Robberies: 3 charged By Roy Pilott
Police have made three arrests following two service station robberies in Cambridge. Challenge in Duke St was hit in an armed raid on February 2 and BP in Leamington five days later. And as this edition was about to go to press, Detective Senior Sergeant Ross Patterson announced three males had been arrested. The trio comprised two 17 year olds from Hamilton and an 18-year-old from Cambridge. Patterson said CIB staff had made the robberies a priority case and a matter of urgency. In the Challenge case, where four robbers were involved, one threatened a staff member with a firearm. In the second, a staff member at BP Leamington suffered a wrist injury after being hit with a crowbar. Following the incidents Challenge service station owner Dave Wilkinson told The News “we’re all just sick of it”. Senior Constable Deb Hann has told retailers via the Cambridge Chamber of Commerce to be vigilant, especially at opening and closing times. “I recommend that staff do not work alone at these vulnerable times. Look out for cars parked up close by, especially where occupants are still inside. At all times look out for anyone that appears to be casing out the service station,” she warned. The memo came on the day of the second robbery and she said
BP in Leamington became the second target for robbers in the space of five days. the timing and circumstances were very similar to the earlier one. In both cases, the robbers appeared to have “cased out” the station and were aware of the staff’s morning routines. The incidents in Cambridge came after Waikato police said they had rumbled one robbery ring. Operation Smelter, targeting a group responsible for a series of aggravated robberies, led to the arrest of 10 people, as young as 14, on, among other things, aggravated robbery and burglary counts. The two Cambridge incidents have fuelled debate over the placement of CCTV cameras in the town.
SUPER CRICKET
In both cases CCTV footage was obtained from the service stations. Wilkinson told The News last week he was frustrated at the lack of a CCTV camera in Duke Street and that he understood the number plate recognition on one camera was not working on all vehicles. It is understood that a late January incident around the intersection of Victoria St and Norfolk Drive Down where drivers performed “donuts and burnouts”, causing damage to the road around midnight was in an area not covered by camera. The incident was described as “an hour of chaos”. Waipā District Council works with community groups around
the placement of cameras. Wilkinson pointed to a community led effort in Wairarapa which he believed could bear fruit in Waipā. He was impressed by the initiative after reading a Hawke’s Bay Today report which told how 18 CCTV cameras had been added to the central Hawke’s Bay security network in Waipukurau and Waipawa thanks to a community project started 10 years ago. Since the establishment of the CHB Community Security Trust in 2016 more than $50,000 had been raised for cameras attached privately owned building and monitored at the Waipukurau police station.

Opinions expressed are not necessarily those of the publishers. The Cambridge News is published by Good Local Media Ltd and is the most widely distributed newspaper in Cambridge and rural surrounds.
Two columns in The Cambridge News (January 18) drew attention to the massive problems facing New Zealand as a result of decades of short-term planning and underfunding of the county’s infrastructure at both the national and local levels. Peter Nicholl in his economics column wrote of the infrastructure deficit and the false economy of delay. Mike Keir in his Waikato District Council commentary drew attention to the delays and cost overruns to major projects caused by divided responsibilities and bureaucratic processes. Both presented solid arguments for a new approach. If they expect their considered views to have much effect, I wish them well. They might live in hope rather than expectation. I worked for rather more years than was good for my sanity in the Parliamentary press gallery and have been a close observer of governments since then. The views of Peter and Mike echo those expressed with depressing regularity over many decades. In the mid-1970s an organisation was established called the Commission for
the Future. It was set up as a think-tank to examine the probable future of New Zealand on a longer term than that dictated by the three-year electoral cycle and slow bureaucratic processes. It had no powers but was expected to provide governments with forecasts and recommendations as a guide to the probable future needs of the country. By 1979 it was producing papers backed by solid research and well-reasoned forecasting. Among the reports that year were papers on priorities for conservation, changes in international relations, resources and technology sustainability, preparations for the electronic age and education policies for the year 2000 They are depressing to read in the year 2024. Such wasted opportunities. The Commission for the Future stopped producing papers in 1982, partly because of the disapproval of Prime Minister Muldoon and, I suspect, the way their work disappeared into the files of the national archive never to be seen again or acted on. In the late 1990s I was closely involved with two large infrastructure projects which

Shop those thieves
Hello again, thank you to everyone who is being patient and following instructions when it comes to the continuing road works around Cambridge. Staff working on these projects deserve to be treated with courtesy and respect – it is not ok for them to be subject to verbal abuse or driving behaviour that could put them or others at risk. Allow extra time for your travel and remain patient. Retail theft continues to be a regular occurrence in town, with many offenders coming from other areas in the Waikato. The expressway offers us a great connection in and out, but this convenience equally applies to offenders entering Cambridge and then making their escape after committing offences. I’d like to remind everyone to be on the lookout for suspicious behaviour in store, especially where there are groups of two or three people together. We have many sole charge shops in town, making it easier for the staff member to be distracted by one offender, while their accomplice conceals items. If as a customer instore, you notice someone concealing items, please alert the store staff. In one incident recently, brazen shoplifters sought customer service from staff while apparently browsing. One offender then took a full trolley of items up to the counter to engage the staff member. His accomplice hovered near the exit and in hindsight,
looked very antsy. The first offender suddenly bolted for the door, and both ran out, pushing the trolley load of expensive items away to their waiting vehicle. Thieves are increasingly confrontational. Another shoplifting incident saw a couple and their two children all engage in what was clearly a planned supermarket theft. Efforts by store staff to intervene saw even the children becoming aggressive, highlighting the willingness of many motivated offenders to assault staff in order to make an escape. Staff safety should be held front of mind in that regard. If you call 111 in the heat of the moment, we stand a better chance of catching offenders when they are still present or having just left the location. Do not wait until after offenders have driven away to call police. Staff witnessing an incident in progress should feel empowered to make the call on behalf of their colleagues. This increases the chance of us recovering stolen property and strengthens evidence against them - for example CCTV images of clothing matching what they were wearing when arrested. If we can identify and arrest offenders, we put a halt to what is often an ongoing pattern of offending, and address underlying issues. Have a good week.

failed to go ahead because of short-term thinking. Now, 25 years, later, both projects are again in the news. The first is the recent announcement by the new government that it has ordered work to stop on new ferry terminals to cater for larger vessels on the inter-island run. Shortly before the turn of the millennium a plan was made to shift the southern terminal from Picton to Grassmere on the Marlborough coast. This would reduce the road travel on trucks for the return journey between Wellington and Christchurch by around 60 kilometres with consequent savings in time and fuel. Much the same applied to freight travelling by train. Other benefits were that the sea journey would take around two hours rather than three, meaning ships could make an extra return journey each day. A side benefit was that a north-south route would be generally more comfortable than the east-west route across Cook Strait with its strong currents. It would also have eased erosion concerns in the Marlborough Sounds with the prospect of larger vessels in the narrow waterways. Land had been bought at Grassmere and the resource consent process was well advanced when it was decided the short-term costs outweighed the long-term benefits. The second infrastructure project of the late 1990s which suffered much the same fate was the extension of Auckland’s rail network to the airport. Few probably now remember that we were within 48 hours of signing an agreement for construction. The venue was booked, the champaign was in the cooler and the tiny sandwiches had been ordered. In those days Auckland had a collection of local councils and at the last minute one decided to oppose the project. The whole thing collapsed. At the time there was a considerable amount of empty land on the proposed route. Now it is solid housing and factories. The cost of land purchase alone, regardless of increases in construction costs, would be astronomically higher than 25 years ago. Aucklanders could have been enjoying an airport rail link for 20 years. All of which brings me in a round-about way to a local issue which I see facing much the same problem in a few years’ time – the third Cambridge bridge. Regardless of the arguments for or against going ahead with the bridge right now there is an issue that should be faced immediately. The bridge will be needed in time. Let’s identify a site and buy or covenant the land for the routes to link with the current roading system. At the rate Cambridge is expanding that opportunity will be gone in a few years. Like Peter Nicholl and Mike Keir I live in hope.

Briefs… Open for business
The current roadworks in Wilson St have left some readers with the impression the Waipā District Council offices and the adjacent library in Cambridge might be closed. That is incorrect – the offices are open as normal.
Window cracked
Heavy winds in Cambridge earlier this month cracked Colonial Antique’s original Empire Street shop windows when a tree across the shared path fell into the glass. The windows are thought to have been part of the Central Court building since 1927. Owner Joanna McIntosh said the windows were stabilised by Cambridge Glass and will be replaced later this week.
Grant available
Waipā community groups can now apply for funding to support their projects or events from the council’s Community Discretionary Fund. Cambridge Community Board has $29,595, Te Awamutu-Kihikihi Community Board $8452 and Pirongia ward committee $10,130. Community clubs, groups and organisations are eligible, with one-off projects and fundraising events prioritised. Applications close on March 1.
Web check
A quiet news start to the year saw numbers visiting the Cambridge News website dip slightly on last year when kiwifruit orchards and the death of Sir Patrick Hogan saw readers flock online. But the launch of our Cambridge App last month seems to have drawn some of those users to that platform instead. Top website page last month was our landing page followed by three news items which occurred as our newspaper went to press, highlighting the benefits of having an App for mobile devices. Michael Morton’s Tui catch at the cricket a decade ago was the best read news post followed by the delay in building a new primary school in Cambridge’s western suburbs.
John and the end frame
By Roy Pilott
His Leamington workshop is a visual tribute to his skills as a painter and a framer. John Chrisp has spent the last 18 years putting people’s memories in the frame – but this week he has taken the sign down outside his home. It really is the end frame. “I’ve worked five days a week since I was 18,” he explained. His key tools of the trade – his hands – are stricken with arthritis and gripping things has become increasingly difficult – “I’ve had some horrible near misses”. Coupled with that, demand for his services slowed in 2023. It’s hard to compete with competition from The Warehouse and Briscoes – but he has still successfully upsold his product over the years. There is nothing to beat a well framed picture – particularly when the glass used is 99 per cent UV resistant. For many years he was completing two frames a day
and that kept him “more than happy”. Despite what people might say, nothing in a sunlit room escapes the ravages of direct sun – think about those book spines and, if you have them, the CD and DVD spines which end up a completely different colour. Then think about that happening to a cherished family picture. He has made thousands of frames since completing five months of study at The Fine Art Trade Guild and qualifying as a conservation grade framer. There have been tiny frames – and big ones – one three metres long showing the map of the world. “I could frame anything in my day,” he says. John was born in Gisborne in 1947 and his family owned a sports and music retail business - later it branched into electrical goods. “I got into the business in 1968 and Dad wanted me to take over…” But the great OE – overseas experience – had whetted his appetite for something

different and his next life was as a flight attendant, a job he had at Air New Zealand for 28 years. He also developed his skills as an artist and staged two successful exhibits in Auckland. He loved painting aircraft
from World War 2 – the extraordinarily intricate work evident on pictures in his studio is something he says he can no longer achieve. Today he concentrates on still life. John moved to Cambridge from Taupō in 2005 and
opened for business. In 2024, business is closed – but the man who put his first frame together as a seven year old of a Rolls-Royce cut from a magazine has plenty to keep him going. Driving his Jaguar, for example.
Karakia ‘about connecting again’ By Mary Anne Gill
Ngāti Koroki Kahukura’s Harry Wilson knows he’s in for a tough time at the next day’s karakia if he has a sleepless night. “I usually get dreams the day before,” he said after he blessed Cambridge Resthaven’s new apartments recently describing it as “spiritual cleansing”. People often tell him a karakia or blessing of buildings and spaces is a whole lot of “mumbo jumbo.” “I get that all the time, but your senses will know, will pick up on things. It’s all about appeasing those.” The Waikato still has a lot of areas that have not been blessed since the Land Wars of the 1840s and 1860s where an estimated 2990 people, including 736 British and Colonial troops and 2254 Māori, lost their lives. “It’s about connecting again and releasing that energy.” Wilson said he had a clear day before the
Resthaven karakia which he said was like being in a waka. “It was like sailing in with the breeze, plain sailing, using our energy, our thoughts and projecting that onto the space. Everything was cool.” But he recalled another blessing in Hamilton where he saw the image of Satan the night before. “When we went there, we had no information, nothing. So, I connected the energy and made everything safe.” Wilson’s ancestor is Tūkāroto Matutaera Pōtatau Te Wherowhero Tāwhiao (King Tāwhiao) who was born in Ōrongokoekoeā – halfway between Te Kūiti and Taumarunui in the King Country – in 1822 and died in Pārāwera in August 1894. He was buried on Taupiri maunga but is not resting in peace yet, said Wilson. “He’s usually around with me and will look after me. His energy is there. He was always about the next generation. He’s still trying to fix it up. We want everyone to respect one another.” Wilson often gets calls from landowners to

Liquor hearing Cambridge gets a taste info on hold By Mary Anne Gill
As distilleries go, the laundry did the job, but a purpose-designed facility is a huge and significant upgrade, says the co-founder of a Cambridge gin distillery. James Coote, who is also a Rowing NZ coach, reflected on the journey he and partner Will Rendell, a banker, have been on since they founded Cambridge Distillery Company nearly three years ago. The families – James and Rebecca Coote and Will and Shannon Rendell – got to know each other when they all moved to Cambridge in 2018 During Covid 19 lockdown their gin project began. The first batches were distilled in the Rendells’ laundry and then in a garage and finally a micro-distillery in Alpha Street where they opened a tasting room on the weekend. At a launch function on Friday night, Coote recalled those early beginnings. “From turning up many, many times in their driveway and them saying ‘James is here, again’…. we were like flatmates.” The first bottle was undrinkable but by May 2022 they were able to put six bottles of their Knocknaveagh flagship dry gin into a Waipā wine shop and let supporters know via social media. Knockaveagh was the farm in County Cavan, Ireland where Coote’s ancestors were from. They left to come to New Zealand in 1862 and the old farm house features on the bottles as a reminder of the paths that bring new opportunities. Taupō MP Louise Upston, who lives just outside Cambridge, was the first

purchaser noting in a post that she would “crack it open tomorrow night ….. delayed gratification”. “I loved that it was a local story,” Upston said at the opening. She described herself as a “discerning” gin drinker who now had a good collection of Cambridge gin. “I’m looking forward to some of the combinations profiling the local botanicals. "I definitely bought the first bottle and I’m sure I won’t be the last.” There are hundreds of botanicals used to flavour gin. The Cambridge gins comprise ones such as grapefruit, juniper, chamomile, cardamon, angelica, coriander, orange peel, cucumber and lemon. The company’s first major award came last year at the Australian Gin Awards where
it won a gold medal for its Knocknaveagh Black Label gin. The enterprise is a credit to Coote’s passion for all things really food and booze, said Rendell. “I’m just tagging along for the ride.” Also joining them in recent times is world champion rower Jackie Kiddle who designed the logo seen on bottles, drew the botanicals used and designed an exhibition gin bottle for the Rendells. She and Coote are heading to the Olympics in Paris later this year. “People who have tasted (our gin) have given us honest feedback,” said Coote. The working micro-distillery is open to the public every weekend and visitors can see production behind the scenes.
An adjourned liquor licence hearing for Five Stags in Pirongia went ahead earlier this month and the liquor licensing authority is using the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act (Lgoima) to process The News’ application for more details. The hearing was to go ahead five months ago but owner Night Pearl (2021) Ltd needed more time to provide supporting information. The hearing was held in Te Awamutu earlier this month to decide whether to grant an On Licence which would include the outdoor dining areas as part of the restaurant. The Waipā District Licensing committee – an independent, standalone committee appointed under the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act – told The News it wanted to redact (blank out) some “confidential information” in the papers and to achieve this it would process the request as a “Lgoima”. The director of the company which owns Five Stags – formerly the Alexandra Hotel – is Yafei Bao of Hamilton who was appointed in September 2021, three months after shareholder Xinyan Luo of China bought the premises. Bao’s manager’s certificate was renewed last March. The hotel has a freehold site of more than 4000 square metres with a hunting themed bar and restaurant facilities. Though dating back to 1865, the present hotel was rebuilt following a fire and now has a five-room hotel, dining and bar areas. The restaurant seats 110 people and there are three outdoor bar areas.

TREES AND POWERLINES WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Managing your trees will help prevent power outages and keep the community safe. Check your trees regularly and keep them trimmed so they stay clear of the Growth Limit Zone.
TREE TRIMMING DANGERS Trimming trees near power lines can be extremely hazardous. Contact with a power line can cause: • Injury or death to yourself, family, community members or livestock • Damage to property • Damage to power supply facilities and electrical appliances • Damage to third parties Before attempting to clear tree foliage in the vicinity of live conductors you should phone Waipā Networks for advice.
Branch Movement: Although the tree foliage may appear to be at a safe distance from the lines, once you begin the work the tree may move due to pressure placed on branches, random wind gusts or other external interference. Be wary of any tree branches that may flick up as they are trimmed or as surrounding branches are cleared. Wet Weather: Branches often hang lower when the leaves are wet, so if it starts to rain, or if the leaves are already wet you should expect some movement. Debris: Ensure there is clear space to allow for debris when tree triming.
THERE ARE RULES ABOUT SAFE DISTANCES BETWEEN TREES AND POWER LINES In the Zone The Electricity (Hazards from Trees) Regulations 2003 define two zones: a Growth Limit Zone and a Notice Zone.
Growth Limit Zone In relation to Waipa Networks equipment this is the area within 1.6 metres in any direction of our 11kV electrical lines or 0.5 metres for 400/230V lines. If any of your tree foliage is within this Zone then it must be trimmed to beyond the Notice Zone.
Notice Zone Growth Limit Zone: any tree growing in the Growth Limit Zone (see diagram) must only be trimmed by a Waipā Networks authorised person.
ELECTRICITY REGULATIONS The Electricity (Hazards from Trees) Regulations 2003 set out the responsibilities of tree owners and lines companies in relation to trees and power lines. Waipa Networks has developed procedures to meet these regulations, summarised below:
This is the area 1 metre in all directions around the Growth Limit Zone. If we become aware of trees growing in this zone we may issue you with a ’Cut & Trim Notice’ to let you know that the tree must not be allowed to grow into the Growth Limit Zone For further information contact our Vegetation Team 07 872 0745 or trees@waipanetworks.co.nz
• If Waipa Networks become aware of a tree that you are responsible for growing within the Notice Zone, you may be issued with a Hazard Warning Notice.
Notice Zone Growth Limit Zone
• If Waipa Networks become aware of a tree you are responsible for growing within the Growth Limit Zone, you will be issued with a Cut or Trim Notice.
1.6m
• You must have the tree trimmed so that it no longer encroaches the Notice Zone or Growth Limit Zone. Dispensation can be applied for if there is a valid reason for the tree to be allowed to grow within the Notice or Growth Limit Zones.
2.6m
• Tree triming is available free of charge from Waipa Networks provided it is the first trim. Subsequent trimming is the responsibility of the owner. • At any stage you can declare ‘No Interest’ in a tree and Waipa Networks will meet the costs of any future trimming, or may decide to remove the tree altogether. • Where we become aware of a tree close to the lines and likely to cause danger to the public or property we have the ability to remove the tree or branch causing the hazard.
If you receive a ‘Cut or Trim Notice’ you must use an approved Utility Arborist to trim or fell the trees. If you repeatedly ignore a ‘Cut or Trim Notice’ you could be fined up to $10,000 plus $500 for each day that you continue to ignore them.

Property values: how Waipa rates By Mary Anne Gill
Waipā property prices increased 129.3 per cent in a decade making it the 10th best district in the country, figures from Real Estate NZ show. Nationally, the average asking price was up by 77.5 per cent, increasing from $504,388 in 2014 to $895,289 in 2023. The average Waipā asking price in 2014 was $473,697; last year it was $1,086,339.
The figures do not take into consideration variances between towns. The median asking price in the last 12 months for Karāpiro was $1,575,000, Ngāhinapōuri $1,349,000, Te Miro $1,300,000, Ōhaupō $1,250,000, Cambridge $1,100,000, Pirongia $1,059,000, Te Awamutu $750,000 and Kihikihi $722,500. Nationally, the standout years for significant price growth were 2019 to 2022, with the average asking price increasing by
almost 40 per cent. Unprecedented growth in 2021 and 2022 can be attributed to several factors, including low interest rates, population growth and limited housing supply, which combined to create a competitive market environment. In the Waikato region, while Waipā’s percentage increase put it at second, below South Waikato in first – its average price went up from $204,292 to $553,926 – it was second in total value behind Waikato district
Gymnasts face a hurdle By Mary Anne Gill
Cambridge’s gymnastics club is not struggling for members but without some more community support it might be forced to close its doors at the end of the term. The rental at its Shakespeare Street facility which the club moved into four years ago for the extra floor area, upkeep of the equipment and training for the coaches are just some of the costs volunteers need to raise funds for. Treasurer Larissa Bubb said she and other volunteers were passionate about the club and the positive impact it has on the lives of local youth. “We provide the community with a safe, inclusive and supportive environment where individuals can develop their physical, mental and social skills through gymnastics.” The club began in 1979 although gymnastics as an activity has been around since ancient Greek times and has always been an Olympic sport. The physical exercises develop strength and coordination through acrobatic feats both on mats and on special apparatus designed to demonstrate strength, balance and body control.
on $1,155,673 from $532,295 a decade ago. Again, it does not consider the significant variances with the median asking price in Tamahere for the past 12 months being $1,779,500 while in Huntly it was $539,000. Districts ahead of Waipā were Hauraki Gulf Islands (171.8), Kawerau (261.2), Taupō (132.5), Wānaka (135.3), Rangitikei (132.6), Whanganui (142.6), Horowhenua (149.8), South Taranaki (131.2), South Waikato (171.1).
But the rent arrears – due by March 20 – are a looming worry for the not for profit club. “We need to get over this hurdle as soon as possible to be able to move forward and put our efforts in to bringing the club forward and making it the club everyone is talking about because it is so good and you can learn so much,” said Bubb. “We are throwing everything at this to try and do it but need the community to get behind us and help as well if possible. I know it is a tough time for many and we are all feeling it but it would be heartbreaking if we have to close.” Last season the club had 250 members, a seven-strong committee, three “friends of the committee”, qualified coaches and student coaches in training which the club pays for. One of the most popular classes is the tumbling one where children can flip, do cartwheels and just jump around. Stunts like backflips, handsprings, somersaults, and tucks are shown on the floor using tumbling mats for added cushion. The club held a fundraising barbecue at Mitre 10 in Cambridge on Saturday.

FAITH IN WAIPĀ
Dying to live
By Murray Smith, Bridges Church
Being human, means that with life, comes the inevitability of death. Being no respecter of persons, it comes for everyone. Some won’t necessarily relish engagement with this subject, hence all kinds of euphemisms are politely preferred, instead of that ‘D’ word. I can think of euphemisms (softer terms of expression), that blunt the reality of someone dying…’passed’, or ‘passed away’, ‘resting in peace’, ‘taken their last breath’, ‘gone to a better place,’ ‘departed’ and many others. Alternatively, I’ve often heard people ‘scoot’ around the death topic with uneasy levity using words that are probably attempts to remove the subject’s inherent ‘sting’ with expressions like ‘given up the ghost’, or ‘gone belly-up’, ‘kicked the bucket’, ‘snuffed it’, ‘met his Maker’ and a bizarre one I’ve heard a few times, ‘popped his clogs.’ While it is unhealthy to carry a pre-occupation with death, it’s equally unhealthy to live in avoidance mode as though it were irrelevant to our existence. It’s appropriate to contemplate death and have it in our reckoning, without it being at the
forefront of our thinking. I’ve journeyed frequently with families planning for the imminent death of a loved one, or dealing with loss following a loved one dying. Unexpected deaths are most difficult since the shock and sense of loss is amplified with the suddenness and lack of opportunity for saying ‘goodbyes.’ At least with advance warning, a certain level of adjusting is possible, as well as, importantly, much needed words can be offered and received. Listening to eulogies at funerals, I often hope the wonderful tributes and honouring words of appreciation being offered ‘posthumously,’ were expressed to the deceased in their lifetime…when doubtless it would have meant so much. I knew a lady who had a terminal condition yet believed she was going to get well despite losing ground daily. She would not tolerate her family engaging in ‘death talk’ and that was hurting everyone badly. The family wanted to talk, yet any conversation about dying and a funeral, was forbidden since she saw it as negative. Fortunately after gentle conversation and reasoning, she capitulated, giving the family precious
time to offer words they needed to express. Although she didn’t receive a physical healing, relationships were restored as healing words balmed, uplifted and brought understanding. An important question to conclude: How should you be ready for death before it comes? Being a ‘faith column’, here’s a faith perspective. My father in law felt unprepared and anxious as he lay dying. Seeking assurance about where he stood with God and what lay ahead, he’d called for a priest. My wife visited at the perfect time to join the conversation. She related joyfully how her own years of doubt and uncertainty were replaced in an instant with unshakeable peace and assurance. She shared a simple, earnest prayer of faith anyone can pray to accept Christ as their saviour, to receive forgiveness and eternal life - with that, came freedom from fears and doubts. So, death is not the end… for a believer it’s a new beginning. Shedding mortality, means embracing a life of immortality in heaven.

TALKING ECONOMICS
ON SHAKY GROUND
The need for deregulation
The lava in the moon
The Reserve Bank of New Zealand speech on January 30 didn’t shine much light on what the bank might do with the Official Cash Rate on February 28. So economists and bankers are still speculating. They don’t all have the same view – but when did economists ever manage to agree? Westpac Bank seem to be confident that the Reserve Bank will leave the cash rate where it is and that the next move in the rate will be down. They have recently reduced some of their mortgage and deposit interest rates. The ANZ bank economist on the other hand thinks there is a possibility that the most recent unemployment data might lead the Reserve Bank to be concerned that the economy is stronger than they expected and another rise in the OCR on February 28 may be necessary to bring inflation back to their target range. I will be very surprised if the Reserve Bank does raise the cash rate. The unemployment figure did rise so the economy is moving in the direction the bank expects and wants. It didn’t rise by quite as much as they had predicted. But to make a cash rate move based just on that would be micro-management. The Reserve Bank needs to look at a whole host of information, both from here and overseas. The overseas news on inflation is still predominantly positive. For example, the latest inflation data from China was actually negative (-0.8 per cent). They now have slight disinflation. What happens to prices in China will have a global impact because of their sheer size and their major role in global trade.
Did you know that the “man on the moon” is actually made of enormous lava flows? I’m talking about the darker patches on the moon that aren’t as bright as the rest of the surface when light from the sun reflects down to us on Earth. Those darker patches are largely basalt lava flows, similar enough in composition to the lavas in the Auckland Volcanic Field, or those we see at Hawaii. About 26 per cent of the nearside of the moon’s surface is basalt, and only about 2% of the far side. Interestingly, Mars also has a lot of basaltic rocks across its surface, and basalt is the most common volcanic rock on Earth. How do we know what they are? Firstly, despite conspiracy theories, after astronauts landed on the moon, they brought back samples of the surface and scientists from many different universities and institutions have since done a lot of work to understand them. We can also use satellite data, utilising physics and chemistry concepts we can map the surface from here. Additionally, lunar meteorites fall down to Earth and scientists analyse them too. Planetary scientists compare all of this to rocks and volcanic processes on Earth. So, we actually have a lot of information about the lunar surface, and theories have been developed about the entire history of the moon and what happens deep below the ground. Working at the Smithsonian Institution I got to see some of these rocks, as well at meteorites from Mars. It’s surreal holding parts of other worlds. Long, long ago lunar lava flows moved across the surface and flooded low-lying parts. These large basalt fields are called

But as I said in my last column, it is domesticallydriven inflation rather than imported inflation that is driving our consumer price index. That will require some sort of policy response. But I do not think another increase in the cash rate is the right response as many of our domestic inflation pressures are not market-driven. They are the result of excessive and poorlydesigned regulations. We see examples of these costs every day. They are massive. For example, a pedestriancrossing in Auckland that cost almost $500,000 got lots of publicity recently. What got very little publicity was that costs related to traffic management and health and safety were one-third of the total costs. This is not an isolated case. There have been lots of letters to the Cambridge News recently about the proliferation of road cones around our town. They annoy people for all sorts of reasons. They annoy me because I look at road cones as a cost. And when I see more road cones being used than are necessary, it Is a wasted cost that adds to our price level and contributes nothing. Regulatory costs are not impacted by interest rates so the raising of the official cash rate by the Reserve Bank will have absolutely no impact on them. The appropriate policy response to domestic inflation here is to hasten the review of regulations and their costs that the new Government has promised. To make it a serious and tough review it need to take actions not just write reports.

maria (pronounced Mah-ree-a, Latin for ‘seas’), or the singular mare (“Mar-ay”) and they are old. The age of areas on the surface of the moon are calculated after counting impact craters, younger surfaces have less craters, and by analysing samples of the rocks. The mare basalts are old. They mostly crystallized or cooled around three to four billion years ago, with some minor activity recently - until around one billion years ago. There has also been more recent evidence of volcanic activity occurring on the scale of millions of years. We don’t have as many rocks that age on the surface of Earth because our planet is so active. Active plate tectonics and volcanism mean our crust gets recycled and covered with new rock, covering the older areas. I personally prefer working on much younger volcanism (within our lifetime, ideally still hot), but this is seriously cool stuff. The journey of understanding volcanic rock that formed around 400,000 km away has involved many scientists around the world spanning different specialties, working across decades. The scientific process of studying other moons and planets also helps us to understand our own world by inspiring experts to ask different questions, to see things in a new light. For me, knowing all of this makes looking up at the moon even more special. Seeing the results of these ancient lunar eruptions with our own eyes is incredible. Happy Lunar New Year, wishing you happiness and good health.

Letters… Change is needed
I’d like to respond to the letter complaining about cycle lanes in Cambridge News (January 25 - No longer please). Every week the consequences of the climate crisis are becoming clearer. Year 2023 was the hottest year on record, 2024 is expected to be worse. All over the world extreme weather events are causing more and more damage. Just ask the people in West Auckland and Hawke’s Bay. The major cause of this is our unrelenting burning of fossil fuels, and transport makes up a large portion of this. Every time we hop in our cars we add to the problem. On top of that the increasing number of people in Cambridge, along with expected growth, means that our roads will not cope with everyone driving. We have to do things differently and shift away from such reliance on cars to both public and active transport, for example walking and cycling. These have multiple benefits including better health and cleaner air. The benefits even apply to those who can’t walk or cycle through less congestion when they do need to drive. As a recent first time grandparent I worry deeply about the world we are creating for our children and grandchildren. We’ve ignored the climate crisis for decades and are now at the point where it requires significant change from everyone. We cannot sit back and think that the government will fix things, or that business will fix things. It requires action from each and every one of us. So instead of lambasting the council for putting in better and safer cycling and walking infrastructure, let’s figure out how to get more people using it and generate the behaviour change we so desperately need.I regularly use the Cambridge road cycle
lane and while out riding yesterday was pleasantly surprised at the dozens of people out on their bikes. Steve Schoultz Cambridge
No beauty
I am in agreement with the letter titled ‘No longer please’, (The News January 25). The Cambridge I came to in 1956 was beautiful. Now it is being ruined by road closures, batons and ugly painted wooden tubs - all for enabling access to cyclists. Last Thursday I went on a trip to Hamilton and onward to Raglan and did not see one cyclist enroute. On return, near Hamilton Airport, there was a lone cyclist and then in Lamb Street, Leamington, a group of three cyclists. I have never seen a cyclist on the designated track alongside Hamilton Road. Side road closures have made Hamilton Road traffic dense. Yet Cambridge is being reconstructed for cyclists. Two lane traffic is essential in Duke Street and Wilson Street for good flow to and from the high level bridge, Primary School, and businesses. Our town will not be designated as worthy of Beautiful Town with the changes being made. Marie Wilson Cambridge East
Make them pay
I wholeheartly agree with Lisa Cropp (No longer please) - she is so right. Why is so much money wasted on cyclists when they pay nothing towards using the roads? They should have to pay a road user fee like motorists. I, like others, see more cyclists on the footpaths or road, not on the cycle lanes provided. The councils are very good at wasting rate
payers’ money like resealing roads that are perfectly okay, with no potholes, instead of repairing ones with heaps of holes. It’s easy to sit behind a desk and push a pen (or computer button). Get out and inspect. Pam Bennett Cambridge
A driving puzzle
Lisa Cropp beat me to it - I’ve been meaning to write and ask if someone could explain to me how I’m meant to drive out of Cambridge from the West Thompson Street area of Leamington. I’m retired and find that I need to go to Hamilton often for activities and essential shopping. At present I have to drive through the main street and five roundabouts and six pedestrian crossings and that’s not time and fuel efficient. I would also love to know how much is being spent on the Bryce Street alterations that have stopped me using that as an access. That would include the amount already spent on works there the previous year. We could probably have built half a bridge with that money. I’m very happy to use public transport, but I need a more frequent service including something in the evenings. I believe Cambridge has a lot of retired people who need buses, not cycles, to get around. Anne Leighton Cambridge
It’s all crazy
As one of the many people who call Cambridge my town, I am appalled at the proliferation of crazy road works designed it seems to create congestion. Cambridge has few arterial roads and all I can see is an increasingly strangled network. Cambridge got some breathing space when the expressway went through but now we see
more heavy cross town traffic and increased commuter flows from denser housing and massive new subdivisions. I am not anti-cycling, I cycle recreationally, mostly on weekends, yet I see few cycles (other than those athlete cyclists who seem unable to use cycle lanes) at times other than fine weekends. Yes, give us better cycleways, these can largely be accommodated on the ample berms in town, but don’t pretend that Cambridge’s rapidly increasing commuter and heavy transport traffic is going to be served by a gold plated cycleways that rob from overall network. John Nicholson Tamahere
Wide ranging museum
Every time the new museum is mentioned it is referred to as a “Land Wars Museum.” Once again in The Te Awamutu News (January 25) under the photo of the closed museum the caption read “there are plans to build a land wars museum.” This label concerns me. The museum in what was Bunnings is to replace the condemned building. That museum was too small to display many of the artifacts that were stored downstairs. The district’s history is not just about the land wars. It goes back much further, to early Māori settlements, the lifestyles of the Māori people, their own tribal battles, the pa villages along and near the Waipā, Mangapiko and Puniu rivers. The coming of the traders, the missionaries and with them the development of the Māori as successful traders, sending produce from their gardens and flour mills to Auckland and overseas. Then come the land wars, important history, that had a bearing on what was to come, but just a few years of time. Continued next page

Continued from previous page
Are the archives still kept in the temperature controlled fire-proof room downstairs? It was almost full when I was last there about 15 years ago. Is an archive room planned in the new museum? There are not many such safe storage places in the country. Why would the cost be so high when the basic building is already there? Is time running out for government funding from the Ministry of Culture and Heritage? (Abridged) Ngaire M. Phillips Te Awamutu Waipā District Council responds: We agree the district’s history is broader than the NZ Land Wars and these events are also being factored in. The wider community can also be assured the treasures currently held by the Te Awamutu Museum continue to be well looked after. As advised in September last year, work continues to be undertaken on the proposal to build Te Ara Wai, noting all of this work is currently funded through Better Off Funding received from the government and not by Waipā ratepayers. Council has already signalled the government decision just before Christmas to put Three Waters back into council budgets has fundamentally changed the financial landscape, with the impact on Long-Term Plan budgets still being worked through. Council has until June 2024 to apply for government funding from the Ministry of Culture and Heritage. Letters

Ōhaupō university student Pieta Bouma – who became a paraplegic in 2019 - was guest speaker at Sacred Heart Girls’ College in Hamilton last week. Pieta, then aged 19, was on a gap year and volunteering as an English teacher while doing environmental work in Ecuador when she fell off a rope swing onto a concrete path, broke her back and punctured a lung. Her parents David Bouma and Monique Reymer, along with other family members, were visiting her in Ecuador when the accident happened. She is now studying a conjoint
degree in global studies and health sciences at the University of Auckland majoring in population health. Pieta – who describes herself as an activist, writer and passionate about social justice - is an old girl of Sacred Heart and was speaking at the all-girls Catholic school as part of its whanaungatanga programme. She still participates in several sports, including waka ama and two years ago climbed Mount Kakepuku which featured in the Bulletproof Attitude Live video series.

Eight Ball: it’s talk, not chalk By Viv Posselt
Members of the Eight Ball Group are used to being quizzed on the origins of their name. The reason has more to do with physiology than pool, it seems, because the four men who started it in Cape Town in the early 1980s decided ‘Eight Ball’ was a fitting tribute to their gender. Unsurprisingly, the name has been the butt of more blushes than a Billy Connolly skit. Their roots, however, have a more serious backstory. They formed the original Eight Ball Group as a friends-based gathering for ex-Rhodesian (pre-Zimbabwe days) and South African service personnel. Numbers grew fast to include a swathe of professions, including medical doctors, university professors, school principals, engineers, tradesmen, sales and advertising moguls and more. The person who brought it here in 2011 was among them, Cambridge-based Winston Hart. He is a former superintendent in the then Rhodesian police force, the BSAP (British South Africa Police) – and much more besides – who introduced an Eight Ball chapter under the wing of the RSA. Initial members included a former air force pilot, a policeman and two soldiers. Today there are some 30 local Eight Ballers, with around half that number meeting at the Te Awamutu RSA, a locale they consider their spiritual home. Straddling both RSAs and reaching further afield, the ethos is the same – the honouring of fallen comrades, shared experience, mateship, and the spinning of yarns. One of those who started the Te Awamutu chapter is local man John Graham, a ramrodstraight former Rhodesian often seen laying

a wreath for his fellow ex-combatants at local Anzac and Armistice commemoration. He and Winston Hart share time as former Rhodesian servicemen. Demonstrating the sort of humour enjoyed by those whose feet are embedded in African soil, he declares the Eight Ball Group to be “open to all redblooded, meat-eating, drinking, sports lovers and lovers in general, both married and single males”. The boys meet monthly, with their significant others joining them once a year. It was at that annual January bunfight that Winston told his tale. He was born in Durban but had family ties to Rhodesia. Armed with a love of horses, a thirst for adventure and rugby chops his South African high school didn’t want to lose,
he set off to join the BSAP in Rhodesia in 1958. “I heard they rode horses … I was really keen, but because the BSAP don’t take you until you’re 18, I started as a cadet at age 17.” He went on to become a police remount rider and a member of the equitation staff, then joined CID in 1963, segwaying into plain-clothes Special Branch operations as tensions in the country began to rise. He started a pseudo-operation, basing its structure around a book he read as a teen, The Hunt for Kimathi, one that tells the story of the capture of Dedan Kimathi, one of the leaders of the Mau Mau uprising in 1950s Kenya. Winston’s early success attracted the attention of Ron Reid-Daly. The latter had extensive military experience – some of it in
counter-insurgency operations in Malaya. Impressed by Winston’s ability to gather military intelligence on planned insurgencies, Ron went on to form and lead the Selous Scouts, an elite special forces unit of the Rhodesian army, with Winston as one of the founding members. Another was Jeremy Strong, a man who returned the Sword of Honour he had earned at Sandhurst in the UK so as to return to Rhodesia and fight for his homeland. Winston’s stories are plentiful. He lost many mates and had numerous narrow escapes of his own. When Rhodesia became Zimbabwe in 1980, he and many former combatants left the country; he went to South Africa where he rose to the ranks of colonel in the South African Army. Through it all he married, twice, and raised a family. He remembers the Queen Mother stopping and talking to his horse when on parade in Salisbury, now Harare. A lengthy sailing trip sliced almost a year out of his home life, after which he settled into running his own security business. When he came to New Zealand, it was in Cambridge that he and his wife Felicity settled. Aside from his military prowess and security nous, Winston worked on props for films. “An old Italian from Rome taught me a lot of that stuff,” he smiled. He also paints and sculpts. He honed the latter skills at the University of Pretoria Arts Faculty where he was chosen to work on a large mural hung in Delville Wood Museum in France as a tribute to the South African forces. He also did some fine work on a series of bronze plaques adorning a stone BSAP memorial standing at the National Memorial Arboretum in the UK. • More pictures – go to teawamutunews.nz

The carnival is over… By Mary Anne Gill
And just like that, the 125th birthday party is over. The ‘Summer of Celebration’ for Cambridge Bowling Club started in November last year with afternoon tea for dignitaries and life members and ended on Sunday with a picnic in the park. What better way to finish it off that by playing the annual derby with Central Cambridge Bowling Club on the newly-laid artificial green while listening to music from the band rotunda? But the differences between 1916 - immortalised in a postcard on display in the club house - and 2024 were stark. No suits, ties, long dresses and stockings. The vegetation overlooking Lake Te Koo Utu is far lusher and the octagonal rotunda, built in 1907, seven years before the existing bowling pavilion, rarely hosts concerts today. Singer/guitarist Jacob Nelson and blues-influenced The Slims put paid to that performing some rousing music while the bowlers played end after end in pursuit of local dominance. It came down to a countback of ends won. Both Cambridge and neighbours Central had 16 wins each from the 32 games played – but Central won more ends so took home the trophy. • More photos cambridgenews.nz
The Slims take a break from the music in the Band Rotunda, from left, Jono Knapp, Ken Emery, Mark Taylor and Paul Taranaki during Cambridge Bowling Club’s final 125th celebrations.
Those were the days – the rotunda is the same, but the attire was slightly different at the club in 1916.

An eye for the horses Size doesn’t matter By Roy Pilott
Nathan Pearson isn’t your average teenage horse-enthusiast. His passion for horses began when he saddled up, aged four, for his lessons at Greenhithe Riding for the Disabled in Auckland. “I’d never seen him sit and stand so straight. Horse riding was like his weekly physiotherapy,” mum Natalie Pearson says. Fifteen years on and with the aid of a new funding initiative, he is an aspiring photographer, while staying true to his love for horses. And this weekend he’ll be photographing riders at the Takapoto Classic at Maungatautari. “Equestrian is my social life and now it has the potential to become my business, I’m really excited,” he says. Nathan’ was born prematurely and faced early challenges when he experienced hypoxia, resulting in cerebral palsy, making him a regular wheelchair user. His interest in photography was sparked by a family photo session. Now he is combining his two passions.
When the family heard about Manawanui’s Fund For Good initiative, Natalie secretly entered him. Out of hundreds of applicants this year, nine received funding – and Nathan was granted $7000. “I was looking for a custom-built tripod that can be mounted to my wheelchair so I can comfortably use my camera for long periods at events,” he says. The funding will also cover some courses with tutors from Canon. Manawanui is an individualised funding provider and started the Fund For Good initiative in 2018. Manawanui’s chief executive Marsha Marshall says Manawanui started the funding initiative after realising that money that was being budgeted for various events and sponsorships in the disability sector could have a greater impact by giving it directly to customers. “Some of the brilliant things people use the money for is to start micro-enterprises or seed funding for small
businesses, getting qualifications, or accessing specialised equipment that is not funded elsewhere.” She believes the impact of Fund For Good is more profound than any general event or sponsorship could achieve. Nathan coaches non-riders at Wainoni Pony Club where he has a particular interest in dressage and show jumping. “It’s not often you see someone in a wheelchair at equestrian events and so many people always ask to see the photos I take so I’d love to be able to offer
quality images to horse riders, clubs, and event organisers,” he says. He has big plans for his equestrian photography business, with Horse of the Year next in his sights. “I’ve just finished high school and so everything truly has fallen into place.”
Nathan Pearson will be behind the camera at Takapoto Estate.
Yvonne Steel called The News office on Monday because she was excited at the success of her work in the vege patch. Her beefsteak tomatoes were huge – and the behemoth pumpkin seeds from Mitre 10 had done their bit and produced a good sized vegetable, albeit cut short when it fell off the vine. More are to come. Now any journalist will tell you that it’s folly to run a summer story about vegetables. It encourages all sorts of people to feel obliged to announce they have something bigger. But this isn’t about size, it’s about envy. Because Yvonne has a little dog called Athena, who doesn’t rip out vegetables by the roots. We have a one year old chocolate lab called Bailey whose myriad offences, usually committed when she gets to sneak into the kitchen after we’ve done some baking, extended to, on Monday, jumping into a
vegetable bed and ripping out our burgeoning cucumber plant. In her defence, it’s been suggested Bailey was innocently helping herself to the cucumbers (which were nowhere to be seen) – having seen me pick them. But in King St Cambridge Yvonne has no such issues. Her third season of plantings all over the section has produced a bounty of cabbages, corn, edible pumpkins, silver beet, capsicums and tomatoes. There might have been cucumbers, but I didn’t want to look. But even though Yvonne saw great humour in my loss, I’m pleased for her – she has lived in Cambridge for 30 years, she was a familiar face back in the early 2000s at New World and she has cared for the elderly and is also one of the delivery people for your Cambridge News. There will be no shortage of fresh vegetables – and strawberries – for the remainder of summer from Yvonne’s garden. I hope Bailey doesn’t like tomatoes.
