Dogged for consulting

By Mary Anne Gill

Dogs look certain to remain welcome at Cambridge’s Lake Te Koo Utu – but a call from the district council for community feedback has been met with howls of criticism Waipā District Council announced last week it wanted to listen to the community to get its thoughts around dog policies.

The response online was a wave of sarcasm and a call for a public protest.

Dog lovers got the wrong end of the stick when the council opened comments on its Dog Control Policy and Bylaw review. That review suggests tighter control of dogs at Lake Te Koo Utu and Te Awamutu’s War Memorial Park dogs would only allowed there on leads.

Another proposal is to prohibit dogs from going onto Kakepuku Maunga as their presence is considered culturally inappropriate by iwi.

A public webinar will be held on Tuesday.

Participants have been asked to register by email.

Councillors Mike Pettit and Susan O’Regan said elected representatives unanimously agreed banning dogs from Lake Te Koo Utu was never an option.

“For dogs to be prohibited from the lake would have to be strongly community led and I very much doubt there would be overwhelming support for this,” said Pettit.

“It has been disappointing that our messaging around this issue hasn’t been great, and we accept this,” said O’Regan.

“People who take a lot of pleasure from enjoying these special places in our district to walk their dogs, have been understandably upset by this mistake and for that we apologise.”

But in the face of that, keyboard warriors went into battle.

“Bloody council have nothing better to do,” one posting said, before suggesting the consultation was a result of staff having nothing to do.

“Are they bored? Do they need some actual

projects to work on? Do they do anything the community actually wants?” the post, which appeared on a popular Cambridge community website continued.

And in a further barb another posting suggested the call for views was a sham because “they just do whatever they want regardless of what any of us ratepayers think.”

Another called for a public protest, dogs and

all, outside the council’s Te Awamutu building next Wednesday on the grounds that the council was taking away one of life’s pleasures.

Among the bizarre suggestions on a Facebook page was a suggestion people without dogs should be banned from Lake Te Koo Utu. Waipā District Growth and Regulatory group manager Wayne Allan said council had not made any decisions, it was just trying to

gauge public opinion.

From that, the council would draft a new policy and bylaw and go out to the community for formal consultation.

“We know dog owners feel passionately and no doubt will want to share their views.

And we also need to consider the views of others in the community so there will be some interesting discussion in the months to come,” said Allan.

In the media spotlight

Four of the female cyclists in the New Zealand cycling team for the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham were pictured before the team announcement at Cambridge’s Velodrome last week. Pictured were, from left, Olivia King, Rebecca Petch, Ellesse Andrews and Bryony Botha while behind them (slightly obscured) are Nick Kergozou, Bradley Knipe, Sam Dakin and Sam Webster. Cycling NZ chief executive Monica Robbers, who lives in Cambridge, said the 30-strong New Zealand cycling team, well represented by Waipā-based riders and support staff, was a very strong group with a mix of experienced professionals and exciting young riders. Robbers will attend the Commonwealth Games, which start on July 28, and provide regular updates to The News from the ground.

Out of Africa, into Cambridge

By Viv Posselt

Author David ‘Dave’ Farrell is deeply grateful for his upbringing in the former Rhodesia.

A free, rough-and-tumble childhood under the sun, later tempered by lessons learned in the English-style boarding school environment, gave him a discipline he appreciates to this day. He believes he was gifted through that experience with a sound work ethic and a sweeping ambition, one that later took him to several countries and gave him a rich understanding of people.

Much of that now echoes through a book Dave says it took him 20 years to extract from his scribblings, one that chronicles much of the shifting challenges as Rhodesia became Zimbabwe. ‘The Chameleon’ tells the story of a boy growing up in the then Rhodesia, facing racial challenges and civil turmoil that leads him to believe he needed to mimic the adaptability of his pet chameleon. It speaks to a view of his world through the eyes of his domestic worker, while touching on the AIDS epidemic, squatter camps and enduring friendships.

Dave was born in Gwelo (now Gweru) and did his secondary education at Plumtree School, an institution in Matabeleland opened in 1902 and run along the lines of the British boarding school system. Expectations were high, even if the environment was

tough, sometimes brutal.

“We had to sit in prep rooms for hours a day,” he recalled. “I got bored with the work, so I started writing a journal and I’ve never stopped.”

Aged just 19, he left for England with a bunch of mates. Early years were spent around the Cirencester and Stroud areas, but it was a chance brush against reminders of the then provocative author Jilly Cooper and satirist Terry Pratchett that inspired him to become an author.

A career in big retail gave him the wherewithal to develop his writing, and Dave went on to pursue his preferred genres of historical fiction, coming-of-age sagas and non-fiction.

When Nelson Mandela was released in 1990, the family moved to Johannesburg in South Africa, hoping to give their children the life they had enjoyed in Africa. Years later, they opted for another move, this time to New Zealand in 2008.

“I hadn’t really thought of New Zealand but was offered a job in Te Awamutu and took it. We got lost driving there and stumbled upon Cambridge … it’s where we decided we wanted to live long term.”

The discipline he alluded to comes through in Dave’s daily 4.30am start, after which he puts in several hours’ writing before going to work at Mitre 10 Cambridge.

His book has been acclaimed for its human

Dave Farrell’s novel on life in Africa will launch next week.

approach to dealing with the transition of a country from its colonial era through to today.

He has had a fascination for human behaviours for decades, with a particular interest in autism. A close personal brush with the spectrum has seen him research the condition extensively, and his advocacy for autistics sees him running an online group with many thousands of followers.

On the beat with Senior Constable DEB THURGOOD Dealing with youth crime Youth offending is my first focus this week. We have seen an increase in youth crime – burglary, thefts, wilful damage, assaults, graffiti and general disorder.

Sometimes teens act differently when they are in a group than they would when alone, and one person can quickly influence and lead others into bad decision making. Do you know with whom your teen is hanging out, where they go and what they are doing there?

In New Zealand a ‘youth’ is 14-17 years old. (‘Children’ are 10-13 years old and 18-year-olds are dealt with as ‘adults’).

Under the Youth Justice system, cases where a youth has committed minor offending will usually go through the Police Youth Aid Officer and an alternative action process undertaken.

This holds the youth to account for what they have done, while keeping them out of court. The next level of offending will be dealt with through a Family Group Conference with Oranga Tamariki and even more serious offending will go to Youth Court. Apprehension by police can help

redirect a teenager away from a pattern of continued offending. If you see youth behaving suspiciously - going into private commercial carparks, an assault in progress or concealment of items in store, ring 111.

My second focus is gangs. Being next to State Highway 1, Cambridge is on the through route for interregional North Island gang travel. This travel is often closely linked to the manufacture and distribution of drugs.

The more information police have around gang movements and the manufacture and sale of illicit drugs, the more effectively it can be addressed. If a house in your neighbourhood is being frequented by gang members, let us know. Any information on car or motorcycle registrations, gang patches or gang insignia clothing worn - and those wearing them - is useful.

Houses selling drugs usually receive a high volume of visitors, staying for only short periods of time. Sometimes these visitors will go to a particular door or window of the house; sometimes an occupant of the house will come out and make a drug exchange at the car window.

You may notice a pattern to the visitations or people taking large bags into or out of the house.

There may be a signal evident when these sales are made – perhaps a particular light is left on outside, or an item put up on a windowsill. Drug houses will commonly have external CCTV systems. These indicators vary however depending on the house.

As with gangs, information on visiting vehicles and their occupants and the selling/ visitation patterns mentioned above, all help to paint the picture. So what do you do with this information? Phone Police on 105 or to report anonymously, either ring the Crimestoppers line on 0800 555 111 or submit the information at crimestoppers-nz. org . As I said in my previous columns, I also strongly recommend forming or joining a Neighbourhood Support Group thereby keeping in touch with your neighbours and the broader NSG network, to work together on preventing local crime - safercambridge. co.nz

Waipā District Council is commemorating Matariki with a new set of themed street flags.

The flag, designed by Te Awamutu Museum exhibitions coordinator Henriata Nicholas, features the star cluster with a tāniko overlay and the text ‘Matariki’.

Complaints

Three complaints about Waipā District Council were made to the Ombudsman this year, one in relation to the use of the macron in Waipā saying it was unlawful. A couple spokesperson said council took independent legal advice and was confident its adoption was lawful. The second complaint relates to road sealing issues while the Ombudsman decided not to investigate a third complaint about a Local Government Official Information Meeting Acts request.

the regional council was open to community-led initiatives so more local solutions – such as community transport or park and rides - could be crafted.

She asked whether there were any plans to expand rail links to Cambridge, Te Awamutu and Ōtorohanga.

Tamura said that would involve upgrading the infrastructure and was something the council was keeping an eye on. It did plan to advocate for rail track improvements between Auckland, Hamilton and Tauranga.

He said Ruapehu District Council was championing a revamped passenger train service between Palmerston North and Hamilton to support the two interregional services – Te Huia between Auckland and Hamilton and The Capital Connection between Palmerston North and Wellington.

Bean there – doing that

Two mobile baristas are using their coffee-making skills from quite different platforms.

Miriam Ellis parks her custom-made cycle coffee cart in Payne Park outside Resthaven in Cambridge while Te Awamutu’s Rebecca Petch plies her trade from inside a renovated caravan in the old Bunnings building carpark not far away.

Waipā District Council allocated Ellis the space for her Cycle Coffee Company cart alongside the Hamilton Road Cycleway.

“I guess they figured it was appropriate to have me by the cycleway,” said Ellis, who was previously a learning assistant and university lecturer before a mountain bike accident in November 2020 left her with a brain injury.

She and son Sidney moved to Cambridge last year and Ellis considered what next. She has a lifetime love of coffee so decided to retrain and did a barista ticket at Wintec setting up last year at the western entrance to Cambridge where cyclists, Resthaven residents and passing motorists have come to look forward to her pithy blackboard statements.

Like last week’s “Tough times don’t last, tough people do!” which sums up Ellis’s ongoing recovery.

Meanwhile Petch, who was selected in the New Zealand Commonwealth Games cycling team last week, is

The cyclist has the help of her best friend, fellow New Zealand BMXer Baylee Luttrell. Both are from Te Awamutu.

“I love making coffee and everything that comes with it, so I thought ‘why not do something I enjoy’. Long story short, Little Petchy was born,” said Petch.

Little Petchy is a 1961 Gypsy caravan she bought in Ōtorohanga, gutted back to its bones and renovated it to become a mobile coffee place.

The renovation included installing a rimu bench so when she is hired to provide coffees at weddings, Little

Petchy looks the part.

Petch was selected for the Tokyo Olympic Games last year, edging out her training partner Cambridge rider, and former silver medallist Sarah Walker, for the sole spot.

Injury free for most of her career, Petch crashed in her first race, sustaining a shoulder injury – though she refused to blame it for being unable to qualify for the final.

Now she wants to give the Olympics another try but first there is the women’s team sprint competition at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham next month.

Ellis and Petch have both touched base and swapped barista stories.

Mylchreest given backing

By Mary Anne Gill

Another Waipā District councillor has ruled out a tilt at the mayoralty but has confirmed he will stand for council.

Roger Gordon, who is in his first term on the council after a stint on the Cambridge Community Board, is backing incumbent Jim Mylchreest for a fourth term as mayor.

Mylchreest revealed exclusively to The News in August he would stand again despite a health scare. He had a stroke earlier last year and spent a night in Waikato Hospital’s stroke unit.

“I believe Jim is the best person to lead us through for the next immediate period with so many reforms being proposed,” Gordon said. “His belief in localism in local Government and accountability is good for Waipā and Cambridge.

“His wide level of knowledge on governance and local government operations is essential going forward.”

Gordon is the second councillor in a month to back Mylchreest. Hazel Barnes said Mylchreest is honest, knows everybody and is very fair.

Gordon said he had “a lot of unfinished business”, a reference to his concerns about the long-term vision for public transport in Cambridge and need for a third bridge.

He also cited uncertainty about the Three Waters, Resource Management Act and Local Government reforms for wanting another term.

The News has made extensive enquiries about other possible mayoral candidates.

Mylchreest was unopposed at the last election and thus far no other candidates have come forward.

Council told of five risks

The Cambridge Volunteer Fire Brigade’s new chief fire officer Dennis Hunt is promising a tenure that honours the work done by his predecessor Don Gerrand while acknowledging a need to bring the brigade into the future.

After navigating his way through the formal application channels, Dennis received an official letter on June 2 elevating him to the rank of chief fire officer. By then, he had been in the brigade for almost 35 years and deputy fire chief for two years. He said last week that the circumstances around the changeover were not as either of them would have wished.

Don Gerrand died on May 2.

“For the last couple of years he had been saying he was grooming me to take over, but it happened before either of us expected,” he said.

The new chief has lived and worked in Cambridge all his life and knows the value of the brigade and its crew to the town.

November will mark Dennis’ 35th year with the brigade. “It was a case of being at the right place at the right time when I joined. Someone I knew suggested it and I quickly put my letter in for the next intake.

Right from the start I loved it. I was the third of three to be accepted, and the only one still here.”

There has been a recent surge in enquiries from people wanting to join, he said, and he is in the process of taking some of them through their paces before any commitment is called for. “There are 10 in all keen to come on board… we haven’t seen anything like that for a very long time.”

Waipā council has identified five “very high” risks to its operations and 14 risks in total.

In her report to the council’s Audit and Risk committee this week, risk advisor Genny Wilson listed inadequate staffing, failure to respond to Covid 19 impact, risk to financial sustainability, failure to prepare for climate change impacts and Three Waters reform as very high risks.

The committee meeting was not live-streamed.

A request from The News to be present via Skype or Teams was declined.

The independently owned News is the only media which consistently covers Waipā council meetings.

Wilson’s report was for the quarter to April while the risks were those present early last month.

She said the executive had moved to lessen the staffing risk by introducing a new flexible working policy. This includes a hybrid working model where staff could work a blend of onsite and remotely Covid 19 continues to be a risk to achieving the Long Term Plan goals. Managing that response continues to divert resources from other work, her report said.

A risk trending upwards is the failure to realise asset sales, a vital component to the success of the council’s Long Term Plan projects.

The council was told the property market’s uncertainty make the risk an issue and likely to have negative impacts on the council’s reputation and community wellbeing.

They would include a delay in implementing the council’s digital programme because of supply chain delays and hold ups to Flourish, the first district-wide Waipā Community Spatial Plan.

The plan will be a blueprint for the district for the next 30 years.

By Mary Anne Gill

Newly-minted chief fire officer Dennis Hunt.

Part of that early process is familiarising hopefuls of the changes to the brigade’s activities over the years, and of what will be asked of them. Larger fire calls have dropped off, as have the bigger road crashes.

They have always been called to emergencies and done their share of helping cut people from crashed vehicles, but it is only in recent years that more emphasis has fallen on medical incidents.

Firefighters now train in CPR and other emergency measures through St John and attend medical callouts alongside the ambulance service when cardiac arrest is suspected, sometimes arriving on the scene first.

Their focus is on the CPR side while the

St John crew deal with whatever other medical issues might present. Increases have also been noted in weather-related callouts, downed trees or power lines, and this year particularly, in structure burns such as those in shed, barns and the like.

“As the town grows, so do the number of those incidents,” said Dennis, who with the support of his wife Trish and his workplace, Van Dyks Flooring, intends to put his own mark on the brigade as his tenure unfolds.

“I will probably bring it more into the modern world. Don was old school, he didn’t like doing social media … there will be some changes,” he said. “I know I’ve got really big boots to fill, but I’m going to give it one hell of a shot.”

THURSDAY JUNE 16, 2022

BY CAROLE HUGHES

CAMBRIDGE BEFORE THE FIRE BRIGADE One hot evening in February 1879, fifty to sixty people crowded into the Cambridge Public Hall for a meeting to form a Fire Brigade.

No-one disagreed with Chairman Thomas Wells when he said that with wooden buildings and little or no water, the destruction to property could be enormous in the event of fire. “This is especially true in Duke Street”, he added.

Wells had a general store in Duke Street, and was as eager as anyone to have his property safeguarded.

But Cambridge didn’t have a water supply, and a Fire Brigade couldn’t operate without one.

Between 1881 and 1882, at least seven fires were recorded in Cambridge.

People whispered about the presence of a “fire maniac”.

In March 1882, the community funded the appointment of Charles Hassett as a night watchman to keep a look-out for fires. Armed with his stick, Hassett was soon a familiar sight to drunken bar patrons stumbling home late at night. But Hassett was often seen drinking when he was supposed to be on duty. He was twice assaulted: once

After that, I paid a visit to Dennis Hunt at the Cambridge Fire Station in Duke Street. That day, Dennis had just been appointed Chief Fire Officer. He follows in the footsteps of Don Gerrand who died suddenly a few weeks ago. Dennis’s admiration and respect for his friend and colleague is reflected in everything

The present fire station in Duke Street is immaculate. The towering fire engines are spotless, shiny and ready to go. I was shown four vehicles, one more in the wings.

This building was Don’s big project and eventually was built on the site of the old fire station. The twenty firefighters are all volunteers. There are currently 10 more considering joining the team.

All are men at the present time and range from 17 years old. A change may be coming soon with a woman entry.

“There was a huge interest following Don’s death, people became more aware of the respect and dedication of our members,” Dennis told me.

Training is stringent. Trainee fire fighters have a two-day medical course. Dealing

with heart problems and other medical emergencies is often part of attending a fire. Dennis talks of calls to accidents, cutting people out of cars, a lot of structural fires, rats gnawing through wires, and calls to other towns where more assistance is needed.

He also reflected on the fact that Don and Jocelyn’s immediate family is still very involved in the fire brigade: his son Richie and grandsons Case and Levi are currently volunteer fire fighters.

Yes, I’m extremely impressed with our Cambridge firefighters. Their dedication is beyond reproach. And I hear that as soon as there is a better replacement for the public siren, this team of 20 will look at it. But it has to be pretty good!

After the Duke Street Fire 1889, Cambridge Museum 2958/9/37 by a bouncer who threw him out of the National Hotel; and once by a resident who called Hassett an “old loafer” for drinking on the job. We don’t know if Hassett left or was relieved of his post.

He was certainly gone by March 1885, when the community requested another night watchman.

In the meantime the fires continued, culminating in the early morning of 9 March 1889, when Duke Street residents

THE KEEPERS OF THE TOWN Recently, I was at a restaurant in town when their fire alarm went off. We dutifully trudged outside and waited for the Cambridge Fire Brigade. They came – immaculate in their operation uniforms and in their shiny fire engine.

Impressive? Oh yes!

were awoken by shouts from two men who had seen the reflection of fire in the sky. The blaze had started in Bates’ Saddlery, and the Bates family were lucky to escape with their lives. The school bell was rung as an alarm. The south side of Duke Street East was an inferno, and residents rushed to the scene to do all they could to rescue goods and stock. No lives were lost but the aftermath showed a sorry site.

The south side of Duke Street East was now a smouldering mass of ruins, with chimneys jutting from the ground like charred tree trunks.

So when a water tower was built so that water from Moon Creek could be pumped to the tank for a town water supply, the people of Cambridge rejoiced. Funds for a Fire Brigade were quickly raised, a station erected in Duke Street, and a large hose reel produced by local blacksmith John Ferguson.

Hydrants and 800 feet of hose were procured.

The opening of the Fire Brigade on 24 August 1904 was a proud moment for all. Speeches, applause and cheers were given before the firemen gave an exhibition of hose and reel work. “The men have only had the reel a couple of days and have had little or no practice.

In time, they will no doubt give a creditable account of themselves” the Waikato Times reported.

It was Mayor Thomas Wells who officiated at the opening. When he had chaired the meeting to form a fire brigade back in 1879, little did he know it would take 25 years to eventuate.

An exhibition on the days before the Fire Brigade is currently on display at the Cambridge Museum.

Nursing colleagues honoured

By Mary Anne Gill

Two Cambridge nursing leaders have been appointed honorary professors at Waikato University’s Te Huataki Waiora School of Health.

Jan Adams and Sue Hayward have both been nurses and midwives for more than 45 years and had influential advisory roles when the university established its Bachelor of Nursing programme two years ago.

Nursing sits as one of three programme streams in Te Huataki Waiora. The others are health and health, sport and human performance.

Adams and Hayward worked together at Waikato District Health Board (DHB).

Hayward took over as director of Nursing and Midwifery in 2008 when Adams became chief operating officer and remains there today.

Adams left the DHB in 2015 to become managing director and global chief nurse for Bupa Villages and Aged Care (Australia and New Zealand) and in October 2019 became nursing director at Pinnacle Midlands Health Network.

It is in those nurse leader roles both women, who retain their nursing practice certificates, got involved with Waikato University’s new Bachelor of Nursing

programme.

As part of the Nursing Advisory Board, they advocated strongly on behalf of a programme with a focus on equity, well-being and Māori and Pacific health.

Hayward was involved from 2019 when the DHB and the university announced the partnership in response to a shortage of qualified nurses.

She helped develop the programme, putting an emphasis on the need for more clinical experience during the study years.

“I wanted to ensure we had a future nursing workforce that is going to be nimble, responsive to health priorities and supportive of individuals to achieve better health outcomes.”

Acting dean Jo Lane,

who lives in Matangi, said Hayward was made the first honorary professor last year in acknowledgement of her “significant and ongoing contribution” to the programme’s success.

Waikato University’s nursing programmes are unique in how the university listened to key stakeholders about the need for good hands-on skills, he said.

Waikato nursing programmes have high placement hours in the community and in hospitals and have the added opportunities for students to specialise in mental health and addictions.

Adams’ appointment was announced last month and was in recognition of her involvement in the programme where she advocated on behalf of primary care nursing.

“The demand for qualified nurses to work in primary and community settings is huge, and in my opinion the nursing education on offer at the time didn’t give it enough focus,” said Adams.

“We went out to practices and asked about the skills they wanted nursing graduates to have, and how they could be better prepared for a career in primary care.”

Adams was born in the United Kingdom and started her nursing training in 1973 going on to become one of the youngest assistant matrons in England. She and her family moved to New Zealand in 1992 when Adams was appointed principal nurse manager at Whanganui’s Southern Cross Hospital.

Four years later they moved to Cambridge when Adams became director of Nursing at Waikato DHB. Hayward, originally from Dunedin, became a staff nurse in 1977 and went on to head up the Neonatal units at Northland Base and Christchurch Women’s hospitals and became director of Nursing Services for Canterbury DHB. She and her husband moved to Cambridge 14 years ago when she joined Waikato DHB. Both women are keen e-cyclists and say they enjoy the relaxed lifestyle in Cambridge.

New home for plaque

A plaque that once carried the hopes of people who threw coins into a wishing well in Cambridge has been restored and given a new home.

The plaque, which carries the engraved message ‘A coin or two, a wish from you needs but faith to bring it true’, was recently fixed to a large rock in the children’s playground in Thornton Rd. It marked a new lease on life for the plaque, which in 1959/60 had been purchased and attached by the Rotary Club of Cambridge to the town’s wishing well. Many years later, when the Waipā District Council deconstructed the well to make way for a playground upgrade, the plaque was removed and placed into council offices for safekeeping.

Bronwyn Byers, who heads the Cambridge Rotary Club’s international committee, worked together with council staffer Asa Perrson to bring the plaque out of storage and give it a new home.

It was attached to the rock at the playground several weeks ago.

“Between us, we wanted to find another way the plaque could be seen once again,” Bronwyn said, “and without Asa’s help, it wouldn’t have happened. The Rotary Club is very grateful to her.”

The restored Rotary Club plaque now installed in the Thornton Rd Playground.

NO PLANET B

AGE OF REASON

Burning ambitions

It really is a wrap…

By Peter Carr

By Peter Matthews

I’ve been writing this column for three years now and have enjoyed every minute of it. I sit in my office, at home or at work, and bash out five hundred words (and pedantically enjoy hitting the target exactly), usually within hours of the weekly deadline.

It might sound like an odd thought but it’s easy to forget, week to week, that my efforts are published in the paper. It has been especially rewarding to hear from people I meet that they actually read it.

But, for a couple of reasons, I have decided to take a break - for a while.

Firstly, work has been getting progressively busier; can’t complain about that but I do find it increasingly difficult to find the time to give this column the attention and care it deserves.

Secondly, my (self-assigned) brief has been environmental issues, and I have reached a point where I feel I have said as much as I can on the subject. Climate change and the welfare of the planet’s ecosystems, whilst of paramount importance, seem to be the big issue that nobody really cares about. Perhaps it’s not that nobody cares but there does seem to be a general mood of resignation: “It’s happening and there’s not a lot I personally can do about it”.

I have said, on more than one occasion, that I think changes need to come from governments and leaders of commerce.

Of course, those are the very people who are least likely to make a genuine effort, being reliant as they are for their existence, on short term public approval and annual balance sheets.

Meanwhile the scientists do what they can. They conduct their research and publish dire warnings at regular intervals which

I’m afraid do little more than induce “Headline Fatigue” in the wider population, and they come up with many and varied ways of using technology to attempt to solve the problems. The latter, unfortunately, gives the powers that be an excuse to prevaricate in the hope that the scientists may be able to provide a silver bullet.

I have veered off course at times: In particular my accounts of the trials of living with teenagers have met with some approval. I have also tackled some existential considerations which is an area I’m keen to explore further.

I should like to return to these pages, if you’ll have me, at some point in the future, but I think I will allow myself a wider brief; I have no wish to antagonise any sectors of the community but there are many subjects which could well do with some sensible and open discussion: Social media, comedy, writing, public opinion, celebrity behaviour, families, offence-taking, modern sensibilities, morals, and cultural expectations in an increasingly globalised society being just a few.

I’d like to thank each and every person PLANET who has readONLY my words, whether you have agreed or approved or not. Also those who have taken the time to write to the editor in response.

Au revoir.

The howling wind and rain over the latter part of the weekend brought back memories for me of my first visit to this lovely country 60 years ago this month.

As a young deck officer with the Shaw Savill Line, I had been appointed to one of their cargo ships joining in Liverpool.

We came out through Panama in ballast ready to load the traditional mix of cargoes that demanded freezing (lamb, butter and mutton), chilling (cheese) and ‘dry’ freight (wool mainly).

It was a most enlightening journey for me having spent the previous four years on ships that had a strong Middle East content in their journeys.

First port was Auckland, then New Plymouth, Wellington and eventually Bluff. It was my first chance to peruse Kiwi newspapers which appeared almost basic compared to the depth of journalism in Europe.

Advertisements for social gatherings insisted ‘Ladies a Plate’ which I found incongruous. And an inner-city public transport service that was thin to say the least both in quantum and route coverage.

But back to Bluff. We arrived off the entrance to the harbour in a strong westerly gale. Wind-fed spume-laden angry waves lashed the area between Bluff and Stewart Island. We spent three days slow steaming to and from Dog Island as anchoring could not have been suitable.

Eventually we were permitted to enter and spent a week topping up the holds mainly with good Southland lamb.

As the wharfies only worked during daylight in those days we were generally free to walk ashore in the evening to sample

the mid-winter delights of this southern paradise.

While very basic, pubs remained a major element of the social offerings but there was scant evidence of the reality of culinary delights.

There was one notable exception.

The local pie cart, painted white, and situated in one of the side streets, was locally known as ‘Greasy Gordons’. Our three cadets were given permission to go ashore by the duty officer – me.

Around 9pm a grey police car parked at the bottom of the gangway and up bounded a puffing and red-faced sergeant seeking the duty officer.

I duly presented myself and was harangued for some time about the alleged actions of the three cadets.

They had found Gordon and his cart and asked for fish and chips, a normal fare for residents of Bluff. Seeing him put his hand into a greasy drawer, pull out already cooked and cold chips and throw them back into the bubbling fat they demanded ‘fresh’ fare.

Gordon took great and voluble exception to the slur on his cooking skills, so they departed – firstly though attempting to set fire to his tractor that was attached to the front of the cart.

I managed to appease the sergeant, sent the miscreants up the road to apologise to Gordon and all was well again.

It has been interesting to see the dizzy commercial and professional heights those pyrotechnic practitioners have risen to in later life.

Sometimes the exuberance of youth is merely letting off much bottled-up steam that requires, hopefully harmless, release.

Vosper Law

local, is spread from Northland to Southland.

A trusted and well-known name in the Cambridge community, Vosper Law is one of the town’s longest established general law practices. Having commenced work as a barrister and solicitor in Cambridge in 1979, director Amanda Vosper has acted for numerous clients over the years, and she remains as passionate about law today as she did when she first started out.

Most people at some time of their life need the services of a lawyer. It’s important to choose a trained legal professional who can understand your circumstances, guide you through the legal process, and work to obtain the best possible outcome for you.

This is where Vosper Law shines.

“It’s a very satisfying profession,” says Amanda.

Recently appointed as an Associate at Vosper Law, Dale Houghton works hard to achieve best outcomes for her clients. She provides assistance across a wide variety of legal services and has garnered a strong reputation for her high standard of customer service.

Dale enjoys assisting her clients to achieve the best outcomes for them.

The loyalty of her clients is such that she now acts for a third generation of families.

Her satisfaction is derived from helping families through their legal matters and assisting clients to achieve their goals, whether it’s a first-home, investment or a big farm purchase. She has a wide range of knowledge and expertise as a general practitioner and enjoys all aspects of the law.

Director Vernon Woodhams joined the firm as a staff solicitor in January 2011. Born and raised locally, the father of three is actively involved in the Cambridge community.

Vosper Law places a very strong emphasis on team culture. The firm is staffed by a team of accomplished

and dedicated solicitors and legal executives with over 130 years collective experience working with families, businesses, community groups and individuals from all walks of life. Vosper Law also has dedicated secretarial and administration support staff. Many are long-term employees whose years in the law practice and their

interaction with clients are an asset to the firm. Clients appreciate the support of this friendly, closely knit team whose goal is to provide excellent legal services in a timely manner.

Vosper Law offers legal services across a wide range of practice areas and the firm’s broad client base, while largely

Dale’s legal career began after she left school and worked for a law firm. Three children on and in her early thirties, she decided to advance her career and embarked on law studies at the University of Waikato. She juggled part-time work with part-time study, all the while raising her three children. But the hard work paid off.

After being admitted to the

bar in November 2015, Dale worked as Judges’ Clerk at the Hamilton District Court.

This appointment honed her skills in legal research which she was then able to put into practise when she joined a general practice firm in Matamata.

As commuting to and from Cambridge to Matamata for work wasn’t ideal, Dale sought a position locally. She joined Vosper Law in 2020 and instantly clicked with directors, Amanda Vosper and Vernon Woodhams. She started one week into lockdown, which meant her first meeting with her colleagues was on Zoom.

Dale thrives on the variety of work that a general practice firm offers and has a particular interest in the various aspects of family law. She enjoys developing warm yet professional relationships with her clients. Dale appreciates Vosper Law’s friendly team culture as well as living and working, in her local community.

OBITUARY – ROY GOWER: 14.7.1934 – 31.5.2022

Hard worker takes his rest

By Viv Posselt

Roy Gower did many things during his well-lived 87 years. He had been a truck driver, real estate agent, hotel owner, station hand, historian and farmer.

But the eulogies at his June 4 farewell service in Cambridge spoke to the man himself. He was known as a patient, hardworking ‘gentleman’ who loved family, rugby and reading, and who never had a bad word to say about anyone. He was always up for a cup of tea and a chat, never swore and, no matter the pressure he was under, just got on with the job at hand.

Roy and his wife Bev were admired for their tough work ethic and just plain ‘niceness’.

Whether it was during their farming years or the nine years the couple breathed new life into Sarnia Park (now Henley Hotel), the ‘to do’ list was always long and family help plentiful.

Of the many accolades heard at his farewell, some of the warmest came from his grandchildren.

They clustered together to share the mettle of the man who, said one of them, never did figure out how to hold a grudge. Stories spilled out of childhood antics likely to test anyone’s patience, yet Roy never lost his.

He was a man who led by example, who was particular about how he liked his tea, always had Jaffas or Oddfellows stashed in his ute’s glovebox, and always supported his youngsters’ activities.

A nephew who felt more like a son told of the importance of putting more butter on toast than anything else. Roy taught him that … along with how to do wheelies in a tractor.

Roy was born in Pukekohe in 1934. The

family later farmed in Pukehina then moved to the Waikato where Roy attended Hamilton Technical High School before doing his compulsory military training at Waiouru. He later moved to the South Island, working in a wool-store on a sheep station and then doing a spell of truck driving.

It was on a trip to New Plymouth that he met young bank teller Beverley Thompson.

Their daughter Suzanne said Bev realised he was the man for her when he lent her his car which she drove around with the handbrake on, and Roy didn’t complain. After marrying in 1960, the young couple followed the family farming tradition, purchasing their first farm in 1967, 40.4 hectares in Wharepapa South and enjoying an active community life.

In 1979, they moved to a dairy farm at Te Miro. Long-time friend and Te Miro neighbour, Wallace Hall, said Roy’s farm improved immensely under his management… it always looked immaculate.

Roy added estate agent to his resume for a few years when the couple moved to Hamilton in 1992 but returned to farming in Tamahere and Bay of Plenty.

Then came the Sarnia Park years, with the Gowers purchasing the estate in early 2008, just before the global financial crisis hit.

“We had it for nine years,” Bev said. “It was hard work but we had a very loyal following.

The children worked with us and the staff were wonderful… there were approximately 250 weddings there in the nine years we had it.”

The couple sold Sarnia Park in 2017 to settle into a quieter, urban life in Cambridge.

Winter – and summer Board announced

By Mary Anne Gill

Thanks for the support: Kate Rees-Gibbs with her former pupil Summer Mudford, who had just finished a hot chocolate, after the 5km run/walk.

By Mary Anne Gill

The Cambridge primary school teacher who was one of the first people to see a change in Batten Disease sufferer Summer Mudford, participated in a 5km awareness run in appalling winter weather conditions on Saturday.

Kate Rees-Gibbs received a warm welcome and a hug from eight-year-old Summer at the finish line near the Velodrome. Not far behind her was Summer’s mother Vanessa.

The News revealed last week that Summer

is the only child in New Zealand with her type of Batten Disease, a fatal inherited disorder of the nervous system.

The Mudfords embarked on a three-day awareness campaign of the disease kicking it off on International Batten Disease Day, Thursday June 9.

Despite driving rain and wind, about 20 people took part in the awareness run.

A givealittle page called Hope for Summer, which hopes to raise money to go towards supplements and medicines, had raised $940 by the end of the weekend.

Five Cambridge residents have been named on the establishment board for the town’s new primary school.

Hinerangi Kara, Susan Duignan, Dianne Pacey, Michelle Skipworth and Paul Matthews will have support from governance facilitator Shawn Gielen. Their work is voluntary.

Ministry of Education Operations and Integration hautū (leader) Sean Teddy said design work for the school at 1881 Cambridge Road had begun.

The school, provisionally named Cambridge West, is expected to open for the 2024 year and will initially provide up to 300 places for year one to six students.

There is capacity to expand the roll to 850.

Kara has been appointed to the board as the iwi representative for Ngāti Koroki Kahukura, for which she is a trustee. She has spent her career in the education sector and works at Waikato University.

Duignan is a leadership consultant and coach who has worked for Hamilton city and Waikato district councils and collaborated with iwi in joint projects.

Pacey has a wide and varied educational background, having been a teacher, dean, and deputy principal in primary, middle, and secondary schools.

Skipworth’s background is in human resource management and industrial relations with Fonterra.

Matthews is a former St John’s College, Hamilton principal with significant knowledge and experience in the wider education sector. Three years ago, he was appointed statutory manager at Ōtorōhanga College.

One of the primary tasks of the

Hinerangi Kara

establishment board is to develop a vision for the school.

Weekly meetings have already begun and will continue until a principal is appointed or construction has finished.

Education minister Chris Hipkins announced the establishment of the new school in August last year.

“The recent consultation, with iwi, other schools and the local community, shows there’s strong support for a new school to manage the demands of a growing population,” he said.

Money for the project came in the 2021 Budget when the government allocated $428.1 million of capital funding for new schools.

ENHANCES MOBILITY The trailblazing team at Focused Physiotherapy in Cambridge should be a first port of call for anyone seeking to optimise their levels of mobility and physical function.

The practice opened last year at the Cambridge Rd medical centre in Cambridge, led by owner/ physiotherapist Kara Thomas.

Since then, it has offered locals an extensive range of services linked to the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of a range of musculoskeletal conditions including joint or lower back pain, neck pain, muscle sprain, sports injuries, upper and lower limb problems, nerve pain and postsurgery rehabilitation. They also offer hydrotherapy, and deal with child and adolescent conditions and injuries, and work-related pain issues.

to specialists or send them for an X-ray or Ultrasound if needed.

Kara says having a high level of neurological support on a patient’s doorstep right from the onset means that patients with those conditions are better able to manage their own physiotherapy.

Theirs is a modern, tailor-made approach to streamlining injury prevention and rehabilitation.

Through their proficient gathering and interpretation of information, the physiotherapists can optimise treatment in order to improve each patient’s mobility and help them get the most out of life.

Through careful one-on-one assessments, the team at Focused Physiotherapy can put a wraparound management plan in place for all its services, whether clinicbased, home visits or when making use of community facilities such as the hydro-pool at Cambridge swimming pools.

Last year, Kara added a neurological clinic to its suite of services. It was a move she made in response to what she saw as an important need in the community and means that those seeking support for a range of neurological conditions, such

What should monetary policy be targeting?

The National Party has announced it would return to having price stability as the single target of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand’s monetary policy. The Labour Government, supported by the New Zealand Treasury, altered the Reserve Bank’s targets in 2018 to both inflation and ‘maximum sustainable employment’.

Two major changes were introduced for our monetary policy in the late 1980s. Policy began to be focused on price stability rather than the previous multiple targets. The target definition and level were decided by the Government and specified in a contract between the Minister of Finance and the Governor.

The Reserve Bank was given operational independence to implement monetary policy to achieve this goal. New Zealand wasn’t the first country to adopt a single price stability target – the German Bundesbank was already doing it. But New Zealand was the first country to put this approach into its Central Bank Law. Over the next decade, most other countries followed, and it remained the main global approach to monetary policy for the next 20 years. This also happens to

By Peter Nicholl

have been a 20-year period when global inflation fell to a low level – and stayed there.

Monetary policy can’t claim all the credit for this favourable inflation outcome. Some say it was mainly due to technological change and the emergence of China as a manufacturer and exporter of almost everything.

This approach was also a recognition

by Central Banks that they weren’t the masters of everything – they didn’t have the policy tools to achieve most of the other policy goals. In the last decade they forgot this important lesson and again started thinking that they could cure every economic problem. The first changes were in reaction to the global financial crisis. Dealing with this crisis was given priority over containing inflation.

Most Central Banks created enormous amounts of liquidity and drastically lowered their policy interest rates. Recent changes have been in response to a fear of recessions appearing. Central Banks lowered their policy interest rates even further into unprecedented territory.

Over the last two years, inflation has re-emerged and the dilemma has been revealed for all to see. Interest rate

levels are too low to contain inflation but raising them quickly will cause another financial stability crisis.

The National Party proposal to return monetary policy settings to the way they were through the 20-year period of low inflation would be a good thing. Both inflation and ‘maximum sustainable employment’ are above the Reserve Bank targets. That hasn’t always been the case and won’t always be the case in the future. It is when the two targets diverge that the single focus becomes relevant.

With dual targets, the Reserve Bank has to choose between inflation and employment. This choice is a political one.

If there was a single price stability target but the Government wanted monetary policy to put less pressure on employment, the appropriate mechanism is for the inflation target specified in the contract between the Minister and the Governor to be eased.

Everyone could then see what the trade-off is and that it had been made by the Government. It should not be being made by a Reserve Bank’s Monetary Policy Committee.

“Sticks and stones can break your bones but words will never hurt you”.

It’s an old saying that’s patently wrong.

Adults I know still smart from wounds created by throwaway words levelled at them in childhood.

Words can build up or they can crush, wound and demolish.

Cruel thoughtless words, like barbs, can affect the very course and direction of a person’s life.

Two men had shared a friendship for many years.

That changed one day when one of the men inexplicably chose to share a rumour about his friend with others. Without any conferral or effort to ascertain the accuracy of the information, those people also in turn, chose to share the disclosure with others.

And thus a ‘story’ snowballed.

As it turned out the rumour was groundless gossip that had no substance or basis. That simple fact became engulfed by the appetite that existed for receiving and then passing on the be-smirching words.

Many years scrolled by as the former friends became remote - that distance increasing with the passage of time.

The friend who had spoken the damaging words one day heard his friend was unwell and was not expected to live very much longer. Feeling pricked in his heart that he needed to make contact, this man wrestled with the thought of going to seek forgiveness while he could.

Eventually he did just that. He entered the room where his “old friend” lay and proceeded to express deep regret over passing on words that he had never checked the truth of.

He humbled himself, asking for forgiveness for what he had done those many years previously.

The bed ridden man was gracious in receiving his visitor kneeling beside him.

“Yes, I forgive you and release you from the guilt of what you did,” he said, “but there is something I would ask you to do for me.”

The visitor stated he was willing to comply with any request that might be forthcoming.

“Take my pillow and shake it outside until it is emptied of its contents,” came the response.

Although puzzled, the contrite man took the goose-feather pillow and did as requested, returning with an empty pillow slip. His friend then asked a strange thing…

“Please take the pillow case and gather up every feather that you just emptied outside.”

The visitor responded with a sense of despair saying that by now the feathers would be scattered by the wind in every direction and to collect each of them up would, of course be impossible.

The bedridden man gently said, “I freely and fully forgive you for what you released by way of careless words those years ago.. but understand, just as the goose feathers cannot be collected up, neither can my forgiveness gather up nor undo the harm of your words that spread abroad.”

The word “think” provides a useful acronym that serves as a handbrake in checking our words. Is what I say true? Is it helpful? Is it inspiring? Is it necessary?”

Lastly, is it kind?

Teen’s Olympic dream

By Steph Bell-Jenkins

It’s a jungle out there in the competitive swimming world, but Cambridge’s own ‘Tarzan’ is up for the challenge.

At just 14, Cambridge High School year 9 student Corné Diener is nearly two metres and built like an action hero.

“The girls at school tell him: Corné, lift up your shirt so we can see your muscles,” his mother Chantal chuckled.

Coach Graeme Laing calls Corné ‘Tarzan’ because of his physical similarities to American swimmer Johnny Weissmuller, who won five Olympic gold medals in the 1920s and went on to play Tarzan in a series of 12 feature films.

Graeme has coached Olympians and is the son of the late Duncan Laing, whose star pupil Danyon Loader won two gold medals in the Atlanta Olympic Games in 1996.

Now coaching at Matamata Swimming Club, he believes his teenage pupil has a genuine shot at achieving his dream of representing New Zealand at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.

“He’s got the right build for it and if he kept his mind on it I think he could,” he said.

Corné was born in South Africa and moved to New Zealand with his family when he was two.

Chantal said her son, who is “pretty laid back”, showed very little interest in competitive sport until she signed him up for swimming lessons at St Peter’s School when he was 10.

“I just saw this kid excelling and I thought jeepers, maybe he’s got a shot at this; maybe this is his sport,” she said.

“So I just try and support him as best I can. I try and feed him properly and make sure I get him to all the practices and if he can take me to Paris that’ll be great. He’s my ticket

Corné Diener.

to see the world. So let’s see if that happens.”

So far the teenager’s commitment and dedication is paying off.

Corné exploded onto the Cambridge High School swimming scene this summer, breaking records in all five events he entered.

In April he contracted Covid shortly before competing at the National Age Group Championships in Wellington, but he managed

to come home with a bronze medal in his favourite event, 50m butterfly.

“I was super happy,” he said.

“And I now know how fast my competitors are and how hard I need to work for next year to place. It’s a lot harder than what I’ve been doing.”

Corné also shone at the Waikato Secondary Schools Swimming Championships in Hamilton recently, winning gold in the 50m and 100m butterfly and 50m freestyle events and setting three more records.

He has his sights set on breaking the national age group 50m butterfly record at the 2022 New Zealand Short Course Championships in August.

It’s hard work, involving about eight 90-minute training sessions a week.

“It takes a lot of discipline and motivation to get up and go swimming, but I love it,” he said.

Honour for Linda Ngā Roto flooded

By Viv Posselt

Linda Roil, who founded Kids in Need Waikato and has helped brighten the lives of thousands of youngsters in care, has been presented with a Cambridge Community Board Community Service Award.

In presenting the award before the June meeting, deputy chairperson Jo Davies-Colley said it was important to honour Linda as one of the community’s ‘outstanding’ individuals.

“She has made a real difference in the lives of children and caregivers in our town. This year alone, Kids in Need has put together 578 care packs for people in our community.

We are very grateful to her… Linda is one of the outstanding members of our community.”

The surprised recipient, who mused aloud on how her husband Graeme had succeeded in keeping the award a secret until the presentation itself, said she was very humbled to have received it.

“Thank you so much for this … it is a real honour,” Linda said to family and board members present. “I am lucky to have a great team now, which allows me

Linda Roil, pictured with husband Graeme, received her Community Service Award from Jo Davies-Collier.

to step back a bit and enjoy the family.”

Linda and Graeme Roil began fostering children in 2014. Concerned with the lack of support in place for both foster children and their caregivers, they set in motion a system that saw community donations turned into age-appropriate care-packs for youngsters in need. It included children in foster care, and for grandchildren being raised by their grandparents.

The project grew fast, and

in 2018 a charitable trust was established. Kids in Need Waikato now operates out of a purpose-built shed on the Roils’ property and answers a growing need in the community.

Kids in Need has been recognised before.

Several years ago, Linda was awarded $6000 from ASB after winning the ASB Good as Gold – Santa Edition Award, and in 2018 she was named the Cambridge News Person of the Year.

Heavy rain caused Lake Ngā Roto and its surroundings to flood.

By Benjamin Wilson

Heavy rainfall has warped the boardwalk that surrounds Lake Ngā Roto, resulting in a decision to close it.

The lake and its surrounding areas were flooded by a significant storm last weekend that triggered a severe weather warning. Parts of the lake’s gravel track were submerged by the flood, and its wooden boardwalk is now significantly angled and uneven.

Council staff inspected the lake’s track and boardwalk on Tuesday and deemed it to be unsafe.

They tried to install a temporary fence and signage on the same day, to advise visitors to turn back. Due to staffing issues, they were not able to complete this until Wednesday morning.

Because of the lake’s fluctuating water levels, there are permanent signs that encourages visitors to be careful when walking on its boardwalk, in the event it does become unstable.

Last weekend’s flood was the highest that council had seen in some time, The News was told. The council plans to reassess the boardwalk on Monday.

One innovation she is particularly passionate about is Enviroschools, a programme aimed at integrating environmental education into schools, which launched nationwide in 2001.

She’s also proud of the Education Review Office reports the kindergarten has received over the years.

“We’ve always had the highest level of review points and I can’t see it stopping,” she said.

Semi-retired teacher Dianne Gwynne described Carol as “a very caring, solid anchoring kind of person” who loved the children and community and had done “some wonderful eco-friendly stuff over the decades”.

Carol is now looking forward to semi-retirement.

“My garden beckons and my sewing machine beckons and I love to read, so I’m looking forward to having a bit more time to put to that and spending a bit more time with my husband and children and grandchildren,” she said.

Keeping things cozy this winter Wood pellet fires Regarded as the super-fire of the future, wood pellet fires are lighting up our world. Their near zero emissions make them a carbon-friendly choice. They burn efficiently, are practically smoke-free, and produce minimal amounts of ash thanks to a moisture content between 9-10 per cent. This means the pellets burn hot and

have less moisture to burn off before heat is produced.

Wood pellet fires are safe and easy to use, and everyone loves their warm, cosy ambience. They come with a thermostat and/or timer option which allows you to change the temperature and customise the heat setting to suit your needs. And you don’t have to leave your armchair –

Best of all, you can pat yourself on the back for choosing wood pellets that are made from residues or leftovers from the forestry and timber industries in New Zealand. Most of our major forests are FSC Certified, ensuring these valuable resources are managed in an environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial, and economically viable way. Unlike traditional fossil fuels such as coal, oil or gas, wood pellets are made from clean, untreated, compressed sawdust, once considered a waste product and sent to the landfill.

‘Tis the season to be jolly cold. It’s officially the time of the year for puffy jackets, knit scarves, thermals, and woolly gloves. While these are great for outside, wearing a bulky jacket and mittens indoors isn’t ideal even if you’re feeling the pinch and trying to keep your power

bill down. You could consider small changes to your choice of curtains or shades. As heavier, tightly woven fabrics act as a sturdier barrier against the cold air, you might like to swap your thinner summer curtains for something more heavy duty over the winter months.

Try a little DIY. Two curtains can be layered together to imitate the look and function of draperies, which are typically lined. Layered curtains act as a barrier between your room and the cold air from your windows. Securing your windows with winter-friendly curtains or shades is an effective way to prevent drafts from entering your home. To find the best choice for your family, reach out to a curtain professional, a commercial supplier or even your local op shop to choose your best options.

Get insulating to winter-proof your home Warmer, drier homes

homeowner (owner-occupier) and have a Community Services Card or CSC endorsed SuperGold combo card, or own and be living in a home in an area identified as lower-income and own a home that was built before 2008.

Keeping your family healthy this winter means keeping your home warm and dry. Cold and damp homes are linked to poor health, especially for babies and small children, people who are ill, and older people. New Zealand doesn’t have a good track record when it comes to international standards and meeting the World Health Organisations’ recommended minimum indoor temperature of 18°C but new healthy homes standards mean we’re improving and landlords are now legally required to insulate rental homes.

Cold houses are associated with indoor dampness and mould. Cold temperatures can worsen cardiovascular disease systems while indoor dampness and mould have been consistently linked to increased risk of respiratory systems. It’s important to have more warm rooms and more sleeping space spread out around your home, rather than crowding in the same room.

Overcrowding means germs are more likely to spread.

Insulation Properly insulating your home is one of the best ways to keep it warm and cosy and reduce energy consumption.

Insulation keeps hot and cold air consistent throughout your house, keeps it drier and less prone to mould.

It’s also one of the best ways to save money on your heating bill. The more insulation you have, the less heat escapes through poorly insulated areas, resulting in less energy consumption.

Grants cover up to 80 per cent of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation as well as 80 per cent off the cost of a heat pump.

Double glazing One of the benefits of double glazing is the reduction of heat loss from your home. Double glazing or secondary glazing can make a big difference to comfort levels, and most new houses and additions require double glazing to comply with the New Zealand Building Code.

efficiency. A rigid foam insulation product added to your exterior walls may protect your residence from harsh climate conditions and the damaging effects of undue moisture and incoming air currents. Attic and external wall insulation can also help reduce noise pollution, add value to your home and improve its marketability.

Insulation must be installed in accordance with New Zealand Standard 4246:2016 and all private rentals must comply with the Healthy Homes standards within 90 days of any new or renewed tenancy. Ceiling and underfloor insulation is compulsory in all rental homes, where it is reasonably practicable to install.

These days home insulation products are composed primarily of natural ingredients and recycled content.

Harmful toxins such as formaldehyde are largely a thing of the past. Whatever type of reliable and safe insulation you choose, the benefits to your home will likely be apparent fairly quickly.

Insulation and heating subsidies The Warmer Kiwi Homes grant gives 80 per cent off the price of insulation and heating for eligible homeowners.

Windows that are exposed to harsh weather conditions like heavy winds can be extremely vulnerable. Properly insulated windows mean lower energy costs for heating and cooling as a whole, which reduces each month’s bill significantly.

Double glazing will also reduce or stop condensation on windows. As it is made of two panes of glass with a space in between, the inner pane will be warmer which means less chance of condensation.

Single glazed homes can be retrofitted with double glazing. Professional installers ensure the process is quick and effective, and existing window frames - aluminium or timber – can be retro-fitted. Double glazing will improve the warmth, comfort, and insulation of your home, save energy, and reduce noise

Kuriger’s climate warning

National’s Agriculture spokesperson Barbara Kuriger has warned of dire consequences if the food and fibre industry cannot get a fair and workable solution in the climate space.

She has tagged the government-primary sector partnership He Waka Eke Noa as a chance to take control in the climate space.

While New Zealand agriculture was at the front of the global pack according to 2021’s Net Zero Readiness Index, to stay there, the country had to look to science to help reduce methane and further develop the carbon sequestration of our soils.

The Taranaki-King Country MP has just returned from a parliamentary trip to Europe and warned any transition must be fair and workable – because there were overseas examples where doing it by decree had gone horribly wrong.

“None more so than in Sri Lanka, where the government ruling that all farmers (tea, rubber, coconut, rice) go organic was a disaster, causing an economic and humanitarian crisis.”

He Waka Eke Noa’s recommendations report are regarded in the agricultural industry as a better solution to pricing agriculture emissions for the farming sector.

“National will be engaging with interest in the process throughout the next six months,” Kuriger said.

“Despite a pandemic, disruption to global supply chains, rapidly rising inflation, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and a lack of RSE (Recognised Seasonal Employer) workers, our food and fibre exports have outperformed expectations. In fact, by June 30, they will have brought in $52.2 billion in revenue.

Of her trip to Europe she noted “Zoom is a wonderful invention, but nothing can beat sitting at a table face-to-face with farming representatives to discover areas of collaboration and where we differ.”

Food and energy security were to the fore, given Ukraine is Europe’s second-largest supplier of corn and wheat to the European Union, as well as countries in Asia and Africa.

The delegation was led by outgoing Speaker Trevor Mallard and National MP Judith Collins and was designed to help smooth the path for New Zealand’s trade deal with the European Union.

The trip took in sites where New Zealanders fought in the two world wars and there

were visits to Crete, Athens, Rome, Warsaw, Brussels and Dublin.

Parliamentary trips, where non-executive MPs travel representing Parliament and not the government, have been frowned upon in the past for the perception they are cushy taxpayer-funded perks for MPs.

Farmers plan ahead

Act New Zealand boycotted the trip, but ahead of it Mallard said it was worthwhile and it was important for New Zealand’s parliamentarians to have good relationships with European counterparts.

Labour was also represented by Duncan Webb and Helen White.

Waikato Federated Farmers and the Ballance Farm Environment Awards hosted Waikato Farmers’ Day yesterday. The event focused on emerging from Covid, the environment, and climate change. Some of the event speakers hailed from Waikato Regional Council, Niwa, Fonterra and Gallagher Group. Federated Farmers Waikato president Jacqui Hahn, left, and FarmIQ environment lead, Alison Worth, right, spoke at the event.

Kaipaki’s Elwyn steps down 26 | CAMBRIDGE NEWS

COUNTRYLIFE

THURSDAY JUNE 16, 2022

By Viv Posselt

Waipā stalwart Elwyn Bradley will leave a legacy of community service in her wake when she retires as Kaipaki Hall secretary/treasurer on June 29.

She been hall secretary for 46 years, and for about three years before that she was busy on the social committee helping organise events. She was also secretary of the Kaipaki Athletic Club before she married and was secretary of the Kaipaki Ladies Guild for many years. Elwyn held the same position in the Kaipaki Cricket Club for over a decade while her husband of more than 60 years, Ray Bradley, was chairman.

She has judged countless lambs for local primary schools and been involved in numerous A & P Shows. “The last thing I did was as champion judge for A & P Shows,” she said.

With all that service has come a slew of awards. There was a Certificate of Appreciation from the Waipā District Council (WDC) in August 2005, awarded by then Mayor Alan Livingston in recognition of her ‘valuable and significant’ voluntary service, and another WDC Pirongia Community Award for her contribution to Kaipaki.

Life membership was conferred on Elwyn in 1990 by the Kaipaki Ladies Church Guild, and by the Kaipaki Settlers Hall Association, the latter given for her ‘outstanding service’

Elwyn Bradley spent 46 years as the community’s hall secretary.

to the local community.

Elwyn and Ray have been in lockstep right from the start. Elwyn was born and grew up in the area, attending Ōhaupō, School at primary level.

She was a Kite by birth who grew up on a family farm which she later discovered backed on to the one she and Ray purchased. They met when Ray, a Hawke’s Bay lad,

came to visit a cousin when Elwyn was still at Hamilton Girls’ High School. Once they wed and had a few youngsters in tow, they bought their 89.9 ha farm. It was ‘an old

wreck of a place’ said Ray, much of it untouched, full of tea tree and blackberry.

Hard years were spent knocking the farm into shape and raising four children, yet they both managed to live a full community life. Ray was on the Kaipaki Hall Committee for 35 years and was involved in various sporting clubs as well as Harness Racing Waikato. The latter acknowledged his ‘achievements and dedication’ with an award.

The hall committee was more active then than now. Dances were held, other functions and meetings plentiful, Sunday school romps and concerts and mid-winter Christmases started by Elwyn, always with Santa’s arrival locked in.

In 2011, management of the hall switched to a Board. Elwyn remained involved but said it became ‘more of a business’. Now, she said, it’s time for someone else to take over.

“I’ve tried to resign a few times, but never quite got there. This time, I had to make a firm decision because of my health. It’s the right time now.”

Her father and brother were on the hall committee too. One childhood memory held dear is of her going to the hall with her mother to fold bandages for the war effort.

Family has filled her life. They lost one of their four in recent years, but have 13 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren, with another on the way.

Kākāpō plan boosted Strategy plan welcomed

CAMBRIDGE NEWS | 27

COUNTRYLIFE

THURSDAY JUNE 16, 2022

Rural Women New Zealand says it is “great news” that a rural health strategy joins the women’s health strategy in proposed legislation.

“We are extremely pleased that the Minister of Health and his colleagues have listened to rural stakeholders, including RWNZ, and a rural health strategy will now be included in the Pae Ora Healthy Futures Bill,” says President Gill Naylor.

“For RWNZ to have faith in both of these strategies we need to know the current inequities of health services being experienced will be addressed, and that women and rural communities are placed at the forefront of decisionmaking.

“The inequity of care for women and

children in Aotearoa New Zealand is exacerbated in rural communities due to travel distances and lack of services.

“Women are at risk daily due to the lack of rural midwives and GP’s, long delays for cancer screening services, and if elderly, lack of regular home help.

“The issues we are seeing and hearing from our members and rural communities have solutions, and we look forward to working with officials to ensure that the health and wellbeing of rural communities is a focus through the intersectionality of the rural health and women’s health strategies.

“Our rural mothers, children and families deserve access to a health system which puts them first.” says Mrs Naylor.

ETHAN FOSTER CONTRACTING

The event attracted 390 people

Almost $120,000 has been raised from a single event towards bringing critically endangered kākāpō to rural Waikato.

Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari’s inaugural gala dinner and auction, Mauri of the Maunga, attracted 390 people, and many gave generously when it came to the auction.

The Maungatautari trust wants to create a safe haven for the kākāpō – but needs money to do it.

Kākāpō are large, nocturnal, grounddwelling parrots and just 200 remain on off-shore pest-free islands. It is the only flightless parrot.

The bird had already been hunted heavily

before predators were introduced by Europeans – and its defence mechanism of “freezing” and relying on camouflage was no match for mammals.

Last weekend’s gala fund raiser will provide funds to modify the 47km fence around the maunga which provides protection for native flora and fauna and keeps introduced pests at bay.

Ten art works were auctioned on the night and the final auction was for a chance to attend the release of kākāpō at Sanctuary Mountain.

It is planned to bring up to 10 kākāpō to Maungatautari before the end of the year.

Magic moments for netballers

By Steph Bell-Jenkins

Six Waikato Bay of Plenty Magic netball stars and their coach visited Cambridge High School on Sunday morning to run two skills sessions for young players.

Cambridge sisters Isabella and Sienna Walker were among 200 students who came from all over the region to take part in the free event.

“I learnt new stuff and that’s the point of netball, you have to learn new stuff to play your best,” said 10-year-old Sienna, who was buzzing after meeting Georgie Edgecombe, Ivana Rowland, Simmon Wilbore, Erena Mikaere, Oceane Maihi and her favourite player, Samantha Winders.

“I’ve been looking up to them since I was a little girl and I really want to be in the Magics when I’m older,” she said.

Splice Construction Magic head coach Mary-Jane Araroa was delighted with the “fantastic turnout”.

“I haven’t been to one of these days for a very long time because of Covid... so today has been an exceptional day and

hopefully the kids have enjoyed it,” she said.

For those aspiring to crack the Magic ranks one day she emphasised the importance of a “can do attitude”.

“At this level there are many challenges that occur... so you need to have that attitude that you can get through things and change is actually possible,” she said.

She also recommended

keeping as fit as possible and playing lots of different sports.

Samantha Winders, who has played more than 100 games for the Magic and nearly 50 for the Silver Ferns, found being on the other side of the whistle challenging but “lots of fun”.

“It’s very hard when you go from being told what to do as a player to actually

getting in front of a whole heap of kids of all different ages and abilities and trying to coach them, so it really grounds me and it makes me really appreciate all that the people at grassroots level do,” she said.

She urged people to get involved with coaching the sport, even if they had no experience.

On your marks – one of the races at St Peters gets underway.

Despite the looming threat of potential thunderstorms, St Peter’s Swimming Club hosted their Winter Dash Development swim meet as planned on Sunday at the Brock Pool at St Peter’s Cambridge School.

Swimmers showed their resilience as a heavy downpour kicked in just as the first race started. Luckily though, the rain eased off and the sun came out for long enough to get through the race programme, and for volunteers to shed their wet weather gear. Many of the younger swimmers at the meet were competing in the longer distance 800m or 1500m freestyle events for their first time.

This meet provided an opportunity for swimmers to gain extra race experience after a disrupted season, plus a chance for senior swimmers to obtain qualifying times for the Apollo Projects New Zealand Short Course Championships, which will be held in Auckland in August.

Brown belts for judo trio Camkada Judo Club sent three members to a first Kyu

Brown Belt grading on Sunday at the Rotorua Budokan.

Connor Gould, Tom Henson and Oliva Begbie completed the grading process with distinction and passed to be awarded their Brown belts.

For this level of grading the participants demonstrate throws from levels of the grades they have passed and also from the grade they are trying to achieve.Then they they must demonstrate three sets of kata - prearranged choreographed techniques.

Holly Pinkerton couldn’t say no to a cold icecream.
