Get them to the church on time...

By Mary Anne Gill

Cambridge’s Catholic community has started an ambitious $4 million campaign to build a new church and they’ve got the right man for the job - he’s done it all before.

St Peter’s Church, on the corner of Anzac and Alpha streets, has been assessed as earthquake prone and needs thousands of dollars to strengthen it.

Parish priest Father Leonard Danvers said the brick church had been altered and enlarged over the years since it was built in 1926 - in 1959, 1980 and in 1988 when a parish meeting room was opened.

After polling parishioners, it was decided to build a new church and knock down the presbytery, built next door in 1915, to make two new buildings.

St Peter was crucified upside down because he felt unworthy to die in the same manner as Jesus Christ.

Fr Danvers was parish priest in Mount Maunganui in 1986 when two Catholic churches were sold to make way for the new St Thomas More church.

That was a controversial move but once opened, parishioners embraced it, he said.

But he vowed never again until six years ago when he moved north from Taupō to become parish priest in Cambridge.

Parishioners had known for some time they would have to do something about St Peter’s Church but very little had been done.

Fr Danvers said they had no choice; the church does not meet today’s safety standards.

There are some in the church who do not agree with the decision.

The News has been approached saying it is a waste of money, that it is only the tiled roof that needs strengthening and that the original brick structure is rock solid.

Fr Danvers said he understands their views because $4 million is a lot of money and there is an emotional attachment to the old church for many of them. The appeal has already seen nearly $350,000 raised.

The hope is to have a new church and presbytery built by 2026 when the present church turns 100.

Leading architect Antanas Procuta of Cambridge, said the new church would be brought as close to the intersection as feasible, to better relate to Cambridge’s town centre.

In the new plans, the entry is now immediately visible and invites people onto the site and into the church.

The porte cochere (covered entrance) provides shelter, and with the use of

the warm timber lining and the angled brick wall, it gently guides people to the entrance doors of the narthex (long, narrow porch or lobby).

“The building not only stands in homage to the parish’s patron saint, but also to the original church through the reuse of materials. The old terracotta roof tiles are stacked to create a rich textural backdrop to the cross.”

Procuta and Paua have won several architecture awards including two in Hamilton, for the Cathedral of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the other for The Chapel of St Mary’s Convent.

Cambridge’s Catholic history goes back to the 1860s when Bishop Pompallier, the first Catholic Bishop in New Zealand, was Bishop of Auckland and the congregation gathered where they could pray and celebrate.

When Thomas Croke took over as Bishop in1870, he wasted no time in acquiring a parcel of elevated land above the town in what is now Anzac Street. It boasted a dilapidated structure, once a post office, that became the first chapel in 1877. It was a wooden building 15.24m x 7.62m (50 feet x 25 feet) and surrounded by a white wooden picket fence to keep out wandering stock.

Nearly 40 years later the borer-riddled building was replaced by the brick structure in place today.

Kahikatea trees on Anzac St will remain. During demolition and the rebuild, Catholic services would be held in the St Peter’s Community Hall across the road at St Peter’s Catholic School.

You are capable guardians It was great to meet everyone at the Maungatautari Rural Crime Prevention meeting last Friday. I appreciate that you made the time to come out and chat. I hope that those who attended will go forth and share the learnings with those who missed out. I am keen to keep the communication going and will be looking to do more meetings in our community in the future.

Reporting suspicious behaviour to Police was one topic discussed at Maungatautari. If you see someone behaving in an odd way for the situation, for example appearing to case out a property or trying to break in to a car or address (for example trying door handles or smashing windows) call 111 immediately.

I saw a comment on Facebook last week saying that Police cannot be on every corner of every street. This is very true. What we can have however is a community that is alert to activity in the neighbourhood and is willing to make a call straight away to Police

when something isn’t right. We are all each other’s ‘capable guardians’, holding a shared responsibility for our community safety.

Last Sunday night a Cambridge business was again the target of ram raid offenders. A member of the public noticed what was going on and called Police.

This is the second time recently that a member of the public has been first on scene informing Police of a retail burglary in progress. I cannot thank everyone enough for being alert to suspicious behaviour, acting promptly and providing excellent first-hand information describing vehicles and offenders involved. When we all work together in this way, the chances of apprehending the culprits increases.

On another topic, I recently observed a (petrol) motorised mountain bike being ridden in a park. I thought it was time to clarify the rules around such bikes and scooters in general. This particular mountain

bike had been fitted with a 49cc petrol engine. The young rider believed that being 49cc meant it was legal for him to ride. Under 50cc, a person with a standard car licence may ride a scooter (which the motorised mountain bike had effectively become) without requiring a motorcycle licence. Over 50cc, a current motorcycle licence is required.

Being a youth who was below the legal age at which he could obtain a driver’s licence, it was therefore illegal for him to ride the motorised mountain bike other than on his private property. With regard to riding in the park, no one may ride a scooter on any public reserve or pavement due to the risk to the public, of causing annoyance and damaging turf. In all cases a helmet must be worn.

Have a good week and report anything suspicious that you see.

Chamber, council pushes growth

By Mary Anne Gill

There are no winners among the parties involved in the recently declined Resource Management Act application to build a 40ha subdivision in Cambridge’s western outskirts, says the town’s Chamber of Commerce.

Chamber chair Tania Witheford, in a statement to The News, has called for the community to show resilience and a growth mindset to ensure the best investments and decisions are made for Cambridge.

She was responding to last week’s announcement independent commissioners had declined a developer’s plan to subdivide four existing lots on Cambridge

Road into 246 residential lots, a retirement village, commercial centre, two super lots for residential and high-density residential development, a school, roads and reserves.

It appears all may not be lost though as Waipā District Council revealed the subdivision, in the C2 growth cell, is “high-priority” as is discussion with other developers in identified urban growth cells around Cambridge.

Developer 3Ms of Cambridge did not respond to a request to add to its statement made last week when director Matt Smith said they were reviewing the decision and considering all its options.

The deadline to appeal the

decision is July 27.

Witheford did not hold back though saying the region is feeling the impact of heightened demand.

“This situation highlights the changing needs of our community.

The ability to respond and have a solutions-based approach, even within the confines of policy and legislation.”

The new school within the subdivision was a critical need, she said.

“Growth and change can be difficult and sometimes painful, and each has a different meaning or impact.

And as a region we are not immune.”

Cambridge, Waipā and the greater Waikato were facing times of “exponential growth” and great success,

she said “This success has brought growth, and with it, a whole new set of challenges. How we respond will impact the future of our community.”

Wayne Allan, Waipā group manager of District Growth and Regulatory, said the council had actively promoted the development and even brought forward Annual Plan funding of $40 million to enable the construction of the infrastructure.

As part of the process, the council obtained a consent from the Waikato Regional Council to discharge treated stormwater from the growth cell into the Waikato River.

It also worked closely with the Ministry of Education with regards to the location and regulatory approvals

Tania Witheford

needed to provide for a primary school in the growth cell.

“Council will continue to show leadership and work with all landowners and developers in (the) C2 growth cell to get urban development underway,” said Allan.

We’re still flush here, Mike!

By Mary Anne Gill

Business leaders were unimpressed to hear a national breakfast radio announcer tell listeners people could no longer spend a penny in Cambridge.

Presenter Mike Hosking was caught short when a listener sent in a message to NewstalkZB’s Wrapping the Week saying the chain had been pulled on the town’s famous public convenience – dubbed the Superloo when it opened nearly 30 years ago.

Having heard the fictitious report, business leaders rolled up to wipe away the potty suggestion.

After Hosking had powdered his nose he duly re-engaged and issued a correction from his seat in Auckland.

Hosking had told wife Kate Hawkesby and presenter Tim Wilson the last time he had used a public toilet was in Cambridge on a campervan trip with their children and they stopped in the town where they willingly queued up to spend a penny, literally.

“It’s one of the great public toilets of the world and you pay, you pay because you pay money it’s absolutely superb, it’s beautiful,” said Hosking.

Then minutes later Hosking reported he had received a txt saying the toilets were now closed.

“Bad news. Sad news, they’ve closed the toilets at Cambridge.

What you had was one of the great public facilities in the country and it’s clearly gone pear-shaped. People will have been travelling south and north towards that only to arrive in Cambridge and go ‘it’s not there anymore’.”

The Waipā District Council public toilets stopped being a

pay-for-use facility in 2016 when numbers dropped after the Waikato Expressway opening.

But regular cleaning maintenance still takes place and access to the showers is through the iSite across the road.

Waipā communications staff contacted the Newstalk ZB newsroom to correct the error and set the story straight.

Cambridge Chamber of Commerce chief executive Kelly Bouzaid said she was relieved.

“Given it is the start of school holidays we certainly don’t want this message out there potentially diverting traffic visitation during this time.”

The Cambridge News hasn’t been able to flush out the source of the bogus report.

Still super – Cambridge’s famous loos remain open for business.

THE AGE OF REASON

FAITH IN WAIPĀ

Minding our language

The problem with ‘hate speech’

From time to time most people reflect on what is around them and how their surroundings affect their daily lives.

Surroundings may include one’s home, village, weather, personal relationships and often matters upon which one has no control.

A not often recognised pressure point is language. Or rather the degree to which one’s common language is usurped to a factor that it becomes annoying. Not of and in itself but when it causes you to pause and have to think – ‘just what did he say?’

Clearly a foreigners attempt to speak in one’s own language is not only to be commended but needs care and respect as to how the uttered words are translated internally in one’s mind. But when the speaker is a local – as in being a national of the country in which one resides – then the difficulty often turns into aggravation.

I guess that some of this harks back to the horrifyingly percentage of young – and not so young – people who cannot read effectively. I recall helping a far-seeing Cambridge lady to launch a particularly good initiative, driven initially by one of her children who was experiencing reading difficulties. It caused her to believe the New Zealand reading curriculum was not concentrating enough on the sound of words. Or phonics to give it a correct name.

At that time – and remember this was a dozen years or more ago – there was an estimated 110 pupils at Cambridge High School with difficulty in the learning experience about reading. The local designer of the new phonics opportunity attempted to help the school to use her method but, sadly, they did not have sufficient budget capacity to engage a teacher (even part time) to promote the ideal. So several of us got

Last weekend I heard my wife bollocking our teenage son for his untidy room.

At the heart of the problem lay a seemingly insurmountable difficulty.

They both hold seriously divergent opinions on what a tidy room actually is. Any discussion on the subject is quite ‘animated’ since he feels that a bursting wardrobe spewing forth its contents upon being opened, constitutes a tidy room ‘cos everything has been put away.’

Because the balance of power is held by my wife, we have a teenage son who claims it is ‘hate speech’ to be called out (unfairly) for having an untidy room.

I’m being a bit frivolous in my description of our minor domestic incident but nonetheless it caused me to reflect again on a confusing strategy that the government is busily promoting. Any idea of controlling a nation’s perspectives and opinions by legislating ‘hate speech’ laws under the Crimes Act should justifiably raise the public’s eyebrows.

Unlike a caring, responsible parent training a child, a government is overstepping the mark when it legislates an authorised or ‘approved viewpoint’ on matters of religion, sexual orientation, politics, age, disability and employment status leaving no room for freedom of speech.

Of course, freedom of speech is never a free pass to abuse, belittle or intimidate anyone on the basis of their opinions. Judgmental bigotry ought to be considered intolerable. But using hate speech law to suppress freedom of speech and muzzle reasonable comment or debate over divergent viewpoints and understandings, is control. The key to deterring hate speech is open dialogue that promotes understanding -not suppression.

A problem exists with hate speech being defined in such vague terms. The Minister of

By Peter Carr

behind the initiative and raised (by various means and in swift order) $10,000 to support the school.

At that time, it was also apparent that the nearest prison had an enormous percentage of incarcerated people with reading difficulties and an attempt was made to assist the staff there by offering the clearly successful phonics system.

However, the great government bureaucratic clobbering machine came into being and the initiative was doomed when we were told to ‘discuss it with Wellington’.

Sadly, dialect too starts to make the purity of reading and speech somewhat difficult.

The Kiwi way of turning statements into the interrogative by raising the voice cadence at the end of a sentence forms part of that.

Teachers are frustrated when their students insist on using the word ‘youse?’ And how can they drive such idiolect out of the minds of the utterers?

Which leads to the construction of sentences. Having attended what would now be regarded as an ‘old school I was driven to the point of very sore fingers when the English master’s ruler would descend swiftly for the mortal sin of finishing a sentence with a preposition. Listen to some of our news readers – and especially talkback hosts – who, according to my alma mater’s rules, should be taken off the air.

As that superb orator Winston Churchill so eloquently put it – ‘this is the type of arrant pedantry up with which I will not put’. So just how sinful is it to change the structure of speech / writing to reflect an easier approach to being understood? I imagine the retired teachers in my village will be hounding me this week.

By Murray Smith, Senior Leader, Bridges Church

Justice’s recent performance was decidedly unhelpful.

Under questioning about the scope and implications of the law changes, he appeared completely without answers when plied with reasonable questions regarding potential real-life situations. The public push back isn’t surprising given the potential reach of hate speech laws and the uncertainty of who will yet be determined to be in need of ‘protection’ against prospective ‘haters’ comments.

Someone’s comments are not even necessarily the problem… rather the problem can arise in the way a comment is received - then reacted to. A person expressing a viewpoint may not have had any purposeful intent to offend, but just by someone claiming, “I’m really offended!” a charge of hate speech could be asserted.

You could say Jesus experienced hate speech from the hierarchy of His day. Petty opponents angrily criticised Jesus because His followers didn’t observe ceremonial hand-washing before eating. Those accusers became deeply offended when Jesus responded, highlighting their own far greater hypocritical failures to adhere to the laws they claimed to live by…like plundering the poor, arrogantly ignoring truth and justice issues. Their deep offence incubated hatred was so intense that it resuled in them crucifying Him - the ultimate failed attempt at suppression!

This quote I heard recently sums things up.

“Suppressing free speech is the intellectually impoverished and infantile response of those who have no better argument.”

By the way, my wife and our teenage son are perfectly fine!

A fundraising star

School assault probed

By Steph Bell-Jenkins

After beating the odds herself, Emmeline Lattin has raised $870 for Starship Children’s Hospital to help other New Zealand children get vital medical treatment.

Emmeline, 13, has had ongoing care at Starship since a life-threatening tumour was discovered in her knee when she was seven years old.

“This particular type of tumour doesn’t usually metastasise, but hers did,” her mother Rhiannon said.

“They found it in a lymph node in her groin, which meant she had to have abdominal surgery and multiple surgeries on her knee.”

Emmeline spent about two months at the Auckland hospital and is now awaiting further surgery to lengthen her leg.

“The tumour was attached to the growth plates and ligaments in her knee, so they had to do a very extensive and very unusual reconstruction and now they need to lengthen her tibia,” Rhiannon said.

“The predicted success rate was for limited movement but she just defied all expectations. She’s done amazingly well and has recovered to the point where she’s even back playing sport.”

So when Emmeline heard Starship had launched a fundraising campaign to expand its Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), she wanted to help.

“There are 1.5 million children in New Zealand, with Starship being the only dedicated children’s hospital in New Zealand, and at the moment they

only have 22 beds in the PICU area,” she said.

An innovation challenge at Cambridge Middle School, where she is in year 8, gave her the chance.

She developed a slideshow for her teacher, pitching various fundraising ideas, and eventually met with principal Daryl Gibbs.

“Together we came up with the idea of Onesie Wednesday, where you could wear your onesie to school for a gold coin donation,” she said.

Emmeline promoted the day on Facebook and was blown away by the support she received from students and staff, who gave nearly $900.

“I felt really proud of actually doing something for Starship, given that they’ve done lots for me in the past few years,” she said.

“I think it’s a really, really nice place and the kids that get sick yes, that’s unlucky, but they’re lucky to be able to go to a nice hospital where all the nurses are really nice to them and treat

them well.”

Teacher Jacira de Hoog said Emmeline had demonstrated her school’s HERO values – happiness, excellence, relationships and opportunities.

“This is exactly what we like to see at our school where students take the initiative and tirelessly work for the benefit of others,” she said.

Donations to Starship Children’s Hospital can be made at www. starshipicu.org.nz.

A secondary school student was seriously injured in a violent incident at a Waikato school last week, police have confirmed.

But The News cannot identify the Waikato school concerned and police say they can provide no further information beyond the fact they were alerted to the incident at 4pm on June 29.

It is believed the incident happened about an hour earlier.

“The matter is currently under investigation and may go through a Youth Court process.

Therefore, Police will not be providing any further comment at this stage,” a spokesperson said.

The News understands the youth was seriously injured and was unconscious at the end of the incident.

It is also understood the incident was related to bullying claims and that it was recorded on a digital device.

Project fosters generosity Matariki part of the culture

By Steph Bell-Jenkins

After meeting Kids in Need Waikato co-founder Linda Roil and collecting for her charity this term, Aidan Tidd and Ella Millar have a new appreciation for the struggles many foster children face.

“They could be kids whose parents are abusive to them, or they’ve been kicked out because of drug use, or their parents aren’t in a good state to stay with them all the time...and when they’re being taken to their new home they go with literally nothing,” said Aidan, 12.

“Some of these kids have had no birthday presents, no Christmas presents, nothing. So don’t take your stuff for granted. Think about the other kids. Think about how they feel.”

Kids in Need Waikato is a Cambridge-based charity founded

by Graeme and Linda Roil that provides care packs for children in care, personalised to meet each child’s needs.

Aidan and Ella, who are in the same year 8 class at Cambridge Middle School, independently came up with the idea of colleting items for the organisation after they were challenged to create an innovation project to work on throughout term 2.

When they found out they had the same brainwave they decided to team up to “make a bigger impact”.

They made posters, visited

every classroom in the school and took their campaign to the wider community through Facebook.

They also invited Linda Roil to school to talk to their syndicate, which Aidan felt had “brought more kindness into the school”.

Last week their classroom became a collection point for donated clothes, shoes, toys, books and school bags, and personal care products such as toothbrushes, toothpaste and soap.

Items flooded in, filling more than 20 supermarket shopping bags.

“We’ve had a lot of support from everyone; it’s just overwhelming

how much we’ve collected and how much people care for those kids,” Aidan said.

Ella said one parent alone had brought in 5-8 bags of clothes, toys and bathroom products, and a teacher had donated a baby change table.

“It’s crazy how much people care and how much one person can do to help charity and people in need,” she said.

Aidan and Ella’s teacher, Jacira de Hoog, said the students had worked hard to improve an aspect of their community and had set themselves apart with their selfless actions.

Cambridge Middle School students Ella Millar and Aidan Tidd have collected bagfuls of goodies for Kids in Need Waikato.

Matariki will not become an official national public holiday until June 24 next year, but for Cambridge High School, attempts to entrench the event in the school’s future culture have already begun.

Last Friday the school hosted an inaugural community celebration of the holiday, as the culmination of Te Wiki O Te Ao Māori—an annual week-long celebration of Māori culture.

Te Wiki O Te Ao Māori saw the school’s inter-house Kī-o-rahi competition on Thursday, as well as student-led games of Ariki and a Māori quiz earlier in the week.

“This is the first year we have put this on,” said Maanvi Naicker, a year 13 student and member of Te Hunga Tai Kākā on the Matariki

evening celebration.

But it won’t be the last. “A lot of people want this to be something that does continue on,” Naicker said.

For the students, Matariki becoming a more prominent part of school culture is both exciting and long overdue.

“It’s the first ever Tikanga Māori holiday!” exclaimed Mya Tohia, a year 12 student. “This is something we’ve wanted for so long.”

Emma Birch, who, along with Naicker, was the organising force behind the celebration, said “being bicultural is still something [Cambridge is] growing to embrace—so this is part of the process.”

For Naicker, Matariki is about “bringing people together, and taking that time to be in the moment.”

Knitters boost cover up

By Viv Posselt

Operation Cover-Up (OCU) knitting enthusiasts who haven’t been able to make the daytime ‘knit ‘n natter’ sessions due to other commitments now have an evening session available to them.

Local OCU organisers Pat and Dennys Smith and their daughter Donna Dillon decided to trial an evening group earlier this month. Donna was alerted to the need through a social media request on whether there were any evening knitting groups in Cambridge.

“Several other people commented on it and said they would be interested if one was to start up,” she said.

“So, I put up a post to see what sort of support there would be and got 10 replies back quite quickly. So far, it’s going really well.”

The group meets from 7pm to 8.30pm each first and third Tuesdays of the month at the Cambridge Brass Band Hall in Vogel St. The building shares a driveway with the Lions Shed. The next session is on Thursday July 15.

Their daytime sessions are held at the Baptist Church Hall, from about 1pm

on the first and third Thursday of the month.

Operation Cover Up celebrated its 20th New Zealand anniversary last year, and its 19th in Cambridge. The initiative began in 2000 when Taupo’s Liz Clarke and her friend Stella Halstead put out the call for knitters to make knitted blankets and clothes to help children in Moldovan orphanages get through their cold Eastern European winters. The movement spread around the country - Isobel Middlemiss started a group in Cambridge a year later.

Hundreds of thousands of blankets and other items have been sent to orphanages and other needy families across Eastern Europe during the two decades. Last year, the Cambridge group sent away some 450 items made or donated by members.

This year, many of their knitted blankets and clothing items will once again go on display before being packed up and sent overseas. It will be from 10am and 2pm on Thursday August 5 at the Baptist Church. The $5 entry includes tea.

Those keen on joining the new evening group are welcome to just drop by.

NO PLANET B

On the right track

By Peter Matthews

We boarded the train en famille at Frankton last Saturday morning at the start of our ‘winter break’, all six of us frantically recording every moment for the family social media groups. It’s a commentary on the times when the best view you get of a scene is when you watch it back on video.

The train pulled out of Frankton and the rail yards and suburbs gradually gave way to farmland, which turned slowly from dairy to forestry. For a while I put on the supplied headphones and listened to the commentary which was very interesting. I learned of the rich, albeit short, history of the logging industry in the King Country and Central North Island, of some of the characters and challenges involved in building the railways and transport links with which to remove from the forests the trees, each of which had been growing there for hundreds of years.

It was necessary to cut down the trees so that houses could be built for the people who flocked to the area to cut down the trees.

Perhaps that was a cheap point - but a point nonetheless; it can only be seen as a shame for our culture and our country that the native forests of this land were so brutally and suddenly plundered. Yes, of course I am judging the actions of our forebears in the light of modern values and understanding. And no, of course they could not have been expected to do anything differently - that was what you did; you cleared the forest, built houses with the wood, and farmed the empty land to feed

the people living in the houses. And fair enough it was too. It still seems a bit sad to journey through the relatively (in the big picture) recently cleared landscape and through the remaining areas of native forest which are indeed majestic and beautiful.

Shortly before we arrived at our destination of Ohakune, a very cheerful man came through the carriage collecting all our rubbish - and there was a lot of it. The cafe car of the train dispenses a huge amount of single use materials, all of which were now being swept into a black bin liner and whisked out of sight. This has been niggling ever since, especially since the Kiwi Rail Journeys website talks about sustainability and the benefits to the environment of travelling by train.

So, this morning I rang Kiwi Rail and asked them what becomes of the bin liners full of rubbish at the journey’s end. I was surprised and delighted to hear that I am nowhere near the first person to call with the very same question, and that the rubbish is sorted and recycled at the station. They just don’t do it on the train because there isn’t enough space - and they are actively working with their suppliers to increase the amount of recycling which can be done and improve the way in which it is done. Full marks to Kiwi Rail.

Signage

My concerns regarding the signage at the entrances to Cambridge were unfortunately asking to close the stable door after the horse had bolted. I discovered this after driving out of town today. Were we, the ratepaying citizens of Cambridge given the opportunity to debate this decision? If so, I am afraid I missed it.

I.S. Thomas Cambridge.

In defence of Planet A

We are pleased that A.Oakley (Letters July 8) sleeps well at night knowing that s/he is correct, and hundreds if not thousands of world climate scientists are wrong about the projected increase of CO2 in our planet’s atmosphere and consequent climate changes.

No doubt A.Oakley will pass on a Covid vaccination despite epidemiologists and health scientists around the world recommending vaccination as essential to controlling the ongoing pandemic.

Clearing the air

Killer smogs of London’s winters were eliminated almost overnight with the Clean Air Act of 1959. London had a horizon for the first time in nearly 200 years.

Are we supposed to think that if we reduce our emissions tomorrow it will miraculously reverse Climate Change overnight?

Our atmosphere which Newton correctly deduced acted like a greenhouse, regulated our temperature and protected us and did so before the gasses which composed it were identified.

It’s a fact that most of the gasses, particularly water vapour, CO2 and Carbon particulates would be unable to attain the altitude and to remain there to become Green-house gasses by normal natural means. A United Kingdom Royal Commissioned Study at York University, Ontario, Canada, called aviation, “the most polluting form of transport on earth”.

Emissions created by aircraft flying in the upper troposphere, (10,000 to 13,000 metres ASL) linger about 100 times longer than at lower altitudes, compounding the build-up of green-house gasses. I t has been suggested that their levels have doubled in the last two decades. Under the Kyoto Protocol, International Aviation was exempt, until 2012.

America withdrew from the Paris Climate Accord to protect its financial interests. The western world won’t be very eager to give up its God Given right to unlimited Air Travel until the beautiful beaches and islands that we fly to enjoy have been inundated.

Do we think, “we only have one national carrier, so we can’t make a difference?” How many International Airports do we have and how many foreign ‘carriers’?

Club donation protects pets

By Viv Posselt

An organisation set up to help animals caught up in domestic abuse is grateful to the Cambridge Rotary Club for the money it has raised in April in support of their venture.

The club donated $18,000 from the $30,000 raised at its annual Charity Dinner towards its main 2021 beneficiary, the Pet Refuge New Zealand Charitable Trust. The rest of the funds were distributed within the community.

Bev Maul-Rogers, who was then president of Cambridge Rotary, said most of the money had come in through the auction held on the evening.

“It was wonderful to be able to help them spread the word about what they are doing,” she said.

The Pet Refuge New Zealand Charitable Trust is building a pet refuge shelter outside Auckland to offer free temporary accommodation for pets belonging to victims of domestic abuse.

Statistics show that around 53 percent of women delay leaving an abusive relationship for fear of what might happen to their pets.

Some 23 percent of abuse victims report having had an animal killed by their partner. Most commonly impacted are dogs, followed by cats and then cows.

Animals will be transported from around the country to the shelter, where they will be assessed by veterinarians and kept safe while their owners escape their abusive environment.

Larger animals at risk will be taken to a network of ‘foster’ properties around the country – many Waikato landowners

are among those offering their properties as temporary safe spaces.

The service’s annual running costs are expected to be between $1.2 and $1.3 million. Pet Refuge founder Julie Chapman expressed her appreciation for the amount raised.

The Trust’s Annie Kane said the amount was well above what they had expected, and they were very grateful.

“We are putting the final touches on the project … the shelter doors will be open soon.”

The Charity Dinner and the Rotary Bookarama make up the two main fundraisers held annually by Cambridge Rotary. The two previous dinners have raised funds that have supported the Paralympics and Riding for the

Disabled.

“This was our biggest dinner … people came from further afield,” said Rotarian David Partis. “We had John Price in as auctioneer and Kiwi driving legend Greg Murphy gave his time for free as guest speaker and offered two ‘hot lap experiences’ at Hampton Downs. Most Rotarians put a bottle of wine into the auction – we made up packs of six bottles each.”

Fellow Rotarian Laurie Graham said he learned about Pet Refuge through his daughter, who works for one of their major sponsors. “This time, the support for Pet Refuge was fantastic.

We are always open to suggestions from the community as to who benefits from these events.”

Rotary’s “Urban Miners” programme has launched an initiative to collect and recycle some of the 55 million household batteries purchased annually in New Zealand.

Cambridge Rotary spokesperson Kim Pritchard said the club is selling stickers which can be placed on containers.

When the containers are full of batteries, they can be taken to one of the club’s regular E-Waste collection venues.

“Data from Statistics New Zealand says we New Zealanders purchase some 55 million batteries per year.

However, only around 0.2% of these household batteries are ever recovered and re-processed. In Cambridge alone, it is estimated residents consume up to 20 tonnes of batteries per year,” he said.

He said overseas experience showed that for household battery collection to be successful, it needed to be made as convenient as possible.

“The Urban Miners are encouraging households to use a 1 litre empty milk bottle to collect and dispose of their batteries. Labels are available from the Urban Miners for $10 to stick on the milk bottle, and once the bottle is full of batteries, just return it to the Urban Miners and the batteries

will be sent for recycling and materials recovery - at no additional charge. Full milk bottles can be returned to the Urban Miners at one of their monthly E-Waste collections at Cambridge High School, or simply call them to make other arrangements.”

The Urban Miners also have a $5 label for smaller containers.

Rotary Cambridge Urban Miners is a non-profit, community service, created to collect, responsibly recycle, reuse, and divert E-Waste from landfills.

Monthly collections are held on the third Sunday of every month at Cambridge High School from 9am to 11am. Further information is available Kiwis go through 55 on Urban Miners Facebook page. million batteries a year.

Gwynne Shield: making progress

By Blair Voorend

Cambridge had a tough start to the Gwynne Shield competition losing their first three games but celebrated a win on Tuesday.

Coach Ray Stowe said that it was good to see the team progressing and getting the win to show for it.

The News camera was on hand to see Cambridge pip Matamata 17-15.

“It’s been a real progress from our first game, even though some of them have been tight it’s good to see the team get one over the line.”

But he said that judging by the amount of talent and skill demonstrated by a lot of the teams, many of the games were always going to be tough and close.

Coach Ray Stowe gives his team a halftime pep talk.

“Seeing some of the kids out there, a lot of them have some real talent and that’s plan to see when you watch these games and have a tournament like the Gwynne Shield with all the best kids across the region competing against each other,” he said.

Gwynne Shield Rugby is a prestigious tournament run by the Waikato Primary School’s Rugby Committee. This tournament started in 1921 and this year the centenary is being celebrated.

The tournament is for boys and girls up to Year 8 who weigh under 57kgs.

This year’s tournament comprises 10 teams. They are from Te Awamutu, Cambridge, Morrinsville, Matamata, South Waikato (Tritons) and, from Hamilton North Waikato, Panthers, Tigers, Wasps, and Eagles.

Matty Johnson scrambles over for a try.

Heartbreak for Leamington

Leamington’s season was brought to an abrupt end when visitors University spoiled their day with a late try in a semi-final clash in Waikato club rugby’s Championship.

The Blues were five minutes away from the final – and back to back wins over a side which had dropped down from the premiership.

At stake was an automatic promotion spot and a place in the final against Matamata.

Leamington had gone ahead with a superb early try to Jarrod Davey which

went unconverted. University responded with two penalties and an unconverted try before Jackson Neels scored before the break to see the students go into the sheds 11-10 up.

When hooker Liam Rickwood scored another unconverted try for Leamington the home fans were cheering on a side 15-11 ahead.

But Varsity dotted down again and held out a determined Leamington for the last five minutes.

The club’s depth was illustrated when the Waipa Civil Senior B side won their semi-final against University 41-10 to secure a final place away to Matamata.

The Regal Agriculture Leamington Under 21’s were also beaten at home, this time in a final.

Matamata won the bottom four play-off 26-15.

Matamata started with a penalty then a converted try, Zac Molloy then kicked a penalty to gets points on the board and

Matamata came back with another penalty to lead 13-3 at the break. Jacob Taurima and Tom Coston scored second half tries for Leamington and Donald Tonihi kicked a conversion, but the visitors added another 13 points to stay ahead.

Leamington’s Carrick Finance Under 85kg side secured a final against Hamilton Old Boys, beating Suburbs 31-10. Tries were scored by Jason Rouse, Alex Kite, Nick Bolger and Jamie Harding. Josh Mayo added a penalty and four conversions.

I have always had a passion for rugby. I played all through my school years and at club level.

When my sons started school and started playing rugby I then began helping to coach. But that soon came to an end, and someone suggested to take up refereeing. I have always thought about it but was a bit nervous to take it up.

So, 10 years ago I walked into a Cambridge Referee meeting and asked If I could join. I was immediately made to feel welcome and at the end of the evening I went home

with some gear, a brandnew shiny whistle and a rule book. The following weekend I refereed my very first game, 10th grade. Since then, I have refereed my way up through the grades up to club level.

Looking back now my biggest regret is that I did not start refereeing earlier in life.

I can honestly say I get great satisfaction refereeing.

It was nerve wrecking at first, but the senior referees were always there to provide me support and advice. There is tremendous camaraderie among the referees, and

you make some awesome new friends.

So, my advice to anyone who is considering taking up refereeing is don’t wait as long as I did to start, come give it a go. I promise you, you won’t regret it.

YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY WILL LOVE YOU FOR IT. Whether you’re the greatest host or the greatest mum... We provide you with a beautiful new kitchen to make life that little bit easier. Experience style and comfort and nd peace of mind.

The final countdown

The Waikato Premier A’s two most consistent teams, APL Hautapu Sports and Fraser Tech will head into the Grand Final after both teams claimed victory in hard fought semi-final wins over the weekend.

Up for grabs is the prestigious and handsome Waikato Breweries Shield which has been hotly contested by Waikato Clubs for over 50 years.

APL Hautapu arrives there via a solid 40–27 win against a highly competitive Marist team bolstered by the return of Super Rugby Players Bailyn Sullivan and James Tucker.

Marist certainly turned up to play, taking the game to Hautapu who were caught on the hop with Marist jumping out to a 13-0 lead within the first 20 minutes.

This may have ruffled some teams, but Hautapu showed why they are playing through champions of the previous two years and regathered themselves gaining vital field position and then went to work on Marist with aggression and accuracy to provide the continuity they were looking for.

This led to two excellent tries by loose forwards Dave Morris and Tom Florence to take a 14–13 lead into halftime and Hautapu were not headed on the scoreboard after that. There were still some nervous times as Marist threatened on numerous occasions but

Tom Florence scores for Hautapu in Saturday’s semi-final.

excellent defence which has been a hallmark of this team won the day. Tom Florence was a standout on defence, but it was his speed from the base of the scrum which caught the eye in a game where he scored three tries. Skipper Mitch Jacobson and Dave Morris rounded off a dominant loose forward trio, halfback Quin Ngatai was outstanding and improves every week, Coby Miln won the battle of the boot, with all other players contributing to an excellent semi-final win.

Fraser tech made its way to the

Grand Final with a nail-biting victory over Hamilton Old Boys breaking an 18-all deadlock in the 80th minute to score a last gasp converted try to win 25-18.

This allows both APL Hautapu and Fraser Tech to head into the final having lost only one game apiece to each other during the first and second rounds respectively, to set up what looks like the most evenly matched teams to play the final in recent years.

APL Hautapu’s head coach Sean Hohneck has been pleased with his team’s progress to this

point. Having been to finals before he says “our intention is to keep the week as normal as possible in regard to what we do on the pitch, what has worked for us to get us here, so no point changing too much now. Most importantly we will try to enjoy the week and spend some time together as we build into the last game of the season.”

Being the only team they have lost to this season Coach Hohneck is well aware of the strengths of the Fraser Tech opposition.

“They are a very good side

with a strong forward pack and exciting backline. They have some genuine pace and power in the wide channels which s will pose a challenge for us defensively. They are also very astute in their kicking game with experienced Waikato players at 10 and 15. Managing our back field and kick return will also be very important on Saturday.”

He believes his team will be at full strength apart from the loss of Captain Hamilton Burr with a hamstring injury. This is offset somewhat by the timely return of Chiefs and Waikato lock Laghlan McWhannell who returned from injury to his Hautapu Club 3 weeks ago.

The Hautapu Sports Club President BJ Sinclair says it is an exciting week for the club and are especially proud of the team making it a home final.

“We are planning for a big day on Saturday, starting with sponsors and supporters gathering from midday, game day support and hosting the after match celebrations which-ever way the result goes. Whatever the outcome, it has ben a very successful season for our Hautapu Sports Club” The game has an earlier kick off time of 2pm, to accommodate those that intend travelling into Hamilton in the evening for the All Black vs Fiji test.

Derby day glory beckons for Reds Cambridge’s Reds go into this weekend’s Waikato derby against Claudelands Rovers in the best form they have enjoyed for more than 10 years.

The football side thrashed Auckland’s Hibiscus Coast 7-1 last weekend, giving the Reds their fourth win in a row – the best winning streak for more than a decade in the Lotto NRFL. Cambridge head to Hamilton’s Galloway Park on Saturday (3pm) for a showdown against traditional rivals Rovers knowing a fifth successive win could vault the team into the race to win promotion to Division 1.

The latest win puts Cambridge in fourth place but within a win of second spot, and the top two clubs in the division will gain promotion in September.

The Reds hit top gear almost immediately in their big win at John Kerkhof Park.

Jasom Khatkar gave them the lead after 13 minutes and then the side hit the post and crossbar as they put the visitors under pressure.

In the 22nd minute, striker Josh Clarkin scored the goal of the game – a contender for goal of the season, perhaps – when he wriggled through three Coast defenders and coolly passed the ball into the net from an acute angle.

Teenager Aston Hurd scored twice before halftime, with a shot and then a cheeky header which looped over goalkeeper Marcus Nevin.

The 4-0 half-time score would normally suggest the game would be over as a contest but this year’s Reds have displayed a habit for letting teams back into the game. Not this time.

The side played intelligently, keeping things tight at the back and never

letting Coast to catch a breath in their own half.

Cambridge had a series of aerial attacks from corners and free kicks and defender Jack Portegys turned one of these into his side’s fifth goal on the hour.

Substitute Mike Cosgrave pinged the post after shooting across the face of the goal.

Coast captain Daniel Cyra found the net in the 71st minute to save some face for the Aucklanders.

But there was still time for a ruthless Cambridge to add two late goals – the first from substitute Tom O’Leary, and the last from Hurd to complete his first hat-trick for the first team.

In the early game, Cambridge U-23s lost 5-1 to Hibiscus Coast after trailing 3-0 at the break.

Ben Dixon scored for Cambridge.

Cambridge women kept their 100% winning record with their 10th win of the season, beating last year’s champions Thames 5-0 in the Waikato women’s second

division.

Scorers were captain Steph Upton, Lorena Harrera, Olivia Milne, Auryn Maroney and Rachel Hill.

The women registered their fifth clean sheet in a row and they have now played eight-and-a-half hours since they last conceded a goal.

This Sunday, they meet nearest rivals Ngaruawahia United in a top-of-the-table clash at John Kerkhof Park (11am).

In the WaiBop Championship, Cambridge lost 2-0 at home to Whakatane Town.

Cambridge had most of the possession and chances but Town made more of their opportunities to cause the upset.

Despite the loss, Cambridge remain top of the competition and head to Ngaruawahia United on Saturday (12.30pm), eager to regain winning form.

In Waikato men’s division 1, Cambridge lost 5-3 at Melville United.

United went 3-0 up early before Cambridge’s Peter

Buesnel scored his 16th club goal of the season to reduce the deficit. Striker and Player of the Day Dylan Blair scored twice to level the score at 3-3.

However Melville punished Cambridge with two second half goals to take the win.

In Waikato men’s division 4, Cambridge beat Waikato Unicol 3-0 at John Kerkhof Park.

Chris Hill scored twice for Cambridge, with a header and one from the penalty spot, while the third came from Shane Gray.

The win keeps Cambridge in contention for the divisional title.

In the over 35 men’s league, Cambridge D1 beat Northern United Seniles 3-2 with goals from Miguel Peterle (2) and Marcelo Stiaque.

Cambridge’s T2 team lost 6-1 at Claudelands Rovers, with Gary Smith scoring.

In the WaiBop Youth League, Cambridge U-15s drew 1-1 with Claudelands Rovers thanks to a late equaliser by Lucah de Roo.

Henderson juvenile Hong Kong bound

Stakes-winning two-yearold Atullibigeal has been sold and will continue his career in Hong Kong.

Prepared by Te Awamutu horseman Carl Henderson, the son of Street Boss was an impressive winner of the Listed Auckland Futurity Stakes (1400m), with all the makings of a nice middledistance horse for the forthcoming season.

But not surprisingly, overseas interest was strong in the quality youngster, who was also runner-up in the Listed Champagne Stakes (1600m) at his previous start, having also won over 1300m at Ellerslie in early April.

The sale left Henderson with mixed emotions, with the best still ahead of Atullibigeal, who will join the stable of David Hall.

“He is a big, narrow horse who has still yet to furnish,” Henderson said.

“Right the way through I said to the owners, ‘whatever he does as a two-year-old is a bonus as he needs to grow into his frame and furnish into a horse. He still has plenty to learn, he does a bit wrong and just does it all on raw talent to be honest.

“We were going to target the New Zealand Derby (Gr.1, 2400m) with him but I think he is an ultimate 2000m horse.

(1400m) at New Plymouth.

“The other day she got to the front and waited for the other horses and you can’t be doing that in better races,” Henderson said.

“She can get through the mud, which is a real asset at

“He has a high cruising speed but has a good turn of foot when he needs it. I just think 2000m is right up his alley.”

Henderson, who along with wife Cassie prepares a small team, is acutely aware of the necessity of trading horses, but said it was never easy watching quality bloodstock exit the stable that could have put the astute horseman’s name up in lights.

“I said to one of the owners I don’t know how I feel about it. You don’t sell horses for this sort of money very often and, while it is great to see the money in the bank, it will be hard to see him go,” Henderson said.

Henderson also unearthed a promising son of Smart Missile at the Taupo trials last

Racing briefs…

Melbourne options for colt Talented three-year-old Not An Option rounded out his campaign with a game third placing in Sunday’s Gr.3 Winx Guineas (1600m) at the Sunshine Coast.

The Tony Pike-trained colt went back to last with eventual winner Our Playboy, but unlike the winner who followed the rail home, Not An Option attempted to loop the field and ran home solidly for third.

Not An Option, who sports the black and gold checks of Cambridge Stud proprietors Brendon and Jo Lindsay, showed that he was more than capable of getting a mile and potentially further.

“He’s had a lot of unfortunate hiccups through the last 18 months which aren’t his fault, but he seems to have come out the other end of it and two of his three runs were very good,” Pike said.

“If he can stretch it a bit more into his four-year-old season he shouldn’t be far away in some nice mile races in Melbourne. He’ll probably get a nice 2000m if the right race is around as well.”

week, winning his first trial over 900m in comfortable fashion.

“The phone hasn’t stopped ringing for him either,” Henderson said. “It is the same owners as Atullibigeal so they are having a bit of luck. Because they have sold him they are in no hurry to sell the Smart Missile. He is quite an exciting horse. It is quite nice to have one to take his place.”

The boutique stable also have last-start winner Jodelin Gal to look forward to. The four-year-old daughter of Swiss Ace has won two of her four starts, including a Rating 65 event over 1200m at Pukekohe last start and could potentially head towards the Listed Powerworx Opunake Cup

The dominant off-season performer, who ran fourth in the Adelaide Cup as a $1.85 favourite, is currently $51 for the Gr.1 Melbourne Cup (3200m).

Wilde said he was happy with how the daughter of Tavistock had returned as they build her fitness up towards the spring.

"She's done a couple of weeks, we are just building towards the spring with her,"

Wilde said.

"We are not quite sure where we will kick her off yet. We are trying to work around The Bart Cummings, a couple of runs into The Bart Cummings."

Farmers hit the streets

By Blair Voorend

Farmers across Waipā and King Country are set to take to the streets tomorrow, tractors and all, with an organised protest on what has been called “unworkable government imposed regulations”.

But not all farmers agree with the strategy.

‘Howl of a Protest’ is organised by pressure group Groundswell NZ who have organised similar protests across the country.

It will see tractor convoys from Te Awamutu, Ōtorohanga, Te Kuiti, Piopio and Taumarunui gathering in Ōtorohanga to discuss a range of issues from methane taxes, EV subsides and the Three Waters project.

Federated Farmers Ōtorohanga branch chair Michael Woodward said he sees the protest as raising awareness of the issues and frustrations farmers and tradesmen across the country are feeling.

“This kind of movement is only created when people don’t feel they are being properly engaged with or feel like they aren’t being heard,” he said.

“The government has been quick to bring in new laws and policy that have impacted on employers, farmers and the regions without constructive consultation, realistic plans or solutions as to a way forward for those effected.

“Instead, as always, farmers and employers are now tasked with immediate change to a livelihood and expected to pick up the whole bill on the way through while carrying a nation with the goods and services they provide.”

Woodward wants to see a peaceful protest based on educating the public and raising awareness of the issues.

“If we act unreasonably, we will lose our voice - and all we want to be is at least met halfway and treated as equals instead of a dumping ground.”

But while many feel a protest is the way to voice their issues there are concerns it could fall on deaf ears. Federated Farmers Te Awamutu branch chair Andrew Reymer said that while he completely understands the sentiment and frustration members of Groundswell feel, he doesn’t think protests will achieve anything positive.

“The people whose attention we need to attract have very little sympathy for farmers frustrations and know very well how farmers feel about the dialogue and wave of rules coming out of Wellington,” he said.

“New Zealand farmers are very proud of their product being the lowest carbon meat and dairy and the world already and continuously improving. Our waterways are the second best in the OECD and our management

Tractor convoys

of water is also continuously improving.”

Reymer said kiwi farmers are proud that the world realises this, and New Zealand products are increasingly being sought out on the world stage as they are produced from our pasture farming system.

But he said that the failure from government to acknowledge this and use statistics such as gross emissions, which completely ignore carbon sequestered by grass and farm plantings rather than nett warming effect, have farmers feeling victimised and the sentiment of the Groundswell movement understandable.

Farmers from Te Kuiti, Piopio, Taumarunui and beyond will be meet on Waitete Road Te Kuiti and leaving in a convoy at 10.30am up Rora Street and then on to state Highway 3 to the Ōtorohanga Club, Maniapōto Street.

In Te Awamutu farmers will convoy from Arawata St after gathering at 10am towards Alexandra Street turning around at the Redoubt roundabout, back down main street and out to Ōtorohanga via State Highway 3. The two groups will meet up for the Ōtorohanga lap.

Michael Woodward says “this kind of movement is only created when people don’t feel they are being properly engaged with or feel like they aren’t being heard’.

Mental health scheme starts

A programme to support rural people respond positively to pressure, uncertainty and change has been launched this month.

Designed and delivered by the Agri-Women’s Development Trust (AWDT) and Umbrella Wellbeing, ‘Know Your Mindset. Grow Your Influence’ supports rural people - women and men to engage with uncertainty with meaningful action that bolsters wellbeing.

“From new regulations, to shifting consumer markets and adverse weather, rural people have always adapted to change,” says AWDT general manager and farmer Lisa Sims.

“But in today’s world of supercharged change, understanding how situations affect our thinking and behaviour is helpful.

From there, we can focus on what matters to us and choose how to positively influence the people, places and organisations we care about.”

With a focus on making the science of psychology practical, accessible and enjoyable for rural people, ‘Know Your Mindset. Grow Your Influence’ is guided by clinical psychologist Bronwyn Moth of Umbrella Wellbeing and AWDT facilitator and farm advisor Geordie McCallum.

“We’re also working closely with the Farmstrong team, who are supporting us to build and evaluate the programme and share participant stories,” says Sims.

The programme follows a successful online pilot held for farmers last year, supported by Beef + Lamb New Zealand.

The two-part programme runs across two sessions – an online evening workshop followed by a daytime faceto-face workshop – in three regions in 2021 – including the Waikato/Bay of Plenty on September and 29.

A near miss – Owen Gullery’s story COUNTRYLIFE

THURSDAY JULY 15, 2021

“I ended up gasping for breath” Owen Gullery came within a few seconds of drowning in the effluent pond on his farm.

The incident happened in October 2011 when he crashed his tractor and it almost had fatal consequences.

The night of the crash, Gullery had a cow he knew he would have problems with calving, so he was waiting to calve her. He went out to check on her late at night.

“We had a three-pond effluent system, and I knew she was in the paddock by the dry pond, but it was a ‘pea soupy’ kind of night with fog everywhere,” he remembers.

“By the time I got to her it was 11 o’clock at night in October and I hadn’t had a day off all year. I drove the tractor up the side of the pond where I thought she was, went over the bank and before I knew it, the cab was filling up with effluent. I’d driven into the wrong pond because I was so tired.”

Gullery went into a panic as he fought for his life.

“I couldn’t get anything to open.

I ended up gasping for breath in the last couple hundred mls of cab space, managed to kick the back window open, grabbed the blade on the back of the tractor and hauled myself out. It was pretty scary. I ended up sitting on the bank bawling my eyes out.

“I got home in shock and rang RE the boss to tell him his tractor was in the effluent pond, which was a

strange conversation to have,” he laughs. “And after that? Well, after that …” he pauses, “A lot of things changed.”

That near-fatal accident has changed the Waipā farmer’s approach to life and his work. Now he’s alerting other farmers to the dangers of fatigue and burnout.

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

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

“300 days in a row without a break” Gullery contract milks 480 cows on a dairy farm near Cambridge.

He’s been in the industry 20 years and loves “the daily challenges of farming – good and bad”.

“I’d only been contract milking a couple of years in the Manawatu.

I was your typical ‘I’m gonna take on the world’ guy, working full-on hours. I wanted to make as much money as I could, bank every cent so I could buy a farm. That drove me to work 200 to 300 days in a row without a break.

“I only had one staff member when I actually needed two, but I was trying to save money. We had

young kids too. I was busy on all fronts. But I thought, ‘It’s my time.

I’m in my prime. I’ll go as hard as I can’. I was working from 4 in the morning til 8 at night most days.”

That combination almost proved fatal.

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

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

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

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

Following his crash, Gullery employed part-time help. He took his first break of the year and scheduled two afternoons off a week. The family also reset their life goals and direction.

“We changed from being prepared to go anywhere and do anything just to own a farm to concentrating on being a stable, secure, happy family, no matter what it meant in terms of farm ownership,” he says.

JULY 2020 “I don’t want to sound dramatic, but that’s what happens when

CAMBRIDGE NEWS | 19

Owen Gullery you see your life flash before your eyes.”

“I could’ve easily not gone home that night and I never want anything like that to happen again.

While farm ownership and herd ownership are great goals to have, they were no longer my priority.

My priority was being there for my family and staying fit and health and a good head space.”

Gullery wants to share his story to help other farmers avoid injury.

“In the dairy industry we often talk about cows and grass, but I reckon there’s a whole area that’s largely untapped - people’s ability to cope physically and mentally.

I think if people were in a better space, staff turnover wouldn’t be as high, and properties would do

better. I’ve learnt that spending time off farm and remaining fit and healthy are actually very good for the business.

“That’s why Farmstrong’s invaluable, it makes it easier to discuss these things sensibly and maturely. The future of farming cannot be a farm owner going, ‘harden up and do the bloody job’.

It has to be ‘how can we improve as a team?’ Sure, rain and fertilizer make farms tick, but fundamentally farming relies on people.”

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

Big health push worked at Fieldays 20 | CAMBRIDGE NEWS

More than 33,000 people receive lifesaving advice and check-ups at Fieldays 2021 Run in collaboration with Christchurchbased rural health provider, Mobile Health, the Fieldays Health and Wellbeing Hub is Mobile Health CEO Mark Eager’s materialised vision of a “healthcare centre of the future.”

The Hub gave visitors a whole lot more than a 15-minute consult with their local GP, which can be a mission for those who live in rural areas.

The A to Z of free check-ups and tests were on offer, from skin cancer spot checks, blood glucose tests, blood pressure tests, and atrial fibrillation checks, to smear tests, hearing checks, hepatitis C tests, and confidential mental health support.

In 2019, 25,000 people came through the Fieldays Health and Wellbeing Hub. This year that figure grew to over 33,000 people.

“There was a resounding energy in the place. Streams of people came through, doing the rounds among all the healthcare providers, getting support, having meaningful conversations, and telling their own personal stories,” said Mark.

“People were even waiting in line to get check-ups and tests, which shows that people are becoming more proactive about their health.”

The Te Manawa Taki community hepatitis C team, exhibited in the Hub for the first time this year.

Their mission was to spread the word about hepatitis C (hep C) to Fieldays eventgoers and provide a testing and treatment service in their “one-stop-shop” clinic.

Hepatitis C Project Manager at

COUNTRYLIFE

HealthShare Ltd, Jo de Lisle, said they completed 364 tests and 617 mini education sessions during the event.

“We had two nurses offering point-ofcare tests, blood tests, and liver scans, so we could give people the chance to fit in everything into one visit, without having to follow up elsewhere.

“One incredible moment was when a young woman approached us saying she had hep C, and we were able support her straight away to receive treatment to be cured in under nine weeks. She was absolutely stoked.”

THURSDAY JULY 15, 2021

Melanoma New Zealand also provided free skin cancer spot checks at the Hub, and Chief Executive Andrea Newland says there were large crowds of people wanting to chat about melanoma and get checked.

“With multiple nurses working both on and off our spot check van to meet demand at Fieldays, we were able to do 673 spot checks and found 54 suspicious lesions, including melanomas, which have been referred for further evaluation.

The team also conducted a survey at Fieldays which revealed that 61% of

people had never had a full body skin check before, and 82% of those surveyed said they would book one after their visit.

Diabetes was also a hot topic in the Health and Wellbeing Hub. Diabetes NZ had conversations with around 1,400 people about the risks of type 2 diabetes, some of which had specifically visited their stand because they were concerned they were at risk.

The Waikato DHB Diabetes clinical team was situated across from Diabetes NZ, testing blood glucose levels, completing over 1,200 tests during the event.

More than 1200 diabetes checks were carried out during Fieldays.

Expo bounces back in style THURSDAY JULY 15, 2021

Fieldays 2021 was the second biggest in the event’s 53-year history.

A total of 132,776 people attending over the four days and on the Friday 44,044 people came through the gate – a record.

New Zealand National Fieldays Society CEO Peter Nation says that getting to opening day was no small feat and he was thrilled with the public’s response to this year’s event.

“The events industry is a huge part of our DNA, and this was reflected by the astronomical numbers of people coming through the gate,” he said.

“Beyond the numbers, the intangible factors that can’t be measured, such as the smiling faces and people reuniting and having a good time, tell me this year’s event was a huge

success.”

Many people opted for alternative transport options to get to Fieldays this year.

Over 14,000 people took the bus, about 1100 visitors came by Waikato River Explorer, 536 caught the Camjet, and 94 flew in with Helicorp.

It was also the first time that Fieldays had staged a hybrid event bringing the physical and virtual events together.

The virtual extension of the event, Fieldays Online, returned off the back of last year’s success to connect with rural communities that are more isolated, or weren’t able to attend the physical event.

It has been calculated that the primary sector needs 50,000 skilled workers by 2025.

To address this, the Fieldays

REGIONAL REPORT

Explaining the process

By Stu Kneebone, Councillor, Waipa-King Country

Healthy Rivers Wai Ora or Plan Change 1 (PC1) is the proposed change to the part of the Waikato Regional Plan rules that manage contaminant losses from both point and non point source activities (particularly agriculture) in the Waikato and Waipa Catchments.

It is a key part of Waikato Regional Councils (WRC) response to improving water quality in these catchments, as is required by the Vision and Strategy/Te Turi Whaimana o te awa o Waikato, and the National Policy Statement for Freshwater.

In 2012, a collaborative approach was adopted to develop the plan change.

This was about giving the pen to those most affected by the proposed new rule framework. A Collaborative Stakeholder group (CSG) was formed, consisting of 24 members representing a range of stakeholders, including sector groups, industry, community and Iwi. The CSG worked intensely over a two year period from 2014 to 2016, assisted by a Technical Advisory Group to come up with a draft plan change, which was adopted by WRC and subsequently publicly notified. Over 1000 submissions were received on the proposal, which were heard by an independent panel of five hearing commissioners. Following consideration of the submissions, and subsequent deliberations by the hearing panel, they presented their decisions to the WRC, who adopted these as the WRC decision on PC1 on 18 March 2020.

The final stage of this process for those who feel that the Councils decision was incorrect or could be improved on is an appeal to the Environment Court. Anyone who submitted on the proposed plan change can lodge an

appeal, however any relief sought via this process must be within the scope of what was sought in the original submissions.

Another avenue available to submitters is via Section 274 of the RMA. This enables those who have previously lodged a submission on the subject matter of a particular appeal to become a party to the appeal proceedings, enabling participation in the process.

The appeals part of the process is well underway now, with 23 Notices of appeal received, raising over 1000 appeal points and nearly 400 S 274 notices. WRC is in the process of holding discussions with the appellants with the aim of understanding each party’s position, with a view to narrowing the issues in contention, and looking for areas where matters can be resolved.

Court assisted mediation is another avenue available, however there will be some matters that require Court hearing time, and will ultimately be resolved by the Environment Court Judge.

A WRC appeals advisory committee provides guidance to staff in respect of key changes in policy direction, strategies and possible solutions that staff are considering.

It is clearly a long, and expensive process, which reflects the challenges of giving the community and those affected by the proposed new rules a fair and considered hearing. It is anticipated that a final decision will be known by mid next year.

Detailed information on PC1 is available on the WRC website - https://www. waikatoregion.govt.nz/council/policy-andplans/healthy-rivers-plan-for-change
