Cycleway fallout By Mary Anne Gill

Money ear-marked for consultation with residents over the controversial Hamilton Road dual cycleway has gone unspent and will go instead on promotional activities after its completion. Many residents, including Grey Street Dairy owner Wei Na who faces financial ruin because of the project, say the scope of it and the lack of consultation took them by surprise. Hall and Grey streets have

been closed off or made one-way while the adjacent Bryce and Vogel streets are experiencing higher traffic volumes, according to sources. The Hamilton Road project was expected to be finished by now but has been delayed by Covid-19 worksite restrictions. Resident Tania Cochrane, who launched a petition to save the Grey St Dairy when its revenue dropped following the closure of the street for turning traffic from Hamilton Road, said the

council did not listen to their concerns. “They just had this money from NZTA and wanted to spend it before it wasn’t available anymore,” she said. “It has been a disaster.”The controversy prompted Cambridge Community Board member Elise Badger to ask Waipā District Council to provide her with a copy of the project’s $14,000 communications strategy. Included in that plan was a soil-turning event costing $6000 and $3000 for a video. “Did those things happen?”

she asked Transportation manager Bryan Hudson at last week’s board meeting. “I’m not sure honestly. I didn’t go to a sod turning event,” he said. Badger then asked why residents in Vogel and Bryce streets were not included in the consultation given more traffic would be diverted down their streets. “Yes, I know that would probably have been a good idea,” he said noting the message must have got through in other ways as several residents in those

streets provided feedback. “There could have been a wider catchment of the community consulted on that project based on how it was going to affect them,” said Badger. Hudson told the board the council learned some good lessons. Later he told The News the lessons were around timing and resourcing. “We often found that residents at our drop-in sessions were speaking more about the Streets for People or Urban Mobility in general rather than having any particular concerns they wanted to raise about Hamilton Road Cycleway.” It reiterated the importance of having clear, concise communication and a good reminder that communicating early and often with residents, businesses and stakeholders goes a long way towards the overall success of a project, he said. Badger told The News this week she was “disappointed” that more than half the $14,000 set aside for consultation went unspent. “Anytime the community doesn’t feel heard, then we have to look at the process,” she said. Board chair Sue Milner said she had heard the “grizzles” about the project. “Bryce Street was already a rat run and it’s got worse. “I think for things like

Elise Badger this, we’ve got to get better engaged.” The board was not consulted in depth – it was presented with a fait accompli - but in hindsight should have been more vocal about the project, she said. Milner praised Badger for her persistence saying: “she’s doing a great job.” Two information evenings, several face-to-face visits held, and 700 brochures distributed, according to the council. It is not the only time there has been criticism of the council’s engagement on the $1.6 million project. Just over half of the cost will be met by Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency, the rest by ratepayers. Earlier this year lawyer Andrea Twaddle told the council its consultation was “defective”, and they should “go back and do the consultation properly.”

Pensioner Pints Shock and horror – the Waipā Council has discovered that regulations around alcohol supply during happy hours at retirement villages are dealt with “inconsistently” and need a review. So does this mean Cambridge is becoming clogged on Friday nights with hordes of drunken oldies lurching around the sidewalks in alcoholic oblivion, and chundering all over their walkers? If not, I suggest the Council quietly stop bothering to police outdated rules and put the resources they save into roads and rubbish collections where they can be better used. Ernie Newman Cambridge Thank you For the second year in a row, Covid interrupted Cancer Society’s most important fundraising event, our Daffodil Day street appeal. For a charity dependent on the generosity of communities across our region, it was a disappointing blow and particularly concerning as we know Covid brings added stress for people with cancer. During lockdown, our nurses contactlessly deliver more meals to people with cancer. They spend more time talking

with clients on the phone to offer information, support and reassurance. And our Cancer Society’s Lions Lodge stays open longer so guests don’t have to travel across the region. To have our most important fundraiser taken away during this time of heightened need was devastating. I am touched by the lengths the Cambridge community have gone to show their support, and in particular Richard and the local FreshChoice team who featured in last week’s Cambridge News. Thanks to them, daffodils that would otherwise have gone to waste, brightened homes during lockdown and raised much-needed funds for Cancer Society. To our volunteers who worked so hard in preparation for Daffodil Day, we thank you. You may not have seen your efforts come to fruition, but we recognise and appreciate your dedication. And to those who fundraised for us or gave generously online when we couldn’t take to the streets with our collection buckets, we are so grateful. Your support ensures that despite these uncertain times we can continue to be there for people impacted by cancer. Shelley Campbell Chief Executive, Waikato/Bay of Plenty Cancer Society

We need your help By Harriet Dixon, Cambridge Community House

I’m going to keep this simple. We need money. Right now, 75 families are coming to Cambridge Community House each week asking for food support. That’s more than 300 people we help just to get enough to eat. It equates to 900 meals a day. And even at just $1 a serve, we are burning through cash. The simplest thing you can do to help is donate money. Cash is the gift we can most easily use to feed families in need. If you can help, donate to the BNZ account for Cambridge Community House Trust 02-03000053796-025. We will make every dollar count for a local family. We need the money because although food poverty already existed in our seemingly affluent town, it has been brutally exacerbated by the impact of this lockdown. For families living weekto-week, no work means no money. Changes in income and circumstances forced on families by the pandemic make even the simple challenging. As they struggle to pay bills, or make rent, one of the first things to give will be putting food on the table. At Cambridge Community House the impact of lockdown was immediate. We saw 17 new families come to us for food support. That number rises every day. Each time a new family arrives, we offer our full range of wrap around services to get them back on their feet. To be

successful, we need to insulate them from the worst impacts of the lockdown for several weeks. We’ve moved three families to emergency accommodation - it demonstrates the impact lockdown is having on families who live on the edge of the poverty line. We’ve already received community support. Hospitality business forced to close emptied their fridges into the welcoming arms of our families. For the first few days of lockdown food rescue gave us most of the supplies we were able to share. But this tailed off quickly. Panic buying from supermarkets leaves very little to rescue and redistribute. As the number of local families we support increases, we have reached out for more help. The community has rallied round with donations of food supplies, and a few individuals had made sizeable cash donations. With all this local support it might seem greedy to be asking for more. But we cannot underestimate the scale of the challenge. The number of families looking for help with the most basic things will continue to grow, even as lockdown eases. Any financial support you can offer us will go to help families in our community, where we all live together.

On the beat with Senior Constable DEB THURGOOD

Thanks for your help It is great news that we are moving into Level 2, albeit with slightly tighter rules than previously. I know for many that this will see a welcome return to more familiar routines around work and school. I equally know that a lot of people have struggled with Lockdown for various reasons ranging from financial issues to mental health. Those stresses may still be impacting on you, and I encourage anyone who is feeling in need of support to reach out. Cambridge Police have been grateful for the good attitude shown by the vast majority of our community during the lockdown. There has been an overall acceptance of what needed to be done, and adherence to the rules. Policing in a lockdown is certainly different. We move to enforcing Health Rules, providing education first before

holding the repeat offenders to account with a fine or other action. With everyone adjusting to changed routines, behaviours and new requirements, we have aimed to also provide community reassurance. I send a big thank you from me to you, for all doing your part and thereby assisting us in doing our job. It has been good to see care and concern shown within neighbourhoods too. During lockdown, calls for service continued as some criminals persist in their activities regardless. As always, timely reporting of incidents as they are occurring is vital and the information that comes through from our community has been key in our ability to progress investigations and catch the offenders. As you will have seen, we were very happy to make an arrest following a number of offences in a short space of time.

Clear CCTV footage is a key source of evidence, and this case was no exception. It helped us make an arrest and I would like to again encourage all businesses to install CCTV and include within that setup a camera that covers out over the footpath and road, whilst covering the front of the business. It is a good idea to have someone on staff who is familiar with the setup and can bookmark, save, download and export footage when required. Ensure you know how long footage is retained before being overwritten also. In closing, as we move forward in level 2, let’s keep positive, adhere to the rules and support each other. Above all, remember to be kind.

THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 9, 2021

Briefs… Man charged A 46-year-old man has appeared in court in Hamilton after being charged with a raft of burglaries in Cambridge. Inspector Will Loughrin, Waikato West Area Commander, said the man has been linked to five burglaries of commercial premises last weekend. He said the arrest followed night-shift staff responding by car and attending the crime scenes and review of CCTV camera footage from businesses. Property from the burglaries was recovered after police searched a Cambridge house on Sunday. Rubbish warning Waipā District Council has repeated reminders to residents that household rubbish, needles/sharps and any other hazardous materials must not be disposed of in any public rubbish bin or receptacle. Residents should use the kerbside collection service, waste transfer station or sharps disposal containers. The council’s narrow streets and assisted recycling collection services have resumed as normal. Food fest on hold Cambridge’s five-day food festival, Culinary Cambridge, has been rescheduled from September 15-19 to November 2-7. Destination Cambridge CEO Miff Macdiarmid says she’s disappointed to postpone but it made sense given the uncertainty around changing lockdown levels and the fact so many ticket holders for the event come from Auckland. Plan criticised National’s transport spokesperson, Hamilton based David Bennett, says the three year roading plan announced this week by Waka Kotahi is dominated by projects from a Government that is politically biased towards public transport “and has shied away from new projects that would empower our economy”. The plan includes a $1.5 billion investment in Waikato’s land transport system.

‘People in Wellington need a rocket’ Anger as Ministry lets people ‘fall through the gaps’ By Mary Anne Gill

Details about Waipā residents in need of help during last year’s lockdown have been wiped from the council’s emergency database because of Privacy Act regulations. Emergency management coordinator Cathie Shaw says that means they are unable to help people they know might need help during the current lockdown. Speaking to the Cambridge Community Board meeting last week, Shaw said unlike last year when the Waikato Civil Defence Emergency Management group led social and welfare responses to the lockdown, it was the Ministry of

Social Development (MSD) who were leading it this time. “We’ve been told to stay in our lane,” she said. As a result, the group had not had one single referral from the ministry, she said. “Our role has been monitoring and liaising.” Shaw said she felt there were many people who did not like to ring the ministry because there was a stigma attached to doing so. “The government has made it very clear that’s what they’ve put in place. People are falling through the gaps, but we can’t advertise to go and find them because it’s not our gig.” The Ministry of Social Development’s 0800 559 009 line is

open for support. Board member Jo Davies-Colley, who represents the board on the Social Services committee, said there had been a small increase for food support, minimal reports of family harm and a small number of requests for emergency accommodation support. Shaw said the Salvation Army had also provided 33 food parcels in the first week of lockdown. Board chair Sue Milner was frustrated by the decision to wipe last year’s records which would help community groups know who might need support this lockdown. “The people in Wellington need a rocket. There’s got to be a way

around this. Perhaps we’re going to have to get a bit bolshy around the town.” A buddy system used last year was one of the strengths of the Cambridge response, she said. “We probably do have some people in the community who aren’t even linked to Age Concern and other organisations.” It was important to “get the word out” that people needing help should contact MSD, she said. In her report to the board, Milner said the latest lockdown was hard for the elderly and for families. “We all need patience now, as we hope that things will get better, and we probably need a good dose of optimism.”

Board backs It’s good to be back… council review By Mary Anne Gill

Cambridge Community Board supports Waipā District Council’s representation review proposals. Cambridge will have one less elected councillor and both the Cambridge and Maungatautari wards will expand so that each councillor in the town will represent 5628 members and the sole Maungatautari councillor will represent 5970 people. The community board representatives will reduce from five to four. Board chair Sue Milner said at last week’s community board meeting, concerns that boards might be disestablished, favoured by some Waipā district staff, no longer featured in the proposal. “For so many people they are the lifeblood of the communities,” she said. Cr Grahame Webber said there was very strong support for community boards around the council table. “I am very, very pleased to see that we are going to retain

that local bit of democracy,” he said. “That’s where people relate to.” The proposal approved is for the following arrangements for the 2022 and 2025 elections: Cambridge Ward (4 councillors). One less elected member and a boundary change in the Fencourt and Hautapu areas. Te Awamutu and Kihikihi Ward (3 councillors). One less elected member and a small boundary change in the Paterangi / Ngaroto Road area. A combined Pirongia and Kakepuku Ward (2 councillors). One less elected member and boundary changes in the Paterangi / Ngaroto Road and Kaipaki areas. Maungatautari Ward (1 councillor). Boundary changes to include Kaipaki and reflect the changes to the Cambridge Ward boundary. Consultation on the council’s proposals closes at 5pm on Wednesday 29 September with a hearing on Tuesday 12 October.

Lions’ contribution grows So good to be

back at Level 2

By Viv Posselt

This year could be a fundraising record for the Cambridge Lions, with over $205,600 already funnelled into the community since January and more than $17,300 donated in grants during July alone. Those figures are after the club has paid operating expenses generated through its truck and via its four main funding streams – the Lions Shed, Trash ‘n Treasure Market, the Lions Caravan, and Wallace Building, which the club owns and rents out. Assuming the trajectory continues, the club will be well placed to celebrate its 60th anniversary in December. One of their biggest expenses is the food caravan, while the Lions Shed brings in a sizeable percentage of annual income. The increased use of online platforms has helped keep goods moving at times when Covid-19 lockdowns closed the shed to the public. The Lions Shed started in the mid1970s. Lions Club president Warren Beard, shed director David Philip and team member Heide Wehrle, said community engagement has grown steadily, due in part to a resurgence of recycling and in part to economic tensions linked to Covid-19. When open to the public, the shed attracts about 100 regulars on a Saturday morning, said David. “On sale days, we can have over 200 people in the building.” Buyers from around the region use the shed regularly to supply their op-shops. The shed also works closely with organisations like Cambridge

Community House, Kids in Need Waikato and Safer Communities, responding to urgent community needs with donations of free clothing and free furniture. In recent years, they have given sizeable donations to various groups, including $50,000 to the Cambridge Fire Brigade for a second response vehicle, $10,000 towards the refurbishment of the Lions Cancer Lodge, $7500 towards the refurbishment of the Cambridge Cricket Club rooms, and $2000 to Cambridge Patchwork to make quilts for Camp Quality youngsters. Heidi said the club’s reach is vast. It includes one-off contributions, such as purchase of lifting apparatus for Cambridge Resthaven rest home and a grant towards the Pump Track, as well

as regular donations to organisations that include the Salvation Army, Achievement House and Cambridge Community House. Warren said the club’s ability to give back to the community depends wholly on community support in the first place. “We are very grateful for that and are well-respected because of our community involvement.” David said the shed needs more ‘able-bodied’ volunteers, particularly once they re-open to the public. “Our membership is generally in their 60s upwards, and although we do have a few helpers who are students at Cambridge High, we do need younger volunteers willing to give us a couple of hours a week.” Those interested can contact David on 0274 929 211.

Cambridge parents Tarsha and Matt Makgill are excited about the district’s move to Alert Level 2 this week, which has come just as cabin fever was beginning to set in at their home. The couple have spent three weeks in lockdown with their children Georgia (eight), Josiah (six) and Zoe (three), who return to school and kindergarten today. “I would say in general the kids have been excellent, especially Georgia and Josiah, because they’re that little bit older and they remember lockdown from last year,” Tarsha said. “But, having said that, it’s definitely got to the point now where they’re probably ready to go and play with some other friends and they’ve just about had enough of each other.” She felt the move would make the biggest difference to Zoe, who didn’t remember lockdown from last year and “didn’t really understand it”. “You can tell she’s found it all a bit more confusing and upsetting than the others,” Tarsha said. The couple has been using strategies from Sue Lyon – who runs the Being My Best resilience programme in a number of Waipa primary schools – to help

their children cope with Covid upheaval. They will continue to do this as their family navigates a return to a more normal way of life. Strategies that had helped so far included sticking to usual routines as much as possible and talking to the children about their feelings. “We’ve also put up a sticker chart to encourage the kids to just walk away if they’re feeling frustrated or starting to get annoyed with their siblings,” Tarsha said. Sue Lyon said some children might find it difficult going back to school. She encourages parents to talk to their children about it. “Communication is the key,” she said. “Ask your child how they feel about going back to school. Listen to understand how they are feeling and acknowledge it’s okay to feel that way. Get your child to focus on the positive things about going back to school, like the children they’ll be able to play with and being with their teacher. If necessary, email your child’s teacher or talk to them to make them aware of how your child is feeling and what support they may need.” For more tips on how to help children during this time, go to www.cambridgenews.nz

FROM JUMBLE AROUND TO CAMBRIDGE RESTHAVEN In 1966, Cambridge needed a retirement village. Sheila Pidduck (nee Otway), head of the Fencourt Women’s Institute at the time, decided that something needed to Sheila Pidduck. be done. She became Photograph: Reg a driving force in Buckingham the fundraising that resulted in the establishment of Cambridge Resthaven in Vogel Street. It started with the collection of tea coupons and used stamps; then onto the selling of used clothing, handmade dolls and marmalade at the Cubis Foodmarket in Leamington. Second-hand store Jumble Around started operating at the Leamington Town Hall in August 1968. Between 1966 and 1974, fundraising had contributed $20,000 for Resthaven (over $106,000 in today’s money). The first two cottages built in Resthaven’s grounds (Rimu and Kowhai) were dubbed the Pidduck Cottages in honour of Sheila’s hard work and dedication. They were opened in November 1972. Next time you visit Resthaven, look out for the memorial plaque on the outside wall of Rimu, first on the left just as you enter the driveway. Jumble Around was supposed to be temporary but was so popular that in 1975 it moved next to the Leamington Fish Shop. Resthaven was no longer the only beneficiary, and various organisations – including the Cambridge Museum – have benefited from Jumble Around grants over the decades. The first stage of Resthaven was built and opened in November 1972 and was very much a community project. Further fundraising from community groups resulted in a hospital wing and this was built in 1979 with further development in 2009 and 2012 from individual donations. In April 2020, Cambridge Resthaven added a second centre, Resthaven on Burns in Burns Street, Leamington. - Karen Payne

CALVERTS In a recent Cambridge Museum Facebook post featuring the Calverts department store, we received many comments and memories about the cash carrier, the wooden ﬂoors, the old kerosene heaters, the “Man’s Shop” and the ﬁne quality and quantity of its wares. George Calvert was an experienced draper when he gave up his job at

Smith & Caughey in Auckland and moved to Cambridge with his wife and family in 1913. He took over an established fabric business in Victoria Street and renamed it Geo. Calvert & Co, later known as Calverts, specialising in clothing, fabrics and furnishings. He built Calvert’s Chambers next to his premises in 1925, and soon modernised

the store’s window frontage and verandas. These two buildings now house ﬁve businesses with road frontage – which gives you an idea of the size of the original ﬂoorspace. George’s son Maurice started with the business in 1933 and took over from his father in 1965. He was still at the helm when he retired and closed the business in 1985. - K Payne

“WHIZZ BANG” – CAMBRIDGE’S CASH CARRIER In 2003 technicians from Lamson Engineering in Auckland visited Cambridge. They had rescued an old rapid wire cash carrier, from department store Calverts after its closure, and were now installing it in the Cambridge Museum. What is a cash carrier and why was it used? In early department stores, only one cashier managed cash and receipts. Staﬀ had to walk across the store to carry payments between the sales counter and the cashier. In the 1870s, William Lamson of Massachusetts had the brilliant idea

of tying the cash up in a handkerchief and throwing it across to the cashier in his store. The handkerchief was replaced by a croquet ball, halved, hollowed out and secured with a rubber band. He eventually ﬁled a patent for a system where the cash was screwed into a wooden ball and sent down inclined rails. It was a popular contraption. He established the Lamson Company and took over patents for other cash carriers,

Three Waters: more against By Roy Pilott

Another local Government leader has voiced his opposition to the Government’s Three Waters plan – as district council mayors talk about referenda on the issue. Waikato Regional Council chair Russ Rimmington says his council has yet to debate the issue and formulate a view on it – but he knows where he stands. “I’m strongly opposed,” he said. For Rimmington the issue

has strong parallels with the government’s move to deregulate the energy industry in the 1980s which opened the way for overseas investors. In the mid-1990s he sided with a strong protest movement which opposed the then Waikato Electricity Authority’s move to enlarge Hamilton’s power company. A third of the shares in the enlarged company were put into the hands of American company Utilicorp. The arrangement also provided for the

establishment of the Wel Energy Trust, a publicly elected body, also holding a third of the shares. Rimmington was part of a movement which won control of the new Trust, which set about buying all the shares in the company to effectively undo the process started by the now defunct Waikato Electricity Authority. It won the fight in June 2000. In his book Hand a Man a Spanner, Rimmington notes that in the 1980s governments worldwide were driven by “right wing zealots”

Board funding revealed

Cambridge Community Board has $60,000 available as part of its Community Discretionary Fund for not-for-profit groups and organisations offering services and support to Waipā communities. Applications will open on February 7 next year and close March 19. Priority will be given to applications for local community activities or projects that promote resilience or recovery from Covid-19. This could include proposals such as programmes for people whose income has been affected, community initiatives to drive resilience or self-sufficiency in the community (such as community gardens; teaching cooking, sewing or financial literacy) or activities that promote economic recovery

by generating revenue for local businesses, employment or bring people into the district. The community board received a treasury update at its meeting last week. During its public forum, held by Zoom, the board also heard from Destination Cambridge chief executive Miff Macdiarmid requesting $3000 for the Christmas Parade and assistance to print a Cambridge food trail map. Chamber of Commerce chief executive Kelly Bouzaid revealed there were shortfalls in funding for more security cameras in Cambridge which had experienced increasing numbers of criminal activity. The board might also consider a third pop up edible garden after the success of two gardens in Leamington, said board member Elise Badger at the meeting.

demanding councils sell off utilities like water, gas and power departments. Today he finds himself in the opposite corner of a left-wing push to put the country’s water infrastructure into the hands of four giant companies. His views are the same as in the 1990s – “it’s a major asset our communities paid for and they’ll have less control over it,” he said. Waipā mayor Jim Mylchreest told the News’ Mary Anne Gill earlier this month the reforms were a “nonsense”. Taupo and South Waikato mayors want referenda on the issue, MatamataPiako’s mayor agrees there is a need for some “help here and there” but doesn’t support the handing over all infrastructure, Hamilton’s Paula Southgate has been sympathetic to the plan promoted by Local Government Minister Nanaia Mahuta – but her own council also has members opposed to it. Rimmington regarded the battle to keep American investors out as a battle with a wolf in sheep’s clothing. He is sceptical of the Government’s lump sum payments to councils to encourage them to stay on board.

Russ Rimmington

He also echoes concerns that an existing model in Scotland of what the Government is seeking to do has encountered problems. The Government’s move is driven by a view that the four big companies will bring greater expertise to how we use water – but Rimmington says the issue is not down the abilities of local councils – it’s down to how much money they have to do the job. If the Government approved low-cost loan, the quality of water management would rise dramatically, he believed. He also saw Three Waters as a chipping away at the walls of local Government. “The soul of local Government is local councils,” he said. “There will be merging water ownership – then it will be roads – and it will be the end of councils”.

Festival of Learning

Adult learning of all types are being celebrated in the Waikato and nationally this week during the Festival of Adult Learning – Ahurei Ākonga. The efforts and achievements of thousands of adults who take part in community-based education across the country - including digital skills, te reō Māori, the Road Code and getting ready for work - will be marked by Literacy Aotearoa Hamilton later in the year, Covid levels permitting. Their free programmes and some adult learning stories will be featured on the Facebook page, Literacy Aotearoa Hamilton. The festival, which incorporated International Literacy Day this week, aims to encourage anyone who wants to join a programme and build their literacy and numeracy-based skills. Literacy Aotearoa is one of hundreds of New Zealand organisations offering learning programmes to thousands of adults around the country. The programmes build skills, enable personal growth and in some cases lead on to qualifications.

As kids, our family owned a pet rabbit with a friendly and inquisitive personality. It developed a cyst that grew quickly to protrude from its face in an unsightly way. Our distress motivated my Mum to take it to the veterinary clinic. Sitting in the waiting room with ‘Nibbles’ on her knee it occurred to her no one else had animals with them. She satisfied herself that they must have already had their pets taken for examination. A staff person courteously asked Mum how they could help and if she had an appointment. She responded, “I’d hoped to be seen without one.” She was told someone would attend to her as soon as possible. So, Mum waited, feeling increasingly self-conscious, observing that she was still the only one who had their animal with them and feeling uneasy as staring eyes fixed their gaze on her. She approached a person who was obviously a nurse. “Excuse me but will a vet be available soon to look at my rabbit!?” The ‘nurse’ looked at her closely as a broad smile broke over her face. “Oh, I’m sorry you are in a psychiatrist’s rooms… if you want the vet, you’d best go next door!” Mum blushed with embarrassment as she exited rapidly to find the right place. Funny story but being in the wrong place at the wrong time isn’t usually funny. I heard a guy relating an experience he had, which demonstrates that. Standing in a large hotel foyer with people bustling in all directions, he noticed a nervous young woman nearby with a suitcase at her feet. This Christian man often received

impressions or insights about people from God, to help them. Standing there he recognised a familiar prompting - an inner voice nudging him to go and speak to the young lady. “Tell her she doesn’t have to do this…,” was the message he seemed to get. Feeling slightly apprehensive, he approached her. She was not at ease. He explained to the surprised woman that he was a Christian and that sometimes God gave him messages to pass on. She was even more stunned when he related his message, “God wants you to know that you don’t have to do this…” Not knowing what ‘this’ was, the man explained he was just the ‘messenger’ and asked if it meant anything to her. Emotionally, she disclosed her situation. She’d started seeing someone recently, who had begun forcefully pressuring her for ‘more’ in the relationship. Agreeing reluctantly to spend a weekend with this new ‘boyfriend’, she’d waited for him, feeling trapped and obligated. The man reassured her, that she owed nothing to this person and was in the ‘wrong place’, therefore free to walk away. He pointed out to her how much God cared, enough to save her, intervening to protect her from a potentially damaging decision. Hesitating, she tearfully mouthed a silent “thank you so much”- then was gone. Suppose God ‘spoke’ to you too, even in an unusual way, might you recognise it?

No place like…home By Mary Anne Gill

Actor and musician Joel Tobeck, who has carved out an illustrious career in the USA, Australia and New Zealand, wants to put a one-man show on at the Cambridge Gaslight Theatre. He could test the audience and see if they liked it, the 50-year-old star of One Lane Bridge, currently airing Sunday night on TVNZ1, told the News recently. And before you think this is some pretentious Hollywood prima donna, Tobeck has lived in Cambridge since 2006 when he and his wife Yvette moved from Auckland. It is a move he has never regretted as it offers him the opportunity to travel for his work while always able to return to home base in the “mighty Waikato.” “It’s different to Auckland. I grew up in Auckland and it’s very trendy (now).” Cambridge people are “salt of the earth and don’t take any bull***t,” he says. “It’s a great town. I do love coming home and chilling out really. The hustle and bustle of an Auckland, or a Melbourne or an LA (Los Angeles) can be quite full on. Everyone’s really nice here, a solid community, a beautiful area.” The couple have two daughters and a son; the younger two aged 13 and 15 are still at home. “I love it here. Fortunately for my kids they’ve got used to me always travelling for work. “My wife is a great foundation setter and a great home maker, so they’ve had a great comfortable time.” Tobeck was already something of a household name when they bought their house in Leamington 15 years ago. House prices in Cambridge were much cheaper than those in Auckland plus Yvette’s parents lived around the corner. Handy having the in-laws nearby, he says. The children all attended local schools, Leamington Primary, Cambridge Middle School and

Cambridge High School. Tobeck has become a huge Chiefs fan and since 2014 has turned out for the Cambridge Football Club’s Red Devils Sunday social team. He plays for the over 35s on a Saturday. “I hadn’t played for years, and I went out to the club for a New Zealand football match exhibition.” Club stalwart Josh Easby saw him and asked Tobeck if he was interested in playing for the Red Devils. “My skill level is not as good compared to the other guys who have kept it up these last 45 years. “I don’t spend a lot of time playing, if I’m working, I can’t play (because) if I get injured, I’m in trouble.” He started off in the midfield before moving into the striker’s position. “The irony is I’ve scored more goals playing for Cambridge than my whole time playing in Auckland.” Among those goals was a hat trick against a Hamilton club. “I was blown away by that.” Tobeck was born into an acting family and made his first stage appearance aged five with his mother, the late Liddy Holloway. The pair later both appeared in Shortland Street. Tobeck then picked up work in other television shows and movies including Hercules, Xena: Warrior Princess, Power Rangers, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King and Sons of Anarchy. He has also worked as a singer and guitarist over the years both in New Zealand and Australia. “I mix my (acting) roles up a lot. In Australia, I’ve played a lot of politicians, in America I was always the bad guy who wants to kill everybody.” He has no issue about being type cast, regularly taking roles that match his

CAMBRIDGE NEWS | 9

rugged features. “Luckily my face is holding up and the rugged look is popular. I tend to play the same sort of roles a lot but I’m not complaining, it’s a lot of fun.” Covid 19 slowed down but did not halt his acting career. When the first lockdown came, he was part way through filming Black Hands, the television series about the Bain family leading up to their tragic murders in Dunedin in 1994. Tobeck played Robin Bain, whose eldest son David was found guilty of the murders of the five other members of his family and was later acquitted at a new trial in 2009. The series was completed post lockdown last year followed by the second series of One Lane Bridge. Filming on that wrapped in March. In between, Tobeck - who does regular voice work for radio and television - teaches acting and drama in Auckland and online. The teaching is something he enjoys. Students are mostly adults aged 18-45 years. “A lot of the older ones have had regular careers, they’ve raised their children, their children have left home say and they think it’s now time to want to have a go at. They don’t always want to be actors. A lot are out to get more confidence and try something new. And then there’s others who do want to be actors,” says Tobeck. “Learning a skill, whatever it is, takes practice and to master it takes a lot of practice. “Having a creative streak inside you and developing that from an early age is really important. Just for a bit of balance in the world. Actors and dancers and I guess artists have always been thought of as less important I suppose in some ways. Being creative is pretty cool.” Tobeck is a keen cyclist often seen riding around the town. The family go for lots of family walks and bike rides. Karāpiro is a particular favourite. Post Covid, he hopes to be able to return to Australia, a country he has not worked in since 2018. “I love Australia and I love working there. I just got busy working here and never got back. Hopefully it will happen soon.” Asked whether he had ever considered appearing in any Cambridge Repertory Society productions, Tobeck instead talks about how he would love to put on a one-man play at the society’s Gaslight Theatre. And his interest is further piqued when The News reveals a newly formed Cambridge Town Hall Community Trust wants to “reactivate” the Town Hall and its upstairs theatre. “That’s a lovely venue,” he muses.

THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 9, 2021

Spring and lockdowns The coincidence of the arrival of Spring coupled with an enforced lockdown brings to the visual and auditory senses a new perspective. The marked drop in road traffic is also coupled with hearing an abundance of birdsong in the neighbourhood. We are now the proud observers of the return of two of our favourite types of feathered friends. Both are supplied with brilliantly coloured feathers which, when in bright sunshine, show off their plumage to perfection. In a previous Cambridge home, we had a large kowhai tree which, when blooming, attracted regular groups of tui. The tree was so large and laden with yellow blossoms we once counted twenty of these lovely birds all attempting to work their patch furiously. However (and sadly) like many groups of similar life there is always the one aspiring to be the leader. He never had time to stick his beak into the flowers’ mouths to pick up the sweet nectar – instead he spent his whole time fossicking around the tree giving off noisy and obtrusive squarks to frighten the others from their allotted and pleasing task. At around 5pm he would give out a triumphant yell and, as a total and cohesive

THE AGE OF REASON By Peter Carr

team, every bird would ascend above the tree. And with you-know-who in charge they would set out like an aerial convoy in the direction of their sanctuary at Maungatautari. We have a much smaller garden in the retirement village, but we managed, 10 years ago, to find a kowhai which is designed to be kept at 2 meters tall and 2 meters wide. Naturally this is not going to attract flocks of tuis, so we have a single, very large, bird who spends a good part of each day within the green and yellow foliage enjoying his feast. When he turns his side to the sun his brilliant, mainly green, feathers are a delight to perceive, and he is quite friendly when we pass close to the tree. The other splendid, feathered sight that has returned for possibly the fifth Spring is a pair of parakeets whose brilliant multicoloured feathers are just too beautiful to describe. The parrot-based parakeet is a name derived from several European languages (with similar spelling or pronunciation) based on a diminutive meaning in Spanish for a ‘little wig’. It’s possibly a 16th century hark back to ladies of wealth who wore feathers on their heads of startling plumage

both in colour and size. By the time you read this opinion piece you will already know the decisions regarding changes of level. While these hard calls are aimed at overall national safety it is clear this type of in again – out again interruption to life and commerce cannot continue. Possibly wrongly, the government is

having to take the brunt of criticism. But perhaps the critics could – instead of just moaning about this unwelcome invasion to our lives – come up with a worthwhile alternative that does not diminish the quality of life.

NO PLANET B

How people cope... By Peter Matthews

Lockdown is tough, more so for some than others. In the course of my work I speak to a variety of clients most days and it is the ones who are doing it alone who struggle the most. That’s why we hear the words “be kind” so often. Some people are so pleased to get a phone call they will talk for ages - and that’s fine - why shouldn’t they? The least I can do is spare some time for a conversation which veers off topic for a while. The whole family and I went for a bike ride today. The idea was that they would cycle down the normal path to the furthest point from our house, about 2 kilometres, and then turn round and come back. I, on the other hand, wanting to get some real exercise decided to cycle towards town and then go round the long way, hoping to get to the ‘turning point’ before the rest of them. During the course of my excursion I witnessed a range of temperaments so wide I thought I should write about it. Some people put their heads down and stride purposefully forwards without so much as a sideways glance. They can be Masport A3800 forgiven though; they’re a bit stressed.

on a lead. I don’t have a bell on my bicycle and there is not sufficient grass verge to allow me to pass comfortably, so I slow right down and change gear, and yes, they hear me, but do they move to allow me to pass? Not immediately no. Fair enough, they are deep in conversation, but I am not involved and to be honest I am not interested enough to want to spend much time listening. One eventually turns towards me, frowns, and makes reining in her dog into a theatrical event, allowing me, after what feels like an uncomfortably long time, to pass. “Thank you”, I say, smiling as I negotiate my allotted course. Once clear of the combat zone I set my mind to getting back up to speed and as I pull away the “Harrumph!” catches up and passes me like the North Wind. Clearly they would have been happier had I levitated myself and my bicycle out of their important way. Now to fill my environmental brief: I heard a brilliant quote from the recently late Sean Lock. Talking about the rampant consumerism he witnessed on a trip to the US, he said it made his own efforts at recycling feel as though he had turned up to an earthquake with a dustpan and brush. He was a funny man and the environment is a lesser place without him.

Businesses get the benefit

Final call for longstanding RSA man

Waipā District Council says its first trades services panel will bring $3 million in benefits to district businesses. A total of 93 Waipā business will be eligible to pick up unplanned trade work. Council spent about $3m on this type of work last year. The panel was established to help to manage costs and timeframes and support businesses that contributed to the local economy. Procurement advisor Adele Bird said having agreed response time and hourly rates makes it easier for both suppliers and council to prioritise jobs, particularly urgent ones. “We also wanted to get better visibility of labour rates, margins on materials, after-hours rates and mileage that we were being charged,” she said. “It’s also important that Council are spending our budgets on suppliers who invest back into the Waipā economy, for example having staff living and shopping locally and participating in the community,” she added. Of the 114 businesses who applied to the panel, 93 were selected. Businesses were evaluated based on experience, skills, resources and their impact to the local economy. Trade services covered by the panel include electrical, carpentry, fencing, painters, sign writers and glazing.

Ray Moncur, one of Cambridge’s enduring veterans and a man known for his links to the town’s sporting communities, has died aged 102. Ray was one of the few who were awarded life membership to the Cambridge Returned Services Association (RSA). When family gathered to celebrate his June 7 centenary in 2019, he was acutely aware that the following day marked the 75th anniversary of the 1944 Allies’ D-Day landings in France. His World War II service with K Section Signals, 5th New Zealand Infantry Brigade, 2nd NZEF, saw him deploy in North Africa, arriving in Egypt just before the battle of El Alamein. His service earned him several medals, yet he spoke rarely of his harrowing wartime experiences, at one point alluding to the horrors of German fighter planes strafing unprotected convoys and his many narrow escapes. Ray was born in Auckland in 1919 and lost

his father when just three years old. After his early primary education, he went to Dilworth School at age nine. He left there at 15 to start a 42-year Post Office career that began as a telegraph messenger boy at Auckland’s Chief Post Office and took him to Newmarket, Kaikohe, Kaitaia and Albany before he enlisted in 1941.

After the war ended, he came home and married his late wife Roie in December 1945. The pair had met in a milk-bar in Newmarket in 1939. Ray’s continuing Post Office career took him around Auckland, to Shannon, Eastbourne and Waiuku. The couple moved to Cambridge in 1954, and it was here that

he retired from the Post Office in 1976, and in 1982 from a later job he took at Aotearoa Meat Works. Cambridge offered a raft of opportunities for the avowed sports lover. He had played 1st XI cricket and 1st XV rugby at Dilworth and became an active member of both the Cambridge Swimming Club and the Cambridge Rugby Referees’ SubAssociation for decades. His many roles with the swimming club included that of president, club captain, club announcer, coach and publicity officer. In the late 1960s he was awarded the Gordon Bridson Trophy in acknowledgment of his outstanding service to the club. Equally skilled at bowling, Ray became Waikato singles champion at one stage and played well into his 80s. He was made a life member of both the Cambridge Swimming Club and the Leamington Bowling Club. Ray and Roie were parents to four children. For the past few years, he had lived at Cambridge Resthaven, and it is there that he died on August 28.

Hill pays tribute Cambridge RSA president Tony Hill, MBE, expressed his sadness at the passing of Ray Moncur. He said the said the loss of a veteran was always a sad moment, and it was important to remember that the societal freedoms enjoyed today result from the service and sacrifice of all veterans. “Service and sacrifice is a recurring theme for all veterans and their families, from WWII to Afghanistan, and to those staffing the MIQs here in our fight against Covid,” he said. “While we do not have club rooms in Cambridge any longer, we do have an active support system, and provide remembrance, support and advocacy for those impacted by their service.” He said anyone who has served, or who had family who served and needs assistance, should approach the RSA. “Rest in peace Sgt Moncur and thank you for your service.”

Blue September

6+Time to go Blue More than 650 kiwi men will die this year from prostate cancer, but with further awareness that number can drop.

What causes prostate cancer

Mates, fathers, sons, brothers, grandfathers – if you haven’t been directly affected by prostate cancer, you’re bound to know someone who has.

Doctors do not know what causes prostate cancer. What they do know however, is that the growth of cancer cells in the prostate is stimulated by male hormones, especially testosterone.

In New Zealand, prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men.

Most prostate cancer growth is influenced by testosterone but the speed at which prostate cancer grows varies from man to man. In some men the cancer grows very slowly (called indolent), in others growth is more rapid (aggressive).

According to Ministry of Health close to 4000 kiwi men will be diagnosed this year with over a fifth of them dying from the disease. That means that a man is diagnosed with the disease every three hours and one or more die from prostate cancer each day, with one in eight men developing prostate cancer in their lifetime.

Prostate cancer occurs when abnormal cells develop in the prostate. These cells have the potential to continue to multiply, and possibly spread beyond the prostate.

Men are more likely to develop prostate cancer as they get older or if they have someone in their family, as it is more common in men who have a father or brother with prostate cancer.

Difficulty urinating

Pelvic Discomfort

But anyone with a prostate can get prostate cancer – including transgender women, male-assigned non-binary people or intersex people. Māori men have a slightly lower incidence of prostate cancer but have a higher death rate than other New Zealand men. The reasons for this may be a later diagnosis or treatment choices offered to them. Overall, the number of men diagnosed in New Zealand is increasing, largely due to increased rates of testing and the death rate is slowly dropping, largely due to better outcomes from early diagnosis and improved treatments available.

Blood in Urine

What are some of the symptoms to look out for? In many cases, prostate cancer does not produce any symptoms until the condition is quite advanced. Often it is diagnosed after treatment is sought for problems with urinary function. Symptoms of prostate cancer are often similar to those of benign (noncancerous) prostate conditions, such as an enlarged prostate. Common symptoms of prostate cancer include:  Decreased force of the urine stream  Blood in the urine

THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 9, 2021

Blue September Blue September awareness Blue September is the Prostate Cancer Foundation’s annual awareness and fundraising campaign. By having a Blue Do you are directly helping to eliminate death and suffering from prostate cancer. A Blue Do can be any sort of activity and is a great way to get friends, whanau and work colleagues involved in the fight against prostate cancer.

Weak Urine Flow  Pain and/or difficulty when passing urine  Passing urine more frequently (especially at night)  Inability to pass urine (this can occur as the cancer enlarges, blocking the urethra). The most common places for prostate cancer to spread to are the lymph nodes of the pelvis and the bones of the spine with the spread of the cancer can produce symptoms such as lower back pain. But the main goal to prevent prostate cancer or get an early detection is to continue regular check ups with your doctor to keep on top of your health.

While cancer research has helped many of our friends, family and clients to survive cancer, we remember with love those who are no longer with us. Peter, Carey and Paul.

From sizzling sausages to running a marathon, hosting a blue ball or hitting a hole in one, there is a huge dedication that people who organise events and fundraisers give to support the Prostate Cancer Foundation. The foundation is very proud of what the country collectively accomplishes during Blue September. Every effort, every activity, every dollar, every cent, however small, helps to improve the health outcomes of kiwi men.

While many early events across the country have been hampered by the recent Covid outbreak it means that fundraising and gathering awareness across the community is being hit for this Blue September. But that doesn’t mean that you cannot show your support online by setting up your own fundraiser to follow the re-emerged Covid rules. Being part of a fundraising event is great fun, especially when it involves a group working together in the community for a common goal. Connect with friends, family or work colleagues and form a fundraising group and come up with your own unique event that will inspire your community to support the fight against prostate cancer.
