Waipa walks Need a short walk to entertain the kids and prevent cabin fever? The Leamington Walkway is a gem. There are a few ways to tackle this walk depending on everyone’s energy levels. You can park at the Leamington Cemetery and walk down the stairs to the small regenerating wetland area, before heading along the easy path to the boulder strewn dam and stream. From here, you can continue beside the hilly farmland to exit at Addison Street. Then, either head back the way you came, or stroll through the streets to the cemetery. Google maps helps out here. It’s an easy walk and you can see the huge effort that the Cambridge Tree Trust and local students have put into converting the former wilderness of bramble and gorse into a small nature reserve. It would have been backbreaking work for the volunteers. Arriving from the cemetery also means you walk beneath the towering eucalyptus trees, which is probably the most scenic way to attack this adventure. And, if the kids still have energy left in the tank afterwards, there are the miniature trains that chug around Leamington Domain every Sunday weather permitting. Facilities: No toilets. Time: Allow 30 to 45 min for an easy

What and why?
So many our districts assets are being run-down or neglected, the evidence speaks for itself. Take for example Te Awamutu Memorial Park, Te Awamutu rotunda, Palmer Street pensioner units, Cambridge pool and of course our infrastructure which now conveniently requires millions upon millions to put right. If Elected Councillors were to acknowledge this neglect by Council, would you not think as representatives of the people that they would be obligated to act in the people’s best interests by asking the following so as to not have a future re-occurrence of this neglect - what has happened to all the funds allocated for the ongoing maintenance of these assets, why haven’t these assets been maintained, who is responsible for this? We may never know what ever happened to all of our funds or why our assets have been neglected, but it is a poor reflection on the leadership at Council and begs the question why nothing has been done about it?

On the beat with Senior Constable DEB THURGOOD Tell us at the time… I hope you are staying warm and well. I have seen social media posts recently regarding turf damage due to cars doing donuts (aka “rakis”) on public reserves, which further reinforced my chosen topic for this week’s column. If you see a vehicle racing around, tearing up a public park or reserve, please ring 111 and provide a description of the vehicle along with its registration. If possible and safe to do so, record the car’s activity on your mobile phone or dashcam. Sometimes, these perpetrators have obtained their inspiration due to the influence of alcohol which makes it even more important that we catch them. The strongest evidence is obtained when we catch people in the act, so the sooner we know, the better we can respond. Karapiro Dam is a defining landmark of our region. The lake and surrounds provide a beautiful recreational space and the engineering behind the dam itself is interesting to research. As always however, there are areas that become destination spots for illicit and antisocial behaviour. The reserve by the lower Ariki street carpark had become one such location. We were regularly receiving calls of cars doing burnouts nearby and clearly saw the evidence in damage to the steep grass bank where cars drove up to avoid nearby bollards, and tyre marks in the turf around the trees. In addition, we frequently found cars parked up engaging in various
antisocial activities at the lake side of the reserve and at the old boat ramp area immediately below. Mercury own the land and in consultation with police have recently installed some great new target hardening to the area. The bollards have been extended to the full road/carpark perimeter to prevent vehicular access up onto the grass and a gate will shortly be added blocking access to the former boat ramp area below. We want you to be able to enjoy the space, without the criminal activity and damage occurring. If you see any bollards being removed or other damage, please let us know. Another note on the dam itself relates to vehicle crossings. The dam crossing is managed by a traffic light system and has gazetted speed limits…meaning you can be fined for travelling too fast and thereby putting yourself and others at risk. Take your time, respect the traffic signals and do not be tempted to drive oversize or over length vehicles across. Trucks and tractors can cause significant damage to the dam crossing itself, causing big delays and at worst, a vehicle could tip over the edge. So, as you zoom into your weekend, keep an eye out for those driving where they shouldn’t and let us know.

Briefs… Lost Treasure
Asaleo Care’s decision to close its New Zealand nappy business – and a Te Rapa plant with 26 staff – is bad news for Waipā mum Sharni Budd. The Te Awamutu woman’s support group, Loving Arms, launched about six years ago to help families, had received hundreds of boxes of Treasure brand nappies donated by the company.
Covid tests
The Covid-19 assessment and swabbing centre at Claudelands, Hamilton has been reopened and available daily from 9am to 4pm. Waikato DHB’s Laboratory team has completed over 36,000 Covid tests. In recent days, the lab’s processing numbers have increased to between 700 to 800 tests a day, matching numbers seen during the busiest periods of lockdown. For more information go to www. waikatodhb.health.nz/ covid-19-assessment.

Building consents climb back By Jeremy Smith
Waipā’s construction industry is already building towards pre-Covid-19 levels. Waipā District Council figures current to the end of May show the number of building consents – both those applied for and granted – in the district are on the up. The data indicates that in the four months to May, a total of 511 applications for building consents were filed with Council. Of those, 460 were granted. A closer look at the monthby-month break down of the figures shows 121 building
consent applications were received in February and 155 in March. A low of 83 was recorded in April during lockdown, but in May the number of applications was back up to 152. Data for the number of consents then issued by Council showed 114 and 129 were granted in February and March respectively. In April 101 consents were granted, while 116 were issued in May. Strictly speaking, that means May’s total is on par with the consents issued in February, pre-lockdown.
A council spokesperson said the information provided to the News related to “all consents including residential and commercial”. Consents are on par with ‘normal’ levels,” although a comparison between Cambridge and Te Awamutu and the respective surrounding areas was not provided. Mayor Jim Mylchreest said he was encouraged by the data, but also cautious. “They are positive signs,” he said. “I suppose my guess is as good as anyone else’s in that we just don’t know exactly what’s ahead. “All we have to go off
Tree trust numbers up By Jeremy Smith
The 30-year-old Cambridge Tree Trust is back planting post Covid-19 – and its voluntary membership has grown it highest level. Chair Eric Todd said it is not uncommon for more than 30 people to show up to help with planting projects around town when the trust gathers every Tuesday at its Thornton Rd base. “There’s a lot of people retiring to Cambridge who are looking for something active and productive to do,” he said. “Given that, our volunteer numbers are certainly booming.”
To cope with the growth Eric said they had looked at dividing into separate planting groups - but were reticent to do so. “We’re not sure we really want to – because a big part of the enjoyment people get from the work we do is the social aspect of it and the camaraderie.” On planting days, as well as the planting crew, there are volunteers who specifically stay back at the base, either working in the shade house or tending to the up to 6000 plants which can be in the trust’s nursery at any one time. A maintenance day – every Thursday – has also been added to
Store closures
Further closures have been signalled for Waipā, this time from Insurance giant AMI. The company is proposing to close its outlets in Cambridge and Te Awamutu and concentrate on call centre services. First Union says the plan, which involves 53 stories across the country, is “irresponsible and short-sighted”.
is what the numbers are showing us, and at the moment, they’re positive.” Mr Mylchreest said it should be considered that the data might include applications for building work which was already planned before Covid-19. “What we don’t know is how long the positive trend will last once existing projects are complete and it’s all new work that is coming in.” Council was focussing on making decisions which help kick start the district’s economy – and positivity was key, he said. “From a Council pers-

the trust’s calendar. Its aim is to set aside time for volunteers to tend to existing plantings they have already put in the ground as part of existing projects all over Cambridge.” “We could still always do with more help and volunteers though,” Eric said. “We never really catch up on our workload – it never stops. Every time we finish a project there’s always two more waiting.” The trust’s first planting initiative post-lockdown – which volunteers have been working on for the past two Tuesdays – is work below Canoe Racing New Zealand’s High Performance training centre at Lake Karapiro’s Mighty River Domain. As work continued there this week, Mr Todd said about 20 people were on hand. Mighty River Domain site manager Liz Stolwyk said the work trust volunteers were doing below the centre would improve the area immensely. “We are exceptionally lucky that we have such an active, passionate and well-organised group like the tree trust in Cambridge,” she said. With a long-term view in mind, Eric said having a hand in the beautification of Cambridge for future generations was very satisfying. “We all really enjoy the work we do. Even for us today, we owe so much of what we enjoy about town to the foresight and hard work of those who went before us.”
pective, that’s why we have continued the projects we have, because that work has a flow on effect for the district financially. “From my perspective, its most important that we remain positive as we keep working and planning during the recovery – the more we can be positive, the better off we’re going to be.” Meanwhile, while Mr Mylchreest didn’t have exact figures, he was pleased to see “life” returning to both the Cambridge and Te Awamutu CBDs. “It’s great to see them both looking busy again.”
Cambridge Tree Trust was founded in 1991 by Lola Silcock. The trust has overseen multiple major planting projects around Cambridge – including Lola Silcock Park on Bath St, Meadow Walk in Alpers Ridge, work behind Resthaven in Vogel St, and the Oak and Maple arboretum in Swayne Rd.

Business recovery – confident, cautious By Viv Posselt
Planning for business recovery around a projected increase in redundancies and a lengthy recovery period was a key message to business leaders attending the first major post-lockdown event organised by the Cambridge Chamber of Commerce. Forty people representing large-scale businesses attended the June 24 ‘Leaders Lunch’ where Waipā District Council CEO Garry Dyet, and Michael Bassett-Foss from Waikato’s regional economic development agency, Te Waka, gave presentations. Cambridge Chamber CEO Kelly Bouzaid said the gathering presented an opportunity to reconnect, share insights, and “check the pulse of our wider business community” as
the region braces for the hard-hitting effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. “It was widely acknowledged that there is a need for sector orientated regional recovery planning. We are already aware of the problems facing certain sectors like the events, tourism and hospitality industries, however economists are forecasting a 19 percent shrinkage in the construction industry, and suggest that redundancies across Waipā alone will creep upward to 2000 by March 2021.” Michael Basset-Foss presented datasets specific to Waipā, which Ms Bouzaid said added relevance to “our position as compared to the broader Waikato region”. The Chamber will distribute datasets to the business community from Te Waka and
Infometrics via the District Council. “Te Waka distributed over $140,000 in Covid funding across 110 businesses across our region via their business advisory services, and will continue to work in the economic recovery space with like-minded organisations, including the Cambridge Business Chamber, mindful that forecasts suggest it will be 2025 before we achieve full recovery,” she said. “The end of the wage subsidy extension will be a telling date for many.” Garry Dyet shared the district’s economic recovery plan as it covers community and infrastructure investment. Ms Bouzaid said the council was asked to provide more information around its revised procurement policy, with greater weighting towards
Global walk to return By Jeremy Smith
A popular event on the Cambridge social calendar will return in November. After a year off in 2019, organiser Florence Shearman has confirmed the Global Walk celebrating the value of older people is coming back. “When we didn’t hold it last year, we got so many queries and requests about when it was going to be held again. “There seems to be a lot of excitement about it,” she said. The 2020 Global Walk is planned for November 2, when it is anticipated about 150 participants will take part. Florence said the day - to be held at Cambridge Raceway - will be made up of a bike ride around the track, led by
2004 Athens Olympics gold medallist Sarah Ulmer, sulky rides - including a two-person set-up - then the walk itself. “So far, Mayor Jim Mylchreest and Cambridge Primary School principal Mike Pettit have also signed up to have a ride in the sulky,” Florence smiled. In her mind, there is one particular highlight many people enjoy. “Lots of people who attend don’t take part in the walk itself, but they love the entertainment the day provides - and funnily enough they mostly enjoy watching the two-person sulky fly around the track.” In Cambridge, the Global Walk was first held about a decade ago - but Florence first started it in 1999, when she lived in Thames. “I got every town in Thames/
Coromandel completing the walk at the same time on the same day.” She said Office of Seniors director Diane Turner was also going to be in Cambridge for the walk. Cambridge Primary School principal Mike Pettit said because Covid-19 had delayed the school’s annual Book Week - of which Grandparents Day was a part – this year, they had come up with a plan. Grandparents Day will be held on the same day as the Global Walk, with primary school children coming along to take part. “It’s going to be a lot of fun,” he said. For more information on the 2020 Global Walk celebrating the value of older people, phone Florence on 027 278 1286.
local selection and quarterly accountability reports. In response to prompting from the floor, the council expressed a commitment to minimising barriers to recovery projects. “I believe there is an awareness in council, from the top down, of the need to reduce red tape. There is a realisation that we need to move fast, and that there will be a level of frustration and intolerance if we cannot do so.” She said while May’s pedestrian counter in Cambridge reached only 2017 levels, June had exceeded 2019 levels. “So, while we have a relatively optimistic Cambridge here and now, no-one knows how this will look in the next few months. There are challenges and opportunities ahead, but it needs to be balanced with caution.”

Charity helps Waikato kids in need By Viv Posselt
Linda Roil knows a lot about the importance of warm winter pyjamas. She is founder and organiser of the not-for-profit group, Kids in Need Waikato. It is to that charity that hundreds of pairs of pyjamas collected throughout June by Cambridge Real Estate will be donated, then filtered through to children and teens in need. An appreciative Linda said it was “items like pyjamas, socks and underwear, things that need to be new”, which is one of the charity’s biggest clothing costs.
Linda and her volunteers make up packs for babies and youngsters, up to the age of 18. They go to children in foster care, to those being raised by grandparents or others who are not their biological parent … each pack is individualised, and more are given out as the child grows. Last year, they handed out 1000 packs, including nearly 300 Christmas packs. “When children are placed into care, they often have nothing but a few scrappy clothes in plastic bags,” she said. “As far as possible, we find out each child’s interests and put together a pack with
age-appropriate clothing and a few other items they might like, things like toiletries, a book or a toy they can treasure. We also give them a sports bag and a backpack to store it all in.” The youngsters they support are either in care or are referred through a social service provider. Linda started Kids in Need Waikato in 2017, largely on the back of her own experience in fostering a year earlier. It grew fast into the unique operation it is today – one that became a Charitable Trust in 2018 and saw Linda and her husband purchase a storage shed in which to
store the growing number of donated items. “We are overwhelmed by people’s generosity,” she said, pointing out the filled shelves in the newly lined shed. COVID-19 has made it busier and means they can no longer accept used toys. “Because of the risks, donated toys must be new.” The operation works across the Waikato but has drawn acclaim to the point where several other areas are keen to look at the model. “We are often asked if there is something similar in Wellington or Christchurch. But Cambridge is the heart of Kids in Need Waikato
Birthday bonus for trust By Viv Posselt
Linda Roil and her Kids in Need Waikato charity became the second recipient to benefit from the Give it Back Charitable Trust earlier this week when she took possession of a newly sign-written vehicle aimed at helping her team do their work. The Cambridge-based Trust assisted with part-funding the vehicle; their logo joined that of other sponsors of the vehicle - Cambridge Real Estate, Laser Plumbing, Edge Protection NZ and SignBoss on the side and rear of the new Mazda BT50. The delivery of the van on Monday
was made more special as it was Linda’s birthday. The five Give it Back trustees are David Cooney, Jono McCullough, Rob Clancy, Lee Turner, and Tania Witheford. The Trust was formed to provide recognition for the unsung volunteers and heroes of the Cambridge community, to provide financial support for health and welfare needs, and to encourage others to get involved in the local community. Its first recipient was the Salvation Army’s Cambridge Corps. In late May, the Trust, working in conjunction with New World Cambridge and
because I’m here and this was the first community that helped me get it going.” She is grateful for the support from Cambridge, particularly as the effects of Covid-19 deepen among struggling families. Cambridge Real Estate has also helped sponsor the purchase of a ute coming on stream this month, but two additional sponsors willing to give $1000 a year are being sought to help fund its ongoing costs. As the workload increases, Linda has updated the charity’s website (www. kindsinneed.co.nz) and has taken on a personal assistant.

with guidance from the Salvation Army, put together a van load of groceries for Cambridge people most in need. At the time, Tania Witheford said the Salvation Army was “doing impactful work in our community” and was an organisation that needed a helping hand. The Trust’s second recipient Linda Roil said of Monday’s presentation: “It was very emotional when I went to pic the ute up. I felt so proud … proud that the sponsors believe in what we do, proud that we are making a difference to so many Linda Roil in the driver’s seat of the new Kids in Need Waikato vehicle.

Obituary – PETER KNOX 1.10.1958-30.3.2020
By Viv Posselt
Giant of a Lion laid to rest
Peter Knox was every inch a fighter. He was tireless when helping others, and when news came that his own life would be cut short, he put up a battle so valiant that even his doctors were surprised he lasted as long as he did. He was a perfectionist, a man with a huge generous heart, one who wanted to squeeze every moment out of living. Despite the struggle, cancer claimed him on March 30, just days into the brutal lockdown that prevented many family members visiting him in the hospice. He was just 61. “He was absolutely gutted,” said his daughter Leanne. “Soon before he passed, he told me, “I thought I had more time than this”. To the hundreds who knew Peter, who benefited from his volunteering through the Lions organisation, through St John and a host of community groups, he always put painstaking effort into ensuring everything was exactly as he wanted it. He applied the same fervour to planning his final farewell, held on June 15 at the Sir Don Rowlands Centre at Lake Karapiro amid over 450

Leanne said he planned the venue, the catering, the speakers and the music … a touch of Rod Stewart and old church hymns. “He let me pick the Bible verses, though, and we did make a few tiny changes,” she smiled. Peter was born in Auckland in 1958, then adopted out; after finding his birth mother later in life, he revelled in having “two mums”. His job in sales and marketing took him around the country, and with wife Janelle and daughters Leanne and Vicki, the family
spent 13 years living in Tokoroa before coming to Cambridge in 2010. Leanne remembers her dad’s nonstop volunteering, including with the local firefighters, St John and the local police; he also coached and refereed youth hockey. While with the Tokoroa Lions, Peter served on District Cabinet as Zone Chairman – his involvement in Cabinet lasted up to the day he died. Cambridge came to know him not only through Lions and other groups, but also as the project manager for the
Leamington development encompassing Freshchoice Supermarket and The Five Stags. He served on numerous Cambridge Lions committees before becoming president in 2012/13 and building the Leamington model railway tunnel. Peter’s Lions Club colleagues Fred Hansen and Brian Quinlan co-officiated the affair. A firm friend for 15 years, Fred said Peter was good at seeing a need then finding a way to meet it. “We believe his greatest joy was chairing the Grants Committee, and he had a particular rapport with young people in need.” He turned fundraising into an art … he was adept at teasing out tail-twister ‘fines’ among members for mild misdemeanours, either real or imagined. He helped with the Lions’ speechmaker contests, and together with Fred, helped negotiate the $100,000 the Lions gave to the Cambridge pool project. He was involved with Balloons over Waikato for four years, and money he helped raise went to the Lions Cancer Society Lodge. Peter supported the Cancer Society long before he was himself diagnosed. He put
even more years into helping support the Huntington’s Disease Youth Organisation after Janelle was diagnosed with the disease 17 years ago. In his role as a marriage celebrant, he asked couples to donate to that organisation rather than pay his fee. Always up for a gag, Peter and Fred posed as ‘doctors’ wanting to check out Brian Quinlan for bedsores after he had broken his hip in Adelaide last year. “We had the full cooperation of clinic staff and dressed in full plastic gowns – Brian didn’t recognise either
of us!” And when facing radiation treatment, Peter dressed in yellow as a nod to the ‘yellow’ machine he used – his drivers did the same. Peter’s service was recognised through numerous awards, including life membership to St John, and to the Lions’ Lloyd Morgan Charitable Trust. He was a Melvin Jones Fellow, the recipient of a Lions’ International Presidents Medal, and last year, was presented with a Cambridge Community Board Community Service Award.

Aucks get short cut to our water
CAMBRIDGE NEWS | 9
THURSDAY JULY 2, 2020
The Government has been praised over its handling of an Auckland bid to draw more Waikato River water – but relations between the provinces remains tense. Auckland was accused by the Waikato Regional Council chair Russ Rimmington of going behind Waikato’s back last week then it sought to have Watercare’s application to be pushed up a priority list. Auckland Mayor Phil Goff asked the Government to fast-track the city’s application to take an extra 200 million litres a day from the Waikato River. He said the city had been waiting for more than seven years was still “106th in the queue”. Environment Minister David Clark announced on Tuesday the government was “calling in” the application, meaning it would not have to go through the full Resource Management Act process. The matter will go to a Board of Inquiry led by a current or retired Environment Court judge The Regional Council said it welcomed the minister’s “leadership” in calling for an independent Board of Inquiry to consider Watercare’s 2013 consent application. Chief executive Vaughan Payne said the
board would provide a robust assessment of the application against the Resource Management Act. “It will test whether the water requested is in fact needed now and in the future, and it will look at the viability of alternative water sources and ensure consistency with the Te Ture Whaimana o Waikato (Vision & Strategy for the Waikato River). “Our understanding is that this 200 million litres a day is not required now, which is why Watercare never requested their application to be fast-tracked.” The application, if successful would lift the volume of Waikato water going to Watercare to 350 million litres a day. The mood between the provinces is in contrast to an apparent accord between them just two weeks ago after a joint statement announced “the two regions have committed to a more enduring relationship going forward, with the next step being a combined meeting to include, among others, Waikato-Tainui and the Waikato River Authority (WRA)”. On Tuesday the joint head of the WRA, Roger Pikea, suggested Auckland was getting through the back door – and had someone
waiting to open it. The WRA wants the Local Government Minister – Te Tai Hauāuru MP Nanaia Mahuta - to launch an inquiry into Auckland’s water crisis and its potential impact on the river. Goff has scoffed at suggestions from the WRA that Auckland pay 10c a litre for Waikato water – a fee that could levy the city $20 million a day. The authority is an independent Crown and iwi voice acting on behalf of the river. Authority chief executive Bob Penter said the 10c per litre figure was a starting point aimed at trying to understand what Watercare will do to support the restoration and protection of the Waikato River. Russ Rimmington has previously voiced concerns over Auckland’s failure to sort its own water issues out. He believes forwardthinking building conditions, which require water storage., should be introduced. He said the application for 200 million litres a day was lodged in 2013 based on predicted future needs towards the end of this decade, not 2021. “On this basis it is disingenuous to use the fast track legislation as the application is
Accelerating the youth programme
By Jeremy Smith
A programme for teenagers founded in Cambridge is one of 10 not-for-profit ventures selected for a pilot initiative. Taku Wairua, started by Cambridge-born Thomas Nabbs just under two years ago, has been chosen to take part in the Open Challenge Accelerator – an eightmonth curriculum being run by Impact Hub Waikato.
The accelerator’s aim is to help participants by providing them with of capacity building workshops, mentoring and expert advice, peer support and international connections. The accelerator is funded by Tauranga Energy Consumer Trust (Tect), Bay Trust, Trust Waikato and Waikato Farmer’s Trust and now, two months into the inaugural programme, the first physical workshops of the initiative were
held in Hamilton last week. For Thomas, Taku Wairua – which began in 2018 – grew out of a need he saw while facilitating an earlier initiative he started. Called The Waterboy, that programme simply began as a way to give disadvantaged youth the opportunity to play sport. “It made me realise that these kids had needs far more widereaching than just sport.” And so, Taku Wairua, a name

not for Auckland’s current needs. He earlier also used the “backdoor” comparison. He said there had been no mention by Auckland Council and Watercare during recent meetings that they Russ Rimmington would ask the Environment Select Committee to include the 2013 consent application as its 12th project for the Covid-19 Recovery (Fast-track Consenting) Bill 2020. “…so this has been a real surprise and quite frankly it’s offensive. It’s a backdoor approach that prevents openness and transparency. That’s not how we work in the Waikato.” Watercare sought to invoke emergency provisions under the Resource Management Act earlier this month to take an extra 25 million litres of water a day from the Waikato River. The city is in the midst of its worst water shortage in a quarter of a century.

Timely opening High school spruce for exhibitions up continues at pace By Matteo Di Maio
The first major milestone in a million-dollar infrastructure upgrade at Cambridge High School is near. Builders recently finishing work waterproofing the exterior of the school’s library block and the project is expected to be completed in the first week of the July school holidays. School business manager Amanda Wright said the library upgrade entailed “exterior weather tightness” and the top windows and roof of the building was also replaced. The library renovation is the first step in a programme of Ministry of Education-funded improvements at Cambridge High. A total of $9m was allocated to the school by the Ministry in 2016 to refurbish buildings which have served Cambridge High since the
1950s and ‘60s. Upcoming projects include renovations to the school’s M and R&D blocks, as well as refurbishing F block. That work will begin over the school holidays. Work on the M and R&D blocks had been delayed, continuing a “focus” on rebuilding the entirety of the school’s “S” arts and culture block. Weather tightness improvements are ongoing on the school’s super loo,and will also be completed by the start of next term. Work on the library cladding began before the start of the 2020 school year, and was delayed by the Covid level four lockdown. “The contractors were able to come back on site once we moved to level 3,” Wright said. Work is coordinated by the Ministry, and the funding came as part of their Capital Works state school construction project.
New centre up and running Janaya Christie and Pahi O’Carrol have work on display in the Whakapuawai exhibition.
Two exhibitions in Te Awamutu celebrate the past and the future of art at Te Wānanga o Aotearoa. The Te Awamutu Museum is hosting artworks from Te Kōpuni Kura, the extensive $3.7 million Te Wānanga o Aotearoa art collection comprising works by former and current toi kaiako (art tutors), while the Apakura Campus in Factory Rd hosts Whakapuāwai, an exhibition of works by Te Wānanga o Aotearoa toi graduates. Te Kōpuni Kura opened on Monday and
runs until September 20. Whakapuāwai: Te Wānanga o Aotearoa Toi Graduate Exhibition is on at the Marie Panapa Gallery, Apakura Campus, from July 14 to September 14. The gallery is open to the public from Monday to Fridays, 10am 4pm. The twin exhibitions are being held in part to mark the 35th anniversary of Te Wānanga o Aotearoa - one of the largest providers of toi Māori education in Aotearoa - and Poutiaki Toi Art Collection Curator Aisha Roberts says they are a great chance to reconnect with the community.
Ōhaupō Community Sport and Recreation Centre was officially opened by Mayor Jim Mylchreest on Sunday. The $1.7m purpose-built Forkert Rd centre was four years in the making. The new facility replaces the former rugby clubrooms and includes a community room, a kitchen, bar facilities, a separate clubroom, changing rooms and a
gym. Deputy Mayor Liz Stolwyk, chair of the centre’s steering committee was pleased to see about 150 people were present at the opening. “It was full to overflowing. What I think was really cool about the project was that the community fundraised for it themselves – it’s a pretty special project,” she said. Council contributed
a $703,000 grant to the project, of which $500,000 will be repaid through a targeted rate paid by village house-holds over 30 years. The remaining $203,000 contribution from Council came from a reserve fund built up by earnings from arbitrage arrangements. The community fundraising team also made use of the Waipā Community Trust.

FAITH IN WAIPĀ
Everyone needs water… By Murray Smith, Senior Leader, Bridges Church
Water is a priceless commodity. It is often taken for granted and when our access to it is constrained, we are reminded how much our lives depend on it. In the Waikato region we are blessed, having relatively reliable rainfall. Nonetheless, immunity to difficult times and drought conditions is never assured. Reliance upon rainfall in a rural agri-context is profoundly tied to the economy as well as to the general well-being of our communities. With multiple groundwater sources plus our beautiful awa flowing at a mean rate of 340 cubic metres per second, water is there - but vigilant stewarding of this precious resource is imperative. For this reason, it is understandable that Tainui as kaitiaki have resisted any glib accession to Auckland’s assumption of increasing its daily scoop of 150 million litres of water from the Waikato River as the city faces its severest drought in modern times. Less than 1mm of rain in 78 days (January 20 to April 6) has contributed to dam levels being significantly lower than requirements for a region accommodating 33% of our nation’s population. It is heart rending to see photos of Auckland’s reservoirs ebbing to such worrying levels. Hopefully the city’s governance will reflect on taking a less ‘entitled’ approach which will facilitate a peaceful accord among stakeholders… particularly since “billions of litres” of water flow daily from the river mouth into the sea. Everyone needs water. I think the account of “Lawrence of Arabia” taking Arab leaders to Paris for the Versailles Peace Conference after World War 1 is classic. Becoming a national war hero in England
by helping the Arabs defeat the Turkish forces, Lawrence formed close friendships with these men of the desert and travelled to Europe with some of them. Many things they saw astonished them but none more than the running water in their hotel rooms. Simply turning on taps provided all the water they wanted. As the Arab delegation prepared to leave Paris, Lawrence found them trying to unfasten bathroom taps to take away so they would have running water when they returned to the desert. He explained that behind the taps were systems of reservoirs and plumbing and that without these, the taps were useless. What I’ve written points to an analogy. As stated, water is essential to our lives. Without it, life is unsustainable… while water satisfies physical thirst, at a deeper level something is required to fully quench the real ‘thirst,’ built into everyone of us. We are born spiritually ‘thirsty’ - with longings for purpose, meaning, identity, hope and connection. These aren’t psychological needs as much as they are a spiritual deficit residing within every man and woman. Those Arab leaders hoped the ‘taps’ would deliver an endless water supply. The ‘taps’ we are likely to place hope in to assuage our relentless ‘thirst’ maybe accumulation of ‘stuff’, accomplishments, relationships or endless other pursuits. The final word has to go to Jesus, who truly knowing humanity’s need said, “whoever drinks of the water that I give shall never thirst; but the water that I give will be a well of water springing up to eternal life.”
NO PLANET B
Can we reach this goal?
By Peter Matthews
I wrote, a couple of weeks ago, how rich people consume proportionally more resources than non-rich people. Since then I have been thinking about this, and I have reached what seems to me to be the only possible conclusion - the environmentally sustainable world to which we ‘greenies’ aspire must be an impossible dream. Gorge Monbiot said in 2019: “If everyone pursues private luxury there are simply not enough resources to meet everyone’s needs.” At first glance this statement appears to be true. But what he says is “if everyone pursues...” Of course, everyone does but not everyone achieves it. This is why those who succeed in their pursuit of private luxury are able to have it - because most people do not succeed. Yet this is the basis of capitalism, a system built on the principals of progressive economic growth. Our environment is already breaking under the strain of human development and progress, and yet governments and economists around the world demand constant growth. At a growth rate of 3% per annum an economy will double in size in less than 25 years. Nature can hardly cope right now - but we’re supposed to double the load in 25 years. It’s just not going to work. Is there a solution? I don’t know. It’s a sobering argument sure enough, but even having just articulated it I think I have to admit that if I could afford the lifestyle of a billionaire, I might be tempted to have it and enjoy it. But what then - to hell with everyone else? Or would I buy large tract of land right here in New Zealand and re-wild it, convert it to native bush, eradicate all the
pests, and open it to the public? How many of us would do that? Monbiot went on to say “If we try to obtain public luxury then we create space and support for everyone” which would seem to be an endorsement of the latter option. I am not proposing the overthrow of capitalism but it might be a good idea if some of the people who have achieved the goal of ultimate private luxury would then devote the usually considerable remainder of their financial resources to such environmentally beneficial endeavours as the Maungatautari Ecological Island Trust to name just one. Or maybe groups of people who have achieved financial stability could band together towards similar goals. So, I guess I am saying that we are all, in fact, entitled to pursue private luxury. But if we are lucky enough to achieve it, do we not then have a responsibility to look after the world which provides it to us? A sustainable world may eventually turn out to have been an impossible dream, but there is hope in the fact that one of the qualities of the human race which has brought it thus far, is a tendency to achieve things which seemed impossible.

THE AGE OF REASON
Seeing Godzone – at the right pace Some Sundays I look at the screen seeking inspiration or a suitable subject. I am conscious that on Tuesday this week we would (before the virus hit) have been joining a cruise ship heading towards Japan for a subsequent holiday in historic Kansai. We would take three weeks to reach Yokohama via some interesting interim ports along the way. But sadly, as I look at my campervan, I have to turn inwards to seek suitable local destinations for the time being. And to forget dwelling on what could have been - instead getting creative of what could be. As this country has much to offer it is apparent that our tourist-related industries could well benefit from being inundated by Kiwis seeking clean air, green spaces, tumbling rivers and pristine beaches. Each time we venture out on the road in our big white vehicle we are conscious that our overseas counterparts, who drive rental units, are not there to join us. Which is a pity for the many interesting conversations I have had with overseas camping people alongside lakes or beaches
makes me aware of the huge attraction this lovely country has for people who fly enormous distances, at no small cost, to soak in Kiwiana. I have yet to meet anyone on these trips who has had a major gripe. They are always grateful for tips as to alternative routes, ideal camping areas, food options and stopping spots not cluttered with thousand of holiday makers. Last week’s photographs of the beach at Bournemouth, UK being a very good reason for them to flee. But sadly, they cannot – yet. As these months of enforced behindthe-border internment continue many of us will have the opportunity to revel in verdant splendour, clear skies and currently cool temperatures. Despite some doomsayers downgrading the opportunity the country is very much open for business and we should fully exploit it. Not just for our personal enjoyment but to assist those who make an honest living from travellers to remain solvent.

in campervans, or in cars towing caravans, to warmer climes. Northern Queensland is usually full of them at this time of the year. I have no objection – and possibly a smidgen of pride - in being noted as a Grey (or perhaps white) Nomad. One of the parts of the body not normally hidden from view is the colour of one’s hair – or what is left of it. Usually owners of snowy hair take the road at a more sedate pace sometimes to the disgust of those road hogs for whom 30 seconds saved on a two-hour journey is an imperative. And in doing so sadly add to the horrific toll for which the real cost in either physical loss or life-saving terms is really incalculable. The strain on the faces of firemen, police officers and hospital ED staff says it all. They do not need this carnage. They deserve far better being simply allowed to get on with their real jobs.
A Cambridge church has announced a July service – for people left grieving and unable to attend funerals during the locks down. Nanette Jenkin, of the Union Parish of Cambridge, said with many people unable to attend funerals during lockdown the church through it important to hold a short Loving Memories Service. She hoped the July 11 service at Trinity St Paul’s would give some “closure”.
Big change at Weltrust
Weeks after the sale of shares to an off-shore company, four Wel Energy Trust member have been voted out of office. Two others did not seek re-election, leaving just Mark Hamill, who opposed the sale, still in his seat. The Hamilton based trust was criticised by Hamilton East MP David Bennett after Wel Networks Limited and Waipā Networks Limited sold their shares in UFF Holdings Limited to First State Investments. The election attracted a turnout of under 14 per cent and four candidates who stood under a Bring Back Discounts banner were elected. Waipa Networks Ltd, owned by the Waipa Networks Trust, holds its next elections in October 2021.

GONE FISHIN’ Te Awamutu’s Ben Carey is a commercial tuna fisherman – when he’s not fishing there’s a good chance he’ll be writing about it. Today Ben joins our stable of columnists.
Why you should buy local About 18 years or so ago now, but probably closer to 20, major fishing brands across New Zealand decided to go global or online. Their business model changed completely, and with a simple click of a button we could now look at all of the fishing products we liked online and simply add products to the cart, and get our fishing gear sent directly to our homes or businesses without the need of even walking into a store. Here in Te Awamutu, I remember all too well what happened when one small family owned fishing retailer started feeling the heat. At my local fishing store, my mate would proclaim that “loyal customers would never desert us” but sadly, their view was more hope than fact, and little by little over the next two years people began to drive out of town either to buy fishing gear that they had seen a lot cheaper online, or simply just bought it online and had the product sent to them. It even got to the point where some customers would come into the shop and ask his opinion on something they had seen
ITC
online – then proceed to shop elsewhere out of town for a cheaper deal or buy it online. He or she would turn up on the next charter boat fishing trip (that he the retailer had booked) out on the boat with a flash brand new fishing rod and reel that this retailer had put in the time and the effort to try and sell. Sadly, this meant local shoppers wouldn’t be buying from him regularly anymore, or at the very least “loyal customers” would look around elsewhere first. His major rod and reel suppliers could now sell directly to the public for a cheaper price, so I can only assume a lot of these small family businesses were cut out of the deal. The times of walking into a fishing shop and getting good information about where the fish are biting, whilst sitting out the back of the store with a few other likeminded fisho’s over a good cup of coffee, or even simply putting your name down on the white board as soon as you walked into the shop for charter boat trips he had already booked out of Kawhia or Tauranga are now all but a distant memory.
LTD
And with that, so did the knowledge that these people had to offer. How many fishing stores can you honestly say nowadays that you can take your fishing rods and reels in to get serviced, or get rod guides fixed when they break off for whatever reason, or even find those retailers that can tie their own fly fishing gear for trout, or make up their own flasher rigs for snapper, terakihi, or gurnard by just dropping into your local store? I’d say only be a handful. This isn’t just limited to fishing stores either but could include small businesses here in Te Awamutu or Cambridge. A fair few of you reading this may even own a small business yourselves. But what can we do? People’s shopping habits have certainly changed, and even in the digital era we all live in now, at one click of a button we can now find information about where the fish are biting daily with up to date fishing reports about where it’s happening at any time of the day, the weather conditions by the hour, and a whole lot of stuff I’ve probably forgot to mention.
I do feel sorry for those small business owners. It all goes back to the old saying – “When you buy from a small business, you’re not helping a CEO buy a 3rd holiday home. You’re helping a little girl get dance lessons, a little boy his sporting team jersey, and mums and dads help put food on the table”. Shop local. It is the only one way to get this world pointing in the right direction.

D-Day for Waipā race track Te Awamutu’s exclusion from the 2020-21 racing calendar could be confirmed tomorrow. The Racetrack road course was one of 10 venues not listed for racing when the proposed calendar was released on May 29. Signals the Waipā club’s Te Awamutu track, Avondale, Te Teko, Gisborne, Wairoa, Waipukurau, Blenheim (Waterlea),

Motukarara, Waikouaiti and Omakau would not make the cut were indicated two weeks earlier and consultation closed on June 15. Early this month Waipā club president Doug Hurrell declined to comment to the Te Awamutu News, saying he wanted club members to be consulted ahead of a submission. The News left several messages asking him to call to comment this week. Mr Hurrell was earlier reported as saying he was surprised to Waipā has been left off the calendar. “We thought of our vicinity to the great horse population in the Waikato. And we are rare spices as we are a freehold club with money in the bank… and wouldn’t of thought we are costing the industry too much other than the ordinary race day expenses,” Stuff reported him as saying. The club had just finished replacing a section of track at their own cost in the week the calendar was announced. It had earlier closed the track for 12 months and had earlier had “embarrassing cancellations” of races on the day over safety issues. The proposed calendar allows for a handful of dates on the new under-construction Cambridge track – one of three synthetic tracks approved for New Zealand racing. The others
will be at Awapuni and Riccarton. It is thought the club could be considered as a venue for some trial dates. At the time the calendar was released New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing (NZTR) CEO Bernard Saundry said every thoroughbred racing club in New Zealand had a history and a part to play and his organisation had done significant work over the past 18 months on a venue plan designed to future proof the racing industry. The proposed meeting numbers in the draft calendar reflected a 17 percent decrease in meetings since 2009 - from 328 to 273 and a 17 percent decline in individual starters, from 5826 to 4812. Saundry also commented on a dwindling foal crop – down 28 percent since 2005, which had resulted in a smaller pool of horses and even before COVID-19. “Nationally the average field size has fallen from 11.12 to 10.49 in 2019 and will have declined further by end of 2020. These figures are the stark reality of New Zealand’s available thoroughbred racing crop,” he said. He acknowledged an argument could be made for the survival of each individual venue, “but where would that get us?”
Garage sale raises funds for brigade By Jeremy Smith
$25 Off
A weekend garage sale will see $350 donated to Cambridge Volunteer Fire Brigade. Harris Construction ran the fundraiser on Saturday, as part of a wider occasion to officially name the laneway outside its Albert St premises ‘Eddie’s Way.’ The lane, which several other business also occupy, was bestowed the moniker after the owner of the buildings on the lane – Eddie Webb. Harris Construction owner operator Lance Harris said the day was an enjoyable occasion, despite it being a

cold, rainy day. “Over the years, Eddie has always offered sound business acumen, so we thought it would be a nice thing to do for him.” The money raised at the garage sale came from selling a variety of tools that were either surplus or no longer required by the Harris Construction. The donation given to the brigade was 20 percent of the total. “We ended up selling the majority of what we had to sell this time too,” Mr Harris said. The business was always happy to support the brigade. “We always will – the work they do in
our community is so invaluable.” He added that they would possibly hold a similar garage sale again in the future to support the brigade again. Cambridge Volunteer Fire Brigade chief fire officer Don Gerrand told the News on Tuesday he was delighted to receive the donation. “It’s very generous of them and we’re certainly grateful for their efforts,” he said. On the same day, Harris Construction also launched its new kitchen and bathroom trailer – designed for customers to use while work is done on those areas of their homes.

The champs are back – at last
The longest preseason in history finally came to an end for Hautapu Premiers on Saturday and was celebrated with a big win. The Waikato’s reigning champions continued their unbeaten run with a resounding 44-0 win over University on a day when Te Awamutu and Otorohanga also celebrated wins The delay for Hautapu was extended by the late withdrawal last week of Matamata from the competition. Matamata announced the club had been hit so hard by Covid-19 that it could not field teams in both the Premier A and B divisions and would instead field one team in B division. That made headlines last weekend because the club fielded former Black Caps skipper Brendon McCullum in its 22-20 win over Melville. The club has told members it plans to fill its Senior A position next season. A break in the wintery conditions coincided with the kick-off against
University and while the pitch was heavy the rain stayed away for the duration. Hautapu’s enthusiasm got the better of them in the first quarter, as they played too much rugby in their own half and while opening the scoring early, they failed to capitalise on a number of opportunities. The back end of the second half saw first five Coby Miln start to control field position and the Hautapu forwards gained ascendancy with strong ball carries and improved continuity. The Hautapu’s defence proved too physical and organised for a spirited University attack and the theme continued in the second half. The pleasing result was tempered by injuries to Chiefs prop Ryan Coxon and Waikato and former Chiefs loose forward Mitch Jacobsen. Hautapu won the corresponding Premier B fixture 38-7. The conditions was best suited for the team with a dominant forward
As it was, the third try came from the sheer dominance from the forward pack who pushed Varsity backwards in the scrum, the ball skewed out and there was a try in the corner before the break. The second half was played in better conditions, the rain stayed away and both teams played more ball in had rugby.
Hautapu again played intelligently and prowled of Varsity’s mistakes. Hautapu extended the lead to 24 before University was rewarded for a concerted period of attach. Hautapu then then wrapped up the win with a further two tries. The teams hosts Hamilton Marist next Saturday.
Leamington on top Leamington tops the Division 1 Waikato club rugby table after a 26-8 win last weekend at Eastern Suburbs. The Leamington Cambridge Stud Senior A’s led 12-3 at half time in a match where they dominated set pieces and had the better of the open play but lost the battle at the breakdown. Leamington made the most of their opportunities with first half tries to Regan Erueti and Tod Foster and a conversion to Kahu Waiwai. Suburbs replied with a penalty. Erueti backed up well to take an in pass from Jarred Davy and score his second for Waiwai to convert and extended the lead in the second half before Suburbs scored a five pointer to stay in touch 19-8 Ethan Wildgoose scored out wide to earn the bonus
point and Waiwai was on point again to slot a sideline conversion. The Leamington Regal Agriculture Colts beat Hamilton Marist 31-3 after an arm wrestle of a second half after the teams turned with the score as 24-3. The Leamington Waipa Civil senior B’s lost 25-15 in their first hit-out for the year. Pete Lacey and Jack Heslip scored tries, Kade Ormsby kicked a conversion and Andrew Brown a penalty. The Leamington Carricks Financial Partners under 85Kg team was beaten by a strong Hamilton Old Boys side 29-17 after leading 17-0 at the break. Leamington’s points came from a Lewis Meerkerk try and conversion and tries to Jamie Campbell and Nic Bolger.

pack and that is exactly what the development team had on the day. The dominance of the forwards made life easy for the development team on attack and defence. Hautapu went ahead with two converted tries and became more adventurous in the conditions as they attempted creative plays which almost led to more points.

THURSDAY JULY 2, 2020
Great watching, but it’s pointless… Cambridge football supporters are getting plenty of entertainment – but no wins so far – as the Reds’ Northern League season gets rolling. At the start of the delayed season, head coach Paul Richardson promised the club’s new signings would add flair and goals this season, but the team would likely concede a few goals too. So it’s proving. After two games of their Lotto NRFL second division campaign, the Reds have scored five goals but are yet to secure a win. Last weekend, they lost 3-2 at John Kerkhof Park to Oratia United, following their 4-3 loss to Claudelands Rovers in the season opener. The Reds started well and took the lead after 20 minutes through Josh Clarkin. Oratia came back with two goals in five minutes, both from Matthew Banks, before Mike Cosgrave scored his first goal for Cambridge to send the teams into the break at 2-2. The turning point in the match came 10 minutes in the second spell when Oratia were awarded a penalty for a clumsy tackle on the edge of the area. Banks calmly stroked the ball past Cambridge keeper Fraser Nicholls to complete his hat-trick. The Reds piled on the pressure late in the game and forced a series of corners, but they couldn’t break through. On Saturday they travel to Hibiscus Coast, north of Auckland. In Saturday’s early game, the Reds reserves won 4-1 against Oratia, thanks to two goals from 16-year-old Aston Hurd. The Reds had trailed from a Harry Cuthbert goal in the 21st minute but fought back with a Fabian Munoz penalty and a James Young effort. Hurd scored twice in the second half to seal the win. Cambridge’s third team gave up their unbeaten start to the season when they lost 1-0 at new WaiBOP Championship leaders Taupo, with the winner coming four minutes from the final whistle. The team plays mid-table Tokoroa at John Kerkhof Park on Saturday (2.45pm) and a win will keep
Cambridge in touch with competition leaders Taupo and Papamoa. In Waikato Division 2, Cambridge came unstuck against Ngaruawahia United, losing 5-3. Cambridge’s goals were scored by Peter Buesnel (2) and Cullen Tappin. In Division 5, Cambridge’s D1’s lost 4-1 to tabletopping Te Awamutu. Nick Sickelmore scored for Cambridge. Cambridge’s D2 team drew 2-2 at Claudelands Rovers. Scorers were Chris Hill and Andrew Myers while exCambridge player Andy Thomas got the equaliser for Rovers against his former teammates. Cambridge’s women’s team continue to show promise, returning from Ngaruawahia United with a well-earned 1-1 draw. Olivia Sutherland and Kymberly Thomasen combined well to set up Sophie Young’s goal in the 13th minute. The home side levelled in the second spell and though Cambridge squandered a few goalscoring chances, coach Jamie McKean said he was happy with the team’s progress. Meanwhile, both of Cambridge’s youth teams are riding high in their competitions. Cambridge’s U-14 boys moved above second-placed Melville United with a 3-2 win in the WaiBOP Federation Y-League. Melville took an early lead but Blake Allison made it 1-1 after 14 minutes. The Hamilton side went 2-1 ahead in the second half but Matthew Jordan found a second for Cambridge. Lucah de Roo scored the winner for Cambridge in the 50th minute. In the U-12 boys competition, Cambridge and Northern United went into their WaiBOP Federation J-League game as the competition’s unbeaten sides – and that’s how it stayed as they fought a 3-3 draw. Jaxson Makgill scored a double for Cambridge while Luke Brooke-Smith added the other with a long-range effort. Cambridge had the chance to win late but had a Heads up: action from last weekend’s Northern League clash in Cambridge against the green shirted men from Oratia. penalty saved by the United keeper.

Why use a property manager? Managing a rental investment not only takes time and skill, landlords must be conversant with law changes to the Residential
Tenancies Act, understand the legislation and follow the processes. There can also be stresses around finding suitable tenants and maintenance issues to deal with.
“The choice of many”
Keeping a good tenant is critical for a property investor. Good tenants are more likely to stay on if they receive a high level of service. Professional property managers
specialise in looking after investments and optimising returns. They know how to secure good rental rates, see that rents are raised in line with the market, manage properties and maintain high occupancy levels. They carry out regular inspections and are au fait on legal issues and documentation. Should problems arise over a tenant violating or wanting to terminate a contract, a property manager can quickly step in and manage the situation. They ensure the tenant/ owner relationship is conducted in a professional manner and everything is kept on a business footing.

I have a background in frontline customer service and bring this experience to my current role. Having lived in Cambridge for over 20 years, I am familiar with the town and many of its people. My passion for people and property is what influenced my move into Property Management. As Cambridge expands with various sporting facilities, roading construction and simply people wanting to live in Cambridge, so does the demand for rental property. I believe taking the time to talk to people and to go that extra mile is what makes a successful business grow. During lockdown, the daily communication with tenants and landlords created a smooth process to keep arrears to an absolute minimum.

Currying favour
Chilly days equal warming curries. There are some good curry pastes readily available from supermarkets and Asian food stores — ideal for quick family meals. However, there is nothing quite like the tingling taste of a genuine aromatic curry created from scratch. But they do include more than a sprinkling of spices. Because there can be up to 20 ingredients in any one recipe, it’s important to have everything measured out before you start cooking. Indian curries can be served with rice, and/or naan to mop up the juices, as well as refreshing raitas — a cooling mix of vegetables, herbs or fruits sometimes combined with yoghurt. A tomato and mint salad or diced fresh pineapple or a crisp red onion salad are also simple but delicious accompaniments. India’s cuisine is diverse. Recipes tend to be regionally oriented and are influenced by climate, culture and ethnicity. As trade between Europe and India developed, new products such as potatoes and tomatoes have been introduced and become staples in many regions. However, the basic spice mixes remain the same. CAULIFLOWER & POTATO CURRY You can replace the spice mix with 2-3 tablespoons of curry powder but the result will simply not have the same flavour nuances. Spice Mix: 3-4 dried red chillies 2 teaspoons coriander seeds 1/4 teaspoon each: fenugreek, mustard seeds, cumin seeds 3cm piece cinnamon stick
4 peppercorns 2 whole cloves 1/2 teaspoon each: ground turmeric, paprika Curry: 5-6 tablespoons canola oil 1 large onion, diced 11/4 cups water 1 tablespoon grated root ginger 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced 350g potatoes, peeled and cut into 4cm pieces salt to taste 400g large cauliflorets 400g can coconut milk Combine all the spice mix ingredients — except the turmeric and paprika. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a non-stick frying pan. Sauté the onion on low until very soft. Place in a blender. Heat another tablespoon of the oil. Add all the spice mix ingredients except the ground turmeric and paprika. Cook over low heat for 30 seconds. Add to the blender with the turmeric, paprika and a 1 cup of the water. Blend until very smooth. Heat the remaining oil and stir-fry the ginger and garlic for a few seconds. Add the spice purée and simmer for 30 seconds. Add the potatoes, salt and the remaining water. Cover and simmer for about 10 minutes. Add the cauliflorets and coconut milk. Cook until the cauli is just tender. Serves 4 as a main or 6 as a part of a small-plate meal. CHICKEN & CASHEWS Ensure the spice mix paste is ground until it is very smooth. Spice mix: 10 plump garlic cloves, peeled 3cm piece root ginger, peeled and grated
Cauliflower and Potato Curry
Chicken and Cashews
2 tablespoons coriander seeds 2 teaspoons cumin seeds 4 dried red chillies 6 cloves 5cm piece cinnamon stick Curry: 225g cashew nuts 1 large onion, diced 1 cup water 3-4 tablespoons canola oil salt 8 skinned and boned chicken thighs 1 cup coconut milk In a large dry frying pan, roast the spice mix over a low heat for 5 minutes. Add 50g of the cashew nuts plus the onion and stir-fry for 10 minutes. Cool. Purée in a blender with the water, until very smooth. Grind 25g of the remaining cashew nuts in a mini blender to make a powder. Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Add the spice mix purée and cook for 1 minute on low heat. Stir in the cashew nut powder and salt and cook for 30 seconds. Add the chicken and fry for 5 minutes, turning once. Add the coconut milk. Cover and cook for 10 minutes on low. Add the remaining cashew nuts and continue to cook until the chicken is tender. Serves 4.
MALABAR PRAWN CURRY Pan-frying the spices enhances the flavour. Prepare all the ingredients before you start cooking. 2 tablespoons canola oil 1/4 teaspoon mustard seeds 8 curry leaves 1 large onion, thinly sliced 1 tablespoon grated root ginger 3 cloves garlic, crushed 1/2 teaspoon each: chilli powder, ground turmeric, coriander, cumin 2 tomatoes, chopped 1 tablespoon tamarind paste 400g can coconut milk 400g raw shelled prawns Heat the oil in a non-stick pan. Add the mustard seeds and cook until beginning to pop. Add the curry leaves and cook on medium for 1 minute. Stir in the onion and sauté until softened. Add the ginger, garlic, dried spices and tomatoes. Stir-fry for 1 minute. Gradually stir in the tamarind paste then the coconut milk. Add the shelled prawns and cook on low until pink, about 2-3 minutes. Great served topped with coriander leaves. Serves 3-4.
