Getting all six Cambridge-based Waipā District councillors together on the banks of the Waikato River early in the morning for a photograph is proof of just how against they are to the Three Waters Reform. Deputy mayor Liz Stolwyk summed it up when she said: “My job is to do the right thing by our ratepayers and Three Waters is not the right thing.” Stolwyk and fellow councillors, Mike Pettit, Philip Coles, Roger Gordon, Grahame Webber and Elwyn AndreeWiltens are all vehemently opposed to the reforms and are calling on Local Government minister Nanaia Mahuta to back down on her plans for water reform. Under Three Waters, all 67 local and

regional councils’ drinking, waste and stormwater assets would be absorbed by four large regional entities. The government would pay for billions of dollars’ worth of muchneeded infrastructure and repairs. Waipā’s proposed funding allocation is approximately $21 million (with half of this to be a charge on the new water entity). “We know that 60 councils have serious concerns. Our collective voices have to count, it has to count,” said Stolwyk. The six councillors have called a public meeting – if Covid restrictions permit in Cambridge on October 18 at 7.30pm in Bridges Church, Duke Street. Their Te Awamutu colleagues held a public meeting on the same issue on Monday.

oldies goodies
Planning issues I read with interest the article ‘District plan or district scam?’ (Cambridge News, September 23) and the response from Mr Dyet, Chief Executive of Waipā District Council (Letters, September 30). The article caught my attention because I have also had an experience in recent years of the Council’s approach to implementation of its District Plan. In the situation your reporter observed, the Council staff had recommended that the non-complying activity should go ahead, and the Council’s regulatory committee agreed with their recommendation. In the example I experienced, the Council staff recommended that the committee should not approve the non-complying activity, and the regulatory committee decided nonetheless to approve it. One observation I would make from my experience is that I don’t think it is good practice for the Council to over-ride a fundamental provision of its District Plan by allowing non-compliance in response to individual consent applications. In the situation I made submissions about, the core issue was that the lot (section) size was below the minimum size set out in the District Plan for subdivision into two. Other issues only arose because of that fundamental point – for example, if the subdivision was allowed, then a narrower driveway and road frontage than specified in the District Plan would also need to be allowed. So the provision of the Plan about minimum lot size was clearly a fundamental provision, and one that I think residents would not expect to be over-ridden in the course of a Council committee process. Instead, I think it would have been better practice for the Council to first change the

Plan, by consulting on a proposal to lower the minimum lot size, during the regular District Plan review. The second observation I would make based on my experience was that the regulatory committee didn’t appear wellequipped to give attention to the mix of activities and housing types which would result in the neighbourhood, from the gradual accumulation of its one-off decisions on consent applications. I can understand that this is a difficult issue to consider in practice, but it was a requirement of the District Plan that they should do so. It is also the issue that probably has the most impact on the everyday life of residents, and also on the extent to which the vision and strategy of a District Plan is achieved (or not). Your promotion of reporting on detailed Council business will encourage discussion of these kinds of issues, so please keep up your good work, it can help the Council to consider improvements to its processes and practices, and help us all to become better-informed participants in local democracy. Kaye Turner Cambridge The Action Man Thanks for profiling Joel Tobeck in Cambridge News (September 9). I have had the pleasure of playing beside this guy at Cambridge Football Club. The Red Devils are a Sunday league team. This team gives people an opportunity to play football on Sundays if their Saturday is already occupied. Joel came to us a few years ago now and wanted to play football we screened him and sorted a team for him which was the Cambridge’s Red Devils. Not anybody can just play for this team.
(A bit of a boys club). Joel fitted in and made connections with everyone within the team. Quite a talent just within that. Over his playing days we have seen Joel score the odd goal and celebrate as one does. As part of this prestigious team all players somehow get given a nickname. So Joel ended up with “Action” somehow his acting career, musical interests and goal scoring celebration kind of collided and nicknames stick. I personally think it’s great to see profiled people such as Joel in our town and also at our club. We have a friendly relaxed atmosphere at our football club where anybody can come down and be part of a growing club. Greg Zeuren Chairman, Cambridge Football Club Four waters? Nanaia Mahuta wants to install a nonelected board of strangers picked by another layer of faceless bureaucracy called a governance group (which includes iwi members) to take control of assets built up by ratepayers. Why don’t we propose to take over the water from the start of Lake Karapiro to the end of Tamahere and own that? We could install our own board to oversee it, perhaps known well respected tax paying senior members of this great area who can be trusted. The speed of change this government is pushing things through whilst everyone is conveniently caught up managing Covid and a glacially slow vaccine roll out, is highly concerning.

It has been a week of uncertainty with the changing Covid-19 alert levels hasn’t it? I hope that whether in level 2 or 3, you are keeping safe and monitoring your personal wellbeing. This week, I have a few things on my list to mention. I wish to start by thanking our community for the support that we so often see when attending incidents. This includes people who are first at a crash scene to render first aid and call Police, witnesses who come forward with information about offending, ues through to those who report that they have Alys Antiq t & Fine Ar observed a person in need of help. A good example of the latter is a recent call made to Police about an elderly lady found walking in a confused state in Carter’s Flat. Staff at a business had taken her in. As a result, we attended and were able to identify and safely return the lady to her residence.

I noted that she wore a Wander Search pendant, which would have also assisted us in locating her if needed. If your spouse or family member suffers from dementia or other cognitive impairment and they develop a tendency to wander off alone, I strongly recommend the use of a Wander Search or similar tracking device. The person may easily get lost, confused, agitated and anxious in those situations. While the device will not physically prevent them from wandering, it will greatly assist Police/Search and Rescue to find the person in a timely manner. Time is of the essence to ensuring the person is located fit and well. With any missing person but specifically where that person is elderly, impaired or young, phone 111 early. The sooner we can begin searching, the smaller the distance the person will have had the chance to travel. We would rather be
told early and find them quickly, than be told late, have a much larger search area and risk a less positive outcome. For further information, go to https://www.police.govt.nz/missingpersons/advice-and-support/dementiawandering. In other news, firstly we have recently had a couple of cases where stock have been stolen in our rural areas. Please be sure to report if this happens to you. As with any crime, being fully aware of the scope and extent of the problem is important. Secondly, staff have located a training AED unit (such as those used in First Aid training courses). If you or someone you know has had one stolen, please contact me at CambridgeCommunityLiaison@police.govt. nz with identifying details.

Briefs… Debating win St Peter’s defended their Waikato Secondary Schools’ Senior Premier Debating Championship title last week, beating Hamilton Boys’ High School for a second year in a row. The winning team, from left was Elaine Lee, Meghana Gaddam and Andrew Qiu.
Social media success The News’ presence on social media continues to expand with its most popular post ever last week, the story about the mixed-use development in Leamington. Visitors to our website continue to improve as well. Publisher David Mackenzie said publishing community newspapers required a fine balance between those who want to read a physical copy and those who were happy to read online. “We’re appealing to both now and with advertising opportunities available on both, we believe we’re looking after our readers and advertisers.” Skatepark update Waipā District Council has engaged a skatepark designer to provide highlevel concepts and material to enable the council to discuss what types of facilities would be achievable at the Te Awamutu and Cambridge skate facilities. Kaitiaki groups will be set up in each town to assist the council’s engagement team. Speed questions Waka Kotahi is asking for feedback from residents in Te Poi, Matamata and Tauranga about speed limits on state highways. State Highways 24, 29 and 29A in East Waikato and Bay of Plenty are under the spotlight after being identified as roads where different speed limits could make a big difference in preventing deaths and serious injuries.
‘Our tamariki deserve the best future’ As the Waikato District Health Board seeks to drive up Māori vaccinations rates, Waikato-Hauraki MP Nanaia Mahuta today implores News readers to ‘vax to the max”.
I recently attended a mass community vaccination event at Hopuhopu in Ngaruawahia “Aio Nuku, Aio Rangi”. Targeted at the wider Waikato region, it was great to see the so many whānau taking up the call to get vaccinated while remaining in the relative comfort of their own car. But the stark reality is that there is more mahi to be done. Just a few weeks before, Kaiaua and Whakatīwai communities were placed under the restrictions of a Section 70 notice after the emergence of positive delta variant cases. Local Māori health provider Te Korowai Hauora o Hauraki quickly mobilised for the moment they had both dreaded but planned for. Testing rates were high
followed by a drive for the one thing that we all need to put at the top of our ‘to do’ list: getting vaccinated. At the frontlines of our Māori communities are our essential workers – iwibased health and social service providers leading the charge to assure and rally our communities. This was certainly the case for the first lockdown in 2020 and has continued to be the norm for communities this time around. But here’s the thing we have learned – the Delta variant is highly transmissible, and it’s as tricky as a stoat in a field of grass to try and track down. As parts of our region have once again moved to Alert Level 3, the message is clear that that getting vaccinated is the best way to protect ourselves, our whānau and
wider community here in Waikato. Vaccinations in our region have seen rates track well for the 65+ demographic, yet all eligible Māori across the region sit at approximately 52% for the first dose with the total number of Māori fully vaccinated significantly lower at 27%. While we can take comfort in increasing figures, we can’t afford to be complacent. The Government has maintained an elimination strategy and now that we are progressing through our vaccination effort, the Prime Minister has challenged our team of five million to get 90% of the eligible population vaccinated. This will equate to approximately 75% of the total population and a higher assurance that the ravaging impacts of coronavirus will
not take hold and overwhelm our health services. We know this approach resonates strongly with local iwi leaders who are endorsing the Pfizer rollout through their networks for the purpose of whānau getting vaccinated to protect their whakapapa, tamariki and mokopuna. When it comes to reliable information, challenge still lies ahead. Social media platforms have opened the floodgates of myth and misinformation – fuelling anti-vaccination rhetoric. We know this can only be combatted if whānau confront fear and hesitancy in our region and direct their community to health experts. With the sobering reminder of the 1918 influenza epidemic as a crucial point in history for our Māori communities, the way
Nanaia Mahuta
forward for Waikato needs to be ensuring that anyone who can get vaccinated does so, because every extra person vaccinated is another layer of protection for us all against Covid-19. Protect your whānau today and don’t hesitate to vaccinate – our tamariki deserve the best future.
Ministry v social media
The Health Ministry is facing a barrage of claims that the Covid vaccine is a tester for mass genocide, has left multiple people been in intensive care units and reports of deaths are removed from websites. As efforts are made to ramp up vaccinations rates, particularly among Waipā’s Māori and Pasifika, media outlets are being asked to follow up claims of multiple deaths. One site referred to by a News reader has posts from many people who claim to know two people who were perfectly healthy but died soon after getting the jab. In the News today, Hauraki-Waikato MP Nanaia Mahuta laments how social media platforms “have opened the floodgates of myth and misinformation”. A health ministry spokesperson told the News this week that as of September 16, over four million doses of the Pfizer vaccine had been administered in New Zealand and 60 deaths had been reported to Centre for Adverse Reactions Monitoring CARM. That is a death rate following – but not necessarily linked to - the jab of 0.0015 per cent. No readers has come to the News with a report of a death or serious illness following a Covid jab. “Anyone who experiences a reaction following vaccination is encouraged to report it to the Centre for Adverse Reactions Monitoring (CARM). You don’t have to be a health professional to submit a report and you don’t need to be certain that the reaction was caused by the vaccine,” the
spokesperson said. “If there is a death that is linked to the vaccine, it would be made public and reported accordingly. Just as we report the sad deaths of people who have died from Covid-19.” The Ministry pointed to a case earlier this year where a woman in her 50s who had received the Pfizer vaccine died. “The CV-ISMB reviewed this case and considered that the woman’s death was due to myocarditis, which is known to be a rare side effect of the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine. They considered that the myocarditis was probably due to vaccination. The case has been referred to the Coroner and the cause of death has not yet been determined.”
Medsafe issues weekly reports summarising the number and type of adverse events following immunisation reported with Covid-19 vaccines at www.medsafe.govt.nz/Covid-19/vaccine-reportoverview.asp In the latest Medsafe report the analysis of observed numbers of deaths against the expected number from natural death rates in previous years shows that there is no effect of vaccination on death rates. “When a large number of people are being vaccinated, including elderly people and those with significant long-term health issues, there is a high probability that some people will die by chance after their vaccination,” the spokesperson said.
Back to the future?
Queues began forming in Cambridge supermarkerts yesterday as reports of a Covid case in the area spreads. This is how Cambridge looked the last time thetown was in lockdown. Retailers will be hoping if there is a lifting of Covid lockdown levels it will be short lived.

New backdrop for domain trains By Mary Anne Gill
An ugly cream fence in Leamington Domain may be festooned in colour to ensure residents and visitors experience thought-provoking, culturally vibrant, enjoyable, challenging, and inspiring art. Behind the fence is a shipping container which contains the Cambridge Model Engineering Society’s locomotions and paraphernalia. While the trains are currently on hiatus until Cambridge gets back into level one lockdown, members met on Sunday to discuss club business and what might appear on the mural. President Bruce Casey, committee members Allen Edwards, Ron Crisp and Neil Milham all support the mural and say there were looking forward to seeing the corner brightened up. Discussion about what sort of mural would go on the wall was to have been discussed at the council’s Strategic Planning and Policy committee on Tuesday. The mural initiative in a public space is consistent with Waipā District Council’s Arts Policy, adopted in 2018. But the Cambridge councillors successfully sought to have discussion “lie on the table” to allow the Cambridge Community Board to have some involvement in the decision. Grahame Webber said he felt not involving the board was an “oversight” by the council while deputy mayor Liz Stolwyk said she wanted some comfort from the community board first. The council is paying for the mural and all public art requires approval through the Strategic Planning and Policy committee. Cambridge Netball Centre supports the proposal with the netballers saying they are
keen on developing a mural to enhance a blank concrete wall on their site. Museums and Heritage director Anne Blyth’s report to the committee said the proposed mural developed by artist Janie Neal would include multiple ply cut outs of local native flora and fauna set against the background of an historic map of the Waipā river and the land surrounding it.
“The mural is designed to reduce the impact of the built structures on the open space, having part of the mural mainly black and white with light brown colours will help achieve this. The proposed landscape painting depicting Maungatautari will be in full colour providing a colour contrast,” said Blyth. Neal, who has a Bachelor of Media Arts
Cambridge Model Engineering Society members, from left front, Allen Edwards, Eli Taia, 7, and Cody Casey and back, Bruce Casey, Ron Crisp and Neil Milham.
majoring in painting from Wintec, has been involved in mural work for more than 10 years. She has collaborated with schools, businesses, and councils to achieve their visions. The mural, which would cost $14,000, would mainly use native flora and fauna. The background is an old map of the Waipā River, sourced from the Te Awamutu Museum. On the left side of the mural would be a landscape painting of Maungatautari; then over the top cut outs including kowhai, cow, flax, horse, moths, cicada, tui, fantails, kawawa, kaka and huhu beetles. It will help soften the hard landscaping and provide the community with some distinctive public art to enjoy. Blyth said she hoped to have an art piece there would deter tagging and graffiti which would see maintenance costs for the fence reduced. The train society have leased land at Leamington Domain for a miniature railway for 10 years and the track was opened in December 2012. The 200-300m long track loops around the domain. A recent addition was the Lions’ Den Tunnel. Casey said they were keen to recruit more volunteer members to run the miniature railway and learn how to drive the trains. The trains have always been supported by local businesses, he said. The domain is home to several sports including petanque, croquet, netball, skating and cricket. The children’s playground is one of the district’s best-supported venues with its lifesized steam roller and picnic tables which make it a popular birthday venue.

Growing pains and gains
A 30-year growth strategy for Waikato has been released for the public to comment on. Future Proof is a 30-year plan for the Hamilton, Waipā and the Waikato sub-region. It takes into account the growing importance of the Hamilton to Auckland Corridor Plan and the Hamilton-Waikato metropolitan area. It also factors in key government initiatives such as the National Policy Statement on Urban Development (NPS-UD) and the Government’s Urban Growth Agenda. Both initiatives have a strong focus on housing and are prompting councils to look at growing up rather than out – much to the chagrin of existing homeowners. Bill Wasley, the independent chair of the Future Proof Implementation Committee, says the updated draft strategy is a model for local government, Iwi and government agencies to work collaboratively and ensure growth is well-planned. “This is beyond territorial boundaries. In a planning sense, we simply can’t think like that anymore. It’s about actively collaborating to determine how we want the wider region to develop and grow. This strategy provides a framework to manage growth in a staged and coordinated way and to address complex, cross-boundary planning, infrastructure and

environmental issues.” Developers, residents, businesses and young people need to know what Future Proof is proposing and provide their feedback, he said. “The work we have done shows there is more than enough land in the wider region for development; land is not the problem. The
challenge is servicing that land and providing infrastructure in an affordable way so land can be developed to provide different types of housing, including far more affordable housing,” Wasley said. “To get well functioning settlements in places where we most need them, we need to take a

wide range of issues into account, including the health of the Waikato River, climate change, transport links and community services,” he said. “We can’t just keep allowing greenfield developments; our communities and our environment can’t afford it. So this updated strategy is proposing a number of
changes to drive growth to where we most need it.” The strategy sets out a settlement pattern for how and where growth will occur in the sub-region. It has been updated to reflect the latest development demand and supply figures which indicates there is plenty of suburban land to meet demand. It also includes criteria to help determine out-of-sequence or unanticipated development. Waipā mayor Jim Mylchreest said approximately 90 per cent of Waipā residential growth will be within urban areas of Cambridge, Te Awamutu and Kihikihi. Much of Waipā’s new industrial growth will occur at Hamilton Airport, located in the Waipā district. “The strategy sets a blue-print for growth that reinforces our existing settlements and in doing so, protects the rural character of our district. It also signals a much stronger investment in public transport to increase accessibility between Hamilton, Cambridge and Te Awamutu,” Mylchreest said. “The fact is that plenty of people work in Hamilton city but return to live and play in our district. That is unlikely to change given forecast growth and given Waipā is known as a great place live and raise families.” Feedback on the updated Future Proof strategy is open until November 12 and public hearings are likely to be held in December.

FAITH IN WAIPĀ
NO PLANET B
Vax and fiction
As you’d have others do to you…
By Peter Matthews
By Murray Smith, Senior Leader, Bridges Church
There seems to be a fair bit of anger in the community directed towards the Prime Minister. As far as I am aware she did not introduce Corona virus to this country, nor is she trying deliberately to ruin everyone’s day. To resort to name calling and personal attacks is, I feel, unworthy of the people of this great country. If someone has a better idea the way into politics is open - go for it. Now, anti-vaxxers; I’ve heard a couple of people recently who have said, apparently quite seriously, that a healthy diet will be sufficient to protect against Covid 19. I have also heard of people finding friendships strained by the issue. How does one react to the revelation that one’s friend, a hitherto seemingly sensible person, is of the view that vaccination is a bad idea? Or to look at it the other way, how does one deal with a friend who takes the illogical view that vaccination is a good idea? Of course, it all depends on one’s own view. The reasons for differences of opinion are many and varied and there are, rightly, as many opinions as people who hold them. It all becomes a bit cloudy when people begin to confuse opinion with fact. At one end of the spectrum facts are pretty well indisputable: If I hit my head against a brick wall the action will result in a painful injury. This is a fact. If I concentrate very hard on a rock, I will be able to cause the rock to rise, unaided, into the air. This is not a fact, moreover it is demonstrably untrue. If a person is to take an objective position on an issue, and particularly if they wish to defend it, is it not their responsibility to avail
themselves of some evidence? Evidence may come in the form of supporting facts. This is the best kind of evidence. Alternatively, evidence may be circumstantial or anecdotal; it may simply be a situation or sequence of events which ‘tends to suggest’ that a proposition is true. If an adopted position is subjective, like for instance, my view that Eric Clapton is the greatest living guitarist, then facts don’t come into it. This is an opinion. My teenage son and I regularly clash over our differing opinions on a range of subjects, and we do occasionally have to remind each other not to present opinions as facts. To do so diminishes what starts as a healthy discussion into verbal ping pong: “Yes it is - no it’s not” which invariably leads nowhere So where do science, religion, medicine, quackery, literature, and politics, for example, sit in the wide realm between opinion and fact? I, personally, attach more credence to factual evidence than circumstantial, but I wouldn’t want to compel others to do the same. ONLY PLANET That is why I am a secularist. It is also why I believe that vaccination against Covid 19 is a good idea. And that’s an actual fact… in my opinion.
Parents found a scrawled crayon note that their little daughter had written on a scrappy piece of paper. It was addressed to God. “Dear God, my brother is mean. I heard you said do to others as they do to you. Does this mean I can bash him ? Her creatively rewritten version of the ‘Golden Rule’ accompanies other variants proffered such as the famous corporate version, ‘Whoever owns the gold gets to make the rules.’ A former politician I knew, described the brutal environment he experienced during his time in parliament where he said that, ‘Do unto others before they do unto you,’ was the norm. All the above are of course corruptions of the Golden Rule that Jesus spelled out in what is known as the Sermon on the Mount, ‘So in everything, do unto others what you would have done to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.’ These words represent the Bible’s entire teaching on how to relate to others. Jesus’ rule of conduct ought to govern our lives - not only when we feel like it through random acts of kindness, but a day in, day out lifestyle of compassion and caring. It was totally revolutionary… no other religious leader had ever taught this before. The basis of the Golden Rule is to show care and selfless expressions of wanting other’s highest good, without any ulterior motive of self-benefit. The instructions Jesus gave in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew’s and Luke’s Gospel Chapter 6), are full of radical injunctions such as to ‘Love your enemies,’ ‘turning the other cheek’, ‘if someone demands your coat, offer your shirt also’, and to forgive
those who have wronged you without seeking revenge… Jesus’ words remain powerful and lifechanging ever since He spoke them. Over 150 years ago such words in the Gospel of Luke (Te Rongopai a Ruka) became the greatest treasure to Taore, a young Māori. She had been taught to read by missionaries and wore the little book written in her own language around her neck in a flax kete. This daughter of Chief Ngakuku influenced her people as they heard Luke’s gospel being read aloud and it dramatically transformed their lives. One night camping by Wairere Falls, a raiding party attacked them. It was swift and deadly. Ngakuku found his beloved daughter’s lifeless body… the kete had been snatched from her neck. Expecting to find gemstones in the flax bag, Uita the chief of the raiding party, took the book with him. Later Uita met a man named Ripahu, a former slave to a Bay of Islands tribe who had been freed. Ripahu had learned to read before returning to Rotorua where he met Uita. Discovering that Ripahu could read, Uita brought Taore’s book to him. As Ripahu read from Luke’s Gospel, it pierced Uita’s heart deeply. Seeking forgiveness he journeyed to find Ngakuku, aware ‘utu’ (revenge) could await him. Kneeling together in prayer, the bereaved father forgave Uita for killing his daughter Taore. Taore’s taonga brought peace and freedom to countless others too.

THE AGE OF REASON
Now for something completely different…
Cycleway almost done
By Peter Carr
Phew – that was close! With an unregulated Covid defence border just 4km up the main highway it appears Waipā residents dodged a bullet. Interesting that with a multiplicity of road accesses to the city it is not possible to control the border tightly. The police have done a superb job at the fringes of Auckland, but it shows that, once the net is spread wider, then gaps appear in the defence. Clearly what is needed is ‘something different’ which is set to be revealed three days prior to the News readers scanning these primitive words. Everyone is heartily sick of the time and space that the media is giving to the virus activities. I appreciate that the media is there to inform but watching TV interviewers persisting to hammer politicians when they are fully aware that nothing will be revealed until at least 1pm does not make for good journalism. It is one thing to be seen to research by asking questions. It is entirely something else when cheap points-scoring clutters up the eyes and minds of the readers and viewers. That should get me a rebuke from our lovely Editor! So, living in the aftermath of the first All Black defeat for many months, the nation lurches into mourning. That the game was always going to be close was never a secret. Thirty fine young sportsmen, finely trained, fit to their physical limits pushing and kicking on the (Covid-safe?) turf of Queensland was a spectre for the sports-mad nation that wanted relief from virus matters. All we need now is for the netballers to get back to a level that we know they can achieve, and the nation will give
a sigh of relief. It is interesting to read the sports sections of the main newspapers and to appreciate just what the different codes mean to a huge number of people. And to perceive that we have a plethora of sports and events facilities - some of which will never pay their way. A bit like the large money-draining events edifice that is in Hamilton. It was launched by a desperate (then) council with almost $70 million of borrowed money. Not a sniff of any up-front equity and, when digging deep – and you can – the overall financial aspects of the building are hardly satisfying. That said there is always the argument that ‘build and they will come’ which is a standard vision for most elected local bodies. After all they are there to seek and guarantee visitors who will also lie on the hotel beds and eat in the restaurants. Being captive at a council table is sometimes not a sinecure but, if there is ever an Achilles heel, it is the multiplicity of councils all driven by the same (but opposing) desires. And not easy for the Chief Executives of those councils who must weather, live with and measure, some of the sad utterings that are thrust upon them by elected representatives. But I am impressed with Waipa DC’s public open attitude in the electronic media. At least residents can see, hear and measure what is happening. Hopefully it will go some way to appease them regarding the quantum of rates they are being made to pay.
The Grey Street cul-de-sac and cycleway with new solar-powered lamp posts.
Cambridge’s first two-way cycleway on Hamilton Road is nearly complete. The two cul-de-sacs at Hall and Grey Streets are now finished, cycleway lanes clearly marked, water taps installed and a new bus bay completed. Vigilant residents would
have seen solar-powered lamp posts go up which will light the way for pedestrians and cycleway users. The Paynes Park section in front of Cambridge Resthaven is now open and preparation underway for the section to connect cyclists and pedestrians with
new facilities adjoining Kelly Road Motel. It is the first in a network of cycleways in Cambridge and across the district to make it safer and easier for residents to get to key destinations using alternative modes of transport.

Positive results from facilities By Mary Anne Gill
Attendance at Waipā’s two community facilities in Te Awamutu and Cambridge is up 30.5 per cent, or nearly 60,000 more visitors, over the previous year. The financial year, which ended on June 30, was described by the facilities’ operators as the most “challenging” ever. Waipā Community Facilities Trust runs the operations of the Te Awamutu Events Centre under a 2018 service agreement with Waipā District Council. The centre includes the Livingstone Aquatic Centre, the ASB Stadium and the Club Waipā gymnasium. The trust added the Cambridge Perry Aquatic Centre to its stable in May. Visitor numbers to the swimming pools, despite closures due to Covid-19, were up 20.8 per cent or
nearly 24,500 people. Chief executive Matt Horne told the council’s Strategic Planning and Policy committee it was the stadium which bore the brunt of restrictions. “Regular bookings, competitions and events were postponed or cancelled as restrictions prevented these from operating safely.” The 28,592 visitors were up on the previous year but 9000 visitors down on 20182019. While Club Waipā membership was up from 780 to 906, actual income was down by $67,288, or a third, as the trust put membership on hold. It was early days for the Cambridge Aquatic Centre with only six weeks’ operation. But 16,640 people used the pool and numbers continue to hold up well despite the recent second lockdown. The trust’s star is Swim

Waipā which offers a wide range of swim programmes for all ages and abilities. Total membership is 1527 comprising 572 in Cambridge and 955 in Te Awamutu. Pool water quality and temperatures were within or slightly higher than recommended ranges while
compliments were up and complaints down. The trust’s deficit for the year was $867,864 made up of $3.115 million in revenue and $3.38 million expenditure. Council’s funding contribution was $2.124 million with another $82,760 towards capital renewal.
Athletes' welcome I’ve bought a banger… cancelled
The welcome home plans for Waipā Olympic and Paralympic representatives are off. Waipā was well represented at the Games in Tokyo and the athletes included Paralympics swimmer Nikita Howarth and cyclists Anna Taylor and Eltje Malzbender. A ‘Welcome Home’ event has been staged after every games series since the early 2000s but have become another Covid causality, “Time is not on our side this year,” Mayor Jim Mylchreest said. “Planning stages were pushed out with athletes having to quarantine following travel, so Council considered joining an event with the existing Great Summer Kiwi Expo. “After the latest lockdown in August, we are still grappling with the restrictions and are in a place of uncertainty around public gatherings as we head into October. We now have scheduling challenges as athletes begin to head back into competitions and training camps, so the tough call has been made not to host an event this time.” He said the effort, sacrifice and challenges Waipā athletes and their teams have faced this year was appreciated. “We know our communities were proud of their efforts during the games too.” Mylchreest said. Another event on hold as a result of Covid restrictions is citizenship ceremonies.
If you buy a car from a dealer for personal use, then it will be covered by the Consumer Guarantees Act. This means that you should expect the car to be of acceptable quality and fit for purpose. What acceptable quality is will depend on the age and price of the car, for example you would not expect a three year old car bought for $15,000 to fail a warrant with an electrical fault, whereas this might not be surprising for a 15 year old car bought for $2500. The dealer must disclose any faults that they are aware of when they sell the car and these should be listed on the “Consumer Information Notice”. If the fault is minor and disclosed to you before the sale, you can’t make the trader responsible for fixing it. If you discover the car is faulty or develops a fault, then you should first talk to the dealer and explain that you expect them to remedy the fault, as required under the Consumer Guarantees Act. If they don’t agree, put your
complaint in writing to them and include any supporting documentation. If the dealer still won’t agree to remedy the problem you can check whether they are a member of the Motor Trade Association and if so, you can use their free mediation service. If the mediation is unsuccessful or not possible then you can make a claim to either the Motor Vehicle Disputes Tribunal or the Disputes Tribunal.

OBITUARY – GORDON GRIGG
Gordon gave life a nudge By Viv Posselt
At his 60th birthday party, Gordon Grigg raised a glass to a life he described as a tapestry… vibrant with colour, sometimes stormy, filled with contentment, a loving family and lots of mirth and merriment. He thanked guests on that occasion for helping make up his tapestry, urging them to “go and give life a good nudge”. And so it was that when he passed away at home on September 17, he had given life the best nudge he could. Gordon wanted to stick around a little longer, said his wife Evon, but to the end he made sure he squeezed every possible joy from 81 well-lived years. “There was always laughter and a little bit of fun going on all the time. We were together for 36 years. Oh, how we would laugh… I was so blessed. He was a man who made friends with everyone he met. That was just who he was,” she smiled. Gordon was best known locally for his shops, Gordon’s Antiques. The first was opened in 1969 in Hamilton’s Grey
St and then another in Thackeray St. After moving here in 1987, Gordon and Evon opened the first Cambridge shop in Empire St. The Commerce St shop was his largest and best remembered, overflowing with old treasures. It was there, often accompanied by Evon, Sally the bulldog or Toby the parrot, that his smiling face was woven into the fabric of Cambridge life. He loved re-homing family objects that spanned the generations and reflected passing history. He thrived at antique fairs enriched by fine wine, the banter of antique dealers and the opportunity to meet people from all walks of life. The stories around objects delighted him; he loved little more than browsing antique stores wherever he found them. Gordon wasn’t always into antiques. The Hamilton-born lad was a dapper dresser who sold quality menswear and made a good fist as an insurance agent before he opened his first antiques shop in 1969. It became a passion, and the die was cast for a successful pairing when he met Evon, who was designing costumes for the
Hamilton Operatic Society when he asked her out with his characteristic élan, saying ‘I am persona non grata around here… can I take you to lunch?’. Gordon’s son Andrew has taken on his dad’s legacy and runs Cordy’s Fine Art and Antique Auctioneers and Appraisers in Auckland. He said: “Gordon took a great interest in my career, he attended as many auctions as possible. He loved to wheel and deal, liked a bit of flash, liked nice cars and some of the finer things in life, and while his fun nature was a strong trait, he also had a stroppy side. Evon has been the most wonderful companion to dad for half his life. I am so lucky he met her.” His eight decades encompassed so much. Gordon taught Sunday School and ran a youth club, got involved with pony clubs and Kiwanis, Waikato and New Zealand science fairs, boating and hunt clubs. He filled his life with humour and passion, fine wines, music and song, leaving a fistful of memories that endeared him to everyone who met him.

15 Years and counting for Rachael By Viv Posselt
Forty years living here and 15 years working at Cambridge i-Site has secured Rachael Colgan’s position as one of the town’s most enthusiastic advocates. Last year, she was dubbed a ‘walking encyclopaedia’ by Destination Cambridge’s CEO Miff Macdiarmid, and Miff’s predecessor Roger Gordon is known to call Rachael ‘the oracle’. Her 15th anniversary with the organisation was celebrated recently at the back of the Cambridge Hall, a place that is almost Rachael’s second home. She loves the building for personal and professional reasons. Her wedding reception was there in 1988, and it was central to one of the highlights of her career – the 2014 visit here by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. Rachel knows each of the 112-year-old hall’s nooks and crannies, and even as she hopes for an exciting new future for the building, she busies herself with meeting today’s needs. “We do the management of the hall, and book all the events … it’s still pretty well used. I’d like to see it brought up to date and used even more by the community,” she said. Rotorua-born and educated in
Auckland, Rachael moved to Cambridge with her family as a young woman. She had been working with the post office at St Heliers and got a transfer to the Cambridge post office. Later, she took time out to have her own family before applying for a job-share position at what is now Cambridge i-Site. “I liked the idea of going back into customer service … and I wanted some work/life balance, so it suited me well.” That work/life balance includes travelling around the country with husband Joe, usually to spots well off the beaten track, and fitting in as much swimming as she can. Things have changed a fair bit during Rachael’s 15-year tenure. She has worked with five managers – Jenny Wilson, Maree Kaati, Rebecca Foy, Roger Gordon, and now Miff Macdiarmid. They have learned to be ‘nimble’, running ‘pop-up’ information tables at various events and tackling the onslaught of technology head-on. Where contact and bookings were once done face-to-face, much of the job has moved online. “Time, and of course Covid, has made a huge difference. We once had a pretty even 30/30/30 split with local, domestic and international enquiries. It’s currently

only local, and when we’ve had to close the office due to lockdowns, we simply moved online,” she said. The expansion of retail at i-Site has happened on Rachael’s watch. The annual Christmas Parade has grown like topsy and numerous other tours and events introduced, such as the Hobbiton bus tours and Culinary Cambridge. The job is as changeable as the times. “I love it … the variety of people you end up meeting, never knowing what the next thing is. That what makes it so good, as far as I’m concerned,” said Rachael.

Waipā home for Waikato rugby
The Waikato Rugby Union produced a weekend sidestep their teams would have been proud of. Given 11th hour notice of the move to Level 3, the union’s men’s and women’s team were moved – to Waipā. Accommodation at the Podium in Cambridge kept both teams in a Level 2 environment. It also enables the team to get to Hamilton Airport - because the airport is also in Waipā. The women play Canterbury in their premiership final in Christchurch this weekend – the men have a bye. Chief executive Carl Moon revealed there was some behind the scenes work. “We were really pleased with how we came together with New Zealand Rugby to

work out how we could do this within the rules in such a short period of time,” he said. “NZR provided some really strong guidance and collectively we’ve been able to come up with a plan that is compliant and safe. Hopefully we get to see it through in very uncertain times. Moon was “super proud” of how the union leaders rallied on Sunday to bring the squads together and put the plan into action. “Our people have once again stood up in times of adversity, made personal sacrifices for the good of the game and their team mates and families, and just got on with it. We are very blessed with the calibre of people we have right across our environment.

Yacht club gear sails away
By Blair Voorend
Thieves have attempted to scupper the holiday sailing programme on Lake Ngaroto. Waikato Thames Yachting – Youth Development chair Gordon Wallis said 15 Rooster branded wetsuits and a quantity of life jackets were stolen from a gear trailer. He said that it was devastating to have equipment stolen – and to
compound matters, there is no money to replace the gear. “A plea is out there - donations of surplus wetsuits would be really appreciated,” he said. “We have had one kind person donate a wetsuit to us so far with the hope of more.” Rooster is a distinct brand and is marketed through yachting circles. They are not available through retail outlet so
Wallis says if the brand is sighted and not on a yachtie there will be a fair chance it will be one of the stolen one. News of the theft has been spread on social media. “Sometimes I wonder what kind of idiots we have in our area,” Suzanne Nichols wrote. “Hours and hours of time and money is put into helping young kids learn how to sail and get out there and have fun. We have got students booked in for
Waikato Thames Yachting has introduced thousands of youngsters to sailing.
lessons and not all parents can afford these items.” The Ngaroto Sailing Club enjoyed a great open day on September 25 ahead of a three-day holiday programme.
The holiday programme is seen as a great opportunity for children and Wallis said across the region it involved 2000 children last season. The Ngaroto club works with Waikato
Thames Yachting and their professional coach Kirsten Moratz to encourage youngsters into the sport. Places are still available. For more information go to www.sailwaikato.com.
Netball team wins… Nine premier netball teams from around the country were on site at St Peter’s over the weekend playing in the annual Invitational Tournament. The St Peter’s girls played some outstanding netball, finishing the weekend on top with five wins from five before the Covid announcement for Hamilton resulted in the final day of play being cancelled. Teams from Southland, Wellington, Taranaki, Manawatu and Bay of Plenty
produced some fantastic games with plenty of skill and excitement. The tournament was run under strict Level 2 protocols so no spectators, and with the St Peter’s AV department live streamed from the two courts in use. The tournament was an ideal finish to a season which saw some major tournaments, including the New Zealand Secondary School Championships being cancelled this year.

RESPONSIBLE working couple with well-trained dog require accommodation within this region. All things considered. To speak with Karl Ph 027 909 9808 AH The Future Proof Strategy is a 30 year growth management and implementation plan for the Hamilton, Waipa and Waikato sub-region. The Strategy is essential to managing growth in a staged and co-ordinated way while addressing complex planning issues. An updated Future Proof Strategy has been developed and is now open for public comment. The updated Strategy retains the core elements of the 2009 and 2017 Strategy but also incorporates the Hamilton to Auckland (H2A) Corridor Plan and the Hamilton-Waikato Metropolitan Spatial Plan. It also factors in key national documents and initiatives such as the National Policy Statement on Urban Development (NPS-UD) and the Government’s Urban Growth Agenda. The Strategy incorporates seven transformational moves for change: • Iwi aspirations: enhancing the health and wellbeing of the Waikato River in accordance with Te Ture Whaimana, the Vision and Strategy, and iwi placebased aspirations. • Putting the Waikato River at the heart of planning. • A radical transport shift to a multi-modal transport network shaped around where and how communities will grow. • A vibrant metro core and lively metropolitan centres. • A strong and productive economic corridor at the heart of the metro area. • Thriving communities and neighbourhoods including quality, denser housing options that allow natural and built environments to co-exist and increase housing affordability and choice. • Growing and fostering water-wise communities through a radical shift in urban water planning, ensuring urban water management is sensitive to natural hydrological and ecological processes. Future Proof partners are now seeking feedback on the updated Strategy. To read the Strategy and make a submission, please go to futureproof.org.nz Submissions close at 5pm on Friday 12 November 2021. Future Proof partners include Waikato District Council, Waipa District Council, Hamilton City Council, Waikato Regional Council, tangata whenua, central government partners and Tamaki Makaurau partners (iwi and Auckland Council).
