Tea without Marg
Mary Anne Gill talks to whānau and family and tells the story of Margaret Evelyn, a victim of last week’s storm in Cambridge, which claimed two octogenarians.
Margaret Evelyn was on her way back from a regular workout at the gym and walking towards her Queen Street home in Cambridge shortly before 10am on Friday when the freakish winds hit. She sought shelter at a picnic table in Victoria Square under an 80-year-old pin oak tree – ironically about the same age as Marg - which seconds later was uprooted and fell on her. For 45 minutes Cambridge volunteer firefighters, police and passers-by helped to shift the giant tree’s foliage covering the retired social worker. A woman from a nearby café sat comforting Marg and later reassured the family she was very calm, answered all the questions being asked of her and was aware of everything that was happening. But soon after noon in Waikato Hospital her heart stopped. Doctors could do no more for the energetic grandmother who always insisted she did not want a funeral service – just an afternoon tea “without Marg”. Her youngest son Kristen Hapi, who lives in Hamilton, got a call from police about 10.30am to say his mother had been in an accident. Her close friend and neighbour Penny travelled in the ambulance with Marg to Waikato Hospital where Kristen soon joined them. Medical staff quickly assessed her and told him his mother had no head injuries, but they were going to get some CT scans and he could go and pick some items up for her. Although she was heavily drugged for the pain, medical staff said she could hear him. “So, I gave her a hug and I said, ‘I love you Mum, I’ll be back in an hour’ but half an hour after I left, I got a call ‘you’ve got to come back now’ and when I got there, they
said her heart had stopped and they’d done all they could.” That was at 12.30pm. The fit and feisty 81-year-old mother of three and grandmother of three had died, the victim of an accident in the Town of Trees, the town where she settled nine years ago after a working life helping young people and advocating for her three children. Kristen told The News on Tuesday that his cousin from Auckland was right when he arrived at the hospital and said to him: “The tree didn’t kill your Mum. The wind killed her and the tree.” “They were two 80-year-olds going out large,” said Kristen. “Mum loved trees; she wouldn’t have blamed the tree. Her number was up. Here’s the thing I know, she would not have wanted to be sitting in a wheelchair with pins in her. She would have said ‘stuff that, thank you and goodnight’.” She was born Margaret Evelyn Freundlich on July 26, 1940 in New Plymouth, the daughter of Jewish Austrians who escaped the holocaust and settled in New Zealand. She grew up in Taupo, ditched the surname in favour of her middle name and went on to train as a primary school teacher. She learned Te Reo at Waikato University so she could stand up for the rights of her three Māori sons. She went on to become one of the country’s first bi-lingual teachers at Rakaumanga Kura Kaupapa Māori. Long-time friend Sue Duignan of Cambridge said Margaret was passionate about young people’s rights. She moved to the Children and Young Person’s service (now Oranga Tamariki) in the late 1980s working in Huntly and then as a community liaison social worker.

Cyber bullying gets physical The Violence Free Waipā team took to Cambridge’s streets last Friday to mark Pink Shirt Day, an annual event held to quell rising levels of bullying. New Zealand has supported Pink Shirt Day since 2009, following the international movement that began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against bullying after a peer was harassed for wearing
pink. Violence Free Waipā coordinator Ruth Nicholls said that in July 2021 a Cambridge teenager was rushed to hospital in a serious condition after a school fight that stemmed from bullying. “The student was attacked by several boys in the stairwell of one of our local schools,” she said. “The student then spent

several nights in hospital after being knocked unconscious in the fight, which was investigated by police.” Ruth said teachers she had spoken to throughout Waipā have noticed a sharp rise in bullying since students returned to school. “They think that this is a result of cyber bullying while the students were studying from home in isolation.” She said the online resource for families, Kidspot NZ, said 94 percent of New Zealand teachers said bullying occurs at their school, with 46 percent believing cyber bullying occurs mainly between the ages of 11 to 14. The site also claimed that around 45 percent of teachers and staff said verbal and social bullying was brought to their attention once a week, while 25 percent heard of physical bullying once a week. The youth health services organisation Youthline reported that bullying often comes up in calls from young people, Ruth added, either as victims or as people who are concerned about someone else who has been bullied. Part of the annual anti-
bullying Pink Shirt Day initiative is to wear pink or to dress workplace frontages in pink. Ruth said she was overwhelmed at the number of shops in Cambridge supporting the initiative, either with staff dressing in pink or by decorating their window fronts, this year. “The best effort prize is going to Spark who went above and beyond with everyone dressed in pink, the shop and window decorated in pink, and even a note with a chocolate bar with information on how to spread kindness,” she said. A sausage sizzle also took place in front of Cambridge Community House (CCH), aimed at raising awareness around the effects of bullying. “Our whare strongly supports the key message from Pink Shirt Day – that by celebrating diversity, promoting inclusiveness and showing aroha we can collectively work to stop bullying,” CCH manager Gabby Byrne said. “We want Cambridge to be a place where all whanau can feel respected, safe and valued. Pink Shirt Day allows us to speak up and be part of this impactful movement.”

This week we have had another tragedy; the death of a community member from a falling tree. My thoughts go out to family and friends and those who were present. I know these sentiments are shared by many of you. Such events can have a big impact on us, especially for those directly involved. Victim Support provides a free support service for people affected by trauma and crime. This includes those people directly affected, members of their family and witnesses to an incident or first on scene. If you feel you need support following a traumatic incident or crime, call them on 0800 842 846. We are indeed a town that cares, and this is demonstrated in many ways. Did you know we have a diligent band of volunteers who act as extra eyes and ears around town in the evenings? They patrol in a sign written ute and liaise with Police around crime prevention, assisting with such things as proactive patrolling, monitoring for suspicious vehicles, alerting shopkeepers to
insecure premises and more. Each patroller goes through vetting and training before going out on patrol and I am appreciative of their dedication and community spirit. If you are interested in volunteering your time, contact info@safercambridge.co.nz in the first instance. At the Safer Cambridge website (www. safercambridge.co.nz) you will also find information about our Cambridge Neighbourhood Support. Getting to know your neighbours has many advantages. It provides social networks and added security, opening as it does lines of communication when anything suspicious happens. Being part of a registered Neighbourhood Support Group connects you in with a wider network, providing information on crime prevention and local issues when they arise. Eileen Hawkins is the NSG Community Engagement Officer here in Cambridge. You will find her in her office at the Community Pavilion at Victoria Square or on the email above. To register your interest in becoming
part of a group, get in touch. One other topic I wish to address is mental health. As you know, informing police on 111 at the time an event is happening is key. A mental health crisis occurs when a person’s thoughts, feelings and actions put themselves in danger of injuring themselves. Where someone you know is in mental health crisis, I encourage you to act promptly to reach out for professional support. You can phone the Crisis Assessment and Home Team 24 hours, 7 days on 0800 505050. They are there to provide support, assessment and advice. If the person is acting in a disordered way and their behaviour indicates immediate actual or threatened harm to themselves, you or others, I encourage you to call 111 straight away to ensure help arrives before things escalate. Have a good week and stay safe.

Wooing halls of fame By Mary Anne Gill
The Home of Cycling Trust has revealed plans for Cambridge’s Velodrome to be the venue for three sporting halls of fame. One, the Māori sports halls of fame already has the support of Māori king Tūheitia Paki and the second, a racing equivalent, has the backing of the New Zealand thoroughbred industry. Both are currently virtual. The main one, the New Zealand Sports Hall of Fame has been at the Dunedin Railway Station since 1999 and is looking for a bigger home. Home of Cycling Trust chair Graeme Maw told The News the Velodrome was the preferred candidate for the New Zealand Sports Hall of Fame beating out bids from Auckland, Christchurch and Invercargill. The major barrier to confirming the move is securing one-off funding from Waipā District Council of $750,000. The support was not so much about the money, he said, but more a signal to other backers that Waipā was the right place to celebrate New Zealand’s sporting and creative success. Having council support now was as significant as the decision in May 2011 by Waipā councillors to grant the Home of Cycling Trust $1 million towards a joint bid to establish the national cycling centre of excellence in Cambridge. The mayor back then was Alan Livingston who is today part of the project team working to bring the Sports Hall of Fame from Dunedin

to Waipā. “This is the right place for it – we truly are the Home of Champions,” he said. The Velodrome, built for $32 million and now valued at $62 million, went onto become a profitable venture which prior to Covid was attracting 60,000 users a year and now only has a debt of $1.8 million. The trust is today in expansion mode and looking to extend the office and administration footprint at the Velodrome to attract new tenants and house the Sporting Hall of Fame. That development, expected to cost $7-$8 million, would be funded
by borrowings and not Waipā ratepayers, said Maw. New Zealand Sports Hall of Fame chair Stuart McLauchlan, said his trustees were heartened by the work going on to bring the hall from Dunedin to Cambridge. “The Hall chose the Home of Cycling venue from other applicants and our decision has been vindicated,” McLauchlan said. “While there is still much work to do, the signs are encouraging.” Maw first came to Cambridge in 2012 after he was appointed Triathlon New Zealand’s high performance director and asked to find a new base for the sport.
A ticket sold at Four Square Matangi won its owner $9 million last weekend. The winner collected an $8 million Powerball First Division and $1 million Lotto First Division winning. It is the seventh time Powerball has been struck this year.
Commuter bonus
The opening of the SH21 underpass at Tamahere has made it possible for people to commute from Cambridge to Hamilton by e-bike and some are, Waka Kotahi New Zealand Transport Agency Regional Relationships director David Speirs told Waikato Regional Council’s Regional Transport committee last week.
A routine traffic stop yesterday sparked a vehicle search as three police cars surrounded a car in Central Cambridge. A police spokesperson said the car was being driven by a suspended driver and a check inside the car uncovered drugs, drug paraphernalia and cash.
He looked all around New Zealand hoping to find a community passionate about sport and having a culture of inclusiveness for athletes. The former British Triathlon high performance director arrived in Cambridge on his own with a bicycle on the roof. At his motel, the owners noticed the bike and put Maw in touch with people he could go cycling with while he was staying. Those contacts proved invaluable and convinced Maw, Cambridge was the right place for triathlon’s headquarters. It offered excellent training in all three disciplines of swimming, cycling and running and had outstanding high performance culture ringing through its community, he said at the time. His view has not changed despite the damning report released a fortnight ago which took issue with the centralised Cycling New Zealand model based in Cambridge. While the criticism was unhelpful, it had not deterred the Home of Cycling Trust’s bid for the Sports Hall of Fame, he said. Waipā District Council declined the trust’s application for $750,000 through its Annual Plan process earlier this month and told the trust it could come back in a year after it consulted with the community. Maw said he and the trust had taken that on board and would embark on a campaign to engage with groups such as the Chambers of Commerce, Rotary, Lions, schools and sports’ organisations.

Tea without Marg In a message to current Oranga Tamariki staff, a spokesperson said Margaret was principled, uncompromising and persistent when it came to advocating for the rights of tamariki and whānau. She had a great command of language and was never stuck for words or afraid to express an opinion. Carol Havill, her team leader in Hamilton, said Margaret was very good at her job but could sometimes be a proper thorn in the side of her managers. Because she spoke fluent Māori she could go anywhere and front up to people. “She was always interested in making sure the children were looked after. That’s what she was always about. Everything was black and white with Margaret and the children were always right.” After Margaret divorced her sons’ father, she lived in Raglan. “From the time she became single again, she became fiercely independent,” said Kristen. He and his brothers Brett and Campbell are all talented musicians, and Margaret loved nothing more than going to see them at gigs. When she sold her house in Raglan a decade ago, Margaret stayed with Sue and her husband Richard Edge in Cambridge until she found the two-bedroom house in Queen Street she was heading home to on Friday to catch up with a friend who was waiting there for her. “Marg had a strong network
of friends that she kept in contact with,” said Sue. “She was a great reader and movie-goer who loved to debate the messages portrayed and how they related to society. She cared about human rights. “She was a critic and letterwriter about advertising or any media that showed bias.” A health and wellness fanatic, Marg went to the Anytime Fitness gym most days calling it her “happy place.” She swam regularly too at the Cambridge pool usually walking there and around Lake Te Koo Utu shaming Kristen more than once by walking briskly up the paths back into town. “Her active and interested outlook made her seem so much younger than her 81 years,” said Sue. “Margaret’s world view and philosophy gave her a strong standpoint to comment on the world. When her own concerns stood out, she would say things like ‘it’s nothing at all. I don’t live in Ukraine’,” said Sue. A stickler for her own appearance, she would not go out if her hair was not right, always managed to make time for a pedicure and dressed stylishly. She was a staunch feminist, antiracist, atheist, LBGT community ally and a defender of end-of-life rights. Margaret wanted no fuss for her farewell. She left strict instructions

for after she died – there was to be no embalming, she was cremated in a no frills’ box yesterday (Wednesday) and the ashes put in a basic urn. “Do what you like with the ashes,” she said in a note left for her family. She also did not want a funeral
service and instead wants an afternoon tea “without Marg” in Cambridge later for friends and family. A blessing was held at the site on Sunday led by Ngāti Koroki Kahukura. Deputy mayor Liz Stolwyk attended and told The
News the oak tree would be milled and a memorial using timber from it would be erected alongside the heritage shed. A new tree would be planted in memory of Margaret Evelyn. “She would be honoured by that,” said Kristen.

Vaccine team on the road By Mary Anne Gill
Herawana Tupaea is back on the road again with a mobile vaccination team hoping to prevent Waipā residents from getting influenza, measles and whooping cough. The Waikato District Health Board vaccine kaimanāki (team lead) knows the district well – her whānau is from Cambridge, and she lives in Kihikihi. Plus, for the last year she has been on the road with the Covid 19 vaccination team. “We’ve got to keep looking after our people – we’re doing this for our kaupapa,” she said. Tupaea and the vaccination team were in Kihikihi last week and at Mangatoatoa Pa in Tokanui up to today (Thursday). Tomorrow they are back in Kihikihi at the Rugby Sports Club. As part of an immunisation catch-up across the Waikato, the team will go where people need vaccinations and are unable to travel to the main centres So that will mean the mobiles will park near schools and halls. Alongside that mobile push, Waikato DHB has started a measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccination telephone campaign for parents of 3-5 year olds who are now overdue for their second MMR vaccination. Immunisation records for the Waikato show that there are about 6500 children aged 3-5 who are due their second MMR and about 1400 children aged 3-5 who have missed both MMR vaccinations. Two-thirds of those who have missed both MMR doses are on record as having declined the vaccination. Vaccinators can check on children’s immunisation status at the mobile clinics. Meanwhile flu has been absent from New
Zealand for two years while the border has been closed but public health experts say it is here now and needs to be taken seriously. Experts agree that, as there has been no influenza or measles in the country recently, the natural immunity of much of the population will be down, which increases the risk of a particularly bad flu season and
measles. All cases of measles seen in New Zealand are the result of non-immune people bringing the virus into the country from overseas. The 2019 measles outbreak infected more than 2000 people, and 700 required hospital care. Māori and Pacific communities the most affected.
Dr Richard Vipond, Medical Officer of Health, Waikato Public Health Unit said vulnerable populations were most at risk. “Disease outbreaks can have serious consequences for families and communities. Those who are not immunised, whether that’s by choice or other circumstances, are worst affected by these outbreaks.”

Speed dates, barbecues a winner
The Waipā council communications’ team took out the major prize at the public relations annual award last week for its entry encouraging residents to get involved in the council’s Long Term Plan. Charlotte FitzPatrick, Regan Schoultz, Natalia Pepperell, Karen Cousins, Claire Culph and Amber Diprose flipped a routine legislative consultative process on its head and embarked on 17 months of targeted, innovative community relations work, judges for the Public Relations Institute of Awards (Prinz) said. ‘What’s next Waipā?’ inspired residents to share their needs and wants for their district. The campaign also won gold in the Community Relations and Engagement category. FitzPatrick was Communications and Engagement manager at the time and now owns her own Cambridge-based public relations consultancy Belle PR. Schoultz is now a communications consultant at Beca. PRINZ Awards chief judges, Denise Mackay and Andrew Pirie said this was a creative two-way communication programme that resulted in record engagement for Waipā. “When tasked with managing public consultation on a council’s long-term plan, many communications practitioners would be tempted to just “go

through the motions” with a conventional approach.” The judges were impressed at the innovative yet highly disciplined way the Waipā District Council team sought to address a well-known national issue – getting the community engaged in local government planning.
They mentioned the depth of planning involved to reach hardto-engage community segments, as well as the detailed focus on results – even down to measuring the numbers of ice creams and sausages the community consumed as indicators of engagement. The PRINZ Awards
recognise excellence in the New Zealand’s public relations and communications industry, promoting continuous improvement, and celebrating best practice. Waipā District Council chief executive Garry Dyet said the awards showcased a council
commitment to inviting the community to be involved early in complex and long-term discussions. “We started our long-term plan journey in March 2020 with community BBQs to gather our community’s thoughts on their vision and strategic priorities for the district,” he said. “Then in 2021, we held lots of community events, including coffee with the mayor, speed dating with the councillors and drop-in sessions to truly connect with our community in ways that really resonated with our residents. It was a lot of effort, involving a lot of people across the organisation. “Having meaningful engagement with our community shapes the way Waipā moves forward and our communications and engagement team created the opportunities for many of those conversations. I’m very proud of this award, it is well deserved.” Supreme Award: Winner: Belle PR, Beca and Waipā District Council, – What’s next Waipā?

Why this Art Course is so Successful. Especially Designed for Beginners.
Although there are many good art courses available, most are intimidating for the outright beginner. They need somewhere safe and supportive to learn and gain confidence. The Seasons method of teaching takes you from the basics up to an intermediate level. The tutors are extremely supportive, and everyone is encouraged to follow their own style of expression. The success is down to the professional quality of the curriculum, nothing has been left to chance and the students get real value, fantastic learning as well as a fun, sociable experience. The other thing we focus on is the value of time, it seems that most other classes run for 1-2 hours and for 8-10 weeks. We prefer that our students have time to settle in and so we make sure our classes are 3 hours, with refreshments, and run for 14 sessions so that students can really take time to explore their newfound skills.
Imagine the delight when you present your loved ones with personal portraits, or the pleasure of capturing your pet’s image on canvas. One thing is for sure, your friends and family will be amazed and delighted at what you’ve achieved.

FAITH IN WAIPĀ
Looking at our names By Murray Smith, Senior Leader, Bridges Church
Growing up with the surname ‘Smith’ didn’t help me feel very special. I mean there’s just so many of us. Growing past adolescent insecurity, inferiority and identity battles, having a common name still proved to have its drawbacks. Pastoral visiting at Corrections Facilities has been something I’ve often done, but one particular time I was apprehended at the gates. My name had been ‘flagged’ and I was barred from visiting because I’d been dishonest about an apparent “criminal record” My protests over an obvious ‘error’ and requests for more information, went unheeded. I drove away mystified and eager to get to the police station, as advised, to sort things out! A ‘Murray Smith’ had been prosecuted for drunk driving 35 years earlier in another New Zealand… records revealed over 20 prosecutions of different people ‘sharing’ my name occurred just in a year, in that one region. Somehow a computer glitch had connected my identity, and personal details to some random with the same ‘handle’ who’d been prosecuted in court for drunk driving, resulting in disqualification. His misdemeanours had been attributed to me. The process to expunge the record and clear my name took ages. The names we carry often originate from the work our forebears did. A carpenter might be called John Carpenter and because sons often followed their father’s occupation, the surname stuck. A surname like “Smith” ties back to a variety of trades -blacksmiths, tinsmiths, goldsmiths, silversmiths and don’t necessarily imply any family relationship. Familial surnames convey the trade they originated from…Potter, Cooper, Mason, Tailor (Taylor), Weaver, Dyer, Thatcher,
Miller, Baker, Spicer, Cook, Fisher, Shepherd, Skinner, Gardener…the list goes on. A Wheeler is another name for a wheelwright. A Hooper made hoops for barrels. A Sawyer was one who sawed logs. A Turner turned wood on a lathe for furniture or wooden bowls. These ‘trade’ names, unlike Māori names, convey little about the individual, beyond their work… nothing about character, personality or history. It seems to me that how we live our lives ought to identify and define us - more than our profession. Another name people historically claimed and identified with is the name ‘Christian.’ It was originally the ‘badge’ of someone who was an authentic Christ follower. Sadly, under the “Christian” banner, people waged wars, fuelled bigotry, oppressed the innocent and marginalised the weak. Their deeds testify to their hypocrisy. They had no right whatsoever to claim that name. An authentic Christian’s life puts on display evidence of a transformed life made possible by relationship with Christ. It’s about following Jesus and seeking to echo His example - not merely adopting religious behaviour. Jesus’ greatest difficulties were with the religious crowd, and He exposed the shortfalls in their focus of outward appearances rather than inward reality and truth. Today the reason there is widespread confusion about what it really means to be a Christian is because the term has been tarnished with many claimants possessing the talk, but being short on the walk. Just don’t forget, wherever there’s a counterfeit, the ‘genuine’ article exists.

Musician heads for States By Viv Posselt
America’s gain will be New Zealand’s loss when organist, collaborative pianist and choral conductor Eon Malan leaves. In his two years here, the South-African born musician has made an impact, not only at St Andrew’s Church where his popular ‘Music in Sacred Spaces’ monthly lunchtime concerts have recalibrated the way people view organ music, but also across the country. His talent, and the programmes he established to make church music more accessible, have been noticed well beyond Cambridge. Early next month, Eon takes up his new role as director of music and organist at the Park Road
Baptist Church in Charlotte, North Carolina, where he will steer an active musical ministry including adult and children’s choirs, and a handbell choir. In 2019, he spent six months there on an exchange bursary to the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, combining it with an internship with a Presbyterian Church. More recently he had been rebranding a music school in Vermont, and it was via a connection there that the job in Charlotte materialised. “I fell in love with the place,” he said. “They made me an offer I could not resist. The reality is that New Zealand is simply too small for me to make a long-term living out of church music.” Eon, born to musician parents, started his ‘Music
MORTGAGE MATTERS
Free Up Your Cashflow
By Gavin Lynch – Yes Mortgages
Struggling with high interest rates on short term debts such as hire purchases, credit cards or personal loans?? THEN MAYBE YOU SHOULD CONSIDER DEBT CONSOLIDATION. What is debt consolidation? It’s the combining of several short term debts incurring high interest rates into one loan at a lower rate of interest. Who should consider debt consolidation? If you own your own home you can consolidate your short term debts into one loan by taking out a new mortgage against your house which is sufficient to pay off all the smaller debts. Remember - the cheapest money you can borrow is generally housing interest rates with your mortgage. What are the benefits of debt consolidation? You have only one repayment each month. You have to meet the repayment criteria of only one lender - your bank. Your overall interest rate will be lower - compare 4.25% on your mortgage with up to 22% on your credit card debt. The length of your term can be structured to suit your needs. Let me give you an example:A short term debt of $30,000 made up of two hire purchases, two credit cards and a personal loan may cost $1,200 per month in repayments. Consolidate this debt into a home mortgage and the repayments will come down to approx $180 per month over a 30 year term. Pay $580 per month over a five year term and the repayments are reduced by more than half and the $30,000 debt can be paid off in full in five years! If you would like to talk about consolidating debt, please call me at Yes Mortgages on 823 4531 or 021 783 266.

As autumn passes and the long nights of winter are starting to settle in, we can expect to see changes in the garden. Rain helps replenish soil by adding moisture and autumn leaves drop to provide natural compost on the garden surface. Use these rainy days to plan ahead for future plantings, also to clean and sharpen your tools for pruning. Strawberry time Choose a well-drained sunny position. Prepare the ground with compost and strawberry fertiliser, work well into the soil. If planted now they will start producing in October through to the new year. Strawberries should be replaced every two years in the home garden, this ensures healthy and abundant crops. Citrus When picking your fruit, make sure to cut the fruit off with secateurs and cut back into the bush, rather than pulling the fruit off. Winter is the best time to prune larger branches, if done in summer it can attract unwanted citrus borer bugs. Follow the pruning with a spray of copper to help seal cuts and prevent fungal infections. Feijoas Prune following the picking of fruit. Older bushes will benefit from being cut back into the old wood to rejuvenate the bush. Flowers Pots can add a splash of colour during winter. Pansies, viola, primula and poppies are all winter favourites. Always cut dead flower heads off and feed to encourage more flowers. Vegetables Continue planting winter greens. Silver beet, spinach, cauliflower, cabbage, broccoli and winter lettuce. If the ground is too cold then you can substitute for large pots in a sunny position. The team at Amber Garden Centre are looking forward to the arrival of the new season stock of our deciduous and fruit trees. Follow our social media and sign up to the Amber Card to get notified of their arrival. We are also taking pre orders, so give us a call today. Happy gardening and stay warm.

Concert goers expressing appreciation and good wishes to Eon Malan after his final concert at St Andrew’s Church earlier this month.
in Sacred Spaces’ initiative in Cape Town in 2018 to encourage the use of beautiful venues for musical experiences. He ran one of South Africa’s most successful classical music companies for over a decade, one that sold organs and imported sheet music nationally. He then studied music at Cape Town’s Stellenbosch University, adding diplomas in Hymnology and Church Music from the Conservatorium of Church Music in Pretoria. He has performed in South Africa, the United Kingdom, the US and New Zealand, and, after completing his master’s degree this year he will tackle his PhD in 2023. Eon came to New Zealand in early 2020. His partner Jacques Meyer had taken up an opportunity at the high-end of hospitality before that, and Eon found a position as assistant organist and director of digital communications at the Anglican Cathedral in Hamilton. He also did design and website creation,
taught music at St Peter’s in Cambridge, and was invited to promote the then newlyrefurbished pipe organ at St Andrew’s. The couple wed in September 2020 but will spend their first US year apart as Jacques joins a hotel company in North Dakota and Eon goes to North Carolina. “It’s just the way it has panned out … but we’re quite used to it.” Part of the magic Eon brought was his infectious ability to deliver a range of music. His concerts have included popular love songs for Valentine’s Day, a programme devoted to Bach, hymn singalongs, and movie themes, including the theme to the Indiana Jones films. “It’s all about bringing the organ to the people … we’re something of a dying breed,” he said. “I have loved every minute of being here, but after realising I have only around 25 Christmases before I retire, I needed to do something to secure my future.”

Alpacas pay a visit
Hot pies
Residents at Cambridge Resthaven enjoyed a visit by some unusual guests recently when four fluffy alpacas, accompanied by their owners Lynda and Bruce Mathews, visited for the morning. The Mathews have a close connection with Cambridge Resthaven through their relatives, Ian and Sandra Mathews, who live in the village. During their visit, Lynda gave an entertaining talk about the life she shares with Bruce raising and breeding alpacas on their Awaawaroa Alpaca farm in Pukekohe. The couple started in 2001 with three alpacas; they now have 80, all of them known by name. The farm provides stud alpacas and alpaca fleece products, as well as offering farm tours and glamping among the alpacas. The visitors proved to be ideal guests, with residents happy to step up Lynda and Bruce Mathews of Awaawaroa Alpacas in Pukekohe, seen here with one of their charges Valentine, giving a talk about life running an alpaca farm. to pat the animals.

NO PLANET B
The hazard of Juke By Peter Matthews
I got into the smaller of our two cars this morning and pushed the start button. The car said: “I’m fed up with being a Nissan Juke; I wanna be something big like a Ford Ranger”. “Ford Ranger?” I said, “Why would you want to be one of those gas guzzlers? What about the environment?” “I couldn’t care less about the environment.” said Juke. “I’m a petrol car, and anyway, I’ll be landfill soon enough and then I’ll be one with the planet.” “I’m not sure old cars go into landfill, you’re more likely to end up as scrap metal. Although, as a responsible car owner, I’ll make sure you get properly recycled.” “Oh, can’t wait”. I hadn’t realised cars were given to sarcasm. “I’ve always dreamed of being broken into a thousand pieces and shipped off all over the country.” “Mm, and the world,” I replied “some parts go overseas.” “Even better,” sighed Juke, “nothing but fun in my future.” It’s true that the prognosis for cars is never good; straight out of the factory it’s all downhill, and for most of them it’s a pretty short ride. According to Consumer Reports 240,000 kilometres will see most into the scrapyard. I bought a boat recently (for a dollar!) which was built just eight years after Carl Benz patented his Benz Patent-Motorwagen in 1886, generally accepted to be the first modern car. I’ll admit, the boat is far from seaworthy, but it is 128 years old. The plan is to restore it, when I can find the time.

Since then, worldwide, almost 2.2 billion motor cars have been produced, and the vast majority of those have since been decommissioned and disposed of. Not very green. In New Zealand alone in 2021, 12,580 Ford Rangers were sold. No wonder my Juke wants to be one; they’re all the rage. When I was a child, I wanted to be a ranger too; a wildlife ranger. I had visions of myself driving across the savannah, obviously in a Land Rover. That was the 70s and it was well known even then that wildlife around the world was in catastrophic decline. At that time there were about 1.3 million African elephants in existence - now there are around 400,000. I think we can all see where that’s heading, although numbers are apparently growing in some (small) areas. Unfortunately, they’ve had to manage without me because in 1974 my parents bought me a guitar and everything else went “out the window”. I like to think of myself nowadays as more environmentally aware and responsible than I have been for most of my life, but looking at the big picture, how much difference can a person make? And if no one else bothers why should I? I was raking leaves at the weekend and one of my neighbours jumped into his Ranger and took it down to the dairy for a pint of milk. Probably used a pint of petrol in the process.

Learning from the best By Steph Bell-Jenkins
Training with the Gallagher Chiefs on Friday afternoon was a dream come true for Cambridge Middle School student Riley McBeth. Riley started playing rugby when he was four and has never missed a Saturday game for his school or club. “He’s so dedicated to rugby that he takes his ball and his tee to school and goes early to do his kicks, probably for a good half hour most weekdays,” his mother Jolene said. “It’s actually one of his goals to get into the Chiefs.” She didn’t tell her son she’d entered him in a competition to meet his heroes. “He was with his dad when I told him he’d won, and Keiran said his smile was from ear to ear,” she said. The Gallagher Chiefs Ball Skills Day was organised by First Windows & Doors – one of the Super Rugby team’s major sponsors – and held at Hautapu Sports Club. Cambridge children won about 30 of the 160 spots open to 5-12 year-old rugby fans from around the region. The event ran from 4pm-6pm on Friday afternoon, with 10 Chiefs players running drills and skills sessions.

Riley found the players “very humble, friendly and fun to hang out with”. Seven-year-old Leamington School student Enzo Guise, who is in his third season of rugby, was another lucky winner. He got to meet his favourite Chiefs player Simon Parker, who went to St Peter’s School and hails from Hautapu Sports Club. Enzo’s mother Sam Hoogendyk said the event was “an awesome experience
for the kids”. “It was well organised and it was great to see the Chiefs interacting with up and coming little rugby stars,” she said. Chiefs prop Aidan Ross said the day was more about “having a good time, throwing the footy around and playing a few games” than in-depth coaching. “It’s awesome getting the kids out here and getting amongst them,” he said.

Cocktails for the kākāpō Cambridge By Benjamin Wilson.
An art auction and three course dinner has been set up to raise money for the modification of Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari’s predator fence, so that kākāpō may be relocated to the maunga. The maunga’s conservation team trialled modifications to their fence earlier this year, but are in need of $678,593 before they can start implementing any changes. The June 9 event will be the inaugural launch of what will be an annual gala dinner, named Mauri of the Maunga. It is to be held at Lake Karāpiro’s Sir Don Rowlands Centre - tickets are to cost $160 each. Patrons can expect a three-course meal provided by Montana Catering, music from local duo Kind ‘a Jazz, and “an exclusive auction of 30 original artworks created by renowned local, national and international
artists.” New Zealand comedian Te Radar is to make an appearance, as well as guest speaker professor Jacqueline Beggs, from The Department of Conservation’s Kākāpō Recovery Team. Sanctuary Mountain chief executive, Phil Lyons, said that some of the night’s entertainment is to be a “surprise”. Lyons said that the gala’s auction and ticket sales would directly support the sanctuary’s conservation work. And the sanctuary is also seeking funding from the Lottery Environment & Heritage Fund, and the kākāpō Recovery Group. With a population of only 201, kākāpō are highly endangered. Upon receiving funding, it will take 10 staff and 47 days to modify Sanctuary Mountain’s fence. Upon its completion, the team hope to bring six to 10 kākāpō to the maunga in the last quarter of this year.

Advertorial
Tree Trust www.treetrust.org.nz
Cedar of Lebanon (cedrus libani)2 Six years ago I pondered whether this 100 year old tree near the gates to Te Koo utu would survive the construction of the new roundabout. Thankfully it is still there, so time for an update. ‘Around the World in 80 Trees’ tells me that this tree played a ‘critical role in the development of civilization’. Its native range is now confined to isolated mountains of Lebanon, Syria and southern Turkey, but vast cedar forests once stretched across the Eastern Mediterranean to southwestern Iran. And cedar had everything going for it, which is probably the reason for its downfall. Tolerant of both summer drought and winter freezing, its wood was a valuable commodity, used for building the palaces and temples of Assyria,
Persia and Babylon, and the trading ships of the Phoenicians. The ancient Egyptians used its resin for embalming the Pharaohs before their burial in the pyramids. Over-exploitation of cedar is already evident in the 4000 year old Sumerian ‘Epic of Gilgamesh’. Conservation efforts were made including in AD 118 the creation of an imperial cedar forest by the Roman emperor Hadrian. Perversely, it now seems that global warming may help reverse its decline; a recent search for a forest species which will thrive in central Europe in coming centuries shows that Cedrus libani may fit the bill. Apparently planted as a seed by a soldier returning from the Middle East after World War 1, this tree deserves our respect, and given a chance it may live another 2000 years!
Cambridge Tree Trust would like to thank Mitre 10 for their support for these monthly articles which are intended to raise interest and awareness of trees in Cambridge.

Damage to the rail track at Telephone and Holland roads on SH1B.
By Mary Anne Gill
KiwiRail was instrumental in the closure of the railway crossing by Holland Rd on State Highway 1B because of the threat of a derailment. The 1B route is a popular one for drivers heading north from Cambridge, Tauwhare and Matangi residents and the Holland Rd detour following the closure is time consuming. The intersection was closed to traffic at Telephone Rd last month, after a truck travelling over the rail lines dislodged a section of track. More than 38 trains a day use the railway line and that is forecast to rise to 100 a day in the next decade. Waka Kotahi New Zealand Transport Agency Regional Relationships director David Speirs told Waikato Regional Council’s Regional Transport committee last week his organisation could not assure KiwiRail the line was safe. “The road is there by KiwiRail’s approval, so they take priority,” he said. “It’s been one of our high priorities for some time and it’s not safe.” KiwiRail’s Angus Hodgson told the committee the line was one of the rail company’s busiest. “Half the outboard freight from Tauranga goes on that line,” he said. The operation repair frequency on the section at the intersection between Telephone and Holland roads had become intolerable and cost prohibitive, he said. The rail crossing is one of the most dangerous of 1300 in New Zealand by KiwiRail, using the Australian Level Crossing Assessment Model. Barriers are in place at the intersection of Telephone Road and Amber Lane and at the intersection of Telephone Road and Holland Road on the southern side of the rail crossing soon. Traffic on SH1B will continue to be detoured around Seddon Road, Waverley Road, and Holland Rd while the closure is in place. The disruption to regular users, particularly those travelling to Auckland, is likely to be alleviated when the Waikato Expressway through to Tamahere opens in eight weeks. After that opens, SH1B will become a local road and handed over to Waikato District Council to control. As part of this process, Waka Kotahi and Waikato District Council must agree about the current condition of the road. Waka Kotahi and Waikato District Council are discussing the intersection and its future once it becomes a local road. Speirs said the handover would not take place until the rail intersection problem was solved. “I’ve told the team to come up with solutions,” he said. “If the option is we can keep it open for light vehicles, when that is complete, it will go to Waikato district.”
