The great asset discovery By Mary Anne Gill
Staff at Waipā District Council found assets they did not realise they had – but more disturbingly found they had routinely listed other “disposed assets” on their annual reports for years. Some old assets dated back as far as 1947, deputy chief executive Ken Morris told the council’s Audit and Risk committee this week. The $18 million discovery means the council’s 2020-2021 Annual Report, which council and Audit New Zealand was to sign off this week, will now have to wait until 30 November. In the Annual Report, Morris says council had a continuous data improvement programme in place to identify errors in its asset databases. The anomaly appears in roading infrastructure improvement work. “I think our asset registers are pretty good after this latest clean up.” Councillor Roger Gordon asked: “how does an asset disappear?” Morris said roading assets were complex and gave the example of Hall Street in Cambridge. It comprises several lengths of road, a layering element, a multitude of components including a subbase, compacted earth, base course and then a top seal. It had overlapping pavement layers which were all separate assets. The council’s asset register had hundreds of thousands of assets like that, he said. Committee chair Bruce Robertson said the council needed to continually review the data. “We didn’t get it right, but it was immaterial, to the point of miniscule,” he said about the council’s total equity of $1.75 billion. Elsewhere in the Annual Report, council has reported progress with two ratepayer
legal challenges. The first dates to 2001 when the council completed stormwater system work in Kihikihi and the second for $2 million involving Cambridge racing identities Sir Patrick and Justine, Lady Hogan. The Hogans’ company Erinic Investments
Ltd initiated proceedings last year in the High Court against the council and four other defendants alleging the council was negligent in issuing building consents, inspecting the building work and issuing Code Compliance Certificates for a commercial building they own.
Erinic Investments is claiming at least $2 million in damages with additional losses such as interest and costs. Waipā legal counsel Diana Aquilina said because both matters were before the court, it was inappropriate for it to make any further comment on the proceedings.

Bowlers filled Central Bowling Club’s two greens for a special lockdown two tournament on Saturday. Club spokesperson Frank Broekmans said that firmly establishes the club as the only one in the Waikato able to comfortably fill two greens with club players only. Only double vaccinated bowlers were allowed to play following the suggestion from Bowls New Zealand and Bowls Waikato. After the tournament, president Kerry Bovey made members aware of how Covid had disrupted the club’s programme. The Labour Weekend 75th jubilee was cancelled and that milestone will be celebrated on December 4 with a club member only ceremony. The popular Wednesday Business House tournament will start in January at the same time as the Thursday afternoon roll ups.

Friendships forged in the heat of a wood-fired anagama kiln in the backblocks of Roto-o-Rangi are central to an exhibition at Te Awamutu Museum until December 23. ‘Forged in Fire’ tells the story of how the kiln came to be built on potter Janet Smith’s rural property in 2019. Overlaid with that is the tale of friendships formed during workshops where potters camping out on Janet’s land oversee 24/7 ‘stoking shifts’ over several days to ensure the firing processes go to plan. Janet, who is president of Waiclay, has been involved with the exhibitions they have held jointly with Waikato Museum for more than 20 years. The decision to have a Japanese-style anagama kiln was a natural progression, she said. There are just a few across New Zealand. “I always wanted an anagama. They’re totally wood-fired, which means the distribution of wood ash over the pots creates some really interesting finishes.” The word ‘anagama’ means ‘cave kiln’ in Japanese. It comprises a firing chamber with a firebox at one end and
a flue at the other, with temperatures soaring to around 1300 degrees Celsius over 72 hours. Janet called on master kiln builder and designer Duncan Shearer to build the kiln, adapted to her criteria. They sourced thousands of fire bricks – about 3000 assorted bricks with 279 arch bricks – and with the help of many others, built the kiln over more than six months. The inaugural firing was in October 2019. Several others followed, each one adding to the accumulated knowledge around the process and each one led by a team of different ‘firemasters’ over a period of three days and two nights. “It’s a very technical process,” said Janet. “People think you just throw in the wood and let it burn, but it’s far more complicated than that.” Janet would like to fire the kiln at least twice a year, but Covid has stalled the programme. Each firing involves a workshop-type visit to her property by up to 12 other potters who bring their pots for firing and camp out. After about a week, the kiln has cooled enough to be opened. Last time, the team put over 500 pots into the kiln.

Good news, and unwanted people
I am happy to start with another good news story this week. At lunchtime on Monday, a member of the public reported two people behaving suspiciously in Cambridge East. Police conducted mobile patrols but were unable to find them. It was noted that the couple had a distinctive child’s scooter, which they had been seen retrieving from under a hedge. We next received a report of a matching scooter having been stolen earlier in the day, and you guessed it, CCTV showed it had been taken by the same people. Fast forward a few hours and an eagle-eyed Constable spied the pair in town. As he coordinated an approach, he was hailed by a second member of the public advising they had seen the same duo tagging (graffiti) nearby. The two were apprehended, the scooter was returned to its owner and the pair will be held accountable for all their actions. Yet again, the combined eyes, ears and CCTV of the community helped us solve the crime. Keep it up! Another topic that came up this week was trespass. One of our retailers had a situation where a customer was repeatedly being aggressive, and they wanted to know their options. One course of action is to trespass the person from the property. There are many reasons why you may want to trespass a person. They may be displaying antisocial or aggressive behaviour, they may
have committed a crime such as theft, or be causing harassment. Being trespassed means that the person may not return to your address for a period of two years from the date of trespass. Only the lawful occupier of the address can issue a trespass note, unless authorisation is given by them, for example for Police to act on their behalf. You can trespass a person verbally or in writing. It is easier to prove service of a written notice in court if required and the person has the full information and explanation in writing for their reference. If the person then chooses to return, they may be arrested by Police and charged with the offence of wilful trespass. If you serve a trespass notice, provide one copy to the person you are telling to stay away. Provide a second copy, with a completed proof of service document to Police. We will load an alert against the person you have trespassed and hold a copy for our reference. Retain a third copy for your personal or business record. As with any order, the key to effectiveness is enforcement. Should you knowingly allow or invite the trespassed person back to the address, you nullify the trespass notice. It cannot then be acted upon in the future. The best approach is to contact Police whenever the trespassed person returns.

Briefs… Person of the Year
It’s time to think about who readers think their News person of the Year should be. Every year we take time to celebrate the work of someone in the community who has made a major contribution – and if you know of someone, tell us at editor@goodlocal.nz. Put Person of the Year in the subject line.
Emissions cut
Waikato Regional Council has slashed its carbon emissions – but must now consider tougher targets. Since it began measuring emissions from corporate activities in 2016 the council has reduced measured emissions by 44.4 per cent. That put it on track to reach a 68 per cent target by 2030. But new reporting requirements to include significant indirect emissions, such as those from public transport, means the council will likely have to set new targets.
School says sorry
St Peter’s School Trust Board Chair John Macaskill-Smith has issued an apology for historical abuse at the Waipā school. “…I want to acknowledge and apologise for historical cases of sexual, physical and emotional abuse against former students at our school by former staff members or anyone acting in that capacity,” he said. “In 2018, St Peter’s made the decision to begin researching all notifications of abuse documented in our files since records began in the 1930s. No matter what came to light, trustees were committed to facing up to the truth and taking steps toward putting things right.” The investigation uncovered 19 individual notifications of historical abuse between 1936 and 1981 relating to eight former staff members.
Covid update
Waipā leads the way among Waikato territorial authorities and is edging towards the 90 per cent fully vaccinated target. Nearly 45,000 residents 12 years and over (93.1%) have had their first dose while 41,425 have had their second dose (86%).
‘We’re not dormitory suburbs’ By Mary Anne Gill
Submissions from Waikato-Tainui, Hamilton City Council, Waipa and Waikato district councils left Parliament’s Environment committee with “a lot to think about.” That was the summing up by committee chair Eugenie Sage after hearing presentations on the Resource Management (Enabling Housing Supply and Other Matters) Amendment Bill from those councils this week. The Government announced last month it would introduce legislation to increase housing supply in New Zealand’s five largest urban areas: Auckland, greater Hamilton, Tauranga, Wellington and Christchurch. The requirements would
enable landowners to build up to three houses of up to three storeys on most sites in those tier one cities without the need of a resource consent. Waipā mayor Jim Mylchreest and Waikato deputy mayor Aksel Bech both submitted the bill captured towns in their districts as tier one cities which they believed the bill did not intend to do. Those towns include Te Awamutu, Kihikihi, Cambridge, Ngaruawāhia, Taupiri and Tuakau. “Towns are not little cities,” Mylchreest said. “The bill should be clarified to refer specifically to the tier one urban environments of the five major cities of New Zealand: Auckland, Hamilton, Tauranga, Wellington and
Christchurch and they should not apply to the tier three urban environments of surrounding towns.” The Waipā towns were not dormitory suburbs of Hamilton and function as independent service towns for the surrounding dairy farming rural areas, he said. “Waipā District Council has had an effective growth strategy which has been in place since 2009. “It has been successful in identifying and enabling the staged release of growth cells for the future development of residential and business areas that will accommodate projected population growth beyond 2050. “This strategic planning has enabled the council to coordinate the forward funding and installation
of bulk infrastructure in tandem with development demand.” Mylchreest said he and the council were concerned about the unintended negative consequences of “ad hoc intensification” on the amenity and character of the existing suburban living environments in Waipā towns. “Without wanting to disclose confidential information, the council is liaising with Kāinga Ora and private developers to better deliver a mix of affordable housing in our towns,” said Mylchreest. Later in the hearing, Waikato Regional Council’s Pamela Storey said Waikato appeared to be an “after thought”. The council’s submission aligned with other submissions made
by the other Future Proof Waikato councils (Hamilton, Waipā and Waikato). “Much of the focus of the bill appeared to be on Auckland and Wellington, and there seemed no clear understanding of Waikato’s unique environment, including the Waikato River,” she said. Sage (Green Party) joined Anahila Kanongata’a (Labour), Tamati Coffey (Labour), Scott Simpson (National) and Simon Court (ACT) to hear from Mylchreest, Bech, Linda Te Aho (Tainui) and Ryan Hamilton (Hamilton), The parliamentary Environment select committee conducted days of urgent hearings on the bill and finished on Monday. It will report back to Parliament on 2 December.
Quarry company makes pledge By Mary Anne Gill
The company behind a proposed giant quarry on the outskirts of Cambridge says it will ensure the development is sensitive to the surrounding environment. RS Sand director Ben Hussey was responding to residents’ claims the quarry, 2kms east of the town, would result in health and environmental problems. Details of the development, revealed exclusively in The News last week, took Cambridge by surprise and resulted in letters to the editor, social media comments and a television news item. Hussey said the quarry was needed to meet demand for sand used in developing upper North Island infrastructure and communities. The quarry would employ up to 10 people and have a life of 25 years. RS Sand is a joint venture between Stevenson and Revital groups. “There is a detailed consent process underway. An important part of this process is consultation with immediate neighbours and other affected parties, and development of a dust management plan. “We welcome the input of the community in which we live and
Exploratory work has already started at the site of the proposed quarry.
operate,” said Hussey. The quarry would include a threemetre-high bund planted with native plants to screen the site. The developers would plant 10 hectares of native forest, rehabilitate wetlands and protect riparian zones alongside Karāpiro Stream. “This is part of our commitment to the broader community, to improving biodiversity, sequestering carbon, and to improving water quality,” he said. Rhys Powell, who lives in French Pass Road adjacent to the proposed quarry and was a senior manager
at a multi-billion-dollar mining company in Western Australia before moving to New Zealand, said operating a large open cut mine so close to Cambridge was crazy. “It is the size of a 56-acre pit with 10 acres of storage – significantly bigger than anything else around and so close to town with no buffer zones to protect the waterways,” he said. “They are also wanting to extract 1.2 million litres of ground water per day which is equivalent to a garden hose filled with water from New Zealand to the USA daily.”
Of major concern would be the silica dust created. The P10 dust is almost invisible to the naked eye and can travel several kilometres and stay airborne for days. “The P90 sand in the ground is not the problem, it is the silica dust and the potential for silicosis,” said Palmer. Among the many emails The News received was one from Cambridge resident Rosie Bentley who said she was concerned about dust drift, road use and truck and machinery noise from the site. “I live just off Thornton Rd near the expressway so would be affected and there is already a lot of noise from heavy vehicles. The wind often blows from that direction.” It would be the second large quarry close to Cambridge. Last year Shaw’s Property Holdings was granted a resource consent to extract sand from a 49.9ha property on Kaipaki Road, between Cambridge and Mystery Creek. That site borders the Mangawhero Stream which feeds into the nearby Waikato River. At the time, Waipā District Council said the resource consent application was a “limited notification”. The quarry entrance is about 400 metres near the top of Walker’s Gully on Kaipaki Road.

Allo allo, station work starts Work is finally underway on the new Cambridge Police base. The old police house has been demolished and earthworks have now been completed on the joint Tainui and NZ Police project. Construction is expected to be completed by mid-2022. The new base, on the corner of Fort and Victoria Sts, will provide space for Waikato Police staff and community groups and local iwi to help foster relationships. Architects, Mark Mawdsley of Cambridge and Richard Mauriohooho of Tamahere, from Paua Architects, were the main project architects. The brief included recognition of the partnership between the New Zealand Police and Ngā Iwi O Tainui which underpins the new approach in New Zealand policing that seeks wider and more effective collaboration with communities. It was important to incorporate the cultural values of Waikato-Tainui, acknowledging te whenua, ngā maunga, ngā wai (awa, roto), ngā tangata - the land, mountains, water, people. At the same time, the new building needed to engage and allow for more interaction with the community; as well as fulfilling the regular functions of a police station. Alaska Construction is the main contractor. Some of the materials from the demolished police building have been used within this new

building. Renata Te Wiata designed the main artwork at the entry wall, which depicts the three main maunga (corten steel) and refers to the Patu Paiarehe at Pirongia maunga (stainless steel strips). The two timber pou at the righthand side of the front entry have been salvaged from the timber extracted from the large trees at the front of the property on the Victoria Street. NZ Police and Tainui Group Holdings signed a partnership agreement in August last year to support the build of modern,
sustainable, community-minded police facilities across Waikato. Cambridge is the first to be developed under the partnership agreement. The whenua is owned by Tainui and was returned to the iwi in 1995 as part of its Raupatu settlement. Waikato West Area Commander Inspector Will Loughrin said Covid-19 restrictions saw some initial delays. “The location is located centrally and within easy access to the main town centre and suburban Cambridge, which
ensures our response to calls for service is timely and delivers the service our community expects,” says Inspector Loughrin. The proposed design has a distinctive, community-friendly design based on a waka ama (double-hulled canoe) and will incorporate many elements reflecting the local environment and community, including visual elements of significance to Waikato-Tainui and use of the region’s Hineura stonework. Tainui Group Holdings chief executive Chris Joblin said the new base welcomes and embraces
the community in a setting that acknowledges the local area, its tangata whenua origins and the town’s unique architectural characteristics. “As an iwi organisation sustainability is important to us and that’s why we’ve looked to recycle materials from the original buildings where possible, including repurposing timber for carving, gifting wood to kaumaatua, and incorporating bricks and timber into the new building.” The primary inspiration for the design comes from water, its importance to life and wellbeing, and the connection to Te awa o Waikato and Te Koo Utu. The concept of the ‘waka ama’ double hulled waka aligns with the connection to water and represents the collaboration of Waikato-Tainui and NZ Police. This idea has formed the basis of the layout of the building. The main waka component of the building is designated as the NZ Police operational side of the building, while the ama component is the more public interface of the building, featuring the whaanau room. The centre component, designated as the main entry, connects the two main forms. The shape and orientation of the plan, refer to Maungatautari, Pirongia, Maungakawa, Kakepuku, through the alignment of walls and windows.

FAITH IN WAIPĀ
A spade is a spade… By Murray Smith, Senior Leader, Bridges Church
My Dad sat reading aloud from a newspaper about the capture of a gang of criminals who had engaged in a notorious train robbery in England. Earlier on they had robbed a Glasgow to London Royal Mail train, on August 8,1963. The theft netted 125 sacks of banknotes valuing about $50 million today. It was called the ‘heist of the century.’ While my Dad was not making them heroes, as a 10 year old I gained the impression that he regarded their bold plan to be a bit like an exciting Robin Hood drama. It was far from that. In 1964, nine of the 15-strong gang, including a man named Ronald Biggs, were jailed for the crime. Most received sentences of 30 years. Biggs served 15 months before escaping on 8 July 1965, scaling the prison wall with a rope ladder and dropping onto a waiting removal van. He fled to Brussels by boat then messaged his wife to join him in Paris where he had acquired new identity papers and was undergoing plastic surgery. In 1966, Biggs entered Australia as a ‘regular’ suburban father with his family but that was short lived. News that the police and Interpol were closing in on him in 1967, just after their third child was born, deeply unsettled him so he left family, fleeing to Panama. In 1970, Biggs arrived in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, at a time when no extradition treaty existed with the United Kingdom. Biggs reportedly lived a ‘party lifestyle’ beyond the reach of British justice. For 35 years he was always looking over his shoulder wondering when his past would catch up with him. Illegitimately glamorised,

he hustled through life like a wannabe celebrity, his share of ill-gotten gain long gone, far from free - in a prison of his own making. There is a propensity within us humans to exonerate, even admire wrong behaviour- implying it’s ok ‘if you can get away with it and nobody is hurt’. As with Bonnie and Clyde the maverick persona is whitewashed as merely a bit ‘edgy’. But let’s call a spade a spade. Nobody ever gets away with wrongdoing. Ronald Biggs created pain and suffering with his choices that was far from glamorous. It can only be imagined, the mammoth damage he did to others, his family and of course to his own conflicted inner world, always wondering when the day of reckoning might arrive. In the Bible’s Book of Proverbs it says, “The way of transgressors is hard.” To transgress means ‘to overstep a boundary.’ It’s a word similar to ‘sin’… something we’re all guilty of one way or another. Our transgressions steal peace, bringing fear of retribution. Acknowledging our sin to God and receiving His forgiveness is the only way to freedom. Something prompted Biggs to voluntarily return to England and face imprisonment in 2001. Released as a dying man in 2009 he did not have long to live. Unable to speak, Biggs son expressed his father’s regret and desire to ‘go back in time’. Maybe Ronald Biggs found forgiveness and peace. I hope so.

NO PLANET B
Well, Nancy that… By Peter Matthews
Kermit said “It’s not easy being green” and he’s right. The wife tells me I have been a bit negative today and she’s right too. Of course my view is that I am entirely justified in my opinions; some days things are just plain annoying. Let’s see what you think. We’re all supposed to wear masks when out in public, particularly indoors. I’m forever having to go back to the car to get my forgotten mask. But what’s with the people who insist on having their nose poking out over the top of it? What’s the point of that? Nobody likes wearing a mask but for heaven’s sake keeping your aerosol spreading nose out in the open while supposedly doing your bit seems a little cynical - not to mention silly. We recently paid the equivalent of a dollar a day for a year for a worm farm only to discover you don’t get any worms with it. That’s like ‘Battery not included’ thanks very much. Actually the lovely salesperson at the shop arranged for her colleague to give us a container full of worms from his farm - but apparently it’s still going to take 8 - 9 months to get up to a working population. Grated cheese in a plastic packet - that’s pretty annoying - more like an ecological clod-hopper than the light footprint on the earth we should be striving for. Brazil and their Cop26 performance - also rather annoying. I was brought up to tell the truth and not to break promises. If I tell Inland Revenue I made less money last year than I actually made I could be in big trouble.
Brazil have promised to eliminate illegal deforestation by 2030, even going so far as to claim they can do it by 2028. Is that right? How come de-forestation was up 22% last year? Way to go Bolsonaro. Watch that deforested space. Then there’s the Australian reporter who flew with two colleagues from Australia to England to interview Adele about her new album. Sony indignantly withheld footage of the interview when it turned out that the Aussie reporter hadn’t actually listened to the album. Adele is alright though; she gave a nice interview to Oprah in which she talked about how she dealt with mental health issues on days when she had no other plans by going to the gym with her personal trainer. So glad she made it through. She must be an inspiration to the many people who have to deal with mental health issues at the same time as getting to the end of one busy cash-strapped day after another. And do we really need three TV ads for oversized utes in one break? With a nice deep gravelly voice-over to make the wannabe ute owners feel manly as they contemplate the purchase of a vehicle which will do nothing to enhance their or their children’s future - and will very likely damage it. Actually the term she used was ‘Negative Nancy’ - that was quite annoying too.

On Tuesday of this week, I had reason to drive over the Kaimai Hill twice – on a very warm and muggy day. And along with all the car drivers who are entitled to a road speed of 100 Km per hour I struggled behind a huge queue of very large trucks most of which would have been destined for or from the Port of Tauranga. Or working with Tauranga-based industries where the base product, certainly of imports, would have crossed the wharves. Include in that the large number of crawling logging trucks labouring up the steep slopes, albeit being well ordered in the way they use the long truck passing bays. The reason I bring this to your attention is that just about every one of those trucks would have passed through – or very close to – Cambridge. And for that matter Te Awamutu too. And those with the King Country and Taranaki at one end of their journey would be very much the beneficiaries of a third bridge at Cambridge. However, it can also be argued that those trucks will, within a few years, be able to join SH1 near Tamahere when the planned Southern Link bends its way under the southern end of Hamilton. Coincidental with this was that this evening I took part – or at least watched and listened to - a very interesting webinar on my computer screen. The three presenters (two of whom I have worked with) put the case that increasing container ship sizes will drive the ports of both Auckland and Tauranga to reach their limits within 10 years. They argued the sheer size of the required ships (hitherto never seen in this country) will very much slow down the ship exchange rate due to the height of
the stacked containers, the width of the ships underpinned by the current pavement strength of the wharf surface that will not support what we may wish to call ‘super’ cranes. The webinar postulated that both ports should be regarded – in container terms – of having limited lifespans. And that both could - and perhaps should – be replaced with a whole new structure in the Manukau Harbour. That siting will markedly reduce ship steaming times and also materially shorten the transit time of container vessels to points south. That would alleviate the over-utilised roading system, bringing into question the need for replacement rail ferries. Back here on the local scene I have not seen the traffic flow statistics of truck traffic in the vicinity of the eastern end of Kaipaki Road. The Waipā District Council will certainly have that measure and the information is publicly available on the web. But, and not to deeply disappoint the proponents for a third bridge, would this become necessary if the enormous weight of trucks that currently stagger/roar along Pope Terrace were replaced by coastal ships? Incidentally the webinar also neatly packaged a great saving in carbon-based fuel emissions per tonne/kilometre. Opinion pieces are only one person’s thoughts or observations - perhaps sometimes tongue-in-cheek to kick-start a conversation. or a worthwhile debate. Anything to get away from the dribble we have been hearing about traffic lights (of the non-roading variety)!

‘In it for a long haul’ By Benjamin Wilson
A father of three has a long road of recovery ahead of him after a tree branch fell on his car earlier this month. Because of injuries to his neck and spine, doctors say Hedley Edwards will never be able to walk again. Hedley Edwards is a sales rep in Cambridge for Giltrap Agrizone. He suffered his life changing injuries after a branch fell on his car while he was driving to visit a customer on Wednesday, November 3. He is receiving care at Auckland’s Middlemore Hospital. It is expected that he will need to stay there for 6-12 months. Samantha Solomon, Edwards’ partner, says the accident is going to change everything. “It’s only been a short period of time and we are going to be in for a long haul.” The couple are parents to three boys, Braxton 7, Gabriel 6, and Harrison 5. Solomon has spent time with Edwards in hospital, but the children have been unable to see their father, because of Covid-19 hospital and border restrictions. Edwards was in an induced coma for nine days. He is now awake but is unable to speak because of breathing tubes. “We just have to take one step forward at a time and go from there,” his partner said. Giltrap have been in regular contact with Solomon. “They’ve been really really good.”
They asked Solomon if she would be okay with them setting up a crowdfunding campaign to help support the family. Solomon said that she was initially hesitant to the idea. “I agreed to it once I got my head around the future and everything we would end up needing.” Solomon says that on top of everything, the family is going to need to find a new place to live. Their home in Huntly will not accommodate Edwards’ change of mobility. Giltrap Marketing and HR Manager Sam Ogden, says the support from the Cambridge community has been massive – particularly because Edwards is from Huntly and only worked in Cambridge. “We’re absolutely humbled and amazed that so many people have contributed,” she said.
colleagues and customers. “He’s a lovely guy, a real firecracker.” By Tuesday this week the crowdfunding Givealittle page had raised $45,880

towards a goal of $50,000. The campaign will close on December 5. • Benjamin Wilson is a Wintec journalism student.
Cambridge has lost its Christmas Festival for the first time in almost two decades. The uncertainty around Covid restrictions, and where Waikato and surrounding regions will be at by the start of the festival prompted organisers to make an immediate decision late last week. The festival has about 40 members who give their time from February to December, and dozens more who pitch in to set up and run the Festival in December. President Jane Neilson said it wasn’t an easy decision and there was a lot of feedback to consider. “Our group loves bringing the Christmas cheer alive every year and we’ve had challenges not being able to get together to craft for a large part of the year,” she said. The festival shop, which sees the Cambridge Town Hall dressed up for a fortnight with 10 giant decorated trees, tea rooms and hosting guest choirs will be back in 2022.

• You don’t like the lender you are with. You’ve experienced poor service, problems with staff, or high account fees. • You want to borrow more money but the lender won’t allow it. Perhaps you want to consolidate debt, borrow to purchase a rental property or a vehicle, or put working capital into a business. • You have ‘outgrown’ your existing lender and want to move forward. This is common for self-employed people with a growing business, or for investors with an increasing portfolio. • Your lender has asked you to refinance. You may be in arrears with mortgage repayments or you need to restructure your mortgage. Refinancing can involve costs such as break fees from the existing lender, solicitors’ fees, valuation charges etc, but we can help get cash contributions from your new lender to help offset these costs. At Yes Mortgages, we can outline the costs involved and find the best new lender to fit your current situation from the 25 or so different lenders available. In most instances, our service is FREE to you. Generally the benefits of refinancing outweigh the costs involved but bear in mind: Refinancing your mortgage must benefit and add value to YOU. Let us do the work to find you the best lender for your situation.

Letters… Not for me…
I will be objecting to the application Michael Truscott Fencourt
I strongly oppose the proposal to open a sand quarry as revealed in the Cambridge News. I am a neighbour of Mr Powell and share the same issues. I understand that the silica sand dust can cause cancer, and 52 to 200 trucks everyday would be unbearable. I’ve lived in Fencourt almost 50 years and planned my retirement in a quiet rural location. Cambridge and in particular French Pass and Fencourt is renowned for horses, trees and tranquillity.
The sand facts
I read with great interest your headline item on November 18 issue of Cambridge News. Having spent many years in the civil construction industry and having had a fair bit to do with quarrying and sand mining, I thought I would highlight a few misconceptions about sand mining discussed in your lead item. To call the proposal a
‘quarry’ is misleading. The word ‘quarry’ immediately conjures up visions of rock blasting, dust and noise. Nothing could be further from the truth. A sand extraction operation would best be described as a ‘sand pit’. Fundamentally, after stripping off any surface material, the underlying sand, depending upon its composition, can be dug straight out of the ground and loaded upon a truck. Some sifting and grading could also be necessary, but sand is very forgiving, and any dry areas can be
sprinkled with water and kept damp. So very little noise and little or no dust. But the important issue is the great need for sand, particularly for the manufacture of concrete. It is a vital component. The Waikato and other rivers have, over aeons of time, deposited sand over the Waikato region, but access to significant accessible deposits is growing ever scarcer. The extraction of sand from the Waikato River is history now. Locals need to think long and hard about their possible objection to the

KEEPING MOISTURE IN THE GROUND
A monthly gardening column, courtesy of Amber Garden Centre Vegetables - November is a busy time in the garden, as spring rolls into summer and we see warmer and longer days. It is now warm enough to plant pumpkin, cucumber, courgette, watermelon, pepper, chillies and tomatoes. As other earlier crops are ready to harvest, make sure to plant more for a continuous cycle. Compost and sheep pallets should be used to boost soil texture and nutrients. Herbs - Basil, dill and coriander are short lived herbs which grow well now. Parsley, thyme, chives and rosemary are longer living and benefit from regular picking. Borage is great to plant as it encourages bees and flowers, it can also be used as edible decorations. Lawns - Spray with Turfix to eliminate flat weeds and for Onehunga weed use prickle weed killer. Small fruit - Strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and passionfruit would all benefit from a feeding of sheep pallets. Indoor plants - Spring is an important time for indoor plants as it is the start of their growing season. Now is a good time to check and see if any need repotting. Is so, it is important to only increase the pot size by a little bit at a time and to continue with regular feeding.
establishment of a sand pit in their area. Sand is a vital ingredient in concrete and without it we are all potentially in trouble. As a society, we all need the sand, and shouldn’t allow nimbyism to dictate the wrong outcome. Roading issues can be sorted by negotiation. (Abridged) Roger Douglas Leamington

and the natural waterways. Also, the noise factor. I still enjoy riding my horse down by the Karāpiro Stream that runs between my property and the proposed sand quarry. This stream is full of native eels and other water life such as native frogs, some wild deer come down from the hills and some someone told me they saw some native bats one evening in the trees.

Where are all the swimmers in Cambridge? We have this wonderful new pools complex in Cambridge which is not being used. Yes, we have had Covid lockdown but since last Wednesday the Centre has been open - under certain restrictions. We have patiently waited for years for this Aquatic Centre to be completed but now we have it, we are not using it. I went on Friday 8.30am
and had the hydrotherapy pool to myself. Fine for me! There were two lane swimmers in the indoor pool and two in the outdoor pool. I counted 6 lifeguards and a receptionist - so more staff than swimmers. On Saturday I went in the afternoon with my daughter to swim in the outdoor pool which is heated. There were three other lane swimmers and a couple more indoors. Is it lack of advertising on the part of Go Waipa or the fact that Aquafit classes have not yet started? I really do recommend this new facility we have in Cambridge. Why not try it? Philippa Baker Cambridge

Cambridge Tree Trust
Advertorial
www.treetrust.org.nz
Some years ago Cambridge Tree Trust was part of an unsuccessful campaign to save a protected tree, the old gingko that stood near the Tivoli Cinema.
Do we want more of this?
Developers said they wanted to build a playground there and the fruit of the gingko, which lasts on the ground for 2 or 3 weeks, was too smelly. There is no playground, there was never going to be a playground, the area became a car park. Since then Cambridge has had oak trees removed because of their acorns, titoki removed because of their berries, totara poisoned and removed because they obstructed the view from new buildings, and so it goes on. Trees, like children, are sometimes a nuisance but essential to our survival as a species.
or more of this? COP 26 has finished and once again our leaders have disappointed with little real and meaningful change, but why would we expect them to do more unless we ourselves show the foresight and fortitude to change our behaviour on a local level.
Cambridge Tree Trust would like to thank Mitre 10 for their support for these monthly articles which are intended to raise interest and awareness of trees in Cambridge.

Impressive legacy of support for Cambridge Rotary Cambridge’s 75-year commitment to the community has brought tangible benefits to the town. The early toil of founding members is well matched by today’s Rotarians. Eighteen past presidents are still in the club and they, together with other members, continue their predecessors’ proud legacy through encouraging greater community health, fitness and wellbeing, and the provision of assistance to residents with particular requirements. Within the past quarter century alone, those activities have included some notable milestones, among them the hefty leg-up that helped launch the St John Health Shuttle service in 2015. Rotary Cambridge provided $35,000 in funding for that endeavour, a move described as ‘unprecedented’ by then St John area committee chairman, Brent Nielsen. Six years on and the shuttle has covered almost 400,000 kms ferrying people to and from medical appointments in Hamilton and Cambridge. Brent said: “The health shuttle simply would not have eventuated had it not been for the unbridled generosity of Rotary Cambridge.” In 2016, Rotarian Robyn Cricket’s enthusiasm to bring a

To date, at least 50 loads of wood have been sold and distributed, with proceeds funding other community projects. A special kind of joy is brought to the community each year through the labour-intensive Rotary
Bookarama. When not stalled due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the event sells donated books, magazines, puzzles, vinyl records and DVDs over more than four days, raising funds that live on through other worthy community causes. One of Rotary Cambridge’s most enduring legacies of the past 25 years is one that is no longer active. The publication of an annual Rotary phone book/ directory ceased in 2018. That project, started in 1990 by David Cooney, became the club’s major fundraising source for 28 years, returning an impressive $1.25 million to the community.

Rotary today – fellowship, service and fun led Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) and the Rotary Youth Program of Enrichment initiative, both offering young people experiences to develop leadership skills, broaden horizons and incentivise a lifelong interest in service to others. The club’s association with the Rotary National Science and Technology Forum in Auckland supports the participation of local Year 12 science, maths and technology students, while the Rotary Cambridge Primary Schools Speech Competition takes the self-improvement challenge to an even younger generation.
As much as the world has changed over the past 75 years, Rotary Cambridge has remained steadfast in its pursuit of community service and fellowship. A range of activities ensures that each project undertaken, each success celebrated, adds value to Cambridge’s place in the global Rotary wheel. Fundraising is a core activity. In recent years, and until recent Covid-related postponements, the annual Rotary Cambridge Garden Festival became a stand-out fundraiser, bringing in some $30,000 a year for local charities. Also popular are the Race to Raise Funds evenings, and the Charity Dinners. Held in alternate years, these events offer a combination of well-chosen speakers and spirited guests, with raising funds for charity a key aim. Of the $30,000 raised at last year’s Charity Dinner, $18,000 went to the Pet Refuge New Zealand Charitable Trust, with the rest distributed within the local community. Previous dinners have supported the Paralympics and Riding for the Disabled. When not scuppered by Covid lockdowns, Rotary Bookarama is an annual crowd-pleaser. Members gather piles of books, vinyl records, CDs and DVDs, then on-sell them over several

Their play lists from the 1950s, 60s, and 70s increasingly attract gig dates, with whatever they raise going into
Rotary Cambridge coffers. The band has raised substantial funds over the years, with over $4000 coming in over the past year. Service to the community is at Rotary Cambridge’s core. The club helps the New Zealand Blood Service run local blood drives, assists the New Zealand Heart Foundation during blood

Helping hands around the world Much of Rotary’s vitality can be attributed to each club’s affiliation to a global network that extends to 34,000 clubs in 200 countries with a membership of 1.2 million.
Cambridge’s Roger Hill being presented with his Paul Harris Award in February this year. Affixing the sapphire pin – denoting the second Paul Harris Award presented to Roger – was then club president Bev Maul-Rogers.
When Paul Harris started Rotary in Chicago in 1905, it was to provide an opportunity for professionals with diverse backgrounds to exchange ideas and form meaningful, lifelong friendships.
ROTARIANS ACKNOWLEDGED
By 1921, Rotary had clubs on six continents. Over the decades that followed, its members went on to build an enduring track record in addressing challenging problems, both in local communities and around the world.
Matamata’s Michelle Tanner, District 9930 Polio Chair, delivering the polio vaccine to a baby in Pakistan. Rotary International has played an extraordinary part in almost eliminating polio from the world.
The push to end polio is a case in point. Rotary began its fight against the disease in 1979 with the project END POLIO NOW, aimed at immunising six million children in the Philippines. Today, polio remains in just two countries – down from 125 in 1988 – and more than 2.5 billion children around the world have been immunised. By 2014 case numbers had dropped by 99%, and in 2021 there have only been two cases worldwide.
billion Rotary has raised since the mid-1980s, $885 million has come from the Gates Foundation in the form of matching grants. The Rotary Foundation, established as the organisation’s own charity more than 100 years ago, has directed more than $4 billion donated dollars into lifechanging global projects. Its mission aligns with Rotary’s seven avenues of service – promoting peace, fighting disease, providing clean water, saving mothers and children, supporting education, growing local economies, and protecting the environment.
Supporting this effort has been the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which is committed to matching donations raised through Rotary on a two-to-one basis to fight polio. Of the $1.9
One of the many groups advancing those values is The Friendship Exchange, an international exchange programme for Rotarians who host one another in their homes and clubs. This generally takes place between two of the 540 districts around the world. Rotary Cambridge has hosted numerous visiting Rotarians as part of their exchange with its home area, District 9930, and some members have participated in exchanges to other countries. Cambridge also ties in with Rotary’s ShelterBox New Zealand, which has been linked to the global ShelterBox
network since 2007. Six New Zealand ShelterBox Response Team members work with the international response team to deliver aid to families in need around the world. The sturdy green ShelterBoxes contain family-sized tents fit to withstand the elements, providing people with temporary shelter until a home can be rebuilt. They also contain the tools essential for repairing and rebuilding homes, as well as sundry items that make a house a home. Rotary Cambridge’s global ties extend to the club’s involvement with international projects in Africa, the Fijian island of Taveuni, and Nepal.
In 1957, a decade after the passing of Rotary International founder Paul Harris, the Paul Harris Fellow Award was established to encourage and acknowledge substantial contributions to The Rotary Foundation. Rotary clubs around the world support the initiative, and Rotary Cambridge has seen 59 Paul Harris Fellows recognised over the years. The 1957 contribution level was set at US$1000 – the equivalent today would be over US$9000. The success of the awards as a fundraising strategy is evidenced by the fact that the Rotary Foundation raises more than US$70 million annually, with 80% of that coming from Paul Harris Fellow contributions.

Cambridge’s Imogen Jones spent 2016 in Switzerland. She found the experience challenging, the programme rigorous, and is now in her fourth year of a cojoint degree in Law and International Relations. “It was, without a doubt, the most formative experience of my teenage years. It’s continued to influence who I am and the choices I make. Exchange taught me that I was capable of more than I thought possible.” Jo-Ellen Powell did a term’s Rotary Matched Twin Exchange to Australia in 2009, then spent 2010 in Chile with the Student Youth Exchange programme.

75th Anniversary
What’s in it for you …. Joining Rotary Cambridge couldn’t be easier. Far from being the preserve of just a few, where perceptions once held that Rotary membership was for those with the wherewithal to fund projects, today’s membership centres on fellowship. People can become involved in a wide range of community projects in whatever manner they prefer. Flexibility is key in today’s Rotary world; a welcome is given to anyone caring about their community, keen to be associated with like-minded
individuals, eager to provide a service and up for a lot of fun. Rotary Cambridge is a club that prides itself on diversity – the last two presidents have been women – and attendance is sufficiently relaxed today to accommodate members’ busy lives. Those keen to know more can contact the club by calling 0800 4 ROTARY, via its website (http:// www.rotarycambridge.co.nz/), by contacting existing club members, coming along to a meeting, or through the Rotary District 9930 website (https:// rotary9930.org/).
People making up Rotary Cambridge are an engaging eclectic lot who thrive on having fun while doing things for their community.
Brilliant project reduces e-waste A recent success story for Rotary Cambridge is that of Urban Miners, a not-for-profit social enterprise that masterfully redirects tonnes of toxic e-waste away from landfills.
Such has been the demand for the service in Cambridge that the club has welcomed non-Rotarians to their team of volunteers to help with either collecting or sorting the waste.
The award-winning initiative won a Highly Commended Award at last year’s Business Excellence Awards for its first year in operation – they are also a finalist in this year’s Keep New Zealand Beautiful Awards.
Urban Miners direct the donated waste for either reuse or repair. Where waste can’t be reused or repaired, items are dismantled by specialist third party organisations and their components recycled for incorporation into future devices.
The concept started in 2020, the brainchild of local Rotarians David Blewden and Mark Hanlon, for whom two years’ extensive research into New Zealand’s waste industry provided the motivation behind Urban Miners.
The irony of dumping e-waste into a hole in the ground, then extracting the same materials from another hole in the ground, is not lost on them.
They were horrified at an estimated annual seepage into Kiwi landfills of some 89 million kg of electronic waste, 20 million kg of it comprising televisions, computers and computer peripherals, the rest made up of everyday devices such as electric toothbrushes, microwaves, batteries and the like, most of them leeching harmful toxins into the environment. On finding only a paltry 20% of e-waste was recycled in
The project’s success has seen over 90% of e-waste is now diverted from landfill, with only hard plastic cases currently unsuitable for recycling.
Rotary Cambridge members are tackling the problem of e-waste through an award-winning initiative called Urban Miners.

Garden festival top fundraiser In 2018, the club launched one of its most successful fundraisers, the Rotary Cambridge Garden Festival.
Festival costs are funded through sponsorship, explained organiser and local Rotarian Carey Church, with the goal being that money raised through ticket sales goes to charity. The first event raised just under $30,000, the second over $36,000. A core beneficiary is Cambridge Lifeskills, a notfor-profit organisation offering counselling to local schoolchildren struggling with mental health issues. Carey said the festival benefited from collusion with non-Rotarians Jan Mathers and Helen Haycock in finding appropriate gardens and helping build a database for future events. While the hard work is done by the garden-owners themselves, Rotary club members field much of the legwork on the day. Each festival features at least 10 gardens, large and small, with variety added through an ‘Art in the Garden’ segment featuring
Rotary – a good place to land Rotary Cambridge has helped many a newcomer settle here. When general practitioner Gretchen Bosacker immigrated from the United States, it was her search for fellowship and service that led her to joining the club in early 2020. She and her family were new to town, and as a long-time volunteer with various organisations, she was eager to make new connections and share her medical expertise with the community

work by local artists, and a ‘Behind the Scenes Tour’ which takes people into the working parts of some of Cambridge’s best-known garden-oriented businesses. The first of those tours was at Lilies by Blewden, the second was set to take place at Amber Garden Centre. This year’s decision to cancel the November festive for the second consecutive year due to the Covid pandemic has done little to dampen the appetite for another, and plans are being made to open a couple of the gardens early next year.

“I wasn’t familiar with the local organisations needing help,” she said, “but I was fortunate to meet Cambridge Rotarians Chris and Robyn Crickett and was encouraged by them to check out the club.” Buoyed by the warm welcome from members, Gretchen joined. “I value the organisation, the spirit of global involvement, the fellowship and integrity of Rotary and I appreciate the service opportunities offered, and the club’s inclusion of my family in the group.” The club gained another immigrant in 2020, this time South African Alan van Niekerk.

came here in 2008, a change in circumstance freed up some time. He chatted to Rotarian John Bullick, whom he knew, and joined the club. Drawn to physical activity through his work in the civil engineering field, Alan quickly found his niche. “I like hands-on stuff and working outside … there were a lot of opportunities and for the first year I tried a variety of them. It’s been great – I’ve made a few good mates and feel some satisfaction at doing something for the community,” he said. The Urban Miners project is a great fit with his enjoyment of fiddling with electronics, and he

plans to be a lot more involved in the club’s Youth and New Generation committee once Covid allows more freedom of movement. More recently, current club president Ian Grant asked Alan if he would be one of his directors. It’s a task Alan relishes, albeit conceding that he’s still learning the ropes himself. “It’s really just a management role in terms of coordinating the committee. I hope I can bring something to it.” Enthusiastic about attracting a new generation of Rotarians, Alan admires Rotary Cambridge’s flexible approach to meeting times and fully supports an idea which could offer satellite clubs to fit better with today’s world.
