Don’t forget to put your clocks forward one hour for daylight saving, starting on Sunday.
Race against time By Steph Bell-Jenkins
Time waits for no man, so the saying goes, but as daylight savings kicks in at 2am on Sunday, the Cambridge town clock may be waiting a wee while before an expert arrives to set the correct hour. “We’re just working through the logistics, but at this stage it looks like it might be Monday morning before anyone is available to move the hands of the clock forward an hour to daylight saving time,” said Waipā District Council parks operations team leader Matt Johnston. Adjusting the clock is a specialised skill and no one in the council’s team is trained to do it. “We hire a company to do this, but they’ve got dozens of clocks all around New Zealand to change at the same time, so it’s just a matter of waiting until they are available,” Johnston said. The town clock originally sat atop the Cambridge post office in Victoria St, but was dismantled when cracks appeared during the 1931 earthquake. A new tower was built at its current site and the clock was restarted nearly 86 years ago at 3pm on Friday, October 5, 1934. Johnston said the historic icon was in good condition and an updated maintenance plan to extend its longevity was currently being devised. A submission for Waipā District Council’s long term plan suggests upgrading the clock so that it will not require to be manual times changes or winding. Daylight saving time will begin at 2am Sunday when clocks should be moved forward one hour, and will end at 3am on Sunday, April 24 next year. PICTURED: Waipā District Council parks operator leading hand Mike Tobin carries out routine maintenance on the Cambridge Town Clock ahead of daylight saving.

About 100 teachers, students and dignitaries gathered at Lake Te Kō Utu last Thursday as mana whenua gifted a new name to Te Puna o Kemureti – the Cambridge Community of Learning. The new name is Te Oko Horoi, the traditional name for this area, which dates back to the time of Kingi Tāwhiao, the second Māori King. “We’ve enhanced our relationship with our mana whenua, Ngāti Koroki Kahukura and Ngāti Hauā, and arising from that deepening of trust and understanding is the offer of a gift of our new name,” said Goodwood School principal David Graham, the organisation’s lead principal. “It means ‘the wash bowl’ and it makes reference to the wash bowl of sorrow that King Tāwhiao had called this place during the Māori land court hearings. It’s a very significant name to our mana whenua and a significant act that it’s been gifted to our kāhui ako to continue our work, which includes deepening that relationship and our understanding of culturally responsive practice.” He said the move signified “a trust that schools are growing in their understanding of local history”, which was the latest curriculum area for schools. “This is a great opportunity for our children to learn in an authentic way,” he said. “The kids aren’t learning it from books, we’re actually heading out in buses with mana whenua to learn about these places. The belief is that you learn best in the place, where you get to feel it and understand it and talk to the people whose descendents came from

Alert Level 1. “Although we are now back at Alert Level 1, I strongly urge residents to continue to keep track of their movements using the NZ COVID Tracer app and to maintain good hygiene standards. Residents should also continue to maintain a safe distance from one another while out and about. “These actions are a small price to pay to help prevent any possible outbreaks from occurring in our community. We all have a part to play to keep us all safe.”
I’m sitting typing this in the sunshine and am really starting to feel that Spring is here and Summer is approaching. Daylight savings starts this weekend too, yay! I normally try to be upbeat in this column, but this week I need to address an important issue - Social Media. Specifically, posts that are made and shared publicly, especially on our Cambridge community Facebook pages. There is a saying, ‘if it isn’t on Facebook, did it even happen?!’. I would like to turn that around today and say ‘if it is on Facebook, are you sure it is true and did it really happen?’ Please be very careful about what you post on Facebook and the authenticity of anyone else’s posts you share. If you don’t have first-hand knowledge of a situation, it is often better not to share a post about it at all. Posts about incidents that happen in the community always generate a big response. If it’s a crime being reported, on the one hand, the post can create fear and a feeling of apprehension. It can also lead to speculation about who may have been involved and a flurry of comments from other people who claim to have information about it – sometimes which is completely incorrect. On the other hand, Cambridge being the great community we are, these posts often generate an outpouring of offers of assistance. Whether posting about an incident is appropriate depends on the validity of the information – does the poster have personal knowledge (was present at the time) or are they merely repeating something they heard from their Aunty’s cousin or saw on Facebook somewhere else? I understand our community want to help, but it may potentially be a case of you spreading misinformation. Another side effect is that where we have received no actual calls that match the circumstances given in a post, Police must then spend valuable time identifying and contacting the poster and investigating the validity of the claims made, to ensure the safety of our community and the potential victim. Related to that – Facebook community groups are not the first place to report crimes. Time and time again I read posts about things that have happened. Invariably there is a comment, ‘have you told Police?’ and too often the reply is still ‘Not yet’ or ‘I will be’. Let me stress: If you are unlucky enough to have been the victim of a crime, or witness something suspicious, reporting it to Police should be the first thing you do – either 111 or 105. The sooner we know about it, the more likely we are to be able to obtain essential evidence necessary to identify and arrest the offenders. So that’s my grumble on social media posts. Let’s be sure that we don’t create fear and apprehension unnecessarily nor spread misinformation. Have a good week, Deb

that place.” Formed in 2014, Te Oko Horoi involves all Cambridge schools and some early learning centres, bringing educators together to identify the uniting factors between schools and collaborate on increasing achievement and reducing disparity for all learners. Karaitiana Tamatea, a lecturer in Māori and bilingual education at the University of Waikato and co-chair for Ngāti Koroki Kahukura Trust, also co-chairs the kāhui ako committee with Graham and said the time had come for mana whenua to share their knowledge of local history with Cambridge kura. “For us we’re getting out of the classroom and into the environment to experience what it looks like, feels like and sounds like,” he said. The renaming ceremony last week included karakia, waiata and the story of Te Oko Horoi and its significance by Tamatea and local kaumatua Taiapa Kara.

MPs say nope to dope MPs in an around the News region say they will vote against permitting recreational use of cannabis next month. The referendum is one of two running election day. The News looked at the End of Life Choice Bill a fortnight ago – today we bring an update on the cannabis referendum with views from protagonists and our regular columnists. We asked all MPs in and bordering the News circulation area and those who responded all came back with the same answer. Barbara Kuriger, Louise Upston, Tim van de Molen, David Bennett, Tim Macindoe and Jamie Strange will vote no. Early polls suggested the referendum would be close, but it appears the level of opposition has been on a
Louise Upston
steady rise for several months. In stark contrast to the End of Life Choice debate, the cannabis referendum has lacked a high-profile support base – and to a degree, given recreational use is illegal, that may not be regarded as surprising. Canada, Uruguay and South Africa have legalised reactional use of cannabis and it has been decriminalised in some states in the United States, and Australia, most of South and Central America and several European countries. Medicinal use of cannabis is legal in Australia and New Zealand. The cannabis referendum is not a binding in the usual sense, because legislation has not been through the parliamentary process. Louise Upston said it was a polarising issue. “The feedback that I have been receiving through my regular surveys suggest that the people of the Taupo Electorate are significantly against legalising the use, possession and sale of recreational cannabis by a 62.5% against versus 23.16% majority. She said she had been
approached by organisations lobbying for and against legalising recreational cannabis and had heard compelling arguments from each side. “Like all my National Caucus colleagues, I voted against the bill so would not continue to support it. If in the end more than 50 percent of the nation voted in favour of the Bill, and it ended up proceeding through the first reading and select committee stages of the parliamentary process, it would go back to public consultation and I’m looking forward to resuming the conversation with the people then. “The more significant concern I have right now is the lack of ability for people to learn, debate and discuss the referendum because of continued restrictions at alert level 2. This referendum has long term impacts on our communities and country and deserve the full and informed consideration of voters.” Polls which have indicated a growing opposition to the referendum were reflected in Waikato MP Tim van de Molen’s survey in his electorate which came out 85 per cent opposed.
“This aligns with the verbal feedback I’m receiving from regular engagement with my constituents,” he said. “It is my personal view that legalising marijuana would not be in the best interests of New Zealanders. One of my key concerns is the health and safety implications for the workplace and on our roads – we already see more people killed by drug driving, than drunk driving each year. I am also very concerned about the social impacts that legalisation will have on our society, and the health implications for our youth, particularly their developing minds. “Without the existence of an appropriate testing regime, I do not have confidence that these concerns can be rectified.” Taranaki-King Country MP Barbara Kuriger said she favoured medicinal cannabis but opposed recreational cannabis use. “I worry most about the effect that it has on the development of young people’s brains up to the age of 25. I also have concerns about health and safety in the workplace and road safety.” Both her Hamilton National colleagues and Labour’s Jamie
Barbara Kuriger
Strange are also opposed. “I believe there is no need to create another legal drug, especially cannabis,” David Bennett said. “There are too many young people who lose much of their potential in life by taking drugs and there is no need for another available drug.” Jamie Strange said “I will be voting against. I support the use of cannabis for medicinal purposes, but not recreational.” Our team of columnists have their say on the issue on pages 10 and 11 and we also have a column from the anti-cannabis lobby group SAM on page. The News did not receive a response from pro-cannabis lobby group Norml who were also asked to provide a column.
New faces for candidates’ meeting By Viv Posselt
Cambridge residents will have a chance to direct questions to politicians when Party representatives come to town for a candidates’ meeting on October 1. The meeting has been organised by Cambridge Grey Power and will be held at St Andrew’s Church hall from 5.30pm. Cambridge Grey Power president Val Massey said the organisation had a long history of arranging such meetings before both local body and national elections. Attending politicians will include Labour candidates Kerrin Leoni (Waikato) and Ala’ Al-Bustanji (Taupō), National MP for Hamilton West Tim Macindoe, ACT’s candidate for Taupō David Freeman, Greens candidate for Hamilton East Rimu Bhooi and Advance NZ Party
candidate for Taupō Antoinette James. Kerrin Leoni holds a double masters in youth development and international politics and economics. She returned to New Zealand five years ago after a decade in the UK, and is working as a national funding manager and property investor. Rural economic development and diversification based on sustainability is one of her key concerns, as is offering alternative options for first time homeowners. Businessman turned corrections officer, Ala’ Al-Bustanji, said the top priority now is the post Covid-19 economic recovery. The focus of his address will be on Labour’s “strong plan to invest in our people, create jobs, invest in our health services, our environment and support our businesses”.
National’s MP for Hamilton West, Tim Macindoe, is a former deputy principal at St Peter’s School in Cambridge. He will represent his colleague, Taupō MP Louise Upston at the meeting and said he will focus on National’s policies to promote economic recovery, jobs and the delivery of important services and social investment. Former soldier David Freeman runs his own logistics business, using skills he garnered in the military and during time spent in Afghanistan as a civilian. He believes ACT’s policies offer the “best way forward” for New Zealand, and said: “I suffer from PTSD and their policy for mental health is the best I have seen. Another area of concern is employment and wages.” Student and activist Rimu Bhooi said she is running for the Greens to
better represent the “lifelong renters, struggling students and the people rising up to fight the status quo”. She said she has experienced “the broken systems … and had to fight to access the basics”. Advance NZ candidate Antoinette James has a medical background, having worked in microbiology laboratories in both the UK and New Zealand, and heading the drug testing division in Auckland School of Medicine’s cancer research department. She went on to question the education system, and later undertook two years of geo-political research, writing a 2019 book entitled ‘We Are Revolting”. Her address will focus on what she sees as New Zealanders’ choice to be a “sovereign independent country where they decide its future, or a globalised United Nations-governed country”

Church leader’s miracle escape By Roy Pilott
News columnist and Bridges Church leader Murray Smith is set for surgery tomorrow and thanking his daughter Tiffany after surviving a serious road crash. Murray, with his daughter as a pillion, was hit by a car on Browning St early on Saturday afternoon as they headed out for a ride on his Triumph motorbike to Karapiro. The pair skidded about 30 metres, with Murray taking the brunt of the impact. He landed on his back and suffered 12 fractured ribs, a fractured right shoulder blade
and fractured left hand. Tiffany, who escaped serious injury, got up to find her dad struggling to breathe – one of the broken ribs had punctured his lung and it had collapsed. The recently qualified registered nurse based in Tauranga put him in a recovery position - enabling his good lung to work while an ambulance arrived to take him to Waikato Hospital. He will have a plate inserted in his hand tomorrow as it is broken in three places. Murray’s wife Michelle said it was a miracle that he survived the crash. “We are totally thanking
God because this could, and according to the doctors should, have been far worse,” she said. “The doctors say he will bounce back because he is so fit and healthy.” So too, it seems, will Murray’s Triumph. “It’s a big heavy bike and apart from damage from the skid it looks OK,” Michelle said. Murray was still thinking of his weekly column for the News when he sent a text from his hospital bed on Tuesday. He has volunteered a replacement columnist while his body heals. Look out for Michelle Smith’s column in the News next week. Murray Smith pictured shortly before thec rash.
An early battle won
Battle of the Bridges organiser Mark Nogaj has celebrated a Battle of the Bridges win days ahead of the first game. The Government’s decision to ease Covid restrictions has opened the way for Waipā residents to gather in force on Saturday at Memorial Park for the annual inter-town challenge. For weeks, sporting events – including club rugby finals for both Hautapu and Leamington – have been played under Covid restrictions – which limited crowed numbers. The day wlll start with netball at 12.30 – and 30 minutes later Cambridge will take on Te Awamutu in a Stan Meads Cup sub-union battle. A women’s rugby tournament will also
feature at the grounds during the day. The day will see Hautapu and Leamington open interclub rugby proceedings in a ‘legends” – code for veteran – game for a new trophy. The boasting rights will come with the “Bullshirt” trophy. The main game between the two Cambridge clubs starts at 2.30 and will feature a women’s tug of war contest between Hautapu and Leamington refereed by Olympian Sarah Ulmer at half time. The annual Battle of the Bridge was brought back to Cambridge in 2013, after a hiatus which began in the 1990s. It is also a one off battle for the two rugby clubs in the town, whose top teams do not play in the same division in Waikato club rugby.

Cambridge eight-year-old Ethan Becker loves feasting on lemonades from his grandmother’s garden and this year he’s hoping to harvest some luscious bounty from his very own fruit and vegetable patch. Ethan’s mother Liz and father Scott have built him and his younger sisters Ayla (6) and Willa (2) a new garden bed this year in an attempt to get them enthused about growing their own food. The youngsters are among thousands around the country being attracted to gardening by commercial promotions run by New World and Yates. “I like the idea of gardening and want to be able to garden because my mum grows the most amazing things, but I just find it really difficult because of the time involved I guess – and because you have to remember to water your plants and tend to them,” Liz said. However, placing the garden bed close to the house had already prompted the kids to head out regularly with their watering cans. “I didn’t know if they would, especially Ayla, who has Angelman syndrome and has difficulty with her fine motor skills,” Liz said. “That’s the first time I’ve actually seen her accomplish that, so it’s a real bonus for her learning a new life skill.” The Becker children have already planted strawberries and seedlings gifted by a family friend and carrot seeds from their grandmother, and Liz plans to add tomatoes and lettuces. “We had one tomato plant last year that did really well and that’s the first success I’ve had, so that’s probably spurred me on,” she said. Liz has noticed her children tend to eat more fruit and vegetables when they can pick them directly from their grandmother and aunty’s gardens. “It’s not a forced thing at the dinner table, which is what I really love,” she said. “And it’s definitely nice to have something you can do at home in your own space as a family. It
gets them outside doing things and it’s totally good for the soul.” Other parents keen to get their children into gardening are being offered a helping hand from Yates and New World. Yates has released a new range of seeds just for children, including “pop star strawberry popcorn”, a “really special, old-fashioned type of corn that grows cute little cobs shaped like ruby-red strawberries” and “Little Ted fluffy sunflowers”, a “short-growing sunflower with super fluffy pompom flowers”. The move comes ahead of National Gardening Week, running from October 19-26. New World supermarkets re-launched their popular Little Garden promotion on September 7 after a three-year hiatus.
Customers receive a free seedling kit containing a fibre pottle, soil tablet, seed mat and character sticker with every $40 they spend. There are 24 different vegetable, herb and flower seeds available, including Baron von Basil, Tamaiti Tomato and Polly Pansy. New World Cambridge. owner operator of Logan McKenzie said his store is also donating six gardens to schools in the community, with the aim of “teaching the importance of getting offline and outside”. In the run up to National Gardening Week, Cambridge News has three sets of kids’ seeds to give away from Yates. To be in to win, send your name and address to editor@goodlocal.nz – and remember to put the word Seeds Draw in the subject line.
Ayla, Willa and Ethan Becker sink a strawberry plant into their new garden.
The Give It Back Trust was created to do exactly that

Rob, Lee, Tania, Jono & David are passionate about Cambridge and appreciate that what makes our community great is the level of community participation. To encourage involvement in our community the Give It Back Charitable Trust was formed to recognise our unsung heroes and volunteers and provide financial support to our Cambridge community to ensure we continue to have a caring and vibrant Cambridge.

Racing will help recovery - Peters

The racing industry is well-placed to support the nation’s post Covid-19 economic recovery, says New Zealand First leader and Racing Minister Winston Peters. He said opportunities within the $1.6 billion industry are “staring us in the face” to aid in New Zealand’s economic recovery. “It has export potential we can expand … we could be the best in the world. We grow the best grass in the world, we have young people ready and able to do the job. It is all there.” The Deputy Prime Minister’s regional bus tour rolled into Cambridge at short notice last week. It made a brief stop at the Cambridge Trotting Club, where Mr Peters spoke to a crowd of around 60 before inspecting the $13 million all-weather track due for completion within months. He said it was the provinces that had kept New Zealand wealthy all these years, and they were the country’s only hope now. Referring to the record 12.2 percent fall in GDP in the June quarter GDP, announced by Statistics New Zealand the day prior, as a “deadly serious issue”, he said: “We’re now in a campaign where some people are throwing money around like an eight-armed octopus, with no real thought to what they are doing”. A $72.5 million emergency support package announced several months ago and intended to stimulate a recovery in the racing industry, was particularly critical now, he said. “This has as much potential as any industry I know, but it
needs wise government policy … and we don’t want people running the industry who don’t know what the industry is about.” Racing commentator George Simon acknowledged Mr Peters’ support for racing and asked what would happen if New Zealand First was not part of the next government. “Where are we going to get that support at influential government level from parties who have previously not shown interest [in the racing industry]?” Mr Peters said he was not worried about the election but hoped supporters would ensure he was still around. The biggest concern now, he added, was to embed reforms made under the new Racing Industry Act. Pressed further about the polls, he said New Zealand First “would not be selling the racing industry down the drain. We never have, we never will.” Rationalising the industry makes sense, he said. “We have got to have rationalisation … we have so many racecourses in this country. Having said that, we have to make sure we have a facility in every province.” Florence Shearman, who has for years advocated for Cambridge’s seniors, told Mr Peters many among the town’s ageing population were impacted by the decision to take racing off the radio. He expressed concern, and said that while he had no immediate answer, he did not think it would be too difficult or too costly to bring it back. Ms Shearman also invited Mr Peters to attend next month’s Global Walk for the Aged, to be held at Cambridge Raceway.
Montessori on the move By Steph Bell-Jenkins
Almost 20 years to the day that Cambridge Montessori Pre-School opened in Raleigh St, the early learning centre is moving to merge with its sister school in Taylor St. “We launched here in term four 2000 and we’re wrapping up on the last day of term three 2020,” said owner Helen Aston, who is sad to be leaving a building that has been “such a big part of the community”. Raleigh St centre staff children put on a concert for their parents to celebrate the end of an era last Wednesday, performing several musical numbers. “We’re now looking forward to welcoming our Raleigh St Cambridge Montessori Pre-School students (from left) Hadley Curtin, Henry students to Taylor St and we’re Gibb, AND Kacey Lochead celebrate the end of an era with a concert last excited about the future,” Aston Friday. said.

It means that people in the community may have to be flexible over when they use the facility, but because we’re a seven-day week operation, we can work around those requirements.” The Avantidrome has become a wellLot 55 Kotare Downs

Avantidrome general manager Scott Gemmill is a combination of grateful and excited at the way the facility has adapted to Covid-19. Grateful because of the understanding shown by groups whose events hit the wall, outfits he considers partners in the operation, and excited at the willingness of others to look at the venue through an innovative lens. Covid has tested the Cambridge indoor cycling venue’s ability to diversify. “We’ve been able to pivot, thanks largely to the efforts of Cycling New Zealand event director Janette Douglas and her team. They made the calls early enough to mitigate the risk,” said Scott. “Yes, we lost a number of events, and there was widespread impact while we were closed for 53 days during level four and three. But Cambridge has been fantastic at wrapping its arms around us.” Janette said her team prepares for most eventualities, but Covid-19 was different. “As with many in the events industry, we had a number of contingencies in place for likely scenarios, however Covid-19 has meant we have had to adapt to the new reality we all face. “We took guidance and created our own processes around managing it while supporting the intent of the government guidelines and the national health response. This provided our stakeholders, such as the Avantidrome, the confidence in our decisionmaking process.” Last year, the Avantidrome hosted five major national events and two international events. Scott said no international events were on the 2020 schedule, “so we lucked

established venue across Waipā, home to a range of training or activities across numerous different codes, including cycling, crossfit, rowing, javelin throwing and more. That sort of flexibility is the way of the future, said Scott. “We’ve become a wellness hub in a way. Some unusual requests have come our way from like-minded groups looking for a venue,” Scott said. At first glance, some might seem a bizarre fit for the Avantidrome, he added, citing national bobsleigh ambitions, a request to fill the infield with snow, and another for an orchestral performance. The more nimble approach has resulted in a novel event set down for October 31/ November 1 – the Track Ashes. It will pit Waikato and Auckland riders in a challenge set to generate what Scott calls a “bit of provincial pride”. The winners will receive a cup being fashioned by woodturners out of the leftover timber used to build the facility’s 250m track. “It’s about being innovative in protecting our revenue stream, while meeting the needs of a wider variety of users.” Intergenerational user numbers are also building, with many juniors acting as unwitting ambassadors and persuading senior family members to ride. Even as he hopes for a return to normality, there remains a residual impact, mostly on national events, and Scott has applied a parthandbrake to the recently-reopened Trikes Programme, primarily because it’s a close contact environment. “We are being very deliberate in ensuring that safety is a number one priority in everything we do. Covid-19 isn’t going away fast … we have to look to a future where we adapt our operation around it.”

THE AGE OF REASON
Do your homework before you vote By Peter Carr
I am not usually pleased to having a national referendum thrust upon me – it smacks of poor governance by the parliament and a gutless approach by possibly overpaid elected politicians. Nevertheless we are being cajoled (perhaps even driven) towards ensuring that the members of parliament have an escape hatch whichever way the vote goes. Also note you will not know the result immediately after election day but some way down track later in October. A quarter of a century ago a respected journalist wrote an editorial in which he purported that “marijuana, in thousands of households, is no more a remarkable social lubricant than cold beer”. Further he recently observed that those countries that have legalised the purchase and consumption of cannabis have not experienced marked increase in the quantity - or type - of use of the drug. So….where in the age spectrum do we envisage (fresh) uptake or increased use should the October referendum permit progress with the Cannabis Legislation and Control Bill? Will we perceive the younger ones confessing to a “ho-hum” dogma while those of more than three score years and ten career wildly in an uncontrolled fashion with Formula One type speed (no pun) challenges on their flag-bedecked 4-wheel scooters? Will all and sundry have to be aware that these drug-induced new-born hippies will be challenging the wider community to a duel of baguettes in the bakery section of the supermarket? And who will have the capability to decide sensibly as to whether cannabis is really a medicine (which has already been construed as so) or an opportunity to run around glassy-eyed and giggling making whoopee cushion noises and becoming a general nuisance? Certainly not the 120 temporary residents of that large building in
Wellington. The number of submissions to any proposed Bill that may eventuate post-referendum will be staggering. I imagine my fellow retirement village residents will have mixed views. Will Grandma want to be ‘stoned’ as the grandchildren arrive for their infrequent visit? Will it be setting a good example to those of more tender years? Perhaps for some – especially those more attuned to affording a pleasing relaxed attitude bridging the gap between retirement and the eventual audience with the Grim Reaper. And where in this discussion is lung inhalinginduced ‘pleasure’ placed alongside society’s efforts to reduce smoking due to its harmful effects? Watch this space – but before you tick your preferred box in October please obtain the maximum education you can. The internet is full of the stuff and you have a right to be well informed pre-vote. The mumblings of your local electoral candidates should be listened to - if only to ascertain the difference between deep thought practical knowledge and party policy drivel. While some of the forgoing may appear to be frivolous it is important to note that a 50%+ vote in favour will permit the next government (regardless of party colour) to prepare a bill for moving through the parliamentary system. The bill will restrict itself to recreational or pleasure use of the drug. This will have nothing to do with medicinal use - that is already permitted . The Bill, should it emerge, will target suppliers, retailers and users alike. In summary – caveat is the watchword next month.
NO PLANET B
It’s a yes from me By Peter Matthews
Cannabis. Should we make it legal or not? I say we because we are shortly going to vote on the issue and that vote will determine the answer to the question. So it is very much we who will decide whether or not cannabis should be made legal. I have been trying to come up with an argument, either way, which has not been thoroughly aired and shaken out already. However I don't think there are any so we'll have to go over some old ones. Those in favour of legalisation raise points like; cannabis is in widespread use already; prohibition in the US was a total failure; the government may as well tax it; it is claimed that cannabis has medicinal benefits; if alcohol and tobacco are legal why not cannabis? All of these angles can be argued convincingly. Those against legalisation state that cannabis is harmful, it is claimed that cannabis has damaging effects on the human nervous system, causes long term memory and thought processing problems, and it is a known carcinogen. There are claims that cannabis can be, or indeed is, a gateway drug - itself easy to obtain and use but leading to the use of other more addictive and harmful drugs. Again, these views are easy to argue without too much fear of a slam dunk defeat from the opposing side, since there is a lot of evidence to support them. So it comes down to personal views, emotions, and prejudice. By that I mean that many people already have
a position on the matter and are unlikely to change it based upon anything they read or hear in the run up to the election and its associated referenda. There is one argument which I have left out so far. It is not a new one but it is, to my mind, the most important: If you take the 'illegal' out of cannabis production, distribution, and use - you make it a whole lot less attractive to certain of the elements of society who seek to profit from it. Of course there is nothing wrong with attempting to profit from a free market, but using lethal force to protect a plantation, or standover tactics or even violence or the threat of it to protect a distribution patch starts to look decidedly dodgy. And since it is currently illegal there is no regulation of any aspect of the supply chain thereby leaving it all open to, shall we say, less scrupulous, operators than might be desirable. I think, and I believe I have good reason to think, that if you take the illegal out you will also take the criminals out. And with the criminals out the world - or at least our small part of it - will be a safer place. Many of us have seen it happen before as a result of the Prostitution Reform Act 2003. Therefore, whether or not I have any intention of using it myself, on that argument alone I will be voting for the legalisation of cannabis.

COMMENT
Huge consequences with stroke of pen Why we can’t legalise it By Aaron Ironside, Campaign Spokesperson, Saynopetodope
By Murray Smith, Senior Leader, Bridges Church
“Do you support the proposed Cannabis Legalisation and Control Bill ?” Yes or no? That’s a question New Zealanders will be asked in a referendum when voting on Octobe 17. It’s important to understand what we would be opening the floodgate to by supporting this bill. Medicinal cannabis is not included in the proposed law change that will be voted on in this referendum. Existing law already provides for medicinal cannabis products and from April 1, 2020 a scheme began to increase its accessibility (and affordability). This Bill proposes that recreational use of cannabis should become legal, allowing New Zealanders to possess and consume cannabis under what is being touted as “controlled” provisions. So called cannabis ‘control’ would provide for a person aged 20 years or over to purchase, possess up to 40 joints per day… to enter licensed premises where cannabis is sold or consumed. Other provisions include limiting plants to four per household, limiting the trading hours for premises where cannabis is consumed or sold, plus limiting the potency (THC levels). Does this really sound like ‘control’ to you? And just how practically could these intended regulatory provisions ever be effectively implemented and monitored!? No specific measures have been presented around road safety, workplace safety, health risks for pregnant mums.The stated intention of the Bill is to limit the visibility and amount of cannabis available, restrict young people’s access and improve support for families by way of health and social services. Enacting similar legislation overseas has invariably increased cannabis use - not restrained it. This Bill argues against itself in so many ways. It is utterly illogical to open the door
wide, approving a cannabis culture where marijuana products can be smoked, eaten, vaped, or used as lotions and infusions, and then having enabled it, suggesting feeble management proposals to deal with fallout from the very issues it has created! Of course road safety issues will have to be addressed…of course (predictably) a plan for increased mental health and social services should be anticipated as a direct result of exchanging existing controls for legalised cannabis in our communities. Demand for social services will skyrocket. We’re better than this foolish nonsense. What a mockery it makes of our “Smokefree 2025” goal and the physical health of New Zealanders. You cannot legalise cannabis and promote physical or mental health.. Please watch this young man’s story - his experience indicative of so many others. http://youtu.be/ UwTdRzvSWCU Voting “no” will handbrake the process of cannabis being legalised for recreational use, thereby sparing countless families and individuals grievous harm. Commenting on resisting marijuana legalisation, Professor Bertha K. Madras at Harvard Medical School Department of Psychiatry stated, “This is not a war on drugs: it is a defence of our brains…” Hopefully the majority of voters in this referendum will be clear-headed enough to oppose the stupidity of this Bill.
Saynopetodope is a collection of 25 organisations and individuals who have firsthand experience of the effects of cannabis use both personally and in their professional work. Our group has complied a report from over 250 University and Government studies reviewed by academics at Harvard and John Hopkins Universities. The international evidence shows that legalising cannabis does not reduce harm, because total cannabis use increases along with the negative outcomes for the individual and community. We do not believe ordinary people should be thrown in jail for smoking a joint. New Zealand already has a soft decriminalisation, with police taking a health approach to personal use. The Misuse of Drugs act was amended last year to instruct Police to focus their energy on those who grow and sell cannabis. Less than 1000 of the 600,000 cannabis users received a conviction for cannabis possession last year. Conviction rates have decreased 70% in the past two decades. The Black Market remains strong in legal jurisdictions, accounting for around 70% of sales, and is in active competition with the legal market. Both markets actively seek new customers, and the most valuable customer is a daily user. The result is an increase in the total cannabis market. BERL predicts New Zealand will have 419 cannabis shops under the new law - more than McDonalds, Burger King and KFC combined. With increased sales comes increased use, often among 15-25-year olds. Canada’s Federal study noted a 2% increase in 12 month use among 16-19-year olds in the year following legalisation. California recently reported that 29% of 18-25-year olds use cannabis, and 40% of that group are underage
users. Teenage users are four times more likely to develop Cannabis Use Disorder and develop severe mental health issues like psychosis and anxiety. The cannabis related teen suicide rate in Colorado is seven times the national average. Cannabis is now ten times stronger than in the 1970’s. Woodstock weed was only 3% THC, but most Cannabis plants available today are closer to 30%THC. The legal market will be restricted to 15%THC, however this has helps strengthen the black market, as they offer high THC products at lower price. This high potency product destroys lives. More than a plant, cannabis products now include a wide range of vape and edible alternatives. Police recently commented that this empowers the gangs to specialise in these products. Cannabis shops typically open in lowincome communities, taking money from vulnerable families. We are concerned the commercial interests are the wrong reason to legalise. This referendum is about recreational cannabis. Medicinal use is already legal. We want to improve that law and access for patients through medical channels. The New Zealand Medical Association opposes legalisation of recreational cannabis. New Zealand is not ready for this new industry. Roadside and workplace impairment testing is not yet available. We want improved health and education strategies without a law change. The current approach is far from perfect, but the alternative being offered opens Pandora’s box. Recreational cannabis is just too risky for our young and vulnerable.

Luca: the talk of the town
By Steph Bell-Jenkins
An impassioned talk about how technology can better our world saw Luca Macrides take out the top prize at the Rotary Cambridge Primary Schools’ Speech Contest last week. The year eight St Peter’s Catholic School student joined 21 other top orators to present their speeches to judges Murray Feast, David Blewden and Lyndsay Mason at the Cambridge East School hall. Second place went to year eight Cambridge Middle School student Jack Stokes, who described the pitfalls and perks of being 1.85m tall at only 13 years old, which included being able to effortlessly pluck lollies from his mother’s secret hiding place on the top shelf. At the other end of the physical stature scale, third place getter Sienna Long from Tauwhare School opened her speech on “the gift of the gab” with a candid declaration of her unsuitability for sports such as basketball. Her oratory prowess proved height isn’t everything. Hautapu School student Ellie Harfoot’s mastery of fart jokes and delightful delivery on the topic “my body is an instrument”, won her most humorous speech on a night where laughs came thick and fast. Roto-o-Rangi student Ryan Littlejohn picked up the junior

commendation with his talk on Dr Seuss and most original idea went to Horahora School pupil Joel Johannes – aka Joel Grylls – who taught the audience how to fashion a parachute from a blanket and purify water by filtering it through a sock filled with charcoal and grass. Cambridge Primary School student Katie Hepi-Hagan took home the special judges’ award for her speech on “your superpower”. The contest was run by the Rotary Club of Cambridge and organised by director of youth programmes, John Bullick, who said the standard of speeches had improved noticeably over recent years. “Particularly on Wednesday night, there was a consistent standard and the judges said the job was difficult,” he said. “To come up through their own school and win their finals there and to come on and confidently do well at the inter-schools, I’m very proud of what the kids did. They did a superb job.”

Trucking family donates an ambulance A Cambridge family behind the bulk haulage and logistics company, Regal Group, has donated a new ambulance to St John. A ceremony was held at the St John Cambridge ambulance station last Friday to dedicate the frontline generation four emergency ambulance gifted by Rob and Wendy McHardie, as well as the radio and mobile data unit donated by their children, Scott, Glenn, Brett and Debbie. The new vehicle is fully equipped with lifesaving equipment and has features including advanced driving aids which offers both ambulance officers and patients increased safety and security. Having owned and operated their company for six decades, with over a hundred trucks on the road, Rob and Wendy’s company has experienced several road incidents that St John has responded to over the years, and they decided they were now in a position to do something in return for St John and the community. “In business unfortunately there are accidents, especially in road transport; some
serious. St John has always been there to help us and others in our time of need, always doing a great job,” says Rob, who was seriously injured in a traffic incident involving his car and a truck in the early 1990s. “I don’t remember too much but a St John ambulance showed up and took me to hospital. The paramedic kept me focussed and they provided excellent care. I couldn’t have asked for anything better,” he says. “This is our gift and we hope the new ambulance
serves St John and others the community for many years to come.” St John Central Region General Manager Andrew Boyd says the support of families like the McHardie’s is vital to the delivery of emergency ambulance services. “St John is incredibly grateful for the generosity of Rob, Wendy and their children. As a charity, St John relies on the support of the public, and donations of new ambulances and lifesaving equipment enables us to provide Cambridge
and the surrounding communities with the best possible care.” St John provides emergency ambulance services to 90% of New Zealanders and covers 97% of the country’s geographical area. With more than 540,000 calls into its 111 Ambulance Communications centres and almost 500,000 patients treated and/or transported to hospital over the past year, St John ambulance officers are at the frontline of emergency health services.
Rob And Wendy McHardie (centre) and their family have presented St John with a new ambulance.

Colour Worx gets creative with fibre
Cambridge’s award-winning spinner and weaver Cynthia Read was chosen as the selector for this year’s Te Awamutu Creative Fibre exhibition being held in Te Awamutu’s Burchell Pavilion. ‘Colour Worx”, will be at the pavilion adjacent to the Te Awamutu i-SITE offices, from 10am to 4pm from next Wednesday to October 4. It will feature about 140 works made by Creative Fibre Te Awamutu members, including weavers, spinners, knitters, crocheters, felters and dyers. Among the items are blankets and shawls, clothing, cushions, toys, decorative works and books,
as well as a few pieces never seen here before. Most of the work being exhibited will be for sale. All have gone through a selection process done this year by invited selector Cynthia Read. The Cambridge spinner and weaver made the shawl gifted to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on the birth of their first child, Prince George. She spun the New Zealand merino wool and knitted the lace shawl. A People’s Choice Award will be made on the last day of the exhibition. The four categories are colour and design, natural fibre, first-time entry and

new skills. A ticket on each item will tell its story, allowing exhibition visitors to learn something about its construction and the material used. The group’s co-ordinator Kathy Mitchell said there was a higher-than-usual number of entries in the new skills category and attributed that in part to the Covid-19 lockdown that saw many members try new ideas. Annette Whittle, who handles the group’s educational side and keeps the database up to date, said Te Awamutu Creative Fibre began around the same time the New Zealand Spinning, Weaving and
Woolcrafts Society started some 50 years ago. All groups belong to the national body, but operate autonomously within their regions and towns, organising their own activities, including exhibitions, spin-ins and workshops. Te Awamutu falls under the Waikato, where there are about 13 active groups. She said exhibitions such as these were important as they were often the starting point for people who wanted to go through the ranked grading system set out to exhibit their work. “And because the selectors give feedback, it is a much-valued learning platform.”

REVIEW
The show did go on…
The Pink Hammer by Michelle Amas, directed for Cambridge Repertory Society by Chrissy Hodkinson at the Gaslight Theatre 12 – 26 September 2020 reviewed by Nancy Davies Again, Cambridge Repertory has staged a very enjoyable production leaving an appreciative audience with smiles on their faces. This New Zealand comedy has few characters and a simple storyline but also exposes the insecurities every person hides from public view. All of the characters, four would-be DIY women and one extremely reluctant tutor were so believable I am expecting to see any one of them down the street anytime soon. While this production had a long incubation period, blame Covid - 19, director Chrissy Hodkinson, the actors and the trusty behind the scenes crew persevered hoping that one day this play would make it to the stage. Congratulations to Cambridge Repertory for not abandoning this project and making stage starved people very happy!

Council gets more thumbs up
More Waipā residents say they are satisfied with their Council’s performance – but it still struggles to convince it is giving value for money. Each year Waipā District Council checks in with residents on how Council is going and where improvements could be made. The survey measures satisfaction with Council’s facilities and services, and evaluates public perceptions around reputation, trust, leadership and financial decision making. Council also benchmarks itself with 18 other Councils nationwide who use the same surveying framework. Waipā’s reputation overall sits well above average compared to other councils. Chief executive Garry Dyet (pictured) said he was pleased to see a five per cent improvement on Council’s performance, which sits at 40 per cent, up from 35 per cent last year. “Perceptions around leadership, trust, Council’s competency and ability to achieve good outcomes for the district, and Council working in the best interests of the community have also seen an improvement, and that says we’re heading in the right direction.”
Seventy per cent of respondents are proud of the district, with the highest levels in Cambridge (77 per cent) and Pirongia (75 per cent), on par with 2019 and 2018. “However, we know value for money heavily influences perceptions around Council’s performance, and while this has increased slightly by three per cent this year, it continues to remain low compared to other metrics at only 25 per cent,” he said. “It’s similar across other councils but remains an area we need to focus on. You get a whole heap of services bundled into your annual rates - roading, water, wastewater, parks, cycleways, libraries - the list goes on. “No one likes to pay rates or taxes, but the value a ratepayer derives from their rates compares well when lined up alongside other utility bills like power and energy. “So we’ve got some work to do to help residents understand what they’re paying for and what they’re getting in return,” Dyet said. The overall average district reputation score is 80. At individual ward level, Cambridge sits at 89, Pirongia at 82, Te Awamutu at 76, Maungatautari at 71, and
Kakepuku at 65. The resident perceptions survey is carried out quarterly over the course of the financial year (1 July – 30 June). All data is collated after the final quarter and measured against performance over the previous three years. Over this time, performance has decreased the most in services, facilities and infrastructure. This was worst in quarters two and three, but bounced back in quarter four, so is unlikely a result of the COVID-19 lockdown. Satisfaction with museums and swimming pools saw a drop, largely due to the temporary closure of the Cambridge Pool while the new facility is built, and the long-anticipated wait for Te Ara Wai, a new museum in Te Awamutu. Being transparent also remains an area of focus with only 39 per cent of residents saying they are satisfied. “This feedback is important to us as we work through the next stages of our long term planning for the district and work alongside residents to set the direction for Waipā for the next 10 years,” Dyet added. 516 responses were collected over the 2019/2020 financial year which provides an acceptable level of confidence. The full report is available on Council’s website at www.waipadc.govt.nz

Women end season with win over champions The measure of improvement by Cambridge’s women’s footballers this season was demonstrated by a well-earned 4-2 victory over Division Two champions Thames. Though Cambridge went into last weekend’s game assured of runners-up spot, the challenge of playing the league winners provided an excellent test. Thames got off to a fine start, taking the lead at John Kerkhof Park in the sixth minute. Cambridge captain Steph Upton got her team back into contention in the 17th minute. Two minutes later, Upton provided the pass for Sophie Young to score from a simple tap in lead. In the 34th minute, Cambridge goalkeeper Aimee Feingberg-Danieli made an excellent save to deny Thames from a free kick. After turning around with 2-1 lead, Cambridge pushed forward from the kick off and were rewarded with a penalty that Marie O’Neill scored in the 47th minute. Twenty minutes later, O’Neill all but clinched the result when she calmly slotted the ball past the Thames ‘keeper, after being played into space by strike partner Astrid Howarth. It was O’Neill’s eighth goal of the season. Cambridge were content to hold possession for the remainder of the half but still needed another full-length save by Feingberg-Danieli to maintain their margin. With three minutes to go, Thames scored a consolation goal. The Hill Homes Player of the Day was Lorena Herrera who contained Thames’ always-threatening lead striker. After receiving their competition trophy from WaiBOP

in an end-of-season friendly. Meanwhile, all Cambridge’s men’s teams have completed their seasons except for the third team who have two away games still to play in the WaiBOP Championship. That side extended their unbeaten run to six games with a thrilling 4-4 draw against Tauranga City last weekend. Cambridge will rue the fact they had the chance to wrap up the game early, racing to a 3-0 lead at John Kerkhof Park. As it was, they were forced to share the points when Tauranga found an equaliser in the last minute of play. Striker Adam Brady opened the scoring for Cambridge in the 12th minute and Ryan Ashby doubled his side’s lead a few minutes later. Brady made it 3-0 when he headed home in the 20th minute. Tauranga stayed in contention, thanks to a goal from Curtis Warner on the half-hour. Having turned around with Cambridge leading 3-1, the home side restored their three-goal margin when substitute Tom Gifford scored in the 49th minute. Tauranga wouldn’t surrender and they fought back with goals from Jack Pateman (70’) and Connor Smyth (73’) before substitute George Brown grabbed the equaliser four minutes into added time. Player of the Day for Cambridge was captain Sam Garmonsway. Cambridge continue to lead Group B of the championship. Entries are open for Cambridge’s annual 5-a-side Summer League which runs on Wednesday evenings from November 11 till February with a break over the holiday period.

Smashing it for WaipÄ By Steph Bell-Jenkins
Waipa is serving up opportunities for young players to get into competitive squash – and it’s leading the way in the Waikato region. Four years ago, Cambridge Racquets Club, Leamington Squash Club and Te Awamutu Squash Club teamed up with Sport Waikato and Squash Waikato to create the Waipa Big Nix Squash Tournament. The event gives year 5-8 students a chance to compete against each other every year in term three, following an eight-week coaching programme facilitated by schools. The first of its kind in New Zealand when it was launched in August 2016, the primary tournament was held again last Wednesday at Cambridge Racquets Club, attracting about 40 players competing across five divisions. The intermediate event was held in Te Awamutu. Waikato squash development officer Richard Harris said the tournament was “massively important to the development of young squash players�.
“It is the only Bix Nix tournament run in our region, so this is really the blueprint for how we’d like it to run in other districts,� he said. The competition had resulted from “the realisation that you need to have schools on board to grow the sport�, he said. He said Cambridge Racquets Club, Leamington Squash Club and Te Awamutu Squash Club had been the drivers and gave Glenda Knox, who set the programme up, credit for its success. Hayley Muller, whose 10-year-old son Cody attends Puahue School, said the tournament had been “awesome�. “The kids don’t have to go out and buy anything – they’ve been able to borrow the racquets – and it’s a taste of something before you actually commit to buying a whole year’s membership. He’s really enjoyed it, so we’ll be joining our local club.� Gethyn Foster, who won division two this year, said it was fun to play against other schools and make friends. Ten-year-old Andrew Coutts had also found it “very enjoyable� and liked competing against other schools. Leamington School won the tournament, with Taj Murray
Cambridge turns the table
Cambridge High produced an extraordinary turnaround on Saturday to win beat Te Awamutu College 11-6 and become Waikato High School Lacrosse girls Champions for 2020. A week after they were beaten 14-8 by Te Awamutu, coach Meg Jones hailed a “huge comeback�. “Obviously last week, Te Awamutu really fought to be in the final but our girls tried today. As coaches, Melissa [Gratwicke] and I are extremely proud.� Manager Jason Mouat said the team produced “hard gritty defence� and chased every loose ball “like their lives depended on it�. It is the sixth time Cambridge High School have won the Girls High School League. Cambridge High School also claimed overall victory in the large Girls B Division, and the new Junior Boys Division.

Double joy for CHS
Cambridge High’s top boys soccer and rugby teams both came from behind to score significant wins last weekend. The first XV completed the Waikato Secondary Schools Rugby Premier co-ed competition with a thrilling 14-10 win over Te Awamutu while the first XI completed an unbeaten season in Waikato Secondary Schools Division One, beating Hamilton Boys High 4-2 after trailing at half time. Both teams now have their eyes on going one better. The first XV will play Matamata in Matamata next week for the Ian Foster Shield while the first XI under coach Steve Thomas and Manager Jason Trower hope to play in the Premier division next
season. In Te Awamutu the host side led 10-7 after being awarded a penalty try and were three minutes away from their second win over Cambridge this season. All the scoring in a tight match came in the second half and the decisive move came late from Cambridge when Jacob Taurima crossed the line for Stu Bruce to convert. Braedon Hill, James Wilkinson and Morgan Montrose (2) took the school’s football team’s league tally to 55 in the win over Hamilton Boys. The unbeaten season also saw considerable development off the field as fundraising efforts enabled the purchase of new pitch ropes; seating and goals. Players
also volunteered at Cambridge Neighbourhood Support by helping with gardening and three team members have coached a junior team this season. The school has also enjoyed considerable success in Lacrosse – See story Page 17.

Dawson Smith kicked two conversion. Then last weekend the Under 15 rugby team won their final against Hamilton Boys High School 19-10.
The 1st XI boys and girls football teams also won their respective competitions. The boys beat Hamilton Boy’s High School 4-2 and the girls scored a 3-0 win over Rototuna High. Not to be outdone, last Tuesday, the St Peter’s junior girls’ basketball team won the Waikato Secondary Schools Basketball League, beating Hamilton Girls High School 54-52 in a nail-biting finish. Director of Sport, Te Aroha Keenan said she was thrilled with the results and credited her coaches for their passion and commitment to their teams.

Piako takes cup honours
A week after dispatching Cambridge, Piako has beaten Te Awamutu in the Stan Meads Cup subunion rugby competition. The visitors beat the seven-times holders of the Cup in Te Awamutu on Saturday at Albert Park 19-14. They also lifted the Waikato Rugby Union subunion prize of the Finlay Cup, which Te Awamutu had held for over a decade. Te Awamutu went into the home-town clash as nominal favourites, and the match was even at half time. Piako scored first with a converted try, before the home side came back with a seven pointer.
A battle of attrition continued in the second half, before the visitors broke the deadlock with their second touchdown. Te Awamutu stormed back with their second converted try but could only watch as Piako crossed again to lead by five with the clock ticking down. The last few minutes of the encounter saw desperate Te Awamutu attacks repelled by equally fierce Piako defence. The Piako victory was built upon structured attack and a solid game plan, and it has earned them a home semi-final in two weeks’ time. It means the remaining section two playoff position will be fought out in a winner take all
Waipā battle on Saturday, between Te Awamutu and Cambridge. South Waikato has pulled out of the competition after one game. The straw which broke the camel’s back was an injury toll from an opening beating by Hamilton. As a result, when Hamilton host 2019 Stan Meads Cup champions Central Bay of Plenty, at the Suburbs Rugby Club, they will be playing for the right to host a semi-final – and for the Peace Cup, currently held by Central Bay of Plenty. The crossover semi-finals will be staged on October 3, and the finals a week later.

Annabel’s ace run
Promising Waipā tennis player Annabel Chapman is enjoying a run of success. The 12-year-old Cambridge Racquets Club tennis player has made the 2020 season a year to remember with an outstanding list of successes. The latest came last weekend at the Nelson Spring Open where she won both singles and doubles titles in her age group, 12 and under. It started early in the Annabel Chapman season for the Year 8 St Peters student when she won both the Rotorua Junior tournament and then the Waikato Intermediate Schools singles. Following this she took the runner-up spot at both the Waikato - Bays intermediate school championships and the Waikato junior open tournament which included players from Australia and the Pacific Islands. Next up was a trip down south, first to Christchurch and the Canterbury junior championship where Annabel took out both the singles and doubles titles then it was on to Dunedin for a repeat performance at Otago junior championships. First up after lockdown was the Auckland junior tournament where Annabel wom the singles, then another trip down south to Nelson saw the Marlborough junior tournament become her next scalp. She then won the Waikato graded tournament held late August in Hamilton and at the start of the month travelled to Wellington where she won the Central Elite Singles Tournament. There is more on the horizon. Her next assignments include events in Hamilton, Auckland and Christchurch during school holidays and the national teams event, where she will represent Waikato-Bay of Plenty in Christchurch in mid-October, the Master Race Finals in Hamilton at the end of October and the nationals in Christchurch at the end of November

The Thames harness racing community may be small, but they were going off on Sunday after The Last Gamble’s win in the White Star Stables Mobile Trot (2200m) at Cambridge Raceway. The Dale Moore-trained and driven mare is one of only three horses trained at the Thames Raceway and Moore was delighted to get another win representing the Coromandel township. “I have got her and a young unqualified trotter called Mont Blanc who is just about ready to go to the workouts,” he said. “Rachel Holmes is training one there, so there are only three horses trained out of Thames. We are a small but friendly community.” The Last Gamble had been filling the minor placings this preparation and Moore believed the mobile start would be a major influence in Sunday’s result. “She has been knocking around, she’s just got a bit of a chink in her armour when it comes to those standing starts and she has lost so much ground in those races by not going away and yet she has still been weighing in. “The chance to run in a mobile was great, we have just been waiting for one of them.” Moore pushed the go button off the mobile, asking his charge to push forward early from her outside draw. While he attained the lead off race favourite Splitting Image, Dale soon handed up to Littlebitoflove to sit in the trail.

and take a bit of a gamble and stay in behind him. “Luckily I was able to follow through and got the gap and ran up the straight. It all worked out perfectly. “We are just thrilled today.” Moore said he enjoys heading to Cambridge Raceway with his small team, but he hasn’t ruled out a trip to Alexandra Park for some mobile starts. “Coming to Cambridge is so easy, there is no traffic, and you can work on 1 hour 20 minutes to get here,” he said. “It is a lot more relaxed than heading to Auckland, although I have been waiting for Auckland to run some more mile mobiles.” – Joshua Smith, Harness News Desk
The Last Gamble was driven home by Dale Moore.

The pair improved off the markers turning for home and ran away to a three-quarter length victory over Splitting Image, with a further 1-1/4 lengths back to Peannie in third. “I figured she would be tough enough if I had to use her a bit early. That was the plan to get her up there,” Moore said. “I knew that horse of Dylan’s (Ferguson, driver), Splitting Image, would be the one I would have to get around and when I got around her, I thought I have got this cut and dried. “But then Jay (Abernethy, trainerdriver) comes and challenges and I had a little bit of a run with him, but he had the stick out and I thought I would ease

The discovery of bovine TB in Hawke’s Bay threw Owl Farm’s heifer grazing plans up in the air. Their grazier lost access to grazing for over 1000 heifers, including the 90 calves from Owl Farm and it led to a rethink this season’s heifer management strategy. The simplest solution would have been to find alternative grazing off-farm, but this proved challenging, with fierce competition from other operations in the same situation. All was not lost though, as analysis of their onfarm options led to the development of some viable alternatives. “Making sure our milking herd was not impacted was fundamental to our strategy,” says Jo Sheridan, Owl Farm Demonstration Manager. “We didn’t want to reduce our herd numbers or their feed allocation. So, it was a matter
of investigating how we could provide the extra 3 kgDM/ ha/day the calves would add to our daily demand over the summer months. “Aside from the extra feed demand, we also had to factor in the extra demands on labour and infrastructure, and in summer the calves will need feed that contains more energy and protein than our pasture can provide.” Owl Farm manager Tom Buckley said benefits of having the calves “at home” outweighed any drawbacks. “We have a support block adjoining the milking platform that is not ideal for the milking herd – it is further away from the shed and we find we don’t get good pasture utilisation when the cows graze there; it will suit the heifers better. “We were going to use it for silage, so we have bought silage in instead to free the land up. It will also give us the chance to use the heifers
to graze our new grass in autumn, which went really well last season, and we can carry out an analysis of calf growth rates on a summer crop to share with the industry. “I’m excited about tackling the challenge, and it means we will be able to keep a close eye on our heifers - weighing them regularly and checking they are on track to meet LIC’s MINDA targets, carrying out vet checks when we need to, and intervening with farm feed or bought-in feed if the summer is dry again.” Jo Sheridan said it was also a great opportunity to involve St Peter’s School students in a new learning opportunity. “Some of the students adopted a calf in spring, now they will be able to follow them through the whole season, and be involved in regular activities, like weighing.” The alternatives they came up with included buying in feed – silage and PKE, and/or planting a specialist crop that would fill the summer gap – either chicory or a brassica crop, such as forage rape or the new forage brassica, Pallaton Raphno, developed by PGG Wrightson Seeds. Although the switch to on-farm grazing will fit the bill this season, long term the intention is to continue grazing the heifers off.

with Jan Bilton
Celebrate Spring I have been waiting expectantly for the season’s first strawberries. Now they’re here and although I’m delighted I can now savour a favourite fruit, I find the first berries are often a little tangy and are best enjoyed in smoothies, sauces and bakes. It’s summer when they are at their peak — nature’s healthy nibbles. Firm berries should be stored at room temperature to allow the flavours to develop. When fully ripe, store in a single layer in a paper towel-lined shallow container — covered — in the fridge. Asparagus is popping up all over and the two — asparagus and strawberries — are an excellent combo in salads (try adding some crisp bacon too) and drizzled with Hollandaise or a good vinaigrette. Store asparagus wrapped in damp paper towels in the fridge. If the base of the asparagus stems are tough, peel with a vegetable knife before use. Many cooks believe that thin spears are more tender than thick ones. However, tenderness is usually related to colour — the greener or purpler or whiter the better. STRAWBERRY GIN ICE CREAM If using a metal loaf pan, line it with baking paper. 2 cups washed, hulled and quartered strawberries 1/4 cup caster sugar 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1/4 cup gin 1.5 litres vanilla ice cream Place the strawberries in a saucepan with the caster sugar and lemon juice. Bring to the boil and simmer for about 8 minutes, until softened. Purée with a hand-held blender, until smooth. Stir in the gin. Cool. Allow the ice cream to soften slightly. Spoon 1/3 of the ice cream evenly over the base of a 1.5 litre loaf pan. Pat down with the back of the spoon. Drizzle with 1/4 of the cold purée. Repeat the layers twice. Using a chopstick, swirl the coulis through the ice cream. Cover and freeze overnight. Serve in slices or scoops together with the remaining purée

North Island largeleafed kōwhai is the tallest of eight species of sophora endemic to New Zealand, although the genus is found throughout Asia, America, Europe and the Pacific. It belongs to the pea family, which includes gorse, broom and the native kākābeak. Growing to 12 metres, Sophora tetraptera is suitable for a street or garden tree if carefully staked when young, and is great for attracting tui, bellbirds and kākā. Kowhai (Sophora Two features make the kōwhai unusual among our native plants: first it is semi-deciduous, and secondly, unlike most New Zealand plants whose blooms are white and inconspicuous, its flowers are a striking sunny yellow. (In te reo Māori the word for yellow is kōwhai) The springtime blooms on the barren branches of the kōwhai are a sign for Māori to plant kūmara and gather kina. The tree was also used for medicinal purposes:
Strawberry gin ice cream.
bark collected from the sunny side of the trunk was steeped in water to make wai kōwhai, which was used to treat pain, wounds, skin diseases, and constipation. It is said that in 1925 when the ‘Invincibles’ All Black, George Nepia sustained a severe leg injury and was threatened with surgery to avoid bloodpoisoning, he instead chose the kōwhai cure. Two weeks after bathing in wai kōwhai he captained Hawkes tetraptera) Bay to victory over Taranaki. All parts of the tree contain a toxic alkaloid called cytisine, or sophorine, which seems to help people stop smoking, but is also a powerful purgative. After a group of whalers stole the grog of an old Bluff brewer he got revenge next time they were in port by putting boiled kōwhai leaves in his brew; ‘for 12 hours straight they were erupting at both ends.’ (Vennell, The Meaning of Trees)
Cambridge Tree Trust would like to thank Mitre 10 for their support for these monthly articles which are intended to raise interest and awareness of trees in Cambridge.
