A Te Awamutu Wharekura welcomed 10 new students with a powhiri this week.

Te Wharekura o Ngā Purapura o Te Aroha has been on its site adjacent to Te Wānanga o Aotearoa in Factory Rd since 2007 – but it was only last year that the year 1-13 school was able to fully open its wings with their very own purpose built kura that caters to Māori medium education here Te Awamutu.

A comprehensive building programme gave the students – now numbering 110 – an open plan facility with senior and junior wings, a gymnasium, a food-tech room, a science lab, an art room, breakout rooms, sick bay and an outdoor sports court – and even a music room, and recording studio.

Staff and existing students welcome their new classmates on Tuesday.

The school roll has more than double in the last five years.

It is lead by Tumuaki (Principal) Jade Tapine who is in his 14th and potentially most exciting, year at the kura.

Heritage Month programme announced

Waipā residents are being invited to learn about the district’s history for Heritage Month 2021.

Waipā District Libraries and Te Awamutu Museum are hosting a range of activities, including walks, talks, displays and creative workshops through to March 3.

Strategy and community services group manager Debbie Lascelles said a likely highlight of Heritage Month would be the walking tours.

“The walking tours, back by popular demand, are a fantastic opportunity for residents to get out and about in our amazing district to learn more about what makes our towns unique.”

The tours will be run in Cambridge, Te Awamutu and Kihikihi, and community experts will share their knowledge of buildings and landmarks.

Te Awamutu Museum has developed two scavenger hunt activity trails around Te Awamutu to highlight historic and heritage landmarks around the town.

“These self-guided trails are a great family-friendly activity, allowing parents and children to take their own time exploring the district.”

Several heritage talks are also being held across the district to celebrate Heritage Month.

The first talk is based on the book The Plough of the Pakeha by Eric Beer and Alwyn Gascoigne was staged at the Cambridge Library on Tuesday.

Historian Alan Hall will be speak at the Te Awamutu Library next Wednesday about Te Awamutu’s iconic buildings.

Residents can also share their knowledge of commercial buildings at public displays in the Te Awamutu Library and Cambridge Library.

Te Awamutu Museum is running creative workshops to support learning and understanding of Māori culture and its place in our nation’s history.

Last weekend’s Kawhia Kai festival proved to be another success.

Festival chairperson Marj Kaati said just over 4000 people attended the day – which featured food and craft stalls.

“The Kawhia Kai Festival was enjoyed by a variety of people from families, local residents and holiday makers to domestic visitors,” she said.

“There was a diverse range of food stalls from the traditional hangi, paua, koki (shark liver), Kaanga Wai, whitebait fritters, mussels, fried bread, kina to fruit ice-cream, Thai and the everpopular Watermelon Sundae.”

Craft stalls with greenstone jewellery and kete were on show for festivals goers who were treated to a waka on the water. The Kawhia Muso opened the festival just after 9am karakia (blessing) The festival committee has yet to tally up the gold coin donations received at the gate, auctions, raffle and battens up run on the day.

The annual Pureora Forest Park Hunting Competition will return for 2021.

The competition, managed by the Department of Conservation’s (DOC) Maniapoto District staff, is traditionally held in the annual deer roar in autumn. It was cancelled in 2020 due to the COVID-19 nationwide lockdown.

Kina Campbell, DOC’s Senior Ranger Community for Maniapoto, says 2021 marks the 33rd year the event has been held.

The competition will start on March 12 and is open to all hunters with current permits for Pureora.

“This year we would like to encourage pig hunters to get a good jaw from the forest and come along for an opportunity to win prizes and meet other hunters, sponsors and DOC staff.

“We’re hopeful competitors

will be particularly motivated to test their skills this year to make up for missing out in 2020,” she says.

The competition allows those involved to encounter the results of many years of collective community and public agency pest control efforts undertaken in Pureora and in surrounding areas.

Participants can also arrange for their dogs to undertake Kiwi Aversion training on the day, so the animals learn to stay clear of the native birds.

Data on various populations of native birds as well as the strong population of healthy deer in the area will be displayed in various stalls on the day, and with DOC Rangers available to answer questions. Pureora Forest Park is home to good populations of several native bird species, including kākā, kōkako and kākāriki.

Pop-up store helps the young

By Viv Posselt

Three Cambridge women – two of them raising their own grandchildren – are opening a popup store in their town this week to raise funds for Linda Roil’s Kids in Need Waikato.

The outlet will open between 10am and 2pm tomorrow in the Red Cross Hall in Milicich Place. Then, it will open in the same place every alternate Friday.

It came about after grandmothers Brenda Rameka and Betty Busst, together with Julie Baines, started thinking about ways to help the charity organisation. They all knew about Linda Roil and her tireless efforts to help youngsters living in foster care and their caregivers, as well as a growing number of grandparents raising their own grandchildren but wanted to fill in gaps where they could.

“We saw there was a particular need in certain areas,” said Brenda.

“Betty and I are volunteers with Linda [Roil], and we noticed that some of the clothing coming in was inappropriate … it couldn’t

be passed on. We started thinking on ways we could help and came up with the idea of a pop-up outlet where we could sell donated clothing and raise the money for Kids in Need.”

The women have set it up along the same lines as an op-shop.

They will on-sell donated items, specifically clothing, kitchenware, linen, toys and bric-a-brac.

“We don’t want any big items, like furniture or electrical goods,” said Betty. “The proceeds from everything we sell will go to Kids in Need.”

The store will remain at the Red Cross Hall every second Friday for the time being and will operate on a cash-only basis. If the support is there, and the opportunity arises, the women may look at a more permanent arrangement down the track.

Kids in Need Waikato is a charity organisation that provides personalised care packs for children in care, aged up to 17 years. Its founders, Graeme and Linda Roil, began fostering children in 2014 and grew increasingly concerned about

the lack of support for both foster children and their caregivers, and started Kids in Need Waikato. The donations they receive from the community helps them provide care packs for children, made up to suit their individual needs and interests.

Linda said she was ‘overwhelmed’ at the women’s initiative. “We are so grateful for anyone who fundraises for us. We are actually too busy to do it ourselves and are blessed to have people taking it upon themselves to do this,” she said.

The trio behind the new pop-up outlet opening this week to help Kids in Need Waikato – Julie Baines, Brenda Rameka and Betty Busst.

Chairman backs trust grant

Waikato Regional Council leader Russ Rimmington says his decision to force through a $50,000 a year grant to the Rural Support Trust was right.

Mr Rimmington used his casting vote to push the proposal through. The money will be paid for the next three years. “It should have been a unanimous decision,” he said.

“Maybe I didn’t do enough lobbying.”

Rural Support Trusts provide free and confidential support for rural people and farming families across the country.

Council Chief Executive Chris McLay said staff work closely with the trust due to their

regular face-to-face contact with farmers and provide valuable advice and training for recognising signs when rural people might need assistance.

Mr Rimmington, who has been a dairy farmer for 40 years, says stress has never been greater on the rural community.

“I have never seen farmers so tired; they are unsung heroes, but they can’t afford extra staff and their mental health is suffering.”

He said a side effect of the quite appropriate clamp down on drink driving had been that isolated farmers were meeting far less frequently to discuss their problems and

Consultation opens on bus, train fares

Waikato Regional Council is proposing its most significant change to bus fares in more than five years, with public consultation closing at the end of February.

Interim bus fares were introduced when the Bee Card was rolled out in the Waikato in July last year.

“With more than 30,000 people now using Bee Cards in the region – that’s more than 95 per cent of bus users – it’s time to set fares going forward,” said Waikato regional councillor and Regional Connections Committee chair Angela Strange.

“As a result of the changes

we’re proposing, some fares will become cheaper than pre-COVID levels, and some will increase slightly.

“To make public transport more accessible for everyone, we’re also looking to introduce fare capping which will make fares cheaper for regular bus users,” Cr Strange said.

Once you spend a certain amount each week on your Bee Card (from Monday to Sunday), all further bus travel in that zone is free.

Under the proposal, it means the maximum an adult will pay per week is $20 in Hamilton, and for people 18 and under the maximum

will be $15.

Fare capping is also available across zones – for example people travelling through three zones, like Huntly to Hamilton, the maximum weekly travel cost will be $40, and for people 18 and under it’ll be $30.

Bee Card fares are also being proposed for the new Te Huia train service, due to rollout of the Waikato for the first time this year.

For more information and to provide feedback on the changes coming in mid2021, an online survey can be completed by visiting busit. co.nz/fare-changes or calling 0800 205 305.

work at the rural tavern.

“There has been a social change. Those talks about weather, money and prices don’t happen as they once did. Farmers are under enormous stress and banks have become like robots – and they give farmers no slack.”

Figures from 2016 show the rural suicide rate in New Zealand was 13.8 per 100,000 people, in comparison to the urban rate of 11.

“Fonterra is moving in this area, but more needs to be done,” Mr Rimmington said.

More is being done to deal with invasive Koi carp in Waikato waterways.

The News reported last week that the

council had put up $250,000 to fund a strategy programme.

“Central government and the Department of Conservation is missing in action on this,” Mr Rimmington said. “This is one of the biggest plagues Waikato has ever seen.

The carp – released into waterway as goldfish either deliberately or by accident, grow to 75cm and weigh 12kg. They are bottom feeders and not regarded as a good fish to eat.

Those caught now – particularly during annual bow hunting competitions – go to fertiliser works.

Tree church branches out Ohaupo Tree Church and Gardens’ new owners, Bev and Chris Gatenby, have already begun developing the West Rd property, with construction of a new indoor venue about to begin.

“We’re renovating a twostorey old barn, which will look over the gardens and where workshops, retreats and small conferences can be held,” Bev said. “This will have two beautiful accommodation rooms attached to it.”

Bev, who works as a consultant with charities and local government, and Chris, who has worked at the TreeChurch for four years, bought the property from Barry Cox last August.

It is open to the public

from 10am-4pm on Sundays for an admission fee and is a popular wedding venue.

A new spring blossom meadow-style garden is also

planned in a new area of the property behind the formal gardens, where a small stream runs beside a kauri grove.

WHETHER YOUR NEEDS ARE MILKING MACHINES, WATER SERVICES OR STAINLESS FABRICATION Call our qualified team of experts – we have someone on call 365 days a year.

If you are looking for the perfect combination of new and experience, then look no further than Pratt Milking Limited in Te Awamutu.

PML boasts a quarter of a century of service to the rural community and moved into a new purpose built home on Bond Road in November.

The new home has been filled with hundreds of years of experience in the industry.

That experience is something director Jason Donnelly is particularly proud of.

“Take Water Technician Charlie Kay and Milking Machine Technician Dan Pratt – and you have 60 years between them alone,” he said.

That experience has been worthwhile at a time when the national dairy herd count is at maximum levels and the need for the latest technology and premier maintenance of milking systems is paramount.

PML services 50 New Zealand dealerships and more than 1000 farmers all over the North Island – from Wairoa to Cambridge, Orini to Õtorohanga.

With new technology also

comes new challenges – PML installed a sheep milking system in nearby Paterangi Rd last May and is also looking at goat milking systems.

The move from its former home around the corner in Benson Rd was necessary – PML, agents for DeLaval and exporting off-shore, had simply outgrown it.

The company also specialises in stainless steel fabrication and the two sides of the operation were previously housed separately. The new 1200 square metre, two storey home in Bond Rd has it all under one roof.

PML is very much a Waipā company. Dan and son Zakk Pratt established it in the late 1990s. Today Zakk, Brett McLeod and Jason Donnelly make up the directorship, and the company employs a further 17 staff, including Dan. Jason, who was born in Õhaupõ and went to Te Awamutu College, says PML is also a strong supporter of sport and sponsors local golf clubs, speedway, netball and rugby in the community.

Zakk says he’s looking forward

to seeing the team make the most of their new home, and greeting existing and new clients.

“My message to farmers is if they have a problem with their milking systems or want some advice, come and see us. We have a great team of specialists who can help you.”

PML is open Monday to Friday – but has staff on call around the clock.

NO PLANET B

FAITH IN WAIPĀ

Plastic not so fantastic

The choice will be yours…

Brazil loses around 10,000 square kilometres of rainforest a year. That is roughly equivalent to 3.2 football fields a minute. This figure is actually less than it was in the nineties and early 2000s, but it still seems like an incomprehensibly rapid rate of destruction. It has been claimed that the government of Brazil has actively discouraged action against illegal logging in the Amazon, leaving the illegal loggers to act with impunity.

Jair Bolsonaro, the right-leaning president of Brazil, he has said it is all lies - that the Amazon belongs to Brazil and “European countries can mind their own business” since they have already destroyed their own environment.

Has he got a point?

Brazil is a sovereign nation with a democratically elected government, and certain Brazilian citizens, mainly corporate ones, are laying waste to the rainforest.

Except that ‘laying waste’ is a deliberately emotive phrase; what they are, in fact, doing is clearing the rainforest to make way for farming. Mainly beef farming to be precise.

Why are they doing that?

They are doing it because they can make money from it.

And who owns the rainforest?

Brazil does.

Given that we all (the rest of the world) would prefer the rainforest to remain intact, how can we persuade the Brazilians to stop clearing it?

The situation seems quite clear - It’s a case of: It’s my rainforest and I’ll clear it if I want to - and I do want to because it makes economic sense, because I can sell the beef which I raise on the newly cleared land to other countries -

Quite recently I engaged with someone who holds deep regrets as a result of poor decisions they made long ago. Their sense of loss and painful remorse was heartrending beyond words.

One of the inherent characteristics of being human is that we are given freedom of choice. That’s both a scary fact and yet a wonderful gift at the same time. We are not pre-programmed robots, rather we are volitional beings capable of reasoning, evaluating options and making decisions according to our will.

Choices can result in ‘life’…or conversely ‘death’, depending on the exercise of our will.

I like the story of an elderly kaumatua who lived many years ago. This wise old sage had earned significant mana over time for his insightful counsel and advice with tangata whenua traversing great distances to seek his guidance. His discernment matched his humble accessibility to both chief and slave alike who sought an audience with him.

One day two mischievous tamaiti (young boys) came intending to trick their wise elder. They had caught a bird and planned to test the old man’s wisdom.

Together, holding the captured bird out of sight behind their backs, they approached the kaumatua barely able to conceal the grins on their faces.

“E te rangatira. Kei te ora, kua mate ranei te manu kei a tatou i konei?”

“Wise sir. Is the bird we have here alive or dead?”

Their plan was to await the answer and whatever he said, prove him wrong…if he said ‘alive’ they would wring the bird’s neck and present it lifeless. If however he said

like yours” The way I see it there are two possible solutions: 1: The rest of the world stops buying the meat, thus removing the economic incentive from rainforest clearance.

2: How about this for an idea? - the rest of the world pays Brazil not to clear the rainforest. Simple - make it more economically rewarding for them to leave it where it is. A bit like the carbon credits thing which is done elsewhere - people pay to ‘appropriate’ the positive effect on the environment of a section of vegetation they previously had no association with. Makes sense to me. And if a Brazilian farmer can make more money leaving the forest alone than he can growing beef - what’s he going to do?

You’re probably thinking, why should I pay?

The answer is why shouldn’t you?

We (the rest of the world) expect Brazil to forego the economic benefit of farming beef as opposed to trees - but we don’t want to reimburse Brazil for the unrealised income?

Speaking as a vegetarian (actually a serially failing vegan), I think the best and certainly the cheapest solution might be option 1, but morally and ethically speaking we should probably pay Brazil to look after the rainforest on the world’s behalf.

Maori have a word for it - kaitiakitanga. It means stewardship, guardianship, looking after the land which looks after you.

Makes sense, don’t you think?

Let’s hear about Waipā’s environmental heroes - Contact Peter Matthews at: peter@ noplanetb.nz

‘dead’, they would release it from their grip and off it would fly.

They couldn’t lose!

Greatly pleased with themselves in creating this entrapping situation they anticipated getting one over the old man.

Studying the boys faces carefully the old man paused before responding, “Tamaiti maau e whiriwhiri.”

“Boys the choice will be yours.”

The kaumatua nailed it. Outcomes are always determined by personal choices… for good or bad. How we respond to life’s situations or the actions of others who have impacted us, is a choice.

Making right decisions in life is a big subject in the Bible. It describes what choosing wrong attitudes and pathways looks like and how to avoid the suffering that bad decisions bring. It also describes the hope of restoration and release for people snared or messed up by wilful mistakes.

Bob Dylan drew inspiration from words in the Bible for his song “You gonna have to serve somebody, It may be the devil or it may be the Lord.” The lyrics emphasise a starting point for life working. Sheep need their Shepherd, creation is sustained by its Creator and we are urged as God’s children not to trash our destiny by relying on our own ‘wisdom’ and doing life independently of an all wise Heavenly Father who wants our best.

The choice about ‘Who we gonna serve’ cues every other decision we’ll make, determining the outcome of our lives.

Five seconds: too much to ask?

By Peter Carr

The sad death a few days ago of Sir Tom Moore ended a remarkable event. This deep-thinking and caring man, who had been on earth 100 years, portrayed a selfless dedication to the plights of others.

His fund-raising target was the struggling National Health Service in the United Kingdom. That he walked – propped up by his walking frame – a seemingly endless series of circuits around his garden is testament to his determination, grit and very caring attitude.

Born and brought up in my native Yorkshire, he attended Keighley Grammar School - his education in life being interrupted

by German atrocities in Poland which catapulted him into a role as an officer in a British regiment. The key part of the ensuing years was being involved with, and struggling through, the historic Burma Campaign. Later in life he entered the world of commerce.

His perambulatory - and no doubt painful efforts - raised in excess of £33 million aimed at providing support for medical carers in hospitals and enhancing the ability of patients to keep in touch with their loved ones. Even after the formal closure of the Give-a-Little page, funding continued to pour in.

I raise this subject because Tom resided in a country where poor political manoeuvring and somewhat shambolic coordination to combat the Covid virus effects all but failed.

They may just be saved by the rapid dispersal of several vaccines that have emerged.

People in the UK constantly tell me they are in awe of what New Zealand has achieved.

That the total number of deaths was held well under 30 is a credit to those who care for the well-being of people.

Witness the TV3 UK-based journalist who, upon returning last week to London after an assignment in the USA, was told

to take himself into his own isolation and to ‘get himself a test’. No group direction, no coordination, no subsequent check-up, no official proof he is behaving himself. He elected to retreat into his personal burrow by hiring an Air BnB residence.

Leap ahead 13 time zones and what do we have? Capture at the border, minimalistic permits for evading ‘hotel’ incarceration, and at least two formal, organised and controlled tests before emerging back into society.

We are a society where the government – elected and bureaucratic – is holding the line - part of which is to plead with the public to ensure they maximise use of the QR codes in business establishments that they visit.

Well people, let me tell you that a vast majority of you are not heeding the message.

This week I spied upon (I prefer conducted a silent survey) on two well-known cafes, a pharmacy and a hairdresser. And my crude assessment is that up to 70 per cent of you do not care.

It is not up to the owner or proprietor of the business to tell you to spend five seconds by holding your phone for an automatic ‘stamp’ on your entry passport. This information is held in your phone for 60 days.

The very least you can do is play the game, front and centre. It is not a sissy thing to undertake this simple task. All societal groups, ethnic mixes and age bands are guilty.

It is your simple, clear and civic duty to help those in the front line fight the virus. Failure to do so will see you – and sadly, the good caring people too - being incarcerated again in the Level Four hell you experienced last year.

Tom Moore cared – very much so – why can’t we?

LAST CHANCE TO LIVE IN LAKEWOOD The superb Cambridge development has been four years in the making and will see work start this month on the final piece of the jigsaw – 20 three and four-bedroom townhouses.

This week Blair Currie, the man behind the Lakewood Townhouses build, confirmed more than half have already sold. In fact, all the three-bedroom apartments are sold – a single digit number of fourbedroom units priced at $1.38 million remain.

It’s no surprise.

Lakewood is a unique development for Cambridge – it was created to be an all-in-one community, and it’s just over two years since the first stage was completed. The man behind the final development on the site off Queen Street was inspired by the increasing numbers of townhouse complexes being built in Hamilton. He wanted to do something better.

“Lakewood takes it a step further, because we are creating high-end homes with tasteful designs and amenities which encourage residents to be part of the community they live in. We are lucky to have such talented local companies like HUS and DesignMarked who have been an integral part of the interior and kitchen design.

“The latest development has double garages - but I wouldn’t mind betting the cars will stay at home most of the time.

LA K EW O O D IS A LM O ST

FU LL

“Lakewood rises early when the gym opens for residents, then the coffee shops start brewing – the residents know each other, it’s a bit like what Britain had a generation ago when the corner pub and newsagent were meeting places.

O

“But then in a way, that’s always been Cambridge.”

Three companies he founded are driving the development – BCD Group has provided its planning and engineering expertise, Black and Orange Property has been responsible for property development and marketing and Engas Developments is leading the construction.

Blair says the project has been aided by having an excellent relationship with Waipā District Council, which this month confirmed its future plans for Lake Te Koo Utu and its reserve. The 20 new townhouses will overlook the reserve. Blair is proud of the audio on a video he has of the building site because it is accompanied by a chorus of bird song.

“We started with a what was really a wasteland and there was no birdsong,” he says.

There are four blocks with five townhouses in each block. There is a staggered finish with each block finishing around four months following each other.

Local Earthwork Contractor Waipa Civil is near completion for the infrastructure and bulk earthworks installation. It is expected that the construction program will take about two years to finish.

IT DOESN’T GET BETTER THAN THIS… Imagine urban living in a thriving community, with elevated outlook over Lake Te Koo Utu Reserve and the hills beyond. The opportunity to buy your next home just like that is on offer.

Twenty freehold three-storey townhouses located along the north-eastern edge of the Lakewood Cambridge development are to be built this year, and the opportunity to buy is now.

a five-minute walk from supermarkets, the Town Hall, and the Cambridge town centre.

What makes them special…

Whether you are looking for something which is both luxurious and low maintenance, an unrivalled central location or just looking to capitalise on our thriving region, Lakewood Townhouses can accommodate your needs.

The project has clearly already caught buyers’ imagination – all the three-bedroom homes have sold, leaving a handful of four-bedroom homes.

These homes offer over-height glazing and ceilings, air-conditioning, top quality finishing and fixtures, double car garaging and generous living space.

You can see how the work has developed so far through time lapse film taken from October to December 2020, at www.facebook.com/ blackandorangeproperty/

They are fitted with a two-way intercom, and there are options to add – if you want, a lift.

There are green options – including solar panels and e-chargers.

The high-spec pet-friendly homes come with private courtyard gardens, luxurious and easycare living and high-quality finishes and fixtures throughout. They will be the product of an award-winning development team and offer urban living amongst vibrant natural surrounds.

But what makes Lakewood extra special is the location – it is surrounded by Lake Te Koo Utu Reserve combined with the simplicity of urban living.

On their doorstep are a range of shops including eateries, a gym, the cinema, and a pub. You are

THURSDAY FEBRUARY 11, 2021

THEY’RE SO HAPPY TO BE HERE… The Lakewood Townhouses development is on the northeast edge of the Lakewood Cambridge complex. Last year Blair Currie bought the townhouse site which had previously been under the same ownership as the rest of the Lakewood development.

The previous scheme was denser, and the townhouses were smaller. The new scheme has reduced the number of townhouses from 31 to 20, are between 210 and 240 square metres and have 15 visitor carparks on site.

FEATURES

Internal double garage, private courtyard garden, feature pendant lighting, composite stone and wooden bench tops, engineered timber flooring and the option of an elegant gas fireplace.

IN THE BEDROOM…

Master bedrooms feature an ensuite and generous walk-in wardrobe space.

GETTING CONNECTED

There is fibre and full HDTV reception - and data/TV outlets in bedrooms and living rooms.

A DOOR TO NATURE

The ground floor patios offer privacy from neighbouring townhouses and a connection to the reserve.

The Lakewood Townhouse site is unique. It is surrounded

by Lake Te Koo Utu Reserve so even though you are right in central Cambridge, you get to enjoy the beautiful natural surroundings and know you will not be built around. It is the last bit of decent sized land left in central Cambridge, so the developers are excited to deliver something that they are very proud to be involved in and complete.

They will be added to a community which is already populated by apartments, a bar, gym, multiple eateries, a cinema, a real estate office and a hairdresser.

Cambridge News readers will not need to be told that Lakewood Townhouses boast an unrivalled central location, both in town and in the region.

Lakewood Body Corporate chair Mary Anne Gill said when the first stage of the Lakewood Cambridge complex opened in July 2018, it breathed new life into the former Cambridge Railway site.

“I know there were plenty of doubters about Lakewood, but the developers did their homework, and they were right that Cambridge was ready for this sort of development, a mixed use of commercial and residential.

“The townhouses will add to what is already a vibrant community. What pleases me more than anything is the seamless way the development blends into Lake Te Koo Utu and its surrounds.”

The developers really have achieved their goal of redefining the quality of urban living.

The Lakewood community has already started to play an active role in the Cambridge community and played a role in the structure of the just-adopted Lake Te Koo Utu plan which will enhance biodiversity there.

Who wouldn’t want to live there?

LAKEWOOD – THEN AND NOW When work commenced on Lakewood Cambridge in 2017 the 3ha site was bare land off Queen Street – but it had history.

It was for many years the site of the Cambridge Railway Station.

Looking back – how the Lakewood site appeared in 1930.

Photo: National Library Museum

The Cambridge railway yard was between Queen Street and Lake Te Koo Utu and crossed at its entrance by Lake Street.

There was a station building, goods shed and crane, locomotive shed, turntable and stockyards. The rail yard consisted of the main line, crossing loop, four sidings, goods shed siding, backshunt, turntable and locomotive depot, stockyard and private sidings.

The last passenger service on the line left on September 9, 1946, although during the 1950 British Empire Games at Auckland three passenger trains took 1,500 spectators to the rowing events on Lake Karapiro in February.

As part of the Lakewood Cambridge development, the small, curved gate known as a “kissing gate” because of the way the gate just ‘kissed’ the fence as it swung around, was installed at the Lake St entrance.

There were occasional excursions, such as those celebrating the centennial in 1984.

The initial Stages 1 and 2 saw the construction of 16 apartments, retail and dining facilities, an early childhood centre and the Hidden Lake Hotel, completed in early 2020.

The nearly completed third stage will provide further commercial and office facilities for the community.

The old Cambridge Railway sign was also installed by Lakewood Cambridge developers above a white picket fence.

Freight train traffic had reduced when, in 1999, Tranz Rail tore up the rail line between Hautapu and Cambridge.

THURSDAY FEBRUARY 11, 2021

Fonterra defends ‘ghost farms’ Fonterra has been accused of creating ghost farms – including one in Waipā where nitrate-heavy water is dumped.

Buxton Farm has been used to soak up waste water from the nearby Hautapu dairy plant since 1994. It is one of 29 farms it uses primarily for “nutrient management”.

The company responded on its own website this week after media picked up the story, originally aired by Radio New Zealand.

“When managed well, we can use the treated water from our factories to help grow grass and other crops such as hemp. We can then harvest these crops for worthwhile uses such as making animal feed. This provides us with a nice circular model for nutrient management. This is the

model we have in place in Hautapu where we’ve been operating a ‘cut and carry’ farm for a couple of years, a company statement read.

The company disputed the term “ghost farm”.

You may have heard these referred to as ‘ghost farms’, as there aren’t any cows on them – but that’s not a real term. It’s actually that we’ve created an alternative use for this land, which enables us to grow crops, using water from our sites to provide the nutrients required for them to grow well.”

Fencourt Rd residents raised concerns in the middle of last year when Fonterra applied to both Waikato Regional Council and Waipā District Council to renew its existing wastewater consents and for

consent to build the a treatment plant.

It is understood Fonterra has supplied 38 water filter systems to properties near the Hautapu plant to remove nitrate from their water.

“The treatment processes we use are designed to ensure the impacts on the environment are acceptable and remain within the limits set by Regional Councils,” the company said.

The company say it plans to invest $400 million over 10 years to upgrades wastewater plants at their Te Awamutu, Hautapu, Edgecumbe, Whareroa, Maungaturoto, Longburn, Reporoa, Kapuni and Clandeboye and factories. It says the majority of nitrogen in wastewater comes from cleaning processes.

Masons present funds to help women with cancer

By Viv Posselt

A donation by Freemasons is bringing light relief into the lives of women battling breast cancer.

The donation of $4300, raised through the Freemasons and Waipā Masonic Lodge No. 119, was presented on Tuesday to members of the Casting for Recovery team who organise annual retreats at Wharepapa, south of Te Awamutu. This year’s retreat is being held at the weekend.

It is the third successive year the Freemasons have donated to Casting for Recovery (CfR). Waipā Masonic Lodge No. 119 Master Steve Johnson said the funds had been raised for CfR through the lodge and The Freemasons Charity.

“We are pleased to be able to support these ladies who are facing a challenging situation. We have done it for the past few years … this is what we are all about.”

Waipā District Mayor Jim Mylchreest, who presented the funds to Casting for Recovery coordinator Wendy Caldwell, said he was amazed by the ‘phenomenal role’ played by the Freemasons,

usually under the radar, in supporting groups providing help to others in the community, such as Casting for Recovery.

“Cancer is such an insidious disease, and breast cancer is a major cause of death in this country. I thank this Masonic Lodge for its support and congratulate the Casting for Recovery organisation for its efforts over the past 11 years,” he said.

The Casting for Recovery programme, founded in the US, aims to enhance the quality of life for women with breast cancer. It offers free retreats combining peer support with the therapeutic

sport of fly fishing. Women from all over the country are pampered with massage, make-up advice and more, and learn about fly-fishing from some of the country’s finest anglers.

CfR co-ordinator Wendy Caldwell said the funds would go towards making purchases for the women, and for ensuring they were able to enjoy high quality food throughout the retreat.

“Many of them are either post-surgery or are undergoing chemotherapy or radiotherapy … a lot of them aren’t eating well. This gives them an opportunity to enjoy food they don’t have to prepare themselves.”

THURSDAY FEBRUARY 11, 2021

with Jan Bilton

Favour summer flavours

Preserving abundant summer fruits and veg provides sun-kissed flavours to enjoy in cooler months. But if you are a family of just two then it’s best to make small amounts. When jams, pickles and chutneys are left forgotten for months on pantry shelves they lose their summer flavour and colour.

Hints: • Jams and jellies need pectin to set. To test if a fruit has sufficient pectin, cook a small portion in a little water. When soft, take one teaspoon of the juice and combine it with one tablespoon of methylated spirits. Gently swirl and leave for a minute. If sufficient pectin is present, a transparent clot will form. If the pectin content is average, the clot will be less firm and may break up. A very broken clot indicates very little pectin. Adding a pectinrich fruit (eg tart apples) or commercial pectin, could solve the problem. Or use jam-setting sugar.

• Testing for the setting point: the most reliable method is to use a good jam thermometer.

Most preserves set at 104°C. Another method is the plate test — at the end of cooking place a spoonful of the jam on a cold plate and leave to cool slightly. If a skin forms on top and it wrinkles when the plate is tilted, the preserve will set on cooling. If not, cook for a

few minutes extra and test again.

CURRIED COURGETTE RELISH Relishes have less sugar than chutneys.

4 (750g) courgettes, coarsely grated 1 1/2 tablespoons cooking salt 3 (600g) apples, peeled, cored and diced 4 (500g) onions, diced 2 cups malt vinegar 1 1/2 cups raisins chopped 1 cup lightly-packed brown sugar 1 tablespoon ground turmeric 2 teaspoons curry powder Place the courgettes in a large sieve. Sprinkle with salt. Stand for 2 hours. Rinse under cold water then squeeze dry.

Combine the courgettes, apples, onions, vinegar and raisins in a large saucepan. Bring to the boil. Cover and simmer for about 20 minutes or until pulpy. Stir in the sugar and spices until the sugar is dissolved.

Bring to the boil. Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes or until the mixture is thick. Poor into hot sterilised jars.

Seal when cold. Makes about 6 cups.

APRICOT & ORANGE CHUTNEY No need to peel the apricots.

750g apricots, stoned and quartered

Curried Courgette Relish

Apricot and Orange Chutney

2 oranges, peeled and diced 1 large onion, diced 2 cups caster sugar 1/2 teaspoon each: salt, finely ground black pepper, curry powder, ground turmeric 1/4 teaspoon each: chilli flakes, ground nutmeg 2 teaspoons mustard seeds 2 cups cider vinegar Combine the apricots and oranges with the other ingredients in a large saucepan.

Bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 1-1 1/2 hours or until thick. Stir occasionally, especially near the end of cooking time. Pour into hot sterilised jars and seal. Makes about 4 cups.

MUM’S TOMATO CHUTNEY This recipe can be halved.

2kg ripe tomatoes 4 each: apples, large onions 3 cups each: brown sugar, malt vinegar 2 teaspoons each: salt, curry powder, whole cloves 2 dried chillies 1 cup sultanas Peel and chop the tomatoes, apples and onions. Place in a large saucepan with all the other ingredients. Stir over low heat until the sugar is dissolved. Boil for about 2–2 1/2 hours, until thick. Pour into hot, sterilised jars and seal. Makes about 8 cups.

Waikato Lacrosse Men’s Club League drew to a close last week after an 11-game summer season which ran from November to February. Matangi Hillcrest Mustangs claimed their second overall Championship title, winning the final 7-3 over Hamilton Marist and Suburbs beat Te Awamutu Marist Braves 8-2 to claim third place.

While it had been a lean season for Te Awamutu Marist Lacrosse, with an overall 1-8 win loss record, the team is in a rebuilding phase focusing on recruitment and developing new players.

Lacrosse was brought to Te Awamutu Marist by William Chisholm to provide an off-season alternative contact sport for club rugby players looking to maintain fitness over the summer. This season, the lacrosse side gained seven new players who participate in the Marist rugby programmes.

“This season, our team progressed in player and team development with our players learning a number of new skills and building a strong comradery amongst the team,” Chisholm said.

“The leadership has been quite proud of the effort put in by our inexperienced team, and are excited to see a strong player retention into next season to build on those learning the game for their first year.”

Now that the club season is finished, some of the Te Awamutu Marist players - Leon Green, Dean Williams, Elijah Lee, Kaleb Lee, Elliot Parkes – are trialling for the Waikato U18 and Senior Representative Men’s teams which will compete in the New Zealand national tournaments in March and April.

Marist also supports the Te Awamutu College boy’s premier which won the Waikato High School League in both 2019 and 2020.
