Winston on a winner By Jeremy Smith

Racing Minister Winston Peters has called New Zealand’s first synthetic racetrack the chance of a lifetime after his first look at it. The deputy Prime Minister was joined by New Zealand First MP Clayton Mitchell at the $13 million facility under construction at Cambridge Jockey Club on Tuesday. Horses are due to start training on the synthetic surface by August, and Mr Peters has lauded what having the completed track will mean for both Cambridge and the wider racing industry.

Funding for the country’s first synthetic track, based at Australasia’s largest training centre, came from the joint efforts of the jockey club, the Government’s Provisional Growth Fund and the Racing Industry Transition Agency (RITA). A subsequent $72.5 million racing industry Covid-19 emergency support package announced by Mr Peters includes $20m for similar all-weather tracks at Awapuni in New Plymouth and Riccarton in Christchurch. “It is the chance of a lifetime,” Mr Peters said after viewing the progress in Cambridge on the same day the

country shifted to Alert Level 1. Asked why he wanted to be racing Minister, Mr Peters had a straight-forward answer. “You either love horses or you don’t,” he said. “To me, the relationship between mankind and horses has always been one of those unexplained love affairs. Horses love racing and competing.” “There’s a lot of excitement about it, the facility will be state-of-theart - world class,” Cambridge Jockey Club CEO Mark FraserCampin said of the track after

Mr Peters’ visit. Club president Bruce Harvey said having the synthetic track was fantastic for Cambridge and the racing industry. “Given that we are the biggest training centre in Australasia, it makes sense for us to be leading the way and improving our facilities,” he said. Cambridge Jockey Club has 10 training tracks and can host up to 1200 horses a month. The first race on the soonto-be completed 2000m synthetic surface is slated for next May.

Winston Peters, New Zealand First MP Clayton Mitchell and Cambridge Jockey Club CEO Mark Fraser-Campin discuss the new synthetic track early on Tuesday morning.

Half a century ago I started a veg garden. Things were different then, we did a lot of digging, used a lot of chemical fertilisers and rotated crops. Times have changed - gardening is a science and there are now many ways to absorb new information. A You tube composting video showed there is no need to turn it. I find turning compost really satisfying but with four large bins time saving methods are welcome. You use a piece of reinforcing rod, slicing through the layers to aerate the compost, regularly stabbing all over the heap. To my surprise, this worked. The compost had to be moist so when I emptied the kitchen peelings the liquid went with them. I also began saving water in the sink. Running the tap to get hot or cold water wastes water, so I saved this in 10-litre watering cans, by the back door. This provided water for pot plants and watering new layers of leaves and cuttings in the compost bin. The compost matures in around five months. In April we also made a compost heap on one of the garden beds instead of growing a green manure crop. When spring comes, we will add blood and bone, lightly fork it through, and the soil will be ready to plant. No digging, no barrowing compost! Several websites I’ve read lately state that crop rotation is not necessary if you are a home gardener who regularly applies compost. A farmer who plants acres of a mono-crop cannot micro-manage the soil, but home gardeners completely replace their soil over time, and grow a multitude of different plants. Trying to grow seeds without a crop of weeds? A farmers market salad crop grower puts compost on the bed then disturbs the soil for 12 days so that most weeds appear and are dealt to before seeds are sown. Red root is a weed we have never managed to get rid of. Wondering what the flocks of goldfinches in our garden were eating, I consulted ‘The Field Guide to the Birds of New Zealand.’ red root is a favourite food in autumn and winter. We now have a garden patch dedicated to red root.

On the beat with Senior Constable DEB THURGOOD Taking care at Level One

The announcement that we were moving to level 1 will have been a big relief to some, yet a source of anxiety for others. Where ever you fall on that spectrum, remember that self care is important. Be kind to yourself and keep in mind your work life balance. These are still not normal times. With increased numbers of people in shops, there is an increased possibility of shoplifting. Research released in 2019 estimated the annual cost of retail theft at around $3 billion across Australia and New Zealand.. Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design is about designing the physical environment to deter and disrupt criminal activity. For retail stores, CPTED techniques include installing an audible buzzer to alert you to anyone entering the store, or in bigger retail stores, the stationing of a “customer greeting” staff member at the entry. Once inside, ensure there are clear lines of sight across your store. Aisles that are oriented lengthwise from the checkouts/ counter, provide staff with best visibility into the store and reduces the opportunity for criminals to be out of sight behind shelving. Install good external and internal lighting and invest in CCTV cameras covering both areas. Be mindful that the weakness of cameras positioned at ceiling height is that an

offender’s face can easily be obscured simply by wearing a baseball hat. For this reason, position at least one counter side camera at head height. Ensure access to the rear of the store is secure and any external chillers and storage sheds are securely locked at all times. Locating a sign at the rear of the premises indicating only authorised access is also a good idea. Attentive staff can be the best deterrent too. A person intent on shoplifting does not want to be the subject of any close attention. If something feels off, follow your instinct and take note. Consider reviewing CCTV as soon as possible to check the person’s activity in store and report any thefts to Police. With CCTV digital storage often overwriting itself within a two to four week timeframe, it is important to export any relevant footage and save it for future police use (upload it to the 105 portal too). Keep up the reporting. The next step is to improve communication within our business community. If you want to chat about retail crime prevention, please get in touch. Until next time, stay safe.

We’re down to Level One – and politicians say we should bring international air travel back to Waikato.

Flights to Oz: is the time right?

Waikato’s airport should get back to being international and work on getting regular flights to Australia. That’s the call from the chairman of the Waikato Regional Council Russ Rimmington, who said the opportunity post-Covid is too good to pass up. And it follows a similar hurry-up from the airport’s major shareholder. Waipā mayor Jim Mylchreet told the Russ Rimmington News he was supportive of international flights returning to the region, but it had to be sustainable. “I’m certainly supportive of bringing tourists back to the district to help reinvigorate the industry.” Hamilton has a turbulent history in the trans-Tasman market – current Hamilton City Councillors Ewan Wilson’s Nuts and Cola service launched more than a quarter of a century ago showed it could be done. Air New Zealand took on Wilson’s burgeoning Kiwi International Airlines with Freedom Air. Kiwi Air’s collapse was chronicled in a book Wilson wrote, Dogfight. Low cost Freedom flew until 2008 before being absorbed by the national carrier and it has been eight years since a passenger flight left the Waikato for Australia. Earlier this year the Hamilton City Council’s Economic Development Committee told the airport’s chairman and chief executive, Barry Harris and Mark Morgan, they wanted to see international air services encouraged. This week Morgan told the News that he believed the airport company and the councils were on the same page. He said Waikato Regional Airport Limited (WRAL) was receptive to international flights returning to Hamilton and, pre-Covid, “our plans were to proactively investigate any opportunities in the 2021 financial year”. Rimmington says the time is ripe for Hamilton Airport to talk to Air New Zealand about reviving a three day a week service to New South Wales and the Gold Coast. “No matter how good the Expressway to Auckland gets, people in the Bay of Plenty – Rotorua and Tauranga – and throughout the Waikato would prefer to drive to Hamilton,” he said. “I’m concerned to see the land around the Airport being sold for Titanium Park. The Airport Authority should be concentrating on its core business.” Waikato Regional Airport Ltd is owned by local authorities. Hamilton has half, Waipā, Waikato and Matamata-Piako all have a 15.6% share and Otorohanga 3.2%. Rimmington is a former Hamilton mayor – he served one term from 1998. Under his watch the aiport purchased land and he laments seeing it sold off. “We bought it to extened the airport, not for factories. “Our region’s airport must be more proactive,” he said. “There is an opportunity ahead to work with Air New Zealand on three flights a week. Rimmington said it was time to push the boundaries as the country emerged form Covid. “Dairy will survive and lead our economic recovery, followed by tourism,” he predicted. “The airport is a means to achieving that recovery.”

Airport chief: ‘we’re keen’

It’s a busy airport, but Hamilton’s destination are all domestic.

The chief executive of Waikato’s major airport says bringing international flights back to the province would require an airline prepared and able to make a substantial investment and share the risk - and “right now, that’s a tough ask”. Waikato Regional Airport Limited chief executive Mark Morgan told the News the emergence of Covid-19 would result in the company reviewing timing, but it remained keen to look at any opportunity that was in the best interests of its Council shareholders But he said that in terms of international flights, “I need to be clear… this is not something Hamilton Airport on its own can simply ‘make’

happen… there would have to be a very strong business case to support any international route”. The company would have to find a city to partner with Hamilton, so there would be strong markets at both ends. On property development, he said had the company not pursued its strategy, it would have gone to its five shareholders with a begging bowl after being hit with Covid. “Very often it is property development which helps fund the infrastructure and services needed to enable airport operations to grow and develop”. That had been the case at Hamilton, he said, and WRAL’s property strategy had been a lifesaver for ratepayers

Picture: Waikato Regional Airport Limited

in terms of Covid-19. Property development activities over the last four years to reduce reliance on aeronautical income had Mark Morgan resulted in a portfolio worth more than $20 million and “our shareholding councils have been supportive of that strategy” WRAL has been able to return to profitability after many years in the red - and had paid dividends to councils for the past three, he said.

Time to knock on doors: Wilson

Ewan Wilson brought transtasman flights to Waikato in 1995 – and felt the full force of Air New Zealand’s power as a consequence. The national carrier responded by putting its own international service on under the Freedom Air banner. Today neither Freedom nor Wilson’s Kiwi International Airlines exists and it has been eight Ewan Wilson

years since flights left Waikato for Australia. Wilson says he says he would be delighted to see his former foe return to Hamilton with international flights. “Air New Zealand is smart and agile. So are Jetstar and Qantas – and every passenger they fly could tap into their international market.” “This is the time they will be thinking of re-establishing flights – we should be knocking on doors. There is a pent-up desire to travel and we have a unique point of difference,” he added. “It could all be done with no significant expenditure - Hamilton’s

runway is fit for purpose.” If not regular flights, then charter flights would also be an excellent option, he said. Seasonal charter flights for residents to visit relatives in Australia or the Pacific Islands would be a “sweet spot” for a small player because larger airlines would struggle to compete. Wilson says the time is perfect, and Waikato has the resources to develop the second But he says he is at odds with the airport company’s strategic vision, complaining it has lost site of its core value and has for too long been operating as a property developer.

Battling for baby William

By Jeremy Smith

Seven-week-old William Cameron snuggles into his mum Nicole’s arms. As he drifts off to sleep he reaches a tiny hand out in search of one of her fingers. He finds it, grabs it, squeezes and holds tight. “Moments like these melt my heart,” his mum, former Cambridge resident Nicole Cameron, said. “They’re what sustain us. We’re doing everything we can to have as many more of them with him as possible.” That shared love - evident in those moments, and theirs for him is one of the few constants Nicole and her husband Ryan cling to as they begin a medical journey “beyond their wildest imagination”. “It’s turned our lives upside down.” William, the couple’s first-born child, was born in lockdown at 37 weeks having been growth-restricted from 28 weeks. Nicole grew up in Cambridge, Ryan moved to town from the United Kingdom two years ago. Last year, the family started 5 Stars Solutions, a cleaning company which services Cambridge and the greater Waikato. Call it a mother’s intuition, but since William’s birth, Nicole said she could sense something wasn’t quite right. A string of discouraging doctors’ visits and hospital appointments culminated in one final desperate attempt – a visit to a Waikato Hospital paediatric consultant, who then had William transferred to Auckland’s Starship Hospital. Upon arrival, the couple was stunned to learn he needed emergency open heart bypass surgery because he has supravalvular aortic stenosis - a heart condition which narrows the large blood vessel that carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body. William also has pulmonary stenosis, which narrows the pulmonary valve opening and slows blood flow. Doctors performed an eight-hour operation on Queen’s Birthday weekend Friday – calling it “95 percent” successful. “We’re so grateful to the doctors and nurses – everyone involved – they’ve done an amazing job,” Nicole said. But in Nicole’s own words that was, ironically, just the

start. They’ve now been told there’s a high probability William has a rare, life-threatening condition - Williams Syndrome. Baby William’s name and the condition doctors believe he

has is pure coincidence. Only about 200 New Zealanders have it – it’s a genetic condition present at birth characterised by medical problems including cardiovascular disease, developmental delays, and learning disabilities. If William does have it, he’ll need constant medical attention – multiple surgeries and hospital care - for the rest of his life. There is now no guarantee how long that will be. “We got the shock of our lives – doctors are 99 percent sure, and it’s rocked us to our core. “Never in a million years did we dream this. I’ve never been through so many emotions as I have while we process what this means.” William could be home from his surgery by next week – but the family initially faces two years of unknowns. It will be that long before, doctors hope, William’s heart is big enough for them to operate on another area of it – but during that time he’s highly susceptible to a heart attack or stroke. “We have no choice but to be optimistic – we just have to take life moment by moment, like those hugs,” Nicole said of their day-to-day approach. “Firstly, we want William to grow big enough to lift and support his own neck and then, of course, to see him crawl and say his first word. “The truth is though, we don’t know how long we have with our baby.” And, even when they do go home, the couple face the task of paying for William’s ongoing at home care and the associated equipment that requires. Candidly, Nicole said parents on a similar journey to William’s are never far from her mind. “Please, trust that inner voice - if you feel like there is something going on for one of your children – please do get it checked – and don’t be afraid to keep going back.” As an effort to help going forward, wider family members have set up a GiveaLittle page called Please Help Baby William. Just over $5000 has been gifted. Readers will find the page at Givealittle.co.nz .

Setting the table for our birds Mt Pirongia has been targeted as a key site in a setting strategies to grow native wildlife at the expense of introduced mammals. A multi-agency research collaboration is looking at forest food sources as part of wider efforts to boost New Zealand’s native bird populations. The More Birds in the Bush project is led by Manaaki Whenua Landcare Research, and includes staff from the Department of Conservation (Doc). More Birds in the Bush aims to achieve large-scale forecasting of predator populations based on available forest food sources. Manaaki Whenua Postdoctoral Researcher Anne Schlesselmann

Anne Schlesselmann

says understanding food production – particularly fruit - in forests and resulting predator populations will provide information on how predators can be best suppressed. “The goal is to lead to an optimisation of future largescale forest management to include areas where native bird populations will have the greatest comeback,” she says. North Island forests have warmer annual average temperatures and a more diverse range of tree species than South Island forests. As a result they provide more food both for rats and birds. Ship rats compete with birds, bats, lizards and insects for the same food sources as well as preying on them. Mt Pirongia was chosen as a research location as it’s a habitat for bellbirds/ korimako, tomtits/ miromiro, and rifleman/ titipounamu – bird species preyed on by ship rats. Because the three bird species differ in their diets, nesting habits and body size researchers will be able to evaluate differences in nesting success and survival across species. “We also wanted to work in a diverse podocarp-

broadleaved forest where all three bird species still exist, and somewhere where some regular predator control was already in place, so we could compare bird population outcomes at the same site with and without predator control. “We have started banding titipounamu, miromiro, and korimako so we can follow these individuals to measure survival and their nesting success,” Ms Schlesselmann said. Doc’s Waikato Biodiversity Ranger Cara Hansen said the More Birds in the Bush project was vital research for ongoing ecosystem restoration in forests in the warmer northern part of the country, where predator control has been underway for several years. “We need to understand how to limit rats and increase birds, bats, lizards, giant insects and frogs. This is a step up for us in that we are good at protecting the forest, and this research will help us understand how to protect the rest.” While this research is going on, organisations responsible for other sites are seeking to restore lost bird species by taking a small number of birds from

Pirongia. There are plans to release titipounamu into the Maungatautari inland sanctuary. The catching and releasing

plan is regarded as a reflection of the success of predator control on Pirongia, particularly by the Pirongia Restoration Society. More Birds in the Bush is

funded through the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment’s Endeavour Fund, which supports transformational science research.

House looks for more funds

By Jeremy Smith

More people require Cambridge Community House services – but a funding shortfall could leave the organisation struggling to keep up with demand post Covid-19. Manager Harriet Dixon has confirmed the community house faces a potential $20,000 deficit this financial year - but at the same time demand for the full gamut of the organisation’s services is steadily on the up. Cambridge Community House has been running for 35 years and now has an annual touch point of about 2000 people district wide. And, in April and May during lockdown, the number families needing one of its services - food parcels - doubled to

nearly 50. The food parcel work is carried out in partnership with Raleigh Street Christian Centre’s Kaivolution and the Salvation Army. Mrs Dixon revealed the information in a report she gave the June meeting of the Cambridge Community Board last week. She sought financial help. “The truth is many more people – some who have never had to reach out for help from one or more of our services before are having to now, through no fault of their own,” she said. In an effort to lessen the shortfall, the board subsequently awarded the organisation $3850 from its discretionary fund. Of that, $2500 will go towards the cost of running the

community house’s financial mentoring programme – and Violence Free Waipa’s work in Cambridge received a $1350 boost. Cambridge Community House staff have also applied for up to $100,000 through a submission to Waipa District Council draft Annual Plan. If fully successful, Mrs Dixon said one half - $50,000 - would be put towards finishing off the organisation’s current building extension project – the other would be used for operating costs next financial year. At that stage, it is expected to be harder than usual to achieve the organisation’s funding target. Many businesses and usual funders were feeling financial pressure because of Covid-19.

Board chair Sue Milner said in deciding to give money from the discretionary fund, it was a balancing act between the number of worthy causes there were and the funding they had to award. “There are of course a number of similarly deserving community organisations and groups out there,” she said. “In the case of Cambridge Community House, I have no doubt we have done the right thing – a number of stresses have been put on a wide range of people and we can’t underestimate the significant amount of work community house staff do to help people through what they are facing.” Cambridge Community House makes a wide range of other family and social services

available Waipa-wide – including counselling and mental wellness support, family harm intervention, support and education, drug and alcohol assessment, treatment and counselling, adult literacy programmes and even second-hand school uniforms. Mrs Dixon described Cambridge Community House services – many of which are provided through partnerships with other community groups – as “wrap around”. “It’s a wholistic approach. We either provide services or link in other service-providers to meet needs. “We work with many families who are disadvantaged due to poor finances, education or circumstances and we strive to support them set and meet their

Harriet Dixon

goals. “We’re here to build a resilient community, breaking the cycle and empowering our community to take control, improving their lives. “Our door is always open, there’s no judgement,” Mrs Dixon said.

Detour is gone – this time for good A pipeline to take water to Waipā residents has passed a pressure test – enabling a significant road detour to be removed. The pipeline taking water to the Parallel Road Water Treatment Plant is part of a programme to take treated water to Te Awamutu. The detour was put in place on Cambridge Road last October 2019 while work was carried out on the infrastructure project which has a lifespan of 100 years. “This section of pipeline has had a number of delays and our residents have been unbelievably resilient and patient facing this

major disruption to their daily lives,” Waipā District Council service delivery group manager Dawn Inglis said. The Te Awamutu water supply pipeline work was shut down as a result of the Covid-19 Alert Level 4 lockdown. The project was reaching a pivotal pressure test at that time and the detour was lifted after a temporary seal was applied to allow safe traffic flow. “Seeing the detour lifted temporarily was confusing for many of our commuters, particularly when it was reinstated. Unfortunately, it was necessary to reinstate

it for this final pressure testing, which took place over the last few weeks,” Ms Inglis added. The second stage of the Te Awamutu Water Supply project will take place between Parallel Road and Taylors Hill where a treated water pipeline will be laid between the Treatment Plant and the Reservoir. The Parallel Road Water Treatment Plant upgrade will start in June and is expected to be completed at the end of 2021.

Ex-All Blacks make the cut, but it was…

A close shave By Jeremy Smith

“I might have to extend my hat collection, it’s cold,” she smiled. Those were among Cambridge’s Penny Parsons’ first thoughts as she lost her locks in support of a good cause last week. Penny, a Waikato/BoP Cancer Society supportive care nurse, teamed up with colleague

Jacinda Mayo to be part of an initiative called Brave the Shave to raise both money for and awareness of the Cancer Society. Through their combined efforts, Penny and Jacinda contributed about $7000 between them to the efforts of other fundraising “heroes” around the region who have collectively raised nearly $30,000 to date. In Penny and Jacinda’s case,

they far exceeded their initial $5000 target. When the moment of truth arrived, while observing social distancing protocol, former All Blacks coach, Cambridge’s Wayne Smith, cut Jacinda’s hair, while former All Black first fiveeighth Stephen Donald wielded the clippers and shaved Penny’s. The shave took place at the Cancer Society’s Lions Lodge in

Cambridge’s Jacinda Mayo and her colleague Penny Parsons after ‘braving the shave’.

Hamilton and a crowd gathered to watch as it took place. In her role as a supportive care nurse, Penny provides support to people living with cancer and their whānau. Penny runs support groups throughout the area she covers. “I love my job and I love the people we support. “I had my head shaved to show solidarity with all those people that go through treatment for cancer and don’t get a choice in the matter whether they lose their hair or experience other side effects.” Penny said she and Jacinda were a little nervous as they approached the date of the shave. “The lead up was probably worse than the shave itself,” she said. According to the Cancer Society, one in three New Zealanders will be affected by cancer during their lifetime. Its services continued to operate throughout the Covid-19 pandemic.

NO PLANET B

FAITH IN WAIPĀ

Time for confession

The art of getting it right…

By Peter Matthews

By Murray Smith, Senior Leader, Bridges Church

Forecasting future events is risky business, causing the credibility of countless speculators over the years to crash and burn. History is strewn with bold ‘prophets’ who went on record with details they foresaw about future happenings, getting it so badly wrong that really, all their ‘insight’ was good for was providing a hearty laugh. Here’s just a few examples. “The only consolation which we have in reflecting upon this work is that it will never be generally read.” - James Lorimer reviewing ‘Wuthering Heights’ by Emily Brontë, 1847 “Everything that can be invented has been invented.”- Director of the US Patent Office, 1899 “Heavier than air flying machines are impossible.” - Lord Kelvin, President of the Royal Society 1890-1895. This ‘inspiring’ visionary offered many other glimpses from his enlightened perspective… “X-rays will prove to be a hoax.” and… “Radio has no future.” “Unworthy of the attention of practical or scientific men.” - Parliamentary Committee reporting on whether Edison’s electric light bulb would be relevant to Britain. “Very interesting, Whittle my boy, but it will never work.” - Professor of Aeronautical Engineering at Cambridge University when shown Frank (later Sir Frank) Whittle’s plans for the jet engine. “Television won’t last. It’s a flash in the pan.” Mary Somerville, Educational Radio Broadcasting pioneer, 1948. “In all likelihood world inflation is over.” Managing Director of International Monetary Fund 1959. “The Beatles? They’re on the wane.” - The Duke of Edinburgh visiting Canada in 1965. They went on to produce five albums and eleven singles, most of which were number one hits.

While not mounting a challenge to these people’s sincerity, their prowess in ‘foreseeing’ the future displays considerable ineptitude. A record of getting things very badly wrong should inevitably cast doubt on the trustworthiness of any predictor’s projections into the future. The Bible, as a collection of writings by many authors, is claimed to be divinely inspired - God’s infallible word. Such a bold claim ought to be tested. If it is wrong it needs to be exposed as fraudulent and the sooner the better… if its claims prove to be true however, it warrants our attention! One of numerous ‘authenticating signatures’ supporting the Bible’s truth is fulfilled prophecy. Just the hundreds of prophecies alone of Jesus Christ’s coming to earth are staggering. Many centuries before events unfolded, precise details surrounding the timing, the circumstances of His birth and life were recorded. In addition, the nature of His betrayal, a trial leading to death, His burial and resurrection were foretold with astoundingly intricate detail. A mathematician once calculated the chances of just eight of 60 major prophecies concerning Jesus being fulfilled as being 100,000,000,000,000,000 :1. Next to impossible odds that could never be coincidence! History demonstrates hundreds of events foretold in the Bible as having been fulfilled in perfect detail to date. With many prophecies even fulfilled in our lifetime, there’s no doubt that those yet to be fulfilled are right on track. This will be good news to some…but not everyone - our perspective and decisions will determine that.

Here was a dilemma, and me on the horns of it. I had occasion, recently, to take a horse float full of rubbish to the Hamilton Refuse Transfer station - the dump. We were weighed on the way in and then again on the way out: 960 kilos of rubbish later. The rubbish pile had been in the rain though, so some of that was water. This was essentially a house lot. Almost every conceivable type of refuse including an old bed. To give some context: we were under strict time pressure with the loan of the float and a deadline by which to have the house cleaned and cleared out, and thus have the best chance of getting the bond back. And it was raining. The dilemma was this: I knew, as I was chucking stuff over the edge, that a fair bit of it could have been recycled, repurposed, donated, or otherwise kept in circulation. To do this would have taken considerably more time than was available; days rather than hours I suspect, to do it properly. We threw out a fair bit of paper which could have been recycled, a quantity of old bits of wood which could have been taken home and hoarded against future requirements, some clothing which could have been donated, defunct furniture, the list goes on. There is no doubt that to take the time to sort everything out and then deliver it to the various reception points, op shops, and the like would have been the right thing to do. But I did not do that, there just wasn’t the time. If I’m honest, dump-

side in the cold rain there wasn’t as much inclination as there should have been either. In my defence I did divert a computer and a laptop to the back of the car and these have now joined a stockpile of similar items in our garage awaiting collection by RecycleIT. And a couple of nice bits of hardwood will make their way into the structure of the boat I plan to build - one day. I think we all, at various times, experience this kind of thing: we know we should do something other than what we are actually doing, and we justify our actions as best we can at the time. But let’s not be too hard on ourselves. There are some countries and corporations, large and small, which care little for anything other than power and profit. These are the giants walking the planet’s surface which could make a meaningful and effective difference to us all with a slightly lighter footstep. I think it is important that when we can do the right thing - we do it, and if for whatever reason we can’t do the right thing now, we recognise that we are falling short and resolve to do better in future. In this way we can ensure a progressive improvement in how we treat our planet as the current tenants. The consequences of not caring at all might be more serious than not getting the bond back.

THE AGE OF REASON

Life under the new regime

By Peter Carr

In my first major post-lockdown trip outside of the Waikato I am visiting our three Wellington- based daughters. I was savouring the freedom to drown in the green splendour that comprises our lovely country while wondering if what happened pre and post Easter was just a horrible dream. But I was brought up into a harsh aura of reality when entering a fast food chain establishment. Prior to making the trip I elected to play Good Citizen by downloading that ugly yellow and black app into my phone (it took three attempts, possibly linked to my late septuagenarian age). So, I march into a burger outlet’s small-town establishment to be met with barriers, coloured floor markings and a multitude of This Way floor-set arrows. But ‘whoa there’. First one has to be apprehended by the eagle-eyed diligent teenage lady whose mission in life is to ensure I do not bring the nasty bug into her workplace. Not only in fixing me with a steely eye, but also brandishing a large push-top plastic bottle. It’s filled with what I am lead to believe is a top of the range hand sanitising fluid - notwithstanding that it may just be dishwashing detergent for all the proof that was provided. But remember readers - I am still playing Good Citizen here. I must, shall, and be seen to, comply. So I do. Then Miss Atilla beseeches me to ‘fill in the form’. No, say I, for I am Good Citizen and I have downloaded the app. I am directed to a nearby table whereupon is the (still ugly) logo in colours designed by whoever dreams up the shirts used by the Hurricanes.

Out with my trusty i-phone, I hover it carefully over the table so that there is a clear image in the screen. Up comes that wonderful and not-required piece of information informing me that this dutiful action has failed. So Miss A, never to be one to be beaten, directs me to a second equally hideous logo whence exactly the same result ensued. It is back to the dreaded form which I duly complete with me thinking I would like an invite when, one day, all this will be unnecessary and I can be invited to the great form-burning bonfire in the foyer of the Ministry of Health. Then my new-found friend escorts me to a huge screen where the food is to be ordered by jabbing at least a dozen times to order two servings of the same simple breakfast bun. No drinks, no smooth ice cream, no coffee. Just two identical buns. By this stage, with the elapsed time involved, I am thinking of changing from breakfast to a lunch order - but all I want to do is get out of the place. And upon arriving in Wellington my technically skilled fifth form grandson informs me that ‘they’ (not revealing who ‘they’ are) have been having trouble with the ugly app. Notwithstanding his observation it appears that this technically challenged writer had been trying to log into app-holding sites using the phone’s camera. Sorry Mr Covid app, it was all down to me! Sigh.......life was much easier before we all tried to catch up with space scientists.

DOWN WITH THE KIDS

Did NZQA do enough?

By Matteo Di Maio

“Kia ora. My name is Huia and in 2020 I was doing my NCEA Level 2…” “I am Sione and I want to go to university…” These are two beginnings of a selection of little blurbs on an official document from NZQA – the exam body – that we all got last week. It outlines several changes to the way NCEA assessments will work in the face of Covid-19 stress and learning loss. The big changes are to the credit system — previously, each assessment you did accrued “credits,” which built up to a qualification. Now, every student is entitled to one “learning recognition” credit for every five regular credits they achieve, up to 10 extra credits. The blurbs – it seems – were meant to demonstrate how the changes would save our learning; one of the student’s blurbs rounded off with: “I’ve got this.” Chris Hipkins, the education minister, took his time in rolling out the changes. He announced end-of-year exams would be pushed back 10 days in early May; but the big changes, the bonus credits, took nearly a month longer. That time, ostensibly, was to ensure that NCEA’s global standing was not damaged by poorly thought out changes that simply made the qualifications easier to get. Students, of course, were quick to point out that NCEA is certainly not easier this year, even with the new changes. Lockdown learning made everything harder. The question now is, then, did the new changes cancel the difficulties out — like the blurbs suggest? Are we neutral again? My personal experience with lockdown was great — I’ve never been as close to my family, or as relaxed. But that was definitely not the case for everyone. Two year 11 students who talked to me for this column — Hannah and Isabella — say that

lockdown learning was tough for them. They say that they were worried about coming back to school and trying to catch up – without the changes, they would’ve struggled. “I was initially feeling nervous about being able to achieve to the level that I would like,” Hannah said. So the response to the changes, more or less, has been positive. Before, some students were really worried, now, they’re slightly more hopeful. But perhaps – I’m realising as I write this – we are considering the wrong thing again when we talk about resurrecting purely grades. Maybe we are making the mistake schools and parents have made for too long: focusing on academic returns, rather than student wellbeing. We can’t let our learning recovery become a vector for more pushing, more stress and more illness. Some experts worry about the long-term mental effects lockdown — and jumping back into learning too quickly — may have had, citing the aftermath of the Christchurch earthquakes as example of what can go wrong. The recommendations from education experts are clear. First: don’t launch too quickly into the catch up; ease students into NCEA slowly. Start with easier standards, perhaps. This all seems sensible: One of my friends found lockdown actually eased their anxiety — it was the return to the loud, distracting world of in-person school that did them in. The second necessary focus should be fostering community spirit — form classes need to feel inclusive and supportive, and form teachers need to be approachable. And lastly, parents should simply check in with their kids, even if they appear happy.

Heritage fund open

Applications have opened for grants from The Waipā Heritage Fund. The fund aims to safeguard the district’s heritage value and offers $70,000 annually. There are two funding rounds a year and this round is open to the end of the month. The fund was established in 2013 to help preserve, enhance and showcase Waipā’s environmental and cultural heritage, diversity and history. It is available to members of the community who can show an emphasis on protecting the district’s heritage – rather than capital – value. More than $430,000 has been approved for projects in Waipā since the fund started. Funding can be used for physical works for heritage buildings, objects, natural vegetation, habitats, cultural or archaeological sites. Funds may also be used to fund specialist advice. Council’s strategic partnerships manager Gary Knighton encouraged groups and community members to apply to the fund. “Waipā has a rich heritage often upheld by community groups giving many hours of voluntary time, so we are delighted to be able to support those groups with this fund.” For more information go to waipadc.govt.nz/our-services/ grants-and-funding/heritagefund.

Waipā’s morning clean up team By Tekla Kezia

Bill Smith leaves home at 2am. An hour later Darlene Tye picks up her truck from a yard in Te Awamutu and the pair commence an eighthour clean-up operation. Walkways are rid of leaves and debris, the public toilets cleansed, rubbish bins emptied and cobbled footpaths in the central business districts washed down. “We also maintain the grates, sucking blocked roadside sumps of excess water, mud, leaves, rubbish and hedgehogs,” said Darlene.

morning sound of leaf blowers. Every day, seven days a week, Bill Smith, Darlene Tye and their team from Metallic Sweeping work to have Cambridge, Te Awamutu and Kihikihi looking their best. They played their part to help Cambridge become ‘The most Beautiful Large Town Award’ winner in the 2019 Keep New Zealand Beautiful competition. Metallic Sweeping has held the contract with the Waipa District Council for 20 years. This is a busy time – since early May the team has been clearing huge volumes of fallen leaves.

“We get pushed at this time of year,” Mr Smith said. “People think because they hear a blower, they can dump leaves from their private properties into the gutters for us to take away. “It’s really frustrating. People put sticks and all sorts into the gutters, and it clogs our machinery. “When the public appreciates our work it really gives us a boost. We do try to keep work to a high standard - we want people to be happy”. Waipā District Council highlighted the problem of rogue leave leavers in a statement this week. “One of the key issues we are seeing is residents, including those from outside the designated collection areas, dumping large quantities of leaves from their own private trees into the kerb and channel,” Operations team leader Jennifer Braithwaite said. “This creates blockages and increases the workload for our contractors.” The service was set up to collect leaves fallen from council owned street trees and protected trees. Residents can place leaves from street trees or protected trees in piles on the berm for collection. “We ask that residents on leaf collection streets put leaves from street trees or protected trees out for collection on the berm, not in the kerb and channel. Residents on non-collection streets need to dispose of theirC leaves by other means,” Ms Braithwaite said. Collections are weekly in Cambridge and Te Awamutu and fortnightly in Kihikihi. Collection maps are available at www.waipadc.govt.nz/ our-services/leavescollection. At a time when job losses are in the news, Bill Smith says his company is looking for workers. He can be reached on 027 680 8854.

Market stall an elder reminder

A stall at the Cambridge Farmer’s Market on Saturday will raise awareness around Elder Abuse Day, being marked this year on next Monday - June 15. The stall will be hosted by Violence Free Waipā in conjunction with Grey Power and Age Concern. It is difficult to get exact figures around elder abuse acknowledged as a global problem - as much of it goes unreported. Ms Nicholls, Anti-Violence Coordinator for Violence Free Waipā in Cambridge said an analysis of data from the New Zealand Longitudinal Study of Ageing concluded that 10 percent of the population aged over 65 living in the community experience abuse. Its victims are both men and women of every religious, cultural, ethnic and socio-economic group, and regardless of sexual orientation. She said it was estimated that only one in 14 of all abuse incidents comes to the attention of a service agency, and that last

year, Age Concern’s elder abuse services received more than 2200 referrals. Two-thirds of those were confirmed to involve elder abuse or neglect. “More than one type of abuse usually occurs in these situations,” said Ms Nicholls. “More than 70 percent involved psychological abuse, more than 50 percent involved financial abuse, 18 percent involved physical abuse, 18 percent neglect, and 18 percent involved self-neglect. “In the situations that Age Concern worked with, more than half of the alleged abusers are children or grandchildren, and more than 75 percent of the alleged abusers are family or relatives.” Ms Nicholls said elder abuse and neglect was also identified by a range of other agencies, including health providers, police, other elder abuse response services, lawyers, banks or other community and government agencies. Maori recognise elder abuse and neglect along the same definitions,

ITC

she said, but respond in a way that considers the context of the four cornerstones of health – Taha Wairua (spiritual), Taha Whanau (family), Taha Hinengaro (mental), and Taha Tinana (physical). “In this context, definitions of abuse and neglect may also include the lack of culturally appropriate services, preventing contact with whanau, and the non-practice of traditional ways,” she said. “In responding to elder abuse and neglect, Maori promote a holistic approach involving whanau, traditional cultural values including decisionmaking processes, and the four cornerstones of health. Ms Nicholls said much of the work done by Age Concern to prevent elder abuse and neglect centred on respecting older people, supporting them to make their own decisions, checking that their human rights are being met, ensuring they live free from violence, and challenging the attitudes that denigrate the value of the older generation.

Expo is online only The only traffic to Fieldays this year will be digitalThe New Zealand National Fieldays Society (NZNFS) has made the difficult decision to not host a physical event in 2020 - instead shifting our focus to the physical event in 2021 and making our 2020 event, Fieldays Online, a hugesuccess,” says NZNFS CEO Peter Nation. He said it was understood some online would not work for exhibitors “which is why we’re offering full account credits or alternate refund options for their

site fees” He said earlier this week 68 per cent had opted for the site credit or had signed up for Fieldays Online, while only 32 per cent have chosen a refund. It takes a year of planning and preparation for each Fieldays event. The physical site build starts two months beforehand and most days there are over 2000 contractors involved. “In this new format Fieldays will now be truly global, providing another level of connectivity

beyond borders,” Mr Nation said. “Having a digital event opens the door to an international audience of customers, exhibitors, industry players, importers, and exporters.” Online marketplace Trade Me will support the digital marketing and sales for Fieldays Online. Digital production company Satellite will oversee the functionality of the experience and each exhibitor will be given their own digital site producer to customise their offerings.

Fieldays Innovation awards sponsors Amazon Web Services, Callaghan Innovation and James and Wells also continue to back the event. response to the current global uncertainty, our way of keeping businesses connected to their valuable Fieldays audience and giving visitors a newly imagined digital event worthy of the physical event – and it is completely free!

A Fieldays winner already

By Viv Posselt

Surprised and humbled. That’s how the Swiss-born Cambridge artist known simply as Leonaldo responded to his inclusion as a finalist in the 2020 Fieldays No.8 Wire National Art Award. “The way I see it, I have already won by just being named as one of the finalists.” Leonaldo’s piece joins 28 artworks by 27 artists from around New Zealand selected by award judge, New Zealand sculptor James Wright. Winners will be announced on July 2, and the finalists’ exhibition will run from July 3 to August 3 at ArtsPost in Hamilton. The annual award, which is sponsored by Momentum Waikato Community Foundation and managed by Waikato Museum, challenges artists to create sculptures using No.8 wire and other agricultural materials. Leonaldo doesn’t see himself strictly as

an artist, although he has pursued creative work in one form or another throughout his life, albeit more “for my soul” than for fame or profit. His income has come from other sources – working and travelling the world as a qualified chef, in event and project management, in trade shows, and through installing and then deconstructing international art exhibitions in places such as New York, Moscow, Saudi Arabia and London. He describes himself as more of an inventor, although concedes that his interest in art took off when designing and making ice sculptures. There is little he won’t try, and he has made a raft of items, primarily for friends. But it was his inventive streak that indirectly led Leonaldo to the Fieldays No.8 Wire National Art Award. “Three years ago, I submitted a water refining system to the Fieldays Innovation

Awards,” he explained. “It didn’t get anywhere, but since then I have been emailed updates from Fieldays. The one on the No.8 Wire Award came through as I was holding a coil of wire – and the idea for my piece started to Leonaldo form.” There was a bit of tweaking involved, then a return to his first, simpler vision for the work – now he’s keen to get to the finish line. “I am just so happy to have been picked as a finalist, and I’m really looking forward to seeing what the other artists have done.”

The Fieldays No.8 Wire National Art Award judge, New Zealand sculptor James Wright, said not only had this year’s finalists demonstrated the versatility of our most recognisable agricultural supply material, “but also they have used it in James Wright ways that soar beyond the constraints imposed to make imaginative and creative statements”. Waikato Museum director Cherie Meecham said it was fitting that the award “which plays homage to our rural community and to Kiwi resourcefulness and ingenuity” could carry on in spite of immense challenges. New Zealand Fieldays Society president James Allen said: “These are extraordinary times, but we were determined to find a way to continue with this iconic exhibition. We all need something uplifting in our lives over the next weeks and months, so I hope this award and exhibition will help to play its part.” Momentum Waikato CEO Kelvyn Eglinton, said there was a great synergy in supporting Fieldays with the Award. “Community foundations like Momentum Waikato are building regional endowment funds around the country and the COVID-19 crisis is prompting rural communities to look at longterm funding and impact investment strategies to improve their social resilience. This is a wonderful opportunity to work together to increase our presence in the rural sector while encouraging diversity in the arts.” The overall winner will receive $5000, with second and third place-getters set to receive $800 and $300 respectively.

School sports are back – oh, the relief By Matteo Di Maio

High school athletes who managed to keep training during lockdown had to contend with a tricky question: what exactly for? The Maadi cup was off, cancelled on March 16. The AIMS Games was postponed until 2021. And there was no Summer Tournament Week – the intended culmination of teams’ previous training efforts, which usually pulled in thousands of students. “I missed out on two water polo tournaments,” Bastiaan Banks, a 15-year-old student at Cambridge High, said. Before lockdown, Banks played hockey, swimming and water polo. During lockdown: “I did some individual training … but it felt like training for nothing,” he said. “When you train, you train for something,” Guy Ockenden, Cambridge High’s sports and cultural director said. “At the time that they were doing it, they didn’t know what they were training for.” Year 11 student Catriona Lamb’s Premier Girls Lacrosse team, which tried to keep up fitness during lockdown with “stick trick videos” on the team’s Facebook page, motivated themselves by the fact that, even if competitions didn’t resume, the team could hopefully get back together soon. “I think even if we didn’t have games, we all play because we love lacrosse,” she said. But with lockdown over and school sports kicking back off, Lamb and Banks may finally have something to train for again. In-person trainings for most sports at Cambridge High kicked back off on June 2 – and if national tournaments are still off the table, players are hopeful regular secondary school leagues will be back soon. CHS’ sporting scene has been gearing back

up in a three-step process. Prior to June 2, Ockenden started emailing parents, gauging how keen they were for their kids to return to sport under level 2. The majority re-signed up, Ockenden said. “We gave [parents] the option to decide whether they wanted to take part. Some decided they won’t but it’s a very small minority.” Then, trainings started again – albeit with contract tracing roll calls, and heavy equipment sanitization. Since June 2, “We’ve had netball, we’ve had rugby, basketball, football, cycling – hockey’s probably next week,” Ockenden said. And finally, the date for official games and competitions to resume is (no earlier than) June 22 – something that’s been agreed by to schools across the Waikato region, Ockenden said. Di McLean, CHS’ sports administrator, stressed the big impact some sports cancellations had: “I think the most

devastating cancellation was the Maadi cup,” she said. “That was really tough.” At St Peter’s in Cambridge, the Open InterSchools Dressage was held last weekend, with eight schools and over 100 entries. The school was pleased with the turnout, considering a lot of people’s horses had been turned out over the country’s mandatory lockdown period. The Open Championship was won by the St Peter’s Lions, comprising of Rebecca Foley, Grace Purdie, Tayla McDonald, and Ella Jeffares. The Development Championship was won by the St Peter’s Tigers, comprising of Megan Bradley, Eleanor Parrott, Briar Spittle, and Rheannah Rapley. Most national school sporting events currently sit in three categories: cancelled, postponed or suspended.

Cancelled – which applies to events from the Secondary School Horse Trials to the Artistic Gymnastics competition – means that they will not take place in 2020. Some events, like various road cycling championships and the shooting competition, are suspended – meaning they are currently being considered for either postponement or cancellation. And some, like the synchronised swimming champs, multisport and cross country, are postponed; they already have new dates and will go ahead this year. Big events like Winter Tournament Week, as they used to be, are still off the table. But School Sport New Zealand, the de facto governing body, has revamped how the event will work. Tournament Week is likely to be run on a more regional basis – with consideration for the financial damage Covid-19 may have caused to families. It will “be delivered over fewer days, with less travel and accommodation required, and, importantly, at less cost to families,” a notice on SSNZ’s website read. Hockey New Zealand, for example, has followed suit – ditching a single national tournament week for three regional versions. For many students, a return to sport was a godsend – its role in distracting from schoolwork and as a mental health boost has hardly been more pertinent. As SSNZ wrote in the notice: “Arguably, never in recent times, has sport had such a critical role to play in providing confidence and comradeship in assisting students returning to their normal lives.” “I know personally that I’ve missed simply just playing a sport,” Lamb said.

An event being touted as the first in the Waikato sanctioned by Athletics Waikato & Bay Of Plenty post Covid-19 will hit the road in Te Awamutu. Te Awamutu Athletic Club’s Golf Course Fun Run & Walk, featuring a 3km run for students, a 3km walk, a 6km run or walk and a 9km run, will be held on Saturday, July 4. “It’s a bit of a coup really,” race director Murray Green said. “We’re pretty chuffed.” Mr Green said the event was started about nine years ago and came out of an idea to help raise money to further the competitive athletic asipirations of some of its younger club members. “In its history, I’d estimate we’ve raised about $15,000 in total towards that goal.” Typically, up to 150 competitors from around the Waikato would take part.

“What I’d say we might see happen is, because it’s the first event off the blocks, competitors might come from further afield than normal. “About half of those competing would normally be athletics club members, the rest are members of the public.” Runners and walkers from both Hamilton and Cambridge always featured, he said. “It’s going to be great – I’d say because it’ll be one of the first opportunities for people to get out and have fun, everyone will be really excited to be there.” At this stage, Mr Green said organisers had discussed the possibility of split start times. Entry for the student run is $5, all other events are $10. Those wanting to take part need to enter online at https://2020tagolfcourserun. eventdesq.com/ for contact tracing purposes.

Fruitful bakes

When the weather is cold and blustery head into the kitchen and whip up some bakes. Adding some fresh fruit will enhance their appeal. However, baking is an exact science. Here are some tips. •Use level metric measures. •Spoon flour lightly into a measuring cup and gently level the top with a spoon. Do not pack it in. The only ingredient normally packed firmly is brown sugar. •To measure dry ingredients by the spoon, fill the spoon then level the top with the straight edge of a knife. •Lightly grease or oil cake pans. This helps the baking paper cling to the pan. •The raw cake mixture should fill the pan about a half to two-thirds. If the pan is too big then the cake will not rise properly. If the pan is too small then the batter may overflow before it sets. •Cakes are usually cooked when they pull away from the edges a little. To test, insert a thin skewer or toothpick in the centre. If it comes out clean the cake is cooked. •Stand the cake in the pan for a few minutes on a wire rack. Then remove and let it cool thoroughly before storing or icing.

DELICIOUS ORANGE CAKE Gluten-free. If you have an extra-large food processor bowl, use it to combine the entire mixture. This makes a very large cake and it — or wedges — can be frozen successfully. 3 medium oranges 9 medium eggs 1 1/2 cups sugar 400g (4 cups) ground almonds 2 teaspoons baking powder Place the oranges in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Slowly bring to the boil and simmer on low heat for 2 hours or until soft. (Change the water three times during cooking.) Cool. Preheat the oven to 170°C. Lightly grease and line a 25cm cake pan with baking paper. Halve the oranges and gently squeeze out any excess liquid absorbed during the cooking process. Discard the pips and place the oranges in a food processor. Blend until smooth. Add the eggs and sugar to the food processor and mix until smooth. Combine the ground almonds and baking powder in a large bowl. Stir in the orange mixture. Mix well. Pour into the prepared pan. Bake for about 1 1/2 hours or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Cool before turning out. Serves 12-16.

PERSIMMON & DATE CAKE 1 cup pitted dates, halved 1/2 cup each: boiling water, canola oil 2 teaspoons vanilla essence 2 eggs 1 1/2 cups plain flour 1 teaspoon each: baking powder, baking soda 3/4 cup sugar 2 persimmons, peeled and grated Topping: 1 cup desiccated coconut 1/4 cup sugar 1 egg Preheat the oven to 180° C. Lightly oil a round 20cm-21cm loosebased cake pan. Place the dates in a bowl and cover with the boiling water. Cool completely. Place the oil, vanilla essence and eggs in a bowl and beat until well combined. Sift the flour, baking powder and baking soda. Add to the oil mixture then add the sugar. Beat well. Peel and grate the persimmons. Add to the flour and oil mixture with the cooled dates and water. Mix well. Pour into the prepared cake pan. Bake for 40-45 minutes, until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Meanwhile, prepare the topping by mixing the coconut, sugar and egg well. Dot evenly over baked cake and return to the oven for 10 minutes or until golden.

MORTGAGE MATTERS

Why use a Mortgage Broker? By Gavin Lynch – Yes Mortgages In the present loan market, most lenders are changing their criteria in regards to what, how much and to whom they lend. This makes it even more important to use a mortgage broker so you know you are getting the right mortgage and right lender to suit your needs. I believe every client has a unique borrowing scenario and time needs to be taken with the client to understand and analyse this, so a correct lending plan and structure can be put in place to achieve goals. In this column, I want to explain briefly the role of the mortgage broker and what I can offer. The key role of the mortgage broker is to make the whole loan process easier for you, the client. This is possible because: I can look at all the lending options. I deal with more than 25 different lenders and work to find the best lender to suit your unique situation. • I can do all the ‘leg work’ with the lenders. • This saves you time and avoids pitfalls in getting a loan approved. • I can negotiate rates, fees, and legal contributions with certain lenders to obtain the best deal for the client. • I can meet at a convenient time and place for the client. • This can be in the home or workplace and after hours if need be. • I can advise on the best loan structure to suit the client’s need. And best of all using a broker is a free service in most cases. Now that has to be worth thinking about! If your looking for a mortgage, please give me a call on 823 4531 or 021 783 266 and I can help you though the whole process. 55 Victoria Street, Cambridge (between BNZ & LJ Hooker)

Dad’s in the driving seat

The rivalry between Waikato reinsman David Butcher and his sons Zachary and Benjamin is heating up. Butcher is the leading North Island driver with 44 wins to his name this term - Zachary trailing has 42 and Benjamin 32. The elder Butcher says he will have his work cut out to retain his lead with two months of the season remaining. “They might head me off by the time we get to the end of the season,” Butcher said. “Zac is only two behind, so it will be interesting. There’s always a fair bit of rivalry between us.” Butcher has enjoyed a good season in the cart, but he has also appreciated training his small team, particularly over the COVID-19 enforced lockdown period. He kept a few of his team ticking over on his eight hectare private training property, which enabled him to have a fivestrong team compete at the North Island’s resuming race meeting at Cambridge late last month. “We just kept ticking over during lockdown, nothing really changed,” Butcher said. Butcher had a handful of horses at the Cambridge workouts on Saturday but said a number of those will likely head for a spell. “I had a couple of young ones being educated, they will probably go out after a couple of weeks and then I have five racehorses, and the two maidens will probably go out in a couple of weeks as well,” he said. “So just the old boys will be hanging in.” Butcher said he is looking forward to getting back behind the Steve Telfer-trained Triple Eight. The Group Three winner is likely to be set on a Gr.1 New Zealand Cup (3200m) path. It is a race Butcher won behind Changeover in 2008. “With the lockdown, all the good ones are out at the moment,” Butcher said. “But I am looking forward to getting

back driving Triple Eight. “I don’t know where he is at, but he might be heading to the New Zealand Cup I would say. That would be the aim.” – Cambridge Raceway

Te Rapa gallops back… Thoroughbreds were a step closer to racing in the Waikato on Tuesday with a bumper set of trials conducted at Te Rapa. Almost 300 horses were put through their paces ahead of the broughtforward return to racing date of June 20 at Pukekohe Park. Despite the fresh conditions on a sunny winter’s day, there was an air of optimism at Te Rapa as racing people gathered like long lost friends reunited. Amongst them was Cambridge trainer Tony Pike who said both horses and humans would derive benefit from the outing. “It was a bit of a novelty actually,” Pike said. “I think a lot of people were happy to turn up today and everyone was pretty proactive with the 33 heats, which is just over the normal limit of 30 they are allowed to have. Everyone was just happy to get the show on the road with a return to racing around the corner. “Everyone is starting from scratch so there is probably more horses at this time of year than normal. It is good to see horses back in work and owners at this stage prepared to give the horses another preparation. Hopefully that continues with the improvement in the industry over the next year or two but at the moment there seems to be enough horses around to have a pretty solid return to racing.” Pike sent out a number of winners on the day and said residual fitness played a role. “A lot of the ones that trialled today were race fit when the lockdown came into effect,” he said. “They have only had four and half to five weeks off so have come to hand pretty quickly. It was good to see them go out today and that will tidy them up nicely. “We have been very lucky with the weather, the last six weeks we have managed to get plenty of work into them and at this time of year it can be a

Cyber Attack impressed this week

bit hit and miss. “The track conditions haven’t got very testing yet and that is promising going forward. “Hopefully the weather holds off a few weeks longer until these horses have a run or two into them and are fit enough to handle the deep winter going.” Among Pike’s nine-strong team that had a hit-out at Te Rapa, handy galloper Cyber Attack looks a horse ready to put his best foot forward early in the piece and could be one of three or four runners for the stable on resumption day, where the entire Pukekohe card will be sponsored by Dunstan Horsefeeds. “He is always good fresh and is not far away from being a stakes class sprinter on the right tracks in a reasonably fresh state. I think he will be very competitive first-up. “Boundtobehonored has been off the scene for a while but she trialled up very well today and will take a lot of improvement from it. “We have been knocking on the door with Divine Dive to win a maiden race. He is a horse that is probably going to appreciate those 1000m races early

in the season. He is another one that handles rain affected ground, so he should be winning at short notice. “Walkin’By was very solid. She is coming off two wins last preparation and she often takes the runs to get to race fitness but I thought she trialled nicely from just off the pace and I think she will be hard to beat in her first start or two this season.” Handy three-win galloper Merlini was another heat winner on the day for Pike, but unfortunately bled and has been retired from racing. While the horses will be better for the run, jockeys enjoyed a good blow-out under more strenuous conditions. “There is nothing like race fitness for horses and jockeys,” Pike said. “Trackwork doesn’t get you quite race fit so I’m sure a few of the horses and jockeys will take a lot of improvement out of today. “I would imagine a couple of the jockeys riding in the 2000m race at Counties will by huffing and puffing by the end of it, but it is just good to be back into it and hopefully there is some positive change on the horizon and we are in for a very good 12 months.” – NZ Racing Desk
