Meet our two youth MPs By Mary Anne Gill
Two Cambridge teenagers will take their place in the 10th Youth Parliament and one can call on her mother for practical advice. Sophia Goodrich, 16, from Cambridge High School and Meghana Gaddam, 18, of St Peter’s School will represent Taupō’s Louise Upston and Waikato MP Tim van de Molen in Wellington on July 19 and 20 next year. Sophia’s mother Rachel (nee Brighouse) participated in the first Youth Parliament in 1994, as Bill Birch’s Franklin representative, held to celebrate the 20-year
anniversary of the lowering of the voting age to 18. Then it was only an education day in Wellington. Now it is every three years and runs from March 1 to August 31 with a two-day event in Parliament itself. Sophia lives in French Pass Road and says she is invested in her country’s future and how decision will affect her generation. “I can communicate well with a wide variety of people and I enjoy forming new connections.” The community project she wants to undertake in the electorate is to provide free swimming lessons.
She is a Learn to Swim instructor at Perry Aquatic Centre in Cambridge and will give the free lessons herself. “Living in New Zealand means swimming is an essential skill in order to live safely and a basic life skill which can bring joy in going to the beach or lake. “Unfortunately, swimming lessons are very expensive and often those who can’t afford it are Māori or Pasifika the ethnicities that are overrepresented in the statistics for total beach and coastal fatal drownings.” “I realise this is not a widereaching project but it’s something
I can do to personally create change. By doing this, I could potentially influence other teachers I work with to do the same or inspire my bosses to set up a programme.” Upston said Sophia came across as an inspirational person with good positive energy. She impressed the judges including Upston’s son Mac. “What struck the other panel members and me the most was Sophia’s high level of engagement and positive energy during the interview. “Sophia is clearly an inspirational person, and I look

forward to mentoring her in the lead up to Youth Parliament 2022. “I was very pleased with the quality of applications and everyone we interviewed was simply outstanding, especially considering interviews were held virtually,” said Upston. All applicants would have a role on the Taupō Youth Advisory Group. “The group’s enthusiasm for youth issues will greatly enhance youth participation in issues that affect them in our communities.” Meghana lives in St Kilda and is holidaying with family in India.

Meet our two youth MPs
Brothers Peter and Tobias Overwater, seen here with their mum Jenny Overwater, were among 27 youngsters and 23 adults who enjoyed a Wriggle and Rhyme session at Victoria Square last Wednesday. The session was an outdoor version of the Waipā District Libraries’ regular Wriggle and Rhyme gatherings normally held in the library to help parents guide babies and toddlers through activities designed to encourage development and build foundations for pre-literacy and learning. Waipā District Council outreach librarian Dee Atkinson said the sessions moved to a Zoom format during lockdown, and ongoing Covid restrictions limited numbers permitted in the library. Details on future sessions are on the library’s Facebook page.
She was St Peter’s School head girl this year and excelled through her studies and extracurricular activities including volunteering for two years at the Refugee Orientation Centre Trust in Hamilton and contributing to the Model United Nations. As part of Meghana’s Head Girl role, her responsibilities included planning the Waipā Youth Awards, chairing the student executive and leading the prefect team. She intends doing either a Bachelor of Property / Bachelor of Commerce in economics and finance conjoint, or a bachelor of property / bachelor of global studies in international relations and business next year, at Auckland University. Van de Molen said Meghana’s four-minute video, where she gave her opinion on issues facing youth in the Waikato, was excellent and could have come straight from Parliament’s general debate.
“With her bubbly personality and hardworking ethic, I’m sure Meghana will be an exceptional Youth MP for the Waikato.” Sophia and Meghana will join Te Awamutu’s Brylee Gibbes, who was chosen as Barbara Kuriger’s Taranaki-King Country MP, as a strong Waipā triumvirate. The 10th Youth Parliament includes Youth MPs selected by each MP and a Youth Press Gallery which will report on the activities of Youth MPs and learn from the Press Gallery journalists about the key role they play. The Youth Clerk of the House will be at the heart of political decision making, providing advice to Youth MPs, and ensuring Youth Parliament runs as it should learning from the Clerk himself, David Wilson. The Office of the Clerk and the Ministry of Youth Development – Te Manatū Whakahiato Taiohi runs Youth Parliament.
On the beat with Senior Constable DEB THURGOOD Take care over the holidays This will be my last message for the year. Thank you to everyone who takes the time to read my column, for your community spirit and support. I am personally grateful for the opportunity to communicate with you in this way and look forward to continuing in 2022. I hope you find our information interesting and useful. With Ryan Fleming being on other duties currently, I would also like to thank the Te Awamutu community on his behalf for the support you give him. Ryan says, “hey everyone, thank you very much for a great year! I look forward to catching up with you all next year.” Today, to close, I again need your assistance. With Summer well underway we have had a big increase in boy racer activity with groups of 100 or more cars congregating predominantly in our rural areas. Popular locations are Arapuni, Te Pahu, Ngahinapouri, Maungakawa, Whitehall, Te Miro and Scotsman Valley Road. These large groups of cars usually travel in convoy, will park up together and do burnouts for a short time, then move on to the next spot.
Tim van de Molen Your MP for Waikato
Tim.vandeMolenMP@parliament.govt.nz 0800 GET TIM (0800 438 846) TimvandeMolenWaikato
I know there is periodically discussion on social media and elsewhere around locals being frustrated at the noise, pollution and general annoyance caused. So what can you do? The offence of sustained loss of traction (that covers cars doing burnouts, rakis etc) leads to court, suspension of the person’s driver’s licence and the vehicle concerned being impounded. We need your good evidence if we are to hold the drivers to account however. When you see this type of activity, please call 111. Remember 111 is the number you phone when something is in progress, so it is happening at the time and you need police attendance straight away. Calling 105 in this situation may slow the reporting process down. Any delay in a unit being despatched decreases the chance of us catching up with the boy racers where you saw them. If this activity is happening in your area and you can safely get a video without being observed, all good. Remember that your safety is paramount, however. As a minimum, evidentially
we need to know the location, vehicle registrations and descriptions, details of their actions and importantly, we need you to be willing to make a signed witness statement and to give your evidence in court if required. As with all crime prevention, it requires a team effort between police and the community. One final reminder - If you are heading away over the holidays, minimise the signs that your house is unoccupied. Don’t close all the curtains, do leave a vehicle parked at your house, get someone to mow lawns if you will be away for an extended time and either stop mail delivery or have your mailbox emptied by a friend. Ensure you lock up your home and keep valuables out of sight. The same applies when you are away camping or holidaying too. It’s easy to get a bit relaxed about such things when in holiday mode. From me to you, stay safe and have a happy, healthy and fun Christmas and New Year!

Briefs… Dawson flies out
Hamilton & Waikato Tourism head Jason Dawson has announced he is moving to join Air New Zealand as its Regional Affairs manager. Dawson, who has been in the job for more than five years, finishes at the start of February.
Cat’s out the bag…
This week’s Waipā District Council meeting, available to watch on Zoom, was held up for this week as mayor Jim Mylchreest announced he had a task to do. “Could you give me 30 seconds to let the cat out?” he asked councillors. The mayor came in under budget and was back reading the agenda items in just 12 seconds.
Hard line on vaccines
Waikato District Council has announced all staff and a range of others who work in its facilities, offices, or out in the field must be fully vaccinated against Covid-19 by the end of January to carry out their roles. They will not be permitted to enter council workplaces in the meantime unless they are fully vaccinated. Visitors to the council’s corporate offices will also be required to show proof of vaccination.
Caption correction
Blake award winner Reney McClure from Karāpiro School was pictured in the News last week with teacher Tina Turkilsen, not Tina-Maree Thatcher as the caption indicated.
Dutch Day
The Dutch market at Bridges Church in Cambridge will be held on Saturday, not tomorrow (Friday) as previously announced.
Death investigated
Police were investigating the death of a 46-year-old man in a property in Hazelmere Cres, Te Awamutu, yesterday following reports of an altercation.
Driver testing services return By Mary Anne Gill
Practical driver licence testing will return to Cambridge next year and not before time, says Waipā mayor Jim Mylchreest. Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency would not reveal where the testing would take place only to say it would return after a nine-year absence. The agency removed the service in 2012 as part of the Government’s new Safer Journeys strategy. It required a more complex driving test including “multiple lanes and a minimum level of traffic to achieve the level of challenge required. Waka Kotahi started a review two years ago following requests from community groups, the mayor and Taupō MP Louise Upston. Cambridge driving instructor Sheryl Moffat, from Brighteye Driving School welcomed the announcement. “This is wonderful news for my students,” said Moffat.
Many have had to go to Te Awamutu, Hamilton, Morrinsville and even as far away as Tauranga and Whakatane to do their tests. Getting an appointment can take months. “Some of these students have already waited a long time because of Covid and they’ve worked hard, and they want to get their licences.” Mylchreest said it was great to see the community was finally being listened to. “I could not see why it took so long but don’t let us look a gift horse in the mouth. Maybe water dripping on stone does actually work.” Mylchreest has previously told The News he had written to various Transport ministers and even offered space in Waipā’s Cambridge service centre. “They use all sorts of crazy excuses,” he said. “The cost to a licence is cheaper for (Waka Kotahi) but they don’t consider the user costs. Things like parents taking a day off work to
take their children to Tokoroa or Hamilton.” Mylchreest said the drivers had practiced in Cambridge and built up their competence to then have to sit the practical test somewhere else. The decision to bring testing back to Cambridge and in Matamata comes as Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency looks at ways to reduce barriers within the licensing system, Waka Kotahi said in a media release. It also reflects the desire of local communities to re-introduce testing services, says Waka Kotahi Director Regional Relationships David Speirs. “We’ve heard the message from a range of community groups and leaders that driver testing is an important local service and we’re pleased to say it will be back next year,” Mr Speirs says. Cambridge would offer practical driving tests from early next year, with Matamata expected to be up and running by the end of the year. Adding two more testing sites
for the Waikato will ease pressure on the existing sites in Hamilton (at Frankton and Te Rapa), Te Awamutu, Morrinsville and Tokoroa, said Speirs. Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency works to create transport solutions for all New Zealanders – from helping new drivers earn their licences, to leading safety campaigns to investing in public transport, state highways and local roads. Moffat, who does driving tuition in both Te Awamutu and Cambridge, said she could never understand why testing continued in Te Awamutu but not in Cambridge. Cambridge had traffic lights while Te Awamutu, Tokoroa and Morrinsville, where testing continued, did not. Cambridge also had several driver challenges – such as cycle lanes which made for good practical tests. “You’ve got a lot of interesting intersections in Cambridge. It can be a difficult town to drive in,” said Moffat.
Mayor stranded – by one water
One of the three waters scuppered Waipā mayor Jim Mylchreest’s plans to join fellow mayors on the steps of parliament for a protest yesterday. Mylchreest has joined forced with Communities For Local Democracy which represents more than 20 councils opposed to the Government’s Three Waters reform plans. But this week’s heavy rain put paid to his flight plans. “I am extremely disappointed that the weather interrupted my plans to attend the launch of Communities For Local Democracy which is an important event to reinforce to central government that communities across New Zealand do not accept the need for the proposed Three Waters Reform and that the basis for the decision is not based on facts and that the forecast savings are not likely to be achieved,” he told the News. “The appropriation of community assets, built up
Chris Hipkins confirmed the legislation would be delayed. The Act Party has backed the new group and its Local Government spokesperson Simon Court said yesterday morning it planned to meet the council representatives. He acknowledged the present system was “not up to scratch” but said the Government’s proposed
Jim Mylchreest
by communities over many generations, is unjust and the lack of control of those assets in the proposed governance structure of the four proposed new entities will seriously impact the communities ability to plan and develop their areas in a unique way.” The Government announced in October it planned to strip the water infrastructure and services from 67 councils and create four mega-regional water entities. Legislation was scheduled to be introduced before Christmas, but there has been a significant backlash and this week Leader of the House
reforms missed the mark.” ACT says it would provide for councils to enter into voluntary “shared services” agreements while retaining local ownership and control. It would establish 30-year Central Government-Local Government Partnership agreements to plan water infrastructure upgrades tailored to specific regions
and set up Public-Private Partnerships to attract investment. “Simply shifting water assets from one government body to another is a recipe for more bureaucracy and less local input, not an enduring solution to upgrade water infrastructure in New Zealand,” Court said.
Legal challenge over Covid call By Mary Anne Gill
A Cambridge woman is behind a representative legal action trying to reverse Waipā District Council’s decision to ban unvaccinated people from its facilities. Nina Parker, who The News understands was turned away from a Waipā swimming pool because she did not produce a vaccine pass, has launched a Give-a-Little page to raise $10,500 for the action. By Tuesday the fund had reached over $4000. Other Waipā residents also reacted angrily to the decision and have called for a rates rebate saying they are only getting part of what they pay for. Waipā’s vaccination rate continues to lead the Waikato with 95 per cent first doses and 91.4 per cent second doses yesterday
morning. Māori rates are lower with first doses at 82.2 per cent – or another 454 people – and second doses at 74.8 per cent, 883 more people. “We support appropriate safety protocols for these venues for Covid-19 and are of the opinion that where essential services such as supermarkets are prohibited from requiring vaccine passports, so too should public venues fall into this group,” Parker says on the Give-a-Little page. Mayor Jim Mylchreest said the actions put Waipā in a “really sad position.” “Although it’s a small percentage of the population that have got really strongly held views against vaccination, for whatever reason…we’ve really got to look to focus on the majority and looking after the health and wellbeing of the whole community.

“…there’s just no food and you’ve got six little kids running around – some with no nappies on because they can’t afford nappies – I can’t just walk away,” – Linda Roil.
Kids in Need co-founder Linda Roil wraps presents for families who need a helping hand this Christmas.
Filling the need at Christmas
By Steph Bell-Jenkins
A Hamilton grandmother raising 14 grandchildren was moved to tears when she learned Cambridge-based charity Kids in Need Waikato was giving her family a new trampoline for Christmas. “Jumpflex has donated a trampoline every year for us and this year it’s going to this particular family,” said Linda Roil, who founded Kids in Need with her husband Graeme in 2018. “They’re very excited. The grandmother cried when I told her. She just cried. It means those kids are outside with something to do.” Kids in Need offers ongoing support to Waikato children being cared for by someone other than their parents. It lends an extra hand at Christmas time, collecting and distributing donated gifts to its families. “I’ve been talking to a lot of the people we’ve been supporting and a lot of caregivers are saying we can’t buy toys, we can’t give our kids Christmas this year,” Linda said. “So some of these kids would be getting nothing if we didn’t supply something. Our Christmas list is growing every day and we’re up to 450 already.” In Cambridge Kids in Need “wish trees” have been set up at Mitre 10 Mega, ASB bank, CurtainStudio, Reload Coffee Shop, Paper Plus, Bunnies Licensed Childcare and Pre-School, Absolute Coffee House and the Kids in Need shed at 118 Fencourt Rd. There’s also a tree at UK Flooring in Te Awamutu. Children’s wishes are posted on the branches and people can choose a gift to buy and leave
under the tree. “Some kids have asked for some big things, which I’ll put out there,” Linda said. “I’ve got three boys who wanted a guitar and we’ve had a beautiful guitar donated.” Linda said since Covid she had come across a lot of caregivers who were struggling to provide food. “We do network with other charities...but when I go and drop a pack of clothes off and find that there’s just no food and you’ve got six little kids running around – some with no nappies on because they can’t afford nappies – I can’t just walk away,” she said. “So I will go and do a shop for them.” She said there were many ways people could support the charity and donations of money were particularly helpful. Her organisation also welcomes donations of good quality new and second-hand clothing and shoes and new toys and toiletries. “Clothes and shoes need to be clean with no rips or stains and have a lot of wear left in them and we need to know what size they are because the kids can’t come in and try them on,” Linda said. Kids in Needs relies on grants, donations and public support to help children all over the region. “We want children to be valued and recognise their potential,” Linda said. “A lot of them lose their self esteem so badly they just don’t want to be here. They feel there’s no value. So we want them to know that someone cares. And we want caregivers to know there’s support for them too.” For more information go to www.kidsinneed. co.nz

Recovery cash eyed By Mary Anne Gill
Part of the unspent $258,645 in the Waipā Covid community recovery fund will go towards temporary fencing at Lake Karāpiro’s Mighty River Domain. The domain will have temporary fencing until end of April – the area fenced will include the terraces area and the café. The project was one of four suggestions for the remaining money from the $400,000 allocated in August last year to help the district recover from the pandemic. In a report to an extraordinary Strategic Planning and Policy committee meeting this week, Strategic Partnerships manager Gary Knighton said $141,355 was originally allocated in November last year. There had been a stronger economic recovery than anticipated until the Covid Delta variant appeared. “The Covid-19 response continues to be a dynamic situation. With the recent implementation of the Covid-19 Protection Framework the ability to respond quickly to community needs is ever present,” Knighton said. At the request of councillors, staff looked at ways to use the funds, so the focus was on areas of community benefit such as vaccination, community safety and support for the hospitality, retail and events sectors. Knighton said Mighty River Domain
had suffered with several major cancellations including the Waka Ama nationals and various rowing events. “To enable implementation of the traffic light system and vaccine passes, it is essential that a temporary fenced area be installed at the domain.” Committing to that now would give event promoters greater confidence to continue with established events. The fencing is expected to cost $20,000. Commsafe Te Awamutu and the Cambridge Safer Communities Trust will receive $30,000 in total from the allocation. Both organisations said they could make a significant impact with the funding. The two Chambers of Commerce in Cambridge and Te Awamutu have also expressed interested in an alfresco dining proposal. Staff approached Waikato District Health Board to support its vaccination campaigns. “While these have been well funded, discussions with the Waikato DHB have suggested if some funding could be made available for incentives or prizes to encourage rangatahi to become vaccinated, would be useful.” That would require $2000, said Knighton. The balance of the fund will be allocated upon application to Strategic Planning and Policy committee, but if there are urgent applications they are to be allocated in consultation with chief executive, mayor and committee chairs.

Krystle Brough: Joins +MORE Waikato Welcome home to Waikato girl, Krystle Brough Krystle Brough knew she was back home in Waipa when within days of moving into her new home in Cambridge, she knew most of her neighbours.
Auckland became her home for nearly 15 years where she worked in a wellestablished accountancy firm at partner level. The birth of her son just over a year ago coupled with COVID-19 gave Krystle the opportunity to reassess her priorities.
The Te Awamutu born business advisor knows the value of relationships whether it be over the garden fence or in a business setting and it is that ability to build connections which she says will hold her in good stead in her new job.
She and her partner, also an accountant, felt the pull of the Waikato. Krystle’s parents live locally and her sister lives in Cambridge with her newborn twin girls.
Krystle leads the local +MORE team in Waikato. While based in Hamilton the 37-year-old expects to be spending more time in people’s businesses than in her office. +MORE is a business advisory and accountancy firm whose core purpose is to create successful business owners. “We understand that success looks different for everyone. Whether it is spending more time with your family, growing your business, or achieving financial freedom, whatever success looks like for the business owner, we listen and work with them to help achieve their business goals,” says Krystle. “Sometimes people are afraid of getting alongside ‘accountants’ but +MORE are so much more than that, we guide business owners through planning,

forecasting and coaching with a suite of tools and strong partner connections to help grow their capability.” Krystle was born in Hamilton and grew up in Kihikihi. She attended Te Awamutu College, then Hamilton Girls’ High School and graduated from Waikato University with a Bachelor of Management Studies. She majored in accounting and human resources at university and since then has become a Chartered Accountant and secured her certificate of private practice.
When Krystle describes the businesses she likes working with – hospitality, food and beverage, utilities, manufacturing, transport and trades, it has Waikato written all over it. “Yes, that’s why I’ve come back. Those are the clients I’ve resonated with the most over the years. The true Waikato girl in me comes out with the type of businesses I enjoy working with.”
“I’m ready, this is the right time in my life,” she says. “All the stars started to align. The pulls to down here were too strong.” “I’m just really humbled by the community. I’m best mates with my neighbours already. Within a week, it felt like I was home. “Relationships are important. If you are a start-up or an established small to medium business, let’s connect. It’s all about believing in their passion and supporting them on their business journey to achieve their goals.” The +MORE office is now open on Level 2, 286 Victoria Street. +MORE is proud to announce the opening on their new Waikato office. Flick Krystle an email on krystle.brough@plusmore.co.nz – she’s always keen to meet local businesspeople!
+MORE were looking to establish in the Waikato and saw Krystle as the ideal person to have on the ground. “There’s huge potential in the Waikato and there’s a lot of us ‘Aucklanders’ returning.

Live stream: why it's not liked By Mary Anne Gill

No censure plans for Coles By Mary Anne Gill
Waipā District Council says it has no further plans to censure Cambridge councillor Philip Coles over a conflict-ofinterest breach at a recent committee meeting. Deputy chief executive Ken Morris said Cr Coles did not vote on the matter during the meeting. “There is no further action planned other than to use this as an opportunity to further reinforce the importance of the processes in place.” The council had appropriate processes in place to manage and mitigate conflicts of interest, he said. “Our elected members are aware of the guidance issued by the Office of the Auditor General and it featured in our beginning of term induction programme with the guide distributed to all elected members, and senior staff from the Auditor General’s office running an interactive session with our members on this topic,” said Morris. Waipā mayor Jim Mylchreest told Coles at the committee meeting that he was “getting to a point where it’s lobbying rather than information” while discussing a grant to Destination Cambridge. Coles chairs Destination Cambridge which was asking for funds to run a movie night at Cambridge Raceway. The event went ahead with more than 300 people attending. Meanwhile, Cr Coles continues to make or break the news. The councillor credited with revealing the first Covid case in Waipā earlier this year revealed this week Tourism Waikato head Jason Dawson was moving on – and stepped in to help control traffic following a vehicle crash in Cambridge.
make a real difference in our community.” But members felt uncomfortable about debating the applications on live stream. “If can be very difficult if someone knows something about an applicant, that may be considered detrimental to their application and they have to say this in a public meeting. “It’s not fair on the board or the applicant,” she said. Te Awamutu chair Ange Holt agreed saying it was hard to do it in a completely public space. “It would be nice to go back to the way we used to do it,” she said. “We do the mahi.” Waipā allocates discretionary funding to its two community boards and the Pirongia Ward committee. This year more than $70,000 went to community groups and organisations. There were 64 applications for nearly $308,000. Te Awamutu allocated $22,166.86, Pirongia $24,513.80 and Cambridge $25,000. Milner and Holt presented to this week’s district council meeting. Holt was particularly critical of the council-community board relationship saying there was rarely a mention of
the community board’s involvement in council media releases and that without her newspaper column, the community would not know what the board does. She gave the example of the residents’ survey results reported by council. “We did not see ‘only one out of five think council do a good job’ quoted in the article
She urged the council to keep the community boards informed of projects and activities and to give them more time to feedback. Often, they only had four days to canvas the
community – from when the board agenda comes out to when the meeting takes place. “That is not enough time, and we often only have one perspective.”
Sue Milner
but we did see community boards singled out with the statement ‘two in five do not know what community boards do.’ “This was actually 41 per cent, so what about the almost 60 per cent that do know what we do. Considering how much press there is for council compared to community boards, we are not doing too badly. Putting the statement the other way, ‘three in five do know what community boards do’ would reflect that,” said Holt.

Doing the paperwork
The truth about Christmas
By Peter Matthews
By Murray Smith, Senior Leader, Bridges Church
Lots of traditions can be sourced back to meaningful origins. Over time however, many drift into being a ‘form’ with their point long forgotten. Once a tradition is formed, then perpetuated throughout many years, memories can dim as to what actually began that tradition in the first place. Reflecting on ‘why’ we do what we do and the circumstances behind our observance of traditions is worth re-evaluating. I heard someone once describing a young woman about to pan-fry a whole fish. Before she placed it in the hot frying pan she cut its tail off. Her mother observed this and asked the daughter if there was a reason for cutting off the fish’s tail before cooking it. The daughter’s slightly indignant response was that she had learned it from her mother “I learned that from watching you,” she said. “You always cut off the tail first and I thought it was just something that you did to cook fish nicely.” The mother smiled as she responded, “Oh my goodness! I only ever cut the tails off because I never owned a frying pan that was big enough…” That makes me think about how Christmas is celebrated. With traditions galore that go with the season, it’s anyone’s guess where these originated back in the past. Putting up the Christmas tree, decorating spaces with tinsel and lights, kissing someone you love under mistletoe, eating treats like plum pudding, the anticipation of Santa Claus coming (if you’ve been good), hanging stockings, exchanging gifts… on the list goes. But what is the enduringly special element
of Christmas? The clue is in the first six letters. Christ. Therein lies the blessing and magnitude of Christmas. The coming of a Saviour, so needed by all of us. Our culture has exchanged much of this significance, preferring other traditions over celebrating the birth of a baby born 2000 years ago. Yet the birth of Jesus Christ remains the pre-eminent event in human history despite many viewing it as irrelevant to their lives. Becoming secularised and humanistic has had consequences. In 2016 the Oxford Dictionary declared the phrase of the year to be… post-truth era - having observed its usage increase by 2000%. The assertion of our world being in a ‘posttruth era’ has certainly gained oxygen up until today, with its abundance of twisted, misrepresented, distorted and unreliable information. Into a setting desperately needing truth, Jesus’ timeless words echo… “I am the truth.” While leading a small group course explaining what Christian faith really is, I spoke about the coming of Jesus to earth. A young woman in her ‘twenties’ delightfully expressed her discovery realising for the first time, the true essence of the Christmas story. That wondrous account of Mary giving birth to Jesus - the ‘incarnation’ or God coming in human form to reveal Himself. She had observed nativity scenes on cards and in shop windows since childhood, but never connected the dots as to the reality and purpose behind those images. Discovering the reason for the season changes everything.
Junk mail. Newspapers aside, does anyone like it? We’ve recently moved house and there is no signage on the mailbox to deter those who would fill it. According to Wikipedia there are just under 7000 households in Cambridge. I don’t know how many of those allow unaddressed advertising material but let’s work on half. My guess is that the accumulated junk mail delivered to our house each week would amount to around half a kilo. That makes 1.75 tonnes of paper each week; 91 tonnes per year, of which the majority goes straight into the bin. It seems like a waste, but it must work. If it didn’t work people wouldn’t keep printing it and delivering it would they? In my job we are encouraged to ‘letterbox’ areas all the time. The idea is to remain top of mind: You’ve got to ‘get your face out there’. I’m not sure though, is it worth annoying some people to get through to others? In these days of IT and social media would it not be more effective to ‘get your face out there’ electronically? Certainly, in terms of environmental considerations, I think it is hard to justify the carbon footprint of an indiscriminate mail drop. It is true there are endless arrays of servers drawing large amounts of power and generating lots of heat in order to keep the world’s electronic media running, and we all know the majority of that is garbage, but it’s still better than printing it all and then throwing it away. And I know I said it must work but I wonder - does it really, or is it a simple case of momentum? We do it because we’ve
always done it. Not because we’re frightened of change - we’ve just always done it that way. Of course I’m talking about more than junk mail here. We are told daily in a thousand ways about the changes we must make to save our planet. We hear about rising sea levels, melting ice, disappearing wildlife, weather extremes, and yet we still find the time to worry about what colour to paint the kitchen and where to go on holiday. It seems that either we don’t get it, we don’t believe it, or we don’t care. Or perhaps there is another explanation: Humans are an evolving species, as are all the others. We build shelters and we store food, as do some of the others; but how many animals exhibit behaviour which is designed to protect their species beyond the next generation? Despite the fact that we humans have evolved the ability to evaluate the potential consequences of our actions, we are still hard wired to look after ourselves and our immediate families right here, right now. Evolution doesn’t look ahead, it just deals with what happens. Viewed through this evolutionary filter, doing things the ONLY PLANET way we’ve always done them, painting the kitchen a nice colour, and going somewhere nice on holiday seem quite reasonable.

New community board review
The make up of Waipā’s local government boards and council is up for debate again. An appeal has been lodged against the proposal adopted by the council in late October to retain community boards. That has sparked a process which will see the Local Government Commission review those decisions and come up with a response by April 11. The next local Government elections will be in October 2022. The sole appeal received during the appeal period related to the decision to retain community boards in Te Awamutu and Cambridge. The council had earlier been looking at removing them from the political landscape. Council adopted a proposal on October 26 to change elected member representation by cutting the number of councillors from 13 to 11, after hearing from submitters following a consultation period. The council reported community feedback was split but the majority of submitters agreed with Council’s recommendation to reduce the number of general ward councillors from 13 to 10 to reflect the number of Councillors appropriate for a Council the size of Waipa. Rounding up the full 11 Councillors will be the new Māori Ward councillor, which was approved following a public consultation in April. Council received 49 submissions and one late submission on the matter. Community feedback was also split on community boards. Most submitters supported Council’s proposal to keep the Te Awamutu Community Board and Cambridge Community Board structure. The final proposal adopted by Council for
its representation arrangements for the 2022 and 2025 local body elections were: • Four Councillors for Cambridge Ward and a boundary change in the Fencourt and Hautapu areas. • Three Councillors for Te Awamutu and Kihikihi Ward and a small boundary change in the Paterangi/Ngaroto Road area. • Two Councillors in the newly combined Pirongia and Kakepuku Ward and boundary changes in the Paterangi/Ngaroto Road and Kaipaki areas. • One Councillor for the Maungatautari Ward and a boundary change to extend the ward to include Kaipaki and reflect the changes to the Cambridge Ward boundary. • Te Awamutu Community Board to become the Te Awamutu and Kihikihi Community Board, and \maintain the same number of elected members from the same areas (reflecting the small boundary change in the Paterangi/Ngaroto Road area); • Cambridge Community Board to reduce by one member, comprising four in the Cambridge and one in Maungatautari subdivision. Changes proposed for the ward boundaries would also be reflected in the subdivision boundaries.

A new (on)line in plumbing
When Springhill Prison went into a different kind of lockdown during Covid-19 level 3 and 4, their plumbing tutor, Olaf Sparrow was released back to Wintec with a new challenge – to teach plumbing online. For ‘the best part’ of nine years, Sparrow, a former plumber, high school teacher and soldier in the New Zealand Army now living in Cambridge has taught his trade at Springhill Prison along with two other Wintec tutors who teach carpentry and painting. The workshop was always his classroom, but that has changed. “Covid-19 has really disrupted students’ learning and the experience they usually get in the workshop. We’re helping them online, so they are getting supported, he says. “What we’ve been doing is really important to keep engagement happening
to help our learners get through.” Back at Wintec, he is supporting colleague Dan Roling teach the NZ Certificate in Plumbing Drainlaying and Gasfitting. He’s the first to admit it takes a special kind of effort to deliver practical training via a laptop from the kitchen table while looking after two children. It started in 2021 during the first lockdown when he “made a few videos”. He made the most of what he had and involved his children in making a series of simple plumbing videos to ensure students had what they needed to get through. They were aimed at preapprentice level tauira/ learners. And they worked. “I put my overalls on, set up in the garden, my daughter did the editing, and my son was our director. “What I am doing is not
Academy Award stuff. Involve your kids at home, even your cell phone is fine, put it on a lunch box. Use what you have and do what you have to do,” he says. “I’ve got a 9-year-old and an 11-year-old so when they are also having to learn from home, you can’t work all day. You need that time. Accept that it’s not your normal work routine.” Sparrow’s ability to deliver the practical in an impractical way has seen him sharing material back to his students in prison and with other polytechnics. Sparrow and Roling have been delivering a block course to Ara (Canterbury’s polytechnic) online to help their learners with plumbing theory. Wintec team Manager Trades, Amy Opperman was in her new role for just six days before the last lockdown happened with 24 hours warning.
“Before I joined the Wintec Trades team, I’d often wondered how trades could be taught when they had to
deliver practical learning during a lockdown, but it’s been quite the opposite. I could have panicked, but
I soon discovered we are in pretty good hands. I am so proud to be the team manager of these guys.”

Rimmington apologises Waikato Regional Council Chair Russ Rimmington has been censured by elected members for comments he made during an October Local Government New Zealand (LGNZ) webinar on the Three Waters reform. It followed a letter of complaint about the comments to Waikato Russ Rimmington Regional Council from Bonita Bigham, chairperson of LGNZ’s Te Maruata Rōpu Whakahaere. During the final meeting of council for the year, Cr Rimmington apologised “without any qualifications or reservations from the bottom of my heart” for the “disrespectful and inappropriate remarks I made”. Due to a conflict of interest declared at the start of the meeting by Cr Rimmington, the deliberations and vote on a notice of motion on the matter were chaired by councillor Barry Quayle. Councillors unanimously recorded their “serious concerns with the offensive comments” and requested that Cr Rimmington reflect on his responsibilities as chair, and the expectations conferred upon him. The majority of councillors agreed that their decisions in the meeting amounted to “censure and lack of confidence” in him and that “significantly improved performance” needed to be demonstrated. Four councillors, Stu Husband, Kathy White, Pamela Storey and Hugh Vercoe, abstained. Councillors were told a written apology had gone to Te Maruata Rōpu Whakahaere, Waikato Regional Council’s iwi partners and Local Government New Zealand.

Helping each other through COVID-19 With more cases of COVID-19 in the community, it’s possible you and your whānau will be exposed to the virus. To make sure you’re ready, have a plan in case you or someone in your house tests positive and needs to isolate. Everyone who tests positive for COVID-19, and those who live with them, will need to isolate for at least 10 days to stop the spread of the virus. If someone else in your house tests positive for COVID-19, they’ll be advised how much longer they need to isolate. Make a plan
Support while isolating
If you’re travelling and away from home, know how you will get home or self isolate where you are.
It’s normal to feel anxious about isolating with COVID-19.
While isolating, you will need to have all of your food and necessities delivered. You cannot go to work, school, church or any community or private events or gatherings. No one outside of the people you live with can visit or enter the home. Most fully-vaccinated people with COVID-19 are likely to have a mild to moderate illness and will fully recover at home.
Who can help out Be prepared in case you’re exposed to COVID-19. Speak with a neighbour, friend, or whānau about the support you could need. For instance, dropping off food and supplies, and help with activities outside the house. Being ready is about people, conversations, connections and knowing what to do, so your whānau and community can help each other when needed.

Council explains 'tree removal' By Mary Anne Gill
Waipā District Council and Lakewood developers have explained why several trees have recently been felled on Lake Te Koo Utu’s Camellia Walkway. A reader contacted The News and Taupō MP Louise Upston when she said council staff told her they were “reluctantly” cutting down trees at the top of Lake Te Koo Utu for a big platform and to provide views. Waipā Community Facilities team leader Brad Ward said his staff recently removed eight selfseeded camellias on Waipā land that were not great specimens. Cambridge Tree Trust, who have planted extensively along the walkway, were told of the plans before the removal took place, said Ward. “These were removed to allow a walkway connection to be installed from Lakewood to the walking track in an agreement with the development and council,” he said.
Foster Develop Ltd development manager Lloyd Stephenson said his company had recently installed picnic tables on Lakewood’s large grass area outside Hidden Lake Hotel and would extend a path through to the walkway. It was also working with the Lakewood Body Corporate to open an area up so the public could easily access the lake walkways and its views, he said. Further down the walkway towards the east, the council and Engas Developments, who are building 20 town houses, are improving pedestrian access and planting hundreds of native trees on Waipā land. Two new walkways connecting the town houses and Lakewood to the Lake Te Koo Utu walkway network would also be developed, Engas director Steve Currie said. Stephenson, who lives in Cambridge, said he loved the lake and wanted to protect its natural environment while making it accessible to Lakewood patrons.

Michaela Clark, the recipient of the 2021 Altrusa International Cambridge Scholarship Award, is a young woman with a fierce social conscience. Next year, she will enter year three of a four-year Bachelor of Social Work through Wintec. In the meantime, she’s been a regular sight around Cambridge, putting in valuable community hours through coaching youngsters at Cambridge Football Club and swimmers at the St Peter’s Swim School, as well as at both Cambridge Intermediate and Cambridge High schools, and Cambridge Community House. Returning voluntary hours into the community is part of the degree’s requirements for second-year degree students. It’s an element that also meets Michaela’s desire to find her niche in community-based work once she’s completed her studies, and has made her particularly grateful for the financial leg-up that the Altrusa International Cambridge scholarship has given her. Altrusa established a Scholarship Trust in

2008. Since then, the award has been presented annually to an individual in the Cambridge community. The intent is to provide financial assistance for an educational objective, and the scholarship is set at $2000. Wintec student Michaela Clark is Michaela said thrilled with her scholarship. she very much appreciated being selected for this year’s scholarship. “I’m really grateful, it will be a huge help.” Interested in New Zealand’s social issues, she said her original idea had been to join the police. “Over time, however, I thought I didn’t want to be pulling people up for issues… I’d rather be preventing them from occurring in the first place. I have a strong passion for social policy. There are so many people who need support. “I’m not absolutely certain what field I want to work in, but I know I want it to be community-based, preferably in an area where I can help prevent some of the issues developing that could lead to more serious problems later on.” Michaela was presented with her award at an Altrusa International Cambridge meeting on November 25. Last year’s winner, Hunter Ludlum, was also there – both she and Michaela spoke of their work and ambitions. At the same event Katie Nichols-Williams was named the winner of the Cambridge High School Gateway Award.

OBITUARY – MARGARET JEAN WALLIS: 13.08.1938 – 14.10.2021
Sporting passion passed down the line By Viv Posselt
Jean Wallis will be a familiar name to many Waikato sports-lovers. Those whose lives she touched across generations will remember her contagious passion and abiding belief that playing sport helps shape character. From childhood, Jean played and excelled in a range of sports, primarily softball, netball, and indoor basketball. Decades spent coaching and umpiring only enhanced the reputation she had built as a player. She took up lawn bowls in later life, applying the same dedication to that as she had to other disciplines and was soon racking up wins at local, regional and provincial level, including four Waikato bowling titles. Word has it that in Jean’s case, the term sports ‘fan’ translated directly to ‘fanatic’. That reference was made during a private celebration of her life after Jean died in Waikato Hospital in mid-October. It is because of her expansive sporting reach that the family has decided to hold a memorial service for Jean at the Cambridge Raceway from 1pm on February 18, at which all will be welcome. Jean was born in Taranaki on August 13, 1938, the youngest of five children. Jean and her siblings were brought up by a solo-mother in Roto-o-Rangi and attended the primary school there. She later played softball and netball for Cambridge High School, going on to represent Cambridge and attain Waikato honours through being part of the Waikato softball team that won the Bensel Cup and Coca-Cola Trophy at the 1955 New Zealand Interprovincial Championships. A year later, in 1956, she married Ted Wallis. They raised three children at their Roto-o-Rangi farm, with Jean all the while continuing her

involvement with Cambridge softball and netball. Her eldest daughter Dianne Overwater said her mother then took up playing indoor basketball in the local competition. “After her years of playing netball, she umpired and coached local representative teams, and went on to the Waikato sub association as coach for five years,” Dianne said. “She was honoured with a life membership for her contribution to netball.” Jean’s sporting prowess has passed on to her family. Dianne played in the Cambridge softball team alongside her mother, and both Dianne and her late sister Margaret played indoor basketball against Jean. Dianne and Margaret both represented Waikato at softball; Dianne represented Cambridge at netball and moved into coaching and umpiring. She still officiates at netball games. Jean’s son Ian played soccer, and both his sons swam competitively, while both Dianne’s daughters played netball at representative level, with the younger making Waikato age group teams. In the early 1990s, Jean and Ted moved to Leamington. Jean continued with her sporting commitments while also working for the then Cambridge Independent, and what was then Wright’s Bookshop. She also joined the Leamington Bowling Club where she was described as a ‘keen and regular bowler’ both at club and competition level, winning several championships. She was club president for a year. When the Leamington club closed in 2012, Jean joined the Te Awamutu Bowling Club where she notched up a raft of additional wins. Dianne said her mother was very familyoriented and was always on hand to support her children and grandchildren in their endeavours. Jean is survived by her daughter Dianne and son Ian, four grandchildren and two greatgrandchildren.
Jean Wallis played sport across the region.
