Boards in secret reviews

By Mary Anne Gill

Waipā District Council has held a series of behind closed doors meetings and interviews to discuss the future role of community boards.

The talkfest between council staff, councillors and community stakeholders comes only a week after The News revealed the two boards have gone off script with their involvement in dogs and water consultation.

The News – which was not consulted as a community stakeholder - also understands considerable personal clashes interferes with both boards’ ability to function effectively.

Some board members are not talking to each other, some members do not have confidence in their chair and there are signals there will be a paucity of candidates come local body election time.

Twelve months ago the council was accused of going behind the community boards’ backs in attempting to get rid of them and replace with committees.

But a rear-guard action from the two chairs, Sue Milner and Ange Holt,

Mike Pettit

who went public with their concerns, saved the day and the council voted to retain community boards.

Mike Pettit, a former Cambridge Community Board chair and now district councillor, told council last year some “hard questions” had to be asked about their future. “I do not think they should be going on in their current state.”

Staff were told to undertake a review of the role and functions of the community boards.

Acting chief executive Ken Morris said the series of meetings and interviews were conducted independently in recent weeks. They included Local

Government New Zealand’s Centre of Excellence general manager Steven Finlay.

“Those discussions were conducted on a confidential basis, and this was made clear to all participants at the time,” said Morris.

“We needed to honour that commitment. The workshop was an opportunity to bring that feedback back around the table and for people to be able to freely and frankly raise anything else they wanted to say, in a confidential setting.”

He said those attending the workshops - councillors and community board members – did not receive meeting fees.

The workshops involved six community board and 12 council members.

“There were no decisions made at the workshop yesterday. But feedback from the interviews, plus the discussion yesterday, will build a series of recommendations to be included in a report going to the council meeting at the end of July. That report will be publicly available.”

Community boards were established in 1989 following the last major local government restructure and

in Waipā they meet 10-11 times a year.

In Cambridge the board is chaired by Sue Milner and its members are Elise Badger, Jo Davies-Colley, Alana MacKay, Jim Goddin and Mike Montgomerie.

The Te Awamutu Board, chaired by Ange Holt, comprises Kane Titchener, Jill Taylor and Richard Hurrell.

Annually, the chairs receive $19,327 (Cambridge) and $18,662 (Te Awamutu).

Board members are paid $9663 (Cambridge) and $9331 (Te Awamutu).

The boards also have members appointed by the Waipā District Council who do not receive additional payments for their time.

Council comment

Your last two issues explain just how inept and inactive our collective councillors and community board members are. But first, the good news, Cr Susan O’Regan has decided to stand for mayor!

It is amazing that our councillors are furious to learn that they may be forced to fluoridate our drinking water, claim they have no funds in the Long-Term Plan and with six water treatment plants it will be expensive.

Why does a tiny district with only 70,000 need so many treatment plants? What a ringing endorsement for Three Waters.

Are they not aware that in 2016 the National Government introduced a bill to parliament to give the Health Department the authority to decide such matters?

Councillors have had six years to ask their doctors and dentists. No more consultation is necessary.

Then we learn that Te Awamutu Community Board publicly declared fluoridation is a public health risk. This stance was immediately not supported by half of the board.

About 75 per cent of New Zealanders drink fluoridated water and many have been doing so for up to 50 years. Should we also open the debate as to putting folic acid in bread, Iodine in salt or chlorine in our water?

The lady chairman of the Cambridge Community Board has been forced to retract incorrect information on social media sites.

Facebook has a lot to answer for.

These two actions succinctly settle the question as to whether community boards should exist.

I have paid rates to eight municipalities over 50 years. None of the previous seven have spent so much time and money on endless consultation. I want the people I elect to make decisions on my behalf. Of our current bunch I see few that I would trust with that authority. Roger Gordon and Susan O’Regan may be exceptions.

Fully informed

As one who has enjoyed watching most live streamed council meetings, I have found it a great way to stay informed on what is happening in our area.

How do we know our elected councillors are acting on our behalf? It seems to me that council staff have the greater say and it is imperative that our councillors don’t always just agree but stand up and do what is best for the community. Without watching the meetings, we would never know this.

With local elections soon upon us we need to know the right questions to ask of those putting themselves forward for council.

It will be very interesting to see if funding is available for live streaming. Hopefully the funding can be found.

We also need to know that all meetings are live streamed and that sensitive issues are dealt with during live streaming and not withheld from residents and ratepayers. We

On the beat with Senior Constable DEB THURGOOD Plan for the holidays I have mentioned that Cambridge Community Patrol are our extra eyes and ears. Our frontline team want to say thanks for some great assistance from their patrollers that occurred recently.

On two occasions the patrollers have highlighted suspicious cars when tasked to patrol the Appleby Road area. Both times, Police attended and spoke to the vehicle occupants, uncovering stashes of drugs and cash. These were great deterrence and disruption opportunities. By working together, we all achieve a safer town.

For most schools, holidays arrive again this weekend for two weeks. We usually see an increase in youth offending during the holidays due to a lack of supervision and more free time, this is especially the case when children are wandering in groups.

Given that we are already experiencing issues in this area, please be sure to plan for childcare in this time. There are a number of holiday programme options available including Four Peaks (Cambridge Primary),

Journey Kids (Cambridge East 5-15yrs), Kelly Sports (Hautapu School), ‘sKids’ (St Peter’s Catholic) plus Elim and Ignite Arts Academy. Most can be accessed using an Oscar Subsidy.

If entertaining children under the age of 14 with playgrounds, parks and the skate park, be sure that you supervise them while there, or arrange for confirmed appropriate supervision. Just as you would not leave them at our local pool on their own, it is not sufficient to rely on random other parents or teenagers being also present or for children to be left free to roam. The skate park in particular has been the location of disorder and antisocial behaviour in recent weeks, partly made possible by a lack of such appropriate adult supervision.

As always with the holidays, if you are going away, be sure to lock and secure your home and let neighbours know you will not be home. Consider installing CCTV (there are some cost effective solutions available these days, footage of which you can

Live streaming

With regards to the live streaming of council meetings, it’s a no-brainer and of course, it must stay. There is no real cost once it is set up, which it already is. You Tube doesn’t charge a cent to stream and in fact once you have over 1000 subscribers to the channel the Waipa District Council could even earn money from it. I know this because I have been running a live stream 24/7 for about five years now. The only reason to not live stream would be if they would rather not be seen or held accountable.

Covid fund

A community recovery fund will provide up to $80,000 for Waipā groups to help communities recover from the direct impacts of Covid-19. Applications open on July 18 and close on August 11 and will be considered by a council committee in September.

There was $180,213 in the fund at the end of the financial year on June 30 which has carried over into this financial year.

BMX elite

Five Waipā BMX cyclists have been included in the 11-strong elite team to contest the world championships in France this month. The team includes Cambridge riders Bennett Greenough and Rico D’Anvers in the under 23. Jack Greenough and Leila Walker will ride in the juniors while Tokyo Olympic semi-finalist Rebecca Petch (Te Awamutu), who was also selected, will bypass the event to compete on the track for New Zealand at the Commonwealth Games in London on the same weekend.

Waipā’s number is up

By Mary Anne Gill

Waipā’s population has cracked 60,000 for the first time in its 33-year history, up from 48,200 a decade ago.

But whether that growth continues depends on what council policy advisor David Totman calls a “rogue element” – migration.

In just over a month, Stats NZ will release its national population estimates for the year ended June 30 and they are expected to confirm the high growth scenario projections Waipā District Council gets from Waikato University’s National Institute for Demographic and Economic Analysis.

Those show Cambridge’s population at 21,300 - 35 per cent of the district – and Te Awamutu’s at 16,000 – 26 per cent. Kihikihi (3500), Pirongia (1350) and Ōhaupō (750) round out the district’s towns and larger villages.

Totman released the figures to The News after a workshop on population projections for the council’s Strategic Planning and Policy committee this week.

“Population projections underpin all our forward planning,” he told the council.

They are essential for Ahu Ake (the Waipā Community Spatial Plan) and the region’s Future Proof Strategy.

But it is difficult to predict which way migration is likely to go in the coming months, he said.

Prior to Covid 19, the district was tracking ahead of the rest of the country in the migration stakes – both from other regions in New Zealand and internationally.

About two thirds of Waipā’s population growth has been due to migration; the rest to natural change caused by births and deaths.

Earlier in the day, during the committee meeting, Totman tabled an updated version of the region’s Future Proof strategy, first launched in 2009. The strategy is a 30-year plan for Hamilton city, Waipā and Waikato districts.

It focuses on the ongoing growth and development of Hamilton, the towns of Pōkeno, Tūākau, Te Kauwhata, Huntly, Taupiri, Ngāruawāhia, Horotiu, Raglan and in Waipā of Te Awamutu, Kihikihi, Pirongia and Cambridge. It also looks at the villages of Meremere, Te Kowhai, Rukuhia, Ōhaupō, Ngāhinapōuri and Karāpiro.

Councillor Roger Gordon said

he wondered how relevant the document was for Cambridge, which he described as the largest metropolitan area outside Hamilton.

“It lumps Cambridge (in) with the small towns in the Waikato.”

Cambridge required an increased allocation of resources, he said given the indicated growth showed the town’s population would swell to 26,000 in the next two years.

Totman said that was one of the reasons next year’s Census was so critical.

The 2018 Census had a worrying drop in response rate with policy makers calling it an “absolute debacle” for their future proofing work.

Next year’s Census will include the New Zealand Disability Survey and provide New Zealanders with the opportunity to fill out their form on the spot rather than wait for a specific day.

The population projections from those will be used by councils to plan, said Totman.

By then Covid19’s impact on migration – how many move from elsewhere in New Zealand to Waipā and those coming in from overseas would become clearer.

Long lunch success

Schools feel strain

Health providers say they are at capacity dealing with a combination of seasonal illnesses and Covid, but the use of technology and good health advice can alleviate this. This increase of illnesses is reflected in local schools with principals saying they are “hanging out” for the school holidays to rest and recover. Cambridge High School principal Greg Thornton said the illnesses had been “incredibly taxing” on staff, students and their families.

New fire deputy

Glenn Philip has been formally installed as deputy fire chief at Cambridge Volunteer Fire Brigade.

Glenn’s appointment was effective June 29. He now serves under chief fire officer Dennis Hunt, who was appointed to the role following Don Gerrand’s death earlier this year.

More than 100 people attended the Cambridge Chamber of Commerce Long Lunch in the Cambridge Town Hall last week. A selection of artisan products, wine and entertainment from the Nairobi Trio – down to a duo due to illness – set up an energetic vibe. Chamber chief executive Kelly Bouzaid said it was wonderful to show off the Town Hall dressed to impress. “We had an afternoon of casual networking at its best and there was a real vibe in the room.” A raffle held during the lunch raised $1445 for Waikato Hospice. Guests pictured toasting the Long Lunch were, from left, Chris Kay, Amy Walsh, Sue Kay and Wendy Oliver. See more photos cambridgenews.nz Photo: Mary Anne Gill

Housing review delayed

By Mary Anne Gill

A general review of housing in the district has been delayed by six months because of a heavy workload at Waipā District Council.

Known internally as Draft Plan Change 21, the scope of work includes enabling affordable housing, strengthening urban design provisions and rezoning some growth cells from large lot residential to residential.

The change was to have been notified at the same time as the mandatory Draft Plan Change 26, which addresses residential zone intensification.

Council had hoped to have the two plan changes notified by August 20.

District Plan senior policy advisor Jo Cook-Munro told the Strategic Planning and Policy committee this week her policy team has a heavy workload and is operating on reduced capacity.

“One private plan has been lodged and there are four council plan changes underway, as well as two plan changes being made operative.

“It is anticipated that three further private plan changes will be lodged by the end of 2022, and there are other enquiries around private plan changes,” she said.

Another consideration is collaboration work underway with Hamilton City Council to adopt inclusionary zoning plan changes.

Inclusionary zoning is new to New Zealand and is a planning approach where developers must deliver affordable housing within developments.

Hamilton’s plan change is tracking behind Waipā and not expected before mid-next year.

Waikato District Council, which takes in Tamahere and Matangi in The News’ circulation area, does not plan to introduce inclusionary zoning.

One of the technical reports already received for Draft Plan Change 21 came from Paua Architects on a character review of housing and streets in Cambridge, Te Awamutu and Kihikihi. Among other things it suggests council should prepare design guidelines for infill housing next to heritage properties.

Future proofing the bridge

By Mary Anne Gill

Cambridge’s High Level Victoria Bridge is to have a $2.6 million facelift for the first time in more than 20 years.

Work is expected to start in September and Waipā District Council transportation manager Bryan Hudson says planning is already underway.

Councillors challenged Hudson to make a better job of the bridge closure than the council did a few years ago when traffic clogged up feeder streets at various peak times during routine maintenance work.

Deputy mayor Liz Stolwyk told a recent committee meeting it caused “chaos”.

Work to maintain and future-proof the 115-year-old bridge will take up to a year Victoria Bridge – known locally as the High Level Bridge - is the older of Cambridge’s two existing bridges. It opened in December 1907, costing

£13,814 to build, while Fergusson Bridge opened in 1964 and cost £41,000.

The High Level bridge required a repaint every 2025 years, mostly because of the harsh weather but also because of corrosive pigeon poo.

Paint protects the steel and prevents rusting and corrosion.

The council will try to keep both lanes open during the work but there will be times when that will not be possible, said Hudson because of the weight of the scaffolding, worker safety and other work-related conditions.

“At times when the bridge needs to be fully closed, we’ll look to carry out the work at night or at times

when the bridge is less busy.”

Pedestrians, cyclists and mobility scooters will be able to cross the bridge in both directions except for when it is fully closed, he said.

Any full or partial closures would put pressure on roads leading to the Fergusson Bridge – known as the Low Level Bridge – particularly Duke Street, he said.

Council has yet to sign with a contractor but is already considering options such as a shuttle bus for Leamington residents, park and walk and walking school buses.

Once the work starts, the council would also like to run information events so residents can follow progress.

Racing icon backs RDA trust and women’s rights, and became the first woman to be inducted into the NZ Racing Hall of Fame.

Born in Paeroa, she was introduced early to the equine world through her farrier father and later the young trainer she would wed in 1971, Alan Jones. Keen to race alongside the men rather than be restricted to the women-only ‘Powder Puff Derbies’, she and Alan campaigned to get equal status for women. As their efforts increased, so did her personal ‘firsts’. She became the first female rider in the North Island to take home first place, the first to ride four winners in a single day, the first woman to win a group race, the first to win at Ellerslie and the first to win against men in Australia.

Last week also marked the 45th official anniversary of Linda’s win in her battle to ensure women could compete against men on the track.

She has an official star of fame on Cambridge’s Duke St. Helping craft the new Linda Jones Cambridge Riding for the Disabled Foundation has been Cambridge’s Roger Gordon. It has been under discussion for a couple of years, he said, but Linda’s involvement has finally enabled it to reach fruition.

“Linda’s relationship with the Cambridge equine industry over so many years has enabled us to establish a foundation for the sustainability of RDA,” the Waipā district councillor said.

“Linda was invited to give her name to it, and she agreed. We have got a particularly strong equine community here in Cambridge, and we hope the foundation will attract endowments that will provide a lasting and ongoing benefit to Cambridge RDA.”

By Viv Posselt

Trailblazing Kiwi jockey and one of Cambridge’s honoured daughters, Linda Jones, has provided a massive boost to Cambridge’s Riding for the Disabled (RDA) through her support of a new trust.

The launch of the Linda Jones Cambridge Riding for the Disabled Foundation this week, and a significant financial donation from her, will help secure the Cambridge branch’s future.

Linda was in Cambridge last week to finalise the details. The visit coincided with her return to New Zealand for the naming ceremony of the Hamilton retirement village named in her honour, Ryman Healthcare’s Linda Jones Retirement Village.

The new trust will seek donations to build up a permanent fund to benefit Cambridge RDA. A structure has been put in place which separates the trust’s governance from the organisation’s day-to-day operations.

Linda has lived in Queensland for the past couple of decades. She and her trainer husband Alan Jones live on a 20ha property near Caloundra. She said she was “deeply honoured” to be involved in the trust’s establishment.

“Cambridge always feels like home, and although I’ve been away for a long time, I still consider it ‘coming home’. I have always supported Riding for the Disabled…

I used to go there frequently, they used to get me to judge some of their riding days.

I’ve always been passionate about the work they do… it is lovely now to be able to give something back.”

Linda is considered a Kiwi icon for her tireless efforts to get equal status for women in the racing industry. She was awarded an MBE in 1979 for her contribution to racing

Linda Jones, seen here with her Duke St star of fame, was back in town last week.

Dental care strain emphasised

By Roy Pilott

A new paper calling for a rethink of dental hygiene for children has been released days after The News revealed Te Awamutu’s Community Board had accused the Government of “subverting” science over fluoride use.

The paper, published in the Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand, led by University of Otago paediatric dentistry senior lecturer Dorothy Boyd, says the oral healthcare workforce is severely understaffed and the government, healthcare industry and the public should contribute to the solution.

And it argues good starting points are improving affordability of healthy food, fluoride toothpaste and toothbrushes.

A submission from community the board opposing the addition of fluoride into the Waipā water supply warns doing so could breach a council bylaw.

Three Te Awamutu Community boards members – Ange Holt, Kane Titchener and Jill Taylor supported the submission which argues it is a health risk, one, Richard Hurrell, did not and the two council appointed members, Susan O’Regan and Lou Brown, opposed the wording, but stood aside from the submission process.

The Supreme Court ruled in 2018 that local authorities had the legal authority to fluoridate water supplies. The Government voted late last year to shift the decision making to the Director General of Health.

Waipā water had never had a fluoride top up – but will soon, starting in Cambridge.

Jill Taylor told The News her concerns went beyond neurological risks and she

believed use of fluoride should be a personal issue. She said her own studies had shown people aged 60-70 who were in fluoridated areas when young now had arthritis where those who were in non-fluoridated areas did not.

Six decades after fluoride was first introduced in water supplies, the Health Ministry continues to reject claims from opponents that it is harmful, and back it as a safe measure to protect teeth.

Community board chair Ange Holt told The News the fluoride statement was added to its submission on council’s Water Supply Bylaw for two reasons.

“Firstly, because there are a number of our community who support leaving fluoride out of our water supply and using other means first to improve dental health - and our role is to advocate for the community,” she said.

“Secondly, research is showing there is a risk to our health from consuming fluoride so if this is the case this breaches 2.1.a of the bylaw that states that the Water Supply Bylaw is to: protect, promote and maintain public health safety.”

The Ministry of Health, now Health New Zealand, says The World Health Organisation and other international and national health and scientific experts endorse water fluoridation as the most effective public health measure for the prevention of dental decay. It maintains there is no scientifically valid evidence to show that fluoride causes cancer, kidney disease, or other disorders.

Dorothy Boyd told The News her focus was on advocating for the better health of young children in New Zealand

But she said health officials would not promote fluoridation of water supplies if it jeopardised other aspects of health.

She said New Zealand had a long tradition of providing publicly funded dental care for young people, yet by age five, 60 per cent of Māori, 70 per cent of Pasifika, and 33 per cent of non-Māori/non Pasifika children have already experienced dental decay.

“The entire oral healthcare workforce is under-resourced, and Māori and Pasifika are underrepresented in it.”

The problem was too farreaching to be managed without a collaborative and co-ordinated approach across health and society as a whole, she said.

Ditching the plastic

Council partner: Leamington Vege Fresh store manager Mandeep Singh wants to see plastic bag use decrease.

Cambridge supermarkets, fruit and vegetable shops, butcheries and schools are teaming up with Waipā District Council to encourage residents to reduce their single use plastic during Plastic Free July.

Waste minimisation officer Sally Fraser said businesses have been eager to come on board to try and reduce plastic bag use in Waipā. The thin plastic produce bags are commonly only used once before being thrown out.

“Our local supermarkets and fruit and vegetable shops will be encouraging shoppers to swap out their plastic produce bags for reusable produce bags. Each store has 100 reusable produce bags to giveaway to customers,” Fraser said.

“Plastic Free July is a great way to get people thinking about their everyday habits and single use plastic. It’s awesome to have the support of local businesses to promote some easy solutions, like reusable items.”

Leamington Vege Fresh store manager

Mandeep Singh has noticed the dependence on plastic has been increasing in daily life.

“Reducing our use of single use produce plastic bags is an easy way to get our plastic addiction under control,” he said.

Singh said he noticed his older aged customers were very supportive of getting rid of plastic bags and encouraged him to participate in the initiative.

Council is running a poster competition for Waipā primary school students. ' Students have been invited to create posters on how to look after the planet and be plastic free.

Three winners will win a zero waste prize pack. Teachers can contact council for entry forms.

Council is also running pop up stalls with free plastic free product samples like a shampoo bar to “try for July”.

Cambridge market goers will see the pop up stall at the Trash and Treasure Market on Sunday.

Live streaming by choice Multi-million dollar update

By Viv Posselt

By Roy Pilott

There appears to be little or no interest in compelling local bodies to live stream all their meetings.

Local Government Minister Nanaia Mahuta has signalled she is comfortable with the current arrangement which leaves the decision over live streaming up to councils.

In an editorial last week Good Local Media argued live streaming should be compulsory and that the Government should help fund it.

The Government already ploughs funds into a project called Local Democracy Reporting – which involves funding journalists to sit in existing newsrooms.

But the scope of that project is limited geographically, and major print media companies have significantly curtailed – if not axed - their coverage of local body meetings around the country.

That leaves residents interested in following their councils with only the option of attending meetings – or hoping they will be live streamed. In Waipā only the Cambridge News and Te Awamutu News covers all council meetings with exclusive stories.

In response to questions about making live streaming compulsory, Nanaia Mahuta noted local government meetings were open to the public by default and local authorities made their own decisions about live streaming their meetings.

But she added live streaming

A recent meeting with deputy mayor Liz Stolwyk, left, with mayor Jim Mylchreest and chief executive Garry Dyet.

supported councils to be transparent and enabled New Zealanders to stay up-to-date with local government in real time and on-demand.

She said some councils had been live streaming for many years and it was now more commonplace throughout Aotearoa New Zealand.

“Councils are encouraged to continue to consider how digital technology can promote transparent decision-making and enhance their relationships with their local communities.”

Waipā based MPs asked about the issue also expressed support for live streaming, but they did not go as far supporting it being compulsory.

Waipā mayor Jim Mylchreest said it was his council’s intention to continue to live stream full council and major committee meetings. “We will investigate the ability to include other meetings

as appropriate and as resources allow,” he said.

Waikato Regional Council chair Barry Quayle did not respond to emails asking for his opinion.

Waipā and Waikato regional councils both live stream their meetings as a matter of course – but there are some shortcomings.

Working out who is talking is difficult and in the case of the regional council there are volume issues with the audio.

The News recently reported it was pushing the Waikato Regional Council to improve its online services around meetings and wrote they were “shown on a delayed basis if at all”.

While not all meetings are broadcast live, the use of the phrase “if at all” was wrong – The News acknowledges the council strives to make all meeting available to view online.

A progress report on the $36 million dollar development at Cambridge Resthaven was given to residents this week alongside confirmation of Waipā District Council’s decision to fund one of the development’s studio units.

The $84,000 one bed/one bath unit across 26.5 square metres, will be called the Waipā Studio.

A presentation by the Cambridge Resthaven Trust Board’s Greg Liddy gave a visual progress report to residents on Monday morning, with another runthrough in the afternoon immediately preceding the board meeting.

It showed artists’ images of the multi-stage development intended to boost Cambridge’s ability to meet growing demand for quality affordable housing.

Stage one, known as Hanlin Building and comprising 33 apartments, a café, dining room, lounge and a corner shop, started earlier this year. The entire project is expected to be completed within 18 months to two years.

This year marks Cambridge Resthaven’s 50th anniversary. In his address, Resthaven Trust Board chair Kevin Monks commended the enduring relationship between Resthaven and the council, one he said demonstrated local body support from the outset.

He thanked council for funding one of the studio units and said he believed retirement villages and development such as that at Resthaven didn’t get the recognition they deserved from central An artist’s impression of the Hanlin Building, which is government or some parts the first stage of Cambridge Resthaven’s multi-millionof the community. “We dollar development. enable people to free up their family homes and live here … those homes can be marketed or rented to other families.”

Deputy mayor Liz Stolwyk, who attended the afternoon presentation with several other council members, said the relationship between Resthaven and the various councils over the past 50 years meant the council had wanted to be part of the new development.

“When this came up on our council agenda, there was no question that we needed to do more to ensure that Resthaven continues to provide a quality service to Cambridge people,” she said.

Apartments in the finished development will include the studios, onebedroomed units, two-bedroomed units and two penthouses.

Rugby, rowing and…rock

By Steph Bell-Jenkins

Archie Hazlett is just as happy scrabbling in the mud for a rugby ball as he is treading the boards.

The St Peter’s School student is not only a top rower and 1st XV rugby player, but also an accomplished musician and actor who is about to hit the stage as the lead character in this year’s senior production, School of Rock.

The talented 17-year-old has been in St Peter’s productions every year since joining the school in 2018 and scored his first major role as the Toymaker in Chitty Chitty Bang

Bang last year, earning a Zony New Zealand Musical Theatre Awards nomination for best supporting actor in a youth production.

“When you get out there and people watch you and you’re making them go whoa, that’s pretty cool,” he said.

“On the acting side that’s what makes me drawn to it, exceeding people’s expectations and blowing them away.”

The year 13 student has come up against the stereotype that rugby players don’t do drama loads of times, but calmly kicks it to touch.

“People think, ‘that short, skinny drama kid, he won’t be any good at rugby’ ...but

there’s no such thing as a drama kid, just a normal kid, to my mind,” he said.

Archie got hooked on music at age five when his parents bought him his first guitar – “that just tapped me in the brain in the right way” – and got into drama at primary school, playing an ugly sister in a Matamata theatre company show, The Princess of Piako.

In School of Rock – which runs from July 29 to August 4 - he plays wannabe rock star Dewey Finn, who poses as a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school.

It’s a perfect role for the rock enthusiast, who grew up on a diet of AC/DC, Def Leppard and Black Sabbath and now sings, plays guitar and drums and dabbles in piano.

Standing 1.9m tall, he is the same height on his knees as his co-star Emily McKean, who plays 10-year-old band manager

Summer Hathaway.

Emily, 14, believes her small stature may have helped her secure the role, along with her passion for singing and dance.

“I feel like I relate to my character a lot, which makes it easy,” she said.

“She’s a bit of a perfectionist and an organiser. I’m pretty similar to her with her bossiness, but I’m only bossy to my siblings, so I’m really glad that I can bring it out onstage without getting told off.”

Emily joined St Peter’s as a year 7 student in 2020 and had a small role in Camp Rock that year. She was set to perform in Elf Junior last year but it was canned because of Covid.

Performing arts is her “absolute passion in life”.

“It feels like my happy place that I can go to when I’m sad and just let all my feelings go,” she said.

Expressway opening

Archie Hazlett (left) and Emily McKean have starring roles in St Peter’s School’s production of School of Rock.

The Hamilton section of the Waikato Expressway will be opened next Tuesday.

Kīngi Tūheitia and Transport Minister Michael Wood will attend a formal opening ceremony for 22km Hamilton bypass starting that day at 6am.

The opening will mark the completion of the seventh and final stage of the $100 million-plus expressway project commenced in 2009.

It now starts south of Cambridge, and a business plan is being considered to take it further south to Piarere.

Ruru release plan for expo

By Viv Posselt

When DOC-registered native bird rescuer Judy Fentress was invited to be part of Dorothy Wakeling’s July 9-10 Project Ruru weekend at Tauwhare’s Sculpture Park, she initially bowed out because there wasn’t a single ruru among the hundreds of birds in her care.

Just days later, the first of two ruru (or morepork) chicks arrived for rehabilitation and Judy changed her mind. “It seemed fate stepped in,” she smiled.

The upshot will see Ōhaupō-based Judy not only giving a talk on the ruru on both days of the event, but at around 4pm on Sunday July 10, she hopes to be able to release the elder of the two chicks into a specially selected part of the Sculpture Park grounds.

“It will be perfect, and Dorothy was delighted at the idea,” Judy said.

“So, we’re hoping for good weather.

I won’t release the chick unless the conditions are right for it.”

Dorothy and John Wakeling’s Sculpture Park at the Waitakaruru Arboretum is an extraordinary

intersection of nature and art. It borders to the Waitakaruru stream, and as the word waitakaruru is Māori for ‘owl by the water’, the park’s decision to draw attention to the bird and the measures needed to protect it seemed a natural fit for a launch at the start of the school holidays.

The 17.5 hectare park was built in a disused quarry and is run by the Artin-Nature Arboretum Trust.

Dorothy said Project Ruru would see the Trust team up with 15 artists, the Wingspan National Bird of Prey Centre, Wintec and Mitre 10 MEGA Cambridge to put the spotlight on the ruru, New Zealand’s only surviving native owl and a bird under threat from predators such as stoats and possums.

Artists including renowned metal artist couple Nathan and Destine Hull, glass artist Karin Barr, ceramic artist Sylvia Sinel and Hamilton metal artist Matthew James, have created numerous ruru sculptures which will remain in the park.

Wintec students are making 20 ruru nesting boxes with materials donated by Mitre 10 MEGA

Cambridge. They will be installed in trees throughout the Waikato.

The concept to hold a Project Ruru weekend came from former Trust chair Felicity Campbell who wanted to highlight a bird that many never see. Weekend activities will include ruru-linked games, presenters and workshops with activities geared to kids.

The talks by Judy Fentress on her work are sure to be interesting. The US-born woman has become widely recognised for the work she does with injured and ill native, exotic and domestic birds. It is a far cry from her long-time career in finance, one that saw her work in Switzerland for many years with her systems analyst husband Dave.

Since settling here in the early 1990s, Judy has established a complex comprising 21 walk-in aviaries, five incubators, a clinic and more. Tending them all is a 24/7 job that is a credit to her passion and work ethic.

Information and bookings for the Project Ruru weekend at the Sculpture Park are from their website (www.sculpturepark.co.nz) Ōhaupō’s Judy Fentress with one of the ruru under her care.

TALKING ECONOMICS

Measuring productivity

It is often said that increasing living standards can only be achieved by steadily rising productivity. Rising productivity gives a country growing incomes and more choices. A society may choose to take the benefits by having more goods, more leisure time or a less harmful environmental impact.

Over the last century there has been a massive growth in productivity globally, driven primarily by technological change. Unfortunately, global productivity has slowed down over the last 20 years. New Zealand established a Productivity Commission in 2011 and they have put out over 80 reports since then that examine our poor productivity record and make recommendations they think could improve it.

While the structure of the economy has changed dramatically in the last 20 years because of technology, most measures of productivity remain the same as they were before the digital revolution. One recent article I read concluded that productivity measures cover less and less of what people are actually doing. The measures only cover things that are produced and consumers pay for. This means that they exclude unpaid-for benefits from the digital economy such as free apps, Google and Facebook.

Quality should also be incorporated in productivity measures. For example, a cell-phone today is a far different product from a cell-phone of even a few years ago – and the prices that they sell for have come down. Traditional productivity measures that value outputs solely by their market selling prices could indicate that productivity in the cell-phone industry has fallen. The first thing the Productivity Commission should have been focusing on was getting some productivity measures that are up-to-date. Just because something is hard to measure, you should not treat its value as zero or your measure

By Peter Nicholl

will be misleading and could push policy in the wrong direction.

Despite these measurement problems, there is one trend in the productivity numbers that New Zealand should be alarmed about. We have gone from being one of the most productive economies in the OECD to one of the least productive ones over the last 60 years. We can’t blame the measurement problems for that poor record. We could only do that if NZ had made greater use of the digital economy or had greater unmeasured quality improvements in our products than most other OECD countries. I doubt that that has been the case.

One possible explanation for both the global slowdown in productivity growth in the last 20 years and NZ’s performance being one of the worst is that the productive sectors of our economies have been inundated with new regulatory requirements in the name of compliance and health and safety.

For example, the fastest growing area of most financial institutions over the last 20 years have been their compliance departments. These departments add substantially to the institution’s costs but add little or nothing to output. The institution’s productivity thus declines. I have never seen a costbenefit analysis done of any of these compliance measures.

The same thing can be said for health and safety measures.

They clearly add to costs while adding little or nothing to outputs. They hopefully will produce some benefits in terms of health and safety. But there needs to be a cost-benefit analysis done before they are implemented. We are all paying for these measures in the form of reduced productivity and lower living standards.

THURSDAY JULY 7, 2022

What money cannot buy Recently I read about a British television cameraman and his wife scooping a truckload of English pounds in a EuroMillions Lottery. In New Zealand dollars their ‘windfall’ equated to over $300 million.

Many people coming into money like this might imagine that all life’s problems were over. I’ve heard folk postulate how magical the sense of ‘security’ must be to have that sort of money.

However, in this couple’s experience, (as with the stories of many others), having unimaginable reserves of money, did little to make life better… in spite of the privileges they could now afford, wealth introduced complexities which unfortunately ruined their lives.

How ironic… having longed for wealth and expecting it would be the ‘making’ of your life, it ends up introducing its undoing. To have a ‘prosperous’ life means to flourish at every level- something money never offers any assurance of providing.

This particular couple gained wealth but they failed to prosper. To their credit, as they burned through cash, they gave some money to their two children and some friends, plus the husband shared loads of his fortune pumping cash into his favourite football club.

But as is often the case, getting a sudden windfall does nothing to prepare your character for managing wisely such rapidly gained resources. After thinking that having money would fix their relationship and make it perfect, their marriage of 38 years deteriorated, ending in divorce.

In addition to losing his marriage, money and possessions could not buy this poor guy the physical health he

FAITH IN WAIPĀ

By Murray Smith, Senior Leader, Bridges Church

desperately needed to enjoy the things he splashed out on. Suffering from acute kidney issues, in his early seventies he passed away leaving a trail of frivolous expenditure. He was definitely one of the wealthiest and most endowed people in the cemetery. But what was the point? He left jewellery, flash furniture, artworks, a stable of racehorses and a garage housing more luxury cars than anyone could ever find time to drive.

Possessions aren’t the problem if we ‘manage’ stuff - rather than stuff ‘managing’ us!

The Bible warns of the deceptive tendency material wealth has to become the main thing about life, capturing our attention, drawing our focus away from being prepared for eternity.

Jesus spoke about ‘laying up lasting treasure in heaven’, saying, “What does it profit a person if they should gain the whole world, but lose their soul?”

A financial expert stated that prior to the man in my story dying, he had for years, been burning through his fortune, at the equivalent rate of over $200,000 a week…something the advisor exclaimed, “takes a bit of doing!”

A wise king called Solomon understanding the tendency of ‘stuff’ to blind us and entrap us in materialism at the expense of our ‘real’ life, prayed to God, “Remove far from me vanity and lies; give me neither poverty nor riches; Give me just enough to satisfy my needs!”

Ensuring material cares of this life never distract us from pursuing ‘eternal’ life, is wisdom indeed.

Grants for apprentices Bishop leads Rotary

The six recipients of a new Rotary Cambridge Apprenticeship Grant pictured with then Rotary Cambridge president Ian Grant (far right), Daniel Reynolds, Mikah Bear, Roberto Cerezo, Katya McGeady, and at front, Thomas Halliwell.

Six apprentices have been awarded $1000 each in the first round of a new Rotary Cambridge Apprenticeship Grant Scheme.

The six are Daniel Reynolds (Wackrows Joinery), Mikah Bear (Rob May Builders), Roberto Cerezo (Bo & Co Electrical), Katya McGeady (GD Pringle Building), Thomas Halliwell (Chris Ryan Plumbing), and Kieran Miller (Nulook Cambridge). The donations will help each apprentice meet ongoing costs for items such as tools and course fees, particularly heavy machinery.

Now in its first year, the Apprentice Grant Scheme selected the six recipients from 17 applications received. The initiative is intended to encourage and retain muchneeded apprentices in the building and

constructions trades for the Cambridge area.

Committee director Andrew Bateman said applicants had to state their reasons for entering their trade and say where the funds would be used.

He said the goal is to repeat the Apprentice Grant Scheme project next year, and to attract a range of sponsors to enable more grants to be awarded.

The successful apprentices were granted their awards at a June awards evening, at which each was accompanied by their employer as a way of recognising employers’ efforts in supporting their apprentices.

They received a certificate confirming their achievement from then Rotary Cambridge president Ian Grant.

John Bishop has been invested as Cambridge Rotary’s president for the 2022-23 year.

He officially took over from former president Ian Grant at last week’s gathering at Don Rowlands Centre marking both Cambridge Rotary’s belated 75th birthday and the annual investiture.

Cambridge Rotary marked its 75th anniversary last November, but due to Covid restrictions was unable to go ahead at the time with a planned celebration dinner.

Last week’s event was attended by Waipā District Mayor Jim Mylchreest, Rotary District Governor elect Kevin Forgeson, and president elect Hamilton Rotary’s Roger Fitzgerald.

Hamilton Rotary was Cambridge’s sponsoring club in 1946.

The mayor presented outgoing president Ian Grant with a certificate acknowledging the club’s contribution to Cambridge over the past 75 years, and Rotarian John Tarbutt presented a potted history of the club.

Outgoing president Ian Grant presented Paul Harris Awards to Sue Milner and LesleyAnn Thomas for their contribution to the Cambridge community before walking guests

through a year in office punctuated by lockdowns and zoom meetings.

Rotary Cambridge also received two district awards club last weekend.

Outgoing president Ian Grant received the District 9930 Environmental Award for the Urban Miners project, and the District 9930 Communication Award.

He also witnessed the presentation of a Paul Harris Award to Cambridge Honorary Rotarian Deb Robinson for her contribution

‘putting service above self’, and the presentation of a Paul Harris Fellow with bar to Cambridge Rotarian Bill Robinson.

The Paul Harris Fellow with a bar is a double citation for ‘contribution plus service above self’.

Those presentations were made at the Rotary District 9930 annual changeover of district governors at Te Puke over the weekend. District 9930 represents 50 Rotary clubs in the central North Island.

Outgoing Cambridge Rotary president Ian Grant formally handing over the reins last week to his successor for the year, John Bishop.

MORTGAGE MATTERS

Free Up Your Cashflow

By Gavin Lynch – Yes Mortgages

Struggling with high interest rates on short term debts such as hire purchases, credit cards or personal loans??

THEN MAYBE YOU SHOULD CONSIDER DEBT CONSOLIDATION. What is debt consolidation?

It’s the combining of several short term debts incurring high interest rates into one loan at a lower rate of interest.

Who should consider debt consolidation?

If you own your own home you can consolidate your short term debts into one loan by taking out a new mortgage against your house which is sufficient to pay off all the smaller debts.

Remember - the cheapest money you can borrow is generally housing interest rates with your mortgage.

What are the benefits of debt consolidation?  You have only one repayment each month.  You have to meet the repayment criteria of only one lender - your bank.  Your overall interest rate will be lower - compare 4.25% on your mortgage with up to 22% on your credit card debt.  The length of your term can be structured to suit your needs.

Let me give you an example:A short term debt of $30,000 made up of two hire purchases, two credit cards and a personal loan may cost $1,200 per month in repayments.

Consolidate this debt into a home mortgage and the repayments will come down to approx $180 per month over a 30 year term. Pay $580 per month over a five year term and the repayments are reduced by more than half and the $30,000 debt can be paid off in full in five years!

If you would like to talk about consolidating debt, please call me at Yes Mortgages on 823 4531 or 021 783 266.

On the ball

Continuing our regular series of profiles on Cambridge Rugby Referees Association members ahead of the organisation’s centenary in 2023, we meet Kevin Clarke.

From coach to ref

Cambridge centreback Maria Cameron intercepts a through ball during Cambridge’s 3-0 home win over Ngāruawahia in a Waikato women’s first division match last weekend. Pictured left is left back Loryn Orr, who was named the host’s player of the day. Cambridge, fourth equal on the points tables, travels to Melville on Sunday. Go to cambridgenews.nz to see more action from the game.

Photo: Steph Bell-Jenkins

Thirty three years ago I started refereeing. I was the coach of the Tahuna U13s and refereed for three years because there were no referees for the games and in those days, much like today, when there was no ref either the coaches or parents took up the whistle.

In 1990 I moved from my farm in Morrinsville to a dairy farm in Cambridge and joined the Cambridge Rugby Referees. I started refereeing because my boys were playing at Cambridge High and I always found myself on the sideline with a flag in one hand helping out as a touch judge. After a couple of games I thought I may as well give this a go and I’ve never looked back since.

The funniest thing I’ve ever seen on rugby field was during orientation week. I was refereeing University v Marist and we were putting a scrum down and low and behold six naked girls ran on to the field and between the two front rows! Not something you see everyday...

I’ve also been knocked out refereeing – not by an angry spectator, but I inadvertently got hit in the head by a ball when it was missed kicked by a player!

What keeps me going is the comradery. The Cambridge refs are a really good bunch of guys and we have a lot of fun.

My advice to anyone considering refereeing is to give it a go.

Once you start you won’t want to give it up. You always get some passionate supporters, but the majority of the time it is very good natured.

Throughout my career I’ve also gain a lot of other skills with my association with refereeing. I started doing the appointments in 1998 and I was Waikato president in 2006-07 and Cambridge Chairman from 2003-2011. These experiences gave me lots of management and administration skills which I would not have otherwise picked up on the dairy farm Now the body given up I still stay involved with the association doing the appointments, coaching and grading - and now that I’m retired from farming, I look after the grounds at Memorial Park.

Hautapu into the semis

Hautapu’s win in the battle for Waipā rugby supremacy at the weekend ended the season for Te Awamutu Sports – and kept the Cambridge club’s hopes for a fourth successive final alive.

Hautapu saw off Te Awamutu 32-3 in a sudden death clash.

With the top two teams from the first round enjoying a bye, University stayed alive, beating Hamilton Marist 33-32 in something of an upset.

It means Saturday’s Waikato Breweries semi-finals will have champions Fraser Tech hosting

Try - David Morris scores…

Try again - Lachlan McWhannell scores…

THURSDAY JULY 7, 2022

with Jan Bilton

Cheap and cheerful

Budget meals don’t have to be boring. Try different combos of herbs, spices or sauces to add interest to your dishes. They’re relatively economical and once your pantry is well stocked, your creations are only limited by your imagination.

Meals with rice, pasta and noodles can be great budget beaters. And there always seems to be a new variety to try.

Ramen noodles are named after the popular Japanese soup they are used in. They are an adaption of the Chinese wheat noodle and only take about 4 minutes to cook. Ramen noodles are also excellent in salads tossed with an Asian-style dressing.

I also love them boiled, drained then fried. Most supermarkets stock ramen.

Like ramen, Italian pappardelle has been around for centuries.

However, recently it has become a popular restaurant dish combined with pulled, slow cooked meats. But many of my friends have not experimented with this wide pasta which to me is comfort food.

Rice has now become a pantry staple and long grain rice, which is four times as long as it is wide, is a good all-rounder for curries, pilaffs and paella. Any leftover cooked rice can be mixed with beaten egg, formed around cubes of melty cheese, rolled in breadcrumbs and baked or deep-fried. Yum! RAMEN NOODLE BURGERS I used Hakubaku organic ramen noodles.

95g dried ramen noodles 2 eggs, lightly beaten salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste rice bran oil for frying 400g lean minced beef 2 spring onions, finely chopped pinch chilli flakes 4 slices cheddar cheese Extras: lettuce leaves or shredded cabbage, tomato, beetroot or cucumber slices, thinly sliced red onion, tomato sauce or siracha sauce.

Cook noodles according to the packet instructions, about 5 minutes. Drain well in a sieve and rinse under cold water. Shake dry.

Ramen noodle burgers

Mushroom & chicken pappardelle

Lightly beat the eggs in a large bowl. Add the noodles and toss to coat evenly. Season.

In a large non-stick pan heat a good splash of oil. Place 4 egg rings (or use the screw tops of preserving jars — well oiled) in the pan. Fill the rings with the noodle mixture. Pat down lightly and fry for about 3-4 minutes each side, until golden. Remove.

Meanwhile, combine the mince, spring onions, chilli flakes and seasonings. Form into 4 patties about the size of the ramen buns. Panfry for about 5 minutes each side. During the last minute place the cheese on each patty, cover and cook until lightly melted.

Place the lettuce or cabbage on each ramen bun followed by the patties, tomato or cucumber, red onion and sauce. Serves 4.

stock. Add the mixed herbs, bring to the boil and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the kumara and cook until just tender.

Meanwhile, make the pesto. Purée half the broccoli in a small food processor together with the dried basil and olive oil. Add the parmesan and garlic and mix again. If necessary, thin with a little water, lemon juice and/or olive oil.

Stir the remaining broccoli and beans into the rice mixture and heat through. Serve in bowls. Top with the pesto and stir it through the rice. Serves 4.

VEGETABLE RICE WITH BROCCOLI PESTO 3 cups small broccoli florets, divided 1 medium kumara 3/4 cup long grain rice, rinsed 2-3 cups boiling vegetable stock or water 2 teaspoons each: dried mixed herbs, dried basil 2 cloves garlic, chopped 2-3 tablespoons olive oil 1/4 cup finely grated parmesan or tasty cheddar 400g can black beans or kidney beans, rinsed and drained Steam or microwave the broccoli until crisp tender.

Peel and cube the kumara.

Place the rice in a large frying pan and cover with the boiling

MUSHROOM & CHICKEN PAPPARDELLE 250g dried pappardelle 400g diced chicken 1 teaspoon dried basil 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 medium red onion, sliced 2 large cloves garlic, crushed 400g Portobello mushrooms, sliced 1/2 cup vegetable or chicken stock 3/4 cup cream Cook the pasta according to the packet instructions Season the chicken all over with the dried basil.

Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Fry the onion until softened.

Add the chicken and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic and mushrooms and cook until limp. Pour in the stock and simmer for a few minutes. Slowly stir in the cream and heat through.

Serve topped with grated parmesan cheese, chopped parsley and/or smoked paprika, if preferred. Serves 4.

CUTTING EDGE PHYSIOTHERAPY

IN THE HEART OF CAMBRIDGE

P

ublilius Syrus, an influential writer and one-time Roman slave, said “Good health and good sense are two of life’s greatest blessings”. Were Publilius still around today, he would likely find that applied perfectly to Focused Physiotherapy.

It’s a particularly good fit because the three Focused Physiotherapy clinics serving Waipā and King Country communities offer a combination of unrivalled professionalism and a friendly, holistic approach – a winning pairing that means patients can be assured of receiving the most effective treatments at the hands of a crew that are always welcoming.

Patients can be certain that their ‘good sense’ decision to make Focused Physiotherapy clinics in Cambridge, Te Awamutu and Ōtorohanga their practice of choice will do wonders in their quest to achieve ‘good health’.

When owner/physiotherapist Kara Thomas started the business almost 18 years ago, it was with the intention of helping people get on top of their injuries and improve their overall health and wellness.

Part of her determined remit was to make her services more accessible to rural communities while stacking her team with the sort of high-level expertise capable of assessing, diagnosing and treating a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions.

With her stated aim of ‘Movement for Life’, Kara went on to establish a successful practice that today works closely with local GPs and specialists in each location.

Focused Physiotherapy is also an ACC registered provider, offering treatment for ACC-related injuries as well as private conditions. The clinic will also handle all required ACC paperwork and refer patients for x-rays, ultrasound scans and specialists where necessary.”

The skilled team of physiotherapists at Focused Physiotherapy is led by the clinic’s senior physiotherapist and founder, Kara Thomas.

With 17 years in private practice and high-performance sport under her belt, all of it in the Waikato and King Country, Kara’s initial move from Hamilton to Ōtorohanga led her to the realisation that some smaller communities had a real need for better access to quality physiotherapy services. With that as her prompt, she expanded her Focused Physiotherapy network to include Te Awamutu and Cambridge. Experienced in a range of areas, she has a particular interest in workplace injury prevention and the role of physiotherapy in cancer rehabilitation.

Kara leads a team of talented physiotherapists, hand therapists, occupational therapists and admin support who keep the wheels turning in all three clinics.
