Report knocks ‘culture’ By Mary Anne Gill
An inquiry into Cycling New Zealand’s high-performance programme has criticised the culture at its Cambridge home of cycling base saying it is “fragmented” and that life in such a small town exacerbates loneliness and one-dimensionality. A 104-page report released to The News says the centralisation model used by cycling in Cambridge – also used by rowing and kayaking – is not generally positive for athlete wellbeing and “requires reconsideration.” Being immersed in a centralised programme in a small town like Cambridge reportedly led athletes feeling “trapped” within a high performance environment 100 per cent of the time. This “diminished their capacity to develop an identity outside of cycling, cultivate other interests/friends and therefore cope with poor performance or challenges within cycling.” The report was commissioned following the death of Olivia Podmore last year and was co-chaired by former NZ solicitor general Mike Heron and Massey University Professor Sarah Leberman. The former Olympian cyclist died in Cambridge on the evening of August 9 aged 24. Her death is a suspected suicide and was referred to the coroner. Hours before her death, she posted on Instagram about the pressures of high-performance sport. “The centralised model has not been the panacea that some might have hoped it would be,” the report said. High Performance Sport New Zealand says it is encouraging a more regional model but, in the report, Cycling New Zealand said it did not get funding for it and could not afford it. Authors of the report said the funding deficit was “exacerbated” by the high cost of living in Cambridge. Athletes reported rent was in the region of $200 per week per
person and the job market was small. “This fundamental tension needs to be resolved,” the report says. “We stress the need to consider centralisation carefully and apply it on a more nuanced and “as required” basis.” Athletes should be able to train in their home locations in lieu of long-term centralisation which should only be used when necessary. “This means a shift away from the Cambridge vs hub model.” The report also revealed some cyclists who were not in the high performance squad moved to Cambridge independently – feeling they needed to be where they were seen by national coaches - and once there found the environment challenging. The recent closures of Cycling New Zealand regional development hubs in Auckland, Waikato, Christchurch and Invercargill means more athletes would feel “compelled” to move to Cambridge before they were ready. The report recommends an induction process in the athletes’ home region before they uprooted their life. “It should incorporate their whanau… so that an integrated approach to induction can be taken that includes assessing readiness and setting athletes up for success before they arrive in Cambridge. This may include supporting athletes to find accommodation, employment and the like if they need it,” the report says. “We heard reports of various athletes in Cambridge struggling with mental health, some to a critical extent.” Waipā deputy mayor Liz Stolwyk had not had time to read the report in full but said the athletes she knew “appear to be well supported.” Cambridge would want to support athletes in whatever way it could, she said. “We are a town like any others. We have networks in place to help.”

Letters… Roading call
Well done Mary Anne Gill for her well thought out reporting on the proposed on and off ramps at the southern (golf course) end of the expressway. (Cambridge News, May 5). Jo Wilton from Waka Kotahi says the Victoria Road interchange provides connections to the Cambridge Township – and completely misses the point and that is, it’s the township that motorists wish to avoid when travelling north from the other side of the river. I agree with Mr Beard we should “argue, scream and yell at Waka Kotahi for an on ramp to go north” So denizens of Cambridge, if you agree then note and vote for councillors that support this view, and lobby local politicians to represent your voice.

With local body elections coming up very soon it might be pertinent to understand exactly what we can expect from those who are elected and their role if elected. Are they elected as figure heads or to represent our needs and wants? It had always been my
understanding that the people elected to council were elected with the expectation that they would act on our behalf. Do we want them spending time pouring over lengthy reports of dubious worth or do we want them actually looking into how we can get our needs met? Declarations of Conflicts of Interest are very important and we don’t want a councillor for argument sake, involved in property development and then making decisions on those developments without it being made known first. However, abusing the Declarations of Conflicts of Interest terminology as a means of stopping a councillor from doing what he/she sees as being what the rate payers they represent really want and need, can be a dangerous course of action and nothing but nothing should ever be done to impede our elected representatives from actually representing us as opposed to the “organisation” Hopefully with these upcoming elections our candidates will be asked in an open forum type of meeting some searching and revealing questions so we can all make informed decisions as to who we want representing us.

RSAs benefit Cambridge and Te Awamutu RSA clubs have benefitted by just over $1000 each from an Anzac auction. The auction for a painting gifted to Good Local Media for Anzac Day was promoted through the Te Awamutu News and Cambridge News – and the winning bid from an anonymous Cambridge resident was $2001. The painting ‘In Flanders Fields’
is the work of Cambridge artist Carole Hughes. Good Local Media advertising manager Janine Davy said the two papers also donated a portion of every poppy advert sold in each paper to the RSA. “We are thankful to all the businesses who participated to make this possible,” she said. A total of 31 Cambridge and 35 Te Awamutu businesses took part.
A ukulele session in Selwyn Park outside the Te Awamutu Library will run from 11am on Saturday May 28. The event is being put on for New Zealand Music Month by Waipā District Libraries in conjunction with the Kihikihi Ukulele Club and follows last year’s successful jam session held inside the Te Awamutu Library. Kihikihi players are likely to
be joined by players from the Riverside Ukes in Cambridge and the Morrinsville Ukulele Club. The event is also open to individual players who would like to join the session, and the floor will be available for an open mic session at the end. If the event is postposed it will be to june 4. Register ahead via waipalibraries.org.nz.

Asset sales slow Sale of Waipā District Council properties, integral to the council’s Long Term Plan aspirations, are behind budget, Property Projects
manager John Miles told the Finance and Corporate committee this week. The budget allows for $20 million in the first two years. Miles told the
committee everything takes a “little bit longer” when they are council properties but was confident things would “fall into place” in the next six months.
On the beat with Senior Constable DEB THURGOOD Trails and tribulations First of all, Constables Smith and Petch have asked me to pass on a thank you. Last week we received a call about a lady who had gone walking on the Waikato river trail, but had not arrived to meet her husband at the agreed time and place. Without a phone, we had no way of easily contacting her and on foot, finding her along the trail would be a lengthy process. Two passing e-bikers agreed to help. They rode off and subsequently found the lady on the path. She had got her directions a bit mixed up and ended up walking a lot further than planned. With this public assistance, husband and wife were swiftly reunited and all ended well. Continuing the theme of a helping hand, I wanted to highlight the strong social services support we have in Cambridge. Help is there if you need it. Have you heard of heretohelpu.nz ? This is a website that launched in April 2020 on the back of
Covid-19’s arrival in New Zealand. Initially involving providers in Hamilton, heretohelpu. nz recognised that the community needed quick, easy, non-judgemental connection to social and wellbeing support and aimed to provide that. Today the website provides access to a wide range of support services in the wider Waikato and Bay of Plenty communities. Anyone can submit a request for assistance online, regardless of whether you are isolating due to Covid-19 or not. Options include mental health support, food parcels and collection services, and prepared meals for isolating household. Remember, we all need help sometimes. It’s ok to reach out and I encourage you to do so. As you will read elsewhere in the paper, a stolen race car and trailer were recovered thanks to social media exposure. Social media is a very powerful tool and certainly can be helpful . If you do come across any
vehicle you believe is stolen, please remember to phone 111 directly. Offenders and other involved/stolen vehicles may still be present in the area, associated to the crime. Any forensic evidence can also be retrieved while keeping contamination to a minimum. We have had a few burglaries in the Carter’s Flat commercial area. We ask all businesses to be vigilant around security and removing the opportunity for theft. As I have said before, crime prevention and detection is a joint effort between Police and the community. The more eyes and ears we have reporting suspicious behaviour, the more effective we can be in our response. If it doesn’t seem legit, it probably isn’t, so let us know. Phone 111 at the time. Keep safe and have a good week.

Briefs… Police say social media was a key player in the recovery of a custom trailer carrying a race car and accessories stolen from Carter’s Flat. The car and trailer were found in a Hamilton suburban street and owner alerted by social media. Police are now carrying out a forensic examination of the trailer.
Water deal
Waipā District Council has signed up to a two-year project involving seven other organisations who say they will work on a catchment-wide approach to improve water quality. The Manga-o-tama catchment encompasses Ngā Roto, Lake Mangakaware, Lake Ruatuna, Lake Rotomanuka and the stream flows from Ōhaupō in the east to the Waipā River.
Going electric
Waikato Regional Council is preparing tender documents for revised Waipā regional bus services from Cambridge and Te Awamutu to Hamilton. Key to the nine-year contract will be Waipā being able to find bus charging locations in each town. Transportation manager Bryan Hudson said every effort should be made to find sites as there are significant environmental advantages with an electric bus fleet.
Numbers rising
Cambridge and Te Awamutu regional bus passenger numbers have started to increase but are still nowhere near pre-Covid numbers. Quarter one figures for Cambridge were 12,854 people while Te Awamutu had 14,674. Nine per cent of the Cambridge trips are intertown while fewer than two per cent in Te Awamutu are to and from Kihikihi.
Promotional funds
Waipā District Council has allocated $5000 from its District Promotion Fund to the Te Ika A Maui North Island men’s netball championships at Cambridge High School during Queen’s Birthday weekend and $2000 to the UCI Pump Track world championships qualifiers at Cambridge Pump Track before November.

Bid made for four quarries
By Mary Anne Gill
Beacon Hill Contracting has unveiled plans for four quarries extracting 125,000 tonnes of sand a year from its Maungatautari base. In a resource consent, filed with Waipā District Council last week, the company reveals there may even be a fifth quarry planned which would include the one operating illegally for at least five years before the council closed it down on April 13. The consent, lodged by Hamilton resource management and planning specialists Mitchell Daysh for the Oreipunga Road sand quarry, acknowledges quarrying had already begun on the site but does not say when. It just seeks to “address any associated activities retrospectively” as part of its scope. And further information has come to light about when Waipā District Council first knew about the quarry. In a written response, a council spokesperson said Beacon Hill shareholder Elwyn Andree-Wiltens contacted a council planner in March 2019 to discuss a proposal for a sand quarry. Andree-Wiltens was the Maungatautari ward district councillor at the time. She resigned last month because of her involvement in operating a sand quarry without a resource consent. The planner told Andree-Wiltens
in a March 22, 2019 email that to “establish a sand quarry on this site, a land use consent would be required.” The planner went on to say regional council consents may also be required for the “proposed activity.” Nothing further was heard about
the proposal nor were any preapplication meetings held between Beacon Hill and council staff. The first the council knew about the illegal quarrying came on April 1 when The News alerted the council to the existence of a quarry at the site.
During a site visit on April 13, Beacon Hill shareholders told a council enforcement officer there had been delays because of “various Covid-related” issues. • A longer version of this article is online www.cambridgenews.nz
The resource consent application is for four stages, including the existing stage one. A technical report suggests a fifth stage is planned on the Waikato River’s lower terrace.
Do the planning now, council told By Mary Anne Gill
Plans should be made immediately to ensure a fivemonth $2.5 million makeover of Cambridge’s historic Victoria Bridge has little impact on the town’s traffic. Waipā deputy mayor Liz Stolwyk made the plea at this week’s Service Delivery committee meeting saying the last time the bridge known locally as the High Level bridge – shut down for maintenance, it caused chaos. The bridge requires repair work and painting. The work is expected to start before Christmas and the bulk of the work will take place from January through to May next year.
Stolwyk said she was “really keen” to see some active solutions in place before it heard from the community. “It is always astounding how many engineers there are in Cambridge,” she said. “We have enough lead in time to develop a really, really good plan.” Her suggestions, if one or two lanes of the High Level bridge closed during the work, included creating a temporary roundabout at the southern end of Duke Street to allow more turns onto Fergusson Bridge. Transportation manager Bryan Hudson said the council was working with its consultants to identify

the origin and destination of a sample of traffic over Fergusson and Victoria bridges. “That will help build the picture of where the pressure points will be,” he said. Another option was to use light weight scaffolding to keep the weight down and allow both lanes to remain open. Failing that, the southbound lane could be open in the evening peak. Stolwyk said anytime the High Level bridge was partially or fully closed created frustrations in the community. “Now’s the time to interpret the data and put a really strong plan in place. I want to see the High Level
bridge maintenance plan successfully delivered.” Traffic congestion in Cambridge had been a “testy” subject for some time she said. “But that is certainly very typical of a growing town. We’re moving in a really positive direction to make changes,” she said referring to the council’s recently adopted 30-year Transport Strategy. The strategy confirmed the need for a third bridge in Cambridge with money set aside last year for a business case to Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency. The business case will make a pitch for government funding to help pay for the new bridge.

“It’s not always about roads,” said Stolwyk. This was time for Waipā and the Cambridge community to be innovative, particularly given the ongoing congestion. Meanwhile Cambridge Road, between Te Awamutu and Cambridge, has become “bumpy” in places, Hudson told the committee. “We want to smooth it out for the winter,” he said in response to Cr Roger Gordon who noted the road was becoming a real challenge. Hudson said most of the road was built on peat which created issues. The council’s activity management plan worked on the basis that the road needs upgrading every five to seven years. A4 36mm

July date set for trust By Mary Anne Gill
A charitable trust tasked with turning around the fortunes of the Cambridge Town Hall has finally reached an agreement with Waipā District Council more than a year after its formation. The 20-year agreement has a right of renewal for a further 13 years but either party may terminate with two years’ notice. The council’s Finance and Corporate committee ratified the agreement this week. The trust will take over running the Town Hall, the piazza in front leading up to the Cenotaph, the gardens and the car park in Queen Street from July 1. Trust chair Kirsty Johnson said the Town Hall had several major barriers to usage and so the first 12-24 months would involve addressing the issues. Earlier this year, the trust held a strategic planning weekend and invited community groups who contributed “overwhelming feedback.” “The major themes were the kitchen, which is currently not suitable for caterers, seeking a liquor licence to suit the variety of anticipated events, general upgrading and presentation technology such as sound systems, presentation screens and Wi-Fi,” she said. “Trustees are committed to engaging with residents around

the Town Hall’s future. “It’s an iconic local asset and we know the community will have some fantastic ideas around how we can rejuvenate and breathe new life into it.” Activities have now been planned to engage the community
in the activation phase, she said and would involve taking them on a journey to reimagine the Town Hall. Destination Cambridge leases part of the Town Hall for an i-Site and visitor centre. That lease runs till June 30 next year.

The council also has a Town Hall management contract with Destination Cambridge which the trust will take over. Negotiations are underway to extend that contract. Cr Clare St Pierre told the Finance and Corporate committee
it was exciting to see the new model in place for the Town Hall. She asked for clarification around whether the trust would be able to seek external funding. Acting Property Services manager Chris Ryan said that was one of the “great features” of the system put in place by the council. The trust would be able to apply for funding that would not be available to the council, he said. The council allocated $40,000 to the trust for the 2022-2023 fiscal year to go with the $120,000 operating costs and $4.1 million given last year in the Long Term Plan to undertake strengthening and earthquake work. Deputy chief executive Ken Morris said the trust would make a presentation at next month’s Finance and Corporate committee meeting. Highlights of the agreement between council and the trust are: The trust creates a three-yearly ‘Strategic Plan’ to coincide with council’s Long Term Plan cycle and an asset management plan to set out its required works for the Town Hall’s upkeep. It also creates an Annual Statement of Intent to coincide with council’s Annual Plan process. Council funds the trust in accordance with the trust’s Annual Statement of Intent and agreed capital works’ programme. The trust reports twice yearly to council on its performance.

FAITH IN WAIPĀ
AGE OF REASON
Time to elect electric?
Over the weekend our Auckland visiting guests brought with them their brand new all-electric car. Made in China this quietly gliding beast came equipped with so many electrically driven toys that a NASA-styled training almost felt de rigueur. I was permitted to drive this extraordinary vehicle, to watch as it was recharged and to take in the wonders of modern motoring at its strangest. Your mobile phone (which rests during its journey on a charging pad - no plug-in necessary) doubles as the ignition key. Having used the phone to unlock the door (no need to touch the phone), I sat in the driver’s seat and looked for the starter button, only to be gently informed by the proud new lady owner that as soon as I placed my ample posterior onto the seat the engine had started, But I remonstrated that it had not started as I could not hear it. Well, I got that wrong. The supersmart engine was indeed running and all I had to do was to engage the mini gear stick into Drive, the brake would come free and a gentle pressure on the accelerator was all that was needed. This was a short journey to the supermarket – possibly the most carefully I have ever driven, fearful of committing some motoring electronic sin. But it was wonderful. On the madam’s verbal instruction to ‘floor’ it my body sank back into the electronically adjusted seat and I felt like an airline pilot going through V2. Meanwhile a large 10-inch screen like tablet was keeping me informed as to battery charge details, remaining distance to go prior to the next charge and the amount of power still remaining. Once parked the screen turned into a birds-eye photo of the car to show me how close I was – or not – to the nearest obstruction. Now how does a camera (possibly plural) situated at wheel level permit a view from several meters above.? Best not to ask as you would only get a blank stare from me. We plugged it in to one of the two double charging stations on the edge of Victoria square. But it refused to charge until the other vehicle sharing the same charger had completed its

battery top-up. What was really interesting was watching the small screen on the kerbside charger maintain a running tally as to the cost of the charge. This vehicle had left eastern Auckland with a full battery taking just over two hours to reach Cambridge. The battery, fully charged at departure, had dropped to 62 per cent. The top-up back to 90 per cent (I could not understand that bit) cost well under $10. So crude maths tells me that a full ‘tank’ would come to $35 at the Victoria Park commercial (as in make a profit) site. Charging at home is much cheaper. 91 octane petrol hit a record in Auckland the other day at $3.15. Using 50 litres as a tank size that brings the full tank top-up to an eye-watering $157.50. Now I am well aware that the capital cost of a new electric vehicle is high but as my interests are tending towards a hybrid that does not require an electric plug it starts to look very attractive. That apart from wanting to save the planet. Ms Swarbrick and Mr Shaw have a lot going for them in their earnest drive towards reduction of carbon-related planetary damage. While I shake my head at some of their political antics, I do find myself giving serious consideration to dropping the gas guzzler in favour of alternative fuel usage. Politically driven antics to provide very shortterm lollies available (aka the current ‘clean’ car rebate) are merely that. Antics. But we are heading towards a national election, and it is time for the two major parties to come clean on how they see a carbon-reduced future. Starting with vehicles is actually relatively easy. But at the local political level one wonders what gas-guzzlers the local Waipa Council have on their books – not only those used for every-day transport of staff going about their work but to the larger cars provided for the full personal use of senior managers? And the Mayor. This is local body election year. Perhaps Waipa DC - a very honest and relatively open body – could respond with their go-greener plans?
By Murray Smith, Senior Leader, Bridges Church
In August 1963 about 250,000 people gathered at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC for a one-day event that protested racial discrimination and encouraged the passage of civil rights legislation- at the time, the Civil Rights Act was being discussed in Congress. The march featured various speeches as well as musical performances before Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, appeared as the final speaker. As Martin Luther King neared the end of his address, it lacked the impact that characterised his speeches. Evidently Dr King could himself could “sense that he was falling short.” The famous singer Mahalia Jackson called out to him, “tell them the dream.” It was a theme he had used at earlier events but with the singer’s encouragement, he abandoned his notes adopting “the stance of a preacher” to describe his ‘dream.’ The speech struck a chord with the crowd, building to an emotional conclusion taken from a Black spiritual, “Free at last. Free at last. Thank God Almighty, we are free at last.” The “I have a dream” speech is considered by some as the greatest of the 20th century, with the famous words capturing hearts not just in the United States where it helped secure passage of the Civil Rights Act in 1964, but around the globe. Years later in 1994, Nelson Mandela borrowed “free at last” to a standing ovation having become president in the very first election he was allowed to vote in. Throughout history, freedom is something people have struggled for and sought, giving much to acquire. When oppressive, dominant cultures or
influences have crushed the freedoms and rights of others, it is inevitable (and appropriate) that a rising up to contend for fairness, justice and equality should occur. In New Zealand while there are freedoms that would be the envy of other countries, our track record historically, in safeguarding the freedoms and rights of others is quite shameful. Injustices exist. Many remain marginalised. Like the East Coast community in the news this week where a century old government error has effectively locked out mana whenua from their own land with a 999 year lease arrangement. Hopefully this situation, along with many others will find redress. In addition to civil and social freedoms, I believe there is freedom at another level that we must recover! Martin Luther King’s “free at last” has application to each of us individually. I’m talking about the deep need for ‘freedom’ we carry in the core of our being… the place where the real ‘us’ exists… where our emotions and responses reside…that part of us where our feelings, insecurities, attitudes and our personality spring from. Real freedom starts within us…inner freedom from plaguing fears, grief, anger, hatred, unforgiveness, shame, guilt, or inferiority… freedom from captivity to ‘out of control’ desires and appetitesaddictive, compulsive habits that enslave, defile and control. The answers are in Jesus, the most quotable person ever. He put it this way, speaking of Himself, “If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed”. Business showcase
business and clients. Their full suite of mechanical repairs includes diagnostic services for heavy diesel engines, transmissions and braking services, including Cummins, Eaton service ranger and Wabco Pin 2. Constantly upskilling, the mechanics are well versed in truck repairs and keep abreast of the latest industry developments.
A family-owned business going places HTSL Diesel Mechanical (Hobbs Transport Services) has more than brand recognition, it’s a family name that locals trust. Directors Kevin and Cathy Hobbs are well-known around the area having been born and bred in Otorohanga. Their client relationships often merge with personal friendships dating back to school days. Customer loyalty is strong, and most of their bigger clients have been with them since day one. In a small town customer service is more important than ever as owners are operating among their neighbours and friends. The couple don’t take anything for granted. They appreciate the support of locals, value their loyalty, and always strive to deliver a premium service. Cathy and Kevin founded their Otorohanga business in 2003. A qualified mechanic, Kevin had driven a variety of commercial trucks and vehicles for 13 years. He realised there was an opportunity to open a local mechanical business after seeing that all the work was being done out of town, which meant a lot of inconvenience and down-time for drivers and businesses. He and Cathy set
They specialise in diagnostic fault finding, gearbox services and rebuilds, wheel bearings, electrical repairs and upgrades, brake servicing and repairs, general service, PVA and COF checks, and diesel engine rebuilds. HTSL Diesel Mechanical is an authorised Cummins dealer for engine rebuilds.

about remedying the situation when they opened their first workshop at 27 Progress Drive. Over the years they’ve gone from being a husband-and-wife team to employing a staff of around 20 and opening a second workshop at 18 Riverhurst Drive, Te Awamutu. This growth reflects the demand for their services, the repeat business that HTSL generates, and the respect they’ve earned as a grassroots family-run business. HTSL offers a variety of services to a wide
range of heavy vehicle owners and operators. Their state-of-the-art COF lane allows them to carry out COF inspections, pre-COF checks and brake test vehicles from the 3-ton mark up to the largest trucks on the road. Prior to March 2016, local truck owners had to drive between 22-28km to a COF testing site, either in Te Awamutu or Te Kuiti. This meant a staff member was off-site for 2-3 hours. When NZTA allowed independent, qualified inspectors to operate, HTSL leapt at the opportunity. It’s been a huge win win for both
NEW SITE: 18 Riverhurst Drive, Te Awamutu. P 07 870 4100 27 Progress Drive, Otorohanga. P 07 873 6001
Mindful that businesses are usually on a tight timeframe, the team aim to complete the job in a short turn-around as possible. Moreover, in an industry where time off road is money, HTSL always has someone on call. Mobile mechanics and a fleet of fully equipped utes are available 24 hours a day seven days a week. These truck and heavy vehicle mechanics are licensed and experienced professionals with the ability to fix a host of issues and get vehicles back on the road in a timely manner. A specialised career, diesel mechanics is diversified and has a global reach. “It’s a fabulous career for young people,” says Kevin who is always looking to hire apprentices and qualified mechanics. Supportive of nurturing young talent and interest, HTSL Diesel Mechanical currently has six apprentices at different stages of development and with the Te Awamutu workshop growing fast, staffing opportunities are available. The business has everything new employees need to gain experience and be successful.

Election strategy outlined Council keeps Local Government New Zealand has pledged to involve community newspapers in a campaign to attract more candidates and voters to this year’s local body elections. LGNZ announced last week it wanted to make the country the “most inclusive and active local democracy in the world” as it promotes the October local body elections. A statement from LGNZ’s chief executive Susan
Freeman-Greene said a Vote 2022 campaign would be “rolled out across the country via social media, video and radio with the support of communitybased partners”. The statement was not shared with the New Zealand Community Newspapers Association and Good Local Media news director Roy Pilott raised the issue with Freeman-Green. ‘We made the point that in Waipā we circulate 25,000
copies every Thursday and are the only media which provides independent coverage of local body issues, as distinct from cutting and pasting council media releases,” he said. He told her Good Local Media coverage in the Te Awamutu News and Cambridge News of the Māori ward issue and the value of community boards in Waipā was hugely influential – “even though we were for the most part a
More help for Ukraine
A 29-year-old man with Waipā links is helping clean up war-torn Ukraine. Danya Nasuta-Hill’s parents Leanne and Stu Hill live in Cambridge and appealed to The News a fortnight ago on behalf of their son to find out whether there were any other Waikato people in the Ukraine. Danya is in Bucha, near Kyiv, the scene of horrific war crimes where Russian soldiers allegedly massacred civilians. He told Cambridge journalist Lisette Reymer, he walked into the war zone by choice after leaving his building job in Hamilton. “I’m here to help,” the former Morrinsville resident said. His grandfather moved to New Lisette Reymer with Danya Nasuta-Hill, centre, and Ukrainian Zealand from the Ukraine in 1949. contractor Roman Lugovskoy. Photo: Lisette Reymer

lone voice on the issue”. Pilott suggested the advice from communications advisors to do everything on social media was short sighted. FreemanGreene responded almost immediately. “We are totally supportive of community publications – they are very important in our campaign,” she said. “The media referred to in the campaign is just part of what the public will see, so social media etc is not in place of print and community publications but are examples of the general approach going broad.” Freeman-Greene says her organisation want to significantly increase voter and candidate numbers. “This is the bold ambition, and we know it will take more than one election cycle to make lasting changes.”
Waipā District Council says it will maintain online coverage of meetings following questions from The News. Last week’s Te Awamutu Community Board meeting was the first in person since August – but was not livestreamed to the public – though board members could log in remotely - and it was fortuitous that The News had a journalist present. The previous week the council failed to alert The News to the fact that the two-day Annual Plan meeting was being held in person for the first time since the Covid lockdowns. A News reporter was across the road from the council chambers at the time and would have attended. The News asked questions last week when the council indicated two committee meetings would not be livestreamed. Good Local News director Roy Pilott said had that been the case, he would have objected. “We have provided coverage, using Zoom, of virtually every Waipā council meeting and
committee meeting this year – and have been the only media to do so,” he said. “It would have been impossible for us to put staff into council chambers for all of those meetings. Zoom has enabled our readers to be kept up to date.” In a statement released on Friday, council’s governance manager Jo Gread confirmed live streaming would continue – and only the Cambridge Community Board would miss out because it was not possible to broadcast from its present location. The council would look at resolving that issue. In February, Waikato DHB provided The News with Zoom log ins so our reporter could dial into its two committee meetings. Meanwhile, The News is also pushing the Waikato Regional Council to improve its online services around meetings – which are presently shown on a delayed basis if at all. “Decisions made by the regional council have a major impact on Waipā, and we can’t see them live by Zoom,” Pilott said.

A NEW LEASE OF LIFE If an inanimate object could speak, the stately, aged Cambridge Post office would say, “I’m quite happy with my present status.” Twenty five years ago builder Frank Gies purchased the property and carried out extensive renovations, extending the back and completing earthquake requirements. Today the building is a credit to him and to the present innovative owners of Alpino Cucina e Vino, Noel Cimadom, Kim Smythe, and Riccardo Carmanti. Riccardo is the resident owner in Cambridge. Noel and Kim have established similar restaurants in Mt Maunganui and Tauranga. Noel and Riccardo are Italian. In 2014 Noel and Kim established this unique restaurant with a definite Italian menu and interior

telegram stations. I remember all this. We had a box – Box 29 – one of many little red boxes in what was the initial entrance to Alpino. Frank Gies has maintained the authenticity of the building, and the
POST & TELEGRAPH OFFICE
THE TELEGRAM GIRL
Not having a post office in the 1860s would have been similar to not having a mobile phone today. All urgent communications came by post or telegraph. So when Cambridge was established in 1864, a new post office was of major importance to the town. Most of the inhabitants were military men, and the earliest postal and telegraphic business was associated with military movements. Cambridge was served three times a week by a branch mail service performed on horseback by military authorities from the Queen’s Redoubt in Pokeno. Our first postmaster lived in Chapel (now Anzac) Street and his house served as premises. In 1867, business moved to a site in Victoria Street, roughly where the Robert Harris cafe now stands. In 1908, a new post office was built. Aside from the handsome structure, everyone was particularly proud of the clock tower which had taken several weeks to install. The four dials of the clock, seen from north, south, east and west were glazed with white opal glass so that at night they could be seen by gaslight. However, the tower started developing cracks in 1910 and, after much public
TELEGRAMS! Remember those? Kaye Fisher, now in her 70s, was a telegram girl in Cambridge at the age of 14, working in her holidays. Her father was a relieving postmaster in Cambridge. Her Dad, Stan Williams, had a career in this profession. At one stage he delivered The New Zealand Herald to Leamington, as Kaye says, “biffing them out of the window over the top of the car!” I remember the Post Office before everything changed and just in the corner of the entrance to the building was a special phone where people could slip in a coin and make a call or place a call through the person who was on the desk at the time. No mobile phones even in our thoughts. Telegrams sent tragic news, good news, birth news, all sent from one post office to the other in morse code. The message came out in printed strips and were pasted on a form. Telegrams during the Second World War were to be feared as they usually sent a message of missing in action or death. Kaye wore a little leather pouch and as
“The new post office now being erected in Cambridge, Auckland” was the caption for this photograph published in the Auckland Weekly News in 1908. protest, in 1931 the Public Works Department began dismantling it as an earthquake risk. It took much longer than anticipated as the structure proved to be very strong. The chiming clock is now housed in the tower in front of the Town Hall. When the post office opened in 1908, it was during the reign of Edward VII and a grille over the right doorway has his insignia. An extension was completed during Edward VIII’s reign and his insignia was duly installed over the left doorway. As he famously abdicated to marry Mrs Simpson less than a year later, his insignia on buildings are rare. By Karen Payne
owners of Alpino have respected the grace and charm of the original building. Noel and Kim originally used the whole space of the lower floor. Later they altered that space and now have a large function room which holds 30 people. Co-owner and manager Riccardo speaks with pride of the café and the fact that this is one of Cambridge’s most valuable heritage buildings. His family live in Bergami, Italy, and have always been in the restaurant/hospitality trade. Many readers will remember the phone exchange upstairs. Some will have worked in it when they were young, with customers standing at the counter as their letters were franked and collecting mail from the Post Office boxes. Well done Cambridge Post Office. You received the outstanding restaurant award last year and have been listed as one of the best by Cuisine.
soon as a telegram arrived, she whipped out to her bike and was off. The Post Office was hectic. Cards, presents, legal documents – they were all franked by hand on the stamp. The Postmaster handled weddings, deaths and births. Kaye says that she always knew when her Dad was handling a wedding because he would place flowers ina jar on his desk. When she left school, Kaye worked there, using an adding machine to check the tellers’ work. While there she passed her exams as an adding machinist. Everything was, of course, in pounds, shillings and pence. Children had their own bank books and teachers were in charge of banking the money and putting them in these books. I remember doing this as a teacher. The biggest job was the upstairs automatic phone exchange, placing a call with an exchange operator who would put you through to the person you were phoning. The change to automatic phones meant changing all the phone numbers to six digits – a huge frustrating project. Kaye Fisher’s most vivid memory? It was one big happy family of about 25 to 30 employees. By Carole Hughes

TALKING ECONOMICS
Looking at the budget By Peter Nicholl
When I was living in Wellington (last century!!) most people tuned into Radio NZ on budget night - some of us even had budget night parties. The analysis of the budget most people did at that time was largely of the form ‘what’s in it for me?’. I don’t think there will be many budget night parties being held this year. In part that is because the government now makes a stream of policy announcements throughout the year. A recent New Zealand Herald column on the 2022 budget had the headline ‘Robertson’s big dilemma - to spend or not to spend’. In my view, the Minister of Finance doesn’t have a dilemma at all for this year’s budget. With inflation at the highest level it has been for nearly 30 years and unemployment at the lowest level it has been for many years, a big spending budget should be out of the question. Yet the minister has said he intends to allocate an additional $6 billion in annual operating funds in budget. Hopefully, he has rethought that, as a large increase in government expenditure is the last thing New Zealand needs at present. The minister has recently described the current rise in inflation as ‘a spike’ and said he expects it to be on the way down next year when he will do his election year budget. I think he is going to be disappointed. Inflation looks like going higher and staying higher for much longer than a year. The minister has said that the increased spending in this year’s budget will be focused on two areas – health and climate change. They are the right focus and I am sure the Budget will say all the right things about both areas. But the budget needs to

be judged by the actions and policies it contains, not the words. This government has been better at policy statements than policy delivery. So, I will reserve my judgement on what the government proposes to do in these two key areas until I Open hours: Monday - Friday 8am-5pm have seen the details. Some of the things that are unlikely to be in the budget are more important than what will be in it. One such area is taxation. There are two big tax issues which this year’s budget should address. 47 Shakespeare St, PO Box 284, Cambridge 2351 | 07 827 7230 The first is what is called bracket creep. Tax rates don’t change but as people’s service@topgearmotors.co.nz | www.topgearmotors.co.nz incomes rise, they move into a higher tax bracket and the government collects a larger portion of citizen’s income as income tax. In a fair tax system, these brackets would be indexed so that bracket creep is eliminated. But the minister has previously said that there won’t be any move on this issue in this budget. 47 Shakespeare St,47 PO Shakespeare Box 284, Cambridge St, PO Box 2351 284, Cambridg The second major tax issue is the need 07 827With 7230 | Top_Gear@xtra.co.nz 07 827 7230 | Top_Gear@xtra.co.nz for some form of wealth tax.

NO PLANET B
Skirting the issue By Peter Matthews
Hope is lost. I overheard a conversation at home yesterday morning. It went something along the lines of: “Since you’re going to be at home all day could you please keep an eye on the weather and if it rains, bring the washing in?” If there was a reply I didn’t hear it. Arriving home that evening I overheard another conversation: “I hope you brought the washing in.” This time I heard the reply, “What washing?” The following morning I witnessed a direct consequence of this failure of communication. Passing the laundry I noticed the dryer was on and so I looked inside to see the familiar blue pattern of a single Cambridge High School skirt. I don’t remember the number of times I have lamented the lack of foresight which results in a single item of clothing tumbling itself dry in the most uneconomical and environmentally reprehensible way possible. This time I let it go. My resolve weakens with age, as hope of educating these young people seeps away day by day. Hope is restored. I saw an advertisement on TV last night which informed me that the earth can breathe a sigh of relief and we can all relax in the knowledge that Colgate is now producing recyclable toothpaste tubes. That’ll do it. Don’t worry about wind farms, clean energy, sustainable food production, disposable everything, and built-in obsolescence - Colgate have got it sorted. Really, this is greenwashing at its most obvious. A large company paying lip service to sustainability and then spending large amounts of money singing their own praises for saving the planet.

plant based milk bottles. Or NZ Post producing posters of their staff hugging trees as they claim ‘net zero’ postal services by buying offsets which are a cynical con at best. Do these PR and promo departments really think we are all dim enough to be taken in by it? Or have they worked out that nobody cares that much and a ‘warm fuzzy’ advertising campaign may as well be about saving the planet as anything else and they can claim the high ground (safe from rising sea levels) all the while cranking the commercial machine. Hope is ethereal. It all depends on how you look at things. It’s harder to be optimistic when you’re cold and wet in the rain than it is when you relaxing on a summer’s day in a meadow of daisies. Hope is human. Even when presented with incontrovertible evidence to the contrary we humans cling to the hope that we can continue to do all the things that have caused the problems and still look forward to a brighter future. Only humans do that. All other life forms just deal with the present. ONLY PLANET The skirt appeared in due course on its owner, although it seems to have shrunk by more than I would have expected.

The history of our names By Tom Roa, Tikanga Advisor, Waikato University
What’s in a street or even a town name? In a previous column I commented on names and naming, quoting Shakespeare’s ‘A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.’ A poetic narrative that has stood the test of time and resonates now as it did when the Bard first coined the phrase. With personal names, family names I recently asked a group of people I was engaging with whether they knew the origins of their names. Not surprisingly, most did. I then asked if they knew the origins of the names of the town, and the street names, they live in, and/or were born. Again not surprisingly, most did not. Driving along the main street of Te Awamutu, Alexandra Street, how often do we pause to consider the origins of the street name, the name of the township? Te Awamutu I understand was named for the fact that the use by canoes of the Mangapiko River (awa) as a primary highway between the mountains Pirongia and Maungatautari ended (mutu) here. Another story has it that the river (awa) and the region was full of snares (mutu) to trap food. Alexandra street is a pathway to travel primarily in getting from one place to another, or to pause to transact business, or, as I did recently, to listen to a street musician, and drop a koha in his hat. Alexandra St ‘becomes’ Pirongia Street, the main road between Te Awamutu to Pirongia, formerly Alexandra. The township at Alexandra/Pirongia was named in the 1860’s for Queen Victoria’s daughter-in-law Princess Alexandra of Denmark who married Albert Edward Prince of Wales. On Queen Victoria’s passing she became Queen Alexandra, her husband then becoming known as King Edward VII. In the 1960’s, because of the postal confusion with the township of Alexandra near Queenstown,
the local community decided to rename the township Pirongia after the outstanding landmark nearby, Pirongia Mountain. And then, what of other streets which adjoin Alexandra St? There is an excellent page on the Te Awamutu Museum website which explores the origins of Waipā streets. I discovered there that Jackson St was named after William Jackson, an officer in the Forest Rangers who later became a member of the House of Representatives. In the context of re-visiting and reconsidering our past, the names and naming of streets (and towns) is receiving some considerable, and considered, re-thinking. As a historical personage who played a role in our early Pakeha history William Jackson and others of his ilk should be remembered. But then is the naming of a street an effective way of memorialising him? Indeed is the naming of streets an effective way of learning about our history? The history of a place is important. How that history is to be presented can be well-served by story boards or through the Waipā District Council’s ‘Te Ara Wai Journeys’. Using both storyboards and smartphone technology self-guided tours of culturally significant sites throughout the Waipā District promote that learning for locals and visitors/ tourists. The Maori name in full of Mount Pirongia is “Pirongia-te-aroaro-o Kahu”. A politically correct, sensitive, translation of that is sometimes given as ‘the scented presence of Kahu’. The word ‘piro’ however has another less flattering interpretation, whereby the Bard’s smelling of ‘the scented presence of Kahu’ can not be described as ‘sweet’.

Not your average piano By Benjamin Wilson
Before they came with their own soundtracks, Photoplayers were used to give silent movies, previously known as photo plays, their sound. There are only two working Wurlitzer Model K Photoplayers left in the world, and one of them can be found in Pirongia. Piano tuners and restorers Kevin Hanna and Nathan Smith from the Pirongia based Hamilton Piano Company have cumulatively put in over 8000 hours of restoration work to get a 1915 Wurlitzer model K “millimetre perfect.” It weighs more than a metric tonne and can replace a 15-piece orchestra. Photoplayers can be played manually, or automatically, using paper rolls which have the music, and the instruments to use, programmed into them. The Model K uses suction and blow to actuate thousands of valves and pneumatic motors to do this. In addition to its traditional style piano and (not so traditional) organ, the Model K uses pipes to imitate the sounds of other instruments, like violin and cello, and has a range of instruments built in, including cathedral chimes, glockenspiel, xylophone, castanet, flutes, and trumpets. Only 292 Model Ks were ever made, seven of those were exported. New Zealand received one, which was purchased in 1915 by Auckland’s Strand Theatre for $US4850. It played until it went into storage in 1948 and was later stripped for parts. In the 1960s, it was acquired by collector Pat Newman, who kept it in in storage for over 50 years. The water damaged remains were discovered in a garden shed after Pat
died in 2010, along with over one million (now invalid) dollars. “As soon as movies came out with their own soundtracks, these were literally just boarded over… at the time, they didn’t know that these were going to become obsolete and collectable,” Smith said. Shortly after it was rediscovered, the Opotiki Photoplayer Restoration Trust approached Hanna and Smith - who each have over 15 years of restoration experience to restore the Model K’s centre unit. The Photoplayer was deemed to be of national historic significance by a conservator, and received funding from the Lottery Environment and Heritage Fund. To understand how the Model K worked, and how to restore it accurately, the pair made three trips to Chicago and spent 100 hours each taking sketches and tracings of what was the world’s last functioning Model K, owned by the Sanfilippo Foundation. They managed to source original instruments from other scrapped Wurlitzers for the project, and recreated the cabinetry, motors, and valves by themselves. The Model K is now fully functional, and with the exception of some decorative facades, their restoration work is complete. It was supposed to go to the proposed Wellington Film Museum, but this has since
been put on hold. “In the meantime, we are going to have to plan as if it is going to stay,” Smith said.
There is only one other functional Wurlitzer Model K left in the world.

Unity’s golden trip to Hokitika By Viv Posselt
Waipā para cyclist Unity Collins has become a national champion after winning gold at the Age Group Road Racing National Championships in Hokitika. The gutsy 27-year-old, who rides with the Morrinsville Wheelers Cycling Club, took gold in the BVI (tandem) road race. Riding as her pilot was Vicki Fleming, a Cambridge-based coach and rider with whom she has paired since March 2021. By chance, second place went to fellow Morrinsville Wheelers’ Steve Donelley, who was paired with Vicki’s husband Mark Fleming. Unity pulled out all stops in Hokitika. She also took bronze in her time trial event, making for a successful weekend that has inspired her to push further still. “I am very keen to take it further. I want to take the next step up… it might mean riding offshore. Vicki knows me well, she knows what I’m capable of. She’ll look at the schedule and let me know what goal I need to be aiming for,”
Unity said, during a break in her regular dog-walking activities in Te Awamutu. Vicki said Unity’s level of commitment to training and her work ethic made her a delight to work with. “We know each other really well. Unity was a great swimmer before she decided to take up riding. In the three years since she has shown herself to be very capable. The gains she has made already are huge. “We’ll look at doing some ablebodied cycling over the winter and there are more time trials coming, but she needs more exposure to move her from her current position as a community rider to the development programme – ideally, she needs to go offshore for that.” Unity trains with Vicki at the velodrome in Cambridge and does some road training with her dad, Ross Collins, who has been with her every step of the way. The dad and daughter duo have done a lot together over the past few years, including the Tough Guy and Gal Challenge.
Powering to the finish line in Hokitika are sight impaired Unity Collins (rear) and Vicki Fleming.
Unity has also competed at various other events, and works with a personal trainer who helps maintain and build strength in her legs.
She said: “Vicki trains me quite hard … but she has a way about her that means I get the best out of it.” When not training or competing,
Unity is walking her clients’ dogs, going to guitar or ukulele lessons, or strumming the latter at club evenings both in Te Awamutu and Cambridge.

How hockey suited Nick By Steph Bell-Jenkins
“You can’t be serious,” says Nick Goodwin as The News suggests the whole town needs to know about the lengths he went to for his hockey team on Friday night. Being a kind and generous man, he acquiesces. Nick gives up many voluntary hours to coach school sports teams and this winter he took on his son Theo’s 13th grade hockey team, the Leamington Slick Sticks. “At our first practice we were talking about our favourite memories from the last season and one of the boys said that he enjoyed playing against a team with a coach who he thought was funny for wearing a suit and then berating his players wildly when they lost the game,” he explained. “So, I said if they could win by 20 clear points then I would wear a suit for the next game.” Unfortunately, the incentive worked too well and the Slick Sticks thrashed the Maeroa Strikers 23-0 in their first game of the season on May 6. “I was a little bit sorry for the other team...but the players seemed to not be too despondent, so that’s good, and I was also pleased that our team kept their intensity going and they
wanted to play hard,” Nick said. “I think that’s the best way to respect your opposition.” A picture of sartorial elegance as he dashed around the turf umpiring in a fetching black suit and striped tie last Friday night, he said trading his usual shorts, thermals and sneakers for formal attire had not been enjoyable. “I actually felt that I didn’t have as good a relationship with the other team as I usually would,” he said. “I think they maybe thought I was a bit self-important.” Did it earn him more respect from his players? “No, definitely not.” His team still performed well though, beating Matamata Kikorangi 16-0. Nick said he had last worn the suit while working for the Ministry of Health in Wellington more than five years ago. Now an associate pastor at Raleigh Street Christian Centre who works mainly with students and staff at the University of Waikato, he is pleased his job doesn’t require a suit. “That would be horrifying,” he said. Nick is now working on a new incentive to keep his team motivated for the rest of the season. One parent’s suggestion that he could wear a clown suit next time appears to have been ignored.

Honours go to Central
Friendly competition was rife when Cambridge’s two lawn bowling clubs competed for the honour of winning the Elite Building Compliance Trophy last week. It was Cambridge’s turn to host and defend its two previous consecutive wins but it was Central Cambridge that came home the winner 14-10 after being down 5-7 at the lunch break. The format saw four 75-minute games of two bowl triples (18 players from each club) fighting it out with friendly banter and a variety of skills and luck, all to the backdrop of foot-tapping music. Don and Audrey Harris, owners of Elite Building Compliance Ltd and staunch members of the Cambridge club, presented the trophy to the lawn bowling fraternity of Cambridge in 2008 and have competed in the annual event throughout that time.

Electric heat pump systems are becoming increasingly popular because they do not rely on fossil fuels to produce warm and cold air. A benefit of investing in an air-source heat pump is that you will utilize less electricity or natural gas when compared to other types of systems. Purchasing a heat pump will help reduce the amount of greenhouse gasses that are released into the environment each year. Choosing the right sized heat pump is important to ensure optimum comfort levels, particularly when outdoor temperatures drop. Location, room size, and insulation levels in a room are all factors that determine
CAMBRIDGE NEWS | 19
which heat pump size should be installed. Outdoor ambient conditions in winter also play a big role in unit size selection. When temperatures drop, the output capacity of the heat pump also drops. It’s extremely important, therefore, that units are not undersized in low ambient conditions. Getting the right advice is critical. With 60+ years’ experience dealing with Waikato winters and summers, customers can rest assured that the team at Pratts are well schooled to advise the ideal heating and cooling solution for your home, farm building or commercial premises.

Demand for heat pumps surging The demand for heat pumps has surged significantly over recent years. This is largely due to their high energy efficiency ratings, their easy use, and environmentally friendly benefits. Most have excellent climate control capabilities and can be used to provide space cooling by simply reversing the process of space heating. A heat pump can heat one room, or many rooms depending on the system. In terms of providing yearround comfort, they’re hard to beat. Heat pumps come as highwall units, floor consoles, ceiling cassettes, and as ducted or multi-split systems. Although highwall units have dominated the market, evolving technology and innovation gives consumers increasingly better options. If a highwall unit is not going to work, then a floor console might be a good alternative. They’re ideal in homes with tall windows and are an excellent replacement for an open fire, log burner or fixed gas heater. If aesthetics are important, a ceiling cassette heat pump could be the answer. Installed in the ceiling cavity, they don’t
take up valuable wall or floor space, and have a discreet presence. They’re capable of distributing warm and cool air evenly through a room and are a great choice for homes and office buildings, retail space, or commercial premises, In environments where humidity and moisture control are an issue, a ducted heat pump system will deliver more airflow throughout a home, which helps maintain freshness and avoid stagnant air. The system is easy to operate as the temperature for the whole house is controlled from one central unit. Multi split heat pumps are another excellent option as they can heat or cool multiple rooms using only one outdoor unit connected to multiple indoor units. Each indoor unit can also be individually controlled, which is a great advantage. Check the energy ratings and ensure your unit or system is installed by a qualified tradesperson.

Package come with showers It was a fate that on the day a support package was announced for Waikato because of drought conditions it rained in Waipā and forecasters were predicting a lot more to come during the week. Drought conditions affecting the primary sector in Waikato and South Auckland were classified on Monday as a mediumscale adverse event – opening the door to a package of support for farmers and growers. “This is recognition that a severe dry spell over the autumn months is taking its toll on the region’s primary sector and additional
support is needed,” MPI’s director of Rural Communities and Farming Support Nick Story said. “The lack of any consistent rainfall since the beginning of the year means dry conditions in the region have reached the point where assistance is needed to help the rural community get through.” This week’s rain will have encouraged some green shoots, but it’s come after a long dry spell. “Farmers in these districts have been closely monitoring the situation and making early decisions about stock levels, culling

This week’s Maungatautari Reserve Committee heard at its quarterly meeting 18 pests had been caught in traps in the January to March period. Mice were detected in the northern, Tautari wetland and QE2 enclosures, rats were detected on tracking cards or camera and trapped at various points and two possums had taken poison bait. There had also been 15 “fence breaches” in that time. More native species than introduced pests are making their home on the maunga.

The adverse event classification was made by the Minister of Agriculture Damien O’Connor following a request from primary sector organisations in the region.

Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari is chasing almost $680,000 of funding towards the modification of its predator proof fence to pave the way for kākāpō to be moved onto to the mountain. It is hoped as many as 10 could be moved there by the end of the year. “As soon as funds have been secured, the fence modification will start. This will take 10 staff/contractors 47 days to complete,” Lyons said in his report. Sanctuary Mountain will also start receiving birds from the North Island Kaka captive breeding programme, while the count of titipounamu – the rifleman – has reached about 60.

If you live in a neighbouring area and have spare feed, listing with the service will help those caught short,” Nick Story said. “I encourage farmers to seek professional advice from the Rural Support Trust, DairyNZ, Beef and Lamb New Zealand and their business advisers who can provide information about managing dry conditions,” Nick Story said.

Recently, as many of you know, the Waikato Regional Council took the very difficult decision to replace our chair. Not one councillor would have found this an easy decision to take and indeed there were strongly held views expressed on both sides of the debate. I know that both Stu Kneebone and I as your representatives were torn by the enormity and complexity of the decision and listened carefully to all the views of our colleagues. Good governance is about determining purpose, developing an effective governance culture, holding executives and governors to account and finally effective compliance. It is my opinion that the council has developed a good working culture and will hold people to account and have demonstrated that throughout this term. There are some who would like you to believe this decision was about Three Waters, as it serves their political agendas. Let me assure you that is not the case. Three Waters refers to district councils’ infrastructure for the delivery of drinking water, and the disposal of storm water and wastewater. This infrastructure is owned and operated by district councils. It is not the regional council’s business, and never has been. This is about trust and confidence in the chair. The chair has a responsibility to set an effective tone from the top down and establish an inclusive governance culture that encourages all councillors to work to their best. As a customer focused organisation, WRC needs a chair who can foster good relationships with our stakeholders, and fairly represent the views of the council.

Many will have taken note of the fact that the new chair Barry Quayle was nominated by Russ Rimmington and seconded by Stu Kneebone. This is significant. Choosing a new chair who is respected by both sides of the debate is sending a strong message. It is evidence of a council that has recognised change is needed, to enable making good quality consensus decisions for the region. I want to recognise and thank Russ Rimmington for the huge contribution he has made to local body politics over a number of years. I have been quoted and stand by my comments that Russ has taught me a few skills and can always be relied on for some friendly banter. It’s also appropriate to thank Barry Quayle for agreeing to accept the chair’s role for the remaining short period of the term. WRC acknowledges the importance of good governance and is able to debate difficult and complex issues and come to a consensus. As your constituent councillors, we felt it important to respectfully share some of our views and reasoning behind this recent council decision. On another note, as mentioned last month, WRC is holding a series of one-day water workshops around the region before we make changes to our Waikato Regional Policy Statement and Waikato Regional Plan, to align with new central government directions. You can register for a workshop on the Waikato Regional Council website.
