Trophy time…

ABOVE: Hautapu celebrate with the Waikato Breweries Shield after their win in Cambridge.

RIGHT: Cambridge High regained the Tricolor Trophy.

A twin celebration

Hautapu wrapped up their second successive Waikato club rugby title on Saturday, as Waipā got the better of King Country - and at secondary school level, Cambridge High won back the Tricolor Trophy from Piako rivals Matamata.

Both matches went down to the wire as Hautapu beat Ōtorohanga 37-33 and Cambridge High won with a late penalty, 27-25.

The school side will defend the shield against Te Awamtu College on Saturday – while senior rugby eyes turn to the semifinals of the Division 1 competition where Leamington head to Tokoroa to play Southern United.

Slip sliding away I should like to draw attention to the dangerous state of the brick footpaths in the Cambridge town centre in heavy rain. Although wearing sensible shoes, I felt myself slipping several times in recent rain and choosing to then walk on the road edge. That is potentially treacherous in terms of what a fractured hip in a 70-year-old can do to quality of life. My husband suggests good water blasting may restore safety. I am Interested in the Council’s view on this.

Barbara Holloway Scott Cambridge Waipā District Council responds: The clay cobblestones were selected after evaluation of a range of options and skid resistance was one of the requirements. Most of the cobbles have a texture that resists slippage with most shoe types. If you rub your hand over them you can feel a grit or pitted surface. On the whole they have caused little trouble, however we are aware that some shoe soles can be tricky on this and other surfaces like painted surfaces or vinyl when wet. Unfortunately, we are unable to waterblast the cobble stones as this would remove the jointing sand and make them loose and encourage weed growth in the joints, but we can and do spray on a cleaning product which breaks down any dirt and algae which may have created a slippery surface. We only use products that are non-harmful to the environment for this process as run-off goes to the stormwater system and the river.

If parts of the footpath have become a hazardous, we encourage residents to give us a call on 0800 WAIPADC to report the issue and location so we can address it.

Not so beautiful Congratulations to Council staff and Cambridge residents on becoming finalists in The Best Main Street and Most Beautiful Town Awards. However, I do hope the judges don’t drive 250 metres west from Victoria St (our main street) to Lower Dick St. Here we have a street belonging to a third world town rather than Cambridge. On the western side we have no footpath and no kerb and channel, just an open stormwater drain.

Of the 13 residences fronting this berm, Council is taking in the vicinity of $30,000 a year in rates. I cannot understand why extensive lengths of reasonably adequate footpaths around town are being renewed to a high standard, while this street remains in the early 1900’s.

Surely Dick St deserves some return after residents (past and present) have been rated for 100 years plus. I do

believe Council are embarrassed they allowed the Medical Centre to establish their own private parking area on Public Land thus restricting a continuation of a Dick St footpath joining to the Alpha St one. But that is no excuse for nil progress. With parking so scarce, it has been suggested tar sealing the berm from Duke St to Alpha St would create approximately 15 parks. This would be far more affordable plus it would stop this street becoming one-way during school hours.

Please Council some action, or even intention, would be appreciated.

I.S.Thomas Cambridge Waipa District Council responds: Dick Street reflects the nature of historic Cambridge with its wide grass berms, large trees, a path on one side of the street and several gravel driveways - similar to many other Cambridge streets.

Since 1989 when the district was formed, Council has added many new paths and kerbs to streets around Cambridge, but this work can be very expensive and often difficult to do around the established trees. For this reason, installing new footpaths on streets which don’t have high pedestrian use or high volumes of traffic has not been given a high priority in Council’s budgets.

The current requirement that all streets have at least one footpath on at least one side of the road. Dick Street meets this criteria. A significant increase in traffic or pedestrian activity would need to be seen before a second footpath could be considered.

On the beat

with Senior Constable DEB THURGOOD

From Covid to cul-de-sacs I had a change of assignment recently and spent an early shift in a team manning a Covid-19 checkpoint north of Pokeno.

My role was to ensure that only those undertaking essential, approved travel crossed the border into the Level 3 area of Auckland city. It was heartening to see that the majority of people had the required documentation with them. Those that we did have to turn around, for the most part took the decision with good grace and understanding. It was also interesting to work with a few army staff in what was a joint operation. It is good to work alongside different agencies and Police from time to time, to get a job done. Aside from tripping over a road cone or two, everything went smoothly!

Back to more local concerns however and this week I want to discuss cul-de-sac safety. For many, living in a cul-de-sac is attractive for the appeal of a quiet, safe, non-through road in which to live, especially with children. Cul-de-sacs also offer an opportunity for even closer neighbourhood relationships. Sometimes however, conflict can be caused by just those behaviours that drew people to the street in the first place.

Children will often play outside in groups in a cul-de-sac - with a ball or on their scooters or bikes for example. When a group of children get together, voices and shouts get loud and this is not always welcomed by everyone in the neighbourhood.

When it comes to riding scooters, bikes and the like, a cul-de-sac requires all the road sense of any other road. We have had reports of children darting out from behind parked vehicles into the path of oncoming traffic. In some cases this appeared to have been a deliberate game of chicken and not just inattention.

It is important that parents educate their children around road safety and the need to look both ways to ensure no vehicles are approaching, before entering onto a road. While cul-de-sacs often have less traffic than some other roads, this can easily increase during times of local construction or just with daily commuting patterns. In addition it is important that noise levels be kept reasonable and we are considerate of each other.

As with any neighbourhood disputes, communication is so important. Minor irritations can quickly become blown up into large disputes when an early, friendly neighbourhood chat could have solved things.

I fully encourage everyone to form a Neighbourhood Support Group within their street for this reason as well as the important information they supply on crime prevention. NSGs not only provide communication opportunities, but also forge friendships and reduce the sense of isolation. Visit www.safercambridge.co.nz for more information and to sign up.

Vandals hit

Waipā District Councillors are expected to discuss the latest round of vandalism at the Gudex Park and Maungakawa reserves at Te Miro when they meet tomorrow.

For your convenience

Work starts next week on installing new a wastewater system in preparation for a new toilet block to replace the present facilities in Pirongia . The new toilets will be almost double the size of the current facilties and feature Pirongia's heritage colours red and green.

Another winner

The Boatshed Kayaks at Lake Karapiro has been named a Travellers’ Choice Winner by TripAdvisor, meaning it ranks among the top 10 percent of worldwide attractions. The company, which was set up in 2000

by Richard Clark, offers a number of different kayaking and stand-up paddle board options. It’s not the only one – see page 7 to read about how Camjet Boat Tours is also rated.

They can’t sleep on it

The Waikato Regional and District councils are at odds over a mammoth housing development planned to provide homes for workers at a proposed Sleepyhead factory at Ohinewai. The district council backs the plan, but the regional council says the houses should be built in Huntly.

Train talk

Labour’s Waikato electorate candidate Kerrin Leoni says the announcement of detailed planning work for a high-speed rail service between Hamilton and Auckland is a “game changer for northern Waikato River towns like Huntly and Ngaruawahia.” The Waikato Regional Council is already on track with the Te Huia service scheduled to start later this year.

Call for compulsory savings

Regional council chairman Russ Rimmington wants Waikato districts to abandon old school thinking and introduce legislation requiring new houses have built in water catchment.

He says the country made significant strides when it insisted on energy saving insulation and double glazing in new builds, and it was time to do better.

The former Hamilton mayor also believes solar heating should be provided free of cost on new homes jointly funded by the developer, council and central government.

His comments come after the Waikato Regional Council became engulfed in a debate with Auckland city over allowing more water from the Waikato River to be

sent north to ameliorate that city’s water crisis.

He said as global warming makes a greater impact, harvesting energy and water would become more and more important.

“We are seeing water use restrictions imposed every summer – that we do not take steps to do something about harvesting water off the roof is unacceptable. A 1200 litre tank built into on the side of a house will not be obtrusive and it will not add significantly to the price of the build,” he said.

“Why not make water harvesting and solar compulsory? The Cook Islands were doing this 40 years ago and their water heating on both residential and motels/hotels is solar.”

He said with Government

subsidies the work could not only create and save energy but also see upskilling and job creation.

“I look at the new subdivision at St Kilda in Cambridge and see millions of litres of rain falling on that area going uncaptured.

They should be retro fitting now. Councils must be prepared to move with the times,” he said.

“It is scandalous that Auckland has a water crisis, yet millions of litres of water simply go down the stormwater drain after every rainfall. It is time local and central government walk the talk regarding sustainability.

The leanrnz.org.nz website says in New Zealand the average person uses 227 litres of water every day - and the biggest

amount, 86 litres, is flushed down the toilet.

In Auckland, where residents pay for their water, there was a “rainwater tank boom” reported in 2015, but at that time even the city’s water company Watercare argued it was not economic.

But 12 years ago the Kāpiti Coast District Council required all new households in urban areas to install onsite water supplies for toilet flushing and outdoor uses.

It offers a funding service, by way of an interest free loan of up to $5000 plus GST, for residents whose homes were built prior to 2008 to buy and install on-site water supplies for outdoor irrigation.

Martyn Cole, Kāpiti Coast District Council Water & Wastewater Asset Manager

Russ Rimmington

said the council supported the use of rainwater and greywater for outdoor irrigation.

“If enough households use on-site water sources for outdoor irrigation, our current supplies will continue to meet the needs of our growing communities for years to come,” he said.

SeniorNet – it’s a best kept secret

By Viv Posselt

It’s been 20 years since SeniorNet Cambridge started up as a community-based IT training organisation aimed at making seniors fit more easily into a technology-driven world.

In that time, it has helped over 1100 people become more computer savvy, helped them connect with family and friends at a distance, brought them comfortable familiarity with the new normal of doing online business and banking.

SeniorNet Cambridge chairman Gordon Vick described it as “one of Cambridge’s best kept secrets”, saying the group had been quietly helping seniors get to grips with their technology since 2000.

It has helped them ‘strike a blow for technology freedom’, he suggested, catering for those who wanted to learn about technology … “or if your computer, smart phone or tablet seem like some dark arcane impenetrable magic, understandable only to your children and grandchildren.”

Working out of a building in the grounds of the Cambridge Community Centre in Taylor St, SeniorNet offers a range of courses on iPads, iPhones, Android tablets and phones, Windows10 and Apple

Mac computers, providing training in Microsoft Office products, the management of photographs and more.

Gordon said the training network was staffed by volunteers, mostly seniors showing other seniors how to do thing rather than simply doing things for them. “At SeniorNet, our goal is to show you how to do it and thereby make you more independent when it comes to using your devices.”

He said personal help sessions were also available, where SeniorNet specialists offered at-home help to people facing particular problems, often related to the setting up and connecting of computers, or troubleshooting with printers, routers and the like.

“While formal courses are available only to members, we do offer personal help sessions to anyone in the community, members or not,” said Gordon. “We can help people penetrate the buzzwords and anagrams in order to get the best from their computer … as well as set them up so they are in control of their information, rather than being reliant on children or grandchildren.”

Senior tutor Muriel Tooley, who has been with SeniorNet from the start when there were just 50

students, said information was also available to those seeking help in purchasing a computer. Right now, there are just over 100 students, many of whom make good use of the collection of written material left by former SeniorNet man, the late Peter Mackley, and now managed by Muriel.

“Most of our students are local, but we do get some from Te Awamutu and halfway to Hamilton,” she said, “and while we are supposed to be for the over 50s,

we do get younger people asking for help.”

Because much of the interaction is one-on-one and only five people can be tutored at a time, Muriel said there was a need for more tutors to cover the full programme. “We need volunteers willing to give up just a couple of hours a week.”

People who might be interested in tutoring – or who want more details on the courses available should contact SeniorNet’s class coordinator Martin Pracy on 839 4179.

Tool thieves hit Community house

By Viv Posselt

About $3000 worth of equipment has been stolen from a locked shed at the back of Achievement House in Cambridge’s Wilson St. The theft of the Stihl tools - which included a lawnmower, leaf blower, trimmer, weed-eater, batteries and lubricant spray - occurred sometime between Friday to Monday, August 14-17.

It was discovered by Achievement House manager Neil Fynn early on Monday - thieves had broken the lock on the shed and taken the equipment.

“They must have had a car to remove it,” he said.

“It looks to have been targeted… seems they knew what they were after. This is the first theft we’ve had in the four years I’ve been here. It leaves us unable to maintain our properties. It’s

gutting.”

Neil said Achievement House relied heavily on public support to sustain its operation.` “The money for these tools had been donated to Achievement House by the Cambridge Christmas Festival Society, with the intention that the equipment was used in the upkeep of our properties.”

The enterprise is also supported by other groups,

including Rotary and Lions clubs.

Achievement House is an enterprise that helps people with a disability by offering opportunities in employment, occupation, community participation and social engagement.

It has been going since 1979 and is a valued base for individuals who meet Ministry of Social Development or Ministry of Health criteria for disability

support funding.

News of the theft spread fast, and Neil said both police and people in the community were quick to respond. Donations and offers of help have come in.

“We will have to replace the tools soon and have put in additional security. We are also looking at putting in CCTV. We will need to fundraise for that, of course … it’s a bit of a quiet spot down here, it would be in

Menzshed team joins attack on rats

By Karen Barlow Predator Control Community Coordinator

Predator Free Cambridge (PFC) is a nonprofit organisation intent on removing predator species such rats, possums and stoats, using humane kill traps without poison.

It provides support and expertise to landowners as well as rat traps for a gold coin donation and coordinates community groups to trap in high priority natural areas and work closely with Waipa Council.

Waipa Council recently provided funding for traps, lure and supplies for tunnel boxes to house rat traps. Rats prey on native species, contaminate food supplies, chew through electrical wiring and spread disease.

They are prolific breeders but are generally nocturnal so most people are unaware they are so abundant, even in town.

The rat traps PFC give out are housed in wooden tunnel boxes which prevent non-

target species like birds, pets or children from getting injured. They keep the trap and bait dry and ensure the rat approaches the trap directly from the front to ensure a humane kill.

The team at Cambridge Menzshed, led by Dave Callaghan, are making hundreds of wooden tunnel boxes for PFC during their weekly sessions.

The Menzshed philosophy is to bring men and women together in one community space to share their skills, have a laugh and work on practical tasks individually (personal projects) or as a group (for the shed or community). Cambridge Menzshed opened its doors in 2015 and was the 100th to be set up in New Zealand. It is at the Resthaven Village Centre at 4 Vogel Street and is open to the community every Wednesday, with winter opening hours 9am to 1pm.

Two keen Menzshedders who have been helping with the wooden tunnel boxes are Allen Cartwright and Emmett Fallon. Allen

is a talented wood carver who enjoys coming to the shed and being part of the tunnel box project. Emmett is a visitor from Ireland who has been staying with family in Cambridge after a planned three-month holiday turned into six months due to Covid-19.

This project is a wonderful collaboration between two groups. Working together on this predator control initiative strengthens the Cambridge community and connects people with different skills together to get the mahi done.

Ideally there should be a rat trap in every fifth backyard to target rats. If your property borders the river or gully, then there should be a rat trap in every backyard since these are areas most likely to have more rats present.

Collectively Cambridge residents can make an impact if everyone plays their part. Email Karen at karen@goeco.org.nz with your name, address, email and phone number to get one. A gold coin donation is Allen Cartwrght (left) and Dave Callaghan at work on another box to house a rat trap. appreciated.

THE AGE OF REASON

NO PLANET B

Why we have to team up

Can we be bothered?

The Covid activity again besetting us is interesting to behold.

Firstly there is care and protection. Which essentially involves distancing – including recording of movements and using face masks to stem the flow of undesirable droplets of invasive fluids.

It has now been revealed that our major and all-important bastion – the geographical border of the country – has been wide open ever since February.

One had envisaged that anyone working at the border (for which read mainly airport front-line customs staff, baggage handlers, immigration officers and the nice ladies with the cute sniffing dogs) would all have been doused to the eyeballs in protection.

Having passed through these well-protected good people, the visitors – Covid riddled or otherwise – were bundled off to hotels which, in and of themselves, were never designed to be quarantine nor de-lousing facilities.

And it was not until the second wave hit that a number of investigative journalists started to ask some very direct questions about the veracity of the government’s (political and bureaucratic) perception of how tight the system was.

And further as to how the dictums of the political arm of government were actually being translated into formative action by the bureaucrats. Like it or not there was a gap - a chink in the armour if you will – which permitted those setting foot on the election campaign trail to throw some mud.

In the middle of this fracas a very political decision was made to delay the national election by a month thus giving those who chose to criticise another four weeks to throw verbal missiles at the system. And suddenly the Team of Five Million were at each others’ throats demanding that heads should roll – a euphemism

I wonder if this is it. All this interminable rain - is it climate change or just some inclement weather? I have no idea whether we are experiencing more rain than normal for this time of year. I don’t even know what normal is. I do know that one of the predicted consequences of climate change is more extremes of weather and they do seem to be happening. The highest temperature ever recorded on earth - since humans have been measuring it anyway - happened just recently in California that’s an extreme. Sea levels are, in fact, rising. Stories of storms and tempests across the globe seem to be ever more frequent on the news.

But are they? It certainly seems that they are, but we can’t be 100% certain unless we count them and compare the statistics with past figures. This is why we need science. Scientists count and measure things, and then, using knowledge and expertise gained through years of study and research, they attempt to draw conclusions from the information they have gathered.

I once read that a fool knows he is right whilst a wise man realises he may be wrong.

Scientists always accept the possibility that they may be wrong; it comes with the territory since they are dealing with subjects which usually include a fair bit of the unknown. Many people, like teenagers, on the other hand, are often unassailably right, even when the knowledge they bandy has been gleaned from a quick five minutes on the internet.

One must forgive the teenagers though, it has been scientifically proven that they

for dealing with scapegoats where the head concerned may shift sideways in the system but most certainly remains firm upon the shoulder of the alleged miscreants.

Lest we forget (thank you Rudyard Kipling) New Zealand - despite the mad ravings of one D.J. Trump - and its similarly physically placed island friend Taiwan, are held up throughout the world by the way in which the virus has been slowed down and contained.

In my very early life I lived in a country at war.

Not a war that was a quick flash – send out the troops – beat off the marauders – and swiftly ride home triumphant. It was a war that dragged on for almost six weary coupon-rationing destitute years. Where wave after wave was repulsed.

Where resolute people learned to change and adapt. Where politicians and bureaucrats worked as one throughout. And we emerged safely out at ‘the other side’ much the wiser for the disruption to normal lives, stronger and thirsting for a return to peaceful friendly coexistence.

It is highly undesirable to spiral down into a factional rabble of accusatory thrust. This virus is far more agile, varied and wily than anything World war II adversaries were ever able to achieve. It is unseen, unheard, evasive and deadly. It needs the physical strength of a combined national ability to rebut it – hopefully for ever. It will thrive further if our ability to combine brains, brawn and cunning is watered down in dissention, accusation and layer upon layer of ‘experts’ at the front line. It may be time to recognise that one major political party alone (I discount the minor ones) cannot effectively handle this and that there should be a combined thought process at play here.

By Peter Matthews

are not right in the head. I remember being one, it was great, and so were my twenties and thirties. Things only started getting serious after that.

Anyway, back to climate change: I met a man in the street a few months ago who proclaimed “Climate change - it’s official!”. I felt a brief surge of vindication, as I’m sure does everyone who has their view supported quite so unequivocally. It was short-lived though, as he flashed up a picture of golden leaves on his phone and concluded “It’s autumn!”.

This is what we’re up against - we who accept that climate change is an issue which has been caused by the activities of humans, which unchallenged will cause untold human suffering, and which can be halted and even reversed by immediate, comprehensive, and decisive action.

We’re up against flat out denial, procrastination, resistance to change, the momentum of existing big business, and good old apathy: Try as we might we are unable to - we just can’t - it’s not that we don’t want to - we just can’t - be bothered.

I wonder whether there is, in fact, enough combined desire for the necessary change to make it happen, or will we, as a global community, slide towards a very much more difficult future than might otherwise have been possible simply because we couldn’t be bothered to reach out and grab the rail.

TripAdvisor kudos for Aaron

By Viv Posselt

Aaron Crossan is in high spirits following news that his business, CamJet Boat Tours Cambridge, appears in the top 10 percent of world attractions in the latest TripAdvisor rankings.

The company won a TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Award 2020, one that is based on the level of good feedback from clients using CamJet. “I heard my phone go off around 4am one morning last week. I couldn’t believe it when I read it … this is absolutely awesome.”

The win is great validation for

the punt Aaron took when he started the business in 2011. Its popularity grew steadily, until in 2017 he brought a second eightperson boat, one that had been used on Queenstown’s Lake Wakatipu.

He had been on the cusp of purchasing a third boat in January this year, but Covid-19 put paid to that. The tight lockdowns of levels 4 then 3 saw business grind to a halt for a couple of months, but Aaron has kept it going through levels 2 to 1 and is hopeful things will normalise in time for the upcoming summer season, which is always their busiest.

CamJet Boat Tours Cambridge managing director Aaron Crossan with the TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Award 2020.

“The current Auckland lockdown has affected us, but we have just come out of the busiest July school holidays we have ever had,” he said.

Their main season is between October and April, when bookings often include business functions, team building groups and Christmas parties on top of the regular families and groups.

CamJet runs two 350hp V8 jet boat along the Waikato River, departing from the ramp at the low-level bridge, going up to the high-level bridge then heading off to the base of Karapiro Dam, where there is enough white water to satisfy thrill-seekers.

One ride is the adrenalinpumping Extreme Jet Tour, which is perfect for those seeking high adventure and speed. It includes dramatic 360-degree spins and accounts for at least 90 percent of the company’s bookings.

Those preferring a more sedate ride can choose the Ecological River Cruise, a more leisurely option that can be tailored to suit the customer. Both take in sightseeing and provide information on the history of the region and the native birds and fish that can be seen in the river ecosystem.

Although there are water-based rides offered in other parts of the North Island, Aaron said there was nothing quite like this within 100km of Cambridge. “Auckland is a huge part of our market – and

people coming here like to take in multiple activities which are within easy reach of us.”

He said CamJet had received certificated awards before, based on good customer reviews, but nothing at this level.

“This is huge for us, very exciting. It’s a pretty cool achievement for CamJet, Cambridge and the Waipā district.

I would like to thank all my supporters and clients who have shared their CamJet experience with the world on TripAdvisor.”

Miff Macdiarmid, CEO of Destination Cambridge, described the win as “awesome”.

“What a fantastic achievement,” she said. “Nice work Aaron and the team at CamJet. We’re proud to have you in our backyard.”

A joint platform for success

Waipā company Rocketspark and Wintec have teamed up to get businesses online.

Wintec students use Rocketspark’s web building platform to create free e-commerce sites for Waikato businesses.

More than 80 e-commerce websites have been built by students studying the Graduate Diploma in Supply Chain Logistics since 2019 for start-ups and existing businesses.

Rocketspark is a Cambridgebased software company.

Supporting local business owners facing the effects of a Covid-19 hampered economy and new startups are areas in need, Head of Partnerships at Rocketspark, Jason Tiller said.

“Every business needs a website and the students can design a bespoke e-commerce website for a local business, for free.

“This partnership is creating a path for business to sell online, and it proves you don’t need to outlay massive amounts of money to

launch into the e-commerce space.”

Paula Sutton, Chief Operating Officer of Waikato Chamber of Commerce, also operates a small business with her sister, Amy, creating artworks that celebrate New Zealand. They had no visible presence online until Paula worked with Wintec students last semester on a new ecommerce website for Ampa.

“The students took their time in getting to know us and understand what we wanted from a new website that more accurately reflected our brand,” she said.

Wintec academic Ehsan Yaeghoobi tutors the Graduate Diploma in Supply Chain Logistics, a programme for people who already have a degree, or relevant work experience and want to upskill into supply chain and management positions.

“Supply chain logistics is an increasingly exciting and vital space connecting suppliers, distributors, manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers to end users,” he said.

A build you’ll enjoy and a home you’ll love.

Steph Bell-Jenkins takes a novel approach to a story which, quite simply, takes the biscuit.

The search for ‘true’ leadership…

The bikkies are back!

By Murray Smith, Senior Leader, Bridges Church

Cambridge News journalist Steph Bell-Jenkins is “jubilant and extremely relieved” following news her son’s favourite Golden Fruit biscuits are to remain on local supermarket shelves.

“This is right up there with the day I discovered liquorice tea,” the mother of three said. “I’m elated.”

Bell-Jenkins, who is breaking one of the rules of journalism by referencing herself in a story, noticed her eightyear-old son Darcy’s favourite Golden Fruit biscuits had disappeared from supermarkets over lockdown.

“It was heartbreaking,” she said.

“I went to all the supermarkets in Cambridge and a few dairies too, but I couldn’t find them anywhere. By early August we were down to our last biscuit, so I called Griffins in desperation.”

Griffins spokesperson Keely Allen told the fraught mother Golden Fruit biscuits, Sultana Pasties and Macaroons had been temporarily out

of stock because of Covid-19.

“These bikkies require our bakers to work close together while making them in our bakery and, because of social distancing, our Steph Bell-Jenkins bakers had to take a break until the alert levels eased distancing requirements,” Allen said.

“As soon as lockdown lifted, we got our team of bakers in to produce the biscuits for our very eager customers.”

Bell-Jenkins said it was “magical and heartwarming” when the bikkies reappeared in Cambridge supermarkets early this month.

However, panic struck again when Auckland went into Covid-19 Alert Level 3 on August 12.

“I was worried the Golden Fruits might go out of production again and that disappointment would have been hard to bear,” Bell-Jenkins said.

“But Griffins said it had put new measures in place since the first lockdown that will protect workers’ health and allow it to continue producing Golden Fruits, Sultana Pasties and Macaroons.

“The boys and I are absolutely delighted. In these challenging times, being able to have your favourite biscuit in your school lunchbox every day is pretty sweet.”

When the chips are down or an external influence threatens us Kiwis, we’re pretty good at rallying together in collective solidarity.

Such a rallying point occurred for many New Zealanders over their shared surprise at US President Donald Trump recently lining up New Zealand in his sights to patronisingly disparage our Covid-19 stats.

On several occasions he stated our country was in enormous difficulty with a pandemic surge (under nine at the time) of new Covid cases.

Claiming a ‘massive breakout’ he piteously opined, “New Zealand, New Zealand, it’s over for New Zealand, everything’s gone, it’s all overthey’re beautiful…” Evidently an attempt to pull us down a few pegs having attained global attention for containing things relatively well.

Recognise any resemblance here to the childish strategy that if you “put out someone else’s candle it makes yours burn brighter?”

Sadly his success in being sparingly economical with the truth, has not corresponded with his success on the home front in juggling Covid-19 and keeping people or the economy alive.

America and New Zealand share a rich history as allies and of course no one rejoices in the upheavals going on in the States or anywhere else for that matter. The reality is America isn’t alone in dealing with domestic difficulties and challenges -not to mention extensive foreign policy headaches and endless diplomatic tensions to navigate.

Around the globe governments and world leaders are grappling with unprecedented complexities. Governing domestically while steadying tottering economies, fragile international relationships plus facing an uncertain future as our mistreated planet recoils from years of reckless lack of stewardship, is beyond the most erudite leader.

While nations clamour for better styles of leadership and governance, perhaps expending effort in searching out and anointing better men and women to lead could be more appropriate. Quite often when leadership’s personal or moral failure is publicly disclosed, it is surprising how the claim is made that the leader’s personal life has nothing to do with their public office or ability to govern.

Staggering, the incongruity of that. What are people thinking? Personal governance precedes any other arena of governance.

Everyone makes mistakes but if a leader’s private life displays moral recidivism can they really lead in a public office with authenticity and integrity? Character outweighs charisma. It is appropriate to expect high standards from civic and governmental leaders. Granted no leader is perfect, but maintaining the ideal is preferable to wantonly embracing imperfection!

The whole world longs for a ‘champion’… some leader to fix things up. Nelson Mandela was a great leader in many respects, yet he acknowledged being, “not a messiah, but an ordinary man who had become a leader because of extraordinary circumstances…”

Handel composed his famous oratorio “Messiah” capturing lines from the Bible referencing a perfect Leader who is no ‘ordinary man’…He will bring justice and truth, making all things new.

One day the world will recognise Him. “For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder…”

THURSDAY AUGUST 27, 2020

Christmas parade Massive planting project launched – what a story As Christmas parades are cancelled around the country, the Cambridge parade has been confirmed for Sunday December 6, with a 2pm start.

Destination Cambridge named the day this week and said Cambridge New World would again be the event’s major sponsor.

Destination Cambridge CEO Miff Macdiarmid said their support, both financial and as part of the volunteer crew on the day, was invaluable.

“The parade is also greatly assisted by grants from Pub Charity and the Cambridge Community Board, as well as category sponsors.

Without the funding, it would be a different event.”

Santa will be back again this December.

Float categories this year will be schools, community groups, preschools and business. The overall winner will be chosen from the category winners.

Vicki Ewing will again take on the role of specialist parade co-ordinator, and Waipā District Council will offer support with event and traffic management.

Vicki said she is keen to get more businesses involved this year, principally to heighten awareness of the ‘shop local’ campaign for goods and services. She urged businesses to start planning their floats now.

This year’s theme, ‘A Storybook Christmas’, is intended to get entrants thinking about their favourite yuletide tales, such as the Grinch, Polar Express, Scrooge, Nutcracker and the like. Judging the floats will be based on five criteria – evidence of the theme, aesthetic appeal, people involvement, people movement, and originality.

Entries, which are restricted to around 50, are now open, and will close on November 22. Entry forms are available from Cambridge i-SITE, by emailing info@cambridge. co.nz, or by phoning 07-823 3456.

The parade would not be held if we move to Covid-19 levels 2, 3 or 4, but it can go ahead at level 1 if there are no added requirements around crowd size.

Cambridge Tree Trust

The landscape at The Sculpture Park at Waitakaururu Arboretum in Tauwhare is undergoing a transformation of sorts.

Planting is underway of more than 3000 trees and shrubs originating from China, Korea, India and Japan, says Dorothy Wakeling, who together with husband John, owns the 17.5 hectare park.

They developed it into an ‘artin-nature’ trail from a disused quarry years ago, and the park that now displays more than 100 sculptures and installations and is home to many thousands of trees and shrubs representing flora from around the world.

The facility is recognised as one of New Zealand’s largest outdoor galleries; it regularly holds an annual programme of exhibitions and open weekends in support of various charities.

Dorothy said the current planting regime extends the Asian section of trees at the arboretum by a further three hectares, replacing a recently-felled pine plantation.

“The planting plan, designed by landscape architect Felicity Campbell, fills the hillsides with cherries, ginkgoes, maples, firs, cedars and rhododendrons,” she said. “Felicity’s ambitious design reflects her long-term knowledge of the park, where she worked as a volunteer. More magnolias will feature at this time of year.”

Volunteers have helped mark out clusters of the more than 90 different species on steep terrain, said Dorothy. “These

trees have been sourced from wholesale nurseries throughout New Zealand, some are rare and endangered in their own habitat.”

She said that in the years before the planting matures to fill the hillsides, visitors to the park will be able to walk up the pathway and enjoy the views from the crest of the hill. “The panorama stretches

out from the Hākarimata Range to Pukemoremore and beyond.

Eventually, it will be part of the second loop walk for the park.”

Visitors can enjoy the 2km ‘art-in-nature’ trail on any day by booking, or simply by coming along when the park gates are open on Sundays. Details are from www.sculpturepark.co.nz.

In the depths of winter the velvety brown buds of the Michelia open to reveal an amazing display of large, heavily-scented, creamy-white blooms. To some the fragrance is exquisite, to others it is almost overpoweringly sickly. An evergreen tree, the Michelia can grow to 20 or 30 metres in height, although garden centres have smaller varieties such as ‘Silver Cloud’, which reach to only half this height. It is Michelia doltsopa very popular as an ornamental feature in parks and gardens, is sometimes used as a street tree, and can even be pruned as a hedge.

Michelia doltsopa is a native of the Eastern Himalayan region and of the Meghalayan subtropical forests of North Eastern India. It is a member of the magnolia genus, and as such is also related to the liriodendron (tulip tree) of the Eastern USA, which is the giant of the genus, growing to 60 metres or more.

The wood of the Michelia is a rich brown colour, and like the flowers is very fragrant.

In Nepal and Bhutan it is used in house-building, where in recent decades it has sometimes suffered from over-harvesting.

Monday,” said Destination Cambridge CEO Miff Macdiarmid. “This is really disappointing, but having caught up with event hosts, sponsors and stakeholders, postponing it is the logical choice.

We will give ourselves some space to see what evolves in the next few weeks before deciding on new dates.”

Uncertainty around Covid restrictions, and the fact that so many Aucklanders attended the inaugural Culinary Cambridge event last September, helped inform the decision. Hosting events that attracted people

from further afield, including Auckland and Tauranga, formed part of Destination Cambridge’s remit this year to help boost visitor nights to town.

The 10-day event was aimed at showcasing Cambridge’s eclectic food scene, incorporating local producers, retailers and hospitality outlets. It was aimed at inspiring a more creative and experimental approach to food, as well as educating people about local produce, sustainability and environmental choices around food.

OBITUARY – BERYLE OSMOND: 29.09.1920 – 12.08.2020

Award winning matriarch remembered

By Viv Posselt

Of all the threads that made up Beryle Osmond’s near century, it is those she wove around caring for others that made her a remarkable woman.

Mourners at her August 17 funeral learned there was more to Beryle than met the eye. They learned she served as a ‘second mother’ to her younger siblings, she helped raise the spirits of servicemen stationed on the family’s Australian farm, she bucked the conventions of her day, and eventually entrenched herself in Cambridge and Waikato’s civic and community life to the point where she was recognised with a slew of awards.

They also learned she was spirited sportswoman, a lover of fashion – the more colourful, the better. She was a supportive wife and polished hostess, remembered as much for her good cuisine and love of art as for her legendary shoe collection and

spectacular wallpaper. It seems Beryle was also a bit of a card when it came to surprising younger family members.

Beryle’s daughter Meredith said her mother’s life began in Victoria, Australia, the eldest of seven born to a grazier father and piano teacher mother. Her father’s success netted them a property in Werribee South, where White’s Road remains a legacy to their name and where the family enjoyed a gracious lifestyle, one in which Beryle took on the responsibility of helping her asthmatic mother run the household. After attending Melbourne’s Presbyterian Ladies’ College, she worked for her father.

During WW2, the family did its bit for the war effort. The girls made camo nets, helped those in a nearby internment camp, and mixed with men at a US airbase set up on land they sold for that purpose. “It was an exciting time for the girls,” said Meredith.

“They were beautiful, and the men were plentiful.”

Family members carry Beryle’s painted casket from the church after her farewell service.

Beryle Osmond died at Resthaven Cambridge just weeks shy of her 100th birthday.

Beryle’s brother Athol was lost in the war.

She went on to defy her father’s wishes and studied social work at Melbourne University, then took a job in Townsville doing what was described as ‘experimental and difficult’ work with local women and girls. A desire to head overseas saw her sail to New Zealand aboard the Wahine in 1948 where she found employment with the YWCA in Lower Hutt and met Ron Osmond – a young man then finishing his law degree, and one by early accounts she thought looked rather ‘goofy’.

They married in Wellington in July 1950, then moved to Cambridge, building a home in Leamington in 1952 where they remained for 30 years. The couple had four children – Meredith, Murray, Alastair and Leighton.

Beryle was widowed in 2014, and when she died at Resthaven Cambridge on August 14, she had nine grandchildren and 20 great-

grandchildren.

Even as a young mum, Beryle helped others. She set up a support group for mothers, became a president and life member of numerous organisations, and was deeply involved with Cambridge Kindergarten, Toastmasters, the Lyceum Club, Plunket, IHC and the Community Arts Council. She also set up the town’s first day care centre.

“I was told it was easier to go along with her than oppose her,” said Meredith. “She believed in making a difference … not doing things for yourself as much as for the community.”

In 1973, Beryle was one of three women named as Waikato Women of the Year; in 1977 she was awarded a Silver Jubilee medal; and in 1993 awarded the National Women’s Suffrage Medal for her contributions to women in their communities in New Zealand.

Her children remember having to fit around their mother’s busy schedule, and were sometimes ‘farmed’ out. They remember her as being direct, warm and loving, a civic icon whom they described as “an outstanding woman of her time”, a woman not given to excess for whom ‘moderation’ became a byword.

Elsie Churchill, one of two of Beryle’s surviving sisters recalled ‘Berry’ as being clever, competent and empathetic, someone who achieved well when women were not encouraged to follow their own careers.

Her funeral was held at Trinity St Paul’s Church in Cambridge, Beryle’s place of worship and a church in which she had long been involved.

Volunteers to the rescue CHS run continues

Steph Bell-Jenkins spent time side-line at junior sports fixtures in Cambridge on Saturday – and reports on the sterling efforts behind ensuring the games went on.

Toby Williams blazes up the park for his combined Cambridge East School and Hautapu School, which took on Leamington School at Leamington School.

Kristian Remington, playing for a combined Cambridge East School and Hautapu School team, takes on the Leamington School Warriors at Leamington School.

Administrators and volunteers have come to the rescue to keep junior sport running through Covid-19 Alert Level 2.

Restrictions that came into force on August 12 limiting public gatherings to 100 people prompted junior rugby, netball and hockey officials to pull the pin on games scheduled for two days later.

But organisers were able to get some junior players back on fields and courts last Saturday, after scrambling to find ways to comply with level 2 restrictions.

Cambridge Netball Centre president Jacqui McCann said a group of volunteers had pulled together to brainstorm a creative solution.

“We hired construction fencing and put it right down the middle of our main court, which meant we had three zones in one and we could have 300 people in three separate gatherings,” she said.

Between the time spent organising this set-up, re-planning the draw, keeping a detailed contact tracing register and sanitising each zone between rounds, Jacqui estimated the workload for volunteers had increased 300 per cent.

But it had been worth it, she said.

“The committee’s buzzing from the

She thanked the Future Ferns netball Leamington School rugby coordinator committee and volunteers for allowing Jude Fitness said it was about “giving the junior netball to continue. kids a sense of normality and keeping “The team really pulled together and their regular weekend structure so things made a lot of personal sacrifices to make feel normal for them”. it happen...they definitely went above “Some kids get quite anxious when and beyond,” she said. they hear all the goings on, and it’s just Rippa rugby was out for Memorial about keeping daily life as much as Park in Cambridge last Saturday because possible the same for them, so they don’t the ground was closed to host the final have that anxiety and they’ve got a bit of of the final of the Waikato senior rugby an outlet,” she said. competition.

Cambridge High School Premier Girls won their fourth game in a row at the weekend in the Waikato High School Lacrosse League when they beat defending champions St Peter’s Cambridge.

During the early stages, there was nothing to separate the teams, with both on two goals after the first 20 minutes, but Cambridge High appeared to switch into a different gear to score 16 goals without reply.

St Peters Cambridge have been dominant side in Waikato Girls High School Lacrosse for the last two years, winning both the Waikato High School League and New Zealand Nationals in 2018 and 2019. The team is in a rebuilding phase for this year after several Premier players left school last December.

Despite the loss, St Peter’s Premier coach, Natasha Singh, commented “It was an awesome game today”.

“Definitely the best game the St Peter’s team has played this season. We are a very young team this year, having lost 11 players since last year (school leavers), so it was awesome to see them really coming together and stepping up to face a very experienced Cambridge High team. It was a very clean game, flowed nicely and I’m sure everyone had something positive and some key opportunities to take away from it.”

FEATURE Waikato High School Lacrosse has had to adapt quickly over the past week to stay within the Level 2 restrictions.

While some matches were played at Tamahere as usual, others – including the St Peters Cambridge High game - were rescheduled at school grounds. Spectators and supporters were required to stay away.

Singh commented” It was such a beautiful afternoon and so nice to be able to play at St Peter’s, even without any supporters.”

The round-robin games continue for another three weeks, with the finals of the Waikato High Lacrosse League scheduled September 19.

Women title contenders with latest win

After a difficult start to the year, Cambridge’s women footballers are now chasing regional title honours.

A fortnight before the season began in May, the club’s women’s team looked doubtful with only eight players registered.

New coach Jamie McKean recruited the rest of a young squad which has since doubled in size and is challenging to win the Waikato Women’s Second Division.

Second-placed Cambridge travel to Thames this Sunday to meet the competition leaders in a game that may sway the title.

Cambridge have lost only once this season (in June) and are unbeaten in eight games.

They have the best defence in the Waikato, conceding a misly eight goals in 10 fixtures.

Last Sunday, they beat thirdplaced Te Awamutu 3-1.

The teams shared a goalless first half before Te Awamutu broke the deadlock five minutes into the second spell. Cambridge’s response took two minutes. Sophie Young crossed for striker Astrid

Howarth to level with her 13th goal of the season.

On the hour, Howarth found her 14th of the year when she converted a cross from Olivia Sutherland. With 10 minutes left, Marie O’Neill put the result beyond doubt, finishing a pass from captain Steph Upton.

In men’s football, Cambridge’s Reds have not played since Auckland went into Alert Level 3, forcing a suspension of the Northern League.

The club was waiting to learn this week whether the competition would resume in time for the Reds to host Auckland’s BeachlandsMaraetai at John Kerkhof Park on Saturday.

Spectators are advised to check the club website (www. cambridgefootball.co.nz) for updates.

All games on Saturday will be part of the club’s Rod Larnach Day, in memory of their Life Member who died in May, aged 71.

In the WaiBOP Championship, Cambridge finally hit their straps with a 5-1 win against Waikato

Chris Dodds rises highest in a packed Cambridge defence against Waikato Unicol.

Unicol. The win ended a string of five draws.

Unicol created several early chances, forcing Cambridge goalkeeper Shaun Bax to make two excellent saves.

Against the run of play, Cambridge won their first corner of the game in the 15th minute and from the resulting set-piece, Aaron Huesser gave his side the lead with a header. Unicol levelled on the half-hour.

Cambridge settled into their game and took the lead again in the 36th minute through Ryan Ashby. Cambridge started the second half with gusto and increased their lead almost immediately, through left back Chris Dodds.

The home side reinforced their victory with goals in the dying minutes through Joshua Dagnall and substitute Miguel Peterle.

The win was of some relief to

Cambridge whose league record does not reflect their ability – the team has lost only two of their 11 fixtures but a string of five draws sees the team in mid-table.

In Waikato Division Two, a Melville United team strengthened by players not needed for postponed Northern League action beat Cambridge 5-2.

Cambridge goalscorers were Peter Buesnel and Thomas Gifford.

Midfielder Zak Petropoulos was the Player of the Day. In Waikato Division Five,Cambridge D1s lost 4-0 to Northern United.

The D2 team fared better, snaring their third successive win with a 3-1 win at West Hamilton United.

Scorers were Matt Vink, Chris Hill and Andrew Myers.

In the U-14 WaiBOP Federation Y-League, Melville United beat Cambridge 10-2. Lucah de Roo scored both Cambridge goals.

In the U-12 J-League, Cambridge beat Hamilton Wanderers 7-1.

Scorers were Jaxson Makgill (3), Luca Savage, Luke Brooke-Smith (2) and Bede Newlands.

Blues down Putaruru

Leamington won their last game of the Division 1A club Waikato club rugby round by a flattering 45-21 margin over Putaruru.

The first half was a tough physical battle which saw Drew Bootten, James Fraser and Mitch Abbot score tries and Regan Erueti convert all three - but Putaruru were equal to them and half time saw the scores tied 21 all.

The second half opened up for Leamington with

further tries to Jarred Davey, Erueti 2 and player of the day Josh Makay.

The club’s Colts side had it much easier against Putaruru racing to a 76-5 win while the Under 85kg side drew 15-all at Eastern Suburbs.

Tricolor back in Cambridge Stuart Bruce kicked a 35-metre penalty to bring the coveted Tricolor Trophy back to Cambridge High on Saturday.

The 27-25 win has set up a Waipā secondary schools rugby battle for the trophy, and the Waipā Cup next Saturday when Cambridge hosts Te Awamutu College at Memorial Park Cambridge lost the trophy to Matamata at the start of the month – and lost the following week to Te Awamutu, who were denied an opportunity to challenge their Piako rivals because of Covid restrictions.

The latest challenge was played without supporters – as will happen this weekend.

Matamata made the stronger start and after 40 minutes was 17-5 up, then 22-5 up early in the second half.

Cambridge responded admirably to chalk up 17 points without reply to lead 24-22 with 10 minutes to play.

The match came down to an interchange of penalties – first Matamata snatched back the lead 25-24, then Bruce was called on to clinch the match with three minutes on the clock.

Try scorers were Zac Molloy, Jake Fuller, James Medley and Jacob Taurima.

Hautapu goes back to back Thousands of supporters watched on line at Hautapu recorded back to back Waikato club rugby final wins last weekend.

The match is thought to be the most watched club match on line posted by the Waikato Union – 1500 watched the match live, almost 35,000

have visited the site.

Sean Hohneck’s side survived 10 minutes with a player in the sinbin, and a last minute chip and chase as Otorohanga mounted a late comeback in a game which finished 37-33.

The match was played under Covid condition, with

Paula Mahe’s way forward is blocked during Saturday’s final.

ENGINEERING SUPPLIES

100 supporters from both clubs in segregated areas.

“It felt like a final,” Hohneck said Both teams had played their semifinals in an empty FMG Stadium in Hamilton and Hohneck had no doubt which atmosphere he preferred – and being able to celebrate with supporters present. Ōtorohanga lost on the scoreboard, but their fans lined up to pay tribute to the side online, some calling it the best game they had seen all season.

The 2012 champions were down by nine with just over two minutes on the clock when Cortez-Lee Ratima scored his second try to close the gap to just four – and set up a nail-biting finale.

Many supporters logged in from overseas to watch their home team.

Hohneck noted that finals could be a boring affair as teams strive to avoid making

errors, but this match was a see-saw open affair and he paid tribute to the King Country side. Ōtoroanga manager Merv Carr was equally complimentary of Hautapu in paying tribute to the performance of his side.

The teams traded tries in the first half before Hautapu went ahead with two Coby Miln penalties and a try to Josh Gascoigne.

But there was drama in the second half when visitors were awarded a penalty try and Hautapu’s first five Jason Thomasen was shown a yellow card for a head high tackle as Ōtorohanga looked to score out wide..

With a man advantage Otorohanga then added two more converted tries to Ratima and Sam Ramuwau to lead 28-20.

Back to a full compliment, Hautapu responded with three more tries to Anton Milnes, Jeriah Mua and Coby

Miln to lead 37-28.

Otorohanga closed the gap with an unconverted trto Ratima, and at 37-33 it came down to fullback Kaea Hongara blocking a chip from his opposite number Te Amo Wilbore to blot out out the King Country side’s last chance to score off a kick and chase.

Many of the Hautapu players now report for further duty at Waikato training level.

Hohneck, a winner of the Waikato Breweries Shied now as both a player and coach, says he’s open to continuing in the role as the club bids for a hattrick of titles.

Scorers: Hautapu 37 Nico Aanderwell, Cobi Miln, Jeriah Mua, Anton Milnes, Josh Gascoigne tries, Miln two pens, 3 cons, Ōtorohanga 33, Ted Tauroa, Cortez-Lee Ratima 2, Sani Ramuwai, penalty try, Raiki Willison 3 cons, 33.

Sports fund opens Netball update Almost $2 million is being made available in Waikato for communitybased programmes and projects targeting children and young people who are at most risk of missing out or being less active.

The cash comes from NZ’s new fund, Tū Manawa Active Aotearoa.

Money available in the Waikato region over the next 12 months will be managed and distributed on Sport NZ’s behalf by Sport Waikato.

Tū Manawa replaces Sport NZ’s KiwiSport Regional Partnership Fund and now has double the funding available - $68 million over four years, of which half is from the $265 million Sport Recovery Package. Where KiwiSport only focused on organised sport, Tū Manawa will also fund play and active recreation. It also has a distinct assessment process for Kaupapa Maaori organisations.

“We really want Tū Manawa to make

a difference for those missing out, and that means ensuring this funding is supporting programmes and projects operating in local communities, based on the needs of those communities,” says Sport NZ CEO Peter Miskimmin.

“In the first year we have placed special emphasis on those tamariki and rangatahi whose physical activity levels have been impacted most by COVID-19, which we know from our research are girls and young women, disabled people, those in higher deprivation communities and a slightly higher age bracket of young women aged 19 to 24.”

To ensure it reaches these groups, Sport NZ is partnering with the country’s network of 14 Regional Sports Trusts to manage and distribute Tū Manawa, and has allocated funding to them based on both population and deprivation modelling. The priority groups and funding modelling will be reviewed before 30 June 2021 to help

inform the second year of investment.

Sport Waikato’s CEO Matthew Cooper says having $1.85 million available in the Waikato region over the next 12 months is a great opportunity to support those most impacted by COVID-19 by providing opportunities for them to enjoy the benefits of being physically active.

“The Tu Manawa fund is a fantastic opportunity for the likes of active recreation, education, councils and sport organisations to apply for funding in the specific targeted areas and really make a difference in play, active recreation and sport at a community impact level,” says Cooper.

Tū Manawa is available for both new and existing programmes and projects, and funding will be provided for up to 12 months.

Applications for Tū Manawa from within the Waikato region are now open at www.sportwaikato.org.nz.

Leamington Premiers qualified for the seminal of the Cambridge senior netball competition with an excellent 64-33 win over an Hautapu 2.

The Blues played Hautapu Premiers in last night’s semis after this edition went to press.

Hautapu Premiers and unbeaten SPFC Pulse – who were to play NUSC Pulse in the other semi - dominated the round.

Leamington Reserve were beaten last week by 2019 competition winners Hautapu Hawks 31-11. The social team featuring mother and daughter Kellie and Millie Watson beat CHS Pink 37-11.

Waikato awards get a revamp

Sport Waikato has announced new look sports awards in the wake of the Covid-cancellation of the Waikato Regional Sports Awards originally scheduled for next January.

The awards will replace the current district sports awards and the Brian Perry Waikato Regional Awards for the 2020 year and will celebrate nominations from those who have used this year as an opportunity to think differently about how they keep their community active.

The categories are: Community Connection Award: Celebrating those individuals or organisations that have made a significant contribution to sport and active recreation due to any initiative they have created and undertaken.

Sport & Active Recreation Partnership Award: Celebrating partnership and collaboration, where two or more

organisations have come together to put on an event or develop an initiative.

Outstanding Active Space Initiative: Celebrating the unique use of spaces, places and facilities in ways that support increased participation in sport and active recreation.

Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion: Celebrating initiatives that support diversity and inclusion within sport and active recreation.

Service to Sport: Celebrating individual nominees (both paid or volunteer) who have dedicated more than 20 years to sport or active recreation in their community.

People’s Choice Sportsperson.

People’s Choice Sporting or Active Recreation Moment.

Nominations open tomorrow and run to November 30.For more information go to www.sportwaikato.org.nz

Time called on Melody Belle’s Oz campaign Star Kiwi mare Melody Belle (pictured right) is returning home after finishing an inconclusive 11th in Saturday’s Gr.1 Winx Stakes (1400m) after enduring a troubled passage.

While the second-up run failed to provide a true guide as to how the Jamie Richards-trained mare has returned, the 34-strong syndicate that race the dual New Zealand Horse of the Year are keen to enjoy their pride and joy in the flesh as opposed to watching her on TV from afar.

“She’s booked to come home on Sunday,” Fortuna Syndications Director John Galvin said.

“We actually think she’s going quite well, it’s just that her first-up run (when sixth in the Missile Stakes) was her standard first-up run and obviously she had no luck on Saturday.

“She got into a nice spot and then one of the other horses Con Te Partiro came across her and she got shuffled back and then no gaps opened for her at any stage. But she was quite strong to the line.”

The ten-time Group One winner was on a path towards the Gr.1 Empire Rose Stakes (1600m) at Flemington, a race she won last year before finishing second in the Gr.1 Mackinnon Stakes (2000m) but with several logistical hoops to jump through and uncertainties around the Victorian COVID-19 outbreak, Melody Belle is now likely to race in New Zealand through the spring and summer.

“She’s had seven runs over there without greeting the judge and our ownership team back here in New Zealand are quite frustrated because they can’t go to the races and

there’s some nice targets for her here,” Galvin said.

“We thought it’d be better to take the uncertainty out of it, pull the pin on her spring campaign in Australia, bring her back here and aim her at some of the spring and summer targets. If she goes well, we can look at Australia in autumn and look at the All Star Mile and races like that.”

Group One races at Hawke’s Bay including the Gr.1 Windsor Park Plate (1600m) and Gr.1 Livamol Classic

(2040m) could be considered for the mare, who is likely in her final season of racing.

“She’s not nominated but there is a late nomination fee option for her,” Galvin said.

“The first race (Gr.1 Tarzino Trophy, 1400m on September 19) will probably come up a bit early given that she’s got to come home from Australia.

“We haven’t ruled out the last two completely and there’s a couple of nice targets for her later in the year in the Captain Cook Stakes (Gr.1, 1600m) and the Zabeel Classic (Gr.1, 2000m). She hasn’t raced in those races before.

“But Hawkes Bay is still on the radar and we’ll make a decision on that once she gets back and Jamie gets to look at her, he hasn’t seen her since the All Star Mile on March 14.

Everything is on the table.”

Melody Belle was purchased for $57,500 as a yearling at Karaka by Te Akau’s David Ellis and she has won $3.4 million in prizemoney, while the mare will have a residual value in the millions at the end of her racing career.

“I have had an amazing response from the syndicate members about this decision,” Galvin said. “I have been inundated with positive comments with people saying they can’t wait to see her and catch up with all of the crew.

“The money side is not so important. The horse doesn’t owe us anything and the fact that she is racing in Group One races worth $200,000 as opposed to $1 million over there is not the most important factor to the members of the syndicate. We just can’t wait to see her.” – NZ Racing Desk

Straight to Melbourne for Baker-Forsman duo

Murray Baker and Andrew Forsman are bucking the trend and sending Australian-bound gallopers The Chosen One and Quick Thinker directly to Melbourne next week.

The pair will be set on a Cups path and are set to be met by travelling foreperson Aleisha Legg, who is in quarantine in Sydney after being granted a travel exemption by the Australian government.

“Aleisha is in quarantine in Sydney at present and she gets out basically the day the horses arrive in Melbourne, which is Wednesday week,” Forsman said.

“As soon as she gets out of quarantine she will drive straight down to Melbourne and meet the horses at Flemington. She has to jump straight in a rental car and no one else is allowed in the car and she has to make her way directly over the border.”

The Chosen One and Quick Thinker will clash in the Gr.1 Makybe Diva Stakes (1600m) at Flemington on September 12 and follow a

weight-for-age path initially.

“They’re qualified for both the Caulfield and Melbourne Cups, so that is the angle we have to take and I guess a few lead-up runs will tell us where we are at,” Forsman said.

“Especially with Quick Thinker, you never know coming from winning on wet tracks as a three-year-old and making that transition to taking on all-comers at the highest grade.”

Last season’s Gr.1 Australian Derby (2400m) winner has looked plain in

two recent trials, but that is not out of character for the OTI-Racing owned entire.

“He is a colt and he does what he needs to and once he gets up over a bit of ground with blinkers on on raceday it will be a different story. He got left flat-footed at Taupo.”

Five-year-old stallion The Chosen One has pleased in his two trials and the Gr.1 Sydney Cup (3200m) runnerup continues to flourish.

Noted for their ability to produce stayers, Baker and Forsman are unlikely to be

a little bit, having not had an autumn prep,” Forsman said.

“Something would have to jump up and put its hand up pretty quickly in the next few weeks to think about heading over.”

Meanwhile, the Cambridge stable is set to be well represented on the

home front by a pair of promising three-year-olds in Unition and Suffused, which both sport the colours of the China Horse Club.

“At this stage they will both go the Northland Breeders’ Stakes (Gr.3, 1200m) at Te Rapa on Saturday week,” Forsman said. – NZ Racing Desk

Military precision pays off for Neals

A decision to send Military Man north to Alexandra Park’s Level 3 restricted meeting last week paid off for Cambridge trainers Andrew and Lyn Neal.

The husband and wife team were the only trainers outside of the Auckland Super City boundary to record a victory on the night when the four-year-old entire broke maiden ranks in the Smith & Partners Mobile Pace (2200m).

The Neals were pleased to get the win after a number of placings.

“It was well overdue, but he went super,” Lyn Neal said.

“His run two weeks ago had a lot of merit in it, when he sat parked, so that is why we went to all the effort to get him to the races.

“To be fair he just hasn’t had a draw. He hasn’t got a lot of gate speed, so drawing one on Thursday night he could use what he had.”

The Neal’s were unable to attend Thursday’s meeting as a result of Covid-19 Level 3 restrictions in Auckland, so they had to rely on the assistance of a couple of friends.

“John Dickie, who has been a close friend for a long time, rang us in the weekend and said if we had one to send up just send it to him,” Neal said.

“We thought Military Man was probably going to win his next start and it might as well be at Auckland, so we sent him to John’s and it was great that everything panned out.

“I put a stable change through for him on the Monday morning before I nominated him and he went to John’s on Thursday with all his feed and belongings.

“Josh (Dickie) took him to the races for us and luckily he didn’t have a drive in that particular race (so he was able to drive

him).”

Neal said they also had to thank another close friend in Tony Shaw for getting Military Man across the Auckland Super City border.

“You had to have a licensed transporter take him into Auckland and bring him back,” Neal said.

“Tony has always been a good friend and he ran him up specially on Thursday and he was back home in his paddock by lunchtime on Friday.”

While pleased to get the maiden win with Military Man, Neal is feeling a bit frustrated by another stable runner.

Nine-win trotter Credit Master had been destined to head south to Christchurch this spring to contest several feature trot races, however, those plans have now been shelved due to temperament issues.

“I think that run over 2200m (two starts just going to have to keep him up here and back when finishing sixth) really got to him hopefully we will get some races where they and then he went back a couple of weeks are not going to have to be off such big back later and really didn’t want to be there,” marks,” Neal said. – Cambridge Raceway Neal said.

“He had a complete meltdown and was just stressed out about everything, so we put him out for a couple of weeks.

“We have got him on a completely new diet now, something that John Dickie suggested. He is eating great and looks good.

“We will just see what happens, but he is just so difficult.”

While a southern campaign has been ruled out, Neal said their attention has now shifted to several feature northern races over the Christmas-New Year period.

“We were hoping to send him south, but Cambridge Trainer Lyn Neal. Photo: Trish Dunell. his nature is not going to allow it, so we are

Guineas goal for Only Words

Te Awamutu trainer Clint Isdale has stakes goals in mind for smart three-year-old Only Words, an impressive winner at Taupo last week.

Isdale has long had a good opinion of the Sweynesse filly, who raced in strong company as a two-year-old and has improved physically and mentally into the new season.

Her Taupo victory was preceded by a trial win at Rotorua.

The Listed HS Dyke Wanganui Guineas (1200m) on Saturday week is a likely target for Only Words, who covered plenty of ground when winning over

Flavours Super spuds

1100m last week.

“From day one she’s always shown ability,” Isdale said. “She was fourth in her first start in a Listed race and she’s just been a bit mentally fragile and has taken a while to hit her straps.

“There’s been interest in her from Australia but at this stage she’ll more than likely head to the Wanganui Guineas.

“The Northland Breeders’ Stakes (Gr.3, 1200m) at Te Rapa is on the same day but she trialled there, at her second trial, and didn’t like the kick-back so we will head to Whanganui instead.

“People say it was ugly ride but

knowing the horse, she’s better off to be out wide with no horses on her outside.

“I was surprised that after covering that much ground that she showed the turn of foot she did and she still ran about. There’s so much improvement in her.”

The long-range target for Only Words is the Gr.1 Barneswood Farm 48th NZ 1000 Guineas (1600m) at Riccarton on November 14, but Isdale is still weighing up his options with the quirky filly that he part owns on lease.

“The One Thousand Guineas is her grand final but we don’t

know which way we’re going to get there yet, whether we go via the Hawke’s Bay Guineas (Gr.2, 1400m) or whether we freshen her up and go to the Canterbury Belle Stakes (Listed, 1200m) and get down to Christchurch a month earlier because she’s quite a hot filly.”

Isdale and partner Gemma Hewetson are working six horses that are racing and 10 in pretraining.

“Things are going well,” Isdale said. “We had three winners in the space of 10 days and the horses are running well, so let’s hope it continues.” – NZ Racing Desk

Surprisingly, China and India — major rice eating countries — produce almost one third of the world’s potatoes. Up until the 1990s, potatoes were considered to be a cook’s ‘best friend’ in Europe and North America.

The acceptance of spuds not only in Asia but in Africa and Latin America means we can add interest to our meals with stir-fried and curried potatoes and more.

And a hectare of potatoes yields two to four times more food than a hectare of grains and they are up to seven times more efficient in utilising water. Great for the planet!

Although spuds contain 17 per cent carbohydrate per 100 grams (a boiled potato has just 85 kilocalories per 100 grams), they also contain a balanced source of vitamins and minerals including vitamin C, B-group vitamins, antioxidants, potassium, iron, magnesium and protein. They are almost fat-free — unless of course you top them with lashings of butter or sour cream.

But not all potatoes are created equal. Some varieties are best baked or roasted others are great for mashing and several are excellent in potato salads.

Check the packaging for info on what potato is best for your recipe. And if you want about one-third less carbs in your spud, then check out the relatively new ‘lotato.’

POTATO & APPLE GRATIN A lighter version of an old French classic.

2 tablespoons olive oil 1 large onion, thinly sliced 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves 3 medium (400g) baking potatoes 1 large Granny Smith apple 1 tablespoon butter 1 cup cream 3/4 cup milk flaky sea salt to taste Preheat the oven to 180°C. Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan on medium-low. Sauté the onion — stirring occasionally — until soft, about 12

minutes. Add the thyme.

Peel and thinly slice the potatoes. Core and thinly slice the apple. Lightly butter a 1 litre baking dish.

Layer 1/3 of the potatoes in the baking dish. Top with 1/2 the apple slices and 1/2 the onion. Repeat the layers ending with a layer of potato.

Heat the cream, milk and salt together. Pour evenly over the potato mixture. Cover.

Place a baking tray in the oven to catch any drips. Place the baking dish on top. Bake for 45 minutes. Remove the cover and bake for a further 10 minutes or until the top is golden.

Serves 6.

BABY BACON BITES I love these served as nibbles or for adding interest to everyday meals.

12 baby potatoes 4 long rashers streaky bacon, cut into thirds 1 teaspoon each: flaky sea salt, oregano 1/2 teaspoon Chinese five-spice Preheat the oven to 190°C. Line a roasting pan with baking paper.

Wrap each potato in a piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Place in the roasting pan. Bake for 20-30 minutes until the potatoes are tender.

Sprinkle with the salt, oregano and five-spice. Serves 4.

YUMMY SCORED SPUDS Great served with grills or barbecue food.

2 large baking potatoes 25g butter, melted 1/2 teaspoon each: flaky sea salt, Mexican spice 1 cup shredded tasty cheese 2 small rashers bacon, chopped 2-3 tablespoons chopped chives or coriander Preheat the oven to 200°C. Line a roasting pan with baking paper.

Halve the potatoes lengthwise. With the point of a sharp knife, score the potatoes lengthwise at 1cm intervals. Turn the spud at right angles and score again — as you would for a ham. Brush well with the butter. Season.

Place in the roasting pan. Bake for 30 minutes. Top with the cheese and bacon and continue baking until cooked and golden, about 10 minutes. Garnish with chives or coriander.

Serves 4.

School Directory List Years 1-6

Choosing a school The circumstances and situations of students and their parents or caregivers can change during the year.

Schools receive enrolment applications at any time, and while enrolment applications from in-zone students are automatically accepted, out-of-zone applications received outside an advertised pre-enrolment period can’t be accepted unless there are out-of-zone places available and a new ballot is held.

School enrolment zones are in place to stop schools from getting overcrowded – however they’re not in place at every school.

They give children who live in a school zone a guarantee they can attend it.

If you want to enrol you child at a school for which you are not in their zone however, here is the process.

Each year, schools will advertise in your area advising how many out-of-zone places are likely to be available, the closing date for applications for these places and any ballot dates for out-of-zone places.

You can also contact a school at any time to ask about zoning – and you can be sent an enrolment pack which will have important dates.

When it comes to the application process,

acceptance is ranked in order of priority – and first priority must be given to any applicant who is accepted for enrolment in a special programme run by the school.

Other factors – among others - which are considered include applicants being siblings of either a current or former student of the school.

Out-of-zone ballots take place at schools each September – though some primary schools with enrolment zones will hold more than one ballot a year.

When a ballot is held, available places are filled and a waiting list is then created for unsuccessful applicants.

Successful applicants have 14 days to confirm if they accept or reject the offer of a place, and if they don’t respond the place will be offered to the first person on the waiting list. Changes are being made to the Education and Training Act 2020 around the way enrolment schemes are developed and operated. These changes will be in effect from January 1.

To check if a school has an enrolment scheme and whether you live in it, either phone the school – or visit the Education Counts website www.educationcounts.govt.nz

While good test scores can be indicative of a high performance school, they may also be an indication that the school is teaching to the test.

Look into a school’s curriculum and assess whether it is rich, diverse, and suited to your child’s needs and learning style.

Good schools champion great teachers.

Look for schools that provide teachers with mentors and quality support.

Are the teaching staff happy? A positive school environment is defined as a school having appropriate facilities, well-managed classrooms, available school-based health supports and a clear, fair disciplinary policy.

Decisions around which school to enrol your child in is a key decision for parents, one of the major considerations being evaluating the schools in your area to see which option best fits the needs of your child.

The right choice can help shape a child’s learning and future success.

Children can start school between the age of five and six, but they must be enrolled by their sixth birthday and then

Cohort entry allows children to start school before their fifth birthday.

Designed to help schools with their planning, cohort entry is when new entrants start school in groups

throughout the year, at the start of each school term. A smaller school is likely to have a good sense of community and individual attention.

However, due to its smaller size, the curriculum may not be as broad or diverse as a larger school.

Find out what is on offer: which schools have the capacity to make important contributions to your child’s progress, self-esteem and capability?

Some offer more specialisation than others.

Relationships that children build with their friends and teachers are regarded as the most important aspects of school life. Secure, sustained friendships over time are closely linked with feelings of confidence and self worth. An environment that fosters friendliness and acceptance helps children to better adjust to school, and in turn, can enhance their ability to learn.

Previous reports by the Education Review Office have noted a close link between the cultural diversity principle and the inclusion principle.

Can you see the vision?

A school community with a shared vision based on a set of core beliefs and values has an empowering framework for monitoring how well it is doing and whether individual strategies and activities are aligned with the core values.

What drives growth in your school community? Among other factors, none may be as important as school mission statements, which are essential for student development and effective learning.

resources. Vision and mission statements can help keep the school on track with its greater purpose by helping school leaders navigate competing interests.

This is because these express beliefs about what a school community considers most important for its learners so that they will thrive in our diverse communities.

So, does the school have a vision and mission statement that establishes clear expectations and standards?

According to the Ministry of Education, the statement should briefly describes the future the school community sees for itself, and what students who are confident, connected, actively involved, lifelong learners are expected to be like.

Vision and mission statements are often reliable representations of what schools stand for, helping keep the values of the school central to how it operates.

The Ministry believes principles should guide practice by underpinning the way a curriculum is designed and implemented and indicate how students experience it.

Schools need to balance parent interests, the local community, information and misinformation available online, and constant pressures on time and

MAGIC ON THE OVAL

Situated down 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 master bedroom). An extra bedroom or family room is upstairs, along with another hobby room or second living, allowing plenty of options.The main living with a high stud and picture windows overlooking the Oval and to the rear is an awesome place to sit back and relax in a Louver covered north facing patio area. The large quality kitchen and dining was designed with function and practicality, with views to Pirongia. Gas ducted heating in each room along with a gas fire ensure warmth in the winter months.Many words come to mind when wandering through these spaces: Secluded, Quality, Elegance, Functional, Security, Lock up and Leave, would also suit a small family offering privacy with low up keep. This unique location is never to be repeated and should be viewed privately for your own special treat. Call Greg & Raewyn now on 021 043 4555 or 021 161 7247 for that exclusive viewing.

THURSDAY AUGUST 27, 2020

Celebrating singing treasures A tohunga of taonga puoro (singing treasures) has joined Wintec’s School of Media Arts as a researcher and teacher and wants students to take traditional Māori music to new places.

Horomona Horo’s appointment as a researcher in a teaching position is a first for tertiary education in Aotearoa New Zealand.

“Being a taonga puoro researcher connected to Wintec is very special. This role is a first in Aotearoa and it opens many fields,” he said.

“While taonga puoro is grounded in te ao Māori, this doesn’t mean it can’t be fused with modern technology and I want to encourage students to be brave and take it to new places.”

Horo, says there is a sensitivity to traditional Māori music because of the spirituality and connection it has, but this doesn’t mean it shouldn’t evolve into new forms of expression.

“I want to see people break through the stigma. When you are adept in your special field you can connect and evolve music. I want students to explore and go outside the norms with traditional instruments infusing them into different genres like techno, rock and even heavy metal.”

He cites an example of meeting heavy metal band, Alien Weaponry whose songs are in te reo Māori, and talking to them about the potential for taonga puoro

within their sound.

Horo was mentored by tohunga (experts) of taonga puoro, Dr Hirini Melbourne and Richard Nunns and he continues the vision for the renaissance of traditional Māori musical instrument by his mentors.

As a composer, practitioner and cross-genre collaborator, Horo is no stranger to taking traditional music into new places, fusing the traditional instruments of the Māori taonga puoro within a diverse range of cultural, musical and educational forms.

He regularly performs with Hamilton composer, performer and Wintec researcher, Dr Jeremy Mayall combining the sounds of taonga puoro

with electronic soundscapes.

This collaboration has included performances in Boston and New York, a tour and exhibitions in China, as well as commissions for the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, NZ Trio, WOMAD, The Meteor Theatre, and MESH Sculpture Hamilton.

David Sidwell, who heads the music department at Wintec School of Media Arts says it was wise to bring Horo on board as a researcher.

“Horomona is a researcher in his own right and he has been collaborating with other researchers here at Wintec.

Now we have formally engaged him, his Māori world view and his extensive knowledge of taonga puoro,

along with his natural generosity is going to be of great benefit to our music students.

“Horomona has two other part-time roles. As kaiāwhina

he supports and mentors students and is as an events coordinator at Te Kōpū Mānia o Kirikiriroa Marae on the Wintec Hamilton City campus.

Horomona Horo plans to take taonga puoro to new places at Wintec.

GONE FISHIN’

The failing of Facebook

I was involved in a most interesting discussion recently.

The topic this time was about social media and Facebook, but not just about any Facebook page, but in particular New Zealand hunting and fishing pages; and the problems and mistakes that occur on social media when someone posts pics of their biggest snapper, kingfish, marlin, or whatever on a public platform, and the drama and negative feedback that can occur for doing so.

One case in particular, which was of great interest to me, concerned a father proud as punch posting a great pic of his child with what was a very nice snapper indeed. It wasn’t a trophy snapper by any means, but it was a great snapper none the less, and the father and son are happy.

On the fishing page, the father in question

By Ben Carey

post’s his son’s best snapper to date.

People start posting messages of support and congratulating the young bloke, and everyone is happy- how cool is that!!

A few people then ask where he was fishing and what he was using, than a dozen or so people come out of the woodwork and blast the old man for incorrect handling techniques, and even a few posts pop up of how the kid should’ve thrown it back because “they’re breeders”.

A slanging match occurs between those for and against it and personal attacks between members get nasty, and so the page moderators have to get involved to try and settle things down.

All the bloke wanted to do was post a pic of a father and young son enjoying quality time on the water together and then we had everyone getting a big rule book

about fishing etiquette, and 80-90 comments debating about the breeding sizes of snapper and how to treat your catch correctly.

In another instance (but back in October of 2019 mind you) big game fishermen were ordered by the sport’s peak body to stop posting their catches on social media. That came after a hate campaign by animal rights activists left an eight-year-old boy rattled by the barrage of online abuse targeting him and his family after a picture of him catching a 300-odd kg tiger shark went viral.

Another storm in a teacup ultimately ensued about how beautiful and majestic the fish was and how cruel the boy was. To see grown adults nit-pick about the boy’s looks and whatever else took their fancy was really is the lowest of the low if you ask me.

Whilst Facebook still reigns supreme in social media circles here in New Zealand,

you just have to remember it has now given every single Tom, Dick, and Harry in the world the ability to post their thoughts and opinions, or to vent on a social media platform.

They would not have that opportunity in the general media.

As we come up to the end of August and into the beginning of September ,the days are definitely getting longer, and the great run of big spring snapper off Kawhia are not that far away.

Here’s to great spring fishing.
