Waikato regional councillors have been told not to comment on any recent decisions as its former chair heads to court to try and get his $161,000 a year job back.

A stoush at the regional council came to a head last week when councillors, including Waipā-King Country representatives Andrew MacPherson and Stu Kneebone, voted to reinstate a suspended member in what another councillor alleges was a political deal.

Waikato Regional Council employs 580 people and collected almost $112 million in rates last year – including

about $14 million from Waipā ratepayers.

Now, six weeks out from when nominations for candidates open for the October local body elections, the 14 incumbents, except for one, are even refusing to say whether they will stand again.

The directive was uncovered by The News as we sought to report on former chair Russ Rimmington’s decision to take legal action against the council and Raglan-based councillor Fred Lichtwark over an 8-6 decision to dump him earlier last month.

We also wanted to know whether Lichtwark’s reinstatement was linked to the rolling of the chair, as

alleged by north Waikato dairy farmer Pamela Storey at a council meeting last week as she argued for Lichtwark’s suspension to continue.

We emailed all councillors on Friday asking whether they were standing for reelection and to specifically comment on two other issues.

Only two councillors responded by our 5pm deadline on Tuesday.

Former Matamata-Piako mayor Hugh Vercoe, a regional councillor since 2013, confirmed he was getting out of local government after 27 years and could not comment on any other council business because of Rimmington’s

court appeal.

Then Storey, in her first term on the council, revealed councillors had been muzzled.

“All councillors have been instructed by the CEO and chair that no councillors are to comment on any recent council decisions, including to media, as matters are now before the court. In line with those instructions, I can make no comment.”

She would not say whether she would stand again but informed sources say her “bruising” first term which included her bullying allegations against Lichtwark in a Huntly carpark in November 2020 have left her questioning

Thank you

On behalf of all of Margaret Evelyn’s family we wish to say thank you all for the outpouring of love and support we have received from everyone, some who knew Margaret and many who didn’t!

We want to send special thanks to the first responders, members of the public and others who assisted Mum right after the accident, including the lady who sat with Mum while she was freed and Penny who travelled in the ambulance with her.

To the ambulance staff, all the medical team at Waikato Hospital, we are very grateful for everything you did.

Also thanks to the male and female members of the Cambridge police who very kindly gave us extra time with Mum after she passed, while waiting for her nephew to get down from Auckland.

We are very grateful to Jim Mylchreest and Liz Stolwyk for everything they’ve done and everyone in Cambridge, the local Iwi, who performed a blessing at the site, the many people who left flowers, sent messages, and thanks Mary Anne for your wonderful tribute to Mum. If we’ve left anyone out, our sincere apologies!

Kristen Hapi Hamilton

Councillors muzzled whether a return to other governance positions would be better suited to her skills.

Lichtwark was suspended in February last year from all committees, subcommittees and other representative roles following an independent investigation by former Hamilton mayor, lawyer Julie Hardaker, but allowed to attend and vote at full council meetings.

Storey, Vercoe and Waihou representative Stu Husband, who told other media this week he would be standing for mayor of MatamataPiako and stepping down from regional council, were the only councillors who voted

Continued from page 1

against Lichtwark’s reinstatement last week.

Rimmington abstained.

Storey criticised Waipā’ representatives MacPherson and Kneebone saying the two recently wrote a letter to the editor of a King Country newspaper about good governance being about “holding governors to account.”

“I would assume that if good governance was paramount, there would be no way they would support or endorse the behaviour of Cl Lichtwark, who repeatedly and unrepentantly, bullies, harasses and threatens members of the public, staff and fellow councillors,” she said.

Unlocking secret papers

By Mary Anne Gill

Previously ‘public excluded’ reports and information from Waipā District Council could be released following a decision this week by councillors.

Legal counsel Diana Aquilina told the council if somebody made a request for a previously excluded paper, the council would do that under a Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act request.

But until their decision to delegate authority this week, there was no process for proactively releasing the information where there were no longer any grounds to

Diana Aquilina

withhold the papers.

“Sometimes the grounds for excluding the public from information/meetings changes over time, in which case the original grounds for withholding the information

may no longer apply,” she said.

“This is often the case for commercial information, where its sensitivity may lessen over time.”

There are other times when staff consider a proactive release is timely but Standing Orders provide for the chief executive to firstly inform the council at its next meeting.

The change in delegations mean chief executive Garry Dyet and deputy chief executive Ken Morris can release reports and use their discretion on how and when elected members are informed.

No mention was made of how and when the public would be told.

On the beat with Senior Constable DEB THURGOOD Don’t be pipped at the post Another word of warning this week, this time around mail order items.

You will have seen the glossy catalogues that arrive in the mail sometimes. Mail order companies often try to lure us in with the promise of big prizes or a free gift with a purchase. If you read the fine print, the chances of achieving the prize are often small or the territory over which the prize is being offered is international.

It is indeed important to read the fine print. One company’s FAQ, states that as a “prize winner”, you actually need to place a new order with them to claim the prize they say you have already won. In such situations, prizes are more a marketing ploy to gain attention and solicit more business.

They could be running more than one campaign at once and even sending you multiple brochures. Be wary to whom you give your money – is the item really a good value buy and the company reputable? Do

your research by checking independent reviews online as that will give you an idea of any potential issues.

Related to this, it can often be hard to get off an advertising mailing list once you have been put on it. Contact the mailorder companies direct and keep a record of making any request to be removed. The NZ Marketing Association also has a do not phone, do not mail list accessed by reputable marketing companies. You can add your details to this at https://marketing.org. nz/do-not-call-do-not-mail to reduce your exposure.

In other news, we continue to see panWaikato dishonesty offending in town.

There has been an increase in thefts from shops and it is clear that if offenders succeed at one store, they will go on to steal from others in town. A recent high value theft from a local shop turned out to involve the same offenders responsible for two earlier

equally high value thefts in Hamilton. If we can catch them in our town, we not only stop their spree continuing locally, but also across the whole district. My goal is for Cambridge to be seen as too hard for these regional thieves to target, so let’s hold them to account.

If you are in a store and see someone concealing items, make sure to let a staff member know as soon as possible and have them call 111 at the time. Ideally get details of any vehicle the suspects get into, including a registration and description, and watch where the go. Any direction of travel is helpful in directing police patrols. CCTV instore and at the shop frontage is essential these days. Good CCTV footage is invaluable from an evidential perspective and again, provides a level of deterrence.

I’ll be organising a Retail Crime Prevention hui soon. Have a great week! Deb

Hazel returns

Waipā councillor Hazel Barnes has returned to the council after being hounded by health issues for much of the year. The 83-year-old, who plans to step down in October, was one of two councillors on sick leave – the other was Grahame Webber who also returned to council this week.

Lake plans

A group which wants a rethink on restoring Lake Te Koo Utu is planning a drop-in session to explain its plans – which involve draining and lining the lake, and improving water flow through it. The Lake Te Koo Utu Restoration Plan Group believes existing efforts by Waipā District Council – which includes building seven rain gardens to filter surface runoff - will have minimal benefits. The rain gardens are expected to be completed by the end of the month.

Candidate evening

Waipā District Council electoral officer Warwick Lampp will host a candidate information evening for potential candidates at the local body elections later this year. The June 21 event will be at 6pm in the Karapiro Room at the Don Rowlands Centre in Maungatautari Road.

Move along – nothing to see here

By Mary Anne Gill

The environment is at no risk from the workings of an illegal quarry at Maungatautari, a Waikato Regional Council incident response officer has told the man who alerted the council to its existence.

In an email to complainant Rhys Powell last week, Shantelle Bromell said the regional council has taken “no sanction action” despite finding a minor breach on the day her team visited the site south of Cambridge.

And in a further related development, Waipā District Council this week decided not to replace former district councillor Elwyn Andree-Wiltens, who resigned last month after The News revealed she was a shareholder in the quarry which mined sand commercially for several years without a resource consent.

Her annual $33,834 remuneration package will be redistributed among deputy

mayor Liz Stolwyk and other councillors until the October local body elections.

Powell urged the regional council to conduct a forensic investigation at the quarry site after Bromell told him: “There were no risks to the environment and no evidence of sediment discharge to water or any wetlands.”

All the earthworks occurred within a ‘pit’ with no additional risk of run-off of sediment from the site, she said.

“Advice was given regarding the installation of erosion sediment controls on one side of the excavation area, as a precaution only.

“Subsequent enquiries and an assessment of the works carried out found a minor breach but with no immediate environmental effects,” Bromell said in the email.

Beacon Hill has applied to Waipā District Council for a land use consent to operate four sand quarries at Oreipunga Road. The company has also applied for two consents from the

regional council which would retrospectively authorise the sand quarrying activities and make the activities “lawful,” said Bromell.

Powell, who is opposing the establishment of a quarry on the southern outskirts of Cambridge because he says it will create huge health, environmental and cultural problems, is adamant the regional council has missed the point with the Maungatautari quarry.

“Mining can actually create accelerated erosion in some areas,” he said.

“What sort of message are Waikato Regional Council trying to send here for companies/landowners that purposely avoid applying for a resource consent and then the regional council does absolutely nothing?”

Both the Waipā and Waikato Regional councils’ websites have published the consent applications but with no indication around whether any hearings will be held.

Meanwhile Waipā mayor Jim Mylchreest has exercised his mayoral powers and appointed himself to chair

the Maungatautari Reserve Committee which AndreeWiltens previously chaired.

Other councillors will pick up the additional work her resignation created. Deputy mayor Liz Stolwyk and Cr Mike Pettit will attend Cambridge Community Board meetings; Crs Clare St Pierre and Roger Gordon will become part of the Heritage Advisory Sub-Group and Crs Susan O’Regan and Grahame Webber will make themselves available to Maungatautari ward residents.

Marae civil defence explored

By Benjamin Wilson

Civil Defence staff are exploring the role marae could play in emergencies.

“There has been an expectation that most, mainly rural marae would be stood up as a Civil Defence Centre or a Community Led Centre in the event of a Civil Defence emergency,” Strategic Partnerships manager, Gary Knighton, wrote in a report to the council’s Iwi Consultative Committee this week.

“The need for this would be primarily in response for the ability to facilitate displaced people in our communities.”

He said over the coming months Civil Defence staff intend to engage with marae and start an informal information gathering process.

They would gather information based upon the National Emergency Management Agency’s Marae Emergency Preparedness Plan, which is a toolkit to help marae assess how prepared they are

The Cambridge Community Marae is currently listed as a Civil Defence Centre.

in event of natural disasters or emergences.

“It is a good thing, to be asking these questions… Some marae have great infrastructure, others not so much, and sometimes it is less about

the infrastructure and more about how many people are around the marae locally,” Shane Te Ruki, who is the council’s iwi liaison adviser, told The News.

“Quite often marae would be

called upon, especially in smaller towns, because the communities are generally quite well integrated and tight knit, and Māori have generally been very good at looking after other people.”

Te Ruki said that non-Māori can have an incorrect perception of the communal nature of marae. And while some marae are community spaces, like the Cambridge Community Marae which is currently listed as a Civil Defence Centre, not all are.

“They’re not community houses, they’re privately owned spaces that belong to a hapu.”

He said that hapu are likely to wonder what the outcome of their engagement with Civil Defence will be, but reiterates that “all things begin with a conversation.”

“There is no expectation that all marae will wish to be included as a centre or have the facilities to offer as a centre, however this is also essential information for our welfare team to gather,” Knighton wrote.

Pink Ribbon

The annual Pink Ribbon breakfast appeal has been postponed to midJune because of a drop in the number of people registering. Chief executive Ah-Leen Rayner says that a third fewer Pink Ribbon Breakfasts have been hosted this year, representing a drop in income of roughly $600,000.

“In our third year of the pandemic, and with an under-resourced health system, breast cancer patients are really feeling the effects,” she said.

Flu is back

Eight flu cases detected by doctors in Waikato this week are likely to be the tip of the iceberg, Waikato DHB Medical Officer of Health Richard Hoskins says. They were the first cases detected this season and the Waikato DHB says it adds urgency to the push to increase immunisation levels and help people to get protected and prepared for the winter months.

Vilagrad Winery has won a silver medal for its Pinot Gris at the London International Wine and Spirits Competition.

Fourth-generation winemaker Jacob Nooyen describes the competition as the “Olympics of wine awards.” “Our Pinot Gris has consistently won national awards each year, so it was time we put it up against the top international growers,” he said. “The winery recently received a bronze medal for its 2021 Mt Pirongia Pinot Gris and a silver medal for the 2020 Charminer at the New Zealand Wine Show.

A birthday fit for our Queen

The Cambridge & Districts Pipe Band will join pipers around the world in performing a new tune to mark Queen Elizabeth 11’s Platinum Jubilee.

Pipers in Commonwealth countries are being asked to mark the Queen’s 70 years on the British throne by playing a tune composed for the occasion by Pipe Major Stuart Liddell of Inveraray, Scotland. The tune is a 6/8 march entitled ‘Diu Regnare’, Latin for ‘Long to Reign’.

Queen Elizabeth, who is New Zealand’s head of state, ascended the throne on June 2, 1953; her lengthy reign is seen as having immense historical significance.

In September 2015, she became the longest-reigning British monarch when she surpassed the 63-year-reign of her great-greatgrandmother, Queen Victoria.

Bryan Mitchell, Pipe Major with the Cambridge & Districts Pipe Band, said the special composition will be played internationally as close as possible to the United Kingdom time of 9.35pm on the night of June 2. The Cambridge band is officially registered with the UK as a participant.

“Because we are 12 hours ahead of UK time, and because there are unlikely to be many people around late Thursday evening, we are playing it at the exact New Zealand synchronous time of 9.35am on Friday morning, June 3,” he said.

“The reason it is being played so late on a Thursday evening in the

Victoria Station owner Karen Laycock is laying on a June 2 celebratory sausage sizzle tomorrow.

UK is that it coincides with the lighting of beacon fires on hilltops around Britain, from Land’s End to London … just as it was done when Sir Francis Drake defeated the Spanish Armada in 1588, and as was repeated on the 500th anniversary of that event.”

The local band will assemble outside the Cambridge Town Hall and begin the tune ‘Diu Regnare’ at 9.35am.

Bryan said they would play a few additional tunes before moving down the main street to Victoria Station, the UK-centric

Lotto outlet that sells a range of British foods, magazines and more.

Victoria Station owner Karen Laycock is delighted at the prospect of hosting the band outside her shop. Originally from England, she and her co-worker Margie Britton have gone all out to decorate the window in honour of ‘A Royal Day in June’, complete with a model monarch, cake, jewels and the quintessential tea set.

“We are also going to have a sausage sizzle and a bubble blowing machine going around the time the band is here, probably

mid-morning,” said Karen.

The band will play outside Victoria Station for a short while before heading over to Leamington to continue their tribute by playing outside Jumble Around, a charity shop with a long history of supporting the pipe band. They expect to be there around 10.45am.

Bryan said an ex-London Irish Regimental piper was travelling from Napier to support the band’s performances.

“If we were to get sponsors or expenses covered, the band could consider repeating the performance in other Waikato regional towns,” he said. “There are many people here who follow British royalty … the jubilee is a significant event and will be followed by millions around the world.”

Meanwhile, has sent a 42-strong military contingent to march in the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Pageant.

The defence force said this week the contingent was putting itself through its marching paces at Devonport Naval Base in preparation for the show at Buckingham Palace and its surrounding areas on June 5.

A taua (warrior) will act as a symbolic guard as the contingent makes its way through the streets of central London.

Masons lend a helping hand Masons have given a $7000 helping and to the Rural Support Trust.

Lodge Copernicus,

which meets in Cambridge, initiated the fundraising and gained additional funds from Lodge Waikato and the

Freemasons Charity Fund.

A number of Waikato Lodges have also opened up their Lodge rooms for use by

the Rural Support Trust and provided other support.

Trevor Hickmott, Master of Lodge Copernicus, said

the trust was providing a vital service to the rural community through its help line and a team of coordinators and facilitators.

The two organisations had much in common – “both

organisations have as their guiding principles the need to help people less fortunate than themselves with tolerance, care, kindness, honesty and trust,” he said.

Trevor Hickmott (second from right), flanked by Warwick Roberts and Don Seath, presented the cheque to Rural Support Trust chair Neil Bateup.

Rural tour a mixed bag

By Mary Anne Gill

Attendance was mixed for Cambridge Community Board’s latest rural tour with large numbers at Whitehall and Te Miro and only two at Fencourt.

In her report to last night’s board meeting, chair Sue Milner said it was in the Te Miro Hall where the biggest numbers were, and their big gripe was the traffic going through the area.

“Particularly going past the local school with children having to cross the road,” she

said.

This has led the residents to put up signs at a “crossing” to help ensure students have a safe place where they can cross to school.

There were just two members of the public at Fencourt – hall committee chair Don Heaslip and a member of the Goodwood School committee.

Heaslip asked for more parking outside the school which has become popular with families from Cambridge’s newer housing

areas.

Many families are driving their children to and from the school, said Milner.

There was also a request for a combined walking/ cycle path from Swayne Road to Goodwood School which would ease the traffic.

“It was thought that this could be popular with the children as many use a cycle track that is on the school grounds.”

In other news from the board, Milner said the brickwork was being redone on the end of Empire Street

Response programme hailed

By Viv Posselt

A free online tool launched in Hamilton to support communities through Covid is helping hundreds of Waipā people.

‘Here to help u’ is a community response website aimed at making it

easier for people to access hardship and social service support. While it grew out of a pandemic and still caters to Covid-related needs, the tool has expanded to offer access to anyone seeking support at any time.

Each response received goes through a network of

‘community connectors’ who tap into service providers to meet the requirements of those needing help.

The secure digital system was developed by the Hamilton-based NGO, the Wise Group, in March 2020 and launched there a month later. It was at a time when

organisations normally reliant on volunteers were struggling to operate as workers went into lockdown.

Its soft launch into Cambridge and the wider Waipā district in early March signified a move to extend the initiative’s coverage.

Dealing with a ‘hidden’ need ‘Here to help u’ has been welcomed by those among the first to use it in Cambridge.

Community connector with Cambridge Community House (CCH), Francis Radloff, said CCH had jumped at the opportunity to work with the online tool because of its ‘excellent track record’ during pandemic lockdowns.

“Often Cambridge is said to be doing just fine, but as a social provider we can tell you there is need, and it’s hidden. ‘Here to help u’ spreads the message that help is available, and we concentrate on providing our services.

Most requests have been for kai, so we collaborate to fulfil the need with emergency kai boxes.”

Helping CCH is the Salvation Army in Cambridge, Raleigh St Christian Centre and FreshChoice Leamington.

Both the Salvation Army and the Raleigh St Christian Centre were quick to come on board, seeing ‘Here to help u’ as an opportunity to collaborate with other services to provide assistance over a full seven days.

Cambridge Salvation Army corps

Waipā District Council’s Corren Ngerengere, left, and Felicity Beadle of the Wise Group say ‘Here to help u’ is answering a need in Cambridge.

officers Scott and Aimee Noakes said they were excited to be part of the new online referral service. “It brings together in an online space many of our fellow food providers and allows for clients in need to access specific services in a quick and seamless manner,” said Aimee.

manager Bevan Vivian said RSCC was delighted to be part of the team delivering ‘Here to help u’ at a time of need.

“We are taking assignments that come in on Sundays, and we back up the Salvation Army and Cambridge Community House if there is any overrun on other days of the week.”

Since then, ‘Here to help u’ has assisted more than 1500 people across Waipā.

Felicity Beadle, who does special projects (comms and engagement) with the Wise Group, said requests from Waipā generally cover food parcels, cleaning supplies, hygiene and sanitary products, pet food, baby products and the like.

“In the two years since ‘Here to help u’ started, no-one has fallen through the cracks. Our connections with other organisations have enabled us to assist in all cases,” she said, “and at least 80 percent of those seeking help get a response in under 24 hours.”

Felicity said one of the tool’s strengths is that it makes it easy to ask for help, particularly for newlyvulnerable individuals or families who have never been in that situation before.

Other benefits are that it is free to the end-user, requires no face-to-face contact, and the website integrates with a wide network of providers.

New features are continually being added to strengthen its effectiveness and flexibility.

“At that stage of the pandemic, I was having to manually triage calls for help in our community. I loved the way the ‘Here to help u’ streamlined efficiencies, so we pooled our resources to broaden its reach,” she said. “It is important to have a system that makes people feel comfortable about reaching out. ‘Here to help u’ does that, and then does the heavy lifting needed to provide that help. It frees up the providers to do what they do best.”

Felicity said most requests are submitted online, with a freephone number (0800 568 273) used by those without digital access. A high number of people are using a mobile phone to submit a help request on the website, and feedback from users suggests connectors are successful in meeting needs.

Corren said the initiative can only be as good as the back-end support given by providers in the wider community. “This system means we can be more collaborative in meeting needs,” she said.

“The response has been phenomenal.”

Parents of 3-5 year olds are being urged to check their child’s status.

There is generally a pronounced drop in childhood immunisation coverage since 2020 across the country, due in part to the focus on Covid-19 and the reduced prevalence of serious childhood illnesses while the borders were closed.

There is also an ongoing campaign to get teenagers and young adults fully immunised against measles as many 17-32 year-olds, born after January 1, 1969, have missed one or both recommended doses of MMR vaccine.

Waipā dog registration fees have been set for the year, but one district councillor wants to know why rural dog owners do not get a discount for neutering their dogs.

The council’s full schedule of fees and charges were adopted at this week’s meeting. The schedule includes administration, building, cemetery, professional, development contributions, library, recycling and facility fees.

But it was the dog fees which attracted the interest of Pirongia ward councillor Bruce Thomas.

From July 1, dog owners in urban areas will get a $10 discount off the $92 fee if their dog is neutered and

in Thompson Street until tomorrow from 10am to 3pm. Vaccinators have access to the National Immunisation Register and can check whether a child is eligible as part of the catchup campaign for measles, mumps and rubella (MMR).

The clinics also offer free flu immunisations for those eligible.

Dr Richard Hoskins, Waikato DHB medical officer of health says it is understandable parents are confused about their children’s immunisation status.

another $15 rebate for suitable fencing.

The fee for rural dogs is $53 with no discounts.

All fees are due by June 30 or if paid after August 1, attract a 50 per cent penalty.

“There is nothing mentioned about neutered fees for rural dogs,” said Thomas.

“When a person asks me ‘my dog is neutered, an urban dog gets $10 off, why can’t I?’” Mayor Jim Mylchreest said the discount in town was an encouragement to stop dogs wandering.

“Rural dog fees have always been cheaper and there’s never been that discount in my memory,” he said.

“A dog’s a dog and they do the same thing anywhere,” said Thomas.

‘Third age’ uni popular

By Viv Posselt

Interest in the formation of a University of the Third Age - U3A - Cambridge has been so strong that the group’s founder, businesswoman Carey Church, has already secured a larger venue.

The initial May 24 public interest meeting at the Cambridge Health and Community Centre in Taylor St attracted 76 people, and more than 40 others expressed enthusiasm but were unable to make it on the day.

As a result of that and based on the steady interest shown since the launch, Carey has decided to hold a follow-up public interest meeting at the same venue on Friday June 17, starting at 10.30am.

“That meeting is for all those who couldn’t make it to the first one, or who have just found out about U3A,” she said. “It’s also for those wanting to find out more about the special interest groups, and perhaps join one.”

Carey is elated at the uptake for a Cambridge U3A. “There was a really good response and we had more than enough

volunteers step up for committees, and for helping set up and break down the meeting space,” she said.

“There were a lot of suggestions for special interest groups, which is great, but we also need convenors to run them. Some people think they need to be a subject expert to run a group – that isn’t the case. The convenor role is an administrative one, they simply organise and manage the groups by getting people together, working out

the details, and doing a report back each month for the newsletter. It’s a great opportunity to learn alongside other members.”

Given the likely numbers attending future meetings, Carey has secured a permanent home for U3A Cambridge – the Woolshed at Te Awa Lifecare in Cambridge. The date for the first meeting there is to be confirmed.

“That is thanks to Te Awa’s generosity, and we are very grateful.”

AGE OF REASON

FAITH IN WAIPĀ

The world around us

The importance of encouragement

I am sitting at my desk on a still Sunday afternoon listening to laughter outside accompanying the clack of croquet mallets on the adjacent lawn. All is peaceful in this quiet backwater of senior citizens.

Yet, awakening this morning to face the complete lack of local TV news, I turned instead to a well-respected Middle East based broadcasting channel. I heard a cacophony of sad news about food shortages (Afghanistan), anti-government riots (Sri Lanka), European conflict with resultant misery (Ukraine) and the aftermath of the terrible and, what is now, frequent slayings of a group of children in their place of learning (USA). I heard the political leader of the United States clearly stating that should China and Taiwan get into armed conflict, the US would support the island nation created in 1949 when divergent political thoughts in China caused the emergence of what has become a very successful and hardworking nation.

It seems strangely unfair that the world is made up of a dichotomy of life’s clearly unfair choices, resulting in post-trauma effects that will see world shortages of grain, escalation in the price of oil, displacement of millions of hitherto happy people and possibly a dive towards financial misery everywhere.

Meanwhile across the Tasman the brandnew government of Australia has, in its first week of taking control, already despatched its new foreign minister to both Japan and Fiji. The latter visit was clearly linked to the possibility of small South Pacific nations succumbing to the golden largesse of the major Sino power to the right of Manchuria.

There is history here. In the 1970’s the then governments of New Zealand and Australia were becoming concerned with

I saw an article recently about a young New Zealand entrepreneur who has established a successful business.

From an early age she applied a remarkable work ethic and business aptitude to various job initiatives. Launching her own business has brought financial success.

But a curious backlash has come with that. By her own account, not everyone has applauded or cheered her on. With success, came lots of criticism and condemnation.

She noted that her choice of car (a Ferrari), brought considerable judgment upon her.

Apparently within our culture, the “tall poppy” syndrome actively stifles the ability of some people, to celebrate the success of others.

This young business woman reflected on the lack of encouragement existing for someone who works hard and establishes a thriving business. She commented that people who become Lotto millionaires are more celebrated than self-starters who work extremely hard and happen to attain millionaire status. She believes this plays a part in creating the disenchantment that leads young people of her age to search offshore for ‘bigger’ work environments instead of staying within New Zealand.

I’m not evaluating rights or wrongs or inherent pitfalls of pursuing wealth and the trappings that can accompany it. Of course there’s dangers in materialism that predispose a person to self-indulgent, ostentatious living, but my point has to do with the ability many of us lack, to encourage or applaud a person such as the young lady I have referenced.

Without criticising or demeaning Kiwi culture, I suspect we’re inept and immature as ‘encouragers’. We’re reserved and coy about

By Peter Carr

the appearance of both Russian and Chinese influence in this idyllic corner of the world. They became initiators and major financiers of a shipping line linking our two countries with a number of small nations who could easily have been wooed to permit, under the cover of fishing treaties, the capability to create maritime bases south of the equator.

History often repeats itself. It is relatively easy to imagine Chinese bases in the Solomons. Further east the enormous economic fishing zones surrounding multiisland nations with large geographic spreads must look attractive. The Solomons are short of funds and in some cases are fearful of global warming reduction of their shorelines.

They may choose to forget the enormous largesse that the trans-Tasman powers have bestowed upon them for several decades.

Now New Zealand combines the role of Minister of Foreign Affairs with the portfolio of Trade. But it is very clear that trade, for many years, has dominated the thrust of the various office holders. At the same time our country has severely wound down its defence forces especially in the matter of materials.

While this is partly understandable it may be that there will be a call for a swing back towards international compatibility matched by suitable strengths of uniformed personnel and hardware – whether on land, sea or in the air. Even large drones are now seen as a very useful tool in both observational and projectile controls.

This is not meant to be alarmist. But just how safe are we locking ourselves behind our coastline even if that fortress mentality was initiated by a pandemic?

By Murray Smith, Senior Leader, Bridges Church

simply telling people we think they have value or have done well… we’re prone to ‘help’ others not get too ‘big-headed’ by not lavishing too much praise or enthusiasm for their accomplishments.

Maybe it’s a vestige from British stock?

That ‘stiff upper lip’ and understated approach leads to a distinct absence of encouragement.

Eighty years ago, an engineering school student developed a design for jet engine propulsion that proved to be revolutionary.

Frank Whittle’s jet engine design was a paradigm shift from the piston engines that were used in aeroplanes until that point.

His professor observed this student’s work and cynically declared “very interesting Whittle my boy, but it will never fly”.

Fortunately Frank Whittle didn’t give up - in spite of little encouragement and the critical naysayers of his day. It’s been said that if Sir Frank Whittle’s jet engine was accepted earlier by the Royal Air Force, World War Two could have been drastically shortened.

Hopefully there’s people in your life who are encouragers. Perhaps you’ve experienced belittlement rather than being lifted up.

For anyone whose confidence and sense of identity has been eroded through lack of encouragement, here’s good news.

There is a God who ‘believes’ in you - even if your belief in Him is shaky. He declares Himself as the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort (encouragement), telling us “the plans I have for you are for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope”.

Be encouraged by that!

Crying over spilt milk

By Steph Bell-Jenkins

Three-year-old Tobias Overwater sits beside his mother Jenny on their living room sofa, quietly pulling apart the aeroplane he built with Stickle Bricks.

There’s no indication he hasn’t had a proper meal for five days until he crawls behind his mum, stands up, wraps his arms around her and lays his head on her shoulder.

“I’m hungry” he says gently.

It would be so easy if Jenny could just grab him a piece of fruit or a glass of milk from the fridge.

Instead she fetches a plastic tub of Healtheries Potato Stix from the kitchen and tears off the plastic lid.

“He pretty much lives on these,” she says. “They’re our friend.”

This week is National Infant and Child Gastric Reflux Awareness Week.

Jenny, who lives in Cambridge, is the national coordinator of the Gastric Reflux Support Network New Zealand (GRSNNZ), also known as Crying Over Spilt Milk, which offers support and information to help families caring for infants and children suffering from gastric reflux.

“Unless you’re going through it or have been through it, it’s very difficult to understand,” she said.

“Talking to another mum who goes ‘yep, we’re in the same boat’ just makes such a difference.”

Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease

Roger and Jenny Overwater with their son Tobias, who suffers from gastro-oesophageal reflux disease.

(Gord) occurs when a valve at the top of the stomach doesn’t close properly after feeding. Food and digestive acids are regurgitated through the oesophagus and can spill out through the mouth, causing inflammation and pain.

Common symptoms include irritability, crying, poor sleep, feeding difficulties and gagging or choking.

The problem usually resolves by the time babies are 12 months

old but can continue for years, especially when underlying health issues are involved.

Jenny first became worried about Tobias when he was two weeks old.

He stopped sleeping well, began to struggle with breastfeeding and “had a couple of really decent power chucks”.

She consulted health professionals but was told not to worry, it was normal.

“You come home and feel like

you haven’t been heard because it doesn’t feel normal to see your baby in constant pain,” Jenny said.

An informal survey of 148 New Zealanders caring for children with Gord carried out by Crying Over Spilt Milk recently showed how common that situation is.

While 92 per cent reported Gord was controlled, only 19 per cent had “felt listened to or heard”.

More than 60 per cent of respondents reported being treated

as neurotic or over anxious, almost half felt their concerns had been brushed off as behavioural or parenting issues and 55 per cent were dissatisfied with the care and support they’d been offered.

That’s why the theme of this year’s awareness week is “we hear you”.

Three years into their reflux journey, Jenny and her husband Roger are still battling to help their son, who also has mild cerebral palsy and epilepsy.

Tobias gets most of his nutrients from a special milk formula that is pumped into his body at night via a feeding tube threaded down through his stomach and into his small bowel.

When The News visited he hadn’t been able to tolerate his formula for five days because of complications with the feeding tube.

“We’ve been keeping him hydrated with an electrolyte solution but milk is causing him massive pain,” Jenny said.

A recent operation to strengthen the valve at the top of Tobias’ oesophagus and cure his reflux had also failed.

Jenny wants to use her own experiences and knowledge to help other parents.

“I feel so lucky being in Cambridge – we’ve had incredible support from our community,” she said.

“I want to support other parents in the same way.”

Quiet response to a big challenge

By Tom Roa, Tikanga Advisor, Waikato University

Taiea te Taiao. This is the Māori name of the Maungatautari to Pirongia Ecological Corridor Project.

The principal aim of the project, led by NZ Landcare Trust and funded principally by the Ministry for the Environment’s Freshwater Improvement Fund, is to link these two most significant landmarks of our region via an ecological corridor between the waterways of the Mangapiko and Ngaparierua Streams.

Interestingly, without a fanfare of selfpromotion, the project is powerfully collaborative.

The Maungatautari to Pirongia Ecological Corridor Inc Soc is progressing the project alongside community groups: the Pirongia Te Aroaro o Kahu Restoration Society; the Maungatautari Ecological Island Trust; with local and regional councils: Waikato Regional Council and Waipā District Council; and mana whenua groupings: Ngāti Koroki-Kahukura Trust; Pūrekireki Marae; Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Apakura.

Teens out at 10…

other agencies such as QEII and Doc, are also working to improve and enhance riparian margins, create wetland habitat, and reduce predators to increase biodiversity in the region.

That collaboration includes invitations to other individuals and organisations who would like to support the project in enhancing water quality along the corridor, encouraging iconic native birds from the two mountains to spill out into the surrounding landscape and use habitat along the streams.

The habitat for indigenous bird-life, insects, etc, will be improved further with more native plantings and increased weed and pest control. And practically anyone can get involved by joining with the many others already working to help the native fauna and flora of the district thrive.

We see much made globally about Climate Change, with strident calls for politicians and those in postions of power to do more in addressing the climate emergency.

Here we have but one example of an initiative quietly going about the task of responding locally to the global challenge.

There are many more.

Here also we see a prime example of a spirit of collaborative co-operation - cogovernance of a shared concern and the co-creation of an enterprise which everyone ‘owns’, and no-one can not support.

Taiea te Taiao – mā Mangapiko, mai i Maungatautari ki Pirongia – ahu ake.

Acknowledging, celebrating the environment, via the Mangapiko, from Maungatautari to Pirongia – and beyond.

I realise I have written at some length about living with teenagers but they are the source that keeps on giving and so I shall do it again.

The 18-year-old recently passed his driving test and now has a restricted licence. Of late he has been going to the gym at night after work with his friends, which is fine. On the first day having passed his test, he emerged from his room at 10pm and said “am I good to go to the gym?” and we said “Yes, of course, how do you plan to get there?”

He said “I’ll drive.”

We said “but you’re not allowed to drive between the hours of 10pm and 5am.”

He said “Oh, but all my friends’ parents let them do it.”

We said “is that right? Your friend’s parents give them permission to break the law?”

“Yes” he said, “and anyway, if anything happens I’ll take the consequences.”

“Oh, OK. Well, in that case, that’s fine” we said.

He turned and headed for the door. As his hand was outstretched for the handle we continued “except that it’s not, if you drive illegally you will not be covered by insurance - therefore it’s not happening”.

This did not go down well. There ensued a very lively debate in which tempers became frayed.

Anyway, the next morning everything was back to normal and the 18-year-old, expressed his desire to borrow the family car to take himself to work and after that shift, he would drive himself to his next job, which is as a kitchen hand in one of Cambridge’s fine restaurants. “That’s all right”, we said. But how do you plan to get home from there?”

“I’ll drive.” Here we go again.

“You don’t finish until close to midnight.”

Sparks flew once more.

It became apparent if it wasn’t already, that the teenager hadn’t actually taken on board anything that had been said the night before.

On a separate occasion, standing in the shower I reached up, eyes closed, to grab the shampoo, which it turns out wasn’t there.

You can surely guess where it was - in his bathroom downstairs.

So having finished, with hair unwashed, I went to the teenager’s room, found his wireless headphones and put them on top of the medicine cabinet in our bathroom upstairs. Sure enough, the next day he asked if anyone had seen his headphones.

You’re an adult; you work two jobs; you live in our house; the rent you pay doesn’t cover the cost; if you want shampoo or face wash, or frozen berries for your smoothies, you’re welcome to borrow our car between the hours of 5am and 10pm and drive to the supermarket. Am I being unreasonable? I think not.

But then I know of other teenagers who have an easier ride than ours. What is the right tactic? How should we teach young ONLY PLANET people to be responsible, self sufficient, and more importantly happy adults?

Thanking Red Cross volunteers

By Viv Posselt

Serving and retiring Red Cross community drivers were thanked at a morning tea and presentation held last week at Lauriston Park Homestead.

The event was organised by Cambridge Community House (CCH), under whose banner the Red Cross driving service operates.

Each of the drivers was presented with framed certificates and coffee mugs.

CCH general manager Gabby Byrne said it was timely to recognise their value to the community.

“This may be the first time we have done this as a morning tea and a small presentation, but with some of our drivers retiring, it seems appropriate. We want to thank all our drivers for their valued time, for their safe driving, and for the use of their own vehicles in transporting people to and from their appointments,” she said.

“Most of all, I want to thank

Cambridge Community House general manager Gabby Byrne and receptionist Amy Watkins, both at left, talking to the drivers after the presentation.

them for the caring way in which they build rapport with those using the service.”

Helping with the presentation was Amy Watkins, who runs the reception desk at CCH and helps

co-ordinate driver calls. Both she and Gabby said the demand was growing steadily as the country moves out of lockdown, and medical appointments increasingly switch back from online to face-to-

face visits.

“We need more volunteers to come onto our system to ease the strain on those already on the roster. People can let us know how much time they would want to

commit … we’d like them to come and talk to us about it,” said Amy. Drivers go through a police check before progressing through the system.

They need to be fully licensed and their vehicle needs to be fully warranted, registered and insured.

Drivers are offered reimbursement to cover fuel costs.

Once onto the call roster, drivers respond as needed by liaising with the person seeking transport, collecting them from their home, taking them to their appointment and waiting to take them home – unless the appointment is for an extended period of time.

Wheelchairs are available through the service if the driver’s car can accommodate it. Most of the calls are for weekdays.

Some of the drivers present at the tea said it was one of the most satisfying things they had done.

Many found it gave them a sense of ‘giving back’ and said they enjoyed making a difference and easing the concerns of people who may be undergoing health challenges.

WINTER

THURSDAY JUNE 2, 2022

2022

Simple Ways to warm your house for winter hang quality curtains with a thermal backing.

Ask around for the best places. With curtains, thicker is often better. Close curtains when the sun starts to set, as this will help to trap any warmth built up from throughout the day. Curtains that fall to the floor offer higher heat prevention than those that don’t. Blinds are somewhat effective too, but thermal drapes will offer the most protection.

Nothing is worse than a cold, draughty house over winter. A lot of people cannot stand being cold. In fact, one of life’s key lessons should be - a happy partner is one who is not cold! Aside from the steely glares you’ll receive, a cold house can lead to ill health, depression and create a lot of mental and physical unwellness. Avoid the cold by following these simple tips to retain heat inside your home.

What’s the best way to heat a home?

Check gutters – for cracks and leaves Having water flow away from your home is essential. If it’s overflowing from blocked gutters or spilling through visible cracks or poorly attached downpipes, it’ll pool on the ground, cause flooding, and invite dampness and cold. The Fix – remove leaves, ensure gutters are free of debris and undertake gutter repairs. Sealing cements to rejoin gutters need dry surfaces and fine weather to adhere correctly. That means doing repairs now rather than in the wet of winter.

different recommended R-values. So whether you use foam insulation, Batts, or polystyrene do your research and talk to professionals to make sure you get the option that’s right for you. Batts can also come in ecofriendly natural wool which is growing in popularity and has a high R-value. The higher the R-value a product has the greater the thermal resistance it will provide.

Make sure your home is insulated Insulation products come with different R-values. This is a measurement used to determine a material’s ability to resist heat transfer – essentially how well it traps heat.

Ceilings, walls and underfloor all have

Toshiba Edge High Wall Series

and pipes If your hot water cylinder is not wrapped in a silver- looking thermal cover then you should definitely invest in one. Heating a home’s water supply throughout the year - not just in winter, is one of the biggest expenses a home can have. Preventing any heat from escaping will save on your energy bills.

Cylinder pipes should also be well insulated with foam piping. Again, your hardware store will have these items and they are worth every cent.

Key Features

Old colonial cottages – can be especially drafty. Sealing foam strips from your hardware store or $2 shop are incredibly cheap. Use the product around windows and doors to close gaps and prevent cold drafts from entering. Seal bigger gaps at the base of doors with a blanket or towel, or buy a draught stopper ‘snake’ to butt again the gap.

These are fairly cheap and available from most hardware or homeware stores.

Cover glass windows Depending on a range of factors like the type and age of windows in your home, whether there’s any gaps or double glazing etc., windows can account for anywhere from 10%-35% of heat loss in a home. Aside from double or triple glazing, and sealing any drafts, the best practical measure that homeowners can take to avoid heat loss is to

There are many options to consider. A heater? A fireplace? A log burner? A pellet burner? A heat pump? A combination of both? Research the right option for your home. No matter what it is, only heat the rooms of the house that you need and consider a heat transfer unit. This disperses hot air from areas where there is excess (commonly the ceiling cavity or main family room) to other rooms that you choose (like bedrooms). It means additional heating devices are not required, leading to power savings. For impartial advice on the costs and benefits of different heating options, visit a consumer-led website like: www. consumer.org.nz/articles/heating-options.

Electric blankets or hot water bottles?

Using either will help warm you inside a bedroom. Electric blankets can be a fire risk so should always be checked yearly with an electrician. Water bottles are affordable and generally perform well. They are an excellent option for those on a budget and easily obtainable from a hardware or homeware store.

Final thoughts Take steps that are within your budget and do what you can afford. Also check out the many websites that exist to provide support and guidance. The Energy Efficiency & Conservation Authority website, www.eeca. govt.nz/co-funding/insulation-and-heatergrants/ is worth visiting to see if you qualify for a grant through the Warmer Kiwi Homes Programme. Those who meet the criteria can receive a grant to cover 80% of the total cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation and 80% of the cost of an approved heater up to $3000. The website, https://genless.govt.nz/ for-everyone/ is also worth visiting, especially the At Home section which will give you further advice on the measures you can take to make your home warm, dry and healthier plus save on power bills.

Another title for Belfield

Waipā 21-year-old Leah Belfield has collected her second United States sprint title in as many months.

She added the NCAA Division 2 outdoor title to the indoor title she won in March, and in the process ran the fifth fastest time ever by a Kiwi of 23.30secs.

It has been an amazing 2022 for the Arohena raised sprint ace as her short outdoor season carries on where she left off in the indoor season.

After a steady start in mid-January Belfield lit up at her Conference finals winning the 60m and 200m, twice breaking the New Zealand indoor record for the 60m. She then progressed to the national indoor champs and again broke the 60m record on the way to finishing second, then capped the season off by winning the national indoor title in the 200m.

Her outdoor season has been peppered with fast times in both the 100m and 200m although many of those have had tail winds. She did manage to get a recognised 100m time when

finishing second in her Conference final of 11.48, placing her 5th on the New Zealand all-time list.

At the NCAA National finals held at Allendale, Michigan on the weekend, she lowered her 100m time further to 11.45 in her heat, and then ran 24.40 in her 200m heat to make both finals ranked in the top three.

Finals Day was a busy few hours starting with the 4x100m relay where along with her West Texas A&M teammates they were narrowly beaten in to second place in a school record of 44.31 – losing to Minnesota State by just 0.02 seconds. Leah ran a strong second leg to get her team back in to contention after a slow first leg.

An hour later and it was the 100m final.

Minnesota’s Jackson took the title whilst Leah looked like she would be second before her teammate, Canadian Deondra Green, pipped her on the line.

Just another hour later and it was the 200m final with the same three girls likely to be at the forefront. But this time it was Belfield who

Results

was to prevail. After a strong start there were five athletes in a line entering the straight and it was still tight with 30m to go but Belfield hit the afterburners and scooted clear in the final 30m.

Leah returns home this week before heading back to Texas in late August where she has two more years of eligibility on her Scholarship. She is studying Sports and Exercise Science and is a straight A student.

For her parents, Alan & Karina Belfield, and former coach Murray Green, it was an early 6am start on Sunday, and a nervous but rewarding few hours watching the live stream of the event.

“Just to get to the finals is huge, only the top 24 across the nation in each event get there, and then to make the final is a bonus – winning a title is out of this world,” Green said.

Two other Kiwis made the division 2 finals.

Christopher Goodwin from Hamilton won the Long Jump in his final year, jumping 7.93m to move him to fourth on the all-time New Zealand list, whilst Alison Andrews-Paul from Wairarapa was second in the 800m.

Champs again – St Peters takes title

St Peter’s School has retained the Waikato Secondary Schools’ golf team championship title.

A dozen St Peter’s golfers competed in the annual intercollegiate teams championship at the Hamilton Golf Club.

The team format involved four players with the best three scores counting toward the final total.

After a shaky start and in cool conditions, the St Peters first team trailed the Hamilton Boys High School team, but as the round unfolded and with a couple of key things going their way, St Peter’s managed win by two shots.

The team finished with an eight over par

team total built on the back of an outstanding low round of the day, a 3 under par 69, by School Captain Ing Iadpluem.

The St Peter’s 2nd team, Heart Iadpluem, Ben Ambler, Baxter Smith and Nick Greaney, finished third, anchored by a 3 over par 75 from Heart. The 3rd team of Jack Saunders, Morgan Baker, Max White and Lucas Peng were also not far off the podium, due in no small part to a fantastic 4 over par 76 from Lucas.

It was the 12th provincial Championship title for St Peter’s since it introduced a golf coaching programmes and opened a golf centre in 2006.

And the winner were, from left, Ryan Courtney, Suwanna McPhee, Ing Iadpluem and George Hodgson

THURSDAY JUNE 2, 2022

with Jan Bilton

Pork appeals Pork provides more bang for your buck than many other meats. It’s a firm favourite on the summer barbie and a top choice for warming winter winners.

The key to producing tender, juicy pork is to avoid overcooking. Pork schnitzels take about 1-2 minutes each side to cook depending on the thickness. Sliced in a stir-fry, schnitzels take 2-3 minutes to cook.

And the New Zealand Pork Board has been advocating new rules for cooking chops and steaks. It’s the ‘6+2+2’ method.

For chops or steaks about two centimetres thick, pan-fry in a little oil or butter for six minutes on medium heat then flip over and cook for two minutes on the other side. Remove the chops, cover and rest for two minutes before serving.

Fat-trimmed pork is 20-40 per cent leaner than it was 25 years ago. There is only five per cent fat in a leg steak. If all visible fat is removed, the fat content drops to just one per cent.

Pork mince can be used in just about any recipe calling for beef mince. It is excellent in chillies, curries, meatballs, meatloaves and pasta dishes. Burger patties take about five minutes each side to cook. They’re delicious served in pita breads with salad, chopped raw onion and a dash of yoghurt.

HOISIN MEATLOAF Asian flavours add pizzazz to this yummy loaf.

1 tablespoon canola oil 1 medium onion, chopped 3 cloves garlic, crushed 1 tablespoon finely grated root ginger 2 spring onions. finely sliced 1/4 cup each: hoisin sauce, tomato sauce, divided 1kg minced pork 1 cup soft breadcrumbs 1 large egg, lightly beaten 3 tablespoons soy sauce Preheat the oven to 180°C. Heat the oil in a wok or non-stick frying pan on medium.

Sauté the onion, garlic, ginger and spring onions on medium for about 3 minutes. Set aside.

Hoisin meatloaf

Five Spice pork schnitzel stir-fry

Combine the hoisin and tomato sauces in a small bowl.

Combine the minced pork, breadcrumbs, egg, soy sauce and the onion mixture in a bowl. Add half the hoisin/tomato sauce mixture. Mix well.

Pat into a 24cm by 12cm loaf pan. Bake for 45 minutes.

Remove from the oven and drain off any fat.

Spread the remaining hoisin/tomato sauce mixture on top.

Return to the oven and continue baking for 10 minutes. Great topped with crispy noodles. Serves 6-8.

Heat a large non-stick frying pan over high. Add the oil and swirl it around. Add the garlic and sizzle for a few seconds.

Remove the pork from the marinade and pat dry. Add to the pan in a single layer. Cook for 30 seconds, turn over and cook for another 30-60 seconds.

Add the spinach, water and brown sugar and stir-fry until wilted. Add the spring onions and serve. Serves 4.

FIVE SPICE PORK SCHNITZEL STIR-FRY Shaoxing cooking wine is prepared from fermented rice and available at most supermarkets and Asian food stores.

1 tablespoon each: soy sauce, Shaoxing cooking wine 1 teaspoon each: Chinese five-spice, cornflour 400g pork schnitzel 2 tablespoons canola oil 4 cloves garlic, chopped 1 1/2 cups finely sliced spinach 1 tablespoon water 1 teaspoon brown sugar 2 spring onions, sliced Combine the soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, five-spice and cornflour in a shallow dish. Mix well.

Flatten the schnitzel with a rolling pin if thick. Cut the schnitzel into 5-6cm pieces. Add to the soy mixture and marinate for at least 10 minutes.

STICKY BBQ-STYLE PORK SLICES 1kg pork slices or fingers Marinade: 2 cloves garlic, crushed 1 teaspoon grated root ginger 3 tablespoons each: soy sauce, orange juice 1 tablespoon each: cornflour, sugar, vinegar 1 teaspoon chilli paste salt and pepper to taste Trim the slices and cut into serving size pieces, if necessary.
