Waipā votes to go smoke, vape free

By Blair Voorend

Vaping has become an epidemic among Waipā youth, Cambridge High School deputy principal John McDonnell told district councillors this week.

And his call for them to be leaders and limit the supply to young people was heeded.

They voted this week to extend a proposed Smokefree and Vaping policy ban to take in streets adjoining schools.

Vaping has had a massive negative impact on attendance numbers among students,

McDonnell told the Strategic Planning and Policy committee this week.

Students who had been vaping showed a lacklustre attitude in class and the habit led into nicotine and drug addictions, he said.

McDonnell produced a shopping bag filled with $4000 worth of vape products he had confiscated.

He explained that as the products were for people 18 years and over, he could not return them to under-age students.

He said he feared some parents had picked up their children’s confiscated property and returned it to the students.

“Many of them (the products) are small and easy to conceal at school and make it hard to spot them,” he said.

But he said that while vaping is dangerous for students, other issues are making problems as well.

With expensive canisters McDonnell said that many children are sharing them, which he believes is a health hazard.

Four or five years ago he said that it was amongst senior students, year 12-13 students, but now he sees it amongst year nine students, those who are just starting high school. Many of them use high graded

Ollie will wing it...

Ollie the Cockatiel

A “plucky little bird with a mangled leg and twisted body” from Cambridge is set to become the first cockatiel to attempt to traverse the length of New Zealand on Te Araroa, a continuous 3000km walking trail stretching from Cape Reinga to Bluff.

Ollie was hand raised by Robyn Chappell from Bird Rescue Cambridge after his father attacked him in the nest as a young chick.

“He was in very poor shape, bloodied, missing bits of his head, his eyes were black and bruised, and his leg had been dislocated and twisted backwards,” Robyn said.

“We were going euthanise him as he was so mangled but decided to let him die in his sleep in the comfort of a warm bed. But he didn’t die and grew stronger each day.”

Now 18 months old and resolutely refusing to let his disability clip his wings, Ollie is “cheeky, clever and determined”. His leg still faces the wrong way, but he can hop around on his good leg, fly short distances and

talk.

Having overcome the many challenges life has already thrown at him, he is now preparing to leave the nest in September and head to Cape Reinga to begin walking Te Araroa.

Robyn, aka “Hooman Number 1”, who has never hiked or tramped in her life, will be helping him go the distance, transporting him in a special backpack and a shoulder harness.

The pair will sleep in a small tent and DOC huts along the way.

“I’m unfit, overweight and inexperienced, but still have my health, faculties, and teeth – so that’s a good start,” said Robyn, who describes herself as “no spring chicken” and “geographically challenged” and finds the idea of navigating 3000km rather daunting.

But it’s all about Ollie, she says, who will be raising awareness of the trail and its value to New Zealand, while raising money for the Te Araroa Trust.

She says while Ollie is not asking anyone to swan dive into their nest eggs, he is hoping a few good eggs will donate a few dollars through his

nicotine canisters.

“I call for our councillors to be leaders and limit the supply to our youth.”

Deputy mayor Liz Stolwyk said she was interested in making a bylaw around sales of the products and limiting the number of outlets able to sell them.

But mayor Jim Mylchreest said the current laws would not allow that and Waipā would need to lobby central government for stricter laws like those for alcohol and cigarettes.

Council approved the amended smokefree and vapefree policy which will prohibit smoking and vaping in public places.

He’s already begun strutting his stuff through his own Facebook and Instagram pages, where he will be sharing a bird’s eye view of his adventure.

Already proving his social media savviness, on July 28 the sassy cockatiel appeared in an original fashion creation by “Cambridge’s crochet queen” Jill Smith – a stylish pink hiking vest designed to keep his chest warm during wild, windy days out on the trail. A few days later he was captured sporting a new superbird vest and cape, describing himself as “a vision of unbridled avian masculinity”. And this week he was shaking his tail feathers in a gorgeous black number embellished with a silver fern in support of our Olympic Kiwis, who were “really something to crow about”.

Ollie hopes his mammoth hike will inspire all birds, “hooman and feathered” to “get off the couch and go for a walk”.

Social media: dogs’ new best friend

Social media has become an integral tool for owners of lost dogs and resulted in fewer pooches ending up in Waipā pounds.

District Growth and Regulatory Services group manager Wayne Allan made the observation in a report to the council’s Strategic Planning and Policy committee meeting this week.

“Many lost dogs are now being advertised on social media and bypassing the pound,” said Allan.

While there were 58 dogs impounded in the quarter between April 1 and June 30, that was down on previous years. Of these, 48 were claimed by the owner, six rehomed and four put down.

A dog which had been at the pound since December last year and been the subject of legal challenges, was also euthanised.

Security cameras are now in place at both Cambridge and Te Awamutu pounds following ongoing abuse reports against staff.

Driving mystery Waipā motorists are raising an alarm over a driver of what has been described as a silver “Primera type car” which, for several weeks has followed drivers flashing his or her lights in an attempt to make them pull over. Reports of the car have been listed in rural areas around Cambridge, Maungatautari and Roto-oRangi. It is understood the driver has been confronted at least once and complaints have been laid with police.

At least eight drivers have shared their experiences of the driver on social media.

Covid update The Waikato DHB had delivered more than 130,000 vaccinations across the Waikato to yesterday morning, and 60,000 people had been fully vaccinated from a pool of 350,000 people over 16. The Te Awamutu vaccination centre will open in the old Bunnings store next week to carry out 250 vaccinations a day.

Bryce must go, council told

By Blair Voorend

A new district-wide naming policy could see Bryce streets in Cambridge and Kihikihi disappear and John Hewitt Drive in Maungatautari moved to Te Miro.

Two submitters to the proposed Waipā District Council Naming Policy were

adamant the names had to go and gave good reasons when they presented to the council’s Strategic and Planning committee on Tuesday.

The aim of the approved policy is to ensure names of council’s assets tell the story of Waipā and reflect Waipā’s natural, cultural and historic heritage while

Bryce St – should it stay or should it go?

better reflecting the local communities.

And that’s exactly why Bryce Street must go and John Hewitt Drive moved, said submitters Dan Armstrong and Ruth Strawbridge.

Bryce Street is named after John Bryce, a former minister in parliament in the late 1800s. Bryce had no links with Waipā during his time in politics from 1859 to 1887 but then briefly and controversially became the member for Waipā in 1889.

Bryce was chairman of the Native Affairs Committee from 1876 to 1879 and Minister of Native Affairs from 1879 to 1884. Responding to the growing pacifist settlement at Parihaka in Taranaki, led

by Te Whiti-o-Rongomai and Tohu, Bryce passed legislation enabling Māori to be imprisoned without trial.

Strawbridge said that names like Bryce Street

highlight people with very little links to the district’s history and ignore others that did.

The late John Hewitt became Waipā mayor in 1995 after serving on the council since 1989. He was a Te Miro dry stock farmer and his ashes were spread over his farm following his death in December 2011.

Strawbridge and others in the Maungatautari area have long argued for a name replacement from John Hewitt Drive to Te Hiwi Drive, which better reflected the area’s history.

No mention was made of Alan Livingston Drive, named after the former Waipā mayor and Waikato Regional Council chair who has been a sheep and beef farmer at Te Pahu for more than 30 years and attended the same school as former Prime Minister Helen Clark.

Alan Livingston Drive is in St Kilda, Cambridge.

Work on the Cambridge North swale project is nearing an end with the concrete path from the Victoria St blue pedestrian bridge alongside the Waikato Expressway waiting on one little bit to open.

Residents who last year were puzzled about the blue ‘bridge to nowhere’ are now just as confused about the tiny piece of ‘track to nowhere’ looping from Swayne Road around the back of Little Einstein’s Educare.

Orange cones, fencing and ‘danger keep out’ signs are preventing pedestrians and cyclists from going any further.

Waipā District Council says the contractor has been working through a small list of improvements prior to opening to make sure the path and its surrounding planting is “looking its best for residents”.

It has been a busy year for the area with the creation of a stormwater pond near

the Expressway Hautapu entrance/exit to help manage water flows in heavy rains.

Then followed extensive planting alongside the swale and the Expressway finishing with the installation of a red crossing over Swayne Rd from outside the new Joe’s Garage Café.

The final piece of the

John Bryce passed legislation enabling Māori to be jailed without trial.

Committee chairperson Susan O’Regan said the new policy was a way to “empower the community” and give them a say as to what place names best reflect the community they live in.

Name changes will only be done in exceptional circumstances and will not lead to any wholesale changes with more of a focus on a case by case matter, she said.

More compact Swale project almost complete housing planned

By Mary Anne Gill

Waipā’s District Plan is being put to the test again with an application for a non-complying activity in Taylor Street, Cambridge heading for a hearing later this month.

The application, lodged in February this year by Warren and Wendy Hodges, seeks to establish a five-unit compact housing development on one lot in the leafy Cambridge East street.

While the site is in the residential zone and subject to the Compact Housing overlay, it does not meet the minimum 2000m² requirement for compact housing.

Council staff considered the application and approved it with conditions. But given adjacent properties could be affected, a limited notification notice was sent to four neighbours.

Submissions to the proposal closed on July 6 with two of the neighbours opposing the application. It was then referred to the Hearings Panel as council planning staff do not have delegated authority to decide on notified applications where submissions have been lodged in opposition.

One neighbour said the development would have a “major impact” on their quality of living while the other says the application breaks all council rules and shows a “total disregard” for adjoining residents.

Both point to past flooding issues as a reason to deny the application.

Each of the five three and two-bedroom dwellings has an internal garage with another park in front of the garage.

The council’s Hearings Panel will consider the application in Te Awamutu on August 19.

jigsaw is a new commercial centre south of Cambridge Oaks. The developers behind the project are Transland Developments Ltd. Companies Office records show the director as Cambridge identity Kevin Honiss whose other projects include Cowley Drive, Norfolk Downs and Lake View Dr in Karāpiro.

The keep out signs are up while work is carried out to have the area “looking its best”.

Vandals: thanks (half) a million

By Mary Anne Gill

Waipā’s community facilities continue to be targets for the district’s undesirable vandals.

Toilets at Bulmer’s Landing, a freedom camping site overlooking the Waikato River 20kms south of Karāpiro, have been closed for several weeks due to fires set in each of the toilets plus the ceramic pans were smashed in another incident.

In her quarterly report to the council, Community Services manager Sally Sheedy said she hoped improved aesthetics, better design, security and appropriate component selection would lead to a greater respect for the toilets.

Meanwhile there have been ongoing issues at the Te Awamutu Walton Street toilets, with water supply and flushing reliability.

Money has been set aside in the LongTerm Plan for public convenience renewals.

All up the council has spent more than $500,000 on vandalism repairs and maintenance as part of its district-wide Public Convenience Cleaning Contract.

That means ratepayers will be asked to spend more money on the contract.

Several complaints have been received about the quality of toilet cleaning especially around the toilet seat hinges and basin taps.

The contract supervisor for this was deployed to the leaf litter collection which explains some of this, said Sheedy.

“One of the complainants has become

a regular, and somewhat vigilante auditor, whose behaviour is becoming inappropriate. This is currently being monitored,” she said.

The roof of the Cambridge Superloo toilets needs cleaning after the recent heavy leaf fall. That work should be complete soon.

In other vandalism-related matters, the Lake Ngaroto barbeque was stolen late in June while council staff were repairing the tile work around it.

And a flowering cherry tree in central Cambridge was badly vandalised in May. The offender was found but police decided not to take the matter any further.

Staff have carried out remedial pruning in the hope of saving the tree.

The planting programme at Waipuke Park near Karāpiro has progressed with contractors working alongside an archaeologist to plant the first stage of the driveway avenue planting.

A second stage started last month to finish the avenue planting alongside some replacement of failed trees on the lower terrace.

“These replacement trees will have additional infrastructure and soil additives in the ground to assist with water retention,” said Sheedy.

The Cambridge Tree Trust will undertake stage one of the restoration triangles.

“On completion of all the triangles this will provide an ecological corridor for manu between the maunga and the awa,” she said.

Half a century – time to sell

By Steph Bell-Jenkins

With a mixture of sadness and nostalgia, Cambridge businesspeople Graeme and Elaine Haworth are selling two Duke St shops they’ve owned for more than 50 years.

The buildings, 61 and 63 Duke St, are tenanted by Dante’s Fine Foods and Point Break Cambridge.

“Graeme wasn’t really keen to let them go because it’s a bit sentimental,” said Elaine, who has been managing the retail stores’ leases following her husband’s stroke.

“It’s probably easier to sell something if it hasn’t been such a big sacrifice, I suppose, over all the years. But the paperwork’s just got beyond me and this will lessen my load.”

Graeme, 85, has lived in Cambridge all his life and Elaine, 83, moved here when she was eight.

They began dating as teenagers and first entered the local retail scene in the 1950s when Graeme’s father Len died, leaving Graeme to run his Victoria St shop, L R Haworth Ltd, which sold carpet, vinyl and “all sorts”.

“We went into the unknown; we didn’t know how big a job it was going to be,” Elaine said.

Graeme had just returned from King’s College and had been working as a carpet and vinyl layer when he suddenly found himself at the helm of the business, aged just 19.

He and Elaine married in 1959 and had

identical twins a couple of years later.

“They were full on,” Elaine said. “They had reflux and we needed a lot of help from family. Then our son Grant came along.

Having young children was a challenge while running a business.”

To add to the craziness, Graeme joined the Cambridge Volunteer Fire Brigade and eventually became chief fire officer.

“If the siren went off, I knew I had to get down to the shop because Graeme would just take off and it’d be left empty,” Elaine said.

When their thriving business outgrew its original Victoria St premises Graeme and Elaine took out a bank loan to buy a bigger building at 61 Duke St. They later purchased three other Duke St buildings, expanding into furniture, beds, curtains, linen and homeware.

They reckon they could fill several books with stories about their decades in retail, from being swindled out of thousands of dollars to the bustling market days and humming Christmas Eve parties.

“In those days we weren’t just business owners, we were a big happy family and an integral part of the community really,” Elaine said. “And there was a good group of us that we all knew. We had a good social time.”

The couple said they were very proud of what they’d achieved over the years.

“We had a lot of fun,” Elaine said.

“We sure did,” said Graeme.

Elaine and Graeme Haworth reflect on their years in business.

Board hears Slip sliding away... appeal for dirt track

CAMBRIDGE NEWS | 7

By Mary Anne Gill

Cambridge has been identified as the ideal community for a new dirt jump track.

Enthusiasts Jude Eades and Paul Langlands made the pitch for the town at the Cambridge Community Board meeting yesterday.

Dirt jumps are a series of jumps in various lines or runs. A rider jumps off mounds of dirt, usually performing a track in between jumps. They are designed as a playground for all bikes.

The jumps are made in various sizes and technicality to challenge the rider.

Eades and Langlands asked the board to consider asking Waipā District Council to donate a piece of land 5000 square metres or larger with a slight gradient and reasonably sheltered.

They identified four possible options - Behind Carters Flat, Riverside Park, Gil Lumb Park and Cook St Reserve.

Riders would maintain the facility but would need access to water, parking and toilets.

Before Covid-10 the Gorge Road Jump Park in Queenstown, with 40 dirt jumps, attracted dirt jump enthusiasts from around the world. The Queenstown Mountain Bike Club created and maintains the track.

The jump park has been described as “a work of art, a labour of love, and a training ground for some of the world’s best athletes.” Free style mountain biker Matt Jones called them the best dirt jumps in the world.

Cycling interest in Cambridge is already high and BMX action from the Olympic Games in Japan has seen it intensify.

“The skill acquisition and strong links to dirt jumping and associated tricks are learnt, developed and progressed at a dirt jump park,” Eades and Langlands told the community board.

Signs on a fence at Leamington Domain explain the steps Waipā District Council has taken.

By Mary Anne Gill

Well-used equipment in two Leamington playgrounds have been decommissioned for safety reasons following an independent safety audit across Waipā.

The equipment did not meet New Zealand safety standards which represent fundamental minimum best practice in the event of a serious accident or injury

claim.

A timber modular unit, a slide and climbing platform at Leamington Domain and playground elements at Lindsay Park, in Coleridge Street failed the audit.

The elements from Lindsay Park have been removed, fixed up and installed at Leamington Domain to replace the timber modular unit.

The domain playground is

one of the most popular ones in the district.

There is only a seesaw left in Lindsay Park, but Community Services manager Sally Sheedy says playgrounds in Thompson Street and Leamington Domain will be able to cater for community demand.

Two community-managed playgrounds at Te Miro and Rangiaowhia halls were also found to be unsafe

and should be immediately decommissioned.

It is not just playgrounds under the microscope.

Structures such as boardwalks, viewing platforms and bridges are also being investigated.

The report is nearing completion. Sheedy said none appeared to be of immediate risk or concern, but some were non-compliant with the building code.

Going with the flow

Cambridge paddlers feature in Tokyo

Roads depicting the different flows or currents of water will feature in the new Chartwell Investments development west of Cambridge between the Te Awa River Walk and Cambridge Road.

The first two will be Te Rerenga Terrace and Te Au Rere Crescent.

The development already has one tenant, Little Thinkers Kindergarten.

By Steph Bell-Jenkins

By Mary Anne Gill

Waipā District Council granted resource consent for the development in its C3 Growth Cell in March 2020.

Work on Stage 1 is nearing completion which will see 22 lots become available for compact housing and 20 for residential development.

Two public roads will be created within Stage 1.

Chartwell Investment’s only shareholder is former Hamilton businessman and accountant Robert

Gardiner CNZM who was honoured by the Queen in 2015 for his services to philanthropy and the arts.

He established The Chartwell Trust in 1970 as a charitable entity to support the visual arts.

The exhibitions under the name The Chartwell Collection were held at the Waikato Museum of Art and History before moving to long-term loan to Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki.

Library membership continues to soar

By Mary Anne Gill

Waipā library membership continues to rise with 506 new patrons registering between April 1 and June 30.

That takes the total library membership to 37,578 people or 70 per cent of the district population.

Cambridge has 20,872 members and Te Awamutu 15,662.

In the quarter from April 1 to June 30, 70,875 items were borrowed from the Cambridge Library and 41,672 from Te Awamutu.

E-book and eAudiobooks continue to rise in popularity.

In March the libraries conducted a user survey over a month

with 489 responding.

The main reason people used the libraries was to borrow fiction books (79.92 percent) following by non-fiction books (55.78 per cent).

Te Awamutu Library was awarded New Zealand National Library Partnership funding to work with a local artist and a group of teenage patrons to create a mural for the wall in the library’s teen section.

The students created the mural around the theme ‘Celebrating reading’ and is designed to enhance reading for pleasure and inspire community wellbeing. The artist in charge was Theresa Siemonek from Enrich Plus in Te Awamutu.

Cambridge sprint canoeists Max Brown and Kurtis Imrie were set to achieve their dream of competing at the Olympic Games yesterday as this edition of Cambridge News went to press.

The pair, coached by threetime Olympic medallist Tim Brabants, competed in the men’s K2 1000m heats.

Max, originally from Whanganui, and Kurtis, who hails from Wellington, moved to Cambridge in 2018 when Canoe Racing New Zealand moved its training base from Auckland to Lake Karāpiro.

Emailing from Tokyo last weekend Max, who tutors music at Cambridge Middle School and has just bought a house in Cambridge, said he and Kurtis were “doing really well”.

“It’s really hot over here but we feel like we have adapted fast,” he said.

“The course and Olympic village are amazing. Feeling privileged to be here!”

They are the only men in the six-strong New Zealand canoe sprint team led by multi-gold winning Lisa Carrington.

He said he and Kurtis had finished a three-week training camp in Komatsu last Friday and felt their boat was “running really well.”

In 2019 the duo reached the A final at the ICF World Cup event in Poznan, Poland, and later that year finished joint-sixth in the B final at the World Championships.

Max Brown was looking forward to competing in Tokyo this week.

NO PLANET B

Time to take a lead?

By Peter Matthews

The biggest manufacturer in the world of plant based meat is called Beyond Meat. The founder of Beyond Meat is called Ethan Brown, and he has said a tax on meat (animal meat, that is) would encourage people to cut their consumption of animal-based products.

He says it could help emerging markets to invest in plant based protein.

When I read this earlier today my first thought was that any politician or public figure who made such a suggestion in this country would find themselves in very hot water indeed.

The recent ‘Howl of a Protest’ would pale into insignificance by comparison to the flames of outrage which would be ignited even by the proposition, at government level, of a tax on meat.

Then I wondered whether it might, in fact, already have been suggested, and it turns out that it has. In January 2019 a panel of international experts, co-chaired by Professor Boyd Swinburn of Auckland University and Professor George Dietz of George Washington University, called for a tax on red meat.

The report claimed that such a tax would address the greatest threats to human and planetary health - obesity, under nutrition, and climate change.

Big companies make big profits by encouraging consumers to behave in ways which are not good for them, or the planet. On the other hand, many farmers work tirelessly to ensure their farms produce the best food possible in the most sustainable way they can. The trouble is - if that food is meat and dairy - they are, according to many experts, on the wrong road.

According to Professor Boyd Swinburn, agricultural production accounts for 50% of greenhouse gas emissions in New Zealand, and foods high in saturated fats, sugar and salt, including red meat, are the biggest cause of ill health and premature death.

This is not a popular subject in this country - and with good reason; agriculture is the backbone of our economy, and there are many individuals and communities who would suffer if production were to be cut whether by taxes on certain produce or a drop in demand.

However, it is clear to anyone who takes an interest, that with regard to food production, things cannot continue as they are. Perhaps meat and dairy farming in New Zealand will be able to ‘fly under the radar’ for a while, or maybe our meat and dairy produce could be seen as ‘premium’ on the world market, thus attracting higher prices during the coming time of falling demand. And fall it will, if the current zeitgeist persists.

Would it be heresy to suggest that now might be a good time for those involved in agriculture in New Zealand to begin to investigate alternative crops? I’m sure this is happening already, but I wonder if the momentum needs to pick up a bit.

Kiwis are generally pretty good at this stuff, taking the lead, setting the trend.

Is this an opportunity for New Zealand agriculture to take the lead, or are we not yet ready?

DOWN WITH THE KIDS

The nuclear option

Here’s an idea: did New Zealand make a big mistake on June 8, 1987? That was the year and the month, of course, that New Zealand banned anything nuclear from our island. In the aftermath of the Greenpeace sinking - and with the antiVietnam war movement along with a strong cultural environmentalism building - Labour PM David Lange spearheaded the New Zealand Nuclear Free Zone Act. A recent book by computer scientist J. Storrs Hall, however, has caused me to question whether this was the best idea. The book - “Where’s my flying car?” - is a memoir of “future past”; an exploration of why 2021 looks nothing like the utopian, technologically enabled future imagined by science fiction writers (and politicians) of the 50s and 60s. A lot of the discussion focuses on that fact that maybe we got the shape of the sheer technological advancement of the 21st century wrong. As Peter Thiel says: “We wanted flying cars, instead we got 140 characters.” But is being able to beam your presence through fibre optic cables across the world a suitable replacement for a hovering Prius?

Storrs Hall argues no - and, what’s more, that the slowing pace of technological advancement from the 70s onwards is due not to infeasibility but rather cultural forces and bureaucratic reluctance.

His main target is “green fundamentalism” - a misanthropic quasi-religion that believes human agency over the natural world is fundamentally bad - and that is quick to dismiss technological advancements on the grounds that they are messing with nature.

Storss Hall also raises the question of whether nuclear power was perhaps unjustly demonised by these culture forces. Acute Radiation Syndrome killed 0 –that’s right - 0 people at Fukushima, while the radiophobic evacuation and displacement killed over 1000. Chernobyl - that other big nuclear disaster - killed 43 people.

Renewable energy is getting much cheaper,

OUR COMMUNITY AND HEALTH HUB

By Matteo Di Maio

which is a good thing. But there are still inefficiencies; solar power generates the most Watts at midday, which is when we least need energy.

Wind and Hydro are just as temperamental. Nuclear power produces no greenhouse gas emissions and yet runs all day, every day.

In New Zealand, coal use has recently jumped in line with a decrease in hydro capacity - up to 1,031 GWh from coal in March 2021. The government’s proposed Lake Onslow “pumped hydro” battery would cost around $4 billion and hold a capacity of 5000 gigawatts. In Wyoming, Bill Gates is funding the construction of a Natrium-cooled nuclear reactor - part of a new generation of smaller, safer, cheaper, and less wasteful nuclear power plants - the first real innovation in the area in decades. The cost is an estimated $1 billion USD. For the same cost as the pumped hydro scheme, New Zealand could build two, maybe three such smaller nuclear reactors - generating about 1116GWh a month; enough to cover the coal shortfall, certainly. Gates, for his part, says nuclear energy will “absolutely be politically palatable again.” In fact, despite the negative cultural lens on nuclear power, it’s actually one of the safest forms of energy generation. According to Our World in Data, there were 0.07 deaths per TWh of power generated for nuclear energy, in contrast with 32.72 for brown coal, 24.62 for coal and 2.82 for gas. Solar has the lowest at 0.02.

Although New Zealand has nuclear-free legislation, it covers only nuclear-propelled ships, nuclear explosive devices and radioactive waste.

It doesn’t explicitly prohibit the development of a power station - only popular opinion does that.

Is nuclear power the answer? Maybe. Maybe not.

But it does seem counter-productive that we’re not even asking the question.

Interestingly, judging from the conversation, both Rotorua and Taupo commercial operators were indicating sensible and affordable packages - where for a stay of more than just two nights decent ‘all in’ arrangements and ‘free’ breakfast are the order of the day. My daughter and her son visited recently and balked at paying $28 each for breakfast in their tourist hotel in New Plymouth. The discussion then centred upon Queenstown whose high-profile mayor constantly beats the drum of how attractive his area is - but fails to mention that commercial operators in that area are caught in a warp of high prices, huge landlord incomes and the inability to replace low-paid foreign worker with Kiwis who have a different slant on the exchange of labour for cash in the hand.

Which then reflects on the real problem – labour in the tourism and hospitality industries. Where the disappearance of cheap overseas labour and the comfort of easy-toobtain WINZ payments causes the industries to be caught in a trap of having to pay more for labour against a reluctance of Kiwi travellers who resist price gouging operators.

As the nurses struggle for sensible pay equity, it is apparent that the government does not have the wherewithal or capability of addressing this wider dilemma in an equitable manner. The drive towards sensible base pay rates versus the needs of the market by both providers and consumers is bringing the nation to the brink of internal war. Not of the military type but of a social morass that cannot be settled until the labour market has a layer of moderately paid labour for whom serving food, pulling pints and picking apples are reflective of both love and necessity.

There are times when one just must stop and marvel at what is around us. The sheer splendour of this lovely country starts to set the mind wandering at what we have – and moreover what we do not appreciate.

Sunday was one of those ‘wandering’ days.

It was a gloriously sunny day with a very blue and equally clear sky. And wandering over the Kaimai hill to lunch at a friend’s retirement village in Bethlehem the first moment of joy was that there were no large and slow trucks clogging the steep slopes of the that hill. Even truck drivers need a day off and we were thankful for it. And on the way back, cresting the brow, and being entranced by the sheer beauty of the vista of the sun drenched plain of the Waikato rolling out before the car.

During lunch with several friends, we discussed together how we were channelling our disposable income in enjoyment terms. As in not travelling overseas and directing our out-of-home experiences towards enhanced use of our own country.

We all threw our observations into the hat – or rather on to the lunch table – with the sun streaming in from the terrace and the glistening waters of Tauranga Harbour reflecting the rays of the sun. And discussed the attitude of tourism operators – static or mobile – and their commercial attitude to how they can attract Kiwis to wander the plains, valleys and hills and be divested from their cash.

Interestingly – and remember this was a group of retired citizens – we canvassed those towns and commercial operators who were ready to do deals. Or simply put which town or region really wanted to catch (and more importantly retain) visitors from not too far away. Given that international tourism is not exactly dead but is most certainly in limbo for a long period.

Wananga treasures on show

With Matariki 2021 celebrated just last month, a new exhibition of taonga from the past at Te Wānanga o Aotearoa in Te Awamutu is helping show the way forward for the organisation over the rest of the Māori new year and beyond.

The exhibition Te Kōpuni Kura: Collected treasures of Te Wānanga o Aotearoa is being held at the Apakura gallery in Factory Rd for at least the next few months. The public is welcome to see the show. It follows an earlier smaller exhibition with the same name at the museum.

Te Kōpuni Kura (collection of treasures) is TWoA’s art collection started in the 1980s

through the acquisition of tauira (student) and kaiako (teacher) work. It now holds more than 1000 pieces of toi (art).

The exhibition, featuring selected works, highlights the organisation’s history and unique character, and panels tell the story of artists and academics involved in establishing TWoA. “At a time of reflection this is a perfect opportunity to connect with our history and to remember the many people who dedicated and persevered in order to realise the dream that is Te Wānanga o Aotearoa,” says Aisha Roberts, Poutiaki Toi based at Apakura.

“These works, like many throughout Te

Kōpuni Kura, capture the essence of our uniqueness and our identity as a wānanga.”

Aisha Roberts says the exhibition – at the site of the original Waipā Kokiri Arts Centre - is timely.

“As we start the new year, let the stories of our past be the inspiration for our future, let our uniqueness be the power that defines our greatness, and let the arts grow and develop in the world, to be an inspiration for all. Tukua te toi, kia tupu te toi, kia whanake te toi ki te ao, hei hiringa whakaaro mō te katoa.”

She says that having this time to reflect is important because it reminds staff of the

legacy that they are now a part of a legacy that they are adding their own contributions of consequence to. “I for one am proud to be a part of that.”

Aisha adds that Te Kōpuni Kura is a constant reminder of the organisation’s history, its unique character as a wānanga, and its identity.

“Like whakairo, tukutuku and kowhaiwhai on a wharenui, our artworks tell the stories of who we are and where we have come from.

“They transform our buildings, making them wānanga, places in which to learn and engage in a uniquely Māori way.”

In the driver’s seat…

There’s a lot more to a milk tanker than meets the eye.

And Fonterra has been proving that with a series of road shows where the Fonterra Good Together tanker are shown to the public.

One was held at the Cambridge Farm Source store on Thursday.

The tankers have changed a lot in the 19 years that Neville Warner has been driving them. “There have been a lot of advancements in technology especially” says Warner.

In the past, milk tests were conducted by the driver; “we used to do the milk samples tests manually – just samples out of a jug. Now everything is pretty much automatic, which is very efficient” he says. The trucks themselves are also very fuel efficient.

Safety is prioritised in every part of the tanker – the truck can monitor the driving and offer feedback and the seat will even vibrate if the driver starts to nod off.

A usual shift for a tanker driver is 11 hours long. After five and a half hours at the wheel, drivers must take a mandatory break.

Driver Jas Singh says that he gets a good work-life balance being a Fonterra driver. “There is no long-haul driving, and we often get to take the back roads rather than the main highways”.

Singh explains that “In a shift, we can collect milk from up to 35 farms, but during the flush

(the peak milk season) you’re not going to so many because the milking volumes are much higher.

The flush runs from October to November usually, by December milking tends to dry off.”

The regular truck tanks can hold up to 11,000 litres of milk, while the trailer tankers can hold up to 19,000 litres.

If you want to try your hand at driving a tanker, you can head

along to one of our Good Together Tanker Roadshows and test out the tanker simulator.

“The simulator is harder than driving a real tanker!” says Scott Martin.

Tanker drivers Scott Martin and Jasminder Singh (right) were accompanying the Fonterra Good Together tanker at the Cambridge Farm Source store on Thursday.

Rotary retains comms award

The Cambridge Rotary Club has been presented with the Rotary District 9930 Communication Award for the second consecutive year.

Judged from the Rotary clubs in the district, the accolade is presented to the club that has the most effective communications across all media.

“The award entry comprised an extensive communication report supported by a comprehensive folder of media collateral,” said the club’s public image lead, Roger Gordon.

“The media assessed includes website, social media and print publications.”

The now former Cambridge Rotary Club president Bev Maul-Rogers said they were delighted to have the award back for a second year.

“There are 49 clubs within District 9930 and I don’t know how many actually put forward a nomination,” she said. “The award is presented annually to the club who through the use of a range of communication tools can show that they have excelled in increasing the profile of Rotary. Facebook posts were loaded every week, we had our website course which was regularly updated, and many news media stories.

“Rotary’s 2020/21 District Governor Grant Spackman was glowing in his praise of the way Cambridge had spread the work of Rotary and the club,” Bev added.

“Apparently the decision by the judges was unanimous.”

The club was presented with a trophy and a certificate.

FAITH IN WAIPĀ

Hope…and peace

By Murray Smith, Senior Leader, Bridges Church

Last week driving through the Coromandel ranges I saw the usual toll of roadkill that unfortunately you’re likely to see along the journey. But this time on a couple of occasions, I saw a very bizarre sight accompanying it.

Someone had got helium filled balloons like the ones you might purchase at a hospital gift shop and tied them to the roadkill. The slogans on the balloons hovering above the roadkill read “Get well soon.”

Now, barring divine intervention (which is definitely something I happen to believe in), there wasn’t much hope for these hapless creatures getting well again.

I wasn’t clear if this was the work of some person possessed of an overdeveloped sense of civic duty, a morbid sense of humour, or a boundless sense of irrational hopeful optimism.

It brought to mind a publication’s recent headline, “Our culture is in the grip of hopelessness”.

Observations provoking this conclusion referred to life’s imperfections - loss, depression, despair, uncertainty, fears and the turmoil our planet is labouring under in so many ways. Understandably, for many, the future may look dismal and pointless… brooding fatalism clouds over the brave efforts of many to adapt an outlook of positive expectation.

Hand in hand with the claim that many people are experiencing loss of hope, was the acknowledgement that a lack of peace is pervasive at every level of society - amongst youth, millennials, middle aged and older people.

Sadly, statistically we are looking at more and more very young children too, who

are exhibiting a loss of hopefulness… and peace.

A British newspaper once sponsored a painting competition. The brief was that entrants had to depict ‘hope and peace’. Inevitably of course many of the entries displayed a range of predictable themes like calm sunsets and restful landscapes. The winning entry was surprising because it featured stormy raging seas pounding coastline cliffs.

It seemed incongruous - that is until you looked really closely. In the crevice of a craggy rock face was a little bird on its nest.

It was sitting calmly, seemingly indifferent to the tempest surrounding it.

This painting won because it epitomised hope… and peace. It was a perfect juxtaposition. In spite of a howling gale the little bird was at rest… the storm would abate, and life would go on.

One of the brilliant truths in the Bible is that it provides a picture of hope and peace being abundantly available now - not only for this life but in the one to come. It’s both present and future, speaking of an eternal reality that like an anchor, holds us steady in the face of this life’s storms… when our minds are in turmoil, hope and peace sustain us, silencing fears.

Here’s a line that puts it well, ‘If being a Christian is of value to us now only in this life, we’d be the most miserable of creatures.’

1 Corinthians 15:19 Christian faith is about a relationship with God, now in this life… discovering hope, peace and a quiet confidence that holds us steady through life… but then beyond that awaits a wonderful eternity of unbroken, unending perfection.

I can’t go too much further without mentioning the incredible results on the Tokyo rowing course over the past week.

I just so happened to be overlooking Lake Karāpiro with my good friend Peter Carr watching the gold medal finishes of Emma Twigg and the men’s eight online.

I’ve spent 18 years watching rowing from my office and these incredible results are a testament to these very dedicated athletes and even more special is that many of these athletes call Cambridge their home.

A welcome home celebration will be arranged on their return, a date will come out shortly.

Congratulations are in order this week to the Fonterra Dairy Factory in Te Awamutu for the official opening of their wood pelletfuelled plant.

It was a pleasure to celebrate with you.

With the busy season now underway they are chuffed with their environmentally improved plant. If you are interested there is an online webinar coming out shortly on the journey that Fonterra embarked on.

I was also pleased to be part of the official opening of the synthetic track at the Cambridge Jockey Club. A great turn out to welcome Winston Peters who was there to officiate.

Now, many of you know I’m no horse expert but it is very pleasing to see Cambridge is setting the standard for the country and offering world class facilities yet again.

Now, on the business side of things……

Hot on the agenda at council this past week was the smoke and vape free policy that went out for public consultation earlier this year.

If you submitted on this proposal, chances are that you fully supported our public places to be smoke and vape free, in fact 85 per cent of you.

This will affect our main streets, parks and reserves, public toilets etc and will be enforced from September 1.

Thanks also go to Deb, Rob and Ryan our

local police, along with the original members of the CCTV camera group who met last week to continue improvements to our cameras. Suffice to say recent ram raids to local businesses are extremely frustrating.

Kelly and Tania from the Cambridge Chamber of Commerce and I will be working alongside these groups to ensure we keep the momentum going.

Now, did you know that every quarter we meet with representatives from our senior community? Our super aged! This is an opportunity to share updates but also for our seniors to connect with us and pass on their thoughts and wisdom. Groups such as Greypower, RSA, Rebus, Tree Trust and Resthaven are represented around the table.

Earlier this week I also attended the Regional Land transport meeting where Waka Kotahi confirmed that work has started on the Cambridge to Piarere SH1 Corridor safety measures.

It was concerning to hear that the Waka Kotahi budget is likely to be decreased by 12 per cent nationally – watch this space as to how this might affect the Waikato.

If you are interested in learning a little more about council, jump onto council’s website and take a look at one of the weekly agendas.

This week’s Strategic Planning and Policy is worth a read, look at waipadc.govt. nz/our-council/agendas-and-minutes.

Remember there are now free computers at the Cambridge Library too!

Have a view on the national water reforms? Feel free to email me Liz.stolwyk@ waipadc.govt.nz I’ll be at the Trash n Treasure this Sunday August 8 near the Lions Caravan from 10am – 11.30am.

While I do watch some interesting conversations on Cambridge Facebook pages, there is nothing better than an old fashioned in-person catch up!

Working bee: you can help

Predator Free Cambridge Community Coordinator Through i-Site at the Cambridge Town Hall, Predator Free Cambridge provides rat traps and tunnel boxes (pictured right) for a koha donation.

The traps are humane-kill approved, easy to set and no poison is used - making them a popular way to target rats.

The traps are literally flying out the door as more people want to get involved and help protect our native wildlife and also remove unwanted pests from their properties.

Ship rats are agile climbers and raid nests for eggs and chicks. Larger Norway rats are good swimmers and burrowers and are often found in the compost bin.

Rats are predators of native wildlife and spread disease.

They eat crops, contaminate food supplies, chew through electrical wiring, farm equipment and do general property damage.

In wintertime, they may be living in your roof space,

lurking in the wood pile or moving into the garden shed to stay warm and look for food.

The reason rats are such a problem though is their sheer numbers. They are prolific breeders that can breed up to five times a year and have an average of eight pups per litter. That’s a lot of rats!

Even in urban areas rats are present in huge numbers but because they are nocturnal and secretive, they often go unnoticed. The good news is that they don’t stray too far from their home and if you have a trap in your backyard, you can get rid of them.

To keep up with the demand, a tunnel box working bee is planned on Sunday at the undercover skate rink at Leamington Domain on Tennyson Street from 9am to noon.

The goal is to make 150 tunnel boxes with the help of the community. It’s a family friendly event to ‘bang out a few boxes’ to help out, learn some basic backyard trapping skills and go home with your own tunnel box and trap to make a difference.

To participate, bring a

hammer.

The venue is undercover so the event will go ahead rain or shine.

To make it easy, volunteers Dave Callaghan (Cambridge Menzshed), Brian Cooper and Dave Wilson (Dave’s Lawn Mowing) have done the hard work by cutting timber and mesh to size so the boxes can be easily assembled on the day.

Supplies have been purchased through funds from Waipa District Council, who are big supporters of the work done by Predator Free Cambridge around town.

Winter Wonderland

The final round of the first Back to the Future Teams event at the Cambridge Bridge Club last week featured a winter wonderland theme.

Ten teams entered and played in a Round Robin tournament playing with a different team member each week.

The Snowmen, Kate McFadyen, Clare Coles, Kevin Whyte and Gwyn Lobb won nine out of nine rounds and took out the

competition and they were also second in the fancy dress competition. In second place with seven wins were The Icicles, Anna Kalma, Pam and Ian Moore and Peter Daffurn.

The Best Dressed Team were the Ice Queens.

PICTURED RIGHT: The Ice Queens were judged best dressed at the bridge club night.

Preparing for an Emergency The Citizens Advice Bureau website has some excellent information about preparing for an emergency. www.cab.org.nz Emergencies may be natural phenomenon (floods, earthquakes etc) or caused by humans (exposure to hazardous materials, explosions, industrial accidents etc).

Emergency services will be on the scene after a disaster, but in the immediate aftermath, they may not be able to get to everyone. Therefore, it is important that everyone plans to look after themselves for at least three days.

In general, your household should: • create and practice a Household Emergency Plan, including agreeing on a place where everyone in the household can meet up.

• have an Emergency Survival Kit at home with enough supplies for at least three days.

• have a Getaway Kit for each member of the household in case they must leave home in a hurry or are required evacuate - if a household member works then make sure they have a getaway kit at work.

• practice your plan, including walking any evacuation routes.

Your Emergency Survival Kit and Getaway

Kits should have essential items such as water, food, clothing, footwear, sanitary items and first aid equipment. You will also need a radio and torch, a means of cooking and an emergency toilet.

Try to always have additional supplies of any medication that a household member may need, as it may be difficult to get repeat prescriptions.

Keep important documents eg, passports, driver licences, insurance policies in an easily accessible place.

If you have a car, think about putting together a car emergency kit in case you are stranded away from home.

You are welcome to visit us at Citizens Advice, 62 Alpha Street, Cambridge between 9:00 and 4:30 on weekdays, telephone 07 827 4855 / 0800 367 222, or send an email to cambridge@cab.org.nz

Scholarship to aid urban forests research

The latest recipient of the $6000 Dr Stella Frances Scholarship says her thesis is a particularly challenging, exciting and novel project that will add to the story of underground life within the human ecosystem, namely urban cities.

Grace Mitchell, a 22-year-old University of Waikato Master’s of Science (Research) student majoring in ecology and biodiversity, is investigating mesofauna (small soil organisms such as mites and springtails) and micro-organisms in the restored forests of eight New Zealand cities - Hamilton, Tauranga, New Plymouth, Wellington, Nelson, Dunedin, Christchurch and Invercargill.

She will be familiar to News readers. Grace was a merit award winner in the 2017 Waipā Youth Awards when the Te Kowhai born student attended St Peter’s school.

Environmental Performance Committee Chair and Waikato regional councillor Kathy White said the work Grace was doing on urban forests was invaluable.

“She’s a writer and leader in her community who is inspiring others, and we love to reward and celebrate those successes.”

Grace’s studies are part of a larger research project called PCaN: People, Cities & Nature, which has other postgraduate students contributing their work in the same restored forests on birdlife, lizards, plantings, predators, larger insects, nematodes (roundworm), Māori values and community connections.

“The results created between our complementing thesis projects will create a holistic picture of biodiversity and human value in the restored forests which exist in our major

cities,” said Grace, who received her scholarship at last week’s council meeting.

“Forest restoration is a new field in science, and the concept of urban forests is also extremely novel. The content of this project is unlike any other research in the world today.”

The forest patches being studied vary with regards to time since restoration work started. Grace said the data she is gathering should provide interesting insights into how the different soil organisms rebuild and colonise the soil under the increasing influence of human disturbance and urban sprawl.

“Every city and every site is unique, so figuring out the patterns that equate to a functionally diverse soil is a complicated process but a really exciting one too.”

The Dr Stella Frances Scholarship, jointly sponsored by the regional

Grace Mitchell (centre) was presented with the Dr Stella Frances Scholarship by Waikato Regional Chair Russ Rimmington and Councillor Kathy White.

council and the Department of Conservation, was started in 2005 in memory of the well-known and highly respected environmentalist, regional councillor and conservator for DOC who died in August 2003.

The $6000 grant is awarded to help with the expenses of masterslevel research and study in the fields of natural and physical sciences, human perspectives on the

environment, environment management practice or economics and technologies.

“I believe it is so important to encourage our young women to enter traditionally maledominated fields, whether that be in science or postgraduate study in general,” said Grace.

“My course of study will generate several scientific publications that can help me achieve my dream career

of working as a science writer and illustrator.

“Dr Stella sounds like a person that I would have seen as a genuine inspiration and role model. She had a fantastic ability to connect with tangata whenua, local communities and government departments alike, and I think these partnerships and the sharing of information is vital for success in environmental stewardship.”

On the beat with Senior Constable DEB THURGOOD

The scourge of graffiti I hope you have had a good week. There’s something about graffiti (aka tagging) that not only makes a town look untidy, but also reduces the feeling of safety in a community.

People graffiti for different reasons. Some do it to show their territory, or simply leave their mark on a place as they pass through.

Some do it to represent a specific gang.

The medium varies from vivid marker, to chalk, ball point pen to spray paint. In select cases it moves into being art where permission is granted for a wall to be tagged to act as a mural. The former categories are the ones which I wish to address, however.

Taggers generally have their own specific tag that they use all the time. This helps with identification of the offenders. They sometimes work as part of an unofficial crew, spraying their own tag first, then those of their crew adjacent.

When I worked in Hamilton City, I once identified a male to whom we attributed over 300 separate incidents of tagging on public and private property throughout the city.

The cost of removal of those tags reached the tens of thousands of dollars.

There is a specific charge of Wilful Damage (Graffiti) under the Summary Offences Act 1981, Section 11(1)(a) for this offence. It carries a penalty of 3months imprisonment and/or a maximum fine of $2000.

The removal of spray painted tags from our local buildings and public amenities similarly creates a cost for the Waipā DC and private building owners. The tags themselves can also be unsightly and offensive at times. The offensive tags have started appearing in Cambridge of late, one example being penises being sprayed on roadways and other public places.

Graffiti also becomes offensive when it is used not as a tag, but to spray paint abuse aimed at an individual or business.

Police are aware of this happening on two occasions in May, to the mobile plant stall next door to BP on Shakespeare Street in Cambridge.

In that case, not only is the graffiti unsightly for the public and necessitating repair to the plant stall itself, but more importantly deeply distressing to the people it targets. If you have any information with regards to the person responsible, please contact 105 and reference file 210519/9821.

If you see graffiti in a public place, report it to Waipa District council via the submission form on their website .

Council will remove the tag as soon as possible. Where tagging is on private property, it is the building owner’s responsibility to remove it. You should also report to 105.

Owner Graeme Purser works along side his daughter Heather Savill who is also store manager.

The pair have been working together for the past 14 years with Heather joining her father a year after he bought the business. For Graeme it was a way to not only grow his business but to keep it in the family and

make it a real family affair.

“I’ve always been encouraged in getting the next generation involved in business and that’s where we want to see this going as we keep it in the family with a family environment.” But while the business started off as a father and daughter team it has since grown with an extra four staff which they are growing to eight.

The team currently consists of

Cathy Williams, Lois Sargison, Jenny Bird, Kahnn and Issac Wheatley. The new staff will cover the expanding aspects of the business with one point of difference being an interior designer. Heather said that having an interior designer on board will be a great benefit to customers and add to an already exceptional service the Guthrie Bowron Cambridge team provides.

Curtains, blinds or shutters When choosing the right product, you not only have to look at fabric, texture and pattern, you also need to think about the type of window treatment your room needs.

Ferguson and Rogerson training partnership

By Joshua Smith, Harness News Desk

It’s been a whirlwind couple of weeks for Dylan Ferguson.

From the high of winning the Waikato Horse of The Year with She Reigns for employer Graeme Rogerson, to the low of watching his partner Jo Stevens recuperate in hospital after a riding incident, Ferguson has experienced a flurry of emotions of late.

But he ended the season in pleasing fashion, winning behind stable representative Meetmeinsorrento at Alexandra Park on Friday night, recording Rogerson’s 25th training win of the season and his 33rd driving success of the season.

“It was a good win, but it was a pretty decent drop back in grade for him,” Ferguson said. “On form he was the best horse in the race, and he proved that.”

Ferguson was also pleased with the stable’s season tally, its highest in several years.

“We had some nice horses race throughout the year and have had a good season,” he said. “We won’t be resting on our laurels, we want to go better than that this season.”

Ferguson is now looking forward to the new season, and the next step in his career, after officially joining Rogerson in a training partnership at the commencement of the new term.

“I am looking forward to it,” said Ferguson, who first started working for the Hamilton stable as a teenager.

“I worked a bit for him (Rogerson) during my school holidays and then worked there for two years before I went to Australia.

“I have been back here for three years now, so it is good to get a bit of recognition for the work I put in.”

The stable has nearly a dozen yearlings in work and Ferguson is hoping a couple of them can emulate the deeds of stablemate Classy Operator,

who was runner-up in the Gr.1 Young Guns Cardigan Bay Stakes (1700m) last season.

“We have got some nice, young stock coming through so hopefully we will be able to build off that,” he said.

While his professional life is on an upward trajectory, Ferguson’s personal life is starting to get back to normal with his partner Jo Stevens return from hospital.

A trainer in her own right, Stevens was hospitalised for more than a fortnight after falling off her showjumper last month, and Ferguson said it is a relief to finally have her out of hospital and back home.

“Jo is good and she is home now,” he said. “It’s all about getting back into the swing of things now and back to a bit of normality.

“I am looking forward to some nicer weather. When the spring comes around it is always an exciting time for racing.”

Wake boarders riding high

Cambridge wake boarders Phoebe Buckley and Luke Runciman (pictured right) have been named in the Wake NZ team for the world champs to be held in Rieti, Italy next year.

The two junior riders will compete in the 11-14 years category.

Selected in the open divisions are reigning New Zealand open men’s champion Paul Maguire, open men’s riders Regan Carlyon, Tony Evans and Francesco Hazelwood, and open women’s riders Charlotte Broadbent and Andrea Lilley.

Daniel Kanters, Ethan Ring and Casey Ward will compete in the age 15-18 year category while Gavin Broadbent and Bryan Simpson will represent the veteran men.

Wakeboarding is a water sport in which the rider, standing on a wakeboard (a short board with foot bindings), is towed behind a motorboat across its wake and especially up off the crest to perform aerial manoeuvres.

MORTGAGE MATTERS

Why use a Mortgage Broker?

By Gavin Lynch – Yes Mortgages In the present loan market, most lenders are changing their criteria in regards to what, how much and to whom they lend. This makes it even more important to use a mortgage broker so you know you are getting the right mortgage and right lender to suit your needs.

I believe every client has a unique borrowing scenario and time needs to be taken with the client to understand and analyse this, so a correct lending plan and structure can be put in place to achieve goals.

In this column, I want to explain briefly the role of the mortgage broker and what I can offer.

The key role of the mortgage broker is to make the whole loan process easier for you, the client. This is possible because: I can look at all the lending options.

I deal with more than 25 different lenders and work to find the best lender to suit your unique situation.

• I can do all the ‘leg work’ with the lenders.

• This saves you time and avoids pitfalls in getting a loan approved.

• I can negotiate rates, fees, and legal contributions with certain lenders to obtain the best deal for the client.

• I can meet at a convenient time and place for the client.

• This can be in the home or workplace and after hours if need be.

• I can advise on the best loan structure to suit the client’s need.

And best of all using a broker is a free service in most cases. Now that has to be worth thinking about!

If your looking for a mortgage, please give me a call on 823 4531 or 021 783 266 and I can help you though the whole process. gavin@yesmortgages.co.nz

My least famous five...

By Ben Carey

Right, we’ve all been out there and done it.

Rocked up to the Kawhia wharf, fishing rod in one hand, chilly bin in the other, as we wait for the deckhands to throw the lines and head out to the fishing grounds, while we stand alongside a bunch of complete strangers who you’d never thought possible.

You generally get quite a diverse bunch, from first timers, who have never been out fishing before, right through to your seasoned vets, and even the complete dinga-lings, yeah you know the ones, the one’s that stand shoulder to shoulder and complain about the fishing, the coffee, and even the weather.

If you are planning on jumping aboard a charter boat this spring, either as an individual or with a couple of mates, here’s my top five people to watch - or keep away from when joining a public or individual trip this season.

So, without any further ado, let’s get this started.

1. The wisherman.

Unlike most fisherman, you can actually spot these blokes a mile off.

They’ll rock straight up to the skipper and deckhand and ask what the chances are of catching a 20lb snapper, what the fishing has been like, and generally will be the first people to drop a line down and tangle up with each other while the skipper is still attempting to anchor.

These roosters are a fun bunch to watch, as they debate whose snapper is the biggest, whose kahawai is the longest, while at the same time talking about their favourite Justin Bieber songs on MTV. 2. Mr Tangle-alot.

We all know one of these blokes.

He means well, he really does, but

he doesn’t really get the memo that dropping a 3 ounce sinker down to 54 metres during a red hot snapper bite off Kawhia with 16 anglers standing shoulder to shoulder is going to result in cut lines and tempers flaring!

He’s also known as an askhole (a person who readily asks for advice yet does the complete bloody opposite of what the skipper tells them.

He will most likely use braided line, leaving the rod in the rod holder while hooking a kahawai and tangling around 15 other punters while eating

his chicken sandwiches.

3. The brofessional.

This guy is a little different, he’s the mate who will rock up to the boat with a box of Double Brown, or a 440 ml can of Ranfurly in one hand, Winfield cigarette in the other, and start the trip off consuming the whole box by midmorning!

Sure, this guy knows how to catch, and sometimes this rooster will even fluke a big fish or two using the same stumpy rod is mother gave him for Christmas 30 years earlier!

This person is definitely fun to fish around.

4. The complete novice.

Now, this person you have to keep well away from.

You will notice this immediately as the seasoned vets will automatically pick up on this and will pack up and take their rods and tackle boxes as far

OUR TOPCOURSE IS BLUE

away from him as possible to the other side of the boat before you even leave the wharf.

He’s the one who leaves codebrowns in the toilet and needs help to show him how to flush the system and is generally the first person that goes and looks at the fish finder or sounder inside the wheelhouse and asks the skipper “are those fish?” before you’ve even left the harbour.

This guy will bird nest the reel even on his fourth attempt and will attempt to set the hook on what he believes is a big snapper as the sinker continuously bounces on the bottom.

5. The professional.

Now, these guys definitely look like they belong on a boat.

They know the skipper and deckhands by name, right to the point where you actually think they are part of the crew!

They’ll be the first ones on the boat, just before daybreak, and will already be onboard in their prime fishing location; either at the very back corner of the boat or just outside the skipper’s wheelhouse.

They’ll wear the latest fishing shirts and caps, and even if they get a 10% discount at their local fishing store, well they’re pretty much sponsored I guess, and will let every man and his dog know about it and at the same time brag amongst themselves about whose wife makes the best scones, who has the biggest farm - or whatever takes their fancy.

Well, there you have it team.

That’s my top five people you are most likely to meet on the boat.

Be sure to be on the lookout for them the next time you’re out on the water.

Tight lines.

Title hopes take a tumble

Cambridge hopes of landing men’s and women’s football titles this year now depend on slip-ups by rival teams as the winter season enters its final stages.

A series of losses by the club’s men’s teams last weekend will set up an anxious August before final positions are sorted in September.

The Reds’ hopes of pushing for promotion from the Lotto NRFL second division were not helped by a 3-0 loss at home to secondplaced Fencibles United.

The loss ended a five-match winning streak for Cambridge – the best run of form at top level in more than a decade – and the pressure goes on for the remaining fixtures which start with a long trip to play Northland in Whangarei on Saturday.

Cambridge and Fencibles had played a scrappy 44 minutes last Saturday and it looked as though the game would go into its half-time break scoreless.

But Fencibles struck twice in the minute before the interval, through Josh Harford and Panagiotis Garofalakis to stun the John Kerkhof Park crowd.

In the second half, Fencibles were content to keep possession to frustrate the Reds and they sealed the win with a Jeremy Burke goal on the hour.

In the early game, Cambridge U-23s lost 2-1 to Fencibles United.

Cambridge trailed 1-0 at the break but fought back with a goal from substitute Morgan Montrose, only to concede again.

Cambridge’s third team lost 2-0 at Waikato Unicol to put at risk the team’s bid to win the WaiBOP Championship.

The game was goalless at the break but Unicol grabbed a double to upset the competition leaders who now need rivals Tauranga Old Blues to lose at least two of their remaining half dozen games to enable

Seven Reds pack their goalmouth to prevent a Fencible goal.

the title to come to Cambridge.

The WaiBOP Championship team provides the main game at John Kerkhof Park this Saturday when they play Te Awamutu in their local derby (2.45pm).

The Cambridge women’s team kept up their push for the Waikato women’s division two title with a 13-1 walkover against Huntly Thistle.

Captain Steph Upton and striker Rachel Hill led the way with four goals apiece, while other goals were scored by Emma Barrott (2), Kym Thomasen, Olivia Milne and Lorena

Harrera.

Player of the Day was Mariela Robledo.

Like their male counterparts, the women’s team need title rivals Ngaruawahia United to slip in at least one of their remaining games, in which case the title could well be decided by goal difference.

In Waikato men’s division one, Cambridge drew 2-2 at St Paul’s Corinthians.

Scorers for Cambridge were Kieran Ashburner and Miguel Peterle.

Ashburner and Kurt Von Keisenberg were joint Players of the Day.

In Waikato division four, Cambridge lost their top-of-the-table clash with West Hamilton United 2-1.

Jack Harman scored the Cambridge goal while goalkeeper Saxon Jay-Edwards earned the Player of the Day with a string of saves.

In the Over 35s league, the Cambridge D1 team lost 5-1 to Claudelands Rovers. Marcelo Stiaque scored for Cambridge with the last touch of the game.

The club’s Team 2 lost 5-1 to Melville United Old Boys. George Taylor scored for Cambridge, his first of the season.

Sub-Unions restore Peace Cup The Peace Cup will regain its status as the symbol of Mid North Island Sub-Union rugby supremacy, when it kicks off onAugust 21.

During the past decade, the Peace Cup has been contested as a challenge trophy in the Stan Meads Cup competition, which was introduced in 2011.

One reason for that was that the Peace Cup went missing.

A recent meeting saw delegates decide to reinstate the battered cup as the big prize in the Waikato, King Country and Bay of Plenty Sub-

Union representative competition, with the Stan Meads Cup becoming the challenge trophy.

The Stan Meads Cup is named in honour of one of the most dedicated All Black forwards of the 1960’s.

A suggestion was offered by the Hamilton Rugby Union in late 2020, to change the naming of the competition back to the Peace Cup. Peace Cup Chairman Neil Macrae said “I thought this was worth looking into”. “My view was that the time was right for a change, as the Stan Meads Cup

had served its purpose of reviving Sub-Union rugby and many people still referred to the competition as the Peace Cup”.

“However first on the list was a courtesy visit to Stan (Meads) to gauge his thoughts. Stan totally agreed with the change and the reasoning behind it”.

The first SMC/Peace Cup meeting of 2021 unanimously ratified the return of the Peace Cup competition and the Stan Meads Cup being put on the line as the challenge prize.

The Peace Cup, originally known

as the Peace Memorial Cup, was inaugurated in 1919 to mark the formal end of the First World War. Well known Hamilton accountant Richard English anomalously donated the Cup to the Hamilton Rugby Union to mark the occasion.

The name of the Thames Rugby Union was engraved on the Peace Cup in 1920, which is considered the starting point of Peace Cup competition, which is still alive one hundred and one years later.

Hamilton hold the trophies, having beaten Piako last season.

The grouping of Hamilton and

Piako in the Peace Cup Pool A should produce a cracking rugby game. Cambridge complete Pool A and showed enough last year to suggest they will be competitive in the return of the Peace Cup as the big prize.

New Peace Cup entrant North King Country will join two heavyweights of previous Peace Cup competition. Te Awamutu has lifted the Peace Cup in triumph a record 19 times, with Central Bay of Plenty (Rotorua) having won the 101 year old trophy on 11 occasions.

Handicap change in harness racing

I have been refereeing for 12 seasons now and I really enjoy it.

Referring gives me the chance to stay active and give back to Rugby at a grassroots level by refereeing school-age games. Without referees, many of these games would not go ahead.

I got into refereeing because my wife needed someone to attend the referee course on behalf of Cambridge Primary School where she is the Sports Coordinator. Once there I met Mike McLarn who talked me into joining the Cambridge Referees Association, a decision I have not regretted.

The Cambridge Referees are a great bunch, we meet throughout the season to refresh our rules knowledge, have discussions on rules, review the games we have done and draw off the knowledge and experiences of other refs. We also meet socially many times a year and have heaps of fun.

We are always looking for new referees to join us, you don’t need any prior experience as you are trained and supported throughout your referee journey. It is a great way to give back to the sport we love. If you are interested email us at cambridgerefs@gmail.com

Harness Racing New Zealand has approved a number of changes to the Ratings Handicapping System.

Some of the changes, approved by the HRNZ Board, will come into effect immediately, others will be introduced in January.

The biggest change is that when a horse assessed as a maiden wins its first race, its rating will move from MR to R for the level it was on.

For example; MR50 will move to R50, MR46 to R46. Effectively the horse will start in the Ratings system at its current level.

“This is something participants have been wanting for some time so we’re expecting the change to be well received,” says HRNZ’s General Manager – Racing, Catherine McDonald.

The change is effective immediately.

For standard races, from Monday, the Board has also agreed to creating a larger differential between 3rd, 4th and the Also Ran stake.

Fifth placing will now be an Also Ran stake and will attract a 1-point drop in the ratings system. The Also Ran percentage will reduce from 2% to 1.75%.

Group and Listed races remain unchanged (fifth stake remains) except the Also Ran percentage will change from 2% to 1.75%.

Two and three-year-old horses will maintain their current concessions throughout the transition period running to the end of the year.

The ratings caps will be removed for the transition period, with the Handicapper given the ability to re-rate horses on 1 January 2022 that have been disaffected by the removal of

The new Waikato Sport & Active Recreation Awards are here to stay following a successful revamped awards season in 2020, and nominations have opened.

“Covid-19 threw us a curve ball in 2020, but the positive out of it was that it gave us an opportunity to realign our awards season at a community level,” Sport Waikato CEO Matthew Cooper said.

“What eventuated was a very heart-warming, local and community focused celebration where we were able to acknowledge innovation, partnerships, collaboration, diversity and most of all the people doing the work. It was so successful and well received that we decided it was the new

way forward.”

The 2021 Waikato Sport & Active Recreation Awards encourage nominations from those in the community who go above and beyond to deliver programmes and initiatives that meet the needs of the participant and create a more active region.

“We think it’s time that we recognise those who do the work at a community level – those creating initiatives that are aimed at participation, the bootcamps in the local park, those providing inclusive opportunities, the collaborative partnerships and those innovating to meet the needs of the participants. And this year we’ve included coaching,

the rating caps or that have climbed to an artificially inflated rating for performing in age group races.

There will be additional 2- year-old and 3-year-old races programmed over the transition period to encourage this age group to race in their age groups.

Horses 4-yeasr-old older, up to rating 70, will be entitled to one penalty free win in a racing calendar year, rather than one in total.

This is to align with the change of the horses’ birthday.

Junior concessions are to be introduced for junior drivers from January to encourage owners/trainers to give juniors more opportunity.

The concessions will be based on levels according to the number of wins a junior has driven. It will be possible for a junior to outdrive their claim. HRNZ

Waikato sports awards nominations open

‘unsung heroes’ and youth engagement to the categories,” said Cooper.

“We’re also excited that while last year’s awards were celebrated online, this year finalists will be invited to a special event to acknowledge and celebrate their achievements, and announce the winners.”

Along with the judged categories of Community Connection, Sport & Active Recreation Partnership, Outstanding Active Space Initiative and Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion, there are three new categories – Community Coach, Community Unsung Hero and Commitment to Youth Engagement.

Flavours

with Jan Bilton

Simply super grains Although they have only recently become a foodie favourite around the world, nutritionally-rich super grains have been enjoyed for thousands of years.

Quinoa has been used as a cereal for over 5,000 years and was regarded as a sacred food by the South American Incas.

It’s gluten-free and an excellent source of protein as well B vitamins.

Kasha (toasted buckwheat), is one of the oldest dishes in Slavic countries — at least 1000 years — and often consumed as a porridge. Kasha is not a wheat but a fruit seed related to rhubarb and sorrel. It’s gluten-free and has all the health benefits of whole grains including protein.

Chia seeds — gram for gram — contain five times more calcium than milk plus high levels of minerals and fibre. When the little black seeds are mixed with water a gel is formed which slows down the release of carbohydrates in the body providing a ‘full’ feeling for longer. They’re great sprinkled over your breakfast yoghurt and can also be added to smoothies.

Cracked wheat or bulghur is partially steamed then dried before being marketed.

It only requires soaking in boiling water before use making it an excellent base for speedy meals. It’s a popular substitute for rice or couscous in Middle Eastern cooking.

CHOPSTICKS STIR-FRY I used a packet of quick-cook Tilda super grain coconut quinoa, brown basmati and wild rice for this dish. It’s available from most supermarkets.

2 tablespoons canola oil 1 medium red onion,

250g skinned and boned chicken breast, cut into 2cm dice 3/4 cup small broccoli florets 1 small carrot diced 1 packet super grain coconut quinoa, brown basmati and wild rice 2 tablespoon soy sauce 1 tablespoon sesame oil 2 eggs, lightly beaten Heat the canola oil in a wok or a non-stick frying pan. Add the onion and stir-fry until tender. Add the chicken and stir-fry until just cooked. Add the broccoli florets and carrot and stir-fry for 1 minute.

Add the super grain coconut quinoa, brown basmati & wild rice and stir well. Add the soy sauce and sesame oil.

Make a well in the centre of the mixture.

Drizzle in the eggs — stirring constantly — until it is cooked. Stir into the rice combo.

Serves 2-3.

KASHA & ROASTED CAULIFLOWER SALAD Serve warm or at room temperature.

1/2 medium head cauliflower 1 onion, cut into wedges 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil salt and pepper to taste 1 red capsicum, seeded and cubed 1/2 cup kasha 1 3/4 cups water 1/2 cup chopped parsley 8 pitted green olives halved 1 lemon Preheat the oven to 200°C. Cut the cauli into medium-large florets.

Place in a large roasting pan with the onion and olive oil. Toss to coat and season. Roast

Bulghur and navel orange salad for 15 minutes, stir, then add the capsicum.

Continue cooking until the cauli is tinged with brown and is tender.

Meanwhile, bring the kasha and water to the boil in a saucepan. Cook for about 15 minutes until tender. Drain well. Place in a large bowl.

Add the cauli mixture, parsley and olives.

Finely grate the rind of the lemon and add to the salad together with the juice. Serves 4 as a side.

BULGHUR & NAVEL ORANGE SALAD Dressing: 1 large navel orange 2 teaspoons honey 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil freshly ground salt and pepper to taste

Salad: 3/4 cup raw bulghur wheat boiling water to cover 2 navel oranges 4 cups baby cos lettuce leaves 1/2 cup chopped parsley To make the dressing, finely grated the orange rind and squeeze the juice from the orange. Combine both with the honey, mustard and olive oil. Season.

To make the salad, place the bulghur wheat in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Stand for about 10 minutes then drain well.

Place in a large bowl and stir in a little of the dressing. Cool.

Peel and segment the 2 oranges. Combine with the bulghur, cos and parsley. Drizzle with the dressing and serve. Serves 4.
