Cost pressures are everywhere – from supply chain delays for materials, price increases across the board, the cost of staff both new and existing, soaring land prices and the cost of money.
Newly elected members will have little time to celebrate their success at the polling booth with inflation soaring above 7.3 per cent for the first time in more than 30 years and well above the 2.4 to 3.2 per cent factored into the council’s Long Term Plan last year.

Meanwhile on the western side of the district plans for Te Ara Wai Museum and the Pirongia-Ngāroto-Te Awamutu cycling connections are among projects which could be pushed back.
“Identifying cost savings and sensible risk management processes will be a priority,” said Dyet, who then looked at how much capital the council could realistically spend in a prudent manner.
Waipā’s debt levels are half what they were expected to be which means when council does go to lenders to fund its capital programmes - most caused by developer and market demand - the cash will cost more than forecast.
Knowing what elected officials’ appetite will be is going to be critical, he said, and hence the candidate briefing in advance.

In response to a reader’s letter and comments about Clyde Graf’s campaign agenda. I read that letter with dismay and concern.Democracy and three waters were mentioned. One needs to think a bit deeper and drill down into what’s really going on in this country. We must also stop pulling the race card and using the treaty as a firewall for the facts and hidden agendas. If someone truly believes in democracy they should be appalled at what Ms Mahuta is pushing through with three waters. It is the epitome of antidemocratic behaviour. To take control of assets then put in place a “governance structure” that gives iwi ultimate control should be very worrying. We need to work together, not fracture this country even more.

This fluoride subject is done and dusted. Our Health Ministry has made the decision. We don’t need any more meetings councillors. Just do it.
I also don’t think it is of any value to ask citizens for their opinions unless those who are opposed give reasons. My guess is they will have one or more of three strongly held views. They are:

No one has the right to medicate me without my express permission. Yes they do, and in the greater good already do so. Iodine and folic acid are added to both salt and bread under Government decree to combat thyroid issues and spina bifida. How many knew or could argue with that?
I trust social media more than my doctor or dentist. Sorry I have no words for this contagion.
Robert Martynoga (Letters, September 8) appears to be living in the dark ages if he thinks that those opposed to fluoride are wrong to be unconvinced by the Ministry of Health’s weak arguments.
A point of clarification. This beautiful park, in its entirety, is our town’s dedicated, WWII War Memorial. It was funded in conjunction with the War Memorial Grants scheme offered by the Department of Internal Affairs on the condition that it be “vested” in the local authority, for perpetual maintenance.
As an example: the implementation of this plan will see our pond, arguably the dominant feature of our park, along with its stone humpy bridge, island, waterfall, and all other surrounding stonework, vanish completely, only to be replaced by a “wetland” similar to the swamp which existed previously.

The ill will you have observed within the community (some of it mis-directed toward mana whenua) will not abate with the implementation of this ill-conceived new plan. Rather it will be inflamed, when the huge majority become aware they’ve been betrayed, and placated by bureaucratic rhetoric.
I would suggest that Robert should start by reviewing the 75 of 86 human fluoride IQ studies that show a lowering of IQ. 24 of those papers have been published in the past 3 years alone. We should follow the science where the NTP has stated in its draft report, reviewing fluoride’s neurotoxicity that “fluoride is a presumed developmental neurotoxin”. We should listen to the US EPA’s go-to expert on Lead’s neurotoxicity, Dr Bruce Lanphear. He co-authored an Op-ed in October 2020 titled “It is time to protect kids’ developing brains from fluoride” and states that we need to “rethink this exposure for pregnant women andThechildren.”solution to poor tooth decay can be found in the Scotland Childsmile program. The Childsmile approach can be used in a targeted way and get to the children that are most at risk. The shotgun fluoridation approach is archaic. I commend those candidates that have been willing to stand up to the Ministry of Health’s misinformation.
Hardly a sympathetic restoration, and not an improvement. (Abridged)

It seems normal transmission has resumed. I had major technical headaches last week with my email system, my carrier pigeon was sick and the Pony Express no longer operates so I was unable to write my column. Thanks to Deb for writing in my stead.Inmy last column I talked about burglaries and the need to report any suspicious behaviour. A great example of this is during this week when a male was seen walking on a rural road. With the wonders of modern technology in the form of CCTV we have been able to identify a
burglar who is active at the moment. I use this incident to highlight the importance of calling us when you see something.

“Well done for the effort that you have made and for putting this all together. I think it will be a really neat thing,” said chair, Angela Holt.
The lowering of flags to half-mast last week was not an automatic process – it required instructions for both government departments and the Armed Forces. In the case of Te Awamutu’s Memorial Park and Anzac Green, the instructions came after those from central government, which is why those flags were not run at half-mast on Friday.

The annual inflation rate in the UK is around 9 per cent. One recent forecast said it could reach 18 per cent in 2023. That probably won’t happen now as one of the first measures the new PM took was to put a cap on household energy bills.

“I am intending to make it a destination point for our kura and marae…it will help them to get a chronology of the timeline for their community,” said Harold.
The heritage signs will be part of the Te Ara Wai Journeys project, and could feature QR codes that will lead to further audio-visual information online.
The cap means these bills can only double, they won’t be able to treble, as had looked possible. Even with this measure, UK’s inflation rate will still be one of the highest in Europe next year.
Most of the economic promises made are still to be seen and I doubt that they will ever be seen. In economic terms, Brexit must count as the worst ‘own-goal’ any country has imposed on itself.

This last point got me thinking about how the recent economic performance in the Republic of Ireland compared to that of the UK. Until 2005, GDP per capita was higher in the UK than it was in Ireland. But in 2021, GDP per capita in Ireland was more than double that in the UK. Ireland was US$99,000 per person and the UK was US$47,500 per person. That’s an extraordinary turnaround. Ireland has been able to do very well economically within the EU.

The UK’s government debt level was already high at around 95 per cent of gross domestic product before this package. New Zealand’s government debt level is 21.3 per cent of GDP by comparison.

The Brexiteers also promised that leaving the EU would strengthen the Union. With the ascension to the throne of Charles III, the United Kingdom is again a Kingdom. But it does not look much like a United Kingdom.

“We have no choice in some instances, and do try to reduce bureaucracy where we can. I believe we have achieved some success in that,” Mylchreest said.
Coles made the original comments at a Grey Power candidates’ meeting last week. St Peter’s School immediately countered them and after questions from The News, Coles was rebuked by mayor Jim Mylchreest.Colestold Monday’s meeting: “The issue of a third bridge was raised and I made a statement which included describing some of the land about where potential locations of a third bridge could be. I understand that some of those present perceived my comments as suggesting that I had negotiated securing land from St Peter’s on behalf of council for a bridge.

Concerns around local government bureaucracy, support for business, youth opportunities, and balancing growth with the preservation of Waipā’s core values were expressed at Monday’s ‘Meet the next Waipā Mayor’ gathering at the Cambridge Town Hall.About 90 people attended the event, organised jointly by the Cambridge Chamber of Commerce and the Cambridge Town Hall Community Trust.
Mayoral candidate Susan O’Regan promised to bring a pragmatic style of leadership to the role if elected, saying she understood the challenges being faced by businesses today. She pledged to build a strong relationship between council and the business sector.
“It was my understanding that St Peter’s were open to having discussions with council in the future about a potential location for a third bridge, which the school has since clarified is not the case. I appreciate the school clarifying their position and apologise for any misunderstanding on my part.”
Māori Ward candidates Gaylene Roberts and Bill Harris spoke to ongoing relationships between iwi and the council. Roberts described as a ‘massive achievement’ the fact there was finally a Māori ward after 30 years’ trying to establish one.
It is understood fellow district councillors discussed a code of conduct complaint, in Cole’s absence, on Tuesday.
‘unnecessarily bureaucratic’ was countered by Mylchreest, who said as Woodhams had not been inside council before, he would be unaware that bureaucracy stemming from central government had long frustrated everyone in council.

“We have put our best foot forward; it is now up to them to judge. It is trusting that they can hopefully not be swayed by a loud minority, who have a place in the waste scheme of things, to take a broad enough view of the waste environment to see that we do have a part to play.”Fletcher said they were required to provide clarification around the plant’s acoustics, transportation movements, its potential impact to local roads and intersections, its impact on local water infrastructure, and their management of stormwater outflow, amongst other“Theythings.can still come back and ask us more questions, but only about questions that they’ve already asked, they can’t ask any new ones,” he said.
Fletcher says that communicating the plant’s role in the recycling and waste landscape is difficult.“Thatis the hard part, people have their views, which they’re entitled to, we just hope that they take a broad enough understanding of this technological approach to practical waste management.”
Waikato Regional Councillors are looking to improve that service. They have been told 20 minutes can be shaved off the usual one-hour peak time bus commuting journey between Cambridge and Hamilton.
A rise was to be expected even though June and July had been down eight and seven percent.
Bus patronage between Waipā and Hamilton showed encouraging signs last month.
Figures for August on numbers who took the bus between Te Awamutu and Hamilton showed a whopping 97 per cent jump on the same month in 2021.

Their proposed power plant, dubbed Paewira, is designed to incinerate 150,000 tonnes of waste derived fuel annually, extract recyclable materials and produce 15 megawatts of power. That would power Te Awamutu’s homes in theGlobalsummer.Contracting Solutions submitted the requested information to the councils on September 1.

On August 17 2021, the country was put into a Covid lockdown, and stayed there for the rest of the month, so it was inevitable figures would be better in August 2022.

Global Contracting Solutions (GCS) applied for resource consent to build a waste to energy plant on Te Awamutu’s Racecourse Road in February. The company was required to complete a “section 92” request for additional information by both the Waikato Regional Council and Waipā District Council.
A plan to do that would involve dedicated bus lanes, fewer stops, route changes, hourly services starting and finishing earlier and later in the day and better passenger waiting facilities.

She did so without putting a footI’vewrong.been inspired by Her Majesty my whole life and have been an avid Royalist for as long as I can remember. Monarchy offers us a stability and continuity which we should prize more than ever in these ever-changing and unstable times; not only can we trace the lineage of our Sovereign back around 1000 years, but also we can also see our future in their children and grandchildren. From childhood royal children are given the knowledge of legislative and constitutional affairs needed to one day govern and are instilled with unwavering notions of service and duty.
Early on Friday morning I was awoken by a devastating phone call. Her Majesty the Queen had passed away. The shock hit me like a tidal wave, it’s something we all knew would happen one day but as I write this only a few hours on from that phone call it still feels unreal, not least because we saw her up and about at Balmoral welcoming the new British Prime Minister just days earlier. So how can I adequately pay tribute to a life so long lived in service of our country and our Commonwealth family and in which so much was achieved?

Queen Elizabeth II exemplified these principles of service and duty. She lived a life few of us can imagine - working literally until her last days. Several times each day boxes of state papers and laws needing Royal Assent would arrive for her, regular audiences (many held over Zoom in more recent times) had to be held with foreign diplomats and incoming and outgoing public officials.

Your current standing councillors Stu Kneebone and Barry Quayle have just ap proved the secretive budget blow-out. But more concerning, both councillors have voted to keep the reasoning for their decision suppressed from ratepayers. The same ratepayers that will fund their project for the next 15 years. There appears to be a trend of excessive and reckless spending by councillors Kneebone and Quayle. Both have just approved the 2022—2023 rates increase of 7.7%. That’s on top of the high Inflation rates we’re all facing.

The current process of appointing people to boards and committees based on race, rather than merit, Is divisive and feels like apartheid. We should be able to raise this issue and discuss it openly, without the fear of being labelled a racist. There needs to be open debate and reasoning so that the public can be made aware of just what is taking place and why it’s taking place. I stand for an inclusive Waikato, where any person can achieve great things - based on experi ence, qualifications, and merit - not race. Vote Clyde Graf for Waikato Regional Council.

The Three Waters reform currently being rushed through parliament, must be stopped. The structure and boundaries of the planned co-governed entities are undemocratic. The Water Services Entities Bill removes local control over water management and signals privatisation.
Operation Reboot is an information system that is designed to make Regional Coun cil’s work easier. It was first approved by Regional Council in 2019, at an agreed cost of around $10 million. However, as the costs have continued to skyrocket, so too has the desire to keep the justification for the excessive spending, suppressed. What was a $10 million tech upgrade is now a $20 million blow-out - resulting in a 15 year community debt burden. In summary - a $10 million ratepayer project, blown out to over $20 million, to be paid off over 15 years. And given the speed of technology advancement, for an information system that may be obsolete within 5 years.

A bit about me I have lived in the Hamilton/Waipa area for the last 27 years. I grew up in and around Te Urewera National Park. I learned bush craft and about our environment, from an early age.
In 1997, with brother Steve and father Egon, I started filming and producing outdoors DVDs and TV series under The Graf Boys name. We have been sponsored by many NZ outdoors brands over the years.
That’s almost 11% less than what your current councillors have just approved. A vote for me is a vote to keep rates down, and to ensure transparency on all impor tant council decisions. That’s a promise! Vote for Clyde Graf for Waikato Regional
In 2004, with my brother Steve, I was commissioned by NZ Police and NZ Mountain Safety Council, to produce a feature-length firearms and outdoors safety DVD titled On Target (released in 2005).
Achievements in Council - During my term in Council our team achieved rates reductions, not increases. We formed the Coromandel Aquaculture Forum, increased regional funding for surf life-saving, delivered increased funding for rural weather bomb events, removed council-collected TB rates, and I led the working group that delivered the result for the Graham’s Creek flood management project. What I stand for - I support farming. I believe farmers need all the help and support they can get, and deserve the carrot, not the stick. I’m opposed to Three Waters, and opposed to unelected, race-based governance appointments. I’m ratepayer focused, not a lapdog. I’m a hard worker, and I get results. I have the backbone to represent the difficult issues, and the focus to deliver tangible and transparent results for the ratepayer. Vote for me, and I’ll work hard for you. That’s a promise too!
The spending of ratepayers’ money should be a cautious process. Surely it’s a councillor’s duty to ensure that the ratepayer is made aware of important spending decisions. When making those decisions, a councillor should surely use a strategy that works toward rates reductions, rather than huge rates increases. In times like these, affordability should be on the minds of all councillors. Affordability is espe cially important for those that are struggling.

It is a discussion group rather than a grief support or counselling session.
However,death.it seems more appropriate now to talk about corgis. I am sure we were all shocked to hear of the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, early on Friday morning New Zealand time.
Although we had been aware that she was experiencing mobility issues and was looking frail, there was no sign of weakness in the pictures we saw of her recent meeting with Lizz Truss.
At the moment we are surrounded by the outpouring of grief from across the world at the loss of our Queen.
We are able to hear our own sentiments expressed by others and be reminded of our memories from old newsreels. We can share our feelings with many around us, because we are all experiencing this death.

For many reasons, not least of which is the Covid pandemic, grief and death seem to have become something that happens in hospitals and behind closed doors.

If you’ve had COVID-19, you can get your booster three months after you tested positive. Make sure you are up to date with your COVID-19 vaccinations. Check your eligibility at Covid19.govt.nz or call 0800 28 29 26.
Keeping up to date with your vaccinations is really important, even if you’ve already had COVID-19.
A booster will provide extra protection from a previous vaccination and help your immunity be stronger and last longer. And, by staying as healthy as you can, you help reduce pressure on our communities, businesses and the health sector.
You can catch COVID-19 more than once. Boosters help protect you from getting very sick from COVID-19, ending up in hospital, and even death. Keeping up to date with your vaccinations is one of the most important things you can do to help protect yourself, your whānau and your community.
Mylchreest also warned of the dangers of only looking at the big picture.
over private property rights that will cause a negative backlash within the community.”
The expectation that iwi will determine their level of engagement is unfair to them not only from a resourcing perspective but also in determining the level of biodiversity protection, he says.
“Once again the community has not been well informed and appears to be another centralist model,” the mayor, who has been a strident campaigner against the Three Waters reform Mylchreestsays. was heavily involved in establishing the Maungatautari Ecological Island Project and has been involved in projects associated with peat lakes and remnant bush stands in TheWaipa.draft policy statement proposes providing $19 million funding and making landowners stewards of the land and tangata whenua Mylchreestkaitiaki. said there is little information in the statement on how the proposals are to be funded “and the $19m mentioned is infinitesimal and would only equate to less than $300,000 per council area”
That could only be achieved by the removal of all introduced plant, insect and animal pests. He says it is difficult to comment on the recommendations until it is determined how the reform of the Resource Management Act “will play out” – but he says the country cannot wait another 10 years to establish significant natural areas (SNA’s) before making progress on protecting biodiversity.
“From my experience with the Maungatautari Project and other conservation initiatives in Waipa over the last 40 years the simple preservation of existing habitats from further degradation from grazing by stock, runoff from surrounding land or development pressures does virtually nothing to safeguard the 4000 or so identified threatened species.
And he suggests the plan presents as a rushed one-size-fits-all model that he does not believe would gain support.
The mayor says time constraints imposed by the Ministry of Conservation prevented his council from responding.
“Whilst intensive species management is essential for critically endangered species, such as the kākāpō, a shift is required away from a focus on our iconic mega flora and fauna to total ecosystem management that contain self-supporting populations of a variety of indigenous species that would have been found in any pristine environment unaffected by human disturbance.”
Waipā mayor Jim Mylchreest has made a personal submission on criticising Draft National Policy Statement for Indigenous TheBiodiversity.draftNPS-IB sets out how to identify Significant Natural Areas (SNA’s) which must be protected, including on private land.
“It seems that we need a two-tier system to enable an immediate start on the critically endangered ecosystems and a more considered longer term plan.”
‘One size’ plan criticised
The cost to establish the conservation “island” at Maungatautari and annual costs is close to the total funding suggested in the plan.
Federated Farmers says the plan released in June is an improvement on a previous one, but they have also taken issue with the budget proposed. The Feds were part of a cross-sector Biodiversity Collaborative Group (BCG) that made recommendations to the government on the Mylchreestissue.noted the cost to provide a pest proof fence and eradicate all mammalian pests at Maungatautari was in the order of $14m and now required an annual operating budget of between $1.2m and $1.5m.
He warns the proposals will further inflame relations between iwi and private landowners following on from the Three Waters debate.

The lack of any meaningful commentary on how the NPS-IB is to be funded “would tend to indicate that there is an expectation that in fact the costs will be imposed on local communities and individuals and not from central Taranakigovernment”.RegionalCouncillors were told by staff in August the implementation plan for the proposal was woefully inadequate, represented a lot of smoke and mirrors and flagged significant cost shifts to councils.

“Figures show more than 50 per cent of motorcyclists deregister and put their bikes away over the winter months,” Keilty says. “September is when most riders get their bikes out of the garage after storing them during winter.”

Highways get upgrades
Associate Minister for ACC Willie Jackson launched Motorcycle Awareness Month on September 1, with a display of helmets to mark the 50 riders and pillions killed on New Zealand’s roads every year.
The upgrades for each road are recommended by Waka Kotahi and approved by ACC. Funding comes from the Motorcycle Safety Levy (MSL), which riders contribute to through their motorcycle registration fee.
Rural highways are being upgraded as part of a programme targeting high-risk routes for Themotorcyclists.$6.3million safety improvements on sections of 25 rural roads are part of a joint venture between ACC and Waka Kotahi called the Road and Roadsides programme. ACC injury prevention partner and Ride Forever programme manager David Keilty says motorcyclists make up just three per cent of road users in New Zealand but account for 20 per cent of road-related injury Researchclaims.also shows the likelihood of death or serious injury for motorcyclists is 21 times higher than a car driver travelling over the same distance.
Theoccur.road improvements involve a range of motorcycle-friendly safety measures, such as installing rub rails on existing roadside barriers; installing or replacing signs; sealing driveways; installing LCD panels; and removing trees.
ACC data shows motorcycle-related claims generally increase in September, which is why it is Motorcycle Awareness Month – an initiative run by ACC and the Motorcycle Safety Awareness Council (MSAC) to celebrate the start of the “riding season” and encourage riders to get “ride-ready”. The initiative encourages riders to pay more attention, especially at intersections, as more bikes take to the road.
ACC is one of the partners in the Government’s Road to Zero campaign, which sets a target of reducing annual roadrelated deaths and serious injuries by 40 per cent by 2030.

I added sumac (a slightly astringent, lemon flavour reddishpurple berry which is finely crushed) to a salad dressing for canned beans; sprinkled it over rice; and coated chicken portions before baking. Its flavour is very popular and can easily replace lemon juice in savoury recipes. The container of pumpkin seeds (pepitos) bought a couple of months ago for nibbles and forgotten, required a little imagination. The seeds were pounded into a perfect pesto making a nutritional powerhouse that tasted terrific. My bottle of date syrup needed to be finished before it went sugary. So it replaced golden syrup in my traditional recipe for that comfort food Sticky Date Pudding — delish.
