Jim: I’m standing again By Mary Anne Gill
Waipā mayor Jim Mylchreest will stand again at next year’s local body elections - telling voters a recent stroke will not affect his ability to lead the council for a fourth term. “I’m really keen to do another term if people are happy to have me. Yes, I’m up to the job, people need to know that,” Mylchreest, 68, said while acknowledging rumours about his health were already out in the community. “I’m feeling fit now. There are so many changes coming with local government. I feel I’ve got that much experience now to be able to help Waipā.” It was 10 days before Easter this year and Mylchreest was at home working in the garden. “It came right out of the blue, a stroke. I wouldn’t have known I had it if my wife (Robyn) hadn’t come home for lunch.” His face was drooped and his nonsensical answers to Robyn’s questions were classic signs of a warning stroke, known as Transient Ischaemic Attacks (TIA). A TIA is the same as a stroke, except that the signs last for a short amount of time and no longer than 24 hours.
Mylchreest said he did not have high cholesterol or blood pressure, never smoked and only has the occasional drink. But he conceded he was carrying too much weight.
“I absolutely want people to know about (strokes). I had no symptoms beforehand but once you get them, you get to the doctor, you just do it.” Mylchreest had a shower
before going to a local medical centre, something he says was a mistake. “The moment you have any symptoms, get it seen to, the first three hours are critical.”
If Robyn had not come home, he would have kept working and the symptoms would have gone, and he would probably have been none the wiser.

More than one in 12 people will have a stroke within a week of a TIA. After the mini stroke, Mylchreest spent a night in Waikato Hospital’s stroke unit where he was given blood thinners and a brain scan. On discharge he was not permitted to drive for a month and told to make changes to his lifestyle. “It was a bit of a wake-up call.” Asked whether he felt the job as mayor added to the problem, Mylchreest said he never felt like he was under pressure. “Obviously it is a stressful job on occasions, but I’m feeling fit now. I was lucky.” Mylchreest said local government was going to undergo huge changes in the next five years and his experience would be critical. Before becoming mayor in 2013, Mylchreest, an old boy of Te Awamutu College, spent 25 years in local government management including a lengthy period at Waipā District Council. From 2002-2009 he was chief executive at Maungatautari Ecological Island Trust, the largest ecological restoration project in New Zealand. At the 2019 elections, Mylchreest was re-elected mayor unopposed.

Community Board Following last weeks front page news story “Community Boards to get the Chop?” I would like to correct an error in my report. In the article it stated that I had said: “None of the community board support the concept of a committee.” This was not completely true as I was only referring to the elected community board members not the appointed councillors and I should have clarified this fact. A better wording would have been “community board excluding appointed councillors do not support the committee concept at this stage”. At an informal meeting we had chosen to discuss community boards vs committees with only the elected community board members not the appointed councillors. We already knew their views were in favour of committees and they would have their say at the public excluded workshop where our recommendations were to be given. In addition, one of the elected community board members was unable to attend the zoom meeting discussion. After sharing, via email with that member and getting no response, I assumed that they did not object to the recommendations. However, this did not turn out to be the case. This issue was raised at our last Community Board meeting, and I apologised for not being accurate with my wording and to assure the members that this would not happen again. In the interest of full transparency, I recommended that we move a resolution to indicate who supported retaining community boards in the representation review process. The motion was passed 4 in favour (Ange Holt, Gary Derbyshire, Kane Titchener and Jill Taylor) 3 against (Richard Hurrell, Cr Lou Brown and Cr Susan O”Regan). Ange Holt Chairperson Te Awamutu Community Board Sportspeople The recent tragic events surrounding the Velodrome show that the executives of High Performance NZ have a callous attitude toward sportspeople and as George Clooney once said, “who do we see about that?” It is very well to publish numbers for people to ring if they might think they are in a hole they cannot get out of, but the reality is that the coaches and mentors of elite sports people have a very short sighted approach to the welfare of Olympians and exOlympians. Where is their plan B for after the end of a short but stellar career? Where is the support for those where were good enough but did not make the team? Too much worth is placed on winning and not enough on helping people be healthy. We need more tracks for gentle bike riding and not a $27 million dollar facility for a few supposed elite people. When this Velodrome was built there was a majority in opposition to it for various reasons. Not the least was that it was to cater only for “elite” cyclists. We seem to think that being the fastest person on two wheels around an oval is a valuable asset for the community. It is not. (Abridged) James Parlane Te Awamutu

THURSDAY AUGUST 19, 2021
A dazzling array of dance styles and routines were on display at St Peter’s annual “Aspire” dance showcase last week. The evening served as an assessment platform for the school’s curriculum dance students and was a chance for family and friends to see the fruits of all the time and energy students put into rehearsing. Co-curricular troupes were featured throughout the evening resulting in students from all year levels experiencing live performance.
On the beat with Senior Constable DEB THURGOOD
On the receiving end
I want to start with a big thank you to the residents of Te Miro who took time out to attend the meeting last Friday around Rural Crime Prevention, Neighbourhood Support and Community CCTV options. We appreciate all efforts to work together to keep Cambridge safe. In the past I have spoken about theftex-car prevention. We continue to see thefts where valuable items have been left in plain sight outside of an address. I’d like to give another reminder to take any laptops, tablets, wallets etc with you, when you leave your vehicle. If we don’t create a reason for thieves to break into our cars, they are less likely to do so. By reducing thefts, we then reduce the flow on of stolen items into the community. Which takes me to today’s topic of receiving. As has been mentioned in previous columns, thieves steal items that are easy for them to offload, commonly by selling to unsuspecting members of the public, or swapping for drugs. Some of these stolen items end up advertised online such as Facebook Marketplace and Trade Me. We can all play our part in reducing burglaries and thefts by being more aware of such practices and making it harder for stolen items to be sold as if legitimate. If you see a brand new item advertised, or even a multiple of the same item, for a price you know is hugely undervalue, consider where that may have come from. It is wise to do due diligence, asking the question of how long the trader has owned it to protect yourself. Under Section 246 of the Crimes Act 1961, the offence of receiving relates to being in
possession of stolen property. It is an offence for any person to receive any property that has been stolen or obtained by any other imprisonable offence, knowing that property to have been stolen or so obtained, or being reckless as to whether or not the property had been stolen or so obtained. One example is buying a vehicle for a very cheap price or being given it, where the locks and ignition barrel are damaged, clearly indicating it may have been stolen, or worse still being told it was stolen and still buying/driving it. The word reckless in the definition, however, also covers situations where the item may not be so obviously stolen as in that example. Sometimes other factors such as a vastly discounted price for a brand new item would indicate that all was not as it should be. An example of this could be a brand new, unused power tool combo kit for sale well under the recommended retail price in store. When buying a car, it is a good idea to look up the registration of any secondhand vehicle you are preparing to buy on www.carjam. co.nz before you make the purchase. If it has been reported stolen to Police (or has money owing etc), it will show up allowing you to avoid a loss. If you pay good money for a vehicle or other item that you find out is stolen, the vehicle/item will be recovered (taken back off you), yet the likelihood of you getting your money back is low. Crime is connected, let’s break the chain.

Briefs… Here for you Good Local Media has published the Cambridge News and Te Awamutu News, taking into account the Covid lockdown announced on Tuesday. Publisher David Mackenzie said as an essential service providing more than 25,000 copies, free, to Waipā residents - the decision was made to print but distribute copies safely to some urban areas later than usual. Both publications were also posted online earlier than usual. Road tragedy Police are continuing to investigate the death of an Australian man whose body was found on Owairaka Valley Road south of Te Awamutu last week. Joseph Jenkins, 20, had been attending an outdoor adventure camp in the Te Awamutu area. Police think he was hit by a car between 10pm on Wednesday 2.30am Thursday last week. Beautiful nomination Rotary Cambridge has been nominated for a Keep New Zealand Beautiful Award for its recycling work. Ōtorohanga’s Jim Barker Playground and Lake Huiputea also features, as does resident David Williams in the individual section. Rotary’s work features today on Page 13. Alpino wins Alpino Restaurant in Cambridge has been named the outstanding restaurant of the year at the Waikato Hospitality Awards. Chilli House of Hamilton and Cambridge won the outstanding street food/ takeout category. The awards were announced at Wintec on Monday. Mr Pickles Bar & Eatery in Hamilton won the supreme award. Rubbish collections Waipā District Council’s recycling collection service will continue as normal under all Covid-19 Alert Levels, except for the assisted/ narrow street service which is on hold during Alert Level 4 due to the manual handling required.
Council backs the boards By Mary Anne Gill
Waipā District councillors have recommended a reduction to their numbers, boundary changes, the scrapping of a rural ward and the retention of its two community boards. The recommendations, made at a Finance and Corporate committee meeting this week, now go to the public for feedback. At the meeting deputy chief executive Ken Morris took a swipe at The News for its coverage on the future of community boards. Morris said he felt The News “potentially misrepresented the situation to the public,” when it reported last week discussions were held in “secret.” “Quite clearly there was never (any) intention for this to be a secretive process so yes there were certainly some workshops around this matter which enabled some free and frank pre discussion but of course there was always right from the start engagement with the community boards alongside those workshops,” he said. “This was always going to be a public process and indeed it is.” Several politicians who contacted The News after
we revealed staff favoured getting rid of community boards, suggesting it was central government driving the proposal. A spokesperson for Local Government minister Nanaia Mahuta refuted that, saying the government did not decide whether councils had community boards or not. “That is a matter for the council,” the spokesperson said. Te Awamutu councillor Marcus Gower said in the meeting he was disappointed the public were not at the workshop as councillors had a “very robust discussion” and the council was now getting a boiled down version of what was discussed. Deputy mayor Liz Stolwyk said due to the publicity last week, the community told her they wanted community boards to stay and that is the proposal she felt should go out. The public will consider the following representation changes: • Combine most of the current Pirongia ward with Kakepuku and move part of the Te Awamutu ward into the new Pirongia Kakepuku ward with two councillors (down from three) • Extend the Maungatautari ward to include Kaipaki and
How the new wards would look under the council proposal.
continue with one councillor • Extend the Cambridge ward to Fencourt Road and Hautapu with four councillors (down from five) • Te Awamutu ward to have three councillors (down from four) • Retain two community boards in Te Awamutu and Cambridge with boundary changes The changes recommended follow the decision in May to establish a district-wide
Māori ward. Councillor Susan O’Regan, whose Kakepuku ward would be absorbed into the Pirongia ward under the proposal and was one of three committee members to vote against it, said she was disappointed at the recommendation. “I just want to express my disappointment that we will likely take a path which will not spark conversations in our communities about the need
for effective and meaningful representation at that level. I’m disappointed we don’t get the opportunity to thrash out with our communities the benefits we could find in alternative arrangements.” The others against the proposal were Marcus Gower and Bronwyn Koroheke. Consultation starts on August 27 and closes on September 29 with submissions heard on October 12.
Ratepayers may pay for disgusting behaviour
By Mary Anne Gill
Many Waipā residents continue to contaminate their recycling bins and the gross contamination staff witness is resulting in resignations due to stress. Hypodermic syringes, needles, dialysis and other blood transfusion type bags, soiled dressings, gas bottles, batteries, rotten meat and animal carcasses are just some of the items found in bins, Jennifer Braithwaite, Transportation Operations team leader told the council’s Service Delivery committee this week. The issue has already had extensive coverage in The News. “One main concern with this type of extreme and gross contamination is the health and safety and well-being of the contractor’s staff at the recycling centre who sort through the recycling by hand as it comes up the conveyance belt. “The extreme contamination has taken its toll on staff with at least three people resigning due to
the stress of dealing with such gross objects in their working environment,” said Braithwaite. Early this year a fire broke out at the recycling centre due to a battery that exploded. “Luckily staff were able to contain the fire very quickly.” Ratepayers are likely to foot a bigger bill than budgeted, she said. “If we cannot get on top of the contamination problem, we are likely to significantly exceed the 2021-2022 budget.” Council collects seven types of recycling, all to be cleaned - plastics No. 1, 2, and 5, paper, cardboard, tins/cans and glass bottles/jars. Everything else is contaminated. The council funded a three-month bin audit to try and understand how the recycling issue could be solved. One out of 10 bins audited were found to contain mid to extreme contamination. The mixed yellow recycling bins caused the most problems. Contamination included general rubbish, oils,
paint and rotten food which can all spread into otherwise good recycling material resulting in entire truck loads having to be sent to landfill, said Braithwaite. Some common types of extreme contamination found in the recycling bins: • household rubbish • food scraps and takeaway packaging • soiled nappies and sanitary pads • medical waste - hypodermic needles, blood transfusion bags • rotten meat, fish and animal carcases • animal waste • household/kitchen appliances • large hard plastics, i.e. washing baskets, plastic bins; garden hoses • garden tools and green waste. The next step is to determine what next whether to continue the audit trial or dispose of contamination in landfill. Braithwaite will provide more information to the council’s Service Delivery committee September meeting.

When Terry Honan takes his sleek 1971 Ford Mustang convertible out for a spin, he knows it will turn heads. Some do a double take when he is on his own because it is a left-hand drive car, others look enviously at the combination of cream vinyl seats, convertible top, and freshly painted candy apple red colour. The car will be on display at the Waikato Vintage Car Club’s Open Day at the clubrooms in Maclean Street, Cambridge on Sunday while other members are out raising money for the Cancer Society in their annual Daffodil Rally for Cancer. The rally leaves outside Leamington Primary School in Lamb Street at 9.30am and cars of all shapes, sizes and eras are invited to take part. The $10 entry fee goes straight to the Cancer Society. The Vintage Car Club raised more than $60,000 in 2019, the last time the rally was held. Rallies will set out from Cambridge, Te Awamutu,
Morrinsville and Hamilton to converge in Cambridge an hour later for a sausage sizzle, coffee cart and car displays. Terry, a retired Schofield Holden motor mechanic, will have his car there. His wife Annette calls the car Candy because of its bright red colour but Terry prefers to just call it his car. He bought it about two years ago and it is the second Mustang he has owned. He had a 1971 hard top, like the model seen in the James Bond movie Diamonds Are Forever. He also owned a 1964 Austin Healey, a 1966 Chevrolet Impala and a 1971 Triumph Spitfire. Some went better than others. Terry recalls the Spitfire caused him several headaches. So, what is the appeal of a fivelitre petrol guzzling car like the Mustang? “It’s technology I understand,” says Terry who admits he would struggle to service a modern vehicle. “They can keep up with modern traffic too,” he says referring to the V8 engine which helps the car purr effortlessly on the road. The rally will feature vintage (up to 1930s), pre–World War II and classic cars valued at thousands of dollars. Terry says his Mustang owes him at least $70,000 but unlike modern cars, vintage and classic cars hold their value if they are as well looked after as Candy.

Remembering ‘bubbly’ Claire By Steph Bell-Jenkins
Claire Bush.
With her irrepressible joie de vivre, boisterous curls, crazy footwear and love of practical jokes, California-born Cambridge Middle School teacher Claire Bush was “larger than life”. “She brought laughter to any place she went,” said CMS deputy principal Bridget Watkins. “And she wasn’t just joyous herself; she wanted everyone else to join in. If she loved you, you knew, because she wasn’t scared to show you. Our staffroom feels a lot quieter without her.” Claire, who joined Cambridge Middle School in 2017 as a general classroom teacher and later became a team leader, was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2019. She died on August 14 last year aged just 33. It was a devastating loss for her colleagues and students, who adored her, Bridget said. “She has many past students who really felt her loss and love her as much as she loved them.” CMS principal Daryl Gibbs
remembers Claire as “vibrant, loud, bubbly and funny”, hugely popular with staff and students alike. “You heard her coming before you saw her most times,” he said. “Unless she chose to sneak up on you, because she was a practical joker as well.” The mischievous prankster would often slink into classrooms and hide or rearrange things, or plaster everything with Post-it notes. “Nothing was safe with Claire around,” Daryl said. “If you left your phone lying anywhere you’d come back to about 40 selfies of her on it. I guess ultimately she was just awesome with kids because she was a big kid at heart.” It wasn’t until after the effervescent teacher died that her colleagues discovered she was actually an introvert. “It was really interesting when her brother spoke to our staff after she passed away,” Daryl said. “She was actually quite quiet and liked her own time and her own space and to be alone. But a different Claire would jump out of the box at school. So she definitely brought all of herself to teaching.” Last Friday, on the eve of the one-year anniversary of Claire’s death, the much loved teacher was remembered with “crazy hair, shoes and socks day”, which raised $783 for the Cancer Society.

Pā site discovered By Mary Anne Gill
Cambridge Middle School students, from left, Bede Newlands, Adam Finn, Grace Tankard, Colter Lattin, Manuela Johnson, Riley Kuijpers and Tyler Walker wore crazy hair, shoes and socks last Friday as a tribute to Claire Bush.
The day was the latest of a number of efforts the school has made to celebrate her life and support cancer research. Last year a similar fundraiser held a week after her death raised $4500 and earlier this year CMS raised the fourth highest total at Hamilton’s annual Relay for Life event. “Claire’s got such a nice family, a big part of what we keep doing is for them too,” Daryl said. “We want them to feel like this is their home and we are their family.” Bridget said Claire’s parents often popped in to share hugs with staff and “feel a little bit of Claire being close, because this was her place”. In the school foyer, a pair of purple crocheted Converse
slippers sits framed against a cheerful yellow background on a small wooden table beside the school’s trophy display. Staff had them made for Claire as a gift after her illness caused swelling that made it impossible to wear any of her 50-odd pairs of trademark Converse shoes. The slippers arrived three days after she died, so her parents gifted them back to the school. A wooden bench has also been made in Claire’s honour. It will face the field, one of her favourite places at CMS. Daryl hopes it will be a place students can sit if they need some help because Claire always helped others. The plaque reads: “Miss Bush, teacher and friend, be bright, be bold, be you: wear funky socks and Converse shoes. 1988-2020.”
A previously unknown pā site on a landowner’s property near other known archaeology has not held up progress on Te Awa Cycleway’s northward route. Work was stopped when the pā site was discovered. Heritage New Zealand and iwi were notified, and the site recorded in accordance with the heritage consent. The features will be preserved by a sand layer underneath the concrete path. The discovery did not delay the work and the cycleway is still expected to be complete in time for summer. Once completed, the full Te Awa River Ride cycleway will span 70km, generally following the banks of the Waikato River, from Ngaruawahia, through Hamilton and Cambridge, finishing up at Horahora, south of Lake Karapiro. The Hamilton to Cambridge section of the Te Awa River Ride is a 20km shared path, separated from traffic, that connects Hamilton, Tamahere Village, St Peters School, Avantidrome, and Cambridge with a safe, separated cycleway. In a report to Waipā District Council’s Service Delivery committee, transportation manager Bryan Hudson said work is continuing on building concrete paths, boardwalks and retaining structure. The cycle way is part of the $220 million cycleway package included in the Government’s $3 billion ‘shovelready’ infrastructure projects. The project is jointly funded by Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency, and the Government’s COVID-19 Response and Recovery Fund.

A controversial cul-de-sac in Grey Street, Cambridge is nearing completion despite opposition from neighbours who say it is ruining business for a dairy owner. In a report to Waipā District Council’s Service Delivery committee, transportation manager Bryan Hudson said the Hamilton Road improvements made good progress from April through to July. New cul-de-sacs in Grey and Hall streets were nearing completion, work was underway on installing the pedestrian traffic signals near Grey Street and the pedestrian and cycle paths were largely complete. “Council staff visiting the site have had generally positive feedback from residents and pedestrians about the facilities being built,” Hudson said in his report. The path finishes outside Cambridge Resthaven where a recreational path and refuge islands take pedestrians across the road to where Cambridge Athletics and Harrier Club rooms are in the green belt.
But several residents remain concerned at the impact the work has had on Grey Street Dairy. A Support our Local Dairy petition has attracted nearly 1150 signatures. Petition organiser Tania Cochrane says the road should change back to two-way access so that cars can enter Grey Street from Hamilton Road.
Council is one step closer to finalising its purchase of Cambridge Cosmopolitan Club land and it is being lined up for more pensioner housing. Property projects manager John Miles said Waipā District Council is ready to settle the land but are waiting on a discharge of mortgage over the land. Once that is completed, the land will be transferred to council. The additional 3,139 square metres of land will provide for a net increase of 17 units adding to the adjacent Vaile Court site, which currently holds 14 units, with a further 10 units already planned. Eventually the site will have capacity for 43 units, however there may also be an
opportunity to remove two buildings on the current site to add an additional 10 units. The added council pensioner housing project will also involve Ryman Healthcare who are adding some of their own units in the same location. The one-bedroom units will be built at Vaile Court on the corner of Thompson and Shakespeare Streets and boost the existing Waipā District Council pensioner housing portfolio on the site to 26 dwellings, part of the potential 53 units that could be planned for the site. Ryman is New Zealand’s largest retirement village operator, and its villages are home to more than 12,500 residents.
Dairy owner Wei Na says his business has suffered as a result of the changes.

Lifeline announced for museum By Viv Posselt
Tauwhare Military Museum in Pukemoremore has been saved from closure thanks to an eleventh-hour lifeline thrown last week to its owner Grant Moreland. Grant is the son of the private museum’s founder Andy Moreland – he and his dad spent years building up the exhibits into what has been called one of the most significant private collections of military memorabilia and hardware in the North Island. It has also been the site of many military-type camps and re-enactments and has been used as a film set. Grant told Cambridge News on August 12 that he had recently been given 12 weeks in which to close the museum and move it and its contents from the family-owned farm it has occupied from about 1988. The farm is being sold, he said, a decision coming on the back of years of legal wrangling following Andy’s death in 2017. Earlier on August 12, Grant received confirmation of the museum’s rescue at the hands of a benefactor prepared to offer space and a new purpose-built building for the collection, albeit about 30 minutes further from Cambridge than it is presently. “It’s a fantastic lifeline … I’m still pinching myself,” he said. “I won’t go into details now, other than to say he is someone keen to give the museum a new home. I’m very grateful and relieved beyond words.” Until the reprieve, Grant spoke emotionally of getting through one of the darkest periods of his life. An injury to his shoulder meant he had to take time off his job in Hamilton – time, it turned out, he needed for what was coming.
“Talk about stress … I know about that now. I was born on this farm, and apart from a short time away, have lived here all my life. My parents Andy and Dawn Morleand were here with my grandfather Jack. My wife Kim and I live in Jack’s original house … it was here that dad and I worked together for years to build up this museum. Two weeks ago, I was told I had 12 weeks to get off the farm and move the museum and all its contents.” Grant spent a few days at their holiday home in Whitianga trying to come to terms with the decision, then came back and put something up on social media where a clamour of support helped him rally. Last Friday, transportation vehicles arrived to remove the iconic aircraft at the farm entrance. It’s a Bandeirante, a Brazilian aircraft popular in the 1980s, now going to a new home at the New Zealand Air Museum in Wanaka. The man doing that, said Grant, is one of the aeroplane’s original pilots. Other historic vehicles have found homes; some will go to speciality museums around the country. “I am finally seeing light at the end of the tunnel, but there is a lot of packing up to do,” he said. Grant opened the museum to the public for the last time at its present site last weekend, then removed the signage. He said he will keep the public informed as to where and when the museum will re-open. In the meantime, he needs to access some 40ft containers. “They are almost impossible to get hold of right now, and we are absolutely desperate.” Anyone who can help can contact Grant on 027 879 3385.

AGE OF REASON
FAITH IN WAIPĀ
In support of the boards
Silence is not always golden
Those who have had the benefit of spare time may well have attended (as the public) meetings of the local council. Not, I hasten to add, just the Waipā Council but any of the 72-or-so councils up and down the country, and witnessed the breath-taking rapier wit, parry and thrust of the proceedings. And just when it is getting sexy – or at least a little bit interesting - listening with dismay as the chair of the gathering announces that the deeper discussion will go forward under ‘public excluded’. In my earlier days of being elected to a public body in Wellington I used to fight the chairman when this weighty dictum was uttered but usually lost the argument. And then the ‘public’ – a lone local newspaper junior reporter - was slung out of the magnificent room in which we conducted the meetings. Luckily sensible legislation in 1989 changed that and a commercial board was appointed. But on that same sensible date – as far as district or city councils were concerned - there came into being the layer (lower layer) of community boards. They often comprised wannabe councillors who, initially, were possibly never going to make it at the Big Table. They were perceived as lightweights but, nevertheless, with a burning desire to serve the community and hopefully wait for a slot to open when a long-serving councillor, having received their shiny gong, had slunk off into the ether to reflect on the good to which they had contributed. Lest I offend someone, this is not always the case, and I am happy to call some excouncillors my friend and they have my deep respect. The reason for this diatribe is that last
Sixteen months ago, I expressed in this column the risk of us becoming like frogs blissfully heating in a pot unaware they are slowly being brought to the boil. Since then, the push for social engineering in our country has accelerated at such an astonishing pace that the New Zealand I grew up in appears unrecognisable in many respects. I’m not knocking every change that has been taking place in our social landscape, since positive elements exist like the rising tide of te ao Māori. The renewed interest in our indigenous culture is sweeping away old attitudes and helping to restore the dignity and positive influence of Māori. Despite positive advances, it’s hard to ignore the relentless bombardment of an emboldened government stealthily imposing radical restructuring upon our nation. Just when you think they surely can’t have more “up their sleeves”, the government pulls out yet another card to add to their suite of aberrant ideology. As if we didn’t have enough on our plate already, having had among the most liberal abortion laws in the world thrust on us, a close squeak with legalisation of cannabis being narrowly halted (at least for now), then hate speech law raising its head along with confusing gender ideology and the ‘conversion therapy’ debate - to name a few. Now there’s another bewildering bill that will deem birth certificates meaningless as the gender fluid narrative is advanced. Good governance implements policy for the wellbeing of those it serves. Yet significant numbers of our elected ‘public servants’ seem distracted, implementing personal agendas, disregarding lawful process or genuine care for the wider good of

week there emerged an anguished howl from the chairs of the two (Waipā) community boards when faced with the aftermath of an alleged (secret) council meeting where their likelihood of an early political demise was discussed. Now I have always understood that community boards were in place to enable Joe Public to put forward ideas, observations in the hope that they would find fertile ground with the mayor and elected colleagues. The web site of Local Government New Zealand has a six-pronged description of the Community Board role of which the lead one states – ‘represent and act as an advocate for the interests of the community’. In Cambridge each meeting commences with a period where any member of the community may address the board on any subject matter that they feel should have greater involvement or interest of the full council. It’s a very fair and open proceeding where attendees are treated with courtesy while being given an opportunity to be heard. In my case I have only used this machinery twice - both with positive and rewarding success. Try that at a council meeting and it will be squashed by the heavy-handed bureaucracy that sits around the edge of the room. My point is this. If the community boards are to be removed and replaced with some form of council sub-committee their interface with the public – and subsequent effectiveness – will be lost. What is also very important is that the ability for (future) elected councillors to sharpen their teeth and wits in the local government scene, prior to reaching the main table, will dissipate, wither and die.

those they serve. Hopefully as concerned voices are raised, it will restrain our nation from slipping into benign acceptance of autocratic social tinkering being foisted upon us. Instead, real issues facing the nation need solving - child poverty, the housing crisis, mental health, energy issues and other worthwhile projects which formed the basis of election promises. How does this have anything to do with a ‘faith’ column? Well, although there are accepted boundaries between church and state, politics affects us all and in spite of ‘the church’ damaging its credibility in places, it still has a voice. Granted, elements of the church have too often muddied the waters, yet a distinction can be drawn between those who walk the talk and those who don’t. Many are rising to be counted, concerned that things are veering off course. I’ve previously referred to governments manipulating the hearts and minds of their people. With the rise of Nazi Germany preWorld War 2, few dissenting voices were raised. But for a handful of exceptions, the church was carried downstream in a wave of fervent ‘nationalism’ and anti-Semitism. Using Jesus’ words, it became ‘salt without flavour’ and therefore good for nothing. Remembering that salt’s purpose is to add flavour and restrain decay or corruption, this is an apt picture. In 1963 American Baptist minister and activist Martin Luther King wrote “our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power and we live in a world of guided missiles and misguided men” If he felt like that nearly 60 years ago, how might he feel today?

Call for action on intersection By Mary Anne Gill
Every time Ōhaupō resident Sue Davies drives to and from Hamilton for work, she’s reminded of the car crash she was involved in on the corner of SH3 and Raynes Road in Rukuhia. On Wednesday last week, as she drove through the intersection with its yellow marking and signs of the crash still on the road, she gulped and said to herself: “that could have quite easily been me”. A person died following a three-vehicle 5.30pm crash there on August 10. Davies is heartbroken for the person’s family and is calling on authorities to do something about the intersection. It was about 4.45pm on March 9 last year when Davies was returning home from her

administration job in Hamilton. Traffic was relatively heavy on Ōhaupō Road/SH3 and road conditions were slippery as she approached the intersection travelling about 80km/h. Out of the corner of her eye she saw a white Hilux 4 x 4 coming out of Raynes Road but it was too late for her to do anything other than brake as her blue Toyota Vitz RS ran into the side of the Hilux. Her car was a write off and Davies would have been to if she had been travelling any faster. She broke her collar bone and right hand and continues to have ongoing physiotherapy treatment. While she was lying in the ambulance waiting to be taken to Waikato Hospital, a resident told Davies’ husband that he was continually fixing his fence because there were
so many accidents at the site. The man in the white Hilux pleaded guilty of careless driving causing injury, was granted a discharge without conviction, and ordered to pay Davies damages. He told Davies in a restorative justice conference that he had simply not seen her as he looked north to get across the busy intersection. Davies has no bitterness towards him; he suffered as much if not more than her, she said. Last week’s crash was the first fatality at the intersection, but figures released to the News by Waka Kotahi show 14 of 26 crashes there since 2011 have happened in the last four years. There have been five crashes resulting in serious injuries since 2013 and 13 non-injury
crashes. Davies said as the industrial sections around Hamilton Airport fill up with workers, the intersection is going to become even busier. Then in a few years Peacockes Road, which is less than 100m from the Raynes Road intersection, will be the entrance to a massive residential subdivision with more than 20,000 people. “I know I was lucky; it was not my time to go that day. Fortunately, I wasn’t speeding or even doing the speed limit. I go over that accident every time I go through the intersection and I’m super cautious. I always look towards Raynes Road because I know it’s going to happen again but hopefully not to me.”

Booze bans announced
By Mary Anne Gill
Significant alcohol-related issues at two Lake Karāpiro activities have resulted in Waipā District Council slapping full liquor bans on the events. The seriousness of the issues at the New Zealand Grand Prix Hydroplane Drivers Club and the Waka Ama Nationals earlier this year gave council little choice. Property Services manager Bruce Nunns said in a report to the Finance and Corporate committee this week staff considered how best to manage behaviour at any future events. Full liquor bans last 24 hours and when used in past years, significantly reduced the incidence of alcohol-related issues.
The full liquor bans will apply to the Waka Ama social event on January 15 and the hydroplane event from February 10-13 next year. On the night of the Waka Ama event, the campground would also be closed. Temporary liquor bans at the Mighty River Domain, in place since 2011 to control alcohol consumption during organised events and over the Christmas/New Year periods, will continue to be in place except for between 5-9pm. That is to allow domain campers to socialise informally at the end of a day’s activities. “The exclusion is limited to the upper campground area. This prevents organised functions involving the service of alcohol from occurring in other parts of the domain, PROUDLY SUPPORTING

such as the main embankment,” said Nunns. “This has been an issue in the past, particularly during larger events such as the Maadi Cup rowing regatta.” Council will pay professional security staff to support site staff in implementing the proposed bans and police will also have a
presence. The bans do not extend to leased facilities such as the Sir Don Rowlands Centre which are licensed to sell alcohol. The first event covered by the temporary liquor ban is the Legion of Rowers event on September 4.
Whitebaiting season starts The 2021 whitebaiting season opened on Sunday with new regulations in place to help ensure a healthy future for the fishery. The regulations were developed following public engagement and consultation which began in 2018. To help make the fishery more sustainable, several adjustments have been made including changes to fishing methods and gear, season length, and upstream fishing limits. Waikato District Operations Manager, Tahi Rangiawha says the new regulations will take pressure off the fishery, improve equity between whitebait fishers and increase the consistency of regulations across New Zealand. “The local approach will include a period of socialisation of the changes

allowing plenty of time for whitebaiters to adapt. We will carry out our regular patrols of the Waikato River and other key sites on the west coast with education as the focus for these trips.” Whitebait face a range of threats and pressures, including habitat degradation, poor water quality, impeded fish passage within river systems as well as fishing pressure. As a result, four of the six species of freshwater fish that are legally classified as whitebait are threatened or at risk.
More evidence about the state of the fishery will be gathered over the next two seasons to continue improving whitebait management over the long term. “We’ll collect additional data from the Waikato River so we can improve our understanding of where and how much whitebaiting occurs, the effectiveness of new regulations, and the success and satisfaction of whitebaiters,” Tahi Rangiawha says. The new regulations will be phased in over three years to make it easier for whitebaiters to adjust. The new regulations will not affect customary fishing rights. This year’s whitebaiting season runs to November 30. The 2022 season will run from September 1 to October 30.

They recycle by the tonne By Mary Anne Gill
When the e-waste ends up in landfills it is an environmental disaster for the district. Urban Miners is supported by Cambridge Rotary, the Waipā Waste Minimisation
Fund and the Cambridge Community Board. Recently Taupō MP Louise Upston and three Waipā district councillors toured the group’s warehouse which is in a secret location to prevent
unlawful dumping. There volunteers strip out what can be reused. Metals, glass and circuit boards are supplied to willing partners while any items which could be resold go to Cambridge
Lions Club for its secondhand shop. Upston told her Facebook followers she supported Urban Miners saying it provided a valuable service to the community.
A group of volunteers working in Te Awamutu and Cambridge have this year diverted 8.5 tonnes of e-waste from Waipā’s landfills. Urban Miners, a not-forprofit enterprise recycles, or diverts for reuse, domestic and business e-waste in the district. The group of 45 volunteers runs collections from 9am to 11am once a month in both towns – the first Sunday in Te Awamutu and the third Sunday in Cambridge. It is not a free service. Ninety per cent of the e-waste Urban Miners has collected since it started last year has been recycled. The group wants to stop 20 tonnes a year going into landfills. Parts are taken from small household appliances, televisions, computers, tablets, laptops, printers, monitors, printers, microwaves, audio equipment, video players, DVD players, cell phones, digital cameras, power tools, batteries including car batteries and wiring. About 80 per cent of all e-waste ends up in landfills wasting useful resources and releasing toxic chemicals, says group spokesperson Members of the Urban Mining team have diverted tonnes of waste from the district’s landfill.

Paula Reid of Cambridge took a laptop, soup maker, model and hair straightener to the e-waste collection event outside Cambridge High School on Sunday. “When you’re given an alternative to do something with your e-waste, it’s important to do the right thing,” she said. “What else can you do with it?” Most people have no qualms about paying Urban Miners to take their e-waste away. One man brought printers, laptops, LCD monitors and mobile phones to the collection and willingly paid $200. A woman was not so happy about paying $10 for a radio/tape recorder to be taken away as e-waste and hurriedly drove away. Graeme Muir brought a television and video player. “I don’t like putting things in the dump,” he said. Hanlon said the group did not accept whiteware - fridges, freezers, stoves, dishwashers, washing machines, dryers and smoke alarms. The project was recently highly commended in the Waste Minimisation Environmental Award at the 2021 Waipā Business Awards.

Covid roll-out grows All people aged 16 and over in and around Cambridge can make a time to get their free COVID-19 vaccination from September 1. At present all people aged 50-plus qualify, vaccinations opened to people aged 40-plus yesterday, and will be available to over-30s next Wednesday. Pop-up vaccination centres will also open in the next few weeks. The update coincides with the Government’s announcement that New Zealand will move from two to six weeks between doses. This will ensure more people are at least partially vaccinated as soon as possible to reduce the risk and potential impact of Delta entering the country. Anyone who works at our border, has an underlying
health condition or wants to be fully vaccinated sooner can still get their second dose after three weeks. In a statement last week, ahead of the move to the Lockdown announcement on Tuesday, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said getting vaccinated was the number one thing everyone could do to be protected against Covid, help accelerate New Zealand’s economic recovery, reduce the risk of lockdowns, and safely allow New Zealand’s borders to begin re-opening next year. Waikato DHB Covid vaccination programme lead Maree Munro said the DHB had already significantly increased its vaccination capacity to manage additional bookings. “We now have community vaccination centres, general

practices, pharmacies, and kaupapa Māori and pacific providers administering the vaccine in all main centres across the Waikato,” said Munro. “Waikato DHB is also planning with kaupapa Māori providers mobile pop-up vaccination centres across the region in coming weeks to make it as easy as possible for people in the Waikato to get vaccinated,” she said. Residents in Cambridge can receive book vaccinations at the Cambridge community vaccination centre based at Cambridge Community Marae – Nga Hau E Wha, Cambridge Family Health, Comins Pharmacy or Unichem Family Health Pharmacy. There are also a number of vaccination providers in Te Awamutu, Hamilton and other neighbouring towns. As of last Friday, people who went to BookMyVaccine.nz to book their second dose of the vaccine were offered a date six weeks from their first dose. Anyone who had a second vaccination booking prior to August 13 - less than six weeks apart - can keep their existing appointment or delay it to six weeks if they wish to.

NO PLANET B
Our changing world By Peter Matthews
It seems trite to moan about recycling soft plastics in Cambridge New Zealand when across the world people are dealing with such crises as the earthquake in Haiti, unprecedented rainfall and flooding in Japan, and of course the arrival of the Taliban in Kabul. I can’t help thinking of the people of Afghanistan who have, over the past 20 years, become accustomed to a level of freedom which now seems unlikely to continue. A spokesman for the Taliban called the BBC this morning and said there would be “no revenge” on the people of Afghanistan and went on to say that they are awaiting a peaceful transfer of power as “servants of the people and of this country”. That would be the power they have just taken by force from the elected government... or would have done had government forces not evaporated in the face of their advance. I certainly do not claim to understand the intricacies of the situation, hardly even the overview. It is a complex one with religion at its core, and that is seldom simple. One can perhaps forgive the residents of Kabul for feeling that this spokesman may not be being entirely genuine or truthful, given that the previous installation of this regime featured public executions, stonings, and girls being banned from school. Yes, it is undeniably an unhappy situation, but there is a lot of it about. And now that the latest report from the IPCC has been every bit as unequivocal

as expected on the extent, immediacy, and causes of our planet’s climatic predicament, any and every news story will necessarily be coloured, or even overshadowed by it. Even good news headlines will carry the unwritten subtitle: ‘By the way, the world is burning up’. Just the other day I made a comment about how pleasant the weather was, and my mind was instantly host to an uninvited question: ‘Is it because of global warming? - It’s meant to be winter’. Can we ever again revel in a warm spell without suspecting it of being a harbinger of doom? If we get caught in a bout of heavy rain, will we instinctively wonder whether it is going to be what used to be known as a ‘100 year event’? In this last week alone, my son bought himself a computer gaming chair which came in a huge box containing more non-recyclable packaging than chair, and my daughter called me to say she and her husband have just bought a Ford Ranger. Both occurrences prompted the niggling doubts. I wasn’t complicit in either action and both of these people are old enough to make their own choices but I still felt a bit uneasy. If members of my own family are apparently unmoved by the issues about which I write every week, how effective am I? Mind you I’m not sure that anyone in my immediate family, apart from my mother, actually reads this column on a regular basis. I’m glad you do.

Call to establish third bridge site
Business awards will go biennial
Business leaders are joining the call for action on a third bridge for Cambridge. Business owners were among a group which met at C & R Developments in Hautapu last week. Managing director Mike Ross said businesses like his wanted a site for a third bridge to be identified soon so that the appropriate planning could take place. “We just want to get on with the third bridge now, to keep the momentum going. We want it built so we can all get over it, in more ways than one,” he said. “We just need to look to the future, stop messing around and get on with it.” A meeting hosted last December by the Cambridge Chamber of Commerce heard that almost 50 of its members polled had signalled the need for movement on progressing a third bridge. Waipā District Councillor Philip Coles says there is a need to keep the topic of a third bridge at the forefront of people’s minds, and to pinpoint a potential site for its development urgently. He said the issue of a third bridge had the capacity to define Cambridge’s future, its quality of life, its layout, and the way people move around the town in years to come. When the Cambridge section of the Waikato Expressway was opened in late 2015, around 20,000 vehicles passed between the St Andrew’s Church and the Queen St roundabout each day, he said. The count today is over 23,600 vehicles daily, and vehicle numbers around both bridges are also increasing. “It is my view, and that of many other individuals, businesses and organisations, that a site for a potential third bridge is
Waipā’s own power company will continue to be the major sponsors of the region’s business awards – and they will now be held every two years. The Cambridge Business Chamber and Waipā Networks announced the continuation of the agreement earlier this month. “This is the flagship event for the Waipā business community, and we look forward to being part of its successful and sustainable future,” Waipā Networks Interim Chief Executive Marcel Manders said. Cambridge Business Chamber chief executive Kelly Bouzaid said the ongoing support of Waipā Networks was great news for the Waipā district. “Their backing has been and continues to be crucial to having a successful event of this magnitude for our district.” The Waipā Networks Business Awards made a comeback in April this year, after a Covid hiatus in 2020. “This year’s awards were very successful. It was a big year because it was the first time the Cambridge Business Chamber has organised the awards, as the sole organiser,” Kelly Bouzaid said. “We made changes to reflect the current business environment, and these were well received by entrants and judges, especially the revised awards categories, the simpler entry process and the change in timing. “Something we also found was an unexpected positive effect from the two year gap between awards. Although the gap was forced on us by Covid, and could have been a real negative, it showed us there were benefits in being biennial. The 24-month window gave businesses time to demonstrate how their businesses apply strategy and provide evidence to show how their businesses stand out. “We feel a biennial programme is positive for the awards and we have decided to carry it through, with our next Waipā Networks Business Awards celebration planned for 2023.”

identified and secured soon before this town grows any bigger,” he said. “Council is currently completing Transport Strategy Review, so while we are making inroads, the push to move forwards, particularly within the business sector, is gaining momentum. We need to keep our focus on it.” He and fellow Waipā District Councillor Roger Gordon say it is imperative to identify a potential corridor for a third bridge site before areas are built up. They said plans to add about 5000 new homes to Cambridge over the next 15 years would further impact traffic flows that are already challenging residents. “Look at the congestion now around Victoria St leading to the high-level bridge

Both councillors said the outcomes of the Transport Strategy should be known soon. The Waipā District Council website says: “If the Transportation Strategy indicates the need to move at pace to identify a third river crossing, Council will pull together funding from operating reserves to designate and acquire land for a third bridge”.

Climbers will enjoy access to more spots like this at Wharepapa.
More access for rock climbers in South Waikato will enable more Kiwis to enjoy the Olympic sport, the Aotearoa Climbing Access Trust says. The trust has revealed there is more public access to crags - steep or rugged cliffs or rock faces - around Wharepapa South, meaning more routes for rock climbers. Wharepapa South is in the Waipā District south of Arapuni. Edwin Sheppard from the Aotearoa Climbing Access Trust says rock climbing is growing in popularity. “It hasn’t been a mainstream sport

in the past but it’s going more in that direction.” Wharepapa South is a hub for climbers, offering volcanic rock faces which have over 1000 different routes. Wharepapa South has about 10 crags, Edwin says, but half are closed for climbing. Most of the crags are on farms, so climbers rely on the goodwill of the farmers for the future of their sport. He says a common misunderstanding discourages landowners with crags on their land enabling public access. “There is a misconception that
climbing is quite a dangerous sport and secondly that landowners can be liable if a climbing accident happens on their land, where actually that’s not the case,” says Sheppard. The Walking Access Commission helps to address these myths, he says. Walking Access supports landowners, climbers and the Aotearoa Climbing Access Trust to create sustainable climbing access for our climbers.

Struggling with high interest rates on short term debts such as hire purchases, credit cards or personal loans?? THEN MAYBE YOU SHOULD CONSIDER DEBT CONSOLIDATION. What is debt consolidation? It’s the combining of several short term debts incurring high interest rates into one loan at a lower rate of interest. Who should consider debt consolidation? If you own your own home you can consolidate your short term debts into one loan by taking out a new mortgage against your house which is sufficient to pay off all the smaller debts. Remember - the cheapest money you can borrow is generally housing interest rates with your mortgage. What are the benefits of debt consolidation? You have only one repayment each month. You have to meet the repayment criteria of only one lender - your bank. Your overall interest rate will be lower - compare 4.25% on your mortgage with up to 22% on your credit card debt. The length of your term can be structured to suit your needs. Let me give you an example:A short term debt of $30,000 made up of two hire purchases, two credit cards and a personal loan may cost $1,200 per month in repayments. Consolidate this debt into a home mortgage and the repayments will come down to approx $180 per month over a 30 year term. Pay $580 per month over a five year term and the repayments are reduced by more than half and the $30,000 debt can be paid off in full in five years! If you would like to talk about consolidating debt, please call me at Yes Mortgages on 823 4531 or 021 783 266.

It’s slide rule football for title Cambridge’s women’s team are in a position to win the Waikato Women’s second division football title on Sunday – but it might take a calculator to decide which club gets the silverware. The team goes into their last league game of the season knowing they or rivals Ngaruawahia United will have the title. Cambridge play bottom-placed Claudelands Rovers at John Kerkhof Park (11am), while Ngaruawahia meet fourth-placed Thames. As Cambridge and Ngaruawahia have almost identical playing records over the season, here’s how the title will be decided: • If one wins and the other doesn’t, the match-winner takes the title. • If Ngaruawahia wins against Thames, Cambridge must win their game by a margin at least three goals greater. • If both teams draw, Ngaruawahia take the trophy. • If both teams lose, Ngaruawahia’s loss must be at least three goals worse for Cambridge to take the title. • If Cambridge’s winning margin is two goals better than Ngaruawahia, the calculators will come out. The title will go to which team has the best scoring record over the season and if

that’s even, the honours will go to the club with the best defensive record. The complicated – but thrilling – finale to the women’s season was made possible by Cambridge’s 14-1 win at Mangakino United last weekend. Goals from Olivia Milne (6), Rachel Hill (4), Kym Thomasen (2), Maria

St Peter’s third
St Peter’s School of Cambridge beat St John’s, Hamilton 29-14 on Saturday to finish third in the Central North Island First XV rugby championship. But the victory had a hollow feel to it as the players then watched St Paul’s Collegiate, Hamilton beat Whanganui Collegiate 33-10 in the final. And the only team to beat St Paul’s Collegiate this season? Yes, it was St Peter’s back in June. The 26-0 victory back then won the Cambridge school the coveted Jed Rowlands Cup, played between St Peter’s and St Paul’s, and the Rick Francis Memorial Shield. The challenge shield is gone – Whanganui Collegiate took that away in the 19-17 semi-final a fortnight ago – ironically the only loss of the season for St Peter’s. But the Jed Rowlands Cup remains and that means there will certainly be some bite to the next first XV match played between the two Waikato schools.

Cameron and an own goal provided the win but importantly put the title within reach because it boosted the side’s goal difference for the season. Meanwhile, the Reds’ hopes of winning promotion from the Lotto NRFL second division were dashed by a 6-0 loss to competition leaders Onehunga Mangere United. The Reds get their chance to find winning form again this Saturday when they host UniMount Bohemian at John Kerkhof Park (3pm). In the early game, Cambridge U-23s lost 4-2 to Onehunga. Cambridge’s hopes of beating Tauranga Old Blues to the WaiBOP Championship remained alive, thanks to a 4-0 win at Papamoa. Goals from Tom Woutersen (2), Haydn Roil and Jordan Silvester ensured that Cambridge’s third team go into their last game of the season – against Taupo at John Kerkhof Park this Saturday (2.45pm) – knowing a win will give them a chance of the title. In Waikato men’s division one, Cambridge lost 4-2 at Hamilton Wanderers. In division four, Cambridge beat Huntly Thistle 4-0 with goals to Kevin Grace and Andrew Myers, two each.

This iconic image of St Andrew’s Church, taken by local man Derek Teague and entitled ‘Faith in Reflection’, won the 2021 Cambridge Autumn Festival Photography Competition.
St Andrew’s calls on community to join celebrations St Andrew’s Parish is marking 150 years this month, a special anniversary that celebrates the founding of a parish and a record of faith-centred service that is intimately connected to Cambridge life. The sesquicentennial harks back to September 3, 1871, when laymen first met to establish a parish in the area. The church that sprung from that decision has become central to the life of many, providing a place of celebration and salve for generations of residents. It is that ecclesiastical influence on individuals and families that is behind St Andrew’s invitation to the public to help them mark the anniversary, says the parish’s sesquicentennial committee chair, David McCathie.
“We would like to invite the Cambridge community to celebrate with us our 150 years as the cornerstone of Cambridge. We have celebrated with many in marriage and relationships. We have mourned the loss of family and friends, and we are a foundation for worship,” he said. “Please join us in services to recognise this.” Celebratory public events run from August 27 to September 4. Historical connections to service will be at the heart of a Choral Evensong being held at 7pm on Tuesday August 31. The day also marks St Aidan’s Day and the anniversary of the laying of the foundation stones of both the present Church in 1881, and the Parish Hall in
1931. Born out of the tempestuous era of separation from the Church of Rome, Evensong has been sung for nearly 500 years in Anglican churches. Its timeless tradition will be celebrated in this service, accompanied by the visiting Venite Choir and followed by a shared supper. Those in the community wanting to acknowledge life-changing moments in their own lives can do so at several special events, among them the Sunset Remembrance Service and the Thanksgiving Service for Relationships - both scheduled for later in the week. An evening Sunset Remembrance Service on Thursday September 2 will enable anyone in the community to remember family and friends who have passed on. The Venite Choir will return
for this occasion and the service will be followed by a supper provided by local funeral directors, Cambridge Funerals and Grinter’s Funeral Home. The following evening, on Friday September 3, St Andrew’s Church will host the Thanksgiving Service for Relationships. The service itself will be preceded by a recital of wedding music by organist Eon Malan and there will be an opportunity for all those keen to either renew their wedding vows, or re-commit to their relationships, to do so in a group celebration. The more festive air of this event means people can dress in wedding attire if they prefer, and everyone will be invited to share in some celebratory bubbly and wedding cake after the service.

A legacy of faith and inspiration On August 31, 1881, Cambridge’s new St Andrew’s Church was consecrated by Auckland’s Bishop Cowie. A holiday was declared, 750 people attended the two services on the day, and much was made of the ‘devotion and enthusiasm’ of the small Anglican community that in the space of eight years had built and consecrated two churches. Ten years earlier, on September 3, 1871, a first committee of laymen formally established an Anglican Parish in Cambridge. It is that Parish that now marks its sesquicentennial anniversary. The earlier of the two churches became the Parish Centre. Opened in April 1873, it was rapidly outgrown and moved 20m to allow for the building of the new £2,205 church. St Andrew’s first Vicar was Rev William Newcombe de Laval Willis. No peer nor parishioner of the day could have imagined how deeply embedded in the local
Philip Walsh in February 1866. The pair settled in Whangae in Northland, and for six years demonstrated the robust character that led them both to entering training for the Anglican clergy in Auckland.
The Rev (later Archdeacon) William Newcombe de Laval Willis led St Andrew’s Church from 1878 to 1912.
community the ‘white church on the corner’ would become, nor how much its spire would come to be viewed as the community’s beacon of faith. Rev Willis was appointed Vicar of Cambridge in 1878 and became Archdeacon of Waikato in 1882. With the assistance of lay readers and his trusty horse and carriage, his pastoral care reached into the surrounding districts, including Matamata, Richmond Downs, Lichfield, Ōhaupō and Tamahere. William Willis was more than up to the task. He had sailed to New Zealand with his lifelong friend
William’s training ended in 1874, and four years later, together with his wife Mary and two young children, Rev Willis steamed down the river to Cambridge to become the first resident Anglican minister. Facilities at the time were rudimentary, and true to character, the young Rev Willis set about building them himself. Shortly before his retirement as vicar of St Andrew’s in 1912, the Willis family purchased a 1908-built Queen St home, and it was there that the next three generations of Willis’ would live. The loss in quick succession of their eldest son at Gallipoli, and Rev Willis’ lifelong friend Philip Walsh, took its toll and he died in February 1916. Those early connections to Cambridge remain strong. The Queen St house, named Kilpeacon for Rev Willis’ Irish connections, remains in family hands. It is now occupied by his great-grandson Andrew Willis, whose wife, the Rev Michele Willis, is the first minister to live there since those early days. Another great-grandchild, Katharine Milson, has lived in Cambridge for much of her life. Her mother Margaret Vosper, who died earlier this year, had a lengthy association with St Andrew’s Church. Katharine’s brother Guy Vosper, and their cousin Angela Dobbs, also live in Cambridge.
Years of development and community engagement St Andrew’s influence has grown through the years. On-site developments have kept pace with progress and the Church has long been the community’s place of comfort at times of stress. Not long after it opened, a Bellringers’ Guild, Sunday School Committee and Ladies Guild were formed.
The Ladies Guild, which started in 1903, played an important part in early developments; it was due largely to their fundraising efforts that the Parish Hall, opened in November 1931, was built.
The income they generated was reinvested into building more units until, in 2007, St Andrew’s Village was handed over to the Selwyn Foundation. The addition of the $14 million Moxon Centre in late 2017 further future-proofed the complex.
In the 1970s, the Parish started building retirement units on surplus land.
The Church’s many stained-glass windows commemorate people and events linked
to the Parish. St Andrew’s has played a significant role in marking national or international events of consequence; holding among its many unique services those which marked the Pike River mine disaster, the Christchurch earthquakes and mosque attacks.

Line-up of music and festivities for anniversary Several concerts incorporated into the church’s sesquicentennial celebration programme are an acknowledgement of St Andrews’ strong music tradition. Performances both spiritual and secular have been enjoyed by audiences from the local community and beyond through the years, some linked to events such as the Cambridge Autumn Festival, others part of the regular cycle of concerts organised by different groups. Among the latter are a series of monthly lunchtime organ performances by award-winning organist Eon Malan. Each of these free concerts now attracts over 100 visitors and led to Eon arranging the region’s first Organ Week at St Andrew’s in July. The Church’s pipe organ was originally installed in 1898, and thanks to a generous benefactor’s legacy, a major refurbishment was done last year. Eon, who describes the refurbished instrument as ‘an absolute joy to play’, will perform a special lunchtime concert on Wednesday September 1 as part of the anniversary celebrations. Music of a different genre will launch anniversary events with an evening acoustic guitar concert on Friday August 31 by New Zealand singer-songwriter Holly Christina. Proceeds from the concert’s ticket sales will go back to St Andrew’s. Holly has self-produced eight albums since 2008, given numerous concerts, and pioneered the GatSong programme in Auckland a decade ago, teaching guitar, songwriting and singing. She made the decision to move from

Auckland to Cambridge in 2019. Within a few months, Holly had joined the St Andrew’s team of bellringers, extended her guitar teaching schedule to Cambridge Middle School, and written a song she entitled ‘Cambridge’. She will debut the song at the sesquicentennial concert along with a video tribute to the town she filmed with her brother. The song speaks to her fresh start, she explained. “It touches on new beginnings. Moving here was a leap of faith for me, and St Andrew’s has come to mean a lot … it is a real honour to be doing this concert.”

An anniversary centred on remembering Fr Malcolm French, the 15th vicar at St Andrew’s Church, penned his thoughts on the sesquicentennial anniversary of the founding of the Cambridge Parish. “The thing about a centennial celebration is that there can’t be anyone there who remembers the original event. There may be one or two people who were alive, but they will have been too young to remember first-hand. For a sesquicentennial, even that notional overlap no longer exists. We are now 150 years and three or four generations removed from that day in September of 1871 when the Anglican Parish of Cambridge was established with the first meeting of laymen. “Even so, we remember. Our church life is built around remembering. Week by week, we re-enact a meal from far more than 150 years ago, following Jesus’s commandment, “Do this to remember me.” “We remember many stories of the past 150 years: Christmas pageants and craft fairs; weddings and funerals; the dedication of the present Church in August of 1881; the laying

of the cornerstone of the Parish Hall in August of 1932; the vicar who nearly burnt down St Andrew’s around 60 years ago because he left a heater on near his prayer desk; the time the original Church building was shifted to its present location as the Parish Centre; the vicar who forgot to turn on his alarm one Christmas morning – and made it from dead asleep to being at the Church ready to begin in eleven minutes flat. Inspiring stories, amusing stories, even painful stories; we carry 150 years of St Andrew’s stories – of Cambridge stories.
“But above all, we remember that story from far more than 150 years ago. We remember the creative and redemptive acts of God throughout history, including this last little bit of history. “I was struck, today, that the Parish of Cambridge is 150 years old, and that there are 150 Psalms. Perhaps the 150th Psalm is a good way to wrap up this remembrance of 150 years.” Ref: Psalm 150: A New Zealand Prayer Book / He Karakia Mihinare o Aotearoa

Wine dining
Men are like wine — some turn to vinegar, but the best improve with age. Pope John XXIII Most cooks will agree that it’s wise to cook with a wine that you would be happy to drink. But that doesn’t mean you have to select a wine from the top shelf. Just choose a good one that fits the budget. Wine adds a little magic to many a recipe. The complex combination of flavours of the wine provide body and depth to dishes as well tenderising and adding moisture. Wine’s acidity softens the tissues of tougher cuts of meat, and marries well with herbs and spices. Simmering wine for sauces — such as a red wine sauce for steak — intensifies the delicious flavours and removes any alcoholic acidity present before it has been reduced. Once the steak has been removed from the frying pan, add a slosh of wine to the pan, sizzle it, season it, then serve. Add a little cream or butter for extra yum. If you like cooking with wine but don’t consume it often enough to warrant opening a bottle every time, pour the wine into an ice cube tray, freeze, then store the cubes in a container. Use a couple when required and return the rest to the freezer.
Lamb leg in red wine Cook for 2 hours. Remove the foil and bake for another 1 1/2 hours or until cooked to your preference, basting occasionally. Remove the lamb to a warm platter. Cover with foil and a heavy towel to keep warm. Mash the onion mixture in the pan to extract as much flavour as possible. Pour through a strainer into a saucepan. Simmer for 5 minutes. If preferred, thicken with 2 tablespoons each of flour and soft butter creamed together. Serve with the lamb. Serves 8-10. WINE-GLAZED GRANNY SMITH CAKE Serve this divine not-to-sweet dessert with whipped cream, ice cream or plain yoghurt. Base: 150g butter, chopped 2 tablespoons sugar 1 egg 2 cups plain flour 1 teaspoon baking powder Topping: 1kg Granny Smith apples juice 1 lemon 3 tablespoons cornflour 375ml late harvest white wine 1/2 cup water 1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons sugar Place the butter and sugar in a food processor and mix until smooth. Add the egg and mix again, scraping down the sides. Combine the flour and baking powder and sift in. Mix until a ball forms. Remove the dough and pat into a disc. Wrap in film and chill for at least 30 minutes. Meanwhile, peel, core and dice the apples. Place in a large bowl and toss together with the lemon juice. Combine the cornflour and about 1/3 of the wine in a bowl.
LAMB LEG IN RED WINE Great served with baked kumara and steamed broccoli tossed in a little butter, lemon juice and finely grated lemon rind. 1 large red onion 2 large bulbs garlic 6 sprigs rosemary 2.6kg leg lamb 1 tablespoon flaky sea salt freshly ground black pepper to taste 750ml bottle red wine eg cab sav or shiraz 1 cup beef stock Preheat the oven to 170°C. Cut the onion into quarters — no need to peel. Cut the bulbs of garlic in half crosswise — no need to peel. Place in a large roasting pan to form a bed for the lamb. Top with half the rosemary. Place the lamb on top. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper and top with the remaining rosemary. Add the wine and stock to the pan. Cover the pan with foil.
Wine-glazed Granny Smith cake Mix well. Bring the remaining wine, water, vanilla and sugar to a simmer in a saucepan. Gradually whisk in the cornflour mixture, stirring until just thickened. Place aside. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Lightly grease a 23cm springform cake pan. Line the base with baking paper. Roll out the dough and press evenly into the pan. Prick with a fork. Bake for 5 minutes. Drain the apples and spread over the base. Spoon the wine glaze evenly over the apples. Bake for 1 hour or until completely cooked. Cool completely on a rack before removing from the pan. Great served dusted with a little ground cinnamon and garnished with finely grated lemon rind. Serves 8. MUSHROOM & WHITE WINE SOUP Flavoursome and ‘easy as’. 50g butter 1 medium leek, white and pale green part only 800g button mushrooms, sliced 3 tablespoons plain flour 3-4 cups chicken stock 1 cup white wine eg pinot gris 1 cup cream Melt the butter in a medium-large saucepan on medium heat. Wash and thinly slice the leek. Sauté for 5 minutes in the butter, until softened. Add the mushrooms, stir well and cook until they start to soften. Place a few aside for the garnish. Add the flour to the saucepan and stir well. Slowly add the stock and wine. Simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and purée with a stick blender. Return to the saucepan and slowly bring to the boil. Stir in the cream. Garnish with the reserved mushrooms. Serves 4-6.

Looking for a new home
By Blair Voorend
What do you do with an overstocked museum? The New Zealand Fieldays Society is grappling with precisely that issue with its Clydesdale Museum collection at Mystery Creek. Generous donations over the years have left the museum with a wide range of items – and a significant number of double ups. Fieldays chief Peter Nation wants to give the old items now mostly in storage a new lease on life - by returning them, or finding new owners. An advert in last week’s News alerted readers to the plan. “I think some people thought we might be decimating the museum – but that’s far from the case,” Mr Nation said. “We just want to find new homes for items which would otherwise spend years in storage.” Items range from a number of old tractors, farming equipment, parts and engines that have filled up the Heritage Village in Mystery Creek. The village started coming together during the 70s to house some of its donations and put them on display. The Heritage Village grew out of historical buildings that no longer had a purpose, such as the old Ngatea Church, Kihikihi Jail, Whitehall School and Waikato Hospital. The Bledisloe building (the old Hamilton Winter Show building) was purchased for $1 from Hamilton City Council in the 1970s and used to house many pieces of the collection. The village used to be open for tours and visitors on a regular basis but due to budget restraints it is only operating during private functions and big public events, such as Fieldays. But over the years the donations came in thick and fast and now the society is looking to scale down its collection. They are looking to return the items firstly to their original owners, but even that is a bit of a struggle. The society have been documenting pieces since 1978 but a number of donations predate that.
But even the documented items are also being a struggle to locate their owners as many were donated over 20 years ago and trying to find some of the original owners let alone connect the documentation to the right donation has been somewhat of a nightmare for staff. That’s why the Fieldays Society is putting the message out to anybody who has donated a piece or family member who has donated
something in the past and wants it returned. To do so they must show some proof of previous ownership by August 31. But for those pieces left unclaimed Mr Nation says that they will do their best to donate them to museums who will look to bring these parts of history back to life. Those pieces that cannot be donated will be auctioned with the hope of collectors looking to give these pieces a new lease on life.
“We could ship some of this stuff off to the scrap metal yard and get a few dollars for it but none of us want that,” he said. “These pieces just need a new lease on life and we know that there will be people out there happy to do it.” Any money made from the auction will be put back into the the Heritage Village as well as other educational purposes the society provides.
Peter Nation surrounds himself in a number of tractors and old farming equipment that are looking for a new home.

Kick back on Three Waters COUNTRYLIFE
THURSDAY AUGUST 19, 2021
By Mary Anne Gill
A rural-based Waipā District councillor says she is unconvinced the government’s Three Waters reforms will provide any benefits for the district. Te Awamutu dairy farmer and Kakepuku ward councillor Susan O’Regan said the reform plans had been rushed out with little time to consult the community. “In the absence of detail, it is difficult to say precisely how the community’s voice and opinion is best secured, but it needs to be ascertained somehow and play a significant role in whether the reforms go ahead and if they do, in what form,” she said.
Jim Mylchreest
The government’s plan is to merge 67 different water organisations currently run by councils, into just four and transfer all council water assets to a new national water regulator - Taumata Arowai – which would set the standards for quality. Four mega water authorities would own and manage drinking water, wastewater and stormwater services on behalf of local councils. The government estimates the average household bill for water services could be as high as $9000 by 2051 if the country does not take up the Three Waters plan. Councils have until the end of September to provide feedback on the proposed reforms. The government recently announced a $2.5b sweetener package across New Zealand with Waipā set to get $24 million for its water supply. O’Regan said she was concerned the government might just mandate the changes without either council support or community consultation. “I firmly believe that this reform so too rushed. With a reform of this magnitude, it is incumbent upon us to ascertain the community’s views and we must therefore consult with them before any decisions made.” Mayor Jim Mylchreest, who has been an active opponent to the
changes, told The News the reforms were a “nonsense” and said his concern was the proposed water regulator might be made mandatory. “From a regional and rural New Zealand perspective, it’s just another service that gets taken out of the community. The centralisation argument based on purely efficiency reasons, doesn’t build good communities,” he said. “I do have concerns that won’t be allayed until I have more information around issues like the transfer of Waipā assets and the retention of a local voice for the people of our district. “I accept the notion of national good and accept our sector must do what is best for New Zealand overall. I support that but do note that most councils, including Waipā, have done a pretty good job with water. “It is disingenuous of any government to bemoan a lack of investment in infrastructure when I can point to multiple examples of government under-investment over many years in sectors like health and education,” Mylchreest said. Waipā has already invested in water meters across the district funded by a loan and paid off the life of each meter. Neighbouring Hamilton City Council does not have water
Susan O’Regan
meters nor does Kāwhia, in the Ōtorohanga district, which needs a new water and sewage facility. “The community can’t afford it. We’re (Waipā) going to be contributing to areas when we’ve already paid for our water meters,” he said. Mylchreest said he doubted whether a National government would think any differently. “Paula Bennett was always pushing for it. “I don’t know what it is, but central government doesn’t rate local government. Our asset management is far better than central government. “They don’t seem to be looking at the big picture,” said Mylchreest.

‘Where’s the logic?’ – MP
Waikato MP Tim van de Molen says the economies of scale are “unproven” in the Three Waters model. “The costs to residents are undisclosed and the implications going forward are uncharted,” he says. But the National MP agrees things improving. “Infrastructure across the country is in varying states of worthiness; when it fails it puts public health and the environment at risk, sadly we saw this in Havelock North in 2016. But he says the governance of Three Waters by local councils will be taken out of their hands if the Government has its way and it is an example of centralisation of locally owned and managed resources – “like we’ve seen with health and tertiary education”. “How they’ve come to the conclusion this model is best is unclear, the socalled financial benefits and cost savings haven’t been explained to the public and some councils have reported they still lack information. “Where is the logic which puts water management in towns hundreds of kilometres apart, like Cambridge with Whakatāne and New Plymouth, into the governance of the same regional entity?” “Decisions around management must be consulted with local councils and communities to ensure we have a fit-for purpose water system that prioritises health and environment standards – so we all benefit.”

Council backs More Fieldays winners Overseer view 26 | CAMBRIDGE NEWS
COUNTRYLIFE
THURSDAY AUGUST 19, 2021
An Environment and Welfare Manager at LIC has a new ute after winning a Fieldays draw. Fieldays visitors had three chances to go into the draw to win an Isuzu D-Max LS Double Cab the ute when they attended this year’s event - through activating an Explorer Band with their details, tagging it at the Isuzu Utes New Zealand site, and by returning the Fieldays Explorer Band. Tony Fransen said he was in dire need of a vehicle upgrade as his current car, a 1994 Honda Civic Shuttle Beagle 4WD, has been leaking and pooling water in the footwell. The new ute is in good hands, as Tony and wife Kate have 21 hectares of land to look after and a young family to cart around. Tony has been involved in dairy farming all his life, either working on farms or through rural professional roles. He grew up on a 600-cow
dairy farm north of Morrinsville where he still helps his parents out from time to time. His role at LIC focuses on researching, modelling, and developing ways for dairy farmers to reduce their environmental footprint and improve the wellbeing of dairy animals through breeding, technology, and farm systems solutions. Kate Fransen, is a Senior Project Manager for DairyNZ managing a seven-year research programme on nitrate leaching and plantain, launched at Fieldays this year. The Fieldays Explorer Band, the catalyst for Tony’s win, is a wristband containing RFID technology. This technology allows visitors to connect their details and scan their band to request relevant information from Fieldays exhibitors, enter their competitions, claim giveaways, order coffees, and more.

Miraka steps up to help families in need COUNTRYLIFE
THURSDAY AUGUST 19, 2021
Taupō-based dairy company Miraka has been backing the farmer-founded charity Feed Out. At the end of July, it processed over 20,000 litres of farmer-donated milk to distribute to foodbanks. The milk was donated by Miraka farmers to provide support to a growing number of families in need. Wayne Langford, Founder and General Manager of Feed Out, said reaching production was a significant milestone.
“We export over 95% of our milk, and yet there are still families going hungry right here in New Zealand. That seems crazy. Feed Out provides a way for farmers to help meet this need. We’ve been blown away by the support of Miraka and their supply farmers. This donation has far exceeded our expectations and will be a huge help to those who need it most” says Wayne. Grant Jackson, Miraka’s General Manager of Milk Supply, says Feed Out
is an opportunity for the Miraka farm and factory whānau to make a direct impact on their local community. “When Wayne contacted us about getting involved, we jumped at the chance. Our famers are a pretty caring bunch and were quick to come on board with the programme, as were Tetrapak and Visy Board, who have donated the packaging. For us it’s a way for us to show manaakitanga and to give something back,” he said. Joanna Hepi, Manager of the Mangakino Food Bank, looks forward to the Feed Out milk donations. “Our budget doesn’t stretch to including milk, and a lot of our families have been going without this important staple. Our annual donation drive helps increase our stock of non-perishable goods, but this doesn’t cover fresh items. So, we’re really grateful to be able to start adding milk to our food parcels” says Joanna, who also helps her community by providing a budgeting service. Feed Out is an extension of the ‘Meat the Need’ charity, which enables farmers to donate mince to food banks around New Zealand. The organisation was formed to assist farmers wanting to support the more vulnerable members of their local community directly with quality food. Feed Out is the first time that farmers have had the opportunity JULY milk 2020 to donate products to food banks. For more information go to www. feedout.org

Nominations have opened for a seat on the DairyNZ’s board. Farmer-elected director Jacqueline Rowarth, a former Environment Protection Authority (EPA) chief scientist, is retiring by rotation having completed a three year term. DairyNZ chair Jim van der Poel says the past year had presented its own set of challenges for farmers and the sector, including workforce shortages, regulatory change and extreme weather events. “Our farmers are currently the most sustainable milk producers in the world and have made significant progress to prepare for the future, but farmers are operating in a challenging climate,” says Mr van der Poel. “DairyNZ is in a unique position to support dairy farmers with leading research and science, and to advocate on behalf of farmers to influence future policy changes.” The DairyNZ board oversees DairyNZ’s strategy, which guides future investments into a range of programmes, including industry research and development; sustainable farming; promoting
Jim van der Poel
careers in dairy; advocating for farmers and monitoring the strategy’s delivery. “The DairyNZ team are dedicated to helping farmers face upcoming challenges and continue improving their businesses to prosper. Our board plays a key part in this, and we encourage farmers who are future-focused, have an interest in governance and supporting the sector’s success to consider joining the DairyNZ board,” says Mr van der Poel. DairyNZ is also inviting applications from farmers for one position on the Directors’ Remuneration Committee, which independently sets the directors’ fees. For more details go to dairynz.co.nz/agm

Frampton celebrates first win By Joshua Smith
Rodney Frampton recorded his first win as a trainer at his home track over 2200 metres at Cambridge Raceway, last week. The daughter of Bettor’s Delight settled well for driver David Butcher, who bided his time at the rear of the field before finding the one-one with 500m to go courtesy of a tiring Imelda May. Butcher asked his charge to improve three wide turning for home where Sky Delight was able to storm home to win by 1-1/4 lengths over Miss Hathaway, with a further length back to Emmi rose in third. “It was a big thrill,” Frampton said. “I was very pleased to get it (first training win),” he said. “She seemed to get a good run into it and she got over the top of them really well.” Sky Delight was having just her second start for Frampton after joining his stable earlier this year following her purchase by his brother-in-law, Graeme Henley. “Graeme Henley from Alabar bought her as a broodmare proposition,” Frampton said. “She is a Bettor’s Delight half-sister to Sky Major, and still being a three-year-old filly, he thought he would race her

for a little bit and see how she goes. “Her last start (fourth) was her first start since December, and her first run for me, and we were quite happy with it. “She improved with the run, so it was good to see that tonight.” It was apt that Frampton recorded his first training success at Cambridge Raceway, the track where he started his career nearly forty years ago. “I started off as a young fella working in the school holidays for Charlie Hunter,” he said. “When I left school, I started to work for John Langdon and I was there for four or five years. I then had a bit of a break and went overseas for a little while. “I came back and worked at a dairy company for a while and then I had a horse with Andrew and Lyn Neal.
I had another one with David Marshall and I helped him out a little bit. “I then started to work for Mike Berger and then Arna Donnelly, and now I am enjoying training myself.” Frampton is enjoying working half a dozen horses and said he gets a lot of support from Alabar Stud as well as local trainer Mike Berger. “I jog up a couple for Mike Berger, he has been really good with helping me out,” Frampton said. Frampton is glad to be back working with horses and earning a living from something he is passionate about. “I am quite happy training a few and breaking in a few, and making a living doing it,” he said. “I have worked in other careers, so it’s quite good being able to work with horses. I enjoy it.”

“I am fit now, but I know whatever happens I will be cared for.” Priscilla, a Ryman resident
HAVE INDEPENDENCE AND A CHEF-PREPARED MEAL TOO A Ryman serviced apartment allows you to live independently and still receive assistance. It might be housekeeping, a chef-prepared meal, or maybe it’s something else. Whatever it is, you can adjust your level of care in the village at any time, so it’s there if you need it. It’s one more way we’re pioneering a new way of living for a new retirement generation.
