Candidates have their say

By Viv Posselt

Concerns about burdensome overregulation, falling land prices, mental health issues and worker shortages in rural areas were among topics that dominated a candidates’ meeting in Te Awamutu hosted last week by Federated Farmers.

The meeting covered the Taranaki-King Country electorate and was attended by members of the Ōtorohanga and King Country Federated Farmers branches. Te Awamutu branch chairman Andrew Raymer chaired the event; he said it was standard procedure for Federated Farmers to host candidates’ meetings in their electorates during an election cycle.

Speakers included National Party MP for

Taranaki-King Country Barbara Kuriger, ACT candidate for Taranaki-King Country Brent Miles, New Conservative candidate for Taranaki-King Country Lee Smith, and Labour candidate for Taranaki-King Country Angela Roberts.

They offered broad consensus on a couple of issues. Among those was the need to untangle current regulation in the farming sector, a call to simplify the Resource Management Act (RMA) to ease housing issues, the need to make rural careers more attractive to young people and to better facilitate migration to fill rural vacancies, and to polish farming’s image, particularly among more urban-based New Zealanders.

Barbara Kuriger said the past two and a half to three years had been “particularly

murray hunt

tough” for farmers. “It has become too hard, there is far too much regulation,” she said, adding that the on-off bashing of farmers around water in particular exacerbated other problems.

“We’re a food producing nation … we produce enough to feed 40 million people in New Zealand; we have to promote those exports. We’re already at the top internationally and we must maintain that.

This isn’t a sunset industry. If we don’t value our farmers, someone else will produce that food somewhere else.”

She said government had to get out of farmers’ way and let them get on with the job they do well.

Lee Smith said she spoke daily to farmers ready to walk off the land, exhausted by

“compliances and regulatory strangleholds” that she described as “death by a thousand cuts”. She criticised government decisions that had prevented dairies, butchers and the like from trading during lockdown while allowing supermarkets to continue operating, and said focusing on a post Covid-19 economic recovery was crucial.

Brent Miles said ACT had a strong fivepoint economic recovery plan, and said it was important to factor in cause and effect which meant decisions would always impact someone else. He suggested legislation should be crafted to ensure farmers could identify opportunities for growth. “They need to work in an environment that gives them the opportunity to excel.” continued on page 2

Part of the process in building back farming’s reputation was connecting communities to the land, said Angela Roberts. She said secondary schools need to “convince students that primary industry is a great place to be”. Building back from Covid-19 would require investment in health, education, housing and infrastructure, she added, which would in turn support farmers.

One audience member said farmers’ property values had decreased over the last three years due to government policies, while another questioned the push to plant pine trees on land that could be better utilised in other ways.

Snow White to Tinkerbell…

By Viv Posselt

The show’s Selector’s Choice award went to Betty Gilchrist for ‘Sunset’, a wall hanging made from a recycled duvet, and the Viewer’s Choice award went to Tracey Sparke for ‘Coral Blanket’, an item that also won a merit in the Colour and Design category. That award was selected by those visiting the exhibition.

The selector in this year’s exhibition was Cambridge’s Cynthia Read.

Vienna Seabright is one talented Te Awamutu 10-year-old.

Not only has she just finished a successful run as the lead in ‘Snow White and the Seven Pirates’ at Hamilton’s Meteor Theatre, but she has also earned herself a merit award at the Te Awamutu Creative Fibre’s ‘Colour Worx’ exhibition.

Vienna won the award for a framed depiction of ‘Tinkerbell’, one that was her first attempt at embroidery.

She also had a piece of patchwork on the show, which ended on Sunday.

“I started doing some needlework during lockdown. Then I made a large ‘D’ for my dad for Father’s Day which was my first crossstitch.”

Vienna and her mum Wendy Bellhouse are members of Te Awamutu Creative Fibre and both exhibited in this year’s exhibition. Wendy had several items on show, including a crafted jellyfish, two books, and a crocheted jug cover which won a First Time Vienna Seabright and the embroidered ‘Tinkerbell’ that won her a merit award Entrant award. at this year’s Te Awamutu Creative Fibre exhibition.

On the beat Security: more than locked doors with Ryan Fleming

On Monday I returned from a period of annual leave and after clearing a mountain of emails I hit the road to catch up on some work.

While making an enquiry at an address in Te Awamutu I discovered no one home. Here is the rub; The only security consideration made by the occupant was to lock the doors.

The windows were all open, and I mean wide open. There were items of value sitting on the kitchen windowsill in plain view of the footpath only a metre away.

Granted it was an unseasonably hot day and the windows were likely open to encourage a breeze, but why make it easy for the opportunist burglar?

The small cannabis plant growing on the deck may also have been an invitation to some as well. If you are reading this and have noticed your cannabis plant missing from your deck, feel free to come to the Police station to discuss its disappearance.

to ensure your home is secured while in the garden etc. Take the time to review your home security. Do your windows have stays? Are your shrubs and gardens suitably trimmed?

Burglars use shrubs and bushes for concealment, and it is a good idea to keep them trimmed to deny that concealment.

In the early hours of Wednesday morning we had a commercial burglary, committed by an out of town offender. He travelled from out of district to offend here and travelled north

where Huntly police attempted to pull him over. He fled and was tracked by the Eagle helicopter.

The offender is now before the court charged with burglary – a great result.

On Monday school is back and all parents can breathe a sigh of relief (I know my wife will) so please remember to keep your speed down around the schools and obey the safe school speed limits.

What’s in a name?

A sharp-eyed reader correctly reminded us last week that our popular Waipa Walks series had strayed into King Country territory. We’ll look at a more generic name for the column.

Tooth day Wednesday

Next Wednesday marks the fifth annual World Cavity-Free Future Day (WCFFDay). Tooth decay is the most prevalent chronic disease in New Zealand.

Latest statistics show that a third of New Zealand adults have untreated tooth decay and one in six children aged 5 to 11 have had untreated decay in their baby teeth.

Meth raids police announce 100 arrests

Police say a three-month operation targeting organised crime in Waikato will make methamphetamine harder to find.

They have announced that after arming themselves with 40 search warrants, they have arrested more than 100 people linked to organised crime, seized more than a kilogram of the drug and 30 illegally held firearms.

Operation Typhoon has been a threemonth-long operation.

“Disrupting and reducing the quantity of methamphetamine available across the Waikato can only have a positive affect for our more vulnerable community members,” Detective Inspector Graham Pitkethley said.

“Importantly, and as previously reported in September, we identified and dismantled four commercial scale methamphetamine labs and seized commercial quantities of materials and precursor chemicals destined to be used in the manufacturing of methamphetamine.”

He said a fifth methamphetamine lab was found on Monday on a rural property near Raglan.

“These manufacturers and their network of dealers and suppliers prey on the most vulnerable people in our community and use violence, threats, and intimidation to push drugs for

their own financial benefit,” he said.

Operation Typhoon also highlighted the “significant working relationship” between members of a variety of gangs and chapters.

“This included Waikato Mongrel Mob and Mongrel Mob Rogue chapter members and associates working together in relation to three of the methamphetamine labs. As a result, they face a number of serious charges including participating in an organised criminal group, manufacturing methamphetamine, possession of precursor chemicals to manufacture methamphetamine, supplying methamphetamine and unlawful possession of firearms.”

Those charged in relation to Operation Typhoon have already appeared in the Hamilton District Court.

Police say anyone with information about drug offending, suspicious financial activities or the identification and location of proceeds of crime should contact Police by phoning 105, or anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

“We encourage anyone affected by drug addiction to seek help through the Alcohol and Drug Helpline on 0800 787 797, or free text 8681,” Pitkethley said.

Jacob Nooyen is celebrating two medal wins.

The toast of Ōhaupō Vilagrad Winery has bought home two medals from the New World wine awards.

The family owned Waikato winery won a silver medal for their 2019 Pinot Gris, and a bronze medal for their 2018 Pinot Gris.

Winemaker Jacob Nooyen said they were elated to find out they had been picked as a medal winner.

The awards demonstrated that Waikato grown wines measure-up against the best in the country.

“These results reflect the enormous amount of passion and effort our family pour into our wines. Our Pinot Gris has consistently won awards, including a gold in 2015 and shows the grape varietal is well suited to the Waikato climate” Jacob describes the Pinot Gris as a real crowd pleaser.

“We’re really excited to now have a wine tasting area and shop open seven days a week. We encourage everyone to stop in and have a tasting of Waikato’s award-winning wines.”

It is planned to plant more Pinot Gris on their Ōhaupō block.

“Our Pinot Gris has strong apricot, pear and peach flavours and displays lovely crisp citrus notes. As the vines age they will create even more depth and flavour and I’m confident will continue to win awards.”

Vilagrad is a family owned and operated vineyard, restaurant and function centre — now in its fifth generation of winemaking.

Now in its 18th year, the New World Wine Awards are wellrecognised within the industry.

Roadmap plan ‘gold standard’ A proposed climate action roadmap being prepared by the Waikato Regional Council is being touted as a potential gold standard for New Zealand.

The document has been lauded by regional council chairman Russ Rimmington as a model the rest of the country will want to follow.

A draft copy of the report says it represents an effort by the council to “gather and refine its commitments and actions in both mitigation and adaptation of climate change, inhouse and region-wide in partnership with others”.

The plan proposes nine pathways for climate actions – broadly headlined under coastal resilience, agriculture and soils, water, habitat restoration, transport, investment, biodiversity and biosecurity, drainage and flood management and energy.

A key focus will be on emission reduction in agriculture, which in Waikato generates 69 per cent of emissions.

Waikato’s emissions as a food producer is about 30 per cent higher than the national average “The emissions profile of the region indicates a specific opportunity to focus on reduction efforts on

agriculture and afforestation and, given the accelerated rate of regional emissions increase, on transport,” the report says.

The draft also focusses on the importance of starting conversations about the resilience of coastal communities.

It is a plan designed to build on the work of the council’s Climate Action Committee which endorsed the roadmap in August.

“The roadmap takes a full systems approach, focussing on areas that represent the biggest challenges and opportunities currently in the council’s sphere of influence.”

It is intended that when the report is adopted it will provide high level guidance for the integration of council activities.

Partners and stakeholders would be invited to help advance the “agricultural and soil pathway” in Waikato.

The council will work with iwi and Māori organisations to frame climate change risks, adaptation and mitigation from “a Māori worldview perspective”.

“Waikato-Tainui want to be early adapters in the transition to a low emissions economy and to be in a

position to influence climate legislation.”

The council says it has been preparing for the impact of a changing climate and climate is

a priority in its 10-year strategy.

It says the impact of climate change is already being seen and the “ripple effect from lost primary

productions is felt in retail and service sectors in our towns”.

The report warns that over the next century Waikato can expect rising

sea levels, more extreme weather, drier, warmer summers, milder winters and shifting seasons.

Dairy farming helped Waipā buck a national trend.

Thumbs up from Rimmington for dairy farmers Regional Council chairman Russ Rimmington has issued a rallying call for the country’s farmers and warned against using climate change as an excuse to “kill the golden goose”.

Mr Rimmington – himself a dairy farmer for 40 years – said farmers did not get enough credit and the country should not play into the hands of “jealous European Greens” who aided and abetted criticism of the industry.

“Let’s back our farmers. They are conservationists and they take great pride in the land and animal

welfare. That’s not acknowledged by politicians from both major parties.”

His comments come as the regional council develops a climate change roadmap to counter carbon emissions – which in Waikato come mainly from agriculture.

Mr Rimmington said there was no way dairying was a sunset industry, and it was “unfortunate” that media was selective in profiling farming.

“An example is wintering pads, where stock may be held in one paddock out of 50 for a limited

time. It’s part of a routine of good practice to protect the other 49 paddocks and prevent pugging throughout the farm.

“You might get one bad apple, but 99% of farmers walk the talk.”

Farmers could turn their back on dairying and subdivide on plant pine trees, he said.

But they continue to produce, he said, and that was illustrated during the Covid lockdown.

His comments reflect a report to the Waipā District Council which said the region bucked the national trend thanks to a $68 million

increased dairy payout, which slightly lifted average annual gross domestic product over the latest quarter.

It said unlike many other businesses, most primary industries in Waipā remained in operation during alert level 3 and 4 Covid-19 lockdowns and the dairy pay-out alone was estimated to have pushed $527 million into the Waipā economy.

Mr Rimmington said with a payout predicted to better $, farmers would continue to invest in best practice.

He believed that Fonterra had now “hit their straps” and was investing in producing a high value products range which would draw premium

By Russ Rimmington prices.

An example was the Hautapu plant which produced very high-value products, including lactoferrin which sells in Asia by the kilo, not tonne.

Macindoe: it’s not about Covid-19

By Viv Posselt

National MP for Hamilton West Tim Macindoe has debunked the upcoming vote as a ‘Covid-19 election’ - and told Cambridge residents the pandemic should not be used to deflect from other important issues.

Mr Macindoe was speaking at the candidates meeting hosted by Cambridge Grey Power at St Andrew’s Church hall last week. He was standing in for Taupo MP Louise Upston, who was unable to attend.

“We need to look closely at the parties and policies that can deliver,” he said. “With the huge borrowing that has been undertaken – and I think everyone understands why it was done – we need to ensure that every dollar is spent wisely and in a way that will boost production, help the economy, save jobs and create more jobs to get us out of this difficult situation.”

He said some businesses would likely hit the wall and be unable to recover, and said the country was more dependent than ever on primary production. “It will be they who will lead the way in our recovery. We must ensure that the future

government doesn’t kneecap our primary producers at a time when we need them the most.”

Mr Macindoe said sound investment in infrastructure, including roading, schools, hospitals and housing, was crucial.

Other political speakers included Waikato Labour candidate Kerrin Leoni, Taupō candidate Ala’ AlBustanji, ACT candidate for Taupō David Freeman, and Advance NZ Party candidate for Taupō Antoinette James.

Green Party candidate for Hamilton East, Rimu Bhooi, initially accepted the invitation, but did not attend.

Each of the speakers gave a brief outline of their background and reasons for standing before focusing on their key message.

Kerrin Leoni said housing, job creation and access to education were key issues for her. She said communities were not as connected as they were a few years ago, and it was important to get the right leadership in parliament to promote a collective approach to economic development.

Antoinette James’ plea for New Zealanders to ‘grab

your independence before it disappears’ stirred some audience reaction. She suggested that New Zealand was being run from the United Nations as per the controversial Agenda 21, a non-binding UN resolution focused on sustainable development and often linked to conspiracy theorists.

Mr Macindoe responded: “I want to assure you, New Zealand is not being run by the United Nations.”

David Freeman focused his address on the need to get rid of the RMA, which he described as a millstone around the necks of those seeking to address the housing issue. He voiced concerns around taxation, mental health services and the racing industry, one he said was ‘stuffed’ and would be lost unless something serious was done to save it.

Ala’ Al-Bustanji said he had been inspired to enter politics following the 2019 Christchurch mosque attacks, when he was spurred on by the solidarity shown by New Zealanders.

He praised the country’s leadership and said the best economic response in the wake of Covid-19 was the best health response.

THE AGE OF REASON

Sailing on the Conga Line

By Peter Carr

Over recent weeks we (that is my fellow Opinion scribes and myself) have become very serious in our writing endeavours. Elections, political leaders, euthanasia and cannabis. We have covered them all. Time for something more lighthearted.

Most readers will be aware that my editorially appointed role is to canvas the thoughts and observations of those who have rights to the Gold Card. For whatever use it is generally, there are some chinks in the protective armour of retailers, and I thank them for that.

It provides us oldies the chance to look back and reminisce on matters past and how they materially affected one’s future life

linking four continents in 76 days.

It was a balmy night in the Caribbean, New Year’s Eve to be exact. I had left my passenger dinner table earlier and stepped onto the bridge for the 8pm to midnight watch. I was accompanied by a cadet, quartermaster and a bridge boy and we had a sharp-eyed lookout up the mast above the bridge to warn of any lights, land or shipborne, that could be seen ahead.

A pleasant night. Sounds of Yuletide revelry below on the ten decks beneath my feet. The warm placid Caribbean waters being parted by the sharp bow at 18 knots setting off phosphorescence. A clear cloudless sky with a myriad stars and the odd planet as company.

(which is now mainly historical).

I was reminded the other day of an incident that may not reflect well on those of us that, pre-Covid, used to enjoy the delights of cruising on ships – large and small – to diverse corners of the world.

There was a Golden Age when sea travel was actually a means of travelling from A to B with the express intention of getting there!

And, in the meanwhile, enjoying everything that the ship had to offer.

And so, it was, in 1963 as a young officer in a highly respected British shipping company, I was officer-of-the-watch on a passenger ship carrying almost 1500 passengers and 400 crew. We were on a round-the-world service

FAITH IN WAIPĀ

Suddenly the sound of the celebrating passengers below assumed a crescendo. It was getting louder, quite swiftly. The cadet suggested I should stroll out to the port bridge wing - there, snaking up a series of companionways (stairways to land-based people) was a very long snake of what appeared to be in excess of 100 young people. They were all hanging on, conga style, to the hips of the person ahead of them.

And up they came, swaying and chanting, until they reached the bridge. They entered, all-singing all-dancing, and threaded their way through the chartroom, out to the starboard side of the bridge.

Then they disappeared vertically downwards again towards the

New Year’s Eve dance some five decks below.

After they had gone, I turned to my fellow watch keepers and queried as to whether that had really happened. They all affirmed that it was so.

Naturally this madness did not appear in the logbook at the end of the watch – nor was the stern disciplinarian Captain of the ship informed. His thin sense of humour would never have handled such abrogation of maritime discipline.

I often reflect as to what happened to those lovely and lively people later in life. Perhaps they have been cruising.

Dodging a bullet

And now for the ‘good’ newsLine

By Murray Smith, Senior Leader, Bridges Church

By Peter Matthews

This week, in the course of a phone call with a friend living in Northern Queensland, I learned of a woman who during a walk, sat on a log for a breather in the middle of her trek.

After a while, feeling rejuvenated she stood up to press on…at which point the ‘log’ moved. She scrambled clear as the realisation crashed in on her that she had been sitting on a huge saltwater crocodile. You could say that she ‘dodged a bullet.’

A strange term, but graphically useful. It means, “to narrowly avoid something or some situation that turns out to be undesirable, disastrous, dangerous, or otherwise harmful. (idioms.thefreedomdictionary.com) As it happens, I guess I can claim to have recently ‘dodged a bullet’ by the above definition.

Having recently spent 10 days in hospital after being “t-boned” on a motorbike, I’m very thankful that the scope of injuries was limited to multiple fractures which will heal in time and not in permanent disabilities. I’m thankful I have the faculties and capacity to even be typing right now - albeit with a caste the size of a bowling ball on my repaired left hand.

It’s left me feeling compelled to underscore an often ignored, objective reality. This has to do with the truth, that in a particular sense, there is ultimately a universal ‘bullet to be dodged’ - by everyone of us.

The ‘bullet’ I’m referring to comes as an awful consequence that all of mankind is guilty of perpetuating.

Estrangement from God. Created in the image and likeness of

God, there is an innate spiritual awareness in every human being and a capacity for personal relationship with God. However, through suppression of the truth and wilful rejection of that in-built inclination, humanity has sought to manage life (and death) on its own terms. Constructing a rationale devoid of God’s plans and purposes, we completely lost our way.

Back in the 1600s a group of church leaders attempted to shape a concise expression of the essence of life and faith. Their statement - the Westminster Confession, included a succinct line…”Man’s chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy Him forever”.

It’s a good line. But a problem exists with us ‘knowing God and enjoying Him forever’.

Of necessity, somehow the breach in our relationship with God demanded reconciliation.

That’s where the Cross comes in. We see crosses everyday- on buildings, as ornaments, art objects, as tattoos and fashion accessories.

Yet our understanding of it as an instrument of death is vague. Implemented by the Romans, it was eventually banished in 337AD as it was considered too inhumane.

God being rich in mercy provided a way for us to be spared. Christ went to the cross as our sin-bearer ‘taking a bullet’ for us. Because of Jesus’ death and resurrection, the bitterness of estrangement from one another can be removed.

God offers a plan whereby if it is accepted, mercy, forgiveness and peace can be ours.

It’s freely extended to everyone.

One of, if not the only, benefit of flying as close to the deadline as I habitually do is that I can change what I am planning to write at the last minute. My story of two neighbours will have to wait.

I attended an event organised by the Chamber of Commerce in the offices of a prominent investment services company in Cambridge this morning. There was, of course, a presentation during which I learned two things which I found surprising for an odd reason.

My initial reaction to these things was that they are both positives, but they were presented as negatives. The first was that population growth rates amongst developed nations are slowing and this is presenting challenges to policy makers. The other is that governments and central banks around the world are actively engaged in trying to get inflation up to a pre-determined level which is seen as a good place to be, but by and large are not succeeding ie; inflation rates in the developed world are remaining stubbornly low. I hadn’t realised this. I was at school in the seventies and the talk always seemed to be that inflation was a bad thing which must be kept to a minimum.

Of course, viewed through my idealistically green filter, slow population growth rates and low inflation seem like good news but it’s not as simple as that.

After the event I cornered the gentleman who had given the technical part of the presentation and posed the question: If inflation is ideally kept at 2% - how is that sustainable from an environmental perspective? Surely, incessant economic

growth must lead ultimately to environmental collapse.

There followed an interesting discussion in which he pointed out that much of the economic growth taking place today is amongst tech companies which doesn’t involve a lot of depletion of natural resources but is more like cutting and pasting code.

A tech company can expand hugely in value whilst retaining essentially the same carbon footprint. Moreover, the growth of a company such as Tesla, now the most valuable car manufacturer in the world, is offset by the declining emphasis on fossil fuels. Thus, we see the slowing of some hitherto unstoppable economic behemoths, who have built their value by mining from a finite stock of natural reserves, and the rise of greener technologies which trade on renewable resources.

Interestingly, the man I was talking to, who is one of the foremost equity analysts in the country, proffered the view that the economic growth pattern seen from the industrial revolution to the present cannot continue unabated. In fact, he added that even in the last 18 months he has seen a swing towards emphasis on environmental values, on the parts of governments and clients alike, be they described as green, renewable, sustainable, or any other parvenu buzzwords, all, in my view, similes for ‘sensible’.

So, it seems that the changes are beginning to come from the top - now that’s what I’ve been talking about.

THURSDAY OCTOBER 8, 2020

Chopper checks to start on peat land Helicopter flights to capture information on future peat soil subsidence are due to take place over the next month as part of a long-term Waikato Regional Council programme.

The flights represent the first round of region-wide peat subsidence monitoring, and the next round will be in 2025.

The purpose of these flights is to collect ground surface level data using a technique called Lidar, as well as aerial photography.

Waikato Regional Council soil and land scientist Justin Wyatt said the Waikato region has 89,000ha of peat soils. About 80 per cent is

drained for productive land uses.

“Peat drainage results in land subsidence and we need to understand and plan for the potential consequences of this ongoing subsidence,” Mr Wyatt said. “To better understand the potential impacts and to enable us to provide good advice for future land and drainage management of our peat soils, we need robust information on peat subsidence.”

So, with the support of Manaaki Whenua – Landcare Research, the University of Waikato and University of Canterbury, Waikato Regional Council has developed a long-term monitoring programme

to capture peat subsidence information across the region.

“In time, this work will improve our understanding of how existing peat soil management influences subsidence rates and will provide information on how future changes in land management and other factors, such as climate change, will impact peat subsidence,” Mr Wyatt said.

The Waikato region has about 40 per cent of New Zealand’s peatland resource.

Drainage has allowed peat soils to contribute to the regional economy, but this results in subsidence and oxidation of the

peat and ultimately the loss of the peat resource. Subsidence contributes to greenhouse gas emissions through carbon loss. It can also adversely affect adjacent infrastructure, such as roads, provision of services and impact on land drainage. In these situations, it is important that robust data supports planning to better manage and preserve these soils.

Mr Wyatt said there are 12 monitoring sites across the region – including one east of Ōhaupō - where measurements will be captured.

Landowners have been contacted directly via letter and may notice

a helicopter flying in a regular pattern at an elevation of 153 metres above ground level over all or part of their property.

“Some of our monitoring transects include mineral, nonpeat soils to help check the data we are collecting over peat soils.

Monitoring locations were selected to ensure surveying covers a representative mix of land uses, peat type, peat depth and drainage types.”

The duration of survey flights will depend on the size of the monitoring area.

Alan wants you to listen to the music

By Viv Posselt

A country music club being led by long-time Waipā muso and guitarist Alan Sayers will launch on Saturday.

The launch will be at the senior citizens’ hall in Milicich Place, Cambridge.

Alan’s pledge is to bring to town a music club with a difference. He promises the Cambridge Town and Country Music Club, as he is calling it, will hold country music at its heart, but says it will also welcome other musical genres.

“We’ll be predominantly country, of course” he said, “but there will

be plenty of room for music by others, such as that by the Beatles or [Rolling] Stones. What I’d like to see is a club which offers audience participation, dancing, line-dancing … I believe the club should be about getting people off their bums and doing something social that they can enjoy. Those who have a guitar can bring it along, people can do up a chord chart and the band might play it. We’d like to see people getting involved, of course, but those who simply want to come along and listen will be welcome too.”

There will be a live band each month - with Alan as band leader,

handling lead guitar and vocals.

His dad was a big band/orchestra style musician, and Alan started out playing bass guitar around 1970.

It’s in his blood, he said, and he particularly loves the raw simplicity of country music.

“If my foot’s not tapping, it’s not doing it for me, no matter what genre of music is playing.”

He is excited at the prospect of a new club livening things up in Cambridge. The new Cambridge Town and Country Music Club kicks off at the hall on Saturday at 1pm and run through to 4.30pm, with an entry fee of $4.

Alan Sayers is setting up a Town and Country Music Club.

Meads Cup hopes dashed Hopes of a Waipā win the the Stan Meads Cup were dashed in Hamilton.

Te Awamutu, who brushed aside Cambridge enroute to the semi-final of the rugby subunion competition were beaten 40-10 by favourites Hamilton at Flagstaff.

With Piako accounting for 2019 Cup holders Central Bay of Plenty 31-12 it has set up a Piako-Hamilton final at the Melville Rugby Club, Hamilton.

Kick-off is at 2.30pm.

There was a venue change early this week for the final which was originally to have been played at the Suburbs ground in Flagstaff, Hamilton.

With neither sub union ever having won the cup, it means a new name will be engraved on the Mid-North Island Sub-Union rugby trophy.

Piako have been beaten in three finals.

The Stan Meads Cup is named after the former All Black who played in the 1960’s.

Hamilton were the first to make the title decider when they ran away from seven-time SMC titleholders Te Awamutu under

lights at Suburbs Rugby Club in Hamilton, on Friday night.

Hamilton opened the scoring with a converted try and went on to lead 18-5 at half time. As in their three previous 2020 SMC games, the floodgates opened in the second half, Hamilton also retained the Peace Cup and won the inaugural Waysy Shield, to be contested between Hamilton and Te Awamutu, which remembers the December 2019 passing of Hamilton Sub-Union revered administrator Peter Way. Piako made their fourth Stan Meads Cup title decider with a decisive win at Campbell Park in Morrinsville.

The home side ran in three first half tries and added two conversions, to lead 19-7 at the half time break in play. Piako resumed where they left off in the first spell to run in a further two tries, with the visitors grabbing a second five pointer to give the Morrinsville based side a 31-12 victory.

The Piako win, was based upon a superior scrum and the backline receiving plenty of quality ball from the lineouts.

TA pay the penalty again

Te Awamutu’s run of bad luck with penalty calls continued during a 7-0 WaiBop Premier League loss at Taupo.

The home side won a hotly disputed penalty – just as had happened the previous week at home to Huntly.

A wonder-goal from the hosts followed and TA faced an uphill struggle from the start.

It was three by half time and Taupo added four more in the second as they outplayed their visitors.

“This season was always going to be hard for TA and was about consolidating and rebuilding a team,” coach Jim Grainger said.

His side failed to get the win they sought all season – two draws from 16 games was all they had to show, but Grainger said that wasn’t a reflection of the effort they put in.

“I want to acknowledge the commitment of the

team - despite not getting the wins they deserved, the boys have shown great heart, showing up twice a week for training and giving their all on the pitch.

“Although we were hit with injuries at the start of the season and at times struggled to field 11 players on a Saturday, we’ve benefitted from some returning, familiar faces and end the season, ready to plan for the next. The league table doesn’t lie, but I’m proud of the consistent effort that’s gone into this season”.

Papamoa wrapped up the premiership title, finishing the top six competition with a perfect 16-win record and 12 points ahead of Ngaruawahia. Ōtorohanga, promoted last season, finished a creditable fourth with eight wins and a draw from 16 outings.

Tauranga City won the bottom six series.

ATVs roll out

They have twice as many wheels as your typical motorcycle and that’s why ATVs (all terrain vehicles) are also known as quad bikes.

Racing them requires an immense amount of skill and courage and that will certainly be on show this Labour weekend, October 24-25, at the Duckmanton AGsponsored 2020 New Zealand ATV Championships, to be staged near Timaru and hosted by the Canterbury ATV Association.

The popular Backflips Dirt Farm ATV facility at Pleasant Point, on the outskirts of Timaru, is always well-prepared and will provide an ideal battleground for the pilots of these sleek but powerful brutes.

Defending champion in the premier grade is Stratford’s Camo Keegan and it will be hard not to rate him as favourite to win again this Labour Weekend.

His leading rivals include Ōtorohanga’s Shane Robinson.

Keegan has five national title wins to his credit in the premier grade – having won the title for the first time in 2013 and then scoring four in a row, winning in 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 – so he knows he’ll have a target on his back this time around.

Among the female racers, Ōtorohanga’s Amy Corston is expected to be among the leaders.

THURSDAY OCTOBER 8, 2020

Aegon extends unbeaten record Andrew Forsman and the Zame Partnership look to have unearthed another exciting galloper in Aegon.

The three-year-old son of Sacred Falls won the Gr.2 Hawke’s Bay Guineas (1400m) at Hastings on Saturday and he looks to be following in the same footsteps as his ownership predecessors Rhaegar and Jon Snow.

Zame Partnership spokesman Bart Zame was thrilled to win the three-yearold feature with the Murray Baker and Andrew Forsmantrained gelding, keeping his undefeated record intact after winning at Taupo on debut in August.

“It was great on Saturday, it was so exciting,” Zame said.

“It was a lot of fun watching

that and it was only his second start so you never quite know at this stage what they have got in store, but it was very cool on Saturday.

“Having a horse in there is a whole lot of fun. We had watched the favourite Need I Say More’s three previous races and I didn’t have huge expectations.”

But Aegon pleasantly surprised his connections and while they have fielded several offers for him, Zame said they are having plenty of fun racing him at the moment.

“We will sit down and have a conversation at some stage (with Forsman and Baker), but it is pretty hard to replicate that sort of fun,” Zame said.

The Zame Partnership have had plenty of success over

the last few years, racing the likes of Gr.1 Australian Derby (2400m) winner Jon Snow and Listed Futurity Stakes (1400m) winner Rhaegar.

All three horses were identified and purchased as yearlings by Forsman, and Zame said the partnership owes its success to Forsman’s keen eye.

“We have managed to hitch ourselves to someone that seems to know what they are doing and seems to know it pretty well,” Zame said.

“That’s all Andrew Forsman, he is very selective in what he has a crack at and you can see it showing in his strike-rate.”

Zame became associated with Forsman through now Sydney-based trainer Bjorn Baker.

Zame Bart

While Group One targets await Aegon, Zame said he would leave the planning to his trainers.

“They see him every day and we will go with their judgement. They have got a lot of things right with us over the last few years so we are going to stick with that strategy.”

– NZ Racing Desk

Aegon “pleasantly surprised” his connections.

It’s a night to remember for Jo There would be few people who visit the winner’s circle at Cambridge Raceway more than Jo Stevens, but on Saturday night it was for different reasons.

The Waipā trainer is usually busy interviewing drivers post-race for Cambridge Raceway’s social media channels, however, on Saturday she was in the winner’s photo three times.

It was the first time Stevens had recorded a winning treble.

Griffins Hall kicked-off the night in winning fashion for the barn when taking out the opening race on the card, the Tim Hall Farrier Services Trot (2700m).

The son of Angus Hall looked to feature in his last start before breaking in the closing stages and Stevens said she was delighted to finally get a winning result for his large group of owners.

Stablemate Major Rage recorded the barn’s second victory of the night when victorious in the Friday Night Is Steak Night

@ The Clubhouse Mobile Pace (2200m).

It was the five-year-old mare’s first start for the stable and Stevens said she was quietly confident heading into the race.

The highlight for Stevens was yet to come.

Promising trotter Rosie was making her debut in the Candy and Jase 40…Really Trot (2200m) and the four-year-old won by threequarters of a length over Demolition Man. Stevens owns Rosie with partner Dylan Ferguson, who drove the mare.

“We did go into the night thinking she was the best of our three chances so when the other two won I thought ‘is the best one going to go pear-shaped?’

Stevens believes Rosie has a bright future.

“I think this is just the start for her, we think a lot of her,” Stevens said.

Stevens was quick to deflect the spotlight for the victories.

“Peter Ferguson (driver) does so much for me. I wouldn’t be able to do it without him,”

Stevens said.

“As well as Peter and Dylan, (trainer) Graeme Rogerson is also a big help. Rosie has been over with Dylan (Rogerson’s stable foreman) the last couple of weeks because we only have the three horses in work and she needed to work amongst other horses.

“After that horrible weather on Monday night we took Griffins Hall and Major Rage over to his track to fast work because his track is incredible. Without people like him I wouldn’t be able to do it as well.”

While Stevens was overjoyed with the success of her stable on Saturday night, she said she was run ragged trying to keep up with her social media commitments for Cambridge Raceway. “…I didn’t even know where I was or what I was doing half the time. I missed a couple of interviews because I was in the swab box, which is a pretty good problem to have.”

- Joshua Smith, Harness News Desk

Patient approach with unlucky Moana Chad Ormsby knows he was unlucky not to return from Hastings with a Guineas win on the board as a trainer, but he was thrilled to see Moana live up to his expectations.

Having just her third start, Moana followed an encouraging second at Matamata with a desperately unlucky and close third in the Gr.2 Hawke’s Bay Guineas (1400m), going down a mere nose and head to Aegon with Bourbonaire splitting the pair.

Rider Sam Weatherley was seeking an inside home-stretch run on Moana, but ran out of room with 200m to run and had to ease her

Chad Ormsby

back then switch her across heels to get a crack at the leaders late. The Ocean Park filly showed a touch of class to pick herself up like she did in a manner which didn’t surprise Ormsby.

“She’s always shown me plenty and I really rate her.”

Now that Moana has proved herself being stakes placed, Ormsby plans to take a quiet approach with her over the next couple of months.

“The ultimate plan is to try and get her to Australia, but there are some good races for her over here before then.”

Part-owned by breeder Tony Rider, Moana is a half-sister to Can I Get An Amen, who won earlier on the Hastings programme and she is one of a half-dozen horses Ormsby is training from part of the leased Cambridge property established and originally used by Alan Jones.

Ormsby also has plenty of faith in the ability of another maiden Najah, who was runner-up in two trials and an unlucky fifth on debut at Taupo before failing in the Listed Wanganui Guineas (1200m) last month.

Najah was bred by champion jockey James McDonald’s uncle, Alan Powell, who races the daughter of Power in partnership with his wife along with McDonald’s partner, Katelyn Mallyon, and his mother, Diane McDonald.

Ormsby also believes the one-race winner Fonts de L’Algar is on the verge of another victory after an encouraging third at Te Rapa last Friday.

Since he made a comeback to raceriding after eight years out of the raceday saddle, Ormsby (31) is enjoying mixing riding and training with pre-training and sales preparation and this weekend he will head to Hawera to partner the John and Karen Parsons-trained Kiwi Ida in the Gr.3 Wyndspelle Grangewilliam Stud Taranaki Breeders Stakes (1400m). - NZ Racing Desk

THURSDAY OCTOBER 8, 2020

with Jan Bilton

Kids’ Cooking Capers Foodies are spoilt for choice with the current abundance of TV cooking shows which also have the added bonus of enticing kids into the kitchen. And not just the older ones.

I know a three-year-old girl who insists on getting creative with salads and soups.

The soups are made with the help of packet ingredients and adult guidance. A few favourite vegetables make them unique (healthy) colourful creations and they are consumed with great relish, especially when animal crackers (see recipe) are part of the fun.

Holidays are made for introducing your own junior ‘masterchef’ programme — complete with a certificate of achievement. Suggest to the children they choose a simple dish they enjoy, encourage them to choose their own ingredients at the supermarket. At home, guide them when measuring and weighing ingredients. And persuade them to taste and comment on their creations as they go.

ANIMAL CRACKERS Super with soup or salad or as a snack.

1 cup shredded tasty cheddar cheese 100g butter, chopped 1 1/4 cups plain flour plus extra for dusting 1/2 teaspoon each: salt, ground paprika 2 tablespoons each: finely grated parmesan cheese, milk tiny dried currants for eyes Place the cheddar cheese and butter in a food processor and mix until well combined. Sift the flour, salt and paprika into a bowl. Add to the food processor together with the parmesan and milk. Mix well.

Tip the mixture onto a clean bench and gather it into a ball.

Knead until smooth. Cut into two equal portions. Wrap in

film and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180°C. Line two baking trays with baking paper.

Dust the bench with a little flour. Roll out one portion of the dough to 5mm thickness. Using animal-shaped biscuit cutters, cut out shapes and place on the baking paper. Add currants for the eyes. Repeat with the second portion of dough. Any scraps can be kneaded together, rolled and cut into shapes.

Bake for 30 minutes, until golden. Cool on a wire rack. Store in airtight containers. Makes about 16.

KID QUICHE 2-3 flour tortilla wraps 4 eggs 2 tablespoons milk 1 tablespoon finely chopped chives pinch salt and pepper 4 tablespoons frozen peas, thawed 1 slice rindless ham, finely diced 3 cherry tomatoes, halved Preheat the oven to 180°C. Use a 10-11cm cutter (or a bowl as a guide) to cut 6 rounds from the tortillas.

Line into 6 medium-sized muffin pan holes, pushing them in firmly.

Beat the eggs in a jug together with the milk and chives.

Season. Pour into the tortilla cases. Add the peas and ham and top with the tomato halves.

Bake for 15 minutes until the egg has just set.

Can be garnished with chopped chives. Serve warm or at room temperature. Makes 6.

MAC N’ CHEESE FRITTERS 1/2 cup dry macaroni 25g butter 1 small onion, diced 1/2 cup milk 1 cup grated tasty cheddar cheese 2 eggs, beaten 2 tablespoons self-raising flour 2-3 tablespoons canola oil for frying Cook the macaroni in a large saucepan of salted water until tender. Drain well.

Meanwhile, melt the butter in a medium saucepan. Sauté the onion on low heat until softened, about 3 minutes.

Whisk in the milk, cheese, eggs and flour. Add the macaroni.

Stir until thickened then remove from the heat.

Heat a non-stick frying pan on medium. Add a little oil. Add tablespoons of the mixture leaving about 2cm between each fritter. Fry until crisp and golden. Turn over and cook the other side. They are ready to turn when the mixture is almost set on top and when gently nudged, will slide easily in the pan.

Great served with salad. Makes about 16.
