Yarndley’s Bush has a boardwalk that loops through an ancient forest teeming with towering kahikatea before arriving at a viewing platform perched among the treetops.

Vast swathes of kahikatea-dominant swamp forest similar to Yarndley’s Bush once covered New Zealand. But over the past 150 years, more than 90 per cent of the nation’s wetlands have been drained for crops and farmlands. Which makes this unique local remnant very special.

The reserve was fenced off in 1980 by the then owner Mr Sandy Yarndley, and was later purchased by the Waipā District Council in 1992. In conjunction with the Kiwanis Club of Te Awamutu (who contributed more than 700 hours of labour) the reserve was officially opened in 1995.

Today, a boardwalk winds past large kahikatea root buttresses and regenerating

Meet our intern

Good Local Media and Wintec are working together to help produce the next generation of journalists.

From this week 20-year-old Wintec journalism student Danielle Zollickhofer has commenced an internship and will write for the Te Awamutu and Cambridge News as part of her course.

Danielle is from Germany, “but I fell deeply in love with New Zealand during a gap year after I finished my A-Levels back home”.

Her gap year brought her to the Waikato, first as an au pair on a dairy farm in Matamata, then as a student.

She says journalism is in her blood.

“My father Danielle Zollickhofer was a journalist at a local newspaper in my hometown, so it was only natural that I followed in his footsteps,” she said. “The internship combines everything that I am interested in: people stories, community news writing and the beautiful countryside of the Waipā district.

“Talking to active journalists and the people of Cambridge and Te Awamutu will give me a sense of the communities and stories that matter to them. I am looking forward to broadening my horizon and learning what they are interested in, what their stories are and what moves them.”

native plants which cover the forest floor.

Halfway along the loop, there is a viewing platform that gives a bird’s-eye-view of the surrounding forest and a small seating area for young kids to rest their legs and soak up the view. On windy days don’t miss lying on the platform and watching the trees swaying and making spooky sounds above you.

Further along the track look out for kōura and tuna (eels) in the small stream, before following the winding boardwalk as it passes some towering kahikatea – some more than 35 metres tall.

Kahikatea are the country’s tallest native tree and can often be seen poking through the forest canopy. They existed during the Jurassic period, and flying dinosaurs probably swooped down and munched on their fleshy seeds.

Facilities: No toilets.

Walking: Allow 30 to 45 min to complete

the loop walk.

Accessibility: This is an easy walk on boardwalk, grass and dirt paths. Near the walk entrance there is a moderately steep grassed loop.

The walk is suitable for buggies although there is a tight gate entrance to navigate.

Dogs must be on leads.

How to get there: Between Hamilton and Te Awamutu turn off SH3 onto Ngaroto Road. The entrance is 1.5 kilometres on the left, however the car park is a further 180 metres on the right.

I hope you have enjoyed the more springlike weather this week.

The week before last, I was discussing how reporting things to police early is key for effective intervention and crime prevention.

Last week there were a couple of events that backed that up.

Last Friday afternoon, a member of the public came to the station to inform us about a shoplifter she had seen at a local shop.

She had called the male out for his actions as he walked out of the store, telling him he should actually put the item back. He returned the item, left the shop and she then came to us.

The shop keeper had been distracted with other customers and had not seen the theft himself, so her actions definitely prevented stock loss. The member of the public was able to indicate that a second male, still standing outside the store, was possibly an associate of the offender.

In the meantime we obtained information that the second male had been approaching people for money. My colleague and I located him and were able to ascertain that his begging actions stemmed from a situation of homelessness. While he had a bed to stay in that night, food was an issue.

We made a couple of phone calls and were able to begin putting supports in place. He denied knowing the shoplifter however.

From that point, we got CCTV from the shop and circulated the shoplifting male’s photo to local staff.

In the meantime, details of another shop theft came in, and our man was again the culprit. This time, a vehicle registration was obtained.

On Saturday, one of our Constables was on patrol, when who do you think she found? Yes, it was the shoplifter. It turned out he was visiting from out of town. He was arrested and charged with both thefts.

None of this would have happened, and the links would not have been made without the information provided to us by you the public. While approaching a criminal directly is not usually advisable (you don’t know who you are dealing with or what they are capable of), in this instance, it all worked out for the best. In terms of keeping Cambridge safe, together we definitely achieving more.

On the beat with Senior Constable DEB THURGOOD Together, we achieve more

Low lifes steal life saver

By Jeremy Smith

A life-saving AED defibrillator was among items stolen in a spate of “low life” thefts which has left “speechless” Lions of Cambridge volunteers more than $10,000 out of pocket.

The $4000 defibrillator, located at the Lions’ Shed, was put there for community use about 18 months ago. The club believes the defibrillator was stolen at the end of last year.

Astoundingly, thieves returned on two subsequent occasions this year, stealing about $3000 worth of tools and a $2500 caged trailer respectively.

The trailer taken about a month ago.

Police have been notified but were not sure if the three incidents were related.

Newly-elected president Jan Howie told the News on Monday she just couldn’t make sense of the situation.

“For the life of me, I can’t understand the mentality of someone who would do that.

“Put simply, the people who took it are endangering people’s lives. What if somebody was to need it in an emergency and it wasn’t there?”

She had a strong message for the thieves.

“What if it was members of their family who needed it and it was their lives they were endangering?”

There are roughly 20 AED defibrillator units in various locations around Cambridge.

“Everything we do is for the community and to be honest these kind of things do knock you back a little bit, for sure,” Jan said.

“I am nervous really, what if the replacement was to get stolen? I just can’t understand it.”

Lions Shed manager Dave Phillip was taken aback.

“To steal tools and a trailer is low, but to steal a defibrillator is despicable.

“And stealing from an organisation which is all about giving back to the community?”

The decision has been made tonot replace the defibrillator as there are two others in close proximity to the Lions Shed.

The Lions Club of Cambridge has about 80 volunteers all told, running the shed twice a week and facilitating the monthly Trash n’ Treasure market among many other initiatives.

Last year, the Lions club gave about $180,000 back to the community.

Divided opinion at end of life choice debate

By Viv Posselt

Differing opinion on the proposed assisted dying legislation characterised a lengthy public debate on the End of Life Choice Act in Te Awamutu last weekend.

The July 25 event drew well over 100 people. It was facilitated by the Te Awamutu Methodist Church in the lead-up to the End of Life Choice referendum being held as part of September’s national election. TA Methodist Church minister Shelley Walker said the issue needed to be discussed openly in order for people to make an informed decision in September. Co-organising

the debate was Pirongia’s Nynke Piebenga, whose sister elected for an assisted death in the Netherlands late last year. Chairing the debate was Robin Astridge.

Standing for the Act was retired Waikato Hospital intensive care specialist Jack Havill, and registered nurse and director of the Family Planning Unit in Hamilton, Jan Gilby. Both belong to the End-of-Life Choice Society of NZ. Speaking against it was church minister Rev Heather Major and her daughter Rachel, 18, who read out a speech she gave outside Parliament last year. On the same team was Dr Lara Hoskins, a palliative

care physician at Waikato Hospital and Hospice Waikato, and an advocate for advancing palliative care education.

Interest in the topic has been heightened with the recent arrival in postboxes of election material, including brochures on the two referenda on the ballot – the End of Life Choice referendum, and one on the legislation and control of cannabis. ACT leader David Seymour’s End of Life Choice Act has been passed

by Parliament, but only comes into force if more than half of New Zealand voters tick ‘yes’ in the upcoming referendum.

Both teams involved in the debate related their personal stories on the issue. Heather and Rachel Major spoke about their late husband and father, Glenn, who died at age 42 of a brain tumour, eight years after being initially diagnosed.

Heather said research showed clinicians’ diagnoses were often wrong, adding that many individuals did not realise they were currently able to end their suffering, either by refusing medical treatment or opting for a ‘do not resuscitate’ order. The bill did not offer sufficient safeguards in terms of public health, she said.

Debating against the End of Life Choice Act 2019 were church minister and carer for the terminally ill, Rev Heather Major, her daughter Rachel, and palliative care physician Dr Lara Hoskins.

Dr Lara Hoskins said most palliative care doctors or those caring for the dying oppose euthanasia or assisted suicide, despite reflecting a wide diversity of religions and ethnicities.

She feared patients would feel ‘pressured’ to opt for an assisted death, and said people were more likely to consider assisted dying to avoid being a burden rather than because of pain.

In advancing support for the bill, Jan Gilby outlined the points highlighted in the referendum brochure and said: “The biggest issue in this Act is personal choice.

I believe there is enough security in the Act … as human beings, we should have the right to make a personal choice around assisted dying.”

Retired intensive care

specialist Jack Havill said even with the best palliative care a small number of patients “will suffer unbearably”, and this legislation would offer those individuals the option to decide for themselves when to end it.

He said four times as many people die in rest homes as they do in hospices, and suggested hospice support to rest homes should be increased to offer a more integrated approach.

“The majority of New Zealanders support choice for people with terminal illness, and New Zealanders increasingly value autonomy in their medical plans. They get great comfort in knowing they have permission to make a decision around assisted dying if they need it.

Union ridicules ‘taniwha tax’

Waipā District Council has budgeted to pay iwi up to eight percent of the $25 million cost of its proposed shovel ready projects.

The money has been allocated as a percentage of the total build costs for Covid-19 response projects.

Of the $25.5 million budgeted, $3.76m is set aside for council costs, including iwi engagement, communications, governance and internal staff time.

A joint bid for funds was made by Waipā, Hamilton City and Waikato District Councils for 23 shovel ready projects.

Council has defended the proposed budget after it was highlighted by the New Zealand Taxpayers Union.

“Greasing up local iwi so they agree to shoo away taniwha really isn’t necessary, especially for minor cases like the Council’s proposal,” Union executive director Jordan Williams said.

“These projects aren’t major builds, they’re community facilities.

Ratepayers are especially feeling the pinch right now and a taniwha tax cannot be justified.”

Nine iwi - Nga Iwi Toopu o Waipa, Waikato Tainui, Ngāti Koroki Kahukura,

Ngāti Haua, Ngāti Maniapoto, Ngāti Raukawa, Ngāti Apakura, Ngāti Hikairo and Ngāti Mahanga are listed as being iwi Waipā District Council consults with.

The News attempted to get comment from Waikato Tainui, Ngāti Haua and Ngāti Koroki Kahukura but had not been able to when this edition went to press.

The Council’s strategy and community services manager Debbie Lascelles said the eight percent was not an across the board figure and would be assessed on a case by case and project by project basis.

She said iwi engagement may include actions such as co-design and governance of projects, assessment of cultural impacts and how these could be avoided or mitigated and monitoring projects to ensure they carried out in a manner consistent with identified cultural values.

She said the shovel ready application, filed jointly with Hamilton City and Waikato District councils, had to be submitted quickly.

“The shovel ready projects are a cluster of high-level projects – some of which are not consented yet and we don’t have the finer details for.

“We had a short time to complete the proposal and we had to set the budget. I wouldn’t expect us to spend that eight percent in each and every situation.

Many of the projects necessitated partnership and engagement with iwi and mana whenua to ensure Council meets its Treaty of Waitangi-related requirements under the Local Government Act. She couldn’t comment on what percentage other councils had ear-marked – though they were all legally required to include iwi engagement in the process “Let’s be really clear, we have a legal, moral and cultural responsibility to consult local iwi, and its and integral part of the process.”

Eco-friendly Armistice gets green light swaps work a treat

By Jeremy Smith

Hundreds of Waipā residents have traded in single-use plastics for reusable items this month as part of Plastic Free July.

More than 650 eco-friendly goodies, such as bamboo toothbrushes, bars of soap, beeswax wraps and shampoo bars, were given away at six events held in Cambridge and Te Awamutu by Waipā District Council over the past month to promote the initiative.

Plastic Free July is an annual campaign to reduce plastic waste by encouraging people and businesses to use sustainable alternatives.

Council waste minimisation officer, Sally Fraser, said it was encouraging to see so many locals attending the events, engaging in conversations and looking for ways to reduce their contribution to plastic waste.

“There are a lot of people in Waipā who are very keen to reduce the amount of plastic they use and to live more sustainably, which is fantastic.

“The key is to start off with making small, simple changes such as using a beeswax wrap for your sandwich each day rather than cling film or using a reusable produce bag instead of the single use plastic bags.”

Fraser said it was important to focus on reducing or reusing plastic items before recycling them.

“We’ve got a great recycling system here in Waipā but the best way to make the biggest impact on how much waste goes to landfill is by reducing or reusing plastics. Recycling should be a last resort after these options.”

In Waipā, only plastic types 1, 2 and 5, paper, cardboard, tins and cans can be recycled in the yellow wheelie bin, and glass in the blue wheelie bin. All recycling must be clean and empty.

For more details go to www.waipadc.govt.nz/ourservices/rubbish-and-recycling/recycling.

Armistice in Cambridge organisers have confirmed the 2020 event is a go – despite lockdown initially threatening its 21st addition.

November 7-8 dates for the event at Mighty River Domain at Lake Karapiro – a mainstay on the Cambridge calendar – have now been locked in.

Cambridge Armistice Committee chairman Paul Watkins said despite not knowing exactly how long lockdown would be in place, the decision was made by the 16-member committee to continue planning during that time anyway.

“And that seems to have been a call that was the right one,” he told the News.

Factored into the Armistice In Cambridge programme this year will be the fact it is the 75th anniversary of the end of WWII. In years past, crowds of up to 5000 people have flocked to the event – which costs organisers somewhere in the region of $80,000 to stage.

Watkins said while some of the specifics of the 2020 programme are yet to be finalised, regulars like the annual re-enactment battles, which he said are always

based on real battles, always prove to be a “massive draw card”.

As does the presence of about 100 military vehicles each year.

“There’s also an interesting trend we’re starting to notice – which wasn’t the case even 10 years ago.

“And that is that the amount of kids or young people attending is starting to out-number adults,” Watkins said.

That shift is being put down to increased emphasis on offering about 20 activities for kids – where, as competitions are held across various disciplines, the winners receive a special

medal relating to that year’s overall Armistice In Cambridge theme.

“I think there’s really two main sectors that we appeal to – families and amateur enthusiasts.

“Each year we just aim to have a huge amount of fun.”

Armistice In Cambridge is now in its seventh year of being at Mighty River Domain – a shift Watkins said has been positive for the event.

“Not only is the venue huge but we can have a variety of military disciplines in one place – for example the lake is the very reason the Navy can be there every year.”

Meanwhile, the five-year

tenure of the replica trench installed at the domain at a cost of $156,000 is coming to an end.

Watkins said the trench has been used as part of re-enactment battles since it was constructed in 2014, but 2020 will be the last year of its five year resource consent.

And therefore the last time it can be used at Armistice In Cambridge.

Watkins said a decision about what might happen post-trench in terms of a replacement hadn’t been made yet.

“We will be thinking of that, but right now our main focus is holding the event first.”

The Fencourt community has given a resounding no to proposed $40 million wastewater treatment facility plans dairy giant Fonterra has for one of its farms.

That was the clear sentiment at a meeting held last week in Fencourt Hall north of Cambridge as representatives of the cooperative met to discuss the plan with residents from Fencourt and the wider surrounds.

Key issues raised at the meeting, which attracted about 200 people, included the treatment plant process not being compatible with how the land was zoned, the visual effect of the plant, the increased traffic it would cause on Fencourt Rd and environmental impacts.

Fonterra is developing a wastewater strategy for its Hautapu site - a process it said had helped identify the need for the proposed wastewater treatment facility.

Two options are being proposed – the first a two-hectare covered tank, the second a larger five-hectare area made up of two ponds.

The plant, which the co-operative wants to put on its Buxton Farm property, will provide an improved quality of treatment and the treated water will be clean enough to pumped onto land or into waterways.

Fonterra has applied to renew its existing wastewater consents and for consent to build the new treatment plant – which it hopes to see built by 2023.

Submissions on the applications Fonterra has lodged with both Waikato Regional Council and Waipā District Council close tomorrow.

Fencourt Rd residents Philip Coles and Brenda Bell are part of a Fencourt Community Steering Group formed because residents have myriad concerns about the proposal.

Speaking with the News, they said they felt the biggest issue was the activity undertaken at the plant was non-compliant with the land it was being proposed for.

Mr Coles said the plant was of an industrial nature, but the land was zoned rural.

“Look, in principal, what Fonterra is looking to do is a good thing, just not on Buxton Farm where they want to put it,” Brenda said.

“People definitely don’t want it there,” she said.

Philip added that residents were also concerned about potential smells the plant would create.

“But it’s not just the potential for smells – it’s a visual aspect too if you consider residents say in Aspin or Maungakawa roads , they’ll be looking straight down on it.”

Other key concerns the group has included increased traffic – particularly up to 10 additional large trucks – that would travel the road daily when the plant was there.

There would also be a marked increase in traffic during the construction phase, which would take up to 18 months.

Brenda Bell said data Fonterra collated showed up to 1900 cars already used Fencourt Rd each day.

“And there’s cyclists too, it’s going to make it so busy.”

Steering group members are also concerned about what affect the plant would have on a colony of long-tailed bats near the plant.

Fonterra said it had habitat restoration plans on that front.

The company says it has consulted with the community on the proposal since 2018, but Ms Bell said many people in the area only found out about the proposal this year.

Fonterra representatives said at the meeting another potential site was being assessed for the plant but they would not say where.

New retail Lakewood opening outlet to open

By Jeremy Smith

The second Kiwi Home Store to be opened by owner Susan Hockaday arrives in Cambridge this weekend.

Susan Hockaday was introduced to Cambridge through friends who moved down from Auckland.

“My roots definitely planted the seed of love for Cambridge and I bought a property here in 2019. Cambridge became my escape and my home away from home, to recharge away from the Big Smoke. I knew I wanted to open a store here, so I began my search for the perfect premises to accompany our flagship store in Auckland,” she says.

Her background of bed and furniture retail started in the 1980s in Auckland, involving her family, three of which are still involved. Both her sons work at the Auckland store, along with her husband, and her daughter and granddaughter have also worked her.

“One of my career highlights was a customer buying a bed from my daughter Gemma, only to come back eight years later and buy a bed from my granddaughter Mia (Gemma’s daughter). It’s lovely to see the business come full circle like that – it really is a family affair.”

She says while Covid-19 has created challenges, ultimately New Zealanders wanted to support Kiwi businesses and New Zealand-made products.

“The retail scene is now vastly different to what it was 30 years ago, but we embrace it with our talent of creating custom designs, including made to measure lounge furniture, and comfortable bedding solutions.

“We are a New Zealand owned and operated store and our products are made by various suppliers here in New Zealand. We love that we have the opportunity to promote Kiwi production and Kiwi ingenuity.

Her new Queen St shop opens on Saturday morning.

It was smiles galore as Snow White, Spiderman, Elsa from Frozen, Moana and even some Chiefs players visited Cambridge on Saturday.

They were there to help celebrate the opening of Lakewood Cambridge – a project under construction since 2016.

Chiefs players Michael Allardice, Laghlan McWhannell, Ryan Coxon and Cambridge High School old boy Luke Jacobson also popped in, signing autographs and handing out about 300 Chiefs flags.

One young fan - Rotoo-Rangi School’s Izaac Hopkins - was delighted to have the chance to talk with Jacobson, one of the school’s former students, about his experiences there.

“They chatted about all the same teachers they’d had,” Izaac’s mum Hannah smiled.

On the day, purchases made from Lakewood businesses put people in the draw to win a Chiefs jersey and some runner up prizes including a sports bag and a Vevo voucher.

Development director for Fosters Development Rhys Harvey said everyone enjoyed the day.

FAITH IN WAIPĀ

THE AGE OF REASON

The world of politics

Seek and you will find…

By Murray Smith, Senior Leader, Bridges Church

By Peter Carr

After a tumultuous few days in and around the Beehive perhaps we can all now settle down to what we would hope is normal living.

It has never been a secret that parliament is riven with people involved in social peccadillos.

Those of a more advanced age will recall the 1960’s shenanigans in the UK parliament which resulted in the withdrawal of a senior government minister. Later in life, in a private capacity, that minister went on to undertake excellent work in the poorer parts of the British community.

It was at that time that a notorious London based operator, on the edge of the medical world, became involved with those in high political (and other) offices.

At his trial, he embraced the views of a saintly person of the same Christian name.

In the year 36AD St Stephen (immediately prior to his enforced death), uttered the phrase that essentially forgave his persecutors.

It’s something to think about when in post-Christmas mode we remember that our traditional calendar Boxing Day is also St Stephen’s Day in the Anglican church.

Which turns me to bringing up the forthcoming election. As there are a number of both old and new aspirants clamouring for your vote on September 19, it would be pertinent to recall that the life towards which they are voluntarily about to subject themselves has a number of unusual parts.

Not the least of which is (for most) an enforced culture of living conditions entirely alien to their normal home life. And in some cases placing themselves on imaginary pedestals while being open to social mores

contrary to their normal experiences.

Around 1984 I was approached by a political party chairman to stand in my (then) Wellington electorate.

We agreed that I would ponder this over the forthcoming weekend and that the conversation would not be broadcast in any way until such time as I had given him my formal answer. I admit that the idea sounded attractive – especially as I would not have to live away from my home.

But, low and behold, on the Monday following the weekend I found out that he had not kept his word and that my possibly electioneering offer was plastered in the city’s newspaper prior to the weekend.

That resulted in my immediate response that not all those in the political spectrum are to be trusted - and I had no choice but to inform him somewhat forcefully that I would not break bread with him at any stage.

The parliamentary press gallery has an interesting view on the social behaviour (or misbehaviour) of elected politicians.

In a way I think I understand that stance.

However, when once entertaining a number of press gallery devotees, I asked the question why the well-known social antics of the then Prime Minister were not called across the floor of the House in a safe and non-suable environment.

The answer was terse. Because (and I quote) ‘He has more in his book on them than they have on him’. Says it all really.

Very sad but it will no doubt continue for a long time to come.

GRAND OPENING Make it your way

Customise your Sofa

A church leader was walking along a residential street when a random thought suddenly came to mind. The thought was to quote out loud one of the best-known lines in the Bible. He resisted the thought briefly, but the impression intensified that he must respond promptly and quote the verse out loud…in spite of feeling a bit foolish, he did so.

The passage that came to this pastor’s mind is found in a book of the Bible that John, one of Jesus’ disciples wrote, thus it bears his name.

He wrote in chapter 3 and in verse 16 the following words, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life”.

The words and the reference (‘John 3:16’) are among those that are perhaps better known from the Bible. Perhaps you’ve seen placard waving enthusiasts ‘camera bombing’ live sporting events which are being broadcast with the John 3:16 reference scrawled on their signs. It’s a pretty obtuse effort to communicate their message since it remains lost to the majority although well known to some.

One year at the Winter Olympics two commentators were observing a bunch of John 3:16 sign wavers and one of the commentators asked his colleague what on earth it was all about.

Trying to be knowledgeable, he speculated that it must be a message for one of the competitors in the downhill trials named ‘John’.

Since speeds of up to 130 km/h are common in international downhill skiing competition, skiers strategise their run

carefully. Tucking into the most efficient aerodynamic position to minimise drag and increase speed, the split times are important.

The TV commentator ‘guessed’ the signs were intended by skier John’s supporters, to advise him he had 3 seconds to cover 16 metres to be amongst the winning athletes!

Anyway, back to the story of the pastor wrestling with the prompting to quote John 3:16 out loud. Having yielded to the impression to say the words in a strong voice, no sooner were they out of his mouth and the impression was there to “say it again”!

He did so a second time…”For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life”.

Some years later this church leader related the incident at a conference he was attending.

Following the meeting a lady came up to him and shared how on that day she had been behind her two-metre fence gardening, carrying a deep longing in her heart to know if God was real. She had just said, “God if you’re there please let me know.”

Immediately she heard the words from the other side of the fence.

Standing to her feet in disbelief she whispered, “If that’s You, do it again…!”

The experience so impacted her, a life-long faith and personal relationship with God resulted.

DOWN WITH THE KIDS

NO PLANET B

My beef with some burgers

One step forward, two steps back.

France has announced a ban on outdoor heating which will come into force after the next northern winter.

And if you eat a burger in Europe there is a good chance the animal it came from will have been fed on soy grown in illegally deforested areas of the Amazon.

Announcing the outdoor heating ban in France Ecology Minister Barbara Pompili said outside heating or air conditioning was an “ecological aberration”. And so it is. From any point of view heating the street doesn’t make a lot of sense. They have also said that any shop running air conditioning must keep the doors closed. If this outbreak of sense continues we might have little to worry about before long.

Never fear though - there are plenty of idiots to counteract the good work done by the few. JBS for example, the largest meat processing company in Brazil, and by volume the world, says that it does not process meat which has come from animals farmed on illegally cleared land. You don’t have to look far though, to find animals being reared on recently cleared forest land and then sold on to squeaky clean farms which, let’s not forget, were themselves established on recently cleared land not so long ago. From here the animals are sold to JBS who slaughter and process countless animals each year and send the meat to the US, Europe, and all over the world. This practice has recently been highlighted, and not for the first time, by an employee with a camera - it wasn’t hard to do. Needless to say the

By Peter Matthews

employee is now an ex-employee, and of course everybody has known for years that this has been happening but the dollar marches on, as it will continue to do.

While global companies can flout both the law and good sense with impunity what incentive is there for the person in the supermarket aisle to make ethical choices? It’s usually cheaper to buy the ‘wrong’ products, or the ones with excessive plastic packaging, or the oversized carbon footprint. It can be depressing to contemplate the scale at which popular opinion and action must shift in order to effect any meaningful change. Sure - consumers can move markets, and JBS could be compelled to behave more responsibly but let’s be honest, is that really going to happen? As I’ve said before, the majority of people in the world cannot afford to make ethical choices. Of course we should - we all should, and we know we should, but that doesn’t mean we do.

I don’t know what the answer is, and I honestly fear that there may be no answer. Nature and the laws of physics will ultimately decide what becomes of the human race, but in the meantime might I suggest that if we want to drink coffee outside in the winter we could put on an overcoat - and perhaps eat fewer burgers?

A new deal, or the same old deal?

“Haha! The Greens?!”

That’s a snippet of conversation I overheard last week during lunchbreak. We were talking about politics – the conversation swayed from Trump to, in the end, the coming Kiwi election.

But on the suggestion that the Greens might actually have one of the best policy line ups for government, the overheard speaker was indignant.

A snigger – in their mind – was all the retort that was needed.

The speaker’s words reflect the sentiment some of the bigger parties have tried to exude recently.

That parties like the Greens – for all their best intentions – are hopelessly naïve. Idealistic teen, meet experienced dad. The Greens may have good ideas, but they don’t know how to run an economy.

They’re out of their depth.

But in an election that’s all about “building back better,” the Greens are actually often the sole ones coming up with policy that envisions a better world for said teen. Take their new “Poverty Action Plan.”

It’s costed and detailed. At the heart is a wealth tax. It’s a step towards redressing the wealth gap, simplifying welfare policy and taking the stigma out of it.

It’s a policy for our generation – it’s hopeful and futuristic.

Contrast that with the bigger parties. This election, National – and to a lesser extent Labour – appear almost antiquated.

There’s that video of former National leader Todd Muller trying to sell National’s new big Canterbury road: “Any questions about the road?” he says, looking a little lost. “Come on, $1.5 billion, four-lane highway, fantastic!”

No questions, only disappointment at the myopia.

Here’s some additional announcements made by new leader Judith Collins: A whole lot more four lane expressways.

Rail links to Auckland Airport – something that’s Government policy and almost ready anyway.

WANT TO BUILD BUT NEED LAND?

By Matteo Di Maio

“Skepticism” of cycling initiatives like SkyPath In fact, the antiquated-ness of some of these projects is a little odd, given their timeframe.

Collins has said the projects will come into force in the “next 10 to 20 years.”

2050 is our zero-carbon target, remember. The proposals for more roads are made more eco-friendly with a pretense of giving electric vehicles something to drive on.

“The motorway network will remain absolutely essential in the rapidly approaching era of zerocarbon, self-driving, electric and hydrogen cars and trucks (EVs),” she said in her announcement.

But this itself should induce skepticism. National pairs massive road announcements with not a whiff of an EV subsidy.

Grant Robertson, in his pre-budget announcement, spoke often of “building back better.” Yet when the budget did come out, there was little mention of climate change.

It’s not all bad, of course. The equal pay bill that recently came from Labour was inspiring, and it’s nice to see National at least talking about rail and electrification.

But, more or less, there is little vision. And yet this is such a future-orientated election.

The direction of our country after it was shut down and rebooted will be determined. Public spending or public spending cuts. Roads or rail.

A New Deal or the same old deal. Other countries have grasped a future without cars and don’t want to go back: Milan is giving over the central city to walkers and bikers.

Neither big party is talking in the language that’s needed. When will we get a better chance to build back better?

Given the forward-thinking context of this election, perhaps it’s “experienced dads” National and Labour who are out of their depth.

We will work with you to find a suitable site, with no obligations.

Pirongia society celebrates Karioi gets a

helping hand

By Jeremy Smith

The Pirongia Te Aroaro o Kahu Restoration Society has recorded one of the busiest 12 months in its 15-year history despite having to “adapt quickly” to the unprecedented challenges of Covid-19.

A total of 110 of the roughly 350 volunteers on the society’s books logged about 9300 volunteer hours – more than 10 percent up on the previous 12 months.

The group carries out a wide range of environmental tasks – including using bait stations to target a range of pests such as rats and possums and stoats – on both Mt Pirongia and at Okahukura in the Pureora Forest area.

Its work on Mt Pirongia and at Okahukura spans 14 and five years respectively.

With more than 2200 bait stations now covering 2000 hectares of bait control – and spanning 195km of bait lines – across the two sites, society chair Clare St Pierre said the group would look to expand that by up to 250 hectares in the near future.

In addition, 2020 also saw the society record its largest volunteer numbers on a single day of bait station filling at Okahukura – when nearly 70 people were present.

Ms St Pierre said that level of attendance saw the entire 1000ha bait station grid it has established there serviced in a day – reducing rats in the area by nearly 30 percent this season.

“We were also delighted by how fast we were able to get back to work when the country shifted to Alert Level 2.”

Aside from one part time staff member – hired in the last 12 months - the society is run entirely on a voluntary basis and she lauded the long-term commitment those volunteers have shown.

A highlight in the society’s tenure, she said, had been the re-introduction of kōkako to Mt Pirongia after an absence of several decades.

Volunteers now monitor the progress kōkako are making on the mountain at nesting sites, as well as maintaining areas of the native plant dactylanthus tayloriis.

“I think the presence of kōkako again has filled people with so much joy – we’ve definitely seen a surge in our volunteer numbers, likely in part because people just love the monitoring work we do on that front.”

Society volunteers’ busiest time of year gets underway from next month, during which they re-fill the group’s bait station network twice a year and then monitor kōkako nests each week through until March.

This season saw nesting attempts by only four breeding kōkako pairs – a number which may have been higher had there not been summer and autumn drought conditions.

Seven chicks were added to the population.

Other milestones of note from the past 12 months highlighted at the society’s annual meeting included the presentation of a life membership to Selwyn June and the upgrading of the society’s Envirocentre building in Pirongia Village.

Last year’s committee was re-elected and new committee members Andy Bryant and Brian Bowell added.

A project on Mt Karioi is one of five to receive a total of $1.63 million in grants from Waikato Regional Council.

The council’s Community Restoration Committee, at its first meeting last week, approved Natural Heritage Fund grants for groups working on landscape scale predator control projects.

A Rocha Aotearoa’s Karioi Project will get almost $465,000 over four years.

Other grants have gone to the Moehau Environment Group, Whenuakiwi Trust’s Whenuakite Kiwi Care Project, Te Ara Hou Kennedy Bay Ltd’s Pukewharariki Ngahere and Wai Landscape Restoration Project and Mokaihaha Kōkako Trust’s Mokaihaha Kōkako Project.

The five projects will control pests over a combined area of 25,000 hectares – 1 per cent of the Waikato’s land area.

Projects are collaborations between many parties, including landowners, Māori, the Department of Conservation, communities, councils and local businesses, and all include volunteer labour ranging from 300 to 6000 hours a year.

Funds will create at least six fulltime jobs a year for

four years.

The Natural Heritage Fund was set up to help with the council’s commitment to preserving the natural heritage of the region and is built up by a targeted rate of $5.80 for every property in the region.

A Rocha has been working for 15 years to re-establish Raglan’s Mt Karioi as a seabird mountain.

A community-led integrated pest control programme on 15000ha of private landowner and public conservation land to help protect grey-faced petrel (ōi) has assisted other native wildlife.

There have been more frequent sightings of kākā on the mountain, and little blue penguins are also attempting to breed. The project has more than 100 active volunteers.

Karioi Project leader Kristel van Houte said having four years of funding was invaluable to the project.

“It enables us to really plan, expand and implement not just one year ahead but for four years. Having that certainty enables us to connect people to nature and protect biodiversity at a landscape scale.”

Covering up for 20 years

By Viv Posselt

The 2020 display by Operation Cover-Up (OCU) has a special element added – it coincides with the 20th anniversary of the organisation’s founding by Taupo woman Liz Clarke and her friend, Stella Halstead.

It was in 2000 that Liz’s sponsorship of a child through the international charity Mission

Without Borders led her to understanding how desperately children in Moldovan orphanages needed knitted blankets and clothes to help them get through the freezing winters. She called for help, and in its first year the group succeeded in sending 240 blankets to Eastern Europe.

OCU has since spread throughout New Zealand. With Liz still at the helm, it involves thousands of

volunteers doing the knitting and over 100 district co-ordinators.

Mission Without Borders now receives two 12-metre containers annually, filled with thousands of knitted blankets and other woollen garments intended for orphanages in Moldova, Romania, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Albania and Croatia.

Where orphanages have closed, the items are gifted to families, the elderly and the homeless, and the range now includes school stationery, soap, toothbrushes, shoes and sports equipment.

Liz, who is not a knitter herself, said of the landmark anniversary: “I think it is absolutely wonderful for Operation Cover-Up to have reached 20 years. It has far exceeded my original expectations … I prayed for 67 blankets for one orphanage in Moldova, and we have now sent around 142,000 blankets and hundreds of thousands of other items to Eastern Europe.”

Mission Without Borders director Andrew Wilks said the benefit was felt on both sides of the world. “On one hand, knitters and givers get a good feeling from helping the poor and disadvantaged. On the other, children, families, homeless and elderly recipients learn that people on the other side of the world care that they are struggling to survive and want to ease their suffering.”

Cambridge’s link to Mission Without Borders started in 2001, with Isobel Middlemiss coordinating the first group. She had sponsored a child through the

international charity, then with the help of her husband James, the couple stepped into the role of buying up knitted garments from op-shops, unpicking them, accessing more wool and finding knitters.

Now, there are around 130 OCU members in this area who knit throughout the year for the cause.

Last year, they sent 110 blankets and clothes which filled three wool bales.

This year’s display – which is from 10am to 1pm on Thursday August 6 at the Baptist Church auditorium in Queen St – will mark the anniversary with the release of inspirational birthday book entitled The Warmth of Love, written by Liz Clarke. Funds raised through the sale of the book will go back into the organisation. There will be a small door charge to cover morning tea.

Copies of the book are available at lizclarke@xtra.co.nz.

Cambridge’s Michael Neels and Sandra Gissing were the overall winners when the Cambridge Bridge Club held a successful afternoon last weekend – the first post Covid Lockdown.

Twenty-four members played Bridge, Bingo and took part in a quiz organised

by Clare Coles.

Alongside the Cambridge members, there were players from Te Awamutu, Matamata, Te Aroha, Morrinsville and Waitomo.

The runners up in the junior section were Cambridge pair Linda and David Buckley. The Intermediate Section was won by Kay Hanna and Barbara Andrews, with Melanie Trevethick and Gretchen Gavey in second place. Both pairs are from Cambridge.

On stage again Directed by Chrissy Hodkinson – the production sees Annabel, Helen, Louise and Siobhan turn up, looking forward to learning carpentry skills from a pioneering female furniture maker.

Instead they find Woody, an out-ofwork, disgruntled builder who’s less than impressed to find four “sheilas” amongst his claw hammers.

The plot subsequently unfolds from there.

Steve said the society draws on a wide pool of acting talent from around the Waikato, a “constantly moving target” of people.

“We’re really grateful.”

The Pink Hammer is on stage from September 12-26 and tickets go on sale on August 15 for members and August 22 for the public.

Both $30 ticket and $60 dinner and a show options will be available at Paper Plus Cambridge, or online at www.eventfinda. co.nz.

Following The Pink Hammer, Peter Pan the pantomime – featuring a large cast of 27 people - is also planned later in the year.

“Pantomime is something a little bit different with the New Zealand theatrical scene,” Steve said.

“So that will be exciting.”

By Jeremy Smith

Cambridge Repertory Society is preparing to stage its first offering in nearly nine months – and the first since the Covid-19 lockdown.

While the society would normally offer four shows a year, half the 2020 offerings – or two productions – fell victim to the pandemic.

Shows at the society’s Gaslight Theatre would usually be held in March, June, September and December.

The March and June productions though had to be pulled.

Rehearsals for its triumphant return offering, The Pink Hammer, have now been underway for the last fortnight and Cambridge Repertory Society president Steve McMurray said they were delighted to announce the production’s September theatrical run.

“It’s fantastic to be back - we honestly can’t wait to bring something to the stage for people, it’s a lot of fun, but has a positive message,” Steve, who is also the production’s only male cast member, said.

Steve is joined by Dallas Dams, Janine Swainson, Kim Burn and Lucinda HeslinWightman in The Pink Hammer.

Twin wins for Cambridge High

Waikato Lacrosse High League for 2020 kicked off in force over the weekend.

In the Girls’ Premier Division, Cambridge High made a clear statement against Hamilton Girls High in the opening match, winning 14-8.

Cambridge Year 13 player Laura Cannon capitalised on her experience to deliver a superb game, scoring four goals and taking out player of the match award.

“I think they had a really good first game,” Cambridge Premier Coach Meg Jones said. “This is the highest standard we have had at the start of the season. Usually you see a rusty start typically, but they [Hamilton Girls High] came out firing from the get-go. There are definitely some things we could work on… but we have a big season ahead of us.”

In the Boys’ Premier Division, Cambridge High beat Hamilton Boys High 9-6. Alistair Hearmon (3 goals), Blake Anderson (2 goals and 2 assists), and Baastion Banks (2 goals) shone. Player of the day Connor Harvey-Price produced some notable saves in his first outing in goal.

Cambridge coach Anthony Warrington said Hamilton Boys was always a strong team, and have two players in the national team.

“So we knew it was going to be a good game… in the end, it probably came down to discipline.

Both teams were getting a lot of penalties, and I think Cambridge just reeled it in just a little bit at the end.“ Warrington also acknowledged that was “a bit of

a rivalry” between the teams, “so we really wanted to go out and give it our all. I am very, very pleased with how it went.”

Matches for the Girls High Lacrosse League are played on grass every Saturday at the Tamahere Recreational Reserve, and Premier Boys play indoors every Sunday at the Inline Hockey Centre in Hamilton. This year’s High lacrosse season has been compressed into a 9-week thriller during Term 3 in the wake of COVID-19, with the finals scheduled for the weekend of 19-20 September 2020. A new Junior Boys League – also played on Saturdays at Tamahere Recreational Reserve – will get underway for the first time on Saturday.

Wait ends for winter sports

By Steph Bell-Jenkins

Waiting for this year’s junior rugby season to begin was “torture” for nine-year-old Beau Lamb, who was “really excited” to finally hit the park again with his teammates on Saturday.

Beau and more than 1500 other primary school students were joyfully reunited with Cambridge’s rugby fields, netball courts and hockey pitches last weekend, after their winter sports seasons officially kicked off.

Covid-19 delayed the start of all three

codes, which normally begin in term two.

Cambridge Junior Rugby and Community Sport Club (CJRS) president Dale Cooper said the club could potentially have pushed to start the season late in term two, but had worked with school principals and “agreed it would be easier and less stressful” to start in term three.

“We rely quite heavily on schools and ask them to do quite a bit of work organising their teams, so we didn’t really want to put the pressure on them,” he said.

“And obviously all our coaches needed

appropriate training and approval from Waikato rugby before the season could kick off.”

Beau’s father Shannan Lamb said going without organised sport had been “pretty hard” for his kids.

“They’ve just been champing at the bit to get back into it,” he said. “We’ve got three boys and a girl and the boys have been playing rugby in the backyard and just waiting for things to get going again.”

The practice paid off for Beau, who scored two tries for his combined Kaipaki/Rotoo-Rangi/Horahora school team in his first game back and won player of the day.

But while Beau couldn’t wait to play, some have flagged the season all together.

Junior rugby player numbers had dropped about 20 per cent, Dale said.

“We’re down from 740 players last year to 600 this year on previous seasons and the only thing we can put that back to is Covid at this stage.”

However, he was “pretty excited to get

started on Saturday and get kids out there playing rugby again”.

Meanwhile, Cambridge Mini Hockey’s season, which began on Friday, has been shortened from 15 weeks to eight.

“Numbers have stayed pretty steady; we are down 18 players overall from 444 to 426,” administrator Marie Dale said.

“The first night went fantastically, it was awesome to see so many children playing hockey and with smiles on their faces.”

New World Cambridge Netball Centre president Jacqui McCann said Covid-19 had caused “no noticeable effect” on junior netball numbers, but more than half the games had been lost. Despite that, season dates would not be extended.

“After consultation with our community we decided this was best as we didn’t want to impact on summer code dates,” she said.

McCann said it was “great to be able to welcome our community back after such a long time away” and the atmosphere at the courts on Saturday was “buzzing”.

Trophy Rugby draw held

Beau Lamb, who won player of the day for his combined Kaipaki/Roto-o-Rangi/Horahora school team, is chased by Leamington School players Quinn Douglas (left) and Leo Piper.

Cambridge High have held the Tricolor Trophy with a decisive 42-0 won over Fraser High.

Last weekend’s match was the first round robin game for the secondary school rugby season.

Try scorers were Zac Molloy, Jacob Taurima, Jacob Jozwick, Jack Bailey, Dale Wolfsbauer, Ethan McKenzie and Konnor Booth.

THURSDAY JULY 30, 2020

Rugby derby day Three for Ivil, but Leamington falls short Saturday’s Waipā derby between Te Awamutu Sports and Hautapu has been given some added spice.

The reigning Waikato champions will go into the match on the back of their first defeat since 2018.

Hautapu chalked up a perfect record last season – and had chalked up five from five ahead of Saturday’s clash with struggling Hamilton Old Boys.

But the red and blacks pulled off the upset of the season, winning at home 36-30.

Te Awamutu’s hopes of a semi-final spot took another hit when they were beaten 43-33 by Melville in a match they effectively surrendered in a forgettable 10 minute spell where Sports conceded three tries.

Last season was entirely forgettable for Te Awamutu against Hautapu.

The Cambridge side recorded two big wins and highlighted a gulf between the sides.

A red hot Hautapu were too hot to handle in the afternoon heat of the first round and they won 80-12 at Albert Park, and second round game wasn’t much different as Hautapu won 73-24 in steady drizzle.

A tough task for Te Awamutu already looks to be made tougher by a significant injury list. Already missing backs Shancy Waho, J’Ndre Liebenberg and Tairoa Crean,

Sports lost returning lock Kieran Westlake to a hip injury in the second half last weekend and other players will be looking to recover from knocks during what was a brutally physical encounter with Melville.

Hautapu’s development side stayed in semifinal contention with a convincing 41 – 26 victory over Hamilton Old Boys.

Hautapu led 17-14 at the break but dominated the scoring in the second half.

The match featured 10 tries – six to Hautapu through Oscar Anderson (2) Mitch Pettit (2) Elija Corbett and Albert Talakai.

Bodie Mechell kicked four conversons and a penalty.

Last weekend’s results: Waikato Draught Premiership A, Fraser Tech 48 Morrinsville Sports 14, Hamilton Old Boys 36 Hautapu 30, Te Awamutu Sports 33 Melville 43, University 10 Hamilton Marist 65.

Hayden Ivil bagged a hat-trick of tries, but Leamington suffered their second successive Division 1 defeat last weekend to slip to third on the ladder ahead hosting Te Rapa on Saturday Ōhaupo posted its fourth win in six games, beating the Blues 28-23 after leading 20-8 at the break.

The Leamington Cambridge Stud Senior A’s had been been beaten by Southern United a week earlier, and were given a rude awakening at Ōhaupo, conceding two converted tries and two penalties in the first spell.

They only had a Hayden Ivil try and a Regan Erueti penalty to show after 40 minutes.

The second half saw Leamington work their way back with further tries to Ivil and Thomas Fraser to close the gap to two points.

But the side was guilty of making simple errors under pressue and conceded a late penalty which ended the scoring.

The Senior Bs had it all their own way, scording a 46-7 win over Ōhaupo Carl Bolton 2, Nonz Tualanga 2, Andrew Brown, Paddy Cameron,

Kade Ormsby, Harland Ormond scored tries, Kade Ormsby, 2, and Cameron kicked conversions.

The Colts won 50-0 in Hinuera against Matamata-Hinuera.

Matamata/Hinuera started with great intensity but were repelled by outstanding defence from Leamington that helped set up a pair of tries to Keagan Harris and more from Thomas Fraser and Robert Day in the first half. An impressive second half from Leamington saw the side keep the opposition pointless while scording four more tries. The final score saw Leamington prevail 50-0.

Ball carrier Nic Lyall is supported by James Fraser, Tod Foster and Trent Goodwin for Leamington against Ōhaupo.

Reds get a three point opportunity

Cambridge’s Reds get a prime opportunity to pull clear of the lower reaches of Northern League football this weekend when they host struggling Northland.

A win to Cambridge on Saturday at John Kerkhof Park (3pm) would see the Reds pull three points clear of the relegation-threatened Northland and Uni-Mount Bohemian in the Lotto NRFL second division.

It would be no less than Cambridge deserve after a string of close results in a compacted competition.

Last weekend, they drew 2-2 at Fencibles United.

The Aucklanders led on the half hour through Brennan Priestley but Reds’ Josh Clarkin levelled three minutes later with his fifth of the season.

Priestley doubled United’s lead as half-time approached.

Cambridge skipper Daniel Clarkin equalised in the 53rd minute and the sides remained locked 2-2 till the final whistle.

In the early game, Cambridge reserves lost 5-1 to top-of-the-table Fencibles.

Cambridge benefitted from an own goal to go into the break at 1-1 but goals in the dying minutes of the game flattered the home side’s winning margin.

Meanwhile, a string of draws is proving costly for Cambridge in this year’s WaiBOP Championship.

Cambridge’s third team drew 2-2 with 10-man Hamilton Wanderers at John Kerkhof Park.

Wanderers took a 2-0 first-half lead through two long-range shots, but they lost a player to a second yellow card.

Cambridge pulled back a goal through a Sam Garmonsway header before Daniel Harrison leveled the score from a corner.

Another corner created allowed Daniel Harrison to scramble home from close.

Winger Jordan Silvester was Cambridge’s Player of the Day. In Waikato Division Two, leaders Hamilton Wanderers snatched a 3-2 win against third-placed Cambridge, scoring their winner in the last couple of minutes.

Both teams traded first-half goals to go into the break at 2-2, with Josh Mayo and Patrick Woodlock

scoring for Cambridge.

Co-winners of the Player of the Day were defender Alex Ball and Theo Petropoulos.

In Waikato Division Five, Cambridge’s two teams drew 2-2.

Jamie Coomber put the D1s ahead after five minutes before Daniel Cattley levelled after 15’.

The D1s led again when Ben Ward struck a shot that rebounded off the post for Fabian Burgos to tap into the net.

The rest of the half produced a disallowed goal for the D2s and a couple of hotly-disputed decisions while referee Ben Feaver remained the coolest head on the athletics ground pitch.

In the second half, the D2s made it 2-2 after Chris Dodds put away

an Andrew Myers cross.

The D2s had a chance to win the game with a late free-kick.

Mat Vink crossed to Steve Barrott whose header looked a certain winner until D1 ‘keeper Paul Macann tipped the ball over the bar.

Player of the Day for the D2s was Chris Dodds.

Cambridge’s push for the Waikato Women’s Division 2 title remains alive after the side drew 2-2 with leaders Te Awamutu.

Astrid Howarth put Cambridge ahead in the 14th minute, the only score in the first half.

As the hour mark approached, Olivia Sutherland set up Howarth who rounded the ‘keeper to double Cambridge’s lead.

Te Awamutu replied with goals in the 68th and 72nd minutes to Genevieve Churton and Chantel Furtie.

Georgia Bellamy-Hill was the Hill Homes Player of the Day. The draw leaves Cambridge fourth on a tight table in which the leading pack of five sides are separated by only three points.

In the WaiBOP Federation Y-League, Cambridge beat Otumoetai 4-1.

Goalscorers for Cambridge U-14s were Theo Susilla (2), Lucah de Roo and Noah Cody.

The result leaves Cambridge in second place.

In the WaiBOP Federation J-League, Cambridge U-12s lost 1-0 at home to Claudelands Rovers.

Cambridge’s two division five teams prepare for the most local of local derbies.

Lovely Bundy crowned Horse of the Year

Lovely Bundy has stablemate Cyclone S Adams to thank for taking out the Dunstan Horse Feeds Cambridge Horse of the Year competition.

While the former Peter and Vaughan Blanchardtrained mare hasn’t raced since winning at Cambridge Raceway in January, she took a two point lead into the last meeting of the season at the Waikato track last week.

There were nine horses still in contention heading into the meeting, including Gr.2 NSW Trotting Derby (2400m) winner Xebec.

The Benjamin Aubrontrained gelding had a stiff task ahead of him starting from the 35m mark in the Melanie, 60, What!?

Handicap Trot (2200m) and he was only able to gather in the main field with a lap to go.

Driver Zachary Butcher was able to weave Xebec through a tiring field and launch a late charge to catch the Blanchard-trained Cyclone S Adams, and while he was making big inroads into the lead, the finish line came up too soon for the son of Orlando Vici and he finished threequarters of a length behind the victor.

“Xebec needed to win to draw with Lovely Bundy and our other guy (Cyclone S Adams) just held on, so we got quite a buzz out of that,” Vaughan Blanchard said.

“It was a double whammy really, getting the win and also taking out the Horse of the Year competition.”

Blanchard was pleased with Cyclone S Adams heading into Thursday, with the son of Wishing Stone having won his previous start at Cambridge.

“He was really good a fortnight ago and we thought he was better this week, just from having that run,” Blanchard said.

“He bobbled away early, but ended up getting a pretty good run during the race and he just held on.

“Everything panned out well for him.”

Blanchard was delighted to win the Cambridge Horse of the Year title and said the COVID-19 enforced hiatus from racing assisted Lovely Bundy’s chances in the competition.

“We are rapt and thrilled winning the competition,” Blanchard said.

“The COVID-19 enforced break made it a lot harder for those other ones that were chasing her down.”

Lovely Bundy cemented her lead in the competition after winning her last three career starts at Cambridge

Pike waits for Oz call Multiple Group One winner The Bostonian is set to head to Sydney next month, but whether he will race under trainer Tony Pike’s name is still up in the air.

The Cambridge trainer, who also heads the New Zealand Trainer’s Association, has been in discussions with an Australian immigration expert but there is no clarity as to whether any of his staff members can gain an exemption to enter Australia.

“At this stage there is no problems in getting the horses across, but with what has been happening in Victoria of late the Government has probably got a little bit edgy and things aren’t moving quite as quick as we were hoping,” Pike said.

“We had a meeting with one of the immigration experts over there (Australia) who was working with all the stud farms to get the shuttle stallions and grooms in for the breeding season.

“She was having a meeting with ministers… so we are going to have a catch-up and see if we can progress it.

“At this stage she is hopeful that she can get us an exemption to get in, but time is of the essence. We are getting closer to the spring carnival and if or when we can get over is

the million dollar question at this point in time.”

The Bostonian is booked to fly to Sydney on August 17 and Pike said they would need clarity next week in order for his staff members to travel to Australia and undergo the mandatory two week quarantine period in time to meet the talented galloper. – NZ Racing Desk

in those last three races,” Blanchard said.

“She was in-foal so didn’t have any seasonal troubles that she had throughout her career.”

Lovely Bundy is due to foal down next month and Blanchard said it would be nice to train the resulting foal of the 12-win trotter.

By taking out the Cambridge Raceway competition, Lovely Bundy won her owners $4000, while

her trainers were awarded a $3000 product prize from sponsors Dunstan Horse Feeds.

Local trainer Kyle Marshall received a $2000 product prize with Lukyanova finishing runnerup, while Our Spitfire made it a trifecta for the trotters, finishing third and winning her trainers Michelle Wallis and Bernie Hackett a $1000 product prize. – Cambridge Raceway

Bargain buys work for Kennedy

After more than 27 years off the racing scene, Diana Kennedy has bounced back with an impressive winning streak over the last three weekends, but she never imagined she would be doing it from Cambridge.

Kennedy prepared Zedman to win a highweight at Ellerslie on July 11 then a maiden steeplechase at Te Rapa a week later. That was followed up with Sentito winning a Rating 65 1600m at Avondale last Saturday.

Now she is hoping that winning streak can continue

into the new season with Zedman in the Waikato Steeplechase (3900m) at Te Rapa on Saturday week.

Kennedy and her family lived in Cambridge for many years after moving from Gisborne, but in March last year they decided on a South Island move to Waimate, from where she planned to make the most of their 50ha acres of pine trees to work her few horses and hopefully get a win.

But the Covid-19 pandemic changed all Kennedy’s plans and, with no jumps racing in

the South Island this winter on the revised racing calendar, she found herself and her daughter, Caroline, packing up and heading back to base themselves at Cambridge.

“I’ve got my four horses here at Gary Alton’s stables and my husband, Ray, has stayed down at Waimate to look after the farm,” Kennedy said.

“We left on June 6 and it’s worked out well. It was the only option this year, to base the horses up this way closer to the jumps racing.”

Kennedy has four horses

in work, all bought off gavelhouse.com.

Zedman cost $3000 when bought in January 2018 and she paid a mere $1000 for Sentito.

“Caroline saw Zedman on gavelhouse and bought him,” Kennedy said.

“He was a tough horse, mentally, when we got him, but we’ve given him plenty of gradual work and he’s a lot better now.

“When we were down at Waimate we had the choice of three tracks to go to - Waimate, Oamaru and Timaru - and sometimes

Ocean Park shares spoils A breakthrough season has ended on the perfect note for rising star Waikato Stud stallion Ocean Park, sire of another impressive winner on the final Saturday of the 2019-20 season.

Three-year-old filly High Emocean scored a stylish twolength victory at Caulfield on Saturday, the fourth win of her nine-start career.

She is one of 43 individual winners in Australia this term for Ocean Park, whose runners have amassed an impressive total of A$10,095,873 throughout the season. He sits in 12th place on the Australian premiership.

Since the 2015-16 season, Ocean Park’s fellow Waikato Stud stallion Ocean Park has sired 137 winners.

Flavours

Savabeel has had a firm grip on all of New Zealand’s sire awards – the Grosvenor Award for New Zealand-based sires by progeny earnings within New Zealand, the Dewar Award for New Zealandbased sires by progeny earnings in New Zealand and Australia, and the Centaine Award for New Zealand-based sires by total progeny earnings worldwide.

But Ocean Park’s season has given him a lead of almost $1 million over Savabeel on the Dewar Award standings.

“We’re just extremely proud to have two stallions clean up all of the awards again this season,” Waikato Stud’s Mark Chittick said.

there would be trotters going around the track, too, so they got to see plenty. We could do plenty of hill work with them, too.”

Jubilee Park, the Kennedy’s Waimate property, is also the home to standardbreds.

“Ray breeds standardbreds and sells them. That’s his side of things and I concentrate on the thoroughbreds,” Kennedy said.

“I started training a few of them when we were living on a station in Gisborne, then I had a long break from them when our four children were growing up and they were into showjumping. I used to showjump myself and had a bit of success.”

During her days in Gisborne Kennedy trained for four seasons and had a memorable 1990-91 term when winning three races.

Her first winner came at Wairoa in February 1991 with Jubilee Lad, then three months later she won steeplechases back-to-back with Adonis at Gisborne and Te Rapa. Adonis, part-owned

by Kennedy’s husband, was ridden by Tony Gillies, who had previously trained him for four wins.

Having now matched her previous best tally of three wins in a season after a 27-year hiatus, Kennedy is

Diana Kennedy is eyeing the Waikato Steeplechase.

looking forward to starting Sentito over fences, though a further flat start beforehand is likely.

As well as hoping to win the Waikato Steeplechase with Zedman, she is also keen to see her daughter Caroline back competing on raceday.

Caroline Kennedy (23) rode as a jumps jockey during the 2016-17 season, being strongly supported by Kevin Myers, and she was aboard Zedman in two jumps trials last year for a steeplechase win at Cambridge and also won a hurdle trial on Sentito last month.

“Caroline has been right into the showjumping,” Kennedy said. “That’s why she hasn’t been riding in races, but she’s keen to start up again and has been schooling my horses. She loves it.” - NZ Racing Desk

Sweet on Winter

Let it rain, let it blow, let it snow. All are great excuses for enjoying decadent warming winter puds. And some of the old traditionals have made a comeback.

Rice pudding for example. I can’t remember enjoying it that much when I was a child, but this winter I’ve actually been craving it.

Originally — because rice was an expensive import — this pudding was prepared exclusively in the kitchens of English kings and queens. It was unsweetened and served as more of a side dish. However, as rice became cheaper, currants and dates were added, it was sweetened and flavoured with cloves and nutmeg. By the 20th century, rice was so cheap it became a staple in schools and hospitals and its rep began to wane. Boredom set in!

However, like bread and butter puddings, the rice pudding has been reinvented. It should be cooked slowly to allow the grains to absorb the liquid and become tender and creamy. But I’ve discovered it can successfully be microwaved for a shorter time — and adding chocolate gives it new appeal.

Old-fashioned bread and butter puddings were one of my mother’s faves — but she didn’t experiment by adding fruit, brandy or whisky. All three make a world of difference.

Cheers!

TAMARILLO BRIOCHE PUDDING Tamarillos have long been popular in crumbles, upsidedown puddings and hot fruit sponges. For change, I’ve adapted a French toast recipe as the topping for my baked tams. If brioche is unavailable, use fruit bread or white bread.

Tamarillos: 8 tamarillos, peeled, thickly sliced 4 tablespoons brown sugar 2 tablespoons orange juice 1/2 teaspoon Chinese five-spice Topping: 6-8 thick slices Brioche bread 3/4 cup cream 2 eggs 1 teaspoon finely grated orange rind

Chocolate Rice Pudding

Tamarillo Brioche Pudding Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the tamarillos in a 26cm x 16cm baking dish. Sprinkle with the brown sugar, orange juice and five-spice. Cover with foil and bake for about 20 minutes until just cooked.

Meanwhile, trim the crusts from the bread.

Beat the cream and eggs until combined. Add the orange rind. Pour into a shallow tray. Add the bread slices turning to coat evenly. Stand until the egg mixture has been absorbed by the bread.

Carefully cut each bread slice into 4 triangles Place on top of the tamarillos in a neat pattern. Bake for about 25 minutes until the bread is golden. Serves 6.

CHOCOLATE RICE PUDDING Make this in the microwave — prevents the pudding sticking to the saucepan. Great topped with sliced bananas tossed in brown sugar 1/4 cup medium grain rice, rinsed 2 cups milk 3 tablespoons cocoa powder 2 tablespoons sugar pinch salt 1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence 2 tablespoons chocolate chips Combine the rice, milk, cocoa powder, sugar and salt in a large microwave bowl. Cook on high for 5 minutes, stirring

halfway through.

Reduce the power to 50% and continue cooking for about 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes. It should be thick and creamy, not solid.

Stir in the vanilla and chocolate chips.

Pour into serving dishes. Great served with whipped cream.

Serves 4.

BREAD & BUTTER BANANA BRANDY PUDDING To make cinnamon sugar, combine 2 tablespoons of sugar with 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.

4 small bananas, peeled and sliced 2 tablespoons lemon juice 3 tablespoons marmalade 2 thick slices bread, buttered 2 eggs 3/4 cup milk 2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar 1 tablespoon butter 3-4 tablespoons brandy Toss the banana in the lemon juice to prevent discolouration. Place on the base of a 20-23cm baking dish. Dot with marmalade. Cut the bread in cubes and scatter on top. Beat the eggs, milk and sugar and pour over the pudding. Allow to soak for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile preheat the oven to 180°C. Dot the pudding with butter and bake for about 30 minutes. Pour the brandy over before serving. Serves 4-6.

It’s a class act at Karapiro

Juniors at Karāpiro School were the first students to stand on the new floor of their new science lab.

Karāpiro School is working with Greenstone Group and Lobell Construction to extend the school footprint by 30 square meters through the addition of a purpose-built science laboratory, expected to open in Term 4.

The school is also upgrading two classrooms with new insulation, ceilings, walls and flooring. The design includes flexible learning spaces that can be used by a whole class or smaller groups of students. The science lab, which is designed to accommodate scientific

experiments (including heating, cooling, making and freezing things) will be available for use by the whole school.

Principal Tina-Maree Thatcher has been leading Karāpiro School since 2016 and says the project is the realisation of a dream five years in the making.

The project has a value of about $400,000 and is funded through the school’s 10 year property plan and an additional grant from the Ministry of Education - Accelerated Modernisation Scheme (AMS).

The completed project will complement the school’s new carpark and driveway upgrade Kowhai Class with staff Tina Turkilsen, Whaea Faye Collier and Cheryl Naylor stand on the foundations of their new Science Lab. completed last year.

ELEGANCE ON THE OVAL (PARK)

Situated at the end of a private drive sits an elegant contemporary home, built in imported French brick with uninterrupted views over the prestigious Cambridge Park Oval. Even though only built in 2017, this professionally landscaped property with low maintenance and privacy in mind, it is a little oasis. There is an impressive outside entrance way and as you step into the glass entry your eyes are drawn to the openness of this house, looking out to the park and green spaces. Downstairs are three double bedrooms (separate bathroom between two and an ensuite for the third bedroom). One of these bedrooms has an external entry, enabling it to be used as guest accommodation, giving the astute buyer some extra income. An extra master bedroom with bathroom or a family room is upstairs, still enjoying glimpses of the local skyline. This unique location is never to be repeated and should be viewed privately for your own special treat. Call Greg or Raewyn now for that exclusive viewing on 021 043 4555 or 021 161 7247.
