Library books up 150 years By Mary Anne Gill
Cambridge Library turned 150 last week but staff were too busy to make a fuss – other than cut a birthday cake - as they were issuing books and signing up new members. The library has never been busier, library supervisor Rachel Newnes said, and the books stored under the shelves and out the back in the work room highlights the need for more space. There was a failed bid to rehouse the library in the old Bunnings building earlier this year and Waipā District Council is not ruling out grabbing extra space from within the library’s existing facility in Wilson Street which it shares with council staff. Acting chief executive Ken Morris said because of flexible working from home arrangements in response to the pandemic, there are not as many staff in the council’s two offices in Te Awamutu and Cambridge. “The issue of staff accommodation will be under review over coming months,” he said. “Three Waters reform could have a significant impact on how many staff we need to house in our own buildings.” The library moved into the council’s Cambridge service centre in 1998. It is its fifth home since it opened on July 9, 1872 with 30 members and a couple of hundred book titles in the Cambridge Primary School. Today it has nearly 21,000 members – 1000 new ones in the last year – and issues more than 310,000 books, DVDs and jigsaws annually, nearly twice as much as the other Waipā library in Te Awamutu Kym Kearns at 20 plus years is Cambridge’s longest serving librarian. The former world champion inline and roller hockey player is a member of the Duke Street walk of fame and a breeder of trotting horses. and up five percent in a Covid affected year.

Māori on new roll
By Roy Pilott
People on the Māori roll for general elections have been automatically switched to Māori ward rolls for October’s local body elections. But no one has thought to actually tell them. Electoral Commission communication to those voters only tells them what electorate they enrolled in for general elections. The decision impacts on 35 electorates where Māori wards will be contested. We asked Māori commentators, a former and current district councillor and Māori leaders whether they aware of the switch. Only one, a regional council candidate, was. While aware of the switch, Bill Harris, who has announced he will stand in the Māori Ward in Waipā, did not think the specifics had been properly advertised to voters. Rolls are locked in for this election – but under legislation going through Parliament, Māori will be able to switch roles next year, rather than in 2024. • Inside today, Our election coverage shapes up – see Pages 3 and 5.

The library is single-storey, but the rest of the service centre is double storey – so any expansion into office space would have to consider floor loading issues, given the weight of books, said Morris. “So, there are quite a few things in the mix.” The library has a history of outgrowing itself – moving from the primary school to Victoria Street and then into the new Town Hall in 1909. Cambridge was one of 18 local New Zealand councils to get money from Scottishborn American philanthropist Andrew Carnegie for a ‘free library’. He advanced £1000 for the Town Hall’s proposed library wing in return for a pledge that all persons over 14 years of age
residing in the borough should be able to take out one book free a week, and those paying a subscription could borrow a further two books. The Carnegie Free Public Library stayed in the Town Hall until 1977 when it moved to its fourth home back in Victoria Street to new premises behind where Robert Harris Café is now. It then moved into the council’s newly-built service centre on July 7, 1998 into an 850 square metre space. On current projections, the library needs 2500 square metres – 900 more than Te Awamutu has. Doom and gloom merchants predicted the demise of libraries post Covid, but the opposite is the case.

Adult issues are well up while e-Books and e-Audios grew in popularity during the pandemic. Librarians also took to the road issuing books in places like rest homes and retirement villages where residents were unable to get out. They will continue that mobile service using Covid recovery funds until December. Cambridge Community Board chair Sue Milner, an ardent fan of libraries, congratulated the library on its sesquicentennial. “A library is more than
books, it is people and it is for everyone,” she said. “Cambridge is so fortunate to have such a wonderful library with terrific staff.” As part of the low key celebrations, a wine and cheese evening will be held next week for invited guests while residents can write in a commemorative book to record their thoughts on Cambridge Library. Plenty have already including young Knox who took up a whole page to say: “Thanks for library book.”
On the beat with Senior Constable DEB THURGOOD Peer pressure and consequences I start today with a good catch story. Readers of my last few columns will be aware of the recent increase in youth offending and our call for the community to assist. Last weekend, a vehicle was stolen from inside a Waipā business in a night-time burglary. Six young people then allegedly took it for a joy ride through Cambridge, Te Awamutu, Ōhaupō and into Hamilton. They failed to stop for police in Hamilton before eventually getting the vehicle bogged off road. One was apprehended at the scene and the majority of the remaining youth were handed into Cambridge police by their parents soon afterwards. They are being dealt with through the Police Youth Aid Service. This incident highlights how offending by a young person can quickly escalate from what is initially minor crime - shoplifting and graffiti - to much more

serious crime with the potential for real harm and loss to be caused. It also shows the role that peer pressure can play where young people agree to do things in a group, that they may not have otherwise. We are most appreciative of the role that the families of these youth played in enabling us to hold them to account. I also want to say how good it is to see local business taking preventative action and installing and enhancing CCTV coverage on their premises. Having clear footage of a crime being committed is the best evidence. When designing your CCTV network, it is always a good idea to position one of the cameras at the front of your business capturing the business frontage, driveway/ carpark and/or pavement outside. Where an offender leaves in a vehicle, having the ability to view that vehicle and gain its registration and description is most helpful. It increases the chance of patrols being
able to locate the vehicle as it makes its getaway, and of being able to follow up with investigation at a later stage. Because criminals often swap out number plates, seeing the vehicle make, model and colour as well as the number plate is key. Footage of the vehicle and its occupants can lead police to obtain further identifying features of the offenders and any associates who may be waiting outside. Key factors for any CCTV system are knowing how long the footage is stored before being overwritten and having staff onsite who are able to access, review, save and download footage when required. Keep cameras clean and clear of cobwebs and other obstructions and ensure they are working. I hope the last weekend of the school holidays goes well for those with school aged children. Have fun and stay safe.

Briefs… Nominations open
Nominations opened for Waipā, Waikato and Waikato Regional councils on Friday. By noon yesterday four Waikato district nominations were showing – for mayor Askel Bech, and council Stephanie Henderson, Janet Gibb and Eugene Patterson. Te Awamutu’s Bernie Fynn was among the first cabs off the rank in Waipā when nominations opened - telling The News he is standing for council again.
Conference time
Waipā Mayor Jim Mylchreest and councillors Clare St Pierre, Lou Brown and Philip Coles joined about 600 delegates at the Local Government New Zealand conference this week.
Canine comments
Around 250 people have provided views as Waipā District Council continues to seek feedback on dog exercise rules, exercise areas, prohibited areas, and other aspects of dog control. The feedback will help shape changes to dog control rules to be considered later this year.
Covid fund
Applications have opened for Waipā community groups and businesses seeking financial assistance to help the district in its long-term recovery from Covid-19. Waipā District Council has $80,000 available from the existing Community Recovery Budget for community-based projects. Applications close August 11.
On their bikes
Waipā youngsters have featured in the final leading overall standings in the national Mini Motocross Nationals following races last weekend. Jai Gibson, Te Awamutu, won the 6-8 years’ 50cc class, Deklan Burton (Ōtorohanga) was second in the 4-7 years' 50cc intro class and Te Awamutu’s Levi Pickerell won the 4-7 years’ 50cc intro trail class.
We say…
Welcome to the elections
We are now in election mode – welcome to the season where candidates put up their signs, come looking for your votes by door knocking and seek out photo opportunities. Elections give residents a vital opportunity to consider the opinions of our elected representatives – and those who want to replace them – on issues that impact on us. The work of councils, councillors and board members is vital, as is robust local body coverage – and we are proud to have brought it back to Waipā. The News plans to lead the way on election coverage by getting you to help us set the agenda. We have a good idea about the key issues which concern voters – transport, infill housing,
parks and reserves and where council money is spent. We look forward to readers telling us what they see as the major issues – by going to cambridgenews.nz and teawamutunews.nz and clicking on “contact” at the foot of the page. We’ll run surveys through the election period too. If you are standing for council, congratulations – make sure we have your contact details. If you are thinking of standing or want advice, watch out for a Local Government New Zealand online session which Good Local Media editor Roy Pilott will host next Wednesday. The Good Local stance on candidates’ platforms will be quite simple. If you have a statement about your ambitions and policies, call advertising manager Janine Davy on 027 287
0005. Policy statements and thank you notes do not meet our criteria of Letters to the Editor. Good Local reporters will not be working as candidate publicity agents - but where we see a story, we will look for the opinions of candidates. And, to be clear, saying you’ll wait to see what the public wants will be simply recorded as “gave no opinion”. Voters have an opportunity to influence how their community is run once every three years. If you want to be informed, follow The News. Throughout the election we’ll be asking readers for their opinions. To kick off our campaign, our first question is, if the election was held today, who would you vote for as mayor? • Go to cambridgenews.nz to cast your vote.
Community boards: what it’s worth By Mary Anne Gill
Only one Waipā elected representative has claimed a childcare allowance payable to all councillors and community board members since 2019. Cambridge Community Board member Elise Badger, a solo parent of two children aged seven and four, has received $405 for childcare costs incurred while attending evening board meetings. The allowance was introduced by the Remuneration Authority in 2019 in response to widespread concern from the local government sector that a lack of financial support for childcare creates a barrier for women to go for elected positions. It was left to individual councils to decide whether to adopt it or not. Details of the payments made to Badger are included in a list of expenses provided to The News in response to recent concerns about the future role of community boards. Board members in Cambridge are annually paid $9663 while in Te Awamutu they get $9331. Chairs get $19,327 and $18,662. They receive the payments irrespective of how many board meetings they attend while councillors appointed to the boards do not receive additional payments for their time. We asked how much community board members had claimed in expenses since November 2019 and how many meetings they went to. None of the Te Awamutu members had claimed expenses but five Cambridge members did. Sue Milner ($1238.82), Jo DaviesColley ($682.16), Elwyn AndreeWiltens ($1058.93), Grahame
Webber ($127.98) and Badger ($1320.87) claimed expenses for such things as mileage, a conference, communications and childcare. Meeting attendances were over 90 per cent with Cambridge’s Alana Mackay the only one to attend every meeting. Badger said when she put her name forward for the community board, the childcare allowance had not been approved so did not influence her decision. But once it was available, she had no qualms in claiming it and urged other elected representatives to claim it and for potential candidates to be aware of it.
Such payments were essential so elected councillors and community board members are representative of their communities, she said. Badger works part time as a health professional. Board meetings held in the evening made it difficult for her to attend unless she had childcare. The allowance cannot be claimed if children are over 14 or if a family member is caring for the child. There is a limit of $6000 a year per child. “I think the challenge of local government across the board is balancing paid employment against the council commitments.” Small actions like paid childcare help attract diverse representation,
she said. The News launched its election coverage this week. Nominations for the district and regional councils and community boards opened last Friday and close on August 12. In an attempt to get more women involved in Waipā, current, retired and aspiring female politicians can share their experiences at the first Women in Politics event next week. Waipā governance manager Jo Gread said councils undertake a huge scope of work on behalf of their communities. “Successful elections need good candidates who have the best interests of the community at heart.”

Dying to go naturally By Mary Anne Gill
When Dawn Ivil died in 2017, her family honoured her wishes and interred her ashes in Leamington Cemetery’s natural burial section. Natural burials in Waipā are only available at Leamington but recent feedback, following revelations the district’s cemeteries are reaching capacity, shows environmental options are wanted elsewhere. Son Trent recalls his mother, who died when she was 84, thought the natural burial section was a better use of land and resources. Her partner John Elliott shared her views as did daughter Tracey so after the funeral service on July 11, 2017, she was laid to rest at the edge of the section with a modest wooden cross and a native bush planted at the spot. Burial and cremation costs have risen in recent months. Funeral Directors Association chief executive Gillian Boyes has called for Work and Income Funeral grants to rise from the current $2280.70 so families can pay for funerals which can cost up to $10,000. Waipā has 10 cemeteries – the three largest are at Hautapu, Leamington and Te Awamutu. There are gardens of remembrance at Leamington, Hautapu and Pukerimu where small plaques can be installed. Community Services manager Brad Ward says while initial uptake had not been as high for the natural burial spot in Leamington as the council had wanted, he expected that to increase following the survey. A natural burial returns the body to the earth as quickly as possible so the body can not be embalmed and is buried within the active soil layer, no deeper than 800m. If buried in a casket, it must be made of untreated fibre or wood and of non-toxic adhesives. It costs $1948 for a natural burial plot and

an additional $1050 for a casket internment and $116 for cremation. Families get a list of native plants and trees recommended for the site and includes rimu, kowhai, ribbonwood and ferns. Arrangements for the planting of a memorial are made after the burial at the best time of year to ensure healthy growth. No permanent monuments are allowed but a grave marker made of engraved, burned or untreated wood can be used as it will decompose overtime. Council staff prepare the hole for the tree so family can plant it if they want. The plot has a global positioning system (GPS) recorded so it can be found after the natural bush has regenerated. The feedback survey which closed earlier
this month showed 87 per cent of respondents were satisfied with the current range of burial options. One respondent wants to see the creation of cultural landscapes with features, design and planting identifying the site’s significance to mana whenua and mātāwaka (tribes of the country). Another wanted caskets phased out in favour of biopods or other economically friendly options while others wanted better seating, shade, toilets, car parking, wayfinding signs, water and biodiversity planting. The disrepair of older graves and headstones was seen as a concern. A report will be presented to the council’s Service committee.
One of the first Māori to serve on a Waipā District Council committee says the experience and lessons learned have prompted him to put his name forward for the council. Bill Harris, 63, submitted his nomination for Bill Harris the Māori ward seat last Friday. The Ngāti Apakura Runanga Trust chair, who is on the Service Delivery committee, is one of four Te Kanohi iwi representatives. Harris said because of the lack of overlap between the council committees, iwi representation on the council felt disjointed. He believes having a Māori ward, introduced for the first time in Waipā at this election, will change that. “You don’t get to ask questions unless you’re aware of them, and you can’t be aware of them unless you have a seat at the table,” he said. Harris said that, above all, he is “appreciative” that the district finally has a Māori ward.

FROM CLUB TO CASES
SAM LEWIS
I remember the Cambridge Club well in those early days, when women were invited for special meetings or drinks at five. A very gracious and beautiful building, and when the Club downsized in 2002, Lewis Lawyers moved in. Lewis Lawyers have now been there for 20 years. When I came here over 50 years ago, Sam Lewis was a well-known name in Cambridge – a very popular lawyer who had his office in Duke Street. And as fate would have it, he was one of the first members of the Cambridge Club. Sam Lewis set up practice in 1906. Henry Dallimore joined Lewis as a partner and the firm became Lewis and Dallimore. Lewis was Mayor of Cambridge from 1921 to 1923. Sam’s son Peter Lewis served in World War II. On his return in 1944, he resumed work at Lewis and Dallimore and was appointed partner. In 1950 the firm became Lewis and Jecks when
“I know I am an old man, but I really don’t feel it,” said Samuel Lewis, aged 90. “I enjoy coming to the office every day and all day. I am thankful to be still feeling fit.” Sam Lewis was 92 when he retired after practising law for 64 years – a New Zealand record. He was born in Te Awamutu in 1878. When he was 16, he fought in the South African War. On his return, he qualified in law and practised in Cambridge from 1906. Sam Lewis served his community well. He was Mayor from 1921 to 1923, and served on numerous councils, associations and clubs. He was a founding member of the Cambridge Gentlemen’s Club in 1907. At the museum, Sam Lewis’s name and image often pops up in computer Sam Lewis in 1906, searches. ref Cambridge Family weddings Museum 2958/7/64 were important social events for Cambridge. From the mid-1950s, he was called on to speak and share reminiscences about his early days. He remembered when Cambridge was a bigger town than Hamilton. He remembered Mayor Buckland “robust in physique and language” who championed the building of the Cambridge Town Hall, Victoria (High Level) Bridge, Post Office and the Courthouse. Lewis established his firm for many years in a building in Duke Street formerly owned by Buckland. The building is still there – now the premises for Cambridge Physiotherapy and Kaz Design. Sam Lewis passed away in 1976, described by the local paper as “one of Cambridge’s oldest and most highly respected citizens.” – Karen Payne
Lewis Lawyers today. Photograph by Bruce Hancock. David Jecks joined the firm. In 1970, at the age of 92, Sam Lewis retired. Simon Makgill joined Lewis and Jecks, and in 1977 Simon was appointed partner and the firm was renamed Lewis Jecks and Co. In those days, the Cambridge Courthouse was a central point for the law fraternity with presiding judges, and many Cambridge offenders were marched down the aisle to receive their
penalties. The company amalgamated to form McCaw Lewis Chapman in 1982 with offices in Hamilton and Cambridge. In 1989 Simon Makgill and Matt Hanna separated from McCaw Lewis Chapman to form Lewis. Present partners of Lewis are Matt Makgill, Lucy Young, Monique MedleyRush and Lisa Ware, with Simon Makgill a consultant to the firm.
THE CAMBRIDGE CLUB What did a gentleman do if he had a few hours to kill in Cambridge? He went to the Cambridge Gentlemen’s Club of course! The Cambridge Gentlemen’s Club was formed and its clubrooms opened in 1907. The building was described as “an ornament to the town” by the Waikato Times (17/10/07). Who cares if we don’t have photographs of the interior at that time? The description provided by the Waikato Times is enough. Interior designer Mr Curtain had done his job well. We learn all the materials, colours and finishes used. We learn that the caretaker’s room was connected with all the other rooms by electric bells; that the billiard table was mounted on a concrete foundation over which six incandescent gaslights were installed; and that the lavatories were housed in an outbuilding screened by a lattice-work fence. In the early days, the Club did not provide a bar; members kept alcohol in individual lockers. Biscuits and cheese were provided. Income was from subscriptions, and playing fees for cards and billiards. A reading room provided
The Cambridge Club c.1980s from the Cambridge Museum research collection the latest magazines, and these were sold annually for extra revenue. The Club’s financial situation ebbed and flowed with membership numbers. Land-owners, businessmen and professionals made up the bulk of the membership, and although membership drives were promoted, not everyone made the cut. At a Club meeting in 1937, a respected factory manager’s nomination was rejected for no recorded reason. Next to the name of each nominee was his profession – perhaps a factor in the approval process.
The Cambridge Club building still stands on the corner of Alpha and Dick Streets as the offices of Lewis Lawyers. It was designed by architects Rigby & Warren and built by Cambridge builder Fred Potts. In 1997, the building was remodelled by Garry Thomas, the same year women were admitted as members. The building was sold to Lewis Barristers and Solicitors in 2002. The Cambridge Club has since merged with the Cambridge Bowling Club, and is now known as the Thornton Club in the Cambridge Domain. All welcome. – Karen Payne

Slow, slow, quick quick slow… By Mary Anne Gill
Waka Kotahi is under attack from enraged motorists following the road transport authority’s decision to implement a programme of safety improvements at Tamahere, the day after it opened the Waikato Expressway Hamilton section. The bottle necks at the SH1 Tamahere interchanges with Airport and Tauwhare roads – where four lanes suddenly merge into one and the speed limit goes from 110km/hr to 50km/hr - seem to have caught everyone except Waka Kotahi by surprise. The organisation says it was always part of the plan once the expressway opened to upgrade the Tamahere section, so it met design and safety standards required for a 110km/hour speed limit. But nothing The News can find on Waka Kotahi’s website confirms that. When the speed limit was introduced in 2017, the organisation said the higher speed limit applied from Cambridge southern to Tamahere interchanges. For motorists it is more of the same – the bottlenecks at Tamahere have been going on for more than five years since construction started on the southern interchange. The light at the end of the tunnel was the final opening of the expressway. Social media exploded soon after the new 22km expressway section opened late on Thursday night and has been relentless ever since. Despite it being school holidays when traffic is traditionally lighter during the week, queues form both sides of Tamahere. Making the situation even worse was Waikato District Council’s decision to close the northern end of Newell Road forcing

motorists to use the Tamahere interchange or take the longer SH3 route into Hamilton. The council, which says it knew about Waka Kotahi’s plans at Tamahere, has no plans to reopen Newell Road. National List MP David Bennett said when his government signed off on the expressway, Tamahere had been built to Australian standards for 110km/hr. “However, the reality is they had failed to complete major connection points especially at Tamahere. “Motorists are rightfully angry and what could have been a significant opening is now soured by its practical failures. “This failure has infuriated motorists and has created real safety concerns.

a 110 km/hour motorway of multiple lanes suddenly reduces to one lane, it’s an accident waiting to happen,” he said. Waka Kotahi Infrastructure regional manager Jo Wilton said the Tamahere interchange opened in 1995 and was not up to 110km/hr standard. The recent approval meant the work could only start now. Work on the two lanes in each direction would be complete by October-November, she said. “The safety improvements include the installation of crash-preventing roadside wire-rope barriers.” While the temporary measures will cause delays, “the benefits of opening the
Hamilton section of the expressway as soon as possible outweigh any temporary inconvenience,” said Wilton. Meanwhile a section of SH1 between Karapiro Road and the SH1/SH29 intersection at Piarere will close from August 8 from 9am to 4pm for a week to allow tree felling and road surface repairs. During the road closure, people will be detoured via Karapiro Road, Taotaoroa Road and SH29. Over-weight and over-dimension vehicles will be stacked at either end of the worksite and let through at 11am and 1pm. Residents and businesses will have access to and from their properties throughout the day, as required.

TALKING ECONOMICS
A nasty surprise By Peter Nicholl
A worrying story appeared in newspapers last week. An international expat network group called InternNations had conducted a survey of around 12,000 immigrants to compare what countries were like to live in as an expat. They based their country rankings on criteria such as cost-of-living, safety, bureaucracy and quality of life. A total of 52 countries had a large enough sample size to be ranked. New Zealand was ranked 51. Unfortunately, that was one place from the bottom (Kuwait was below us), not one place from the top. The scoring systems used in these international surveys are never sound enough to justify them making individual country rankings from top to bottom. But they are usually good enough to justify them saying the countries near the top of the survey are a lot better than the ones near the bottom. The main reasons New Zealand was ranked so low were low wages and a high cost of living. New Zealand ranked as the worst place to live as an expat on these issues. For example, overall, 35 per cent of the expat respondents were unhappy with the cost of living where they were living. For New Zealand, that dissatisfaction level was a whopping 75 per cent. New Zealand is used to being near the top in many global comparison surveys such as the low level of corruption and the ease of doing business. It’s a nasty surprise therefore to find ourselves at the other end. Some may blame the poor result on whining expats who don’t know how lucky they are to be in New Zealand. But the result is entirely consistent with what many New Zealanders, especially those on low incomes, have been saying for some time. New
HE WHAKAWHITINGA WHAKAARO
The signifiance of the haka By Tom Roa, Tikanga Advisor, Waikato University
Zealand has become an expensive place to live in as price rises have been outstripping wage rises for some time. The current surge in inflation could make that situation even worse. Inflation in the year to 30 June was 7.3 per cent, the highest level in 32 years. Wages, though beginning to rise, are still not keeping pace with price rises. The Reserve Bank of New Zealand is still saying they will get inflation back within their target range of 1-3 per cent by the end of 2024. I think that is wishful thinking. But even if they do, prices will have risen by almost 25 per cent in the four years 2021-2024. Getting the inflation rate back down to 1-3 per cent doesn’t bring the price level back down – it just stops it from rising further. The only way an inflation cycle will be prevented is if wages do not rise in line with the current high inflation rates. But unless wages rise to compensate people, New Zealand’s cost-of-living situation will get even worse - and the global survey indicates that we are already one of the worst countries in this regard. It appears we are going to have either an inflation crisis or a cost-of- living crisis. We could end up with both, but I don’t see how we can avoid them both. One other worrying item in this survey was that our near-neighbour, Australia, came in at a respectable ninth place. There have been lots of stories in the news recently of New Zealanders saying they were going to shift to Australia because the cost-of-living there was better. This survey is evidence that these people are right.
There is a saying amongst Ngāti Maniapoto which asserts, ‘Ki te kore koe e kōrerotia, ehara koe i te tangata. Ki te kore koe e haehaetia ehara koe i te rangatira!’ ‘If no-one talks about you you’re not a person. If no-one talks bad about you you’re not a chief!’ The current All Black coach might take a comfort in this. It is a very Māori way of looking at leadership. I’m reminded also in this context of the haka and its significance. Commentators assert that the haka is a ‘wero’, and interpret that as a challenge,- the ‘gauntlet has been laid down’. However like many expressions of a cultural nature re-interpreted by another different cultural lens, there is something a little lost in the translation. The question for me is who is challenging whom, and why? The ‘wero’ is performed by a ‘toa’, a warrior, or sometimes a group of toa, brandishing a ‘rākau’, a weapon, in a very stylised, yet personalised, manner in the ‘pōwhiri’, the encounter protocol practised when someone of moment, a VIP, a personage of some significance, is welcomed to a gathering of moment, of significance to those gathered, . A ‘rau’, a small carving, a leaf, a feather, of significance again to those gathered is placed in front of the VIP who then picks that up, upon which the toa again brandishes the rākau, slaps his thigh, and signals for the VIP and their party to proceed on to the meeting space with honour. Note: the wero is ‘of moment’. It is an expression of ‘mana’, acknowledging of the status of both those who perform the wero as well as those who receive it.
And is never merely a meaningless ritual to entertain. Such also is the significance of the haka. It is an assertion of mana. The mana of those who are performing it, and of those at whom it is targetted. It is not merely a question of someone or some group merely ‘challenging’ another person or group. Many moons ago the haka was treated as an entertainment. Worse, in 1979 the infamous ‘Haka Party incident’ in Auckland made headlines. A group of University of Auckland engineering students rehearsing their annual tradition of a mock haka were confronted by the activist group He Tauā. Today, when our national sports teams take to their respective fields of sporting ‘conflict’ it appears to me that in their performance of the haka there is an essential expression and recognition of respect for the mana of those engaged in the ‘conflict’. The more fierce the expression in the haka, the more fierce the recognition of the mana of the opposing team. I for one join in congratulating the Irish team for their magnificent effort in carrying the mana of Ireland into this historic series win. And that’s not just because of my Irish ancestry. But more because their response to the All Blacks’ haka was of historic moment. Most worthy of being ‘talked about.’ And the best response the All Blacks and their coach can give to the ‘haehae’, is to embrace it, and respond accordingly, with ‘mana’.

FAITH IN WAIPĀ
What it means to believe By Murray Smith, Senior Leader, Bridges Church
I know people who would do anything not to fly in an aeroplane. For years they’ve exercised that prerogative. For some, holding that position is validated by documentaries about plane crashes and the subsequent investigations exploring what went wrong. Viewing those could perturb anyone’s sense of safety in boarding an aluminium tube that’s thrust through the stratosphere by jet engines, as flexing wings lift the weight of passengers to convey them around the globe. If questioned, a person who chooses not to fly, might say “I fully believe planes can fly” …they would accept the fact that roughly six million people travel the globe every day in an aircraft. But for them, their level of ‘belief’ never translates to a personal commitment of wanting to entrust themselves to embarking on a flight. To say you ‘believe’ something is not just giving mental assent or agreement to it. Belief actually becomes demonstrable when you entrust yourself fully to what you say you hold to be true. I often have the chance to talk with people who say they ‘believe in Jesus’… that position invites me to explore if they are merely believing He existed as in a historical sense, viewing Him as a great man, a highly principled teacher who gave good advice or is there more? Born in Glasgow, in 1942, the comedian, Billy Connolly has stated he believed in God in earlier years. But by the time he reached his teens and early 20’s he began questioning his faith and has never stopped. In spite of what he calls his “lifelong love affair” with sending
• • • •
up organised religion, he states he ‘believes’ in Jesus as a ‘wonderful man’ and a ‘great teacher.’ That’s nice of Billy, but Jesus never gave us the option of only believing in Him in an academic cerebral way. There’s no virtue whatsoever in just claiming to believe. A true ‘believer’ is a person who ‘embarks on the flight’ entrusting their life fully to Jesus. It means receiving Him and accepting His claim as Saviour and Lord. Saying Yes to Jesus in this way impacts our ambitions, our dreams and goals, our motives, everything… our families, our work, the way we do business. It’s not just picking up an upgrade or an add-on… but it’s relinquishing the old life of independence and embracing a new life where Jesus is central because He never came to simply offer a code of ethics, or self-improvement advice, but to serve a summons. To come under the rulership of the King. The aeroplane analogy is weak I know, because aeroplane flights can go wrong. Whether it be mechanical failure or human fallibility, tragedies occur with aircraft travel. The weakness of my analogy lies in the fact that whoever truly believes into Christ will never experience a failure from His side in terms of delivering everything He promises. He is utterly infallible, all powerful and all caring… consequently whatever hellish storm life might bring, we are always safe and secure in relationship with Him.

On the bridge…
It’s important to remember that we in fact don’t need a third bridge in Cambridge to cross the Waikato River, we need a replacement second bridge. For those not in Cambridge, three bridges may seem an overkill, but it needs to be pointed out that the bridge we are desperate for is to replace the 115 year old Victoria High Bridge which was originally built for horse and cart traffic. When a replacement bridge is built, the 115 year old much loved Victoria High bridge will be gifted for cycling and walking only. The need for a replacement bridge is paramount, to cope with the ever increasing traffic in Cambridge as it grows with multiple new subdivisions both south and north of the main town. When the Victoria high bridge is receiving
much needed repairs and maintenance towards the end of 2022, the resulting traffic problems will no doubt reinforce the need for a modern up-to-date structure suited to today’s Cambridge population, and today’s modern standards. Hopefully when a new Council is voted in, this need for a replacement bridge will become a high priority. Patricia Murdoch Cambridge

COMMUNITY HOUSE COMMENT
Briefs…
Volunteer skills, not time
New housing subdivision
By Gabby Byrne, general manager, Cambridge Community House
Eighteen months ago there was a change. With any luck, you never even noticed. It was around the time we gained our volunteer driver service. The Red Cross ran it. But the service moved to be under the umbrella of Cambridge Community House. This happened because of Carole Grant, our retiring Volunteer Driver Service coordinator. Carole’s leadership helped make the transition successful. She has been making a contribution to our community in the coordinator role for three years. Three years of putting her skills to work. Three years of helping people. Three years of giving her time, energy and professionalism to our community. All for the fulfilment. As Carole frees up more time for bike riding and hobbies, she leaves with happy memories. We appreciated her work. She doesn’t get to go completely though. She’s number one on speed dial for our new coordinator, Vicki Tannahill, to call for a quick consult. We need to ensure continuity because our community values our Volunteer
Driver Service. Over the last year we made 458 trips to get people to and from medical appointments. The service is completely reliant on volunteers like Carole and Vicki. Our pool of 20 volunteer drivers take you door-to-door, but it’s not only a taxi. Our team bring support, a smile and good company. They’ll stay with you throughout your appointment. Take care of the parking hassle. And they’ll help you navigate Waikato Hospital’s sprawling campus too. Working in and around Cambridge and up to Hamilton, it’s a low- or no-cost option for people who need a ride. We ask people to pay $15 for a Cambridge trip, or $30 for Hamilton. This helps our volunteer drivers cover their costs. Sometimes people pay a smaller amount, nothing, or more to cover costs for anyone who can’t afford to pay. Our drivers don’t only volunteer their time. We rely on their people skills, empathy, organisation, time management and their goodwill. Volunteering is a commitment. It is a job. You might not get paid, but it demands a professional approach. As a community charity the work of
volunteers brings us great benefit. Not only do we get the skills we need to operate, we save our money to spend where its most needed. It’s work that can sometimes go unnoticed. It’s also work that looks so professional you might think it was being done by regular employees. We need all sorts of skills.

ACT leader’s talk draws 200 By Viv Posselt
Locals attending ACT Party leader David Seymour’s ‘Real Change’ public meeting in Cambridge last week expressed a range of concerns including co-governance, soaring living costs, growing migration numbers and declining education standards. The meeting at Te Awa Lifecare was the second in ACT’s 14-day, 13-stop Real Change Tour aimed at hearing the aspirations of different communities. It drew around 200 people, roughly the same as at the first stop in Napier. He spent time in Cambridge with Waikato based ACT MP James McDowall. Seymour said his party wanted to formulate an action plan that fits the hopes of ‘those who are paying the bills’. “Right now, the direction of the country is not aligning with their hopes and dreams, even if they are paying the bills,” he said. “The coming election will be a change election… that is why we are going around the country, why we need to find out what is important in different areas. “We want to see a change of government, and make sure it’s a government of real change. Our concerns are policies and direction. We cannot have another cycle of
Bolger, Clark, Key and Ardern, and roughly the same stuff happening. If it does, we may end up poorer, more divided and unsafe than anyone who grew up here thought possible.” Attendees raised issues around housing, manufacturing and primary industries, crime, immigration and staffing shortages. Seymour said while ACT championed the Treaty of Waitangi, Labour’s push towards dividing the country into “two groups of people” – tangata whenua and tangata tiriti – ran counter to the efforts of many over several hundred years to ensure each individual remained free and equal. He said the Government’s Three Waters plan made no sense. “It requires four or five layers of governance and that isn’t going to work. “The concept that you get seats at the table based on tangata whenua or tangata tiriti is not just a bad idea, it’s a positively dangerous one. All our ancestors were entrepreneurial enough to give everything up to come here for a better future. That is what defines us as New Zealanders. What is being proposed is totally inconsistent with that.” He described co-governance as ‘dangerous and divisive’.
ACT leader David Seymour at last week’s public meeting at Te Awa Lifecare Cambridge.
Concerns around rising levels of crime, increased cost of living and declining standards of education were a potent force driving growing migration numbers, he said. At the current rate, up to 100,000 were likely to leave a year, with up to a million believed to be considering leaving.
ACT would bring back charter schools and bring the education system back to a knowledge-based curriculum, he said. It would also repeal Three Waters and turn the immigration service role into one more akin to ‘recruitment agent rather than security guard’.

MORTGAGE MATTERS
Refinancing Your Mortgage
By Gavin Lynch – Yes Mortgages
Refinancing your mortgage is the process of changing your mortgage lending from your existing lender to a new lender. Refinancing is a common practice for any of these reasons: • You don’t like the lender you are with. You’ve experienced poor service, problems with staff, or high account fees. • You want to borrow more money but the lender won’t allow it. Perhaps you want to consolidate debt, borrow to purchase a rental property or a vehicle, or put working capital into a business. • You have ‘outgrown’ your existing lender and want to move forward. This is common for self-employed people with a growing business, or for investors with an increasing portfolio. • Your lender has asked you to refinance. You may be in arrears with mortgage repayments or you need to restructure your mortgage. Refinancing can involve costs such as break fees from the existing lender, solicitors’ fees, valuation charges etc, but we can help get cash contributions from your new lender to help offset these costs. At Yes Mortgages, we can outline the costs involved and find the best new lender to fit your current situation from the 25 or so different lenders available. In most instances, our service is FREE to you. Generally the benefits of refinancing outweigh the costs involved but bear in mind: Refinancing your mortgage must benefit and add value to YOU. Let us do the work to find you the best lender for your situation.

Anne Jagose’s family remember her as a strong woman who modelled compassion and hard work, who instilled in them values of service and generosity. She was an exceptional dresser, fierce and courageous, a ‘hit-and-miss’ cook who insisted being together was more important than the food, and always up for a good story. One, recalled daughter Una Jagose at Anne’s Requiem Mass in Wellington last Friday, had young impressionable minds wavering, uncertain. “She would drive us everywhere … making up stories to entertain us. ‘I am not your mother, I am a witch’, she would say. She said it in such a way that I was never really sure …” Anne died in Wellington on July 11, aged 90. She had lived there for the past few years, leaving behind a life rich with memories, many of them made in Cambridge over almost 40 years. Life for Anne started prematurely in Ireland, one of 11 children and so small that she fitted into a shoebox. Early anxiety around her survival gave way to an enjoyable childhood before she went to London aged 17 to study nursing. Her leadership and compassion shone, and Anne was the youngest new graduate nurse of her time to become a matron. It was at a party at the nurses’ hostel that she met Rustom Jagose, known as ‘Rusty’, a Bombay-born medical student of Persian descent with the world in his sights. The two married in 1956 and, as was the custom, the groom took his bride back to the family in Bombay to live for a while. Determined to give it a year, Anne rattled family convention by taking a nursing job. The couple came to New Zealand in the late 1950s where Rusty took up a role at Dunedin Hospital. As the family grew, they shifted to Greymouth, Ashburton and Hamilton before settling in Cambridge in the early 1970s and
Anne Jagose, who ran the annual Cambridge Speech and Drama Competition, was known for her strength and style.
opening a medical practice from their home. It was here that their five children flourished. Pheroze, Maki, Annamarie, Una and Fiona were blessed with parents who encouraged individuality and forged a commitment to reading, debate and robust discussion. The girls attended St Peter’s Catholic School in Cambridge and Sacred Heart Girls in Hamilton, while Pheroze attained a boarding scholarship to St Patrick’s College in Silverstream. Anne ran the annual Cambridge Speech and Drama Competition until it was disbanded. “She was a good teacher,” said Una. “We all went through speech and drama.” All five went on to become exceptionally high-achievers across the legal, medical and educational professions. Pheroze is a High Court judge, sitting in Auckland; Maki recently
retired from her general medical practice on the Kapiti Coast; Annamarie is the University of Sydney’s provost and deputy vice-chancellor; Una is New Zealand’s solicitor-general, having headed the country’s spy agency; and Fiona works as an expatriate teacher in Oman. Anne was deeply proud of them all. Following her husband’s death more than 30 years ago, she kept the home together while continuing to work in nursing and management for Cambridge aged care residence homes. Anne was always stylish and a good sport, up for anything. Una remembers her taking part in short, silly films which ‘left us gasping with laughter’. “She kept us secure. She laughed easily, was a master of many classic oneliners. We will miss the fullness of her amazing character … this funny, loving, elegant woman.”

Our riders aiming for gold in Israel Last week we reported fundraising had started to get six Cambridge area cyclists to Israel next month for the Junior World Track Championships. Today we look at the six athletes who have been selected. Jaxson Russell is a year 13 Cambridge High School student who was selected for the 2021 Junior World Sprints Team which did not travel because of Covid. His resume includes being part of the record-holding Under-19 men’s sprint team and he holds the U17 Men’s Flying 200 record. Luke Blackwood is a year 13 St Peter’s School named in the national development track squad. Having competed at a national level in triathlon and duathlon in his early teenage years, and after winning national U16 duathlon champs in 2019, he moved his focus to road and then in 2020 to road & track cycling. Last year as a first year U19 rider he was selected for the national development track squad for endurance and had never really considered sprinting, until Jason Russell (Jaxson’s dad and a cycling coach) suggested he give it a try this February. With nationals (the selection event for junior worlds) only six weeks away Luke made a temporary move to Cambridge
to do a ‘crash course’ in sprinting with the help of Jason and elite sprint cyclist, Shaane Fulton. Proving it was all worthwhile, at the nationals he podiumed in multiple sprint events and set a record for the U19 Men Flying 200m. Liam Cavanagh is in his first year at Waikato University and is the national U19 Men’s sprint champion. He has also been selected for the national development track squad. Lewis Johnston is in year 13 at St Peter’s School. He is a road and track cyclist who captains an academy for track and road and rides for the Te Awamutu Sports Cycling Club. Has been cycling for seven years starting in year 7 when he was 11 years old as a cross country mountain biker then moved to the track. He quit track to take road cycling seriously when he was a first year U17 rider. Later into his second year as an U17 rider, he started to get coaching from Waipā’s Mike Davis who convinced him to get back into track cycling. He has moved his ranking from top 25 in track events to the top five. Kyle Aitken is a Cambridge High School leaver 2021 who was another selected for Junior Worlds Endurance Team last year, when the team did not attend because of Covid. He started track cycling in December 2018 after watching his uncle race for gold at the World Masters Games. There
have been a few ups and downs along the way, but the biggest one was when he crashed during a Madison training and suffered a bad concussion, taking him out of cycling for over eight weeks. Oliver Watson-Palmer is a St Peters School leaver who was an avid runner and competed in triathlons, trampolining and athletics before turning to cycling. He has experience of riding in Europe and is the elite Under 19 Team pursuit national champion 2022 and won the national track series.His short term goal is to win a medal at the junior world track championships and continue on a pathway to becoming a professional cyclist. It’s up to each rider to fund their way to Israel and they have embarked on team projects as they seeks to raise about $16,500 each. A third training camp for the group will be held in Cambridge this month and the team heads to Israel on August 14.

Time for tea
The Chinese accepted the medicinal values of tea as early as the fourth century BC. Wild tea leaves were gathered from trees and bushes and combined with water to produce a tonic. During the Ming dynasty (1368-1644 AD) it was found that covering the leaves and steeping them in hot water produced a more flavoursome brew. Thus, the first teapot was developed. Farmers began cultivating small tea bushes to keep up with the demand and a system of drying and processing gradually developed. In the third century BC a Chinese surgeon recommended drinking tea to increase concentration and alertness. Well, we all love a cuppa whether we think it will keep us alert or relax us. But tea also has many other uses. In China some teas are used as the cooking liquid for noodles. Tea also makes a great marinade; dry leaves can be used as a base for smoking fish, poultry, meats, vegetables or cheese; combined with spices, tea makes a tasty meat rub for barbecues; add it to bakes and desserts for flavour; or for hard-boil eggs, crack the shells and cook in tea for that marbled look. Then of course there are numerous novel uses for left-over tea — rinse your hair for shine, reduce under-eye bags, relieve insect bite pain, or use as mulch around plants and add to compost. TEA-POACHED CHICKEN A Chinese-inspired dish. 1 cup prepared black tea 1 tablespoon honey 2 tablespoons soy sauce 1 clove garlic, crushed 3cm knob root ginger, peeled and thinly sliced 1/2-1 red chilli, seeded and sliced 500g skinned and boned chicken breast Combine all the ingredients — except the chicken — in a large frying pan. Simmer for 2 minutes.

A dog trialling daredevil
By Steph Bell-Jenkins
His wife describes him as a cat with nine lives. “And she says I’ve used all of them up,” he said. A stroppy horse flipped over backwards while he was riding it. He watched the ground screaming up at him from an aeroplane cockpit and escaped the vertical dive with just 50m to spare. An irate cow attacked him and damaged one of his kidneys. He beat bowel cancer. And he nearly drowned in the sea at Mercury Bay. He has had more shaves with death than he can count on one hand. “He’s a risk taker,” his wife Margaret said. “He loves the challenge of a risk. It’s much more exciting than walking a straight line.” But balancing out his thrill-seeking side are the quieter aspects of his personality, highlighted by his two great passions: gardening and working stock with sheepdogs. Michael Oliver is a dog triallist and a daredevil. The 79-year-old, who grew up on a hilly 404-hectare sheep and beef farm in Whitehall and has lived there most of his life, has been competing in sheepdog trials for 60 years. It’s the connection between man (or woman) and dog he loves most about the sport. “When dogs’ natural instincts are brought under useful control I love the way they can manage the movement of livestock,” he said. “When they know what they’re doing they can be extremely helpful like that, and that is a great joy to me, when you can work as a team with your dog and not as an authoritarian boss.” An agricultural institution that gained national exposure through the New Zealand television
programme “A Dog’s Show” (1977–1992), sheep dog trialling involves guiding small mobs of sheep through a series of paddock obstacles and into a pen. Competitors can use only a dog and whistle to achieve the task and must not touch the sheep. Michael bought his first sheepdog when he left school in 1960 and headed to the Wairarapa 18 months later to take a shepherding job. After watching one of the local sheepdog trials he looked up one of the winners in the phone book, got himself invited to dinner and gleaned some great tips. “So that got me off to a fairly good start,” he said. Ever since then he’s been wringing every bit of advice and information he can from top competitors. After 60 years in the sport, the best guidance he can give is: “try and get inside a dog’s head and work with it”. Michael achieved one of his most memorable wins with a dog named Clancy. “I represented New Zealand against Australia at the very first inter-dominion test at the Auckland Easter Show in 1974 with Clancy the day after my daughter Kate was born,” Michael said. His current heading dog, Jack, is a descendant of Clancy. Michael got his private pilot’s licence at 17 and relishing the thrill of aerobatics and low-level flying, briefly considered a career in aerial topdressing. “But I saw people sitting around at the aero club and that put me off,” he said. “That wasn’t me; I liked to be doing things.” Farming has always been Michael’s number one career choice, but it’s high country that really lights his fire. Whitehall’s rolling green hills are a far cry from the rugged

development and my only way out was grazing other people’s stock,” he said. He and Margaret borrowed heavily to upgrade the farms’ tracking and
Dairy grazing was what saved the property and allowed us to develop it to a high standard and eventually sell for a very good price.” He and Margaret sold 347 hectares in 2015 and are now farming the remaining 57 hectares, running highland cattle and self-shearing Wiltshire sheep. He has trained about 120 sheepdogs altogether and had about 10 open sheepdog trial winners. But he can’t possibly pick a favourite. “That’s like asking me to choose which one of my kids I like best,” he said. Michael’s dedication to his sport has seen him host the Cambridge Sheepdog Trial Club’s annual competitions on his Whitehall farm for 24 years. He has also hosted the Cambridge Classic sheepdog trial every year for the past 14 years. But an era ended on the Olivers’ farm in June when Michael and Margaret hosted their last trial. “We’ve just got too old,” Michael said. “And there are other things we want to do. We want to go to the beach, we want to ride our bicycles and do things for the grandchildren. And our garden takes a lot of work.” However, he has no plans to give up competing in a sport he’s loved for six decades. Michael is a member of the Cambridge Writers’ Group and loves penning poetry and stories in his spare time. Not that he has much of that. He still works about 11 hours a day on the farm and in his garden. “There’s a Māori proverb: time to sleep when you’re dead,” he said.

Ohaupo’s extraordinary ‘bird woman’ By Viv Posselt
Thirty-one years ago, Judy Fentress’s Ōhaupō neighbour brought her a duck egg he suggested she pop under a desk lamp. Twenty-eight days later, when the egg began making strange noises, she called her farming neighbour. “His wife came over and the two of us sat on the floor with the desk lamp and a bottle of wine and hatched a baby.” That tiny duckling launched Judy’s long devotional to birds. Her growing curiosity took her to the Ōtorohanga Kiwi House, where she was treasurer for 15 years and earned herself an honorary life membership. She set up Judy’s Bird Nursery, taking in sick and injured birds and becoming one of very few DOC-registered native bird rescuers in the Waikato. At full tilt she looks after hundreds of birds in 21 aviaries built to exacting DOC requirements, and hatches up to 20,000 a year in the five controlled incubators spread across the rural property she shares with husband Dave. Her DOC commitment includes keeping records on where each native bird came from and where it is released. The set-up includes a clinic area, food store and shed, and Judy houses disabled and injured birds, and ‘bird-sits’ others while their owners are away. A symbiotic relationship with Fish
A delighted Judy welcomes another chick, just hours old. & Game NZ sees her incubate and hatch mallard and grey teal duck eggs, then hand-feed them for two weeks before returning them to Fish & Game who raise them to adulthood before releasing them. In return, Fish & Game provide food for any fish-eating birds she may be caring for. Her lengthy co-operation with the
Ōtorohanga Kiwi House is boosted with the relationship she shares with local veterinarians. She gets advice and assistance from those quarters, but runs the operation almost entirely single-handedly. The venture is self-funded and Judy, now in her 70s, is heavily reliant on donations. It’s a tough 24/7 schedule she is determined
to keep going. “I am amazed at how many unique birds there are living in New Zealand, found nowhere else in the world. I want to do whatever I can to protect them for as long as I can.” She and Dave are a high-energy couple who balance the birds with other forms of occupation.
They grew up on neighbouring farms in Colorado. Dave went into systems-related information and technology and Judy into finance. They worked in Zurich for 20 years, and even there Judy tapped into her ‘rescue gene’ by running a hedgehog rescue centre. They came to New Zealand in 1991 and both still work in Eagle Computer Support, a company they started in 1995 with Judy offering accounting packages and Dave handling the technical support side. On top of all that, she still finds time for her non-avian hobby, 3D photography; she is secretary/ treasurer of The Stereoscopic Society of NZ. A tour of the aviaries reveals Judy’s intimate knowledge of each bird. Escorted all the time by a rescue turned ‘security guard’, a protective paradise duck called Mrs P, she relates each one’s story. Judy also breeds exotic and show birds to help raise funds and keeps on site a vast array of foods suited to each type of bird. Earlier this month, Judy released Morley the rescued morepork during the ‘Project Ruru’ weekend at Tauwhare’s Sculpture Park. She also hatched and raised ‘Pookster’ the pukeko which starred in one of the award-winning Genesis TV commercials, trained for the role by animal trainer Mark Vette.

Making the difference By Benjamin Wilson
A father’s passion for parts and customer support has landed him a finalist for the 2022 John Deere Technician of the Year Award. Ben McShane, a parts technician for Cambridge John Deere Dealership AGrowQuip, will join two other finalists from the South Island in Brisbane next month. The trip, courtesy of John Deere, will offer the technicians parts and systems related training, prior to a winner being announced
on August 6. As a parts technician, McShane helps customers with parts related inquiries and often travels to their farms to do so. McShane’s manager Hemi George, and customer John Austin, nominated him for the award. “When we are on, we are 24/7, it doesn’t stop and we don’t sleep, Ben has a big area to cover, and he does that very very well,” said George. He said that McShane often works 50-hour
weeks, but drastically exceeds those hours during the industry’s busy September to April period. He said that the customer support offered by AGrowQuip is what sets them apart from their competitors, and that McShane shares that belief. “It is what we do, it is who we are, it is great to have people like Ben come through and have that same desire to improve and have such a strong customer focus,” said George. “There is a lot of competition in what we do, the thing that makes a difference is how we support our customers on the parts and services side of things.” McShane, 24, had little knowledge of the agriculture sector prior to working for AGrowQuip.
“I was young, floating around, and didn’t know what to do,” he said. “I thought I’d try it out, and five years later I am still going.” He started off as a storeman, helping with general tasks around the dealership and worked his way up to technician position. His favourite model of tractor the John Deere 9700 self-propelled Harvester. He shares his love of tractors with his 16-monthold son Leo, who often plays with the toy models that his work sells. McShane said in addition to the training provided and the trip to Australia, the winning parts technician will receive a $5000 prize. And if he wins, he plans to use the money for a trip with Leo and his partner Devon.

A new way of living
COMING SOON e g d i r b m a C To
REGISTER YOUR INTEREST NOW Ryman’s newest retirement village is coming soon to Cambridge Road. Register your interest to be one of the first to hear when townhouse plans are released, later this year. Our Cambridge Village will offer you the opportunity to live independently alongside a supportive community in one of our beautiful two or three-bedroom townhouses. Once completed, the village will also offer the extra support of a serviced apartment, and resthome, hospital and specialist dementia care, all within the same village community. You’ll love the security of a Ryman village, the feeling of camaraderie, and the endless activities and events available. Plus, amenities such as an all-weather bowling green, heated indoor swimming pool, café, hair and beauty salon and movie theatre mean there’s always something to do or someone to meet. It’s a lifestyle you can thrive in, and for those local to the area, it’s the perfect opportunity to enjoy our village within your local village.
Artist impressions may differ from final designs.
