Libraries: key to reading By Viv Posselt and Mary Anne Gill
Former St Peter’s Catholic School student Lisette Reymer has become a familiar face to news’ viewers as she reports from Ukraine. On a day when the importance of libraries in schools is underlined, she talks to Mary Anne Gill about how she was inspired at school to enter journalism – and about her life as a war correspondent.

School librarians say they’re the answer to a declining nationwide literacy rate. Former School Library Association of New Zealand president Glenys Bichan, who is library manager at Cambridge High School, says nearly a quarter of school libraries had budget cuts before Covid. Of the country’s 2500 schools, only 900 had paid librarians. Yet during the pandemic it was school libraries that helped deliver online support to families trying to navigate learning from home, she said. Bichan and her Te Awamutu College colleague Janet Burgoyne-Thomas both say they are in the fortunate position of having flourishing school libraries and supportive principals in Greg Thornton and Tony Membery. And they operate in a district where council libraries in both towns are issuing record numbers with lack of space for more books and library items cited as the primary problem. In Cambridge planning is underway for a new town library. Other Waipā primary school libraries are less fortunate and across New Zealand some libraries have closed due to dwindling support or poor choices. One closed within six months of a new principal being appointed, another put one-time librarian funding into a new lawnmower. A call to ring fence libraries, provide equitable access and appropriate funding has been supported by Waipā journalist Lisette Reymer, who has been reporting for Newshub in Ukraine. “I read every day for work, it’s obviously a critical part of research and I am a news junkie so am constantly reading articles,” she said. Global research supports a link between well-run school libraries and literacy rates, said Bichan.

A new report from The Education Hub think-tank, Now I don’t know my ABC the perilous state of literacy in Aotearoa New Zealand, released this week drew on multiple studies to paint a stark picture of the crisis in reading and writing. Nearly one in five 15-year-olds were not meeting the lowest benchmark for reading, and a further 20 percent were only achieving at the most basic level. Most of the data used was pre Covid meaning two years of disrupted learning made the current situation even worse, said Bichan. Bichan said the School Library Association of New Zealand was working with the New Zealand Libraries Partnership Programme, a government-led initiative launched in May 2020 to support Covid recovery work across the country’s library system. Part of the initiative is Communities of Learning, or Kāhui Ako, a group of education providers established to nurture school libraries. Leading that project locally is Cambridge East School librarian/inquiry broker, Kirsty Wyndham, who said the aim of having a Kāhui Ako librarian here was to showcase the value of school libraries and librarians. Bichan is also involved in the School Libraries Transform Campaign, aimed at pushing for school library funding to be ‘ring-fenced’ rather than reliant on schools’ operational funds. “That would mean funds and dedicated library spaces would be secure. The campaign has received much attention – school libraries have a strong voice. We must focus on making that happen.” A fuller version of this story appears on www.cambridgenews.nz Constantly reading: Newshub’s Europe correspondent Lisette Reymer grew up in Waipā and says her passion for English began at school.

What we need
I have just read the letters in this week’s News and they all touch on important topics and ideas for improving Cambridge. There needs to be a slowdown on releasing new sections until the infrastructure is improved. A third bridge is essential... the idea of an on and off ramp at the golf course is also great. A community hub for teens is so overdue. These kids want to be busy and to connect. Parking. How about an underground car park or a Park’n Ride on the outskirts with regular buses into the central business district? These work well overseas. Public transport is way overdue. An orbital bus from Hautapu-Cambridge North… cbd… Leamington and looping back across the low level bridge is essential for disabled, elderly and people who can’t drive. More investment in local smaller playgrounds in neighbourhoods and a couple of larger destination playgrounds is needed. The Te Awa bike path is a great example of getting people out of their cars for leisure. However, put in a regular bus service from Cambridge to Hamilton and Te Awamutu and you may find people like myself commute daily on the bus. There are hundreds of people who go to the hospital to work and appointments... however, no direct bus. Cambridge is a great place to live... however it appears that the desperate need to develop more and more farmland is taking priority over meeting the needs and quality of life of its current residents.

Pool issues
I’d like to address the lack of disability facility for exercising and relaxation at the Cambridge hydrotherapy pool, in opposition to the article recently placed in your newspaper. I have Progressive MS (Multiple Sclerosis) and I’m in a wheelchair. Part of my exercise programme to help my muscles is using a hydrotherapy pool, which have included the Te Awamutu, Te Rapa and Waikato hospital pool (physio training only), all of which all have hand rails that in certain cases are essential for a disabled person and their safety. The Cambridge facility does have a rail but across the deep end of the pool only, where the water is too deep for me to exercise even though I’m 173cm tall. Ideally there needs to be a handrail from the shallow to deep end thereby allowing people of varying heights to hold on. There are finger grips along the pool that are not suitable for many disabled people including myself. In early October 2021 I raised this issue with council who took six weeks to reply (after a reminder). In December 2021 council asked the design team (the architects) to advise the cost of design and manufacture of a rail. However, the architects appeared to be busy with other pool issues and have given no time frame for their reply and the Council seem to be reluctant to push them. There are several issues here: 1. What experience do the architects have with this type of facility design and what is their knowledge of disabled people’s needs. 2. What community consultation with
disabled people was there before/during construction. I asked this question and was told there are no records of consultation. 3. Why was no changing table for disabled (only added recently) included in the original plan. While this has been included now the shower seat has been removed. The poor initial planning means I cannot use the shower in this changing room. 4. The lack of electric doors into the hydrotherapy pool (although elsewhere) and even door stops for the manual doors were absent at my visit in October. Although presently they’re firmly wedged open on both sides. 5. My husband visited the hydrotherapy pool today and asked a member of staff if they had many disabled people (in wheelchairs or with other devices) using the hydrotherapy pool. Not many at all was the answer. Perhaps this raises a question about suitability of the facility for disabled. Also a source of revenue that Waipa Council are not receiving. These issues are examples of a lack of design experience and awareness. A visit to the Te Rapa pool facility by the design team would have been a basic starting point. My husband has been my voice in verbal communication (MS making me unable to) and met with council at the pool to address the issues and one of the many comments was, it’s not just a hydrotherapy pool but a dual purpose learn to swim and we couldn’t include everything. When the new Ministry for Disabled People is formed from July 1, hopefully this will lead to better control over compliance Continued on page 7
On the beat with Senior Constable DEB THURGOOD Neighbourhood issues This week has seen tragedy hit Waipā with the loss of local lives in a boating accident off North Cape. I send my sincere condolences to the families affected and their friends. As a community, Cambridge is very caring. They say it takes a village to raise a child and in today’s hectic world, that is sometimes not easily achieved. We have had a few calls recently about unsupervised young children. Often the callers wish to remain anonymous, and in a neighbourhood setting, I can understand this. It is more difficult for Police to assist where this anonymity is the case however, particularly if we do not find the children in the risky situation ourselves. I wanted to highlight that another avenue is to contact Oranga Tamariki. They are well placed to handle reports of concern for any child where you perceive a risk to that child – if they are unsafe or at risk of harm or
danger; if you believe they are experiencing neglect, ill treatment or abuse. If you are unsure about a situation involving a child and want advice you can also contact them. You can make a report of concern anonymously if you wish. Phone 0508 326 459 or email contact@ot.govt.nz. Naturally, if there is immediate risk to a child or abuse in progress, you should call 111. Whichever avenue you take, your call will spotlight a need for support for a family and this can be put in place. Talking of neighbourhoods, disagreements between neighbours also regularly come to Police attention – unfortunately usually at a stage when things have escalated to angry altercations. Early, respectful and direct communication is so important in these situations. Try to approach your neighbour with a focus on a solution rather than just complaining or blaming the neighbour for whichever behaviour is causing upset.
While neighbourhood disagreements can be upsetting and cause emotions to run high, try to remain calm. Explain why your neighbour’s behaviour is disturbing you and suggest a compromise that might suit everyone. Be prepared to listen to what your neighbour has to say and let them know you are listening to their point of view. Often people will write notes rather than talk in person and this can lead to misunderstandings and defensiveness, when a simple conversation could have sorted things out. Everyone is entitled to peaceful enjoyment of their home property, but living in close proximity, some activity/noise is to be expected. If a situation does escalate to the point of threats or you feel unsafe, you should call Police. Until next week, look out for each other, Deb.

All five people who died in the waters off North Cape late on Sunday night were from the Waipā district. They were Cambridge men Geoffrey James Allen, 72, Michael Patrick Lovett, 72, Richard Eldon Bright, 63 and Mark Keith Walker, 41, and Mark Kenneth Sanders, 43, of Te Awamutu. The men were with five other people on board the charter boat Enchanter which left Mangonui on Thursday for a five-day trip to the Three Kings Islands, north of Cape Reinga. The alarm was first raised when an emergency locator beacon was set off at about 8pm on Sunday. It is understood a rogue wave hit and broke apart Enchanter’s bridge near Murimotu Island. Search efforts, led by the Rescue Coordination Centre at Maritime NZ, began hours later with five people, including captain Lance Goodhew, pulled alive from the water. Bright was the publican at Cambridge’s Group One Turf Bar, Lovett worked as a handyman at The Oaks Stud while Sanders was a Te Awamutu builder. Allen was a Cambridge director while Walker was self-employed. Five died, and five were rescued after the the fishing charter vessel Enchanter sank.
Power chief is on home turf By Mary Anne Gill
The incoming Waipā Networks chief executive knows if you asked several people on the streets of Te Awamutu or Cambridge what the company does, most would struggle to answer. Sean Horgan is unfazed by that and instead is looking forward to meeting social and community agencies, iwi and developers replicating an approach he had when first appointed The Lines Company chief executive five years ago. Then he inherited an electricity distribution business based in Te Kuiti with a reputation so low, its customers regularly contacted the media, including Fair Go, to dob the company in. “I spent 100 hours in Town Hall meetings, meeting people. I needed to do that
with The Lines Company, so my intention is do something similar here,” he said. Waipā Networks provides lines function services to customers in an area covering the two large towns of Te Awamutu and Cambridge, Tamahere and rural areas like Kāwhia, Waikeria and Pukeatua. With 28,000 consumers, it is the fifth largest network in New Zealand and growing. It is 100 per cent owned by the Waipa Networks Trust which appoints the company directors. The company, on behalf of the trust, provides a discount to customers through sixmonthly distributions. Horgan has a home-town advantage in his new job. He has lived in the district since 2016 when he and wife Lisa, and their two children Sophie and Ethan returned to New Zealand from

Australia. Prior to that Horgan had worked in Malaysia, Thailand and the UK. Both he and his wife are originally from Tauranga. Horgan moved to Waikato where he studied a Master of Management Studies at Waikato University, majoring in management systems. He completed a post graduate course at London Business School and was a recipient of the NZ Prime Minister’s Business Scholarship. Once the family settled in Cambridge, Horgan stood for the Goodwood School board of trustees and has chaired it for the last three years. Goodwood has recently finished building new classrooms. “It’s a great school, a great community and an excellent leadership team,” he said.
“I thought the electricity industry dealing with engineers was complicated, education is a completely different kettle of fish.” While Horgan was not actively looking to leave The Lines Company, the Waipā Networks job became available. “Part of the reason that I was keen for the Waipā role, I would like to do that in the community I live in.” He is looking forward to growing the company’s environmental performance. “We’ve got residential customers who will invest in electric vehicles and solar for example.” Accelerating decarbonisation (the removal or reduction of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere) opportunities is top of his list as is that community engagement he championed at The Lines Company.

Changing times Support group looks online at Museum By Viv Posselt
By Viv Posselt
Much of the skillset Elizabeth Harvey has amassed in decades of working in international museums will doubtless inform decisions she makes as Cambridge Museum’s new manager. Elizabeth’s pick by the Cambridge Historical Society sees her step into the shoes of her predecessor Kathryn Parsons, who departed earlier this year to become a research librarian for Hamilton City Library’s Heritage Collection. The timing seems opportune. Museums worldwide are seeking ways to become more relevant, while the popularity of televised histories and a sweeping hunger to seek out ancestral stories has fuelled interest in the past. Closer to home, the new history curriculum for New Zealand schools comes with a requirement for a deeper historical understanding at community level. Elizabeth is well-placed to drive the shift forward. “The Historical Society
has taken a bold step in my appointment by recognising that museums in a post-pandemic world need to be reaching out to communities beyond the museum building by using more innovative techniques, especially digital. I am museum-trained but also have digital business experience. I feel very fortunate to be given this opportunity.” Museum visits formed part of Elizabeth’s English childhood; even before studying she worked at the Royal Cornwall Museum in Truro. She went on to complete an honours degree in history then a Masters in Museum Studies before working at museums in Stirling and Edinburgh and n te US, Indianapolis before stepping into the world of eCommerce and tourism. She came to New Zealand in 2014 and started at Cambridge Museum in late 2019, first as a volunteer, then front of house host. Covid provided an opportunity to come up with ideas for more carefully crafted exhibitions and expanded

digital opportunities and Elizabeth is keen to expand on both. Moving forward is less about re-inventing the wheel, she said, and more about linking with others. She is already doing that with Cambridge High School and envisages much wider engagement with local schools and groups. “Our purpose is to reach as many people as possible by creating events, exhibitions and digital resources that impact people’s lives. We have a special responsibility to preserve and protect the stories and material culture of this space in Waipā,” she said.
in its support group. Doug Lineham is one of them – he’s the man handling the social media uptake and was diagnosed about three years ago. He said there was little information readily available before he lined up for surgery. “I was ushered along the prostate highway… fortunately the outcome has been positive thus far.” Another is Ken Methven, whose diagnosis came last year. He was grateful for the validation the support group provided and said: “There were a lot of people there who had more information than I had … they provided the knowledge I needed.” All are keen to give something back to others facing the same challenges. While prostate cancer is central to their existence, the group also supports those facing testicular cancer. More information, and details of an upcoming meeting on March 30, are from Ron Greenwood on 027 276 0336 or via cambridge@ prostate.org.nz.
The Cambridge Prostate Cancer Support Group is broadening its reach in 2022 by increasing its use of social media. The hope is that regular online posts will be viewed as a platform for support and information among those facing a prostate cancer diagnosis. In many cases, said support group co-ordinator Ron Greenwood, the shock of hearing the diagnosis leaves people reeling and uncertain in the moment of what questions to ask. “It may be only later that they wish they’d asked more focused questions … that’s where we come in,” he said. “We can either provide information or direct them to someone able to help. Our role is to make people aware about prostate cancer and to support the men and their families for as long as they need it. If by doing that we can save even one or two men, we are doing our job. We want people to know that you don’t have to die from this disease.” Ron said that of the 3500 cases detected in New Zealand each year, around 650 men will die from it. Those figures are on a par with breast cancer diagnosis levels among women. It is the most common cancer among Kiwi men and the third highest cause of cancer death in men after lung and bowel cancer. More than 60 per cent of men have no symptoms when diagnosed. The Cambridge group is one of 30 linked to the Prostate Cancer Foundation Cambridge Prostate Cancer Support Group stalwarts gear up for their next of New Zealand. meeting, on March 30.

AGE OF REASON
The Piarere conundrum There have been several recent articles and letters in this august publication regarding the upcoming adjustment to the Piarere junction of State Highways 1 and 29, Firstly, let us go back a wee step. The Key (National) government kick-started a worthwhile proposal to put in place an extension to the Waikato Expressway. This was in order that southbound traffic departing Cambridge would still have the use of a 4-lane highway and a possible permissible speed of 110 kph. With the help of NZTA they negotiated with landowners to the north of the road currently linking Cambridge with Piarere and come up with a workable solution to bring that extension into being. Plus, of course, a suitable traffic controlling junction at the confluence of the two main roads. Along came the 2017 government saddled down with the heavy, progressrestricting weight of the Greens and that was the end of that extension. Instead, and at huge cost, a portion of the current road now has the violin wires to detract drivers from extending out of their allotted lanes. Note use of the word ‘portion’. In other words, a far from
By Peter Carr
acceptable overall solution. NZTA then elected to go ahead anyway with the junction change which is a simple though highly expensive roundabout. But we know that roundabouts are big money spinners wherever they are. Witness the one outside St Peters School which, dollars aside, is a fine and workable solution. NZTA came clean publicly with their ideas and this action then started alternative viewpoints by way of letters to the editor. Including a flyover ‘solution’ which, while well-meant, has been challenged as not workable. I do not wish to enter the fray on this discussion, but it is pleasing to note that NZTA have, in their latest drawings, allowed for the inclusion of the frustrated extension to the Waikato Expressway when it has happened. They must know something about the 2023 election!. Key to this junction are two loosely related activities. Firstly, traffic heading south and east from Tauranga inevitably queues at the junction causing hairraising and high-risk lurches across State Highway 1. And with Auckland city hell-bent on destroying its port, there is
a marked growth of Tauranga-destined heavy trucks using Cambridge as the pinch point to enter from, and return towards, the King Country and Taranaki. That carries with it further frustration for users of the Victoria (High) Bridge in Cambridge. Third bridge proponents would love to enter the fray here. Traffic planning is an inexact science even with the best of traffic tracking, available funds and bureaucratic delays by local bodies. There is a plethora of very high-cost traffic consultants who produce what the (Council) payer would really like to see. Traffic management sadly becomes the plaything of wannabe local politicians - the greater majority of them are not traffic engineers but want to maintain their public presence in the triennial voting round. Meanwhile – and I do not have the statistics – the number of speed and stupidity driven death-threatening accidents will continue on State Highway 1 between the Cambridge Golf Club and Piarere.

requirements for new facilities and disabled users. Sadly in the meantime I cannot use the facility which I, as a ratepayer, contributed to. Instead, I (and others in my position) have to travel 58km round trip, very expensive in fuel and time, compared with 6km to our local Cambridge pool. One day I hope to use the Cambridge hydrotherapy pool. Joan Landers Cambridge Sally Sheedy, Group Manager, Customer and Community Services responds: Waipā District Council has been working with a member of our community who has requested additional facilities at the Perry Aquatic Centre to meet their individual needs. We are currently investigating the feasibility and costings of this request and recognise that this has taken longer than anticipated, due to a number of factors including current contract requirements, pool operations and the impact of Covid-19. There may be further delays due to developing supply chain issues. At present, this is the only request of this nature we have received for the Learn to Swim/ Hydrotherapy pool, however we are and will continue to progress options for an additional handrail while still providing a flexible pool space. With regards to design, a design
team for the Perry Aquatic Centre was appointed to ensure the facility was built to meet the use requirements of our community, the New Zealand Building Code, and NZS 4121, the New Zealand Standard for design for access and mobility. The Perry Aquatic Centre Learn to Swim/ Hydrotherapy Pool is a multifunctional pool space to provide maximum flexibility of use. It was not designed specifically as a dedicated hydrotherapy pool such as the Te Rapa facility was designed, and subsequently the grip hold along the edge of the pool, a hoist and wheelchair available for access into this pool were designed to serve this multifunctional purpose. Automatic doors were not included in the design due to the warmer aquatic environment in this pool space, and the resulting ongoing maintenance impact within this environment, however the GoWaipa Team offer support to assist our customers to use this facility at any time. We are open to receiving feedback on any of our facilities and such feedback has already helped to improve the existing change room equipment to enable greater use by the wider community. This has been well-received to date. We appreciate the support and use of the Perry Aquatic Centre since its opening, in particular through the more challenging pandemic times.
Police find $90k haul
Waikato Police have had arrests and recovered $90,000 worth of stolen goods following burglaries in the Waikato. Police were alerted to a burglary at Noel Leeming in Duke St, Cambridge around 5am on Saturday. They say a group arrived in a vehicle stolen from Hamilton earlier that morning and caused significant damage to gain entry to the building, as well as to cabinets and store rooms in the store.
A substantial number of electronic items were taken, including Apple iPhones, Apple accessories and gaming accessories. Police linked the same group to a series of other burglaries in the Waikato. That included the theft of a large quantity of electronic items from Heathcote Appliances in Hamilton. “Police would like to give special thanks to members of the Cambridge community, who promptly reported
the incident to police as it was happening,” a police spokesperson said. “They provided police with details of the vehicle involved which led police to make arrests quickly.” A search of the address where the arrests were made uncovered a significant amount of stolen property valued at around $90,000. Three youths and one adult are before the courts on various charges relating to the burglaries.

and the Improving the Protection of Drinking-water Sources discussion document, the council asked the government to ensure communities and suppliers are aware of compliance requirements. “…we’re concerned about how this will work in practice,” Cr Pamela
Storey said. “Many farms in this region supply water to farmhouses, and that means they will need to treat those supplies and follow the standards.” The new regulations will impact on farmers, bach owners and those on small community supplies. The amendments seek to correct “gaps” that pose risks to source water and provide adequate protection to water supplies serving less than 500 people. The proposals will also require regional councils to map default source water risk management areas. Storey says the committee approved of the proposed amendments in principle, but more information was needed. “We don’t want this to be over-complicated for our rural communities or costs to be too prohibitive, otherwise we will see wholesale non-compliance of a system that is set up to fail.”
Water standards warning Low Vision appeal
Blind Low Vision NZ hopes to raise $600,000 during its annual Guide Dog Puppy Appeal, which runs tomorrow and Saturday. The appeal is also designed to raise public awareness about the importance of the dogs. “In the last two years, having the freedom to leave our homes has become more important than ever, Blind Low Vision NZ Chief Executive John Mulka says. “However, for many blind, deafblind, and low vision New
Zealanders, freedom to roam safely and independently relies on the support of their guide dog.” It costs around $175,000 to raise, train and keep one guide dog in service and the organisation receives no government funding. With the help of donations, Blind Low Vision NZ Guide Dogs can continue to breed and train the next generation of guide dogs so more blind, deafblind, and low vision New Zealanders can live the lives they choose.

Reaping what they sow By Mary Anne Gill
When Neville and Thelma Holgate came to New Zealand in 2012 from Liverpool in the UK, they were looking to use their gardening skills for a worthy cause. Sustainable Waipā had just started up and were in the process of creating a community garden on overgrown council land in Vogel Street, Cambridge. Ten years later, Neville and Thelma still work as volunteers for the charitable trust that became Sustainable Cambridge and then Cambridge Community Garden. There are 60 other people just like Neville and Thelma who help toil the one hectare garden behind Cambridge Resthaven. Chairperson and volunteer co-ordinator Alison Hucke said the incorporated society was always on the lookout for volunteers and appreciated it when youth groups such as girl guides, scouts and brownies, schools and Duke of Edinburgh award participants helped in the garden. Recently the Cambridge Rangers topped up the carrot bed and sowed carrots and beetroot, cleaned up the old pumpkin plants and tidied up the compost heaps. The Cambridge Pippins planted out broad beans and kale and donated a bird path while the Duke of Edinburgh volunteers cleaned up and planted the front beds. “It is help from groups like this that keep the garden productive and healthy,” said Alison who confirmed the garden was feeding “a lot” of needy Cambridge families. She has a soft spot for grandparents who look after their grandchildren saying they get little financial support, she said. There are more than 30 families in that situation in Cambridge and the garden
provides them with food from the garden to the table, she said. Covid has made it tough on many families and so having the garden means there is always fresh fruit and vegetables available. “We grow fruit for the community especially for those in need and those who do not have a garden of their own. “Our kaupapa is when you work, you harvest.” On the day The News visits, the sharing shed recently donated by Cambridge Lions, holds freshly picked puha, silver beet, spinach, tomatoes, capsicums, chilis, pumpkin, squash, baby parsnips, rhubarb, grapes, quinces, chives, fennel, basil and coriander. There was a bag of curry leaves and bay leaves and rosemary and some puha seedlings before someone picked them up plus there is heaps of lavender - suitable for lavender bags or cushions or for distilling, said Alison. The garden has its own compost area and worm farm and out the back are 11 chickens who produce eggs for sale. Many of the crops, such as the large kumara patch, are covered to prevent pukeko from destroying the plots. “We really are self-sustainable,” said Thelma in her gentle Welsh accent. In return for taking home the bountiful produce, people can either help with weeding and pruning or they leave a donation. People can swap their surplus produce for something they do not have. The garden has regular working bees which become a social event for many participants, an opportunity to catch up over a rake or shovel followed by a barbecue. The community has always supported
the garden – gifting fruit trees, seedlings, chickens, books, equipment, glass houses or there is the man who uses his earthmoving equipment to sort the compost. “That takes him half an hour, it would take us two days,” said Alison. Recently a child friendly woodland area
filled with fairies has opened at the back of the garden. And just in case anyone in the community is tempted to take too much produce or vandalise the garden, Jumble Around recently funded the installation of CCTV cameras.

Penny awarded Uni scholarship Former Cambridge High School student Penny Wallis has been granted one of two Waikato University Artemis Foundation scholarships. Penny is entering her third year of a Bachelor of Environmental Planning something she got into after Waikato University lecturer Christina Hannah visited the high school to talk about planning. “It opened my eyes and made me think I might actually like planning.” After initially enrolling in a Bachelor of Social Science, Penny switched degrees after realising the importance planning has on the environment and sustaining it for future generations. Penny has big plans for her future, hoping to open her own planning consultancy firm that has a particular focus on creating spaces that harmoniously integrates all cultures, particularly Māori. “Taking a Māori stance on sustainability is vital to

What’s in a name? ‘That which we call a rose. By any other name would smell as sweet.’ Shakespeare in his play Romeo and Juliet appeared to be suggesting that a name is nothing but a name. That names themselves do not hold worth nor meaning. They simply act as labels to distinguish one thing or person from another. Sorry Mr Shakespeare! There is something more to this ‘name’ thing. There is another English proverb that says ‘Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me!’ This is directly opposite to the Māori proverb, ‘He tao rākau e taea te karo; He tao kupu e kore e taea te karo.’ An attack with a weapon can be easily parried. An attack of words cannot be so easily pushed aside. The pen, Mr Shakespeare, is mightier than the sword. The word/name ‘Pākehā’ has met with some controversy. The first humans in Aotearoa were Polynesian who later called themselves Māori. In their migration from Polynesia some termed themselves ‘iwi moana’ – ‘people of the sea’. In settling this larger land mass they called themselves ‘tangata whenua’ – ‘people of the land’. The signatories to the Treaty of Waitangi were the ‘rangatira’, the leaders of the ‘tangata whenua’ and the representative of the Crown of England, a primary mechanism by which those who came to settle this land had gained the permission of the people of the land – ‘tangata whenua’ – to settle here. Many were called ‘Pākehā’. Some came to the belief that the term was not complimentary. A significant number of them assert that they have
Cuppa
been part and parcel of this land for five, six, even seven generations – and they are not Māori, but have become people of this land. They have a point! The Chief Judge of the Waitangi Tribunal Sir Taihākurei Durie, elegantly suggested a new term, ‘tāngata tiriti’ – people of the Treaty. There is more to a name, than just the name itself. Labels are important. My everyday name is Tom (sometimes Tame) Roa. I am named for my father’s favourite uncle, his father’s brother, Tame (sometimes Tom) Roa. The word ‘tame’ is another word for ‘male’. So a male pig is called a ‘tame poaka’, a rooster is a ‘tame heihei’. I take pride in carrying that name. Just north of Te Awamutu is the lake we know today as ‘Ngāroto’. A ‘roto’ is a lake. The plural, lakes, in Māori, is ‘ngā roto’. The region in preEuropean times was dotted as it is today with a number of lakes, hence the name ‘Ngā Roto’, but the present Lake Ngāroto was much greater in area and volume of water than it is today. Streams were blocked in order to form an artificial lake where Ngāti Apakura and their fellow hapū/iwi including Ngāti Hikairo and Ngāti Paretekawa amongst others, farmed the fresh water tuna (eels) and pārera (ducks), enjoying a reputation for aquaculture and agriculture. On this vast artificial lake they also built floating island pā. The region was named ‘Ngā Roto’ for the lakes, but the largest now known as Ngāroto was called ‘Wai Roto’. I congratulate the News editorial decision to use Ngā Roto instead of its past usage of Ngaroto. There is indeed something in a name.

Bringing the news from Ukraine By Mary Anne Gill
It's 7.50am in Ukraine and Lisette Reymer's eyes are blood-shot; her body language oozes fatigue. The Waipā-raised Newshub reporter and Daniel Pannett, a Methven camera operator, have spent three weeks covering the Russian invasion of Ukraine. They are in Odesa, a port city on the Black Sea in southern Ukraine, and just finished a live cross with Newshub Live’s Mike McRoberts and Samantha Hayes before they join The News via Zoom. Lisette, 27, the youngest of Cambridge dairy farmers Garry and Marie-Jose Reymer’s five children tries to relax while sitting in the hotel room where hours earlier she made pasta in a kettle. Grabbing sleep and food have been problematic for the pair as they chase the stories or run to safety in underground bomb shelters. As we start the interview, the fire siren goes off in Cambridge. “That’s a little bit triggering,” she says, a reference to the air raid sirens which go off regularly in Odesa because the city is on the Russian missile path to Kyiv from Crimea. Little wonder viewers back home are anxious about her. “People don’t need to worry about me, it’s very nice they do worry, and I know why they do. We’re as safe as we can be in Ukraine and we’ve had a lot of support around us to see we stay that way.” She reveals they are heading ‘home’ to England later that day. “I shouldn’t call it home, it’s a pseudo home.” But even when she gets back, it is unlikely she will get much time to relax.
On assignment – Lisette Reymer and Daniel Pannett in Ukraine.
“News never sleeps, the war is still going on.” Lisette took over from Lloyd Burr as Newshub’s Europe correspondent last year after she finished covering the Olympic Games in Japan. When she was eight, and attending St Peter’s Catholic School in Cambridge, she wrote that when she grew up she wanted to be a television journalist. Her brother Bjorn, 10 years older, the eldest of the five and the only boy, was at Broadcasting School in Christchurch. “I just wanted to be like him. Lots of his
friends were doing journalism, I just wanted to be cool like them.” Bjorn had set up a radio station on the family’s Kaipaki farm; the children would take turns broadcasting on it and Garry, an old boy of Te Awamutu College, would listen to it on his lawnmower or on the farm. He may well have been the only listener, Lisette surmises. She was a storyteller even then on the radio and making up stories to explain why she was late to netball games or showing off during Mass when she was an altar girl. “I’d sit there and gas bag with the gal I was
on with. I’d do the ding ding (ringing of the altar bell), everyone’s looking at me, life in the spotlight, I’d think I’d nailed it.” Then outside church her parents would give her a dressing down and tell her off for being a show pony, she says. Lisette followed her mother and sisters Anna, Christina and Kate to Sacred Heart Girls’ College in Hamilton. The school is also where fellow broadcasters Kerre McIvor (nee Woodham) and Bernadine Oliver-Kerby attended some years before her. Sacred Heart’s vision is to produce inspiring young women to change the world. Lisette has done that with her storytelling from Ukraine and she credits three teachers for helping her. The first is Gillian Kneebone, who taught at St Peter’s Catholic and retired last year, and the other two were English teachers – Margaret Crawford and Kathleen Wilson “the backbone of the English department” - at Sacred Heart. “They were so passionate; it was impossible not to fall in love with the subject. “I wanted to be a journalist, I wanted to go to Broadcasting School.” Ara Institute of Canterbury only took 20 broadcasting students a year, so the career advisor urged her to look at other options. “I hate when people tell me I can’t do something. It strengthens my resolve.” Plus, her brother had done it, so Lisette knew it was possible. In Year 13, thanks to Mrs Crawford who was always looking for ways students could expand their talents, Lisette won a competition to win a camera and $500 for the school and had an article about her mother published in the NZ Herald.

By then she had also been working as a volunteer in Hamilton community radio using her Catholic upbringing to host a religious show every Sunday. “I would do these really long-winded spiels about a Bible passage and then I would link it to some modern-day music I wanted to play as opposed to playing religious hymns.” She graduated from Ara in 2015 and was by then working for TVNZ having spent her internship the previous year on Breakfast TV. “It’s like baptism by fire. The internships are the most eye-opening thing you can do.” She was in a newsroom working alongside people she had admired for so long. “I grew up in a family where my dad would not miss the 6pm news and my opa (grandfather) would rush home not wanting to miss the news and I’m like sitting in this newsroom, a 19-year-old that my 50-year-old dad doesn’t want to miss a second of.” Four years ago, she moved to Newshub on Channel Three conceding it was scary “but the best decision I’ve made.” “A lot of people swap between the two channels. The industry is pretty small. I could have spent my entire career in one workplace. That doesn’t challenge you, you don’t learn. You get
too comfortable. You don’t meet new people.
a month of 22 hours of work a day. On top of that we’re dealing with some pretty big stuff obviously. We just work all day, then we’re travelling and changing time zones all the time and dealing with this pretty massive issue. “I don’t think it’s hit us until now. We’re both getting sick. When you’re tired your brain can’t resist thinking about things. “This week, there’s been a few times where I’ve said to him: ‘Can you just pray to someone, pick a God, any God, but we need someone right now on our side.’” The two manage to laugh a lot and get comfort knowing their stories are making a difference back home. Daniel says Lisette is one of the most professional journalists he has worked with. “She is extremely hard working to a point where I have to say, ‘maybe we should have a couple of hours off here.’” Lisette is grateful she has that “huge” family back home. “I love Cambridge. It’s one of the best places in the world,” she says. “I think of them all the time, I’m constantly messaging them and I miss all my nieces and nephews so much.” But for now, Europe is her news’ patch and she is doing exactly what that eight-year-old Waipā schoolgirl dreamed of doing; being a television In the news tonight – Lisette Reymer, backed by the Independence reporter and an expert storyteller. Monument, reports from Kyiv. Photo – Daniel Pannett
“I hate when everyone messages me and say, ‘you made me cry.’” “Every person that I’ve worked alongside has shaped who I am now. You get to be really greedy and pick all the best bits of these legends you’re working with and that shapes your storytelling.” Fast forward to February 2022 and she is the Europe correspondent when the big story breaks in Ukraine. “We had to be here. That’s the job, that’s what you do.” The stories have been heart-breaking. “I hate when everyone messages me and say, ‘you made me cry.’” “These stories are really important and sometimes you have to hit people where it hurts to make them care about something that is thousands of kilometres away. That’s what we aim to do here.” Daniel, who has been Newshub’s camera operator in the Europe bureau since January 2019, grew up on a Methven pig farm so they are both Kiwi country kids on the world stage. Lisette said they are worn out. “This week we’ve pretty much done

FAITH IN WAIPĀ
The faces of pain and loss… By Murray Smith, Senior Leader, Bridges Church
Images coming out of Ukraine, of little children’s fear-filled faces are one significantly distressing aspect of the Russian invasion for me. Shattered lives… displaced families - their hopes and dreams vaporised. Packing life into a suitcase, multiple thousands fled everything familiar, taking trains and buses or walking for miles, hoping to be received into a safer country. For others, the scramble for refuge has ended up in basement shelters or subway stations amidst the destruction. As the world lunges from crisis to crisis, each one tears at our heart…Syria…then, last August more human tragedy unfolded as the United States withdrew from Afghanistan. The American evacuation allowed Taliban insurgence to re-assert its terrifying influence. Scenes followed of panicking people jamming Kabul Airport, desperate to escape the country. Seeing hundreds of frantic people trying to prevent flights from leaving or attaching themselves to planes taxiing down the runway was horrifying. Worse, was the sight of people flailing to their deaths from airborne planes. Each had a story… carrying belongings… leaving bereaved families to mourn. Like Zaki Anwari, a member of Afghanistan’s youth soccer team, clinging to an ascending plane until his strength finally ebbed - a boy passionate for a shot at a sports scholarship and a better life. I own a book titled, “The Girl in the Picture.” Its famous cover photo brought the horrors of the Vietnam War before the world. Depicting nine-year-old Phan Thi Kim Phuc running naked down a country road, her face is contorted in agony following a napalm attack. In June 1972, North and South Vietnamese troops battled

outside Kim Phuc’s village. U.S. military officers leading the South Vietnamese forces, believed reports that the farming community had all fled. Sadly, unknown to US commanders and the South Vietnamese Airforce, many villagers remained, hiding in a temple. Thinking North Vietnamese forces had infiltrated the ‘abandoned’ village, a bombing attack was ordered. A napalm bomb hit the temple killing two of Kim Phuc’s cousins and two other villagers- the searing substance fell on the girl’s back, arms, and chest. Pulling off her burning clothes, she ran along the road with other traumatised children where they encountered South Vietnamese soldiers with reporters dressed in military uniforms. Kim Phuc and other villagers ran towards them, photographer Nick Ut capturing his world renowned shot. Running to help, he and other reporters quickly poured water on her burnt skin, taking her and the other injured children to hospital. Kim’s burns were considered unsurvivable. She endured 17 operations battling to live. Human suffering doesn’t inevitably end in pain and loss. A new trajectory began for Phan Thi Kim Phuc, at 19 years of age. Physical and emotional scars had left her bitter, depressed and suicidal, but coming across a New Testament Bible while visiting a local library to study, was instrumental in her conversion to Christianity and a journey towards faith, forgiveness and peace. Now residing in Canada, Kim’s testimony of God’s intervention in her life, offers countless others inspiration and the hope of transformation.

COUNCIL COMMENT
The magic of interest
When Omicron arrives…
Sometimes the ink is barely dry on a column before I’ve had an idea for the next one. In other weeks I’ll get to Tuesday morning with a deadline at lunchtime with not a clue of what’s to be written. This morning, in the latter situation, I was putting a couple of empty bottles in the recycling when I discovered my subject for the week. There was a sheet twisted into what looked like a passable escape attempt from a second-floor prison cell, hanging over a stepladder in the garage. Obviously, yesterday’s persistent rain prevented it from being hung on the line outside. I do have a recollection of a request made to a teenager to “hang this up to dry in the garage”. People will only learn something effectively if it’s important to them or if it interests them. The same teenager responsible for the damp sheet in the garage this morning, several years ago was able to recite, and probably still can, the names of 842 different Pokémon. Not only that, he could give you a detailed summary of their characteristics and capabilities. It can only be because he was passionately interested at the time, in the lives and escapades of the various Pokémon characters, whereas his interest in tidying up after himself or ensuring that his bed linen is washed and subsequently dried could be summarised on the head of a pin. He left school last year under less than auspicious circumstances; Cambridge High School having failed, through no particular fault of theirs, to capture his interest. Since then he has gone some way towards teaching himself to speak Japanese and has declared his intention to spend six weeks in Japan later in the year.
The year is flying by at council, we are in full swing with a multitude of projects underway. But firstly with Omicron rapidly spreading through our community I certainly appreciate the space we are all in at the moment, our personal need to ensure our family is taken care first and how our businesses and households are affected will be top of mind for many. I can now speak with some experience having contracted Covid recently, the whole family down at one time was a very interesting experience and I do think I could have been better prepared. Feel free to contact me if you would like some tips! I have bought a bicycle – I’m not known for my athleticism at all - but the time has come. Agreement around our Council table was for a new community committee to be established to challenge and scrutinise any further projects in Waipa that involves cycle/walkways for our towns. Remember there is $10 million spread across our district over the next 10 years. I am chairing this committee and the inaugural meeting is this month and there is no better way to fully understand the best routes to cycle them myself and understand the ramifications. Yes, I’m slow and probably annoying on the roads but actually I have come to enjoy it a little. I do watch the criticism shown on facebook towards cyclists at times – so this will be an interesting experience for me to understand both sides. It is also really important to note that our internal transport routes are critical to how a town functions. We will be reviewing your

There it is: Interest is the magic ingredient in learning, and saints are those rare teachers who can stimulate it. There was a bit of an altercation in our home a couple of evenings ago when the lady of the house went to some lengths to express her disappointment and frustration at the persistent gathering of used crockery on the draining board, not a metre away from the dishwasher. Yet to encourage the children to move said items that last part of the journey appears to be an impossible task despite several years of instruction, pleading, begging, telling, teaching, and imploring. What hope is there for the planet if one can’t impress upon young, supposedly impressionable minds the importance of doing something useful? How does one persuade a world full of adults, set in their ways, prejudiced, and otherwise disinterested, that they should make a radical change to their lives in order to preserve the planet which, on any given day, appears to be perfectly fine? There is, in my view, as much chance of the combined nations of the world sticking ONLY to the Paris-agreed 1.5° globalPLANET temperature rise by the of this century as is there is of a teenager hanging out the washing correctly.
submissions over the next few weeks in order for a high-level transport strategy to be confirmed. I am very keen to see communities think about how new technology might influence our thinking for our towns. In particular the My-way trial in Timaru has caught my attention (it is a public ondemand bus network) amongst other modes that are currently being trialled, for example driverless cars and ride shares. Another important reason for this strategy is to ensure robust plans can be put to Central government to help build a business case for major new routes – for example, new river crossings to accommodate future needs. Building this business case will bring central government to our table and hopefully enable a cost sharing arrangement for big ticket items. Our Waipa annual plan is also out for public comment, I am acutely aware of the increased financial stress many of us having been feeling over the last two years. Creating balanced communities means we have a thriving business community as well. “Nice to have” projects sometimes have to wait if our community feels the time isn’t quite right but this is up to you. I think it is important to understand how your money gets spent so we have outlined this in our plan document. I urge you to make sure you let your friends and family know if you do get Covid so there is a support network in place.

Southwell time it right By Steph Bell-Jenkins
Cambridge Cross Auto Electrical took on Southwell School Valley who won a nail-biter that came down to the last over at Cambridge Middle School on Saturday morning. Arin McPhee opened the batting for Cambridge and smashed 41 runs, including eight boundaries, before retiring with a strike rate of 128. He returned in the 29th over but was bowled out before adding to his total. Blake Urbahn was the home team’s standout, retiring on 35 off 30 balls before putting in a superb bowling performance to take two crucial wickets off his five overs with an economy rate of just 4.2 runs per over. Theo Goodwin also shone for Cambridge, chalking up 32 runs with the bat – his team’s third highest total – and collecting three wickets off 4.1 overs. Despite a strong all-round performance from Cambridge, who scored 255/6, the local boys lost the game in the last over, with Southwell finishing on 259/7. However the local side will have a lot of positives to take into next week’s game.

‘For me, the bush is the place where nothing else seems to matter and being there is everything. The air is clear the world is quiet; time stops.’ – Paul Kilgour The inspiring story of a wanderer, long-distance tramper and hut-bagging legend
BOOK REVIEW
GONE BUSH
A LIFE IN THE BACKCOUNTRY AND BEYOND
Paul Kilgour
Paul Kilgour was bitten by the tramping bug early. He began going on epic trips as a young boy, beyond the North West Auckland farm and out along the coast. During these wanderings, he met old folk living simply in tiny huts out the back of farms and on clifftops, and swaggers walking in remote and beautiful locations. Even at that early age, deep inside Paul stirred the spirit of adventure and a longing to go further. And further he went. GONE BUSH is about a lifetime of walking the backcountry – Paul has clocked up 50 years of it. He tells stories of the eccentric characters he met along the way, some of the 1200 huts he’s visited and his most unforgettable journeys. In 2007 and 2008, Kilgour walked the length of the South Island – his long walk home – an epic 1550-kilometre tramp from Fiordland to Golden Bay via backcountry huts and off-track routes. GONE BUSH is a charming, meandering read – like setting off on a serene tramp in the mountains, a heavy frost underfoot and the sun on your back. ‘Whatever form my next wanderings take if I’m in the bush or beside a backcountry river I’ll be happy. One step at a time is really good walking.’ Paul Kilgour
ABOUT THE AUTHOR PAUL KILGOUR is one of the New Zealand backcountry’s most famous names. He grew up in North West Auckland during the 1950s and 1960s, sometimes skiving off school to walk the farmland, bush and sand hills. When he shouldered his first tramping pack at age 21, he experienced a revelation, and knew he’d be doing this for the rest of his days. Kilgour has also had a lifelong obsession with baches, cribs and huts, and he is among the top hutbaggers of New Zealand. Paul lives near Takaka, Golden Bay, with his partner, Janet.

THURSDAY MARCH 24, 2022
with Jan Bilton
High-five faves
You don’t need a supermarket in your pantry to create and enjoy delicious meals. And when you’re running from work to make the school pick-up followed by the shuttle service to dance classes or sports practice, when you get home easy meals are a must. Five-ingredient meals using clever combinations plus a few basics from your pantry can be quickly and attractively prepared. The flavourful dinners that follow prove that you don’t need much to make a great meal. I kick off today’s recipes with a frittata that uses roasties from my supermarket’s freezer. They’re already spiced and add heaps of flavour to this popular dish. Roasties don’t always have to be roasted! I’ve combined them with cherry bocconcini. These useful little fresh mozzarella cheese balls add eye appeal as well as low-fat protein to dishes. Smoked salmon has a good shelf-life in the fridge and adds a smoky deliciousness to the gratin up next. I’ve chosen thinly-sliced smoked salmon but hot smoked seasoned salmon could substitute Risotto is comfort food and although it is necessary to add the stock to rice in about half cup portions stirring until it is absorbed each time, one can often ask for a helping hand. Or you can just stir and chat. NB: Salt, pepper and cooking oil are essentials and don’t count as one of the five ingredients. SOUTHERN-STYLE POTATO FRITTATA 2 tablespoons olive oil 350g frozen southern-style roasties 4 large eggs, lightly beaten 4 medium tomatoes, sliced 8 cherry bocconcini, halved Heat the oil in a medium, non-stick frying pan. Add the roasties in a single layer. Fry for 3-4 minutes. Turn and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes. Pour in the eggs, cover and cook over medium-low heat for 10-15 minutes until the base and edges have set. Meanwhile, preheat a grill. Place the tomatoes and
Southern-stylen potato frittata
Spanish risotto
bocconcini on top of the frittata. Place the pan under the grill until the tomatoes are soft and cheese slightly melted. Serves 4.
SPINACH RISOTTO 5 cups chicken stock 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 onion, diced 1 1/4 cups arborio rice 400g spinach, washed and chopped 3/4 cup finely grated parmesan cheese freshly ground salt and pepper to taste Bring the chicken stock to the boil. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large non-stick frying pan. Sauté the onion until softened. Add the rice and stir until coated in oil, toasted and fragrant. Add the boiling stock a half cup at a time stirring until it has been absorbed by the rice before adding the next 1/2 cup. Cook until the rice is tender about 18 minutes in total. The consistency should still be a little runny, not solid. Stir in the spinach and cook until warm. Remove from the heat and stir in the parmesan. Great topped with extra grated parmesan and a drizzle of olive oil. Serves 4.
SMOKED SALMON & SPINACH GRATIN 400g potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced 100g spinach, chopped 200g smoked salmon, chopped freshly ground black pepper to taste 200ml cream Preheat the oven to 160°C. Place the potatoes in a shallow microwave dish. Cover and microwave for 3 minutes. Cool. Place the chopped spinach in a microwave bowl. Cover and microwave for 1-2 minutes until limp. Cool then squeeze out any excess moisture. Layer half the potatoes in a 22cm x 12cm baking dish. Top with half the spinach and salmon. Season. Repeat the layers. Pour the cream evenly and slowly over the mixture. Bake for about 45 minutes until the potatoes are fully cooked and the tops is lightly golden. Serves 2.
