Pressure ramps up By Mary Anne Gill

Louise Upston’s influence in the National Party has borne fruit for her electorate with the announcement the 16km Cambridge to Piarere stretch is back on as a national road of significance. Now business leaders want her to use that clout again by getting on/off ramps at Tirau Road – just past the Cambridge Golf Club – built into the design. Transport minister Simeon Brown joined Upston, other National Party MPs and mayors – Matamata-Piako’s Adrienne Wilcock and Susan O’Regan of Waipā - at Piarere to turn the sods for a $43.5 million roundabout at the intersection of SH1 and SH29 last week. The roundabout was planned under the previous government and approved after an Environment Court decision gave Waka Kotahi New Zealand Transport Agency the go-ahead to build a 60-metre diameter roundabout in preference to a flyover. Less than five minutes into the ceremony last week Waka Kotahi said the roundabout design had been “future proofed” so it would fit long term into anything else planned. Brown was quick to add that it was back on as a road of national significance and “I can’t wait to come here and open it”. Cambridge Chamber of Commerce chief executive Kelly Bouzaid, who was not invited to the ceremony, has since written to Upston to congratulate her and lobby for the on/off ramps. The News kick started discussion over the on/off ramps solution as a short term fix more than two years ago and it was quickly picked up by the chamber and other business leaders. We argued the ramps would allow Leamington commuters to join the Expressway from Fergusson (Low Level) Bridge to head north and return the same way, taking thousands of cars out of Cambridge CBD. Waka Kotahi responded that it would not be cost effective and the Victoria Road interchange

Piarere is getting a roundabout and the expressway is being extended – now let’s get the off ramps situation sorted. provided north and south bound connections. Wilcock said the roundabout at Piarere would be a life saver and a huge benefit for MatamataPiako. “I know people who will work from home instead of travelling to work to use this T intersection. The queues are just too much. “It’s all about safety and flow and we look forward to that.” O’Regan said while the roundabout would be in the Matamata-Piako district, any significant roading infrastructure on the outskirts of Waipā and South Waikato districts was “really heartening”. She applauded the decision to have the Cambridge to Piarere stretch back on as a nationally significant project. “That will obviously receive support from this government and that’s something we have been lobbying for.” Waka Kotahi Regional Relationships director David Speirs told The News it was not “just another roundabout.” It was the least safe part of SH1 in the country and was “absolutely critical” given the huge demand from the Ruakura inland and Tauranga ports. There will be no visible change for six months while Downer Construction builds the roundabout away from the current traffic flow – about 30,000 vehicles a day, 16 per cent of it freight - in a paddock next to SH1 and SH29. Workers will build the approaches first and construct a cycleway under the roundabout before completing the road in two years. It will deliberately be large to support traffic flow allowing cars to enter at 90kms an hour, said Speirs.

Convolvulus is conquering Cambridge, or so it seems. Ipomoea Indica, or Blue Morning Glory, and its pink/white companion Calystegia Silvatica, also known as Greater Bindweed, are both frost tender, so good Waikato frosts have kept them under control. We don’t get those frosts anymore, and the convolvulus species are loving the warmth, the rain and the CO2. They are swamping both our and Waipā District Council plantings, along with ad-hoc plantings by other groups. They are climbing the riverbanks, the trees, the hills and the gullies. The white Calystegia is even climbing over the Council’s mulch depot in Thornton Rd. What can we do? We could just surrender, and become the Town of Convolvulus instead of the Town of Trees. You think I exaggerate? Go for a walk and see the hectares of rapidly- spreading convolvulus. One of the ad-hoc plantings on a bank by Lake Te Koo Utu is now a sea of convolvulus with lumps in it where the trees are. It was planted a bit over a year ago. On my walk to the Tree Trust, I pass a construction site where a house is being built. It started late last year, so it’s been going for

about 3 months. Across the front where the driveway will be, the builders have the usual wire mesh fence. On it, grow convolvulus plants, with pretty pink flowers. The vines have reached the top of the fence and are looking for somewhere to move on to. It’s no wonder plantings and gardens are getting swamped. David Phillipps Cambridge Tree Trust

A mad plan

Regarding the removal of carparks in Cambridge - what a travesty. Waipā District Council has not thought this through in a satisfactory manner. The population of Cambridge is growing at an unprecedented rate with more land being taken over for housing and retirement villages. The removal of 32 carparks from outside businesses and a school at the time of huge population growth in the area is madness. Council did not notify or consult in any way fitting. The loss of these spaces will impact businesses who pay leases and rates to council will be huge. The inconvenience to customers enormous and the millions being spent on walk/cycle

On the beat with Senior Constable DEB HANN

Be patient, please School has started back this week bringing with it an increase in traffic, especially at peak times. We have quite a bit of road work underway in town with some road closures and diversions in place. I ask that everyone exercise patience, allowing a little more time than usual for your school and work commute, so that we can avoid any road rage incidents and crashes. Entry to Wilson street from the Victoria street end is blocked off, yet we have had cars enter onto the wrong side of the traffic island into the one way lane, especially to get to the Warehouse. This puts you and other drivers at risk, encourages others to repeat the behaviour and could result in a fine if you are caught. Respect road closures and use the signposted diversions. In good news, a few weeks ago I commended the actions of a group of young men who helped an elderly lady after she fell in Shakespeare street. Following that column, one of the youth involved came in to the station and made themselves known to us, enquiring as to the welfare of the lady. Thanks again to them for their kind actions. Last week, a male who had a warrant out for his arrest was seen by police walking on Victoria street. While the patrol made a U-turn, he attempted to run away and hide. Luckily a member of the public saw

what was happening and pointed officers to a nearby shop, resulting in the male being located. The male tried to escape and resisted the arrest, pushing our officers, but was restrained and taken into custody to go back before the courts. We appreciated the assistance from the public. A further word of warning about scammers. The latest report we have had involved the victim selling items on Facebook marketplace. One ‘purchaser’ agreed to buy an item, saying they would pay for the item and postage through courier post. They sent the seller a QR code to access to complete the transaction. When that would not work, the sent the victim a link which she clicked on. As the seller later went to complete the sale and post the item, they realised that the link to access the ‘purchaser’s’ address no longer worked. They subsequently realised that money had been transferred out from their bank account without permission. This is a reminder not to click on any links sent to you by random people. Payment online especially would not require a seller to take such steps to complete a purchase. Scammers are cunning so we have to be extra cautious.

ways completely unjustified. Council should rethink this plan. Lynda Osborne Cambridge

Lisa’s right

Lisa Cropp’s letter (The News, January 25) really hit the spot for me. To the devil with more cycleways, the best thing the council can do for Cambridge is to demolish the Town Hall and replace it with a multi storey car park. Alan Milton St Kilda

In support

I write in support of Lisa Cropp’s letter regarding bicycle lanes and agree totally with her. I too haven’t seen anyone using the lanes - but plenty of cyclists on our footpaths. Victoria Street is a hazard to pedestrians daily, particularly after school hours, when one is constantly jumping out of the way of cyclists and scooters. Six months ago as I was coming out of a shop in town there were three boys on electric scooters riding three abreast on footpath just a metre away from me. To get out of their way I twisted to get back into shop doorway causing myself an injury. Several people called out to the boys to get off their scooters and were told to “f off”. In Wilson Street it’s the same - cyclists on footpaths not the bike lane. Footpaths are for walking, isn’t that why they’re called footpaths. No need for a third bridge is Council’s cry but we’ll spend money on unused bike lanes and reduce much needed parking. Thank you, Lisa, for giving me the push I needed to write this.

Briefs… Get connected

The Cambridge Connections programme business case will be completed by May and include the priority projects from a list of ideas which includes increasing cycling and walking, improving passenger transport and addressing safety and congestion. It will also address whether Cambridge needs a third vehicular bridge over the Waikato River. Stakeholders will be invited to information sessions to provide feedback on the preferred programme.

Lake warnings

Te Whatu Ora Waikato have issued health warnings for Lakes Arapuni and Whangape. Warnings remain in place for Lakes Rotoroa (Hamilton Lake), Ngā Roto, Hakanoa, Waikare, Kainui, and Rotokauri. Scientific observation and monitoring of the water quality for Lake Arapuni suggests a recent rise in the concentration of cyanobacteria while Lake Whangape has seen a dramatic rise in measured cyanobacteria biovolume.

Coach stop

Two newly-established coach stops in Lake Street, Cambridge have got the tick of approval from tourism operators. Pacific Tourways said if coach drivers knew there was dedicated parking in a town, they would come. Having two spaces means up to 100 passengers could flow through into retail and hospitality businesses. Waipā council installed the stops after representations from the Cambridge Community Board and Destination Cambridge.

Be heard

Cambridge Chamber of Commerce will host a parking strategy meeting later this month to discuss the removal of carparks in the town. The chamber says parking is not a new issue but the squeeze on spaces has intensified prompting a need for a conversation between stakeholders and Waipā District Council.

By Mary Anne Gill

Waipā District Council will set up its own “one stop shop” for district promotions, events and attractions due to declining numbers at the council-funded i-Sites in Cambridge and Te Awamutu. The move to align the i-Sites’ websites with the council’s existing online channels has been revealed in an agenda item considered behind closed doors in December and released to The News after a Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act (Lgoima) request by Good Local Media. The Service Delivery committee decided to pull the council’s annual funding from July 1. Destination Cambridge wanted $190,000 and Destination Te Awamutu $174,000. The cost to council per visitor is $6 in Cambridge – based on 23,634 visitors a year – and $11 in Te Awamutu based on 11,355 people through the door. Sixty per cent of the Cambridge visitors are from outside the town while it is flipped in Te Awamutu where 70 per cent are locals. The decision – not

supported by Cambridge councillors Roger Gordon, Mike Pettit and Philip Coles – will be the death knell for the two i-Sites unless they can attract alternative funding. More details on why Cr Gordon did not support the paper, prepared by Customer and Community Services group manager Sally Sheedy going into public excluded, appear in the documents released to The News. He argued in an email three days before the meeting to Governance manager Jo Gread that the item should have been held in public “for the purpose of transparency and accountability”. Gordon was unhappy with the item’s name – Waipā i-Site Service Level Agreement Funding and Update – as it did not reflect the true intent of the meeting, he said, which was to scrap funding, effectively closing both operations. He also said elected members had in an earlier closed door workshop on November 21 told staff they did not want to see any reduction in services. “The withdrawal of funding… means that these services will no longer be offered,” he wrote, noting

it was going against elected member advice. But his major beef related to the way the decision was to be made. “There are persons whose employment will be affected by this decision and yet those persons have not been considered nor involved in this discussion to withdraw the funding.” The agenda item, released to The News after our copy deadline, was sent to the two i-Site organisations the previous day. The News understands their requests to attend last year’s meeting where council made the decision were declined, and they sought information under the Lgoima – on January 17 – more than a month after The News made

its requests. Editor Roy Pilott said given that time frame it was frustrating that the council responded to the i-Sites first. The News also asked for background to Destination Te Awamutu’s lease on a council-owned building which the council considered under the Lgoima process and released to The News. That reveals Destination Te Awamutu will not only lose i-Site funding but will have to renegotiate the lease on a building gifted to the community in 1980 for a Public Relations and Tourist Information Centre. The building cannot be used for anything else while the council applies for a change of purpose under the Reserves Act.

Destination Cambridge pays rent to the Cambridge Town Hall Trust and was renegotiating that when council decided to pull its funding. The News understands Destination Cambridge board members were unaware of the council’s move to set up its own online visitor information service. The organisation owns the cambridge.co.nz URL – but not cambridge.nz - and has invested significantly in content. Destination Te Awamutu recently updated its teawamutu.nz URL at its cost. It is not known whether the council, which owns several strategic websites itself, would be prepared to pay for the websites.

the organists wanted to have Christmas off. She was then in the choir, and he told her she would have no trouble playing the organ. “Don’t use the pedals,” he said, and she has never looked back. Helen finished her set with the 1977 Scott Fitzgerald and Yvonne Keeley hit If I Had Words, taken from the main theme of the maestoso section of Saint-Saëns’ Symphony No.3 in C minor (Symphony with organ). “All of a sudden this comes bellowing forward, it just makes you leap out of your seat.

A word from Helen… By Mary Anne Gill

Lauriston Park resident Helen Lloyd provided one of the star turns at the St Andrews Parish gala on Monday when she came out of semi-retirement to play the organ inside the Cambridge church. A steady crowd visited the gala which, to organisers’ delight, missed the foul weather of the previous two days. The 82-year-old, who moved to Cambridge 56 years ago, has played the organ in the church since the 1990s when Des Robinson “roped her in” because all

Rain, rain and sunshine

The Festival One concert wrapped up on Monday – but like its two predecessors was a victim of circumstances. The four-day Christian music festival was staged at Karāpiro’s Hartford Farm – and the impact of

heavy downpours of rain on both Saturday and Sunday was evident on Monday when the festival played to a medium sized audience. In Hamilton, thousands of outdoor concert goers were evacuated from Claudelands before the end

of a concert by Simple Minds on Sunday. The Festival One concert was first held at Mystery Creek in 2015 and prior to that was the Parachute Festival. Covid 19 forced the event’s

cancellation just days before the gates were due to open in 2002 – and last year heavy rain resulted in its cancellation after the first day. Several Cambridge contingents featured in this year’s musical lineup, including solo artist Jake Nelson, who – with just an acoustic guitar in hand - played a mix of his own songs and covers. Cambridge High School’s 2024 head boy, Levi Lamb, also performed with his band Sure Brake. After his rather wet Sunday afternoon set on the River Stage, Nelson – a former Cambridge High School student – spoke of the event’s “incredible” location. It was his first time playing at the festival. His 15-minute festival set included two original songs – White Stain and Passion and Play – and two covers, The Scientist by Coldplay and Jack Johnson’s Banana Pancakes. Nelson, who regularly provides the musical entertainment at the Saturday Cambridge Farmers’ Market in Victoria Square, won his chance to play on stage at Festival One after being one of 20 artists nationwide chosen by Christian radio station Life FM’s Discovery Sessions initiative. His day job also involves music – Nelson tutors at Ignite Arts Academy. Since 2015, international artists including Lauren Daigle, For King & Country and Switchfoot have performed at Festival One.

COUNCIL COMMENT

HE WHAKAWHITIWHITINGA WHAKAARO

The logic of voters

A great sign of unity

Why is Trump so popular? I see a lot of debate around this issue, but not of lot of sensible answers. By rights he should be unelectable, although big egos do have a certain attraction for some, possibly it is the unbridled confidence. There is such a thing as the Trump effect, the mental health benefits of complimenting yourself, something Kiwis are not great at. In my view the actual reason he will probably win the next US presidential election is that his opposition is so bad. People would rather have a selfish, ego maniac in charge because they know what they are getting. In all her hand wringing analysis of why she lost to him the first time never once did Hilary Clinton look at herself and the lack of trust her and her government engendered. Trump will at least stop the war in Ukraine, a meat grinder of a war that is going nowhere and probably carry on for years at huge cost in human life and money. The US is doing very well out of this war, for one they are now supplying Germany with gas at very good prices, gas the Russians used to supply. We saw a similar thing happen in in last year’s election here. Labour were tossed out for incompetence. Hipkins, who oversaw a lot of that incompetence is still there. At least Ardern saw the writing on the wall. Further evidence of the voting public’s intelligence was that National, who should have walked into government with a majority, managed to come up with a three way tie instead. This was purely as a result of the level

The hui at Turangawaewae on January 20 was more than a celebration of Māoridom’s assertion of tino rangatiratanga and mana motuhake. The strongest of signals was sent to all who might pay some attention to Māoridom’s aspirations and hopes for themselves and all of Aotearoa New Zealand. The positivity in the gathering of more than 10,000 people, iwi Māori from all corners of the land, old and young, of all political and other persuasions, and significant numbers of other-than-Māori was palpable. This was evidenced from the first karakia raising the Kīngitanga flags, to the last karakia lowering those symbols of the Kīngitanga whose purpose from its inception is to hold fast to the land; to stop the shedding of blood amongst the tribes, and to maintain and sustain mana Māori motuhake by uniting the people. A principle upheld to this very day is the assertion by the first Māori King Potatau Te Wherowhero, ‘Kotahi te kōwhao o te ngira e kuhuna atu ai te miro pango, te miro mā, te miro whero.’ There is but one eye of the needle through which must pass the black thread (the Māori people); the white thread (the Pākehā – Europeans) and the red thread (red – the colour of the nobility). That spirit was evident as people shared formally on the marae and in workshops, as well as in informal gatherings the importance of working together, bringing all threads together through the eye of the needle. And in that weaving create a new entity stronger for the fusion of the various threads.

of trust in Luxon. He could not manage to say anything credible and we watched his majority slip away. Seymour made a similar mistake by focusing on NZ First and Peters, instead of sticking to his message of cutting the regulation which has turned this country into an inefficient basket case. Case in point, the recently announced Piarere roundabout at a cost of $43.5 million - almost 10 times the cost of a roundabout I built on the SH1/SH5 intersection 1km south of Piarere in 2014. It is still working well and there have been no serious or fatal crashes. Now Luxon is on Winston’s leash and just seems happy to be there regardless. Sad though all this is, at least it is heartening to see the electorate is not taken in by this sham. One model of successful democracy in action is called deliberative democracy where random groups are chosen to make decisions. They are given relevant information and deliberate to come to agreement. This form of governance is close to the original model of democracy and has been shown to provide good outcomes as those involved have no vested interests. We need to do something different - what we are doing is not working. This all leads into the question: why is the electorate so uninterested in local body elections?

The Coalition Government’s stated intentions with reexamining (re-wording? re-negotiating?) Te Tiriti o Waitangi; with the privileging of English (devaluing of Māori Language?) and its assertions that their intention is to bring people together has captured the attention of ‘ngā hau e whā’, the four winds of Māoridom and other New Zealanders. Far from the hui being, as the deputy leader of New Zealand First asserted it would be, a whinge session of monumental proportions, the overwhelming message was that of a unity amongst Māori, which would extend across the land in the unifying of all New Zealanders and the fulfilling of the promises in Te Tiriti o Waitangi and the assertion of Kingi Pōtatau Te Wherowhero’s vision of all threads coming though the eye of the needle. Each retaining its own integrity, but together creating something new with its own potential. The calling of the hui is a model for democracy at its best. Māori rangatira sought the leadership of their King, with his proclamation via his Coat of Arms, Te Paki o Matariki, for iwi Māori to gather in the spirit of unity – kotahitanga – to ‘wānanga’ and to consider positive steps forward in the principled messages in Te Tiriti o Waitangi, and the support for the revival and survival of Māori language,. King Potatau Te Wherowhero’s words are furthered in his succesor King Tawhiao’s ‘tongi’ ‘Ki te kotahi te kākaho ka whati; ki te kapuia, e kore e whati.’ The single reed singly will break. Bunched together, never.

Picture this…

The truth about diamonds

By Murray Smith, Bridges Church

By Janine Krippner

An old saying goes, “a picture is worth a thousand words.” That is, a visual image conveys thoughts and concepts a thousand times more effectively than any verbal description. For example, describing how a relative from generations back might have looked, is simplified if an old family photograph exists. Photos, older ones particularly, provide insight and context into the lives of our forebears - they offer us graphic record of world events, of a nation’s past. They document notable happenings, the calamities of war, sorrowful occasions and triumphant celebrations… they are reminders, linking us with our past, our origins. It was about six months before the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi in February 1840, that black and white photography burst on the scene introducing a wonderful new instrument for ‘recording’ history. But it wasn’t really until the 1860’s that New Zealand photographers began to use this technology to document life going on around them as it happened. Until the 1950’s and into the 60’s when advances in colour technology soared, we had lived on a black and white diet of photography. How things have changed. Viewing old black and white (or monochrome) single colour photographs, offers fascinating glimpses into a life that has forever gone. I have early photographs of both my grand and great-grandparents to remind me of this. One image I’m particularly drawn to is of my grandfather- Hugh N. Smith. He looks handsome sporting a big bushy moustache, dressed smartly, complete with hat, sitting in a horse drawn carriage. Pencil notes visible

on the photo, state the year as 1918 and names another gentleman as a Mr A. Gould. Even the two horses’ names are noted. I never knew this grandfather. He died tragically in an accident on a construction site when my father was a toddler - thus my Dad never knew him either. Growing up I had heard about my grandfather being a good person. In his thirties when he died, he was a reputable man of stature, a loving husband and father to his little boy, an accomplished builder, musician and a man who cared about others. But the photo I refer to, communicates lots more about him. He’s sitting on what was known as the ‘Bible Carriage’. This was a ministry sponsored by the Open Brethren churches and supported by volunteers who travelled considerable distances into the provinces to bring the gospel message. A key focus was to reach Māori who in that era, were concentrated in rural areas where their culture, language and way of life was largely hidden to many pakeha. The photo delights me. It speaks of Grandpa Hugh’s zeal for others to find their best life. The sign-written quote on the side of the Carriage says “I mate a te Karaiti mo o tatou hara” (Christ died for our sins). Clearly, he valued his faith enough to share it. What things might we be remembered for? In time, will old photos confirm the values you lived by? May God enable you to leave an eternal legacy of good… picture that!

Have you seen the inspirational quote “a diamond is merely a lump of coal that did well under pressure”? While I agree with the sentiment of not giving up, to keep going, and that we can evolve into something more beautiful by growing through hard times, the saying is bogus. Diamonds are not coal under pressure. I assume that this comes from the fact that they are both composed of carbon, but the origin story of diamonds is actually way cooler. Society has been convinced that diamonds are a girl’s best friend, and you must show your love through diamonds. Many reject this now, especially knowing the harm that diamond mining causes (please make sure they are ethically sourced), and the financial pressure this places on people. Diamonds were brought to the Earth’s surface during mostly violent eruptions a very long time ago. Diamonds do form under immense pressure, but in the mantle, around 200km or deeper. Much deeper than coal would survive. A rare magma type called Kimberlite rips apart chunks of mantle rock that contains the diamonds and carries them rapidly towards the surface. This is some of the deepest magma that reaches the surface, and by rapid, I mean it may travel around 150200km upwards in hours to a couple of days. There has been a great deal of research done on Kimberlites partly because of their economic importance, partly because we love to understand every type of eruption, and also because they help us understand the deeper parts of our Earth. Diamonds are the hardest mineral, and with their thermal conductivity this makes them very useful. Large amounts of diamonds are used for

industrial processes like drilling, cutting, and polishing. They are not the glamourous diamonds we think of. Scientists have figured out that kimberlite eruptions may be related to the process of tectonic plates pulling apart, occurring 20-30 million years after the process begins. Kimberlites at the surface are millions to 2.5 billion years old, we aren’t even a blink of an eye in these timescales. On the smaller scale, many diamonds contain small dots or imperfections that make them even more interesting (and cheaper). These are tiny time capsules called fluid or melt inclusions that were trapped inside as the diamond grew. Studying inclusions is an important part of unravelling their ancient stories. We understand that the magma likely started out at around 1350 to 1450°C, then cooled by a few hundred degrees during their ascent. This changes the magma in significant ways while it is moving. Just like other magma, this doesn’t always lead to an eruption. We also have intrusions that cooled to solid rock below ground and have since been exposed at the surface by processes including erosion over many millions of years. While the inspirational idea of coal turning to diamond may be rubbish, diamonds are incredible parts of ancient eruptions of rare magmas sourced from deep below our feet, that formed in very high pressures and temperatures, then were brought to the surface at amazing speeds. A diamond ring symbolically means forever, and compared to our wee lifetimes, they pretty much are.

Seconds out - it’s cube time By Jeremy Smith

“Is that scrambled enough?” I ask. My efforts are futile – of course – and I should have known better, really. Tamahere Model Country School student Dylan Heerikhuisen, 9, holds most existing club records at the newly-established Waikato Speedcubers Club. He solves the scrambled cube I just handed him in seconds. It runs in the family. Brother Jaden, 14, a year 10 student at St Peter’s Cambridge this year - is also a speedcube whizz. Founded in August, Waikato Speedcubers Club has met monthly at Te Kete Aronui Rototuna Library since. It’s first 2024 gathering is this month, but when members last got together, some friendly sibling rivalry was on display as Jaden and Dylan faced off for first and second fastest in the club before an in-house audience. The new club has 12 members

Waikato wide, aged seven through to adults. Cambridge High School year 13 student Mikaela Davidson is among them. For the uninitiated, myself included, Jaden sums up speedcubing – “…essentially, it’s solving a rotating puzzle as fast as possible. That can include cubes and puzzles of many different shapes and sizes.” The most well-known, the three by three by three cube, is the siblings’ favourite. Jaden’s best time is six seconds. “The secret to speedcubing is to solve the cube from bottom to top. And, my favourite part is seeing improvements in my overall speed.” Dylan’s best time in competition with the same cube is 7.5 seconds. The three by three by three cube world record - set last July by American Max Park – is 3.13 seconds. The Waikato Speedcubers Club was founded by Lauren Bruce after her son Zavier, 11, who goes to Hamilton’s Southwell School,

met Jaden and Dylan at the 2022 national championships in Auckland. “We realised every other region in New Zealand had a club, and that meant they could meet up and practice together before competitions. But, Waikato didn’t. “Interestingly now, every time we have a meet up, we have walk ins where people see what we are doing and want their child to join,” Lauren said. Competition wise, the most recent opportunity Jaden, Dylan and Zavier had to test their skills was at last year’s nationals in Wellington before Christmas. Jaden and Dylan achieved personal bests in almost every category they were in. Among future opportunities is potentially competing at next year’s World Cubing Association World Championship in Seattle. “One awesome thing about speedcubing, I think, is no matter how fast you get there’s always something new to learn,” Dylan said.

Singer’s Cambridge links revealed

Classical crossover singer Rebecca Nelson told a Cambridge audience this week how the town holds a special place in her heart. Her performance in the Town Hall on Tuesday for residents of Ryman Healthcare’s Patrick Hogan Village was also an opportunity for her to catch up with the hall’s general manager

Simon Brew. Her special blend of wartime, classical and popular songs and show tunes was one of three for Ryman this month. The others were at Hilda Ross in Hamilton and James Wattie in Havelock North. But the highlight came five years ago when she performed

at the 100th anniversary commemorations of the liberation of Le Quesnoy, Cambridge’s sister town in France. “It’s an amazing story,” she told The News before the show, describing the Kiwi soldiers’ brave campaign to wrest the town back from the Germans who had held it throughout most of WW1.

“When I was over in Le Quesnoy I worked with the Cambridge Brass Band who had flown over for the 100th commemoration and helped to bless the New Zealand museum built over there. “And I worked with them again in Cambridge, this time at a concert at the Town Hall.” This was where she discovered another special connection. Simon was the musical director of the Air Force Band and the pair worked together. Being Able Musician Rebecca Nelson with Royal New Zealand Navy (RNZN) led to her inclusion in several big Anzac commemorations in Gallipoli in 2015 where she sang for both the then Prince Charles and Prince Harry. She later secured Charles’ royal stamp of approval on her album Reverence, which was made with Ryman’s backing, with the sales

proceeds going to her charity Te Kiwi Māia, or the Courageous Kiwi Charitable Trust. She presented Prince Charles with one of the first copies to be released when he toured New Zealand the same week as the album’s launch. The charity has been going ‘really well’ ever since, she says. “We have started running programmes to look after first responders suffering burnout or stress and we have helped 32 people now with amazing results.” Now with a recent promotion to Lieutenant, Rebecca hopes 2024 could be another royal-tinged year, with King Charles’ return to New Zealand looming. “I’ve just written him a letter,” she laughs. “I have seen him twice in New Zealand, once at his house and twice at commemorations so I think I have a strong case.”

Latest Rollie Arrivals Recycling – it’s all for one By Roy Pilott

The bad news is that your milk bottle tops, and millions of other blue caps, are going to landfill. The good news is that a standardised kerbside recycling programme launched across the country this week should divert an extra 36,000 tonnes of waste away from those landfills. Senior policy analyst Harry Livesey, responding to questions put by The News to the Ministry for the Environment, said the saving would amount to almost 30kg of recyclable material for every household each year.

That’s a fair few plastic bottles and cans. It will also reduce greenhouse gas emissions from landfill and generate more value from recyclable materials, he said. But what about those milk bottle tops which I have always put into the recycling bin on the bottle having squeezed the air out? Those and other caps may be made from recyclable material but there are two problems with them – firstly, they often arrive at a recycling centre still on the bottle – containing curdled milk or cream Dukethe St,recycling Cambridge - and46 secondly, systems can’t handle such small objects. 07 827 0405 46Speaking Duke St, of Cambridge.

We don’t need to check any more. What about metal lids? They are out too – again, there is a likelihood they will be trapping contents in containers. So ice cream container lids get the heave-ho into the rubbish bin, too. In fact, so does anything smaller than 5cm square. “Even small amounts of contents left in containers adds to contamination of the materials for recycling and can mean the materials recovery facility faces penalties or has bales rejected,” Livesey said. The ministry says it is working with manufacturers, retailers, and recyclers to develop solutions for lids. Nationwide, around 16 per cent of items put out for recycling don’t belong in the recycling bin – while 13 per cent of household “rubbish” contains recyclable material. Food producers present a significant amount of their produce in plastic which is not recyclable – think shrink wrap on your Wattie’s baked beans three pack or the plastic bag holding your daily bread. Livesey says facilities would need infrastructure upgrades to sort soft-plastics and at present they are not financially viable for recycling. The industry have been tasked with designing a plastic packaging product stewardship scheme, which would include soft-plastics, and it is likely that industry will eventually cover recycling costs. So there you go – it’s caps off to New Zealand’s standardised recycling system, and don’t say you weren’t told.

New bus links to Hamilton

Matangi, Tauwhare and Tamahere residents can now connect to the Hamilton city bus network through two trial services starting this month. The 14-seater sprinter buses will connect with the Hillcrest, Waikato University and Hamilton Gardens routes as well as the Meteor and Orbiter services from February 12. Waikato District Council is funding the service as a trial for two or three years. This gives time to collect feedback and assess passenger uptake. The Tauwhare Pā (27) service will make six return trips each day via Tauwhare Pā from Kahui Avenue, along Hoeka Road and SH26 to Ruakura Road. And the Matangi/Tamahere (28)

service will make seven return trips from Tamahere Eventide via Newell, Tauwhare, Matangi and Morrinsville roads. Both services terminate at the university transport hub, in Gate 1 on Knighton Road, which has shops, amenities and several urban bus connections. Eugene Patterson, Waikato District Council’s Infrastructure committee chair and representative on the Future Proof Public Transport subcommittee, says that communities in this area have consistently asked for a bus service connection to Hamilton. “We are extremely pleased to set up this trial on the understanding that,

ON A HOT SUMMERS DAY

should we have good patronage uptake, we will seek co-funding from the New Zealand Transport Agency Waka Kotahi to make these services more permanent in the future.” Waikato regional councillor and Future Proof Public Transport Subcommittee deputy chair Angela Strange says the sprinter buses enable more frequency on these routes, which is proving popular across the network. “Frequency keeps coming up as people’s main request of our public transport services and we believe six and seven trips a day will work well here.” Bee Card ticketing will be available on board and SuperGold concessions can be The Tamahere bus stop down from Tamahere Eventide which will loaded to them. be open for business from February 12.

COMMUNITY BOARD COMMENT

Inflation – it’s mixed news

Tell us what you want

Many people here and overseas are scrutinising inflation data closely trying to predict when central banks will start lowering their official interest rates. Late last year, most of the inflation news was positive. Though inflation rates almost everywhere were still well above the central banks’ target rates, inflation was falling rapidly. The idea that official interest rates could rise further in 2024 largely disappeared and commentators began to speculate on whether the first official rate reduction would occur in the second, third or fourth quarter this year. Unfortunately the recent inflation news hasn’t been so positive. It hasn’t been bad - but it has been mixed. In the US, annual inflation was 3.4 per cent in the year to December 2023, an increase from 3.1 per cent in the year to November. US inflation this cycle had peaked at 9.1 per cent in June 2022 so to have it down to just over 3 per cent 18 months later is remarkable. But the uptick in December will probably cause the US Federal Reserve to be cautious about starting to reduce interest rates. A similar thing has happened in the UK. Inflation in the year to December 2023 rose by 4 per cent, a marginal increase over the 3.9 per cent rise in the November year. UK’s inflation rate peaked at 11.1 per cent in the year to October 2022 so the slow-down in inflation in the UK has been similarly remarkable. The other recent negative news from overseas is from the Middle East. In particular, the attacks on shipping in the Red Sea has brought back fears around supply chains and transport costs. This was one of the main triggers of the last

As the new year gets underway, the Cambridge Community Board is gearing up for another year of advocacy and connecting with our community. Our role is to bridge the gap between you, the community, and Waipā District Council. How do we do that? We make it our business to understand the wants and needs of our community and we feed that back to council. We do this by being part of the many committees that exist in Cambridge such as the Urban Mobility working group, Cambridge Connections, Cambridge Committee of Social Services, the Safer Cambridge Trust, the Cambridge Tree Trust, the Leamington Domain Working group and many others. We attend council meetings, work closely with council staff on a range of issues and hold monthly public meetings where we discuss issues facing the community. We hold a public forum before every board meeting where community members are welcome to present to us on any issue they would like. Last year we heard from community members about issues such as car parking options on Lake Street, rubbish on the streets around Cambridge, the establishment of a youth event space (now called Whare 211) on Victoria Street, commentary on council’s annual report and the freshwater clams found at Lake Karāpiro. This year we want to hear more from you on any issue that you are facing or wish to discuss. You can do this by emailing me or any of the board or by attending one of our monthly meetings and presenting to us.

surge in global inflation. These uncertainties will also make central banks cautious about putting their policy interest rates into reverse too soon. In New Zealand, the latest inflation data did not disappoint or surprise analysts as it did in the US and UK. The annual inflation rate to December 2023 was 4.7 per cent, a significant decline from 5.6 per cent in the year to September (we do not publish monthly CPI data). The rise of 4.7 per cent was less than the Reserve Bank had forecast so it should be happy. Prices for about onethird of the items included in the CPI basket fell in the December quarter. This should also please the reserve bank. One element in the data that won’t make the bank happy is that it was imported tradeable inflation that fell the most – it was just 3 per cent. Domestically-driven inflation continued to roar along at 5.9 per cent. I still expect central banks to start bringing their official interest rates down in 2024, but the recent unfavourable inflation news has probably shifted those moves to the middle or second half of the year. The reserve bank was one of the first to move when central banks started to raise their official interest rates in late 2021. Will they be one of the first to move in the reverse direction? The tone of most of recent comments makes that unlikely. The bank’s Chief Economist, Paul Conway was to speak about the inflation picture after I submitted this column and before it was published. I think his speech will get more attention than usual as people like me try to sense the ‘tone’.

We have two Waipā councillors that sit on our board and often have council staff attend, so it is a great opportunity for them to also hear your thoughts or concerns. You can find the details of our meetings in the Cambridge News or on their website. The Cambridge Pathway Plan is well underway along Hamilton Road, down Bryce Street and along through Wilson Street. The board worked alongside council staff and cycling experts in the planning of this path. We gave our feedback and were involved in the public consultation process. We support the provision of more walking and cycling paths within Cambridge and believe that although the construction of these pathways can cause some short-term disruption, in the long term they will only better our town. Those that need or wish to use their car will find parking easier and the town’s traffic congestion reduced. Soon, Waipā District Council will release their draft Long-Term Plan. The Long-Term Plan is a document which sets the direction for the district and is formally reviewed and updated every three years. It describes the activities of council and shows the whole picture of how the activities are managed, delivered, and funded. Once this draft plan has been released, we would love to hear your thoughts on it.
