Waipā residents can expect more household hazardous waste drop-off events following the district’s second being deemed another success.
“The older chemicals were designed to be very effective, but not so selective.”

“We know that there is hazardous waste out there from our audits, but it is a very small percentage, so it is just a matter of waiting until we have the time and budget to do an event,” said Fraser, who managed Sunday’s event.
“A lot of the older stuff is really quite nasty,” said Richards.
“What we find is that people have being hanging onto stuff that they feel bad about disposing,” said Fraser.
One hundred and eight residents disposed of their hazardous household waste at the Cambridge event on Sunday.Itwas the first of its kind for the town and a follow up to an identical event in Te Awamutu in July.

Fraser said because the government is increasing its waste disposal levy, it is likely that the council will be able to hold more of these events in the future.
“It is just a matter of providing a service for that tricky waste that people have trouble finding a place for,” said Waipā District Council waste minimisation officer Sally Fraser.

The Hastings based 3R Group was contracted to collect and dispose of the waste, which mostly consisted of paint, engine oil, herbicides, pesticides, and batteries.
“We want to educate people on what they can do with this stuff normally… but there are definitely things here that can’t be taken anywhere else, such as the arsenic.”
“That is to help it be more economical to divert waste.

“Once we get this back to Hastings, we take it all out and separate it into its disposable pathways,” said ChemCollect general manager, Jason Richards.
Some of the waste is sent to third parties for it to be neutralised before being disposed of in class A landfills, other waste could be sent offshore for incineration.
One of the most dangerous finds of the weekend was a container of arsenate of lead powder (arsenic), a dangerous insecticide that was once popular but is now banned.

It costs $20 to send one tonne of household or class one waste to landfill, but this is set to increase to $60 per tonne in 2024.

At the moment, relatively speaking, sending a tonne of rubbish to landfill is cheap. But when that price goes up people will start thinking ‘maybe I should take out my scrap metal, maybe I shouldn’t put my grass clippings in there.’”
He said that the ‘nasty’ waste is more dangerous when it is left at homes and not disposed of properly, because children or pets could come across it.

Robert CambridgeMartynoga Daffodil Day
After the cancellation of last year’s street collection due to nationwide lockdowns, it was especially heart-warming to see our volunteers return to the streets for Daffodil Day on Friday 26 August. The enthusiasm from our volunteers and the generosity of our communities across the Waikato and Bay of Plenty is testament to the significance of this iconic day for many in our community. This generosity couldn’t come at a more vital time. More New Zealanders will get cancer this year than ever before. For them, and their whānau, practical support – like free transport to treatment and expert advice from experienced nurses – can relieve much of the burden during a physically and emotionally tough time. To everyone who worked tirelessly to ensure a safe and successful Daffodil Day, we thank you. Daffodil Day wouldn’t be possible without dedicated volunteers, including local Cambridge Daffodil Day coordinator Robyn Creighton, who gift their precious time to make a difference for their community. And I want to extend my sincerest gratitude to the wider Cambridge community, businesses and schools for getting behind Cancer Society this year. Your support ensures no one faces cancer alone. Helen Carter Chief Waikato/BayExecutiveofPlenty Cancer Society Bridge needed Cambridge has grown rapidly over the years and is still growing. Unfortunately, the roading system has not grown with it. Some cyclists still use the pedestrian footpath instead of the road. Within the entire Cambridge boundaries the road speed should be 40kph not 50kph to improve safety for drivers, cyclists and pedestrians. With increasing population, a third bridge is an absolute necessity for Cambridge residents. The High Level bridge is over 100 years old and was originally designed for pedestrians and horse-and-carts. The High Level bridge was closed for safety reasons a few years ago and with the one available bridge it took people up to 45 minutes to get from Cambridge to Leamington. The makes a third bridge absolutely essential. Work on the Cambridge roading system should be an absolute priority for the incoming council.

On a different final note, I regularly see people commenting online about the Police station being closed. Our front counter is open 8am-4pm Monday – Friday. Outside of those times, you can use the intercom on the wall beside the front door to contact police communications directly or you can call 111 or 105 directly from your phone as always.
Fluoride response I was shocked to see the article “Fluoride: still not convinced” that indicated that only 9 potential Waipa council candidates were in favour, 10 were against fluoridation and 9 were unsure. What planet are these latter 19 living on? In what century? This is a case where there is absolutely no excuse not to follow the scientific evidence. There is clear evidence of benefit to children’s health, wellbeing and educational attainment with good dental health. Fluoridation can help achieve this. It is a universal benefit to all of society - but is crucially important for children, especially for those living in poverty and for Māori tamariki for example. It is a travesty that in New Zealand today dental health is subordinate to “flat earth thinking” which cannot be tolerated, particularly in anyone running for public office. They should be ashamed for criticising Ashley Bloomfield and the Health Act 2021.
Work on Cambridge’s Victoria St bridge will be something of a balancing act, Waipā District Council’s transportation manager Bryan Hudson says. Painting and maintenance work is expected to run through to mid 2023. The council is exploring ways to minimise the impact on traffic by considering park and ride options in Leamington and setting up walking school buses. The council said this week InterGroup Ltd had won the contract to repaint and carry out maintenance on the high-level bridge. Hudson said council was now working with the contractor to understand how the work would be carried out.
Such reports provide an opportunity for appropriate whānau supports to be put in place and for referrals to be made to appropriate local organisations.

Police often get involved in difficult situations involving children, such as family harm, adolescent mental health, bullying and sometimes just as an initial point of contact when whanau are struggling. It is common for people to feel overwhelmed and unsure where to turn in those situations. They say it takes a village to raise a child. If you are struggling with your child’s behaviour, there are places to where you can reach out for support. For parents, support and advice is available at the free Parent Help line. Their website also has helpful information and strategies around managing challenging behaviours.
This week is Child Safeguarding week. The purpose of Child Safeguarding Week is to raise awareness, support and educate, and to spread the word about what we can all do to help protect our tamariki.

Two candidates for the Waipā District Council have stood down form their role with Destination Cambridge, which has a new chair. Philip Coles stood down at the organisation’s annual meeting after three terms and Roger Gordon, a former chief executive of the organisation, has stood down after five. The pair were unable to advocate for the organisations as district councillors because that amounted to a conflict of interest – an issue which has been raised several times around the council table during the current term. Both their replacements have history with Destination Cambridge. Martin Buglass, a board member since 2014, succeeds Coles as the new chair. He is an accommodation business owner.Former board member Dick Breukink has returned, having resigned from his post on the Cambridge Town Hall Trust. He has spent the last 10 years as general manager of the Ibis and Novotel hotels in Hamilton. He is also president of the Rotary Club of Waikato Sunrise in Hamilton.

Nine schools competed at last week’s Combined Cambridge Schools’ Kapa HakaTheFestival.annualfestival has run for decades in Cambridge but hadn’t been held for two years because of Covid. Students performed at a packed Sir Don Rowlands Event Centre. Watching her daughters Kahurangi and Kaia Quinlan perform at the Combined Cambridge Schools’ Kapa Haka Festival last Friday morning brought tears to Jenna Taylor’s eyes. Kahurangi, 11, took a starring role for Leamington School, singing a waiata with three other girls. Goodwood, Cambridge Primary, Te Miro, Leamington, Cambridge East and Kaipaki performed in the morning, and St Peter’s Catholic, Cambridge Middle and Cambridge High after lunch. Cambridge Middle School principal Daryl Gibbs was at the event with his school’s kapa haka group, Te Kura Takawaenga o Kemureti o Kapa Haka Roopu, and also saw his son Olly lead the haka for Cambridge Primary School.Olly, 10, reckons it was sheer volume that clinched his role as haka leader. “The last practice we did my voice was really croaky and I was voice cracking a lot like this,” he said huskily. “I only voice cracked once in the performance but it was still good.” His dad thinks the annual festival is “probably the best event on the calendar”.“Wedolots of sports events, we do lots of things, but nothing has the same feel as this day,” Daryl said. “I think a big shift I’ve seen in my five years is shifting back to the children sharing the local waiata and local haka as opposed to more generic traditional ones that we’ve had. So just sharing in the learning I think, the local history and honouring our links with the local mana whenua.”

“Not only because it took our freedom, not only because it took our state from us, but also because this war meant millions of victims among Poland’s citizens and irreparable losses to our homeland and our nation,” Duda said.
By Peter Carr FAITH IN WAIPĀ Making amends
shame that reminds us time and again not to forget the crimes carried out by Germany.” He described this time as the “darkest chapter in our history” stating that it still affected bilateral relations. I’ve viewed photographs of the destruction unleashed upon Poland and the sight of them demands justice - to live through the thick of such violations is unimaginable. It seems entirely reasonable and understandable that for reconciliation to be offered by the people of Poland, some basis rather than a glib ‘sorry’ will need to be offered.Itisappropriate at times, for governments to acknowledge wrong decision making and ‘own,’ without justification, the havoc they have wreaked upon lives. Reparations according to the dictionary is ‘making amends for wrongs done, by providing payment or other assistance to those who have been wronged.’ What about at an individual level?
By Murray Smith, Senior Leader, Bridges Church Most New Zealanders probably attribute the significance of September 1 to being the first day of spring. I recently learned that this date holds enormous significance for people in Poland. It is the anniversary of the war that began on September 1,1939 with Nazi Germany’s bombing and invasion of Poland, followed by more than five years of brutal occupation.
We’ve all done wrong. Ultimately, we’re accountable to God. Because we are hopelessly ‘indebted’ and estranged, incapable of doing enough to make reparations, God as the wronged party, intervened with a plan providing complete forgiveness and reconciliation. Christ’s death on a cross paid in full, for our wrongdoing. An exchange took place…our sentence was served and we can be free. Nothing equals that freedom.
Last week’s 83rd anniversary heralded national observances timed to coincide with the release of a startling announcement and the release of a special report. In this detailed report, the Polish government declared its intentions to seek the equivalent of $1.3 trillion in reparations from Germany for the Nazis’ World War II invasion and occupation of their country. A team of some 30 economists, historians and other experts have worked on the report since 2017 to establish the cost to Poland resulting from the years of Nazi Germany’s incursion.Poland’s right-wing government argues that the country, which was the war’s first victim, has never been fully compensated by neighbouring Germany, which is now one of its major partners within the European Union.Thewar was “one of the most terrible tragedies in our history,” President Andrzej Duda said during early morning observances near Gdansk, one of the first places to be attacked in the Nazi invasion.

AGE OF REASON Thinking of summer
My office window frames a damp Monday with snow forecast further south on the Desert Road. A stay-at-home sort of day. Given that the country (in parts) has been experiencing record rainfall we need some cheering up. And what better than to turn one’s thoughts towards holidays in the sun. Currently the holiday-du-jour appears to be the Cook Islands where, round about 1965, Albert Henry took up Robert Muldoon’s generous offer which gave the Cook Islands shelter and support in perpetuity. This was at a time when the Chinese and Libyan governments were indicating money-laden largesse for these (and other) pearls of the South Pacific. Part of my shipping related responsibilities 40 years ago was the regular, freight service to Niue, Cook Islands and Tahiti. The maritime lifeline brought with it the need to visit the customers and government officials in these countries twice a year. Rarotonga in the Cooks was the main recipient of imports and the islands of Mangaia and Aitutaki were the source for New Zealand destined fruit. Aitutaki – in itself a tourism jewel - is famous for possibly the most beautiful lagoon in the world and a huge (or rather two) aircraft runway completions placed there, by the USA, during World War II as a staging point for pan-Pacific warplanes. Usually, every few years a raging cyclone would attempt to wipe out the banana trees. The people there had infinite patience and were, to some degree, sheltered economically by the fact that Albert Henry was born there. The main island which boasts a ‘proper’ runway has a definite charm of its own. My wife, who accompanied me on one of those trips, objected very strongly to being presented with a low power scooter to enable her to tour the island. The objection was not directly traffic related but linked with the distinctive possibility of encountering wandering pigs (wild or family owned) or a flock of chickens. Both of these groups, meandering, loosely unchecked, on the road that encircles theOneisland.ofthe aforementioned cyclones made a strong and gusty sweep across the main island during 1986 this time necessitating my joining a RNZAF Hercules on a rescue mission. Ninety per cent of the island’s power was ‘out’ and the huge ocean wave accompanying the enormous winds had swept through the port, thundered through the cargo shed and depositing the cargo into the harbour. It was adjudged by the Cooks government to be my problem …sigh. Sleeping in the mosquito- ridden aircraft hangar (the only place with emergency power generation) on air force provided camp stretchers - and cooking bully beef breakfast on gas bottle camping stoves - was an accompanying experience. Meeting with the port authority by candlelight to discuss their freight problem was another. We did find the cargo - it was declared as a total loss. These remote through very picturesque islands have a charm all of their own. Far from the heady USA-dominated tourism picture of the Caribbean but, nevertheless, just as attractive to tourists. But always there was need to depend on a larger nation to prop them up from time to time due to the lack of ability to hold and maintain sufficient depth of home-created exports.

By Mary Anne Gill Awamutu children have higher rates of teeth decay than those in Cambridge, according to figures released to The News by Te Whatu Ora the 1262 children aged 0-14 years tested last year for caries rates in Te Awamutu by the former Waikato District Health Board’s Oral Health service, 447 – or 35.4 per cent - had decayed teeth. In Cambridge, of the 1336 children seen, 28.6 per cent or 382 children, had decayed teeth.The News requested the figures because we were confused as to why the Ministry of Health ordered Waipā District Council to add fluoride to the twointothere.theAwamutuwereorwasAct.Drinking(FluoridationthewaterCambridgesupplyundernewHealthofWater)OurinformationthatcariesdecayrateshigherinTeandthatneedwasgreaterAddingfluorideCambridge’swaterplants
Because of the state of the road the speed limit was reduced to 80 kmph five months ago. It will return to 100 kmph. “We know this is a busy road and the repairs may be inconvenient for people in the short-term. But our contractor has a road construction crew available to start so we grabbed the opportunity to bring the works forward,” Braithwaite said.
A submission to the Waipā Recovery Fund in Te Reo Māori cost ratepayers $150 in translation fees.
Waikato.Of
Sally Sheedy, group manager of customer and community service, said that while there is no specific legislation that governs the use of Te Reo in local government, the council chose to accept the submission to recognise Te Reo’s status as an official language of New Zealand. “As we don’t have translation capabilities in house, we needed to procure these services for cost of $150 plus GST,” she said.
Road works will begin early next week on the main road between Cambridge and Te Awamutu.Repairs, expected to take up to three weeks, will be concentrated for around 2km in the westbound lane from Storey Rd. The westbound lane will be closed, and stop-go traffic management will be in place.

Director general Ashley Bloomfield told the council in reaching his 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.” We also asked Te Whatu Ora Waikato for caries rates in Waipā broken down into Māori and non-Māori. Of the 243 Māori children seen in Te Awamutu, 60 per cent – or 147 – had decayed teeth while in Cambridge there were 69 – 46 per cent – of the 150 seen. Cambridge had significant levels of deprivation, Bloomfield told the council lastInmonth.the10-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 Bloomfieldsaid.said he had reviewed the state of Cambridge’s oral health and found it had significant levels of preventable dental decay. Te Whatu Ora Waikato also provided teeth decay figures for Ōhaupō (33%), Pirongia (38%) and Pukeatua (36%) but the numbers seen were significantly below those in Te Awamutu and Cambridge and not statistically relevant. Waipā’s water has never been fluoridated since its introduction in New Zealand 68 years ago. But the authority to add fluoride to water has transferred from local authorities to public health officials.
Council’s operations team leader –transportation, Jennifer Braithwaite said the repairs would fix sinking and cracking of the road. “This is unfortunately an ongoing issue with peat roads in Waipā. Our peat soils tend to dry and shrink after dry summers and that creates an uneven road surface.”
A spokesperson for Waipā council said it had no plans to add fluoride to Te Awamutu’s water supply. That would be good news to anti-fluoride campaigner and Te Awamutu Community Board member Kane Titchener who told council last month fluoride in the water lowered people’s IQ and was a risk to pregnant woman.
Fluoride call still a mystery
“This approach needs to be taken on a case-by-case basis depending on the situation going forward, however we felt it was relevant for this example.”

The Ministry of Health says water fluoridation at the levels used in New Zealand poses no significant health risk. Despite the extensive use of fluoride in New Zealand, health experts continue to struggle to convince the public that is it beneficial.TheNews asked local body election candidates in Waipā for their views – and of 28 responses only nine supported putting fluoride into water supplies.

The Committee heard some neighbours north of the Hautapu Road rezoning have asked that a portion of their land, currently zoned rural, is also rezoned deferred industrial instead of industrial. Deferred industrial means it could not be used as industrial land until a trigger was met, usually having the right infrastructure in place.The Committee said it would not delay the Plan Change, but did provide in-principle support for a variation to proposed Plan Change 17 if those landowners could provide supporting technical evidence, subject to funding. The Committee noted a private plan change pathway is also open to neighbouring landowners if they wanted to pursue rezoning of their land.
The proposed Plan Change which will now follow a statutory public submission and decision process under the Resource Management Act. Submissions will open from the end of the month. Hearing Commissioners for the plan change will be Waipā District Councillors Clare St Pierre, Roger Gordon and Lou Brown. Those councillors did not take part in discussions this week.
Tony Quickfall
Waipā District Council is pushing on with plans to enable industrial development at Hautapu, but it is being met with some resistance.Residents have raised concern that some of the region’s best land is being sacrificed.
Council’s Strategic Planning and Policy Committee agreed this week to publicly notify Plan Change 17 – Hautapu Industrial Zone. The proposed change to the District Plan will open around 55 ha for industrial development.Thechange would also rezone an area north of Hautapu Road from ‘rural to industrial’ by rationalising the industrial zone boundary. This council says that better reflects land use and helps with proposals to move industry out of Carter’s Flat in Cambridge. It also supports the subregional councils’ FutureProof growth strategy. Public submissions have already opened on proposals to rezone Carter's Flat to a commercial mixed-use zone.

Next step for zone change
Council’s district plan and growth manager Tony Quickfall said the growth cell at Hautapu was not originally planned for industrial development until after 2035. “However, a number of non-complying resource consents have already been granted on this land which are consistent with an industrial zone,” he said. “In essence, what’s happening on the ground no longer matches land use, or the demand for industrial land within the Waipā district. This proposed Plan Change brings everything into line and means we can formally align our infrastructure planning for the area to meet demand.”
Authorised by Dr Ursula Edgington, 2 Penny Rd, Pirongia I’ve lived in the Hamilton/Waipa area for the last 27 years, and I’m standing with the Stop Three Waters team this election. Now is the time for your local politicians to stand strongly against the loss of control of your water assets. The Three Waters reform currently being rushed through parliament, must be stopped. The structure and boundaries of the planned co-governed entities are undemocratic. The Water Services Entities Bill removes local control over water management and signals privatisation. Your current standing councillors Stu Kneebone and Barry Quayle have both voted to progress the Three Waters process, and have supported unelected, co-governance appointments. The current issue is water assets. However, RMA reforms are just around the corner. Difficult decisions are to be made, and it will take backbone to stand for a system that is equitable to all New Zealanders, and without Afavouritism.voteforme is a vote to stand against the Three Waters take-over, to support localised solutions for water management, and to encourage a democratic and inclusive Waikato for our future generations.
Early next year, Waikato Regional Councillors will consider handing over $10 million of ratepayers’ money to Momentum Waikato, to fund a social hous ing scheme. Although social housing schemes may be a good idea, Waikato Regional Council is spending your hard-earned dollars like drunken sailors. We must NOT spend hard-earned ratepayers’ money on central government re sponsibilities. Vote for me and I will support the issues that Regional Council should be engaged in. Let’s get this council back to its core business, not social welfare programmes. Vote Clyde Graf for Waikato Regional Council A bit about me I have lived in the Hamilton/Waipa area for the last 27 years. I grew up in and around Te Urewera National Park. I learned bush craft and about our environment, from an early age. In 1997, with brother Steve and father Egon, I started filming and producing outdoors DVDs and TV series under The Graf Boys name. We have been sponsored by many NZ outdoors brands over the years. In 2004, with my brother Steve, I was commissioned by NZ Police and NZ Mountain Safety Council, to produce a feature-length firearms and outdoors safety DVD titled On Target (released in 2005). In 2009 we released our international award-winning documentary Poisoning Paradise. In 2013 - 2016 I was elected to Waikato Regional Council. During my term I chaired the Environmental Performance Committee. Vote Clyde Graf for Waikato Regional Council.
Achievements in Council - During my term in Council our team achieved rates reductions, not increases. We formed the Coromandel Aquaculture Forum, increased regional funding for surf life-saving, delivered increased funding for rural weather bomb events, removed council-collected TB rates, and I led the working group that delivered the result for the Graham’s Creek flood management project. What I stand for - I support farming. I believe farmers need all the help and support they can get, and deserve the carrot, not the stick. I’m opposed to Three Waters, and opposed to unelected, race-based governance appointments. I’m ratepayer focused, not a lapdog. I’m a hard worker, and I get results. I have the backbone to represent the difficult issues, and the focus to deliver tangible and transparent results for the ratepayer. Vote for me, and I’ll work hard for you. That’s a promise too!
Operation Reboot - The $20 million dollar secret blow-out that you’re funding Clyde Graf is running for Waikato Regional Council The Issue of Co-governance / Apartheid Ratepayers Under Pressure - Another $10 Million Sought
Vote Clyde Graf for Waikato Regional Council
THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 8, 2022 CAMBRIDGE NEWS | 9
The spending of ratepayers’ money should be a cautious process. Surely it’s a councillor’s duty to ensure that the ratepayer is made aware of important spending decisions. When making those decisions, a councillor should surely use a strategy that works toward rates reductions, rather than huge rates increases. In times like these, affordability should be on the minds of all councillors. Affordability is espe cially important for those that are struggling.
Vote Clyde Graf for Waikato Regional Council.
Your current standing councillors Stu Kneebone and Barry Quayle have just ap proved the secretive budget blow-out. But more concerning, both councillors have voted to keep the reasoning for their decision suppressed from ratepayers. The same ratepayers that will fund their project for the next 15 years. There appears to be a trend of excessive and reckless spending by councillors Kneebone and Quayle. Both have just approved the 2022—2023 rates increase of 7.7%. That’s on top of the high Inflation rates we’re all facing. I’m standing to represent you, the ratepayer, not the dreams and aspirations of Council policy officers, nor councillors’ pet projects. It’s you the ratepayer that should direct councillors on where your money goes, not bureaucracy. During my term as a Waikato Regional Councillor, between 2013—2016, I was a member of the Rates Control Team. Our decisions returned a rates reduction of -3%. That’s almost 11% less than what your current councillors have just approved. A vote for me is a vote to keep rates down, and to ensure transparency on all impor tant council decisions. That’s a promise! Vote for Clyde Graf for Waikato Regional It’sCouncilatouchy issue, but it needs to be addressed. Co-governance is being introduced by stealth. The current process of appointing people to boards and committees based on race, rather than merit, Is divisive and feels like apartheid. We should be able to raise this issue and discuss it openly, without the fear of being labelled a racist. There needs to be open debate and reasoning so that the public can be made aware of just what is taking place and why it’s taking place. I stand for an inclusive Waikato, where any person can achieve great things - based on experi ence, qualifications, and merit - not race. Vote Clyde Graf for Waikato Regional Council.
Operation Reboot is an information system that is designed to make Regional Coun cil’s work easier. It was first approved by Regional Council in 2019, at an agreed cost of around $10 million. However, as the costs have continued to skyrocket, so too has the desire to keep the justification for the excessive spending, suppressed. What was a $10 million tech upgrade is now a $20 million blow-out - resulting in a 15 year community debt burden. In summary - a $10 million ratepayer project, blown out to over $20 million, to be paid off over 15 years. And given the speed of technology advancement, for an information system that may be obsolete within 5 years.
Cambridge Oakdale facility manager Katie Payne was impressed by the response when she put the call out last month to borrow wedding dresses for a day. She wanted to run a Spring Wedding gala at the Leamington facility so residents could wear them at a Spring Wedding gala. There were more dresses than ladies taking part which meant the women were able to have their choice of wedding gowns. Fifteen residents wore donated dresses for the gala while another wore the same dress she wore 61 yearsCynthiaago. Smith, 86, still fitted the dress she wore in 1961 and was surprised when she walked out to see husband Chas suddenly go down on bended knee to ask her to marry him again. Son Craig livestreamed the event to family members who could not attend.There was barely a dry eye in the house as residents, staff, members of the community and the women who had donated their dresses watched on. One of them was Debbie Ball who was married 22 years ago and saw Irene Moore modelling the dress she wore for her special day. “It’s nice to see it worn again,” saidTheDebbie.music choices added to the occasion. Eileen Adlington, modelling Sherry Ludlam’s dress, entered to the tune of Unforgettable which is what the occasion became when staff reunited her with husband John. Elvis Presley’s Love Me Tender played as Shirley Finucane, 96, who married in 1954, modelled Janet Green’s dress. “The whole wedding event was something special and I can say there was hardly a dry eye from the staff right through to us guests,” saidAndJanet.Robyn Williams danced to That’s Amore while wearing a Cambridge Lions’ Club dress. Maureen Field from the Lions Shed clothing department said she was delighted to be there “to see the beautiful brides of yester year.”Katie said staff were overwhelmed by the community’s response. Many came to the gala on their day off because they wanted to see the ladies on their specialOakdaleday.caregivers Paul Singh, John Ruidera and Jessie Del Valle, each dressed in their finest suits, took turns to accompany the spring brides down the aisle.

An additional river crossing is a complex issue and that has implications greater than just for Cambridge town. The Waikato River has relatively few places to cross it, so a third crossing is about connecting communities across both sides of the river and this must be taken into consideration.

There are many things to consider before committing rate payers to the huge expense of a new bridge, including growth areas, changes to people’s habits and modes of transport, other roading projects in the region and how these will influence traffic movements in and around Cambridge, and more. I support council’s direction to thoroughly research the best option and plan a solid case for Waka Kotahi to assist with funding.

I believe that Cambridge needs to build a third bridge as soon as it is feasible to do so. Infrastructure and connectivity are integral to productivity, access and freedom of movement. None of us want to spend any more time in our cars than we need to, and as Cambridge grows, the need for a way to divert excess traffic from the town centre will be crucial. This goes hand in hand with the planning and development of safe and effective cycleways and walkways to further encourage people to leave their cars at home where possible.

I want to put the brakes on the rush to choose a third bridge in Cambridge. The Victoria St bridge has a life well beyond 2041 and expert opinion is that the existing bridges can cope with forecast traffic volumes. The target to reduce private vehicle emissions by 41% from 2019 levels by 2035 is likely to significantly turn back the dial on congestion.
The isCambridgebridgethirdforonepartof the overall transportation strategy and must be developed in a coordinated way and supported by factual data. This is necessary not only to secure external funding from Waka Kotahi but also to ensure that the location is in the right place as once identified it is likely to have some adverse impacts on some private property rights and these need to be equitably managed. It must be recognised that funding for a third bridge will have an impact on every ratepayer in the district and will be in competition for funding against all other nationally significant roading projects.

There is an opportunity to be grasped by Cambridge to use the review of traffic issues to revamp the CBD to make public transport, walking and cycling so easy you wouldn’t think of using a car. Don’t let third bridge devotees rob you of that chance.
Because the High Bridge is so old, it is reasonable to assume it will have an end date. Even walking across the bridge is scary. Is the Low Bridge suitable for pedestrians? The Low Bridge and feeder roads on the Cambridge side will not cope with the increased flow, should the High Bridge be out of action. I feel sooner rather than later.
I am committed to being the voice of Waipa King Country and bringing your concerns to the table. Through my experience as General Manager of Fieldays and as part of the AgResearch Animal Ethics Committee, I have a strong understanding of the agricultural sector and connection with rural communities. I will be resident in Cambridge from early While2023.itisimportant to address our climate challenges, the rate of change needs to be measured and practical. We need to ensure our region has an appropriate response to Wellington directives. We also need to improve connections between our rural and urban communities via strong transport links.
All of decisionsour no matter how large or small must be evidenced-based. Our 2022 Transport Strategy identified a need for this work to commence and work on a business case has begun. I accept here is a perception council has been slow to progress this matter however the way in which large infrastructure projects are co-funded, detailed planning and proven need based on data is a necessity. It is imperative we pull together a comprehensive and compelling business case with agreed data so as to be successful at securing funding from Waka Kotahi. Without this co-funding it would simply not be an affordable option for all of Waipā ratepayers.
We will clearly need a bridge.newThe timing can be debated (though I favour sooner the better) however we need to make provision for it while we can. For example, if it is deemed best to go in north of the town, if we sit back and do nothing, we won’t be able to get the land to do the necessary work, or else it will be extremely expensive as the subdivisions are going in now. It means spending money now, but nationwide

A third bridge is needed. Costing today is $70 million, in 3-5 years time this will be $100 million. Suggestion is to have all ratepayers pay for it. Rates for the new bridge needs to be on a band system where people who live close by need to pay more compared to say people in Pirongia. NZTA or/and central government need to contribute. The high-level bridge will be out of action due to maintenance as well so will cause more stress on the low level bridge. I believe we should be looking at making the new bridge a toll bridge.

There is a process to follow and at the moment there is no need for a third bridge. In the future there may well be the Thatneed.is why council is doing a Transportation Study to determine when another bridge may be required, its location and how it could be funded.

No.(Mayor)WoodhamsChris I, 100 per cent shouldCambridgebelievenotonly have another bridge, but that Cambridge should have one already. My deepest concern is that council should be further along their planning processes. There is an opportunity to purchase land where a third bridge is most likely best placed and hold that land as council decides the next steps to take. Council have not initiated even that small step. Commuters must already wait in traffic congestion emitting noise and carbon. Further, the east-to-west corridor is cumbersome, while also sending large vehicles through urban areas. We must have a third bridge to ensure the whole of Waipā sees ongoing benefits.
The Ferguson Bridge. there is a lot of cost and a great deal of work required with external organisations, such as Waka Kotahi so it is important that the process is robust, sensible and proceeds at a rate where all necessary parties buy into the project and the project is co-funded. What is key now is the designation of the land for the route and planning is well underway. This will be the biggest single cost of a project for Waipā and we must ensure it is affordable for all ratepayers.

“It’s like taking the pulse of the region, and if you see there is something wrong then you can undertake further tests and analysis and try to do something about it.”
Strategy and Policy Committee members noted that there was a lot of work to do within the region and the report did not show much to celebrate. However, Dr Huser told the councillors that the devil lay in the detail, and the WPI only scratched the surface.
“As the name suggests, indicators are only indicating. They summarise complex data into a single number but often mask underlying issues. Additional data and more detailed analysis is required to provide actionable insights, for example at a local level or about a particular issue.”

A wellbeing report on the state of the Waikato region highlights significant positive and negative trends – with air quality on the plus side, but not much to celebrate, according to Thecouncillors.update of the Waikato Progress Indicators (WPI) –Tupuranga Waikato was presented to the Strategy and Policy Committee meeting this week.

The boardwalk after its $24,000 repair.
The WPI scorecard, which is a summary of 32 environmental, social, cultural, and economic indicator trends over 15 years, showed 12 improving trends, 11 worsening trends and nine trends with no significant change.
The report also compared the Waikato region with the New Zealand average on specific key indicators, with the Waikato ahead in te reo Māori speakers, social connectedness, physical activity, community pride, community engagement, life expectancy and building activity, but below in road safety, crime, regional GDP, income and recycling. Report author Dr Beat Huser said the results of the WPI programme, which annually monitors a range of publicly available data, provided a robust basis to discuss regional challenges and identify priorities for action and partnerships. The results are shared at a national, regional and local level, including the Government, the Waikato Plan, Waikato Wellbeing Project, and Momentum Waikato.
Significant positive trends were seen in road safety, increased building activity, improved air quality, higher average incomes and better educational attainment, while significant negative trends included poorer perceptions of community engagement, more waste to landfill, higher water use and lower frequency of physical activity.
While roadworks take place, the Cambridge to Te Awamutu lane will be closed, with Stop/Go traffic management in place. Once repairs are completed, this section of road will reopen at 100km/h. Thanks for your patience and understanding while we undertake this maintenance. Please expect delays and we recommend factoring in additional driving time.

Storm damage caused to Ngā Roto’s boardwalk in June cost the council close to $24,000 to repair. A storm in June ruptured some of the boardwalk’s floaters and submerged others in mud, causing it to warp.The boardwalk, erected in 2014, was closed for two months until its repairs were completed in late August. Exim Properties Ltd, hired to conduct the repairs, had to wait until the lake’s water level recede before they could begin their work. “When the waters rise, it creates a suction, and the buoys need to be levered out of the mud. In some cases, there may be damage to the buoys.“Additionally, this year we had some lateral movement due to the high winds we experienced. Five of the buoys were split or damaged and required repair,” a council representative told The News. Exim re-floated the boardwalks submerged buoys. The damaged buoys were either replaced or repaired by way of plastic welding.Thecouncil said storms damage Ngā Roto’s boardwalk most years, but the extent of damage caused by June’s storm was a first. The repairs were covered by the council’s maintenance budget and cost them just shy of $24,000. The boardwalk is now open, and a monitoring regime is in place for the boardwalk’s pods to be checked. In any extreme weather event, or when necessary, in winter and autumn, water is also pumped out to prevent further damage. “It’s great to have such a well-loved and well-used facility open again. People love the board walk. It’s a wonderful way to do a circuit of Lake Ngā Roto which is a special taonga for our district,” said Community Services manager Brad Ward.
The Cambridge bureau is one of the most active in the country, she said. Unlike many who shut down during the pandemic, Cambridge operated throughout, with manager Maree Payne and other volunteers fielding calls from home and dealing with problems from around theCarolinecountry.said the Board and team supported the outreach programme, and she was making herself available to give talks to related groups and organisations.
Advice bureau’s new challenge
By Viv Posselt
“We need to help these underrepresented groups in our community,” she said. “The bureau has a massive resource available and it is vital that we assist as many people as possible. Our role is to empower people … to advise them in the broadest sense of the word.”
Caroline said her first year as chairman had been beset with lockdown issues, which meant progressing her plan to plug service gaps was thwarted. She was reelected to the post in mid-August and is determined to gain traction on her three goals.
“Our systems give us good oversight as to how well we are meeting community needs. Every call is logged, with details but not with names. It works as a quality check that enables us and bureau headquarters to know if we’re hitting all the areas we could be and gives us a demographic profile of those we are helping.

“We have identified three sectors of the community that we don’t see enough of … youth, Māori and new-to-Cambridge elderly residents. Those gaps are increasingly evident and that is where our outreach programme will target its efforts.”
Caroline said young people, from around school leaving age to their mid-20s, often found themselves struggling with flatting issues or pitfalls relating to first jobs, employment contracts and the like. She said while some might be accessing assistance via the bureau online, others may not know that free advice is available to them. Māori is another area where the bureau is well-placed to assist, she said.“We have a significant Māori population in Cambridge and it is timely to let them know that we are able to help them with specific issues they might need help with.

We have people here who can offer direction on matters such as Māori land or Trust matters. “The third area of concern is older people who are new to town. Cambridge has three more retirement villages coming on stream. The needs of these residents are different again and we can advise them on a range of things that are likely to impact them.”

Goodwood School welcomed Commonwealth Games track cycling members Ellesse Andrews, Olivia King and Bryony Botha (pictured) last week. Between them the talented trio brought home four gold medals and a silver from Birmingham. The cyclists shared their medals, showed their bikes and answered many questions about their sporting careers. Andrews also talked the students through a big screen video of her Kieren gold medal. “One of the real benefits of teaching and learning in Cambridge is the ready access to inspirational athletes who are so generous with their time.” Goodwood principal David Graham said.
At the meeting residents heard about the benefits of joining Neighbourhood Support and how they could impact their community by taking action to build strong neighbourhood connections. This could be as easy as meeting at a local café or could develop into a strong advocacy group for roading or signage etc in their area.
It’s not only townsfolk who benefit from working with their neighbours. Cambridge Neighbourhood Support also works with rural residents surrounding Cambridge on all sides. Recently we were approached by Tamahere residents who were concerned about crime and suspicious behaviour in the area. We held a small neighbourhood meeting and attendees agreed that the Tamahere area would benefit from a larger gathering where they could hear safety tips from our Community Police Constable and learn about CCTV. These neighbours then set about spreading the word about Neighbourhood Support to their neighbours and a meeting was arranged.

More details: cambridgenews.nz
Deb Thurgood, our local police community liaison officer gave the community advice about staying safe in their homes and what they could do to their properties to deter criminals, (for example, trimming vegetation near the house where an offender could hide). She encouraged the community to report all crime and suspicious behaviour using either 111 (if the event is happening or has just happened) or 105 (if the event is over and offender is likely long gone). Reporting all crime as soon as possible will give the Police the best chance of catching offenders and of preventing further crime. Terry Johnson from Securenet Security Systems spoke about the different types of CCTV cameras available and where to place them to be most effective.
Two residents who are setting up an official Tamahere Community Patrol attended the meeting. They were able to talk to residents who were interested in helping with the patrol.Residents expressed their thanks that a meeting had been arranged and some were grateful that they had met some of their neighbours for the first time.
By Benjamin Wilson Waipā District Council has committed over $13,000 in funds for a counselling in schools programme.Theproject is helmed by the Zion Church Trust and follows a 2019 pilot programme that offered counselling services to eight Te Awamutu primary students. Zion applied to the council’s Community Recovery Fund so that more students could be supported. They asked for $23,000, or enough to support 23 students through 10 counselling sessions. In 2020, Zion conducted a survey of schools in conjunction with Te Awamutu Primary. They found that 10 per cent, or 304 students, from 16 primary schools were referred to counselling services.Intheir fund application they wrote, “we are seeking to engage more counsellors in our service as this would allow us to reach deeper into our community and serve more families and the needs of their children. Currently, we can only hope to meet 30-40 per cent of the assessed need. “The flow-on influence of the uncertainty and instability brought on by Covid and lockdown continues to affect our children and their ability to cope with life and learning.”Thecouncil allocated $85,000 in recovery funds on Tuesday. Zion was granted a partial funding of $13,093, enough to support 13 students.Thecounselling project received praise from council members and was granted the most out of the recovery fund’s 23 applicants. Councillor Roger Gordon was one of the project’s supporters. “There is real a challenge for our youth in their individual circles, with what has happened with Covid,” he said. Deputy mayor Liz Stolwyk also praised the project. “When I think about the covid recovery and the impact that it has had on our community, the counselling in schools really resonates with me. I just see the need,” she said. The project comes just months after Zion announced they were partnering with Habitat for Humanity to help build 40 affordable homes on Te Awamutu’s Racecourse Road.

This is a war memorial, council have been told this and council is charged only to maintain the memorial. No cultural objects here either. Roger Gordon (Cambridge) Unsure. During the Long Term Plan, council heard the concerns of literally hundreds of Te Awamutu residents. I hope that these residents feel that their concerns have been listened to and incorporated into the development plans.
Norris Hall (Te AwamutuKihikihi Community Unsure.Board) The council is responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of this iconic park. It was established to remember those who had fallen in conflict so it should be maintained.
James Parlane Awamutu-Kihikihi(Te and Community Board) No. The park has been neglected over the years and is a mess. It was once the focal point as a place to take children to play. It simply needs to be maintained. Clearly it is being hijacked by council staff who suddenly think they had better do something. I think the “ war” theme is overdone and the “Māori” theme has a place there but not as the main theme. It is a War Memorial Park. We could have a Māori culture park at another purpose-built park. There is plenty of undeveloped park land at present and we need more to be used. David Slone (Cambridge Community Board) DelwynUnsure. Smith (Cambridge and Community Board) Unsure.

It is not a park but a memorial for those who served and died in WW2. Council was “charged” with maintaining the memorial and as they haven’t done that, it suddenly needed a lot of work done to it. Then based on that maintenance changes were proposed. These changes do not reflect the purpose of the memorial. Too many parties are and were involved to decide what changes to be made. Cost to do so are very high where if normal maintenance had been done these would be a lot less.

Gill wins in Hong KongSprings success
A 36-strong team from Cambridge Middle School competed at 30 events at a sports day held at Totara Springs camp in Matamata. The school won croquet, boys’ indoor hockey, mixed outdoor hockey and boys’ indoor football and came second in boys’ basketball, mixed shooting, mixed outdoor football and the cheer AucklandNinecompetition.schoolsfromandWaikato took part in sports ranging from rugby and netball to human foosball and “cage soccer”. Cambridge finished fourth overall.Teacher Danielle Fuller said coming second in the cheer competition was her personal highlight. “The last two camps I’ve organised have had the same cheer but have either been cancelled because of Covid or because we had to go home early, so it was quite nice to actually be able to do it – and to come away with second place was awesome,” she said.
A trip home for two months during Hong Kong’s extended lockdown has paid dividends for former Cambridge golfer James Gill who won the Hong Kong mid-amateur tournament last week. Gill, 37, opted to return to Cambridge in March for two months when New Zealand citizens were no longer required to enter managed isolation and quarantine. While he continued to work on Hong Kong time, Gill practiced at Cambridge Golf Club, the course where he learned the game as a student at St Peter’s Catholic School, and worked out at a local gym. Golf courses and gyms were closed in Hong Kong. By the time he returned in May, lockdown conditions were relaxing, allowing him back on the golf course. Scores of 73, 68 and 73 at the Hong Kong Golf Club’s Fanling course – followed by victory in a playoff - saw Gill lift the midamateur trophy for the third time. He is also a three-time winner of the Hong Kong international amateur golf championships. Gill, a former two-time representative for New Zealand at golf’s Eisenhower Trophy world amateur championships, was named as the non-travelling reserve in the Hong Kong Eisenhower Trophy team which competed unsuccessfully in Paris last week.

Fashion might not be Devon Briggs’ forté, but a fashion event is likely to sharpen his eye for style before he goes to France next month.The18-year-old Cambridge athlete will compete in the 2022 UCI Para Cycling Track World Championships in Montigny-leBretonneux in France from October 20-23. He will ride alongside Paralympics New Zealand team members Nicole Murray, Anna Taylor, Sarah Ellington and Nick Blincoe.Devon, who was born with club feet and has gone through 19 surgeries so far, secured his spot in France by winning four gold medals at April’s Oceania Track Cycling Championships in Brisbane. The UCI worlds in France will be his first major international event. He is juggling a punishing training schedule with study and a part-time job, trying all the while to scrape funds to get him to That’sFrance.where the fashion event comes in. Devon’s mum, ceramic artist Jo Beckett, shared his story with Charlotte Farmer who wanted to help him meet the funding shortfall of around $3500. Charlotte manages Repertoire Cambridge and she agreed to host an event to raise money for him. Other Cambridge businesses have got involved and the September 21 event will also feature a silent auction. “When I heard Devon’s story, it seemed a natural fit for us to host a fundraiser for him,” Charlotte said.

The boys title went to Te Awamutu who beat Hamilton Boys in the final. St Peters held the girls title in 2018 and 2019 – while Cambridge High recorded three successive title wins starting in 2014.

During a trip to Turkey, I spent a couple of days exploring the spice alleys and sampling the street food of Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar. I’m now an avid fan of Turkish fare. So when I received Turkish Fire, a cookbook of street food and barbecue recipes, I was entranced not only with the recipes but the background of the author, Sevtap Yüce. I’m enjoying adding new Turkish delights to my repertoire. But, being the sort of cook I am, I can’t help adding my own little innovations. This sometimes happens because of the difference in even basic ingredients between countries. For example, the type of flour we have in New Zealand is different to flours in other countries which absorb more or less water. The intensity of the spices is greater when purchased fresh from street stalls so I sometimes increase the quantity when using spices from my pantry. Two flavoursome ingredients used in Turkish recipes: Sumac: Prepared from a reddish-purple berry with a slightly astringent, lemon flavour. The seeds are dried and finely crushed and add flavour and colour to rice, vegetable dishes, fish and meats. Nigella seeds: Little black seeds with a slightly bitter taste — a combo of black pepper, oregano and onions. Excellent in vegetable dishes, sprinkled on breads or with curries.

Your photo flashed across the internet recently, in an airline history. You were doing what you loved most, and it bought back special memories. It was also a reminder, however, of that week in Aug 2013 when we were both rostered 6-day duties, you at Auckland airport and myself, to and from Japan. Unbeknown to us, this was sufficient time for the “planned” removal of our home at “The Anchorage”, corner of the old St. Kilda and Thornton Roads. You are missed greatly.
