Meet our Dennis…

FEBRUARY 7, 2020

Viv Posselt catches up with an 88-year-old who she thinks could be a “strolling Santa”. By Viv Posselt

Dennis Lloyd is a true Cambridge gem. In many ways, he is the person everybody knows, but no-one knows. He is the dapper gentleman with the ramrod-straight back, usually seen walking through town with his walking frame and frequently spotted gifting soft toys to children he meets along the way. His generosity was recently highlighted in a couple of postings on the Cambridge Grapevine Facebook page. One was from Talita Kruger, who uploaded a photograph of Dennis gifting a soft toy to her three-year-old daughter, Eloise. Was she surprised at the gesture? “Yes, very surprised. Eloise carried the two teddies around with her all day … she adores them. He’s such a kind man, an absolute treasure,” she said. “We moved here from Auckland four years ago and have been amazed by the kindness of this community. We feel very lucky to live here.” The slew of responses to Talita’s image – and to another online posting – show how deeply appreciated Dennis is. Comments allude to his ‘snazzy’ dressing, his kind and unselfish heart; they describe him as a ‘champion and beautiful gentleman’, a Cambridge icon who restores faith in humanity. “Now this is what I call magic,” said another. Dennis, who turns 89 in a few months’ time, was unaware of the fuss, primarily because he doesn’t really ‘do’ Facebook. He prefers face-to-face communication and besides, he is more accustomed to online chats with a ‘higher power’. It was a friend who showed him to the posts. Time spent with Dennis reveals so much more than just his soft heart and teddy bears. It turns out he was one of five children born to a family in the Welsh valleys, where coalmining and frugal living were the norm. Desperate to get out, he spent time in the Royal Air Force and then the Merchant Navy, travelling widely. He taught himself to become a ventriloquist and put himself through theology college, becoming a Baptist pastor who authored 26 books on theology and ended up with an honorary doctorate in theology, bestowed Continued on page 2

Govt overlooks region’s roads Only a National government will deliver much-needed roading upgrades to the Taupo electorate, overlooked by the current government’s infrastructure plans, Taupo MP Louise Upston writes. An area of the country this size that connects to so many centres deserves better, as do motorists who are paying all the extra petrol taxes this government keeps piling on. If the government really cared about the prosperity of our region, it would not have put the previous National government’s big roading projects on ice two years ago. A roundabout is needed at the intersection of SH1 and SH29, but the government should also be extending the Waikato expressway from Cambridge to the foot of the Kaimai Range, and from Cambridge to Tirau, rather than just tinkering with our existing highways. Our local community has been very vocal in our concerns about the cancellation of Cambridge to Piarere which was funded and underway. The huge turnout at the community meeting in December with Chris Bishop, National’s Transport spokesperson, was a clear message of the community’s frustration. Yet another fatality this past weekend has heightened the call. We want action. I will be extending my petition for Cambridge to Piarere so the government is clear they need to fund this road. National has more respect for our regions and will give Kiwis the infrastructure they want if elected in 2020, rather than making them fight tooth and nail for it. National will release a comprehensive infrastructure plan later this year, setting out our vision to get this country moving. Unlike Labour, National is the party of infrastructure and we will deliver. Louise Upston Cambridge

So, it’s Dr Dennis Lloyd to us lay folk … all of which goes halfway to explaining his soft heart and concern for people in the community. “I have always loved children,” he said, “that’s why I took up ventriloquism.” Can he still do it? “Oh yes, but I’m much better when singing than when just speaking!” Dennis came to New Zealand around 69 years ago; the musical lilt of the Welsh valleys defines his voice.

The new school term has started, and with it we have an increase in all types of traffic around town. That means it’s time for some wheel-y important information. I have been approached by a number of people, concerned about the speed of bicycles, scooters and mobility scooters on the footpaths, especially in the central business district. Students are regularly riding down the Victoria Street footpaths weaving in and out of pedestrians. Worryingly, we have also had a number of recent crashes where speedy mobility scooter users have hit pedestrians. In one case, a pedestrian was knocked off their feet about a metre when hit, and suffered severe bruising on their arm. They were understandably shocked and shaken. I thought it was a good time to clarify what and where you can and can’t ride, and your responsibilities around that, so we can keep our footpaths safe for all. Bicycles - The law states that bicycles must be ridden on the road, not the footpath (unless using a designated shared path). In town you have the option of using cycle lanes or diverting onto quieter back streets. If you are on the footpath, you must walk with your bicycle (and in any case don’t forget to wear your helmet!). (Push) Scooters - These are

permitted to be ridden on the footpath. Mobility Scooters – These are also permitted on the footpath and in fact, must not be ridden on the road where a footpath exists. For scooters and mobility scooters, riding on the footpath comes with some responsibility. Under the Land Transport Act 1998 rule 2004, all riders/drivers of ‘wheeled recreational devices’ (including scooters, e-scooters, mobility scooters, skateboards and rollerblades) must operate the device in a careful and considerate manner and must not operate the device at a speed that constitutes a hazard to other footpath users. Careful and considerate are the key words there. You are legally required to ride at a speed such that it is safe for all other footpath users – usually, this will mean slowly. If you are caught not adhering to this rule, you may be liable for a fine of $100 or a written traffic warning. In the centre of town and Leamington pedestrian movements are less predictable as they are regularly stepping in and out of shops onto the footpath. Let’s work together, be considerate and ensure everyone can enjoy walking around town.

Karapiro work starts

Preparation work to replace the main units at the Karapiro dam has started. Mercury Energy announced the $75 million project 12 months ago, when the company’s executive general manager, hydro and wholesale, Phil Gibson, likened the planned upgrade to “like moving from a record player to Netflix”. Karapiro, one of nine hydro dams on the Waikato River, was built in 1947 – only Atiamuri (1929) is older – and its generators and turbines will be replaced by Austrian-based firm Andritz. On-site works for the replacement of the main units is at least a year away. On Tuesday the diversion tunnel gate was lifted into its slot using a large crane after a six month “outage” for planned maintenance activities. The diversion tunnel was used to pull the river sideways while the dam was constructed, and it remains as a safety feature should the hydro station need to stop taking water, to ensure continuity of the river flow. The heavy tunnel gate blocks this access until it is needed. The project will increase overall peak station capacity by 17 per cent or 16.5MW, to 112.5MW - enough to power approximately 19,000 homes - and average energy production by 32GWh to 537GWh a year. Mercury has already completed upgrades at Ohakuri and Arapuni and plans to have upgrades similar to Karapiro finished at Whakamaru and Aratiatia in the mid-2020s. Hydro Generation Manager Andrew Peckham said enabling works on site have started. Some activities will trigger limited road closures and crane use on top of the dam, including diving activities later in the year. “Anything that might impact local

road users will be communicated to local stakeholders including Waipa District Council, Emergency Services, iwi, schools, local sports clubs,” he said. The Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority EECA says

hydro electricity generation will continue to provide the backbone of New Zealand’s electricity system and there is significant scope for further development - though large projects are unlikely. More than half the country’s electricity is hydro-generated.

The diversion tunnel gate was lifted into its slot this week.

Waipā aims to kick the habit

Waipā residents appear to strongly favour a move to making some public areas in the district smokefree. An informal opinion poll on Facebook led by the council attracted a strong turnout – the numbers who responded equated to 10 per cent of the district population – and the majority backed the suggestion. Mayor Jim Mylchreest promoted the call after the Council was approached by the Waikato District Health Board and the Waikato/Bay of Plenty Division of Cancer Society of New Zealand who asked for a smoke free policy to be developed. The Government has set a goal of making New Zealand smoke-free by 2025. The mayor believes he has the numbers to declare the district’s public places smoke-free within the next couple of months. This week both the Cambridge and Te Awamutu Community Board leaders said they liked the idea. In Te Awamutu Ange Holt said she would support the banning of smoking by posting signs in some public places “if that is what the majority of the Waipa community would like”. “From initial feedback based on the facebook poll run by Waipā District Council it looks like there is a clear indication,” she said. “As a non-smoker and never have been, I do not enjoy other people’s smoke blowing across me especially if I am eating, so it certainly would make being in a public space more enjoyable.” Cambridge Community Board chair Sue Milner, also a non-smoker, also liked the idea of a smoke free Waipā. “I find smoking and vaping offensive, and a health hazard, why should non-smokers and non-vapers have their health put at risk? I do not enjoy the smells and the used butts that are often dropped on the ground,” she said. The council has still to determine what areas would be deemed “public” and covered under any new bylaw. Its Facebook poll saw respondents consistently raise three questions - what’s classified a public place, how will it be enforced and is vaping included? Many respondents wrongly assumed the council had already committed to making the change - the issue is expected to be debated when the council meets this month. Strategy manager Kirsty Downey said the council recognised it was important to get public opinion before developing a smoke free policy.

Power company warns of water dangers

The company which manages the region’s nine hydro plants is warning Cambridge residents to be wary of the potential dangers of the Waikato River and Karapiro Lake, after an increase in risky behaviour at the popular summer hotspots. “The hot Waikato summer has made the cool waters of the river look inviting, but the risks are there year-round,” said Mercury’s Hydro Generation Manager Andrew Peckham. He said Mercury teams at both the Karapiro and Arapuni stations had noticed an increase in risky behaviour. “People looking to cool off in the river have been launching kayaks

within the 200m safety exclusion zone (200m above and below the Karapiro dam). “We’ve even spotted people trying to ‘launch’ an inflatable paddling pool into the river below Karapiro dam.” Even if people do decide to float down the river, Peckham said the main message from the company was they should stay out of the 200m exclusion zones around the hydro stations. “They’re clearly marked,” he said. “And no matter what you float on, always wear a life jacket.” He reminded river users that flow rates and currents could change without warning, and to be aware

of other river users, such as jet boats drivers who might not see people in unexpected, risky places. “We’re not the fun police or the water safety experts but we know the river and its unpredictable flows and levels – some of this is due to it being a working hydropower system that supplies around 10% of New Zealand’s electricity. “The river and lakes are deep, the flow can be deceptive, and there are hidden dangers, such as rocks beneath the surface. Areas aren’t patrolled like beaches so you can’t assume help is near if you get into trouble.”

Lake and river users in Cambridge are being urged to think responsibly when making a splash this summer.

Another road is being planned to connect the C3 development to Cambridge Road, near the Te Awa Lifecare turn off. Walker said the start-date of the Vogel Place road extension would depend on the rate of development inside the 143-hectare C3 growth cell. “The Vogel Place extension project is still awaiting developer intentions,” he said. The road would “give improved access to the land on the lower terrace primarily for the next stages of development for Chartwell and Te Awa.” “At present, we are progressing the design for a new intersection which will provide access between Te Awa and the C3 and C2 growth cells. We expect to have gone through the open tender process and be

ready to start construction towards the end of this year.” The C2 growth cell covers 161.6-hectares along Cambridge Rd and about one kilometre down Vogel St and Peake Rd. The cell includes plans for a café, sports centre, cultural centre and possibly a school, pending confirmation from the Ministry of Education. Their construction is largely market-driven and will go ahead when businesses have indicated their intention to move in. Development inside the C1 growth cell is already underway with the gigantic APL factory being built in Cambridge North, near the Waikato Expressway. The 56.7 hectare C1 area includes 35 hectares for the APL factory and its central hub, with another 21.7 hectares earmarked for a supermarket, café, community facilities and other retail services.

Op shop dumpers, looters strike again By Sophie Iremonger

Clearing out rubbish and unsellable items from shop fronts is becoming an increasing problem for op shops. Hospice Waikato Regional Retail Manager Teresa Bidlake estimated about 60 to 70 percent of items donated outside of hours are unsellable, and sometimes they are literally bags of household rubbish. “And then we have to dump it,” Bidlake explained. “Every Monday morning we have to have a truck from Hamilton come and collect it.” Cambridge has been the worst of all eight Waikato Hospice shops as of late, with frequency increasing over the summer break. “We’ve got lovely volunteers, but I don’t expect volunteers to then have to

deal with people’s rubbish.” Whilst footing the landfill bill, the organisation does its best to avoid it. “We do try and recycle as much of it as we possibly can,” said Bidlake. Refuse costs weren’t the only problem with anonymous drop-offs. “A lot of the (sellable) donated goods that come out-of-hours don’t get to us because it gets pillaged and pilfered, which is a shame because I’m sure the people donating are wanting to help us care for the people dying in our community. That’s what Hospice is about, and unfortunately people are helping themselves.” The Cambridge Hospice Shop now has CCTV cameras operating outside the store. The organisation provides a regionwide free trucking service to pick

up donated items, which operates Monday to Saturday, leaving no room for excuses. “If people can’t come to us or don’t have time, instead donating out of hours or on the weekend, we’re more than happy to go and pick up. “We’re trying as best we can to stop those donations going into other people’s hands.” She added that the best way to determine whether a pre-owned item is sellable in an op shop is to remember, “If you won’t eat off it, wear it yourself, sleep on it, use it or give it to a friend, we can’t really sell it either. “We would really like to thank the people that are donating. If they could please just donate during shop hours, it would be so helpful to us.”

Hospice Waikato Regional Retail Manager Teresa Bidlake says shop volunteers shouldn’t have to deal with rubbish left outside overnight. Pictured are some of the Cambridge shop volunteers, from left, Susan Mayes, Carly Rolley, Ann Hugill and store manager Justine Webb-Elliott.

The company says the site would contain standard 4G technology for increasing service capacity in the area.

Jane Shaw said she was continuing to work with groups in other districts who had similar concerns about cell towers. She would also continue to work with National MP Barbara Kuriger and the Labour led Government to seek a review of the Rescouce Management Act, which Pirongia residents believe is too hands-off when it comes to where the towers may be erected.

Parched farms up north, floods down south The Waikato has started 2020 with dryer conditions than last year, with rainfall levels down as much as 400 millimetres – while in the South Island communities were being evacuated this week as a result of flooding. Federated Farmers Waikato president Andrew McGiven said most farmers were coping well, having set aside supplementary feed to keep stock fed during the dry spell. “We had a really good winter and spring so most have got plenty of supplement set aside which is getting fed out now. “The long range weather forecast is talking about some pattern changes happening mid to late February so that’s what we’re crossing our fingers for. “I’m sure Southland wouldn’t mind trading a bit of sunshine for rain at the moment,” McGiven said. It was too soon to tell, he said, whether the

summer of 2019/2020 could be like the summer of 2008/2009, when serious drought conditions hit the Waikato. “That was more during March… If the dry conditions drag through to the middle or end of March, then people are really going to struggle. But if it breaks early things hopefully should be alright. It’s a bit of a waiting game at the moment.” Last summer saw an earlier dry season before Christmas followed by a wet start to 2019. “So that’s what we’ve just got to hope for really.” WeatherWatch.co.nz reported this week that for the first time in its 15 years of operation it had forecast then verified temperature of 40 degrees celsius in the North Island. It said historically 40-plus temperatures were recorded in the eastern South Island, but a heatwave from Australia pushed hot air over the North Island on Tuesday and Te Karaka, inland Waipā cows are dining in on supplementary feed. from Gisborne, reached 40C at 4pm.

Webber queries cost The new Waikato Regional Transport Committee will convene on Monday for the first time since being formed from the 2019 local government elections. There will be quite a few fresh faces, and a bit of time spent bringing them ‘into the loop’, Waipa delegate Grahame Webber said. “There’s been a real change in membership with new appointments, so we’ll be dealing with a lot of new people and we’ll need to bring them up to speed with what’s happening.” Last week’s announcement of a $58m roundabout in Piarere has prompted one big question for Webber at Monday’s meeting – how can a roundabout possibly cost $58 million? “I thought it was a mistake when I first read it,” said Webber, who has been battling for the introduction of a roundabout at Karapiro Rd /

SH1 for 15 years. “I would have thought they could do it for $4M and then do another one at Karapiro Rd,” he said. “So, it’s disappointing what’s come out with the capital spending, but we’ll just have to work our way through it.” The amount of time it takes to reduce speeds on roads is another issue on the agenda for Webber heading into Monday’s meeting. He want to see the legislation process sped up. Other items on the cards for the first 2020 meeting include a review of the regional road safety report, an update on regional roading projects and plans, a presentation from NZTA Acting Director Regional Relationships Ross Ross l’Anson, and an overview of the committee’s submissions to Land Transport bills.

Safety improvements coming for Karapiro intersection By Sophie Iremonger

A Karapiro intersection synonymous with deadly crashes and close calls is set to get an upgrade. Though it’s yet to be formally announced by the NZTA, it appears the intersection of State Highway 1 and Karapiro Rd will have electronic signage installed, reducing the SH1 speed limit to 60kmph when Karapiro Rd traffic is approaching the intersection. Waipa councillor and former Cambridge community boardman Philip Coles, one of the main drivers behind the effort to improve road safety in Karapiro, said the project looked as though it was going ahead based

on recent correspondence with NZTA staff. Coles has spent several months meeting and speaking with NZTA officials to improve safety at the intersection. “It will increase the chances of survival if there’s a crash. Because on the whole we do have some decent roads, we’ve just got some idiots that drive on them too.” The organisation, Coles said, has agreed to install the electronic signage, which could be installed over the next couple of months. Further discussions are also in the works to introduce “high-risk intersection” signage and other speed reduction measures like red road markings. It’s a step in the right direction, said Karapiro

News of safety improvements at the Karapiro Rd intersection comes as welcome news for the Karapiro School community, says principal Tina-Maree Thatcher, pictured here with Jessie Lee Marriott Atkinson, Leo Harvey, Savjah Sunnex and Francesca Odgers.

School principal Tina-Maree Thatcher. “Finally something is starting to change,” she said. “We’ve got a lot of things happening around here – there’s people from out of town, tourists heading to Hobbiton, quarry trucks, school traffic, events at the lake. And we need to let people know that this is a dangerous intersection, it’s a fast and dangerous road. “We’ve always needed a long-term solution, whether it be a roundabout or the (cancelled) expressway extension project, and we still need that, but we also need something today, we need to slow things down. So this is great news for us.” The “perfect fix” of extending the Waikato Expressway would probably only come with a new government, and would be years down the line, Coles said. So the plan was to continue working with NZTA to improve intersections, speeds and road quality throughout the SH1 strip from Cambridge to Piarere. “We’re just going to keep at it and keep at it until we’ve got it done. “We’re one hundred percent behind Louise Upston’s petition (to reinstate the Waikato Expressway extension project), but that’s going to take some time to come to fruition, so in the mean time we’ve got to look at safety provisions on that stretch of road.” MP Louise Upston, whose public petition to support the extension of the Waikato Expressway continues to the end of this month, said last week’s announcement of a roundabout for the SH1 and SH29 intersection was “positive”, “but doesn’t address the concerns of our community and I’ll continue to fight for the new road that Labour cancelled.”

FRIDAY FEBRUARY 7, 2020

Piarere work welcomed

Waikato MP Tim van de Molen has welcomed last week’s announcement that funds would be made available for a roundabout at Piarere, on the intersection of SH1 and SH29. The announcement was part of the Government’s $12 billion infrastructure announcement, which saw $5.3 billion allocated for roads. “This will be a big safety improvement for motorists. I have been advocating for this since entering Parliament, and thank neighbouring MPs and the community, all of which has doubtlessly helped to force a change in stance on this project,” said van de Molen. National has lamented the Government’s decision to shelve plans to extend the Waikato Expressway to the Piarere intersection. The Waikato MP, while approving of the safety step via a roundabout, maintained extending the expressway to Piarere was crucial project to improving safety along the entire corridor. “Over 20,000 vehicles use this corridor every day, and this is set to increase once the Expressway is completed. Van de Molen met with neighbouring electorate MPs and District Mayors Ash Tanner, Jim Mylchreest, Deputy Mayor Aksel Bech (representing Mayor Allan Sanson), and Deputy Mayor Bill Machen (representing Mayor Jenny Shattock) last November to discuss the issue. Following the meeting, the group sent a joint letter to the Minister for Transport asking the government to prioritise resuming the extension. National says it will roll out a comprehensive infrastructure plan, with a strong focus on roads later this year.

Rocky road for riders Roundabout bypass

By Sophie Iremonger

Riding safely in the cycle lane has become more dangerous, say two Tamahere cyclists. Road resurfacing during expressway works has shortened the asphalt edge of the southbound cycle way to half a metre over the white roadside line, accompanied by a further 0.5m of gravelly surface. After an inspection with NZTA, project staff at Fulton Hogan said there was enough room to ride a bike down the sealed shoulder, and they would look into filling the lower surface with metal or millings to prevent water ponding along the edge of the road. “There is a lip between the old road and the new asphalt, however both are at least 0.5m wide which can be used for riding.” It’s not safe enough for Cambridge cyclists Alex Heaney and Sam Cook, who regularly ride in Tamahere. “For some cyclists 0.5 metres can be enough, but then when you’ve got a truck driving past you it’s pretty unnerving, it can get pretty close. I’ve had a few close calls,” said Heaney, who

along with Cook rides for the GD Pringle Spoken Cycles elite racing team. “I don’t think it’s wide enough for a general cyclist.” “I ride there all the time and it’s really not that good,” said Cook. “That’s both ways too. “The opposite side (cycle lane) heading towards Hamilton is real wide then cuts in real short just by the Tamahere turnoff. “It’s not safe. “With the 1.5 metre rule it means trucks probably have to change lanes to get past

Work on stage two of a major project to build Cambridge’s largest roundabout will start in less than two weeks. On Monday, contractors will start work on a temporary road to serve as a bypass for traffic while construction of the roundabout is under way. Waipā District Council transportation manager Bryan Hudson said the temporary road would link Hanlin Road, St Peter’s School and Cambridge Road bypassing where the roundabout would be built. “While we do expect some delays to traffic while work on the roundabout is under way, we’re hoping that this temporary road will help ease congestion and ensure Cambridge Road, Hanlin Road and St Peter’s School remain easily accessible with minimal disruption.” Work on the temporary road is expected to take up to two weeks. Hudson said traffic

management would be in place during this time and drivers needed to be aware of possible delays when accessing Hanlin Road and St Peter’s School. Once complete, contractors will begin stage three of the project - the main construction of the roundabout. “We’re anticipating to start stage three on February 24 and expect it will take around five to six months to complete the roundabout.” The project is being jointly funded by Waipā District Council and Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency with support from St Peter’s School and Home of Cycling Charitable Trust. When finished the intersection will include access to St Peter’s School, the Avantidrome and Cambridge Road, a bus stop next to the Avantidrome, a pedestrian refuge on Cambridge Road and shared paths and cycleways.

you.” Heaney said the gravel side didn’t provide much assurance. “You can’t ride on that because it’s just filled with stones. “I normally avoid it when possible. It’s definitely a risk to cyclists riding through there. And it’s just not very nice to ride on.” The 300m strip of uneven cycle way will eventually become expressway road. The Hamilton section, as well as the entire Waikato Expressway, is due to be completed in 2021.

Fonterra will ditch coal for wood at its Te Awamutu site at the end of the season. The site has used a combination of fuels to process milk - including coal. It’s latest announcement, that from 2020-21 it will power its boiler with wood pellets, follows a trial year. Fonterra’s Sustainable Energy and Utility Manager Linda Thompson says it’s an exciting step for the Cooperative and, in particular, the Te Awamutu team. “It really demonstrates that sustainability, doing what’s right for the long term good, is very much at the heart of how we’re working and thinking about our future.” Last year, Fonterra announced a series of environmental targets relating to its coal use, manufacturing emissions and water efficiency, packaging and farm environment plans. “The move to wood pellets at Te Awamutu will save the Co-operative about 84,000 tonnes of carbon emissions every year, that’s the equivalent of taking around 32,000 cars off the road and will reduce Fonterra’s national coal consumption by approximately 10 per cent. “It’s a positive step forward as we look to reduce emissions and work towards net zero carbon emissions by 2050.” The Te Awamutu site is one of three North Island sites which use coal. “There is no one single solution for us to transition out of coal. We know we can’t do it alone, that’s why working with others like wood pellet supplier Nature’s Flame and the Energy Efficiency and Conservation

Fonterra employees Jonathon Milne and Kevin Liao during the wood pellet trial at Te Awamutu last year.

Authority (EECA) are so important.” Taupo based Nature’s Flame will be supplying the pellets made from sustainable wood fibre residues from the surrounding areas. John Goodwin, Nature’s Flame’s Operations Manager says they’re excited to be partnering with Fonterra. “We’re encouraged about the growth of the bioenergy (wood pellets) industry and we’re proud to be part of something that’s good for the environment and our local communities.” EECA’s Chief Executive Andrew Caseley said the project aligned with EECA’s purpose to help decarbonise the New Zealand economy. “This is the largest boiler conversion project to biofuels to date, and this is why it has received $200,000 in funding from EECA’s technology demonstration programme. It also has the added benefit of establishing a more viable and large-scale wood pellet supply chain.”

THE AGE OF REASON by PETER CARR

Observations from down south

Currently I am perambulating around the South Island. Or to be more accurate taking my campervan on a long-planned seven-week tour investigating why 20 per cent of the nation’s population solidly refuse to believe that anything north of Picton could have a long-term attraction. And along the way - with school holidays over - finding like-minded elderly folk enjoying the empty roads, camping grounds and sharing the tourist facilities with overseas visitors goggling at the sheer beauty of this island paradise. Notably mainland Europeans are to the fore with a marked reduction in those for whom Mandarin is the Mother tongue. Interestingly this European influx results in good behavioural use of the roads and interesting pre-dinner refreshment conversations sitting outside the vehicles

that transport us all. Over in northern Queensland in camping areas a few years ago those conversations were invariably led by a large number of elderly travellers from Victoria who think nothing of pulling caravans 3,000 km to escape the chills of greater Melbourne. This latter group affectionately known as the Grey Nomads. Back here those camp area conversations range from Brexit, the possible imminent departure of the German chancellor to who does - or does not - wish to see the September 19 retention of Shane Jones and his oft-proclaimed Rangatira. Yes, there are good numbers of Kiwi gold card holders on the road too and, in fairness, the North Island representation is notable.

to enjoy the very parched land which must be causing farmers great concern. The major large rivers on both coasts have been observed to be offering large tracts of shingle providing boundaries to the very low levels of mountain-fed water. By the time readers devour this information that may have changed dramatically- proving the observation that the South Island is a large tract of wide contrasts. Except in the printed media. Parochialism abounds from the editors of newspapers which saddens me as there is a high degree of intelligence down here where their perception of the wider world is just as important of those across the Cook Straits. Notwithstanding that we have come across antiNorth Island comments which is frankly disappointing. But offer them a cold drink and all is forgiven. The next Opinion from this

A Waipā farmer and his company were fined a total of $75,000 in one of a series of prosecutions related to historic pollution cases. In three separate cases taken by Waikato Regional Council, four farming entities were convicted and fined a total of $159,674 for unlawfully discharging farm animal effluent into the environment. The Regional Council said the prosecutions related to pollution incidents between August and November 2018 and were sentenced by District Court Judge Melanie Harland in December. One case was as a result of a notification from a member of public and the other two from monitoring by council staff. The convicted parties were Nigel Rowan, of Hamilton, fined $61,837; Christopher Empson, and his company Meadowbank Farm Ltd, of Te Awamutu, fined $14,250 and $60,750 respectively and David Fullerton, of Ngāhinapouri, fined $22,837. “We are urging all farmers to have adequate effluent management infrastructure on their farm that can cope with various weather patterns and the capacity to allow farmers to get on with other on-farm commitments,” said council investigations manager Patrick Lynch. “Unfortunately, these three farms have had significant and avoidable unlawful discharges of effluent into the environment. Good infrastructure and vigilant day to day management can prevent this.”

OBITUARY – GRACE RODGER: 26.4.1932 – 20.1.2020

The many layers of a Cambridge matriach By Viv Posselt

One of New Zealand’s most successful rowing families farewelled a much-loved matriarch last month. Grace Rodger died on January 20, aged 87. Her memorial service at Sir Don Rowlands Centre was especially poignant – Lake Karapiro is a place with which Grace had a deep personal connection through the decades and where she won immense respect for her support of New Zealand’s national rowing effort. Leading the many tributes was one of her five children, former Olympic oarsman David Rodger. He joined others in describing Grace as accomplished, strong, kind and independent, always there to support her family through whatever they chose to do, always there to chide when they didn’t sit up straight or eat everything on their plate. She was impatient with the sexism she faced as a younger woman and David said she made a point of telling her children and grandchildren that ‘girls can do anything’. “Her focus was always the family,” said David. “Her motto for herself was ‘best always’ and this was true when she addressed family. She was fiercely proud of the achievements of all.” Grace offered unabated support to her family during their years of involvement in rowing, yachting, athletics, basketball, waterskiing, cycling and international coaching. She revelled in David becoming the first Cambridge citizen to medal at an Olympics (1976) and at his Sportsman of the Year win at the 1982 Halberg Awards. There were other, quirkier family achievements she treasured – New

Zealand representative rowing teams made up of a brother and sister, and later, a husband and wife. Her support was also practical; Grace spent years assisting the volunteers and rowing administrators and proved masterful in the way she took charge in running the cafeteria for athletes at the 1978 World Rowing Championships at Lake Karapiro. Her efforts won her honorary membership to the Auckland Rowing Association. Outside sporting pursuits, Grace was involved in scouting and the Altrusa Club. She was musical all her life and later developed a talent for china painting, also known as porcelain painting. Her skilled hand won awards, particularly for her paintings of birds, and saw her teaching china painting and take on the presidency of the New Zealand Porcelain Artists’ Association. Cambridge was home for Grace. She was born here, the eldest of four – her two surviving siblings, Vic and Shirley, were at her memorial. After attending Puahue and Te Awamutu Primary schools, then Whanganui Girls’ College, she began her working life with a stock agent in Hamilton before moving into the banking sector. It was there, when she was expected to resign after becoming engaged to Keith Rodger, that she first railed against the discriminatory norms of the day. In her 21st year Grace met Keith, a man she described to her family as the love of her life. They married at Te Awamutu’s St John’s Church in 1955 and farmed at Kaipaki before moving to Cambridge over 50 years ago. Keith Rodger died in 2006. Grace is survived by her five children, eight grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

Waipā District Council has ramped up efforts to get residents and commercial businesses to conserve water. It says a move to alert level four – no outdoor water use of any kind – is on the cards for Te Awamutu, Pirongia and Ohaupo residents if they do not conserve water – and if there is no rain in the next week. Chief executive Garry Dyet said the Council’s water services team is reducing water pressure in Te Awamutu and preventing tankers from filling from the Te Awamutu supply. Water tanker suppliers have been required from this week to fill up at the Cambridge bulk supply on Matos Segedin Drive. “We need 3-4 days of significant, steady rainfall along with everyone’s best conservation efforts,” he said. The last significant rainfall was over six weeks ago in December, and the Mangauika Stream which supplies the town is running extremely low. Council has provided a list of tips via the smartwater. org.nz website to save water at home.

Today we launch a new series penned by Hamilton based author Ceana Priest, who explores walks on our doorstep.

Stepping out into Waipā’s walks The Mangakara Nature Walk winds through ancient forest at Pirongia Forest Park and is an easy stroll for families. Young adventurers will enjoy tearing along the winding boardwalks and poking around in the forest streams. For explorers with little legs, this is an achievable adventure with lots of spots to rest and peer up at the towering trees. The boardwalk passes between stands of trees and there are a handful of bridges which could be the launching pad for a friendly game of Pooh-sticks. Along the way you can’t miss the mysterious huge boulder, although no-one is quite sure where it came from. Was it thrown out of a volcano or perhaps because it is so smooth it may be a river boulder? Take a peek at the sign and have a guess. Three quarters around the loop there is a small seating area leading down to a shallow stream. It’s the perfect summer spot for a bite to eat and a paddle. Bring insect repellent if you are settling in for an hour – there are some active biters here! Keep an eye out for insect larvae hiding in the rocks which are an important source of food for kōkopu, eels and koura/ native freshwater crayfish who live in the slow-moving water. The walk also has a nature trail with interpretative signs so you can add a healthy dose of education to your outing. The signs dotted along the loop match a Department of Conservation factsheet which can be downloaded from their website. How to get there: Turn onto Rosborough Road near Te Pahu, then onto Grey Road. There’s plenty of parking near the shelter at the walk entrance.

MORTGAGE MATTERS

Facilities: Toilets near the car park. Time: Allow one hour for a relaxed stroll of the 1.2-kilometre walk. More if you choose to avidly read all the interpretive signs. Accessibility: The grade is easy and well-suited for smaller kids. It’s not suitable for buggies or wheelchairs because there are a number of stairs and narrow boardwalks. Dogs: Dogs are not allowed on this adventure. Pooh-sticks: This is a game from A.A. Milne’s The House at Pooh Corner which can be played on any bridge over running water. Each player drops a stick on the upstream side of a bridge and the one whose stick first appears on the downstream side is the winner. More about the author: Ceana Priest is a Hamilton

Why use a Mortgage Broker? By Gavin Lynch – Yes Mortgages In the present loan market, most lenders are changing their criteria in regards to what, how much and to whom they lend. This makes it even more important to use a mortgage broker so you know you are getting the right mortgage and right lender to suit your needs. I believe every client has a unique borrowing scenario and time needs to be taken with the client to understand and analyse this, so a correct lending plan and structure can be put in place to achieve goals. In this column, I want to explain briefly the role of the mortgage broker and what I can offer. The key role of the mortgage broker is to make the whole loan process easier for you, the client. This is possible because: I can look at all the lending options. I deal with more than 25 different lenders and work to find the best lender to suit your unique situation. • I can do all the ‘leg work’ with the lenders. • This saves you time and avoids pitfalls in getting a loan approved. • I can negotiate rates, fees, and legal contributions with certain lenders to obtain the best deal for the client. • I can meet at a convenient time and place for the client. • This can be in the home or workplace and after hours if need be. • I can advise on the best loan structure to suit the client’s need. And best of all using a broker is a free service in most cases. Now that has to be worth thinking about! If your looking for a mortgage, please give me a call and I can help you though the whole process. 55 Victoria Street, Cambridge (between BNZ & LJ Hooker)

So far so good for new school system By Matteo Di Maio

Peter Pan on a tandem bike? A blow-up shark? The Incredible Hulk? These and much more could be seen last Friday after the first whole school day at Cambridge High School - dress ups encouraged. The day was “all about the new school system”, head of NCEA operations Joel Baker told students. Built around an activity-packed ‘House Challenge’, the day was designed to introduce students to their new form classes and houses, kicking off the greater ‘sense of belonging’ the new system aims to create. Cambridge High’s new houses – whose names are each attached to stories from the Cambridge community – include Horotiu, Te Koo Utu, Te Koopu Maania, Te Oko Horoi, Parawhau and Pukeroro and form part of several structural changes to the school put into place this year. “So far pretty good I reckon,” said Horotiu house dean Jeremy Wright when asked how he thought the new school system was going, one day in. “So far everyone’s buying into the spirit of it, which was what we thought was going to be the hard part,” he said. “If yesterday is anything to go by … in all of my years at Cambridge High School, I cannot remember a time when so much House and School spirit was shown by our staff and students,” said Assistant Principal Marcel Kuijpers, from the Te Koopu Maania house.

Students have also been positive: “The new house system has started to create some house spirit into Cambridge High School, [which] has not been there for the past few years,” said Bastian Banks, a year 11 student. “It has gotten off to a great start.”

house. The change echoes similar revamps of the form class system in other schools around NZ recently, with the Waikato Diocesan School for Girls moving to vertical form classes last year. “Our big drive is to make people feel like they belong to this school …

Leadership Team member attached to the house in question if necessary. John McDonnell, the Deputy Principal in charge of welfare and pastoral care said he hoped that the new vertical form class system would minimise the number of concerns staff members would have to be involved in. Daily “conversations” in a “mentoring” capacity between year 13 members of the vertical form classes and younger students

could assist the school in managing pastoral care, said McDonnell. “One would hope that we have reduced it [incidents where staff members get involved] actually,” he said. “A lot of thought and a lot of design work has gone into [the new system]” said Thornton. “It’s cool to see students bringing it to life.” The next house-based day in an increased line-up of events is athletics on February 20.

Students from Te Koopu Maania get the house chant going.

The day began with students being divided up into their new form classes, before being pitted against other form classes from their house in a series of team building activities, to determine each house’s top scoring form class. The six ‘best’ form classes were then matched in a final event to decide the ‘best overall house’ of the day. The title ended up going to the Horotiu house. 2020 marks CHS’ transition to a vertical form class set-up, meaning form classes now consist of students from every year level, with all students coming from the same

on the back of that if you enjoy being here you are much more ready to learn, you can gain a lot more from this space than if you don’t feel like you belong,” CHS Principal Greg Thornton said in an interview with the News last year. The school has also restructured their pastoral care and disciplinary systems around the new houses. Behavioural issues will now be managed within the houses, as opposed to a previous, year level-based model. Issues will be looked after by each house’s team and would move to the Senior

Regional councillor Hugh Vercoe has been reappointed chair of the Waikato Civil Defence Joint Committee. It his his tenth year in the role. Taupō district councillor Anna Park has been appointed deputy chair. This year also marks a decade for Park in emergency management. The appointments were made at the committee’s first meeting following the local government elections. The country’s awareness of what was required for large scale emergency management was heightened as a result of the Christchurch earthquake in February 2011. “The relationships from grass roots to central government have been shaken to the core and we have all had to face the fact that emergencies are not a case of ‘if’ but ‘when’,” says Cr Park. “The way we respond, prepare our communities, reduce and mitigate exposure to risk from hazards, and our focus on recovery has been re-evaluated. “After the Christchurch earthquake, our joint committee and the Coordinating Executive Group chaired by Hauraki District Council CEO Langley Cavers, gained the support of councils, mayors and CEOs and took the responsibility seriously to make massive changes.” The joint committee recently appointed a new group manager and controller, Julian Snowball who has worked in the Waikato emergency services field.

IRT stays with Harness Jewels

Equine airfreight company IRT will continue as the major sponsor of the 2020 IRT Harness Jewels, to be held at Cambridge Raceway on May 30. “The commitment IRT is showing to the harness racing industry is amazing, having sponsored the 2019 Jewels, 2019 Inter Dominions and now the 2020 Harness Jewels,” Cambridge Raceway chief executive Dave Branch said. “We are really looking forward to working with a partner who is just as excited and passionate about the event as we are.” IRT managing director Richard Cole said the company was pleased to become the major sponsor of the Jewels for a second successive year and show their support for the industry. “It’s an event that means a lot to the harness racing community and beyond, so for us to be able to give back on such a large scale is really important for us. “IRT has a long and rich history with harness racing. From being at the forefront of stallion shuttling to and from the US, flying the greats like Cardigan Bay and Young Quinn, to being the top airfreighter of

Standardbreds from New Zealand to the US and Australia. “Harness racing has and always will be important to us, which makes it even more special to be sponsoring this event again for 2020.” Cole said he is once again looking forward to being on track to take in the atmosphere of Jewels day. “David Branch and his team know how to put on a good show and we are sure this will be another fantastic IRT Harness Jewels day with Group One racing at its best.” 2020 will be the second year the Harness Jewels will be held at Cambridge Raceway under Branch’s leadership and he said he is looking forward to the challenge. “It is one of the best opportunities we get to showcase harness racing in our community. “2018 was all about the awareness with flags down the main street and signage all around town, 2020 will be about getting more of the community involved and along for the day.” Branch is also looking forward to the Jewels Eve meeting, which will take place at

Cambridge Raceway on May 29. “It’s something we pushed for as it gives us another opportunity to host our out of town guests and visitors,” he said.

Magic will host Swifts

Te Awamutu will host top pre-season netball next month. The Splice Construction Waikato-Bay of Plenty Magic will play the New South Wales Swifts. The clash will see a 5pm start on February 12 at the Te Awamutu Event Centre. Netball Waikato-Bay of Plenty CEO Rohan West said it was fantastic opportunity to host the Australian side in the lead up to the 2020 ANZ Premiership which begins in March. “It’s a pleasure and privilege to welcome NSW Swifts back to the Waikato-Bay of Plenty Zone, and Te Awamutu Events Centre. This will be the first time we’ve hosted an Australian team since the end of the ANZ Championship, and to have the current Suncorp Super Netball champions is fantastic,” West said.

Magic head coach Amigene Metcalfe was excited about taking on the defending champions from Australia. Netball NSW CEO Carolyn Campbell said the Swifts were looking forward to the trip to New Zealand. “The Swifts and Magic had a great rivalry in the days of the trans-Tasman ANZ Championship, most notably the 2008 Grand Final, and there has always been huge respect between the clubs. “New Zealand netball is in a wonderful place and I know our players are looking forward to going head-to-head with some of the best players in the ANZ Premiership and engaging with the local community.” Tickets are on sale from the Te Awamutu i-SITE.

FRIDAY FEBRUARY 7, 2020

Flavours

with Jan Bilton

Beer essentials There’s nothing like a long, cool beer for quenching the thirst during summer. But beer can also be eaten. It’s a great flavour enhancer for many dishes including marinades, stews, breads and even desserts. Beer was first brewed from a variety of cereals such as wheat, oats, rice, millet and sorghum. It was used for braising and poaching as well as a leavener and flavour for breads and cakes. Some recipes that incorporate wine can also be prepared with a beer. The flavour will be more malty and toastier. Just choose a beer that you enjoy — as with cooking with wine, you should never use a beer that you wouldn’t drink. Ale is an English classic with its earthy, fruity flavours that marry well with cheeses and fish and chips. Bitter is a buffer for rich fatty meats and a little is perfect for slow-roasting pork for tacos. Stout is black and dry with an almost coffeechocolate flavour — perfect for chocolate cakes and desserts. Porter is like a combo of stout and pale ale — great for casseroling beef. Resist the temptation to use more beer than the recipe states — it’s an enhancement. And you don’t have to worry about getting drunk — the alcohol evaporates during cooking.

BEER DOUGH PIZZA

Beer adds deliciousness to the dough. Beer Dough Base: 3 cups high grade flour 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoon sugar 1 cup ale 2 1/4 teaspoons allpurpose active yeast 3 tablespoons milk 1 tablespoon olive oil Prawn Pizza Topping: 4 tablespoons tomato paste or onion marmalade 1 cup diced green capsicum or (thawed) peas 2 cups shredded tasty cheese 7-8 small-medium tomatoes, sliced 24 cooked shelled prawns 1/2 cup finely grated parmesan cheese 3 teaspoons dried oregano drizzle olive oil Place the flour, salt and sugar in an electric food mixer. Stir until well combined. Warm the beer slightly then stir in the yeast. Stand in a warm place for 5 minutes. Pour into the flour mixture and mix using a dough hook until it forms a dough ball. Tip onto a lightly floured bench. Knead until smooth and not sticky. Place in an oiled bowl. Cover with film. Refrigerate for 8 hours or

overnight to rise. Punch the dough down and allow to rise until doubled in size. Divide the dough in half. (One half can be returned to the fridge overnight, if required.) Pat or roll into two 30cm rounds and place in two lightly oiled pizza pans. Preheat the oven to 220°C. (The dough will rise a little while preparing the topping.) Spread the bases with the tomato paste or onion marmalade then top with remaining ingredients in the order listed. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the dough is golden and the base is cooked. Serves 6-8.

BEER MARINADE

Great for beef, lamb, chicken and pork. 1/4 cup olive oil 1/2 cup malty beer 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar 2 cloves garlic, crushed salt and pepper to taste 1 teaspoon each: dry mustard, dried basil, oregano, thyme To prepare the marinade, whisk together the oil, beer and vinegar. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well. Pour over the meat and marinate for at least 2 hours in the fridge. Makes about 3/4 cup, enough for marinating 750g meat.

‘BEERYMISU’

A twist on Tiramisu. I used a coffee and oatmeal stout but any dark beer would work. Delicious! Great served topped with blueberries or other seasonal fruit. 1/2 cup mascarpone, softened 3 tablespoons sugar 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream 120g trifle sponge 1/2 cup stout cocoa powder to garnish Combine the mascarpone and sugar in a bowl and stir to dissolve. Whip the cream until stiff. Fold into the mascarpone. Cut the sponge cake into fingers or cubes. Pour the stout into a shallow bowl. Dip the sponge into the beer, coating all sides. Divide evenly between six serving dishes or glasses, pressing lightly onto the base. Top with the mascarpone. Cover and chill for several hours or overnight. Dust with the cocoa powder. Serve berries on top or on the side. Serves 6.

This bird can fly and bark… to see if they could match the qualify ales already on the shelves, because the quality in the capital is high. From the standard range of IPA, APA, XPA and Pale Ale comes the yellow labelled Pils at a modest 4.8%. What stood out – maybe it was because it had been a long day at the office – was that this beer hit the mark from the off. It’s gorgeous, and the hoppy taste lingers. Look, to be fair, it will be a pretty cold day in Hell before I bag a beer… that’s not what this column is about – but Parrotdog pils is a cracking good ale. We followed it with a Moa Station IPA - but that’s another story.

“I was going to get a Stoke Amber this week – but you mentioned the Stoke range in the last column, so I had to change my mind,” David lamented. So, he headed slightly north from Stoke and back to the capital – to bring Gary and I a six pack of Parrotdog Pandemonium Pilsner. The Parrotdog brewery is in Lyall Bay and its website tells a tale of three men called Matt who were variously involved in a journey of home-brewing in an Aro Valley flat to opening a fully fledged (pun intended) Parrotdog Brewery. Why Parrotdog? I’ve no idea and the brewers aren’t saying. I do like that they said they decided to brew

Partnership earns award for sporting innovation A partnership between Cambridge FC and the Cambridge Junior Cricket Association has earned the two groups a prestigious trophy at this year’s Sport Waikato awards. The groups jointly won the Craig Investment Partners-sponsored Innovation in Sport & Recreation award for their efforts to collaborate on the development of pitches for use by junior footballers and cricketers. The trophy was presented at a black tie dinner hosted by Sport Waikato at the Claudelands Events Centre, Hamilton. Other finalists were the Lugtons’ Waipa Fun Run, the Meremere Drift Park/Drift Academy, RIDE: New Zealand’s Cycling Festival and Hamilton’s The Waterboy. Judges said the award followed the “collaborative initiative of two clubs agreeing on a concept, planning the installation of cricket pitches, seeking council approval and obtaining funding to ensure the joint project is flourishing.” As a result, more youngsters in Cambridge were able to take up cricket as a summer sport. The partnership was nominated for the Sport Waikato regional award after featuring at the Waipa Sports Awards late last year.

The parties entered into a three-year memorandum of understanding to provide the opportunity to play junior cricket at the football club’s grounds in Vogel St. The MoU covers a trial period of hosting cricket before the football club’s current lease with the Waipa District Council is reviewed. The lease is set to expire in 2022. In the first year of the agreement, the cricket group laid artificial wickets between junior football pitches, allowing both sports to co-exist. The cricket season (from Labour Weekend till March) dovetails well with football’s use of the grounds (May till September) and leaves spells for maintenance in April and October. Meanwhile, Cambridge FC’s Technical Director, Ricki Herbert, is making a return to international football with a short-term role helping Fiji champions Ba in the upcoming Oceania Football Champions League. Herbert, the former coach of the All Whites and the Wellington Phoenix, will spend a month managing Ba for the Oceania competition in which the series winners will go to the next FIFA Club World Cup, a trophy recently won by English club

Cambridge FC are also recruiting players for four regional youth teams (U-12, U-13 and U-14 boys, and U-14 girls). The club’s 10th annual Cambridge Sevens tournaments are scheduled for Sunday February 16 (men) and Sunday March 15 (women).

International polo on Saturday Kihikihi will host an international men’s polo clash between New Zealand and South Africa tomorrow. The 3pm clash is the highlight of the Kihikihi International Polo Day at the Nga Rakau Polo Grounds on Dick Street. New Zealand is aiming to avoid successive defeats at Kihikihi – last year Argentina visited and scored a 15-7 win. The hosts will be led by John Paul Clarkin, who plays with both the Cambridge and Mystery Creek polo clubs.

He’ll be joined by homegrown talent Kit Brooks of the Cambridge Polo Club, Mystery Creek’s Tom Hunt and Cantabrian Sam Martin. South Africa will be led by Gareth Evans, who has celebrated three South African Open wins. The day begins at 1pm with a battle-ofthe-sexes clash between the New Zealand women’s and colts teams.
