Primo: Trish wins again

By Viv Posselt

Trish Seddon’s style of narrative sculpture has won her another award.

Her whimsical piece entitled The Frog Prince, complete with a heart nestled in a chamber, won the Primo Clays Hand-building Award at the 2020 Waikato Society of Potters 49th annual exhibition. It is an award she has won for the last three years; she also won a merit award at Waiclay last November, an event also sponsored by Primo Clays.

Each award nets the winner a certain value of clay from Primo Clays. Her recent win with the Waikato Society of Potters netted Trish $350 worth of clay.

Trish enters every year, and never fails to make an impression with what she calls her narrative style of sculpture. One of her pieces depicts a porthole surrounded with barnacles, containing a skull of a cat crafted in clay. Her winning piece at last year’s Waiclay National Ceramics Awards was entitled Coral Skulls.

“They are really quirky pieces – that’s my thing,” she said.

Trish, who lives in Cambridge, is museum administrator at Te Awamutu Museum. She keeps all the cogs turning seamlessly and is the always smiling ‘face’ at the front desk.

She has been an active ceramic artist for around four decades, exhibiting both locally and nationally, including in the prestigious Portage Awards, and finding her inspiration in nature.

Trish sculpts only by hand. Her work is intricate and detailed; many of her pieces deal with the theme of life, death and renewal.

Trish’s winning work is on display at the Excellence in Clay: Waikato Society of Potters 49th Annual Exhibition at ArtsPost, 120 Victoria Street, in Hamilton. The exhibition opened on October 16 and will end on November 16.

Te Awamutu Museum administrator Trish Seddon, who is an acclaimed ceramic artist in her other life, has won another prestigious award.

A rare exhibition featuring the work of two Cambridge-based artists – one a painter and the other a potter – will be open across two days later this month.

‘Just the Two of Us’ will bring together the work of expressionist artist Carole Hughes and ceramic artist Jo Beckett over the weekend of November 28 and 29.

The two live a stone’s throw from one another, Carole in Queen St and Jo in Alpha St. They are joining forces for the first time to offer people an opportunity to view and purchase their work, to ‘talk art’ in a working studio environment, and to go into the draw for one of Carole’s paintings and one of Jo’s pottery pieces.

Carole said she made the decision to organise the exhibition because of the number of events cancelled during the year due to Covid-19.

“This is something that we hope will give everyone a bit of a lift as we move towards the end of the year,” she added. “Jo and I have never exhibited before … we bring very different genres to this event.”

Two of New Zealand’s most talented emerging musicians will perform at the Te Awamutu Music Federation’s final concert for the year on Sunday.

Cellists Hyein Kim and Isabella McDonald are both senior students of the internationally renowned cello class of James Tennant, the musician known for teaching Santiago Canon Valencia.

Hyein and Isabella are preparing for several international competitions planned for December and throughout 2021, which are scheduled to see them compete from Gisborne to Harbin in China, to Prague and beyond.

For Sunday’s programme, the cellists will alternate works from composers including Bach, Beethoven, Schumann, Ginestera, Brahms and Prokofiev.

They will be accompanied on the piano by Francis Cowen.

Sunday’s concert, which starts at 2pm, is at St John’s Anglican Church, Arawata St, Te Awamutu. Tickets are $20 at the door, and students are free.

Jo’s clay compulsion came as she was completing a diploma in craft and design after leaving school. She has perfected her craft over the past few decades, moving seamlessly from creating domestic items such as mugs, bowls and the like, to more fanciful work, much of it leaning towards garden art. She makes little birds, ceramic flowers, seedheads and other wall and garden items, but also does exquisite kete (bags) and other decorative pieces with a uniquely New Zealand flavour.

Carole is a self-taught artist whose passion lies in brilliant colour and the Fauve style of painting; the inspirations of her travels through Italy, France, Serbia, Bosnia and Spain find expression in bold creations invoking street and market scenes, bobbing boats and groups of musicians. She has exhibited extensively over the years, and many of her works have headed overseas or hang in prominent New Zealand buildings, including the Beehive in Wellington.

The exhibition will extend from Carole’s home at 19 Queen St, to Jo’s home at 12 Alpha St. It will be open to the public from 10am to 3.30pm on both days.

Last week I had to do something I never thought I would have to do as a Police Officer.

I had to go to a primary School in the district to speak to some students about cannabis. Two students conspired to bring cannabis to school.

I must point out here that there appears to be no intention to consume it as there was no utensil present. One of the students had a crisis of conscience that he had broken the law and informed a teacher. I have to say the school handled the matter very well and involved Police early so a “stern talking to”

could be administered.

One of the students had obtained the cannabis from a parent, which brings me to my point. Parents: don’t make your life choices your children’s life choices. By that I am speaking about normalising behaviours that are detrimental to their wellbeing.

Rightly or wrongly (and I’m not being drawn into the debate that is cannabis reform) if you want to use drugs such as cannabis as an adult, that is your choice. It may be an unlawful one but is still a choice.

Don’t do it openly in front of your children.

Children see this as normal behaviour and ultimately when they become adults the choice is already made for them. It was a sad job I had to attend and one I don’t care to repeat.

Rail trial

A weekend charter service using Te Huia rail carriages could offer a night away in Hamilton or Auckland in January. It’s proposed the standalone charter will leave Frankton on the morning of January 16 and reach Auckland’s CBD two and a half hours later. A Sunday service the following day would run to return customers to their home destination. The date for the launch of the Te Huia passenger service is due to be decided by the governance group in November.

Walk of ages

An event traditionally held on October 1 proved a major success as it attracted about 400 people this week on its later date. The annual Global Walk celebrates the value of older people in the community, their carers, medical staff and families.

It was organised in Waipā

by Florence Shearman after being put back a month because of the Covid impact this year and marked the United Nations-designated International Day of Older Persons.

Going very well

Karapiro based Resolution Retreats has been named the best wellness retreat in the country in the sixth annual World Spa Awards. The awards were announced digitally on Wednesday last week because Covid restrictions prevented organisers staging a gala ceremony.

Sailing away

Learn to sail classes in Waipā will start at Lake Ngaroto tomorrow afternoon. The Learn to Sail programme is based on Yachting New Zealand’s programme and will run for nine weeks.

Retirement plan for Te Awamutu

Plan for a retirement village covering almost 10ha feature in a move to open up land on Te Awamutu’s northwest boundary for development 14 years early.

Waipā District Council is consulting on Plan Change 12 to rezone a growth cell known as T2.

The cell is designated a ‘deferred residential zone’ and slated for development after 2035.

The bid to change it to a ‘residential zone’ would clear the way for residential development to begin earlier.

The application is termed a private plan change and has been made

by Sanderson Group Limited and Kotare Properties Limited which has also proposed the retirement village concept.

Council’s district growth and regulatory group manager Wayne Allan said Plan Change 12 also

proposes a structure plan to be included in the Waipā District Plan, which would allow the southern half to start from 2021, with the latter staged for development after 2035.

“T2 is currently deferred for any development beyond 2035 in the district’s growth strategy, Waipā 2050, however with our aging and rapidly growing population, the need to provide sufficient accommodation is appropriate,” he said.

“In addition, with the uplifting of this zone, we will need to amend the rules to allow for the retirement village activities.”

Submissions on the plan change opened last Friday and run until November 27.

The cell contains 41ha of rural land. The proposed private plan change seeks allow 9.5ha of it to be used as a retirement village.

Retirement villages are growing in popularity – a major new complex is well underway on Airport Rd, Tamahere.

The Sanderson Group owns and operates two large-scale retirement villages in the Waikato and the Bay of Plenty In September Retirement Village Association executive director John Collyns​told Taranaki residents interest in retirement village developments was on the rise as people sought a “safe haven” to live post Covid-19.

A planned $150m Summerset Group Holdings retirement village development in Bell Block – the second built by the group in and around New Plymouth in recent years – will add more than 300 new homes, including dementia-care apartments on an 8ha site.

Christchurch-based Qestral Group

is close to opening the first home in a $190m development in Nelson.

They will be part of a complex which features apartments, a specialised dementia unit and Yacht Club.

In Prebbleton, near Christchurch, work is underway on a village containing 101 villas, a 56-bed care home and 16 serviced apartments.

Just last week the News reported that Waipā District Mayor Jim Mylchreest had praised the decision of the Freedom Group to build one of its lifestyle villages in his district and said he would like to see something akin to the new Cambridge Oaks development replicated in Te Awamutu.

Submissions on the proposed Waipā change can be made at Te Awamutu or Cambridge council offices, or online. For details go to waipadc.govt.nz/planchange12.

Waring joins tributes to pioneer

By Danielle Zollickhofer, Wintec Journalism Student

Tributes have been paid to Dame Hilda Ross with the unveiling of a statue in Hamilton Garden place.

Former Waipā MP Dame Marilyn Waring was among the speakers last Saturday at the ceremony.

Hilda Ross was Deputy Mayor of Hamilton in 1945 and later became New Zealand’s second female cabinet minister.

Over 14 years as an MP she fought for women’s rights and better health and welfare for women and children.

“Hilda did not muck around. She worked hard and advocated on every possible way for issues that mattered most to her,” Marilyn Waring said.

She congratulated the Theatre of the Impossible (TOTI) charitable trust which presented the statue after eight years’ of effort.

The bronze statue was created by Otaki artist Matt Gauldie who worked under instruction from Dame Hilda’s grandsons Colin and Campbell Ross.

The sculpture shows her in parliament, holding a copy of the 1919 Women’s Parliamentary Rights Act that allowed women to become MPs, while her other hand is raised, advocating for women and children.

In 1975, Marilyn Waring, 23, was running for Parliament as MP for Raglan and spoke at Ngaruawahia High School. There, she was introduced as the second Hilda Ross.

“At that time, I didn’t even know who she was - I had to ask my parents. And now, well, I got the Dame part.”

Three years later, Waring became Dame Marilyn Waring and Labour List MP Louisa Wall (right) with the unveiled Dame MP for the Waipā.

‘Tree Awamutu’ gets the chop The annual community event known as Tree Awamutu has been cancelled for this year.

Organisers have cited uncertainty around health and safety being the key reason.

Over the past five years the event has grown with dozens of “pop-up” Christmas trees on display at Zion Church during one week of December. Last year, over 1100 members of the public walked through the display and enjoyed the bright lights and creativity of the pop-up Christmas tree forest.

Guests were entertained with music, carols and free tea and coffee. In addition, children of all sizes had fun connecting with police and fire services — “proof that you’re never too young or old to be excited about making the flashing lights work,” organiser Phil Strong, Senior Pastor at Zion, said.

“The purpose of Tree Awamutu is connecting people in the community. Trees are designed and constructed to show the values, personality or message of its creator. Trees are submitted by businesses, families, community groups, churches

and schools who all compete for votes as they attempt to stand out with a clear message.

“With so much planning and personnel involved in making Tree Awamutu successful, we want to be sure we are doing a good thing while keeping people safe. “…for those who want to share the community spirit of Tree Awamutu, you have twelve more months to grow your pop-up Christmas tree.”

For more information go to Tree Awamutu on Facebook.

THURSDAY NOVEMBER 5, 2020

Tea and tulips to fight Parkinson’s Noel Coleman was just 48 when he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease.

He lived with it for almost 35 more years.

His life and those living with the disease were remembered and celebrated last weekend at a Tulip Cream Tea gathering of 50 people in Cambridge.

The tea, organised by his daughter Linley Steele, Sharyn Flintoff and Sue Keating is one of many Tulip Cream Tea gatherings over spring which will bring families and friends together to raise awareness of Parkinson’s in New Zealand.

Noel was remembered as a loving husband a father of four who was active in his community, loved sport, coached rugby, and was a successful manager.

The diagnosis changed his dreams for the future. At first he didn’t want people to know.

Parkinson’s is often thought of as ‘reserved’ for the elderly, not someone in their forties. As the condition progressed Noel had no option other than to stop working at a much earlier age than anticipated.

Mavis, Noel’s wife, says the whole family needed to adapt to cope with the challenges Parkinson’s causes.

“For 30 years we lived with Parkinson’s every day. We travelled that long road together as a family” There were many physical and emotional challenges Mavis remembers Noel had to face.

“He would try to keep his body moving even though it was slowing down and at times his body would freeze. His speech became softer and it could be difficult for him to communicate which meant he was hard to understand at times.”

For Mavis, the support her family received from Parkinson’s New Zealand (PNZ) – the National Charity formed to support families living with Parkinson’s, was a ‘Godsend’.

She says help was delivered with “so much empathy and knowledge.”

For 30 years the Colman family were able to connect with other families by attending Support Groups and events PNZ held.

Here, they were able to share

experiences about the difficulties they were all facing living with Parkinson’s.

They were visited at home by a PNZ nurse or educator, where Noel’s ongoing needs, such as managing some symptoms of Parkinson’s, like tremors, or struggling to move, medication side-effects, as well as various care available, could be discussed, during each stage of Noel’s condition.

“They offered us support whenever we had a problem.”

Mavis said.

“Without this, it would have been so much more difficult to understand the complexities of this debilitating condition. I am not sure I would have managed without them. They have sound advice and were always so comforting, especially as Noel’s illness progressed where I was unable to care for him on my own.”

“He loved being involved with

his family and although his “mask like face” hid his excitement and emotions at times, he definitely felt them.”

Linley Steele was just nine when her dad was diagnosed.

She says it wasn’t until she became a nurse and a mother that she developed a clearer understanding of the impact Parkinson’s was having on him, both physically and mentally.

She also called on the help of Parkinson’s NZ when Noel’s health deteriorated to discuss what the next steps were for his care.

Her most precious memories of her dad were when “I would spend a couple of hours with him and my twin girls when they were around two years’ old. Once his medication had “kicked in” he engaged with them and played as much as he could.

“I am glad I had the time to forget about the fast pace of life, to let him finish his sentences without rushing him, to make a cup of tea

“We pride ourselves on making old age worth living”

“We experienced each stage (of Parkinson’s) with him as a family, but we were so lucky to have him for so long.” Mavis said.

Linley said she was delighted by the success of the Tulip Tea, “Janine Mair the Regional Nurse who came to the Tulip Cream Tea was fantastic… she really made the event successful as she reminded everyone why they were there and what their donation would be used for.”

The event was supported by Comins Pharmacy, Over The Moon Dairy and The Remarkable Chocolate Co. Every year 2700 New Zealanders are diagnosed with Parkinson’s. It is a progressive neurodegenerative condition. There is no cure, but treatment is available.

Euthanasia: ‘they didn’t understand’

Euthanasia-Free NZ believes the country said yes to euthanasia because it did not understand David Seymour’s bill.

Ahead of special votes, The End of Life Choice Bill was given 65 per cent support.

Renée Joubert, Executive Officer of Euthanasia-Free NZ said polling during the advance voting period showed 80 per cent of New Zealand adults did not understand what the End of Life Choice Act would legalise.

“It seems that most New Zealanders voted for an end-of-life choice that is in fact already legal,” she said.

“The New Zealand Parliament voted down 111 out of 114 amendments that could have made this law safer,” says Ms Joubert.

“At least Parliament could have included the safeguards that have been standard requirements in US assisted dying laws for the past 22 years.

The right to life bill presented by Act leader David Seymour is now destined to be passed into law.

The electorate backed a bill many opponents believe contained too many fishhooks and went against a simple yesno question.

The country opted 53-46 per cent on election night to leave the cannabis cultivation and distribution business in the hands of the black market.

The result was not a surprise, though the closeness of the margin might have been, given it appeared pro-legalisation supporters, including Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, were reluctant to publicly show their hand.

Vibrant comeback for arts centre

By Viv Posselt

The success of the Rosebank Art Centre exhibition in Te Awamutu is testimony to those who have breathed life back into the group.

The recent exhibition at the Burchell Pavilion was the group’s third. Some 70 pieces done by about 15 of their members went on display under the theme, ‘Face of 2020’.

Linda Bannister, who is the group’s Friday convenor and handles publicity around their exhibitions and workshops, said about 260 visitors had come through the exhibition. Artworks were sold and there was good uptake in determining the Viewer’s Choice Award. That went to Te Awamutu’s

Margaret Choat, for her acrylic painting of a girl in India, entitled ‘Eyes of Innocence’.

Margaret, who has been a member for about a year, said she was particularly keen on painting faces.

Taking second place in the Viewer’s Choice Award was Angela George’s landscape in oils, ‘Still Waters’. Her painting of a kārearea (New Zealand falcon) took fourth place. Third place in the Viewer’s Choice Award went to Maryanne Wolter-Pryke, for her acrylic work depicting Frida Kahlo, entitled ‘Frida’.

All three belong to the Rosebank Arts Centre, a newly-invigorated group of artists who have brought the centre back from six to about 25 regular members. They are

part of the Rosebank Arts Centre Charitable Trust, a body that fosters and supports local arts and manages the old villa in Churchill St where they meet every Friday and where most of their regular workshops, supported through funding from Creative Communities, are held.

Support also comes from other sources, including the Te Awamutu Community Board.

Linda said the group went into recess about five years ago, when numbers dropped to unsustainable levels.

“The group went to around six members at one point. We decided to promote the centre to see if we could attract more artists from the community … and that has happened. We now have around 25 members.”

They meet regularly at the centre, spending several hours each Friday exchanging ideas and painting.

Members, who range from novices to those who have been painting for years, took part in a lockdown challenge that resulted in a well populated post-lockdown exhibition at the centre.

Rosebank Charitable Trust chairperson Sue Gordon said the group has access to a selection of resources, including numerous wellused books people borrow regularly.

“I got those from the Raglan art group that I used to belong to; they went into recess and the books came to me.”

The house in which they meet is also used by other groups, including Enrich+ and local artist Lee Samuel,

who puts on regular workshops at the centre.

The recent purchase of mobile exhibition boards offers another great asset to the centre, and the crafting of a new website is

underway. That, together with longer-term plans to run an ‘artist of the month’ competition, perhaps next year, all add to new moves to continue to promote the centre and its now-thriving art group.

FAITH IN WAIPĀ

Death: and appreciating life As I write this on November 2, it’s All Souls Day; a time to commemorate members of the church whose souls have left Earth.

It’s a holy day which is treasured for the Anglican church, though it’s largely been disbanded beyond this denomination, due to its association with masses for the dead.

We have a sombre service of hymns, liturgy, silence to reflect and pray, and the treasured time to light candles to remember each soul.

But what does it look like to remember the dead beyond those four walls?

In the Western world, as we’ve come to prioritise rationality and science, we’ve also blocked out the possibility of anything beyond what’s visible, including life after death and any form of spirituality.

I believe this has developed discomfort and uneasiness with death and remembering the dead, after they’ve entered a hopeless void of oblivion. That’s a scary thought - I certainly wouldn’t want to dwell on it.

But I think there’s something to be gained for everyone in remembering the dead and their journey into the unknown - whether it’s heaven, oblivion, or elsewhere - because it’s something that we’ll all do sooner or later, and to ignore the reality of it would be to strip people of part of the joy of living.

Of course, no one really knows exactly what happens when we die. Although we’ve argued about it for centuries, that’s a mystery only the dead could resolve, not the living. But we can at least acknowledge

THE AGE OF REASON

By Tessa Guest the reality of death and allow it to be more connected to our lives, rather than sweeping it under a rug everyday until we eventually have to face it.

In Te Ao Māori, there’s a beautiful part of a mihimihi where the speaker acknowledges that we all bring with us the spirits of our tupuna (ancestors), and that we stand on their shoulders, before they graciously send those spirits away. This opens the space for the living to go about their lives, and the dead to leave and exist within the spiritual realm.

For Māori, it is essential to acknowledge the spiritual world and remember those who have gone before us.

I think this is a beautiful thing to do

regardless of what one believes. Maybe that’s a vulnerable thing to do. Maybe it opens us to grief and pain in a shared space.

But it helps us to be more honest, it brings death into the light of day, it creates a new appreciation for life and those we have the privilege of knowing.

“Ka heke te roimata me te hūpē, ka ea te mate”: When tears and mucus fall, death is avenged.

Tessa Guest is a university student in Wellington. She is part of Blueprint, an Anglican young adults church that meets in the city.

NO PLANET B

From Beatles to banks

Plastic – how fantastic?

By Peter Carr

By Peter Matthews

In my capacity as the editorial-driven scribe for views of those of an advanced age I have had two absolutely different experiences very recently.

The first was over the recent weekend when in excess of 900 people (many of more than three score years and ten) drove their campervans to the Memorial Sportsground in Tokoroa.

They collectively listened to music from a period when Abba, The Beatles, Paul Anka and others reigned supreme. Not forgetting also Jerry Lee Lewis, Chubby Checker, Sandy Shaw, Frankie Valli and The Beach Boys. That period, where words were actually heard and understood, flared skirts enabled twirling leg-revealing excitement and in many cases the strongest beverage available at concerts had an extremely low (in some cases nil) alcohol content.

Picture the scene at the weekend in a large and well aired new sports hall. The toosmall dance floor thronged with older hips all gyrating madly though perhaps not as energetically as they did 60 years ago. But the attendees thoroughly enjoyed themselves whether making a spectacle or observing it. The pre and post musical interludes was bracketed by old (and new) friends sitting outside in their folding chairs, BBQ’s sizzling and a continual banter of historical memories. And all for an extremely minimal cost that suited the pension-encased wallets of the attendees.

The whole spectre was wrapped in friendly greetings of hitherto strangers all clearly intent in putting aside the horrors of Covid, plunging bank interest rates and

empty dreams of cruises or international plane flights that may never arise.

And it is those interest rates that bring me to the second part of this week’s missive. This morning we attended an updating financial overview from a major (and local) investment advisory company.

The company kindly encouraged us to place our hard-earned funds in opportunities other than the pitiful poor return vaults of the New Zealand banks, whose level and mix of services are dwindling weekly.

I have a feeling of compassion for those working in these establishments who have tried hard to portray their employers as the answer to an investor’s prayer.

But how can any banker, faced with the ludicrous situation of paying a mortgaging householder negative interest to take the bank’s money, portray an aura of commercial success? It must be a very hard sell with the move away from cheque books and the decision to decline to offer overseas cash services.

The specialist giving economic advice this morning gave a very good – and screen-filled – overview of the state of the world in finance, trade and employment terms. Despite the gloom that we were fed in March, New Zealand is bearing up well by international standards. A well spread geographically-mixed portfolio at relatively low risk is showing those of advancing years (more than they expected to live) that there is a rainbow ‘out there’ albeit not as glowing as it was a year ago.

Great news: Plant-based milk bottles.

Fonterra have announced new fully recyclable milk bottles made from sugarcane.

The press release shows the bottle nestled on a bed of green leaves, with the text on the label proclaiming “I’m a plant-based bottle”.

When I saw the ad on TV last night, I was properly impressed; this is great progress, and a fitting subject for my column this week.

The irony of the claim is conspicuous: milk not being a particularly environmentally friendly product. Let’s not dwell on that today.

The bio-HDPE is made in Brazil from sugarcane. Some might question, somewhat cynically, how long ago the farm on which the sugarcane grows was cleared of indigenous vegetation. But then surely all farms, everywhere, were once cleared of the naturally occurring plantscape to make way for the cultivation of crops. So, we can’t have a go at them for that.

The bio-HDPE is then shipped to New Zealand where it is made into milk bottles.

Mmm - I don’t buy grapes from California (very often) because of all the fuel which has to be burned to get them here, but I suppose shipping plant-based plastic around the globe is OK - if the resulting container is fully recyclable, or at least it would be if the resulting recyclable container was actually recycled.

It is a sad fact that for many and varied reasons a huge amount of plastic which could be recycled in this country each year is not. One of these reasons is public understanding of what can be recycled,

how, where, and when.

Another is apathy - a surprising number of people can’t be bothered. I could stick my neck out here and make a sweeping generalisation about older people who know they won’t be around to deal with the fallout and so don’t make the effort - but that would be a bit contentious wouldn’t it? Mind you, I’ve done it before and there wasn’t so much as a single letter to the editor from an indignant aged recycler so it must be true.

This plant-based bottle is not looking as wonderful as I thought. Oh well, at least being plant-based it must be compostable.

Except that it’s not. Here’s something I have learned from my research today: You can make plastic from fossil fuels which is compostable, you can make plastic from fossil fuels which is recyclable, you can make plastic from plants which is compostable and you can make plastic from plants which is recyclable. But regardless of your raw materials, it appears that you can’t make plastic which is recyclable AND compostable.

Obviously the yet to be realised ideal is plant-based, recyclable, compostable plastic.

Makes sense doesn’t it? Then even if it does end up in the landfill it will biodegrade.

In the meantime, those who are moving in the right direction should be allowed to trumpet their achievements, as long as we keep a critical eye on what they are actually achieving.

TE AWAMUTU NEWS | 7

THURSDAY NOVEMBER 5, 2020

Making a zero-waste Christmas Pirongia’s Ruth Webb is running a free community event in Te Awamutu tomorrow that will offer some creative and sustainable solutions with Christmas in mind.

The Zero Waste Christmas Ideas event will be from 7.30pm to 9pm on Friday, November 13, at the Te Awamutu Bible Chapel, in Chapel Drive.

Ruth, who describes herself as a passionate exponent of sustainability and waste management, said the event had been sponsored by Waipā District Council’s Waste Minimisation Fund.

“It aligns with what they are trying to achieve, and although it’s a first for me, I may look at doing more of them. I think there is a lot more content I would like to get through.”

Friday’s interactive workshop is for “all ages and stages of the waste-free journey”, she said. There will be demonstrations, including on how to make bees’ wax wraps,

make Christmas gifts and how to make alternate wrapping paper, swapping out paper wrapping for fabric.

Ruth already does a fair amount of recycling through her operation, Ruth’s Re-Creations. Much of her craftwork and re-purposed material appears at the monthly Pirongia market - she is adapting the same concept to the workshop.

“The message of zero waste will include elements of recycling, refusing, reducing, reusing or re-purposing, repairing and rotting, as in composting. Those coming along will first watch the demonstrations and will then get a chance to do it themselves.”

Ruth asks those keen to come along to register with her beforehand, mainly to ensure she has sufficient material on hand at the workshop to enable everyone to have a go.

More information, and registration, is through Ruth Webb at 021 131 6736, or email ruthstour@yahoo.co.uk.

Creative sustainability fan Ruth Webb is the woman behind Friday’s Zero Waste Christmas Ideas event in Te Awamutu.

Environmental, restoration and educational initiatives across the region have been given almost $420,000 from Waikato Regional Council’s Environmental Initiatives Fund (EIF).

The council’s Community Restoration Committee approved funds for 20 projects after receiving 30 applications.

They include the NZ National Fieldays Society, which gets $29,983.54 to help set up a predator control scheme covering Mystery Creek, King Country River Care - $10,000 to fund a project coordinator, National Wetland Trust of NZ - $35,000 to

funding a coordinator/executive officer’s wages to oversee restoration at Rotopiko/ Lake Serpentine near Te Awamutu and Waikato District Council - $22,600 for an environmental education programme in schools focusing on pest plant biocontrol.

Biodiversity Project Manager Judy van Rossem said the number of community groups and landowners undertaking environmental action was increasing.

“Both the number of applications and total of funds requested were more than double than average over the previous three years.

“Funding is helping to provide

employment for local project coordinators, hapū and rangitahi as well as specialist contractors to undertake plan and animal pest control. This work is then protecting our taonga species such as Coromandel brown kiwi, whio, bittern and New Zealand dotterel, and providing habitat for our native birds, reptiles and insects.”

Chair Councillor Fred Lichtwark said there were many worthwhile projects which had sought funding and decision making was always a hard task.

“We have people out their planting, trapping, getting rid of pest plants, and

collectively, these actions help improve our biodiversity by improving habitats, and with spinoffs for fresh water,” he said.

In July, the council gave $1.63 million in Natural Heritage Fund grants to five community groups working on landscape scale predator control projects. In August, 48 pest animal and plant control projects were given a total of $149,984 from the Small Scale Community Initiatives Fund.

Pull over please – the moment a southbound ambulance had to give way to a large truck.

Waka Kotahi’s spring roading projects had a St John ambulance in pull over mode last Friday.

The ambulance, with lights flashing, was passing a long queue of traffic at Lichfield – but its free run south in the northbound lane came to an abrupt end when the driver realised a large truck was coming the other way.

St John said given the number of road works around the country it has no arrangement with Waka Kotahi for ambulances to be given a clear run.

The Lichfield (Eketone) project caused major delays during the week. It is one of the largest roading maintenance programmes in the Central Waikato area.

Waikato System Manager Cara Lauder said debrief with contractors, traffic management

crews and project managers highlighted that traffic volumes were significantly higher than expected, particuarly over Labour Weekend, and a detour north had been established.

“Going forward, we want to reduce the extent of delays at our worksites, which may include detouring some traffic and completing additional work within the same detour. We will also be looking at ways to keep people better informed about what is going on.”

She said when Waka Kotahi prepared a traffic management it worked closely with emergency services, along with other key stakeholders, to inform them of the proposed work site and schedule.

“Emergency services always have full access through a work site and may be provided the site manager’s contact phone number to further assist their operations.”

THURSDAY NOVEMBER 5, 2020

New Zealand’s best performer at this week’s Melbourne Cup was The Chosen One, whose home track is Cambridge.

‘For a fleeting moment, I got excited…’

The Chosen One, 17, finishes fourth, earning $A350,000, at this week’s Melbourne Cup.

New Zealand-trained stayer The Chosen One was praised for a gallant fourth in Tuesday’s Gr.1 Melbourne Cup (3200m) won by the Joseph O’Brien-trained Twilight Payment.

O’Brien’s father Aidan again played second fiddle to his son, with Tiger Moth finishing runner-up, reminiscent of the 2017 Melbourne Cup, when Joseph’s Rekindling denied Aidan’s Johannes Vermeer.

Perennial Cup placegetter Prince Of Arran finished third ahead of the Kiwi.

The Chosen One, prepared by Cambridge pair Murray Baker and Andrew Forsman, finished two lengths from the winner in a race run in the slick time of 3:17.34.

Flavours

“For a fleeting moment, I got excited,” Forsman said after watching his charge present at the right time.

“I thought the winner might stop, but then I looked up and he was actually going pretty well and I could start to see our guy shorten stride and I hoped he could cling on for third.

“It was a very gutsy run and he had a great ride from Daniel (Stackhouse). He had every chance but he was just outstayed in a high-class field.”

The Chosen One has had a fruitful campaign, boasting a handicap win at Flemington over 1700m to commence the preparation, while he finished a game third

in the Gr.1 Caulfield Cup (2400m) leading in to the Flemington feature.

The son of Savabeel banked A$350,000 for finishing fourth in the Melbourne Cup. “Over that trip, with the blinkers on, he still raced keenly enough and that nullifies any turn of foot you’ve got at the end of the race and he was all heart and tried really hard, but he was just outstayed by those first three,” Forsman said.

“He ran into some very good stayers today and he has shown he is right up there with them.”

Forsman paid tribute to the role of travelling foreperson Aleisha Legg, who presented the entire in outstanding

order and has been away from home since September in a unique year, with prohibitive Covid-19 travel restrictions preventing Baker or Forsman being present in Melbourne.

“He was beautifully relaxed prior to the race,” Forsman said.

“Aleisha has done a brilliant job right the way through and it makes our job so easy when you’ve got a horse that is such a tradesman and a staff member who is so reliable and gives you great feedback. It has been pretty seamless from our point of view.

“It has been very straight forward and has all gone to plan and it is great to see him run so well.” – NZ Racing Desk

Bakes yule love

The festive fruitcake as we know it today dates back to the Middle Ages. In the 13th century, dried fruits were transported to Britain from the eastern Mediterranean. As a result, breads became light fruit breads then morphed into rich fruit cakes to be enjoyed on special occasions.

For years, making a rich fruit cake was a labour of love. Dried fruits needed to be washed, dried and pitted if necessary.

Sugar came in loaves and had to be cut, pounded and sieved. Butter was rinsed in water and sometimes rose water.

Eggs were usually beaten for 30 minutes. Finally, the cook had to stoke the fire in the coal range before the cake could be cooked. No wonder these treats were served only on festive occasions.

Present day thinking is that ovens are so sophisticated that cake pans do not require lining. However, I still prefer to line my pans with one or two layers of baking paper to keep the outside of the cake soft.

About 30 minutes before the end of cooking, test your cake with a thin skewer. If it comes out clean it is cooked. If you like your cake moist, you may wish to shorten the cooking time a little.

TROPICAL CHRISTMAS CAKE Roughly chop the tropical dried mix into 2cm pieces.

The topping should be placed on the cake just before serving. Freeze-dried fruits soften once exposed to the air.

Alternatively, cover the cake with butter icing.

1 cup sugar 432g can crushed pineapple 300g dried tropical fruit mix (from bulk bin), chopped 150g candied lemon peel 1 teaspoon each: baking soda, mixed spice 125g butter, chopped 2 cups plain flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 2 eggs, well beaten Optional Topping: 3-4 tablespoons sieved apricot jam a selection of dried fruit or freeze-dried fruit eg Fresh As chocolate stars, gold food spray Place the sugar, the pineapple and juice, chopped dried

tropical fruit, baking soda, mixed spice and butter into a saucepan. Bring to the boil. Simmer for 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool completely.

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Lightly grease and line an 18cm loose-based cake pan with baking paper.

Sift the flour and baking powder into a bowl. Stir in the cold fruit mixture and eggs. Pour into the cake pan.

Bake for 1 1/2 hours or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes then turn onto a cake rack to cool completely.

Optional Topping: Brush the cake top with the melted jam.

Top with a selection of fruits and chocolate stars. Spray the sides lightly with gold food spray, if using.

GLUTEN-FREE CHRISTMAS RING CAKE This cake could be drizzled with a thin icing, if preferred.

70g each: hazelnuts, blanched almonds 1 cup each: dried apricots, pitted prunes, coarsely chopped 3/4 cup glacé pineapple chunks 375g good quality dried fruit mix 1/2 cup gluten-free flour 1/2 teaspoon each: baking powder, ground mixed spice 100g butter 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar 2 eggs 1 tablespoon brandy 1 teaspoon vanilla essence Preheat the oven to 150°C. Line a 20cm ring pan with baking paper.

Place the hazelnuts and almonds in a bowl with the apricots, prunes, pineapple chunks and fruit mix. Sift the flour, baking

powder and spice over the nuts and fruit and combine well.

Cream the butter and brown sugar, until light. Beat the eggs until well combined then gradually add to the butter mixture. Add the flavourings and nut/fruit mixture. Spoon into the prepared pan. Decorate with the Nut & Cherry Topping (see recipe), if preferred.

Bake for 1 1/2 hours or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes then turn out onto a wire rack. If using the glaze apply while the cake it still warm (see recipe). When cool, wrap in foil and store in an airtight container.

CHRISTMAS CAKE DECORATIONS Firm festive cakes can be garnished with this nut and cherry topping and/or glaze.

Nut & Cherry Topping: whole or halved red and green glacé cherries, skinned hazelnuts, slivered almonds Glaze: 2 tablespoons sugar 4 tablespoons water 2 teaspoons powdered gelatine Place the nuts and cherries over the top of the unbaked cake.

To prepare the glaze, place the sugar, water and gelatine in a cup and stir well. Heat in the microwave for about 30 seconds, until dissolved. Brush lightly over the warm cake or over the nut topping. When cool, wrap in foil and store in an airtight container.

The highly successful Waikato Intermediate School League, now in its sixth year, also sprang into life at Tamahere Park at the weekend with a total of 22 teams registered to play. Te Awamutu Intermediate has teams entered in all divisions. In the Girls A Division, Cambridge Middle School, Saints United, and Morrinsville Gold all had wins.

Semi sports at sevens

Leamington and Hautapu both topped their pools then fell to Hamilton opponents in the semi-final of the Hinuera rugby sevens last weekend.

Melville Development, who went on to beat Hamilton Marist in the final, accounted for Hautapu while Marist came from behind to beat Leamington.

Bay of Plenty’s Matekesi, a specialist sevens club, collected the bowl and the women’s title.

It was a tough day for Te Awamutu as they lose their 3 pool games to Matakesi 40-14, Leamington 20-5 and Fraser Tech 31-0. They won their Bowl quarter final against Hinuera 19-10, but were knocked out in their semi final.

Drawn in a tough pool Leamington sevens team started well by beating a fullstrength Fraser Tech 19-9 thanks to tries from James Fraser, Jarred Davy and Cam Collins.

Game two was a 22-5 win over Te Awamutu. Jackson Neels 2, Davy and Collins score the tries. The third pool game against Matekesi finished 12-all, thanks to tries from Sam Monkley and Davy.

Leamington led 12-0 at one stage but was down two six players in the second half after a second yellow card was shown.

Leamington beat Morrinsville 19-5 in the quarter final with tries to Thomas Fraser, Davy and Monkley. Against Marist in the semis Leamington led via Regan Erueti and Monkley tries at half time, but was pointless in the second, losing 19-12.

The side coached by Cam Collins and Drew Bootten go to the Waikato Rugby union Club Sevens at Hamilton Marist on Saturday to defend their Division one sevens trophy.

FENCING

AIR CONDITIONING Jay Seebeck at the 2019 National All Dairy Breeds Youth Camp.

Pirongia is home to two teenage neighbours who are eager to become dairy farmers.

Jay Seebeck, 15, and Brad Seager, 17, live next door to each other and occasionally swap sale catalogues featuring dairy cattle.

“It’s quite handy being able to walk out the door and pass the catalogues over the fence once I have read them,” said Jay. Jay’s a Year 11 student at Te Awamutu College, where he is studying biology, science, agriculture, English, maths and outdoor education.

He spends school holidays and weekends working on the Te Awamutu dairy farm of David and Wendy Harker.

The couple milk 405 mainly Holstein Friesian cows on 252 hectares and own the stud Westell Holsteins.

“I get to help feed, shift and milk cows, and collect newborn calves. It is a busy time of the season on-farm,” said Jay. Jay first met Wendy a decade ago when he took one of the couple’s heifers to his school’s calf club day. It helped cement his career goal.

“My grandparents are farmers. They used to operate a dairy farm and that’s where I discovered my love for dairy cows,” he said.

“I have been so fortunate that Wendy has been such an amazing mentor. I look forward to spending time on the farm.”

Wendy Harker is on the board of Holstein Friesian NZ and heavily involved in advancing genetics in the dairy sector.

It has provided Jay and Brad with plenty of opportunities to help prepare and lead dairy cattle at A&P Shows.

They have gained skills in animal husbandry, showmanship and nutrition; they have even started acquiring their own dairy cattle.

“I bought my last calf club calf off Wendy and David. I paid for grazing when she was young,” said Jay. The cow, Westell Aftershock Seatle, calved for the first time last year. She had a heifer which he named Crozier Meridian Santiago.

A photo of Jay and Santiago clipped and showring-ready was runner-up in the senior section of a national competition run by Holstein Friesian NZ. First place went to his neighbourBrad Seager and his heifer Westell Alcove Lacey.

Wendy and David gave Jay another calf this year and he also owns a cow at Tim Barclay’s dairy farm.

He purchased another calf in partnership with fellow teenage breeder and classmate Boyd Ferguson of Te Awamutu last year at the Next Generation Sale in Hamilton.

“That’s four and a half dairy cattle in total. I’m keen to continue building my numbers,” said Jay.

Fiscal Fantasy takes a fence The Frank Ritchie-trained Fiscal Fantasy is on the hunt for an elusive Group One victory after winning her third Group Three race at Ellerslie on Tuesday.

The diminutive daughter of Skilled made it back-to-back wins in the Gr.3 Jarden Stakes (2000m).

“She is a little beauty,” Ritchie said. “She loves Ellerslie and she loves the fence, it was almost a picture of last year’s win. When she drew two we were delighted and I told Lisa (Allpress, jockey) to hug the fence until it becomes silly to do so and she did it perfectly.

Fiscal Fantasy was Group One placed in the Zabeel Classic (2000m) last year and that race is on the cards again for the six-year-old mare. – NZ Racing Desk
