Waipā rise continues

By Mary Anne Gill

Economists might be predicting the house market will cool this year but for that to happen in Te Awamutu, Pirongia or Kihikihi, there would have to be “an awful lot more listings”, says real estate agent Vayle Hammond.

CoreLogic’s Mapping the Market Report released this week showed the median house prices in those three Waipā communities had risen.

Pirongia was up 18.7 per cent to $812,150, Te Awamutu up 20.1 per cent to $714,100 and Kihikihi up 19.6 per cent to $667,550.

Meanwhile Cambridge has joined the million-dollar housing club and outside of six suburbs in Hamilton, has the highest median house value in the Waikato.

The median house price in Cambridge was $1,070,350,

up 24.8 per cent on the previous year’s $857,350.

Leamington was up 24.1 per cent to $904,750.

Close Waikato district neighbours in Tamahere saw a 26.9 per cent increase to $939,550 while in Ōtorohanga and Te Kuiti, the median values were steady at $505,600 and $387,950.

Cambridge has joined Harrowfield, Rototuna, Rototuna North, Flagstaff, Huntington, and Queenwood in the Waikato million dollar club.

Median prices are calculated by taking the middle value when a data set is ordered from least to greatest.

The increases in and around Waipā have been fuelled by low mortgage rates, limited stock and Aucklanders moving south but those contributors are already changing, CoreLogic chief property economist

Kelvin Davidson told The News.

“We can easily see a switch to a buyers’ market this year. There are very strong challenges coming - 2022 is going to be very different from 2021. I’m not saying house prices will fall though.”

For those who would struggle to sell and buy in the same market, another option would be to stay and invest in their property.

“Some people can’t move so they say, ‘I’m going to stay where I am and add that extra bedroom’.”

Top of those challenges are increased mortgage rates and a law change on December 1 which imposed tougher lending rules on buyers. Even those with pre-approved mortgages were finding banks are reviewing their offers, said one industry analyst.

Matt Henry

First National Te Awamutu director Vayle Hammond said she was desperately short of listings.

“The change in the lending rules have made it difficult for some buyers,” she said.

One client had a pre-approval for $800,000 which had now gone down to $750,000.

People are moving to different towns. She recently sold a property in Te Kuiti to a buyer who saw it as more affordable and yet still close to Hamilton.

Other trends were for people to buy “two bedders” rather that three to four bedroom houses.

“Last year everybody predicted a plateau but we would need an awful lot more

listings for that to happen.”

Forsyth Barr’s Waipā -based head of wealth management research Matt Henry said the New Zealand housing market now looks more vulnerable after several good years.

“We have some of the most unaffordable houses in the world,” he said.

Rental yields are lower than they used to be and with tax changes resulting in some clients being unable to claim depreciation, many investors were looking elsewhere to invest their money.

“You can understand why people felt comfortable about housing for many years,” he said.

It was safe and dependable.

Peter Tong

More-Re Real Estate director Peter Tong was unsurprised by Cambridge’s median price rise.

“Cambridge is a desirable destination particularly for

Continued from page 1

Aucklanders,” he said.

“It’s going to be a different playing field this year and the banking changes have made it harder for first time buyers.

“But I’m still getting a lot of calls from Auckland. Our open homes were back this week and there are still people out there looking to buy,” said Tong.

Those struggling to buy in Cambridge or Leamington were looking in Te Awamutu and Putāruru.

“Generally, it’s around the greater Cambridge area.”

Tong said he was not seeing rental investors getting out of the market yet.

“Some landlords do have hearts and value their tenants.”

On the beat with Senior Constable DEB THURGOOD Court…and the acts

I hope that the adjustment of going back to work for many, wasn’t too hard! My work has been varied over the last couple of weeks.

Last Monday I got the opportunity to work at Te Awamutu District Court as the court orderly. My role was to assist the Authorised Officer in ensuring the smooth running of the court process that day, whilst being on hand to deal with any new offending or disorder that can sometimes occur. A Community Magistrate, not a Judge, was sitting. Community Magistrates are part-time, lay members of the judiciary process. There are around 14 Community Magistrates working nationally. They have wider powers than a Justice of the Peace and are selected to reflect the varied make up of our communities holding different life experience and skills.

A Community Registrar may preside over court for offences carrying a penalty of up to $40,000 fine and three months

imprisonment. They cannot impose the imprisonment sentence directly, however.

Court on Monday saw the Community Magistrate dealing with list court, which included first appearances for people who had been summonsed, and some hearings previously adjourned, for example for legal advice to be sought. As is often the case for Community Magistrates court, driving charges dominated the day with some other minor offending also featuring. Some cases were dealt with on the day, meaning offenders were sentenced immediately after entering a guilty plea, while cases were put off to another date to enable things such as legal aid applications to be processed.

This weekend, I will be walking a different beat at Soundsplash, a festival combining music, art and culture. 2022 sees the festival move from its former home in Raglan to Mystery Creek. Yes, Summer is certainly the season for concerts and festivals and as always, it pays to be prepared. If possible,

attend with a group of friends or family and look after each other.

Manage your food intake and hydration and don’t forget the sunscreen.

Organisers do their best to create a safe and inclusive vibe, nevertheless, be aware that such events are a gathering of all types of people. At any largescale event there will usually be opportunistic thieves. If camping, leave valuables at home and keep your essentials close. Keeping the variety of people who will be present in mind, don’t let yourselves or a friend be coerced by others into any situation in which you do not feel comfortable. Organisers have a Blue Zone and Wellbeing Hub where you can chill out, get help, advice and medical care if required.

Use common sense, enjoy the event and stay safe.

Have a great week and if you are going to Soundsplash and see me, say Hi. Deb

Briefs…

Fire season

The northern and central zones of the Waikato Fire District are now in a prohibited fire season. A permit is required to light an open-air fire. To get information on whether your planned activity requires a permit, go to checkitsalright. nz.

Sound splash

Waikato’s Soundsplash festival will be at Mystery Creek from today (Thursday) through to Saturday. The annual three-day festival saw thousands of youth flock to Raglan the previous five years but was moved to a bigger site due to Covid-19 related spatial requirements.

Craft Fair returns

The St Andrew’s Craft Fair returns to Cambridge on Auckland Anniversary Day, Monday January 31 from 9am to 2pm. There will be 120 stalls to accommodate a Covid-related layout, the church will be closed, and all those attending will have to show vaccine passes at signposted entry points.

Staffing crisis

A major labour shortage in the hospitality industry is being felt in Cambridge and Te Awamutu, with restaurants desperate to find staff, particularly chefs. Some restaurants are considering reducing opening hours while others are understood to be considering closing.

This comes as the industry is buzzing.

Lake warnings

Health warnings at Waipā’s largest peat lake remain in place. Waikato Regional Council reported a large algae bloom was building at Ngaroto before Christmas, and at the turn of the year videos showed dozens of dying fish in the lake. Algae occur naturally in rivers, lakes and streams, and flourish during hot and fine conditions. Work has been carried out by Waipā District Council this month on the lake’s boat ramp.

What’s in a building’s name? “(The) general policy is that facilities will be given generic names on road signs not sponsorship names,” Bryan Hudson said.

“The one exception is the large brown and white tourist signs which may have a commercial name on them, but these are paid for by the business and if the business name changes then the owners would be required to change the signs at their cost.”

Waipā District Council provided $1 million more than a decade ago in funding to ensure the establishment of the National Cycling Centre of Excellence in the district but had placed a number of conditions on the funding.

One of those was that the net cost of borrowing to service the grant did not impact on ratepayers.

The redundant Avantidrome sign issue underlines the influence sponsorship deals can have – because third parties, who have no contractual obligation to call established facilities by a new sponsors’ name often do.

And frequently where television interests are involved, the sponsor’s name gets enormous publicity.

Media outlets, like The News, are regularly pressured to call the sponsored venue or contest by the sponsor’s name.

The News’ policy is to allow sponsors’ name into the copy at least once but never in the introduction.

The difficulty is when the sponsored name becomes so well-known and synonymous

By Mary Anne Gill

New Zealand-born cycling giant and now Swiss-owned cycling manufacturer Avanti will continue getting free publicity in Waipā, even though its 10-year naming rights deal with the Cambridge Velodrome has ended.

The National Cycling Centre of Excellence velodrome became Avantidrome in 2012 through a partnership with The Home of Cycling Charitable Trust and Sheppard Cycles, which then owned Avanti.

Directional and information signs sprung up around the district referring to the Avantidrome rather than the velodrome.

Some Waipā District Council signs continue using the Avanti name.

Waipa Transportation manager Bryan Hudson confirmed all official directional signs on the Expressway and major roads use the term Velodrome.

“There may be unofficial signs around, but I am not aware of them.”

Several of the signs on the Te Awa River ride mention the sponsored name. Hudson said the council could review those signs and make sure it was updated.

It raises questions over who will foot the bill to remove the old name when the updates take place, or if new sponsors raise questions.

Unless the council also entered a deal with the sponsors, which is unlikely, then the bill will fall at the feet of ratepayers.

Signs on the cycleway point to the velodrome – using the old sponsor’s name

with the venue – for example, the Avantidrome, Spark Arena.

Not all efforts to rename places and stadia work, though.

In the UK, where many football stadiums are now being rebranded, efforts to rename St James Park - the home of Newcastle United, as of late last year the world’s richest club, led to protests from fans.

After four years, the club announced it was reverting to the original name – but then, only sponsors and acquiescent media ever called it the Sports Direct Arena.

Hamilton City Council identified an issue more than 20 years ago with Seddon Park and Waikato Stadium and effectively future proofed its signs, naming the two iconic venues as significant Hamilton city landscape features.

…but the council points to the velodrome on this road sign.

Junior vaccinations begin

By Mary Anne Gill

More than 1220 Waikato tamariki were vaccinated against Covid-19 with the child version of the Pfizer vaccine on Monday.

A Waikato DHB spokesperson said 43,766 children aged between 5 and 11 in the Waikato who could get their first dose, and their second dose at least eight weeks later.

Meanwhile Waipā continues to lead the way in the Waikato with 93.9 per cent of the population fully vaccinated, just ahead of Hamilton and Waitomo.

Among Māori, another 582 people are still to get their second dose to take Waipā from 80 per cent to 90 per cent.

A pop-up vaccination clinic will open at the Kihikihi Anglican Church in Lyon Street today (Thursday) and tomorrow from 10.30am to 3.30pm.

The Te Awamutu Vaccination Centre in Arawata Street will be open today and tomorrow from 9am to 4pm.

Services are also available at Sanders and Unichem Marshalls pharmacies and Te Awamutu Medical Centre.

By Tuesday this week, there were no active Covid-19 cases in Waipā.

Parents or caregivers can book their tamariki and other people book their first, second or booster vaccinations at BookMyVaccine.nz to get immunised with their usual health provider, hauora, pharmacy, or general practice.

Sanders Pharmacy is providing vaccinations for children.

Devon eyes a Parisian prize

By Viv Posselt

Devon Briggs’ 18th birthday this month marks a significant step towards his goal of competing in the Paralympics.

He is now of age to shoot for the dream he has grittily pursued for years, and with a successful result at December’s track cycling championships in Invercargill, his eyes are now firmly on the prize, riding in the 2024 Paralympics in Paris.

Devon has been cycling since he was 10.

He was born with severe club feet, rendering his ankles effectively immobile. He has endured 19 painful surgeries so far and there will be more to come. But he craved physical activity and found the only non-impact sport he could safely enjoy was on a bike. A chance meeting with Mike van Enter, manager at The Cambridge velodrome’s bike shop, led him into track cycling, and it wasn’t long before Devon was showing real talent.

“I got hooked really quickly,” he said.

“Michael has been a mentor throughout. But it’s only in recent years that I’ve believed I had a real chance at making it on the international stage.”

He has already racked up numerous successes and been widely recognised. He won the Para-Cycling Emerging Talent award in the 2020 Cycling New Zealand Road and Track Recognition Awards, and his success at December’s Southland Track Championships means he’s qualified for the Para-Cycling World Championships in April this year. They’re either in Paris or Canada – Devon is waiting to hear. There are still a few events to get through, a championship at the velodrome in Cambridge at the end of this month, and a national event in March.

He has also been nominated for the Halberg Awards.

Given Covid’s effects on training, he is surprised at how well he did in Invercargill.

“I wasn’t expecting it, to be honest … it was a case of digging deep and keeping my goal in mind.”

Digging deep characterises Devon. He has faced gruelling battles, both on and off the bike, yet remains positive about his future. He left Cambridge High School at the end of last year and is headed to Waikato University to do a business degree majoring in accounting.

The April world championships will be followed by a road world championship event taking place in Canada in August. “I

know there will be a lot of juggling involved, but Waikato is very supportive of highperformance athletes so I should be OK.” Right now, he’s running several part-time jobs and training whenever he can with coach Damian Wiseman. While in Invercargill, his natural ability with young riders was noted by former Commonwealth Games champion Glenn Thomson, who suggested Devon do a coaching course, which he did. In addition, because his particular disability also allows him to compete with able-bodied riders, he is part of a bunch-racing group at the

velodrome.

Devon was head librarian at Cambridge High last year, selected because he was a “stunning role model, someone who faced adversity, physical challenges and bullying”, said CHS library manager Glenys Bichan.

“He had the resilience and tenacity to overcome them and flourish,” she added. “We watched Devon grow from a young lad who needed nurture and protection in the library space, to someone who could give it to others … he has become a leader and an inspiration to others.”

New Te Awamutu AFC coach Richard Hudson will make club culture a cornerstone of his first campaign at the helm of the club.

Hudson, who succeeds Jim Grainger, plans to mould the men’s side of the club into one squad of players – rather than a club with two men’s teams.

He told club members at the weekend he wanted buy in from them.

“My aim is to grow from within, this club has a lot of history and I think we should do well,” he told the News.

He said players who did not see themselves playing in the WaiBop Championship league would still have a valuable role in helping develop the wave of young talent at the club.

Te Awamutu finished second bottom in its first season in the championship having been relegated the previous season from the premiership.

It hasn’t escaped Hudson’s attention that the club has leaked players to neighbouring clubs with teams in the premiership – Ōtorohanga and Cambridge.

Some of those players were present at last weekend’s meeting and Hudson will hold a further meeting this weekend for players he has yet to meet.

He has been given anecdotal run downs on the strengths of his squad but has yet to see the players in action – that will change on January 30 when they gather at 8.30am for the first training tun of the new season.

Hudson, who arrives on the back of an outstanding coaching career at top levels on both sides of the Tasman, plans to oversee and coach operations and will appoint an “offsider”.

Te Awamutu’s new coach is Cambridge based, having returned from Australia where he coached for more than 20 years.

He is enthused at the prospect of coaching at a different level.

“Football has given a lot to me - I wanted to give something back, and Te Awamutu fits,” he said.

And, having spent time coaching in Taupo and playing at venues like Tokoroa and Matamata, it won’t be entirely unfamiliar territory.

Repelling the Wallabies

Australian marsupials introduced in acts of extraordinary folly are headlined by the brushtail possum.

After they were released in 1837 to create a fur trade, their numbers peaked at around 70 million. They have fallen to an estimated 30 million as a result of pest control.

Wallabies, introduced about 50 years later in the late 1800s, also with a view to establishing an industry for their skin and sport, are also an expensive unwanted addition.

Several species were introduced to Kawau Island and one each on the North and South Island.

Today their numbers are counted in the tens of thousands. Bennet’s wallabies are mostly found in South Canterbury and the Dama wallaby in the Rotorua Lakes area.

Removing them is no easy task.

On Kawau Island, where Governor George Gray introduced them in 1870 along with other exotic species, controlling them has been a major task – pest control work has been continuing with limited success on the 2020ha island since 1923.

Ironically, the Parma wallaby introduced to Kawau Island was for some time thought to be extinct in Australia and in 1967 the eradication programme stopped so that they could be caught and repatriated. It later transpired enclaves of Parma were still to be found in Australia.

Watch out for the dama wallaby.

But the offspring of the Kawau Island population are smaller than their Australian bred relatives, and it is thought to be a consequence of the limited food resources on Kawau.

Also in 1870, several Bennetts wallabies were imported from Tasmania to Christchurch and bred. Four years later the breeding unit provided animals which were liberated in the eastern Hunter Hills near Warmate.

The message that the animals were not suited to New Zealand did not get home. Dama wallabies were released in 1912 near Lake Ōkāreka – a few minutes’ drive from Rotorua.

“We have a real concerted effort underway in partnership with regional councils, the Department of Conservation, manawhenua, industry groups and landowners to try to contain existing wallaby populations, because left unchecked, they could cover a third of the country over the next 50 years,” Biosecurity New Zealand’s director of readiness and response, John Walsh said.

Bennett’s wallabies dominate South Island numbers and Dama wallaby dominate the north.

It is estimated damage caused by wallabies will costs $84 million a year in lost farm production and ecosystem services by 2025.

“We can’t afford to let wallaby populations spread further,” says John Walsh.

Holidaymakers out tramping and camping this summer are being urged to keep an eye out for signs of

the pest.

John Walsh says while wallabies are naturally elusive, hiding in bush or scrub during the day and coming out to feed at night, reported sightings of wallabies – dead, alive, paw prints, or droppings are fundamental to the success of stopping their spread.

“We have a real concerted effort underway in partnership with regional councils, the Department of Conservation, manawhenua, industry groups and landowners to try to contain existing wallaby populations, because left unchecked, they could cover a third of the country over the next 50 years,” he says.

“This partnership, the National Wallaby Eradication Programme builds on existing wallaby management work, and with $27.5 million funding over four years, it is also boosting regional employment opportunities while also delivering environmental and economic benefits.”

“Ultimately – we want the country to be wallaby-free.

It’s not a quick fix, and we need to get it right,” says Mr Walsh.

He says wallabies have a huge appetite for many native seedlings, shrubs, ferns and grasses and their browsing prevents regeneration. That changes the structure of forests, reducing their ability to support native birds and other wildlife.

Wallabies have no natural predators in New Zealand and their populations have surged wildly.

Before Christmas the Greater Wellington Regional Council asked the public to look out for wallabies in Upper Hutt and Featherston after it found several Dama Wallaby corpses in the Pakuratahi Forest and near Kaitoke Regional Park.

Control efforts by local councils, landowners and organisations have been underway in Canterbury and the Bay of Plenty these regions for decades but have been stepped up through the unified National Wallaby Eradication programme.

The predicted spread of Dama wallabies in the North Island.

TE AWAMUTU NEWS | 7

The Dama wallaby is one of the smallest, standing up to 500mm abd weighing up to seven kilograms. They are grey-brown in colour with a paler grey underbelly. Mature animals may have a patch of reddish brown colouring at the shoulder.

While some kids can’t wait to get back to school, others face the prospect with trepidation. Put a positive spin on starting, or returning to, school. Talk with your children about the fun things they’ll learn, the old friends they’ll see and the new ones they’ll make. Reassure them that if they’re starting a new class or a new school, other kids may share the same feelings and anxieties. Parents, naturally, desire the best for their children and want the school experience to be a positive one. Give your kids lots of love and support.

Double-check your children’s registration,

HELP YOUR CHILD EXCEL AT SCHOOL TUITION AT HOME OR IN HAMILTON

Getting your children ready for new school year Parents, caregivers, whānau and teachers will have a particularly important part to play in reassuring children and young people through any changes.

Helping anxious children and teenagers takes time, patience and reassurance from the important adults in their lives.

They will look to you for comfort and reassurance, so being calm, confident and enabling time and space to be together will help everyone return to the “new normal.”

Young people will ask their peers or go to the internet and what they see and hear may be unhelpful.

Take time to listen.

Talk with your children about any fears that they may have.

Check in about their feelings and acknowledge and normalise these.

Form a plan with them about what you will do if anyone in the family gets sick or one of their friends get sick and where they can get accurate up to date information.

The other change in many of their lives is the availability of the Covid 19 vaccine for tamariki aged five to 11 from Monday 17 January.

When youngsters are anxious, they also want to be with people who help them feel safe and they might worry when they are not together.

Youngsters will be looking to adults for guidance and support for the changes ahead. It can be scary hearing about COVID-19 and what is happening around the world. This may make them feel anxious.

Children can become confused and fearful when changes happen and when they do not understand the changes.

For children and young people returning to school, there will be a range of feelings with excitement and anxiousness among them.

The importance of routines School holidays for most children involves going to bed later and sleeping in every day. To ensure they, and you, settle back into school, re-establishing routines are crucial. Doing it together makes it easier.

Here are a few tips: Re-establish the bedtime, mealtime routines before the early learning service or school starts.

This includes rules and routines around device use.

Remind your children and teenagers about the routines and how these routines help everyone with their energy levels to take part in activities or schoolwork.

Think about lunches and food.

Freeze/prepare easy meals so that preparation will not add to household tension during the first week of school.

Making lunches the night before can help.

Some children might

like to help or make their own.

Give everyone plenty of extra time to get up, eat breakfast, and get going.

and talk with them about how their day went.

Make sure you take your time as well in the mornings.

Share your enthusiasm for what they might be doing during the day

Send notes to teachers if there have been changes in the family

or if you are worried about things. Let them know that you are interested in getting regular feedback on how things are going.

e Awamutu is a vibrant rural town in the heart of the Waikato. The self-proclaimed Rose Capital of New Zealand adopted the rose as a symbol early in its development.

The local climate is ideal for the blooms.

IT King

Between November and April the beauty and fragrance of roses can be enjoyed in the elaborate gardens in the centre of town. Opposite, in Selwyn Park, is the Te Awamutu Walk of Fame, designed to recognise and celebrate local identities who have made an impact in

the community or achieved recognition in the wider world. Te Awamutu is an area of great historical interest, with old churches, pa sites, redoubt sites and battlegrounds nearby that make excellent explorations.

Mixing and matching

By Julie Guest

I have just returned from a camping holiday at the beach with all our family gathered. At one stage we had four generations together. What joy there is when the energy and inquisitiveness of the young can delight and reinvigorate the older ones among us.

I have my own rich memories of camping.

My parents took us to the same camping ground each summer for years. Sometimes we celebrated Christmas with a church service and carols on the beach front, singing carols under the Pohutukawa tree. Wonderful times! I well remember the joy of seeing the same friends returning each year. These camping friends were only seen during those summer days, but because we spent most daylight hours in each other’s company, exploring the dual terrain of friendships and geography, they became very special friendships indeed.

It was idyllic and although I didn’t realise it at the time, the best aspect was the range of backgrounds and social status we were mixing with. We were a group of equals in that place and time. Even now there is still an element of flattening the social economic status within a camping ground. I think that is part of what makes the experience so special.

Chatting over the dishes in the cook house can lead to sharing a coffee back at the tent.

Chasing your child can lead you onto another family’s spot, apologies and laughter follow.

Lifetime friendships can begin this way.

Many of these same qualities can be found in a church. All ages being together, and especially a welcome for young people is a characteristic of Christian community, encouraged by Jesus’ words to “welcome the little children.” There is a mix of ages, economic status, political beliefs, personalities

and lifestyles in a way that exists within very few other communities today. In today’s world, where all ideas are truth and everybody is right, where we curate our social gatherings to avoid those who are not like us, it is near impossible to happily co-exist in a diverse group. But it can and does happen within a Christian community - because of Jesus. Like many religions, Christianity teaches that we should love one another. But only Christianity has the added words “Love one another as I have loved you.”

Jesus demonstrated the humility and wisdom needed to live that out, even to the point of willingly giving up his life for us.

Jesus’ selfless life offers one more gift that makes is possible to create community, that of forgiveness. It is easy to see the damage that unforgiveness creates within a family, let alone a larger group. Hate, revenge seeking, avoiding one another – these are all fatal to group and individual wellness. The reverse: humility, gentleness and giving and receiving forgiveness, creates an atmosphere that is invitational, compelling and welcoming. Jesus offered this to his companions and after his death they carried that community into the rest of the world. In churches today we seek to live, love, forgive and be forgiven by each other and all who come. Obviously, we fail!

Many of you reading this will have your own story of a failure of relationship within a Christian community. But the fact that loving one another as Jesus loves us is built into the fabric of Christian community, means we succeed far more often. And when we do, it is like a giant camping holiday but for the whole of your life.
