Waipā residents wasted little time on Sunday responding to Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern’s announcement the country was moving into Covid red.

Queues at vaccination centres and supermarkets started within minutes of the 11am

announcement, leaked on the Ministry of Health’s own website before Ardern even opened her mouth.

Event organisers were also calling urgent meetings so they could decide whether their gatherings could proceed.

For most, the answer was no. Cancelled or postponed as

Omicron threatens to swamp the country are the North Island club and the national rowing champs at Karāpiro, the Ballance Farm Awards, Festival One Music Festival, St Andrew’s Craft and Collectable Fair in Cambridge and the Rotary Run the Runway events.

Others like the Ride NZ Cycling Festival next month will go ahead

but with no spectators, event village or prizegiving.

A slew of other announcements is expected in the coming days including whether Waipā District Council meetings will go back into the Te Awamutu debating chambers rather than continue on-line.

Cycleway issue

Your article “Riders raise warnings over cycleway” includes the suggestion that a simple fix would be to lower the height of fences back two metres from the boundaries allowing more vision. This raises two separate issues: the rights of property owners and the safety of those using the footpath and cycleway.

On the first point, owners are entitled to the full use and enjoyment of their

properties. They are entitled to protect their privacy and to reduce the noise of passing traffic by planting or fencing along their street boundary.

The second issue is more complex and has been compounded by the Council which chose to ignore specific warnings about safety when consulting on the new cycleway between Grey and Vogel Streets.

Before the cycleway was built there was more than a metre between my property boundary and the near edge of the footpath.

I could edge my car forward and see in both directions before intruding onto the footpath.

To accommodate the cycleway the footpath was moved almost to the property boundary.

I now have to have the front of my car almost entirely across the footpath before I have a clear view in each direction.

Despite having this pointed out to them during the consultation process the Council chose to lessen one safety risk by creating a new one.

Although most residents take great care when leaving their properties, I am aware of several close calls since the work was finished just a few weeks ago. It can be only a matter of time before someone is injured.

I have tried to reduce the risk by fitting a small convex mirror to the fence to give me a better view of the footpath. Perhaps the Council could consider offering these to all property owners along that stretch of Hamilton Road to help moderate the safety issue the Council has created.

Fred Cockram Cambridge

In reply…

Exercising my right of reply to Bernard Westerbaan, he raises some good questions, but I think he moves around the subject and in turn unfortunately misses my point.

Covid-19 in its various forms can potentially be transmitted to people having two doses of Pfizer-BioNTech – the vaccination in its initial stages has an efficacy rate of 95% which lessens between each vaccination. This means that some are still able to contract Covid if exposed to people who are unvaccinated, not to mention those who cannot or have not been able for various reasons to receive a vaccination.

Such is confirmed by the World Health Organisation, with similar information being available from the NZ Ministry of Health. Recent data from the Imperial College London confirms that a third dose of the vaccine offers the most promising immune response against infection, but equally significant is that those who have not received the booster over time have an increasing risk of serious illness and hospitalisation.

As to whether a rates discount should be available for those who cannot meantime use the new pool facilities, this is of course for the Council to decide but various local authorities around the country have confirmed that any concession against the standard rate is not feasible as it similarly would not be for residents unable or failing to get any direct benefit from any other amenity within the local authority’s jurisdiction.

On the beat with Senior Constable DEB THURGOOD Watch out – car thieves about Every week, thieves are stealing cars. In the 7 days prior to January 23, 43 motor vehicles were reported as stolen in Waikato, plus 11 number plates.

Of these vehicles, the most targeted models were Toyota Aquas, Mazda Demios, Axelas and Atenzas and Nissan Tiidas.

While some vehicles are stolen for joyriding, many more are taken to be used in other crime, frequently burglaries, ram raids and aggravated robberies. The theft of plates similarly contributes to this, as the original plates are swapped out in an attempt to make the identification of vehicles and offenders a little more difficult.

While it is true that a determined offender will likely get into a vehicle if they persist long enough, there are things you can do to make this process a lot harder. This reduces the likelihood of your vehicle being stolen and increases the likelihood of detection if they try.

Tim van de Molen Your MP for Waikato

Tim.vandeMolenMP@parliament.govt.nz 0800 GET TIM (0800 438 846) TimvandeMolenWaikato

Where possible, keep your vehicle garaged. If not possible, ensure the area in which it is kept is lit up with security sensor lights. Remember to lock all car doors and close car windows. Install an alarm with break glass sensor and an immobiliser if it is not already fitted with one and take all valuable items out of the vehicle when you leave it. Keep car keys in your possession, or if placing inside your home, put them out of sight. In the case of trailers, consider using a wheel clamp and park out of sight or close to your home. Install CCTV covering your driveway/carport or other parking areas on your property.

When reporting a car as stolen, you will be asked whether you authorise police to tow it when found. The reason for this is that best preservation of evidence (fingerprints or DNA left behind by the offenders) is achieved through taking the recovered vehicle to a secure location for forensic

examination. Car theft is volume crime, with one individual or group usually responsible for multiple thefts. Forensic evidence is crucial to linking offenders to crimes and linking individual crimes together. Where your vehicle is fully insured, insurance will cover the cost of a vehicle tow as well as any damage to the vehicle. When you don’t have insurance, you will be liable for the tow cost.

When offenders are caught and convicted however, it is possible to request reparation to recover these costs through the court process. If towing for forensic examination is not authorised by you, the chances of police being able to identify the person responsible for stealing your car is of course reduced.

This gives the offender/s a greater chance of continuing their crime spree leading to further victimisation.

Let’s work together to reduce car crime.

Briefs…

Fair canned

The St Andrew’s Craft Fair has been cancelled. The move to cancel the fair, which was to have been held at Cambridge’s St Andrew’s Church on Monday, was made before Sunday’s announcement that the country would enter the red traffic light Covid protection level. Organiser Ian Dunn said there were difficulties associated with manning entrances and adequately protecting residents of St Andrew’s Village. The next fair is scheduled for October.

The right way round…

By Mary Anne Gill

There is overwhelming support in Cambridge for a proposed roundabout at the State Highway One/29 Piarere intersection, if visitors to an information stand in the town on Tuesday are any indication.

Te Waka Kōtuia Engagement and Partnerships communications senior advisor Jane Thompson said more than 40 people turned up to discuss a solution for arguably the region’s

biggest traffic trouble spot.

Some made design suggestions and others wanted to see cycle paths installed.

“Many had stories to tell about near misses or witnessing crashes at that intersection and raised concerns about safety on other parts of State Highway One in the area.”

Submissions on the $40 million plans close with Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency on February 9.

The preferred site considers several

factors, including initial technical assessments of stormwater, ecology, archaeology and geotechnical information.

Discussions with affected landowners are continuing, as is the finalisation of the detailed technical assessments required to complete design, the lodgement of the Notice of Requirement and regional consents.

“It was good to hear people say they would be putting in a submission to support the project,” said Thompson.

New stop

The Hamilton to Auckland Te Huia train now stops at Auckland’s Puhinui Station.

For the last official week of the school holidays and the first five days of service ending tomorrow, one child aged 18 and under will travel for free with every paying adult.

Thieves go to church

A silver cross and vases have been stolen from Pukeatua Church.

Waipā District Councillor Lou Brown said it broke his and several RSA members’ hearts to hear of the theft. An inscription on the base of the cross says: “To the glory of God and in memory of Horace James Jemmett, 9.6.1915, Gallipoli

Waka Kotahi design manager Greg Bailey, right, and project manager Zaid Essa, left, discuss the roundabout plans with members of the public.

Crash mystery

Fishing competition

Leamington Rugby Club’s popular annual fishing competition has been set down for February 4 to 6. The event has been a successful fundraiser for community groups.

Community House

Cambridge Community House, which provide social and educational services, is advertising for a new general manager following the departure of Harriet Dixon who has taken on a new role at Peke Waihanga Artificial Limb Service in Hamilton.

Police have no details about this Mazda Demio which crashed on Victoria Street in Cambridge sometime over the weekend. The car appeared to have been travelling south on Victoria Street when its right wheel clipped the roadside verge just past the Whitaker Street turnoff. Despite having ‘Emergency Police’ tape around the car, police could not provide any information about the incident. The car, which ended up at the base of a large tree, was leaking petrol and oil when The News took this photo on Sunday. The car was removed on Monday morning.

Lake is back on track The popular 106m Tom Wells walking track at Lake Te Koo Utu has reopened following last year’s slips.

The gravel path is one of the easier of the seven walking tracks around the lake and comes out at Whitaker Street.

It was named after general store owner Tom Wells who was the first Cambridge Domain Board chairman, serving from its inception in 1880 until 1905. He has been credited with leading beautification projects in the Cambridge Domain and the lake.

Waipā District Council staff are working with contractors to repair and remove risks on the track and on Settlers Track alongside the Waikato River.

Shell shock

By Mary Anne Gill

When Cambridge High School library manager Glenys Bichan popped into school this week to get ready for a new school year, there on her desk was a mounted shell case from the HMS Achilles missing for years.

“I am so flipping stoked,” she told The News.

Details of where the shell case, presented to the school by Chief of Naval Staff Rear-Admiral Richard Washbourn on 17 July 1964, has been all this time are sketchy.

“It is dusty and yucky, I won’t clean it yet until I find out the story,” said Bichan.

The school appealed for the shell case’s return in The News on 15 January.

There was a sense of guilt from several at the school as then principal George Marshall promised to look after and value the shell case as it was a reminder of the toils and sacrifices of those who had gone before.

That included former pupil Able Seaman Archibald Cooper Hirst Shaw who died of multiple injuries to his chest after the HMS Achilles opened fire on the Admiral Graf Spee on 13 December 1939 at the World War II Battle of River Plate.

Once cleaned, the shell case will feature in a formal opening for the school’s new Marshall Archives facility within the library.

Photos, newspaper and magazine clippings dating back to the school’s establishment in 1883, will go on display.

The mounted shell case from the Battle of River Plate has been found at the school in storage.

Meet Dione’s pet projects

By Mary Anne Gill

If there is a female version of Doctor Dolittle, then Cambridge 14-year-old Dione Bax would easily fit the bill.

Stray animals and birds make a bee-line for her mother Kylie’s boutique stud farm in Hautapu knowing Dione will be there to care for them.

Pukeko, sparrows, hedgehogs, wild rabbits and even pied stilts, which do not usually venture so far inland, all beat a path to Dione’s door.

She even convinced her mother to buy the bobby calves from her St Peter’s School dairy farm.

“I wanted to save them from going to the meatworks,” she said.

But the adopted pet she is currently pining for is Spencer, one of many damaged pukeko she has nursed back to health.

Spencer is a bit of a wanderer, loves human company rather than other pukeko and has taken solo trips around the community prompting Kylie to go on to social media to appeal for his return.

The family recently found him in Matangi, some 10 kilometres away, but this time he seems to have gone further afield despite getting spoilt rotten at the Bax farm.

Offers of poultry leg bands have poured in for Spencer when he returns.

Spencer was a very new hatchling when he followed Dione across the paddock. She kept

putting him back with the other pukeko, but he knew a good thing when he saw it and re-joined the other animals and birds.

“I’ve raised nine ducks this year and they don’t seem to want to go

anywhere,” she said.

Orphaned foals, calves and lambs all thrive under Dione’s care which begs the question, does some form of career in veterinarian care loom on the

CAMBRIDGE NEWS | 5

horizon?

Always a possibility, she said, but in the meanwhile in the words of the song ‘If I could talk to the animals’ – what a neat achievement it would be.

ABOVE: Pied stilts, like this one Dione Bax calls ‘Mike’ come to the Hautapu district in winter and spring. They are quite common in wetlands – like the newly established St Kilda area – and on the coast.

Vax rates Running into Omicron top table

Waipā continues to lead the region in Covid vaccinations.

By Tuesday, 97 per cent – or 35,735 of the district’s population – were fully vaccinated.

Nearly 9700 had received their booster vaccination.

Figures were not available for the numbers of Waipā paediatric vaccinations but across the Waikato vaccinators delivered 7695 doses

by Tuesday.

Waikato District Health Board has established a new vaccination centre in the Cambridge Town Hall, and it will vaccinate all ages five years up every Saturday until the end of February from 10am to 4pm.

A pop-up vaccination centre will be in the carpark behind Leamington Medical Centre today (Thursday) and tomorrow from 10.30am to 3.30pm.

This should take the pressure off places like Unichem Family Health Pharmacy and Cambridge Medical Centre which have borne the brunt of vaccination pressure from children and those requiring boosters.

Vaccinations will continue in Te Awamutu at 244 Arawata Street, the former Bunnings site) from 9am to 4pm every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

Te Awamutu Medical Centre, Unichem Marshalls and Sanders Pharmacies will also provide booked and walk-up vaccinations.

Covid testing is available at a range of dedicated sites as well as GPs and designated GP practices.

There are no pop-up sites in Waipā and only one active Covid case for the district in Te Awamutu.

who supply care packs for children in foster care, those being raised by grandparents or someone other than their biological parent and Hospice Nepal.

Participants run, walk or jog a flat 5km route on the airport runway.

The event, now to be held on November 20, is one of only two of its kind in New Zealand, and one of only four in the southern hemisphere; the others being held in Australia and South Africa.

Waipā deputy mayor Liz Stolwyk, who also manages the Karāpiro Domain for the council, said fencing which the council erected for $20,000 for the regional waka ama event held a day before New Zealand went into red light, was taken down on Monday.

Part of the unspent $258,645 in the Waipā Covid community recovery fund went

towards the temporary fencing.

She was not expecting any significant events at Karāpiro for several weeks now Omicron was in the community.

The SoundSplash three-day festival at Mystery Creek is likely to be the last major spectator event held in Waipā during the summer.

Festival goers packed up on Sunday while organisers, who had opted to move the event from Raglan to the bigger Mystery Creek venue, were pleased their “spatial requirements” meant nearly 8000 youth were able to attend.

Festival One, a multi-day Christian festival which was to be held in Whitehall Road near Karāpiro starting tomorrow (Friday) is off as is One Love Reggae and Roots music festival in Tauranga which usually draws patrons from Waipā.

CAMBRIDGE NEWS | 7

Continued from page 1

Councillors were also set to decide this week whether to return to the debating chamber next week after two years.

Stolwyk said many councillors felt they were not engaging with each other in the same way and needed to re-establish that connection.

Schools are also going ahead with planning for a return to the classrooms.

Cambridge High School has a teacher only day tomorrow and will finalise plans for a pōwhiri on February 2.

Students from years four and up must wear face coverings in classrooms and assemblies under the red traffic-light setting.

Term one begins on January 31 in some schools and as late as February 8 in others.

Teachers must wear masks and it is understood the Ministry of Education favours them wearing N95 masks.

Omicron and the paper trail

The country went to the supermarket on Sunday to clean out shelves ahead of the move to the Covid red level.

In a rerun of the charges through the aisles during earlier lockdowns, supermarkets were overrun with customers who felt the urgent need to bulk buy toilet paper.

During prevous lockdowns toielt paper and flour were in so much demand customers were told their was need to bulk buy. It made no difference.

The crush followed the Prime Minister’s red light announcement on Sunday.

Supermarkets reported a three hour rush in products.

The major players in the market sent

out messages that during two years of the pandemic they had shown their supply chains were robust enough to cope, as long as people shopped normally.

In a statemement, New World said “our teams have been actively preparing for Omicron and we have been building our stock levels in anticipation of a move to Red. We have enough for everyone as long as we all shop normally, there is no need to stock-up, even if preparing to selfisolate.”

But by Tuesday, customers were told “due to supply chain disruptions, limits may apply on some products to provide There were weekend queues at Cambridge supermarkets. a fair opportunity for all customers”.

FAITH IN WAIPĀ

Letters…

Continued from page 2

On a final point I’m sure most of the residents of Cambridge look forward to enjoying the company of Bernard Westerbaan and others at the Perry Aquatic Centre once the threat of the pandemic has eased, but in the face of current reports relating to the relative capacity of our medical services I continue to believe that Council’s decision to err on the side of absolute caution remains the only sensible option.

Alan Hayward Cambridge

Just nonsense

B Westerbaan (News, January 20) is entitled to his flat earther, science denier, cynical views about Covid vaccinations.

But given the misinformation/ disinformation that exists on social media, the ignorance among the wider populace and Government and medical/scientific establishment efforts to correct that through facts it is disgraceful that you saw fit to help him promote his nonsensical, rambling, incoherent diatribe and in so doing ignore your own 200-word rule for letters by subjecting us to approximately 352 words of verbiage.

Westerbaan’s comments about vaccination/inoculation shows his ignorance on which his perverse views are based. It is impossible to have a cogent, reasoned mature conversation with people of his ilk who will not accept the science in any event as his comments show.

As to his complaint about his inability to use our local swimming pool and his demand for a rate rebate it is no less than crazy. Can he provide a formula to be used in such circumstances for him and

other ratepayers like me who don’t use community facilities like the pool, museum, library, children’s playgrounds? I suspect not. Can he compute the cost to council and ratepayers for applying said formula that would not have to be recovered by increasing rates? I guess not.

Unlike Westerbaan I accept the science and I am not self-centred or devoid of common sense. I accept I have a responsibility to wider society and my community. I am happy therefore to be fully vaccinated and pay my rates in full even though I do not use or benefit from all community facilities.

Westerbaan should get a grip!

Kelvin Dunn Leamington

Too many people

We have a council so obsessed with population growth they create expensive problems.

Having brought in a multitude of people to Cambridge with all this house building, under the guise of needing them for the projected population growth, they created so many problems.

Now, due to this obsession, they have created a traffic chaos and now they want another bridge over the Waikato to ease the problem they created.

They brought these people to Cambridge, the newbies did not have to come, so for me, they can live with the need for this bridge.

We ratepayers did not create this need, so why should we have to pay for it?

This council is circumventing the green belt put in place to prevent expansion by allowing subdivisions to push out from the outside of the green belt. This expansion is a want, not a need.

Forgive…to live (part two)

By Murray Smith, Senior Leader, Bridges Church

Last week in this column I wrote about a Dutch lady imprisoned in a German concentration camp during World War 2.

Merciless punishment for her ‘crime’ of helping Jewish refugees left deep scars.

She lost family members, experiencing the harshest cruelties that broken people are capable of inflicting.

Yet being able to forgive released her to live a whole life again.

None of us get far along the journey of life before we encounter hurt to some level at the hands of other people. Wittingly or unwittingly, someone else’s misdeeds or words are going to cause you pain. The important issue at stake is how we respond to damaging events… will we deal with them in ways that allow us to become better - rather than bitter?

Being wronged or hurt by others leaves us vulnerable to harbouring feelings of pain, anger or resentment towards the perpetrator.

Over the years, I’ve spoken with many who have suffered through thoughtless, selfish, or reckless, decisions and actions of others.

I’ve also often cringed hearing a person claim through tight lips that, “I will never ever forgive them for what they have done…” Bitter memories regarding a wrongdoer can even persist years beyond their lifetime.

Pain inflicted on us by someone else’s lust or greed is real… being slandered or having reputation cast into doubt, being dealt an irreversible blow through careless, crushing words… enduring the loss of a loved one or seeing them harmed as the result of another person’s lack of wisdom or poor judgment… the resulting pain compels us to want to lash out and hurt whoever hurt us.

Yet the negative focus feeding our grievance against the one who hurt us is like a toxin within, harming us more than it ever harms them.

Unforgiveness promotes a warping of our personality, increasing anxiety and depression, even causing ailments people suffer from physically.

Doctors state that 61% of cancer patients have forgiveness issues.

Arthritis, heart and blood pressure issues, digestive problems, ulcerative colitis, decreased immune response are just a few known conditions people can become susceptible to through holding a grudge.

Putting it plainly, holding a grudge can make us sick.

An old expression referred to as “burying the hatchet” used to convey letting go of a grudge or issue of unforgiveness. To bury a hatchet (small wooden-handled axe ) means you don’t leave the handle sticking up from the ground ready to retrieve, to yank out and ‘wield’ it yet again.

You can tell when you’ve buried a grudge or forgiven properly. The memory of the offence fades.

You no longer brood and engage in ruminative thoughts of anger, vengeance, hate, and resentment that have unproductive outcomes.

Forgiveness is an essential intervention that interrupts living out of historical inner wounds, that the mere passing of time will never heal in and of itself.

To forgive others who have wronged us, is not an emotion. It is a choice… hopefully one readers might make as a result of this three part series.

Council threat case resolved One club to rule them…

Police will take no further action in the case of a man who made threats against Waipā District Council staff last week.

In the second incident of its kind in recent weeks, a threat was made against staff following a decision to seize a dog.

On Wednesday afternoon Waipā District Council offices, libraries and the Te Awamutu Museum were put into lockdown.

The council confirmed a firearms-related threat was made after a dog was seized by Animal Control.

On the advice of police, council staff remained indoors while they investigated the threat.

Council chief executive Garry Dyet said the closures were to ensure the health and safety of staff while police responded to the call and investigated the threat.

“Following being closed for a few hours, the situation was peacefully resolved,” he said. “First and foremost, we need to ensure

the safety of our staff and that is why we have these lockdown procedures in place.”

He said he would write to police to thank them for their “exemplary” service.

Council offices and facilities opened at 9am the following day.

Police told the News they spoke to a person as a result of the incident and it was decided no charges would be laid.

The case underlines the extra pressure council staff have been under – some related to stress over the Covid situation.

The News reported on some of the abuse suffered by staff and elected officials in 2021 over Waipā District Council plans for Te Awamutu’s Memorial Park.

This week it was also revealed politicians at national level were experiencing a higher level of abuse and police were investigating a case where the Prime Minister’s car was cut off and the incident recorded by someone in the offending car.

Former Cambridge businessman Simon Moore made world sport headlines last week with the launch of the Urquhart golf club.

He and son Jamie Moore, who still lives in Cambridge and operates a website company, feature in videos taken at New Plymouth Golf Club.

Inventing an innovative golf club is not new for Simon Moore. Nearly 20 years ago he developed the world’s first belly putter brand called Puku. The patent for it was subsequently bought by Nike.

The Urquhart adjustable loft club adjusts to 11 different clubs – from a five degree putter to a 64 degree lob.

The company is named after Robert Lish Urquhart; a Scottish inventor who patented the first adjustable club in 1893.

Moore founded Cambridge Optometrist in 1995 and sold the business in 2002 to pursue his Puku golf venture. He featured in the television show Dragon’s Den to demonstrate the belly putter.

Once bittern…

It’s heard but rarely seen – the Australasian bittern, Matuku, is listed as threatened and not something you will find in the back yard.

Unless you are John and Jude Bowen of St Kilda.

They discovered a juvenile bittern on their Cambridge property on Monday last week.

The wetland species’ population is estimated to be less than 1000 individuals, and they’re classified as ‘ThreatenedNationally Critical’ due to introduced predators and loss of habitat. That means they have the same threat classification as kākāpō and are more threatened than most species of kiwi.

“Jude came back into the house and told me she found something outside,” says John. “I went into one of our bedrooms and opened the ranch slider to get a better look.

And there it was.”

Once John had Googled the bird, he found out what it was.

“I went onto the Department of Conservation website, and it said to contact the local DOC office if you see one of these.

I thought, ‘I’d better call. It created a lot of excitement in the Waikato District Office.”

“We dropped the blinds down and checked on it again in a few minutes. It had vanished. We walked around the garden in case it was injured – but it had gone.”

There are two wetlands nearby the Bowen’s St Kilda subdivision home.

DOC Science Advisor Emma Williams, a wetland bird specialist, says the bittern is a juvenile, which could explain why it was so curious.

“It’s a great sign that breeding is happening in this area though - the locals should be very proud a bird as threatened

as the kākāpō is interested in checking out what Cambridge has to offer.”

THE AGE OF REASON

Waiting for the news

By Peter Carr

With the rapid browning of the grass around us and the continuing cloudless azure skies one could be forgiven from forgetting that the holiday period is over.

Except, that is, for the fact that the government sponsored TV1 channel has now pushed the recommencement of the morning news programme back even further. Here we have what is clearly a state (and state directed) broadcaster who generously (for which read cut costs) terminates the programme midDecember and fails to push the restart button until the very last day of January.

Forgive me if you feel I am being churlish, but the production of news is a being that exists in a continuum. Can you imagine the Herald taking a six-week break? Would Radio NZ’s national programme (again state owned and directed) shut up shop for a lengthy period and thus only produce up to the minute news broadcasts at 6pm each day?

Of course not. But then there is effective competition among a plethora of radio stations – and long may it continue. Older readers will well recall the struggle that non-state radio broadcasters in both the UK and this country had to reach their emerging audience. Hiding on ships outside the (then) 3-mile limit in order to be heard.

It is understanding that governments in a one-party dominated state (aka the old USSR) should try and maintain total singular dominance on what they want the public to hear – or rather not hear. But in an enlightened multi-party environment it appears to me that every effort should be made by major news broadcasters to disseminate, up to date and frequent, honest political-free statements of what is happening. Should they wish to then put a slant on that news then it is clearly the unfettered role of the news editor to do

so. But to what degree are news editors in government owned (or sponsored) news organs given that allimportant freedom?

Take for example the now frequent and almost over-bearing preamble in Māori in news broadcasts. Before I get chastised let me state very clearly that I have no objection to Māori statements providing that an English direct translation follows immediately. But what of the other languages so prevalent especially in the larger Auckland area? I admire the TV1 news reporter who starts her items in several South Pacific tongues. But there is a vastly subsidised Māori TV channel that provides ample (and good) coverage of both news and items of other interest.

If I was a sole voice on this matter, I would happily take on board any and all opprobrium that may be directed at me for this seemingly one-sided diatribe. But over the holiday season I repeatedly heard many people who are perceiving this single-ethnic support as the thin edge of the wedge. The imbalanced and frankly stupid dogma regarding the governance of the proposed Three Waters is but a microcosm of what may yet be thrust upon us. Perhaps the self-elected guardian of the road in the Far North should set himself up at the northern end of the newly built Transmission Gully to check that only those who are really needed in Wellington on any given day shall be permitted to pass.

However, as the opening date for this grossly overpriced and toll-free stretch of tarmac is retreating backwards faster than the (government) rail ferries service he will be well drawing his pension before his ‘services’ are needed.

NO PLANET B

When going green is bad

By Peter Matthews

I was scrolling absent-mindedly through a social media app when I happened upon a post which appeared to say something like “Earth Version 2 is now available”.

There was a picture of part of the globe as we know it, and another picture of land and sea which appeared unfamiliar.

In my half-engaged state I assumed this was a reference to the disappearing ice sheets and tundra, particularly in the Northern Hemisphere.

These are currently making available, for habitation and use, areas of land which have been hitherto unavailable to humans.

In fact the powers of the North have long been planning to make commercial use of the new sea passages which are now opening as we all knew they would.

It is easy to document the increasingly rapid northward march of the treeline and this perennial advance of temperate vegetation towards the North Pole is, in itself, proof of global warming. That observation alone, however, does not provide any evidence that human activity is the cause of it.

The evidence is not hard to find but, for my current purpose, it is unnecessary.

It is a fact that white is turning green.

White reflects a lot of the warmth from sunlight; green, on the whole, absorbs it. So this is likely to be a vicious circle where the results of a thing cause the thing to happen more.

Then as the tundra thaws it releases methane, and a lot of it, which is a particularly effective greenhouse gas; round we go again.

It turns out that was not what the post

was about at all. My appreciation of the perspicacity of the author was enough to jog me into the present and I looked again.

It was, in fact advertising a computer game in which a world was being built and the message was disappointingly mundane: simply that the next stage is now available.

I like my semi-conscious version better: a light-hearted poke at the fact that we are rapidly using up the resources of the planet, even those which are becoming available to us as a direct result of our misuse.

Whether the current bout of global warming has been caused by human activity is what is known as a moot point.

I wasn’t sure I had used the word ‘moot’ correctly just then, so I consulted the thesaurus which is always close to hand and was amused and more than a little bolstered to read the example phrase used to illustrate the meaning: “whether the temperature rise is due to the greenhouse effect is a moot point”.

OK, that still doesn’t point directly to human involvement but it’s a step closer.

Anyway I don’t have to prove that human activity is the cause of global warming.

Climate change is taking second place in the news to the posturing of the power-mongers.

As it goes, they will probably take us all out long before the North Pole turns green.

Children to benefit from new investment fund Children with disabilities will be the ultimate benefactors of a new philanthropic investment fund established with a Waikato’s community foundation.

McKenzie Centre in Hamilton, part of Enrich Group in Waipā, was established in 1982 with donations from the McKenzie Education Foundation and the Telethon Trust.

It supports children who have disabilities and their families and has secured an ongoing income stream by putting capital into the new McKenzie Centre Fund in the care of Momentum Waikato.

Centre director Trisha Benge said Momentum Waikato will be a prudent guardian of the Fund.

“This is a forward-thinking initiative with Momentum that we feel privileged to initiate as a future investment for the children and their whānau that we support,” says Trisha.

“Experiences of early childhood have a later impact on wellbeing. Child development is influenced by individual, family and community factors, and early childhood intervention helps to improve the lives of the children and their families and achieves better long-term

outcomes.”

Momentum Waikato Chief Executive Kelvyn Eglinton welcomed McKenzie Centre to the growing number of local trusts working with the community foundation to realise the best outcomes from their financial resources.

“Many small to medium for-purpose organisations and institutions have their ‘rainy day fund’ capital sitting in the bank providing minimal

interest,” he said.

The McKenzie Centre will use the investment income from the fund to achieve its long-term strategy and growth.

“The certainty of this funding will allow it to prioritise expenditure and identify interventions that improve outcomes and enhance wellbeing for the children and their whānau that they support,” Kelvyn Eglington said.

Stephanie Wacker, an early intervention teacher at McKenzie Centre, works with a child.

Polo win for Waikato Cambridge’s Bruce Watson was part of the Waikato team which won the inaugural Polo in the Bay event at Baypark in Mount Maunganui on Saturday.

Waikato’s three man team of Watson and Te Akau father and son Jay and Tommy Wilson beat Auckland 6-4 in the final.

The event featured many of New Zealand’s most talented polo players from Auckland, Waikato, Bay of Plenty and Hawke’s Bay. The format was different from traditional polo which is played on a 270m long field. The polo field at Baypark was half the size with hospitality areas within two metres of the field. Each ringside seat was able to follow the action.

The event was to have been held last November but was postponed till the weekend.

Organiser John Guise

said the event was aimed at those with little or no knowledge of polo.

“When we created this event, we wanted the polo itself to be enjoyable for anyone, so that someone with zero polo knowledge could enjoy it.

“If you went to a traditional polo game, it may require some knowledge to follow it.”

Polo in the Bay is supported by two-year funding through the Regional Events Fund. The second event will be held later this year.

“Long term we are also looking to grow Polo in the Bay into a three-day festival.

Once we have a programme over three days, visitors have more motivation to stay an extra night – that’s where the opportunity is long-term. It’s bringing more people to our region to spend and put back into our local economy,” said Guise.

Get gardening

A monthly gardening column, courtesy of Amber Garden Centre As the weather remains so hot, it is important to make sure the garden is well looked after. Watering bigger plants like perennials and hedging heavily a few times a week will be more beneficial than daily light watering. Annuals and vegetables may need more frequent watering. Plants benefit more from being watered in the early hours of the morning or at dusk. This will help prevent leaves from burning in the harsh sunlight Vegetables – February is the month where everything is ripe.

So it’s a great time to preserve or freeze excess produced to enjoy over the cooler months. Inconsistent watering can lead to vegetable plants drying out and becoming bitter, it also increases the chances of pests and diseases attacking.

Herbs – it is common for softer leaved herbs like basil, dill and coriander to go to seed very quickly in this hotter weather.

Harvest the young foliage early and dry it or freeze it to use later.

Flowers – While it is still hot and dry, plants like begonias, petunias and portulaca will do better. It is time to start thinking about your winter garden beds but hold fire on planting until it cools down more, or plant in shade.

Vincent in form Kaipaki too good

By Mary Anne Gill

Cambridge right hand opener Keith Vincent was all class as he plundered the Hamilton Old Boys’ Black bowlers for 92 on the opening day of a two-day match on Victoria Square in Cambridge on Saturday.

Cambridge won the toss in the Hamilton Cricket Association’s Senior A Sigley Cup contest and elected to bat on what looked like a super batting wicket.

Cambridge was all out for 269 in 70.4 overs and Old Boys was 51 for the loss of one wicket from 30 overs. Their chase continues this Saturday.

Vincent and Lachie Scott got to 61 when Scott fell for 36, caught and bowled by Jed Pirrit who went on to grab 5/64 from 18 overs in a superb piece of bowling. He claimed the wickets of the top four batsmen in the five-wicket bag.

At 86/3, Cambridge needed a good partnership which they got from Vincent and Nick Bateman who took the team through to 211 before Bateman fell on 55 followed five runs later by Vincent.

A valuable 16 not out from Connor Jacobsen, which featured three fours, completed the Cambridge effort.

Saif Khan, with his off-spin bowling,

claimed the only Old Boys wicket to fall before stumps bowling Devehshh Bali for 14 leaving Steve Harris and Liam Calnon not out and with plenty to do on the second day.

Samuel Foster starred with the bat as Kaipaki Green beat Melville Warriors by 15 runs in round six of the Hamilton Cup at Kaipaki Green on Saturday.

Melville won the toss and elected to bowl first in the 35 over match.

Foster scored 67 off 34 balls with six sixes and four fours while Sam Gutry provided great support before he was bowled for 44 off 42 balls.

Kaipaki was all out for 163 from 29.5 overs.

Jibeesh Chacko led the bowling for Melville with 3/26 off 5.5 overs.

In reply, Melville’s chase started disastrously with three wickets falling for only five runs after 2.2 overs.

Rehesh Menon and Tintu Rajan steadied the ship racing through to 73 runs before Rajan was out for 35 off 38 balls. Menon fell for the

same score and Melville was teetering at 93-6.

Despite Ajeesh Chandran and Sarath Sasidharan’s 27 and 23, the mountain was too high for Melville who were

all out for 148 after 31.4 overs.

Nick Alquist was the pick of the Kaipaki bowlers with 3/22 off five overs, which included two valuable maidens.

Kees Anderson of Kaipaki is bowled by Vidhu Booshan.

OBITUARY – MERV ADDISON

Farewell to Merv

By Viv Posselt

There would barely be a man alive who wouldn’t wish to exit this life on the same terms as 88-year-old Mervyn ‘Merv’ Addison.

Almost to the day he died, he was driving, living in his own home and enjoying ‘bird-nesting’ and ‘sleepovers’ with a special person, aided presumably by the only medication

‘Merv the Swerve’, then 54, in action at the Golden Oldies game in Brisbane.

Cambridge Tree Trust

he took despite his advanced years - the occasional Viagra.

That nugget of information raised a warm chuckle at Saturday’s memorial, held for Merv at a place dear to his heart, the Te Awamutu Sports Club. Most there were well acquainted with his easy nature and ready humour, his devotion to family, friends and the wider community.

Merv’s sudden passing in December leaves a chasm in Waipā and Waikato’s farming and sporting historical record.

He was known and respected across both spheres, enjoying success in farming, stock management and farm machinery sales. He was a lifelong supporter of many community clubs and organisations, and the masterful negotiator behind the founding of the Te Awamutu Rugby Sports and Recreation Club.

Perhaps less well known was his foray into land development, and his penchant for fortune telling.

“Merv loved talking to fortune tellers,” said nephew Peter Addison. “He’d visit them, then do exactly what they said was going to happen. I tried it years later… never worked for me.”

Merv was born in Te Kuiti and educated at Ōtorohanga District High. His pioneering father won a 150-acre ballot farm in the 1930s; he and his wife were a hard-working couple who before their home was built lived in a separated room in the cowshed when Merv, their middle child, arrived.

His dad went on to become one of Waikato’s biggest stock dealers, and a lifelong interest in horses regularly took father and son to the Cambridge horse sales.

Merv would ride home with a string of unbroken horses, then sell them on a week later as broken-in ponies. He would also ride his father’s racehorses to and from race meetings he entered.

Some of the family later moved to a peat farm outside Te Awamutu. Merv met and married his wife Carol while there, but later settled on Carol’s father’s farm in Kihikihi where the couple raised their three boys – Colin, Noel and Graeme – and where Merv remained until his death. When he handed on the hard yards of farming, he excelled again, this time selling tractors.

Merv Addison was known across the district’s farming and sporting circles.

Son Graeme remembers Merv as a supportive parent throughout. “He was a really good father. There was always lots of fun. He loved working in the community – right across Waipā, but particularly in Kihikihi and Te Awamutu.

He was involved with the local rodeo, loved rugby with a passion. Even after our parents split up, I would come and spend time with him whenever I could. Dad also supported my country music, pestering me to sing at different clubs.”

Te Awamutu Sports Club patron Lou Brown said Merv had been central to the establishment of the club in the late 1980s and had become its first president.

“It was his skills that negotiated that successfully … from that we have seen tremendous growth.”

“He was a tremendous guy … my uncle, my mate, my mentor,” said Peter. “I will miss him terribly but am really grateful he was able to leave on his own terms.”

JANUARY 2022

Going for home grown A young female farmer with a love of rural New Zealand is helping to launch DairyNZ’s latest campaign, which aims to give Kiwis a better understanding of what it means to be a dairy farmer.

The Join Us campaign is fronted by Eastern Bay of Plenty dairy farmer Shannon Munro, who has been dairy farming for about 10 years.

DairyNZ chief executive Dr Mackle says the campaign is part of a wider project – Here for the Long Game aiming to help communities understand what drives dairy farmers, and how they are working to provide a better future for their farms, the land, their families, their communities, and New Zealand.

“Dairy farmers are a core part of the economic, social, and environmental wellbeing of communities throughout New Zealand, and our wider Here For the Long Game campaign is a platform for dairy farmers to share with other Kiwis who they are and what they do in a way that’s open and fun,” he says.

The Join Us campaign looks into daily life on a farm - from working with machinery and technology to caring for animals and the land.

Shannon Munro her family opted to move away from urban city life to provide a different upbringing for their three children.

Her husband Steve was a builder and after the birth of their first son, she says they

They moved from Te Puke to Ngakuru, between Atiamuru and Rotorua, where Steve found a job as a farm assistant. With her son in tow, Shannon helped with calving and rearing the calves.

Over the next decade as their family expanded, they progressed into farm manager and 2IC roles, and then into contract milking, moving around the country as opportunities came up, including farming in Canterbury and the Waikato.

“We are now about 30 minutes from Whakatāne and are in our first year leasing a 66 ha dairy block, which was previously

Book is the bees’ needs A handbook showing how to plant strategically to feed bees is now available free to New Zealand farmers.

The document brings together knowledge from 10 years of field and laboratory research by the New Zealand Trees for Bees Research Trust, with support from the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) and other funders.

“It’s a useful tool to assist farmers support the bees and incorporate into their onfarm planting for biodiversity and other environmental benefits that customers are now demanding,” says Dr Angus McPherson, Trees for Bees farm planting adviser and trustee, one of the lead researchers for the handbook.

“We show farmers how to incorporate a low-maintenance bee forage planting plan into planting they’re already establishing

to increase production and improve their farmland.”

The handbook covers ten different types of plantations.

“We aim to help build more resilient and sustainable farms by taking the best possible care of our star performer – the honeybee,” says Dr McPherson.

“Bees all around the world are facing a number of threats, including pests, disease and pesticides. The best weapon against these threats is to provide our bees with a steady supply of forage to help them stay healthy and strong.

Since 2011, Trees for Bees has planted over 75,000 bee forage plants in 32 demonstration farms throughout New Zealand.

The Handbook for Planting Trees for Bees on Farms is available as a free PDF on the Trees for Bees website.

Shannon Munro is the face of the new campaign.

Time to speak up on emissions

Securing our future

By Jacqui Hahn, President Federated Farmers Waikato

By Stu Kneebone, Waikato Regional Councillor

Whether you’re a member of Federated Farmers or not, you may be puzzled or confused if you haven’t followed our numerous member publications on where we sit on Hwen (He Waka Eke Noa).

He Waka Eke Noa is the name given to the Primary Sector Climate Action Partnership that is tasked with measuring and pricing warming agricultural greenhouse gas emissions, namely methane and nitrous oxide.

Well, we have always sat with the work of leading international climate scientists, including New Zealand’s own David Frame, who produced GWP*. GWP* (Global Warming Potential) shows that stable methane is not the big warming contributor it’s made out to be by the standard international accounting metric (called GWP100).

The latter does not adequately take into account life cycles of gases, methane being mainly (but not completely) a short lived 12year cycle.

The small fraction of methane that warms for longer is why even with static livestock numbers a slight reduction of 0.3% per annum reduction is required – but nowhere near the reductions pushed through into the climate change targets.

It is still repeatedly and annoyingly stated that agricultural contributes 48% of New Zealand’s emissions annually, but this figure uses the out-dated GWP100 metric to lump all gases together.

It would be much more accurate to state that agriculture makes up 18% of long-lived emissions (that need to reach net zero) and

Forecast boosted

Fonterra has lifted its 2021-22 forecast Farmgate Milk Price range by 50 cents to between $8.90 and $9.50 per kg of milk solids.

Chief executive Miles Hurrell said the lift is good news for both farmers and New Zealand communities. The new midpoint of $9.20 would contribute $13.8 billion to the New Zealand economy this season.

“The increase is the result of consistent demand for dairy at a time of constrained global milk supply,” he said.

There were a number of factors the Coop was monitoring, including growing inflationary pressures impacting on operational costs, the increased potential for volatility as a result of high dairy prices and economic disruptions from Covid, particularly as governments respond to the rapid spread of the Omicron variant.

90% of short-lived emissions (that need to be reduced but not to zero). This split gas approach is very important.

Feds have done our best at making the policy outcomes of Hwen workable but the partnership is a very broad church and the final outcomes are a result of compromise.

We have not come out supporting either option put forward. What we want is for farmers to tell us what they want out of a pricing tool.

What we are hearing is that we are pretty much right in not supporting either option at this stage and need to be heard for a different option that truly acknowledges any reductions we make on individual farms.

As we see it, Ag is being used to buy time for new tech to save the nation from burning fossil fuels. Yet the government is not too keen on paying us for substantial cooling by further reducing stock numbers or plantings.

We still see food production as something to be protected and personally lately I’m doubting we need Hwen at all because stock are disappearing and will continue to do so.

As farmers we have to respond to nature; we face the brunt of the problems that arise from increasing number of days of soil deficits from a warming climate, meaning we are having to evolve and change quickly. What worked before is not necessarily working any more.

The Emissions Trading Scheme is pricing sheep and beef farmers out of the farmers market and a lawyer recently told me farmers should not put an emphasis on a farmer buying the farm rather than carbon farmers because there are smart businesspeople putting a farmer up to bid so the carbon farmers get the land even cheaper than if they were held to carbon prices.

Whether you are a pure environmentalist or farmer/would be farmer, seeing land bought up for blanket planting in exotic trees purely for carbon farming is equally disturbing.

At the same time the protections of the highest food producing land (typically suitable for vegetable and horticulture) have not been put in place.

When you look into the stats of land-use you will see that agricultural land had decreased by 14% between 2002-2019. The amount disappearing in the last 24 months will be a notable figure on top of that.

So believe me when I say all things greenhouse gases and solutions are very much front of mind around elected Federated Farmers.

Being heard is the struggle.

So when the DairyNZ and Beef+Lamb NZ Hwen workshops in February come around I want farmers to be loud and clear on your expectations and solutions.

Biological resources drive our economy, particularly in the Waikato.

Alongside our primary industry, we value highly our native flora and fauna, outdoor recreation and the associated benefits this provides for our tourism industry. Despite the fact that 26 per cent of our region is in native vegetation, there are more than 200 species of native plants and animals under threat of extinction.

This is predominantly due to the damage done by introduced animal pests, such as possums, mustelids, rats, wallabies, pigs and deer. Waikato Regional Council (WRC) puts a lot of resource into protecting and restoring native habitats, both directly with its own work programmes, and by supporting the efforts and work undertaken by a range of both private landowners, community groups and organisations throughout the region.

The Regional Pest Management Plan (RPMP) is the statutory document that sets out which pests will be controlled in the region and the expectations conferred on various parties to manage and control pests.

All Regional Councils are required to have an operative management plan which is reviewed every 10 years. The current plan is about to expire, and the new 2021 – 2031 plan will be operational by April. The council reports annually on progress and produces an annual operational plan. Both documents are available on the council website.

The Regional Council and any contractors it engages are required to comply with the Animal Welfare Act when undertaking animal pest control. In terms of toxin use, the Environmental Protection Authority

(EPA) is the governing body that regulates the use of pest control toxins such as Cyanide, Brodificium and 1080. Where there are instances of something going wrong, such as allegations of non-target deaths of farm livestock or placing of toxic bait outside of the specified control area, independent investigators to determine what has happened. If non target deaths of farm animals are found to be due to negligence, compensation is payable to the livestock owner. However in situations where negligence by other parties has allowed farm livestock to access a prohibited pest control operational area, this is not deemed to be the fault of WRC. These situations are really no different to farm animals gaining access to a state highway or something similar where they should not be. However in saying this, council and its contractors go to considerable effort to ensure adjoining landowners are aware of pest control operations.

While acknowledging the views of others who do not support the use of some toxins, we go to great lengths to make sure our choices are guided by peer reviewed science authored by scientists. The close association council has with significant organisations who are also involved in pest control enables our scientists to keep at the forefront of current thinking in this area.

As your representatives on the council Andrew MacPherson (021 932 624) and I (021 943 055) welcome your feedback and input into our thinking on the matters discussed above and are always happy to discuss.

Kidneys of the landscape 20 | CAMBRIDGE NEWS

COUNTRYLIFE

THURSDAY JANUARY 27, 2022

By Bala Tikkisetty

Wetlands are like giant kidneys, protecting the health of waterways by helping to dilute and filter harmful material.

With World Wetlands Day occurring on 2 February, it is a good time to reflect on these and other benefits that wetlands provide.

Wetlands once covered large areas of the country. Now they are some of our rarest and most at-risk ecosystems. They contain a diverse range of plants and animals and are home to many rare and threatened species that are remnants of the original biodiversity of the area.

It is estimated that about 90 per cent of New Zealand’s wetlands have been drained over time, with wetlands now occupying only about two per cent of the country’s total land area. This is one of the largest wetland losses anywhere in the world.

Wetland is a generic term for the wet margins of lakes, ponds, rivers, streams, estuaries, lagoons, bogs and swamps.

Natural wetlands have been appropriately termed the ‘kidneys of the landscape’, because of their ability to store, assimilate and transform contaminants lost from the land before they reach waterways.

One of the practices for reducing the effects of intensive agriculture is to strategically incorporate wetlands into farming systems. Sometimes it may be as simple as fencing

Forest and Bird and the National Wetland Trust released a series of pictures, including this one from Waikato ahead of World Wetland Day 2020 to illustrate how freshwater wetlands (marked with a blue outline) on private land had completely or partially disappeared from 2001-2016.

out existing wet areas, or it might involve creating one with a low bank.

Many farms have low-lying and wet areas that can be managed as small wetlands with minimal impact on farm production, but potentially major benefits for water quality and biodiversity.

Nitrogen, phosphorous, sediment and pathogens enter waterways through groundwater and surface runoff. Wetland vegetation uses these nutrients for growth. Research indicates that wetlands remove up to 90 per cent of nitrates from groundwater through a process called denitrification. Wetland plants trap sediment suspended in water, improving water quality. In riparian areas, their roots hold a stream bank

together, reducing erosion.

Nutrient loss from farms is greatest when the volume and speed of runoff water is greatest, either through surface runoff or through the soil profile. Therefore, slowing down and controlling water movements across farmland is a critical factor in reducing nutrient loss into waterways.

A series of small, shallow sediment traps or sediment retention dams can be constructed throughout the catchment to take some of the energy out of the water. If these are managed to remain wet for most of the year, they will replace those kidney-like functions and enhance the farm’s environmental outcomes.

Wetlands will also regulate the

flow of water by soaking up excess floodwater and then slowly releasing it to maintain summer flows or recharge groundwater.

Bigger is generally better, but within a farm, small areas are good because you can create more of them, they are generally well-suited to fit into a farm’s budget and topography, they treat the contaminants close to where they come from, and they can generate a more widespread biodiversity benefit across your farm.

Waikato Regional Council can offer free advice to landowners on managing wetlands, including information on fencing, planting and weed control.

It’s important to check the rules and regulations, and to seek good quality advice to ensure our

wetlands are properly cared for as complex, delicate ecosystems in a productive agricultural landscape.

Before undertaking any excavation work, always check with your local council on regulations regarding earthworks in and around natural waterways and wetlands. Councils generally have rules regarding the height of embankments and dams, the size of the catchment impounded and the total volume or area of earthworks. Fish passage may also need to be maintained where areas of suitable habitat occur upstream.

I also suggest all farmers and landowners read the recently updated informative document called Farmer’s Guide to Environmental Rules on our website: waikatoregion.govt.nz/for-farmers.

Flavours

with Jan Bilton

Hooked on herbs

The aromas and colours of fresh herbs enhance any garden.

And herbs add pizzazz to many a simple summer dish.

Vietnamese mint (or laksa leaf) does not belong to the common mint family. It has a long, pointed leaf with distinctive markings in the centre.

It is normally eaten fresh in salads or in uncooked Vietnamese spring rolls. Vietnamese mint is running amok in my garden. If I drop a sprig it takes root and another plant appears.

French tarragon has a seductive flavour and is essential in the traditional French Poulet a l’estragon.

Add a little to melted butter to flavour vegetables; infuse it in vinegar to make tarragon vinegar for use in sauces; or add a few leaves to tomato dishes, salads and seafood.

Basil’s aromatic leaves form the basis of the traditional pesto but also add fragrance to Thai curries.

To maximise flavour, basil should be sliced rather than chopped. There are many varieties including: sweet, bush, purple, lettuce leaf, sacred or holy and lemon.

GNOCCHI WITH BASIL & LEMON I used fresh gnocchi imported from Italy and very fortunately available from the dairy cabinet in my local supermarket. It only needs a 2 minute simmer or about 3 minutes panfrying. It is very tender.

Alternatively, use vacuum-packed gnocchi and boil according to the packet instructions 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil 1 medium courgette, thinly sliced 50g butter, chopped 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves 2 tablespoons lemon juice 120g baby spinach leaves 6 cherry tomatoes, halved 400g fresh potato gnocchi shredded parmesan, to serve Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the courgette and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes or until just tender and golden. Place aside.

Gnocchi with basil and lemon

Green salad with vietnamese mint dressing

Melt the butter in the pan. Add the basil leaves and cook until they are just crisp. Stir in the lemon juice, spinach and tomatoes. Add the gnocchi and cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes. Return the vegetables to the pan. Cover and warm through. Serve topped with parmesan. Serves 2.

add to the dressing just before serving.

Bring a large frying pan of water to the boil. Blanch the beans and asparagus in batches until crisp-tender. Lift out with tongs and refresh in icy water. Drain and pat dry.

Layer in a serving dish together with the small Vietnamese mint leaves. Top with the avo, if using. Drizzle with the dressing just before serving. Serves 4.

GREEN SALAD WITH VIETNAMESE MINT DRESSING Vietnamese mint adds zest to this salad and moreish dressing.

Dressing: 1 small chilli, seeded 1 large clove garlic, chopped 2 teaspoons rice vinegar 1 tablespoon each: sugar, lime juice, fish sauce 2 Vietnamese mint leaves, chopped 1 small shallot, diced Salad: 8 small round green beans 8 asparagus spears 8 small Vietnamese mint leaves 1 avocado, halved, stoned peeled and sliced, optional To make the dressing, place the chilli, garlic, vinegar, sugar, lime juice, fish sauce and Vietnamese mint leaves in a blender. Mix until smooth.

Place the shallot in icy water for 30 minutes then drain and

TARRAGON & MUSHROOM SAUCE Great for grilled or roasted chicken or steak. The butter thickens the sauce making it quite rich.

75g small brown button mushrooms. sliced 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 clove garlic, crushed 1 small shallot, diced 1/2 cup red wine 50g butter, diced 1/4 cup fresh French tarragon leaves Sauté the mushrooms in the oil in a small saucepan on medium heat, until softened. Add the garlic and shallot and cook for 1 minute. Pour in the wine and simmer until slightly reduced. Whisk in the butter, a little at a time, until melted. Stir in the tarragon. Serves 3-4.

GENERAL MANAGER Since 1985, Cambridge Community House has been providing the local community with a range of social and educational services and encouraging the people of Cambridge to make positive changes to their lives. As the area’s only social service and well-being provider, they offer confidential and professional support from qualified staff in a safe environment. Some of the counselling and support they offer includes: •

General Counselling

•

Family relationships and support

•

Financial mentoring

•

Alcohol and drug addiction support

The position of General Manager is to provide collaborative leadership to the small team of professional staff who deliver the Trust’s services. Reporting directly to the Board you will ensure the Trust directives, plans, policies and procedures are carried out. Overseeing the service and contract management will be a key part of your delivery, as will ensuring the financial effectiveness of the organisation.

Networking locally will be critical to your success, which will involve presenting to local community groups, supporting fundraising initiatives, and developing a presence amongst local businesses. You will demonstrate some marketing experience, an understanding of business and operational plans and a keen interest in IT systems and processes.

This hands on position will offer variety, challenge and the opportunity to continue to develop the positive impact that the Trust has on the local community. Previous leadership experience within an NGO or private health organisation will be an advantage but is not essential. A solid understanding of the not-for-profit sector is preferred.
