Autumn fest off

By Jeremy Smith

Cambridge’s Autumn Festival has become another victim of the Covid-19 emergency.

It’s the first time its 12-year history the event - which regularly attracts up to 8000 people – will not go ahead.

Cambridge Autumn Festival chairperson David McCathie confirmed the cancellation this week of the festival which was to run from March 27 to April 5.

“It is with great disappointment that we have to cancel the 2020 Cambridge Autumn Festival but we respect that the health of the public needs to be protected in these difficult times,” he said.

“We are also saddened by the impact this will have on our performers and logistical suppliers. A lot of effort has gone into preparation for the festival and it is unfortunate that many artists and performers will no longer be able to showcase their skills to the community.”

The festival will return in 2021.

On the same day, the Southern Hemisphere’s biggest rural expo, Fieldays, was postponed.

It’s a move that represents the single biggest economic blow to the region yet from Covid-19 coronavirus.

Fieldays was due to be held at Mystery Creek from June 10-13.

It is run by New Zealand National Fieldays Society, a charitable organisation founded in 1968, and in 2019 the event generated $549 million in sales revenue for New Zealand firms - $183 million of that went into the Waikato region.

Last year’s attendance figures of nearly 130,000 people meant each person though the gate in 2019 contributed about $4200 to the economy.

Society CEO Peter Nation said in a statement on Tuesday, “The society stands by the government’s decision to cancel events that draw crowds over 500 in order to stall the spread of COVID-19.”

At Lake Karapiro’s Mighty River Domain, the centre point of which is the Sir Don Rowlands Centre, site manager Liz Stolwyk said three large events were likely to be postponed, as were up to five conferences over the next three weeks.

Everything from conferences, awards dinners and weddings were being postponed, she said.

‘We are a fair way through our event calendar however still have a number to go – we are working through each event.

Our small meetings are all going ahead but anything over 80 people is being postpond until later this year.

“Most of our clients are deciding to postpone their event as it is the ‘right thing to do’”.

The public response to the Covid-19 drama has been profound. Supermarket shelves throughout the country have been stripped of items such as four and toilet paper.

Domestic flights have gone ahead with vastly reduced passenger numbers.

In Leamington FreshChoice manager Helen McHugh has seen a rush on items.

Waipā mayor Jim Mylchreest said Fieldays’ postponement would have a “significant impact” on the local economy.

“The full effect will not be known though until Covid-19 has run its course and the impact of the central government economic package has been put in place.”

Fieldays’ postponement comes after Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced stringent new measures to prevent the spread of the disease.

The Prime Minister said gatherings of more than 500 people should be cancelled.

That applies to sports gatherings and religious events, but excludes school or university events. The Government subsequently unveiled its $12b coronavirus financial package.

Dozens of other events – including sporting and cultural gatherings – were cancelled by organisers following advice from the Ministry of Health, Mr Mylchreest said.

“My advice to people is to use this information to take care of themselves and not take unnecessary risks in terms of exposure at public gatherings.”

Cambridge Chamber of Commerce CEO Kelly Bouzaid said the simplest contingency was to develop a working remotely plan if necessary.

We certainly are in some interesting times. Like most of you, I am closely watching the developing situation around Coronavirus. I think it’s important to follow Ministry of Health and Government guidelines around travel and self quarantining, use common sense and err on the side of caution. If you think you may have been exposed, contact Healthline for advice and keep your distance from others. It’s also a time to show empathy and compassion for others and to support each other where we can.

On a completely different topic, I wanted to touch on Cybersafety. I’ve been working on a case recently where a video of a sensitive nature was shared to a number of different people, without the subject’s knowledge or consent. There are three key aspects to this type of incident. The first is that in this digital age, it is so important to remember that once a digital recording or image leaves your phone/computer, sent to another person, you immediately lose technical control over what happens to it. If you wouldn’t be happy to see it publicly displayed on for example the

CRAVE

Stuff/NZHerald websites or for your family to see it, don’t put it out into the Internet space. Once there it can potentially hang around for years in some format or other. Parents, educate your children about Cybersafety and keep a close eye on their Social Media use.

The second aspect is that under the Harmful Digital Communications Act 2015, it is illegal to send messages and post material online that deliberately causes a victim serious emotional distress. Harmful digital communications can take a variety of forms. They include when you use the internet, email, apps, social media or mobile phones to send or publish threatening or offensive material and messages, spread damaging or degrading rumours about someone and/or publish online invasive or distressing photographs or videos of someone. An individual convicted of an offence against this law faces a penalty of up to two years imprisonment or a fine not exceeding $50,000. In short, if you send a video of someone else to others, and by doing so could cause them emotional distress, you are committing a crime.

hand sanitisers and things like Dettol and cleaning products. It’s clear people are trying to following best practice hygiene advice.”

By the middle of this week New Zealand had 12 confirmed cases of Covid-19 Cambridge News’ regular What’s On column has not run this week as dozens of events have either been cancelled or postponed.

Other events affected include: • Northern Easter Camp at Mystery Creek (cancelled) • Cambridge Grey Power’s April meeting has been cancelled.

• New World Cambridge Netball Centre, postponing fixtures and courses until May 2 • Te Miro School Centenary (postponed until 2021) • Pureora Forest Hunting Competition (cancelled) • The New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, all concerts suspended, including in Hamilton, scheduled for April 23 • YONEX Waikato Badminton International 2020 • Balloons Over Waikato Night Glo • Tonight’s Balloons Visit Waipa (cancelled)

The third aspect is that if you are a recipient of a video or message such as is covered under this Act shared to you by a third party, resharing it means you may be guilty of the same crime as the person who originally sent it to you. The best thing to do is to report the matter via www.netsafe.org. nz and delete the content. Better still, if you have the option to decline to accept transmission of such a file in the first place, do so.

At the core of all this is being aware of how we present ourselves on the Internet, what we share and with whom. It is also about having respect for others, particularly where a video or photo you see or receive, is of someone you know. If you wouldn’t want someone to share something private about you, don’t share it about them. If you do, you could find yourself breaking the law and face the associated consequences.

Until next week, be hygiene conscious and take care.

Resthaven announces Raeburn buy

Cambridge Resthaven has announced it will purchase Raeburn Lifecare resthome in Burns Street, Leamington.

Cambridge Resthaven is a Community Trust not-forprofit organisation which was established by the community over 45 years ago to build a resthome in Vogel Street for Cambridge residents.

It has developed and grown with the community,

while retaining its Community Trust status and community ethos.

Cambridge Resthaven is now home to over 200 residents and provides services in all areas of retirement living, including a retirement village, resthome, continuing care, dementia care and day programme. In the community it provides a home visiting service in conjunction with Age

Concern, and the meals on wheels programme.

“Purchasing Raeburn fits with our strategy for delivering quality care for seniors in Cambridge,” the Chair of Cambridge Resthaven, Kevin Monks said.

“With growing demand for aged care services in our town, we want to continue to offer choices that will meet the various needs of

residents. This purchase will enable us to offer people more choice in terms of resthome location, room size and features, and we are working closely with Raeburn’s current owners Heritage Lifecare to enable a smooth transition for residents and staff.”

Mr Monks said this year will also see Cambridge Resthaven move ahead with development plans at

their Vogel Street premises.

“We have a history of being progressive and we are looking ahead to this next stage. Our point of difference is that we are a 100% Cambridge owned Trust, and we pride ourselves on our commitment to meeting the needs of the local community, with every dollar and everything we do going into providing facilities and services here in Cambridge.”

Cox plate calls into Cambridge

By Jeremy Smith

An iconic piece of silverware raced into Cambridge last week as part of a whirlwind tour of the country.

The W.S. Cox Plate is making its way around selected stops in New Zealand as part of a promotion to celebrate the 100th running of the 2040m Group One race at Melbourne’s Moonee Valley in October.

Last week the plate found its way to Shaune Ritchie’s Cambridge stables – drawing a large crowd made up of everyone from intrigued bystanders to previous winners of the accolade.

Such plate winners included Frank Ritchie, who was there with wife Colleen, and John Wheeler.

Frank trained the gelding Bonecrusher – owned by Peter Mitchell. In an undoubted career highlight, Bonecrusher won the 1986 Cox Plate in what was then dubbed ‘The Race of the Century’ in a photo finish with another New Zealand horse, Waverley Star.

In his career, Bonecrusher raced

Colleen and Frank Ritchie with fellow W.S. Cox Plate winner John Wheeler in Cambridge last week. They were pictured with the Cox Plates they were given at the time of their respective victories – and with the 100th edition of the plate.

44 times for 18 wins – nine of those coming at Group One level.

“I’ve known John for a long time,” Frank said, speaking at the event.

“It’s special to have two friends here together who each have a plate.”

Frank said there was no doubt Bonecrusher was special. “There

are certain things you just can’t train into a horse – they either have them or they don’t – and Bonecrusher had them.”

John trained plate-winning horse Our Poetic Prince, which beat out Horlicks and third-placed Bonecrusher to a Cox Plate title two

years later in 1988.

At the time of Bonecrusher’s Cox Plate win, Shaune was the horse’s strapper and he described the moment of having been beside his dad as the gelding won the silverware as an undoubted highlight of his career.

“At times, I think dad really down plays what it was he achieved with Bonecrusher,” Shaune said.

It would seem too, racing success runs in the family.

Last week, the crowd who saw the plate in Cambridge also got to see a glimpse of filly Jennifer Eccles, which Shaune trains.

Then just days later on Saturday - ridden by jockey Jason Waddell Jennifer Eccles won the 2020 New Zealand Oaks – a Group One race for three-year-old fillies run over 2400 metres at Wellington’s Trentham Racecourse.

The Cox Plate race is open to horses aged three years old and over, under weight for age conditions.

With stakes of $5 million Australian, it is the country’s richest weight-forage race.

Artist give hope to King’s charitable trust cause

By Viv Posselt

Five striking sculptures by Cambridge ceramicist Mariska De Jager were featured as part of the ‘I Am Hope’ fundraiser which formed part of the Tattoo and Art Extravaganza in Mt Maunganui.

She also helped raise funds for the cause by donating one of her sculptures for a raffle, a portion of her sales, and by running a workshop.

Mariska’s figurative sculptures explore the human condition; she turns most of her works into lamps, demonstrating what she described as ‘light showing from within’ glowing through ruptures sliced into the clay.

‘Hope’ is the name Mariska gives to one of her current series.

The extravaganza attracted more than 250 artists. The fundraising segment was supported by The Art Lounge

NZ to raise money for ‘I Am Hope’, the youth and community-focused support group run by Mike King’s Key to Life Charitable Trust, which promotes positive change in schools and communities and funds private care and counselling for young people stuck on lengthy waiting lists.

The issue of mental health is close to Mariska’s heart.

The South African born artist has battled her own mental health problems and said her work often reflects her understanding of it.

She took her first pottery lessons in South Africa. When the family migrated to New Zealand about 13 years ago, they lived close to a pottery studio in Auckland and Mariska took part in a local exhibition. She has worked at Matakana’s Morris & James Pottery, and exhibited in various galleries across the North Island.

She is currently completing her final year in Otago Ceramicist Mariska De Jager with one of her University’s Diploma in Ceramics. light sculptures.

Barry – he’s the drop-in conductor

By Viv Posselt

Barry Goodburn shot up the rankings as a muso of sorts last Sunday. Walking past the Thornton Rd rotunda on Sunday during the unveiling of a plaque marking the anniversary of the Christchurch attacks, he couldn’t stop himself being pulled in the direction of the Cambridge Brass Band.

His interest elicited an invitation from musical director Rob Hocking to give it a go, and Barry promptly took the baton to lead band members through the next number, remarkably without a hitch.

Curiously, the South African import doesn’t have a musical gene of his own. “The only musical instrument I play is the radio,” he laughed. “I don’t play music, I don’t read music, but I am a fan of André Rieu.”

His smiling wife Dawn said Barry does have a predeliction for going around the house ‘conducting’ performances by André Rieu.

Does this mean Barry will be joining the band?

“Oh no, I couldn’t possibly do that. I don’t know anything about it,” he said.

Plaque, messages of hope

By Viv Posselt

A quiet March 15 commemoration in Cambridge marked a year since the Ides of March terror attacks on Christchurch mosques and brought a unifying message for New Zealand.

Just a few people gathered above the Cambridge Bowling Club in Thornton Rd on Sunday morning to witness the unveiling of a commemorative plaque lying at the foot of an elm planted there last year through a Cambridge Community Board initiative. The plaque bears a passage from the Qur’ran in both English and Arabic: “And whoso saveth the life of one, it shall be as if he had saved the life of all mankind”.

Overseen by Cambridge Community Board (CCB) chair Sue Milner, the commemoration started with a karakia by Poto Davies, followed by an opening address

by Waipa District Mayor Jim Mylchreest.

He thanked WDC councillor and former CCB member Philip Coles for organising the commemorative tree, describing it as an eternal reminder of what happened in Christchurch last March.

He welcomed the four Hamilton-based guests representing the Muslim community – Dr Asad Mohsin, Dr Mohamed Bahr, Dr Ahmed Saadeh, and Dr Ziad Thotathil – and said New Zealand had been lulled into a sense of false security before the attacks which killed 51 people and injured many more.

“We cannot afford to forget it. I don’t think the attacks represent New Zealand as a country … we are still a democratic and open country, but that doesn’t mean we are perfect or that incidents like that cannot happen. I believe incidences like that are a

Dr Mohamed Bahr reading the plaque after the unveiling.

symptom of fear. We need to educate people to understand that we are all the same, with the same dreams and ambitions for our communities.”

Mr Mylchreest said Waipa had welcomed people from 85 different countries over the past decade. “I think we are better for that.

I am positive about moving forward … we need to keep working together for all the communities in our district.”

Dr Asad Mohsin said March 15 would be remembered as a day New Zealand ‘lost its innocence’ but as much as it had brought grief and sadness, it had also taught lessons, helped build awareness and brought communities together.

“We want to make sure that no-one’s sacrifice on that day goes to waste. We need leadership that is able to create an inclusive society that transforms our communities,” he said. “It is time to prove that we really are one – today is an example of that.”

The plaque was unveiled by Dr Mohamed Bahr. He said the Muslim community had come to accept that it was probably more closed than it should be, and that was something that needed to change, and was changing.

“There is no substitute for personal interaction,” he said. “If we remain closed, we are open to assumptions about who we are, and Islamophobia can evolve.”

After the unveiling, guests gathered under a nearby tree for refreshments and listened to the Cambridge Brass Brand play from the rotunda.

Philip Coles, who spearheaded the initiative for a commemorative tree, said the day was as much about marking the wave of unifying support that had swept New Zealand following the 2019 attacks as it was about marking the first anniversary of the event itself.

Waipā Council sets rate plan

Waipā District Council is proposing a rate rise which would equate to an average of 4.2 per cent across the district rate for 2021, It compares to 2.7 per cent forecast in the Council’s Long Term Plan.

Mayor Jim Mylchreest said he expected Covid-19 to hit Waipā and New Zealand hard, but said the virus has not impacted what Council was proposing.

“It’s becoming more and more apparent that Covid-19 is going to make life much harder for

everyone. But the onslaught of the virus has come far too late for us to factor that into our thinking for the coming year,” he said.

“The fact is that we have a massive capital expenditure programme ahead of us to build critical infrastructure that we are required to provide. There is simply no getting away from that,” he said.

“On top of that we also have factors like rapid growth, the cost impacts to the way recycling is handled off-shore

and increased regulatory requirements. Add that up and all we can focus on is the really important issues. There is very little leeway for anything else but let’s see if we can revisit that when we start thinking about the Long Term Plan.”

Mylchreest said he was “well aware” that independent property revaluations have seen an average increase in capital value of 24.8 per cent across the district.

Rates are calculated on the capital value of individual

properties, so when the value of one property rises at a greater rate than another, the level of rates are influenced accordingly.

The value of land does not have any impact on the total rate take.

“While revaluations don’t drive rate increases, they will impact on some properties – we’re mindful of that and of wider issues around affordability,” the Mayor said.

“That means we have pared everything right back to focus on the essentials for the coming year.”

New tests on a very old bridge

Resilience testing is being carried out on Cambridge’s Victoria Bridge to assess its condition, vulnerabilities and life expectancy.

The work, which began last week, involves a series of tests on the 115-year-old high level bridge to measure its strength and assess if and when work is needed.

Tests include ground water level monitoring, geotechnical investigations and drone survey work.

Testing, which is being carried out by Waipā District Council consultants BECA, is expected to take a further three weeks.

There will be no disruption to traffic.

Council transportation manager Bryan Hudson said the work would give council a comprehensive understanding of the state of the bridge.

“The bridge was designed and

Cambridge’s Victoria Bridge is 115 years old.

constructed in 1905 and opened to the public in 1907, so it is a very old bridge that has been used for a long time,” he said.

“It’s important for us to look at its condition and assess its future life expectancy and make sure we are prepared

for any future work.

“While we undergo this testing, residents can expect to see a drill rig at each end of the bridge which will be used to investigate the soil below. There will also be contractors abseiling off the sides of the bridge while they conduct visual surveys.”

Mr Hudson said the bridge would also be assessed on its ability to withstand natural disasters such as an earthquake or severe storm.

“This is vital because it will provide an indication of whether work is required on the bridge in the immediate future, especially given that it will be repainted in coming years and scaffolding will be placed on it. Knowing the longer-term maintenance need will also help us consider our options.”

The results of the survey will be presented to council by mid-2020.

Out of uniform

Head girl Hunter Ludlam and year 11 student Bastiaan Banks showing some colour

By Matteo Di Maio

The aim was to “brighten up the world”.

That was seemingly achieved last Friday as Cambridge High joined schools across the country in sporting colourful clothes to mark one year since the Christchurch massacre.

“It’s about keeping that harrowing day in our memories,” said CHS Head Boy Tommy O’Brien, who helped organise CHS’ efforts.

Friday’s mufti day, which raised $1600 at Cambridge High, formed a part of a nationwide initiative in remembrance of the attacks.

The school held a similar event last March, raising more than $2000 for Cashmere High School, which lost two students in attacks.

“I think as a school, we responded very respectfully,” said CHS Head Girl Hunter Ludlam.

Money raised from this year’s NZ-wide school mufti days will go to St John.

“I think it’s something that as a nation, we could’ve said: it’s a terrible event, … we’ll move on, but instead we’ve decided to keep this as something we’ll keep on remembering,” Tommy O’Brien said.

Waipā fun run eyes tenth year

By Jeremy Smith

Jeff and the Runners won the 5km team event, followed by Where’s Olly and Cogswell Survey.

Cambridge’s Angela Hancock won the 5km women’s race and Matthew Jordan, also from Cambridge won the 5km men’s event. Jonny McKee was the 10km men’s winner and Kendall Turner was the 10km women’s winner.

Each school that entered more than 10 people also went in the draw to win $500, and this year’s winner was Kaipaki School.

The Lugtons Waipa Fun Run is now on the “exciting” road to marking its first decade next year and organisers are looking to do “something special” to mark the occasion.

The 2020 event was held in Cambridge on Sunday and drew 577 competitors.

“That’s a little bit down on previous years,” one of the event’s organisers, Donna Warwick said. “But we’re really pleased with how the event went and we have had some

really positive feedback.”

Competitors took part across several categories – including a 2km Schools Challenge, a 5km teams event and individual 5km and 10km races for both men and women.

A weight off their minds…

By Viv Posselt

A state-of-the-art lifting hoist now in operation at Cambridge Resthaven is making life a whole lot easier for both residents and staff.

The hoist – called the Ergolet Overhead Lifting System – was officially handed over last week by Cubro equipment specialist, McKenzie Clare. He said the in-built overhead lifting system was the most effective and safe way to move residents and had been shown to significantly reduce strain and injury to carers.

Friends of Resthaven have led the last two years’ fundraising efforts to raise the $10,000 needed for the purchase of the hoist and the installation of rails to which it attaches when in use. Ongoing fundraising will enable the roll-out of rails to continue into more rooms within the complex.

Friends of Resthaven chairman Philip Coles said of that amount, $4000 came each from the Lions and Jumble Around, with another $2000 coming from a Friends of Resthaven raffle.

Cambridge Resthaven general manager Rachel Jones said the new system was something of a game-changer. “Because it takes all the weight on the rails, it is making a tremendous difference, both in terms of residents’ safety and staff welfare.

It is definitely the way to go.”

Philip said fundraising for the lifting system had been a priority for Friends of Resthaven as the group moved towards celebrating its 50th anniversary next month.

Friends of Resthaven started out helping to raise funds to build the initial Resthaven complex. When the Cambridge Resthaven Trust took that over, Friends of Resthaven’s focus changed to fundraising to supply ‘extras’ for residents.

Members of the group make and distribute birthday and special occasion cards to residents, provide Christmas gifts, help supply materials for the men’s shed and the craft room, and raise funds for other areas of need.

The anniversary on April 29 will be marked with a celebration at Resthaven’s Quiet that will include photographs and video footage on the group’s history. Philip said anyone with a past or present association with Friends of Resthaven was welcome to join residents in celebrating the half century.

Another regular Friends of Resthaven fundraiser, the Easter Raffle, will kick off on March 31, with the first prize a doll’s house currently being made locally. The second prize will be a food hamper valued at $150.

Tickets for the Easter Raffle will be on sale at FreshChoice Supermarket from March 31 and April 7, at Countdown on April 2, and at The Warehouse on April 3 – between 10am and 4pm on all four days.

More details on the Friends of Resthaven’s 50th anniversary celebration are from Philip Coles at Philip.Coles.nz@gmail. com.

Choc full of generosity New growth cell feedback caught

By Jeremy Smith

He hasn’t eaten one since 1985, but that hasn’t stopped this Cambridge pair ‘egging each other on’ while they go on a townwide Easter egg hunt.

And it’s all in aid of “doing something nice” for the community.

Pierre Syben and Lois Alexander are collecting Easter eggs - which Salvation Army representatives will collect on Monday and then distribute to children in the community.

They’ll then be dispensed in time for Easter.

It’s the second year the collection has occurred - Pierre, 95, sparked off the initiative last year, because he felt it was needed.

And now it’s back - but this year Pierre - who lives at Bupa St Kilda Retirement Village and Care Home - has been joined by Lois in the collection efforts.

She recently moved to the village too.

Pierre said his goal was to top 2000 eggs this year - and as the y Cambridge News was due to go to . print a final tally was unavailable.

But it looked likely this number would be topped.

“Last year when we did the first collection, I couldn’t bear the thought of some children in Cambridge not having an Easter.”

When on the street hunting for eggs - essentially garnering support from Cambridge businesses, Pierre

said the response has been overwhelmingly positive.

“They’ve all been very generous.”

He said he wanted to say a big thank you to those who had donated eggs.

Lois said she had come on board to help Pierre this year because she loved what the initiative had meant to Cambridge.

“It’s such a nice idea.”

Pierre said Lois’ help with facilitating the collection this year had been invaluable.

“She’s been amazing.”

Village manager Debbie Brown said other residents had also supported the pair’s efforts, happily donating eggs to their cause.

“Our residents are always looking for ways they can be out there supporting the community.”

Lois Alexander and Pierre Syben with some of the Easter eggs they have collected to give the community this year.

Public feedback is being actively sought on plans for a new growth cell in Cambridge.

The area in Leamington between Lamb Street and Cambridge Road, bordered to the north by a gully, is known as the C4 growth cell. In Waipā District Council’s 2050 growth strategy, development in the cell is scheduled to start before 2035.

The new growth area will be completed in stages and when finished, will include 500-600 new houses.

Council’s strategy manager Kirsty Downey said Council had developed a draft structure plan for the new area, showing what could be included and where. The planned development would help “balance” the town which had already seen extensive development in the north, she said.

“At this stage, what we’ve developed is similar to a draft floor plan, showing what’s being considered in terms of roads, a commercial area and amenities like parks and cycleways,” Downey said.

“The draft floor plan has been developed in conjunction with mana whenua and some local land-owners.

But now it’s time to open that draft up to the wider community before final decisions are made and the structure plan is formally endorsed

by Council.”

Downey acknowledge some people might not want further growth in Cambridge but said Council had no choice but plan for it.

“High-growth councils, like Waipā, are required by central government to plan for and provide for growth. We can’t just say no so our focus must be on ensuring we plan and manage that growth in the best way possible.”

The draft structure plan for the C4 growth cell includes a new gateway to create another entrance for Cambridge plus road changes to improve safety and connectivity.

There are new pedestrian and cycling paths signalled as well as a gully edge reserve plus two additional parks.

A commercial centre where Lamb St currently connects with Cambridge Road is included in the draft plan with feedback being sought on what sought of commercial activity should be allowed.

A new four-leg roundabout is planned to deal with the projected increase in traffic.

Council will take public feedback on the draft plan until April 2, either online at waipadc.govt.nz/ haveyoursay or via hard copy booklets available at Council offices or libraries.

Once feedback is received, final recommendations will go back to Council.

OPINION

Let’s get the lessons right Leamington historian Murray Reid argues that history teaching is important – but the lessons must be accurate.

Our history should be taught in schools, but I fear it will frequently lack the truth, because the teachers themselves lack experience in the subject and will rely on history that has been much revised over recent years.

Revision may have a political motive and usually slanted negatively against our colonial background.

There are many examples, but for the purpose of this exercise let’s look at the

history of Rangiaowhia. My grandchildren are direct descendants of a family central to the village.

Today, popular history says Rangiaowhia was the place where 100 or more women, children and elderly were herded into a church, locked inside and burnt to death. One prominent newspaper columnist puts the number at 144. This tale has been repeated by many over the years, some quite notable people who

probably know better or are willing to believe the worst.

I have researched the history of the village and have found no evidence that a massacre took place. I can cite many published pieces that prove the modern myth cannot be true. Certainly, there were deaths, on both sides, but absolutely no evidence that any women or children lost their lives. An eye-witness said a woman and her son were allowed to leave the place where all the

law.

Today we understand that Rangiaowhia was a large and thriving village, cultivating land that supplied produce to Auckland and Australia. But if the focus is only on that one morning in 1864, then we ignore the prosperity of the previous 24 years. Prior to 1840 the land around Te Awamutu was in its natural state, with extensive swamps and scattered small villages. The area was in recovery from the musket wars that ravaged the region over previous years. Waikato Māori were both victors and victims during that terrible time.

Missionaries Morgan and Pezant arrived in 1841 and 1844 setting up missions in Te Awamutu and Rangiaowhia. Both devoted themselves to education and farming. With significant help from Governor George Grey by 1850 over 525 hectares were under the plough and the population was about 700. Grey

Murray Reid

supplied much agricultural equipment, horses etc. but most importantly he sent Thomas Power to work with Rev. Morgan to instruct local Māori in modern farming methods. Grey was extremely popular in the district and visited Rangiaowhia twice during his first term as Governor.

By 1863 Grey had returned to New Zealand and was challenged by Māori King Tāwhiao. Grey considered the king to be in rebellion.

Negotiation failed and Grey sent Cameron’s army south. The Waikato war had started.

I have always loved art and was always drawing as a child. I have painted in all mediums.

At the moment I am using water colour, but I am painting in oils at my home because it can get messy when carrying the painting around.

I like to paint the New Zealand landscape especially the South Island as it is so beautiful. I am enjoying my time at the Cambridge Art Society,everyone is very friendly so I will soon make friends there.

I am loving Cambridge - it is so attractive with all the trees around.

lives were lost.

The truth is all those killed were in or around a large whare that had a sunken floor, described by soldiers as a gun pit. A soldier entered the whare inviting the occupants to surrender.

He was shot dead at point blank range. Ten Māori and five soldiers died. The whare also caught fire. Some say deliberately, but most military historians suggest that burning wadding from muskets fired from within was the more likely cause.

In 2015 Otorohanga school pupils petitioned Parliament, seeking formal recognition of the New Zealand Wars and to have New Zealand history taught in schools. Their catalyst was a visit to Rangiaowhia where they were shocked to learn from a kaumatua, advisor to the Māori King, of “innocent women, children and the elderly being burnt alive”. The Māori Affairs Select Committee heard their petition. Their wishes are now part of New Zealand

OPINION

We can do it – but only when it suits

By Peter Matthews Interesting times. I refer, of course, to the currently rampaging Covid-19, or coronavirus and the various responses to it around the world. Large parts of Europe have effectively closed, and North America appears to be in the process of doing the same. New Zealand and Australia have just introduced isolation requirements for all international arrivals, and I read that the Irish government has asked all pubs to close ahead of St Patrick’s Day - it must be bad.

And it is - this is a

pandemic. The governments of the world are acting decisively and immediately to deal with the threat.

Why is that happening?

Well it’s happening because anyone with access to the media, and capable of rational thought, can see that there is a real and imminent danger of widespread death and suffering unless something is done about it - and quickly. And it’s not only the health issue; at this early stage the economic ramifications can only be guessed.

All of which begs this question: if we can turn the world on a sixpence because

of coronavirus why can’t we do it in response to climate change?

It is my opinion that, serious though Covid-19 is, on the currently available evidence, climate change presents a far greater threat to humanity as a whole.

So why the disparity in the responses? I think the answer lies in the relative immediacy of each situation.

Coronavirus is going to kill people within the next few days and weeks, so governments have no option but to deal with it.

In contrast even the most immediate effects of climate change aren’t going to be

lethal on a global scale before the next election wherever that may be. So it’s all about politics and power once again. The politicians can parade and posture all over the media about how important climate change is and what must be done, all the while avoiding any real hard cost, or overly unpopular policies. Those things can be left to their political successors and good luck with that. In fairness there is some great progress being made by some governments (and local authorities) but it’s not enough - yet - and they all know that.

OPINION

As I’ve said before though, my belief is that the one true saviour of the planet will be cold hard economics and it is already happening. Look at the rise of meat alternatives and vegan options in the supermarket aisles, the emphasis on renewable energy, electric cars, and the bad press being heaped on fossil fuels and those who burn them.

But still the response to climate change is developing gradually, whilst the response to Covid-19 is immediate. Lesser evil sooner gets more attention than greater evil later.

Maybe a silver lining to

Peter Matthews

the current cloud might be the realisation, on the part of governments, that the people can take it; humans can achieve remarkable things especially when it is a matter of survival.

Can we stand the heat?

Robin Smuts-Kennedy offers some advice on community involvement and conservation.

It was the hottest and driest summer we have experienced since coming to Cambridge 25 years ago. What was new this summer for New Zealand was the intensity of the heat, our lack of rain and the torrential rain down south. The question for us is: are we doing enough to live well – along with animals in our care - in the face of such intense heat and rain?

Is our water infrastructure fit for purpose now that the population of Cambridge is growing so fast? Waipā Council has been

pro-active in installing water meters and upgrading our water treatment plant.

The Council is organising community barbeques in Cambridge to encourage local residents to have their say about how our community might develop over the next 10 years. This is our chance to tell the council how important it is that we have appropriate storm water infrastructure to collect rainwater and a policy to hold it for domestic or commercial use, perhaps storing it in aquifers. We need a national policy to

require grey water systems in all new urban residences, and a plan for retrofitting older houses. It is well past time to encourage private residences to have a tank for water storage. This needs policy and oversight and the council can speak on our behalf to national government, so have your say at www.waipadc.govt.nz.

We can also lower our water use in the garden by improving our free draining soil.

Adding compost and mulching heavily in Autumn should help the soil retain water

in summer. Cambridge has a mountain of leaves. I am going to collect as many as possible, layer them with lawn clippings and cabbage tree leaves to make leaf mould for mulch. This should be ready in around seven months if aerated and moistened. I am also going to shred leaves finely with the lawn mower and dig them into shallow trenches in the vegetable garden with a sprinkling of blood and bone.

Hopefully this will mean a smaller water bill next summer and a bountiful garden.

Rangi carves his story

By Jeremy Smith

Cambridge has a hidden taonga who is fast carving out a name for himself.

Rangi Wills has been practicing the art of whakairo - the traditional Māori art of carving in wood, stone or bone - for more than 30 years.

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 and I can help you though the whole process.

Before he moved to Cambridge a few years ago, his work featured at Te Papa in Wellington and in the World of Wearable Art and Classic Cars Museum in Nelson.

Rangi began learning whakairo when he was 16 and completed a two-year apprenticeship under Bill Rawhiti.

“He taught us everything - and all the meanings that go into the process. Each and every cut has a story,” Rangi said. “The best thing, for me, is when someone sits down and tells you their story.

“Then, from that, you come back when it’s finished and they’re just beaming - that’s the best bit. Seeing them crack a big smile.”

Rangi said he’s likely carved “thousands” of pieces - ranging from intricate work with cuts smaller than a 10 cent piece, to traditional weapons and even large stone and wood pieces.

The nature of the specific whakairo dictates how long the work takes, he added.

“In my case, I have kind of specialised in bone. The hardest part of the process is actually drawing the design onto it.”

Likely the most unique work he’s completed is a Fender Stratocaster guitar, which he carved the entire body of, based on the story he was told.

He sells his pieces mostly through word of mouth, or at Auckland’s Gallery Pacific.

Given story telling is the essence of Whakairo, in a moment of vulnerability, Age said his life story - and some of his difficulties - have informed the way he approaches his art form.

December marked 10 years since he completed rehab for and has since stayed clean - from an addiction to Marijuana.

“See, I wouldn’t be who I am now without my story.”

FRIDAY MARCH 20, 2020

Cambridge’s Adrian Rangi Wills with some of his most recent whakairo, carving, in both wood and bone.

During rehab - at Auckland’s Higher Ground - he said stats indicated about 16 percent of people “end up like I did, having a problem with it”.

He said only three percent seek help - one percent stay clean.

“I was told at Higher Ground that three out of 30 people stay clean and those were - at that time - the best statistics in the world.”

Rangi wants to use his journey and subsequent story to inspire others.

In his own life, whakairo has been “really, really good for being therapeutic.”

In whakairo, Toi Iho is the registered and globally recognised trademark of quality and authenticity of Maori art and artists.

Rangi said when living in the South Island he was just the third person whose work received such accreditation.

Since rehab, he has become a Tohunga Whakairo, a teacher of carving - because it’s “important the love of his art passes on to the next generation.

“It’s pretty special when you have the opportunity,” he said.

Monday: the school goes bush Every Monday during the school year, Te Miro School’s 26 students “go bush”.

The school, 15 minutes’ drive from Cambridge, has access to a small block of bush land – so students, staff and its community don’t have to venture far to enjoy nature.

Principal Michaela Phillips says the Monday morning Bush Class is eagerly anticipated by the students, who range in age from five to 12 years.

“Well-being is a strong strategic goal for our school and this weekly ritual has clearly been a way to settle children into a week of routine after a busy weekend,” she says.

It allows them to talk with each other on the walk to the bush then we split into three groups – Environmental Sustainability and Diversity, Health and Safety, and Bushcraft and Survival, when over a period of weeks they work through levels of difficulty. The end result is a wilderness camp for Year 7 and 8 without parents.

The initiative is proving popular, she says: “The students love Mondays. A survey last year of showed 93% look forward to Monday’s Bush Class, 60% said being in the bush made

them feel happy and calm, and 93% feel comfortable in the bush. It has become our safe place of learning.”

The school began its environmental journey more than a decade ago, as an early participant in the Enviroschools programme, achieving Green Gold status in 2008. The Monday Bush Class, combined with predator trapping guided by former primary school teacher Graeme Porter, further enhances an “authentic learning opportunities” kaupapa driven by staff.

“For children to be curious about something, they need to know a little bit about it or have experienced

it,” Michaela says.

“Weaving conservation and environmental learning into the curriculum has been easy - science, maths, literacy, tikanga Māori, digital technologies, art and health and physical education are all covered during a Monday Bush Class. It is meaningful to them and seamless.”

Graeme came on board in mid-2019 and approached contacts within the Department of Conservation for support. Several different models of traps placed, with the data collected from the traps provided to the Trap.

NZ database.

“Graeme has been a wealth of knowledge for

us,” Michaela says.

“He has brought in other community members to help us set up our trapping lines and set up a production line with our students so we could make our own.

He has been able to lend taxidermy animals from DOC so we can identify the animals in our traps, and he regularly comes to our Bush Class, ensuring things are done properly - the vehicle to help us to sustain our progress.”

“It’s a lot of fun!” says Graeme, who has worked with several Waikato and Waipā schools on what he describes as “very rewarding” projects. “It’s empowering the next generation to look after the land, and that’s the key aspect.”

And although trapping pests may make some children squeamish, that’s not the case with the Te Miro School students.

“It has never been a difficult topic to address as the learning done beforehand about why the animals are pests and why our birds and fauna are suffering had the right effect,” Michaela says.

“Our school mascot is the kereru and we have nursed a few here as they

live and fly around our school daily. The children will do anything to protect the kereru. Parents in the Te Miro village are also very keen to become a part of our trapping routine so I presume a lot of learning is also reinforced at home.”

Michaela believes other schools can embark on similar conservation journeys by harnessing the passion of staff and given them the freedom to develop programmes and activities.

“See what difference being in nature makes to the mental health of

your students,” she says.

“Share your findings with their parents and your community and don’t be in a hurry to work it all out.”

Te Miro School’s ongoing efforts reflect the Government’s Predator Free 2050 Strategy, announced

by Minister of Conservation Eugenie Sage earlier this month. Local collaborations are seen as crucial to the success of the strategy, which speaks to a collective vision of flourishing and abundant wildlife and forests.

Predator Free 2050 aims to mobilise people and resources, engage people with innovative predator control methods and tools, and accelerate deployment of predator management methods. It presents an opportunity to shift from working individually to collectively, involving multiple agencies and organisations whose work can be aligned.

Māori values, principles, practices and knowledge are integral to the predator free kaupapa, and the recently announced strategy was developed with input from iwi, technical experts, scientists, environmental groups, communities and the public.

Weasels take the bait Why they are here

DNA tests will determine whether two weasels trapped in the a predator-free enclosure at Lake Rotopiko were siblings.

If the weasels, about six months old, were brother and sister, then it is possible their mother is still inside the exclusion fence.

The National Wetland Trust caught the two weasels – but it took a while. After detecting weasel footprints on their tracking cards last November, the Trust volunteers put out about 30 traps.

“Catching the weasel was crucial to the Trust, who are developing a haven for native wetland birds inside the Rotopiko fence,” Trust Executive Officer

Karen Denyer said.

After almost four months with no catches, the Trust changed tack and tried something novel.

“We tried every type of food lure we could think of, but what finally worked was the scent of a larger predator.”

Within a week they caught not one, but two weasels. Volunteer Dan Howie found the weasels, which were collected the next day by another volunteer, Brian Gordon.

An autopsy performed by Dr Kim King of Waikato University revealed that one was a male, one a female (not pregnant), and both about six months old.

The Trust is hoping to get DNA tests done to see if they are related, which might indicate they were born from a single pregnant female that got into the reserve. If that’s the case, there may yet be more to catch.

The superlure, currently being developed by Manaaki Whenua Landcare Research, is based on the scent of a larger predator, such as a cat or ferret. While it’s not yet known exactly why the weasels would be drawn by the scent of a bigger predator, it may be a case of “the devil you know” – finding out who else is out there that may compete with or even prey on them.

Having foolishly unleashed rabbits onto the New Zealand countryside, early settlers compounded the blunder by introducing mustelids ferrets, stoats and weasels – to catch them.

They were first introduced in the 1880s and immediately found a smorgasbord of native animals who had lived in a virtually predator free world, to dine on.

One hundred and forty years on, mustelids remain a major threat to the survival of New Zealand’s native birds and animals.

Flightless birds Prime and birds that offenders – the ferret, nest in holes, stoat and weasel. such as kaka, Illusration: are particularly Waikato Regional Council. vulnerable.

Mustelids are a major threat to chickens being raised on lifestyle blocks and in urban backyards.

They will also target pets such as guinea pigs or rabbits. Ferrets can carry bovine tuberculosis (TB) and all mustelids carry parasites and toxoplasmosis, which can cause miscarriages in sheep and illness in humans.

Mustelids are found in diverse habitats including fertile pasture, rough grassland, tussock, scrubland and the fringes of nearby forest (forest fragments) and wherever there are high numbers of rabbits.

In the Waikato, ferrets and stoats are more common than weasels.

Mustelids’ greatest impact on our

native species occurs when their primary prey such as rabbits and rodents becomes scarce. This is particularly so in relation to their effects on the numbers of kiwi, penguins, wading and perching birds, lizards and invertebrates. Even in low numbers, mustelids can have a major impact on these animals and our native biodiversity.

So how do they differ?

Ferrets are the largest of the mustelid species. Males grow up to 44cm and females up to 37cm in length. Theor undercoat is creamy yellow with long black guard hairs that give the ferret a dark appearance. Legs and tail appear darker than the body. The lighter facial region has a dark mask around the eyes and across the nose.

Stoats have long, thin bodies and smooth pointed heads. They are smaller than ferrets. Males grow up to 30cm and females to 25cm. Their ears are short and rounded, their fur is dark brown with creamy white undercoat. Stoats have relatively long tails with a bushy black tip.

Weasels are the smallest and least common mustelid in New Zealand.

Males grow to about 20cm. Their fur is brown with white undercoat, often broken by brown spots. Their tails are short, brown and tapered.

Anxiety workshops a godsend

By Steph Bell-Jenkins

In her first year of teaching last year, Georgia Moore was amazed to discover how many of her students were suffering panic attacks and experiencing crushing anxiety.

Most of them were girls.

“They were stressed and overwhelmed, and they were only 10 years old,” Moore said.

“That broke my heart.”

That inspired the 26-year-old Goodwood school teacher to develop “goddess workshops” – a school holiday course designed to empower girls aged 8-13.

“There are four half-day sessions involving yoga, breathing techniques, mindfulness, lots of fun, lots of storytelling and lots of opportunity for girls to be girls through play, creativity and crafts,” Moore said.

“We will also focus on forming a girl tribe.

I’m a big believer that girls should support girls. And we should start teaching and role modelling that while they’re young, so that moving into the teenage years they’re supporting and encouraging each other and celebrating each other’s successes.”

Moore went to all-girls schools growing up and clearly remembers the angst she experienced near the end of primary school.

“In year six, when I was around 10 years old, there was the whole comparison to one another,

the cattiness between the girls started to kick in, and I had lower self-esteem,” she said.

“I would have loved to have had these life skills taught to me.”

The Goodwood School teacher, who has a degree in child psychology and a masters degree in education, describes herself as “really driven, really motivated, and passionate”.

“I just have this fire in my belly to help these young girls and I won’t stop.”

She is confident the results of her course will speak for themselves.

“I’ve trialled parts of the programme with students and the successes I’ve had so far have been really validating,” she said.

“There was a little girl who was 10 at the time, and just from the small amount of information I taught her she blossomed and became much more confident. She wasn’t having panic attacks anymore, she knew the breathing techniques...and I noticed her interactions with her friends changed. She suddenly became a lot more vibrant and wanted to engage in activities and she laughed more and she just went back to being a kid, which is what it’s all about.”

Goddess workshops will run in Cambridge for the first time from April 20-23 at Fencourt Hall next to Goodwood School. To register visit goddess-workshops.com or email georgia. Goodwood School teacher Georgia Moore has goddessworkshops@gmail.com. created workshops to help girls deal with anxiety.

Karāpiro School students had two spectacular days experiencing the thrills and spills of sailing and cycling at Lake Karāpiro last week.

The Volvo Sailing Team were brought in to teach students how to set up, their sailboats and the students honed their sailing skills over the two days, building up to using all their courage to capsize their boats and then re-set for sail. The ‘perfect’ weather conditions meant the students had an easy start, with a tethered lesson, moving through to ‘real sailing’ independently.

Anton Barr from Project Energise was on hand to teach cycle safety, supplying helmets and cycles for each student. Anton worked with students through a series of safety drills and ended their session with a long ride down the Karāpiro cycleway together.

Principal Tina-Maree Thatcher says the school was proud of the resource in the school’s backyard. “We share our school name with the Lake Karāpiro and we are now realising our strategic plan which is to engage with the rich resources our local community has to offer our students,” she said.

I’m really proud of the way our students have engaged with their new learning in outdoor environment, operating well outside of their comfort zones.

Races behind closed doors

Race meetings are being conducted as “closed door� events from this week as part of the industry response to Covid-19.

The only people permitted to attend meetings will be raceday jockeys, trainers, stable staff and race day staff.

The three racing codes collaborated to develop protocols to ensure racing could continue in light of the government’s recommendation around gatherings of more than 500 people.

New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing, with the support of the New Zealand Jockeys’ Association, has also told jockeys

not to accept riding engagements between Islands. “We have the support of our recognised industry organisations – the trainers, jockeys and owners – along with our racing clubs to take whatever steps that we can to provide an appropriate framework to allow racing to continue. We recognise that these are extraordinary circumstances and they require extraordinary action,� New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing chief executive Bernard Saundry said.

NZTR will raise weights for all races by two kilograms

New Zealand-trained gallopers enjoy lucrative autumn campaigns in Sydney and Melbourne but the next wave of raiders face unique challenges as the impact of Covid-19 takes hold.

Australia has copied the 14-day self-isolation period for anyone arriving in the country to try to halt the spread of the coronavirus.

While New Zealand horses can step straight into Australia and compete, they will be without their regular handlers unless they were one of a handful of stables that have already got staff and horses based across the Tasman.

Gr.1 New Zealand Derby (2400m) winner Sherwood Forest and third placegetter Scorpz, were amongst a shipment of horses set to travel to Sydney from Auckland this week.

The pair are set to contest tomorrow’s Gr.1 Rosehill Guineas (2000m) as a lead-up to the Gr.1 Australian Derby (2400m) a fortnight later.

The flight was postponed by 24 hours. “The hold-up was just over the professional grooms getting clearance to be classified as crew, so they can come in and out of Australia and New Zealand. They have had verbal clearance, but the airlines want written clearance. “I am probably one of the few lucky ones. Marshy (Stephen Marsh) and I have got an established base over there. “Mark Hills was over there with The Bostonian and Not An Option and I picked Chris McNab (foreman) up on Sunday and sent him back over the Tasman before the

isolation period came into effect. “Aaron Kuru was going to go over on the plane with Sherwood Forrest and Mark was going to come back, but obviously that is out of play now. Mark and Chris are over there now, so we are okay with our established base.�

Stephen Marsh’s racing manager Todd Pollard is also ensconced at Rosehill, having taken Elisa Carolina over and he is duly awaiting the arrival of high-profile stablemate Scorpz.

The powerful Te Akau team is headed in Australia by trainer Jamie Richards’ father Paul who has now moved north to Sydney with Melody Belle joining Te Akau Shark and Probabeel.

Pike said the strange circumstances had also led to the Kiwis looking after each other even more than usual and banding together. “I had Brent Taylor (owner) ring me to see if we would take Two Illicit over and just slot into our team as Roger James (co-trainer) can’t send any staff over as they would have to quarantine. “Stephen sent Todd Pollard over last Sunday, so there is Chris, Mark, and Todd over there with five horses and it looks like Two Illicit will end up coming to our base as well. “We are okay, it’s just going to be a bit of a shambles when the guys come home. “Two Illicit will stay in Roger’s name and we will just have to train them over the phone. “I am lucky to have Chris McNab over there, that is part of

the reason why I sent him over there. “He knows the horses a well as I do. We will just talk over the phone. It’s not going to really be any different if I was there or not.�

Pike is pleased with Sherwood Forest and will also have last start Gr.1 Canterbury Stakes (1300m) winner The Bostonian contest the Gr.1 George Ryder Stakes (1500m) on Saturday. “The track is not going to dry out and get hard by Saturday you wouldn’t expect so we should get conditions to suit. Te Akau Shark looks very hard to beat but it’s a million dollar race and he is going in with a genuine each-way chance again.

Specialist Enhances Skillset at Medical Centre Cambridge Medical Centre director, Dr Fayez Khalil, places a high value on being able to provide people with comprehensive medical services that are both accessible and affordable.

His own expertise extends to providing skilled minor surgical work, including vasectomies, skin graft procedures, circumcisions, and the removal of hydroceles. Procedures are done in the dedicated and well-equipped onsite theatre and are limited to those that can be conducted under local anaesthetic.

Dr Khalil is currently doing multiple surgeries a week, with referrals coming from all around Cambridge and from as far afield as Te Awamutu. “I do them in addition to my normal work as a general practitioner,� he says. “It is considerably less expensive for the patient to have minor surgeries done here than it is for them to go into the bigger centres and is much more convenient for them.�

The Egyptian-born, trained in general surgery and urology, joined Cambridge

Medical Centre a year ago, bringing with him extensive clinical experience in both general practice and surgical work.

After gaining his initial qualification at Cairo University, he completed specialist training in Ireland and attained his Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons. Dr Khalil worked in various places in the United Kingdom for almost 20 years before he and his Irish-born wife, Bernadette, and their two sons migrated to New Zealand 11 years ago.

He became a Fellow of the Royal College of General Practitioners of New Zealand and worked in Matamata before moving to Cambridge.

Being able to offer minor surgeries onsite is a major plus, he says. “It’s a real service to the community. There is no need for everyone needing a minor procedure to be sent to a specialist when we can do the job just as efficiently right here.�

Thurlow calls time on Glory Days The racing career of Group One winner Glory Days has come to an end.

The daughter of Red Giant won 10 of her 32 starts and gave trainer Bill Thurlow some of his biggest moments in racing.

Glory Days had a standout 2018-19 season, recording seven wins, including the Gr.1 Auckland Cup (3200m) and placing in the Gr.1 Sydney Cup (3200m).

“She has been brilliant,” Thurlow said. “She has done everything we have asked of her. She is just feeling the effects of it I think and it’s just time to let her be a broodmare.”

“Last season was a big highlight. Everything she did was brilliant. Winning the Avondale Cup (Gr.2, 2400m) and Auckland Cup (Gr.1, 3200m), and even the Waverley (2200m) and Wanganui (Listed, 2040m) Cups, it was great.

“It was very satisfying to get my first Group One with her in the Auckland Cup and she was super in the Sydney Cup. She went a huge race from well back in the field.

“We were very proud of what she achieved last year.”

Having recorded two pleasing results in two of Australasia’s Group One two-mile races, Thurlow was keen to add a third and set his mare on a path towards the Gr.1 Melbourne Cup (3200m) in November.

However, things didn’t go to plan for the Waverley mare, recording fifth placings in her first two Melbourne runs, including the Gr.3 JRA Cup (2030m) at Moonee Valley, before disappointing when finishing ninth in the Gr.2 Herbert Power (2400m).

Her Melbourne Cup aspirations were cut short after that run due to a suspected paddock accident.

“It just didn’t work out for us in the spring and she ended up with an injury,” Thurlow said. “She is seven now and sometimes they don’t get over those things as quickly as you would like them to.”

Glory Days made a raceday return in February, finishing unplaced in the Gr.1 Haunui Farm WFA Group One Classic (1600m) before the curtain came down on her racing career with a fourth-placing in the Listed New Zealand St Leger (2600m).

“I was a bit disappointed with her run in the St Leger,” Thurlow said. “She is way better than that and she is not quite letting down. She probably hasn’t got over her Melbourne trip as well as we had hoped.

“It’s just time to call it a day on her raceday career.”

Thurlow believes she will make a great broodmare and

discerning breeders will have the opportunity to add her to their broodmare band in the coming months.

“She has won over every distance – 1200m, 1400m, 1600, 1800m, 2000m, 2200m, and two miles,” Thurlow said.

“She couldn’t really do anymore to enhance her prospects as a broodmare because she was just a brilliant racehorse. She had a great turn of foot and could run great sectionals.

“From talking with the owners I understand that she will be sold on the open market.”

Glory Days came into Thurlow’s stable as a juvenile and he said she has taken her connections on a great ride.

“We leased her out of the paddock as a two-year-old.

“In her early days she was very frail, there was not much of her and she just took a bit of time really. But once she developed she was away.

“We had a really great couple of years, but every good thing comes to an end.” – NZ Racing Desk

Kelsos plan twin strike Group One performed mare Supera may be joined in next month’s Gr.1 Fiber Fresh NZ Thoroughbred Breeders’ Stakes (1600m) at Te Aroha by emerging stablemate Levante, giving Matamata trainers Ken and Bev Kelso a two-pronged attack on the fillies and mares feature.

Levante suffered her first defeat in five starts when beaten into second in Saturday’s Gr.2 Wellington Guineas (1400m) but lost no admirers after turning in a colossal performance after bombing the start.

The daughter of Proisir missed the start by eight lengths, but she was able to make up the lost ground and stormed home late through the pack to finish second, a long neck away from Gold Bracelet.

Ken Kelso was proud of his filly’s resolve and was philosophical in

defeat.

He said the horses surrounding her in the gates were fractious ahead of the start and he believes that distraction was the major reason Levante missed the start.

“You don’t see horses miss it by eight (and do what she did) especially in a Group race. I thought it was all over at that stage and I thought if she ran midfield it would be quite a good run.

Kelso has been pleased with Levante since her return home and said he will sit down with her owners to discuss the remainder of her autumn campaign, with the New Zealand Thoroughbred Breeders’ Stakes a distinct possibility.

“Australia is off the cards now because of the virus. But we have got a couple of options and the Breeders’ is one and there is the Cambridge Breeders’ (Gr.3, 1200m) at Te Rapa,

dropping back to 1200m, but that is six weeks away.

“The New Zealand Thoroughbred Breeders’ is three weeks away so we will be wanting to make a call by the end of this week in which direction we are heading.

“It is going to be a good field because there will be Supera, Avantage etc. I think she could be up to it, but we will have a discussion with the owners and see where we are heading.”

While Kelso is still contemplating Levante’s path, Supera has pleased the Matamata horseman since her thirdplacing in the Gr.1 Bonecrusher New Zealand Stakes (2000m) at Ellerslie earlier this month.

“She had a quiet week and she has started to work up again now and I am very happy with her. – NZ Racing Desk

“

BNI to me is a meeting of mind like business people where you can seek advice and help on how to improve your business, and also members acceptance of you personally and your business ethics, will refer business to you from them personally and from people who they know.

Steve Haggie – Treetown Insurance

“

When I joined Cambridge BNI in 2015 (not sure of date we opened Gavin sorry) my business was unknown in Cambridge but thanks to the networking and referral system used in BNI my business is flourishing. I can personally recommend joining BNI to grow your business as it is sound base of like minded people.

“

Becoming a new business owner 10 years ago was pretty scary at first, all the unknown, risk taking, employing staff etc. I was encouraged as being a New business owner to join some form of business networking group. I had the privilege 5 years ago of joining the Cambridge BNI Chapter. I met and networked with some amazing business owners that have been in business for a long time and they were able to give me guidance and support. BNI for me is one form I can share my business with like minded owners and for me to refer their business with confidence and support.

I believe in BNI so much, that I’ve been a member for 18 years (this June). BNI has grown my business over the years through word of mouth referrals, but more importantly provided me with a team of ‘qualified and trusted’ members who I can confidently refer to my clients, family and friends. I love the philosophy of ‘givers gain’ – and love watching the member grow in confidence, but more importantly watch their businesses flourish with the support of our chapter. The friendships and knowledge that I’ve gained over the last 18 years is immeasurable, and I’m proud to now call members friends also.

MARCH 2020

Minister gets the dry facts

By Jeremy Smith

“It’s a matter of sticking together, continuing to do the right thing and making sure we get the life and family balance right.”

Cambridge dairy farmer Rob Pollock’s comments come as Minister of Agriculture Damien O’Connor last week visited Owl Farm - a demonstration farm at St Peter’s School - on the same day the Government announced a $2 million drought relief fund and declared the drought in the North Island and parts of the South Island a “largescale adverse event”.

Owl Farm was one of the locations the minister came to see, as in Rob’s words “bugger all rainfall” and a soil moisture deficit prompted the move.

Mr Pollock said in his case the “perfect storm” meant no-one on his farm was untouched.

“This reminds me of the terrible time we

had in 2008,” he said.

“What we are going through effects everyone on the farm - maybe in different ways based on the job it is they do here, but we all feel it.”

These days, Mr Pollock helps run the family dairy farm on Victoria Rd - started in 1957 by his grandfather - alongside his father Craig and brother Andrew.

Even with all those years of experience, “it’s just been difficult. It most certainly has its ups and downs”, he said of life on the 180 effective hectare, 670 cow farm.

“In February, we just had nothing to speak of in terms of rain - maybe 10mm - and then when you hear of people further down the road having between 18mm and 22mm, that’s just hard.”

He said the Government’s announcement of the drought relief fund was the right move.

The $2 million includes addressing the fact that drought coordinators - and more of them - were needed, establishing a feed

working group, expanded psychosocial support, animal welfare information and expertise and professional advice for recovery.

It comes on top of about $300,000 of support the Government has already freed up.

The last large-scale adverse event classification for drought was in 2013, with the latest funding support in place until next June.

At Owl Farm the minister, accompanied during his visit by Rural Support National Council Chairman Neil Bateup, said farmers were facing an uphill battle.

“We’ve had some rain, but not nearly enough - we still have severe moisture deficit. Farmers face about 18 months of playing catch up.”

Mr Bateup - a farmer himself - said farmers reaching out and supporting each other was a key factor in helping their counterparts through trying times.

Owl Farm, a demonstration operation at St Peter’s, has had to dry off its herd about three weeks earlier than other years.

Owl Farm held its latest farm focus day on Wednesday and manager Jo Sheridan - joined by Tom Buckley, told the News, they’d had about half the rain fall to date in 2020 than in the same time last year.

Since the start of the dairying season – which they register as May 1 – Owl Farm had had only 563mm of rain, Jo said.

Normally by this time of year since May, the farm could have recorded anywhere up to 1200mm, she said.

“It’s not just the fact we’ve obviously had a dry summer – we in fact had a dry winter, so we went into summer with very dry soils anyway.”

“We’ve probably had to dry off about three weeks earlier than we normally would,” Mr Buckley said. “Decisions we make now in this challenging environment can have a flow on effect into next season.”

“It’s important we’re all here to support each other, support is the biggest thing,” Jo added.

Barry calls stumps on Ōhaupō project

By Jeremy Smith

A green-fingered Ohaupo garden and tree enthusiast wants to see his world-first life’s work continue to grow – but knows it’s time for that to happen under the watchful eye of someone else.

Seven years after he finished it, and with more than 30,000 visitors having been through its doors, Barry Cox is selling his property which features his iconic and world-renowned TreeChurch.

It’s a creation thought to be the

only one of its kind in the world.

“The body is just telling me it’s time, but I know I’ll never replace how special this is,” Barry, who turns 70 next year, said.

He has been lovingly tending and carefully crafting the landscape of what now greets busloads of visitors to the roughly two-hectare property since he moved there in 2005.

Initially starting life simply as a passion project, “because I’ve always loved trees”, the TreeChurch and surrounding

idyllic gardens were first opened to the public in 2015 – but those wanting to see them in person need to do so fast.

Under current ownership, the venue will only remain open to the public each Sunday until early next month.

“Really, initially I just wanted something special here, away from the rush of society with peace and tranquillity - and I think I’ve achieved that.”

Barry said he’s always had a love of trees - he sold a tree business

The church is a spectacular sight from the air. he ran three years ago - and a wide range of species make up the structure of the TreeChurch which seats about 110 people.

The trees that make up the church are trimmed about every couple of months to keep them pristine.

“When I was looking to do something, I thought to myself ‘I don’t know of anyone who has a church made of trees - let’s do that’”.

Most visitors to the church and surrounding property have been from overseas.

Much of that can be attributed to the power of social media, Barry said - with traditionally, high numbers of visitors have made their way here from Australia and The Philippines.

“Oh yes, at its height I’d say there

would be about 20 weddings here each year - people come from all over the world.

“I can’t really tell you how it works, but social media has been massive for me in terms of marketing and getting the word out there - one Youtube clip alone has about 1.1 million views.”

Looking ahead, Barry will in fact have a hand in seeing that a legacy of sorts continues.

He recently had a visitor to his property from England, with a special purpose in mind.

“She’s looking to do a similar TreeChurch back home where she lives, so I’m using my experience with what we’ve created here to help her make what she has in mind a reality.”

Federated Farmers has congratulated the Reserve Bank on a “decisive monetary policy stimulus” in response to the worsening economic situation The Bank has cut the Official Cash Rate (OCR) to 0.25%.

“We also strongly support its decision to delay implementation of its tougher requirements for bank capital to help the banking sector support the economy,” Feds President Katie Milne said.

One bank has already agreed to immediately pass on the lower OCR rate to borrowers and early this week Federated Farmers called on

Since 1978 Bailey Ingham has been a one stop shop for all your financial needs.

Experts in providing farmers and businesses quality professional advice in all aspects of accounting and taxation planning - including GST, FBT, Individual/Employer PAYE, - Succession planning and family guidance - Trust administration and advice

other banks to follow suit.

“We’re pleased to see the Government has signalled its intention for substantial action.

“A broad-based fiscal stimulus is needed not just to support the businesses and workers in industries directly hit by the response to the Covid-19 outbreak but also more generally to provide confidence to consumers and businesses.”

Federated Farmers said the Government should follow the Reserve Bank’s lead by deferring a wide range of policy and regulatory impositions coming down the pipeline “that will harm the economy at the worst

possible time”, Milne said.

This includes policies on freshwater management, climate change, biodiversity, RMA reform, minimum wage, immigration and others.

“What’s needed is policy certainty, to give the primary sector and the business community generally a muchneeded boost in confidence to keep operating, keep staff employed, and keep investing.”

Also unhelpful would be the potential doubling of emission prices to $50 per tonne envisaged under the current ETS Amendment Bill.

“When businesses and consumers are doing it tough, the last thing we need

is extra impost,” Milne said.

Another early and vital action Federated Farmers proposes is a temporary waiver on the requirement for migrant agricultural workers to return home for 12 months before their expired visa can be renewed. This will reduce the infection risk of new and returning migrant workers and make sure we have the experienced workers we need in our key export industry.

“The primary sector is still our export powerhouse and it will become even more important for our economy and wellbeing as the tourism industry goes through an extended downturn.”

LIC’s Israeli plan goes to the vote Voting has opened on an LIC proposal to make a strategic investment in Israeli agritech company Afimilk.

It follows a series of regional meetings for LIC shareholders who were given an opportunity to quiz Chief Executive Wayne McNee and Chair Murray King questions about the proposal.

LIC is considering a 50% investment – costing $108.7 million – in the company.

The purchase would be funded primarily through new debt under LIC’s

current facilities and the company says it intended the investment to be selffunding via projected dividend streams.

Voting runs to April 7, when shareholders can vote in person at a Special Meeting on at the LIC Tempero Centre in Newstead.

At the time of the announcement of the plan, King said the investment would give LIC access to the data it needs to deliver superior herd improvement services and agritech for

Working today for a cleaner tomorrow

New Zealand farmers and improve access to on-farm technology.

“To do that, it’s vital we keep our world-leading edge in pastoral dairy farming data, while broadening access to new information to meet future needs and challenges.

The proposed investment in Afimilk will do both.”

He said the investment would help drive future growth by opening LIC’s access to data on other farming methods beyond pastoral held by Afimilk.

Savabeel mare sets online record

A thoroughbred auction record was set this week when the China Horse Club bought Hasahalo (pictured) for $670,000 on gavelhouse.com.

The daughter of Savabeel won the Gr.1 New Zealand 1000 Guineas (1600m) for trainer Stephen McKee and her Go Racing syndicate, in addition to the Gr.3 Eclipse Stakes (1200m) as a juvenile, while she also boasted placings in both the Gr.2 Wakefield Challenge Stakes (1200m) and Listed Karaka Million 2YO (1200m).

The price eclipsed the previous online auction record set when Group One-winning mare Consensus also sold on gavelhouse. com to Yulong Investments for $622,500 in December.

“She’s a standout physical that was a Group winning two-year-old and runner up

in the Karaka Million,” China Horse Club bloodstock assistant Michael Smith said.

“She was then able to train on at three and add a Group One Classic to her resume. She’s a great addition to the China Horse Club broodmare band.

“She’s by New Zealand’s Champion Sire in Savabeel and is from a beautiful family with the speed and precocity to go early and the progressiveness to train on.

“Being out of an Encosta de Lago mare who was out of a Blue Diamond (Gr.1,1200m) runner-up by Danehill gives her a potent genetic makeup that we are looking forward to breeding from.”

Despite uncertain economic times care of the spread of Covid-19, the online platform has again demonstrated its global reach.

“Obviously we are very grateful to Albert Bosma of Go Racing and his team of owners for giving us the opportunity to sell a mare of Hasahalo’s calibre,” gavelhouse.com general manager Haylie Martin said.

“As we saw with the sale of Consensus back in December, Hasahalo attracted bidders from around the world, once again showcasing the cut-through of the gavelhouse platform.”

Go Racing’s Albert Bosma was pleased with the outcome of the sale and was delighted to see the now five-year-old mare purchased by China Horse Club who will

Flavours

with Jan Bilton

The taste of passion Passionfruit were first discovered around 1700 in the jungles of Brazil by a Jesuit priest. They were named the ‘Passion of Christ’ because the plant’s flower resembled religious symbols.

An alternative name for passionfruit, granadilla, literally means ‘little pomegranate’. The interior of the passionfruit, which is full of little black seeds, is vaguely similar to that of the pomegranate.

Botanically, passionfruit are a berry and there are many varieties. Kiwis are most familiar with the purple-skinned passionfruit which has the most concentrated flavour. They are at their sweetest when the skin starts to wrinkle. Store smoothskinned fruit at room temperature until wrinkled, then refrigerate keeping them as dry as possible.

About six passionfruit provide half a cup of pulp.

The fruit are rich in vitamin C and low in calories.

One of the best ways to preserve passionfruit is to combine one cup of pulp and one cup of sugar. Bring to the boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar, then pour into sterilised jars and seal.

Passionfruit pulp can also be frozen. Mix three tablespoons of sugar with one cup of pulp. Pour into ice cube trays and place in the freezer. When solid, turn out into a plastic bag and seal.

PASSIONFRUIT BURNT CREAM

1 cup each: cream, milk 1 teaspoon good vanilla essence 4 large egg yolks 1/2 cup caster sugar 3-4 tablespoons passionfruit pulp brown sugar Slowly bring the cream and milk to boiling point.

Add the vanilla essence.

Beat the egg yolks and the caster sugar, until light. Strain the milk mixture into the egg yolks.

Stir in the passionfruit pulp. Pour the mixture into six small ramekins or four larger ones.

Preheat the oven to 160°C. Place the ramekins in a roasting pan. Threequarters fill the pan with very hot water. Bake for 40-45 minutes, until just set. Cool and refrigerate.

The mixture should be chilled before glazing.

When required, sprinkle the tops with a full layer of sifted brown sugar. Blow torch the tops or place under a preheated hot grill, until the sugar is just melted.

Excellent served with fresh fruit on the side.

Serves 4-6.

PASSIONFRUIT MESS

A take on Eton Mess. Gluten-free and gorgeous.

You can change out the peaches for other seasonal fruit such as nectarines or kiwifruit.

1 cup cream 1 tablespoon icing sugar 2-3 passionfruit

Love it to the Mac’s Peter McCashin was a trail blazer for New Zealand beer lovers.

The late former All Black – and Piopio publican - is the Mac in Macs beer, and broke the LionDB market strangehold when he launched the brewery in 1981.

When he sold it to Lion Breweries in 1999, observers might have expected the beer giant stuff up the label. It didn’t happen. Macs is my favourite mid-priced New Zealand beer, not least because it continually evolves and adds new offerings.

It first hooked me with Sassy Red – my personal choice for well over 18 months after it came out. Then came Hop Rocker – and Green Beret, an outstanding brew. After I dallied for some time with Moa’s superb Session Pale Ale (the towers of Moa boxes containing my cds and old football books were testiment to just how long) I was tempted to try the Mac’s American Pale Ale, Interstate,

LIDO CINEMA

and it’s been my goto beer now for more than two years.

So for the latest Good Local beer session with David and Gary, I had them sample the new Mac – the dry hopped pilsner Miss Conduct.

It was given the seal of approval by my better half over Christmas, so it was a no brainer that this would go down well. Macs have yet to sell this by the dozen – they should.

We followed that with the APA, which again, was greeted warmly – but the final offering from David, coincidentally the aforementioned Moa session pale ale, was deemed by him to be too malty.

Not me though. I still reckon it’s a brilliant drop – we just served it in the wrong order.

The McCashins reopened their Marlborough brewery and now produce the Stoke range – its facilities have also been used by Moa. We’ll talk about those great ales another time.

Smith eyes Austria

FRIDAY MARCH 20, 2020

By Jeremy Smith

Cambridge’s Jessie Smith was understandably pumped on Saturday.

The current elite junior BMX champion saw off stiff competition at the Red Bull Pump Track World Championships qualifier in her home town to claim overall honours in the women’s event.

Held at the Velosolutions Pump Track on Dominion Ave, the qualifier saw riders converge on the track from all over New Zealand and the world.

Competitors were vying for the hotly contested first-place prize of a free trip to compete at the UCI Pump Track World Finals, to be held in Austria in September.

One ticket each was on the line for the men’s event winner and the winner of the women’s event.

Cambridge’s 2300 square metre track opened in December and is thought to currently be the only track of its kind in the country suitable to hold such a qualifying event.

Pumping involves riding a bike around the track without pedalling – movement is created by up and down body movements.

Smith claimed her win, just ahead of London Olympic medallist Sarah Walker.

Competition was stiff all day and current New Zealand elite women’s BMX champion, Te Awamutu’s Rebecca Petch was third.

“I was just there to have fun really and it was epic,” Smith said of her win.

“I was talking to a few people and they all agreed that the Cambridge track is the best they have ever ridden.”

“I was so gutted for Sarah when I saw she rode off the track, just ever so slightly. When I saw that happen, I knew all I had to do was get in a clean run.

Smith said she was excited about what her win her in Cambridge meant.

“I’ve never been to Austria before and it’s going to be amazing getting to test my skills against the best in the world.”

She’s relatively new to the world of pump track riding, but by all accounts she’s hooked.

In both events, the top four finishers qualified for the pump track world championships – and in the women’s event Smith, Walker and Petch are joined by Manon Veenstra in having secured qualification at the worlds in September.

In the men’s event, the winner was current elite national BMX champ Michael Bias. Runner up was Cambridge’s Bennett Greenough, while Jayden Fleming took third and King of Crankworx leader Bas van Steenbergen was fourth.

Waipā Mayor Jim Mylchreest said having an event of such a high calibre at the track so soon after is opening was impressive.

“It really is all credit to those who helped make it a reality,” he said.
