Winston’s winning post
Winstone Peters cut the ribbon with the help of Cambridge Jockey Club present Bruce Harvey.
Winston Peters was back in the limelight talking to a supportive audience in Cambridge yesterday. The former racing minister was invited to do the honours at the official opening of the Cambridge Jockey Club’s synthetic track – the first to be up and running in the country. Mr Peters was instrumental in delivering a $72.5 million emergency support package to the industry last year. It included $20 million for three synthetic tracks.
The polytrack has already hosted a series of winter meeting. It was first used for trials last October and hosted its first full meeting in May. Cambridge Jockey Club chief executive Mark Fraser-Campin has been buoyed by the support the track has received by the industry and its popularity over the winter months. “It is doing everything it was asked to do – provide a surface through the winter that is an alternative in the Waikato, and it has been heavily
supported.” “Any myths people were concerned about have proven to be pretty much all wrong. You can win from the front, from last, and you can be wide. There is no real track bias. Fraser-Campin has also taken a lot of pleasure out of seeing plenty of top trainers using the surface in preparing their topliners for the spring. Yesterday’s meeting was the club’s richest to date and featured four with $40,000 purses. – NZ Racing Desk

Hitting back at Covid
The Covid roll out has reached Waipā this week as the huge task to vaccinate the community ramped up. The Cambridge Community Marae – Nga Hau E Wha - is the latest community COVID-19 vaccination centre to open in the Waikato, and the first vaccinations were administered there just after noon yesterday. It has been a tough time for the DHB, which is still recovering from a cyber attack and was ranked lowly in the success of its vaccination roll out this week. But the opening of two centres in addition to other venues providing the vaccine can add 500 people a day in Waipā to the list of those getting protection. The former Bunnings building in Te Awamutu will be converted into a community vaccination centre to start operating later this month. The DHB expects to deliver up to 30,000 vaccinations a week throughout the region at full capacity. To date it has overseen almost 100,000 vaccinations. Maree Munro, Waikato DHB COVID-19 vaccine programme lead, said at full capacity the Leamington site will vaccinate around 250 people a day. The centre is operating by appointment. At full capacity the Bunnings site in Te Awamutu will also vaccinate up to 250 a day. Opening hours at the appointment only centre is likely to be 9am to 4pm from Tuesdays to Saturdays. It is expected about 25 staff will be based there. Within the greater Waikato there are community vaccination centres in Hamilton, Te Kuiti, Taumarunui, Thames and Morrinsville. Additional centres will be established in Matamata and Tokoroa and are expected to be open through to December. People in Group 3, which includes people aged 65 and over, those with underlying health conditions, people with disabilities, and pregnant women, are now receiving their invitations to book vaccination appointments via the national Book My Vaccine system or phone 0800 28 29 26. Group 4 (the general population) vaccinations will be done in age bands, starting with people aged over 60 years.

Grey Street
The article in the Cambridge News on the decision by Council to close off the road into Grey Street and its impact on the Grey Street Dairy illustrates once again the incredible decision making by Council in its haste to implement a cycle friendly roading system in Cambridge. With the orange spikes and painted dots, speed bumps and closure of streets earlier this year, Council acted like a bull in a china shop with its range of measures implemented almost at any cost without either adequate consultation or a sense of realism as to what effect this would have on traffic movement in the town. Duke Street has since been reopened to two-way traffic of course but when one looks at Grey Street south of Hamilton Road one could argue that Council has clearly made a mistake as traffic wanting to access the area west of the CBD from Hamilton Road is now channelled down Bryce Street, which is the very street that Council tried to make less traffic intensive in the interests of child cyclists. Now instead of speed bumps, dots on intersections and planter boxes there will be an increase of vehicular traffic unable to turn from Hamilton Road into Hall Street and Grey Street – Bryce Street becoming the only other option for vehicles, including those heading for Leamington, choosing to bypass the CBD. One would have thought it more sensible to leave Grey Street as a turning point from Hamilton Road and, if you must, close off Bryce Street. Cyclists traveling along Bryce Street would then encounter less traffic flow along at least a part of Bryce Street, instead of more, and vehicles can detour down Grey Street – and Wei and Yuan Na can still have their business.

This week 26-30th- July is Netsafe Week, so it’s a great time to lend my support to all things around crime prevention online. Despite increased awareness in the community around scams, we continue to get regular reports from people who are falling prey to them. The most common example we see is a well-used one whereby someone receives a call purporting to be from Spark staff. They often advise that they have discovered a fault or computer virus that requires immediate intervention or need to update your details with them. They will direct you to a web link or get you to download Team Viewer or similar remote access software that enables them to gain direct access to your computer. Sometimes they will seek payment for their services. Regularly they will ask you to enter logins and passwords or confirm bank details. Unwittingly passing over any personal or financial details to a scammer immediately opens you up to monetary or identity theft.
Where a landline is used to contact victims, it is unfortunately often our elderly who are vulnerable. I ask my readers to talk to older family members and friends to make them aware of this type of scam. An information sheet is available for collection at our front counter. Another complaint we get is around unauthorised distribution of intimate photographs or video content. As with everything on the Internet, remember that once a video or photograph leaves your computer or mobile device, you lose control over where that file ends up and with whom it is shared. I recall an advert from my childhood that included the phrase, ‘you tell two people, and they tell two people, and so on and so on.” - today however technology make it easy for one file to be shared with not just two people, but rather large numbers at the click of a button. One example of this is so called ‘Revenge Porn’ which relates to people publicly publishing intimate photos and videos of an
ex-partner to get back at them after a relationship breakup. These situations are obviously distressing to the victims and can have long term damaging effects. In the first instance you can report online issues to Netsafe on 0508 Netsafe or email to help@netsafe.org.nz . In such a situation, the Harmful Digital Communications Act 2015 also applies however. It aims to prevent and reduce the impact of Revenge Porn, bullying, harassment and other forms of online abuse and makes it an offence to post such things online. Where a crime has been committed or you are in danger, always report to 111. In summary, I guess the key thing to remember is that while living in an online world certainly has benefits, it also has risks. An online presence is long lasting and we should all be careful about how we represent ourselves and to whom we entrust our images. Until next week, lets stop the scammers.

Waipā homes feature
Homes built in Waipā featured in Waikato House of the Year regional winners last weekend. The winner of the Gib Showhome category, and a gold award, for a home in Leamington was Urban Homes The building was said to have a striking street appeal mainly due to its black and white themed exterior, alongside three separate wings which were cleverly linked. “There is superb presentation throughout, both in choice of finishing materials, furniture and accessories, which all ooze style and class. From the glazed brick entry feature to the panelled walls and use of
fluted glass, this home is truly remarkable,” the judges said. Other winners for Waipā homes included Linecrest Homes, McIndoe Construction, J A Bell Building, SJR Building, Sentinel Homes and Hill Homes. Gold awards also went to Brown Construction of Te Awamutu and Waikato Build from Pirongia and there was a bronze for Jennian Homes Cambridge. The House of the Year competition recognises the best homes, builders, and craftsmen across New Zealand. This year the competition had over 347 entries from all around the country.
This Leamington home was described as “remarkable”.
Hines opts for pedal power Cambridge appeal By Mary Anne Gill
Former All Black Geoff Hines, his daughter Ellen Wright and granddaughter Mya will bike to rugby.
Rugby and netball are following football’s lead with a Bike to Footy initiative underway starting this Saturday with rugby at Hautapu’s Memorial Park. The idea behind Bike to Footy came from the Bicycle Revolution Cambridge group which encouraged families heading to their sportsground for Saturday sport to cycle there instead. The Leamington Junior Rugby and the Cambridge Junior Rugby clubs are also getting behind the idea. Spokesperson Neil Gibb said it might mean a little more effort than piling into the car, but it gets the family doing Saturday morning exercise together in a very health and eco-friendly way.
To promote the idea and stimulate interest the group last term did alternate weeks at each of the main sports codes. There is a marked area with bike stands provided as well as bike mechanic to provide a complimentary bike safety check. As an incentive a voucher for free hot food or drinks is given to everyone who shows up on a bike. Football tried it out at John Kerkhof Park last term with remarkable success. Bike racks were near to full most weeks. Cambridge Junior Football Club is now looking at putting down a concrete pad with permanent bike racks to accommodate the bikers
on Saturday as well as the children who bike to practice during the week. This term kicks off with Bike to Rugby. Memorial Park will have a designated area where the Bicycle Revolution Cambridge team will be there to welcome the cyclists. Geoff Hines, who joined Hautapu after growing up in Tokoroa, is getting into the spirit of things by joining his daughter Ellen and his granddaughter Mya Wright on their bikes. Mya loves playing for her Hautapu team, and the extended family are there to support her. Bike to Netball at the Cambridge Netball Centre in Leamington starts August 14.
The developers behind a 40ha subdivision west of Cambridge have lodged an appeal against the decision by independent commissioners to decline the development. In their appeal, 3Ms of Cambridge said there were 14 errors in the commissioners’ decision which if not made, would have resulted in the application being granted. They asked for the application to be granted in full or in an amended form to incorporate a staging approach. They are also asking for costs. The application was for a subdivision consent to subdivide four existing Records of Title into 242 residential lots and to provide sites for a school, retirement village, community and commercial centre, recreation facilities, recreation reserves and stormwater network. The sites are in Waipā District’s C2 Structure Plan area, the Deferred Residential and Rural zones. The application was a non-complying activity under the Waipā District Plan 2017 which resulted in an independent hearing held in May. The commissioners declined the application earlier this month. In the appeal, barrister Lachlan Muldowney said: “the decision does not promote the sustainable management of natural and physical resources, or the efficient use and development of resources.” The case now goes to the Environment Court.
Award finalists Cambridge restaurants and staff will feature at the 2021 Waikato Hospitality awards in the middle of August. Alpino has Craig Loveday as a finalist in the outstanding bartender category and Ricardo Carminati in the local food hero section. Alpino is also a finalist in the outstanding restaurant section, as is, in the outstanding ethnic restaurant section Koi Spice Craft & Whisky. The Curiosity Gin outstanding sales rep finalists include Gerard Mooney from Jacket Beverages and from Te Awamutu Magills Butchery is in the running for outstanding supplier. Over 15 awards will be awarded to the best of the Waikato hospitality industry.

MP on offensive over ‘Mob money’
Waikato MP Tim van de Molen has echoed joined the chorus of complaints over gang links to Government funding, It was “incomprehensible that $2.75 million has been allocated to them instead of to reputable agencies whose proven track records in rehabilitating people with drug addictions are overridden in favour of giving the money to the Mongrel Mob” he said. The Waikato MP said the influence of gangs on
vulnerable members of the wider community has long been of major concern. “Their insidious infiltration into people’s lives has never been condoned by law-abiding society. It makes sense that the scourge of drugs in our community, illegal guns, intimidation, increased violence and other unsocial behaviours and crimes, which are hallmarks of gangs, should be staunchly targeted as intolerable by our law enforcers and
Government. “As such, it is unprecedented and completely unacceptable that a gang-affiliated group should be endorsed and financially benefit from none other than the Government and Prime Minister.” A row had erupted over funding for a methamphetamine rehabilitation programme called Kahukura in the central Hawke’s Bay. It emerged the organisation running the
programme had gang connections. A Ministry of Health spokesperson said Kahukura was a live-in marae-based programme using a mix of Te Ao Māori and western methodologies”. But the Opposition has gone on the offensive over the programme. “It’s glaring evidence that this Government is not only soft on crime, but untenably sanctioning gang activities by funding them,” Tim van de Molen said.
“Let’s be clear; the Mongrel Mob is an organised criminal organisation which has been caught selling meth, uses illegal firearms and perpetrates significant violence on our streets. Almost any other organisation would be more appropriate to fund than a drug-peddling gang, yet the Prime Minister has repeatedly stood by her decision to sign off on this funding, and that this is being blown out of
proportion.” National says there are now 8000 gang members “peddling drugs, violence and misery throughout New Zealand - that’s a 48% increase since this Government came to power”. Earlier this month mental health Mike King found wide support when is failure to get Government funding for “Gumboot Friday” was compared to the Kahukura issue.

A cross
By Roy Pilott
It’s been 40 years since the two of us were together in central Hamilton, but the circumstances are completely different. Archbishop Philip Richardson, also Bishop of Waikato and Taranaki, and I walk across Victoria St from the Cathedral to Waikato Museum and step
A picture which became an integral part of the media coverage - Philip Richardson recalls the moment he "invaded" the pitch.
INVEST IN CAMBRIDGE AUCTION
back to a day in July 1981. I had just turned 24, he was 23. 1981 is the name of the exhibition which recounts a landmark day in New Zealand - and ultimately South African – history. Visitors to the museum can get a feel for the atmosphere of the time as, for 56 days, the country was divided by a rugby tour. Family members came to blows, the name Red Squad, the police riot control unit, was introduced into our vocabulary. Their long truncheons were colloquially called Minto Bars after John Minto, the national organiser of Hart Halt All Racist Tours. Sport and politics don’t mix was the mantra from one side. The protest movement begged to differ. July 25, 1981 is a day I recall clearly. I was in Hamilton to see the second game of the tour, having given up the glory of playing a football match for Tokoroa against Tokanui. Philip was part of a group which came down from Auckland. I went to watch with my South Waikato News colleague Evan James. Philip went to protest Future Governor General Archbishop Paul Reeves had blessed a cross the night before, expecting it to be present at protest. It was entrusted into the care of Philip’s travelling party. By the time my Tokoroa mates were kicking off, everything had kicked off in Hamilton. Evan and I watched from the main stand at Rugby Park as anti-tour protesters broke through a line of police and charged onto the park.
It soon became evident that this was not a time to be flashing a Press Card. Behind me men in light grey suits screamed obscenities from the not-so cheap seats suggesting what fate should befall those protesters on the park. And in the middle of the protesters could be seen the cross. It had been carried by various parties through central Hamilton and, featured in one of the iconic pictures on the day - two St John’s Theological College students evading the attention of police to get it onto the park. One was Philip Richardson. It would be fair to say Sir Paul had not expected to see the cross he blessed taking a star role in the protest less than a day later. That protest led to the cancellation of the Waikato-Springboks game. I went home with two programmes and a head full of memories. We stopped at The Oxford in Tirau for a beer and kept our heads down. People were very angry. There were some angry people at St John’s in Auckland too. By the time Philip and his 14 or so colleagues arrived home someone had tossed a rudimentary Molotov cocktail into one of the buildings. It caused little damage, but fellow students were not impressed at being targeted. On the way back to Auckland the St John team stopped for refreshments. “I saw some relatives – and got a cool reception,” Philip recalled. And as he would do regularly, he called home that night. “I don’t think your father wants to

talk to you at the moment,” his mum revealed. “Dad spent 30 years in the Air Force, and he struggled to accept what I had been part of. “But a lot of things happened around that time – Whina Cooper, Bastion Point, and anti-nuclear campaign – ‘rent a mob,’ said Rob Muldoon.” In those days, when an America destroyer visited Auckland, the flotilla of protest yachts which dotted the Waitemata Harbour included a little Sunburst carrying Philip Richardson. I had expected Philip to show some level of pride, or satisfaction when he walked into the 1981 exhibition. It had been, after all, job done. Instead, he stopped, hands clasped in front of him and bowed his head. “I have never been so frightened in my life,” he recalled. “There were four lines of fully clad riot police... “They were trying to get everyone off the park, they told us: we think we can protect you for a bit – but after that, we suggest you go for it...” Police were caught in the middle of the country’s civil war over the tour and copped a lot of criticism – but Philip Richardson pays tribute to Police Commissioner Bob Walton, who urged organisers to call off the Waikato game. Walton subsequently told then Prime Minister Rob Muldoon he would resign if asked. He wasn’t - and the Archbishop believes he deserves credit for his handling of the day.
“We took the cross down and marched to the stadium – I never envisaged actually getting onto the field. “And it seemed when protesters did pull part of the fence down, there were people on the inside ready to make space for them to get onto the field.” As we talk the video loop showing how the protest evolved runs. Philip points out members of the group he was with. Just who had the cross when is a bit misty – but then Philip points to the screen again as footage shows two people carrying the cross onto the grass while others try to stop them. “That’s me”. He respected John Minto, and fellow anti-racism leader Trevor Richards. “I admired the way they saw need.” Forty years on from 1981 some things have not changed much. I’m still writing news in Waikato – Philip is still a regular at St Johns in Auckland. Plus, of course, he’s now The Most Reverend Philip Richardson, archbishop. He told me the cross story a few years ago, and I vowed to write it one day. Here’s the day. There is still the occasional raised eyebrow at the telling of the story notably 10 years ago when an exhibition marked the 30th anniversary - and the humorous suggestion that his elevation to bishop might not have happened had they known.
In the wake of the cancelled game, there was conflict among church parishioners as there was in every other part of New Zealand society. I heard the collection box in one Waikato Catholic Church was returned with nails the following day. At the time it was easy to dismiss the anti-tour protest as simply a vehicle for gangs and troublemakers to don crash helmets and confront police – I know that was a train of thought I was open to at the time. But as the video footage showed, the protesters were a cross section of New Zealand, young, old, European, Māori, Pasifika, men and women. “The whole world’s watching – the whole world’s watching,” they chanted. In South Africa future president Nelson Mandela wasn’t watching – he was still incarcerated on Robben Island but he heard. It was, he wrote, as “if the sun had come out”. A man our senior is also looking through the 1981 exhibition – he had taken photographs at the game. “The police were going to camera shops and asking to see the pictures people had taken on the day so they could identify the protesters,” the man, who elected not to give his name said. “I told them: not without a search warrant!” One of the displays (two are pictured top left and right here) notes the faces in most pictures are not identified in 1981 and encourages people to come forward. Maybe, 40 years on, if they do, it won’t split families asunder again.

An Olympic bonanza
CHAMBER VIEW
Watch this space
By Kelly Bouzaid
The vacant Bunnings building is as we know, a prime piece of real estate at the gateway of Cambridge and pivotal to connectivity for Lakewood and Carters Flat. This highly visual position has been criticised by many for a long time, as “not the right place” for such a large shed although, not too long ago “it was the right place” as it shielded a then undeveloped eyesore. This site in Cambridge has been sitting dormant now for well over a year and whilst there seems to have been interest, no new plans seem likely in the short to medium term with Bunnings continuing to use their space for storage. Whilst there has been much speculation around a community facility, modern day retail opportunity or even a new home for the big red shed, the reality r is that this is private land and comes with a decent price tag and lease complexities. To suggest the council, community or other third party can and should leverage change or signal what is housed there in the future, is commercial naivety. Although, if opportunity presents to influence this, you can be sure there will be a voice to be heard. The Chamber recognises what and how Cambridge encourages and retains businesses in the CBD, let alone how these businesses can be supported are all important considerations. The addition of yet another liquor store, café,
barber or vape store are all current and contentious conversations. Oh, haven’t times changed as we realise the impact this and other key locations could have on our growing Cambridge. Carters Flat, an area that has predominantly attracted commercial/light industrial business is now seeing change, where there is a range of businesses attracting a different sector with a retail component. This has proved problematic as the area has not yet been designed with the consumer in mind, let alone fit for purpose at this point and time. Watch this space. In the lower part of town there is some care and consideration being shown by some of our property owners. The old Lakewood Auto’s site is being developed to house some “cool cats” in our retail precinct creating a point of difference whilst adding to the desirability and overall shopping experience in Cambridge for residents and visitors alike. The footprint of our township is finite and supporting our local stores is essential to retaining a vibrant and diverse heart. The Cambridge Business Chamber are advocates of shop local and own the Totally Locally Brand to which encourages the shop local ethos.

Local woman’s history Virtual big latch on with La Leche League By Viv Posselt
The woman who brought La Leche League to New Zealand 54 years ago was an only child who admits she scarcely knew what a baby was before having five of her own. Scots-born Yvonne Foreman mastered the mechanics of breastfeeding with her first Kiwi-born child, but discovered much more once exposed to La Leche League International (LLLI) in the United States as her family grew. It was there, in Madison, Wisconsin, where she boldly thought she might be able to teach those American women a thing or two, that she found herself learning far more than she could ever have imparted. “I soaked it up like a sponge … all about the philosophy and nurturing side of breastfeeding,” she said. “I learned everything I could, and went through the very strict training to become an accredited group leader affiliated to La Leche League International.” Yvonne and her then husband, Victor Procuto, returned to New Zealand when she was pregnant with their fourth child. After contacting the Cambridge Parents Centre, she was invited to speak to the young mums. “The doctors back then didn’t approve of me doing that because I was a lay person. So, a group of us teamed up to start a formal La Leche League in Cambridge. That was in 1967. Eighteen months later, I was leading one group in Cambridge and two in Hamilton. “It grew like topsy. After a few years, we had more groups, more leaders and more members per capita in New Zealand than in any other country in the world. That meant we had to become more organised, so we tapped into the skills of our members. Some of them were quite extraordinary.” Anationalbodywasformallyestablishedandaccredited to LLLI, with Yvonne becoming the organisation’s first national co-ordinator. Eventually, New Zealand set up its own medical advisory board linked to the League,
Sunday 1st August 12:30pm - 3:30pm
negating the need for the time-consuming communication link between here and the US that meant some questions were answered only after babies had outgrown those problems. There are now groups all over the country, fulfilling the League’s original mission to encourage, inform and support Yvonne Foreman women in breastfeeding their babies. The organisation says while breastfeeding is natural, it does not always come naturally. Early resistance to the movement came on the back of the rigid norms of the day. In the mid-1900s, Yvonne said, new mothers were encouraged to bottle-feed to a strict timetable, and phrases such as ‘demand feeding’ were viewed as slightly fringe, almost hippy-ish. She remained with the League for many years, going on to join the LLLNZ Alumnae Association, which was formed in 2008 after a reunion held in Cambridge. It serves to channel its rich knowledge resources to keep the education and support process going in New Zealand. Many of their number met up for lunch in Cambridge recently. For Yvonne, it’s just another arrow in her quiver. She’s a sometime writer and was with Opera Waikato after being trained as a young woman under Cambridge’s acclaimed Mona Ross. She worked in PR for a major company, applying much of the know-how she accumulated through the League, and was the 1974 recipient of a Waikato Woman of the Year Award. “Breastfeeding hasn’t changed, but society has and that brings other pressures,” she said. “The League still offers reassurance and builds confidence, as it always has.”

Cambridge’s La Leche League wants breastfeeding mums to get behind this year’s Virtual Big Latch On, being held via Zoom at 10am August 6. The event is timed to coincide with World Breastfeeding Week, which runs from August 1 to 7. Last year the Big Latch On was also a virtual event. A Cambridge La Leche League group leader, Debbie Graham, said details are on the group’s Facebook page and Zoom link will be provided to people who make contact Participants can also send a ‘brelfie’ if they prefer – a selfie of participating mums and babies.
The Big Latch On was started by New Zealand’s Women’s Health Action group in 2005 to encourage and support breastfeeding. It has become a global event which in recent years has gone ‘virtual’ with communities everywhere trying to outdo each other in the number of mothers latching on at the same time. Debbie said the Covid-19 pandemic has had both negative and positive effects on breastfeeding levels. “Many mums found it beneficial to be undisturbed at home during lockdown and with the support of their partner. Others, however, struggled because La Leche League supporters couldn’t visit as they Continued on page 13

NO PLANET B
THE AGE OF REASON
Money to watch the world go round
Something’s in the water By Peter Carr
By Peter Matthews
Richard Branson and Jeff Bezos have both recently returned from the edge of space. Virgin Galactic took Branson 86 kilometres away from Earth and Blue Origin with Bezos on board went as far as 100 kilometres. It’s all very exciting, and both men have made inspiring speeches on their endeavours, and there have been a few uplifting tweets as well. I think the impression I get in both cases is that this is rich kids playing with their toys while serious things happen elsewhere. A very quick round up of stories on the net today yields headlines and snippets such as these: Flooded London hospitals ask patients to stay away. Israel to cut 85% of emissions by mid-century. Climate scientists begin debate on vital report. Wildfires surge across US. Thunderstorms leave roads and tube stations flooded in London. ‘Everything is on fire’: Siberia hit by unprecedented burning. The family of elephants trekking across China where swift, deadly flooding this week inundated a network that wasn’t even a decade old, highlighting the risks faced by cities globally. The UK and Ireland are experiencing heatwaves. In the UK, the weather office issued its first-ever extreme heat warning. The Bootleg Fire (they’ve even got names) in Oregon is the US’s biggest wildfire so far this year and has burned more than 340,000 acres. Forest fires have burned through 3.7 million acres of land in the north-east of Siberia. Funerals have been held for lost glaciers in Switzerland and Iceland. (I guess Iceland is going to become a misnomer before too long)
Yes - that would appear to be serious stuff, and that’s only the tip of the (melting) iceberg. It is true that Jeff Bezos has announced a $10 billion dollar fund to be used to tackle climate change. That is good - but is it good enough? I read somewhere that Richard Branson has said that very wealthy people should be spending up to 90% of their wealth on issues such as climate change - although he - well - isn’t. Neither is Jeff Bezos; 90% of his wealth is (currently) $192 billion - and it’s probably gone up a bit since I wrote that. To date Bezos has allocated about 8% of the projected $10 billion so he’s got a way to go. So, is what these guys are doing right? I think it’s probably OK to develop the technology - that is an advancement of human achievement and knowledge, but I do take issue with space tourism. The idea that rich people should pay upwards of a quarter of a million dollars for a few minutes of weightlessness and a nice view doesn’t seem quite right when weighed against the carbon footprint of their joyride. But then I also find it a bit awkward to contemplate the stratospheric wealth of the few alongside the all too common suffering and misery of the many. How about doubling the price of a spacejaunt and spending half the money on patching up some of the damage caused by it?
Cambridge Tree Trust
On the one hand, the Olympics’ empty stadiums and athletes trying their five-yearsof-training best - striving without the urging of a throaty, sweaty and enthusiastic crowds cannot be easy. I imagine this event’s athletes will stand alone as the first, since 1896 in Athens, to be urged on by total silence. Not easy and I feel for them. But that they will perform to their ultimate best is without doubt. And to witness this evening (as I write) the New Zealand bronze medal winner help his goldwinning counterpart to his feet post-collapse after the triathlon is a worthwhile example of the Olympic spirit. But bring yourselves closer to home onto another platform. That of Three Waters. The Mayor of Westland is a shining example of an elected local body leader who is prepared to stand up and be counted publicly. Where he rails, thanks to YouTube, against the alleged dictum of the current government where they offer a pot of gold in exchange for a hands-off scenario with how water should – or should not - be governed. Let us place this into context. The Lord (in whichever form) supplies the base product. We collect it somehow, transport it, consume it and then spit it out again as some form of smelly sewage. Meanwhile that amount that does not gorge out of the household or industrial taps and subsequent drains flows over the diminishing area of rural soakingintensive land, to enter the stormwater system. Just think about this for a moment. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away. Now I am certain that the good Lord did not envisage when he designed the liquid-bearing portion of the heavens, to turn his watery largesse into some form of cost-retrieval fiduciary bucket. But what
is happening is that the government – Hell-bent on scolding us all for a single water control failure in Hawke’s Bay has seized upon a money garnering exercise which will result in approximately a third of the revenue and administration of local body authorities disappearing down the same plug hole that your tooth cleaning froth disappears. And in doing so it has elected to bow even further towards one single ethnic group to declare that the governance (yes, the money arising from this exercise) will be for the control, and no doubt the benefit of, that same single ethnicity. I have no truck with that other than to say this is part of a much wider argument where 16 per cent of the population will have 50 per cent of the controls. Seems a bit mucky to me. Hitherto our local elected representatives have been strangely silent on this matter. Being handed a multi-million-dollar (spend it how you like) nest egg from the government in 2024 will no doubt delight the Chief Executive of the Waipā District Council. His elected governance team have different fish to fry. Including getting themselves elected next year. Perhaps it is time to take a leaf from the visual book of Mayor Brown of Westland and publicly declare their hand. But the recent silence – especially from Cambridge councillors - over the price gouging dictum of a greedy and price land intensification developer perhaps sets the scene as to the ability or capability of these elected grandiose. The election is looming people. Think about it.

Bus fares trimmed
Half price bus travel for Wintec students and staff will apply from next Monday, making fares as low as $1 and cutting the cost to the Wintec campus from Cambridge to $2. The new Bee Card subsidy is funded by Wintec and supported by Waikato Regional Council. The discount applies to Bee Card fares in Hamilton and across the Waikato region at all times of the day and week. Wintec Chief Executive, David Christiansen says he hopes the 50 percent subsidy will encourage more people to use public transport where and when they can. The 50 percent discount for Wintec students and staff also applies to Te Huia, the new Waikato to Auckland passenger rail service. A standard Bee Card fare in Hamilton is $2, but Wintec staff and students who have registered their Wintec concession will pay just $1. Travel between Hamilton and neighbouring towns will also be discounted. Staff and students will be able to travel to Wintec campuses from Cambridge and Te Awamutu for only $2.

Outward Bound, in leaps and bounds Eight days connecting with the land, the sea and each other on the inaugural Outward Bound ‘Activate Leaps and Bounds’ course has seen seven teens and their parents push themselves to their limits and discover their potential through challenges in the outdoors. Outward Bound adapted course manager Caroline Campbell says the course has been designed for teenagers between 13 and 16 years who have a physical disability. “The aim of the course is for the pairs to develop trust and respect and a more meaningful relationship,” says Caroline. “Together with the others in their watch group, they can experience working together as partners as part of a wider team.” Clare Szabo from Cambridge went on the course with her son Thomas, 14, who has cerebral palsy. Clare had been to Outward Bound before on a professional leadership course and was keen to give Thomas the same opportunity. “While having been before did prepare me, what was great was that most of the activities were different and the whole experience doing it with Thomas was also so different. But it did feel a bit like going back home.”
For Thomas, his aim was to meet new people and to try something out of his comfort zone. “Outward Bound was fun and challenging but being challenged was a good part. It was better than I expected, and the instructors were really kind, helpful and supportive,” he says. It’s a sentiment shared by his mother. “It was incredible, and we had the best instructors and to do so many amazing things. Seeing Thomas, and all the teenagers achieve what they did was so inspiring. I also learned just how brave
my son is,” she says. The Leaps and Bounds course gave the participants an opportunity to spend a lot of one-on-one time together. “Being away with Thomas made me realise that we don’t always spend enough quality time together just the two of us, so it’s definitely helped me to make sure I make the most of all opportunities to do that,” says Clare. “We hung out more than we normally do, and it was also great spending time with the other parents and children,” says Thomas. There were some
challenging times for Thomas, including doing the run every morning. Clare found the high ropes the hardest challenge mentally but says having Thomas encouraging her
were “pretty special”. “Outward Bound was such a wonderful opportunity for the two of us to create special memories. I have come home appreciating the simple things in life a lot more.”

TALKING ECONOMICS
Interest and inflation – looking ahead By Peter Nicholl
The age of the ‘selfie’ By Murray Smith, Senior Leader, Bridges Church
pressures. Also, the June quarter CPI increase was higher than most commentators, including the RBNZ, expected. The fact that the experts were taken by surprise will also concern people. Are there more surprises coming? The best thing that the RBNZ could do to alleviate these concerns is to start raising their OCR interest rate from its incredibly low level of 0.25% now. It may seem counter-intuitive, but I think the answers to the questions of how fast interest rates will rise and how high they will go are inversely related. The sooner interest rates start to rise, the less should be the feedback of the recent sharp increase in the CPI into second round price increases and inflation expectations and therefore interest rates will not need to rise as high to keep inflation consistent with the RBNZ’s target. I have seen a number of articles recently that calculate how much rises interest rates will take out of mortgage-holders pockets. For example, ASB calculated that a 1% rise in mortgage rates would ‘suck $3 billion out of mortgage-holders pockets’. But over the last 10 years as Central Banks around the world drove interest rates down, I never saw any articles that calculated how much the drop in interest rates would ‘suck’ out of the pockets of savers. My rough calculation for New Zealand is that a 1% drop in interest rates on deposits and securities would reduce the income of the holders of these financial assets by about $3 billion. That’s right, it is about the same amount. So changes in interest rates have little impact on overall disposable incomes but they do have a big impact on income distribution.
The ‘selfie’ culture is now well and truly entrenched as part of the way we do life. You can’t really get out and about anywhere at all now without seeing people of all ages and cultures, indulging in doing the thing. Having fun with cell phones, ‘selfie’-sticks, GoPros and whatever, creating moments and memories, delighting in the ‘instantism’ technology affords is here to stay! It was back in November 2013, that Oxford Dictionaries announced ‘selfie’ as “Word of the Year”, bestowing their own formal definition on the term “A photograph one has taken of oneself, typically one taken with a smart phone or webcam and uploaded to a social media site.” Isn’t that re-assuring!? Fortified by Oxford Dictionaries’ sanction, ‘one’ can now feel thoroughly comfortable with the practice of taking photos of ‘oneself’ as proper activity - an unspoken ‘given,’ of course being that the setting ought to be appropriate - and safe. Inevitably, to have become crowned as a ‘real word’, evidence must have accrued over time, that the use of ‘selfie’ in everyday vernacular had skyrocketed to the point of it deserving recognition. The rise of ‘selfie’ culture is a modern day phenomenon perhaps caricatured by the song title “Everybody wanna be Somebody”. Nowadays ready access to technology enables our digital, media-crazy, showmyself-to-the-world obsession. Phone in hand, it’s easy to follow the contemporary trait of eagerly desiring to be seen and noticed. And of course why shouldn’t we share ourselves with our friend circle and the world for that matter if they actually find us interesting!?
It’s fine to digitally preserve a funny, special, or freakish ‘selfie’ moment...to a point. On holiday a while ago, I challenged a tourist’s wisdom in attempting his (final?) shot of a lifetime on an ‘opencarriage’ train. The beautiful scenery wasn’t enough... he was intent on ‘enhancing’ the backdrop with his face, disregarding signs warning of the risks in sticking his torso out! Maybe there’s a deeper question to look into here. In Greek mythology, Narcissus was a ‘being’ who gazed at reflections of himself in a pool. Becoming infatuated with his own image and blinded to danger, he fell into the water... and drowned. Is there a point where ‘self-fascination’ topples into ‘narcissism’ and self-absorption blurs our ability to notice the cultural dilemma we’re falling into? The desire to be admired and for significance isn’t wrong, however it becomes skewed by what we seek significance from. Does the ‘selfie culture’ put on display our inner quest for recognition, the need to be noticed and admired just for ‘being’ apart from anything notable we might have achieved? The legitimate, in-built craving for significance that everyone feels, is not psychological. It’s a deeply spiritual longing - we simply can’t be healthy feeling insignificant. Becoming acquainted with who we truly are at a spiritual level and knowing why we ‘matter’ and how we ‘belong’, makes the essential difference. These are issues that can only be taken care of when that “God-space” within each of us is filled by our Creator.

WE THRIVE ON BEING DIFFERENT
People who have bought houses since around 2014 have only seen falling mortgage rates and rising house prices. But rising mortgage rates are now here. What will happen to house prices isn’t yet clear but continuous rises are unlikely in the current environment of rising interest rates, increased supply, slowdown in population growth and specific policy measures. Older people remember the days when mortgage interest rates in New Zealand were around 18- 20%. Since mortgage rates started rising a few weeks ago, some of them have become worried and have asked me if their children could face that same situation in a few years. I am very confident that mortgage interest rates will not be going back to anywhere near those double-digit levels as the inflation pressures in the world are much less strong today than they were back in the 1980s when inflation in New Zealand was around 14%. The RBNZ have said recently that one of the reasons they don’t expect inflation to rise strongly is that ‘inflation expectations are well-anchored’ in New Zealand. I don’t think that inflation expectations are ever ‘anchored’. They have stayed in the same place for some time because they haven’t been subjected to any significant shocks. A boat would probably stay in the same place too even if it wasn’t anchored if it was not subjected to currents, tides or storms. But as soon as any of these things occur, the boat will move – and so will inflation expectations if shocks or uncertainties arise. These things are now happening. Stories about inflation seldom appeared in New Zealand newspapers until a month or so ago. Now there seems to be two or three stories a day that raise concerns about inflationary

Mark and Jem’s amazing Grace
Former Waikato Times editor Venetia Sherson has told the story about her son and daughter-in-law’s experience of surrogacy. Her book, Amazing Grace, published this month, traces the journey of Mark and Jem as they confront the challenge of having a family after cancer looked to have blighted it. Jem, a Hamilton lawyer, was diagnosed with cervical cancer five years ago, and underwent an urgent hysterectomy. Then her sister, Maddy, sent her a text saying “you can have my womb”. The book is a story of two sisters’ love and resilience, but it is also about the hoops couples must jump through to pursue their dream of a family through surrogacy. It is also a story about the men who support women who help those who cannot bear their own child. The book shows surrogacy is not for the faint-hearted in New Zealand. Some of the laws are antiquated (biological couples must adopt their child from the surrogate couple after the birth) and the process is long and drawn out. But changes are in the wind. The New Zealand Law Commission is reviewing rules relating to surrogacy. Jem and Mark’s story has a happy ending. Their daughter Grace Madeleine was born on March 1, 2019. She was the flower girl at her parents’ wedding in Tauranga last year. Jem and Mark are hopeful she will have a brother or sister through another surrogate. Venetia Sherson, who lives in Tamahere, says the book is intended to give couples hope when all doors seem closed.
Venetia Sherson with granddaughter Grace.
“Surrogacy is an act of love. Women who offer to bear other women’s children are hugely generous and understanding of the grief that comes with not being able to have a child.” She has also written another book, which will also be published this year. The Open Door is about The People’s Project in Hamilton, which aims to put an end to homelessness. That book has been co-written with friend and former Waikato Times colleague Denise Irvine. Amazing Grace is available through Amazon and Ingram Spark. It will be officially launched next month. This story has also appeared in the Tamahere forum - tamahereforum.co.nz

Another factor is that the economic fallout of Covid meant some mums had to return to work earlier than they might have otherwise, which also affected their breastfeeding.” She said Zoom messaging and video conferencing helped many members stay in touch, and the Cambridge League numbers remain strong. Debbie, who has been involved with the organisation for over 30 years, said the many benefits of belonging to La Leche League

THURSDAY JULY 29, 2021
Reds push for promotion Cambridge’s Reds are poised to lay out their credentials for promotion to northern football’s next level of competition. If they beat Auckland club Fencibles United on Saturday, the Reds will leapfrog their rivals and become serious contenders to finish in the top two places of the Lotto NRFL second division. The top two clubs go into next season’s first division. Saturday’s match at John Kerkhof Park, at 3pm, will see Cambridge chasing their sixth win in a row. They are the in-form team in the competition, whereas second-placed Fencibles lost 2-0 last weekend to third-placed Beachlands Maraetai. Cambridge’s latest win, a gutsy 1-0 win against lowly Papatoetoe wasn’t the prettiest or the most convincing of their nine wins this
season. The winning goal came after only three minutes when striker Josh Clarkin powered a well-directed header into the Papatoetoe net. As the half wore on, Papatoetoe played themselves into the game, creating a couple of chances and doing enough to show this was not going to be a one-sided affair. In the second half, play went end-to-end and Cambridge were denied a goal by the crossbar and wayward finishing. For the last 20 minutes, willed on by the home crowd, the Reds ground out the result they needed. In the early game, Cambridge U-23s drew 2-2 with Papatoetoe, conceding a late goal when the side looked to have the game won. Goals from William Jackson (29′) and James Wilkinson (32′) helped Cambridge to a 2-1 half-time lead.
Medals, personal bests at swimming champs
As the game meandered towards a Cambridge win, a late free kick gave Papatoetoe the chance to float a ball into the box which was then scrambled home for the equaliser. In the WaiBOP Championship, Cambridge retained their lead in the competition with an emphatic 4-1 win against Te Puke United. Cambridge took the lead after two minutes when defender Sam Garmonsway headed home an inswinging corner. Te Puke replied six minutes later through Andrew Skerten. Winger Jordan Silvester put Cambridge ahead in the 44th minute. In the second half, Haydn Roil scored the goal of the game, winning the ball in the Te Puke box and then bending his shot past goalkeeper Ethan Ramsay. In the 66th minute, Ramsay brought down a Cambridge attacker and Cambridge captain Adam Brady put his side 4-1 ahead from the penalty spot. Player of the Day was midfielder Shaun Richardson. Cambridge women’s team remain in contention for the Waikato Division 2 title after a 3-2 win at Melville United. Cambridge raced to a 3-0 lead within half an hour, through Rachel Hill (2) and captain Steph Upton. They then had to withstand a strong Melville fightback after the Hamilton side scored twice. The women’s competition has come down to a two-club race with Ngaruawahia United. In Waikato Division 4, Cambridge’s title hopes will depend on how they fare against nearest rivals West Hamilton United this weekend. Cambridge will look to reproduce the form of last Saturday when they beat Matamata Swifts 5-2 after trailing 0-2 early in the game.
Josh Clarkin grabs the vital goal for Cambridge.
Scorers for Cambridge were Player of the Day Chris Hill (2), Andrew Myers, Shane Gray and Nicolas Simonunnci. Goalkeeper Saxon Jay-Edwards crucially saved a penalty when the score was locked 2-2. In the over 35s league, both Cambridge teams had to settle for 1-1 draws. Both teams also gave away own goals. Greg Burns scored for the Cambridge D1s in their draw with Northern United while Gary Smith’s fifth goal of the season earned the Cambridge T2s their draw against West Hamilton United. In the WaiBOP Youth League, Cambridge U-15s beat Papamoa 2-0 with both goals scored by Player of the Day William Pratt. The U-13s beat Tauranga’s Blue Rovers 5-1.

A monthly gardening column, courtesy of Amber Garden Centre Plant Plant leafy vegetables now and rotate your crops so you avoid growing the same plants in the same spot each year. Tomato, chilli and capsicum seeds can be planted in trays inside as its too cold outside. Pruning Pruning roses should be completed by the first week of August. Follow with a copper spray to help seal cuts and stop fungal infections. Feed with rose fertiliser and sheep pellets. Trees Complete pruning on trees while they are still dormant. Spraying Timing is critical at this time of the year to prevent disease. Things like leaf curl in stone fruit and black spot on apple trees. Liquid copper applied pre bud burst and 10-14 days later or immediately following rain. Spring bulbs Fertilise flowering bulbs to ensure development of next year’s flowers Ornamental trees Now is the time to plant new trees for shade or flower. All of which are available now. Potatoes Try early potatoes in a bucket. Three per 15 litre bucket. Start undercover and move outside once sprouted. Remember the early varieties are quick growing 60-70 days but can’t be stored for long periods like main crop varieties.
