MPs names missing By Mary Anne Gill
Three elected Waipā district members of Parliament have been left off a story board in Garden Place, Hamilton which honours Waikato’s female MPs. The omission of Katherine O‘Regan, Louise Upston and Barbara Kuriger is even more bewildering because featured on the board is New Zealand First’s Barbara Stewart, who lived in Cambridge during her 12 years as a List MP. Now the organiser of the board, former Hamilton mayor Margaret Evans, is scrambling for explanations
on how the 'mystery' oversight of O’Regan occurred – she was on the final list - and is vowing to put it right. The statue of the legendary Dame Hilda Ross was unveiled in October 2020 with the story board erected alongside it several months later. On the board’s list of Waikato MPs is Dame Hilda, Iriaka Ratana, Dorothy Jelicich, Marilyn Waring, Dianne Yates, Nanaia Mahuta, Margaret Wilson, Barbara Stewart and Sue Moroney. Of the three Waipā names missing, O’Regan’s is the most glaring as aside from
being an MP from 1984-1999, she was also in 1977 the first woman elected to the Waipā County Council and a member of the Te Awamutu Walk of Fame. “You have uncovered a mystery,” Evans told The News in reference to O’Regan’s omission. She supplied information sent to the Hamilton City Council when the copy for the story board was approved. O’Regan was on that list but missed off the final copy. “You will see that we had 10 women MPs in the final list. “My recall is that we retained Margaret Wilson
Katherine O’Regan because of her 'history making' as the first woman speaker and closely involved with Hamilton over many years, and therefore we had
to add in the other list MP Barbara Stewart (which also gave a cross-party theme).” Stewart was by then out of Parliament – she did two stints as a List MP – from 2002-2008 and 2011-2017. But Upston had been Taupō MP for 13 years – she entered Parliament in 2008 - and Kuriger seven as Taranaki-King Country‘s elected representative. The Taupō electorate, despite its name, includes the Waikato towns of Cambridge, Tokoroa and Putāruru. Taupō town is itself part of the Waikato Regional Council territorial authority – established in 1989 - but for sporting purposes, particularly rugby, is in King Country and for other sports, Bay of Plenty. The Taranaki-King Country electorate, again despite its name, includes Photo: Mary Anne Gill Te Awamutu which is as

Barbara Kuriger Waikato as mooloo bells and red, yellow and black hooped rugby jerseys. Other towns like Te Kuiti, Ōtorohanga and Inglewood are aligned in rugby parlance with King Country and Taranaki. Katherine O’Regan died in 2018 and her daughter Susan, now Waipā’s first female mayor, said she was unaware her mother had been left off the board and was surprised at the omission. Kuriger said it looked like an oversight to her that the Taranaki-King Country MP would not be included on the board. “Perhaps those who make the decisions about who is included could consider the geographics of the electorates and not just be guided by the names of them.”

Upston said it had been pointed out her name was missing. “It’s great that Dame Hilda was acknowledged with this statue. She was a staunch advocate for women and children and reducing poverty, and her portfolios were very similar to my current ones.” Upston chairs the Dame Hilda Ross Trust set up in the National Party to support and develop women leaders. “She and other Waikato women MPs have paved the way for women like me, and my contemporaries who work so hard on behalf of their constituents.” When the board gets updated, it would be an opportune time to set the record straight by listing all Waikato female MPs, said Upston. That would now include HanaRawhiti Maipi-Clarke who at 21 became the youngest woman ever elected to Parliament when she won the Hauraki Waikato electorate for Te Pāti Māori this month.
Evans said she and Toti (Theatre of the Impossible Trust) that organised the statue and the story board, went round in circles with the entire list and finally decided the focus was on Hamilton-Waikato. The final list (which included Katherine O’Regan but mysteriously left off the board) was: Dame Hilda Ross, the first Māori MP – Western Māori’s Iriaka Ratana (1949-69), Dorothy Jelicich (Hamilton West 1972-75), Marilyn Waring (Waipā 197584), Dianne Yates (Hamilton East 1993-2008), Nanaia Mahuta (Hauraki-Waikato 1996-2023), Margaret Wilson (List - 19992008), Barbara Stewart (2002-2008 and 2011-2017) and Sue Moroney (List 2005-17). Left off were: Rona Stevenson (Taupō 1963-1972), Jeanette Fitzsimons (Coromandel 19962010), Georgina Te Heuheu (Taupō 1996-2011), Steve Chadwick (Rotorua 1999-2011, mayor 2012-2022), Sandra Goudie (Coromandel 2002-2011, mayor 2016-2022), Upston and Kuriger.
On the beat
Three cars parked outside Hidden Lake Hotel at Lakewood were damaged when glass bottles and a broom stick were thrown at them about 2am Sunday. The News understands the incident was captured on CCTV and the footage has been handed to police.
Vercoe dies
Former Matamata Piako mayor and Waikato regional councillor Hugh Vercoe has died of cancer aged 80. He was mayor between 1998 and 2013 and then on the regional council until last year. Vercoe served as Waikato Civil Defence Emergency Management group chair from 2010. He was a director and shareholder in the Morrinsville News community newspaper. A service to celebrate his life will be held at the Morrinsville Events Centre tomorrow at 11am.
Costs up
Professional design services for the new Cambridge Wastewater Treatment Plant have been increased by $500,000 from $3.554 million which Waipā’s Service Delivery committee approved in May last year without any contingency. Hamilton-based Pattle Delamore Partners Ltd, an engineering and environmental consultancy, have undertaken unenvisaged professional services including additional physical groundwater monitoring and solar array design, Water Services strategic lead Robin Walker told Waipā’s Service Delivery committee.
Rally visits
The Targa New Zealand Rally was in the region this week as competitors negotiated Aspin, Te Miro, Waterworks, Mangere and Pukewhau roads.
Man charged
A 44-year-old Cambridge man has been remanded in custody to face a series of charges in court in Hamilton next month. Sergeant Ben Joll said a search of the vehicle the man was driving uncovered methamphetamine, cannabis, a pistol, knife and drug paraphernalia. He had been stopped after complaints from the public about erratic driving.

Teamwork gets results I hope everyone relaxed over Labour weekend and had safe travels. Last week we had another good catch with help from members of the public. A young person escaped from the custody of his caregiver and tried to make a getaway. He stole a vehicle but was immediately seen by police and fled. Members of the public quickly highlighted his route and soon after we learnt that the vehicle had been dumped in a residential driveway in Cambridge East. We next spotted the youth on an adjacent property as he again ran off. A police dog team tracked him through several properties, locating him nearby to where yet another member of the community had spotted him hiding behind a fence. The youth gave up at that point and is being held accountable. Great teamwork all round. This past week we have helped a few people who have found themselves in need

of assistance with food. I am an advocate for helping people effectively through connecting them with appropriate support services. Cambridge is lucky to have resources in this regard. Cambridge Community Garden on Vogel Street has a sharing shed with free produce, as does Cambridge Community House on Shakespeare street. If you come across someone in need, the Salvation Army on Williamson Street is also able to assist with food parcels where individuals or families find themselves without food. Last week our youth aid officer, Constable Danica (Dani) Hibdige began a period of maternity leave. Her temporary replacement is being selected and I know they will continue the good work in supporting our youth. The Cambridge Bluelight committee will continue as usual --members are already exploring opportunities we can offer our youth in 2024. In the meantime, watch out for
the Cambridge Bluelight Christmas raffle tickets. Finally this week, as we begin the lead up to Christmas, we will continue to work with our retail community around loss prevention. Many stores are employing additional staff for the Christmas rush. Be sure that all new staff have an induction including your processes for dealing with suspected or actual theft, aggressive or intoxicated customers and previously trespassed persons. Often, the best prevention tactic is good customer service, greeting customers as they enter and proactively offering assistance, even more so when behaviours are suspicious. The key thing however is for staff to feel empowered to call 111 immediately a theft does occur or when other situations require urgent Police attendance. Together we make Cambridge a hard target for thieves.

Briefs… Liquor hearing
The Waipā District Licensing Committee held a hearing in Cambridge yesterday (Wednesday) to consider an application for renewal of an off-licence for NKM Princess Ltd t/a Blackbull Liquor. A labour inspector from the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) has been invited to be a witness at the hearing after finding certain breaches in minimum employment standards by the employer. NKM Princess was issued with an improvement notice last year and has since achieved compliance, MBIE’s head of Compliance and Enforcement Simon Humphries told The News.
Roads named
Five private roads in the Patrick Hogan Ryman Retirement Village in Cambridge have been given names after consultation with Ngāti Koroki Kahukura and Ngāti Haua Iwi trusts. Mahi Tahi (to work together), Pukatea and Tiitoki (endemic trees at the site), Puriri and Kiekie (native trees/plants) have been approved by Waipā’s Service Delivery committee last week subject to Land Information New Zealand approval.

Waipā residents recognise the positive value tourism brings to the district but are still concerned about the rubbish, parking and congestion problems it causes them. International visitor expenditure in the district was up 237 per cent and domestic 26 per cent in the 12 months ended June 30 this year, Hamilton and Waikato Tourism chief executive Nicola Greenwell told Waipā District Council Finance and Corporate committee members last week. The $14.3 million from foreigners and $161.8 million from within New Zealand were above pre Covid levels, she said. The biggest spend in the domestic market was Waikato people visiting in Waikato. Nearly four months into this financial year, it was looking even better. “We’re feeling really quite buoyant.” Waipā has a service level agreement with Hamilton and Waikato Tourism – along with Hamilton, Matamata-Piako, Ōtorohanga, Waikato and Waitomo territorial authorities – to promote Waikato within New Zealand and offshore. “Rest assured what we receive from our district council partners is maximised,” Greenwell said. Waipā’s share to the organisation
Signs gone
Chemist Warehouse removed signs which conflicted with district council bylaws following complaints, but some signs promoting a breast cancer awareness event in Hamilton tonight (Thursday) - and obstructed motorists’ view of pedestrians and crossings in Cambridge - were only removed following questions from The News. They were still on show near the Velodrome and elsewhere around town this week.

last financial year was $171,864 and $183,000 this year. The tourism organisation, using money from the government’s Covid Recovery fund, ran two resident sentiment surveys, boosted its image library and analysed the organisation’s cost per resident. At $3.30 for each resident, Hamilton and Waikato Tourism was among the three lowest – the others were Taranaki, Northland and Auckland. The highest is Queenstown at $172.35 followed by Rotorua ($66.64), Taupō ($56.26) and West Coast ($30.82). Waipā residents showed an approval rating of 50 (“acceptance”) towards domestic visitors and 68 (“approval”) towards international visitors, above the New Zealand averages of 44 and 63. “This is positive news that our Waipā residents are able to identify the benefit that tourism brings to their towns and district,” Greenwell told The News. Challenges found locally were more litter and waste, greater difficulty finding a car park, damage to the natural environment, traffic congestion and a feeling of less safe driving. “These challenges identified are opportunities for Waipā District Council to consider how these might be mitigated,” she said. That included working with retailers/operators to minimise
waste, look at whether there were sufficient parks in the right places and an exploration of traffic flows through town. Residents also saw benefits such as businesses staying open longer, opportunities for employment, a greater appreciation of the natural environment and a desire to travel domestically. Cr Clare St Pierre said while the figures were impressive, the benefit was not being seen as much on the western side of the district, in places like Pirongia and Te Awamutu. “Is it because they have the businesses and infrastructure over there (in Cambridge)?” Greenwell said other businesses partnered with Hamilton and Waikato Tourism. “Operators choose to partner with us at whatever level and that does accelerate their exposure.” Deputy mayor Liz Stolwyk, who manages Mighty River Domain, Karāpiro for the council – arguably the biggest Waipā tourism attraction – asked why it did not appear buses were returning to the level they were pre Covid. Operators are working differently, Greenwell said. Before Covid, Hobbiton at the height of the season would operate a tour bus through the movie set every five minutes. Now it is one every 10 minutes.
Nicola Greenwell
And Waitomo Caves had 24 people on the boat before, now it was 20. “That’s happening up and down the country.” Operators provided tourists with a better experience, better engagement while they were there and a lighter footprint in the community. They were looking for visitors to “stay longer and explore deeper.” Greenwell said Hamilton and Waikato Tourism would continue to support Waipā tourism developments such as Te Ara Wai Land Wars Museum in Te Awamutu and the Sports Hall of Fame at the Velodrome in Cambridge.
Boshier targets workshops By Mary Anne Gill
Councils have been told by the Ombudsman to open workshops by default to reduce the perception that decisions are being made behind closed doors. Peter Boshier’s call echoes concerns The News has had in recent months about Waipā District Council’s regular monthly public excluded workshops where it appeared issues were discussed out of the public eye. It could see a return to good old fashioned debating in council chambers up and down the country rather than rubber-stamping exercises at short meetings. Boshier released his Open for Business report on Tuesday. He investigated eight councils. Waipā was not one of them. The News has taken issue with Waipā because of the regularity
elected members cite information received at workshops when making decisions at public meetings. Boshier found no evidence that any of the eight councils were making decisions in the workshops but found some workshop practices were counter to the principles of openness and could contribute to a perception that workshops are not being used in the right way. “I also discovered that a range of council officials and elected members didn’t want to open workshops for a number of reasons including that asking questions could make them look stupid.” Boshier said protecting councillors was not a valid reason to close the workshop doors. “Elected members should be resilient enough to withstand reasonable public scrutiny. It is the job they are elected to do.”

Steph Bell-Jenkins puts one and one together – and comes up with two great stories about young Waipā students.
The power of three Simrat takes
At just 11, Cambridge Middle School student Freddie Fulforth is about to sit NCEA Level 1 in mathematics – an exam designed for 15-16 year-olds. “He is a year 7 student sitting exams that some year 11s will find challenging to pass,” teacher Danielle Fuller said. “A year 7 sitting exams four years ahead of their age group is very uncommon. He’s the only one at our school doing that and the only one in recent memory.” Freddie’s mother Holly, who teaches at Leamington Primary School, and father James, a gastroenterologist, arranged a tutor for him this year to “take the pressure off the education system”, Holly said.
“It was very unlikely that in a class of 30, Fred’s needs would be able to be met – and as a teacher myself I recognise how difficult that would be,” she said. While his classmates are learning maths, Freddie studies online through Te Aho o Te Kura Pounamu (the New Zealand Correspondence School), completing achievement standards needed for NCEA. He also works with a tutor who visits his house to deliver targeted learning. Freddie teamed up with two other exceptional 11-year-old Cambridge Middle School mathematicians, Smith Bosacker and Angus Clarke, to compete at this year’s BayMaths competition recently.
Freddie Fulforth (right) with his BayMaths teammates Angus Clarke (left) and Smith Bosacker.
The contest got off to a shaky start for the trio, who scored 24/90 in an individual points section. “It was pitiful,” Freddie said. “The competition was stacked – particularly Peachgrove and Berkley – they were just smashing it.” However, in a remarkable fight back, the boys pulled together in the final two sections to win the overall team challenge. None of them could believe it, Smith said. “We all just kind of stood up and looked at each other bewildered because we had no clue we were going to win. We got up and got our awards on stage and it felt great.” Miss Fuller, who coordinated the team, said the team had done no preparation for the event, apart from competing at the WaiMaths competition earlier this year. “Imagine what we could do with some training,” she said. With the individual challenge factored in, the students finished ninth out of 38 teams overall and now have their sights set on winning BayMaths 2024. “We have a very decent chance,” Smith said. Meanwhile, Freddie is gearing up to sit his NCEA level 1 mathematics exam next month, which he expects will be tough. “It’s very difficult... but it challenges me, and I like it because not many things challenge me,” he said.
on the world
A former Waipā primary school student was set to represent New Zealand at an international mathematics competition as this week’s edition of The News went to press. Hours before flying to Sri Lanka to take on the world, year five student Simrat Kaur said she had one goal - “my aim is to be the champion”. The nine-year-old practised through the school holidays and took almost two weeks off school to prepare for the SIP International Prodigy 2023 Simrat Kaur, pictured at Tauwhare School. competition in Colombo, Sri Lanka. SIP (Systematic Intellectual and Progressive) Abacus is a brain development programme offered in 950 centres around the world. Students initially use an abacus for maths, sliding beads across a frame, but progress to solving problems without the device. Simrat has been attending online SIP Abacus classes for two years and was one of nine students who represented New Zealand at the international competition. Up against about 150 competing at level 2 she was tasked with solving as many maths problems as possible in five minutes. Tauwhare School principal Chris May said Simrat was an inspiration. Simrat joined Tauwhare School in June after her family moved to Eureka. She previously attended Puahue School in Te Awamutu. SIP Abacus New Zealand country head Harpreet Singh said she had the potential to win a god medal in Sri Lanka. Simrat said her father had suggested some sightseeing the day before the competition, but she was planning to stay home and practise maths. “I just really hope that all my hard work pays off,” she said.

A shiny work in progress Promotion
When a convoy of Cadillacs called into Cambridge last week, Trevor and Pearl Martin were among the first on the scene. The long-time Cambridge couple was waiting for son Steven to arrive in his 1960 Cadillac Sedan de Ville. Steven, who works at Keppler Motors in Hamilton, has owned the
sedan for three years. Roni Martin can testify to the precise date it was brought north from Christchurch – she was sitting in the car on August 7, 2020, when Steven proposed. To the untrained eye the sedan, sitting next to the 1960 couple version, looks pristine.
But Steven sees it as a work in progress - “I’m chipping away” - and white wall tyres are a recent edition. The car was brought to New Zealand 20 years ago, and the colour is officially Persian Sand. The convoy was heading to Wellington for the 50th anniversary of the Cadillac and LaSalle Club of New Zealand.
list unveiled
Eight events will receive help from the $18,210 remaining in Waipā District’s Promotion and Community Event funds. The Takapoto showjumping classic in February gets $3000 while the New Zealand Big Air freestyle BMX nationals – both at Lake Karāpiro - gets $1210. They had requested $10,000 and $4000 respectively. Two new recipients – the Te Awamutu Skatepark Burger Fuel event and the Cambridge Christmas window display and Santa’s workshop – get $500 and $600 each. Other events to receive community event funding include the Te Awamutu Craft Fair ($700), Te Awamutu Boxing Academy Youth development ($1700), CPC NZ Powerlifting Nationals ‘Summer Slam’ ($1500) and Waikato 2024 Kyokushin Championships ($1500). Deputy mayor Liz Stolwyk, a member of the District Promotions subcommittee which gives the funding on behalf of the council, said events offered a great return on investment. “Not just financially but also through wellbeing. Whether it’s someone participating in a sports tournament or whānau spending a day wandering around the craft market, there is something for everyone.” The council has a publicly contestable fund for district promotion events. There was $4110 rolled over from last financial year and $100 unallocated from June’s funding round. The community event fund had $6500 left to distribute. Six applicants – five from Te Awamutu and one from Cambridge - requested $12,900.

Meet Ian Calvert - A Man Of All Seasons. Ian Calvert, of Legacy Funerals Cambridge, is a man who has much in common with the Waikato families whom he comes into contact with.
The funeral industry is a far cry from Ian’s start in life. He was born in Pukekohe and enjoyed a typical farming child’s life, eventually purchasing his first farm, all the while flying when he could. Life then turned him towards aviation. He gained a number of licences and ratings, both in NZ and in the UK, and went on to successfully run several aviation companies, including CTC Aviation outside Hamilton. When the Covid pandemic dealt a blow to an industry whose lifeblood was foreign aviation students, it signalled the change that brought Ian to the funeral industry.
Ian’s background is steeped in farming; he was born into it and those early years on the land prepared him well. Later, armed with a tough work ethic and lifelong passion for flying, he took to the skies, successfully running several North Island-based aviation companies.
It was circumstance that brought Ian to the funeral industry – a chain of events that now has him working for Legacy Cambridge. One of the links in that chain was Ian’s wife Raewyn, whose work as a celebrant for Legacy Funerals provided an opportunity, just as Ian was looking for a change. He came on board initially to help where he was needed but, has since stayed on, now having worked two years’ full-time. He is also well on his way to completing his NZ Diploma in Funeral Directing. “I found early on that I really liked the work,” says Ian. “It offers a variety that means every day is different and I enjoy working with the families who come to us. Every funeral brings its different requirements. As a funeral director, my role is to remove as much stress as possible from a family following the death of their loved one. This allows them to start the grieving process while we handle all the practicalities.”
Ian also likes the Legacy model, one which through the Legacy Trust, sees a significant portion of profits generated through Legacy Funeral Homes
Ian and Raewyn share six children and a growing number of grandchildren, and Ian has a keen interest in golf and large-scale modelling – ships, planes and cars. Legacy Funerals General Manager Kiri Randall says “we are proud to have Ian as part of our team and his commitment to the local Cambridge community.” Ian Calvert - Farmer, Aviator and now, Funeral Director.
gifted back to the community each one serves. He understands service and charities after having put in a few years volunteering with St John.
Ian personalises each funeral. He arranges all of the standard aspects such as music, flowers, photographic tributes and live streaming. All whilst including bespoke aspects of a personalised funeral service. This could include a surfboard on the roof of the hearse, the ukelele club playing a number at the service, or using the family boat for the final journey to the crematorium. No detail is too small to handle.

New moon for forgotten spring
A spring and stream uncovered when Resthaven purchased land in Cambridge a decade ago has been unveiled as a natural expanse. A blessing for Te Puna Marama, Moon Spring, on the southern slopes of Resthaven in Vogel St was led by Ngāti Koroki Kahukura and Ngāti Hauā on Tuesday morning. In its heyday, people were attracted to the clear and cold water of the spring and creek. In the early 1900s a water supply project was approved to pump
water from the creek up the slope to the water tower in Payne Park. It opened in 1903 and supplied the township with water for more than 20 years. Resthaven launched a restoration project after the 2013 discovery and with help from community groups, Cambridge Lions and Waipā District Council, cleared weeds and replanted native vegetation, constructed paths, steps and retaining walls and bridges. Tuesday’s karakia marked the

commencement of the final stages of the work. The ecological restoration project has transformed the area from an overgrown pocket of land into a regenerating native bush. Native flora has been restored through natural regeneration supplemented by plantings and some kauri are now over four metres high. Native birdlife is flourishing in the area and they are assisted by ongoing weeds and predator control.

Expect to see a spade in the ground before Christmas. That is the word from Ingham Motor Group principal dealer John John Ingham Ingham about the former Bunnings site in Cambridge. And the man who started in Ōtorohanga in 1968 and then expanded into Te Awamutu and Hamilton as well as across the upper North Island has confirmed the development is a four-year project. Given the nature of the motor industry today, do not expect to see too much duplication in the Waikato market, he says. Ingham has eight brands - Hyundai, Isuzu, Kia, Suzuki, Mercedes-Benz, Renault, Honda and Mitsubishi – at 17 dealerships. “The motor industry is really changing at the moment,” said Ingham, who would not confirm what three franchises would operate in Cambridge. But one of them will not be Mercedes Benz, he said. Ingham Group’s resource consent application to demolish the Bunnings building and redevelop on the overall 6852 sq m site for a car dealership and associated vehicle servicing was granted in July. The development would be in two stages. Building consents are expected to be lodged with Waipā District Council next month and site works, starting with the demolition of the Bunnings building, soon afterwards.
Cambridge’s Jumble Around op shop has distributed $183,000 to 94 not for profit organisations. President Marianne Jarvie said the recipients included Cambridge Community House, Cambridge Volunteer Fire Service, Achievement House, Interlock NZ Trust, St John Cambridge, Kiwi Outreach and Cambridge Life Skills Institute. Jumble Around has been operating for 55 years and has generated several million dollars for Cambridge.
Sharemilker banned
A former sharemilker has been sentenced to home detention and banned from being in charge of animals. Mark Richardson was in sole charge of a herd of about 165 cows at Te Awamutu between November 2015 and February 2020. After he sold the herd, a vet found evidence of tail breaks and injuries to 84 cows. The 48-year-old was prosecuted by the Ministry for Primary Industries.

Cambridge Tree Trust www.treetrust.org.nz
Rangiora (Brachyglottis repanda) Spring is usually associated with blossom, and in this part of the country the pale pink Awanui cherry has been spectacular. And our native plants are also flowering; first to mind is the yellow kowhai, full of feeding tui at present, but spare a thought also for rangiora, which Robert Vennell says is a ‘daisy that has grown into a tree’. It is easy to recognise around the town or in the bush with its giant papery leaves covered on the underside with a white felt. In spring its new shoots are also covered in a soft brownish felt like the velvet of deer antlers, but its biggest give-away at this time of year is the scent of its bunches of creamy-white flowers. For Māori, rangiora, as its name suggests, is a symbol of life and health, in contrast to kawakawa which is symbol of death. These two plants are sometimes worn in a traditional dance at tangi, reminding people that death
FAITH IN WAIPĀ
Advertorial
is part of life. Rangiora also featured in a haka composed during the New Zealand wars in the 1860s, in which Governor George Grey is likened to a cow that eats up rangiora leaves. Vennell suggests that the metaphor is that of a ‘greedy governor … gobbling up [the] life force’ of Māori. However, in view of the fact that every part of the rangiora plant is poisonous, I wonder if there was not also a more sinister message for the governor of trouble to come! There is much more to know about rangiora, so watch for a further episode on our giant daisy.
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.
Help when it’s needed By Murray Smith, Bridges Church
This column comes to you from the Emerald Isle. That’s right, I’m in Irelandland of my forbears on my mother’s side. My grandfather’s family business interests were wiped out with the collapse of the Irish linen industry. So, aged 24 years old, in 1903 he ventured to New Zealand hoping for a new start. I have in my possession his original ticket (costing £18) for passage down-under onboard the Royal Mail Steamship Omrah (in ‘Open Berth 27’) sailing out of London, bound for Australia, on to Dunedin - a voyage taking 48 days. I can’t help but contrast the discomfort of Grandpa’s journey with my own recent trip from New Zealand by plane a week ago, flying to Ireland in 24 hours. Although in ‘economy’, it was comfort my grandfather could never have foreseen. Before my grandfather’s generation, crossing oceans was particularly perilous with wooden ships relying upon weather patterns and wind alone to fill sails that provided the impetus for getting (hopefully), to wherever their destination was. Those hardy seafaring ones who sailed the seas then, facing hazardous conditions, carrying people and cargo command my respect. Timber ships of the first century faced even greater risks with arduous conditions onboard exacerbated by unpredictable storms, plus the danger from heavy seas of cargo shifting within a ship’s hold. Rice and other grain cargoes, if unrestrained were liable to shift, altering a vessel’s centre of gravity, causing a dangerous list (lean) or imbalance that jeopardised a ship’s ability to sail. Leaking vessels and water seepage in a hold where rice containment was
compromised could cause expansion capable of splitting a hull. I’ve read of many storms at sea culminating in shipwreck. My favourite is recorded by a Greek doctor named Luke in Chapter 27 of the Book of Acts (The Bible). A historian par excellence, Luke describes journeying at sea with companion Paul, when they encountered a horrendous storm. Day and night merged into one continual blanket of darkness, as their ship was buffeted by massive waves and winds, tossing the ship up and down the Adriatic Sea for two whole weeks. Terrified crew lightened the ship, jettisoning the cargo - as well as the ships tackle. At one point fearing the ship’s timbers could split apart, Luke records crew using ‘helps’ to secure the ship. The original Greek word for ‘helps’ is voitháei (pronounced voythay), referring to the technique of ‘frapping’ a ship - (that is, to ‘frap’ or ‘bind tightly’). ‘Helps’ were the ropes or chains passed underneath a ship, thus undergirding the hull at a dangerous time of extremity. I love how meanings of original words convey rich applications to our lives. Here’s an example…another verse in the Bible uses the same word voitháei, extending an invitation for us to ‘run’ to God to save and sustain us when in trouble. “Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” Notice… ‘help’ in time of need? Never forget this offer of God’s help in extremity, when life’s storms threaten to break apart your ‘ship’.

MP steps into It was better than fair… housing issue By Mary Anne Gill
By Mary Anne Gill
Four of the nine tenants evicted by Metlifecare after its decision to refurbish 11 rental units at its St Andrew’s Cambridge village have already found suitable accommodation. One may not choose to return to independent living after a hospital stay as their individual care needs may require care home level accommodation, Operations general manager Hannah Walton has told The News. The tenants have to be out by March next year. The update is in response to a statement from Taupō MP Louise Upston who said she would continue to work closely with Cambridge Committee of Social Services and St Andrew’s Church on behalf of the residents. “I have visited residents in their homes at the village in the past. Considering the history and ethos of the village, they would never have expected that they would need to move, so it will be a real shock to them. “Given the age of the residents, ample time
and support needs to be provided to them to find suitable and affordable rental accommodation. “Waiting lists in Cambridge are long. Ideally, residents would be able to stay in their homes until they decide to move, or have to move, due to healthcare needs,” said Upston. “I’m sure with some creative thinking, Metlifecare can come up with a solution that has these residents at heart.” Walton said the company would continue to help find a solution for the four tenants still looking for accommodation. “Given it is just over four weeks since the tenants started making enquiries, and four have already found alternative accommodation options, we are confident there will be suitable solutions found for the remaining tenants,” said Walton. Meanwhile chief executive Earl Gasparich will be in Cambridge this week for the village’s annual meeting. The News requested an interview with him but he was on a “pretty tight agenda, hosting several each day, plus travel,” the company said.
Ian Dunn has been at 27 St Andrew’s Church fairs so when he says the event on Labour Day Monday was the “biggest ever”, he knows what he is talking about. The church verger tried to retire last year, and The News wrote a glowing farewell but now he is so enthused about the fair, he is vowing to stay on another three years. There were 142 stallholders represented on Monday with very little disruption caused by roadworks on
nearby Bryce Street. “I’ve never seen it so packed with stallholders and people,” said Dunn, who estimated there were thousands who attended. “The weather was good in the morning, but it was very hot in the afternoon for everyone.” Stallholders were clamouring to book their spots for the January 29 Auckland Anniversary weekend fair while others suggested sales were down. “It all depends on what people are wanting I suppose,” he said.
Organisers are claiming the weekend’s fair is the biggest yet.

Waddell and the kiwi advantage By Viv Posselt
One of New Zealand’s most respected sporting sons, Rob Waddell, attributes much of this country’s global sporting success to its ability to collaborate effectively. Speaking at this month’s Cambridge U3A (University of the Third Age) meeting, he said Kiwi sporting agencies and organisations work particularly well together. “We’re big enough to have economies of scale but not so big that we are clumsy. Our ability to share information gives us a competitive advantage internationally.” He said New Zealand’s ranking just outside the top 10 listed Olympic nations rates the country just under some of the world’s far larger players, including the United States, Britain, China, Australia and France. Rob’s multi-faceted involvement in New Zealand sport has spanned decades and covers his roles as a high-achieving athlete to that of a successful sports administrator. The former brought the talented rower acclaim as a New Zealand Olympic gold medallist and double world champion single sculler before he segued into a different role as America’s Cup yachtsman. He was named New Zealand’s Supreme ‘Halberg Awards’ Sportsperson of the year winner three times and made a fine fist of his later role as Chef de Mission of the New Zealand Olympic team, leading them through the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow and the Summer Olympics in 2016 and 2022. Rob’s prowess at giving sports organisations a leg-up was evidenced through his involvement in helping secure $32 million in funding for the Cambridge

velodrome, thereby providing a local base for New Zealand’s Home of Cycling, and through his extensive contribution to other organisations including the Halberg Disability Trust and Te Awa River Trust. He now runs a business building partnerships across sport, business and philanthropy. The determination that led to his success was shown early. The Te Kuiti-born athlete arrived in this world at a whopping 4700g (10lb 6oz) and spent an idyllic childhood ranging the family farm in Piopio. Sporting success came early through the Roller Mills Rugby. “I remember the excitement of being presented with my King Country rugby jersey by Sir Colin Meads.” Despite finding it difficult to settle in to boarding life at Auckland’s King’s College,
it was there he found his passion for doing well in life and where he found rowing as a way to focus it. “I was all arms, legs and large feet… but I was determined to do well from a young age because I didn’t really have any natural ability. I worked really hard at it, but at each stage, I just wanted to make the next team above the one I was in.” From then on Rob did life at a cracking pace, surging through his competitive years to move into governance with a view to aiding sports organisations with strategy management and funding. He listed a strong work ethic, repetitive striving for excellence, teamwork and leadership among core values that lead to success, topping those with the need to find joy in whatever activity you feel driven to follow.

TALKING ECONOMICS
Time for another shake-up
The major state-sector reforms of the late 1980s gave the New Zealand public sector a huge shake-up. Its size was significantly reduced and its performance significantly improved. The impact of these reforms has gradually faded over the last 35 years to the point where it is hard to know what the systems of performance monitoring and accountability are in the New Zealand public sector today. There are many examples of poor delivery of outcomes by government agencies, but nobody seems to take responsibility, and nobody seems to be held accountable. What we do know is that the public service has got a lot bigger again. On June 30, 2017, the public sector employed 348,000 people or 13.8 per cent of the work force. By the end of 2022, that number had risen to 448,000 or 18.7 per cent of the work force. On top of this, most Government departments make significant use of outside consultants for many of their projects. The spending on consultants in 2022-23 was just over $1200 million. The much-vaunted ‘do-it-yourself’ mentality of New Zealanders seems to have disappeared from our public service.
While the number of public servants has risen strongly, satisfaction with the delivery of outcomes from the public service has fallen. Last year, a survey on the “Mood of the Boardroom’ gave the public service a score of only 1.63 out of 5 for the ‘execution and delivery of policies’. That’s an extremely low score. Examples of poor delivery from public sector agencies appear in our newspapers frequently. The latest one was the Electoral Commission failing to get easy-vote cards to almost a million voters before the recent election. Another survey done last year titled ‘Working in the Public Service’ also had some worrying conclusions. Many of the respondents said that most government agencies are risk-averse and tell ministers what they think they want to hear. That isn’t being an advisor. The ministers are the decision-makers, but their advisors should give them a range of options on most issues and if the advisor thinks something being considered by a minister would not be a good policy, they should say so – and why. Also, public agencies are spending more and more on communication
By Peter Nicholl
but most of what is being communicated is more accurately described as advertising than information or accountability. I have been told that the Reserve Bank of New Zealand now has 26 people in its Public Relations department. When Don Brash was Governor and I was Deputy Governor, there were three public relations staff – and Don made a lot of speeches. The focus of much of the public sector now seems to be on writing reports, media campaigns and advertising programmes rather than implementing policies. The new government will have to reform the public sector’s culture urgently so the emphasis goes back on implementation - and accountability is based on outcomes and not on writing long reports or having fancy advertisements campaigns. If they don’t, they will have a hard job implementing their policies too. The public service, not the cabinet, is the delivery mechanism for a government’s policies.

COMMUNITY BOARD COMMENT
Getting the planning right
Tea and fashion
By Elise Badger, deputy chair, Cambridge Community Board
Masterplans are an important part of ensuring our town develops in a cohesive and holistic way - masterplans avoid ad hoc development, future proof amenities and hopefully, prevent future problems. The Cambridge Community Board has been involved in the Leamington Domain Masterplan, and it was great to hear from different sectors of the community about this at our recent public forum. Overall, we think this masterplan is heading in the right direction and have made sure our community’s voice has been represented to council on the issues that still need work. We’ve also been hearing from Cambridge with the completion of our Cambridge Library and Community Hub public engagement. With nearly 500 survey responses, as well as focus groups from Kaipaki Primary School, Cambridge Middle School and Cambridge High School, we have been able to build a strong picture of what Cambridge needs for the future. It was particularly valuable to have the voice of tamariki and rangatahi part of these discussions. For everyone who took part in this process, we express a big thank you. We have presented these results to the Cambridge Library Feasibility Study Project Group; your voice is helping to shape the direction of their important work. Much like masterplans, these feasibility studies help determine what really is possible - not all our dreams can come true, but hopefully a few of them will. It has been a big month for the Sister City
relationships of Cambridge with a delegation from Waipa District Council, including community board chair Jo DaviesColley, visiting Le Quesnoy, France, for the opening of Te Arawhata, the New Zealand Liberation Museum. We will also welcome a delegation to Cambridge from Le Quesnoy, in November, as well as a delegation from Bihoro, Japan later that month. Sister cities forge relationships which transcend political ties, focusing instead on having a positive impact on a cultural and emotional level - encouraging peace, trust and understanding across borders. The year has flown and as we look toward the Christmas season the board is considering how we can support the festive feel of Cambridge this year. We will be dusting off the decorations that adorn the hotel balconies, and retailers will display painted Christmas trees. With the help of Waipa Networks we will also light up a tree on the Village Green. But to be honest, our decorations are a bit past their best, so we are looking for local businesses interested in sponsoring new Christmas decorations for Cambridge central business district. If that sounds like you, we would love to hear from you and continue to make Cambridge town a wonderful and especially festive place to be! As always if you have issues you would like brought to the attention of council, please contact any of your representatives on the Cambridge Community Board.
Assistant village manager Debbie Brown poses with some of the food.

While volcanoes can produce stressful and scary events, they are a critical part of our planet’s natural processes and they enhance life on Earth in very important ways. Locally, old volcanic deposits have weathered down to contribute to our fertile soils that our agricultural industry is built upon. They also provide ecosystems where diversity of plants, animals, insects, and other life can thrive. Next door we have Maungatautari, which is well known as Sanctuary Mountain, an ecological island where a lot of hard work has led to a safe home for some of our rare and endangered species. Maungatautari is what we call an extinct volcano, which means we do not think it will ever erupt again because activity has since migrated east to the Taupō Volcanic Zone. It was active around two million years ago, making it roughly the same age as the nearby also extinct Alexandra Volcanic Group that includes Mounts Karioi, Pirongia, Kakepuku (not Kakepuka, as I grew up to believe), and Te Kawa. Erosion has since reshaped the flanks of Maungatautari and dispersed the remnants in the surrounding districts

Work by Dr Marlena Prentice showed that towards the north east, part of the volcano collapsed and produced a debris avalanche deposit – a type of large landslide formed when part of a volcano fails. You might be able to spot the resulting U-shaped valley that is now covered in pastures in Google Maps. Below the mountain are ignimbrites (very large pyroclastic flow deposits rich in pumice from very large eruptions) from the Mangakino caldera, one of the older, extinct calderas within the Taupō Volcanic Zone. Remembering that pyroclastic flows are very hot, fast mixtures of rock, ash, and gas that race across the landscape, our homelands have been through a lot to get to what we see today. During its lifetime, Maungatautari produced a wide range of eruption styles and sizes, which is typical of volcanoes. If you were around back then you may have witnessed lava flows, the growth of lava domes (when solid lava is pushed upwards to form unstable mounds that can collapse dangerously to form pyroclastic flows), and explosive

small Vulcanian to larger subPlinian eruptions that produce ash plumes potentially reaching up to 30 km (which is partly how we define “sub-Plinian” eruptions), depositing pulverised rock fragments wherever the wind blows them. It would have taken many of these eruptions over a long time to eventually build up such a large edifice, it would be quite the view if this continued today. Understanding our landscape and how it formed helps us to understand hazards, like is there a chance the ground under our feet might collapse? As well as how to make the most of the land around us - like what fertilisers do we need to use to keep our crops and animals healthy? As a volcanologist, looking out at the old volcanoes around us this is what I see. The lifetimes of magma rising from deep below the surface to either quietly form lava flows, or violently blow apart because of the rapidly expanding gases within the magma itself as it reaches the surface. Visualising these dynamic processes brings another level of appreciation of the land around us.

Protest at greyhounds Hockey for fun
By Jeremy Smith
A teenage politician was at the forefront of a small protest against greyhound racing at Cambridge Raceway last week. Animal Justice Party’s Hamilton East candidate Lily Carrington – who turned 18 just before this year’s election – was with her mother, Melanie Wilson. The pair are members of the Animal Justice Party, and waved placards to attract attention to their cause. Wilson stood in Hamilton West at the general election, Carrington in Hamilton East. Some racegoers at a Waikato Greyhound Racing Club meeting last Thursday clashed verbally with four protesters. The protestors also included Nick Hancock and the Animal Justice Party’s executive president Robert McNeil, who both stood in Auckland seats at this year’s general election - attracting
about 300 votes each. The party itself fielded 17 candidates nationwide and was buoyed days before the general election when both incoming Prime Minister Christopher Luxon and outgoing Prime Minister Chris Hipkins said they would support banning greyhound racing. Thursday’s race meeting in Cambridge went ahead as planned and featured 12 races. Outside the course Hancock said greyhound racing amounted to animal cruelty was a “blood sport which belongs in the past” and the party was calling on the Government to take action. The party itself has previously argued that measures taken by the Greyhound Racing New Zealand were not enough. Greyhound racing in New Zealand is a $92 million industry which employs about 800 people. There are 40 registered greyhound trainers in New Zealand.
Trainer backs industry work “How many kennels do you know of which have carpet, heating and air conditioning? Some of mine do.” Those were the comments Ōhaupō based greyhound trainer Tom Patton in response to last week’s small protest at the Cambridge Raceway. He said greyhound racing was one of the most regulated sports in the country. Patton has been training and racing greyhounds for 10 years. He has 10 dogs - some preparing for a racing career, two currently racing and the
rest are retired. Patton said he and other trainers took great care to look after the welfare of his greyhounds. While he wasn’t at Thursday’s race meeting in Cambridge, he heard about it happening. He disputed the protesters claims. “They are entitled to their opinion, but I’d say the greyhound industry is one of the most regulated in New Zealand. I’m confident all their concerns are things we as an industry have either already moved to address, or plan to address.”
By Steph Bell-Jenkins
Animal Justice Party’s Hamilton East candidate Lily Carrington.
Greyhound Racing New Zealand (GRNZ) chief executive Edward Rennell told Stuff the comments from the leading politicians were disappointing. “We believe the progress that has been made in the last year shows the industry has made significant improvements and there are no grounds for closing us down,” he said. Among the steps taken by the industry is a programme to house dogs after their racing days. The Great Mates programme is dedicated to rehoming greyhounds and one of those support kennels is based in Cambridge. Greyhound racing is only seen in eight countries - New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, USA, Vietnam, China and Mexico.
Music was drifting over Cambridge Middle School’s Clare St turf, the barbecue was cranking and sausages were sizzling on the grill as Cambridge High School’s social summer hockey league got underway in brilliant sunshine last Wednesday. The league was launched for the first time last October. Coordinator Karen Hills said the competition helped winter players maintain their skills over the summer break. The competition runs for six weeks and caters to year 8-13 players, who choose their own team names and play two 20-minute games every afternoon. Eighteen-year-old Thomas
Hocking, who plays for the Rooster Riders, is planning to study engineering at either the University of Waikato or the University of Canterbury next year. He co-captained the school’s 1st XI this winter and said the summer league was a good chance for younger players to pit their skills against senior players. “It’s also a lot of fun,” he said. “After an intense season you can just chill and have some banter with your mates.” Blake Urbahn, 14, said it was “really fun playing against the older kids”. His team, the Little Stinkers – made up mostly of year 9 students – drew with Hocking’s team 3-3.
