Chops for a chopper

By Steph Bell-Jenkins

Tommy Peters has raised more than $7000 to thank the Waikato Westpac Rescue Helicopter service for saving his mother Anne, who suffered horrific injuries in a horse riding accident six months ago.

“I’m really grateful because if it wasn’t for them I might not have a mum,” the 10-year-old said.

Tommy had been growing his hair since Anne’s accident and collaborated with her on the idea of chopping his locks into a series of awful and outlandish styles to raise money for the rescue helicopter.

He made a short video clip and launched his “chop for the chopper” campaign on Anne’s Facebook page at the end of September.

Since then, his mum’s been his personal stylist, hacking and coercing his once flowing mane into a bowl cut, a mullet, a permed mullet and a multicoloured mohawk.

“The mohawk’s been my favourite so far,” said Tommy, who has developed a taste for flamboyant hairstyles, even if they have made him look like a “munter”.

“I’m not even a little bit keen on a regular haircut after this. The whole thing’s been so much fun.”

The Kaipaki School student was hoping to raise $2000 and was “amazed” to more than triple his target.

“I’m really grateful to everyone who’s donated,” he said. “This has shown me that anyone can make a difference no matter how big or small they are.”

Anne said she and her husband Ben were proud of their son and “eternally grateful” to the rescue helicopter service and everyone who had helped at the scene of her accident on April 17.

She had been riding in an equestrian hunt near Matamata when her horse flipped over a fence, threw her headfirst onto the ground and landed on top of her.

Riding just ahead of her were two friends, Kim Timms and registered nurse Carla Fraser, who had taught CPR together The horror of having to resuscitate Anne, who had gone into cardiac arrest and was suffering a brain bleed, is still raw for Carla, who fought desperately to save her friend’s life until fire fighters arrived.

“She was knocked out on impact and just becoming

conscious as we got to her but after about 20 minutes she stopped breathing so we started CPR,” Carla said.

“She’d come around and we’d get her breathing again, but not for very long. She was really trying, but her body just couldn’t do it. I was feeling pretty desperate by the time the fire fighters pulled up.”

The relief of hearing the rescue helicopter approaching was “indescribable… just that noise was... oh, hallelujah.”

Anne was flown to Waikato Hospital and later transferred to a specialist brain unit in Auckland, where she spent six weeks.

Since then she’s been back at home working hard on her recovery.

“I had a brain bleed that was like a stroke, so the lefthand side of my body didn’t work and I had to learn to walk and talk properly again,” she said. “But I’ve got my driver’s licence back and hopefully I’ll be able to start working restricted hours. I’ve come a long way.”

Anne said her family and friends and the healthcare system had been phenomenal.

“The whole experience has been humbling,” she said. “We’ve been wrapped in a giant hug for the past six months. It’s been an amazing journey. It’s not one you want to take, but I’m lucky there’s a happy ending.”

Anyone wanting to donate to Tommy’s “chop for the chopper” campaign can email anniebenji@ hotmail.com.

“The rescue helicopter relies on the support of community funding so please donate to this amazing and vital service so it can keep saving lives,” Anne said.

made them overly sensitive. They need to get a grip especially as there is so much more going on in this world to be truly offended about. As a sprightly 70-yearold who exercises regularly, the international image shown looks like me when I am power walking and I am not in the least offended by it or the word “Aged” below.

That said, does anyone actually pay attention to such signs (particularly motorists)? In my experience they do not. They ignore these as they do every other road sign so whether such signs are in place or not will make no difference to anyone.

Kelvin Dunn Leamington

The controversial sign.

Remove it

I agree, these signs are offensive and serve no useful purpose. As reportedly commented by the Queen this week, you are only as old as you feel. Some people are slow moving at any age. Let’s remove discriminatory language.

Alison Vince Cambridge

Get a grip

Those who think the “Aged” signs are offensive are clearly stir crazy due to lockdown which has

I have just read the article in the Cambridge News over the controversy over the Aged pedestrian sign. The sign is there to get a response from those who see it – and in that regard I believe the sign did its job – instant recognition. As a 75-year-old, I have no problem with what we had as the sign was there to assist the aged. Now it simply looks like a pedestrian warning sign – not what was intended. We seem to get very precious over the smallest thing – and the shame is authorities seem to pander to the few who complain.

Alan Sherris Cambridge

Walk on

I like to think that I am aged, like fine wine. All right, I’m kidding myself. No worries. I’m 82, and vaccinated. As for the picture of the walking figure on the sign, I’ve always taken it to mean a pedestrian hurrying to a destination.

David Phillipps Cambridge.

Covid issue

I find it both perplexing and disgusting that the article last week about a young woman’s views on other people having a difference of opinion to her, is considered to be worthy of the front cover of our weekly newspaper.

The article mentions her having recovered from an injury and states the names of her parents which makes for a lovely story, but this content is irrelevant. The main point conveyed was her lack of willingness to allow others to think differently from her. She says she doesn’t understand people who have chosen not to get the Covid vaccine and that her only unvaccinated friend isn’t likely to be her friend much longer.

Why is this news? Are we promoting not allowing others to have different opinions, thoughts and wishes than us?

I am very disappointed in the Cambridge News team for thinking this horrific attitude and the encouragement of a hate mentality is what we want in our newspaper.

Halloween with a twist

Residents at Ultimate Care Cambridge Oakdale will be awash with hobgoblins this weekend as the facility marks a more unusual Halloween. Facility manager Katie Payne said staff and residents had been able to enjoy a ‘trick or treat’ Halloween visit last year involving some 200 youngsters, but current Covid levels will make for a different celebration this year. Halloween 2021 will feature a creative display of cobwebs, pumpkins, witches and protocol-observing ghosts wearing masks. Pictured securing the mask to their friendly ghost is the facility’s administrator, Patricia Stannard.

The burglars are still about

I want to start with another big thank you to everyone who has been doing what we need to do to meet level 3 lock down rules. It is a stressful time for all, and your efforts don’t go unnoticed. Policing under Covid-19 lockdown levels is obviously also different to normal and your cooperation and understanding enables us to put our attention where it is most needed.

Remember that everyone responds differently to anxiety and stress, so a moment of kindness can go a long way.

Regardless of lockdown levels, there remain those who continue to commit crime even when most of us are home a lot more than normal. We have had a couple of burglaries and theft from cars this past week that prompt a reminder to keep your car and house doors and windows closed.

If you want to give pets access to the house

overnight, consider a cat/dog door rather than leaving a window or door partially open, or close up the house and provide a litter tray.

If your car is parked in the driveway, ensure the alarm is on, the doors are locked, and all valuables are out of sight. Remember that opportunists look for the easy target and commodity items. If we remove the opportunity, we go some way to reducing crime.

On another note, I have seen a post being shared on social media giving a tip on what to do should you find yourself lost when tramping or broken down on the side of the road and your mobile phone is going flat.

The post tells you to change your voicemail to give the date and time, your location and a summary of the situation.

will be heard by anyone ringing in, possibly enabling help to be arranged.

While this is a good idea, it is more important, especially when planning a tramp or boating expedition, to proactively tell people - in advance of leaving- where it is you are going and your intended return time. This enables them to raise the alert early, if you do not return home on-time. The sooner emergency services are aware, the sooner we can find you. Equally mentioned in a previous column, buying or hiring a Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) can literally save your life, by alerting emergency services to your location and need for help when activated. Better safe than sorry!

Have a good week, Deb PROUDLY SUPPORTING

Briefs…

Lockdown three remains Waipā will remain in level three lockdown, Covid response minister Chris Hipkins announced yesterday. The restrictions were eased very slightly today and results of a further review will be announced on Monday.

Mayor hospitalised Waipā mayor Jim Mylchreest had a 24-hour stint in Waikato Hospital on an antibiotic drip last week when his chest infection worsened.

Mylchreest said yesterday he had a high fever which settled down once he got on the antibiotics.

Christmas parade cancelled Cambridge’s annual Christmas parade, due to be held on December 5, has been cancelled. Organisers are looking at other ways residents can celebrate in town including use of mini floats and Christmas lights, committee member Mike Pettit said.

Booked out Book lovers must wait until May for Cambridge Rotary’s popular Bookarama after a second blow from Covid.

“With the Rotary Garden Festival in November needing all of the club’s support and the Town Hall being used by the ladies of the Christmas Festival in December we were hoping for a date early next year,” organiser Ray Milner said.

“This wasn’t possible, and the first available suitable opportunity is in May. So, we are back where we started two years ago.

Science success Waipā student Jordan Hazlehurst has starred at the Waikato Niwa Science Fair. Jordan collected the awards for best senior science award and best senior science project as well as a New Zealand Statistical Association Special Award and a Niwa work experience scholarship. Jordan’s school, St Peter’s, announced the success.

Covid news held back

Mayors rebel against orchestrated releases

By Mary Anne Gill

A Waipā district councillor says she and other councillors were told to keep quiet for more than a day when Covid was detected in Te Awamutu’s wastewater so health authorities could put a communications package together.

Hazel Barnes of Kihikihi said she was so scared she did not step outside her gate for fear she might come across the “poor people” who were carrying Covid.

Her admission comes after Ōtorohanga mayor Max Baxter said he broke ranks over the weekend and released details of two cases in the district because his community needed to know.

Barnes says she wishes now she had done the same thing. “We were asked not to speak about it, so I didn’t for nearly 48 hours.”

She criticised the poor relationship between the council and Waikato District Health Board (DHB) which should have reached out to district councils a lot earlier in the pandemic.

“We know our communities.

People have a right to know.

You’ve got to be honest and open about it.”

The DHB reported yesterday there were 35 cases in Te Awamutu/ Kihikihi, two in Ōtorohanga and three in Cambridge/Karāpiro.

Waipā continued to lead the way in the Waikato with first vaccination rates of 89.3 per cent and 71.8 per cent fully vaccinated.

For Waipā to get out of lockdown, and into orange, the Waikato DHB region of 435,690 people over 21,000 square kilometres, and every one of the other 19 DHBS, have to be 90 per cent vaccinated by the end of November.

Baxter also highlighted issues with the dissemination of information about the pandemic. Without his intervention on Sunday, the community would have waited until the Ministry of Health’s 1pm stand up on Monday, he said.

Baxter said he was being told there were cases linked to the Te Awamutu

Waipā District Council and Federated Farmers have reacted angrily to the government’s decision to take away its water assets in favour of four new mega entities.

Local Government minister Nanaia Mahuta made the announcement yesterday that its Three Waters reforms – drinking, waste, and storm water – would go ahead.

Under the plan, four publiclyowned multi-regional entities will take on responsibility for the country’s water infrastructure – a role now carried out by 67 local authorities.

Waipā mayor Jim Mylchreest said councils had acted in good faith, but

cluster an hour after the ministry’s stand up.

“I had to do a lot more digging myself. They were talking about opening a testing centre in town.”

He rang Waikato District Health Board chief executive Kevin Snee and one of his colleagues confirmed the cases.

It was Baxter and not the DHB which first reported there were two positive results in Ōtorohanga.

Waipā mayor Jim Mylchreest suggested Waikato DHB was keeping his community in the dark.

“We weren’t getting any updates other than the daily ones the media were getting.”

The tip off about a Covid case in Cambridge

earlier this month came via Civil Defence and not the DHB, he said. It was a similar case with reports of Covid in Te Awamutu’s wastewater.

The government’s decision not to make the latest Covid outbreaks a national emergency meant it was being run by the Ministry of Health and district health boards without community involvement.

“Local government knows their communities,” he said.

The timing of releases about Covid have not been entirely user-friendly.”

The Waikato DHB acknowledged a series of questions from the News over communications issues but had not provided answers at press time.

Anger at Three Waters call

By Mary Anne Gill

CAMBRIDGE NEWS | 3

the government had now removed communities’ rights to have a voice on the future of water entities.

He called on Local Government New Zealand to consider any legal avenues available, particularly whether the government was constitutionally allowed to make the decision it did.

“I don’t think the (Waipā) community is ready to accept this and they would expect us to fight.”

Waipā councillor Susan O’Regan, who represents a rural ward and been a vocal opponent around the council table, said she was “furious” at the decision.

“It is unacceptable that the minister has refused to listen to the overwhelming opposition expressed not only by councils the length of the country but from its

citizens.

“Mandating these reforms in the face of this almost unanimous opposition clearly sends the message this government is focused on fulfilling its ideological agenda rather than consider the views of its citizens,” she said.

“It is clearly an audacious move in an unpopular week for this government.”

Federated Farmers president Andrew Hoggard urged rural residents to “gear up” to have their say.

New Zealanders have voiced serious misgivings over the government’s plans, he said.

"We remain opposed to this plan.

The government’s announcement today that this will be mandatory is a huge call."

Ōtorohanga Mayor Max Bradford deserves high praise for breaking a Covid mould.

Since the arrival of Covid, the Government, health boards and local bodies have staged managed information releases where and when they want.

Mayor Bradford exposed that nonsense on Sunday when he released news about two cases in Ōtorohanga rather than wait 23 hours for the Government to do so at its 1pm media stand up.

Now Waipā councillor Hazel Barnes says she was told to keep quiet about Covid information.

Health boards are struggling to reach their vaccinations targets. We wonder if they have asked themselves how many of those unvaccinated people are not living in the digital world – and rely on genuine community newspapers.

It is a point not lost on Cr Barnes, who said many people she knew relied on their community newspaper for news.

Take Super Saturday publicity.

It was so staged for digital and television that community newspapers like your News – one of more than 80 in the country - could not provide readers with something as basic as a list of vaccination points.

The information was rolled out on the eve of the big day.

When a case was discovered in Karāpiro earlier this month and news spread through the Waipā community, it was the News which broke the story.

The official announcement was being held back for TV audiences at 1pm.

For health boards to hit targets, they must change their media approach and acknowledge the importance of, rather than shun, community newspapers.

Our message to health boards, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and Covid Minister Chris Hipkins is simple – tell your communications people to communicate, not orchestrate. This is a pandemic, it’s not time for publicity stunts.

ON THE FRONT LINE

Life of a vaccinator

By Mary Anne Gill

A Waipā nurse vaccinator on Covid’s front line says she’s convinced mobile vans going into Waikato’s far flung rural areas is the answer to reaching the 90 per cent fully vaccinated target.

Michelle Edge who works for Waikato District Health Board (DHB) says she’s had people in remote places getting their vaccinations and then thanking the team.

“They’ve said to me: ‘Thank you so much for coming to our community. We didn’t think anyone was going to come and see us. People said they were feeling forgotten,” says Edge, a nurse since 1994.

“It reminds you the Waikato region is massively rural. You can’t underestimate the mobiles because of those small pockets.”

Edge has visited places in the Waikato she had never been before.

This week she was in Māpiu, Waimiha, Ohura and Kakahi.

In previous weeks she has been vaccinating in Awakino, Te Akau, Piopio, Kawhia and Tahāroa.

“We work in tandem with our kaimanaaki and we’ve formed a bond as a cohesive team,” she says.

Kaimanaaki are the navigators of Manaakitanga (People at Heart), Waikato DHB’s Māori strategy.

Their role is to uphold the values of Manaakitanga and ensure that

each person is cared for during their vaccination experience.

Waikato DHB has a population of than 435,690 and covers more than 21,000 square kilometres from northern Coromandel to Mt Ruapehu, west to Raglan to Waihi on the east. Nearly a quarter of the population are Māori, the largest number of any DHB in the country.

“When we went out to Tahāroa, they all queued up for their vaccinations because they knew ‘no jab, no mahi’. When we go back, they’ll queue up for their second jabs too,” she said.

Edge, a former emergency department nurse, started last year at the Managed Isolation and Quarantine (MIQ) facility in Te Rapa, Hamilton.

There she saw all sorts of issues.

“We had people who’d had anxiety issues in the past and they came back. It tests your mental health skills, but it also sharpens your communication skills, particularly visual.

“Sometimes you might look at them and the first few days they are quite chatty and then they go very quiet.”

Another time she helped a woman completing assignments while in MIQ but getting increasingly concerned about her papers while talking to friends.

Others were lonely, missing family and worrying.

“You try and trouble shoot, do

things like say: ‘Want to go for a walk?’”

“Fourteen days is a long time.

You realise how social we are.

You knew the ones that wanted to natter, you took the time with them.”

Others handled it fine, like the lady who did scrapbooking. She had a mobile printer and worked on her Christmas calendars and reflected on the fact she was having French toast for breakfast every day.

Edge started as a vaccinator in June; her first stint was at Te Rapa Racecourse where older people queued up, arms at the ready for their vaccinations.

“They just said to me: ‘off you go, give it to me’.”

There have been others who were not so sure.

“We were at one of the rural sites recently. This guy’s mind was full of information and he wanted all the answers. One of the nurses must have spent 30-40 minutes with him. He got vaccinated and he was heading back to tell all his mates about it,” she said.

While some trips might not seem worthwhile, Edge argues otherwise.

“We got eight people when we first went to Awakino and the population is 50 so that’s 15 per cent of the population.

“It’s eight more than we had and those eight are going to talk to

someone else and so it goes.”

“When we go back, you can bet there will be more.”

In another area some said they were rural, so the vaccination did not matter.

“They said ‘we hardly come into town, it’s (Covid) not going to bother us’, but it just takes one meeting to get Covid.”

Home in Leamington, Cambridge is her refuge after days spent decked out in full protective gear and hours on the road.

“I do my garden, I plough through the work in there, I cook and I’ve got two new dogs who keep me on my toes.”

Does she ever worry about getting Covid herself?

“I wear my mask; I wash my hands. If I got it, I’m double vaccinated, my symptoms will be less. I don’t envisage taking up an ICU bed, I don’t think I’ll even need hospital. I will just go into my own bubble.”

Ollie’s chipper despite delays hike down the length of New Zealand but while the chips are down, he’s been boosting his public profile

By Steph Bell-Jenkins

Covid-19 has delayed Ollie the cockatiel’s epic

by downing chips.

The plucky 20-monthold Cambridge bird, who featured in Cambridge News

We’re all flush here

New Zealand’s milk flush – when cows produce and dairy factories process more milk than any other day of the year – is sometime this week.

Waipā’s two Fonterra dairy factories in Cambridge at Hautapu and in Te Awamutu, will produce nearly 10 per cent of the 80 million litres of milk flush.

Hautapu processes up to 4.2 million litres of milk every day, third behind Lichfield and Te Rapa, while Te Awamutu processes three million litres a day.

During peak milking season in the Waikato, Fonterra has the capacity to process

over 25 million litres of New Zealand milk every day from its six factories.

This is the third season the dairy cooperative has been impacted by Covid-19.

Te Awamutu operations manager Russell Muir said his factory played a crucial part of the processing footprint of Fonterra.

“We recognise our obligations to our customers, shareholders and team mates to keep processing,” he said.

At alert level 3 Fonterra’s employees at sites are working in shift bubbles, with full PPE, 2 metre distancing, temperature testing upon arrival on site and frequent sanitisation.

All sites in the North Island are working under these precautions.

“The great thing about working on a site like Te Awamutu is the community connection, we are right in the middle of town and many of our team are from here.

“There are constant examples of people going above and beyond for each other to keep the plant going and the milk moving.

I’m really proud of the effort we see every day,” said Muir.

Fonterra’s Te Awamutu site was established in 1889 and employs more than 290 people. In September 2020, the site transitioned away from coal to be powered solely on wood pellets.

The Hautapu site was established in 1886 and has been a leader in dairy manufacturing for more than 120 years. It has a total of eight plants and employs more than 300 people.

Melina Blevans gearing up at Hautapu to process the biggest milk supply of the year.

on August 5, had a brutal start to life when his father attacked him in the nest, leaving him close to death.

However, he made a miraculous recovery thanks to Robyn Chappell from Bird Rescue Cambridge. His body was left permanently twisted out of shape and his leg still faces the wrong way, but he can hop around on his good leg, fly short distances and talk.

Robyn had been planning to begin a 3000km walk with Ollie from Cape Reinga to Bluff along Te Araroa walking trail in September, but Covid lockdowns clipped their wings.

Since then, Robyn’s been itching for Auckland to move to Alert Level 2 so the pair can begin their six-month mission to raise money for the Te Araroa Trust.

“With the latest lockdowns in Hamilton we’re weighing up our options in regard to an alternative start point,” she said.

In the meantime, Ollie has accrued more than 500 followers on his Facebook page and has become a pin up boy for Kihi’s kiwifruit chips.

“Kihi’s Pet Chips saw Ollie’s Facebook page and sent a couple of bags to him

to try,” Robyn said.

“They are a new business, they love animals, their kids are involved, and they have cockatiels themselves. They decided to advertise on the New Zealand business page Chooice, which must have been running a bit of a competition for some free advertising on a billboard.

They submitted a photo I took of Ollie enjoying the kiwifruit chips and a gorgeous letter from their kids, and Ollie’s smiling face is now beaming out from a billboard in Parnell, Auckland.”

While making his modelling debut Ollie has “had a flapping good time keeping his bulging fan base of followers and supporters entertained by his fundraising antics”.

“He’ll do almost anything for a donation to his Givealittle page,” Robyn said. “This has included the sharing of a message and photo from Her Royal Highnest of Duckingham Palace, who offered her royal support of his upcoming Te Araroa journey.”

A hoot for bird lovers (and perhaps anyone with a sense of humour), Ollie’s Facebook page has been featuring regular updates on Ollie and Robyn’s trip preparations,

which haven’t always gone smoothly.

“Tent pitching practice has resulted in a definite need for lots more tent pitching practice,” Robyn said.

“At one point I decided I’d rather sleep under a tree with a $5 rain poncho draped over my head. And I spent four hours packing and repacking our backpack the other day, trying to get our supplies down to a manageable weight.”

While the Covid delay had been frustrating for Robyn, she said it had been water off a duck’s back to Ollie.

Jumble team is on the money

By Viv Posselt

Cambridge’s charity organisation Jumble Around has recorded one of its most successful years ever and has distributed over $154,000 to mostly local non-profit groups and organisations.

The Leamington-based outlet runs its annual funding round to midSeptember, after which Jumble Around committee members consider all applications sent to them.

This year they have distributed funds to almost 90 non-profit groups and organisations.

Most are in Cambridge, said Jumble Around president Marianne Jarvie.

Where funds are given to regional groups, the amount reflects as closely as possible the level of that group’s activity in Cambridge.

“We are so proud of our achievement. This round of funding has been our most successful to date,”

said Marianne. “We want to thank the community for supporting us with their donations of items to sell.

Without them, we could not have had such a successful year.”

Jumble Around raises funds through its busy op-shop in Shakespeare St. The outlet is run by volunteers and has put well over $1 million back into the community in the 53 years since it started out as a fundraiser to help build

Jumble Around’s Mary Waters, left, and Marianne Jarvie, outside the Shakespeare St outlet.

Cambridge Resthaven. It regularly supports around 100 non-profit organisations.

Marianne said they are pleased to have raised a record figure over the past year, particularly in the stressful Covid-19 environment. They are mindful, she added, that while lockdown has given many people time to clear out their homes and donate more goods for sale, it has also meant there are more people seeking help than ever before.

“We are reflecting that change,” she said. “We noticed the increased need among those who applied for funding, among them schools and sports clubs who haven’t been able to do their normal fundraising activities. This year we doubled the amount we normally give to Cambridge Community House because of the number of families now needing help through them.”

A list of the recipient groups and organisations is on the op-shop door. Some of the larger donations went to the Cambridge Community House Trust ($10,000) and Cambridge Safer Community Trust ($5000). The sum of $4000 each went to Cambridge

Lifeskills, the Cambridge Community Charitable Trust, Riding for the Disabled and Predator Free Cambridge.

Meanwhile, people keen to drop off goods for sale should call first to arrange a time to safely drop them off,

said Marianne.

“We had piles of stuff left out the back for a while, and it just keeps coming. If people phone me first, I can arrange to be there to take the goods in.”

Marianne’s number is 021 1746 327.

Garden plans

Waipā District Council has plans for the presently uninviting rock garden which greets visitors when they reach the eastern end of Duke Street in Cambridge at the intersection with Albert St and Achilles Ave (pictured above).

The issue was raised on the council’s Facebook page last week with a plea to improve the look of the island.

After a false start, council staff explained it has been flagged as an area of development.

The council says one option is to remove the island completely.

NO PLANET B

FAITH IN WAIPĀ

What will they achieve?

Hope for a secure future…

By Peter Matthews

By Murray Smith, Senior Leader, Bridges Church

A conservationist is someone who seeks to conserve. In the case of the environment, wildlife, ecosystems and so on, a conservationist will attempt to preserve the status quo, even to turn back the clock to reinstate a previous set of circumstances.

This is widely seen to be a good thing to want to do, and of course it is: The human race is sliding rapidly down a slippery slope towards a very uncertain and probably difficult future - unless something can be done.

The imminent Cop26 get together in the UK is the latest and biggest attempt to stop the rot. Of course, some people are already saying it is a waste of time and will be nothing more than a photo opportunity for the world leaders’ Class of 21.

Scott Morrison will probably be the one scowling in the back row; I don’t think he is going to have a very good time of it. I wonder if he will be taking his lump of coal with him. I can almost hear Jimmy Carr saying “Scott, have you brought a mascot?” Apologies for the in joke to those readers who have yet to discover the comedic delights of ‘8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown’.

So, these world leaders are going to convene for a while and then come out and tell the world about the new targets and strategies they will have devised and committed to, towards the salvation of the planet.

Greta will, presumably, then tell them that they have not gone far enough, and she will go on to demand action on a very necessary but completely unachievable scale. The eventual reality, the result of Cop26, will be that most targets will not be met, some by

a long shot. But there will be other conferences and summits, with a gradually revolving roster of leaders and the world will inch, disaster by catastrophe towards whatever future lies in wait for it.

As the planet moves along its trajectory the conservationists will be busy conserving, and the activists will be busy campaigning for change; a slightly ironic notion when I come to think of it: Isn’t change absolutely the norm?

Ever since the Big Bang, around 13.8 billion years ago the universe has been in a constant state of flux; continuous change at varying rates.

The first few billion years were not particularly relevant to humans since Earth only coagulated around 4.5 billion years ago, and we didn’t take the stage until a couple of minutes ago.

During the short time we have been in charge, or so we like to think, we have made quite an impression in our little neck of the woods, and we have recently realised that things are hotting up a bit too quickly. So now we think we are going to have a couple of conferences and take some photos and put everything back on track. Really?

Next time ONLY PLANET there’s a clear night, step outside and look up. Can we honestly claim to be in control?

We have a close connection who often brings a reality check to our family. More than that he challenges our behaviours and attitudes in life without saying anything.

He exhibits steadiness of character, maturity and lack of complexity amongst a bunch of other traits that are actually enviable at times. He never appears stressed, anxious or worried about the future.

He is consistently content…never complains and is always grateful. Perhaps thankfulness is part of the reason his emotional state is even- not all over the place.

We’ve never seen him let his guard down by being moody or grumpy and unpredictable. We haven’t seen him depressed or down in the dumps… probably because he never reads or listens to the incessant carping of our politically biased mainstream media.

It sounds like I’m writing a personal reference here for a superhuman, so to be quite clear I’m not even talking about a human. I’m talking about our two-year-old family pet, a dog who lacks the complexity that so many humans have in their personalities.

As I mentioned, he challenges our attitudes which may seem an odd thing to say but that is the case.

He wakes up every morning excited and optimistic about a new day, wildly welcoming everyone as if they’d been away for weeks, rather than sleeping in bedrooms a few paces from where he sleeps. He’s not demanding but quite clear in his wishes that he would like breakfast soon if that was alright with everyone else.

He is totally and utterly confident in

his life… at peace… everything will be ok.

He eats, sleeps and plays enthusiastically, rattling every preconception that ‘a dog’s life’ is a negative thing.

Before you dismiss my musings as banal nonsense, hear me out. There is a valid metaphor here.

You see, our lives become stressful with anxious thoughts and concerns about the future. Jesus offered an antidote to the cares of this life which centres around having personal relationship with God. Nearness to our Creator introduces a needed perspective… akin dare I say it, to how our dog views his relationship with us. His expectation is that having a ‘Master’ means everything will be taken care of.

Relationship with God as our Heavenly Father offers rich assurance. Jesus’ words express this best.

“I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than clothing?

Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your Heavenly Father feeds them.

And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are? Can all your worries add a single moment to your life? So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.”

Jesus banishes fears that incubate worry.

Being secure in His love displaces fretting about the future, and every consideration regarding life and its necessities.

Thank you for supporting us!

We’ve been overwhelmed by the number of visitors coming through our Showhome and look forward to reopening under level 2 guidelines.

Toyota mooves Rook numbers drop communities

By Roy Pilott

Benjamin Wilson

Ebbett Toyota is launching their Community Moover, a free to use Toyota HiAce, for community groups and charities.

“We want to have our Ebbett Toyota dealerships enabling them to do great things” said Ebbett Toyota Marketing Manager, Anna Hall.

The Moover will be available in the wider Te Awamutu and Morrinsville areas, including Cambridge, after Waipā moves to alert level two.

The Moover has seating for 10 people

and can be used for up to two days. Ebbett Toyota lists schools, sports groups, charities, and churches as examples of groups who may want to use the service.

The service can be requested by filling out a form online. Any group or organisation can request the service, provided they’re not for profit in nature. The Moover is not available for personal use.

The Te Awamutu Community Moover can be picked up from Ebbett Toyota’s Waipā dealership in Te Awamutu.

The regional council believes rook numbers have fallen from about 50 to 40 in the region over the past year.

Introduced from Britain to control insects more than 150 years ago, the bird soon wore out their welcome.

Today the are considered one of the most destructive farm production pest birds in the world.

The Waikato Regional Council makes an annual appeal for sightings.

Biosecurity officer Andrew McConnell says three sites were found last year in Paeroa, Mangakino and Tīrau thanks to the help of landowners.

“The largest rookery, in Mangakino, was made up of six birds.

“The largest colony ever found in New Zealand was nearly 1000 nests but, thanks to control, such groupings are a thing of the past. We’ve been controlling rooks here

DOCTOR LAWN covers all aspects of lawn care from initial laying of instant turf and sowing new lawns, irrigation installation & maintenance, through to rejuvenating sick, stressed and run down lawns into green, weed free lawns you can be proud of.

This rookery, containing chicks, was found in Mangakino.

in the Waikato since 2002 when their numbers were around 200.”

In the Waikato, rook “hotspots” are in Paeroa, from Te Poi to Matamata, Mangakino to Taupō and in Hamilton.

Once rookery sightings have been called in, a drone is used to survey for the presence of eggs and or chicks in nests to ensure only active nests are treated.

“Using a drone means we don’t waste resources on empty nests, and it improves efficacy by getting the timing

of control right.

“We rely on landowners to tell us where they are because it’s a bit like looking for a needle in a haystack for them, especially as their numbers get down,” Andrew McConnell said.

“They’re also very wary so it’s important that landowners don’t try get rid of them themselves. We don’t want to scare them; it becomes tricky locating rooks once they have been spooked.”

Rooks build nests in pine or eucalyptus trees.

Flushed with the success of the Great Aged Persons Sign Shifting Saga I have spent the long weekend pondering. Firstly, not only was it lengthy due to an extra day afforded as a holiday to respect those in labour (the lower case is deliberate) but that such labour is not in any way connected with the quite proper roll-out of one’s shortly-to-arrive child.

But the real problem associated with this long weekend is the sheer and growing boredom attached with still being incarcerated under the dreaded Level Three.

Such boredom is a great success for revelling in never-ending renditions afforded by immersing oneself under the grasp of Netflix.

But in the fact that once The Listener has been absorbed in full what other excitement is permitted to prevail?

I have noticed that my consumption of the thankfully returned literary missive has caused a different approach to my consumption of what lays between the front and back pages. In previous, non-Covid, lockdown days I would possibly devour no more than sixty per cent of the document.

Only 30 years ago The Listener had the highest readership circulation in the country.

That percentage was allied to the articles that attracted my real interest, political leaning and possibly accepting that the articles I read were written by (mainly) journalists whose artful prose and depth of analysis appealed to me.

But now I read everything. From the well-presented prose heralding itself as the editorial at the front to the bottom-of-theWairarapa musings of two escaped-fromAuckland journalists. They adore their pet sheep and lean heavily on their neighbouring professional farmer for advice of the ‘what to do next’ variety. And this journalistic comment from afar (as in getting away from Auckland) has resulted in another well-known writer who used to head TV1 now successfully sending his penmanship offerings up north on the bus from Hawke’s Bay. And surprisingly, mid-pages, taking on board the cooking offerings.

Even the puzzles – where I feel I may have a scant chance of success – are tackled assiduously although I am a dummy at the harder crosswords. The mathematical puzzles challenge me, and I have just started to use the style of the late Professor John Nash in sticking to my knitting when tackling puzzles with numbers in small squares.

Nash’s theorem that the initial direction of attempting to solve a problem should be – and remain – the only direction. In other words when one becomes stuck / frustrated stick to the original investigatory knitting.

Hitherto I have not been a Nash exponent but the man who won the Nobel Prize for Economics should not be ignored - and hopefully I will emerge triumphant one day with the whole table of squares, dead ends etc tidily complete.

My wife’s deeper-than-normal dive into the vagaries and mysteries of Mah-Jong – preCovid a twice weekly enjoyment gathering with her lady friends - has now morphed into what appears to be heading into an almost daily challenge. Not due to an increased interest into the excellent thought-driven challenges of the game but as a necessity of escaping from virus entrapment within our four walls.

The inability to travel the 60 minutes to Tauranga or even the guilt of visiting a shop in Hamilton brings with it the hunger to search for ‘something different’. And woe betide that we should dream of getting away to see our grandchildren in far-off Wellington.

One day – whenever that day will be – we will all look back on this incarceration mentality and wonder if it was all just an ugly dream. We may even return to politicians grappling with the real focus required to make a country grow and prosper. And enjoy the evening TV news programme where a dominant and infinitely boring subject is not thrust upon our screen for at least 50 percent of the allotted hour.

Rebecca Jenkins is hopeful the sale will go ahead as planned.

By Viv Posselt

All going well, the second Waipā Plant Sale will go ahead at Cambridge’s Victoria Square from 8am to noon on Sunday.

Organiser Rebecca Jenkins said last year’s successful inaugural sale attracted 28 stallholders from the Waikato, Bay of Plenty and Auckland.

Four weeks out from this month’s event, that number had grown to over 30 stallholders from around the region.

Any Covid-related changes in plan sale will be posted on the Waipā Plant Sale Facebook platform.

“It was so busy last year that it got quite manic at times ... overall, it was a far bigger success than I had dared hope it would be.

There were stallholders who sold out of everything they had brought within less than an hour of opening,” she said.

Rebecca is a market afficionado. She created the Waipā Plant Sale around the best of what she has experienced around the region combined with her own background knowledge in growing vegetables and making preserves, and her lifelong interest in promoting sustainable natural food production.

She is also the founder of Love Grow Eat, an urban organic online space established in 2018 with the home gardener in mind. It

offers information, inspiration and advice on a raft of topics, including on how to save and sow your own seeds and follow the seasonal cycle.

“As I see it ‘love’ is about loving the soil and feeding it the best stuff to make it as organic as possible,” Rebecca explained.

“The ‘grow’ part of it is about growing delicious healthy food and lovely flowers, and the ‘eat’ part is obviously about sharing the food you have grown with family and friends.

That sharing is what creates a community.”

Rebecca believes communities need to return to a more sustainable era, when growing their own food according to seasonal changes was the norm and pickling and preserving was a natural home-based process.

She is also keen on building on a ‘crop swap’ concept which would see Cambridge neighbours link up over the growing process and share the resultant crops between them.

“Perhaps one person could do potatoes, another leeks … and so on. That is an easy way to encourage self-sufficiency and enhance neighbourhoods,” she said. “I think people have just lost the skills … lost their confidence. Growing your own produce can be very rewarding, and it saves money.”

The Waipā Plant Sale will be free to enter.

Among the host of plants on offer will be a huge range of vegetables, herbs, seedlings, fruit trees, flowers and garden hats.

Te Awa river path takes shape

By Mary Anne Gill

Te Awa River path users between Cambridge Gaslight Theatre and the velodrome can finally snatch a glimpse of the next stage of the shared path.

Parts of the path below the velodrome have been dug up and fenced off so work crews can connect the two paths up.

The unopened $20 million Waipā section skirts alongside Waikato River behind St Peter’s School, through to Hooker Rd, Pencarrow Rd and then under SH21 Airport Road into Tamahere to link up with the Hamilton section.

The 20km shared path is being built by Waka Kotahi New Zealand Transport Agency, Waipā, Waikato and Hamilton councils.

It will provide a safe and accessible walking and cycling option between Cambridge and Hamilton and link in to existing sections of the Te Awa path to create a 60km walking and cycling route between Karāpiro and Ngaruawahia.

Crews have built one of the three bridges, poured

More than 700 plants are now installed in the gullies

Until recently, views of the previously inaccessible section of the river bank below the velodrome have been hidden by foliage.

Now there are newly replanted gullies with more than 7000 plants which one day will provide shade to walkers and cyclists.

The SH21 underpass was completed in July and crews are building the ramps and approaches.

Neighbouring Waikato District Council have finished the path alongside Newell Road and into Riverglade Drive.

Now they have their eyes on the path which heads down through the bush back

towards the river bank.

This includes a spectacular elevated boardwalk section which was built in sections offsite. The Hamilton City Council section meets the Waikato path in the Mangaonua Gully. The shared path will then run alongside Howell Ave into Hillcrest and link up at Hamilton Gardens with the city’s existing city cycling network.

The three council sections of Te Awa are jointly funded by the Government’s shovelready infrastructure fund and Waka Kotahi.

The pathway is not expected to be complete until early next year.

Get gardening

A monthly gardening column, courtesy of Amber Garden Centre This warmer weather means everything is growing fast, to ensure the continuation of this growth, now is the time to get out and feed everything.

Vegetables: Now is the perfect time to plant the vegetable garden.

It should be warm enough for crops like tomatoes, courgettes and cucumbers now, but be wary of cooler night temperatures. Plant more of your earlier crops like lettuce, carrots, peas and beans.

Cycling regular plantings every few weeks will ensure a fresh crop of veggies throughout summer.

Fruit Trees: Pheromone traps should be put out to help monitor codling moths, if they are present spray with Yates Maverick or Neem oil to kill any caterpillars. It is important to spray for these before they can enter pip fruit like apples and pears.

Flowers: Spring brings an array of annuals to choose from. Petunia, begonia, alyssum and many more are suitable for garden beds, pots and hanging baskets. Perennial plants such as delphinium and daisies are perfect to plant for some added colour. Planting marigolds near the vegetable garden is a good way to deter insects.

Shrubs: Pruning shrubs like camellias and rhododendrons after they have finished flowering will help to encourage branching out with new growth, especially if this is followed by a feed with acid fertiliser.

Hedges will benefit from a light prune to the new growth and a top dressing with Tui Chicken and Sheep Pallets. Happy Gardening

MORTGAGE MATTERS

Why use a Mortgage Broker?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Laid back lunches

Last weekend I enjoyed a relaxed lunch on a friend’s patio.

The sun gods were obliging, the slight breeze was balmy and I realised that summer was just around the corner. Hurray!

Laid back lunches are great for catching up with friends and family. They don’t need to be exotic — just good food served simply. My friend dished up a crisp and colourful salad topped with an award-winning, Kiwi-produced burrata — mozzarellalike on the outside but gloriously gooey on the inside. The round ball of cheese — about the size of a small apple — opened up like a soft boiled egg. A splash of extra virgin olive Pan-Grilled Eggplant Salad oil and balsamic vinegar and sprinkles of freshly ground black pepper and flaky salt were the only accompaniments. Yum! browned on both sides. Place in a bowl.
