We will welcome them

By Mary Anne Gill

Street parades will be held in Waipā for the district’s Commonwealth Games athletes to recognise their achievements in Birmingham.

The games still have another four days to go so there might be even more successes to come.

“Whatever else happens, we really need to celebrate their achievements. They deserve that,” deputy mayor Liz Stolwyk told The News.

Right from day one Waipā athletes were to the fore with squash player Joelle King chosen with Cantabrian Tom Walsh as the New Zealand team’s flagbearer at the Opening Ceremony.

The next day cyclists Ellesse Andrews, Rebecca Petch and Olivia King dominated Canada to win the women’s team sprint gold in a Games record at the Lee Valley VeloPark in London.

Sam Webster, Sam Dakin and Bradley Knipe won bronze in the team sprint soon after.

Cycling New Zealand’s interim chief executive Monica Robbers, who lives in Cambridge, said the atmosphere at the velodrome, nicknamed Pringle because of its shape, was electric.

“Cycling New Zealand has done itself proud,” she said.

Stolwyk said she always felt it was “inevitable” the cycling team would do well in Birmingham.

“The hard work of these determined people has paid off,” she said.

The New Zealand cycling team’s success comes just under three months after an independent inquiry found cycling’s highperformance model was “broken” and needed to be “reimagined.”

The report was commissioned after the death through a suspected suicide last year of elite Cambridge-based cyclist Olivia Podmore.

Cambridge squash player Joelle King, who has already won six medals at previous Commonwealth Games, was in line to win three more when The News went to print.

After her shock semi-final loss, King was to play for bronze earlier today (Thursday) with the doubles and mixed

doubles schedule for the game’s final day on Monday.

“We’ve had some amazing welcome homes in the past,” said Stolwyk, a reference to parades when Olympic gold medallists Rob Waddell and Sarah Ulmer were honoured.

The council would work closely with the athletes to find a suitable date.

She came agonisingly close to adding to her medal tally when she rode the third fastest time in the women’s 500m time trial, only to be overtaken by the final rider from Australia who went on to win gold.

Cambridge’s Helen Hansen has to be one of the ballsiest shooting stars this town can claim.

She’s our own version of the ‘Big Bang’s Bernadette’, a little bit rockabilly and a lot more besides. When not ‘managing a floor of geeks’ as an IT manager for TechLads in Hamilton, she’s working on how to rock the judges’ socks off at the inaugural Miss Vintage Australasia pageant being held as part of the Vintage Fest event in Lincoln next month.

Helen will compete in three categories - Everyday Vintage Wear (think classic housewife), Summer Wear (swimwear, picnic wear and the like), and Formal Wear (think vintage Hollywood). She will also enter Miss Media, a category judged via Instagram on her Miss Pandelina personalised brand and the lead-up to the event.

She got into the finals via a selection of photos shot around Cambridge by her partner Colin Thurgood, plus some chat around herself and her ‘vintage values’.

Just 10 finalists will vie for the title of Miss Vintage Australasia, Runner-Up Miss Vintage Australasia, Miss Personality and Miss Media.

They must do their own hair and makeup and will be judged on their full outfit, accessories and overall look.

Alight with excitement and nerves in equal measure, she’s up for the challenge. Lincoln won’t be her ‘first rodeo’, despite the fact she has been part of the pinup community for only about 18 months.

“It all started after I lost 65kg over two years. I went mad over clothes while I tried to settle on a style I liked. I guess I’d always

dressed a little differently, a little alternative,” Helen explained, “now, I dress like this every day. I’d describe my look as modern pinup with a touch of vintage. I also flirt a little with the goth look… I did something with that recently as Miss Boon de Lux.” Since dipping her toe into the pinup pool, she established her on-stage persona and brand, Miss Pandelina, with a leopard print heart at the centre of her logo and business card design.

“It’s symbolic as I’m known in the pinup community for my love of leopard. I wear a lot of leopard print clothing, I have leopard

On the beat with Senior Constable DEB THURGOOD A drive-by catch I wanted to share some good catches made by the team over the last few weeks.

A male from out of town tried to steal two televisions from a retailer. He was confronted by store staff and one television was recovered.

The man then fled in a vehicle with the second.

Police quickly located him in a vehicle, with the outstanding television, driving past, of all places, the Police station!

The male had other matters for which he was wanted by Police, so it was a pleasing catch all round and the retailer was happy to have their television returned.

While patrolling in Cambridge East, one late shift, staff came across a car driving without its headlights on and at speed. When stopped, the driver returned a breath alcohol reading almost six times the legal limit. He has since appeared in court. Another person was caught driving with a breath alcohol reading that was over twice the limit. These examples serve as a reminder

that it’s not just our own driving about which we need to be aware, but the potential for other road users around us to be under the influence of alcohol or other drugs.

Recently I have had reports of young people in the Leamington area harassing elderly residents, playing ‘ding dong ditch’ whereby they knock on the door and then run away. This then escalated to wilful damage to a property.

While to some ding dong ditch may seem like innocent fun, when it is targeted and persistent, it can be distressing and annoying especially to our older community members. Wilful damage to property is clearly unacceptable and not the behaviour in which we want our young people to be engaging. If you hear of your children or their friends doing this sort of thing, please put an immediate stop to it.

Still on the topic of our elderly, I have been asked to remind people to keep contact details for their next of kin and/or an emergency

Her first onstage outing was at Frankton Thunder 2021 as part of the crowd best dress.

At the same event, she entered and won Best Overall Female in the Frankton ink tattoo competition, winning a Day of the Dead Metal Art piece as a trophy. She started appearing in other pinup pageants, and although still a relative ‘newbie’ at all this, appears at classic car shows, Beach Hop, vintage day out events and more.

Miss Vintage Australasia will be her biggest event by a country mile. She said its vision is to bring together Australian and New Zealand pinup communities, and encourage women of all sizes, colours and beliefs to celebrate their shared love of vintage. This is the first year Miss Vintage Australasia will run, and although there are no Australian pinups competing this year due to Covid restrictions at the time finalists were selected, plans are to run the event here and in Australia in alternate years.

The aligned September 24 Vintage Fest is themed ‘wartime and the victory era’ this year, and a Victory Dance over the weekend will see proceeds going to Te Kiwi Maia, a charity providing assistance to New Zealand frontline workers and defence forces injured in the line of duty.

“There are only 10 women entering from around New Zealand. I really like the community, they’re very welcoming and supportive, happy to share their knowledge,” Helen said. “I’ve still got loads to learn and I know I’m going to be a nervous wreck, but I’m pleased I have enough balls to do it.”

contact on them (this applies to everyone in fact). In a situation where a person becomes ill or is involved in an accident and is unable to articulate this information to emergency services themselves, having a card in their wallet giving such details is very helpful. Some mobile phones enable you to set a lock screen owner’s message which could also be used for this purpose (eg ICE: John Smith 021 xxxxxxxxx where ICE means In Case of Emergency). We had one situation recently where there was a welfare concern for an elderly person and police entered their home to find them absent.

Having contact details of the next of kin on the fridge or a noticeboard inside the house would also have helped speed up our ability to determine whether there was further cause for concern or they were simply away. Let’s work together to keep our community safe.

‘Menacing’ dog numbers up

By Mary Anne Gill

Waipā’s menacing and dangerous dog population has increased, Animal Control statistics released this week for the year ended June 30 show.

The district has 135 menacing dogs – up from 118 the previous year.

Menacing dogs are classified under the Dog Control Act based on their breed or type, not necessarily because of their behaviour, and they must be neutered.

The district had seven dogs – up from five – classified as dangerous.

Dangerous dogs are those that exhibit aggressive behaviour and by law must be neutered, kept in a fenced enclosure and on a leash and muzzled when in public. If not, council staff may take the dog.

While those numbers were up, complaints and requests to the council were down

Searching for Colin’s medals

By Benjamin Wilson

A Waipā veteran is on a quest to recover his grandfather’s missing army service medals.

“It is to preserve family history,” said troop sergeant (retired), Colin Parkinson.

Colin, 69, told The News that he discovered his grandfather’s British War Medal and Victory Medal were missing in 2020, right before the country went into lockdown.

At the time he made inquiries with police and searched medal collectors - but because of the chaos caused by New Zealand’s multiple lockdowns, the search has been on hold until now.

“I last had them sometime between 2014 and 2018 during an

Nothing to see here

Police are saying no more than “enquiries are continuing” line following a series of hoax bomb threats to schools last week. They have cited privacy reasons for not identifying all the schools involved. One was Cambridge High. The News asked if police had determined whether the calls were made from within New Zealand, whether any schools recorded the threat and how many police staff were involved.

to 3412 from 3733 the previous year. It continues a downward trend since 2017.

There are 9390 dogs in the district - 8313 registered as at 8am Monday which is about 500 more than last year.

Throughout the year, 224 dogs were impounded in either the council’s Kihikihi or Cambridge dog pounds – 176 were claimed, 19 euthanised, two stolen or escaped and 23 rehomed. There were no dogs in the pound at the end of the financial year.

In the last quarter, six dogs were put down, including three pit-bull type pups from the same litter signed over by the owner.

The Strategy team is working on an early public engagement process for the upcoming review of the Dog Control Bylaw and Policy documents including attendances in Cambridge and Te Awamutu.

Anzac parade in Cambridge,” he said.

Colin believes that he dropped the medals during one of the parades and didn’t notice. He thinks that somebody picked them up, and has either held onto them, or worse, sold them.

“There is quite a trade in those things,” he said.

On medal collector websites, World War One medals are sold for hundreds, sometimes thousands of dollars, and there is no central registry of medals that have been traded, or who they’ve been sold to.

He said if nobody had picked up the medals, the chances of them being recovered would be greatly reduced.

“There is a concern that maybe they are just lost.”

His grandfather, Colin Stewart Parkinson, served in the New Zealand Army as a gunner between 1915 and 1919, mostly in France.

“Because he was a gunner, he was very lucky, he never went right into the front lines. But nothing is totally safe, like most of them, he suffered pretty badly and never really talked about his service at all,” said Colin.

The medals are engraved with his name and rank, Drvr C.S.Parkinson 9/2380 around the edges.

Colin has reproductions of the medals, but they are not engraved, “the replicas are not the same, they’re not real,” he said.

Colin’s father and uncle both served in World War Two. His uncle, Gerald Andrew Parkinson, was a

pilot and died when his plane was shot down in 1943.

His father, Raymond Leslie Parkinson, joined the navy after his brother’s death.

“The old man came home, and I only recently inherited all of his medals,” said Colin.

Colin joined the Royal New Zealand Navy in 1969 as a mechanic.

He served as a leading marine engineer when he transferred to the New Zealand Army in 1974 and retired from the Corps of Royal New Zealand Engineers in 1991 with the rank of troop sergeant.

He struggled to get recognition for his service and was only presented

with his New Zealand Operational Service Medal (NZOSM) this year, more than 50 years after he first enlisted.

Colin has a display that contains photographs of Gerald and Raymond, buttons from his grandfather’s uniform, their service medals, and trinkets from the family’s varied military service.

“It is quite an interesting lot of service. There is two lots of army service, two lots of navy service, one lot of air force service.”

He is hoping that someone can return his grandfather’s medals so that he can preserve his family history and complete his display.

Cambridge: why the fluoride

By Mary Anne Gill

Public health officials have revealed why they told Waipā District Council to fluoridate Cambridge’s water supply and not other towns or villages.

It simply came down to size and was a numbers’ game, the health ministry has said.

Adding fluoride into the town’s two water plants would reach approximately 20,833 people and justify the government’s capital spend, estimated at $480,000, the Ministry of Health told the council.

In a parting shot last week, director general Ashley Bloomfield “directed” Waipā to fluoridate the Cambridge drinking water supply.

The order also went to 13 other councils around New Zealand.

Anti-fluoride campaigners across the district reacted angrily to the news the district would have fluoride in its water for the first time since it was introduced in New Zealand in 1954. More than 50 opponents filled the Waipā chambers in Te Awamutu on Tuesday.

“In reaching my decision, I also considered whether the benefits of adding fluoride to the drinking water outweigh the financial costs, taking into account the state or likely state of the oral health of your communities served by the Cambridge water supply,” Bloomfield told the council.

Cambridge had significant levels of deprivation, he said. In

the 10-level score in which decile one has the least deprivation, Cambridge central is seven, Cambridge west five and Cambridge north is three.

“There is a significant body of evidence that levels of tooth decay are highest among the most deprived socioeconomic groups,” he said.

Bloomfield said he had reviewed the state of Cambridge’s oral health and found it had significant levels of preventable dental decay.

The News asked the ministry for

these figures, and they referred the request to Te Whatu Ora (Waikato Community Oral Health Service).

We previously asked Waikato DHB for the figures, but they said that as a consequence of last year’s cyber attack on its computer systems they could not access the information.

The latest Cambridge decay rates The News has been able to access are from 2015.

Kane Titchener, an anti-fluoride campaigner and Te Awamutu Community Board member, outlined his opposition to fluoride

to the Strategic Planning and Policy committee meeting on Tuesday.

His presentation to the council’s draft Water Supply bylaw said the council’s role was to “protect, promote and maintain public health safety”.

The council would be in breach of its water policy if it decided to go ahead with water fluoridation, he said.

He asked the council to tell the Ministry of Health not to fluoridate Cambridge or any other Waipā township due to the latest science

which he said showed a lowering of IQ because of fluoride exposure.

Titchener said an alternative to fluoridation was the Scotland Childsmile Programme, funded by the Scottish government and introduced 11 years ago, which sees every child provided with a dental pack containing a toothbrush and a tube of fluoridated toothpaste.

In addition, every three and four year old child attending nursery gets free, daily, supervised toothbrushing.

Titchener accused mayor Jim Mylchreest of reneging on an agreement to hold a discussion with both sides of the fluoride debate.

“Waipā has allowed this undemocratic situation to arise, resulting in mandatory fluoridation.”

Council’s legal counsel Diana Aquilina said the council had to respond to Bloomfield’s order.

“It’s a criminal offence for the council not to comply with the direction. It’s also not within council’s powers not to fluoridate,” she said.

The councillors voted to adopt the Water Supply Bylaw replacing the 2013 version.

“Shame on you, you’re criminals,” a member of the public shouted.

“Your grandchildren and children have to drink that water. This is on you,” shouted another while others said “disgusting” and “hope you sleep at night” and “you’re poisoning us.”

This show really does rock… Fury over

By Caroline Gill

Dewey Finn is a wannabe rock star who was kicked out of his band and can’t make his rent payments, so he takes up his friend’s job by posing as a substitute teacher at the prestigious Horace Green prep school.

That’s the premise for School of Rock, based on the iconic hit movie starring Jack Black. The production opened at St Peter’s School, Cambridge last week and finishes tonight (August 4).

After overhearing his class rehearsing a Mozart classic, he realises they have musical ability and with no qualifications to teach he instead falls back on the only thing he knows – rock.

Dewey turns their school days into lessons on rock history and appreciation, eventually converting the class of straight-A pupils into a guitar-shredding, bassslapping, mind-blowing rock band that competes at the Battle of the Bands without their parents and the school’s principal finding out.

The whole show belongs to Dewey, played by Year 13 student Archie Hazlett, who competently captures the high energy charisma of this loveable wild, lazy, and rebellious rogue. Barely

leaving the stage Hazlett belts out crowd pleasers “You’re in the Band”’ and “Stick It to the Man”’ supported by the talented class of students. Special mentions must go to Emily McKean and Elijah Morton-Jones, for their fantastic portrayals as Summer Hathaway and Freddy Hamilton.

Another notable mention goes to Jade Newton whose characterisation of principal Rosalie Mullins adeptly captured the mannerisms of a strict uptight principal with a caring nature. Her rendition of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “Where Did the Rock Go”? where she lets her hair down (literally) to reveal her true self showed maturity and control.

This being David Sidwell’s 17th show as director for St Peter’s School, he has lived up to the famous show business phrase “the show must go on” getting the best out of this young cast despite the year of disruptions which saw rehearsal restrictions with masks, distancing, and outdoor settings, changes of cast, and a postponed season.

The staging, modelled on the St Peter’s Dining Hall by Christchurch based production and set designer John Harding is world class for a school show. While

its function is simple and effective, mostly keeping to the confines of the classroom, the elaborate full scale set emulates traditional private school architecture.

The costumes by costume designer Renate O’Sullivan are amazing and a modern rock take on the traditional school uniforms.

This high energy production culminates with a final crowd-rousing performance at the battle of the bands that makes you feel part of a real life rock concert. The mosh pit styled choreography by Hannah McFarlane, ostentatious lighting design by ACLX Aaron Chesham, modern rock take on a traditional school uniform by costume designer Renate O’Sullivan

and ‘rocking’ band led by Sam Cleaver give the full barbaric experience.

Being a teacher myself I know the value of relationships and igniting a passion in students. Seeing the musical and dramatic talent alive on stage led by the talented creative team who have clearly fuelled their love of performance and capably showcased the abilities of these young people is a credit to the St Peter’s team.

If you loved the 2003 movie, you’ll love this too.

• Caroline Gill has performed in several productions, is a former dance teacher at St Peter’s School, a choreographer and now a deputy principal at Sacred Heart Girls' College in Hamilton.

Vandals who caused about $3000 damage at Hautapu Cemetery on Monday night have been condemned by thousands of people on social media.

And it is understood police and the Waipā District Council believe they have the names of the culprits.

At least two cars went to the cemetery overnight and drove onto a grassed area, where the drivers did “wheelies” – cutting up the already sodden turf and spraying mud and grass on neighbouring crosses and paths.

One vehicle was driven over the top of a fresh grave.

The money to repair the damage will be taken from council’s general maintenance budget. As a result, other work on parks and cemeteries

will go undone.

A Waipā District Council spokesperson said the posting of the incident online was viewed by more than 160,000 people, and thousands of them responded with comments on shared the post.

The News was at the scene on Tuesday. There was little evidence of structural damage – but the area was a mess.

The council spokesperson said there was damage to berms and it would take some time to restore the lawn.

She said such was the anger generated by the incident that there had been offers of help - Cambridge-based PGG Wrightson Turf and Parklands Turf Ltd have offered to supply free grass seed and fertiliser and sow the seed respectively.

The damage caused will take months to repair.

Quarry consent work delayed

By Mary Anne Gill

The resource consent for a controversial Waipā quarry has stalled while planners acting for the district council seek further substantial information.

Beacon Hill Contracting was to provide the information by June 30, but its consultants Mitchell Daysh have asked for an extension till August 12.

The Maungatautari quarry has been mired in controversy since The News revealed in April it was operating without a resource consent and had been doing so for at least five years. The council suspended operations at the site on April 13.

The four shareholders include former Waipā councillor Elwyn Andree-Wiltens who resigned from the council because of a conflict of interest 19 days after The News revealed her involvement and three days after mayor Jim Mylchreest called for her resignation.

Independent consultants and commissioners, all paid for by Beacon Hill, would process any applications, Mylchreest said at the time.

The principal planning and policy consultant for 4Sight, Louise Cowan, who works out of the company’s Hamilton office, is considering the application.

Beacon Hill has applied to Waipā for a land use consent to operate four sand quarries at Oreipunga Road.

The company has also applied

for two consents from the regional council which would retrospectively authorise the sand quarrying activities and make the activities “lawful.”

In an eight-page response to Beacon Hill on June 8, Cowan said statutory timeframes for the application had been put on hold while she waited for the response.

Her two most significant requests were for a comprehensive landscape and visual assessment prepared by a qualified and experienced landscape architect or landscape planner and a copy of who has been consulted and what they said.

The site borders the Waikato River and is only kilometres from the protected Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari.

Sources say the landscape assessment would take some weeks to prepare because Cowan is seeking an assessment of the potential adverse amenity effects that may occur when excavation is visible to the public.

“This particularly relates to those parties utilising the Waikato River and on the terraced land across the Waikato River opposite to the site, including view shafts from Horahora Road, Little Waipā reserve and similar.”

In June, a regional council incident response officer wrote to the original informant saying the council had taken “no sanction action” despite finding a breach at the site and the environment was at no risk from workings at the

quarry.

The letter from Cowan confirms the regional council had also requested additional information from Beacon Hill. She has said anything provided to the regional council must also be sent to Waipā.

Cowan wants to know why the applicant needs a longer period than consent conditions allow, a rework of expected truck movements and load sizes, an estimate of existing baseline traffic from the site and an indication of what will happen to the excavated quarry area.

She has sought quarry activity or records which show why the applicant believes 80 per cent of its demand will come from Cambridge and asked whether Waka Kotahi had seen the Intersection and Crash Analysis report to decide whether it had any concerns about the increase in traffic at the SH1 and SH3 intersections.

Beacon Hill needs to review its calculation of financial contributions as greater use of Maungatautari Road past Karāpiro Domain might use more local roads and may increase the amount it has to pay the council, she said.

Four of the 13 major resource consent applications lodged with Waipā and in progress relate to quarry applications but the list does not include one for RS Sand Ltd which wants to establish a giant quarry on the outskirts of Cambridge near the Cambridge golf course.

Locks of love from Tommy

Tommy and Anne Peters during last year’s fundraiser.

mother Annie Peters’ young horse flipped over a jump and fell on her near Morrinsville, resulting in a traumatic brain injury.

She had a seizure and went into cardiac arrest as two nurse friends fought to save her before the Waikato Westpac Helicopter arrived on the scene.

“Her case was quite extreme just because of what happened before we got there. We had to use all the skills we had on that day,” remembers flight paramedic Diane Laatz.

Annie spent six weeks in Auckland’s brain injury unit and requires ongoing rehab.

“If it weren’t for them I wouldn’t have a mum anymore, my mum would be dead. I am so proud of her, of how far she’s come.

They said she may not walk for six months.”

So in a bid to say thanks to the Waikato Westpac Rescue crew, Tommy turned chameleon.

His 2021 lockdown fundraiser morphed just like his haircuts as fans on social media bid higher and higher for outrageous hairdos - a perm mullet, a dartboard, a helipad, Friar Tuck, and a pineapple.

The Cambridge caterer was joined by husband Ben and eldest son Lachie, as she and Tommy handed over the $16,300 cheque. Newshub

A Cambridge 11-year-old whose mother died and was brought back to life has gone to great lengths to thank the Waikato Westpac Rescue Helicopter crew that helped save her.

Tommy Peters handed over a $16,300 cheque to crewman Dave Jackson and flight paramedic Diane Laatz following a colourful fundraiser that captivated the Cambridge community and featured in The News.

“I was so grateful, they’ve had such a big impact on our lives. They are unbelievable, and today was about handing over a donation that will help other families like they did for us and that’s why I did it,” said the Kaipaki School pupil.

Exploring the future of Waipā

Waipā Deputy Mayor and project spokesperson Liz Stolwyk and Council Chief Executive Garry Dyet talk Ahu Ake – Waipā Community Spatial Plan.

The Waipā District is growing rapidly and by 2050 it is anticipated it will be home to an additional 25,000 people.

“The name Ahu Ake was gifted to us by our Mana Whenua partners and signifies our commitment to working together on this important project.

What would happen if that growth occurred even faster than expected?

Would our towns and villages grow upwards or outwards, or would more of us live rurally? What would be the consequence of that on our environment and farming industries?

“It is a really exciting time for us and a chance to work together closer than ever before as we chart a course for the future of our district.”

Or what if, because of the Southern Links expressway being completed in the future, the population of Ōhaupō and neighbouring villages grew rapidly? What community facilities might be needed in these towns to manage that growth?

What if our population growth rate declined?

Would our youth need to look outside of the district for employment? How would we sustain our vibrant communities?

These are some of the questions being explored by Waipā District Council as part of the development of Ahu Ake - Waipā Community Spatial Plan.

It will be one of the most important strategies Council has produced and will ultimately shape the future of the district. So, what is a spatial plan and what does it mean for Waipā residents?

What is Ahu Ake – Waipā Community Spatial Plan?

A first for Waipā, the community spatial plan will be a blueprint for how the district develops over the next 30+ years.

It will provide the foundation for all future planning, help to identify opportunities for growth and investment and to set priorities for where and how Council invests.

Waipā Deputy Mayor and project spokesperson Liz Stolwyk says it is an exciting time for the District.

“Ahu Ake – Waipā Community Spatial Plan will consider everything from how our towns, villages and rural spaces will look in the future to how we will move around, what community facilities we will need and how we’ll care for our environment.

“It will influence all other plans such as the Long Term Plan, District Plan, Annual Plan to name a few and will help us to achieve the vision and community outcomes we worked with the community in 2020 to create.”

Stolwyk says the plan would be delivered in partnership with Mana Whenua.

Council Chief Executive Garry Dyet says Council is now in the early stages of developing the first draft of the community spatial plan.

“Using what the community told us during the development of our vision and community outcomes and what we currently know about our district to create five future scenarios.”

The purpose of the scenarios is to look at how the district and its communities might evolve in the future in response to change, such as population growth, and economic and demographic change.

Scenario planning Scenario planning is a tool often used in the business world to understand what might happen in the future and help businesses plan for any outcome. It involves creating a series of scenarios which explore a range of possible futures.

“In the context of Ahu Ake, it will help us to understand what could happen in our district, decide what we want our future to look like and map out how to get there,” Dyet says.

“There is a lot to consider at this stage, so we are working with a smaller group of people, including representatives from a range of community groups and organisations, to refine the huge amount of information we currently have and get a better understanding of the general direction we wish to go in,” Dyet says.

“Once this is established, we will come back to our communities for their input. We expect this to be by March 2023.”

At that time Council will be carrying out extensive engagement with the community

to develop Ahu Ake further.

“We want everyone to be involved in the creation of Ahu Ake so we’ll be speaking to our communities about what is important to them for the future, their towns, villages and spaces,” Dyet says.

“This means coming to where you are to hear your thoughts. We can’t wait to work with you to create our community spatial plan.”

For regular updates on the project, residents can sign up to a community mailing list at www.ahuakewaipa.nz.

Sign up to our community mailing list to stay up to date with this exciting project

The first scenario considers the planning measures already in place in the Long Term Plan, District Plan and Future Proof among other documents. It is what would happen if we carried on with our existing plans and strategies and deliver what they set out.

The other four scenarios explore what would happen for example, if the population grew more rapidly than expected or didn’t grow at all. How would that affect our towns and rural spaces and our environment? How would we move around? Would our towns grow up or out? What community facilities would we need?

The full scenarios are available at www. ahuakewaipa.nz.

“Scenario planning is not intended to be an exact science but by understanding what is possible, we can better plan for our future,” Dyet says.

What is happening now?

Council is continuing to work with Mana Whenua and has now reached out to a wide range of organisations across the district for help to develop the first draft of the community spatial plan.

Consents up, time down

By Mary Anne Gill

Waipā council staff are catching up with processing consents and taking less time to do so, District Growth and Regulatory Services manager Wayne Allan told this week’s Strategic Planning and Policy committee.

In the quarter from April 1 to June 30 the number of consents went up from 140 to 143 in the previous quarter.

“However, there has been a reduction in average processing days down from 37.50 days to 31 days,” said Allan.

Those going over the statutory timeframe of 20 working days had also improved with only three going over compared to nine in the previous quarter.

A total of 552 building consents were issued - up 112 on the same quarter last year – and they included 145 new dwellings.

Cambridge and Leamington were steady (from 56 to 55) with the notable increases coming in Te Awamutu and Kihikihi (from 25 to 33) and the rest of the district (from 48 to 57).

“This aligns with Waipā as a growth district and continued

increased construction activity,” said Allan.

Development activity continues at a high level with the number of land use and subdivision applications representing a diverse range of activities.

Pre application meetings indicate no easing of the workload for the engineering team, he said.

There were 543 building consents lodged – 58 fewer than the same quarter last year - totalling $191.96 million The significant building consents issued were: • 102 Swayne Road, to construct four two-storey apartments.

• 32 Ingram Road, new warehouse and attached two level office facility.

• 196 Airport Road, new office and hotroom extension to existing production building.

• 168 Ossie James Drive, new warehouse office development.

• 22 Riverhurst Drive, new warehouse and associated site works.

• 1881 Cambridge Road, structure and services design for a retirement village twostorey main building.

Lake debate

The picture of the lake domain in 1916 doesn't look a bit like that described by Murray Reid as he saw it in1965. When I first arrived here in 1971 there were numerous chestnut and walnut trees with fruits for the gathering. These flowering exotic trees along with fragrant wattles, (now gone), magnolias, camellias and, added when the lake was extended - claret ashes, with the existing deciduous trees were a beautiful sight with their autumn colours and made Lake Te Koo Utu unique, and its picnic, barbecue and toilet facilities very popular and inviting.

The lake is also a wildlife refuge - with reed beds, water-lilies and a variety of water fowl which increases as the shooting season nears only to be "poisoned" by well-meaning mums feeding them. Perhaps the Herons and kotare and frogs and lizards might return if councils plans eventuate.

The former council water 'expert', suggested aerating the lake, not by

a " spectacular" fountain à la New Plymouth, but with an unobtrusive system submerged and radiating like an octopus, each arm terminating in a diffuser, continually releasing small air bubbles. Successive councils have, since horse and cart days, piped surface rain water intreated into the lake, developers particularly those with "lake view" interests have been un-willing to help in this area but would be happy to see the trees removed to enhance their property values.

Incidentally, did the Mayor have any success persuading developers to "cough up", to at least paying a share to the interest on loans to improve infra- structure?

Brian Dunstan Cambridge I read with interest Mary Anne Gill's article on the suggestions made to remediate Lake Te Koo Utu. One idea was to replace the deciduous trees, which drop their leaves in autumn, with evergreen native trees. However

it should be noted that evergreen trees also drop their leaves (hence the depth of leaf mould in our forests). The difference is that they grow new leaves at the same time as they drop their old ones. Therefore it is misleading to think that by replacing the deciduous trees with native evergreens we will necessarily improve the lake water quality.

The removal of large trees would of course reduce the leaf fall for a while until their replacements grew to maturity, but it seems a terrible shame to replace the glorious trees we now have with all their seasonal change, for a temporary and uncertain improvement in water quality. The wholesale removal some years ago of eucalyptus trees on the bank below Lakewood Developments has resulted in the rampant growth of numerous weeds including blackberry, gorse and pampas grass. Surely some other solutions should be tried before this.

Waipā mayor Jim Mylchreest cut the birthday cake and recalled how he was a council manager when the Cambridge Service Centre was built and the library moved into in 1998.

It was thought there would be enough room to expand for decades but such has been the library’s popularity in recent years, an alternative would need to be found, he said.

TALKING ECONOMICS

The genie is out of the bottle The world’s leading Central Banks all implemented exceedingly loose monetary policy over recent years. They assumed inflation was no longer a problem so they took on the task of saving the world from a covid-induced recession.

They reduced their policy interest rates to unprecedently low levels, including negative interest rates in some countries. When that didn’t seem to be enough, they developed new tools - the creation of enormous amounts of cheap liquidity for banks.

The Central Banks use counter-factual reasoning to judge their policies a success.

They claim if they had not acted, the world would have gone into a major recession.

They can’t prove this would have happened. But I can’t prove it wouldn’t have happened. I can claim though that they created far more extra liquidity than needed as a lot of it sat unused on banks’ balance sheets.

Another thing we can see now is that these Central Bank policies have substantial costs. First, they have let the inflation genie reappear. Global inflation has been stoked by the price affects arising from the Ukraine war. But the start of the current inflationary cycle was due to excessively easy monetary

policy. Central Banks are belatedly trying to do something about.

But their monetary policy settings were taken to such ridiculously extreme levels that they cannot quickly get them back to even neutral levels without causing the very thing they claimed to be fighting – recession.

In the UK for example, the inflation rate is about to go over 10% and the Bank of England has raised its policy interest rate to 2%.

A second major impact was a surge in many asset prices, especially housing.

This has both winners and losers. For the fortunate, it led to huge windfall gains in wealth. For the unfortunate, rents have risen dramatically. The cost is a huge shift in income and wealth distribution, something societies will live with for decades.

A third cost has just been revealed in New Zealand. The Government is going to recapitalise the RBNZ to the tune of around $8.8 billion. Why? The RBNZ purchased $54 billion of securities in order to provide liquidity to the financial sector.

They purchased them when interest rates were low. Interest rates are now rising. The consequence is that the value of the securities the RBNZ owns has fallen by $8.8 billion.

By Peter Nicholl

In 2020, the Minister of Finance gave the RBNZ an indemnity which effectively said that if their liquidity injection programme ran at a loss, the Government would recapitalize the RBNZ. The $8.8 billion bill could go higher if interest rates continue to rise over the next two years – which is likely.

So, on the costs side of the great Central Bank experiment of unprecedently easy monetary policy we have a return of inflation, an increase in income and wealth disparities and large financial losses by Central Banks.

On the positive side, we have the Central Banks’ claim that they prevented a recession.

But the fear of a recession has recently reappeared – and there’s little the Central Banks can do about it as they have not returned their policy instruments to anything like neutral positions.

So perhaps, all their huge liquidity creation did was to delay the recession rather than prevent it. It could be that’s all monetary policy is capable of doing.

It needs to refocus on what it has shown in the past it can achieve – controlling inflation.

HE WHAKAWHITIWHITINGA WHAKAARO

The genesis of racism

By Tom Roa, Tikanga Advisor, Waikato University

The word ‘race’ as a noun has a number of meanings.

There is of course the ‘race’ you run, a competition, and if you win you celebrate, if you lose you commiserate. Then there is the water race which is used to describe a swift current.

For us rural folk, there is that narrow passageway for directing livestock such as one leading to a sheep dip. And then the engineers amongst us will know that a race for them describes the groove in which ballbearings move.

And then there is the human race, the group to which we, in our sharing of our humanity, as human beings, all belong.

There is a very interesting TedD Talk on YouTube called ‘The lie that invented racism’

by John Biewen.

He asserts that race is a recent invention.

We humans divided our selves into various groupings according to our religion, tribal groupings, languages. For most of human history, people had no notion of ‘race’. In Ancient Greece he says, they believed that they were better than any other people they had encountered.

This was not because of an idea that they were innately superior. They just thought that they had developed the most advanced culture, and that all the others were kind of barbaric in comparison. Culturally, they were just ‘not Greek’.

And yes there was slavery. However they didn’t just enslave those who didn’t look like them. They also enslaved those who looked exactly like them.

It is clear to Mr Biewen that notions of superiority were not based on ‘race’.

His presentation quotes the findings of

FAITH IN WAIPĀ

An appeal to reason

By Murray Smith, Senior Leader, Bridges Church

leading historian Dr Ibram Kendi. Through Dr Kendi’s exhaustive research he discovered that Gomes de Zurara of Portugal writing in the 1450’s was the first person to lump together all the peoples of Africa, that vast, diverse continent, describing them as one distinct group, inferior and beastly.

There was no recognition on his part, and on the part of many who followed his writings, that at that time some of the most sophisticated cultures in the world were in Africa. Dr Kendi posed the question, why did he do that? The answer Mr Biewen suggests is clear if you follow the money.

Gomes De Zurara was hired by the King of Portugal to write that book. A few years earlier Portugese slave traders tied to the Portugese crown were the first Europeans to sail directly to sub-Saharan Africa to kidnap and enslave African people.

So it was suddenly really helpful to have a story about the inferiority of African people to justify this new and extremely lucrative trade.

With the stroke of a pen Zurara invented blackness and whiteness. Other European countries quickly followed the Portugese lead, adopting this fiction, justifying their trade in human property and free labour.

Mr Biewen’s conclusion is that racism didn’t begin with a misunderstanding. It began with a deliberate lie. And for him learning this history has brought about a real shift in how he understands racism today.

It is not biological. It stems from a deliberate lie to justify the brutal exploitation of other human beings for profit.

Recently the media has highlighted sporting activities being used to advance various ideological viewpoints. It’s nothing new cropping up, because although issues vary over years, sport has always been used to communicate messages loud and clear.

Many hold memories of the 1981 Springbok Rugby tour which divided New Zealand. Images of disrupted games and police clad in riot gear battling protesters are etched in the nation’s memory. New Zealand was polarised over views that playing sport with South Africa condoned its racist apartheid system. Many felt opposing the tour was an opportunity to address the issue of racism in New Zealand, while showing solidarity with the oppressed black majority in South Africa. Regardless of where we stood, the point was made, and changes ensued.

Back in 1938, the English soccer team was about to play the German team in the packed Berliner Olympiastadion - which had been purpose-built for the 1936 German Olympics. This stadium’s 120,000 capacity failed to meet the pre-match demand for over 400,000 tickets.

A famous photo reveals the English players standing in line, each with his right arm held aloft in a Nazi salute. What prompted these players to give the Nazi salute? And could we ever understand the circumstances leading to that?

Although this game was actually a return match, booked in 1935 after England had beaten the German team in a home game, by 1938 the Nazi agenda had escalated.

Recognising this, the English Prime Minister said, “the Nazis are looking for victories to boost their regime. It is their way of claiming

a super-race.”

Months before this match, Nazi Germany had invaded and annexed Austria in violation of the 1919 Treaty of Versailles. The international community’s response was mixed, from outrage at Hitler’s arrogant aggression disregarding law in favour of expansion, to others who viewed it merely as breaking an outdated, unjust law.

The match wasn’t cancelled in spite of a cauldron of controversy. Under protest, the English team reluctantly complied with instructions to offer the Nazi salute as a formal gesture towards their hosts, not an endorsement of the regime. Today, with the benefit of hindsight, we’d see the Nazi salute as support of an ideology that - by 1939 dragged Europe into one of the bloodiest wars in modern history. Such foreknowledge was not available to those England players.

The freedom to protest and maintain one’s personal convictions without coercion is a double-edged sword - that is, it ‘cuts’ both ways. High profile sports personalities today often publicly exercise their right to express opinions of an ideological nature. Providing it’s done respectfully without demeaning others nobody has the right to decry them simply on the basis that someone else disagrees or takes offence.

As a person anchored in Christian faith which shapes and calibrates my views on everything - be it marriage, gender issues, human dignity and identity or whatever - I realise others, even those who also claim faith, may not agree with my convictions.

Nonetheless mutual respect, acceptance and open dialogue must be preserved.

Carter’s Flat to be developed

By Mary Anne Gill

The image of Cambridge’s iconic Carter’s Flat is of an area where industrial and commercial activity is to the fore.

But in a proposed change to the Waipā District Plan, the 20ha of land looks set to become home to commercial, large format retail activities and medium density residential above the ground floor.

The council’s Strategic Planning and Policy committee received a report from District Plan and Growth

manager Tony Quickfall on Tuesday and approved for it to go out to consultation.

The change would lift the area’s current Deferred Commercial Zone to Commercial Zone: Carters Flat.

When it is advertised later this month, a Carters Flat Local Area Plan will accompany the notification.

That plan outlines how it would become a wellfunctioning urban area which adds to the vibrancy and amenity of Cambridge while providing an environment where businesses could grow.

Carter’s Flat is on a lower terrace of land between Lake Te Koo Utu and Karāpiro Stream to the east of Cambridge’s central business district (CBD).

It has a range of industrial and commercial activities located within it.

The change to the plan will remove the current commercial/light industrial zone and make it a mixed use area suitable for larger scale commercial activities that would not compete with the Cambridge CBD. It would include retail and office space supported by apartment living.

“A plan change would create more certainty to the plan user and landowners of the direction and anticipated outcomes of this area. It would create a clear link to, and be consistent with, the Cambridge Town Concept Plan 2010 and the Town Concept Plan Refresh 2019,” Quickfall told the committee.

Carter’s Flat today.

Cambridge already has industrial zones in Hautapu and Matos Segedin Drive which can accommodate heavy industrial growth.

The plan change would also see connections to Lakewood and Cambridge CBD improved and include space and consideration for bus stops and a connection between upper and lower Alpha Street.

Cambridge Chamber of Commerce has been in favour

of the plan change while noting existing businesses in Carter’s Flat, particularly those which generate noise or odours, may be concerned about the introduction of residential tenancies in the area.

It could generate complaints despite those businesses having existing use rights.

The area is named after American William Kennedy ‘King’ Carter, a tall, athletic

man who ran a coach service in Cambridge from the 1870s to Auckland, Rotorua and Taupo, offering passenger and mail services, and using carrier pigeons to relay messages between stops.

He had a horse bazaar in Lake Street, and stables in the area named after him – Carter’s Flat, 25 passenger coaches as well as buggies and wagons for hire, and well over 100 horses. Carter died in 1918, aged 95.

One club to rule them

By Benjamin Wilson

A Cambridge entrepreneur is selling his web design business to focus on a new golf club, designed by his father.

Jamie Moore, 35, is the founder of Bronte, a web design company that creates and hosts WordPress websites.

His father, Simon Moore, who Jamie calls a ‘serial entrepreneur’, designed an adjustable golf club that can replace a 14-piece set of clubs.

He is selling his business to Hamilton based Enlighten Designs, a web design company that previously expressed an interest in his company.

Jamie, who is also a golfer, hopes his web design and marketing background will be a driving force for the new business.

When he founded Bronte in his early 20s, Torpedo 7 was one of his first clients.

Now the company has close to 150 clients, one of the biggest being Spark Business Group.

He said he took a very hands-on approach to his business, despite having three web designers who work for him, he never stopped designing the sites himself.

“You typically get to a point where you no longer do the thing that you got into the industry to do, and I stayed doing it,” he said.

The company will stay independent and keep its name - which comes from the street Jamie lives on – and he will remain involved for the next 12 months.

“We are going to make it a real gradual, slow, transition process.”

Jamie and his wife, Mel, are parents to two

children, Hazel, four, and Ivy, six. He said from a family perspective, it was a big decision to leave his successful business for this unchartered territory.

Jamie says the idea of an adjustable golf club is not new, and the first one that he is aware of dates to 1896.

“But no one has ever done it with modern materials, modern design, modern marketing,” he said.

Parts of Q’s locking mechanism have been patented. In February, Q launched a Kickstarter for the club and have had 850 pre-orders so far. In October, they will begin shipping the product.

Jamie Moore is heading into “uncharted territories” after selling his web design business.

Women in politics

A newly-formed group has taken the first step in getting more Cambridge women involved in politics. At an informal get together at the Hidden Lake Hotel on Saturday the women, a mix of experienced politicians, newcomers and others contemplating going into politics talked of the barriers in their way. They say collegial support and an understanding for the community’s needs would go a long way to encouraging more females to put their names forward for elected office. The group comprises, from left, Judy Bannon, Louise Upston, Jenni Dacomb, Alana Mackay, Elise Badger, Jo Davies-Colley, Liz Stolwyk, Susan O’Regan, Norma Mackie, Sue Milner and sitting, Rosemary Hill.

Work to start on Cambridge skatepark

Work is about to start on an $800,000 skatepark in

Cambridge.

Waipā District Council’s

Acid NZ designer Antony Legget at the Cambridge skatepark

community services manager Brad Ward said the new Dominion Avenue facility will be a big attraction appealing to elite skaters as well as newbies.

It will complement the neighbouring bike pump track and Perry Aquatic Centre Puna Kaukau O Te Oko Horoi swimming pool.

“The upgrades to Cambridge skatepark became a priority during the 2021-2031 Long-Term Plan process,” he said.

“There were multiple submissions requesting an upgraded skate facility in Cambridge, including a great submission from a group of Cambridge teenagers, noting its current poor and outdated design.”

Council undertook two rounds of consultation with the community in December 2021 and April 2022 to help shape plans and understand what the community wanted for their skatepark.

“As a result, we updated the designs to remove the staircase and extend the hip, raise the learner zone surface and add a pump-dump, quarter pipe and rainbow rail. A shaded hangout area and extra seating will also be installed to connect the skatepark to the rest of the activity spaces at Dominion

Avenue.”

The six-month construction project will be led by Fluhler Contracting Limited, alongside Acid NZ who designed the skateparks for both Cambridge and Te Awamutu.

During construction, sections of park will be closed although the pump track will remain open.

The council says it will “come down hard” on anyone trespassing or defacing the park during the construction phase. It is installing security fencing

and cameras to deter people from entering the site.

“People trespassing or creating havoc during construction will push up the costs and delay the project. No-one wins out of that,” Ward said.

“We strongly encourage residents to report any trespassing during construction to the Police, so we can complete the upgrade and open it up for tamariki and rangitahi to enjoy.”

Weather permitting, the new Te Awamutu skatepark,

play elements and parkour space at Centennial Park is scheduled to open midSeptember. Council has invested more than $1 million in this facility and began work in February 2022.

Council is continuing to work with the community to determine final locations for the skate facility sites in Kihikihi and Pirongia.

In early September, council will begin community consultation on a preferred site for the new Kihikihi skatepark.

MORTGAGE MATTERS

Why use a Mortgage Broker?

By Gavin Lynch – Yes Mortgages In the present loan market, most lenders are changing their criteria in regards to what, how much and to whom they lend. This makes it even more important to use a mortgage broker so you know you are getting the right mortgage and right lender to suit your needs.

I believe every client has a unique borrowing scenario and time needs to be taken with the client to understand and analyse this, so a correct lending plan and structure can be put in place to achieve goals.

In this column, I want to explain briefly the role of the mortgage broker and what I can offer.

The key role of the mortgage broker is to make the whole loan process easier for you, the client. This is possible because: I can look at all the lending options.

I deal with more than 25 different lenders and work to find the best lender to suit your unique situation.

• I can do all the ‘leg work’ with the lenders.

• This saves you time and avoids pitfalls in getting a loan approved.

• I can negotiate rates, fees, and legal contributions with certain lenders to obtain the best deal for the client.

• I can meet at a convenient time and place for the client.

• This can be in the home or workplace and after hours if need be.

• I can advise on the best loan structure to suit the client’s need.

And best of all using a broker is a free service in most cases. Now that has to be worth thinking about!

If your looking for a mortgage, please give me a call on 823 4531 or 021 783 266 and I can help you though the whole process. gavin@yesmortgages.co.nz

Student James Morgan got to hold the Lexus Melbourne Cup when it visited Cambridge Middle School last week.

Last November at Flemington Racecourse, the trophy was being kissed by Cambridge produced jockey James McDonald, who won the 2021 Melbourne Cup on New Zealand bred mare Verry Elleegant.

McDonald grew up in Cambridge and attended Cambridge Middle School as a boy – a connection that helped secure CMS’s spot on the cup’s tour last week.

“With all the connections some of our children and staff have with racing in the district it was pretty special to

be able to touch it and see it,” Principal Daryl Gibbs said.

Victoria Racing Club has been touring Australia and the globe with the Melbourne Cup for 20 years, covering more than 760,000km and visiting more than 560,000 destinations.

Victoria Racing Club’s Lexus Melbourne Cup tour manager Joe McGrath and Australian race caller Greg Miles took the cup on the New Zealand leg of this year’s tour.

Goodwin bred Verry Elleegant, a mare sized by Zed, whose father Zabeel stood at Cambridge Stud.

Verry Elleegant was named the Seton Otway Horse of the Year at Saturday night’s National Breeding Awards at Karāpiro. Octogenarian

Goodwin was also named New Zealand Small Breeder of the Year.

Savabeel scored a clean sweep of stallion titles for the 2021/22 season, winning

the Grosvenor Award as Champion New Zealand Sire for the eighth time in a row.

Now Funny Face reigns

Graeme Rogerson and Dylan Ferguson have retained the Dunstan Cambridge Raceway Horse of the Year title.

The Hamilton trainers won their first title courtesy of She Reigns last year, and stablemate Funny Face held onto a two-point margin buffer to take out the 2021/22 edition.

The daughter of Peak joined the barn in August last year and immediately made an impact, winning fresh-up for the stable over 2200m at Cambridge Raceway in September.

She had a further seven starts, all at Cambridge Raceway, winning three races and finishing runner-up in another outing, sealing back-to-back series victories.

“She deserved it, she has raced well all season,” Ferguson said. “She won in the first meeting of the season and the second to last. She has done a good job this year.

“Once she started to put things together she got better with every start. That has been the key to her last couple of starts –

her manners have been a lot better.

Ferguson was particularly pleased with her last start fresh-up victory at Cambridge Raceway, which cemented the title for the mare.

“She has always raced pretty well fresh, that is why we have spaced her races a little bit. It was a pretty good effort last start in a good time,” he said.

The stable also picked up third place in the series courtesy of Delson, (34 points) who posted four consecutive wins at Cambridge Raceway before heading across the Tasman to further his racing career.

“Being in Australia he was no chance of getting more points, so it was a case of seeing if anyone could overtake him.

Luckily it was one of our other horses,” Ferguson said.

Sandwiched between the pair on 35 points was the Arna Donnelly-trained Aflyin Spur.

The Cambridge Raceway trainer also finished runner-up last year with The

POWER LINE

ISSUES?

Banker, and Ferguson said he has been enjoying the rivalry between the two stables.

“We are probably two of the biggest stables in the Waikato at the moment. We have both got nice horses in our barn and that has showed in the Horse of the Year over the last couple of years where we have both featured prominently.”

As the winner of the series, Funny Face’s owner Allen Christiansen will receive $4000, while Ferguson and Rogerson will receive a $3000 prize to go along with their $1000 prize for training third-placed Delson.

Donnelly will receive a $2000 prize for training runner-up Aflyin Spur.

Ferguson is setting his sights on some lofty targets if Funny Face performs well at Cambridge Raceway’s next meeting.

“She is probably going to run at Cambridge on the August 11 and then we will use that as the decider if we take her down south for a couple of fillies and mares races in October,” he said. – Cambridge Raceway

Frying pan favs

Last year, before finally finding a house, my husband and I rented a tiny apartment with extremely limited cooking facilities. But it did have an excellent frying pan. And I just love whipping up one-pan meals. They’re so easy.

This pan had a very heavy base so it distributed the heat evenly. It was non-stick which meant I didn’t have to use oil in much of my cooking. The pan was a good size providing enough room for cooking breaded schnitzels to keep the coating crisp instead of going soggy. And it was large enough to cook an entire meal for four servings.

If you do need to use cooking oil, choose one with a high smoke point so it doesn’t seep into the food. I prefer canola or sunflower as they are affordable and have a mild taste.

However, if you want more flavour try grapeseed or avocado oil. Heat the oil until a faint haze rises. To test for the correct temperature, add a cube of day-old bread to the heated oil.

Cook for about one minute until it turns golden and crisp — then the temperature is right for frying.

FUSILLI WITH SAUSAGE & MOZZARELLA Because the sausages contain a little fat, there is no need to use oil for frying.

500g Italian-style, fresh sausages 3 cloves garlic, crushed 1/4 teaspoon chilli flakes or to taste 2 x 400g cans diced tomatoes 1 tablespoon tomato paste 2 cups dried fusilli (spiral) pasta 3 cups water 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese 4 tablespoons sour cream or cream 75g fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced Heat a non-stick frying pan on medium. Squeeze out the meat of one sausage into the pan making 5 small balls. Repeat with the remaining sausages. Stir-fry until the sausage balls are browned all over. Stir in the garlic and chilli flakes and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper, if preferred.

Stir in the tomatoes and tomato paste. Simmer for 5-7 minutes.
