Business breaker

60-year-old dairy faces closure

By Mary Anne Gill

A dairy in Grey Street is losing hundreds of customers and turnover has plunged 60 per

cent since Waipā District Council blocked the Cambridge street for its Hamilton Road dual cycleway.

As patrons abandon the family business in their droves, owner

Wei Na and his wife Yuan say the situation is so dire they may have to shut up shop leaving her mother and disabled sister jobless.

The council went ahead with

the $1.7 million Hamilton Road Transportation project after the couple met staff, the launch of two petitions, a residents’ social media appeal and a warning

Wei Na will “see how it goes” once roadworks are complete.

about the project at a council committee meeting in February from Cambridge lawyer Andrea Twaddle.

Work began in April and will be completed in three stages. The aim is to reduce traffic volume and speed to make the main road gateway into Cambridge, once a state highway, cycle friendly.

Both sides of Grey Street and the south side of Hall Street where they meet Hamilton Road will eventually become one-way exits.

Since work started, eastbound traffic is no longer able to turn right from Hamilton Road into Grey and Hall streets.

It is the absence of this traffic, which disappeared overnight when workers blocked off the road, that Wei and Yuan say is crippling their business.

The dairy has been in Grey Street for more than 60 years; Wei has owned it for six years.

When The News was in the shop on Saturday, there were two customers in an hour when usually there would be at least 100.

Neighbours report Yuan’s mother and sister, who both speak limited English, have been in tears in the shop. The sister has profound hearing loss and having the job means she has not claimed a sickness benefit.

“We continue with opening the door while the construction is ongoing as we want to provide services to our customers who are

our neighbours and lots of them are elderly. We want to help our customers and also see how it goes once the road works are complete and then decide what to do with the business,” said Wei. Regular dairy customer Stuart Barnett, a former community board member and police officer, said the whole project had been ill-conceived and rushed.

“It’s a community store, it serves the whole community.

They’ve ignored that factor plus closing off those streets will have an impact on emergency services.

I don’t think what council has done is fair,” he said.

Waipā District Council’s service delivery group manager Dawn Inglis said over the past year, the council had consulted with all affected residents and businesses in this area, including the Grey Street Dairy.

“This included two information evenings and several face-to-face visits with the dairy owners and other affected stakeholders.

‘As a result of feedback collected during this time, Council amended the original proposal of a cul-de-sac at the intersection of Hamilton Road and Grey Street to a one-way access. This would still allow cars to exit on to Hamilton Road while creating a low-speed environment for pedestrians and cyclists.”

Grey Street was a priority street for future walking and cycling infrastructure with plans to transform it into a key route for children on their way to and from school and other pedestrians and cyclists, she said.

“With these future changes, we anticipate there will be an increase in foot and wheeled traffic past the business. In the meantime, Council is looking at how it can support this business and others by encouraging our community to buy local.”

Wei and Yuan first complained to the council about its plans to make Grey Street a cul-de-sac on November 30 last year and included 200 signatures from customers against the plans.

Erik Van Der Wel, programme manager Transportation replied in February saying the council had changed the plans so there

was now a one-way exit to allow cars to go onto Hamilton Road.

“We think this change will help to reduce traffic pressures at other intersections and on adjacent streets during peak hours and will ensure local businesses still have multiple options to gain access onto Hamilton Road.

“This change will also help us reduce the speed and volume of traffic on these streets to make them cycle friendly streets which is critical for future walking and cycling networks in Cambridge.”

Early the next month he wrote again to Wei and Yuan. In a letter dated March 3, he said the council had considered their submission.

At that February 16 meeting, lawyer Andrea Twaddle said she had significant concerns about the Hamilton Road project.

She told the council the project did not reflect the council’s strategic priorities.

“There is a scale of this project that is disproportionate to the needs of Cambridge and it’s not

underpinned by community consultation.”

She described the consultation as “defective” and said she was concerned once it was in the public arena, it would derail the good work the council was doing.

Twaddle said there was a lack of transparency about the true cost and urged the council to “go back and do the consultation properly.”

At the same meeting Van Der Wel told councillors Waka Kotahi would fund 51 per cent of the budget before June 30 2021 but

not afterwards. Doing the work in autumn and early winter would present a lower risk to trees, he said.

Mayor Jim Mylchreest and Cambridge-based councillors Roger Gordon, Mike Pettit, Philip Coles, and Liz Stolwyk all spoke in support of the project at the meeting although Stolwyk did say it was important to make sure communications were “excellent” to ensure “we bring everyone along with us.”

Councillors unanimously approved the project.

On the beat with Senior Constable DEB THURGOOD

Your eyes can be our eyes

Two weeks of school holidays are almost at an end.

I hope the wild weather hasn’t dampened spirits or limited your adventures too much and that everyone stayed safe.

I’ve previously discussed rural crime prevention and also the idea of collective responsibility for keeping our community safe. One area that is developing is the concept of community CCTV in rural areas.

The idea of a community funded CCTV camera is to provide coverage of key entry/exit point/s within a district to catch criminal movements. It’s so much bigger than individual areas however, as by building up a network ringfencing our district, anyone travelling through our rural areas will end up passing through one camera or other. CCTV is an important piece of the investigative puzzle. While one camera might get information about a car’s make and registration, another may pick up a view of the driver and passenger, and a third may confirm its presence in the area targeted by burglary at a relevant day and time, and the route taken. Whether one camera or a few, the benefits to all will be notable.

In Te Awamutu, we are already well underway in this regard. Cameras are in place in Arohena and fundraising is in progress in Wharepapa South, Oreipunga and Parawera. In Cambridge, initial talks are underway in Maungatautari and Te Miro. I also hope to be talking with Piarere locals in the not too distant future. Interested? Contact me or Constable Ryan Fleming (Te Awamutu CLO) to discuss.

While on the topic of CCTV, I wanted to let everyone know about a community CCTV website being championed by Neighbourhood Support Group. www.communitycam.co.nz is a voluntary, not for profit website that allows people to register the existence of their CCTV cameras, and when relevant upload CCTV footage to assist in solving crime in their neighbourhood. We already have a few listings for Waipa, but the more we have, the more useful it becomes. It’s free to register so I encourage everyone with CCTV to get on board.

If installing CCTV on your property, the key thing is to be careful that the camera coverage does not extend into any of your neighbour’s private property as you will risk breaching the Privacy Act. If recorded CCTV footage of a person is published (on social media or otherwise) there are further potential ramifications under the Harmful Digital Communications Act and civil law. As a community, we respect our neighbours’ privacy in many ways, such as keeping our noise down, not going onto their land uninvited, and not throwing rubbish into others’ property. Using a security camera responsibly is simply another way of being neighbourly and respecting the privacy of the people next door. While the privacy commission doesn’t focus on CCTV guidelines, advice can nevertheless be found on their website at www.privacy.org.nz.

Have a good week and stay safe, Deb.

Briefs…

Ward consultation Consultation has opened on Waikato District Council’s representation arrangements for the next local body elections which proposes 13 councillors, including two Māori and 11 general wards.

Waipā councillors have yet to settle on the 2022 makeup having already decided to add a Māori ward.

Pop up clinic A pop-up clinic will be available at Anglesea n Pharmacy in Hamilton next Wednesday for at-risk people to get tested for the Hepatitis C virus. Pop-up testing clinics are being set up across the country on that day - World Hepatitis Day. Take a break...

Hot dogs, soup, fruit and coffee will be on offer for drivers at two driver Waipā fatigue stops. The stops, held annually, aim to raise awareness around the issue of driver fatigue and encourage those going long distances to pull over for a break. This year they will be held in Pirongia tomorrow (Friday) Ngāhinapōuri on Sunday from 5pm-8pm.

Region grows The Waikato district has reported a record number of resource consent applications received over a 14-day period. Customer Support General Manager Sue O’Gorman says almost 100 applications were tabled over the past two weeks – almost the same number the Council received each month in the year just ended on June 30.

Music mix Two of New Zealand’s top musicians, classical pianist Michael Houstoun and big band leader Rodger Fox, will perform with guest jazz vocalist Erna Ferry at Waikato University’s Gallagher Theatre this weekend.

New liquor licence bid

By Mary Anne Gill

Cambridge people are being urged to consider whether an application to establish the town’s ninth bottle store in the former Guthrie Bowron premises on Victoria St should proceed.

The application for an Off Licence by Blue Drops Ltd was received by Waipā District Council on 31 May; public notices appeared last month with the objection period ending on 30 June.

No objections were received from the public.

The application is for seven days trading from 10am to 10pm. It is in the early stages of being processed and is sitting with the police and the Medical Officer of Health for assessment before going to the councilestablished District Licensing Committee for consideration.

Police’s role is to provide proactive measures to mitigate any alcohol-related harm.

Community Law in Hamilton has a service supporting the community

to object to alcohol licences.

Deputy mayor Liz Stolwyk said she believed there should be a limited number of outlets per head of population.

“I know that the Cambridge community is sensitive to new outlets and this solution would provide some limitations.

“If an off licence is granted then Cambridge can be very confident that a robust process has taken place, those approving this off licence are no pushovers,” she said.

Waipā’s District Licensing Committee is chaired by commissioner Sara Grayson and includes deputy chair Cr Marcus Gower and members Ross Murphy, Patsi Davies, Michael Cameron, Roy Johnstone and John Gower.

Its purpose is to consider and determine applications for licences, manager’s certificates, renewal of licenses and manager’s certificates, temporary authorities and other matters pursuant to section 187 of the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012.

Records suggest Cambridge already has eight bottle stores, four supermarket outlets, some dairies and several small bars and restaurants all within two to three kilometres of the proposed new off licence.

Social media comment on the application was mixed but most seemed to oppose the bottle store opening.

Blue Drops Ltd is a limited liability company established in April with its registered office at 32 Swayne Rd in Cambridge.

The directors are Avtar and Kanwaljeet Singh who according to Companies office records have interests in other bottle stores around New Zealand trading as Thirsty Bull, Blackbull and Big Barrel.

The News asked police and the medical officer of health for their comments.

A police spokesperson said they were aware of the application and intended to make submissions in relation to it.

“It would be inappropriate to comment on the contents of those submissions at this

stage.”

Waikato DHB medical officer of health Dr Richard Hoskins said when assessing applications, he would consider proximity and number of other bottle stores operating nearby.

“Other criteria that may be relevant to this assessment might include days and hours of operation, proximity to child-care facilities, evidence of alcohol related harm in the area such as presentations to our hospital emergency department.

“Once we have completed this inquiry, we have the

Pop-up clinic gets the vaccine home A pop-up vaccine clinic at both Cambridge Resthaven centres has successfully given both shots of the Covid-10 vaccine to around 270 residents and staff.

centre, and at Resthaven on Burns care centre, gave the first dose of the vaccine in May and the second in June. Some of the clinical staff had received the vaccine previously.

Cambridge Resthaven general manager Rachel Jones said it had been a big logistical exercise because of the numbers across both sites.

“Planning was key to it running smoothly. It is thanks to the close co-ordination of Cambridge Medical Centre and Waikato District Health Board that the roll-out went so efficiently.”

The team worked with Cambridge Medical Centre manager Wendy Harris to put together a plan that would ensure the least amount of disruption for residents.

“Having the in-house vaccine clinics worked perfectly,” Mrs Jones added. “The response by everyone has been amazing and the uptake of the vaccination by our residents was very high.”

The vaccinators and cold chain nurse were from the Cambridge Medical Centre and the Waikato DHB, and the registration and support team Cambridge Resthaven staff.

Clinics with temporary cubicles were set up in lounges at each centre and vaccinations were followed by the required 20-minute post-jab wait, a sticker and a lollipop.

Meanwhile Waikato DHB opened its largest vaccination centre at The Base in Hamilton on Tuesday.

The centre will be able to vaccinate up to 1000 people a day, seven days a week.

ability to raise matters in opposition to an application,” Dr Hoskins said.

The council itself has a Local Alcohol Policy developed to establish its position on licensing matters such as the location, number and trading hours of licensed premises.

The policy says an off licence will not be issued for new premises where the site frontage directly borders any place of worship.

The premises are less than 100m from St Andrews Anglican Church.

Vaccination centre to open in Cambridge Just as The News went to press, Waikato DHB confirmed it will open a Covid 19 vaccination centre in Cambridge on Wednesday 28 July and in Te Awamutu early next month.

The venue has yet to be confirmed but The News understands the Cambridge venue is one large enough to cope with the numbers of those in Group 3, which includes people aged 65 and over, those with underlying health conditions, people with disabilities, and pregnant women, who are now receiving their invitations to book their vaccination appointments via the national Book My Vaccine system.

A local pharmacy is being suggested as the venue for the next in group 4.

THURSDAY JULY 22, 2021

The rural community made their message clear last Friday, and Mary Anne Gill was in Cambridge with her camera to see the protest and wrote about the day town came to a standstill.

Howling on Victoria St

Nothing says rural discontent better than a howling dog and so when Trev the Huntaway got his moment in the spotlight, he let rip.

There he was, head of the parade on the back of a classic Kingswood HQ ute, his master Dean Bayley of Roto-o-Rangi behind the wheel, participating in A Howl of a Protest as only a true hard working farm dog can do.

Two hours later Trev, named after Fred Dagg and the six Trevs, hoarse from two and a half loops around the town centre, slept like a baby on the hay bale while Dean and his mates quenched their thirst in the Five Stags Leamington Tavern.

Protest organiser Bruce Wallis said he could not believe how successful the protest had been, saying it had been more fun than the Christmas parade.

About 150 vehicles, 50 tractors, 50 utes and an assortment of hay balers, harvesters and cars, set out from AgrowQuip in Hautapu at 12.10pm, or joined the protest in town 10 minutes later, to thunderous support from bystanders.

“The highlight for me would have been the lady I saw. She would have been close to 80 years old, cheering every tractor, every ute and every vehicle down the main street.

“We didn’t want to annoy people. We didn’t want to gridlock Cambridge so we let traffic through where we could,” said Bruce.

Former world champion amateur golfer Phil Tataurangi, who was brought up in rural King Country, joined the parade outside the Town Clock.

The decision to have a Cambridge protest was made only two days before and to get

such a big response was brilliant, said Bruce.

“A big thanks to the farmers and all the tradies and all the people of Cambridge who supported us.

“It’s a start, we’ve got to keep the foot on the pedal now. We need to do something like this again.

“Obviously, we know the climate is changing but I don’t think agriculture has had the affect they’re saying it is having.”

A Howl of a Protest was organised by Groundswell NZ, which describes itself as a grassroots rural movement.

They called industry support people, tradesmen, contractors and councils to join farmers and growers for the protests around the country.

Bruce said they all agreed there needed to be changes. “But it’s the rate of change we’re objecting to. For our size New Zealand is already doing a lot. Now we’re facing the most stringent regulations in the world, and it must stop,” he said.

Meanwhile in Te Awamutu it was gridlock down Alexandra Street.

Hundreds gathered at the old Bunnings site in Arawata Street for the protest.

Organiser Lee Smith said she wasn’t at all surprised by the number of people that came out to show their support as she had been fielding calls from people all week.

She heard “not only from farmers and tradies who wanted to know more about the event but also from many in the local region who just wanted to learn more about what we are doing and how they can show their support.

“It’s something that not only farmers and tradies have issues with, but the greater

community know the pressure on these industries already and with added changes will create greater challenges for them.”

Following a convoy out of Te Awamutu to Ōtorohanga those involved in the protest met up with others from Ōtorohanga and Te Kuiti regions to discuss the issues.

The Groundswell NZ claims and demands are: • The National Policy Statement on Freshwater be scrapped.

• “Big-stick” regulations for Significant Natural Areas such as wetlands and

THURSDAY JULY 22, 2021

Connections shines on Bastille Day We’re going Cambridge turned on the Gallic charm last week as it celebrated Bastille Day on July 14 and reinforced bonds with its French sister city, Le Quesnoy.

The mid-winter French-themed day saw the Cambridge Le Quesnoy Friendship Association team up with the Cambridge Museum, i-Site, library, shops, cafes and restaurants. Some of the events and activities will continue through the school holidays.

The Cambridge Museum is hosting an Eiffel Tower Lego Challenge. The museum’s communications officer Elizabeth Harvey said she was delighted with the number of families joining in to celebrate the Cambridge Le Quesnoy friendship.

“The creativity shown during our Eiffel Tower Lego challenge has been monumental. You’d need to stack 13 Cambridge water towers on top of one another to reach the same height as the Eiffel Tower, but that’s not stopped our Lego builders. Some of the towers built in the museum reach nearly two metres with the French flag on top!”

The completed Lego towers are being photographed, giving youngsters an opportunity to win a prize. Children are also being invited to write a postcard to children at Chevray Primary School in Le Quesnoy. Throughout the holidays they can pick up a postcard for free from the Cambridge Museum, i-Site, or library.

Once written, they will be packaged and sent to France.

Cambridge Le Quesnoy Friendship Association chair Alana MacKay said: “We want our sister city connection with Le Quesnoy to be for all ages. By partnering with Chevray School, children in both towns can exchange postcards.”

Shopping and eating also took on a French flavour for Bastille Day. Shops that dressed their windows, and some staff, included Gabriels, Madisons Fashions, Mavis and Mick Shoes, New

World, Danté’s Fine Foods, and Over the Moon Deli. Eateries that followed the theme included Absolute Coffee House, Deli on the Corner, Panache, Que Bar, Tivoli Cinema and Boatshed Karapiro.

The Waikato to Auckland Te Huia train service has carried more than 11,000 passengers in its first three months of operation and there are plans to extend weekday services.

It was also proving popular with families in the first week of the school holidays – there was a 31 per cent increase in the number of people on Te Huia compared with the daily average from Monday to Friday.

“When we started the service, we knew it would take time for people to move out of the car and into the train, but in just over three months we’ve already exceeded 11,000 passengers,” said Waikato Regional Council Chair Russ Rimmington.

“What’s really exciting to see is the small but steady growth in passenger numbers, with increases of around four per cent a month which is on track with projections,” Cr Rimmington said.

“We’re also getting really great feedback from returning passengers. They love its comfort and the ability to work on the way up to Auckland and back again, and that our trains are reliable – in fact, on most occasions they’re arriving early at their destination,” he said.

The Saturday service has been especially popular, with a daily average of 300 passengers and services often at seated capacity. Cr Rimmington welcomed news of the first service improvement. From Saturday patrons will reached The Strand station in central Auckland without changing trains.

Other improvements include the introduction of an interpeak weekday service to start in 2022. Work is also underway on getting the weekday services further into Auckland.

“I’m confident these improvements will grow our patronage more to make the service a real success story,” Cr Rimmington said.

Te Huia launched on April 6. Average daily boardings from Monday to Friday are 141, and the 6.28am service to Papakura and 4.42pm back to Hamilton are the most popular on weekdays.

NO PLANET B

Why we must work together

By Peter Matthews

After the Howl of a Protest which swept through Cambridge and the rest of the country last Friday, I thought it only natural that I should write about it this week. But what to write?

It might be problematic to engage directly with the sentiments expressed on some of the placards. “Jacinda’s a communist” and “Stuff the ute tax” being two examples. Neither factual nor constructive in my view. This is a hot issue and feelings were always going run high, and no doubt will continue to do so.

One of the cornerstones of democracy is freedom of expression and anyone who truly supports democracy would go a long way to defend it. I am staunchly in favour of any citizen’s right to wave a placard stating their opinion, or even the suggested placement of any policy with which they do not agree. At some point, however, there has to take place a rational discussion of the issues. Actually, there is a lot of useful discussion happening across the globe and it is to be hoped that this will lead society in a positive direction. Positive, I mean, for society - not necessarily just in line with my own views.

Regardless, however, of the progress or outcome of any conversations, summits, gatherings, or protests, this is just another day at the office for the natural world.

The universe, including our tiny part of it, exists in a state of flux - the juxtaposition for the time being of all available material according to all available natural laws. Every change being a result of all previous changes and

Being ‘crisis ready’…

so on.

If we look at some of what is happening in the natural world today we can see that Northern California is burning, Northern Ireland has just experienced its hottest day ever, large parts of Germany and Eastern Europe are under water with catastrophic loss of life and great economic cost, the Amazon is emitting more CO2 than it is absorbing, and the South Island of New Zealand is experiencing extreme weather conditions causing widespread flooding.

I list these items not to make any point one way or the other. It is simply a statement of facts.

Notwithstanding divine, or in these cases probable satanic intervention, these phenomena have been brought about by the set of physical circumstances prevalent in each case immediately prior to each situation. What the human race must do, therefore, is attempt to determine what is causing these events and do something about it.

It seems to me that governments around the world are finally waking up to their responsibilities and are making major changes. It is predictable that lives and livelihoods are going to be disrupted by these developments. One of the challenges facing humanity is to work together to manage the process for the benefit of all. We have to do this. Nature is not going to help with this because nature is simply the next logical state in which all matter must and will exist.

CAMBRIDGE SHOWCASE

Sunday 1st August 12:30pm - 3:30pm

It’s reassuring that Cambridge has reliable emergency services on hand. A big ‘shoutout’ to our Voluntary Fire Brigade who (to our embarrassment at Bridges Church), we’ve inadvertently called out numbers of times due to alarm technology doing weird stuff! Fortunately the Fire Station is across the road and they’ve graciously ‘stood down’ having responded swiftly getting ready-for-action!

People’s responses to crisis vary. Advisers suggest we’ll feel calmer, by having an advance plan about what items to take, in events such as fire, flood or whatever…

There’s an account of a wealthy woman onboard the sinking Titanic. Boarding a lifeboat, she hesitated, then, irritatingly, ran back to her stateroom. Frustrated crew assumed she’d dashed to retrieve jewellery or baubles. Actually, she returned to the life-boat carrying some oranges!

Facing a crisis alters our priorities, compelling us to face what’s important and re-order our values.

Trying on jeans in a store’s changing cubicle, I heard the faint wail of a siren out in the mall… minutes later, someone banged on the door shouting, ‘Get out, this is not a drill, evacuate the building immediately!!!’

An anonymous phone call to management stated that a suitcase left in a public area contained a bomb. It unleashed pandemonium..

The adjacent undercover carpark quickly filled with ‘evacuees’. A picture of chaotic confusion existed as bomb disposal crew soon entered with their gear.

Agitated shoppers and patrons waited, some partially dressed, some with half completed procedures like haircuts, massages and beauty treatments. Unfinished meals, clothing and various personal items were abandoned as agitated crowds pressed towards exits in

response to the alarm. One large department store later claimed $40,000 of goods was stolen through the checkouts by non-paying ‘customers’ exploiting the moment.

Turning out to be a hoax, the episode demonstrated how crisis can catch us unprepared.

The Scouts simple mantra, ‘Be prepared’ carries broad application suggesting that predetermining our priorities and values is part of being ‘crisis ready’…

Surprisingly, what most people are least prepared for, is a certainty facing all human beings…the inescapable appointment that awaits everyone with death. Preparing for death entails far more than wills, saying ‘goodbyes,’ having a funeral plan or an insurance policy.

Making funeral plans with no thought of what lies beyond death, is similar to planning a wedding, with zero thought about the marriage ahead. It’s worth thinking about.

That woman facing freezing Atlantic waters as the Titanic sunk, encountered a shift, finding value in oranges over fistfuls of gold and diamond jewellery. Examining our values and priorities in the light of our mortality really matters. We enter this life with nothing - we leave the same way, taking nothing we’ve accumulated with us.

Beyond this life an eternal destination awaits each of us. Jesus frequently addressed the uncertainty and fear of death felt by so many, with life-giving words bringing peace, perspective and assurance.

Preparing for life has importance, but failing to prepare for what lies beyond the grave, is to leave an issue of enormous consequence undone…

Three Waters carrot for councils Storm in a teacup

Waipā is set to receive just under $21 million as part of a $2.5 billion Three Waters package for local governments if it accepts the offer.

Under the formula Ōtorohanga will receive just over $10.6 million Government announced last week a $2.5 billion package to support local government transition through the reforms to New Zealand’s drinking water, wastewater and stormwater services.

The package is also to help stimulate local economies while creating jobs and unlocking infrastructure for housing.

The announcement was made at the Local Government NZ conference in Blenheim, attended by hundreds or council representatives from across the country including Waipā mayor Jim Mylchreest, deputy mayor Liz Stolwyk, councillor Philip Coles and chief executive Garry Dyet.

The package has been split into two components to ensure extra funding is left over for any financial emergency.

The Government says the funding will be invested in the future of local government and community wellbeing, while also meeting priorities for government investment.

LGNZ President Stuart Crosby welcomed the Government’s announcement of a support package.

“The package ensures no council will be worse off and every community will be better off under reform, as well as demonstrating a new way for central and local government to work together,” he said. “It reinforces the pivotal role of local decision making.”

The deal also comes with a commitment to work together with LGNZ to engage and consult with councils and other stakeholders over issues around the water reform.

Nigel’s a fee free dog

A rescue dog named after the American crime drama Bones has won free registration for the rest of his life while living in Waipā.

The three-year-old dog Mister Nigel Murray - Nigel for short is a Japanese Spitz and his owner Stuart Vaughan is the winners of Waipā District Council’s free registration for life promotion.

All dogs registered before the due date, June 30, were automatically entered into the draw for the prize, potentially worth more than $1000 for a young healthy pup.

Te Awamutu resident Vaughan, said he was thrilled to hear of the win.

“Nigel is such a lovely dog, whenever we are out for a walk people come up and want to pat him.”

Since registrations opened in May, more than 6700 or 75 percent of dogs across the district have been registered.

Around 2200 registrations are still outstanding.

Council compliance manager Karl Tutty said the number of registrations had increased this year compared to the e same time last year.

Registrations can be made online at www.waipadc. govt.nz/dogs or at Council offices in Te Awamutu and Cambridge.

Nigel – or Mister Nigel Murray to some...

The weekend storm which brought chaos to parts of the country caused inconvenience, but it seems little more in Waipā.

In the upper South Island residents lost homes, access to towns was blocked and large areas of farmland flooded.

States of Emergency were declared around Marlborough and Buller.

Acting Minister for Emergency Management Kris Faafoi announced $300,000 would be offered to the Westport area in the form of a mayoral relief fund, as well as $100,000 for the BlenheimMarlborough region.

It was suggested hundreds of people would need welfare support for weeks and possibly months.

Waipā District Council said that over the weekend it has five reports of trees down blocking lanes, one slip and one instance of road flooding.

All the incidents were dealt with by after-hours contractors.

In Waipā district, on the Pūniu River at the Bartons Corner Road Bridge the Waikato Regional Council recorded about 25.5mm of rain over the weekend.

“We were moderately impacted by this storm compared to past ones, however still had three areas affected - Kaipaki, Karapiro and Tamahere,” Waipā Networks Stakeholder Services Manager Kerry Watson told the News.

“All were a result of the high winds and tree debris, however the Tamahere one actually had a tree completely fall over and bring the line down.”

Tamahere residents have had a bad run recently. There were two power cuts, one caused by a tree branch and the other a system-related issue in June.

And it could have been a lot worse - MetService warned of a potential severe thunderstorm for Northland, Auckland, and the greater Waikato on Monday, but Waipā received little more than bouts of heavy rain.

COUNCIL COMMENT

AGE OF REASON

Looking at ourselves Sometimes I am driven to ask myself what defines Cambridge. Historically, culturally and socially. What it is that continues to make the town (almost numerically at city qualification status) to ensure that it remains separate from its larger neighbour.

That neighbour struggles to escape from the somewhat rude Aucklanders’ perception connected with bovine animals and continually becoming subsumed under the weight of poor governance and somewhat whimsical management.

Notwithstanding that, it is important as a centre for employment, as witnessed by the high number of vehicles that depart Cambridge early every morning, with their single person contents, intent on earning a crust for the day.

So perhaps we should lift the viewing camera a little and take a drone’s-eye view of what is spread out before the fisheye lens.

In 1880, or thereabouts, (with a variety of urban plans later) the good and the wise of the then boroughs elected to define the outer parameters of the town with an encircling strip of grass. Attached to some strict rules as to how this could be used. And how it could not. By and large – with a kink to accommodate a retirement village tacked on to the skirts of a community governed rest establishment - that strip has been maintained. Still known and respected as The Town Belt it essentially is that boundary where, historically, the ‘Town meets the Country’ using just over 700 acres of land – initially set out in 94 sections to permit the grazing of animals.

It also embraced and still does so – the initial militarily-minded grid layout of the streets of the town. British soldiers – having been transmogrified into the Cambridge Armed Constabulary – could only perceive roading as having a right-angled relationship with its immediate neighbour. Look at the layouts

Talking streets, water, cameras

By Liz Stolwyk, Deputy Mayor, Waipā

of both Christchurch and Adelaide – both designed by military engineer Colonel William Light – and you will see what I mean.

Back here in Cambridge, and outside of the verdant strip, the roads have the temerity to bend and weave and permit several adjacent facets to dictate that departure from right angles – as in the case of the St Kilda development with attachment to areas of water - plays a part in the planning.

Culturally it has a strange mix, with the advent of growing church followers outside of the traditional and historical three-part worshipping groups, to embrace different thinking as to how one relates with one’s deity. The increase too of new citizens from Asia and more central parts of Europe have started to play their part in the mix of tongues, foods and makeup of the school rolls.

As a JP I witness (literally with the aid of my pen) the admission to local society of new and eager faces – the mouths of which initially struggle with the vagaries of the English tongue.

Witness the photographs of the groups that make up Mayor Jim’s frequent citizenship ceremonies to visually perceive the winds of ethnic change.

And the fact that we are graced too with a community marae has its part to play in effecting and recognising the balance around us.

The ‘old’ Cambridge is being subsumed by a tide of ‘new’ faces that are very welcome. The skill and responsibility thrust on all of us is to recognise how we can embrace that change in a law abiding and welcoming manner. As Nelson Mandela once quoted - ‘there is no passion in playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living’.

So, stand tall Cambridge and be your growing self.

It has been a busy time for Councillors over the last few weeks – with water reforms and the RMA getting an overhaul, these changes affect many parts of Council business, and we need to have our eye on the ball.

First up – let’s tackle the “Streets for People”. Over the past few months, we have been trialling a number of changes to encourage more walking, cycling and scootering in our urban town. This direction and mandate was set by you, the Cambridge community. The Streets for People project trial is nearing the end and it is time to look at what permanent changes we wish to put in place. A working group is being put together to evaluate all the varying views of the trial, positive and negative. If you would like to be considered for this group, please get in touch with me. I acknowledge the trial across the country has met with a lot of uncertainty. Be assured this working group will be balanced with members who have challenged the trial and loved the trial.

The CCTV cameras that were installed in Waipā provide our police and council with vital information on crime and will be reviewed shortly and enhanced as required. The working group is about to meet again, and it is important that you get to have your say on how you feel this is working for our town. It won’t stop crime, but it will help catch the offenders.

The Te Awa cycleway to Hamilton is going is on track. Our section will be done before the end of the year. I was privileged to be part of a small group who met with Minister Nash to view the

progress.

Connecting with you is hugely important, casually or officially I appreciate the opportunity to hear your voice and meet with you. Recently I’ve sat down with the Chamber of Commerce, Grey Power, Lions Club, Cambridge Stroke Club and attended a number of social activities that included the Lauriston Park Olympic games (with a very memorable mobility scooter race.)

Three Water reforms – the news is out; Central government have announced their preferred option for entities to operate throughout New Zealand. The announcement means Waipā could be part of a central North Island entity involving 22 councils in the greater Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Taranaki and parts of Manawatu-Whanganui.

Boundaries will be confirmed in September following further discussion with councils and iwi. The change would not come into place until 2024 and councils will continue to manage three waters until then. None of this has been confirmed and Councillors are working through the detail as it comes to hand. At the moment there is still an ‘opt out’ option. If you have a view, I would love to hear from you!

I’ll be at the next Lions Market Day on August 15 from 10am to11.30am near the Lions Caravan with Sue Milner from the Cambridge Community Board. We would love to see you.

Mum, daughter exhibit together

By Viv Posselt

Cambridge-based mum and daughter artists Raewyn Whaley and Alex Whaley-Smith are exhibiting together for the first time from now until August 1 at Morrinsville’s Wallace Gallery.

Both women have visual arts degrees. Raewyn, who moved to Cambridge from Auckland late last year, has an extensive exhibition and awards pedigree, starting from 1986. Her ongoing training has covered contextual studies, life drawing, watercolour, design and painting, and many of her works feature in national and international collections.

Daughter Alex followed her visual arts degree with a teaching diploma, going on to teach performing arts, English, visual arts, drama and project-based learning in Auckland. While her teaching has dominated recent years, she continued her art, combining the processes of painting, photography and film to create work that explores points of connection for visual technologies.

She is also an experienced exhibitor and curator, and her works are held in private collections throughout New Zealand and in Hong Kong.

When Alex moved to Cambridge in late 2019 in support of her husband’s teaching job at St Peter’s School, she decided to engage more fully with her art. She hopes to establish a studio in Cambridge to teach concept-based art classes.

The exhibition at Wallace Gallery is entitled ‘Presence’.

Raewyn has seven large pieces on show, the paintings focusing on ‘The Cloud of Unknowing’, an iconic manuscript from the 14th Century which describes the journey of seeking and finding presence through stillness and contemplation.

“We all have many layers of context in our lives,” she explained.

“The Cloud of Unknowing proposes that we temporarily

leave all this aside – as if under a ‘cloud of unknowing’ when we participate in contemplation.”

Alex has 10 canvas on board works, and a smaller series of seven framed paintings. Under the title ‘Storied Lines’, her works focus on a sensory response to nature inspired by ventures into new landscapes. She represents it with embroidered figurative layering over magnified painted layers of surfaces found in nature.

“Everyday moments with people

carry a new sense of presence,” she said, adding that the theme is part of an ongoing series based on her new experience journeying into the Waikato.

Both artists said that exhibiting together for the first time felt like an extension of both of their experiences. “It has come together naturally,” said Alex. Raewyn described it as a ‘cohesion’ and a unique opportunity.

The works of both artists are for sale.

Festival award goes south

A 14-year-old Christchurch girl, Tessa Marshall, is the winner of an inaugural ‘Special Award’ launched at this year’s Cambridge Autumn Festival.

Organisers said the new award in 2021 was for the outstanding achievement of a festival participant.

Tessa received the award for being the youngest writer to be shortlisted in the 10-year history of the Cambridge Autumn Festival Short Story Competition – a key festival event sponsored by Cooney Insurance in association with Maurice Trapp Group, and one that this year carried the theme ‘Lockdown’.

Tessa’s story ‘Property of Billy Jones’ was shortlisted by the competition judges. They said her work shows a ‘clear sense of structure and attention to detail, plus some humour’. “The writer finds the perfect pitch for Billy’s voice, and she doesn’t miss a beat. It is thoroughly engaging.”

Drawn to the competition’s theme, Tessa said many of the events in the piece were based on her family and friend’s lockdown experiences.

“The most challenging part of writing the diary was choosing words and language that I thought a real young boy would use. I wanted to fully immerse the reader into my story.

I feel really privileged to have won the Special Award.”

Tessa’s short story can be read at www.cambridgeautumnfestival. co.nz/short-story.

TALKING ECONOMICS

What does the CPI increase mean?

The pace of inflation accelerated in the June quarter. Expected increases had been around 2.6per cent a few weeks ago it crept up to around 3per cent just before the Statistics Department announcement on July 16.

The figure of 3.3per cent surprised many.

Phrases used by commentators to describe the increase included ‘surged’, ‘sky-rocketed’ and ‘monstrous’. But the increase did not surprise me. I have been saying in my column for some months that inflation was going to rise sooner and more rapidly than the RBNZ was expecting.

The same thing happened in the USA. The annual rate of inflation to June was 5.4per cent there. The initial responses from both the Federal Reserve and the RBNZ was that most of the causes were one-offs due to supply bottlenecks caused by the Covid pandemic and should therefore be temporary. So, the Fed took no policy action. The RBNZ in its policy announcement two days before the CPI announcement did at least reduce the pressure it had on the monetary policy accelerator, but they didn’t put their foot on the brake.

The Department of Statistics divides the items they survey into 11 groups. The only group that displayed falling prices was communication. Prices for that group fell 6.7per cent with telecommunication

By Peter Nicholl

equipment prices falling a staggering 25.6per cent. Falling prices for communications equipment has been one of the important factors underpinning low inflation for a long time.

The second lowest group was food with a 1.6per cent increase. That low number for food will probably surprise a lot of people. The largest increase in prices was in the transport group with an increase of 9.4per cent. That big increase would not have surprised many people as the impact on transport costs of the pandemic was the main area where the RBNZ and other Central Banks knew the price shocks were coming but believe they will be temporary.

The other eight groups all displayed annual inflation rates of between 2.1 and 4.9 per cent.

This appears to me to be wide-spread price pressures rather than a few one-off shocks.

The key thing that will determine if the ongoing inflation impacts of the current CPI increase will be temporary is the degree to which they generate second round effects by feeding into increases in other prices and wages. The sooner the RBNZ starts using the monetary policy brakes, the less these second round effects should be.

What does the latest CPI increase mean for interest rates? The question regarding interest

LET US MAKE YOUR DAY

rates this year has been when will they start to rise?

Until recently, the consensus view was that wouldn’t happen until the middle of 2022. Around a month ago, many commentators started saying the first OCR increase could be as early as November this year. After the change in tone in the RBNZ’s policy statement on July 14, some commentators said it may even come as early as August. After the higherthan-expected CPI announcement on 16 July the likelihood of an OCR increase in August has increased significantly. In my view, even August is too late. The RBNZ should have waited two days to see what the June inflation data was and when they saw how high and widespread the price rises were, they should have taken the first increase in their Official Cash Rate on July 16.

But the market isn’t waiting for the RBNZ to move. Most New Zealand banks have already announced increases in their fixed mortgage interest rates. So, it is no longer a question about when will interest rates start to go up – they are already going up. The questions now are how fast will they rise and how high will they go? I will give you my views on those two questions next week.

Thank you, Celine Kearney and Andrew Hammond (letters July 15), for your comments, I suspect I may have hit a nerve as your response has become more personal than factual.

I wonder if the global scientists you refer to are the ones from the IPCC who were found to have falsified their data (Climategate) so a particular theme would be adopted, or was it the author of the infamous “hockey stick” graph, Michael Mann, who was found in a High Court to have falsified his data by a real Climatologist, Dr Tim Ball? The scientists you reference are 97 per cent of respondents to a questionnaire and not 97 per cent of all scientists which has also been proven to be misleading.

So, yes thank you, I sleep very well knowing that real science shows that one day this will be revealed as the biggest hoax of mankind and not the pseudo-science we are currently being fed. You believe what you want to, I will stick to the facts.

October expo for Karapiro A new expo to celebrate summer will provide shores of Lake Karapiro with a weekend of boats, bikes and barbecues.

The Great Kiwi Summer Expo has been booked in for October 16 and 17.

It is designed to inspire people to ‘have a go’ and try a new summertime activity says event manager Jude Eades.

There will be camping, hiking, diving and fishing gear, kayaks, tents, wakeboards, motorbikes, paddleboards and boats of all shapes and sizes on offer.

All day long ‘have a go’ sessions will be on offer for visitors to try wakeboarding, water skiing, sailing, rowing, flyboarding and paddle boarding.

Eades is impressed by the calibre of companies which have come on board.

“Bike Lab will be bringing an Air Bag so you can watch BMX riders doing flips and tricks. If you’ve always wanted to try scuba diving, Dive Zone Tauranga is running ‘Have a Go Sessions’, or you could watch the Sealegs boat driving on land then swiftly transforming itself into a highperformance powerboat and if you have ever wanted to have a go at flyboarding – here is your chance.”

It will be a weekend of activities at Lake Karapiro.

Career hunting goes virtual

Wintec is among 10 tertiary education providers who will host a series of virtual super career fairs to connect graduating students with employers.

Wintec will connect students to employers through a digital platform called Prosple throughout August and September.

“Super career” fairs are an initiative to give learners the chance to meet online with employers, ask questions and learn about graduate programmes, internships and employment opportunities.

Upcoming Wintec Prosple fairs are engineering on August 10, construction on August 17, business on August 24, computing and technology on

August 31 and health on September 7.

Wintec Industry Engagement Director Klaus Reiter says the collaboration with Prosple’s online career fairs is a first for Te Pūkenga subsidiaries and the fairs present huge opportunities for students and employers.

Te Pūkenga is the New Zealand Institute of Skills and Technology.

A number of Waikato employers have signed up to take part and Reiter says there is opportunity for more to partner with the super fairs.

“This is a first for Wintec,” Reiter said. “We’re partnering with these fairs because of their success in other tertiary markets and their reach.

Currently there are around 90 New Zealandbased employers waiting to meet our students, with more in Australia and other international locations.

“For students, this is two hours of their time online to explore their career possibilities with leading employers. It’s a chance to test the water, seek out opportunities for internships and/ or graduate programmes or jobs, and make themselves known to the industries they are working to be part of.”

“Through these live online super fairs, our employers are getting access to future talent on a neutral platform.”

Hautapu denied three on the trot Fraser Tech’s first Waikato premier title win in 10 years denied Hautapu a hattrick of wins as Cambridge’s top sides suffered heart break for the second week in succession.

Tech won the Waikato Breweries trophy beating Hautapu 13-10 in Cambridge in a match which proved to be a nail biter.

Leamington will understand the APL Hautapu side’s disappointment – seven days earlier a resurgent University also came to Cambridge for a clash which would provide entry into the premier competition.

The students did not bring form into the game, but they found it on the park to win 18-15 – the same margin Hautapu lost by.

The weather was for the Premier clash at Memorial Park, mother nature effectively spoiled any chance of attacking rugby and the game became a tense affair, as Fraser Tech clung to narrow lead and repelled attack after attack to win the game 13-10.

Hautapu elected to play into the gale in the first half and turning 10 down at halftime, must have thought they were in with a real chance due to the strength of the wind.

Tech adjusted well though, dropping players back to play a three fullbacks’ game in anticipation of the kicks and pressure to come. This seemed to put the Hautapu team off its stride tactically as they struggled to find vital field position deep in the Fraser Tech half for the majority of the second stanza.

It was not until winger Tom Maiava crossed for a try that the momentum changed. First five Coby Miln’s conversion narrowly missed - a difficult kick hitting the post – and that would prove to be an important factor during the late stages of the game.

APL Hautapu spent the last 10 minutes camped on the Fraser tech line continually peppering the defence with determined pick and go attacks.

They crossed the line twice in movements which appeared

to be match winning plays only to have referee Michael Winter unsighted and scampering around the ruck to find the inevitable pile-up and rule held up in goal.

Eventually the penalty came in favour of Tech for a technical scrum penalty and the game was theirs, as the pitch was invaded by their delirious supporters.

APL Hautapu certainly had their chances and probably should have put this game away much earlier than leaving it so late in the game to a frantic finish.

In the end there could be no denying the heroic deeds of the Fraser Tech defence, and their overall game management in extremely difficult weather conditions to take a well-deserved victory.

Strong finish in Gwynne Shield

After a tough start to the Gwynne Shield tournament Cambridge managed to finish strong with a win in their final game to take seventh place while Te Awamutu took home fourth place. The host team had a rough start to the week losing three games in a row. But with a tight win over Matamata they managed to make a slight turn around in their form and showed much improvement over the course of the week. Taking away another two wins to finish off the week they had good form leading into their final game beating Hamilton Tigers.

INTRO This month our Young at Heart feature looks at the assessment process for rest home care and investigates Waipā District Libraries’ free digital tutoring sessions, which can help you get the most out of your computer or digital device. There’s also information about some of the many services and facilities available to help Cambridge residents make the most of their retirement. We hope you enjoy it!

JULY 2021

Getting assessed for rest home care If you need long-term residential care in a rest home, dementia facility or private hospital, you may be able to get a Residential Care Subsidy from the Government.

But first you will need to be assessed to show you have high needs that cannot be safely met with a package of care in the community.

Disability Support Link is a Hamilton organisation contracted by the Ministry of Health to provide this assessment.

You can refer yourself to DSL, or be referred by a family member or doctor.

A needs assessor will visit you at home or in hospital and talk with you about tasks you may find difficult, family or social

support available to you and services that could help you remain living at home.

$129,423. This is especially applicable for couples where one needs rest home care while the other continues to live in the family home.”

If you meet the assessment criteria, and have assets below a certain threshold, the Government will pay the full cost your care but will take a portion of your superannuation to help with those costs, Age Concern Hamilton executive officer Brent Nielsen says.

Fees are uniform across all Waikato rest homes, so you can choose whichever suits your needs best without worrying about variations in fees.

However, it was important to ask about additional charges for premium services – for example having an ensuite – Mr Nielsen said.

“That threshold is currently $236,336 or less including the value of your house and car,” he said.

It was also important to consider the rest home’s proximity to family, your GP and other support.

“If you don’t include the value of your family home and car, the threshold is

Free digital skills training Take the stress out of learning how to use your computer, smartphone, iPad or other digital device with Waipā District Libraries.

“We offer free, one-on-one digital tutoring sessions tailored to your individual needs,” outreach librarian Dee Atkinson said.

“Our community librarians are here to help, and can book you in for a one-hour

session using either your own device or one of the library computers.

“It might be that your phone’s going to sleep too quickly, or you want to learn how to put Google photos into folders or hold an online meeting – anything you’re struggling to do yourself.”

Dee said Waipā District Libraries had recently partnered with Digital Inclusion Alliance Aotearoa to deliver more than 40 digital learning modules through the Stepping Up digital skills training programme.

She said Waipā libraries could assist everyone from total beginners to those wanting to create a CV or develop a specific skill.

Cambridge Oaks and Selwyn St Andrew’s retirement villages were taking advantage of digital learning sessions for residents and other retirement villages were being contacted about similar services.

“If you need help with your computer or device we’d love to help so please get in touch with us,” Dee said.

A good start to new ventures

It is fair to say that Cambridge Resthaven retirement village and residential care centre has had a big year.

The card gives you discounts on everyday essentials like fuel, insurance, food and healthcare, instant savings on entertainment, travel and in retail stores, monthly special offers and free off-peak public transport. Show your SuperGold care instore, or give your client number and date of birth when you’re paying online, and the discount will be instantly taken off your purchase.

Linda Jones was the best option It’s hard to say no when all seven of your children tell you that moving into Ryman Healthcare’s Linda Jones Retirement Village is the best thing to do.

That was the case for Brian and Noeline who moved into a serviced apartment at the Flagstaff village at the end of March, followed shortly by Noeline’s move into the special care unit.

Brian said Noeline had been facing challenges with her memory for a few years but it had got to the point where the children could see their dad needed some extra support.

“The children concluded that Linda Jones was the best option. And that’s proven to be the case!”

After a whirlwind few weeks, Brian is learning about all the many options now open to him as he immerses himself into village life.

Neighbourhood support for young and old Grey hair and a frail body can disguise an agile mind filled with knowledge and memories of wonderful life experiences, says Cambridge’s Neighbourhood Support community engagement officer Eileen Hawkins.

“Meanwhile, younger people can bring energy, new ideas and perhaps some welcome assistance with technology,” she said.

“Neighbourhood Support groups bring people of all ages together, providing rich opportunities for shared knowledge and social connection.”

Neighbourhood Support is a nationwide organisation that works closely with the New Zealand Police, Civil Defence and local volunteer fire brigades.

It aims to help its members solve local problems, reduce crime, minimise antisocial behaviour, support victims

and learn to cope with civil defence emergencies. It strives to connect people to achieve these benefits, reducing social isolation in the process.

Older people can offer a lot to NS groups.

For example: •

•

Spending more time at home often means they are more aware of comings and goings in their street and are more likely to notice when something’s not right.

If not working full-time, they may

have time to coordinate the group and ensure members stay in touch.

•

They may be able to offer help with babysitting neighbourhood children.

In turn, they might enjoy benefits such as: •

Increased stimulation and social connection, resulting in better mental and physical health.

•

Having people to call on to help obtain groceries or supplies during lockdowns or emergencies, or when they are sick or have no transport.

•

Being kept in the loop with suspicious activity in the neighbourhood.

•

Having someone to look out for them if they live alone and don’t have family support nearby.

Anyone who wants to join an existing Neighbourhood Support group or start a new one,can sign up at www.safercambridge.co.nz or phone Eileen on 021 266 9653.

Choosing a retirement village Many people think of rest homes and retirement villages as the same thing, but they’re not.

“In fact, they are two completely different ways of living, covered by two completely different sets of legislation,” said Age Concern Hamilton executive officer Brent Nielsen.

“A retirement village supports you to live independently in an older persons’ community and it is your choice to move in, whereas a rest home provides ongoing support with your health needs and you will need to be assessed to receive that level of support.”

For those considering a retirement village, Mr Nielsen recommends visiting the Commission for Financial Capability website, www.cffc.govt.nz, which has “a whole section offering excellent advice”.

Age Concern can also provide a range of printed literature and provide one-toone help in person or over the phone on (07) 838 2266.

Once you have done some background research, Mr Nielsen recommended visiting retirement villages of interest to look around, gauge the vibe and find out

what services were available on site.

“For example, does the retirement village have a rest home and a dementia facility onsite in case your health needs change?

And is it close to family, your GP and other services you may need?”

Cffc.govt.nz recommends breaking the decision on moving to a retirement village into three parts:

Volunteer Visitors Wanted Do you have time for older people? You could be a volunteer visitor.

Are you friendly and enjoy a chat?

Able to give about an hour per week on a regular basis?

Your visits will make a real difference in an older person’s life.

We will match you with someone with similar interests to you who lives in your local area

3 Be honest about whether you fully understand and accept the legal regime, occupancy model and key

consumer protections of living in a registered retirement village.

“It’s really important to find out as much as you can at the beginning of the process to ensure the retirement village you choose is the right fit,” Mr Nielsen said.

Plenty at stake for high flyers

Cambridge’s top men’s football teams will play for big stakes in front of their home supporters on Saturday.

The Reds will face Papatoetoe in the main game at John Kerkhof Park (3pm), chasing their fifth win in a row and for a chance to push for promotion in the Lotto NRFL second division.

The Cambridge club’s third team will take on Te Puke United (2.45pm) in a game that could prove vital to the final outcome of this year’s WaiBop Championship.

Both games could deliver season-defining results.

The Reds are in their best form for more than a decade and are fourth in the northern regional competition, with a game in hand over the teams above them on the table.

A win against Papatoetoe, who are second bottom, will at the very least keep Cambridge in the hunt for promotion as the top two sides will go into next year’s first division.

Cambridge’s match against Waikato rivals Claudelands Rovers was called off last Saturday due to a waterlogged pitch at Galloway Park.

In the WaiBop Championship, Cambridge’s game at Ngaruawahia United went ahead in heavy rain.

Former Reds Donovan Latham and Callum MacLeod helped Ngaruawahia to a 4-2 upset win against competition leaders Cambridge.

The pair scored second-half goals to lead a Ngaruawahia revival that saw Cambridge surrender a 2-1 half-time lead at Centennial Park.

United took the lead after five minutes through Jefferson Latham but Cambridge’s Tom Woutersen grabbed a double to give his side the advantage.

After the break, MacLeod pulled a goal back on the hour and Latham scored another in the 76th minute to put Ngaruawahia in front.

Jordan Brown found a fourth goal for the home side with only three minutes to go to ensure Ngaruawahia, ninth-placed before the game, took the points against the competition leaders.

For Cambridge, it was their second loss in a row and the side will need to bounce back against Te Puke United this Saturday to remain title favourites.

In the Waikato Women’s League second division, leaders Cambridge finally ended their 10-match winning streak, losing 3-1 at home to title rivals Ngaruawahia United.

United went ahead after eight minutes, ending an impressive defensive record for Cambridge in which the side had not conceded a goal for eight-and-a-half hours of play.

The visitors doubled their lead on the hour and then

increased their advantage with a 77th minute penalty.

Cambridge reduced the deficit with an Olivia Milne penalty with five minutes to go.

Player of the Day was goalkeeper Romi Brassesco.

Cambridge’s Division 4 team managed to complete their game on an extremely wet pitch at Morrinsville, registering a 3-0 win that keeps them in contention for the competition title.

Scorers were Shane Gray, Matt Vink and Player of the Day Brandon Vink.

In the over 35s league, Cambridge Team 2 lost 6-3 to Northern United after trailing 3-1 at half-time. Scorers were Gary Smith, Tom Gifford and Peter Buesnel whose goal – his 17th of the season – keeps him in the lead for Cambridge’s Golden Boot award.

Poor weather also caused the postponement of fixtures for Cambridge’s U-23s and the men’s Waikato Division 1 team.

Refinancing Your Mortgage

By Gavin Lynch – Yes Mortgages

Refinancing your mortgage is the process of changing your mortgage lending from your existing lender to a new lender. Refinancing is a common practice for any of these reasons: • You don’t like the lender you are with.

You’ve experienced poor service, problems with staff, or high account fees.

• You want to borrow more money but the lender won’t allow it.

Perhaps you want to consolidate debt, borrow to purchase a rental property or a vehicle, or put working capital into a business.

• You have ‘outgrown’ your existing lender and want to move forward.

This is common for self-employed people with a growing business, or for investors with an increasing portfolio.

• Your lender has asked you to refinance.

You may be in arrears with mortgage repayments or you need to restructure your mortgage.

Refinancing can involve costs such as break fees from the existing lender, solicitors’ fees, valuation charges etc, but we can help get cash contributions from your new lender to help offset these costs.

At Yes Mortgages, we can outline the costs involved and find the best new lender to fit your current situation from the 25 or so different lenders available. In most instances, our service is FREE to you.

Generally the benefits of refinancing outweigh the costs involved but bear in mind: Refinancing your mortgage must benefit and add value to YOU. Let us do the work to find you the best lender for your situation.

Senior B side beaten in wind and rain

Leamington’s Waipa Civil Senior Bs flirted briefly with victory in the wet at Matamata last weekend before the host ground out a 24-13 win The Senior Bs travelled to Matamata with great support for the Championship B final.

Bad weather made rugby a bit of a lottery and Matamata led 12-6 at the break. An early second half try to Mitch Abbott gave Leamington a one point lead, but with

the wind behind them Matamata pinned Leamington in their own 22 until the points came.

Two penalties and a conversion to Brett Pyke completed Leamington’s scoring.

The Carrick Finance Under 85Kg was also beaten in a final, losing their bottom four final 10-3 to Hamilton Old Boys.

On a day of torrential rain and howling winds the Longhorns trailed early before

responding with a penalty from Josh Mayo.

Old Boys scored again just before half time 10-3.

The second half saw the Longhorns continue to work hard and defending their line for long periods at a time – but neither side could break a second half stalemate.

Leamington hosts the Waikato Rugby Union Divisional XV trial at the club from 1.30pm on Saturday.

Meanwhile club chairman Dave Peters, calling it “a wrap for 2021” saluted an “awesome season for Leamington with player growth continuing”.

“It was great to see the successful Colts team of 2019 and 2020 progress as a group through to Senior Rugby. The Colts started the cycle of rebuilding with a young side full of local talent,” he said.

“The Under 85Kg team the Leamington Longhorns developed into a tight knit bunch of mates and created a great atmosphere which attracted players young, not so young.

He said the Senior B team continued to be the backbone of the club and put together some great footy while supporting and challenging the Senior team.

Continuing our regular series of profiles on Cambridge Rugby Referees Association members ahead of the organisation’s centenary in 2023.

Meet the refs…

By Steve Morgan

Monday Nights at 7.30pm you will find a room full of Rugby mad like-minded individuals sitting comfortably in the Tom Voyle Lounge at Memorial Park, discussing the last weekend’s games, participating in the week’s lecture on law, any game changes, and generally getting ready for the week of rugby ahead.

You might think that rugby only takes place on Saturday, but the refs around the country are called upon at a moment’s notice to officiate mid-week games, either during the day or in the evening under

Kade Ormsby, pictured in action on Saturday.

lights.

Friday night games have also become popular with first XV teams and of course Gwynne Shield takes place during the school holidays.

So just like emergency services, we are on call and like to accommodate where we can. And that’s just

the Winter - touch rugby, Sevens and 10 a side starts to take up the summer months, and then it all rolls around again.

If you are keen on some fitness and want to blow a whistle, contact the Refs at Tom Voyle Lounge or email cambridgerefs@gmail.com

Cosy comforts

One of my favourite winter warmers is a casserole. The combination of meat (usually), vegetables, spices and herbs slow cooked in the oven or on the hob to mouth-watering deliciousness is a cosy comfort.

Casseroles can be prepared in advance, stored in the fridge or freezer and reheated when required.

If reheating from frozen, it is best to thaw the casserole in the refrigerator or thaw on low heat in the microwave. With faster thawing more liquid could result meaning you may have to thicken the hot ingredients with a flour and water paste.

Casseroles are full of appetising goodness because they are cooked in a tightly covered container with a small amount of liquid. The nutrients are not boiled or drained away. For the tastiest results, always use low heat, preferably about 160 degrees Celsius, but certainly nothing higher than 180 degrees. Most meat casseroles will take about two hours to cook at 160 degrees Celsius.

TAMARILLO RED WINE PORK 1kg diced pork freshly ground black pepper to taste 3 rashers bacon, chopped 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 large onion, diced 200g button mushrooms, sliced 1 tablespoon each: mixed dried herbs, brown sugar, balsamic vinegar 1 cup red wine 4 tamarillos, peeled and halved crosswise Preheat the oven to 160°C. Sprinkle the pork generously with black pepper.

Sauté the chopped bacon in half the oil in a large casserole suitable for the hob and oven. When nearly crisp, add the onion and mushrooms. Sauté until lightly coloured. Place aside.

Brown the pork in batches in the remaining oil. Return the bacon mixture to the casserole and mix well. Add the herbs, brown sugar, balsamic vinegar and red wine. Mix well. Cover

together with the mustard, herbs and seasonings. Cover and cook in oven for 2 hours.

Ten minutes before the end of cooking time, remove the casserole lid and stir in the red capsicum. Spread the croutons with butter and herbs and place on top of the meat. Cook for 10 minutes. Serves 6-8.

CARBONNADE Onions: 125g bacon, diced 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 large onions, diced 2 teaspoons sugar Meat: 1.5kg chuck or blade steak 4 tablespoons cornflour Liquid: 330ml black beer 1/2 cup beef stock Seasonings: 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard bunch fresh herbs tied with string salt and pepper to taste 1 roasted red capsicum, seeded and diced Croutons: 6-8 slices French bread, lightly toasted 25g butter 2 tablespoons chopped mixed fresh herbs Preheat the oven to 160°C. Sauté the bacon in half the oil in a large casserole suitable for the hob and oven. When nearly crisp, add the onions.

Sauté for 1 minute. Add the sugar and sauté until golden.

Place aside.

Cut the beef into cubes and dust with the cornflour. Fry in the remaining oil in batches, until coloured.

Remove from the heat and pour in the beer and beef stock stirring well. Return the onion mixture to the casserole
