Fears over liquor plan Lighting the way By Mary Anne Gill
Tainui-owned Māori public health provider Hāpai Te Hauora says a new liquor store in Cambridge’s Victoria Street will target vulnerable people. But because its objection to the Blue Drops application to establish an offlicence facility in the former Guthrie Bowron premises arrived too late, the Waipā District Licensing Committee cannot consider it at a hearing in Te Awamutu tomorrow (Friday). Neither can the committee consider a petition with 46 signatures from St Andrews Retirement Village, or opposition from the operator of the neighbouring Number 1 Motel and several residents. All contacted Waipā District Council after being alerted by a Cambridge News story in July. The committee will hear from the Police and the Medical Officer of Health who met the opposition deadline. Under
The former Guthrie Bowron building could be a new liquor outlet.
the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012, they are required to inquire into any applications. Jeanette Molony, who organised the petition, said the first she and other residents from 65 units in the village knew about a proposed liquor store less than 50 metres from their doorsteps was when they read The News. Two public notices outlining the application appeared in a Stuff-owned newspaper in early June and the objection period ended on June 30. “We don’t always read that newspaper, so we knew nothing about it,’ said Molony. Neither did she nor other residents see two A4 posters pasted on the building’s windows. Hāpai te Hauora general manager Janell Dymus-Kurei said it also learned about the application after the objection period ended. The public health organisation has been calling for urgent legislative change to the liquor act saying it is outdated, no longer fit for purpose and does not reflect current accessibility. "It's already too easy for whānau to access alcohol, given the density of alcohol outlets in our communities," Dymus-Kurei said. The Waipā licensing inspector does not oppose the application and Cambridge Community Board chair Sue Milner said the board was unaware of any issues such as youths congregating, litter, graffiti or noise issues which would affect the application. In its objection, Police said the applicant failed to demonstrate how it will meet the requirements of the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act and had not provided a Business Plan to demonstrate that factors such as locality and supply of alcohol would not adversely affect or harm the community. Police are concerned the proximity
of other off-licences may result in a price war and increase the potential for further alcohol related harm. They argue the applicant does not have sufficient experienced staff to operate the business. The Medical Officer of Health says there would be 12 off licences operating in close proximity. Its opposition also notes how near the liquor store is to places where liquor is banned. That would result in increased availability, competition, pricing and, according to research, increased harm. The liquor store is 127m from St Andrews Anglican Church and near Cambridge Middle School which caters to youth aged between 11 and 14. The Medical Officer of Health will speak to his application at the hearing. The licensing committee accepted Hāpai te Hauora had an interest but the committee “was not satisfied that this is an interest in the proceedings, apart from any interest in common with the public” and declined its application to be heard. In its application, Hāpai te Hauora argued the newspaper public notices did not meet the Act requirements and that because the applicant’s address was not included, the advertisements should run again. Dymus-Kurei said there were other “sensitive sites” nearby where “whānau pray, learn, live, play and work.” Because the area included hospitality, food and takeaway premises, liquor store customers could be tempted to consume it all in their vehicles or on the street, she said. The public hearing will be held at the council chambers in Te Awamutu from 11am. Members of the District Licensing Committee are commissioner Sara Grayson, Ross Murphy, Patsi Davies, Michael Cameron, Roy Johnstone and John Gower.

The Great Asset Discovery
How is it that Waipa District Council claim to have discovered $18 Million in assets dating back to 1947? Where are the water tight professional processes and polices that the Auditor General’s Office signs off on each year, the same processes and policies that should have picked this up! Council and the Auditor General’s office are a complete joke in my opinion, especially, when the Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee points out and I quote ‘We didn’t get it right, but it was immaterial, to the point of miniscule’. It’s this unprofessional blasé attitude that costs the ratepayers, $18 million is not a miniscule sum and it most definitely raises the question what else does this fumbling Council have wrong in my opinion? At least there is one logical sensible Councillor – Roger Gordon, thank you Roger for your thought provoking questions on behalf of the ratepayers. Roger asked ‘how does an asset disappear?’ Roger is so right, just how does an asset disappear as far back as 1947, especially considering two years ago, Council undertook an extensive Audit on the Asset Register, the Auditor General’s Office signed off Waipa District Councils records as being checked and professional processes and policies were in place To answer Roger, anything is possible with this Council. Someone should be held accountable and step down for this fiasco. Hayden Woods Te Awamutu
New bench marks Rotary’s 75th year
A new plaque fixed to a bench overlooking Lake Karapiro’s Flynn Cove is acknowledging this year’s 75th anniversary of the Cambridge Rotary Club. The bench was the anniversary project of club member Laurie Graham, who attached the commemorative plaque to the bench last week. He said the project had been given a boost by Mitre 10 Cambridge who donated the timber. Flanking the newly-affixed plaque are Rotary Cambridge members David Partis and Maurice Marshment, at left, and Laurie Graham.
On the beat with Senior Constable DEB THURGOOD A warning on Airbnb
Some of you may have noticed a Police presence near Lake Karāpiro last Friday. The incident in question was a good prompt for a message to all those Airbnb hosts in our community. Many of the guests you host will be regulars or behave in a totally legal and acceptable way, booking your accommodation while visiting the area as a tourist, or to attend a special event or regatta. There is however a subset of people by whom an Airbnb is viewed as a base for criminal activity. These guests are most commonly associated with the manufacture or supply of illicit drugs, or dishonesty offending such as burglary or theft. So what can you look out for? The people in question usually book their stays online at short notice, often booking and arriving the same day or evening. Frequently, they will book for a few nights and pay in cash. You may notice that while a booking is made for say two people, more people actually turn up, or more arrive soon after check-in. The person who books

the accommodation may look presentable, providing an air of legitimacy, unlike the friends they then bring along to stay/visit with them. If illicit drugs are involved, guests may have frequent visitors and cars coming to and from the property throughout the late morning-daytime and also night, from the time they are checked in. Despite this, you may notice that curtains/blinds remain drawn during the day hiding any activity that is going on inside. Sometimes you may be able to smell a strong chemical or cannabis smell emanating from the property. If you see these signs, what should you do? Police are very keen to disrupt such criminal activity, arrest offenders and deter those like them from coming into the local area. We need to know about any suspicious activity such as that outlined above. Call 111 while the people are still at the property and without alerting them to your concern. You never quite know who you are dealing with (safety first!). Provide to Police
the guests’ details, car registrations, what they have been doing and why you believe their activity is suspicious. We can then coordinate a response. From a prevention perspective consider limiting the ability of guests to book same day, or request photo ID on arrival. Install CCTV covering the access points to the accommodation. The actions of the local Airbnb owners on Friday was spot on. Having become suspicious, they promptly contacted Police outlining in detail what was happening and who was involved. As a result local staff and a dog handler responded, with the end result being a successful one all round. The hosts’ actions no doubt interrupted a chain of activity that would definitely have had negative consequences for our community. We appreciate their assistance in keeping Cambridge safe. Until next week, be vigilant and if in doubt, call us!

Seismic upgrade
Cambridge’s former Court House, now home to the Cambridge Museum, is to undergo seismic strengthening. The building was identified as at risk under legislation introduced in 2017. It was built in 1909 and used until 1979, has housed the museum since 1984.
Heads of agreement
A draft agreement between Waipā District Council and the Cambridge Town Hall Community Trust is out for discussion. It is a precursor to a lease and service agreement, Property Services manager Bruce Nunns told the council’s Finance and Corporate committee this week.
Plan a winner
Waipā District Council’s Long-Term plan consultation document ‘What’s next Waipā?’ has been named the best in New Zealand by Taituarā, the Local Government professionals organisation. Chief executive Garry Dyet paid tribute to the Strategy and Communications teams for developing the document. Judges rewarded brevity, clarity and creativity, with longer consultation documents finishing at the back of the field. The LongTerm plan was one of the last projects Cambridge communications professional Charlotte FitzPatrick worked on before leaving the council. She also paid tribute to Strategy manager Kirsty Downey.
Mayoral fund fights 3 waters By Mary Anne Gill
Waipā District Council will make a $15,000 contribution towards a new group which will lobby government to stall its controversial Three Waters Reforms. Councillors debated the source of the funding and whether it was council’s role to campaign against the water plans, at this week’s Strategic Planning and Policy committee meeting. The government is introducing legislation which compels councils to transfer their three water assets drinking, waste and storm – to one of four new legal entities from July 2024. Local Government minister Nanaia Mahuta says the new entities will collaborate with councils and communities to deliver better health and wellbeing outcomes for communities and protect the environment for generations to come. The $15,000 for the new lobby group, dominated by councils across New Zealand, will come from mayor Jim Mylchreest’s Mayoral Discretionary Fund but when the agenda for the meeting came out last week, the suggested resolution was for it to come from the Mayoral Relief Fund. Before the meeting, The News approached the council to ask what the criteria or policy was for use of the Mayoral Relief Fund and how much there was in the fund. Traditionally mayoral relief funds around the country provide one off financial support for residents after natural disasters or for those in extreme financial distress through no fault of their own. In response, deputy chief executive Ken Morris acknowledged it was not that account the lobbying money would come from but from one set up at the mayor’s discretion. The mayor had not spent much from this fund over the years, he said. “At the start of the current 2021/22 financial year there was $49,112 available to spend with $31,912 of that carry-forward balances and a new budget allocation of $17,200,” Morris told The News. He apologised to councillors at the meeting for the agenda mistake. Mylchreest’s opposition to Three Waters is well known and he wanted to use his discretionary fund. A “grumpy” councillor Grahame Webber said he was unimpressed with the mistake in the agenda. “It is unacceptable the recommendations weren’t finalised
before they went out on the agenda. “That’s not rocket science, we had senior people looking at that. To come back at the 11th hour and have that change, not a big deal. “We’re all familiar with the relief fund, but in my view if we are going to be the home of champions, we should be making sure those resolutions are correct in the first place,” he said. Chair Susan O’Regan agreed. “I’m a bit of a stickler for accuracy myself and your points are well made,” she said to Webber. Councillor Marcus Gower asked why Local Government New Zealand (LGNZ), which the council funds to lobby on its and other councils’ behalf, was not doing the work the new group would do. “I’m not feeling very comfortable about this.” LGNZ tried to influence
the government but entered a memorandum of understanding with the government to work with it on the water reforms, said Mylchreest. “Effectively the group is being formed because they don’t believe LGNZ is representing the views of the community. This (new) group is really formed out of frustration.” Timaru District Council, the driver behind the new lobby group’s formation, left LGNZ in protest at its inactions. Other councils had talked about doing the same, said Mylchreest, but none had yet. “We are elected to look after the best interests of our ratepayers. If I thought we were going to get a more effective and efficient result from these reforms, I would support it, but I don’t believe this is the case.” Waipā had invested heavily into its
infrastructure and the Three Waters Reforms would see the district compensating other areas that had not done the same, he said. One councillor spoke against the recommendation. Andrew Brown said if water services remained with Waipā, the council “may well be able to achieve some efficiencies.” “I do not believe we will get anywhere near the efficiencies that a larger organisation will achieve which means that every water connected ratepayer is going to be paying more and I believe significantly more for their water than they would if we went with the government’s proposal.” Council voted to make the contribution towards the new group with only Andrew Brown recording his vote against it.
Screen gems
Shane Jarrett has fitted out his boutique cinemas with partition screens.
Tivoli’s silver screens are now accompanied by perspex screens. Shane Jarrett is following the lead of a fellow theatre owner by partitioning the twin seats in his three Cambridge cinemas. “It won’t stop Covid but I hope it will encourage people to come back and feel safe,” he said.
The screens – sourced locally - remove the need for social distancing to be so stringent. Tivoli will have the screens in all three of its theatres, which cater for 41, 47 and 52 patrons. Shane Jarrett opened the independent theatre, converted from a former fruit shop, in 2014 and it also features a function area which can cater for 140 people.

Chequered flag falls on 50 years of history By Steph Bell-Jenkins
Cambridge Motorcycle Club must leave its home of more than 50 years because a new subdivision is being built next door. Motocross mum Jen Franklin says she is devastated her husband Nick Price and their children Mitchell (7), and Ashleigh (6) will no longer be able to ride at the Rowling Place track. “Mitch has been here since day dot in a pushchair watching his dad,” said Jen at the club’s final meet last Sunday, just hours before the chequered flag came down for the last time. “Some of these adult riders here now would have been here since they were Mitchell’s age. So many generations have come through here. It’s devastating.” Cambridge Motorcycle Club spokesperson Loren Stockley said the
club had been battling for consent to keep using the venue for two decades but could no longer afford the fight. “In 2016 we were told there’d be a pretty slim chance of getting a resource consent again, but we decided to go through the big process,” she said. “We got the community support, we got submissions in favour, and we really fought for it and we paid a lot for it – we’re talking over $50,000.” In 2016, independent hearings commissioner Andrew von Dadelszen granted the club a resource consent to keep operating at the site for a minimum of five years and a maximum of 10 years. The club was told the consent would lapse after five years if Waipā District Council rezoned neighbouring land for residential development, which has since happened. In September the council granted

an application by Kotare Properties to develop 64 residential lots at a new Cambridge Rd subdivision. “We knew that at some point we would be moving,” Loren said. “But we did think it’d be at least 10 years. It had kind of been touted to us that the development next door would be way off into the future, not five years away, which has been the case.” However she conceded neither council nor the club would have expected Cambridge to grow as rapidly as it had over the past five years. She said the club had not yet been able to recoup the money it spent to secure the 2016 resource consent and had been left tens of thousands of dollars out of pocket. “We’re impacted by weather, we’re impacted by the number of events we can have here, and we’ve been totally impacted by Covid lockdowns,” she said. “So we’re gutted to have had our time completely cut short.” She said Waipā District Council had been working with the club to find a new permanent venue and was grateful for its support over the past few years. “They’ve been really good to work with.” WDC’s manager property services Bruce Nunns said council had looked at helping the club find a new venue towards the end of 2020 but had not identified any suitable council owned land.
A busy working bee
Principal Anita Asumadu with most of the Working Bee helpers.
An SOS to help finish a garden project at St Peter’s Catholic School attracted more than 40 staff and family last weekend. The call was made after 50 native hedging trees and 27 cubic metres of mulch were delivered for the project. Principal Anita Asumadu said, “you could feel the community spirit in the air with the best turnout we’ve ever had at a working bee”. “Not only did we get the job done, but the buzz of working together to provide a super environment for our kids was very rewarding. We even had two Olympic medal rowers turn up - Tom Murray (Men’s 8) and Kerri Gowler (Women’s 8) to dig and shovel.” Following the levelling of ground for their new astro turf last year, St Peter’s Catholic was left with an unsightly pile of soil on their back field. It was decided to design a new “Backfield Garden” and after 40 designs were considered, the school board settled on a plan centred around a giant cross. The project began to take shape after several days of expert digger shaping, volunteered by parent Nick Ross, leaving the way open for ground cover and planting. When the school realised it needed help, the call for support went out. Anita Asumadu arrived with her family in tow expecting about eight volunteers and was “blown away” by the turnout. Further work to come in January includes a depiction of the local Māori history, a shady pergola, donated seating and student designed pathways.

Legends say: ‘give James By Steph Bell-Jenkins
James, pictured with his mum Dianne.
James McDonald is “one in a million” and should be included in Cambridge’s Walk of Fame, says Sheila Laxon. Laxon, who now lives on Australia’s Sunshine Coast, has her own plaque in the Duke St walk, which recognises and celebrates Waipā’s outstanding achievers, for her contribution to thoroughbred training. She was based in Cambridge when the mare she trained, Ethereal, won the Melbourne Cup in 2001. Laxon had high praise for McDonald, who was born and raised in Cambridge and won this year’s Melbourne Cup riding Verry Elleegant on November 2. “James McDonald is a superstar and an absolute professional aboard his horse analysing its temperament and knowing how to ask it for the very best it can produce,” she said. “The Waikato has the most extraordinary ability to produce the very best sportspeople in the world.” Retired trainer Bruce Marsh also supports McDonald being formally recognised in Cambridge. “Why not?” he said. “He’s done everything as a
jockey. He’s won every major race in Australia, I would say. The Melbourne Cup was the only one that eluded him and now he’s done that.” He said McDonald was one of the best jockeys New Zealand had ever produced. “He’s at the top of his career. He’s riding for the best stable, he’s the most respected jockey in Australia, he’s breaking records and he’s still young, so he could have another 20 years of riding ahead of him.” Marsh, born in Hastings, was an elite jockey himself in the 1960s and 1970s. Fifty years ago, aged 21, he rode Silver Knight to victory in the 1971 Melbourne Cup and it’s a day he’ll never forget. “Any jockey who’s won could probably rewrite the race every day of their life,” he said. “It’s just a memory that you’ll have forever. It’s a wonderful feeling.” Marsh rode for eight years in New Zealand, Australia, Ireland, France and Belgium before retiring in the mid 1970s. He went on to train horses and was recently described by Racing News as “one of New Zealand’s best”, achieving a “raft of major wins at home and in Australia”
from his Woodville base before establishing himself in Singapore. Two years ago he retired and moved to Cambridge with his wife Kay. He now races horses with his son Stephen, one of New Zealand’s leading trainers. He was watching the cup on television at home on November 2 and said seeing McDonald win on a horse owned and trained by New Zealanders was “ultra special”. Former jockey Ron Taylor, who has lived in Cambridge more than 50 years and won the Melbourne Cup on Polo Prince in 1964, said he would “certainly” support McDonald’s inclusion in the Cambridge Walk of Fame. “He’s had some great achievements and he’s a good guy himself,” he said. Taylor said winning the Melbourne Cup was the racing equivalent of becoming an Olympic champion. “It just sets you up for life; you get so much confidence from winning it,” he said. “And you’re never, ever forgotten in racing. It’s a life changing experience. I can’t see how winning a gold medal in an Olympic Games would be any better than winning a Melbourne Cup.” Business Showcase
SPARKLY COUTURE BRINGS A NEW CHIC TO TE AWAMUTU ‘When life gives you Monday’ as the saying goes, ‘dip it in glitter and sparkle all day”. By far the best way to do that is to head off to Te Awamutu’s newest little gem, Sparkly Couture in Alexandra St. The boutique offers a range of brilliant, refurbished items of clothing that will make a bold statement about whoever purchases them. It aims at making people fearless about how they dress and accessorise to frame their unique individuality. The concept of embracing fashion to build confidence isn’t new to Sparkly Couture’s multi-talented owner, Tricia ‘Trish’ Shearer. She has made a name for herself by running her service online, and says the time is right to open her boutique. The range is all about inclusion, she says, nothing is out of bounds, nothing too whacky. “I like to see people reach their potential in their own empowerment.

She is also a trained photographer who has styled for and done many fashion shoots, capturing memories for family photographs or campaign catalogues. Her keen purchasing eye ensures that the preloved items she stocks are nearnew and chic, anything from Hollywood
glamour, sleek elegance, sequinned brilliance or pageant style. The store offers a wedding package, with eclectic gowns reflecting a touch of wedding whimsy or boho magic. This boutique is far from ordinary. “We have in stock for all ages, all shapes and sizes … all types of events. There are uniquely styled pieces here, many of them have been worn just once. We also custom make dresses, so people
can bring in their ideas. We will find a way to give it to them.” Sustainability is important to Trish. The boutique is as much about frills, tulle and sequins as it is about making the most of what is already out there. Its spray tanning service uses all natural, organic ingredients, ensuring it is vegan-friendly and leaves no residue on clothes. Sparkly Couture has a full rental service, both online and in-store. It also offers a consignment service providing both online and retail opportunities for people to sell on commission.

the fame’
Bruce Marsh thinks McDonald should join the Walk of Fame stars.
Christmas Celebration at Edmeades Jewellers and Gifts - the little shop that just keeps giving. Thank you for buying local!
Homegrown horseman James McDonald grew up in Cambridge and completed all his schooling here. He began riding races in 2007 and was an instant success, winning Apprentice of the Year and claiming a Group 1 victory in his first season. He went on to win the apprentice title four times, along with three premierships. In the 2010/11 season he became the first jockey to pass 200 wins. McDonald now lives in Sydney and has ridden all over the world, including for the Queen at Royal Ascot. He now has more than 1100 career wins, including 55 Group 1s. This year the 29-yearold broke a record held for more than 20 years by winning 10 races in Melbourne Cup Carnival week. In May he became the youngest person ever inducted into the New Zealand Racing Hall of Fame. Waipa mayor Jim Mylchreest said council congratulated McDonald on his “fantastic ride and win in the Melbourne Cup”. “The Waipā District is the home of champions
after all – and James is certainly one of our champions,” he said. “We are very proud of him and his list of achievements.” To be inducted into the Cambridge Walk of Fame, McDonald would have
to be nominated and the nomination considered by a committee and then council. Information about the Walk of Fame and nomination forms are available at www. waipadc.govt.nz.

i-Site keeps Christmas cheer going Destination Cambridge CEO Miff Macdiarmid is determined not to let the grinch steal Christmas despite the Covid pandemic putting a stop to several major seasonal events. Down the gurgler is the annual Christmas Parade and the Christmas Rowing Regatta, and an announcement last week officially pulled the plug on January’s Waka Ama Sprint Nationals. Miff and her crew are doing
everything they can to support several Christmas initiatives to help boost the seasonal spirit. There is the ‘Floats in the Shop Windows’, a Christmasinspired colouring-in for kids to do and then hang in a street facing window at home, and a ‘Decorate your Letterbox’ initiative. There will also be a Drive in Movie on December 11, with details to be announced soon. A selection of colouring-in templates are available at primary schools and pre-
schools, and at the i-Site offices. A marked pick-up in visitors to the Cambridge i-Site office is helping offset event cancellations, Miff said, notably from people to the south of Waipā keen to catch up with family or take a trip away. “Most common requests are for walking and biking trails, and where to eat,” she said. “Biking is seeing a large uptick in interest, and with the Te Awa Trail fully opening
Clocking on… By Mary Anne Gill
Time has been standing still in Cambridge and Kihikihi - but not for much longer. Waipā District Council stopped winding Cambridge’s iconic clock when the town went into lockdown, and it stalled at 6.09 ever since. Staff stopped winding the Kihikihi War Memorial Clock in 2017 as they were no longer able to safely access the clock winding mechanism. It has been 1.31 every day in Kihikihi ever since. Acting community services manager Brad Ward said a contractor would fix the Cambridge clock on Monday 6 December.
“We are now able to book this in because of the Covid-19 Protection Framework system starting on Friday. “They will be servicing the clock, setting the time and going over some training for the new staff members to ensure we can manage the week-to-week maintenance and running,” said Ward. In Kihikihi, staff have been working with a specialist watch and clock repairer who has experience in the restoration of tower clocks. The clock sits on top of the town’s war memorial building overlooking State Highway 3 and the council has allocated $70,000 for its repair in the long-
early next year, and the shuttle services that are planned, we see this as great potential for Cambridge’s visitor industry. Many people are choosing Cambridge as their base, while exploring the Waikato River Trail, Te Awa and even as far as Hauraki Trail.” Destination Cambridge recently added to its resource base with the launch of a comprehensive walking guide, offering locals and visitors a selection of easy walks in Cambridge and
term plan. Property Services manager Bruce Nunns told the Finance and Corporate committee this week staff identified structural upgrades to the Kihikihi clock’s platforms and the installation of a fall arrest system. Because the clock has not worked for more than four years, it requires a major service and refurbishment. Staff will do the work in two stages: the first this month and the second stage next year. That would include restoration and automation followed by the installation of an automatic winding system along with the supply and fitting of a time regulation device.

Miff said it had been delivered to i-Site just before the August lockdown, and is only now being distributed. She said Cambridge was seen as a great place to shop for the festive season, particularly for those keen to avoid crowded shopping malls, and said local retailers were already seeing an improvement in business.

Vandalism in Waipā Head students named 40 kilometres south of Cambridge alongside the Waikato River. Bulmer’s Landing is a large reserve set aside for freedom camping. Council staff had to carry out an extensive repair programme in time for the summer.
By Mary Anne Gill
Vandalism continues to be a major issue at Waipā facilities throughout the district. Vandals hit sites hard from July at Kāniwhaniwha Reserve, Pukemako and Bulmer’s Landing, Community Services acting manager Brad Ward told the Strategic Planning and Policy committee meeting this week. “Neighbouring residents are losing patience with the ongoing damage and antisocial behaviour,” he said. Vehicles ripped up turf at Bulmer’s Landing, about
Security improvement projects to avoid vandalism are also underway at Pukemako and Gaslight Theatre in Cambridge and at Bulmer’s Landing. Security includes new bollards and gates, security cameras and speed bumps.

NO PLANET B
THE AGE OF REASON
Valuing our resources
A time for reason
I wrote, a couple of weeks ago, of my boatbuilding escapades and the large Kauri beams which sit on the floor of my garage pending incorporation into the structure of the boat. Shortly after publication I received a message from a reader (Thanks Paddy) recommending I get hold of a book called “Quest For The Kauri” by E.V. Sale. A week or so later, thanks to the wonders of online shopping, I am the new owner of a copy which was once part of the Titirangi branch of the Waitemata Public Libraries. It still has the card in the back and was last taken out on 27th November 1989. I’ve learned a lot from it so far. When the Royal Navy found kauri in New Zealand, they appointed agents whose sole job it was to source the wood for masts and spars. The famous topsail schooner Huia was built at Aratapu and launched in 1894. Her keel was a single length of kauri especially cut to a length of 33.5m in the Kaipara Forests. Unfortunately she went up in flames in 1951. The thing that stands out though, is quite how much wood was taken from the ancient forests of the upper North Island. With little concern over the damage inflicted on the natural landscape, much of it was clearfelled to make way for farmland upon which the subsequent prosperity of this country was built. Early settlers were promised a grant of 40 acres if they paid their own passage to New Zealand. Often, they would arrive to find it completely covered with trees, of which only one species was of any use to them. In those days only substantial trees were seen as desirable, in fact rimu, kahikatea, totara, and puriri were routinely burned off as
As we lurch – there is no smooth pathway – towards the much-heralded traffic lights system there has been a flurry of electronic (in the main) activity to download the My Vaccine Pass to mobile phones. Firstly, I thought I was downloading an app. And indeed (twice) appeared to do and felt pleased with myself. But the next morning both had disappeared from my phone. So, I then undertook some IT-type digging to ascertain that it is not an app and that it is supposed to reside inside a wallet (Apple folk) and Google Pay (Android people). So armed with this superior knowledge I opened my Android unit with a flourish and looked on the screen for Google Pay. Several times. But this did not exist on my very modern machine so back to the drawing board to firstly find the beast and paste it onto the phone. Success – and the appearance of the ‘thingy’ into that area followed swiftly thus arming me to be socially acceptable in a vast number of commercial establishments, sports stadiums, churches, eating places and (hopefully) nice wine bars. At the same time, I made a major study of the traffic lights which are very much aligned with behavioural rules depending on the colour currently enforced in the area. There will clearly be breaches in all geographic centres and one wonders what the inspection cost is to the owners of establishments arising Phoenix-like from the ashes of their much-closed-down businesses? And what of those who, for whatever reason, are not accepting the government’s dictum (or rather plea) that they engage

having no value. The Kauri would be used for houses, dams, ships, bridges, railways, even paving blocks. From the supposedly enlightened vantage point of the present, that initial, rampant exploitation of the land might seem illjudged, even vandalistic. At the time it must have looked much more like a joyful and exciting embrace of the abundant resources which were being discovered. Such is often the nature of progress: we jump in and use up the good stuff and then bemoan the lack of it when it’s gone. The problem with cutting down big trees is that it takes so long to grow them. I’ve got another book somewhere on the subject of sustainable forest management in New Zealand, and that talks in terms of cycles of 500 years. You’ve got to be seriously forwardthinking to be working to that kind of plan. Perhaps the coming changes in farming and food production will allow for more land to be reforested in years to come. Even so, you don’t have to travel far, even in Cambridge, to see young Kauri ONLY PLANET busy growing along with many other native species. I can scarcely imagine the town over which they might one day tower.
in needlework-like skin puncturing? Clearly, they will not be permitted inside some establishments. Even in the retirement village industry there are rules emerging for the have and have-nots as to their freedom to enjoy what are technically part of their homes. Are we rushing headlong into creating a two-tier society where a proportion – which looks like heading toward 8 to 10 per cent – are to be treated as social pariahs? Moreover, how will those feeling that they have done their social duty recognise them? Recollections of pre-war ghetto recognition in Poland will not be workable here. We are told that those who have been double vaccinated can catch the virus – and thus, I assume, transmit it onwards. If 90 per cent of the population has taken the dual needles then mathematically there is a higher chance of picking up the virus from that high factor of the population. It is time for sweet reason and understanding. While I abhor some of the lunatic public antics of those who either are not vaccinated (or decline to declare it) the majority of those feeling aggrieved have a right to a view. They also need a degree of social understanding and not any form of puerile rejection. We have a government that has, and still is, going through rough and uncharted waters. I doubt if any politicians of any party would have behaved any better. This is not a political football – it is about life or death.

Water tower work
Preliminary strengthening work on the historic water tower in front of Resthaven Resthome in Cambridge is underway. Waipā District Council staff have brought in structural experts to provide a set of drawings and methodology for the removal of the
corroded steel work and water tank. The tank itself is brick lined and weighs about 20 tonnes. Plans were sent to Heritage NZ for approval as the Water Tower is an A listed historic building. It was built in 1903 for £1077 and closed 23 years later.

Obituary – BRUCE JEANS 1.02.1926 – 16.11.2021
Farewell to a family man By Viv Posselt
Bruce Jeans, a gentle giant of a man with solid family values and a fine hand at lawn bowls, was farewelled last week at the church where most of his significant life moments unfolded. It was at St Andrew’s Church in Cambridge that Bruce was christened. It was there in February 1950 that he wed Phyllis Mitchell, the girl he met at tennis, and there he later walked their daughter Bronwyn down the aisle. Bruce had a hand in the church’s renovations and was a sometime vestryman, and it was at St Andrew’s that he farewelled Phyllis after she died. For most of his 95 years, Bruce lived in this district… farming, rabbiting, playing sport, eeling, building and crafting wood, honing a deep instinct for all living things. He was born in Cambridge in February 1926 and grew up on a farm in Whitehall. He and his siblings either walked to the local school or caught a ride on the cream lorry before Bruce left to board at New Plymouth Boys’ High. It was there he refined his sporting skills. He was later invited to play for Cambridge United Rugby Club by the then coach and local policeman, Fred Solly, and in 1944, played in the Cambridge Junior Rugby representative team which won the Waikato-wide Bryce Cup. Circumstances led Bruce into a farming life. Soon to join him, and with farming chops of her own, was Phyllis Mitchell, the girl he met at tennis after

the war ended and whom he married at St Andrew’s in 1950. They moved into a cottage on the farm and went on to have three children, Michael, Neville and Bronwyn.
Speaking at last week’s service, Bronwyn described her father as an outstanding role model, ever the gentleman with a quiet faith, ready smile and sense of humour. “He was a man who gave generously of his time, friendship and devotion, especially to family. He was a keen observer of the world around him, and while he was not overly-demonstrative, he always had loads of hugs and kisses for his grandchildren.” Bruce built his own house, then a boat from plans he ordered in. When retirement loomed, Bruce and Phyllis moved into Cambridge from where they travelled extensively and Bruce indulged the other great love in his life – lawn bowls, played mostly at Leamington Bowling Club. In recent years, he was often seen accompanying his son Michael on many of the photographic assignments that earlier this year saw Michael recognised with a Cambridge Community Board Community Service Award celebrating his status as ‘the town’s unofficial photographer’. Bruce glowed with a quiet pride on those occasions. His grandchildren made mention of an abiding loyalty when speaking of their grandfather earlier this week. “He was always a giant … like a tree he provided shelter and a sense of permanence,” said Bruce’s eldest grandchild, Karena Moffat. “He was a do-er of a man … so many of us have items he made or have been gifted with his time.”

Obituary – STEPHEN STRATFORD
The happiest city escapee By Mary Anne Gill
Editor, writer and manuscript consultant Stephen Stratford was so well known in the Cambridge cafés he frequented that before he had sat down, his favourite short black coffee had already been delivered to the table. Whatever café he was at became his office for the morning and it was there he would sit with a manuscript editing yet another author’s work. Stratford, 68, died of a heart attack at his Cambridge home recently. Tributes poured in from around the country for the prolific author and editor including one from modernist scholar Sarah Sandley who said Stephen had played a significant role in works by many of New Zealand’s most important authors. They included Ranginui Walker, Vincent O’Sullivan, Brian Turner, Brian Brake, Graeme Lay, Karyn Hay, Nikki Crutchley and more recently former National Party leader Judith Collins. Cambridge-based Nikki said Stephen was always so encouraging and generous with his time. “He did so much for the literary community of New Zealand,” she said on Twitter. Stephen was born in Tauranga and attended Tauranga Boys High School before moving to Auckland. He started editing books for Oxford University Press in 1983 and worked freelance with time out in journalism to be deputy editor of Metro (1986-93), editor/ publisher of the books/arts monthly magazine Quote Unquote (1993-7) and editor of Architecture NZ (1998-2001).
As an author, he published 19 books, all but one non-fiction: the most recent Crosson Clarke Carnachan Architects and New Zealand’s Gift to the World: the youth justice Family Group Conference (both 2014). He also edited Love Waipā: 150 Great Things. People and places make Waipā a desirable lifestyle and business location, published by the Cambridge and Te Awamutu i-Sites in 2014. He recently wrote about the dark arts of book editing. “When meeting someone new, the question I most dread is, ‘What do you do?’ It is really hard to answer. As a freelancer, I do lots of different stuff – writing manuscripts, assessing manuscripts, editing manuscripts. I never call myself a writer – at best I am an author; it is too tedious to explain what assessing manuscripts means.” Stephen moved to Cambridge in 2008 with wife Sarah Fraser and daughters Madeleine and Sophia. The family wanted to escape Auckland and they did not want the girls to grow up as city girls. No chance of that. Madeleine now 19 and Sophia 18, attended Goodwood, Cambridge Middle and Cambridge High schools. “Stephen loved it in Cambridge from day one. From the kids hurdling hay bales at the Goodwood cross-country to our wonderful street community and the friends we’ve made. “He’d return to Auckland for work occasionally, and each time would come home saying how glad he was to live in Cambridge, appreciating the lack of traffic and our fantastic community,” said Sarah. He wrote in one of his regular blogs
that people would often ask him: “how do you find living in Cambridge, population 18,400, after living for so long in Auckland, population 1.5 million?” Then he would publish the police reports from the community newspaper with their reports of petty crime. When one of his readers questioned a report of a domestic incident in Luck at Last Road saying Stephen had made the name up, he published a photo of the road sign with Mt Maungatautari noting that it was a No Exit road. “Make of that what you will,” he told readers His report of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s visit to Cambridge in 2012 was classic Stephen Stratford. There was a massive turnout, to his chagrin as he was a republican. “There were 18,000 people in the streets and another 2000 at the Avantidrome, a nearby cycling arena. For a town of 17,000, that’s quite a turnout, considering how many people were sitting quietly, unroyally, unflagwavingly at home. People like me.” Other than that experience, Stephen was very happy in Cambridge, said Sarah. “He really appreciated our wonderful community.” He became firm friends with Hamish Wright at Paper Plus and enjoyed his company, sharing book-trade gossip and literary discussions. Stephen Stratford was a judge of the national book awards six times, was vicepresident of the NZ Society of Authors and was a foundation member of the NZ Association of Manuscript Assessors. He edited this year’s non-fiction winner of the Ockham Book Awards, Vincent O’Sullivan’s
biography of Ralph Hotere, “The Dark is Light Enough”. His memorial service will be at St Andrew’s Church in Cambridge tomorrow (Friday).

Many years ago in Russia a respected leader who had brought great military advances to his people, introduced firm laws to curb wanton crime and disorder. For stealing a loaf of bread, a guilty party would be tied to a whipping post and flogged to within inches of their life - many would not survive. One day the leader’s lieutenants brought news to him that someone had been caught stealing bread. Testing his reaction they asked, “Does the crime incur the penalty stated regardless of who committed the act?” To be just, his answer had to be “yes”. At that point the man’s elderly mother was presented to him as the culprit. Horrified, he gasped, realising there was no way his guilty mother could be absolved from the prescribed punishment. The dilemma of being compelled by love to pardon her, yet at the same time upholding justice weighed heavily on him. Stripping off to the waist the leader said, “I will pay the price- tie me to the whipping post.” I recall similar true stories that I
have read over the years. One that left a lasting impression on me is the account of the Death Railway. During World War 2, Japan invaded Thailand (Siam) which was officially neutral. The invasion opened up access to Malaysia, as well as Singapore and Burma (now Myanmar) which were British colonies. Japan sought to create a transport route overland into India, reducing reliance on sea transport. The Death Railway was their answer- this now infamous construction which included the ‘Bridge over the River Kwai’ used forced labour of hundreds of thousands of civilians from South East Asia and prisoners of war from the Allies’ forces. Some 60,000 soldiers experienced dreadful hardship with disease, food shortages, and no medical care taking the lives of an estimated 13,000 prisoners of war. One day as work concluded, a detail of prisoners was assembled as picks and shovels were turned in. Japanese guards noticed an implement was missing. Fearing a pick could be used as a weapon the prisoners were lined up and regaled by an irate sentry
demanding whoever took the missing item should step forward. With no response he brandished his gun screaming, “all die!” At that point a prisoner stepped forward. He was immediately shot. It turned out the ‘missing’ item was accounted for - a simple miscount being the problem. The other prisoners returned to camp soberly aware that the sacrificial death of their comrade had saved their lives. Accounts exist of people sacrificing their life for someone they cared about. But I don’t know of anybody dying for someone who hated them, an enemy, or a stranger. That is except for Jesus, who did precisely that, dying on a cross receiving a death penalty that actually hung over us. With Christmas approaching we recall angel’s proclaiming good news, that ‘the Saviour, Christ the Lord is born’. His coming, meant that anyone recognising their need could receive Him, finding salvation. How we all need this Saviour believe and receive what He offers.
Councils go into bat A collaborate approach between three Waikato councils has been established to protect the country’s only native land mammals. Pekapeka-tou-roa was a controversial, but clear winner of the 2021 New Zealand bird of the year and, are found throughout Waipā. But the small nocturnal mammals are rarely seen, and suburban growth works against them. The Waikato Bat Alliance and Waikato Regional Bat Strategy aims to provide a framework for mana whenua, councils and Department of Conservation to collaborate on bat habitat protection and restoration measures in the Waikato region, share resources, and align policies and planning. In Waipā there are concentrations around Mt Pirongia and in the Maungakawa and Te Miro areas to the north east of Cambridge.
A comprehensive report on the strategy noted the bats were highly mobile and their home ranges were “landscape in scale”. They required mature trees to roost and breed, darkness, productive foraging grounds, fly ways, predator control and large landscapes combining all those features. In and around Hamilton, the home range of individual female bats is up to 1600 hectares and potentially larger than that But a small increase in housing density from one house per hectare to around five houses results in a decline in bat activity by 42%. Waikato-Tainui, which contributed to the report, said planning for conservation needs to be long-term, a minimum of 50 years. Bat knowledge is far from complete and there are significant gaps in
• Cambridge
• Pirongia
• Te Awamutu
Where the bats are known to roost in Waipa
understanding them. “Bats are long-lived, more than 20 years, so they may persist in an area for decades. We can’t yet tell if the widespread presence of bats in the region is evidence they are flourishing or masking a decline in breeding success,” the report says. The report noted plans and policies were put in place when the range and needs of
bats were even less known. As a result, planning and policy in the Waikato region was inadequate to protect bats and their habitat, and a case-by-case approach was being taken in assessing development proposals and resource consents. The region is home to long tailed bats. Short tailed bats are also native to New Zealand.

Peer support unveiled A ‘game changer’
THURSDAY DECEMBER 2, 2021
People living with a spinal cord impairment (SCI) in Waikato have received welcome news with increased support coming into the region. Until October this year, there were 210 active ACC claims for people living with an SCI in Waikato, coming at a cost of $24.6 million. Over the next two years, peer support services will be extended across the country. It is a move that will benefit people returning to their communities from specialist units, as well as those currently living with spinal cord impairments. ACC has invested $1.3 million into the programme, developed by charitable organisations Spinal Support NZ and the New Zealand Spinal Trust. The investment will see a comprehensive peer and whānau support service coordinating a network of about 30 support staff and dozens of community volunteers with experience of spinal impairment. The trusts deliver the country’s only specialist Peer Support services for people with spinal cord injuries at the Auckland Spinal Rehabilitation Unit, and Christchurch’s Burwood Spinal
Unit. “This is without a doubt the most significant support for the collective spinal cord-impaired community in New Zealand since ACC's inception in 1974,” New Zealand Spinal Trust chief executive Hans Wouters says. It would “profoundly benefit the lives of serious injury customers and their whānau.” As of October 31, there were 2235 active ACC claims for serious spinal cord injuries across New Zealand, costing more than $274m so far this year. The cost of spinal cord injuries in Waikato hit a 10-year high in 2020, with the cost of helping these people live an independent life reaching just over $28m. At least nine people have had an ACC claim accepted for a spinal cord impairment in eight of the past 10 years, and eight have had a claim accepted this year. The highest number of new claims in the past decade came in 2017, when 15 people suffered a serious spinal injury. Wouters says the programme will fund existing peer support services at the Auckland and Christchurch rehab units over the next two years, as well as the
development of a community-wide peer network. “We have a very exciting two years ahead of us as we develop peer support services in New Zealand in an unprecedented way,” Wouters says. Returning to homes and communities is recognised as a critical stage for people who have sustained spinal cord impairments, and peer services have been shown to provide more responsive and targeted support; teach skills and strategies that aid a return to independence; and be a positive influence on rehabilitation. In New Zealand, Peer Support actively promotes belonging, autonomy and confidence, while also supporting the development of optimism and adaptive coping. However, current peer services are focused on inpatient support, with limited support available for people, or their families, as they return home from hospital. Under the expansion, which will be rolled out over two years between now and October 2023, peer support workers will be established across every region of New Zealand.
Lee Taniwha became a tetraplegic aged 17 when he broke his neck after jumping into his cousin’s swimming pool and misjudging the depth of the water. The Otara man says the increased support will be a gamechanger for the SCI community. “This investment will allow more people to have Lee Taniwha those important conversations,” the 28-year-old says. Taniwha, 28, says adjusting to his new life at home was by far the “worst time in my rehabilitation”. ACC data shows people aged between 15 and 19 hold the highest number of active claims (361), followed by people aged between 20 and 24 (309 claims). The most common cause of the 57 new claims lodged this year was falls (30), while the most prevalent prior activity listed was “driving or riding”. About 220 people sustain a enew spinal cord impairment each year. Roughly two-thirds of these are the result of accident or injury, and one-third the result of other factors such as disease or illness.
