Boards for the chop?

Cambridge and Te Awamutu community boards are fighting for their existence, writes Mary Anne Gill.

It takes a lot to get Ange Holt and Sue Milner to break ranks and go against the standard Waipā District Council response to representation change.

Usually, the debate is held behind closed doors away from the public in what the council calls ‘workshops’.

But a proposal to do away with the two community boards and replace them with committees has angered the two seasoned local body politicians and

Ange Holt

forced them to go public with Holt saying community

board members were not being taken seriously.

She also took aim at a staff comment, made at one of the workshops, that the council could run a public relations campaign around the committee concept. “(That) will make retaining the community boards near on impossible if it goes to the public,” said Holt.

“We’ve got quite distinct communities which makes community boards very

important,” said Milner, who was a three-term Waipā District councillor before opting to stand for the Cambridge Community Board at the 2019 local body elections.

In her chair’s report to the Te Awamutu Community Board on Tuesday, Holt said it was not “prudent” to discontinue community boards as the advantages outweighed those for a committee.

“None of us support the concept of a committee, and the only two benefits we see is that it could provide a wider perspective from the community and a possible name change may fire people up to get involved or interested,” she said.

“The community board is also good value for money after all there are five people working very hard for our community for $60,000.”

Holt and Milner both argue committees would not be independent of council and could result in “it’s not what you know but who you know” appointments.

“At least when people put forward their names for election, you know who they are,” said Milner.

“These are people who are on the ground, who are hearing what people are saying.”

She went a step further and said it might be time to

look very hard at what some of the councillors are doing.

“If you’re going to be a councillor, you’ve got to do the mahi (work).”

Holt told the council there was no way it could go to the public with the proposal to get rid of community boards in favour of committees “when you have no idea how it will work.”

“We are not able to make an informed decision as we have not been presented with enough information to do so.

“The community board has a democratic mandate.

It can speak ‘truth to power’ to use a cliché, whereas a committee will be indebted to the people who made the appointments,” said Holt.

Given there was a representation review underway following the council decision to adopt a Māori ward, it would be prudent to wait for its

We say

The axing of community boards is being considered by district councils from Wānaka to Waipā.

And in both centres the boards are aggrieved. That’s not surprising – they have proved valuable mouthpieces for communities.

What is equally concerning is how the proposal in Waipā was exposed – via a Te Awamutu Community Board agenda.

This is not a specific criticism of Waipā – “workshop” discussions and debates where councils effectively firm up their views have become a regular part of local body politics. Ironically, when decisions are announced and public opinion sought, councillors are then told they can’t offer an opinion because it could compromise the process.

When the existing local body system was introduced in 1989 there were no secret workshops, councillors debated issues in public. It was healthy – and it was reported.

The News understands a staff report recommending the axing of the boards was discussed in secret by councillors just this week – and there was limited support for the proposal.

That is not democracy at play. The public are entitled to know what councillors are discussing and what their views are.

Waipā should not have learned second hand that their council has discussed the future of their community boards to the point of floating a proposal ahead of an election next year.

New look to Rotary fest

By Viv Posselt

Tickets for this year’s Rotary Garden Festival go on sale tomorrow (Friday).

The November 21 festival brings the popular event back after Covid-19 saw it take a break last year. Event organiser, Rotarian Carey Church, said much about the 2021 festival was new.

“Ten of the 11 gardens on show this year are new to the event – only one has been featured before,” she said. “The whole idea is to keep things fresh … we’ve achieved that this time.”

The range being showcased covers small and large gardens and a lavender farm. There will also be garden art and plants available for sale, and online tickets are being sold for a comprehensive ‘Behind the Scenes Tour’ of Amber Garden Centre by owner Rob Clancy.

Rob said the tour would focus on ‘how we do it’ aspect of the four main production areas.

These include the production shed and the different climatecontrolled areas governing seedling germination,

acclimatisation, and hardening off. It will demonstrate the exacting care taken in preparing the planting medium, and show how the plants are taken from pre-germination through to when they go into the sales area for purchase.

“There is a lot of curiosity about what happens behind the scenes here,” he said. “We have done small tours with garden groups before, but this will be the first comprehensive tour offered to the public.”

Rob, who is has been in the family business for decades and well knows his onions from his ornamentals, said the centre grows between five to six million plants a year. It is important from the customer’s perspective, he said, to understand the value in growing plants in the environment in which they will live. Plants brought in from other parts of the country are less likely to thrive locally; it is this attention to detail right from the start that is the centre’s point of difference, he said.

The garden festival was launched in 2018 as a major Cambridge Rotary fundraiser.

Funds raised go to Cambridge

charities. The 2019 event raised over $36,500.

The tickets going on sale this week include maps directing visitors to the gardens. The cost is $40 per person, and $30 for seniors. Early bird tickets at $30 across the board are available if purchased before the end of

September. Tickets are available at both Amber Nurseries and Cambridge Jewellers, and via the website (www.cgf.nz).

The limited number of tickets for the “Behind the Scenes Tour’ of Amber Garden Centre are available only through the website.

Amber Nurseries’ Rob Clancy, seen here in the seed-starting area, is offering comprehensive tours of the centre as part of the 2021 Rotary Garden Festival.

On the beat with Senior Constable DEB THURGOOD

Here’s a super (market) story I would like to start the column with a good news story. A customer at New World last week found $100 cash that had apparently been dropped by someone else.

They handed it in to the store, who reviewed CCTV footage. Management identified the customer who had dropped the money and also her vehicle details. This information was provided to me, and I was able to contact and speak with the customer directly. She correctly told me what it was she had lost and needless to say, was very happy to be able to go and collect it. I’m proud to be part of a community where honesty and integrity are strong.

On other matters, one of the key messages I find myself repeating over and over is that we need to be reporting crime when it is happening or as soon as we can after we discover it has happened. So how do you do that? If offending is happening now, dial 111. That is an assault or family harm incident in progress, suspicious person at your neighbour’s house, a shoplifter leaving your store, someone trying your door handle

or breaking into your house. If you discover something has already happened some time earlier, ring 105 or go to 105.police.govt.nz and report it online (for example, graffiti on your fence or someone has broken into your shed overnight while you were away).

You can also visit our front counter which is open Monday to Friday 8am – 4pm. Common reasons for visiting our front counter include needing a document certified as a true copy or similar declaration, to hand in found property or report something lost, or for advice about something that has happened.

If you see dangerous driving when travelling around (cars overtaking into oncoming traffic or weaving across the centreline, speeding excessively), call 111.

Dial *555 from your mobile to report inconsiderate driving or something which isn’t posing a threat to life (for example a non-injury crash, congestion or obstruction in the road). Please spread the word to family, friends and neighbours that reporting is vital to giving Police a true picture of crime in our community, who is doing what, where

and when. This better enables us to patrol where we need to, when we need to deter and disrupt criminal activity.

Still on the topic of reporting, I have seen discussion on Facebook groups around suspicious activity by vehicles in rural areas around Aspin Road. These types of posts occur frequently and while they create community chatter, uneasiness and speculation, they do not alert 111.

Please, instead of posting on Facebook with a (sometimes lengthy) time delay, phone 111 immediately that it is safe to do so. Let us know what has happened and/or what you have seen, providing any vehicle registrations, which direction it headed and as many other details about the people involved as possible. This gives us the best chance of locating the vehicle and finding out what is actually going on. We can potentially then thwart an attempt by offenders to commit a rural crime.

Until next week, report, report, report!

Land sale option

Waipā District Council is to hold an extraordinary council meeting next Tuesday to discuss land acquisition. The council would not reveal what land it plans to acquire but several of the projects approved in the Long-Term Plan 2021-2031 rely on funding from asset sales.

Shop hit

Police say a smashed window and bent security bar outside Cambridge Jewellers yesterday morning was the consequence of a motor vehicle accident.

School resignation

Yevette Williams has resigned as St Peter’s School, Cambridge deputy principal. Williams has been absent from the school since May. Her husband, executive principal Dale Burden, resigned later that month. In a statement the St Peter’s School board said Williams planned to enter a PhD programme in education leadership. The board thanked her for her dedication, hard work and input particularly in the areas of teaching and learning and curriculum development.

Path opens

A tiny piece of track midway along the Cambridge North swale project looping from Swayne Road around the back of Little Einstein’s Educare opened less than 48 hours after The News highlighted that orange cones, fencing and ‘danger keep out’ signs were preventing it from being used. Cyclists and pedestrians can now safely travel from Victoria Road alongside Waikato Expressway to Thornton Road on a mostly sealed and car-free path.

Webber’s cancer battle

By Mary Anne Gill

Long-serving Waipā District councillor and former deputy mayor Grahame Webber will not stand for council next year as he battles myeloma cancer.

Webber, 73, was first elected to the council in 2001 and is two years into his seventh term. He first represented the Maungatautari ward and five years ago, after he and wife Jenny moved into town, the Cambridge ward.

He served four terms as deputy mayor before handing over to Liz Stolwyk two years ago and currently chairs the Service Delivery committee.

Webber grew up in Te Awamutu, the oldest of seven children, attended Te Awamutu College and then moved to Hora Hora 56 years ago when his parents bought a farm there. He farmed at Maungatautari for more than 30 years.

His cancer battle involves having chemotherapy every week at Waikato Hospital and regular

blood tests.

Myeloma, also known as multiple myeloma or plasma cell myeloma, is a cancer of plasma cells that usually arises in the bone marrow.

Tragically Webber’s brother and sister have both died in the past two years.

“I’ve got 40 weeks of chemo treatment ahead of me and I’m going to be looking after myself.”

He will be talking to people he wants to see put their hands up for council.

“Liz (Stolwyk) was a prime example. I was on a plane with her to Bihoro, our sister city in Japan when I asked her to put her name forward for the council. And look how well she is doing.”

The other person Webber says he convinced to stand in Maungatatauri, when he stood down, was Elwyn Andree-Wiltens.

“She is the best person in the job for Maungatautari,” he said.

Webber has few regrets about his time in local government and points out how well Cambridge has done.

The sponsorship sum is appropriate - RDA estimates it costs $2500 to maintain a horse each year and that was how the amount was set.

Jockey Club patron Richard Seabrook is involved with RDA. “I was talking to him, and he explained how it was getting more difficult to get sponsorship,” FraserCampin said. “The club board is keen to help support affiliated equine organisations like pony club and RDA – and this is such as good cause.”

He said finding support for the race day had not been difficult – “it’s been the easiest race day for find sponsors for.”

“When I came here, Cambridge had 5500 people. I’m thrilled to bits with Cambridge now. If we (council) hadn’t done what we’ve done in the town, we wouldn’t have the people coming here now.”

The district was attracting the same sort of industry as Hamilton and with that comes jobs and economic growth, he said.

His major focus has always been on his constituents.

“I just don’t like spending a huge amount of money on things.

It’s ratepayers’ money.”

Jockey club, raceway team up for disabled The Cambridge Jockey Club has announced will dedicate next week’s meeting on its polytrack to the town’s Riding For The Disabled Association.

And support for the event has also come from Cambridge Raceway.

The Wednesday meeting at the Racecourse Road track will see all sponsorship monies donated directly to the Association.

The fields and number of races will be finalised on Saturday.

Sponsors have been confirmed for all races at $2500 “which will mean that a tidy sum will be donated to the RDA,” Mark Fraser-Campin said.

people with interaction with horses to help develop abilities and self-esteem for children and adults with physical, intellectual, emotional and social difficulties.

Horses become therapists.

The riding programmes are designed to help develop and increase physical abilities, communication, concentration, social skills, confidence and self-esteem. They also provide their riders with a sport and an opportunity for outdoor recreation in a supportive environment.

RDA is expected to bring one of its stars, “promo pony” Monty, who stand nine hands high.

The first race is expected at noon, the last about 4.30 and there will be food trucks and bar on course. Lions Club members will also be assisting, and patrons will be invited to make donations.

Confirmed race sponsors for the day include Waipa Earthworks Ltd, Manning Investments Ltd, Garrards Horse & Hound, Shaw’s Wire Ropes, NZB Insurance, Cambridge Equine Hospital, Ascot Farm, Shelley, Ken Green and Waikato-BOP Harness Racing.

recommendation before rushing to dump community boards, she said.

Milner was loathe to blame the council for the suggested changes. It was a nationwide push coming out of Wellington, she said.

“They just sort of tell you what’s happening.”

If Covid-19 proved anything, it was the value of community, she said.

“A lot of people rediscovered their towns. At least in Cambridge you could walk around. People were checking in on their neighbours. Community has a huge amount going for it.”

The Local Electoral Act 2001 requires local authorities to undertake a review of their representation arrangements after a decision to adopt a Māori ward.

Waipā’s last representation review was in 2018 when the council added an extra councillor and community board member in the Cambridge ward.

Council is expected to adopt an initial proposal at its meeting later this month for what its elected member structure may look like.

There will be at least a month for community consultation followed by hearings and a final decision.

Anyone wanting to appeal, or object must go to the Local Government Commission who would then make the decision on behalf of the district.

The commission has until April 11, 2022 to issue a decision.

The local body elections will be held in October next year.

There are 110 community boards around New Zealand.

Local Government New Zealand principal policy adviser Mike Reid told the Otago Daily Times last month, in his experience community boards were “very effective” but it depended on how they were treated by councils.

“Their effectiveness depends on whether the council gives them powers or not and whether the council gives them support.

“So, in some areas, boards are not that effective because council does not give them support and may not give them any decision-making role and so it really comes down to local context,” Mr Reid said.

Community boards were only one of the tools giving communities a voice, but there were others.

The other options include Te Awamutu and Cambridge opting to “deamalgamate” by applying to the Local Government Commission.

THURSDAY AUGUST 12, 2021

From ecstasy to heartbreak The cycling community, which has its highperformance base in Cambridge, was celebrating an Olympic success then mourning the loss of an Olympian within days.

While Cambridge based Ellesse Andrews goes through quarantine on her return from a successful Tokyo Olympics, whānau of her friend and fellow rider Olivia ‘Liv’ Podmore are planning her funeral.

Podmore, 24, died suddenly in Cambridge on Monday. She had moved to Waipā in 2015 to further her

cycling career.

Her death has put the focus on the pressure athletes endure. In a social media message, she had posted, she reflected on the pressure of sport and of not meeting “society’s expectations”.

At a media conference in Cambridge on Tuesday, Cycling New Zealand chief executive Jacques Landry said the organisation will be looking at how Podmore was treated.

“She had a lot of people supporting her through her career and so right now what we are doing is looking

back and... ok, well what was that support?”

Podmore hinted at her turmoil in an April social media post where she spoke of her health and relationship woes.

She was diagnosed with endometriosis and had surgery to remove cysts.

“My mental health has taken a toll through all this especially with another breakup through this time and past demons have come back to haunt me over the last six months but I’m working through this.

“I’m focused on

dropping some hot times and lifts in July this year - Commonwealth Games is the ultimate short-term goal for performing- 2024 Olympics are on my radar and I can’t wait to show the world what I can do.”

In an emotional and eloquent tribute, double Olympic gold medal rower Eric Murray – speaking on behalf of Podmore’s family - said the world was seeing the locally and internationally the implications of mental health in society and sport.

“We now have a statistic,

and that is one statistic too many.”

He revealed he had spent time with Podmore in Queenstown a day earlier.

“I was with her this time yesterday and I wish she had said something,” he said.

“Her death is a shock and a tragedy. It reverberates not just through the Cambridge community but also her home in Christchurch.

“Her death also reverberates through the New Zealand cycling team, the New Zealand Olympic team and the worldwide sporting community.

Waipā names at the Games

By Blair Voorend

Several Waipā based athletes produced superb performances at the just finished Tokyo Olympics.

Former St Peter’s Cambridge student Ellesse Andrews took silver in the women’s keirin.

After a tough road to the final a strong finish for the 21-year-old, where she powered from fifth to overhaul three riders, saw her claim silver just behind Dutch rider Shanne Braspennincx.

Her effort delivered New Zealand’s first cycling medal at the Tokyo Olympics.

A couple of days later she competed in the sprint competition where in qualifying she managed to set what proved a short-lived Olympic record and finish off the games with

a top 12 finish.

But not all had a great time on the track as Te Awamutu cyclist Rushlee Buchanan struggled with the women’s team pursuit, finishing 8th, and in the Maddison race, finishing 11th.

Equestrian Jesse Campbell made an impressive debut Olympic campaign.

The 31-year-old former St Peter’s Cambridge student, aboard Diachello, showed no signs of big-stage nerves at his first Olympics.

Campbell, the world No 97, was very much the junior of the team, led by husbandand-wife Tim Price (World No 2) and Joelle Price (World No 7), but with some strong performances helped the team towards a fifthplace finish.

He finished 27th in cross country, 22nd in show jumping and 15th in dressage.

The former St Peter’s Cambridge student celebrated a 3-0 win over eventual silver medallists Argentina but ended at the quarterfinals with the same margin of loss against eventual gold medal winners Netherlands.

One of the last Waipā athletes to take the stage was former Cambridge resident and long-distance runner Camille Buscomb.

The runner took part in both the 5000m, finished 14th in her heat, and 10,000m where she finished 19th in the final.

Railing against the road machines

By Roy Pilott

“Everyone talks about 10 year plans – this should be a five year plan.”

Waikato Regional Council chairman Russ Rimmington has jumped back on track to call for rail development in Waikato to be prioritised.

He says priority must be given to establishing lines from Hamilton’s satellite towns including Cambridge, Te Awamutu, Morrinsville and Huntly.

“We are going to have 40,000 more vehicles on our roads in 10 years and our roading problems will be compounded,” he warned.

“There is not a developed country

in the world which doesn’t have a good rail system and we have fallen behind.”

Both Cambridge and Te Awamutu are well positioned to benefit.

A corridor has remained open from Cambridge to Hamilton’s main station in Frankton, and the line from Te Awamutu would almost certainly include a stop at Hamilton Airport.

“We should be having those trains running from the crack of dawn and through the day,” Mr Rimmington said.

Last November a report – the Hamilton-Auckland Corridor Plan & Implementation Programme was presented as an “an update

to the Shared Spatial Intent for the H2A Corridor 21 February 2019”.

It said the road network has become the dominant land use shaper and a more balanced approach was needed.

It advocated using rapid transit corridors to “shape and guide future urban growth towards more sustainable, resilient and affordable settlement patterns located in or near public transport centres and supported by well-connected arterial road and active mode networks”.

Initiatives it listed included rapid intercity rail, start-up passenger rail services, better public transport between southern Auckland and northern Waikato, more frequent

off-peak bus services between towns and rapid and frequent public transport network Among priority development areas was a southern metro corridor covering the growing Hamilton suburb of Peacocke, the regional airport, Te Awamutu and Cambridge.

Mr Rimmington said he would welcome the opportunity to discuss the issue with Energy and Resources Minister Megan Woods and believed the economic benefits of turning to rail were significant both financially and socially.

His council has recently launched the Te Huia rail service between Hamilton and Auckland.

While the project has its critics, he is sold on it.

“I look at the joy on the faces of commuters travelling in a carriage which has a 747 jet finish using the Wi-Fi.”

He is promoting a rail renaissance and argues metro rail links will have enormous benefits for Waikato towns.

“People will be able to commute rather than move Russ Rimmington to Hamilton – we will be spreading the workload and benefitting Cambridge and Te Awamutu.

The regional council chairman has also been in talks with Auckland mayor Phil Goff about enhancing the rail links between the two cities and he says it works both way as Aucklanders will be able to visit the Waikato in comfort and eventually take rail to see attractions in outlying Waikato communities.

“I would say let’s get a five year timetable – one aimed at developing an economic powerhouse.”

The interior is likened by Russ Rimmington to that of an aircraft.

Te Huia provides a commuter and weekend service between Hamilton and Auckland.

Business Showcase

THE STORE ST KILDA - A BEACON FOR FOODIES If there were Kiwi ‘foodie outlet’ Oscars to be had, The St Kilda Store would be up there with the best of them.

The gourmet grocery outlet is run by English-born sisters now settled in Cambridge, Johanna Buckley and Eleanor Bellham. They opened in November 2020, and in the 10 months since, The Store has become an integral part of the local community and won accolades further afield.

It’s a family business that benefits immensely from the girls’ enjoyment in seeking out the very best of New Zealand’s craft foods, top quality food accessories, and unusual gifts for all ages, items you’re unlikely to find anywhere else around here. The range includes delightful breads, organic meats, ready meals for one or for a family, ice-creams, quirky palate pleasers, books and baby-food. There is even

Eleanor Bellham and Johanna Buckley have combined their many skills speciality food and other items for the family pet.

The Store’s position right next door to the St Kilda Café & Bistro in Kaniera Terrace could have been designed with them in mind.

It brings in newcomers and visitors and is well-placed to serve the growing number of locals from St Kilda and beyond, many of whom view the outlet as something

of their own personal pantry. The supplies are not limited to high-end … there is also a stash of convenient foods for the times when customers run out and don’t want to go into town.

As much as the food leans towards artisan and gourmet, there is an oldfashioned charm about the place. The girls make up gift hampers for all occasions

and go the extra mile in search of the suppliers of items customers have spotted on trips around the country. In keeping with today’s needs, they are about to launch an app which will enable customers to order ahead and have their goods delivered to them twice a week. They fulfil a philanthropic role by taking date-expired waste food to Cambridge Community House for distribution to those in need.

When it comes to rail, councillors are...

Taking different tracks

By Mary Anne Gill

Two senior local authority councillors have mixed views on whether rail should feature in Waikato commuter plans.

Hamilton City councillor Dave Macpherson, who played a vital role in lobbying for the establishment of Te Huia – the Waikato to Auckland rail commuter service – says “you’d have to be blind Freddy” not to see the potential of rail.

Meanwhile Waipā district councillor Grahame Webber, despite being credited

by Macpherson with ensuring land along Victoria Street between Hautapu and Cambridge remains a rail corridor, says it would be a “waste of money” to fast track a

Waikato rail commuter service.

Macpherson argues Waikato already has the rail infrastructure thanks to the dairy industry. Rail played a crucial part in the 19th and 20th centuries around the region to transport milk from dairy factories to markets.

Re-establishing those rail networks was one of the 23 shovel-ready projects put forward by the Waikato Rail governance group and championed by the region last year.

The infrastructure projects should help reduce the economic impact of Covid-19, the Government said. The metro rail network, which would link Hamilton with other Waikato towns including Cambridge, Te

Awamutu, Morrinsville and Ngaruawahia, did not proceed as part of the shovel-ready projects.

Webber echoed the views of planning consultant Mark Chrisp who said in 2018 a park and ride operation at Hautapu was a better option than extending rail into Cambridge CBD. Any rail connection from Hautapu to the CBD would involve constructing 10 level crossings.

Fonterra uses the Hautapu Branch Line from Ruakura about once a week, said Webber.

In its heyday, the 19.27km line had five stations along its route at Newstead, Matangi, Bruntwood, Hautapu and Cambridge. The tracks between Hautapu and Cambridge were removed in 1999 and it is now a shared walking and cycling trail.

KiwiRail retains the land for a possible future passenger service between Cambridge and Hamilton.

“It would just be too expensive to reinstate the line into Cambridge,” said Webber.

In addition to laying new tracks there and building crossings, the railway bridge at Bruntwood would have to be strengthened as trains are only able to travel 15km/hr over it.

“Look at Te Huia, it’s cost $100 million and it’s a complete shambles. It’s a waste of money and we don’t have the infrastructure to do any more.”

Macpherson said Hamilton and the wider Waikato had the highest dependency on private motor vehicles in New Zealand.

Commuter traffic between Hamilton and Waipā towns Cambridge and Te Awamutu had become grid-locked with the only public transport option being a regional bus service.

Dave Macpherson

Strengthening the rail network between Hamilton and Auckland airports was critical, he said.

Doing up the railway station in Te Awamutu would also be needed, he said.

The Waikato Regional Public Transport Plan identifies that transitioning to a rapid transit-oriented network supported by excellent metro connections over time will provide capacity for further population growth and development.

Macpherson said this would create more liveable urban areas and a healthier environment by moving significantly more people while using much less space than a car orientated system.

“Continually adding capacity to roads to accommodate more cars is neither practical nor affordable in the long term,” he said.

Rate demands in the post Covid money spend quizzed

By Mary Anne Gill

More than 23,000 rate demand letters landed in Waipā letterboxes last week asking ratepayers for more than $73 million.

That will be just over half what the council needs to run the district for the next year with the rest coming from fees and charges, developers’ contributions and government subsidies.

And there was a bonus in the envelope when ratepayers opened it – a flyer from Waikato District Health Board with details of the Covid-19 vaccination programme in Waikato.

A Waipā spokesperson said the DHB paid the full cost of inserting the flyer into the rates’ mail out but would not say how much. While it lightened the load on ratepayers, taxpayers ended up paying for it anyway.

Some Waipā ratepayers have still not paid their outstanding balances - $449,178.58 is overdue.

The 2021-2022 rate take is 4.6 per cent up on last year but low in comparison to other districts.

That is largely due to the district’s high level of growth which means developers will pay nearly $21 million in contributions.

But if the rates assessment and tax invoice which came in the post are full of jargon and terms

you do not understand, fear not, the council has a page on its website with a video explaining what they are all about.

Plus, there are tips on easy payment options to lighten the load.

Canny viewers of their rates bill, particularly those in Cambridge where house prices have soared in recent months, will see their rates have been calculated on a capital value which bears little resemblance to the actual value.

That is because the last valuation of the Waipā district was done in 2019. Revaluations are done every three years, so a more realistic capital valuation is unlikely to be seen until then.

The council includes a graphic showing what it spends money on.

Trendsetters in Cambridge The following article appeared in the Waikato Independent in 1934: “Shoppers in Victoria Street on Tuesday afternoon experienced a mild shock. It is not often girls in ‘slacks’ are seen in the streets, but here were two of them, tall and unconcerned – one wearing a bright red pair with an equally vivid green jacket, the other more sombrely clad in blue from head to foot. Perhaps they were visitors to the town, but in any case it is hard to imagine the fashion spreading to any extent.

Cambridge maids and matrons are likely to remain faithful to skirts for many moons to come, although it is whispered that two local lasses were seen at the pictures the other night, one in white and the other in grey slacks; still that is not in broad daylight. During the holidays it was not an uncommon sight to see two dainty little maids of school age about the streets in shorts – one affected a bright red pair – but while little Miss Thirteen can do such things and get away with them, Miss Almost-out-of-her teens cannot afford to be quite so daring.”

This photograph, kindly provided by Joan McCathie, was taken in 1934 and shows her mother Gwen West (right) and aunt Etta McCathie (left).

Etta was a tailoress and possibly made the slacks for herself and her future sister-in-law.

IF WALLS COULD TALK: Why? Once upon a time there were no supermarkets, people did their grocery shopping from “grocery shops” in the 1960s. The grocer delivered the goods to you, wore a white apron, carried the groceries out to the car for you and became your friend. He or she, because Laurie and Elizabeth Catt ran Cosy Corner as a family business, commented on your children in their pushchairs, and delivered groceries to your home if you desired it. During the years Cosy Corner has had many identity crises.

Where to find it ?

Over the road from Briscoes and the historic Cambridge Town Hall. Now totally restored and extended the Cosy Corner building has smartened up its act under the very meticulous hands of accountant Jane Evans, who can proudly say she has restored to life the old building, which reminds us of its very fascinating career.

We haven’t much history before 1928 when it was “the dwelling and confectionery shop of a Mrs Milburn”.

Thank you Mr Catt!

at that time describe it as being owned by a Mrs Davys and this was when it succumbed to fire (and the adjoining YMCA building and motor garage were threatened by the fire).

The fire was thought to be started by rats chewing on wax matches!!!

However ,“the seat of the blaze” was confined to the northern part of the building and ‘the firemen made an excellent save”. The very worthy Waikato Independent (later to become the Cambridge Independent ) reported that “the premises gutted consisted of the shop and four attached living quarters.” There we have a glimpse into the life and times of 1928 and from that a new Cosy Corner was built.

Marching through time, Lloyd Williams had a funeral parlour there and Mr and Mrs Hogg had a dairy. Hoggs sold to Catts, and then there was, a little time later a brothel in residence! This continued until an over enthusiastic person noted the registration numbers of the visitors and began hassling them! In 1987 Anton and Sarah Myer started a Cosy Corner craft shop, in 1988 it was Merino Sheepskin shop.

Kathryn Parsons Museum manager

Eris Parker former Museum manager and curator, points out that it has been a spa pool shop, Town Hall tea rooms and H.Douglas, draper. Then a very artistic group of the Brethren Church set up Subtle Silks and made silk products, very high quality and tailored to perfection. Subtle Silks stayed there until 2020. Jane Evans also pointed out that horses and carts took patients from the building to Sanitorium Hill when Tuberculosis was treated at that Centre up until 1922. During this period George Retter’s Panel Shop was on the corner of Lake Street and Queen Street and Lake St Autos, started by Warren Wiseman. Behind the building was George Scott’s Heavy Haulage.

The preservation of the Cosy Corner building (see the original engraving on the name at the upper section of the building) has been perfect.

Jane Evans has spared no effort in retaining as many of the original characteristics of the building. She and her business partner Tim Doyle have their accountancy business with seven members of staff in the rear of the building, in the front is Mondo Homes.

Board looks in Waipā mouths

By Mary Anne Gill

Waikato District Health Board has beefed up its oral health work in Waipā district with the recruitment of more oral health therapists and dental assistants.

In response to an Official Information Act request from The News, Waikato DHB Hospital and Community services executive director Christine Lowry confirmed Waipā, where fluoride has never been in the community water supplies, has been identified as a key area of focus.

The extra staff will manage growth enabling the DHB’s oral health service to develop and better respond to the community’s needs.

“Part of this improvement will come from more appropriate service models and patient pathways that promote a localities-based approach in conjunction with using more transparent/accessible data and improved communication channels for both the patient and their whānau,” said Lowry.

“Data management systems and more effective process management tools have been developed to enable the service to identify areas of complex need and respond with a targeted approach and provide a bespoke solution to each school and their children.”

Lowry also revealed the DHB’s oral health service was undergoing a redesign to “better align resources” to the needs of its communities with a particular focus on fluoride application.

Adding fluoride to Waipā’s four water supply schemes and six water treatment plants will cost ratepayers $1.2 million upfront and about $60,000 a year.

The spend has not been budgeted by the council but could come as early as next year following the passing of the Health (Fluoridation of Drinking

Water) Amendment Bill in Parliament Lowry said that as a result of the May cyber security attack on the DHB’s computer system, she was unable to says what the waiting time to see an oral health team member was for Waipā children aged 0-14.

However, its Rapua Te Ara Matua equity report published earlier this year showed Māori and Pacific children were more likely to have tooth cavities before their fifth birthday and, at school age, less likely to have oral health checks than European children.

The News also requested under the Official Information Act an updated Waipā health profile.

The last was published six years ago which showed 8 in 1000 Waipā children aged 0-14 years had been hospitalised for dental-related admissions and that tooth decay rates were twice as high in Māori children than in non- Māori.

Lowry said due to boundary differences, the DHB now adapted a “locality approach” so Waipā was now lumped into a greater Hamilton locality which not only represented 63 per cent of the DHB’s population but was the fastest-growing area.

The inequities for Māori seen in the Rapua Te Ara Matua equity report’s oral health statistics, are similar in other health measures in greater Hamilton including emergency department presentations, hospitalisations, mothers smoking at first registration with a lead maternity carer, immunisations and mental health admissions.

• Waikato DHB responses to The News’ Official Information Act requests were way overdue as were requests to its Media and Communications team. It was only after The News said it would file a formal complaint to the Ombudsman over Waikato DHB’s lack of response that the DHB prepared a reply.

Jumble drums are beating

By Viv Posselt

Jumble Around has had one of its most successful years ever, resulting in a record $150,000 available for distribution to local notfor-profit organisations.

The 2021 funding round is now open, which means groups seeking assistance should get their application in before the cut-off date of September 15. Organisations hoping to benefit should also be involved in doing their own fundraising.

Applications will be considered by Jumble Around committee members at the group’s late September annual meeting, with recipient groups being notified soon afterwards.

The Leamington-based charity organisation focuses on supporting the local community, raising funds through the operation of a busy manager-free op-shop in Shakespeare St, run entirely by volunteers.

The group has put well over $1 million back into the community during the 53 years since it was launched to help fundraise for the building of Cambridge

Resthaven.

Jumble Around supports about 100 local not-for-profit organisations, among them Cambridge Community House, Achievement House, St John, the Māori Women’s League, Cancer Support, schools, kindergartens, and some regional groups with ties to Cambridge residents.

Last year, they raised $123,000. Jumble Around president Marianne Jarvie said this year’s funds are the highest so far. “It just keeps going up and up. We rely on the community to support us, and they have been fantastic again this year.”

One of the longer-

standing team members, Mary Waters, said the funding round was held annually at this time of the year.

Both women said the numbers of people coming in with goods and purchasing from the store was increasing.

That could in part be attributed to increasing need due to the economic pressures of the Covid-19 epidemic, they said, but there is also a greater interest in op-shop buying.

Application forms for the 2021 funding round can be obtained from Jumble Around, 183 Shakespeare St in Leamington, or via Mary Waters at terpa@xtra. co.nz.

NO PLANET B

Here’s the ammunition…

By Peter Matthews

As I write, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is about to publish their latest report. I reckon it should be called “Have you been paying attention?”

This will be the most comprehensive report of its kind and it will provide the most up to date assessment of the effects of climate change in the coming decades.

The last time this panel got together, in 2013, they weren’t absolutely convinced that extreme weather events could be ascribed to climate change, itself caused by human activities.

Now, thanks to advances in the science and the computer modelling available, I am sure they will be unequivocal in that assertion.

There will still be plenty of people who believe it’s all a hoax, citing natural patterns, but they are gradually being edged out into the cold, as it were. I don’t mean to pick a fight with the climate sceptics, there’s no need; nobody has a serious debate with a flat-earther.

By the time these words are in print, the new report will have been released and apparently it is going to be a ‘massive wakeup call’.

Well, that’ll make a difference, won’t it?

Let’s give them a shock - that will jolt them into action.

Except that it won’t; the people will, by and large, continue to follow the path of least resistance, which does not involve going to great lengths to reduce, reuse, and recycle.

Most of us won’t choose the more expensive, more environmentally friendly, or less environmentally damaging, options if they don’t have to.

Actually, my preceding paragraph misses the point of the IPCC; it is not designed to frighten you and me into being better guardians of the planet although that might be a side benefit.

No, the point is, and the clue is in the name, to give governments the information and therefore the ammunition and courage they need to make the hard decisions.

To introduce measures for the benefit of the planet which are inevitably going to be unpopular with their electorates but ultimately good for the planet.

Of course, in many countries where the concept of the electorate counts for nothing, environmental considerations count for even less, so we can discount the possibility of any constructive input from them.

It has been said that without immediate action from China the rest of the world has no chance.

This is because, as the world’s largest emitter of greenhouse gases - more than a quarter of the global total, China is the main player. President Xi has said that China will be carbon neutral by 2060 but he hasn’t said how. One wonders, since they are still busy building coal fired power stations.

Let’s just hope that enough governments are sufficiently moved by the findings of this latest report to take enough action to make a difference. It’s serious but it’s not all doom and gloom.

With big changes, which must be driven by governments there is hope of averting the worst effects of climate change.

Gain through sacrifice

By Murray Smith, Senior Leader, Bridges Church

We’ve just witnessed the Tokyo Olympics conclusion and what a weird Games it was.

Unlike any other, there were all manner of obstacles to overcome in order to pull it off. Despite the difficult circumstances, our team gave it their all, doing a great job representing New Zealand.

Whether Kiwi competitors attained Olympic glory making it onto the podium or not, just getting to compete at the Games reflects years of training and dedication.

I was impressed by athletes describing their journey of focus and preparation… the discipline, struggles and sacrifices made to give the Tokyo dream their very best shot.

We’ve all heard, “no gain without pain”.

Some people will go to remarkable lengths to achieve a goal.

It reminds me of an idiom referring to “giving your right arm (or hand)” as something that you would sacrifice or go to great lengths to obtain. It sounds a bit extreme, but it makes a point.

Travelling in Ireland, I was shown a stretch of coastline where apparently a guy called Heremon O’Neil was in a head to head boat race across a stretch of water to be the first to reach Ireland and claim it as his own.

Heremon’s foe, a rival chieftain was equally motivated by standing protocol that whoever landed first on the land physically, could claim possession and right to rule.

Heremon could see the outcome of the race was touch and go, so to ensure he was the first man to touch Ireland’s soil, he cut off his own hand, hurling it onto the shore claiming the land just ahead of his adversary.

His sacrifice made him the first king of Ulster in 1015 B.C.

Today, over 3000 years later, a province of Ireland still bears the wellknown Red Hand ‘coat of arms’- a nod to one of the strangest victories in all history.

Sacrifice can be overlooked… even forgotten. I read about a man who had a cardiac arrest on a busy sidewalk in 2013.

Nearby, an experienced first responder paramedic immediately abandoned personal plans in order to get the victim’s non-existent pulse and heart rhythm back to normal - then accompanied him in transit to the nearest emergency department and cardiac care unit.

That patient recovered and told his story often. Years later it occurred to him he had inadvertently overlooked the first responder who gave up what he was doing that day to save his life.

He regretted he had not given that person a second thought. He realised he had taken something for granted instead of acknowledging a debt of gratitude for the first responder’s sacrifice.

“I didn’t think about him when I told the story of the day my life was saved. I relegated him to a bit player rather than the star of the story.”

We’re also capable of overlooking or forgetting a great sacrifice made on our behalf.

The sufferings and death of Christ on the cross were for our gain and benefit. If you have never felt any debt of gratitude nor even seen the direct relevance of this to your life… it warrants investigation and serious consideration.

Ballet star in the making

By Viv Posselt

Ruby Jack’s wide-eyed enthusiasm for dance at just three years old set her on a

course to fulfil her dream career.

The St Peter’s Catholic School Year 8 student wants to dance ballet on the

international stage. Now aged 12, she seems to have what is needed to get her there… single-minded determination, commitment to a gruelling work schedule, demonstrable talent, and grit.

“I want to get a scholarship to dance full-time in a ballet school programme, preferably in Europe. That has always been my dream,” said Ruby. “It is really hard work … but I love it, and now I can see it coming closer and closer.”

Far from being starryeyed, Ruby is working hard to earn her dancing stripes.

Early training was with Hamilton’s Valerie Lissette School of Dance, and a couple of years ago she was selected to dance with the Imperial Russian Ballet on one of their tours here.

While at that school, she was also having private lessons with Hamilton dance teacher Leona Robinson, who was so impressed by Ruby that she steered her towards the Mt Eden Ballet Academy in Auckland, a prestigious school linked to Royal New Zealand Ballet (RNZB) and the NZ School of Dance.

Ruby started there at the beginning of 2020, continuing her training via Zoom during

lockdown and travelling weekly to Auckland for lessons. At the beginning of this year, she was one of a selected few offered a position with Future Dancers, a transitional programme designed with a professional ballet career in mind.

Her current schedule is tough. With the school’s permission, she skips Thursday’s tuition for a couple of heavy training sessions in Auckland. Then it’s home again, and back to Auckland on Saturday for additional training. She also swims with the St Peter’s School swim squads before school on Mondays and Thursdays.

“We know how exhausting

her schedule is and understand the pressure, so we make sure she has down time at home… time when she just blobs out,” said mum Ally Jack.

Examinations and competitions are part and parcel of the effort. Ruby’s most recent achievements include winning the title of the most promising dancer for the Waikato, winning in a 12-14 years’ category for a scholarship, and numerous other firsts, seconds or thirds.

She also danced her first ‘variation dance’, a gruelling technique-based challenge, and got second runner-up, and did well in a four-day exam prep workshop, picking up the Excellence

She mixes with dancers from the RNZB from time to time, attending warmup sessions for recent performances of Giselle.

THE AGE OF REASON

Book Review

Steve Hansen – The Legacy Let’s talk about the G word Review by Hautapu head rugby coach Sean Hohneck Gregor Paul’s “Steve Hansen The Legacy” is a detailed and enjoyable chronology of the coaching career of one the great professional sports coaches.

Rugby enthusiasts will love it for the detailed and enjoyable journey Paul takes his readers on. Offering a different perspective in that this story is told not by the man himself rather by a journalist, and the narrative would suggest one of Hansen’s many fans.

Readers are taken on a well-travelled road where Paul uses insights and access to many of the game’s great players and coaches to shine a light on key moments and decisions during a golden period in All Black rugby.

Most intriguing is the insight it gives into the role of the media and how Hansen learnt

to manage his interactions with them. In Paul’s opinion it is clear this is a key reason for Hansen’s success and longevity.

Readers will also enjoy interesting commentary and reflection from a variety of sources on talking points like the 2017 Lions tour and that semi- final against England in 2019. Paul offers mild criticism of Hansen in his weaker moments, and he is blunt and unreserved in his comparison to fellow coaches.

Offering a thoughtful analysis into the mind and motivations of our most successful All Blacks coach, it will leave readers keeping an eye on bookshelves for the story from the man himself.

By Peter Carr

Opinion pieces are viewed by readers in differing ways. Some think they are the diehard view of the writer. Others feel that they are trying to attract attention. And yet another group see the authors as stirring a pot if not only to create a conversation.

From the large number of comments, I receive it appears that the latter is the generally accepted view so here goes.

And the subject this week is arming the New Zealand police force. Armed, that is, with some form of handgun worn on the hip. Whether in part of the force or in the whole I leave you to judge. But imagine a dark, wet night where a vigilant solo officer has just pulled over a high-powered car for the right reason. And when standing on the driver’s side is faced with a gun poking at him held by a wild looking character who may well be high, and thus irrational, on P. Now imagine the conversation. The officer has the option to taser the miscreant (who smartly closes the window) or seek a pause in the proceedings while he/she walks back to the police car, opens the trunk, further opens the safe that contains a firearm and then walks back to the offending vehicle.

Enough of that rubbish - but that is the option. So, this week I have been perusing the August edition of Police – the regular printed organ of the Police Association.

There are nine letters to the editor. No less than two thirds of them directly address the issue of needing to arm the police, at the very least those on the front line (which includes car patrols). A sadness for me is the internal ‘scare’ culture apparent in the police as four of the writers have withheld their names.

What is also clear is the fear that, in a

police force where the Commissioner rules supreme, there is clear pressure from the political spectrum to shy away from arming our fine people in blue. In Australia, where hip-born guns are very apparent with uniformed officers we do not hear of USA-style shoot-outs where a cyclist exceeding the speed limit is faced with a posse of gun-toting police officers. Many may not know that the uniformed police at our international airports wear firearms all the time on duty, but we have not seen any evidence of this deterrent being the arbiter of mass killing. And that is what the hip firearm is – a deterrent that tells would-be offenders that the wearer is fully trained and has the right to shoot to diffuse a situation if it turns ugly.

It would also be fair to record that the letters are headed with subject matter – two of which specifically mention the gangs and the other defiles the police minister as being out of her depth. I have no comment on that as I can only be guided by the contents of the letter. But it has always been my understanding that the Commissioner is totally divorced from political influence or pressure. He or she is not swayed by political statements. This is so the public can have total confidence in a force that is clamouring for (but not receiving promptly) sufficient front-line staff. In July 2017 – 4 years ago – a promise was made to increase the constabulary numbers by 1800. As of July this year the target has only been met to the tune of just under 59 per cent.

They’re all dab hands...

There’s the rugby sevens – and now Waipā Bridge players are back enjoying the Cambridge sixes An annual competition which draws on the fun of sevens rugby celebrations enjoyed its eighth annual outing last weekend, and the card playing contestants would not have looked out of place at the oval ball social equivalent.

The Cambridge Sixes and the Cambridge Bridge Club was the brainchild of Michael Neels.

The numbers of participants had increased every year until

CAMBRIDGE NEWS | 15

Covid played a bad hand in 2020 and the event was cancelled.

This year’s return saw numbers down – but there were still 36 teams of six from Waikato, Auckland and New Plymouth.

“It is a great fun event with two people from each Bridge grade forming a team of six – two open, two intermediate and two juniors,” Cambridge Bridge Club spokesperson Euncie Eccles explained. “The scores are combined at the end to find a winner.”

This year’s winners were Wally and the Wallettes from Mt

Albert and Kerikeri. The Rotorua Aces were second and 5 No Strumpets + 1 from North Shore were third.

The best combined Cambridge and Te Awamutu team was Stopgoologists in tenth. The team featured Michael Neels and Nick Cantlon of Te Awamutu.

Four Cambridge players featured in the Riverboat Gamblers, a combined team with Auckland which finished seventh.

The best Te Awamutu team was the Rose Town Stars, in 34th position. The event was at the Sir Don Rowlands Event Centre.

Stopgoologists comprised Steve Hunt, Michael Neels, Nick Cantlon, Tony Davies, Chris Van Empel and Hennie Van Empel.

California Dreaming were Sue McKenzie, Christine MacDonald, Nandy Costa, Heather Kneebone, Sonia Crawford and Sandra Gissing

Know your principal When it comes to picking the right school for your children to attend there are a number of factors to choose. While some people may be limited by the number of schools in their area Cambridge have several options available, however it is key to select the one that will best suit your child’s needs.

 Where are my child’s friends going?

Due to enrolment schemes and zoning you may find that your choice of school is limited. Having said this, you are still free to apply to enrol your child at any state school you choose.

Most children attend the school closest to where they live. If for some reason you decide this isn’t the best option for your child, you are free to explore other schooling options.

 Does the school cater for my child’s interests/gifts?

How do I decide on a school?

Choosing a primary school can be much like choosing which early childhood education centre your child should attend. The biggest difference will be your options – there are a great deal more ECE (early childhood education) service providers to choose from than there will be schools.

 Does the school provide an after-school programme in case I am working?  What is the roll size of the school?

Will my child cope in an environment with that many other children?  Do I like it?  Does the school have a uniform?  What will they expect from me as a parent?

 Does the school cater for how my child learns?

Word of Mouth

The first place to start with your research is by listening to word of mouth recommendations from other parents. There is often a lot of chatter in the community about schools, which school seems to do what well, and what the weaknesses of a certain school seem to be from a parent’s perspective.

Ask parents with children the same age as yours where they think they might send their child. These sorts of conversations are often heard at daycares and kindys, and then as your child gets older there will be talk about whether co-educational or single sex schools are better for intermediate and college students.

 Should I choose a school that is close to home or close to work?

Don’t be afraid to ask ECE teachers or teachers at primary schools their opinion of local schools. They may have a little more first-hand or ‘grapevine’ knowledge about them.

 How will my child get to and from school?

A word of warning – when you are

Think about the practicalities

WHERE ARE MY CHILD’S FRIENDS GOING? considering what others say about schools keep in mind that a lot of what they tell you is opinion based and may not always be grounded in fact. Obviously if a pattern starts to appear with what people are saying, it will be worth paying more attention.

Education Review Office (ERO)

The ERO regularly reviews and reports on schools in New Zealand to assess the level of education and care that students are receiving at that school.

ERO specifically evaluates student achievements, teaching, professional leadership, and the way the school is governed.

A typical report will include:  A profile of the school or service, including the roll, the number of staff and dates of previous ERO reviews.

 Identification of areas of good performance.  Identification of areas where the school needs to improve.  Recommendations for future action.  A summary for parents and the community.

The report will be very detailed enabling you to form a good idea of how the school is performing.

These ERO reports are available to the public to read and are an excellent source of information when you are trying to decide on a school. You can ask the school directly for a copy of their most recent ERO report to read or you can find it on-line at www.ero.govt.nz Also, one of the best options is to contact a school directly and maybe visit with your child to see if it is the perfect fit or attend the open information nights that are offered by many of the schools in the area, which are advertised between mid-August to the end of September annually.

 Findings about the quality of education received by schools.

At Cambridge East School we believe in putting the learner at the centre of everything we do. We encourage our learners to strive for the school motto of “Always My Best” by stepping outside of their comfort zone and trying new things as opportunities arise. We offer a range of options as part of our Enrich and Discover Programme, and strongly support the Learning Through Play ethos, along with Inquiry Learning.

We understand that every child is unique, and by offering three distinctive teaching centres we can provide the learning environment best suited to meet the needs of your child, setting them up for success as citizens of tomorrow.

We take great pride in the cultural work we are doing to learn about our local area and its history, and making Cambridge East School a culturally inclusive environment for all of our learners.

Letters…

Making decisions I first started imploring our District Council in December 2019, through the News, to bar vaping and electric scooters in our CBD. I made the point that to be fair this decision needed to be made before parents invested in electric scooters and vapor retailers invested in commercial property. It has taken council just on 20 months to finally decide they do not want vaping in public places.

Hooray! I pity the retailer who decided to invest in vaping goods while council dilly-dallied for almost two years. There is still no decision on electric scooters in the CBD. Do we wait another two years for this decision?

Perhaps it may require an elderly, hard of hearing citizen to be badly injured by one of these scooters before council can make a decision.

I.S. Thomas Cambridge.

Hong King Phooey The present council have had a number of terms on council and seem to think they are entrenched and appear to want to urbanise Waipā as a whole.

With their attitude with Hamilton city and Waikato district council, they don’t see the town boundaries as set in concrete and are combining to make these three councils into another Auckland supercity, but covertly and secretly, costing us dearly. We have seen it with imposed water restrictions when we pay to have uninterrupted water supply, but to help Hamilton during summer period we are restricted in our water supply – where is the future proofing? A greater populous won’t help this, it will just add more pressure on restricted resources. Where are the resources coming from?

They have in place, a transfer of development right. Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) is a voluntary, incentive-based programme that allows landowners to sell development rights from their land to a developer or other interested party who then can use these rights to increase the density of development at another designated location.

With around two thirds of Waipa potentially being developed into another Hong Kong with high rise apartments, this is growth for growth sake, drawing people to Waipā for more rates money.

The natural internal births-deaths population growth does not require this amount of housing development, contrary to what we are told.

Bernie Fynn Te Awamutu

Waipa derby goes to Cambridge Cambridge won this year’s Waipā football derby, beating Te Awamutu 3-1 in the WaiBop Championship.

Local rivalry not only brings out the competitive spirit in supporters, but also it can divide families – and none more so than on the pitch.

Playing for Cambridge was midfielder Haydn Roil, a former Te Awamutu player who joined Cambridge for their push for this year’s championship title.

Opposing him in goal for Te Awamutu was brother Joel – who usually plays outfield.

All four goals were scored before half-time before the local rivals locked each out in an even second half at John Kerkhof Park.

Cambridge who drew first blood with a goal from Tom Woutersen after 16 minutes and a minute later, Jordan Silvester doubled Cambridge’s lead.

Four minutes before the break, Ewan ScottDickins pulled back a goal for the visitors, but their hopes of a revival were short-lived as Aaron Jenkins scored Cambridge’s third on the stroke of half-time.

Cambridge maintained their lead till the final whistle, taking the three points that keeps them at the top of the championship table. The side two games left and a three-point lead over Tauranga Old Blues – but the Bay side has two games in hand.

Meanwhile, Cambridge’s first team, the Reds, made their longest trip of the Lotto NRFL season, playing Northland at Whangarei’s Trigg Arena.

Brothers in arms – Haydn and Joe Roil squared off against each other last weekend.

Despite losing 3-1, Cambridge remains in contention for promotion from division two.

Northland went ahead after 16 minutes through Mitchell Hanmore and almost on the hour he found the net again - this time putting through his own goal to give Cambridge an equaliser.

Two minutes later, Kyle Levell restored Northland’s lead and with a few minutes left, Hanmore made up for his own goal, scoring Northland’s third.

The result leaves Cambridge in fifth place on the table, one of a cluster of clubs chasing Onehunga Mangere United and Fencibles United who currently fill the promotion places.

This Saturday they travel to leaders Onehunga Mangere United.

In the early game at Whangarei, Cambridge U-23s continued their improved form, beating Northland 1-0. The 86th-minute winner was scored by 16-year-old Matthew Jordan, his first goal in senior club football.

Cambridge’s women’s team remain in a twoteam race for the Waikato

Women’s Division Two title after a 4-0 win at Morrinsville.

Scorers were Steph Upton (2), Olivia Milne and Rachel Hill.

Cambridge and Ngaruawahia United are locked in the title race and are likely to be separated by goal difference.

In Waikato Division 1, Cambridge had the better of the first half against Matamata Swifts, leading 2-1 with two goals from leading scorer Peter Buesnel but the hosts equalised in the second half with a longrange shot.

In Waikato Division 4, Cambridge ensured they will finish no worse than second in the competition to beating Waihi 3-2. The goals came from Chris Hill, Andrew Myers and Jack Harman – who scored a fortuitous winner when his low drive was fumbled into the net by the Waihi goalkeeper.

The Cambridge over35s D1 team lost 2-1 at Northern United.

Mariano Castellon scored in the 55th minute to level but United scored the winner when a cross drifted into goal with 10 minutes to go.

Butcher off to a flyer

Benjamin Butcher (pictured below) is off to a flyer this season, recording a treble of wins at Alexandra Park on Thursday night and bringing up his 200th driving victory in the process.

He won the first race on the card, the Join The Breeders Mobile Trot (1609m), with Minnie Bow Tique. The South Auckland reinsman, who was born and brought up in Cambridge is the son of David, one of the country's best-ever drivers, and younger brother of Zachary.

“She is an honest wee horse and she has been running some really good races,” Butcher said.

“Over that mile tonight and being able to get that lead early, and not have too tough of a run, really helped her.”

That victory brought Butcher’s career tally to 199 wins and he was able to bring up his double-century three races later with Kerri Maguire in the Lazarus Standing At Alabar F&M Mobile Pace (1609m).

While pleased to reach the milestone, Butcher said the occasion was made even greater by the fact it was achieved in the colours of his employer, Stonewall Stud.

“To get that 200th winner with Steven (Telfer, trainer) was a pretty special thing, seeming as he has been such a big supporter of mine,” Butcher said.

“It was also good to see Kerri Maguire back to what we thought she was.”

Butcher wasn’t done for the night, extending his win tally for the night to three when reining home Riverboy

Ben to win on debut in the Betavet Supports NI Breeders Mobile Pace (1609m), giving trainers Steve and Amanda Telfer a double for the meeting.

“It was a good fresh-up run by Riverboy Ben,” Butcher said. “He qualified quite well. He is still quite green in his racing, but he will get there.”

Butcher was tipped to record his fourth victory of the night behind race favourite Dance Time in the NZB Standardbred FFA Mobile Pace (1609m), however, he faded to last after sitting parked.

“It never really suits him sitting parked,” Butcher said.

“It’s just one we have got to take on the chin and move onto the next one.”

Fresh off his best season to date with 47 wins, Butcher is looking forward to this term, particularly with Stonewall Stud opening a southern barn later this year.

“It is going to turn into a pretty big operation and I am pretty lucky to be a part of it and be one of the stable drivers,” Butcher said.

“It was a really good season for myself, as well as Steven and Amanda.

Hopefully we can go a little bit better this year and keep improving.” - Joshua Smith, Harness News Desk

Further finalists announced for NZTR Horse of the Year Jamie Richards (pictured right) will be out on his own again at the 2021 New Zealand Thoroughbred Horse of the Year awards.

The 31-year-old Matamata horseman is already assured of being named Trainer of the Year for the third time.

The second group of finalists for the Horse of the Year awards were announced by New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing today and Richards, who heads the Te Akau Racing team, was so dominant in the past season that he has repeated last year’s achievement of being the sole nominee for Trainer of the Year.

He set new marks in terms of domestic wins, stake earnings and Group and Listed wins, establishing benchmarks that will not be easy to match in the new season.

The stable won 13 of the 21 Group One races staged in New Zealand and another two in Australia, which, in terms of wins, made Richards and Sydney trainer Chris Waller the most successful Group One trainers in Australasia.

Richards’ partner, Danielle Johnson, is a finalist for Jockey of the Year and has obvious credentials after topping the jockeys’ premiership with 151 wins, 60 more than her nearest rival.

The other finalists are Opie Bosson, a six-time winner of the title, and Craig Grylls, whose wins included the New Zealand Derby.

The finalists for Jumper of the Year – Magic Wonder, The Cossack and Yardarm

– between them won 10 jumping races from 15 attempts in the 2020-21 season, which ended on July 31.

Nine finalists have been selected for Owner of the Year, including Cambridge Stud proprietors Brendan and Jo Lindsay, who took the title last year. Joan Egan, Hermitage Thoroughbreds, Kevin Hickman, NZ Thoroughbred Holdings and Sir Peter Vela are also returning finalists from 2020.

The further finalists are: Champion Jumper: Magic Wonder, The Cossack, Yardarm.

Jockey of the Year: Opie Bosson, Craig Grylls, Danielle Johnson.

Jumps Jockey of the Year: Shaun Fannin, Dean Parker, Shaun Phelan.

THURSDAY AUGUST 12, 2021

Williams bullish on Catalyst Group One winning galloper Catalyst was back in action at the Cambridge trials last Thursday and pleased his connections when finishing a nose second behind stablemate Marchioness in a hit-out over 950m.

The dominant force as a spring and summer three-year-old of his year in New Zealand, Catalyst has raced just once in the past 18 months, when pulling up sore after trailing the field home in the Gr.2 The Shorts (1100m) last spring.

The now five-year-old is having his first campaign for trainer Tony Pike, after his former conditioner Clayton Chipperfield stepped away from training, and the son of Darci Brahma presented a noticeably more mature horse at Cambridge on Thursday.

Raced by The Oaks Stud’s Dick Karreman, Catalyst has options on both sides of the Tasman, with connections delighted to see the galloper retain his zest for racing.

“He’s 40 to 50 kilos heavier than he was as a three-year-old, so he’s certainly muscled up,” The Oaks Stud General Manager Rick Williams said.

“He hasn’t raced for a year, but he’s been in and out of the water treadmill, so he’s never spent a long time in the paddock.

“I’m thrilled with him and he’s pulled up well this morning (Friday). He had a substantial blow, so that should help clean him out nicely.”

Catalyst will likely trial again with races such as the Gr.2 Valachi Downs Foxbridge Plate (1200m) at Te Rapa and the Gr.1 Tarzino Trophy (1400m) at Hawke’s Bay potential kick-off points.

Williams is wary of the Te Rapa track given Catalyst failed on the sandy surface at the first start of his career, while the galloper is 23rd in the order of entry for the Hawke’s Bay assignment, which has a capacity of 16 runners.

“At his first start there, he got beaten when we thought he was a sure thing. The Foxbridge is the obvious race but I’m just nervous to go there,” he said.

“We’re taking it one day at a time and one trial at a time. There are other options. If push comes to shove, we’ll go to Australia, where there are plenty of options, but I’d rather give him a run in New Zealand first.”

Meanwhile, Williams has confirmed that after an absence from the sales ring at Karaka last year, The Oaks Stud will be presenting horses for sale at both the New Zealand Bloodstock Ready To Run Sale and at January’s National Yearling Sales.

“We have got six colts by Darci Brahma going to the Ready to Run Sale and we have 16 colts by a variety of stallions entered for the yearling sales next year,” he said.

“We will be retaining our fillies.

“We certainly broke in a lot of yearlings last season, probably about 30.

“We have some lovely just-turned threeyear olds and by the autumn we will have a fair few of the two-year-olds in work.

“A three-year-old filly I like called Gwithian Bay trialled up nicely for third yesterday and is not far off going to the races. She was an Iffraaj filly we bought off Haunui Farm, and we bought another filly this year.”

Williams labelled fellow three-year-old fillies Chanel and Arabian Sea as horses to follow, while there are also several Darci Brahma geldings in the stud’s racing and trade team that have shown early promise.

“Unless we have a horse that is very mature and fairly forward, and from a two-year-old family, we tend not to do much spring and

summer two-year-old racing.

“We generally ease them into it in the new year and horses like Recite and Chant, who won Group races before Christmas, were exceptions for The Oaks racing team. We really try to target the Guineas and the Oaks and we have been very successful.”

Williams is no longer on the board of New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing, but is pleased to see the Cambridge synthetic track, which was fast-tracked while he was a director, playing a key role in preparing horses in winter and early spring.

As the breeding season looms, Williams is looking forward to the arrival of Coolmore shuttle stallion US Navy Flag, who will join The Oaks Stud after two seasons at Valachi Downs, who have scaled back, and will complement proven sires Darci Brahma, Niagara and Roc de Cambes at the Cambridge property.

“It has been a busy few years with the sub-division of some land here at The Oaks and we are looking ahead at the future, and it certainly looks a lot brighter now,” Williams said in reference to positive announcements in New Zealand racing.

“It is one of the reasons, other than the fact that I just love his progeny, that we are standing US Navy Flag. It seemed crazy to let a horse of that calibre slip out of New Zealand and I was going to use him anyway.

“We certainly haven't ruled out standing stallions in the future, so we’ll just keep an open mind on that. It was just that probably in the last few years it was hard to encourage Dick to invest any more in terms of stallions with the foal crop falling and the prize money struggling, but there's a light at the end of the tunnel now.” The stud has been keen to maintain broodmare numbers of just over 50 mares in recent years after peaking at as many as 120 at one stage. – NZ Racing Desk
