Ricki wants to lose that number…
A New Zealand football legend wants to overcome a overcome a 30-year hoodoo month. Former All White and All White coach Ricki Herbert has renewed his harness racing driver’s licence after a break of 27 years – and he’s itching to steer home his first winner, three decades after making his track debut. “I guess there’s been a long time between drinks,” Herbert (59) explained. “It sounds worse than it is. I drove my first horse in 1990 but I had only 18 drives before I gave it a rest.” Herbert’s move to Cambridge three years ago reignited his passion for horse racing. He found that helping at workouts was his ideal form of relaxation away from his football commitments. Herbert co-trained harness racers with his late father, Olympic cyclist Clive Herbert, at the family’s South Auckland property after he retired from his professional playing career in Europe and Australia. The father and son combination trained 22 winners before the younger Herbert went full-time with his coaching career that saw him take the All Whites to the 2010 FIFA World Cup finals in South
Africa, and spend six seasons in charge of the Wellington Phoenix. Herbert moved to Cambridge in 2017 to provide a central location for his youth academy which has a dozen centres in the upper North Island. He’s also the Technical Director at Cambridge Football Club. This year, he joined the team at Kyle Marshall Racing’s
stables next to the Cambridge Raceway. “I’ve been working a few horses in the mornings for Kyle,” he said. “Everyone’s got their own way of relaxing – mine is going round the track and enjoying the thrill of being behind a powerful horse.” Harness Racing New Zealand approved Herbert’s driver’s licence in late November and he got his first chance to drive under race conditions at last week’s meeting at Cambridge Raceway. He steered Chalberg – which he part-owns – in the first event for trainer Luke Whittaker. Chalber was unplaced, but Herbert remained philosophical. “I’m still looking for my first winner but it will feel even better when it comes.” Herbert said he was elated to wear the white, blue and yellow colours previously registered to his late father’s stable. “Dad died 18 months ago and it meant a lot for me to take the same colours onto the track.” Herbert’s hoping to get his next drive either at the December 17 meeting or at the Christmas Eve meeting which traditionally draws a large crowd. “A win would be some Christmas present, wouldn’t it?” Herbert said.
Ricky Herbert steered Chalberg late last month at Cambridge.

Thanks to HarperCollins Publishers we have a copy of Stan Walker’s autobiography Impossible: My Story to give away. It’s described as a personal reflection on life growing up in a family where love and violence were horribly intertwined. Stan Walker had a fairytale rise to fame as winner of Australian Idol in 2009, but much of this story is far from fairytale – it is warts and all and at times a brutal reflection of life where violence is no stranger. It also talks about addiction, hardship and his battle with cancer. To go into the draw for a copy of Stan’s book which was co-written by ghost writer Margie Thomson, email editor@goodlocal.nz by 9am Monday December 14. Put ‘Stan Walker giveaway’ in the subject line, provide your name, address and contact details in the body of the email.
Jock Sinclair celebrated his 87th birthday last weekend - by winning the Te Awamutu Bowling Club’s championship pairs with Terry Young. Jock’s enjoyed his share of club successes in 45 years playing the game – he spent 20 years as a member of the Cambridge Club and switched to Te Awamutu four years ago. He’s spent the past three years trying his luck in the club pairs with Terry Young and had plenty to celebrate on Sunday evening when his family joined hm for a celebratory birthday dinner. Leamington based Jock is quick to point out he made an unconventional arrival to New Zealand from Scotland – he jumped ship in Wellington in 1954. He settled in New Zealand, had a family and with his paperwork put in order, spent 27 years managing a farm in Wairarapa. He and his now late wife followed their two daughters north to live in Cambridge almost 30 years ago The veteran bowler and his partner ran away with Sunday’s final, leaving Brett Denton and
Terry Young and Jock Sinclair – Te Awamutu Bowling Club’s champion pair combination.
Bruce McGill in their wake after scoring on 11 of the opening 13 ends. When the margin reached 17-5 after 15, Denton and McGill conceded. The two day series produced seven qualifiers from 14 entries and the semis produced a stirring fightback by Denton and McGill who over came Chen Naude and
Richard Death after being seven down with eight ends played. In the other semifinal Sinclair and Young beat Kerry McDermont and Clark Ambury 20-14 in a match sealed with a three on the 18th end. “People ask me when I’ll give up bowling,” Jock says. “I tell them: when I can’t stand up anymore”.
On the beat with Senior Constable DEB THURGOOD To catch a thief.. t was great to see so many people out participating in and watching the Christmas Parade last Sunday. I thoroughly enjoyed taking pole position and seeing so many smiling faces. It was a positive thing to be involved in after what has been a very difficult year for us all. In my last column, I mentioned the grinches who try to steal Christmas. It’s important to keep an eye out for anything suspicious and make sure it’s reported. Last week we heard of one such incident elsewhere in Waipā. A woman reported that her husband had not long left the house for work when a strange car appeared in the driveway. Someone knocked at the door and when she went outside, she found that there was a second person inside one of her sheds. They made up a random excuse and quickly left. It is very possible that having seen a car leave the address, they expected the house to be empty. Luckily the homeowner followed her instinct that something wasn’t right and contacted Police. Having been given the registration number of the car, it quickly became apparent that the vehicle did not
match the plate. The registration plate was found to have been stolen off a parked vehicle beforehand – definitely dodgy. Without this report, we would not have been alerted to the situation and the incident would have been recorded against the registration plate. Every piece of intelligence we get builds up an overall picture of offending. If in doubt, let us check it out! This week I also want to touch on scams briefly again. We’ve recently had a complaint from someone who sadly fell prey to a romantic scam. I understand it can be flattering to be courted by someone over the Internet. When that person lives overseas and has no links to your family or friends however, it pays to be very cautious. Romantic scams are of the longer-term variety and are less obvious than the one off phone-call or text. Offenders will spend months grooming their victim, to build up the victim’s emotional attachment. Once that perception of connection and maybe even love is in place, it is much easier for them to convince you that they are genuine and then take advantage.
If you’ve watched much “Dr Phil” on television, you may have seen the stories of people who find themselves drawn into paying large sums into their ‘online partner’s’ account to get them out of some troubling predicament – it could be that their Mother suddenly needs an operation and their own funds are somehow tied up, they need money to be able to finish their training in XYX trade so they can emigrate to be with their victim, or simply to book a plane ticket to be together once and for all. This doesn’t just happen on tv talk-shows, it happens here too. If someone is asking you to give them money – specifically when that means transferring funds overseas, think extremely carefully and consult with a trusted friend or family member (or even your local Police) before doing so. Having someone with an objective view can be valuable and save you from financial loss in addition to the inevitable heartache. Next week will be my last column for the year. Stay safe and look after each other, Deb

Briefs… Rabbits in the gun Last week’s Cambridge News report about a rabbit plague impacting on Hautapu Rugby Club fields promoted a response – and this week extra firepower was added to the battle. Club caretaker Kevin Clark said a volunteer had offered to assist with shooting the pests, which are breeding at a rapid rate. Talks are also scheduled with neighbours. We also had an attribution issue in last week’s story. A Waipā District Council statement was incorrectly attributed to reserves planner Tofeeq Ahmed. We apologise for the error. Feedback wanted Waikato District Council is asking for feedback on a proposed Keeping of Animals Bylaw. “Our current bylaw works well but with the changes happening in the district, especially with new developments in urban areas, we want to make sure that our bylaw mitigates or avoids any issues caused due to the keeping of animals,” Monitoring Team Leader Tanya O’Shannessey said. For more information go to www.waikatodistrict.govt.nz Musical feast St Andrew’s Church in Cambridge will mark the last Sunday evening before Christmas with the traditional ‘Nine Lessons and Carols’ service at 7pm on December 20. The always-popular event will feature gifted organists Roz Robinson and Eon Malan playing the newly-restored organ, plus guitars and baroque recorders, and the Venite Choir, conducted by Ceridwyn Parr. Mapping starts Waipā, Waitomo and Waikato district councils are involved in a collaboration between 10 councils and non-council stakeholders to collect earth surface data to create detailed 3D maps and models of the landscape. The latest LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology will be used for the Waikato mapping, which will involve data-gathering flights from now until May. The data will be freely available, probably in 2022.
That’s the story, Cambridge!
Colouring competition winners Alistair Stokes and Ellie Harfoot got to join Santa and Mrs Claus in their float during the parade.
By Viv Posselt
Townsfolk came to the party on Sunday, turning out in high spirits to watch the 2020 New World Cambridge Christmas Parade give the colourful ‘finger’ to a challenging year. There were 36 floats entered this year, with participants dressing to the 2020 theme of ‘A Storybook Christmas’. Of the 60 or so vehicles involved, about 16 came under the Stragglers entry, giving those lining
the streets a glimpse into some stylish vehicles of an earlier era. The New World Overall Winner this year was Cambridge Primary School’s PTA float ‘The CPS Polar Express’. Other winners were Scriptique Communications, BestStart Cambridge (Scriptique Communications Preschools); Cambridge Primary School PTA (Cambridge Community Board Schools); Ignite Arts Academy (GW Scott & Associates Community Group); and Stihl Stop Cambridge

(Kaz Design Business). Logan and Nicola McKenzie, owner-operators of the parade’s main sponsor, New World Cambridge, said they were delighted with the support. “I really want to give Cambridge a huge shout out … while we were a little down on entries this year, the townsfolk really came out in numbers,” said Logan. Parade organisers, Cambridge i-SITE, thanked the many volunteers, participants and sponsors for making this year’s event one to
remember. “While this year’s theme was ‘A Storybook Christmas’ we recognise that throughout the world, Covid-19 has led to many challenges for people, so we’re very grateful to have been able to run our parade and set the scene for a merry Christmas,” said i-SITE’s Vicki Ewing. The winners of this year’s colouring competition were Alistair Stokes and Ellie Harfoot, who travelled the parade seated alongside Santa and Mrs Claus.
There was a touch of Tolkien during the parade as Gandalf the Grey stolled down Victoria St.
Youngsters were out in force, dancing and waving throughout the parade.
This 1962 Chevrolet Bel Air was a shining example of the quality of veteran and vintage cars in the parade.
Among the stars of the show was this 1938 Ford Fire Engine, taking pride of place in the Fire Service’s entries.

Gaylene’s a people’s champion By Viv Posselt
Cambridge community stalwart Gaylene Callaghan is all set for an easy-going holiday season after being presented with a box of pre-packed meals by Age Concern Hamilton Executive Officer Brent Nielsen. The presentation was made on behalf of Age Concern New Zealand. It declared Gaylene as an ‘honorary Age Concern New Zealand Dignity Champion’, officially recognising her contribution not only to Resthaven Cambridge, but also to the wider Cambridge
community. Gaylene embodies the Dignity Champion pledge, it said, by championing the rights of older people, by helping combat loneliness and helping build strong social connections. It was during one of those very social connections that Brent delivered the package – this one was the December 4 final ‘Elevenses’ of the year, a series of monthly ‘musically delicious concerts’ Gaylene has organised for the past few years. Last week, ‘Elevenses’ guests were treated to performances
Night lights tours for freedom wheelers
Cambridge Resthaven’s Freedom Wheelers, the mobility scooter club Gaylene Callaghan launched to promote safe and enjoyable riding among members, is holding a couple of pre-Christmas events. Gaylene has organised two chaperoned night outings in Cambridge and Leamington, starting with two Christmas lights tours. Each will last about 45 minutes and will be followed by a Christmas supper (bring a koha). The north of the river tour will be on December 21, with riders meeting at the Cambridge Town Hall at 8.45pm. The south of the river tour will take place the following day with riders meeting this time at Leamington’s Resthaven on Burns at 8.45pm. Gaylene said all scooters must have working lights. She has asked for those keen to take part to call her beforehand for safety instructions – she is on 027 408 1089.
by New Zealand-based international singer, Lisa Lorrell. The box of meals Brent presented to her was packaged by Age Concern partner Tomorrow’s Meals. An accompanying letter from Age Concern New Zealand’s Chief Executive Stephanie Clare thanked Gaylene for the valuable work she does for older New Zealanders. “I have heard you are a true ‘social connector’ and have so many strings to your bow,” the letter went on. “From starting ‘Showtime’ which connects people to the arts, hosting ladies’ long lunches, through to operating the newly-formed mobility scooter club, you help people stay connected. “On top of that, you work as an Age Concern local agent providing an immediate and muchneeded visiting service. I have been told you meet this ever-changing workload and need with passion and commitment. “Thank you so much for helping make New Zealand a place where we can all live and age well.” Gaylene, who handles community liaison at Resthaven Cambridge, started her popular Showtime Travel Connect

Saying she was humbled by the Age Concern award, Gaylene added: “I am so fortunate to be working in a sector which brings me together with elder persons whom I enjoy so much to
be with. My function as community liaison allows me to cover various roles in the community, including visiting people living alone which I do in conjunction with Age Concern.”

Michaela gets it write By Steph Bell-Jenkins
Michaela Allen always believed she was “no good at English” until her daughter Piper jokingly suggested one day, “mum you’ve got to write me a book”. Michaela, who is dyslexic, said the idea had never crossed her mind before and she initially laughed.
Michaela Allen
But she began thinking about it every day while out running and found it rapidly morphing into a serious project, as a pirate tale began to crystallise in her mind. “Every day more and more would come to me,” she said. “Eventually, I had this idea of everything that was going to happen and how it was going to fit together like puzzle pieces. I had it in my mind, that dream, and that kind of drove me onwards.” By the time she sat down to write, Michaela had mentally mapped not just one novel, but an entire series of four. However, actually getting her vision onto paper was “like climbing a mountain”. “Dyslexia was constantly rearing its head,” she said. “I don’t jumble words, I jumble whole sentences. So I’d write something down and then come back and discover it was back to front. “I would say I had to do three times as much work as someone for whom writing comes naturally, especially early on. The first book was the worst; it was nails on a chalkboard to start with. It was so hard, it was just like, why am I doing this? But I just had that clear drive to keep going. And then all of a sudden it started getting fun, and I started enjoying it, and my words actually started making sense. Putting that effort in actually worked.” By her fourth book she was cranking out two chapters a week. “I freaked out because I was reading my writing back and couldn’t find anything wrong with it,” she said. “But I’d turned a corner. I don’t think dyslexia affects my writing any more at all.” Michaela, who has lived in Cambridge all her life, eventually plucked up the courage to send the first novel, The Bonny Pirates, to London-based publisher Austen Macauley, never dreaming it would be picked up. “I thought this is absolutely ridiculous,” she said. “So I was amazed when I got a letter back outlining all the reasons they wanted to publish it.” The book is being marketed to readers aged 15-17, but would also appeal to adults, she said. “Right at the start it’s pretty hard-hitting... it is fiction but it deliberately incites a reaction from the reader. It’s a bit old for Piper just yet, but I’ve read her a censored version and

she loves it.” Having “caught the writing bug” Michaela, a product owner at Spark, has no plans to give up her day job, but said she would definitely keep writing in her spare time. She is already planning her next book series. The Bonny Pirates is available from Paper Plus Cambridge and Te Awamutu, and online at www.amazon.co.uk/BonnyPirates-Michaela-Allen/dp/1528981006.

Achievement House is on song Rise in library
By Viv Posselt
A party put on once again by Cambridge Rotary saw those who are employed or volunteer through Achievement House – as well as staff – welcome the festive season with food platters, a visit from Santa and toe-tapping music by Rotary’s ‘Bruised Brothers’ band. Cambridge’s Achievement House offers part-time employment and volunteer opportunities for those with disabilities, providing them with
occupational and social activities. Most are local, but some come from Hamilton or Te Awamutu. The December 3 Christmas party marked the end of a particularly stressful year, said Achievement House manager Neil Fynn. “Covid-19 has meant this has been an upsetting and challenging year for a number of people. Prior to lockdown, we were given assurances that the Government would honour the regular contract work we do for them,” he said. “That was a huge
relief to us. It meant we could go into lockdown knowing we would be solvent at the end of it. “However, the lockdown period itself was a very confusing and difficult time for many of those who work through us. Our staff kept in touch with them to check on their mental health and wellbeing, and make sure they were coping OK. When we opened up again, a lot of the industries that rely on us swung back into action. We have a huge diversity of work, which
meant we were straight aback into it. The only challenge at that stage was ensuring everyone understood the Covid-19 protocols around social distancing and so on.” The Rotary band – which comprises Roger Hill, Colin Davies, Greg Gascoigne, Bill Wilson, John Bullick, Chris Crickett and Kim Prichard – helps fundraise for Cambridge Rotary by playing regular gigs. It is current strumming and singing its way through a pretty packed December schedule.

staff numbers
More staff will join the team at Waipā District Libraries. Three community librarian positions, funded by the New Zealand Libraries Partnership Programme, will work across the district to deliver public programmes and support. The new staff will promote digital inclusion and support job seekers with anything from computer literacy to learning how to write a CV in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic. The grant is part of a funding package of $58.8 million entrusted to National Library by the Government to lead and support Covid-19 recovery work over two to four years. Waipā District Council community services manager Sally Sheedy said Council was delighted with the grant and looking forward to providing more support for residents. “Libraries are essential community hubs where residents can get practical support during tough economic times. This funding will go a long way to providing that extra help for our communities while we are facing uncertain times.” The new community librarians are expected to start in January 2021 and will be split between the Cambridge and Te Awamutu libraries.

NO PLANET B
FAITH IN WAIPĀ
On the verge of stupidity
The gift of Christmas
By Peter Matthews
By Murray Smith, Senior Leader, Bridges Church
Travelling on the Southern Motorway last night, towards the Bombay Hills, we found that we were approaching a mass of yellow lights and arrows telling us to slow down and move into the left lane. From a distance we couldn’t see what it was all about: Was there an accident? Was it more roadworks? As we approached, we passed a vehicle on our left which was displaying a brightly lit sign telling us that the right-hand lane was about to come to an end. Moving into the left lane we then came upon a much larger vehicle to our right carrying a much larger, brightly lit display, telling us to keep left. And then another. It was only as we passed this latest light-fest that we were able to see what was happening: Just out in front of the illuminated motorcade was a tractor with a lawnmower on the back, cutting the grass next to the barricades of the median strip. I’ll admit it was dark and I didn’t get a very good look, but it appears that this procession of three traffic control vehicles had been deployed to prevent us from running into the back of a mower which was taking a bit off the top of a strip of grass about eighteen inches wide. And a straggly, dry, thin, dusty bit of grass it was too. Surely this is madness? Just seal the strip and have done with it. Or, as my wife suggested, plant wildflowers and let it go. But no, here we have what must be hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of equipment, burning fossil fuels, driven by workers on night rates, arrayed against this bedraggled strip of grass up the middle of
the road. Such is the power of nature, that we must bring such force to bear on it to keep it subdued. One assumes, also, that this procession will march again at regular intervals to ensure that the grass strip does not engulf the road. Well let’s hope this is testament to a restorative power in the natural world which will be able to recover, in time, from what the human race has done to it. That is, if world leaders can come anywhere close to their recent pledges of climate action which might just give the planet a chance. I know I am over-reacting here to what is, after all, a common enough scene. But I wonder how much money could be saved, and CO2 emissions prevented, if there were to be a review of all such practices. Perhaps the available solutions to problems such as rampant grass on the median strip could be measured against the health and wellbeing of the environment, as well as the responsibility of territorial authorities to spend the people’s money wisely towards an optimal result for the community. As the yellow glare faded behind us, our headlights showed the verges on both sides rebounding, as nature always does - where ONLY PLANET it can.
Sometimes in history, people and situations which were not particularly accorded as being of much significance turn out to be of immense importance. This is true of Ruatara, a young man who held chiefly status among his Ngapuhi people. In 1805 following a curious penchant that he had for travel, he bravely signed up as a sailor on a whaling ship. Sadly, he was treated poorly and ended up the following year stranded in Sydney. Nevertheless he signed onto another ship, eventually reaching London in 1809. Ruatara noted English agricultural practices with great interest. He also ‘happened’ to meet an English clergyman called Samuel Marsden before returning to New Zealand in 1812. As random as these events may have appeared then, in hindsight they would prove to carry significance in the unfolding historical heritage of our nation. Ruatara, with his standing among Ngapuhi welcomed Marsden onto tribal land. As a result of this gesture, at a little beach in the Bay of Islands just over 200 years ago, on December 25, 1814, the pakeha preacher Marsden stood behind a makeshift pulpit constructed from a cut down canoe. He read to a curious crowd, while Ruatara translated… “I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all people…” “Kaua e mātāku ta te mea he kaikauwhau tenei ahau ki a koutou mo te hāri nui meake puta mai ki te iwi kātoa” Although unheralded, Ruatara became a key influence in the Christmas message being first declared to his people and ultimately of course, throughout our nation. Today this event has become somewhat

overlooked, but ironically the remarkable Christmas message itself is markedly overlooked too, often being dismissed as inconsequential, or at best substituted with other traditions that obscure the quintessential essence of Christ’s coming. This ‘good news’ first announced such a long time ago to a Jewish girl called Mary, still transcends cultural or generational divides bringing hope and joy to all people. Mary, growing up in humble surroundings, was visited by an Angel bringing the startling announcement that she would conceive a child supernaturally. Her baby would be Jesus the Saviour of the entire world…sent from heaven to live among humanity as the exact expression of God Himself - His death and resurrection would be the means of reconciling and restoring broken humanity. Everyone has strayed and done wrong in life. Because of Christ’s coming- a Saviour has been provided. The regret, shame and frustration of someone’s past, need not prescribe their future if this gift of a Saviour is received. The good news inherent in the Christ-mas message is that a gift is on offer…the gift of a ‘fresh start’…the chance to start over. The real Christmas story is neither myth nor fanciful concoction. This good news first proclaimed in Aotearoa 200 was that Christ’s birth heralds hope… opportunity for grace, forgiveness and wholeness. The life-changing transforming power of this message remains relevant for all of us today.

COMMUNITY HOUSE
THE AGE OF REASON
Time to count our blessings
Family ties and finding the threads
By Harriet Dixon, General Manager, Cambridge Community House
By Peter Carr
Let’s face it, it’s been a bit of a tough year. Some have had it harder than others. At Cambridge Community House we’ve seen first-hand the different ways people have struggled with the changes forced on all of us. From the complex spectrum of mental health impacts to the basic human needs for food and shelter, the team here has helped our community come through all kinds of difficulties. I’ve been privileged to watch my colleagues - many of whom are volunteers rise to the challenge, dealing with the needs of families who walk through our doors every day. As is often the way, the hardest circumstances bring about the best responses, and these have reminded me to count our blessings. Looking back over 2020 we have achieved a lot. Thanks to the hard work and dedication of our builder, Josh from Kit Markin Homes, the purpose-built extension to Cambridge Community House is finished, despite the best efforts of a pandemic and winter to slow it down. The completion of this incredible facility is a momentous achievement for our organisation and the community that made it possible. After months of working from home, portacabins and tired, cramped premises, we are already seeing the rewards the new building is bringing. A commercial grade kitchen will enable us to teach some core cooking skills to those who need a hand to get by on a tight budget. Our new school uniform room, with donated racking and fittings from Rachelle at Wardrobe World, will be busy in January as our volunteers prepare donated school clothing ready for the next academic year. And most of all, our community can come to a secure and welcoming environment to get
For several years I have been fiddling with matters pertaining to my personal heritage. The ‘fiddling’ part – in the earlier days – was because I really did not know what I was doing. It was mainly manual stuff searching through the St Katherine records in a library. These records were housed in the Auckland Public Library where the helpful and patient staff had to show me how to wind a neverending photographic tape where parish records had been printed thereon. A laborious and sometimes confusing involvement. Later, with the assistance of the Church of the Latter-Day Saints I became a little bolder although rarely got past essential details concerning my four grandparents, one of whom I never met. However, those Mormon records – regardless of one’s religious beliefs – were a good place to start. As time has gone on – and in the realisation of the dwindling number of years remaining for such research – I became bold. Luckily, the home computer had arrived and several software-based ancestries-related companies sprang up all aimed at persuading one to use their services and to dig around inside their bucket of information. All for an annual fee. The fees vary depending on the depth one desires to dig in that receptacle. So, I joined one of them and found myself aligning with a company that is operated from Israel. And I only found out that interesting piece of information when I had cause to phone them one day. But the depth and breadth of information held by these commercial search merchants is immense. There are heaps of details of good information that helps to create the family tree. There are also many, many blind alleys that one can be led down. Getting an alleged ‘link’ with a 15th century Yorkshire farmer is
the support they need. Getting here has been a long process, started well before my own time - I just celebrated my two-year anniversary at Cambridge Community House. It has been driven by the will of people who care and supported by local donors, including Rotary and the Cambridge Community Charitable Trust. Contributions have come from all over the community, people giving what they could manage and bolstered by funding support from Waipa District Council, Lotteries and Trust Waikato. Early next Wednesday morning it all becomes official. We’ll host a blessing ceremony and declare the new building open. Early next year, we’ll have a community open day where everyone will be welcome to explore our new building, what services we offer, giving us a chance to say thanks once again for your incredible support. It is support we continue to seek from our community, with locals supporting locals. At this time of year, we are busy helping people and their families get through the holiday period with the support they need. Sometimes this is weekly food, or maybe a gift or two to put a smile on a child’s face on Christmas Day. For others it is about ensuring a continuity of service for those most in need, to manage their addictions, anxiety or depression. Whatever their needs, we’re doing our best to help. You can help too. If you have a little extra available this December, consider making a donation to directly support your local community. You can donate funds straight into the BNZ account for Cambridge Community House Trust 02-0300-0053796-025.

not of itself proof positive that we are related. Hence the recipient of this information must be extremely particular about accepting the link. Notwithstanding that, on the strength of the information I had accepted as the truth, I visited about 15 months ago no less than 14 Anglican (country) churches in North Yorkshire and County Durham. There, records had shown that someone, many ‘Greats’ ago, had been baptised - or married – or buried. Sometimes perhaps all three in and around the stone towers of the church. Coming upon a 12th century font, the water from which had been sprinkled on the head of three generations my forefathers is a spinetingling moment. My family research reveals that prior to 1700 most people arranged baptism on the day of the baby’s birth – possibly due to a high risk of infant death. This trend has shown through back to my 14th century forebears. But the target of this research is to ensure that my daughters can hand over to their children the fruits of this work. Links to one’s history are important. So, if you are given the chance to dig deep into your heritage why not have a go? The software that you can use has enormous depth. It is easy to produce printed family trees which can become interesting discussion points when generations of families meet at special times such as Christmas. I am continually saddened by the shredding of family ties brought about by the multiplicity of marriages in this modern age. The ability to hold them together is a target for us all.

Remembering those lost Cambridge Funerals hosted about 60 of their bereaved families earlier this month at the company’s first Christmas Remembrance Service. The evening event was held at Henley Hotel to commemorate the marking of the first Christmas the families will spend without their loved ones. After an introduction by funeral director and manager at Cambridge Funerals, Jono Gibson, family and friends listened quietly as the names of those lost in 2020 were read out, and were invited to light a candle and place it in front of a lit Christmas tree. Service segments were conducted by celebrant Raewyn Calvert, and St Andrew’s
Anglican Church vicar Father Malcolm French. The individual candles were lit from the St Andrew’s pastoral candle. Raewyn said: “We hope this will provide an opportunity to stop, reflect and remember those who are missing this Christmas. Despite all the craziness in the world, you will feel as though your life is standing still.” Jono said 2020 had been a particularly challenging year as many families had been unable to hold funeral services for their loved ones. He hoped the Christmas Remembrance Service would go some way to bringing some relief and comfort families Celebrant Raewyn Calvert and Cambridge Funerals director as they faced their first Christmas Jono Gibson with some of the candles lit during the Remembrance Service. without their loved ones.

Potter heads to Tirau
By Viv Posselt
Cambridge potter Diane Parker has again joined forces with Tirau-based gallery-owner Santie Cronje to put up an exhibition that will run from Saturday to mid-January. Their ‘Rhythm in Form’ 2020 show sees both artists use similar colour palettes in their depictions of vessels and the garden. A symbolist artist known for her whimsical, storytelling pieces, Santie settled in New Zealand in 1999. After some years in Cambridge, she opened Deciduus Gallery in Tirau, specialising in New Zealand art and indoor plants. Her work in this exhibition centres on still life inspired by nature, but with a contemporary twist. Diane will feature elements of her ‘Garden Series’ in the upcoming exhibition. She described the series as a trilogy with three separate components – form, raku and line – all inspired by her love of the garden and the environment. “Raku is a type of firing process I have experimented with over many years,” she explained. “In this series it has easily lent itself to joyful colours with the familiar white crackle, crazed surface as a background, allowing the shapes to pop with the black outline showing through unglazed surfaces. Stylised flowers have been created with simple line drawings – they flow on to the clay canvas and flow around the surface.” The show will be open from December 12, from 2pm to 4pm. The exhibition is a ‘cash and carry’, but available works will be on show until January 15.

What is debt consolidation? It’s the combining of several short term debts incurring high interest rates into one loan at a lower rate of interest. Who should consider debt consolidation? If you own your own home you can consolidate your short term debts into one loan by taking out a new mortgage against your house which is sufficient to pay off all the smaller debts. Remember - the cheapest money you can borrow is generally housing interest rates with your mortgage. What are the benefits of debt consolidation? You have only one repayment each month. You have to meet the repayment criteria of only one lender - your bank. Your overall interest rate will be lower - compare 4.25% on your mortgage with up to 22% on your credit card debt. The length of your term can be structured to suit your needs. Let me give you an example:A short term debt of $30,000 made up of two hire purchases, two credit cards and a personal loan may cost $1,200 per month in repayments. Consolidate this debt into a home mortgage and the repayments will come down to approx $180 per month over a 30 year term. Pay $580 per month over a five year term and the repayments are reduced by more than half and the $30,000 debt can be paid off in full in five years! If you would like to talk about consolidating debt, please call me at Yes Mortgages on 823 4531 or 021 783 266.

How to feed 10 billion By Simon Edwards
Meat and dairy will continue to play a major role in the world’s food production systems if we’re to deliver adequate nutrition to a growing world population. That was the core message Dr Nick Smith of the Massey University-based Riddet Institute’s Sustainable Nutrition Initiative (SNI) delivered to the 400 farmers, horticulturalists, government and sector representatives at the Primary Industries NZ summit in Wellington last month. He said while the world grapples with climate change and protecting water and other resources, there is also the massive challenge of feeding a global population projected to jump from today’s 7.8 billion to nearly 10 billion by 2050. He said 820 million people are malnourished or starving, while many more than that in developed nations are obese. The Ridett Institute, described as New Zealand’s food science and nutrition centre of excellence, believes ‘nutrition for all’ should mean enough food produced to deliver: • Sufficient energy, macronutrients and micronutrients • Distribution and affordability, so all have access • Sufficient production to cope with adverse events – a particularly apt measure this year given the COVID-19 pandemic. “Regardless how sustainable it is or isn’t from climate change and other perspectives, it’s not sustainable if it falls at that first hurdle,” Dr Smith said. Delving into markers for affordability and nutrition on a per individual basis, the SNI scientists and researchers developed a linear optimisation programme model using USA supermarket food data and recommended daily intakes of 28 nutrients. “In particular, we wanted to know whether animal-based nutrients played a part of least-cost diets. Were they essential? The answer was ‘yes, absolutely’.” The model found that a nutritionally adequate diet could be achieved at $US 1.98 per day, though it would not be recommended long-term.
Animal-sourced nutrients, in particular from dairy, always featured in the least-cost diet. “The reasons are largely about nutrient density. It is very challenging, particularly at large population scale, to achieve adequate nutrition without animal-sourced nutrients.” He said as well as enhanced bio-availability (ability of the human body to use) of micronutrients and trace elements from meat, dairy and eggs, there is also much lower nutrient density in planted-sourced foods, meaning a person has to eat larger volumes. To investigate when a plant-sourced diet would kick in as lowest priced, SNI used
the model to increase the price of animalsourced nutrients as a component of an adequate diet. “The price of meat had to double before it disappeared from the (most affordable) diet; the milk price had to increase eight times, and eggs tenfold,” Dr Smith said. The cheapest plant food diet was $US3.61. The SNI researchers are now working on inputting New Zealand supermarket data. It’s not as simple as making currency comparisons; “we know that food prices are substantially different here. “I would expect to see the least cost diet
point come up a bit but I would also expect to see the same foods represented in that diet,” Dr Smith said. Though acknowledging lab-grown proteins was not his area of expertise, Dr Smith said what he did know, and what he’d gleaned from the experts at the Rideitt Institute who were working in that sphere, indicated to him that “alternative processes like that are not likely to completely disrupt the global food system in the next 10 years, and maybe within 20-30 years, because of issues such as scalability and also social acceptance [of those foods].”
A graphic depiction of the complexity of global food systems was shown as Dr Nick Smith of the Ridett Institute addressed the Primary Industries NZ Summit at Te Papa in November.

New trust promote sculpture park

The future of The Sculpture Park at Waitakaruru Arboretum in Tauwhare is looking brighter with the recent formation of a new charitable trust. The Art-in-Nature Arboretum Trust was set up in mid-November, tasked with helping the park achieve its potential through raising its profile and recognising it as a regional resource of botanical, cultural and recreational significance. The new Trust Board met for the first time on November 27. It elected Rob Graham and Felicity Campbell as co-chairs, Ian McKim as treasurer, and Simon Reynolds to cover marketing and creative liaison. The park’s founders and owners, Dorothy and John Wakeling took on the roles of trust secretary and arboretum curator respectively. It was about 30 years ago that the Wakelings developed The Sculpture Park and Arboretum from a disused quarry in Scotsman’s Valley Rd. Making the best of its natural features, the couple turned the space into a 17.5-hectare ‘artin-nature’ trail that also displays more than 20,000 trees and shrubs from around the world. Its value is recognised both for its global biodiversity and as one of New Zealand’s largest outdoor galleries. Until Covid-19 hit, it attracted over 10,000 visitors a year, almost a quarter of them international. The inaugural board includes trustees with a range of expertise
and skills to contribute to the park’s operations, Dorothy explained. She said they hoped to include a local authority representative in due course. “We want this charitable trust to drive more initiatives to promote creative and environmental inspiration at the park.” The Trust’s primary purpose includes managing the tree collection for carbon sequestration and global biodiversity; curating the sculpture collection; providing ongoing rehabilitation and management of the site; offering an accessible and safe recreational space with creative resources and space for art-in-nature education; and recognising that the park’s long-term protection ultimately relies on a sound business proposition. Dorothy said the Board would be tasked with developing a plan to increase visitor numbers and potentially reach a self-sustaining income. The park needs to increase its income to cover the cost of maintenance, she explained. Entry fees contribute to maintenance costs, but are not enough, particularly with the loss of international tourists. In 2018, the Wakelings initiated a ‘Share the Park’ campaign in which presentations were made to the regional council and the four surrounding local authorities to win support for the park’s maintenance, with the goal of it becoming the equivalent of
a free-to-enter regional park. Many visitors to the park come from Hamilton, Cambridge and Morrinsville. “We wanted to work with the local authorities, but that didn’t get as far as we would have liked,” Dorothy said. “It has become even more apparent now, with Covid-19, that all local authorities are having greater call on their
budgeting. We are not expecting to be able to progress that at this stage.” The formation of the Trust is seen as a way to secure the park’s future, she said, with direct partnerships involving local authority and corporate backing, volunteers, donations, and probono professional contributions vital to that end goal.
The park features numerous treeenclosed spaces, cliffs, rocks, a stream, ponds and waterfalls. It is a popular venue for families, with interactive activities for all ages, and hosts annual programme of exhibitions and open weekends in support of various charities.

Walking the talk on climate change
THURSDAY DECEMBER 10, 2020

CAMBRIDGE NEWS | 17
By Andrew Hoggard, President Federated Farmers of New Zealand
Our milk numbers add up.
With the government declaring a climate emergency, it’s timely to recap what actions farmers are taking to further reduce agriculture’s environmental footprint. I say ‘further reduce’ deliberately. We’re already ahead of many other dairy and meat producing nations on the greenhouse gas front. While the global average for emissions from milk production, processing, and transport is estimated at 2.4kg carbon dioxide equivalent per litre of milk, Kiwi dairy farmers are about 60 per cent more emissions efficient. The emissions from a litre of milk produced here are estimated at between 0.kg8 and 0.9kg CO2-equivalent. The average for Europe and the United States is 1.3. Reports commissioned by Beef and Lamb show the production of a kilogram of New Zealand beef generates 22kg of carbon dioxide equivalent, and 1kg of lamb generates 19kg of CO2equivalent. The global median is 26.6kg for a kilo of beef and 25.6kg for a kilo of lamb. A 2009 study found New Zealand lamb exporting to the UK had a lower carbon footprint than the locally produced lamb – even after factoring in the emissions from shipping the meat to Europe. Despite these credentials, Federated Farmers supports the New Zealand economy and agriculture sector achieving the ambitious goal of becoming warming neutral by 2050. After all, our farmers are on the front line of feeling the impacts of climate
change, with farmers battling through droughts, floods and fires in 2020. Last year, we were pleased to see the government accept the latest science that biogenic methane does not need to be reduced to net zero in order to achieve warming neutrality, and a review is urgently needed to bolster confidence in the controversial alternative targets set for the short lived gas. While New Zealand farmers are already the most climate friendly farmers in the world, Feds are working in good faith with iwi/Māori groups to make good farmers great and great farmers even better for the climate via the historic agreement known as He Waka Eke Noa The Primary Sector Climate Action Partnership. In tackling the climate change it is important that policies designed to reduce emissions complement (not contradict) those designed to adapt to the effects of climate change. Federated Farmers is concerned that mitigation and adaptation policies are being viewed in a silo to the detriment of rural communities. One prominent example is policies that have incentivised the rapid blanket afforestation of productive sheep and beef farms on the East Coast of the North Island while not adequately factoring the predicted increased fire risk that will result from climate change potentially making the region hotter and drier. Another example of the current siloed
nature of climate change policy in New Zealand is the reluctance from the government to support, or even to enable, infrastructure projects that improve community water security and generate renewable hydroelectricity (the government has invested quite a lot of dollars into getting a community water resilience project off the ground in the Wairarapa, but I understand were hamstrung by the Greens. Now the coalition no longer exists, I hope we can accelerate progress on that front. Water storage infrastructure projects have the potential to mitigate emissions (by producing renewable electricity) and to improve New Zealand’s ability to bolster community resilience in the face of climate change by storing water during times of plenty and drawing upon reserves during times of need. Overly draconian restrictions preventing consumers and farmers from making up their own minds on the issue of gene editing are another example of a policy that has the potential to hamper New Zealand’s ability to reduce emissions while better preparing for the potential impacts of the climate emergency. We look forward to continuing to work with the Government and iwi/Māori as we seek to better measure, manage and reduce agricultural emissions while maintaining food production via He Waka Eke Noa. In order for climate policy to be long lasting and effective it must be carried out in good faith alongside farmers and not simply done to farmers.

Water conservation is paramount Tree deal sealed By Bala Tikkisetty
Heading into summer we are already drier than normal, so it’s necessary to manage water judiciously for the health of waterways, ecosystems and economics. Its efficient use is also an important element of sustainable agriculture. Long term rainfall for the Hamilton Basin (Ruakura) is showing a significant dominance of drier than median years since 1980. Twelve of the last 20 years have been significantly drier than average, with 2019 the second driest year on record, while only three have been significantly wetter than average. With summer upon us it seems timely to revisit the lessons learnt from past droughts so the farming industry and support services can collectively get through the current situation and recover when conditions improve. Water is lost from the soil by evaporation from the soil surface and by transpiration from the leaves of plants. The combination of these two factors is called evapotranspiration. Water is also lost as it drains through the soil beyond the reach of plant roots. Soil moisture depends on the balance between the water
gained from rainfall and the moisture lost through evapotranspiration. The intensity of the rainfall, the number of rainfall events, temperature, sunshine, wind and the amount of water vapour already in the air are all factors that can affect this balance. There has been growing awareness that our water resources are limited and there are multiple demands on this resource. We need to think in terms of sustainability of the recovery of farming businesses from droughts. Water harvesting and smallstorage technologies are key water-related interventions with the potential to contribute water for domestic use, livestock, fodder and pasture/crop production. If farmers and landowners are considering water storage, please first talk to Waikato Regional Council for further guidance. There are also a few management practices that farmers can follow to help mitigate the impact of a prolonged dry spell. With stock welfare a critical issue for many farmers due to feed shortage, grazing management is very important. Most farmers are trying to protect their capital stock. Farmers need to think in terms of sustainability –
recovery of the farm business from drought – and be looking at having a good drought management plan. Farmers with irrigation consents may note that water use efficiency is drastically reduced by irrigation systems with low inherent irrigation application efficiencies or by sub-optimal irrigator operating practices. By paying attention to systems, farmers can improve their irrigation practices and the amount of pasture produced per unit of water applied. Efficiency can be boosted by applying water more evenly or by differential irrigation over areas of different soil type – if applications are more uneven than the system design specifications, modifications to the system may be needed to rectify the problem. It’s important that water or effluent is not being applied faster than the soil can absorb to avoid ponding, runoff and excessive drainage, and to enable more even soil moisture levels across the paddock. Farmers could also consider pasture types or species that have inherently higher water use efficiencies than ryegrass and white clover. Lucerne, for example, is well known for continued growth when moisture stress
Bala Tikkisetty
stops ryegrass and clover growth. Other pasture types, such as tall fescue, are also potentially more drought tolerant. The important point to be considered here is the productivity of these alternative species under commercial situations. Of late, a phenomenon called ‘hydrophobicity’ is seen during drought situations. It’s an obstruction to normal soil water relationships and the phenomenon has significant implications for water storage in soil. It leads to pastures failing to respond to autumn rains, and delayed pasture recovery especially after drought and the subsequent constraints to winter production. Moreover, it has an adverse effect on pasture persistence and hastens pasture reversion. • For further information, call Bala Tikkisetty, Sustainable Agriculture Advisor Technical, on 0800 800 401.
Fonterra and Ngati Haua Mahi Trust have signed an agreement which will see the iwi establish a native tree nursery at Buxton Farm. The agreement was formally signed last week at the Fencourt Rd, Cambrdge, farm by Keri Thompson, General Manager, Ngati Haua Mahi Trust and Fonterra’s head of global sustainability, Carolyn Mortland. The event included karakia, formal blessings and speeches by kaumatua and Keri Thompson and speeches by Fonterra’s Buxton farm manager, Doug Dibley and Carolyn Mortland. It is the first time Fonterra has partnered with iwi for a plant nursery. It will centre on turning a disused milking shed into a nursery which secures Fonterra a steady source of native plants. The nursery and the wider project is a partnership between Fonterra ad the trust. They aiming to produce up to 100,000 plants there each year. That farm is also home to long-tailed bats, which were recently discovered in stands of blue gums.

Pests: lessons to remember COUNTRYLIFE
THURSDAY DECEMBER 10, 2020

If New Zealand is to meet its Predator Free New Zealand 2050 goal, those involved must fully understand what has worked in the past to combat invasive pests, and what is working – or not working – today. This was said last month by one of the country’s top ecologists, University of Waikato Adjunct Professor Carolyn King. She was addressing a public meeting at Cambridge Library where she spoke to her recently
published book, ‘Invasive Predators in New Zealand – Disaster on Four Small Paws.’ The book covers the history of rats, stoats, ferrets and cats from 1280 AD to the present day and looks at how New Zealand’s current conservation issues evolved. Professor King is an international authority on the biology of mustelids and rodents; she holds numerous awards for her work. She got her first PhD in Zoology from the University of Oxford with a thesis entitled ‘Studies on the ecology of the weasel’,
and later attained a second PhD, this time in theology, from the University of Waikato for a thesis entitled ‘Habitat of Grace – Biology, Christianity and the Global Environmental Crisis’. She said her book was aimed at those interested in New Zealand’s Predator Free vision, an initiative launched by then Prime Minister John Key in 2015 which focuses on the removal of rats, stoats and possums by 2050. This was not New Zealand’s first attempt at eradicating predators, she said: “The first

involved rabbits, in the late 19th century. They brought in at least 25 shipments of stoats and weasels to kill the rabbits, and over a period of about 30 years liberated some 75,000 of them in the South Island. A lot died, but enough survived to cause immense trouble. They thought they were doing the right thing with what they knew at the time … they started off with one problem, then ended up with two. The same thing happened in the 20th century when trying to control the effects stoats were having on takahe.” Prof King said lessons should be learned from that history. “If we are to make a success of Predator Free 2050, we must know what worked in the past, and what didn’t. Pest species need to be tackled in unison if it is to work, as removing one species often results in an upsurge in numbers of another.” She said 1080 had been shown to have great benefits to vulnerable populations if it was dropped frequently enough to break predators’ breeding cycles and prevent losing the advantage. It JULY 2020 was important to remove predators at a faster rate than they could replace their

Meat Greetings Why do Kiwi Christmas dinners still reflect chilly northern hemisphere celebrations? Hot roasted meats and vegetables are still preferred by most New Zealanders — even when temperatures rival those in the oven. Our families have already had their say on the menu and, instead of choosing their favourite barbecue meats, they’ve unanimously opted for the once regular Sunday lunch — roast lamb. It will be accompanied by hot ham and followed by — their choice — pav. How Kiwi is that. Unfortunately, lamb has become such an expensive, special-occasion meat that many cooks aren’t sure how it should be prepared. It’s simple – put it in a roasting pan in the oven together with some herbs and cook it on a low to medium temperature. However, choosing the lamb is a bit of a gamble. Some can be chewy and others melt-in-your mouth tender. Hence, I prefer to hedge my bets and cook it on a low heat for a longer time. It’s always wise to chat to your butcher or supermarket meat department about your meat requirements for Christmas. You might want a leg of lamb butterflied or a chicken boned. Advance notice will be appreciated. HERBED LEG OF LAMB 2.5kg leg lamb 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 teaspoon salt 4 large cloves garlic, slivered 12 small rosemary sprigs generous amounts freshly ground black pepper 1 cup water Topping: 1/4 cup each: chopped parsley, mint 2 cloves garlic, crushed finely grated rind 1 large lemon Preheat the oven to 160°C. Score the lamb as you would for a ham. Brush well with oil and rub in the salt. Make small incisions in the top of the lamb and insert the garlic. Top with the rosemary and black
pepper. Place in an oven pan and add the water. Roast for 3 hours. Meanwhile combine the topping ingredients. When the lamb is cooked, cover loosely with foil and a towel. Rest for 15 minutes. It will be easier to carve. Serve sprinkled with the topping ingredients. Serves 6-8. ASIAN-GLAZED CHRISTMAS HAM As a guide, a four-kilogram ham will serve 20 people as a buffet meal or 10 as dinner. 5kg half-leg ham with bone ham Glaze: 1/2 cup each: thick soy sauce, maple syrup 2 tablespoons char siu sauce 1 teaspoon five-spice powder 2-3 drops natural red food colouring 2 tablespoons whole cloves Topping: 1 tablespoon each: toasted sesame seeds, whole fennel seeds, whole coriander seeds; 1 crushed cinnamon stick; 2 star anise Cut the skin around the shank end, about 8cm down from the top. Starting from the thick end of the ham, carefully run your clean fingers under the skin and remove it. Leave the shank end intact. Line a baking pan with foil. Place the ham on top. Using the tip of a small sharp knife, score the fat diagonally, about every 2cm. Turn the ham and repeat the scoring at right angles. This will produce a diamond effect. Stud with cloves. Combine the glaze ingredients. Brush generously over the ham. Refrigerate for several hours to allow the flavours to seep in. If the ham is to be served hot, bake at 160°C for about 10 minutes per 500 grams. If it is to be served cold, cook at 180°C for about 45 minutes, turning and brushing with glaze every 15 minutes. Want the top to look more rustic? Turn on the grill for a few minutes to sizzle the fat. Remove from the oven. Sprinkle with the seeds and spices.
