Saluting local heroes

By Steph Bell-Jenkins

Fire service volunteers and ambulance staff are “amazing”, say Cambridge friends Carolyn Wallis and Matt Johnston.

Carolyn and Matt witnessed first responders in action on February 7 after Matt’s father Greg suffered a cardiac arrest at his Cambridge home (see story page 10).

They got to Greg’s house before first responders did and helped to save his life by doing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).

Seeing four volunteer firefighters arriving was “like a guiding light coming through the door”, Carolyn said.

“They just cut his t-shirt open and they were so strong; they just got him either side and they just pulled him into the middle of the floor. And then about six paramedics came in and got drips and lines into him and hooked him up to the monitor.”

She wants to give a particular “shout out” to the volunteer firefighters.

“It was 10 past six at night, all those men would’ve just been sitting down to dinner with their families, and they’ve clicked into going to a situation like that and they were so professional and so supportive of the situation,” she said.

“They had Greg in the right place for the ambulance people to do their job, they did great CPR, they read the situation that they needed a gurney (stretcher). For non-professionals in that situation and being volunteers, they were just amazing. And I don’t know how many people in the community realise that our volunteer firemen do that. Some firemen go to medical emergency calls and it’s a lot to be recognised, to be honest.

“I said to them, after it was all finished, you guys are awesome.”

Matt said he couldn’t thank Carolyn and the first responders enough for their help.

“We were talking about it afterwards that – especially for the volunteer guys – it must be a very strange feeling to get a call and you might be having tea or doing whatever you’re doing, you go in, you do CPR on someone for 20 minutes and then you go home and you go back to your normal life,” he said.

“It’s quite a strange thing to think about for someone that doesn’t have to do that. It’s pretty unreal.

“I guess I kind of knew the fire services did a bit of CPR stuff but your first reaction to a siren is oh, it’s probably a car accident somewhere, but they do so many other things just to help their community. It’s awesome.”

As you will see on page 3, police had a great catch following a report of cars doing burnouts in Leamington. The apprehension of eight youths from the Auckland area was a combination of good work from Cambridge and Te Awamutu staff plus a police dog handler.

So often in this job, teamwork is what it is all, about when achieving great outcomes.

This also applies when we are working with external agencies. As community liaison officer, I have developed strong networks with local agencies such as Ministry of Social Development, Kainga Ora, Corrections, Antiques Alys Community Mental Health, Cambridge t & Fine Ar Community House, Age Concern, Neighbourhood Support and more.

Often a combined approach to problem solving ensures we all get a complete picture of a situation which in turn enables us to provide an effective solution using our various ‘toolboxes.’ As the incident above

Mayoral race

It is interesting to see that at least four current councillors might stand for mayor.

Questions arise if any of these would be suitable for the position. Would they put their current position up for grabs to other people so not stand for council?

What have they achieved in the years they have been on council? Would they keep pushing for the level of spending they have been doing and still promoting? Examples would be library, museum, Cambridge pool, and of course the debacle of the spending on cycleways, Memorial Park, excessive subdivisions and the like.

Their handling of Three Waters needs also to be questioned.

A comment was made that Te Awamutu has been advantaged over the years - so time

for a Cambridge mayor? Whatever happens it will be a voters’ decision.

I certainly hope that whoever stands for mayor will keep to their promises on what they are going to do. It also would be great if elected people will listen to the majority of the ratepayers’ opinions when receiving submissions. Great example would be the Memorial Park. This also applies to whoever stands for council and community boards.

With the current situation of uncertainty over Covid and Russia/Ukraine I personally feel that local government will have to look after the ratepayers. Rate increases for white elephants would be inappropriate.

My idea of a mayor is someone who is part of a team, has an ear for alternative views, is able to delegate and is a people’s person.

Jim, the current mayor, will tell you that it’s not an easy job and you cannot please everybody.

Thanks to you

Thank you so much for putting an article in last week’s Cambridge News, mentioning that our Lions Trash n Treasure Sunday Market is resuming on Sunday after a Covid break, and will be at a new venue, Memorial Park in Taylor Street. Thank you also for getting Mary Anne Gill to help us by writing the article and taking photos. It was a delight to work with her. Your support of Cambridge Lions is really appreciated.

The soap box article (News, August 2020) regarding the road and traffic issues continues to be of high importance to the community and the recent reporting prompted these comments.

The Council in August 2021 approved of the C4 subdivision from Kaipaki and Cambridge Rd Intersection. This intersection is to be identified in the future as the entrance point to Cambridge with approximately 120 dwellings to the east .

This decision took no consideration to reducing speed limits on the 1.5 km section of the road with only one access point servicing this subdivision. Contrary to three expert traffic reports that stated concerns over the 80km speed limit and subdivision access to Cambridge Rd the Council refuted the evidence preferring to avoid costs of upgrading this 1.5 km road to an urban design standard. In comparison Council spent over $5 M on 19Ha land for a reserve that will require huge sums to upgrade and keep.

The Regional Land Transport Plan 2021 has a requirement to meet Arataki, Road Safety, Growth, Climate change, and GPS .

In my opinion and that of the expert traffic engineers the Council have failed to meet these requirements The heavy transport of logs , containers , milk tankers all travel via the Pope Tce roundabout . High level bridge traffic has to give way which causes traffic congestion on this bridge at certain times and this will only increase .

These trucks including other traffic need a new bridge sited north of the town. A strategic traffic plan including this bridge would divert the heavy traffic from the town and reduce the travel distance for the milk tankers by 2.4 km per trip, a considerable saving with the multiple trips made each day by these tankers .

The Council will not consult, preferring to act in a perfunctory matter of in difference and relying on out dated population growth reports .

Perhaps a signed petition from the residents supporting these traffic and the new bridge issues will bring some indication to the level of rate payer concern.

shows, community information is an extra and important ingredient in the mix.

On that note, we have recently received reports of cars doing burnouts and people acting in a drunk and disorderly manner in the Keeley’s reserve area of Lake Karāpiro.

This is an area well used for sports and recreation purposes, providing as it does access to boat ramps and camping.

Any damage to the reserve affects us all.

Community information will help us stop this from happening.

If you see something happening of concern at Keeley’s Reserve (or any other of our lake front recreation parks), please call 111 at the time.

Crime prevention requires us all to step up and make a call rather than hoping someone else will take the initiative. If offenders are not apprehended, the areas will gain a reputation as easy locations and continue to be misused.

We all deserve to feel safe to use this area.

Among the burglaries of late, we had two where meat was stolen from freezers. Both were in rural properties.

This serves as a reminder that even remote locations can be targeted. All it takes is for someone to know there is a beast in the freezer, mention it to a mate, and you may get targeted. The meat may also end up on-sold.

If you have a freezer in an unsecured garage or shed, consider adding a lock to the freezer itself. I also recommend installing CCTV to cover the farmhouse and outbuildings. When it comes to implement sheds, taking a photo or short video of the contents is also helpful.

So often otherwise after a burglary has happened, it is only when the victim goes to use a particular tool, days or weeks later, that they realise it was missing.

Until next week, look after yourselves and each other. Deb

Webinar planned

Predator Free Cambridge will host a webinar about the Bush to Burbs (B2B) project next Tuesday from 7pm. B2B is about rural landowners from the Maunga to Leamington coordinating predator control efforts to protect native birds once they leave the safety of the predator proof fence. The webinar will also be recorded.

Trustee stands down

The News senior writer Mary Anne Gill has stood down from the Cambridge Town Hall Community Trust because of her conflict-ofinterest concerns. Gill was appointed to the Trust before she started working at The News. “In recent weeks it has become clear to me that I have a conflict of interest which makes it increasingly difficult for me to be effective as a trustee and do my job as an impartial and independent journalist for Good Local Media.”

Living wage

Braemar Hospital in Hamilton has become the first hospital in New Zealand to become an accredited Living Wage Employer. The hospital, one of the largest private hospitals in New Zealand, announced it would begin paying its lowest paid workers including cleaners, clinical sterile services housekeepers, kitchen staff and contracted staff at least the living wage rate of $22.75 an hour - $2.75 above the current minimum wage set by the Government in April last year.

Ngaroto looking up

The state of Lake Ngaroto is a lot better than it has been says acting community services manager Brad Ward. He told the community board that the latest testing revealed no dead waterfowl, however, dead fish and eels maintain a common occurrence. “The cyanobacteria levels are low enough that recreational activities can proceed,” he said. Ward also announced the new boat ramp has opened to the public this week.

Council eyes library site

By Mary Anne Gill

More details of the thwarted attempt by Waipā District Council to buy the former Bunnings building in Cambridge for a new library have been revealed as has an alternative site.

The council’s Property Projects manager John Miles told the Cambridge Community Board last week the council was in partnership with another company and felt they had a better proposition than a car dealer “That made it stack up from council’s point of view,” he said.

Armed with valuation advice, the council made an offer. “We thought we had a better proposition being the council.”

Instead, the council was gazumped by Ingham, one of New Zealand’s largest car dealers.

Board member Mike Montgomerie quizzed Miles on the details saying, “from our point of view it does seem like a bit of a miss.”

“If it got too expensive, we can understand that,” he said.

“There were two of us in the running for it. They went with the other one. I don’t know what was paid for it, but I’ve heard a rumour that it was higher than ours but not by much,” said Miles.

“We tried our best but unfortunately Bunnings went with the other party.”

The site is a mixture of freehold and leasehold, he said. The ground lease is $220,000 a year which the council’s partner in the Bunnings offer would have paid, he said.

“If it had all come together, in my view, it would have been a good opportunity for the council.”

Community Services

acting manager Brad Ward said staff were “really hoping” for a different outcome.

“We could have funded a community hub around it,” he said, and it would have been a nice opportunity to have a decent-sized playground in town.

Asked by member Elise Badger whether Miles had other locations in mind for a new library, he revealed he always favoured councilowned land in Milicich Place, behind the museum.

“We’ve got all these bits and pieces of buildings that aren’t used all the time,” said Miles.

With little vacant land elsewhere in Cambridge, there might be an opportunity to do a development on the site.

On current projections, Cambridge needed a library of about 2500 square metres, significantly more than its

Land in Milicich Road behind the museum and including the car park, toilet block, Red Cross, Cambridge Taxi and Fonterra distribution depot buildings, would make an ideal site for a new library and community centre, says a council manager.

Vaccine refusal threatens jobs

By Mary Anne Gill

Several Waipā district council staff face losing their jobs because they refused to get Covid vaccinations.

The News understands 50 of the council’s 330 staff did not initially support the council’s Covid-19 Staff Vaccination Policy when it went out for consultation in December.

The policy came into effect on January 10 and staff had until January 21 to provide evidence of their first vaccination and until February 18 of their second.

There are now fewer than 10

staff who refuse to be vaccinated who could lose their jobs in April and The News understands that includes two with more than 50 years’ experience between them.

About 40 staff members, who did not support the mandate, agreed to be vaccinated to comply with the policy.

Council chief executive Garry Dyet would not confirm if or how many staff would be made redundant.

“We have worked through a fair and transparent process with those employees who chose not to provide evidence of full vaccination, including the

exploration of alternative working arrangements, where feasible. Our people are important to us, and we are still working with them through this process,” he said.

Dyet said until the process was concluded, he could not offer any further comment.

Meanwhile a positive case of Covid was reported yesterday in the council’s Cambridge Service Centre.

“Our Cambridge office remains open – we have had a positive case within the team reported, however they have followed all processes in place and are isolating at home,” said Dyet.

Call for comments on council fees

By Mary Anne Gill

Waipā mayor Jim Mylchreest says releasing the council’s proposed fees and charges for consultation gives the public a “great opportunity” to feedback.

“We’ve got to make sure all these fees can be backed up in terms of the costs we rack up,” he told council’s Strategic Planning and Policy committee last week.

“If we can’t actually justify those charges, we should

be looking at them (again).”

The council has recommended a two per cent increase to account for inflation and proposed some other changes.

• Building Control fees have increased between 2 and 2.5 per cent reflecting staff costs • A new transportable build charge to cover the cost of staff inspecting ‘build in the yard’ houses moved on site into Waipā Continued on page 11

said the council might also want to consider establishing a suburban library in Leamington.

Youths nabbed after car stolen A car stolen from the forecourt of Mobil Service Station in Queen Street, Cambridge on the weekend set off a series of events which resulted in the arrest of eight youths.

The incident was a timely reminder not to leave car keys in the ignition when vehicles are left, community liaison officer Deb Thurgood said.

Reports came through to the police from Leamington where youths were allegedly driving three stolen cars around a cemetery and doing burnouts.

Police caught up with seven youths after they abandoned the vehicles and ran away.

One other youth fled in a stolen vehicle and was later stopped and arrested.

All the youths were from the Auckland area.

Senior Sergeant David Hall thanked the public for calling in suspicious information and enabling police to respond quickly.

“This event demonstrates the importance of community information. Quick reporting by local residents led to multiple arrests and several crimes being solved,” he said.

Police investigations are continuing and further charges are likely.

Wheels are turning

By Mary Anne Gill

More than 1400 people used the new 4.5km Waipā section of the Te Awa River Ride on the weekend, including the council’s chief executive.

Garry Dyet and wife Donna parked their car at the Cambridge Gaslight Theatre, rode through to Hooker Road and back again before grabbing a refreshing drink at the Velodrome.

The couple recently completed a week-long bike tour in the South Island so are keen to keep the participation levels up on their e-bikes.

Another couple tried a different way of using the $6.7 million shared ride which includes three bridges, 5.4kms of concreted footpath and 1.2kms of timber boardwalk.

Elizabeth and Ian Hicks put their pack rafts in at the boat ramp below Fergusson “Low Level” Bridge and had a nice relaxing paddle 7kms down the Waikato

Garry and Donna Dyet on the Te Awa River Ride section below St Peter’s School in Cambridge.

River to the second picnic area by the waterfall.

The pack rafts weigh just over 2kg, can fold up and get put into a day pack.

Elizabeth said the couple planned to do other river trips.

“It is always better to walk up stream and then paddle back down. In preparation for this trip, we biked the new section of the Te Awa trail during the week to check out the condition of the river and the places we could safely get out of the river,” she said.

Their next trip would be a paddle all the way to Hamilton Gardens where they will treat themselves to lunch and then catch the bus back to Cambridge.

Te Awa Ride trustee and former Olympic cycling gold medallist Sarah Ulmer and partner Brendon Cameron, a former Commonwealth Games cycling medallist and high performance coach, were also out on the ride but for a different reason.

They were tidying up signage and identifying tagging, which has already begun to appear.

Ulmer said she was annoyed at the tagging and appealed to ride users to report anything they saw to the council.

Meanwhile securing a 19ha Maungatautari property recently for the extension of the Te Awa River Ride from Karāpiro to Waipuke Park completes a long-held Waipā District Council vision.

The council bought 40ha of land in 2001 at Waipuke to create a swimming, picnicking and kayaking spot for Waipā residents and their families.

Since opening the park in 2015, the council have added accessways and a playground.

Property Projects manager John Miles told the Cambridge Community Board last week the new property adjoins Waipuke.

“The key was to buy it while it was on the market, to get it for a cycle route. We’ve got the land, it’s just a matter of getting the funding in the Long Term Plan to tidy up that piece of track,” he said.

The ride in the Waipā district would take people from Whakanui Stud to Waipuke, he said.

“So go on your bike and go for a ride,” said Miles.

Wardens on patrol

Here to help: Cambridge Māori wardens are helping people collect their free Rapid Antigen Tests at Cambridge Raceway, from left, Aaron Wilson, Maree Paparoa, Alizeyah, 6, of Cambridge East Primary School and Nate Ngatai.

By Mary Anne Gill

Maree Paparoa loves Cambridge so much she volunteered to cop the odd abuse and terse word because “it’s my town.”

Maree is part of the Cambridge Māori warden presence at Cambridge Raceway directing traffic to the Rapid Antigen Tests (Rats) community collection site.

She also helped at vaccination sites in Cambridge, Te Awamutu, Putāruru, Wellington and Palmerston North.

Three wardens from a pool of 11 will be on the Raceway site seven days a week for the next four months on a voluntary basis directing traffic.

The first day on March 1 was an “absolute shambles,” she admits.

“We recognised the problem, we sorted it out. Turns out we had no cones, no system. The first day, cars

were going around in loops. By day three we were on top of everything.”

Most of the comment on social media has been glowing with the odd niggly word while on site, the biggest problem has been people trying to come in through the exit and going direct to the Waikato DHB staff issuing the Rats tests.

“They say things like ‘but we ordered online.’ It doesn’t matter, they need to go in the entrance,” says Maree.

Meanwhile it was a poignant day for Maree and her family on Sunday as they remembered her mother Mere Devine who died on March 7 last year. She had led the Cambridge Māori wardens since 1972.

While the one year anniversary would usually be a time for an unveiling, that is on hold until the whole whānau can come together, she said.

School Showcase

Letters to Ukraine In the Year 7 and 8 classes, students have been learning about peace. They were inspired to write letters to the Ukrainian President - Volodymyr Zelenskyy offering their support and prayers.

Spirit Week is where the students aim to build our school spirit and pride at the start of the year, with a range of fun and competitive activities. Normally it starts with Athletics Day and wraps up with the Swimming Sports. This year things were done a little differently.

Every day during this week, our head students (well those that weren’t isolating because of Covid) planned a range of events and even the lunch menu each day. All were student-driven and student-led. Staff and students embraced the exciting week, which was themed Mind, Body and Spirit.

Wacky by name and wacky by nature.

Students and staff alike dressed up and donated a gold coin for the great cause of Mvumi School in Tanzania. Mvumi is our sister school and was established by past Principal, Richard Morris. Each year Thornton House raises funds to support the students learning at Mvumi.

Top in New Zealand Year 9 Lachie Wallace receives his certificates and medal for achieving the top spot in New Zealand for spelling and

mathematics in the 2021 ICAS exams.

Lachie is pictured receiving his award from Campus Principal, Julie Small.

Jump Jam outside the Year 7 & 8 school and later by the Student Centre was popular and some great moves were seen being performed.

We kicked off the week with Musical Monday, which involved live music being played around the school during intervals, a music quiz and the very popular slushies.

Thursday was about being thoughtful towards our fellow students . Boxes were scattered around the school where students were invited to make kind comments about each other. These were drawn out and prizes handed out around the school to those who have been reaching out to others.

Tuesday we travelled around the world on campus, learning greetings in different languages. During Learning Groups we watched a video created by Hanna House Leader Fleming Wang of students and staff expressing their favourite travel destination. Students also played travel kahoot which was keenly contested by each group - some of us realised how much we were missing overseas travel.

At lunch time a game of Ki-o-rahi was played. This is a traditional Maori ball game that is a combination of netball, handball and tag/ripper rugby.

With the opening of the borders later this year, we are seeking homestays for our international students.

Cayden bounces back for lead role

By Viv Posselt

Cayden Buitendach’s elevation to head boy at Hamilton Boys’ High School is made more significant when held up against the gruelling battle he has been through.

Just one football game in May last year left Cayden with severe concussion, effectively robbing him of 10 months of normal life. He couldn’t return to school, couldn’t concentrate without fading out, his vision and balance went haywire and there were times he couldn’t stand up. Driving was out of the question, sport a distant dream… and he feared he’d lose his academic edge.

“The really bad part lasted about five months,” he said. “I’d been aiming for academic honours and excellence but couldn’t sit any exams. I had seven credits and needed 50 to get honours. At the beginning of November, when the seniors went on study leave, I was finally able to go to school for several hours at a time… I caught up in four weeks.”

Cayden didn’t just catch up, he aced it. With unflinching school support, he did eight papers in four weeks, gaining excellence in

all and his coveted academic honours. This year, he’s doing chemistry, biology, physics, English and maths.

Leaving high school with strong academic and sporting grades is an important goal as he casts his eye on a full sports scholarship to an American university to do a pre-med course. The long-term prize is a career in medicine, something he says has been affirmed by his own recent experience and ongoing contact with medical specialists.

His proud parents, Wanda and Gerhard, say their boy has been infused with drive and determination from the start. They left South Africa for New Zealand 17 years ago, settling in Cambridge when Cayden was just five months old, later adding daughter Cayla to the family.

He attended Goodwood School then Cambridge Middle School before starting at Hamilton Boys’ High. In 2018 he was the overall winner of ‘Best in Fair’ at the Waikato Science and Technology Fair for his project ‘Blown Away’, one that examined the potential for dimples on aircraft wings to reduce drag.

Service is important to him. He has his bronze Duke of Edinburgh award and

stalled numerous significant opportunities, but he is excited to get back into it now, playing both for his school 1st XI and club, Melville United. He is also training for trials for the NZ U20 team.

Life is starting to look good again for Cayden. His is “about 95 percent” symptomfree, he reckons. He’s

been working at Palate in Hamilton over summer but will now drop those hours back. His role as head boy won’t be a walk in the park; the school has around 2300 students and he will have to handle a lot of administrative tasks, liaising all the while with his five deputies and 35 prefects.

Most of all, Cayden is

beyond excited to be back among it after so many months of struggle and isolation. It’s time to give something back, he thinks.

“I want to be a spokesperson at school for concussion and what it means. There is so much you just don’t know about until it affects you. I’d like to help where I can.”

High praise from headmaster

Cambridge’s Cayden Buitendach is aiming for a full sports scholarship to an American university.

will go for silver this year.

He has volunteered with Cambridge Resthaven and its community garden and helps refugee students at his school learn to swim.

Cayden has always loved anything to do with sport, excelling with both cricket and football from a young age, grasping every opportunity afforded him.

At age 11, he played football in Australia, and in 2019 played in Las Vegas. Success in cricket saw him play for Waikato Valley, and he was awarded Junior Secondary Best Bowler for the 2019/20 season.

Last year’s accident

Hamilton Boys’ High School headmaster Susan Hassall describes Cayden Buitendach as a ‘superb role model for every young man in our world’ - gracious and humble, committed to serving others.

“I was very proud to have the opportunity to announce Cayden as our head boy for 2022. He received a wonderful ovation from his peers, and the announcement was very popular with staff,” said Hassall, who, like Cayden, lives in Cambridge.

“Cayden demonstrates all the qualities in a young man that we cherish as a school. He aspires to be the best he can be, he is a very talented athlete and an outstanding scholar,” she added.

“He has shown genuine courage, in so many ways, in his response to the serious concussion he received last football season. He recognises the need for love and care in everything he does, as a leader, as a young man.”

AGE OF REASON

FAITH IN WAIPĀ

A bouquet from a cyclist

The truth sets us free

Over the weekend I had a very pleasant ride on my nine-years-old bicycle.

It’s a folding type to fit in the car and, as befits my (almost) 81 years, has a battery driven support mechanism for the harder bits. But first some background.

In 2009 Prime Minister John Key shaped his new cabinet reserving the Tourism portfolio for himself. And in doing so hit on the idea, and subsequent announcement, of a $50 million government-driven initiative to boost tourism.

This figure was later by another $30 million thanks to local councils and other organisations.

This was through the provision of a national network of Cape Reinga to Bluff cycleways that would provide a different type of tourism enjoyment and surround itself with supporting commercial initiatives such as food outlets, accommodation and cycle hire. And here let us be clear – we do not have to welcome overseas visitors onto our shores to enjoy tourism.

As the Covid restrictions have proved we are entirely capable of undertaking Kiwi tourism on our own initiative, as witnessed by the severe shortage of campervans and caravans currently. I sold our four year old campervan the other day at a price several thousand dollars more than we paid for it when it was new.

Key was scoffed at by some who thought the idea of creating job opportunities to construct the cycleways smacked of depression-era made work schemes. Who cares so long as it got fit and healthy people off the WINZ books?

In 2018 the media reported that in that year 1.3 million cycle trips on purpose-built paths and old rail tracks had been undertaken by 400,000 riders.

Sometimes it requires passionate people, who may not necessarily have a strong commercial

I’m grateful to have been brought up in a family where a strong work ethic was passed on to us from an early age. Doing chores and getting pocket money meant watching savings grow. Later, outside the home, before school jobs (like paper runs) and after school jobs became part of the weekly routine.

I had an after school job delivering prescriptions for a local pharmacy. I’d ride my bike to the shop where a pile of medicines that the chemist had made up, awaited delivery - mostly to elderly folk who couldn’t get out.

One day for some reason I borrowed my sister’s bike. It was a girl’s stepthrough bike with a cane basket buckled, with leather straps to the handlebars.

The basket seemed ideal for carrying the deliveries - more convenient than the saddle bags hanging off a carrier on the back of my own bike.

Riding along with delivery items sitting in the basket, a dreadful mishap occurred.

The cane basket slipped off the handle bars, onto the front wheel upending the bike and despite my efforts to protect the pharmaceutical products they scattered in all directions.

Most of the goods were ok but to my horror a torn paper bag and its contents had not fared well - inside, a glass jar filled with a white cream had smashed on the ground and it was ‘laced’ with shards of broken glass all through it. The label indicated it was for a lady to rub on her face twice daily.

Although very young, I was smart enough to know I could not deliver the cream and be responsible for a lady

background, to wake up the general populace and clear away their blinkered fog. To realise that there is both land and opportunity to create not only tourism opportunity but to encourage the local populace to embrace new fitness ideals in a world where fast food is having a debilitating effect on their bodies.

Such a far-sighted person is our own Sarah Ulmer – for me the hero of the 2004 Olympics in Greece - when she put her body on the line to bring home the gold. Sarah will have been criticised by some for beating the cycleway drum but all praise to her for her dogged determination.

This was brought home to me when I took my ancient and creaking knees over the newly completed section of the Gaslight Theatre to Hooker Road section of the much lengthier cycleway that will link Ngāruawāhia and Cambridge (with later extensions). This is an excellent, well built and not too debilitating wide pathway entirely capable of embracing both cyclists and walkers. It is right down by that unrealised gem - the Waikato River. Up hill and down dale and a bit of a hard pull up to the exit ridge at Hooker Road. If you feel that a return trip along the path may be too much for your ailing body, then my choice of riding back to town along the main road was both safe and relaxing. The new section from Resthaven to St Andrews church is wide, double laned and with a separate and safe path for walkers.

So, to Sarah, NZTA who used funds left over from the Expressway construction, local councils etc – take a bow. You have further enhanced a lovely town that will benefit from your determination and foresight.

cutting her face to ribbons with shattered glass all through the contents!

I sat in the gutter miserably contemplating my options. Run away and never return? Dump the broken jar and its remains somewhere and pretend it must have got lost…? Or own up to the chemist about my accident and ‘face the music’. I chose the latter.

It was hard telling the truth and apologising while presenting the cluggy remains. He was upset and less than gracious, explaining that concocting the potion had been time consuming and expensive.

Opening the till, he placed a handful of coins which would have been my weekly wage on the counter. “This was going to be your pay,” he said, “but now it’s mine.” Then he put the money back in the till.

I went home tearfully but learned a bunch of valuable life lessons from that encounter. It is remarkable to me as I write this, how vividly I remember the details of that episode. I’m glad I fronted up. God sees everything and lying to conceal wrongdoing just amasses a rubbish dump inside us.

Ruthless honesty pays, even when it costs you something. In the Bible’s Book of Proverbs, it says, “He that hides his sins, shall not prosper: but he that shall confess, and forsake them, shall obtain mercy.”

Businesses push for more clarity

By Viv Posselt

Clarity around Covid traffic light levels and timeframes, less confusion around mandates and financial support packages, and a call to open borders to international tourists as

soon as possible – these were some of the concerns voiced to Taupō MP Louise Upston earlier this week.

The MP headed an openair meeting at Mighty River Domain at Lake Karāpiro on Monday. The aim was to hear about problems being

experienced by tourism and hospitality businesses, and events and accommodation providers, and clarify the message they want her to take to government officials in Wellington.

Among those attending were Waipā District Council

Bech eyes Waikato chains

Tamahere councillor Aksel Bech is to stand for mayor of the Waikato district in this year’s local body elections the, Tamahere Forum website has revealed.

Bech, who is also Waikato deputy mayor, announced his candidacy following news long serving mayor Allan Sanson would not seek re-election.

Bech, a Tamahere resident, has been on the Waikato council for six years, the last three as deputy mayor. He would not be seeking re-election to the Tamahere ward, leaving the seat open for new contenders, he said.

He said he felt it was the right time “to step up, armed with all I have learned”.

“Much work is still ahead of us. Waikato district remains one of the fastest growing districts in the country with 400,000 hectares of rural land, [and] towns and villages wedged between two cities spilling over their boundaries.”

He said the council had been working hard to facilitate the building of communities, “not just a sprawl of houses, along with preserving the character of existing towns and villages.

Danish-born Bech, 57, who migrated to New Zealand aged 14, said he would

continue “to get real and meaningful climate change responses out of meeting agendas and into demonstrable action.”

deputy mayor and Lake Karāpiro site manager Liz Stolwyk, Waipā councillor Philip Coles, Destination Cambridge chief executive Miff Macdiarmid, Cambridge Chamber of Commerce chief executive Kelly Bouzaid.

The overwhelming call was for a change in alert levels to allow for an easing around numbers at gatherings, and for government to fasttrack plans to allow people from overseas back into the country.

That would help event planners to work with confidence on staffing upcoming events and would help accommodation providers and caterers who are currently struggling with fluctuating bookings linked

to ongoing uncertainty.

All there agreed on the need to recalibrate MIQ regulations and other mandates which were considered past their use-by date. Growing compliance issues and confusion around Covid rules was believed to be increasing levels of Covidfatigue within the broader community, and calls were made for the government to provide clarity.

Several at the meeting said there was a need to adjust the way financial support to small businesses was being determined. Losses being experienced by businesses left with no reserves after two difficult years was said to be adding to problems burdening already over-

stressed families.

Louise Upston agreed there was a need to push government for more clarity so businesses could plan with more confidence. Like others present, she said confused and muddled messaging from the government was affecting not only New Zealand residents, but by being seen as ‘all over the park’, New Zealand risked losing out on valuable international talent who were likely to take their skills elsewhere.

“I know it’s tough out there,” she said. “We have gone through some extraordinary challenges. I continue to be optimistic that we will get through to the other side.”

Piarere plan gets support

Aksel Bech pictured at the recent VIP opening of the Te Awa River Ride with Hamilton mayor Paula Southgate.

Waka Kotahi says feedback on its planned changes at the intersection of State Highways 1 and 29 is getting “considerable support”.

The plan involves building a roundabout northwest of the existing Piarere intersection.

Waka Kotahi says most submissions received during the process for the resource management applications were in favour of the changes.

There has been some opposition to the plan, one alternative view – aired by John Hansen in a letter to the editor – is that this is the time to build a flyover.

Jo Wilton, the regional manager Infrastructure Delivery Waikato/Bay of Plenty for Waka Kotahi said 18 submissions were received.

“The intersection improvements will help people get where they are going safely when traveling on a high-volume traffic route. This is one of New Zealand’s critical transport corridors, but the SH1/SH29 intersection is among the most dangerous on our roading network,” she said.

If the process continues at current pace, the case for the roundabout could be heard in the Environment Court mid-year.

Where do the children play? Board backs buses

The Tulip Drive playground is an odd shape and not big enough to kick a ball around.

By Mary Anne Gill

Cambridge keeps growing with residential development, but children are being ignored because there is a lack of playgrounds in the subdivisions.

“We are not looking after the younger members of our community,” Cambridge Community Board chair Sue Milner told the board last week.

“We need places for kids to be able to kick a ball around.”

She gave the example of Tulip Place in Cambridge North which has a playground donated by the developer, but it is an odd shape and unsuitable for playing football.

Waipā Community Services acting

manager Brad Ward said the council had done some playground mapping but there was “lots to happen” in that space.

The renewal of the Lake Te Koo Utu senior playground began earlier this month, the junior module of it was completed last year and there are plans for an adventure playground in Cambridge North and the new C2 growth cell on Hamilton Road.

The council just has to determine the right place for them, he said.

Equipment at another playground in MacLean Street is being removed because it is not in good shape.

Ward said the council was looking at developing a playground on the corner

of Terry Came Drive and Swayne Road.

In other areas the council was working with developers and buying land.

Milner told The News after the meeting playgrounds tended to be an afterthought.

“We don’t want to be donated a section they (developers) just can’t sell. It just seems we’re behind with playgrounds. I keep hearing about plans for a destination playground but when?

“I think we should be more proactive about developing playgrounds. They’ve been talking about it forever, it’s now time for some action as Cambridge grows,” she said.

An enhanced Waipā public transport network to include a regular Cambridge to Te Awamutu return bus service is one of the suggestions made by the Cambridge Community Board to the council’s draft Transport Strategy.

The board says it supports the goal of encouraging a mode shift away from private car transport towards more active forms of transport but wants the needs of the rural population considered.

Submissions to the draft strategy close on March 22.

Council held a workshop recently to discuss the strategy.

The draft Transport Strategy proposes reducing carbon emissions and reliance on private vehicles, offering more transport options for non-drivers and increasing opportunities for cycling and walking, all of which align with national transport objectives. Central government is setting a strong policy framework for reducing emissions and addressing climate change impacts.

Deputy mayor Liz Stolwyk said there were other issues the public should consider when making submissions.

“We have national commitments to reduce carbon emissions, how is Waipā going to support that? I encourage people to think innovatively. What does the future hold for driverless cars and how will that impact on our towns,” she said.

Mayor Jim Mylchreest said the strategy contained “bigpicture thinking” for the district and was not a detailed action plan for specific towns, streets or bridges. This was a reference to calls in Cambridge for a third bridge over the Waikato River to solve traffic congestion woes.

The Te Awamutu Community Board submission will be finalised next week.

Rift over media ‘deal’

By Roy Pilott

A “quite cosy” exclusive deal arranged by Te Awamutu Community Board chair Ange Holt with a media company she has had an involvement in has drawn flak from her own members.

It was announced last week the Board was partnering with the Te Awamutu Chamber of Commerce and New Zealand Media and Entertainment (NZME) over the release of information.

Concerns were raised that Holt owns a website which promotes the NZME publication the Te Awamutu Courier and previously worked for NZME. The controversial story announced details of a survey called Who Are We Te Awamutu? Te Awamutu News reported on the genesis of the survey last October when Holt suggested the rose moniker for the town could be reviewed.

NZME reported last week that the chamber and the community board was partnering “exclusively with the Te Awamutu Courier to bring this project to the community, gather information and opinions and report progress”.

Cr Susan O’Regan took a defiant Holt to task this week – telling her at a board meeting it was not a good look and raised questions about integrity of the process.

Holt confirmed she had seen the story the day before publication. She referred to the item as a press release, but it carried the by-line of the newspaper’s editor, Dean Taylor.

Richard Hurrell said the issue started with a working group which had a different name but was now associated with the chamber and Courier.

“I knew nothing about it until I read it in the paper, and it’s got the Te Awamutu Community Board blasted all the way through the whole thing – surely we should be informed about this sort of thing before it goes to print.”

O’Regan raised concern “about an agent or group associated with the Waipā District Council entering into an exclusive commercial arrangement over a matter that’s actually public good or interest.”

She said it also challenged the role of independence “of the media in question”.

Holt fired back that that she was “gobsmacked”.

Call for comments on fees Continued on page 11

The meeting was shown on Zoom – you can see a video at www.cambridgenews.nz

“I think the semantics we are getting into here are pretty sad. We’re all trying to do the right thing, there’s no money…”

She had a strong ally in Jill Taylor.

“We voted you as chairperson Ange to make these decisions…” she said.

Holt said it was an informal agreement where the Courier would promote the survey in return for having first run of the story.

“They are prepared to support us and do some additional promotion at no cost. No one’s signed their life away, it’s merely an offer of support.

It was not explained what the additional promotion involved.

Holt said it was supposed to be a “goodwill thing” not a discussion in legalities. “…Dean [Taylor] wrote a story, but from now on I will make sure it comes to each and every one of you if that’s what you want.”

O’Regan said she was not calling into question the intent.

“It’s about the fact that there are rules and procedures we have to follow and conflict of interest and pecuniary interest are things we have to be acutely aware of, because we’re all

being paid from ratepayers’ money.”

She said Holt was a former employee of NZME who owned a website which presented PDFs each week of the Te Awamutu Courier – “it’s all getting quite cosy”.

Holt responded, “point taken”.

Holt said such was the informality of the agreement no arrangements about reports from chair Shane Walsh, the acting chamber chief, had been discussed.

Chief executive Garry Dyet confirmed the deal was not sanctioned by council staff and was a private arrangement.

• The introduction of extension of time requests • Adult casket interment fees increase by 10 per cent to bring council into line with neighbouring Waikato and Matamata-Piako councils • A new charge for ‘Doggy Do’ to encourage owners to clean up after their dogs • Wheelie bin charges for 240 litres and 140 litre glass wheelie bins up by 17.5 and 4.25 per cent respectively • Charges for the Cambridge Town Hall removed as the new trust will set and administer the fees • Remove the general waiver of fees for reviewing the Traffic Management Plans of not-for-profit and charity events because those events generate considerable funds.

The four-week consultation period opened this week and close on Friday April 8.

Submissions can be made online, via email or through a hard copy submission delivered to Council offices or libraries in Cambridge and Te Awamutu.

The fees and charges are applicable for the 2022/23 year, commencing on July 1.

How Greg beat the odds

By Steph Bell-Jenkins

Greg Johnston was standing in his kitchen helping wife Maree bottle jam last month when he collapsed without warning, swiping jars and cutlery off the bench as he crashed to the floor.

Maree, a part-time nurse who works in Waikato Hospital’s oncology outpatients’ department, has one sentence to describe the serendipitous combination of events that followed: “Greg’s stars were all in alignment.”

“Miracle” is the word Carolyn Wallis, who was at the scene that day, uses.

In an incredible stroke of luck, Carolyn, who has 25 years’ experience as a cardiac nurse, was just metres from Greg and Maree’s road when she discovered he was in trouble.

“He’s a miracle. He’s an absolute, absolute miracle,” she said.

“It was just the whole chain of events. He collapsed in front of his wife who knew what to do, his daughterin-law Vikki thought to ring me just as I happened to be driving past the end of their road, he had super experienced paramedics people and the firemen ...

I mean we underestimate our volunteers because holy, they’re amazing.”

Greg, a former world champion, Olympic bronze and Commonwealth Games’ silver medallist rower, has had two cardiac arrests over the past eight months, both at his home in rural Cambridge.

“Statistically hardly anyone survives a community arrest,” said the 62-year-old, now an accountant.

“I’ve had two of them so I suppose I might apply

the probability in the 3-10 per cent range, so yeah, I’m pretty lucky.”

The first arrest occurred last July, completely out of the blue. Greg was walking up his driveway after doing jobs in the garden when he suddenly keeled over.

“I managed to yell out to Maree and then the world went black,” he said.

Maree, who is Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) trained, managed to revive her husband by the time an ambulance arrived 8-9 minutes later.

“I would really like to highlight the importance of knowing how to do CPR, starting it promptly, calling emergency services and letting them know how urgent the situation is,” she said.

“Any CPR is good CPR. It’s a scary thing to do, but not doing it is worse than doing it wrongly, I think.”

During the 5-6 minutes Greg was unconscious, the CPR Maree administered kept oxygenated blood flowing around his body, preventing any damage to his brain.

Waikato Hospital cardiologists determined the arrest had been caused by blockages in Greg’s coronary

arteries and placed three stents – small metal mesh tubes – in the arteries to solve the problem.

But on February 7 while making jam with Maree, Greg suffered a second cardiac arrest.

“The second one they think was caused by scar tissue from the first heart attack,” he said. “Bits of my heart

coincidence, Carolyn was on her way to Waikato Hospital to start her evening shift and was just a few metres from Greg and Maree’s road when she picked up her phone.

She hit her brakes, turned down Greg and Maree’s lane and drove “very fast” to their house.

“All I was thinking was ‘oh my gosh, I know this man,

A free app called GoodSAM is now available in New Zealand. It alerts people that a patient suspected to be in cardiac arrest is nearby, enabling them to possibly save a life by providing CPR and using an AED (if available) before emergency services arrive.

He doesn’t remember anything from that day but it’s one Maree will probably never forget.

After Greg collapsed, she once again called 111, put the operator on speakerphone, began CPR and grabbed a second phone to get help from her son Matt.

On the way to his parents’ house Matt rang his wife Vikki, who in turn called her friend Carolyn Wallis, a cardiac nurse.

Completely by

he’s close to people I care about’,” she said. “It was the first time I’d ever done CPR on someone I know, ever, in all my years of nursing, and it was the first time I’d done it outside a hospital.”

Carolyn took charge immediately, taking over Greg’s chest compressions.

“She got here before Matty and I think without her I wouldn’t have been able to carry on the CPR much longer,” Maree said. “She helped save Greg’s life, big time.”

Matt arrived soon

afterwards and Carolyn showed him how to open Greg’s airways to improve oxygen flow.

“Having Carolyn there calling the shots was just unreal,” Matt said. “She was very calm and she gave great instruction.”

Together the trio continued CPR, keeping blood flowing to Greg’s brain until first responders arrived.

“The volunteer fire guys took over CPR and had an airbag for dad’s breathing and the ambos were setting up drugs and the defib,” Matt said. “Everyone had their job and just worked really well.”

Greg, who had been unresponsive for about 30 minutes, was shocked six times before he regained consciousness.

“I was standing on the veranda with Matty – I couldn’t watch at that stage – and Carolyn came out and said he’s got a pulse and that’s a good thing,” Maree said. “I just burst into tears.”

Almost two weeks later, while recovering in Waikato Hospital’s cardiac ward, Greg had a visit from Carolyn.

“I just said thanks very much and shook her hand,” said Greg, who is back home and, on his way, to making a full recovery.

He now has an electronic device implanted in his chest to kick-start his heart if it ever stops again.

Greg and his family are “incredibly grateful” to everyone who saved his life.

“I certainly appreciate the fact that I’m still here and realise that’s down to Maree, Carolyn and Matt and the other people that came and helped,” he said.

“They all did an amazing job. They fought hard for me and certainly didn’t give up.”

Greg hasn’t yet tasted the plum jam he and Maree made on February 7, but he’s looking forward to it.

“It will certainly be special jam and we’ll have a good story to tell about it,” he said.

All ahoy to victory

Eight sailors from St Peter’s School in Cambridge won the Waikato secondary schools’ annual sailing regatta and with it the Burgess Trophy, on Hamilton’s Lake Rotoroa last week.

It is understood it is the first time St Peter’s has won the trophy which has been running since the early 1960s.

Thirty other sailors from around the Waikato competed.

Ben Williams, Oliver Plant and Victoria Coley won two of their three

races and came first overall in their fleet classes, Starling, BIC and Open Class with Victoria sailing in a P Class.

Great support came from Lucy Coley, second overall in the Open Class, also sailing in a P Class, with Emma Coley coming second in one of her Starling races. The race placings of the rest of the team, Tama Lapuente (Micron), Claudia Batlle Llorens (Starling), and Alex Coley (Starling) helped to win St Peter’s the Burgess Trophy.

Butcher scores Results first NZ training Fours’ winners success

Shane Butcher has joined other members of his family in the winning trainers’ circle at Cambridge Raceway.

Butcher followed his grandfather John and uncle David into training and notched up his first success last week with Sharkine in the Team Teal Fundraiser 10 March At CR Mobile Pace (2200m).

His partner Monika Ranger reined home the mare, posting her second driving success.

Butcher, who was born and brought up in Cambridge attending St Peter’s Catholic School and Cambridge High School, purchased Sharkine last month with the plan of giving Ranger further race day driving experience.

Now based in Pukekohe, Butcher had a steady driving career since starting as a junior driver in 2009 with stints in New Zealand and Australia following.

In his 646 career starts, he had 32 wins with his best season coming in 2011. He had one win as a trainer in Perth six years ago before returning to New Zealand to continue driving.

In more recent times he qualified as a farrier and now shoes horses for several top stables.

His first training outing in New Zealand was with Aeonian at Alexandra Park last year.

Team McGowan proved too good for their opponents taking out the Central Bowling Club’s ladies championship fours at the weekend.

The team skipped by Bronnie McGowan with Sue Le Compte, Mary Wishart and Robyn Searle, was very consistent and led throughout the final winning by 14-7.

Runners up was the Raewyn Bovey-skipped team with Jane Walker, Mary Hughes and Annette Goodall.

Invaluable service Paying the penalty at risk in Cambridge NO PLANET B

By Peter Matthews

By Viv Posselt

A free service offering professional help to parents needing support with their babies and toddlers may have to close in Cambridge if more people don’t use it.

The Hamilton-based Waikato Family Centre provides a free medically-based service to support mothers and families/ whānau in the community and greater Waikato who may be struggling with babies aged from birth to two years old.

The service started here last year as part of an extension programme provided through the centre. It is held weekly at the Cambridge Community Health Centre in Taylor St, but nurse manager Jo Coulter said last week that Cambridge numbers had dropped off to a point where the future of the consultation service in the town was at risk.

“We pay rent to cover our attendance in Cambridge and cover the cost of a registered nurse spending the day there.

When we don’t get the numbers to support those costs, we have no choice but to consider its future. The service in Cambridge was a pilot, and was well supported initially,

Waikato Family Centre nurse Kate Allen holding the baby, with centre office manager Raewyn McKenzie and nurse manager Jo Coulter, right.

but Covid has affected the numbers.”

She said many parents are missing out on essential care that is freely available to them.

Waikato Family Centre has offered the programme for some time. It also has ‘pop-up’ services available around the region and offers phone consultations to those in rural areas. Referrals come through GPs, Kirikiriroa Family Services Trust, Mothercraft, Plunket, midwives and self-referral. They also hold courses for those experiencing perinatal mental health concerns,

and run Dads’ Evenings, Young Parent Information Evenings, and women’s wellness sessions with health professionals.

“We know there are parents/ whānau who either don’t know about the Cambridge service, or haven’t taken the opportunity to use it yet,” she said. “Without their support, we may have to relocate that service, and that would be a loss for families in the area.”

Consultations must be booked ahead via help@ waikatofamilycentre.co.nz, or 07 834 2036.

As children we are taught to be good. Mind your manners, tell the truth, do the right thing and so on.

If we fall short of the mark, we are reprimanded and thus we learn how to conduct ourselves. As adults, if we stray outside the bounds of the law, the consequences are more serious. Now we are expected to continue to behave ourselves, and pay taxes, and obey the laws of the land, and if we incur any debts, we are expected to pay them on time.

If we break the law, the police will want us to help with their enquiries.

There may be debt collectors or court appearances involved, resulting in fines, and even jail time. If one gets behind with any kind of taxation the Inland Revenue might take a while to catch on to one’s fiscal shortcomings but catch on, they will - eventually.

Then one has a problem.

So, we are all held to account for our behaviour, and most of us come up fine. Generally speaking, people are well-behaved. There are those members of society who find it hard, for a variety of reasons, to stick to the rules and, indeed, they make up a large proportion of the prison population.

Then there are people who, by good fortune or good management, have amassed sufficient wealth to be able to employ professional lawyers and accountants to help them avoid, or at worst evade, some of what they see as the more restrictive or punitive elements of the law. For example, why pay a large amount of tax if,

by engaging a suitably resourceful accountant, you can get away with paying a little - or none at all?

A large corporation may seek to avoid the repercussions of some less than perfect behaviour by ‘dragging it through the courts’ in the hope that their accuser will run out of money or simply lose the will to continue long enough to achieve a just and fair resolution of their claim.

All of which leads to the question: Why do some people seem to get away with behaving badly, or straight out illegally, while the rest of us have to toe the line?

I took a wrong turn in business a few years ago and I’m still paying for it now. I know of others who were in the financial cactus at the same time who simply hid all their assets behind various names and in various locations and declared themselves bankrupt.

Now they are up and running and happy as you like.

Politicians seem to get away with astonishing lapses of judgement and behaviour all the time - and ordinary people suffer and die as a result: Gaddafi, Hussein, Trump, Bolsonaro, Xi, Assad, to name a few recent ones.

There are of course, plenty of international laws aimed at preventing these people from running amok - but there seems to be little will on the part of other leaders to enforce them effectively. And what’s Putin’s excuse?

2022

Make this the year for bold conversations Cambridge features a vibrant and active community that caters to older people or as we like to call them; the ‘young at heart.’

No matter where your interests lie there is something for everyone as you will discover on the following pages.

Pre-plan for your funeral and prepay it to lessen the stress and financial burden on your family

Jim Goddin of Grinters Funeral Home.

D

eath and dying is not always a subject that people want to think or talk about, however when the time comes it could make life easier for those left grieving if some pre-planning has been committed to paper.

The death of someone close can bring great sadness, emotional turmoil, and stress.

Grieving families have a lot to deal with and organise, as well as many decisions to make.

Increasingly, people are planning their own funerals, mainly to lessen the responsibilities for the family at such a difficult time.

If you would like a copy of Grinter’s Funeral Home’s PreArrangement Form, get in touch and we can make a time to go through

everything with you (either at your place or ours).

Thinking about your own funeral plans may seem odd to some but it is on the increase as a practice.

There is satisfaction in knowing your affairs are in order and your family will not experience extra distress at this difficult time.

As many funeral directors will tell you, it is not unusual for the grieving family to be unaware of the deceased’s funeral wishes.

Prearranging and/or

prepaying your funeral means your wishes about how you would like things to be at your funeral are known and respected.

The money is protected in a separate funeral trust and can be accessed by Grinter’s Funeral Home.

Grinter’s Funeral Home will arrange for the costs of the funeral to be paid from your prepayment.

If any money remains after the cost of the funeral has been met, this will be returned to your estate.

If your prepayment does not cover the cost of your funeral, Grinter’s Funeral Home will make arrangements with your family or estate for the balance.

If you would like to talk to one of the Grinter’s Funeral Home team members about pre-planning or pre-paying your funeral, give them a call on (07) 827 6037 or 0800 GRINTER (0800 474 683) 24 hours.

Celebrating Life - Your Way We believe that each funeral service should be as unique as the life you are celebrating. When a funeral is personalised, it creates a special space for sharing precious memories, telling stories, and simply being together with friends and family.

Jim Goddin JP Funeral Director

Grinter’s Funeral Home are dedicated to providing personalised and meaningful funeral services, and offer a pre-plan option, lessening the responsibilities for your family at a difficult time. Make your funeral preferences clear by requesting a copy of our Pre-Arrangement form to complete.

Bringing comfort to families during difficult times

W

Funeral director Jono Gibson believes funerals are a time to celebrate people in a way that “truly captures their life story”.

ith years of experience, the team at Cambridge Funerals are committed to leaving a legacy of kindness, compassion and care as they help families through difficult times.

Cambridge Funerals are uncompromising in providing the highest possible standard of care for everyone they deal with, and a nonjudgemental and safe environment so families can feel comfortable to share in their sadness.

“We are focussed on ensuring the needs of the family and their loved ones are met. We only get to do a funeral once, so it’s important that it is done right” says Jono Gibson,

Funeral Director & Branch Manager.

“The heart of what we do is to provide a guiding hand to the family throughout the funeral planning process.

We also spend a lot of time listening and gaining trust, because it’s important that we really capture their life story so we can celebrate someone’s life with a truly unique service, in a meaningful way” Jono adds.

Jono is joined at Cambridge Funerals by experienced Funeral Directors Ian Calvert and Tim James, who assist in looking after the families and organising funeral arrangements. Their other “staff member”

is office dog Charlie, a Labradoodle, who is much-loved by the team and the families that visit.

The heart of what we do is to provide a guiding hand to the family throughout the funeral planning process.

“Charlie is great, he senses when people aren’t dog-lovers and stays out of the way… but he also senses when visitors need comforting and will often curl up on the floor next to them or rest his head on

their lap.” says Jono.

Cambridge Funeral’s is owned by a charitable trust, the Legacy Trust, profits are distributed back into the community.

“We take a great sense of pride in being able to give back to local charities.

Recently donations have been made to the Cambridge Woodturners Club who make wig stands for cancer patients, and the Cambridge Girl Guides to assist them in attending an upcoming jamboree.” says Jono.

As a local Funeral Director and Rotarian, Jono is well-known and respected in the community, and he and his wife Ashleigh have a one year old son Monty.

All go for light up

By Mary Anne Gill

Community groups and charities will be able to light up the Cambridge Town Hall and Clock Tower for special events under guidelines developed by the Cambridge Community Board.

The events could include a national milestone or celebration, a symbol of respect following guidance from central Government, or a particular council run or partnered event.

Preferential dates for lighting are Waitangi, Anzac, Armistice, Bastille and Christmas days, Easter, Matariki and Le Quesnoy Liberation.

The two assets in the centre of Cambridge are often used for private weddings and other significant life ceremonies, and the Cambridge Town Hall is a bookable space, Communication and Engagement manager Hannah Blake told the board.

“Lighting up this space when, for example, a wedding is taking place could cause upset, so care must be taken to ensure prior bookings are considered, or alternatively the

offer of lighting only the Town Clock Tower,” she said.

Board member Mike Montgomerie said it needed to be made “absolutely clear” it was only for community groups and charities and not businesses or political parties.

The guidelines provide for approximate costs to applicants.

If the guidelines are approved by Waipā District Council’s Finance and Corporate committee, the requests for lighting of the Cambridge town assets will be managed by the Events and Marketing team in conjunction with the Cambridge Town Hall Community Trust.

Meanwhile Property Projects manager John Miles said his staff was looking at ways it could mechanise the Town Hall clock.

Staff must go up into the tower every three days to wind up the clock while there were some issues with the plaster.

“We need a condition assessment report done on that,” he said.

The council would need to work with heritage architects as the Clock Tower is an A listed historic building.

Tasty treat for foodies

By Viv Posselt

The interest in Belinda MacDonald’s new book ‘Flavourbomb’ suggests your average foodie still prefers a good hardcopy cookbook to the avalanche of material available online.

Belinda, who alongside Neena Truscott formed part of Cambridge’s winning My Kitchen Rules NZ duo in 2014, spent a busy hour or so at Cambridge Paper Plus last week signing copies of her newest book.

Even before she set foot in the store, it had set an unusual record for a new book, going for a reprint before being released.

Despite a few Covid-supply chain hiccups, in-store and online sales have been great, and Belinda – who is busy working on yet another publication – is delighted.

Flavourbomb is her third book and is also the name of her new website. The first book, ‘My Green Kitchen’, was co-written with Neena, but her second, ‘Backstreat Bali,’ was all Belinda and features her travels to the tropical island.

In the years since the MKR win, Belinda has written foodie columns, and does TV appearances and keto food vlogging (video blogging). She is head chef/vlogger to The Ketogenic Switch, an international weightloss group.

THURSDAY MARCH 10, 2022

with Jan Bilton

Wok wizardry

Woks are versatile. Their use is not just limited to stir-frying.

You can steam, smoke, braise or simmer, deep or shallow fry.

The wok’s shape was originally dictated by the Chinese hob that had an open top surface into which the round-bottomed wok with its flared sides fitted securely. Nowadays a metal collar or ring purchased with the wok adapts it neatly to gas or electric hobs.

Steaming is fashionable at present due to the popularity of Asian dumplings. They’re sold fresh and frozen at your supermarket. Steaming is a healthy practice keeping food moist and tasty. Place a steamer basket or colander over simmering water in the wok, add the food, cover and cook.

Stir-frying is also a healthy cooking method as very little oil is required. The food is easily turned against the steeply sloping sides of the wok and evenly coated in oil as it falls back to the bottom. The smaller the amount of food cooked in the wok the better. Cook in batches, if necessary otherwise the food will stew rather than fry. Don’t be tempted to add more oil during stir-frying. Add a sprinkle of hot water instead.

STEAMED SALMON WITH CHINESE DRESSING I’ve used lettuce leaves to line the steamer basket rather than the usual baking paper.

2-3 lettuce leaves 2 x 150g salmon fillets, pin bones removed 8 snow peas, trimmed, strings removed 2 spring onions, leaves thinly sliced 2 tablespoons light soy sauce 1 teaspoon each: Chinese vinegar, sugar 2 cloves garlic crushed 1 tablespoon finely grated root ginger Line a Chinese steamer basket with lettuce leaves. Place some water in a wok. Place a rack just above the water line and place the basket on top. Cover the wok and bring the water to the boil. Steam the lettuce leaves until limp.

Place the salmon on the lettuce leaves. Spread the snow peas around the salmon. Season if preferred. Cover and steam for about 8 minutes or until just cooked.

Meanwhile, place the sliced spring onions in icy water to crisp

Steamed salmon with Chinese dressing

and curl.

Combine the remaining ingredients. Drizzle over the cooked salmon and top with the drained spring onions. Serves 2.

1 tablespoon oyster sauce 2 tablespoons tomato-based chilli sauce 2 teaspoons cornflour Deep-fry: 1/2 firm avocado 2 nectarines 1 tablespoon cornflour 1/2 cup canola oil 250g fillet steak, cubed 1 shallot, diced 2 cloves garlic, crushed 1 small red capsicum, seeded and diced Combine the ingredients for the seasoning and set aside.

Peel and stone the avocado. Cut into cubes. Halve and stone the nectarines. Cut into cubes. Dust the avo and nectarines with the cornflour.

Pour 2 tablespoons of the oil into the wok and heat. Stir-fry the fillet steak until medium rare. Remove and set aside.

Sauté the shallot, garlic and red capsicum for about 1 minute.

Set aside with the steak.

Heat enough oil in the wok to deep-fry. Shake off any excess cornflour from the avo and nectarines. Deep-fry the avo and nectarine for a few seconds. Remove and drain on paper towels. Discard the oil.

Stir the seasoning mixture well then add to the wok. Bring to the boil. Return the steak, shallot mixture, avocado and nectarine to the wok and heat through briefly. Serves 2.

WOK-SMOKED PORTOBELLOS The flavour of these Portobello mushrooms is intense. Serve one or two with grills or chill and serve with cold meats. They can be prepared a day ahead.

6-8 medium Portobello mushrooms 2 tablespoons olive oil 1/2 cup citrus-infused dry tea leaves 6 small sprigs fresh rosemary pinch chilli flakes freshly ground salt and pepper to taste Toss the mushrooms in the olive oil.

Line the base of a wok with foil. Sprinkle the dry tea leaves in the center. Place a rack over the leaves. Place a sheet of foil on the rack large enough to just cover. Top with the mushrooms in a single layer. Sprinkle with the combined rosemary, chilli flakes, salt and pepper. Cover.

Place the wok on medium heat and smoke the mushrooms for about 15 minutes. Serves 4-6.

DEEP-FRIED NECTARINES & AVOCADOS WITH BEEF If preferred, use peaches or pawpaw in place of the nectarine.

Seasoning: 1/4 cup beef or chicken stock

Cambridge 50 Hall Street

Modern character on Hall

4+1

Timeless character features blend harmoniously with modern conveniences in this immaculately presented villa, situated in one of Cambridge's most desirable streets. Set back from the road, which is framed by large mature leafy trees, this stunning 1910s character home has undergone an amazing transformation into a beautiful, modern family retreat. The open plan kitchen, dining and living area flows seamlessly through to three different outdoor areas, while the separate lounge provides a quiet space to relax. Fully fenced and surrounded by lush, leafy gardens, the home is very private from the neighbours. Additional space for friends or extended family to stay over is always in demand, so the sleepout with full bathroom is sure to please. My Vaccine Pass required to view.
