O’Regan: I won’t stand

By Mary Anne Gill

The race for the Waipā mayoralty has been given extra spice with the shock announcement this week experienced councillor Susan O’Regan – regarded by some as a potential contender – will not stand again.

Mayor Jim Mylchreest told the News in August last year he was standing and since then several councillors have been considering making a race of it.

Mylchreest was elected unopposed in 2019, but it looks certain there will be a race in 2022.

O’Regan, a barrister specialising

in family law before she was elected to the council, chairs the council’s Strategic Planning and Policy committee and drew huge praise for her handling of last year’s Long Term Plan deliberations.

She is joining Dairy NZ as its senior advisor strategic engagement but will see out her term until the new council’s election on October 8.

“My decision was not an easy one. I have really enjoyed doing my best to bring a strong, forward thinking rural voice to council and to have our lives as farmers and families living on the land considered in decision making,” she said.

“I have enjoyed working with a great bunch of people passionate about Waipā and am hugely grateful for their wisdom shared and help given to me over the past five years.”

Sources say deputy mayor Liz Stolwyk would be a serious contender, given she lives in Ōhaupō, represents the Cambridge ward and has strong community links across the district.

Delaying her decision is her loyalty to Mylchreest, family – she has three teenage sons – and her site manager job at Mighty River Domain, Lake Karāpiro.

Others mentioned in dispatches

We’re in the slot The first slots race seen in harness racing in Australasia will put the focus on Waipā next Thursday.

The major race on next week’s card at Cambridge Raceway carries a record purse and features a field of pure class, including four Australian entrants.

Setting up the $900,000 invite-only race - The Race by Grins – involved the Waikato Bay of Plenty Harness Racing Club selling “slots” into the race for $75,000 for a three year term. Similar slot races have garnered huge followings in gallops and greyhound racing in Australia.

Cambridge Raceway chief Dave Branch, who has spearheaded the project, has done everything he can do for the event – the government announcement this week that the country remains in red means the gate takings will be limited.

He just wants April 14 to be a fine day.

“We are hoping there will be 1500

include Cambridge councillor Philip Coles who has strong business support through his involvement with Destination Cambridge and the Chamber of Commerce. He is a real estate agent and a fifth generation Cambridge resident with strong ties to St Peter’s School.

Marcus Gower lives in Kihikihi and runs his own Information Technology business. He is into his fourth term on the council and has shown his strength in the regulatory areas. He chairs the Regulatory committee and is on the licensing committee.

O’Regan, a National party supporter, also ruled out a tilt

general admission sales and we will have a good atmosphere. In other circumstances we would have been hoping for a crowd of 5000,” he said.

General admission tickets cost $25 and come with a complimentary extras. Gates to the eight race card will open at 5pm and the big race starts at 8.55pm.

Branch is delighted with the quality of the field – probably the finest to have lined up at the raceway, and is confident the best show in Waipā next week will draw strong support from throughout the district.

The barrier draw will be made on Saturday. The full field is Krug, Stylish Memphis (Australia), Mach Dan (Aus), Pembrook Playboy, Majestic Cruiser (Aus), Hot And Treacherous, Spankem, South Coast Arden, Self Assured and Alta Orlando (Aus).

at the Tauranga seat vacated by Simon Bridges. Her mother, the late Katherine O’Regan, an MP for 15 years, ran twice in Tauranga, losing both times to Winston Peters, the last time in 1999.

O’Regan would not be drawn on who she would support only saying her departure presented an opportunity for another skilled and experienced person to step up.

“There is a lot of interesting work being done in Waipā right now and with the reform of local government in the pipeline it will be an exciting space to be albeit (in) somewhat uncharted territory.”

A great ride

I am 75 years old and love cycling. On March 1 I left Cambridge Oaks Lifestyle Village early to try the new 13 km cycle track from the Velodrome to Hooker Rd alongside Waikato River below St Peters, McGrath’s nursery and other farmland including a recently planted apple orchard.

I was so blown away with the quality, design, standard of workmanship and general layout of the track that I went back for a second ride later in same day.

What a privilege we “oldies” have to be able to jump on a bike and explore places like this without being on the road.

I don’t have an “e” bike and can now complete the return trip to Ngaruawahia and back to Cambridge (105kms) without being on the road. How good is that?

The investment of $45m on this track for local health, tourism and general well-being is money well spent. The track is over 2m wide so access for maintenance contractors is easy.

What a gem – one of the best rides in New Zealand. Thanks to Simon Perry and the team – a great asset to for so many ages to enjoy.

Three Waters

Thank you for the great article by Matteo Di Maio regarding the light- up of the clock tower and Town Hall as well as the other actions taken by the students of Cambridge High School in support of the people of Ukraine.

I wonder if anybody has taken time to consider the positives regarding the three waters reforms? The biggest of these is that taking this away from local government means that the risk of disaster is removed. The Havelock North incident a few years ago was a direct result of council staff incompetence and infrastructure that was well overdue for replacement. Here in Waipā we have had a recent flurry to catch up Te Awamutu’s supply as it has been neglected for decades.

Looking at Auckland, they have a guy there who is in charge of a reservoir and for all the hundreds of thousands of dollars he is paid, he cannot stop the leaks.

In most cases councils farm out the control of municipal water to contractors at every level so we pay double or triple for the service. Here in Waipā, the meter reading and billing is done by someone else.

If you look carefully at it, you may find that the water is excessively billed and the money

Last week, I became aware that some our older community members have again been targeted by online scams. Fortunately one of our retailers picked up the purchasing pattern, intervened directly with their customers when possible and in one case highlighted an ongoing fraud to me.

The individuals involved were approached via the messaging application, WhatsApp or email. They were initially befriended and then conned with a tale of hardship into providing cash to payments via iTunes gift cards.

In two cases I know of, the scammer pretended to have reached the New Zealand border but had been denied entry or lost all their funds at that point. They then requested money to assist with getting into New Zealand or back home. They also told the victims they intended to come and visit them just as soon as they could get things organised. Needless to say, this was all a lie. In one case, the money conned from the victim totalled a few thousand dollars within just one month.

While not everyone is aware of the

possibility of scams, these perpetrators are extremely convincing. They ruthlessly take advantage of vulnerable people and their good nature. Unfortunately, scammers are frequently based overseas and the likelihood of being able to trace the contact or recover any money taken is remote. As always, the best way to avoid them however is to be aware of the potential and not respond to any initial spam or scam approaches. I ask that as a community we take the opportunity to discuss this issue with our elderly friends and family, especially those who may be less Internet savvy.

On a different note, last weekend, a large group of boy racers were reported to be congregating and doing burnouts in the Whitehall area. We were subsequently able to identify and impound one of the vehicles involved. Please keep information coming into Police when this occurs. Where it is safe to do so, obtain the registrations of vehicles actively involved, vehicle descriptions and what they were doing (for example, doing a burnout out, tyres spinning and smoke being produced for ‘x’ amount of time or tyres

goes by way of “internal borrowing” to all sorts of lovely extras. When it comes time to do an upgrade, the depreciation account is empty and the money has to be borrowed. The council has taken its eye off the ball once again.

Councils have had their chance to run the show properly and for the benefit of the people and they have all failed to such an extent that their strangle hold on water should be taken away. We deserve a better deal. The same goes for power reticulation. It is not acceptable to be paying for three levels of governance when one would do. (Abridged) James Parlane Te Awamutu

Resthaven Funding

Ken Morris was exactly correct in refusing to grant Resthaven Trust, Council funding to build one unit for $81,000; he followed procedure and rightly so. However our Mayor has blundered into offering surplus funds from pensioner housing reserves. I call on the council to table where these surplus funds arrive from and why these funds have not been used to bring all pensioner housing into line with tenancy laws. These funds could be better spent on making Kihikihi pensioner flats warmer by putting in false ceilings with insulation and taking any trip hazard out of bathrooms. How about the council publish income and expenditure accounts for the past five years for pensioner housing.

With vehicle registration and supporting incident information, we can make follow-up enquiries, even if we don’t catch up with the cars on the night. Under section 118 of the Land Transport Act 1998, the registered owner of a vehicle is required to provide to Police when requested and within 14 days, details of the driver of their vehicle on a specific date and time. If they do so, we can follow-up with the driver themselves.

If the owner fails to satisfy their obligation or provides false information however, they will then themselves face a charge.

That offence carries a penalty of up to a $20,000 fine and a potential disqualification from driving. As a witness, please note you would almost certainly be required to provide a statement to police outlining what you observed to prove any driving behaviour not directly witnessed by police.

Delivering your News

Ovato, the company that distributes the Cambridge News and Te Awamutu News, is closing its delivery business in New Zealand.

Good Local Media, publisher of The News, wants to retain the services of all delivery people employed by Ovato in Waipā. “We deliver more than 25,000 copies of The News in Waipā and we are working to establish a new delivery network to ensure readers continue to receive their ‘must read’ newspaper every week,” publisher David Mackenzie said.

Lapping it up

More than 50 St Peters students did “Laps at Lunchtime” last week to raise $13,000 for the Cancer Society. The move followed the cancellation of the Relay for Life event at Claudelands.

Swears House leaders and deans brainstorming for an event in a Red Covid setting came up with Laps at Lunchtime where limited numbers were able to participate to raise awareness and funds for the cause.

Kiwibank winner

The co-founder of the Māori power company Nau Mai Ra, introduced to The News readers in August 2020 as a company aiming to appeal to Māori, has been named Kiwibank’s Young New Zealander of the Year. Ezra Hirawani, who affiliates to Te Āti Haunui-a-Paparangi, Ngāti Rangi, Ngāpuhi, Ngāti Hako and Waikato Tainui, founded the company in 2019.

In December the company said it had 1000 customers – but a waiting list of 10,000.

Correction

The News reported last week no dividend had been paid by Hamilton Airport to its council shareholders since 1989. In fact, it paid a $300,000 dividend as recently as 2020 to Waipā, Hamilton, Matamata-Piako, Waikato and Ōtorohanga councils.

Waipā’s share was $46,800.

The News apologises for the error.

Council explains ‘buy local’ push

By Mary Anne Gill

Waipā District Council says a Buy Local campaign using its ratepayer funded communications department will focus on its own social media platforms.

Details of the campaign were unveiled at an unadvertised council workshop last week with Customer and Community Services group manager Sally Sheedy saying the council wanted to support the business community.

But Good Local Media has questioned the need for the council campaign saying it was an inappropriate use of ratepayer funding and its newspapers in Cambridge and Te Awamutu were already running Shop Local campaigns.

The council could “cherry pick” The News’ advertisers, impacting on the viability of regional

media, said publisher David Mackenzie.

Sheedy said some of the stories its communications department would find might suit a more in-depth look which it would provide to the local media.

There would be no exclusive arrangements with any media organisation, she said.

The council would work with local businesses, Chambers of Commerce in Te Awamutu and Cambridge and local social service providers to create a “positive and uplifting campaign to show the diversity, innovation and sheer determination from our local business community to continue on throughout the effects of Covid-19.”

Cambridge Chamber of Commerce chief executive Kelly Bouzaid said it already had a shop local campaign under the Totally Locally

Cambridge brand.

It was great to see council thinking “in this space” and “we 100% advocate for shop local - but I wonder if local government should be spending ratepayer money to promote individual businesses.”

Mackenzie said it was not the role of the Waipā communications department to write advertorials for commercial operations or compete with existing local companies, in this case Good Local Media.

“This campaign has the potential to have a negative impact on the one newspaper company committed to producing exclusive Waipā content at a time when it is facing massive price hikes in the costs of distribution and newsprint and has seen a downturn in advertising from the district council,” he said.

End of pass rules celebrated

By Mary Anne Gill

Between 50-200 people entered Waipā District Council facilities on Tuesday to celebrate the end of vaccine passes.

Nina Parker, a Cambridge woman who launched a legal fighting fund last December to prevent the council requiring vaccine passes for entry to its venues, said it was an emotional day.

The group went to Te Awamutu and Cambridge libraries and then Go Waipā swimming pools in both towns.

“As a group, there was a lot of discussion about the healing nature of deciding to re-enter this way.”

Parker made a speech at each venue and read a submission by a 92 year old Christian man about trusting each other and people showing

compassion to each other. “I feel this was fitting for how we must move forward as a community.”

There were some tense moments around mask exemptions by some council staff, she said. “I feel this is natural.”

Waipā Community Services acting manager Brad Ward said “lots” of library books were checked out.

“We did note in general across the whole day that there was a level of confusion from members of the public to whether masks were still required since other restrictions had been lifted – so we were reminding people that Covid protocols still required a mask to be worn indoors by those aged 12 and over.

“Some of those without masks held exemptions which was also acceptable.”

Go Waipā chief executive Matthew

A group of people entered Te Awamutu Library when vaccine pass mandates came off on Tuesday.

Horne said there was some “minor confusion” around mask wearing.

Masks must be worn entering and exiting the pools’ reception and dry side areas but once inside the actual

pool areas, masks are optional.

“I feel there is a lot of emotion on all sides about these changes, and I respect where all people are coming from,” said Parker.

How not to peddle a great yarn…

By Mary Anne Gill

It is a good news story we struggle to tell.

A woman on the Te Awa River ride required an ambulance on Sunday morning after an accident.

We wanted information about how emergency services get to the new river ride, but getting organisations to tell us about it has been a struggle.

We knew an ambulance reached an injured woman who was on the river

ride and arrived having travelled cross country from Cambridge Road through the St Peter’s School Owl Farm.

A Cambridge security company cut the lock on a gate allowing ambulance access to the newly opened ride.

The woman was taken to Waikato Hospital where she was treated and discharged.

St John said it assessed and treated one patient with moderate injuries on the scene but declined to comment further citing the

Privacy Act. We wanted to know more - thinking a well-structured emergency management plan was behind the successful operation so asked St John, St Peter’s School, Waipā District Council and Brian Perry Charitable Trust, who developed the Te Awa River ride for further comment.

Waipā council referred us to Te Awa River ride for comment.

We then learned the council was a key player in an emergency management

plan.

We went back to the council where a spokesperson thought we were asking about the nature of the injuries to the person.

It turns out the emergency management plan for Te Awa River ride is still in draft at Waipā and a consultant is finalising it.

But Waipā did say the gates have a numbering system so emergency services and others have a reference point to “expediate” assistance.

This is St John’s Heart of

Gold annual appeal week and chief executive Peter Bradley has called for the public to support it with a donation.

This story was an opportunity to show how St John has connected at a local level, with local authorities, to get access to injured people.

A good news story, it appears, has been hampered by a fear of breaching the Privacy Act. • Can you tell us more?

Complaint made Painting to raise funds over quarry

By Mary Anne Gill

An opponent to a planned quarry just south of Cambridge has told the Waikato Regional Council he believes an unconsented sand quarry is operating in the same area.

Rhys Powell lodged a complaint with the council on Friday alleging Beacon Hill Contracting, which has a sand quarry at its registered office – 599 Oreipunga Road, Maungatautari – is operating illegally.

Wayne Allan, Waipā District Council group manager District Growth and Regulatory, said there was a small sand quarry on the land and the council would conduct a further investigation as to whether consent was required for it.

“We currently have no consents on record for this quarry, however farm quarries (for material used on-farm) are a permitted activity in the rural zone.”

Elwyn Andree-Wiltens, who was elected unopposed for the Maungatautari ward at the 2019 local body elections, has a 25 per cent shareholding in the company

and lives across the road from the quarry.

Powell lives in French Pass Road which would border a proposed sand quarry 2kms east of Cambridge. He alleges the giant quarry would see 200 trucks a day visiting the site and travelling through the town. There were huge health, environmental and cultural issues if the quarry next to his property was allowed to proceed, he said.

Beacon Hill Contracting is described on its website as a family-owned earthmoving company operation which initially carried out general farm maintenance and has now moved on to major farm conversion jobs with large scale earth-moving projects.

Companies Office records show the company was formed in August 2012.

In recent years the company’s work base diversified into civil works, drainage and roading while working alongside local and regional councils for project consents, the website says.

The other shareholders, each with 25 per cent, are Albert, Mark and Julia Andree-Wiltens with the two men as directors.

The painting Cambridge artist Carole Hughes is donating as a fundraiser for the RSA.

Rhys Powell .

The News approached the company and Cr AndreeWiltens for comment. No response had been received when The News went to print.

The regional council confirmed it had received a complaint about the Maungatautari quarry.

Powell said after he found out about the planned quarry next to his property in French Pass Road, he went looking on Google Earth for other mining operations in the area.

That is when he saw the quarry in Oreipunga Road which is visible from across the Waikato River at Little Waipā Reserve on Horahora Road.

“This is the first (quarry) we found, we are looking at others as well,” he said.

A large painting of poppies by one of Cambridge’s leading artists, Carole Hughes, is being auctioned this month to raise funds for the Cambridge and Te Awamutu branches of the Returned Services Association (RSA).

Bidding in the silent auction fundraiser opened at 5.30pm on Monday, and will close at noon on April 26, with the winner to be notified on April 29. The highest bid will win the painting, and funds will be split equally between Cambridge and Te Awamutu RSAs. Carole has called the painting ‘In Flanders Fields’ in honour of the famous memorial poem of the same name written during World War One by Canadian physician Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae, after he presided over the 1915 funeral of a fellow soldier who died at Ypres. The poem was published in the same year in the London magazine, Punch, and has become one of the most quoted war poems of all time.

Carole is a well-known expressionist artist whose bold fauve art style has seen her work exhibited throughout New Zealand. She donated the poppies painting to raise funds for the RSA because of her own family links to World War Two. She gave the work to Cambridge News, and Te Awamutu News, and it is through the

newspapers that the silent auction is being managed.

The painting will be displayed at the Te Awamutu RSA rooms to 4pm on April 15, and at Cambridge Unichem from April 16 to noon on April 26.

RSA District president, and president of the Cambridge RSA, Tony Hill, said: “We are very grateful to Carole for the effort she has put into this.

The money raised through the auction will go into our Poppy Trust to be distributed to our veterans and their families. Many of those we help are contemporary, younger veterans who have been involved in conflicts such as Afghanistan and Iraq.

They also need our assistance, and we are incredibly appreciative for this opportunity to raise funds.”

He urged all veterans in the region to contact their local RSA if they needed support.

Te Awamutu RSA secretary/manager Graeme Ambler said all the funds coming across to Te Awamutu through the auction would be distributed through their Poppy Trust to veterans in their area.

Bids should be emailed to admin@ goodlocal.nz, and email should include the bidder’s name, email address and phone number.

AGE OF REASON

FAITH IN WAIPĀ

A challenge for retirement villages The wrong thing to get wrong…

By Murray Smith, Senior Leader, Bridges Church

By Peter Carr

My editor’s brief - when he persuaded me and a couple of others to commence writing opinion pieces two and a half years ago – was to look after the interests of those of advancing years.

I respect the views of my fellow opinion writers Peter (futurist) and Murray (ecumenical interests) who usually stick relatively closely to the opinion pathway dictated by the editor. I generally attempt to keep within my given parameters although, from time to time, straying into other matters of wider interest. And it is pleasing to be the recipient of many comments of which the majority, thankfully, are supportive.

That said, in a perfect world, anyone who sticks their head up above the fourth estate parapet must expect the occasional opprobrium-laden blast. And I get my fair share of those.

So, this week I will fall into line and look at the plights of some of the old ‘uns.

And my beef is simply this. If we are an ageing society and if the costs of living are rising above our planned retirement income, how shall we all exist? It is no secret that my wife and I reside happily within the confines of a well run and friendly retirement village.

Sure, from time to time the odd boil bursts out and a (very small) World War III erupts but generally (and happily) the boil recedes, and the skin is smooth again. Common however to all those residents has been the financial ability to be able to purchase the contract that binds us all to this collective security, social enjoyment and a caring management. And with a brand new and large care centre being built on the premises it cannot all be bad.

But the village and the 400 or so others

in the country are well populated because the residents scrimped and saved throughout their lives generally building up equity on several residences they owned.

Or if rural bound in early years, improved the value of the land that they tilled or upon which they displayed good animal husbandry.

But all this is changing as, for a couple of years, I have been advocating a view that within 10 years from now there will arrive a large group of people who have not taken the property equity growth path. Either because they chose not to or, and especially currently, because they cannot afford to buy and maintain worthwhile residential assets.

Either way they are not following the normal save for retirement path.

Of all people over 65 years who are employed, a quarter work for the savings they will use later in life. But 29 per cent work because their financial ability to enjoy life ahead is not compatible with their acumen to either save, or are short of that requisite equity for forthcoming change.

Ten years ago, two per cent of the working population was older than 65 years. It is now seven per cent.

My warning to the retirement village industry is that in 10 years there will be a paucity of retirees who can afford to buy into retirement village life. The nice villas and apartments will turn into rental properties.

The buy-in cost to village care centres will also be beyond the reach of these people throwing them onto the finance-restricting domain of district health boards – or whatever replaces them.

The downhill slalom at the Winter Olympics is an exciting event. Skiers hurtle around alternating red and blue ‘gates’ weaving their way to the finish in the shortest time possible. Missing one means disqualification.

The official Olympics website states downhill skiers reach speeds of 130kph although they can travel up to 160kph depending on the course.

During one Winter Olympics, a contingent of people were ‘camera bombing’ the vicinity of where the world’s best skiers were battling it out in the downhill slalom event.

They waved painted placards with the wording ‘John 3:16’ slapped on them and drew an international television audience’s attention.

Two commentators conducted a live narration as competitors took their turns in an effort to complete the downhill slalom course faster than any of their rivals.

The commentators back and forth banter was interesting and inevitably their attention was drawn to the John 3:16 placard crowd.

Their conversation went something like this…

Commentator A: “So what do you make of these supporters waving John 3:16 signs?

Can you offer our viewers insight into what exactly these signs are about?

Commentator B: “Well I’m not exactly sure, but I believe that ‘John…’ (giving full name of a competitor and the country he represented) has a lot of support among the crowd… he’s a popular figure in the sport, as these skiers vie for lowest points… as for the 3:16, I believe fans are reminding John that he holds third place at the moment and he cannot accrue any more penalty points to

his current ’16’ in order to retain a podium position.”

Commentator B was wider off the mark than any skier could ever get navigating a gate on the course. John 3:16 is actually a reference to a verse in the Bible.

Spelled out plainly it is the most famously known sentence in the whole Bible being found in the third chapter and the sixteenth verse of the Gospel of John.

“For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

The placard wavers’ intention of inspiring people to open a Bible and read this important verse had validity - irrespective of views regarding their strategy.

I say this since there’s inescapable truth in these words that everyone must deal with. Time marches on… death comes to everyone, yet so many will not inherit eternal life. Defining our eternal state is a choice - rejecting or believing in God’s Son. John, a disciple of Jesus, wrote his Gospel as it appears in the New Testament section of the Bible.

He states emphatically why he wrote of his experiences during the time he spent with Jesus.

“These things have been written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God and that by believing you might experience eternal life in reliance on him.”

(John 20:31) May the urgency in John’s appeal speak loudly today…

Belated honour for Peter

By Mary Anne Gill

Cambridge economist Peter Nicholl has received an international award for his work as governor of the Central Bank of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Nicholl, who writes a regular column for The News, received the Central Banking Institute’s award last month for outstanding contribution to capacity building.

The 78-year-old Hamilton born, and Cambridgeraised banking consultant is delighted to get the recognition 18 years after he finished at the bank.

In 1997 he was recruited from the International Monetary Fund in Washington, where he had moved two years previously after 22 years with the Reserve Bank of New Zealand, to lead Bosnia’s first central bank.

He and wife Glynyss Watkins, also an economist, undertook an audit of the central bank which revealed the bank had little capital and almost no income.

They also helped design Bosnia’s new currency after there had been so much debate, no one could decide on anything.

When he left the bank

in 2004, the country had low inflation and a stable exchange rate.

The family, which now included daughter Lily, moved to Italy in 2006 – the same year he was awarded a QSM for his services in Bosnia, before returning to New Zealand seven years ago.

It was to Cambridge they went, Nicholl happy to be back where he grew up and went to school – at Cambridge Primary and High schools.

His family originally farmed on St Kilda Road, opposite where a new housing subdivision now is. Nicholl had left school in the 1960s to work for five years on the family dairy farm before taking up a job with Federated Farmers in Hamilton.

While there he studied economics through Massey part time and then achieved an Honour’s Degree in economics and accounting from Victoria University.

He tells the story of how at a job interview for a position overseas, when asked where he studied, Nicholl said “Cambridge.” So impressed were the interviewers, he got the job.

Since his return home, Nicholl has been a ministry-

appointed member of the Bay of Plenty District Health Board and a banking consultant.

He has a reputation of being able to explain economics in a noneconomic way and is often described as eastern Europe’s best central bank

governor.

His passion for rugby – he once played for Hautapu – means he will soon be writing for The News wearing a sportswriter’s hat rather than an economist’s one. Nicholl would be the first to say they are not that different.

NO PLANET B

HE WHAKAWHITIWHITINGA WHAKAARO

Where’s there’s smoke…

Views of history

By Tom Roa, Tikanga Advisor, Waikato University

As I write this, a karakia resounds with me, conducted recently at Ōrākau, to commemorate the event that took place there which we know today as ‘The Battle of Ōrākau’. In the early part of the last century Rudall Hayward filmed a very romanticised production which he termed ‘Rewi’s Last Stand’, loosely based on the same event.

Both of these titles excite in their languaging something in the reader of the term or the hearing of the listener to its recital. Both of them fall short of the actuality of that event and its significance both to this region, and to Aotearoa/New Zealand.

How we remember, and forget - often how we choose to remember or forget - our history has much to do with the contexts of our upbringing, our learning, and those who play leading roles in our lives.

I want to make it clear, if it is not clear already, that I write with a bias. That bias has much to do with my upbringing, my schooling, and my own exploration in, of, and with, others’ opinions some of whom I wholeheartedly agree with, others I wholeheartedly disagree with, and others again whose thoughts confound me completely! And vice versa, I daresay.

It is my understanding that on March 31 1864, more than 1400 veteran troops professional soldiers - of the most powerful army in the world at that time, the British Empire, equipped with the most modern of weaponry, laid siege to a hastily constructed, incomplete, defensive ‘pā’. Inside the pā were approximately 300 Māori men, women, and children, armed with muskets and their traditional weapons of defence, led by veterans of other encounters with the

By Peter Matthews

‘Armed Constabulary’ and ‘New Zealand Defence Force’, essentially farmers, fisherfolk, asserting that they were the force in defence of their lands, homes, livelihoods, way of life – this is termed by many to be a ‘battle’.

By April 2, after surviving an horrific bombardment of cannon and musket fire, the hastily garrisoned Māori defence force had exhausted their food and water and were very low on ammunition for their muskets.

Lieutenant-General Cameron called for them to surrender The response continues to reverberate with many today, ‘E hoa, ka whawhai tonu mātou, ake, ake, ake!’ – Friend, we will fight for ever, and ever, and ever! When invited to send the women and children out Te Ahumai’s response on their behalf: ‘Ki te mate ngā tāne, me mate anō ngā wāhine me ngā tamariki!’ – if the men are to die, the women and children must die also!’

So the defenders, after much heated debate, decided to withdraw. My mother’s tupuna Te Whakatapu, and Tiraroa, were amongst those who came away from there, not unscathed. My mother asserted they came away to fight in another way on another day.

Hardly ‘Rewi’s Last Stand’.

How we talk about ourselves and others; how we choose to remember, and to forget; and how we choose and use words in that remembering and forgetting show our biases. But then, as Rick Warren said in his book, ‘The Purpose Driven Life, What on Earth am I Here For?’, ‘We are products of our past but we don’t have to be prisoners’.

Driving through Cambridge at the weekend I was startled by a cloud of thick black diesel smoke which burst forth from a pair of vertical exhaust pipes attached to a large vehicle in front of me. Equally startling was the noise which accompanied the burgeoning cloud.

After the audio visuals the next sense to be assaulted was smell; this was thick diesel smoke and all my windows were open.

Pretty sure I could taste it as well. Thankfully the last of my five senses remained untroubled, but judging by the acceleration with which the vehicle took off, touch was a real possibility for anything in front of it.

The upshot of all this fuss was to move our protagonist forward, very quickly, by 40 or 50 metres whereupon he (I’m assuming ‘he’) had to put his braking system through a stringent practical test in order to prevent him from mowing down the people on the second pedestrian crossing on the main drag.

You may have noticed my intentionally jarring use of the word ‘drag’; it’s not a word I would normally use to describe the main thoroughfare of our town however it does enable me to say: It’s not meant to be taken literally.

These exploits should be reserved for the aptly named dragstrip at Meremere.

Clearly this was attention seeking behaviour, and I’m sure plenty of heads were turned: Job done.

It’s easy to ascribe my best prejudicial stereotype to the character concerned and come up with a raving lunatic who would like to have been at the forefront of the Capitol Riot of 2021.

Perhaps his haste was due to his need to get back to his hydroponic plantation

to adjust the delicate balance of nutrients required for the optimum crop - of lettuce of course - what did you think? - oh well that’s just your prejudice.

So I tutted, and glanced to the pavement in search of anyone with whom I could exchange a stoically aggrieved raise of the eyebrows. We all want reinforcement don’t we? We all want people to think how cool we are. How competent, successful, together, and organised we are. We want everyone to believe our social media persona at face(book) value.

In fact I wonder if that is all most people really want: affirmation. You pat your pet dog’s head and say “Who’s a good boy then?” and the dog’s life is complete. Is it the same for people?

The person responsible for the vehicular histrionics and spiralling smoke wanted his audience to be impressed, and I daresay some of them were.

I wasn’t. However I do feel some gratitude to the person since the incident precipitated the train of thought which I have just laid before you. I have to concede that the evidence in support of my initial reaction was thin at best. I have no reason to ONLY PLANET suppose that the occupant of the thunderous contraption before me wasn’t a human rights lawyer working for Medecin-Sans-Frontieres - except he wasn’t was he?

Four funerals…

By Viv Posselt

Hundreds of people packed the Cambridge Raceway stands to farewell publican Richard Bright and extend their sympathies to the families of the other men who died with him in the March 20 boating tragedy off North Cape.

Richard and four others died when their fishing charter boat, Enchanter, foundered during a storm. They were Cambridge’s Geoffrey Allen, Michael Lovett, and Mark Walker, and Te Awamutu’s Mark Sanders.

The outdoor service was officiated

by Kay Hallberg-Gregory, who acknowledged the presence of the families of those involved in the tragedy and praised the efforts of the search and rescue team.

“You have all shared something indescribable. This is a terrible time for each family.”

Most of those lost knew one another through shared patronage at the Group One Turf Bar in Cambridge, the pub purchased by Richard and his wife Brenda on April 2, 21 years ago. It became the centre of mourning last week.

Brenda told the News on Monday that the previous week had been an unusual one. Three funerals and a memorial service were followed on Saturday by a wedding uniting their daughter Julie and her groom, Reece Stratton.

“It was very impromptu as all the family was here, and they managed to get the licence through,” she said. “We had it in the back yard. It was a fitting end to a very big week.”

Those at the March 30 farewell service heard how Richard, a Ngāruawāhia lad from an early age showed his metal as a hunter, fisherman and future businessman. Kay Hallberg-Gregory who shared some of his childhood years, said his work ethic always stood out.

Richard Bright, aka Cambridge’s ‘Basil Fawlty’, and others lost with him were farewelled last week.

“He hankered after owning a pub, always loved being front-of-house,” she said, “and he always told Brenda he would never grow old… he didn’t like the thought of slowing down.”

Richard’s daughters, Jessica and Julie,

THURSDAY APRIL 7, 2022

and a wedding B

and his father Cyril, said he always had time for them and was generous to a fault. Cyril described his son as the strong and generous ‘core man’ in their family, one with whom he shared business ideas and a host of exploits through the years.

Others reminisced about Richard’s love of his grandchildren and willingness to support local causes, including the volunteer fire brigade. He was known for his hunting and fishing prowess, his love of horses and his perfectionist traits when working the bar.

“He could pour beer faster than anyone, take change quickly, and always put on a bit of a show if you were watching,” said Rick Williams of The Oaks Stud. “I recognised when meeting him that he was a bit free-range … he danced to the beat of his own drum.

The more he liked you, the more abuse he’d give you.”

That blunt, ribbing characteristic was much mentioned at Richard’s farewell.

Peter Archer described him as an ‘enigma’, a teaser who was also humble, caring, humorous and ‘totally offensive’.

George Simon told mourners that Richard called him ‘his favourite nonCaucasian New Zealand race-caller’, always with a touch of salt, adding that he was the only ‘non-Caucasian New Zealand race-caller’.

“After 40 years of knowing Richard, I can finally say what I want without him interrupting me,” he said. “Richard was loud, rude, inappropriate, obnoxious … he was Cambridge’s version of Basil Fawlty.”

THURSDAY APRIL 7, 2022

Bridging the gaps This year is a biggie for Waipa. We have an ambitious ‘To Do List’ including the Annual Plan, the review and adoption of three major strategies - Transport, Environment and Economic Well-being plus the development of our district-wide Community Spatial Plan.

Strategies like these represent a long-term vision of what we want our district to be like in the future. They drive important conversations with residents, but it’s important those conversations are based on fact.

The Draft Transport Strategy has created a bit of noise, specifically around the population projection data being used and the planning already underway for a third bridge in Cambridge. There’s been a lack of clarity about these two issues so let’s clear it up.

The population numbers we rely upon for all our planning are used at both a district and a sub-regional level. We all know they are not perfect (no projections ever are) but they are also used consistently by our neighbours and by multiple government departments. It is critical we are all working from the same place.

Those population numbers are always under review. When they are updated, we

will be plugging the new numbers into all our strategy work, as will everyone else. The suggestion we are working with “wrong” data is wrong and, in many ways, irresponsible.

The very same numbers we and other councils use are the ones used by Waka Kotahi, the government agency which helps fund big roading projects including (we hope!) a third bridge for Cambridge.

We know we will need a third bridge in Cambridge; council absolutely agrees and I can assure you work has already begun.

In June last year, councillors unanimously agreed to allocate around $300,000 for feasibility work to be undertaken if the draft Transport Strategy identified a need for a third river crossing. The strategy has done exactly that and work on a feasibility study is already budgeted and scheduled to begin very shortly. The suggestion we are doing nothing is false.

This feasibility study will help with a formal Business Case. Without a formal Business Case, based on agreed and consistent data that we all use, Waka Kotahi simply won’t be interested. And that would be a disaster for the whole of Waipā, not just Cambridge.

If Waka Kotahi don’t agree with our

Alys Antiques & Fine Art

business case (and our data), all Waipā residents will pay the full cost of a third bridge. This will add around $460 per year in rates to all rates bills… for the next 30 years. That’s unaffordable and inequitable.

We need to get our ducks in a row and make sure Waka Kotahi comes to the party.

This is why the development of the Waipā Community Spatial Plan is such an important part of our strategy work programme. It will become our blueprint, our planning roadmap for the next 30-plus years.

The Spatial Plan will pull together our existing plans and strategies to help us prioritise investment decisions for our district that all of us will have to fund. It will help us build connected, vibrant, liveable and resilient communities. It is an interesting, challenging, complex and large project.

I have decided not to re-stand for council so I will not see the Spatial Plan through.

But I will follow progress on this and on other Waipā strategies with interest. This work is critically important, it’s imperative we get it right, and we need everyone to help us to do that.

CAMBRIDGE VOLUNTEER FIRE BRIGADE CALLS OVER THE LAST WEEK

Waipā District Council has teamed up with the Department of Conservation, volunteers from Predator Free Cambridge and ecologist Adam Purcell from Titoki Landcare, to identify where long-tailed bats, pekapeka, are present throughout the district.

Waikato disability advocate John McIntosh, 74, has died in Waikato Hospital after a short illness. He was last year made a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit for his services to people with disabilities. Mr McIntosh, who was born with scoliosis – curvature of the spine – joined Life Unlimited Charitable Trust in 2003 and developed four disability resource centres throughout the Midland region.

More veterans honoured

Three veterans were presented with their Operational Service Medals at a Returned Services Association (RSA) gathering in Cambridge last month.

The presentation saw the Operational Service Medal (OSM) go to Robert ‘Bob’ Peterson and Kerry Ellis, and the Defence Service Medal (DSM) go to Mark Ryan. The presentations were led by NZ Defence Force Brigadier Jon Broadley, with the citations read by RSA President Tony Hill.

Bob Peterson BEM (British Empire Medal), joined the RNZN as a medical assistant in 1964. Three years later he was posted to HMNZS Blackpool, which in 1968 went to South-East Asia as part of the Commonwealth Far East Strategic Reserve.

While on a night exercise in the South China Seas, in which 40 ships took part in blackout conditions, a collision involving the Australian aircraft carrier HMAS Melbourne and the destroyer, the USS Frank E Evans, resulted in the loss of 74 lives and the USS Frank E Evans being cut in half. Together with then Lieutenant Paul Murphy, who received his NZOSM earlier this year, Bob was the first to help survivors - it was for this service that he has been

awarded the OSM. Once back in New Zealand, he joined the Navy Hospital before being drafted to the HMNZS Lachlan for a year. He left the Navy in July 1972 and was awarded the BEM in the same year.

The OSM was also awarded to Kerry Ellis, who joined the RNZN in 1968, for his service in the Far East as part of the Commonwealth Far East Strategic Reserve and as part of the ANZUK Alliance Force. He was later posted to the Royal Yacht Britannia, then served with the NZ Military Police Unit in Singapore. On returning to New Zealand, he was posted to HMNZS Canterbury where he served until he left the Navy in 1988.

Mark Ryan enlisted in 1981 as a Territorial Force trooper posted to the Waikato Wellington East Coast (WAIWEC) RNZAC. He was later posted to the WAIWEC armoured personnel carrier troop in Ngaruawahia, and throughout his career served in the central North Island, Whanganui and Australia, rising to the rank of corporal.

It was for this service that he was awarded the DSM. In 1994, he left the Territorial Force to spend 18 years in the United Kingdom.

The presentations are among those being made following a government decision last November to change the eligibility for the NZOSM to include those who served in the Far East.

Golfers: home on the range?

By Mary Anne Gill

Waikato’s oldest golf club wants to free up part of its land so developers can create new housing and the club can undertake much-needed course improvements including fairway watering.

Members at Cambridge Golf Club, founded in 1900, recently voted in favour of more investigations and allowing the club executive to begin talks with property developers.

Due to Covid restrictions, the club meetings had to be held online. A total of 86 per cent of

members who voted were in favour.

President Dave Donnelly said the focus was now on the club’s long-term financial security so it would remain an affordable community asset.

The development would be the most significant at the club in nearly 25 years. The last was when the club leased about 5ha from Waipā District Council, created three new holes to the east of the Fergusson (Low Level) Bridge, adapted others and formed a driving range.

Neil Gibb, strategic development committee chair,

said the club’s membership now stood at 700 and its financials were solid.

But the course, with its sand and pumice base, dries up during the summer and has often been compared to the Sahara Desert. The base gives it an advantage in winter though with very little surface flooding.

The course is tired in parts and in need of work.

Many of the holes are the result of the Taupō volcanic eruption in 180AD when the large outflow of volcanic debris blocked the Waikato River’s old channel to the Firth of Thames at

Lake Karāpiro and changed the river’s direction.

The club’s signature par four fourth hole is the old river valley. Marketing for the course concentrates on how nature created one of the region’s most interesting courses.

Approximately six hectares of land within the course grounds have been identified for potential residential development. The work will involve the addition of two lakes, the creation of two new holes and modification to four others.

Golf clubs across New Zealand have faced considerable cost pressures in running their courses.

“While Cambridge Club shares those challenges it has a bright future given population growth and security of water to meet future needs,” said Donnelly.

Developers would provide advice on the financial model and the type of houses which would work in a golf club setting.

“Golf clubs aren’t property developers,” said Gibb.

“Property developers will know they have an agreed footprint of land to work with.

The aim is to have solid proposals for members to consider later in the year at which point the membership vote will determine whether to proceed with the development.

Council gives a bee plus

By Mary Anne Gill

Restrictions to beehives are to be removed from the draft Waipā Animal Nuisance Bylaw.

And people wanting to keep beehives at or above the second storey of a building can also do so provided the building is strong enough to support the additional weight.

The council’s Strategic Planning and Policy committee first heard verbal submissions on the proposed bylaw in February but it became clear then there was some ambiguity in the technical information and advice staff received about keeping bees.

Strategic Projects driver Graham Pollard originally suggested a maximum limit of hives depending on the size of the property and rules around location.

Submitter Phil Evans said there should be no restrictions at all on how many hives and where they were located.

He said the distance from the boundary is irrelevant and needs to be removed from the bylaw. “Fence height is of far more importance.”

Nuisance complaints could easily be dealt with by the council instead, he said.

The committee this week agreed to change the beekeeping recommendations and remove the clause limiting the number of hives and distance from the boundary provided there is a solid two metre high fence.

Apiculture New Zealand submitted on the bylaw earlier this year and told the committee hobby beekeeper members reported successfully keeping hives on apartment block balconies, on garage roof tops and on top of containers.

These bee changes to the bylaw will now be sent to council for adoption at its next meeting.

Maadi brings gold and silver

By Steph Bell-Jenkins

Cambridge rowers returned home with two gold and two silver medals after a successful 2022 Aon Maadi Cup this week.

This year marked the 75th anniversary of the prestigious New Zealand secondary schools rowing championships, held at Lake Ruataniwha in Twizel.

The event attracted 1302 rowers, 267 coaches and 95 schools.

Cambridge High School year 12 student Lucy Eastwood was the standout performer and the only Waipā school rower to win two national titles.

Eastwood teamed with Lauren Wood, Libby Tonks, Tegan O’Dwyer and Isabel Oxenham to win the girls

U16 coxed quad event on Saturday before taking out the U16 double sculls event with Izie Murray.

“Lucy had an outstanding regatta,” coach Michele Munro said.

“She got two silvers at Maadi last year in the same events and so to come back and get gold in both is a pretty cool story.”

Cambridge High School finished 11th in the Star Trophy points competition for overall champion rowing secondary school.

“We’re not one of the bigger powerhouses of rowing schools so it’s great to even feature on the medal table for us, and to be 11th is really cool when there are 95 schools competing,” Munro said.

“We’re just proud of the group in general. They had some fantastic

results out there. The girls U17 quad only just missed out – I think there was less than two seconds between third, fourth and fifth and we ended up fifth, so that was really close. And we had a fourth in the U18 double as well, so we were right up there but we couldn’t quite get onto the podium in a couple of races.

“Even just qualifying for an A final so you’re in contention for a medal at Maadi is a big deal and I think we made six A finals and seven B finals overall, so that’s something that we’re really proud of.”

Harrison McClintock was the star for St Peter’s, finishing second with Valentin Barrio, Jack Kidd, Josh Yeoman and Alyssa SherryMiddlemiss in the boys U16 coxed quad sculls before taking silver in the boys U16 single sculls.

St Peter’s director of rowing Janey Charlton said her school’s 38 rowers finished 23rd overall and 12th equal in the Presidents Scull points trophy for champion sculling school.

“The team made it through to 12 A finals and seven B finals, which was an awesome achievement and equalled the most A finals by any school,” she said.

“There was some incredibly tough and tight racing and our U16 boys had a wonderful regatta picking up silver. Then Harrison also had an outstanding race to pick up silver in a very tight finish in the U16 boys sculls.

“South Island Rowing did a

Mooloos are the golf Masters Results…

Cambridge golfers Sian Stevenson and Jill Morgan were part of the Waikato masters’ team which won the national title at the Alexandra Golf Course on Sunday.

Stevenson and Morgan are both members of the Cambridge Golf Club and were joined in the team by long-time Waikato representative Robyn Pellow of Ngaruawahia and Waikare’s Michelle Archer.

Waikato led from the first round on Friday and secured the Russell Grace Trophy ahead of North Harbour for the fourth time in what was the event’s 30th year.

The tournament was set up originally by a group of Cantabrians who wanted to have a tournament for ‘older’ women who had played for their district at an interprovincial level but were now seeking a format that encompassed women aged 40 plus. The four round format, scored by gross stableford points pits the 14 districts against each other, where the best three scores per team per round count to the team totals.

The Waikato team players all contributed in some round with the top scorer being Morgan with 132 points, Pellow with 128, Archer 122 and Stevenson with 116.

National champions: left to right – Jill Morgan, Robyn Pellow, Michelle Archer and Sian Stevenson.

with Jan Bilton

Appetising Easter

Let’s celebrate Easter. Taking a break, enjoying the end of summer and feasting with friends should set us up for the cooler weather to come.

My local region is celebrating with a huge foodie festival including: culinary gems showcasing their skills at cooking classes; unique dinners including a progressive one; a Taste Asian walking tour; a free foodie movie night; and among others, a wine and food evening.

Easter is a time when traditional treats take pride of place on the menu. Hot Cross Buns, chocolate Easter eggs and rabbits and lamb are enjoyed worldwide but how they are presented can make all the difference. Barbecued lamb is our family fave but a butterflied roast doused in a minty pesto is also a winner The hot cross bun has not always been associated with Easter.

Its origin lies in pagan traditions of ancient cultures with the cross representing the four quarters of the moon. Later the Christian church adopted the bun and gave new meaning to the cross. And although hot cross buns are normally enjoyed hot with lashings of butter you may want to turn the traditional into something contemporary. See the fruity number following.

FRUITY HOT CROSS BUN STACK These yummy buns make a divine dessert but can also be served at brunch.

1 cup kiwi berries pulp of 3-4 passionfruit 1-2 tablespoons honey or sugar 4 brioche hot cross buns 125g crème fraiche 1 cup each: raspberries, blackberries Top and tail the kiwi berries and halve. Combine the passionfruit pulp with the honey.

Halve the buns and lightly toast. Spread the cut sides generously with crème fraiche.

Top the base halves with the berries. Drizzle with the passionfruit pulp and cover with the top halves.

Excellent served with extra crème fraiche and passionfruit pulp on the side. Serves 4.

Fruity Hot Cross Bun Stack

Banana & Passionfruit Cake

BANANA & PASSIONFRUIT CAKE A super seasonal cake to serve at Easter.

Cake: 3 medium bananas, peeled and chopped 3/4 cup caster sugar 2 large eggs 125g butter, softened 1 teaspoon vanilla essence 3 tablespoons passionfruit pulp 1 3/4 cups self-raising flour 3/4 teaspoon each: baking soda, ground cinnamon Filling: 1 cup cream 2 tablespoons icing sugar 4 tablespoons passionfruit pulp Preheat the oven to 180°C. Lightly grease a 20cm cake pan.

Line the base with baking paper.

Place the bananas in a food processor with the caster sugar, eggs, butter and vanilla. Process, until smooth. Scrape into a bowl. Stir in the passionfruit pulp.

Sift the flour, baking soda and cinnamon. Fold into the banana mixture. Do not over-mix.

Tip into the prepared cake pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes then remove from the pan and cool on a wire rack.

When cold, halve horizontally through the centre using a sharp, serrated knife.

To prepare the filling, whip the cream and icing sugar together until thick. Fold in 2 tablespoons of the passionfruit

pulp. Spread on the base half of the cake. Drizzle with the remaining passionfruit. Top with the remaining half cake.

Great dusted liberally with icing sugar. Serves about 8.

ROASTED LAMB WITH MINT & BASIL PESTO Kumara, pumpkin or potatoes can be roasted in a different pan at the same time.

Pesto: 1 clove garlic, chopped 3/4 cup lightly packed mint leaves 1/2 cup lightly packed basil leaves 3 tablespoons pine nuts 1/4 cup finely grated parmesan cheese 1/2 cup olive oil 2 tablespoons lemon juice Lamb: 780g butterflied leg of lamb freshly ground black pepper to taste Place the garlic, herbs, pine nuts and parmesan in a blender with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Pulse until finely chopped.

With the motor running, slowly drizzle in the remaining oil to make a paste. Remove to a bowl and stir in the lemon juice.

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180°C. Score the lamb and place in a roasting dish. Rub about 1/3 of the pesto into the lamb pressing it into the scoring. Sprinkle with black pepper. Cover the remaining pesto and refrigerate.

Roast the lamb for 30 minutes per 500g. Remove, tent with foil and drape with a heavy towel. Rest for 15 minutes before carving. Dollop with the remaining pesto. Serves 6.

Bowling champions

Double delight - Chris Denton left, and Mary Hughes.

The last championship bowls of the season played at the Central Cambridge Bowling Club produced lawn bowls at its best.

After two days of very competitive play the young team skipped by James Hunter and ably supported by Clayton Hockley and Taylor Horn came out the winners.

The bowling was of a high standard and the runners up skipped by John Guppy with Robbie Davidson and Steve Howarth were worthy finalists.

The junior women’s pairs final was a tough battle between Chris Denton and Mary Hughes who overcame Hilary McBride and Robyn Searle to record the win and the championship.
