 per cent increase in their rates when they get their first instalment in the post this month.

Over 10 years, the average rates’ increase will be 2.2 per cent a year to partially fund the $2.2 billion of spending the council has committed to on capital and operating costs.

The rest will come from additional borrowing peaking at $319 million in three years’ time and easing back to $201.9 million in 2031. However, council has some ‘wriggle’ room as it could borrow another $99 million under its quantified limit on debt restrictions.

The district council signed off on Waipā’s Long Term Plan this week and set the rates for the year starting today (July 1).

But the rate setting came with a warning from Mayor Jim Mylchreest.

To remain on track the council would need the right water infrastructure in place to reduce flooding, provide quality drinking water, have access to wastewater services, provide appropriate roads, walkways and cycleways,

plan green spaces and recreation areas for health and social wellbeing and deliver great connections to our neighbouring districts.

Growth is also expected to provide the council with huge challenges.

By 2050, projections are that there will be 18,900 more people in the district with the biggest increase in Cambridge where there will be 12,300 more people in the town, taking it up to 30,300 or 41 per cent of Waipā’s population.

That means there will need to be 212 more houses built in Cambridge every year to ensure those moving to the town have a home.

Te Awamutu and Kihikihi will need an additional 100 houses every year for the 3800 extra people expected to move there.

To cater for the new commercial and industrial businesses expected to set up in Waipā, the council has set aside 253 hectares of land in Hautapu.

Talking to the plan at the council meeting, Mylchreest said he had concerns about the government’s Three Waters Reform Programme.

It is a three-year project to reform local government service deliveries of drinking water, wastewater and stormwater.

The government is moving ahead at pace with the water reform, but it was disappointing Waipā was not given information earlier, he said.

The council had signed a memorandum of understanding to engage with the government. The council would be under pressure to consult with the community, said Mylchreest.

Projects such as Memorial Park in Te Awamutu, the Urban Mobility plan, Pirongia – Ngā Roto – Te Awamutu Cycleway connection and improving Lake Te Kō Utu’s health were all given sign off to proceed this week.

A total of $120,000 has been allocated in Year One for skate parks across the district. The money will be invested in site identification, feasibility, geotechnical advice and concept design. A total of $1.73 million will then be used for the construction and redevelopment of skate parks in year two.

For Kihikihi, $50,000 will be used in Year

Organ Week in Cambridge

By Viv Posselt

‘Music in Sacred Spaces’ artistic director Eon Malan is bringing the first Cambridge Organ Week to St Andrews Church next week.

Two for a feasibility study to develop a community centre in the heart of the town.

The council will also use $50,000 in Year Three for a feasibility study for a new sports centre at the Kihikihi Domain, and $30,000 will go towards developing an overall plan for the Kihikihi Domain in year three.

A total of $40,000 will be provided for administrative resource for the Kihikihi Domain once an agreed plan is in place, but no earlier than by Year Two. A $1,000 grant will also be paid to the Kihikihi Police House Temple Cottage Trust for each year over the next 10 years.

In Cambridge, $25,000 has been allocated for court renewals at the Cambridge Racquet Club in Year One and $25,000 has also been allocated in Year Two to prepare a Leamington Domain plan.

In addition to this, Council has also committed to $600,000 in capital expenditure in year two for sports field development at John Kerkhoff Park, Vogel Street, Cambridge, and $80,000 in maintenance costs per annum from Year Three.

The success of Eon Malan’s monthly concerts at Cambridge’s St Andrews Church has inspired him to bring the region’s first Organ Week here from July 5 to 9.

The event will see well-known organists from around the North Island participate in lunchtime concerts at the church. It is being presented by ‘Music in Sacred Spaces’, a collaborative initiative headed by Eon Malan and aimed at encouraging the use of beautiful venues for musical experiences.

“The format for Cambridge Organ Week is simple,” he said. “A free lunchtime concert is open to the public daily during that week from 12.15pm to 12.45pm where organists will present a range of programmes.”

The week will start on Sunday July 4 at 2pm with a concert at St Peter’s Cathedral in Hamilton when

renowned international concert organist, Wellington’s Paul Rosoman, will present a recital of well-known pieces. It will continue at Cambridge’s St Andrews with performances by Paul Rosoman on July 5, Hamilton’s Eon Malan and Rachael Griffiths-Hughes on July 6 and 7 respectively, a ‘Hymn Singalong’ on July 8, and Karapiro’s Mark Eyre on July 9.

“We are lucky to host Cambridge Organ Week at St Andrews as their refurbished pipe organ is an absolute joy to play,” Eon said.

The South African-born church musician holds a Graduate Diploma in Organ Performance from Stellenbosch University, as well as diplomas in Hymnology and Church Music from the Conservatorium of Church Music in Pretoria.

He has performed internationally, formed ‘Music in Sacred Spaces’ in 2018, and won awards and bursaries, including an exchange study bursary

from the University of North Carolina.

Now in New Zealand, he continues his post-graduate studies and teaches organ, piano and music theory at Cambridge’s St Peter’s School.

He is digital communications director and assistant organist at both St Peter’s Cathedral in Hamilton and St Andrews Church in Cambridge, is accompanist for the Mosaic Choir, and serves on the boards of the Auckland Organ Association and RSCM Waikato branch.

Last September, Eon launched a monthly series of popular free lunchtime organ concerts at St Andrews. “We had about 50 at the start, now there are about 120 each time.

One man flies up from Dunedin every month, another comes from Auckland.

I am very pleasantly surprised.

“We get bigger audiences in Cambridge than we do in Hamilton – that is why it was my first pick for Organ Week.”

Glenn drums home the message

By Mary Anne Gill

Glenn Jackson says the drum therapy groups he runs around the Waikato “from primary schools to Henry Bennett” are making a significant difference in people’s lives, particularly those with disabilities.

But it was in a workplace setting in Waipā last week where the benefits of playing a ‘talking drum’ became obvious to the participants who started the session mutely and finished with great gusto.

Glenn, who lives in Te Awamutu but works around the Waikato region, including at 35 schools, was at Enrich Plus for the disability organisation’s annual health and wellness day.

Enrich Plus staff work alongside individuals to develop their skills and abilities and enhance inclusion in their communities.

General manager David Ireland said the day was critical for his staff to take time out to look after themselves so they can provide quality meaningful and unique support programmes for people of all ages and all disabilities.

Glenn’s Mad Cow Drums programme, using the Kano Learning System he designed, was one of several activities aimed at easing anxiety and promoting relaxation.

Participants sat around a drumming circle and Glenn opened with why drumming was one of the oldest and most effective ways of communicating.

Villages on either side of valleys use drums to communicate, they were used in jungles and on ships, he said.

“Whatever I can say, you can play,” Glenn said illustrating that by coming up with a drum beat to his own name which the group copied.

Glenn sat in front of his first drum kit when he was five years old and was captured by it. But he did not learn how to play them properly until he was 17.

“I had no goals, no vision and playing the drums captivated me.”

Now he teaches drums, guitar and the piano in schools, businesses, disability groups and people with mental health problems and those suffering from stress or anxiety.

Drums release emotions, trauma and negative feelings, he said.

“They’re a great way to communicate ideas,” he says.

Glenn enjoys working with children who have learning disabilities. They are immediately able to make a connection, he says.

Outside of his working life, Glenn loves nothing better than playing live. He is a regular at the Live Bands session from 9pm every Friday at the Redoubt Bar in Te Awamutu.

His favourite drummer is Daniel Carey from the American rock band Tool going as far as naming his son after him.

“I find him magnificent; he applies himself to the art like no other.”

Other favourites are Gregg Bissonette, a studio drummer who was a member of the David Lee Roth band and Clyde Stubblefield, the most recorded drummer ever who died in 2017 but his drum patterns are still heavily used in hip hop music.

Drums are a member of the percussion group of musical instruments.

There are over a hundred different types of drums played by either striking with the hand, sticks or brushes. Their therapeutic use has been well documented.

Support needed for autism groups

A Waikato-Bay of Plenty organisation running groups catering for autistic people aged five to 25 is seeking help and assistance so it can support the groups effectively.

Enrich Plus works alongside those living with disabilities, autism or neurodiversity, their whānau and community so they can live a life like any other. It has bases in Te Awamutu, Hamilton, Tauranga and

Its unique, personalised programmes ensure individuals gain the skills needed to achieve their goals.

Enrich Plus is part of the Enrich Group Charitable Trust, a group of organisations that has common and complementary services.

Chief executive Karen Scott said its Enrich Plus autism group programme has offered small group sessions for several years, starting with one group only for older teens and young adults in 2015 and growing to meet the need.

“They focus on supporting people to grow through personal development, increased independence, positive interaction and enhanced community relationships.

at a shortfall of about $15 per person, per session.

“That is why we are reaching out, looking for support from individuals, and organisations.

“We are seeking help to fund these important groups so they remain at an affordable level for attendees and their families and can continue to operate with small staffing ratios.”

Those on the programme pay $20 a session and Enrich Group funds the rest.

Common challenges for autistics lie in the areas of communicating, social interaction, anxiety, overcoming rigid routines and managing inflexible behaviours.

Enrich Plus service manager Karen Layton, a registered psychologist, says caregivers regularly provide feedback which talks of the laughter they hear during group sessions.

A thumping 61-0 win for Hautapu over Waipā rivals Te Awamutu Sports has set up an enticing clash with fellow competition leader Fraser Tec in Waikato senior rugby.

The battle between the two unbeaten teams in the current round should determine who gets home advantage should they progress to the final.

In the ‘Battle of the Waipa’ on Saturday APL Hautapu Sports faced a re-invigorated Te Awamutu Sports side who travelled to Memorial Park hoping to upset or at least run the locals close and gain vital bonus points to hold their position in the Top four.

In the end it was neither, as APL Hautapu showed ruthless efficiency to take their opposition apart and lead by 40 – 0 at halftime, effectively game over.

To Te Awamutu’s credit, they came into the second half in determined fashion and spent periods on attack but were still unable to breach and equally determined Hautapu defence.

Just when the second half scoreline was looking more respectable for the visitors Hautapu once again

showed their class as playing through Champions, scoring three converted tries to finish the game with a win by 61 – 0.

First five Coby Miln was again impressive, helping himself to 26 points with two tries and eight conversions – many from difficult field positions.

Prop Eli Waetford was impressive in his first run on start, and half back Daniel James was outstanding in his 50th club appearance.

Winger Josh Gascoigne scored three tries and other try-scorers were Nico Aandewiel, David Morris, Mosese Dawai, and Tom Florence.

It was a fitting result for Hautapu who were playing this game in front of their large junior rugby contingent, having their moment on the main ground as the curtain-raiser.

Hautapu won the reserves clash between the clubs 17-14. After a patchy start which saw the experienced visitors score, Hautapu gathered themselves and stayed in touch in what proved to be an even match.

The point of difference came midway

through the second half with a cracking try scored by fullback Bodie Mechell, enjoying his best performance to date for the team.

Hautapu Colts was beaten in what was effectively a dead rubber game, 30-28 by Hamilton Boys High.

Skipper Mitch Jacobsen led Hautapu out – with the club’s juniors alongside.

Home semi is secured

Leamington bagged five first half tries on their way to a 40-0 win over Pirongia in the Championship.

final in the competition against university on July 10.

Try scorers were Jonah Haycock, Jarrod Davey, Aaron Vercoe, Matt Lyttle, James Fraser, and Josh Pakai. Keegan Dickey kicked five conversions.

Leamington’s Waipa Civil Senior B team also secured a home semi-final, beating Pirongia 29-0.

Southern United are the next Championship opponents.

Leamington’s colts staged a great comeback last weekend to beat Old Boys 36-24 after trailing 19-7 at the break and the Carrick Finance Under 85Kg were beaten away to Old Boys 24-7.

Reds set the league alight

Cambridge have become the unpredictable entertainers of football’s northern regional league with a series of high-scoring but nerve wracking games.

Only once this season – back in early April – have the Reds played in a match with fewer than three goals and they are building a reputation for salvaging results in desperate situations.

Last weekend, the side blew a two-goal lead against Auckland side Oratia United before storming back to win 3-2 at John Kerkhof Park.

This followed their previous match when they came from two down to beat Beachlands Maraetai 5-2.

The wins have propelled Cambridge into fifth place on the Lotto NRFL second division table.

Against Oratia, Cambridge took the lead after 11 minutes through Josh Nooijen.

Eight minutes later, midfielder Marc Glenister doubled the Reds’ lead.

Oratia struck back with a quick double from Andy Kapteyn and the sides went into half-time at 2-2.

Cambridge came out firing in the second half and took the lead after 52 minutes when wing back Jasom Khatkar stole the ball from two Oratia defenders.

He spun into the box and set up the perfect ball for Nooijen to crash home what turned out to be the matchwinner.

The next four fixtures for the

Reds goalkeeper Fraser Nicholls thwarts an Oratia attack with support from Jasom Khatkar (left) and Kieran Hill.

Reds are all against sides beneath them on the table, providing an opportunity to build a run of form.

The first of those is on Saturday when Cambridge travel to Greenhithe Catimba in Auckland.

In last Saturday’s early game, Cambridge’s U-23s beat Oratia 1-0.

The crucial goal came in the 48th minute from 17-year-old Matt Kozak, his first goal in senior club football.

The win was a welcome reward for the young Cambridge team who have played some excellent

football in recent games for little return. They produced their first clean sheet of the season and it was the first time this year the first team and U-23s had won both legs of their double header fixture.

In the WaiBOP Championship, league leaders Cambridge needed a late goal from Tom Woutersen to overcome a spirited Hamilton Wanderers at John Kerkhof Park.

Despite creating most of the chances, Cambridge could not find a way through until they were awarded a direct free kick on the

edge of the Wanderers area with only two minutes left.

Woutersen struck the ball cleanly through a wall of defenders to land his 10th goal of the season and ensure Cambridge stayed top of the regional competition.

Six of Cambridge’s nearest rivals all dropped league points, giving the club a clear two-point lead in the title race.

Cambridge’s women’s team kept up their 100% winning record with a 9-0 win at Northern United.

Highlights were two hat-tricks

DRAIN UNBLOCKING

and the team’s fourth clean sheet in a row – in fact, the side has not conceded a goal for almost seven hours.

Goalscorers were Olivia Milne (3), Emma Barrott (3), Mariela Robledo, Steph Upton and Melissa Kemp. Player of the Day was Barrott.

In Waikato men’s Division 1, Cambridge lost 5-1 to competition leaders Claudelands Rovers.

Scorer for Cambridge was Dylan Blair.

In Waikato Division 4, Cambridge maintained their push for the title with a 3-0 home win against Claudelands Rovers.

Their goals came from Andrew Myers, Chris Hill and Yash Niewiadomski.

The club’s two over 35s men’s teams battled out a 1-1 draw to keep both sides mid-table. The D1 team scored through Marcelo Stiaque while the equalising goal was an own goal.

In the WaiBOP Y-Leagues, Cambridge U-15 lost 4-1 to competition leaders Rotorua United. Scorer was Wills Leyland.

Cambridge U-13 stay top of their competition after drawing 4-4 with third-placed Hamilton Wanderers.

Cambridge U-12 drew 3-3 with Hamilton Wanderers.

Scorers were Kingston Storey and Connor Savage (2). Cowinners of the Player of the Day award were goalkeeper Toby Malligan and central midfielder Joseph Campbell.

I’ve enjoyed rugby since my late teens, when I joined a team in a new city where I didn’t know many people, and played for about 10 years until persistent shoulder injuries told me it was time to do something else.

Later on as a Dad, while my boys played through the rugby grades, my job was too demanding and too far away in travel time to get back for practices. The coaching and managing was done by others, and I felt I wasn’t contributing. I made a commitment to myself that, when the boys had finished with their rugby, I would give something back to the game by picking up the whistle.

Last year that time arrived and, in that Covid interrupted season, I put my hand up and by hook and by crook found myself refereeing in the Cambridge subunion with the support of a great bunch

of guys who are always there with constructive advice.

There is so much more to refereeing than meets the eye; not just the rules, but even more so the game management of the players and their supporting casts.

Putting it all together while looking in five directions at once is not as easy as it might appear! There’s no doubt I have a lot to learn, and have had ups and downs to be sure, but I am really enjoying it overall.

When a game goes well it’s a great feeling, and it’s good to be giving back to the rugby community.

I cannot recommend the Cambridge Rugby Referees highly enough for their character and supportiveness. If you’ve ever thought about giving refereeing a go, don’t hesitate. You’ll be glad you did.

Competitive races were hotly contested, with more than one coming down to a sprint finish. Team relays followed.

Runners did a lap of the Cambridge Athletic and Harrier Club grounds in Vogel St and returned for a final circuit after running around John Kerkhof Park, crossing a muddy ditch and leaping many obstacles along the way.
