Councils talk change Coromandel to Taupō was too big for that. “I think the answer would be to have the smaller councils consider themselves and their populace to have a voluntary kind of merger perhaps, Waitomo, Ōtorohanga, that kind of area,” he said. The changes are likely to put focus on Ōtorohanga, which has previously resisted moves to put it into the same district as Te Kuiti. But there may be support from further south in Taumarunui for a district which is based on King Country boundaries. Mayor Baxter questioned the community of interest between Taumarunui and Ōtorohanga. He thought it more likely an administration covering Waitomo, Ōtorohanga and Waipā would be considered. The call for change is in keeping with some significant moves by the Government. It has already opened the way for Māori wards – a move which has encouraged Ōtorohanga, Palmerston North and Tauranga to follow Wairoa, New Plymouth, South Taranaki and Northland councils and announce they will be in place for next year’s elections. The Government has also signalled plans to take the controversial issue of fluoride in water out of the hands of local bodies. It has also followed up a revamp the country’s tertiary education sector by announcing plans to abolish Health Boards and create a centralised health agency. If the moves to date are any signal, then a revamp of local government will involve more shotgun weddings than divorces. Waikato, population 500,000, now has a dozen councils and 136 councillors. Waikato Chamber of Commerce chief executive Don Good says that’s “12 replications, 12 governance bodies, 12 bureaucracies, 12 large cost-centres and 12 voices singing off separate song sheets.”

Mayors and councillors from the Waikato and Bay of Plenty will meet tomorrow in the wake of a Government announcement that local government is in for a shake-up. Local Government Minister Nanaia Mahuta made the announcement last week and signalled the biggest revamp of local government since 1989, when the Waipā, Waikato and Ōtorohanga district councils and the Waikato Regional Councils were established. Tomorrow’s meeting will bring together civic leaders from Local Government New Zealand Zone 2 - which takes in regional councils, and city and district administrations from Gisborne around to the Coromandel Peninsula and Tauranga, across to the west coast and south to Waitomo and Taupō. Waipā mayor Jim Mylchreest said he would discuss the issue publicly after that meeting. In Ōtorohanga mayor Max Baxter is nervous about the proposed revamp, but acknowledges the need for a review. The Government had said it would not push for amalgamations but he feared this could be amalgamation by a different name. He acknowledged that some core services of councils were being eroded, notably by the Three Waters reforms, but also believed Local Government had been consistently under resourced. In light of the changes, he acknowledged that unless councils were repurposed, they would become irrelevant. “If DHBs have failed, is local government the place for the delivery of health? It is a big beast.” Local body politicians appear unlikely to support a proposal for an Auckland style super council. Max Baxter said it would not be workable in such a large area. Waikato Regional Council chair Russ Rimmington said the region running from

Riders, with the Cambridge town clock in the background, compete during the cycle fest last weekend. Scottish rider Mark Stewart, in the light blue top, has been stuck in New Zealand during the Covid lockdown. Bicycles ruled Cambridge as hundreds of riders converged on the town centre for the annual festival. Members of New Zealand’s Olympic Track Cycling team turned up to ride with youngsters to create a real connection between the community and some of the fastest women and men in the world. Among the races on the day a mobility scooter drag race with eight competitors was a feature. The day also featured some of the country’s best BMX Track racers showcasing their skills. Cambridge’s Village Green was a hive of biking activity – from obstacle courses, virtual racing on Wattbikes, Cycle Art and face painting and bouncy castles.

Finding a hidden gem
This month we welcome back our adventure columnist Ceana Priest from Outdoor Kid. After spending the summer researching her new Auckland family guidebook, she is back to sharing local walks with us each month.
Picturesque Lake Kareaotahi /Lake Cameron (pictured right) is a surprisingly well-peat lake hidden beside the bustling SH3 at Rukuhia. The walk starts almost opposite Rukuhia School, and there’s plenty of roadside parking on Rukuhia Road. Follow the path downhill and turn right at the first junction to loop around the lake. The trail is often a little overgrown, but this adds to the adventure’s charm. Navigate your way past towering flax bushes and through swathes of grass. Be prepared for soggy shoes mid-winter or after heavy rain. There are a handful of viewing areas dotted around the peat lake – including maimai – which let you peer into the murky depths of the 3.4-hectare lake. Little critters adapted to living in the tanninstained waters can be seen darting through the shallows. Look out for the whirligig beetle, which scoots across the water using its broad, paddle-like legs in search of prey. On the lake’s northern side, an open grassy area is a perfect place for a break, and the nearby wobbly pontoon will entertain older kids. There’s plenty of restoration
work underway by volunteers of the Lake Cameron Care Group. You may see a small request on the entrance sign to spend a few minutes helping the group by pulling away grass overcrowding young plants as you stroll around the lake. Information Time: Allow 45 minutes for the loop. Accessibility: There’s a mix of dirt paths and grassed areas. No bikes allowed. You’d have to be keen to push a buggy around the lake because of the soft mown paths. Dogs: Allowed on leads.
How to get there: Parking on Rukuhia Road near SH3. Are you looking for more walk inspiration? Head over to www.outdoorkid. co.nz for hundreds more urban strolls, bush walks through to playgrounds and bike trails. Outdoor Kid guidebooks are available from Paper Plus and Whitcoulls. Keen to win a Hamilton and Waikato guidebook and discover more than 100 local walks and bike trails? We have two copies to giveaway. To enter the draw, email hello@ outdoorkid.co.nz before April 7 and let the team know your favourite Waikato walk.
On the beat with Senior Constable DEB THURGOOD The safety rules of moving It was great to hear how the community came together to remember our fallen soldiers at the local ANZAC day ceremonies and to then also see the spirit shown by participants, young and old, at the Cambridge Cycle Fest. Over the school holidays, I have had a few days off, busily undertaking something that many other people are also doing – moving house. With this experience fresh in my mind, I wanted to give a few reminders about security during such a time. Selling your home invariably leads to Open Homes with people you don’t know looking throughout your house. It is wise to ensure that any items of value such as passports and jewellery are either removed from the home or are well concealed so as not to provide temptation and opportunity for theft. If you are concerned about security during open homes, especially if your home is large, talk with your agent. They may be
able to involve a second agent for oversight of part of the house while it is open for viewings. As always, when packing and moving, remember to minimise the time that your possessions are in public view. This includes when boxes and other items invariably start stacking up in your garage. If buying big ticket items for your new house, be conscious of who is around when you are receiving a delivery/unloading and consider delaying the disposal of packaging to avoid highlighting what you have just purchased. If relocating your possessions to a storage facility in between house moves, contact your insurance provider to ensure your cover is continued. If you are moving into a house that has previously been a rental, it is a good idea to consider changing the door locks. With an increased pool of people potentially having lived in/visited the house, you don’t
truly know how many keys there are out in circulation. Moving in is also a great time to assess the general security features of your new home, including window stays and security lights. And finally, if you are a Firearms Licence holder, it is a legal requirement to provide a written notification of a change of address to Police within 30 days of the move. If you are a firearms or dealer’s licence holder with a licence that bears an endorsement to possess a pistol, restricted weapon or prohibited arms items; you must notify Police before the intended change of address of the arrangements made for the safe custody of the endorsed arms items during your move to the new address. Your firearms cannot be relocated into your new address until the security arrangements at that address have first been inspected and approved by Police.

Briefs… Submissions reviewed
Waipa District Council staff are still sorting through submissions on the proposal for a Māori ward n Waipā. The News will have coverage as soon as the submissions have been sorted.
No cheques please
Residents will no longer be able to pay by cheque at Waipā District Council after this Friday. Council announced the decision in March, joining New Zealand banks and other organisations nationwide in removing cheques as a payment option.
Farm company prosecuted
A Taupō based farming company, a company director and an effluent spreading company have been convicted and fined a total of $194,250 for discharging animal effluent into the environment from three large dairy farming operations. Waikato Regional Council’s Regional Compliance Manager Patrick Lynch said it was “fair to say that both the regulator and the wider dairy industry are very disappointed with the breaches uncovered across this substantial farming enterprise.” Gardon Limited ran an 1150 cow dairy operation at Oruanui, north of Taupō.
Workshops under fire
A taxpayer funded programme called Local Democracy Reporting – which funds journalists to work for Radio New Zealand, the New Zealand Herald publications and Stuff and some community newspapers – has this week lifted the lid on the use of workshops by local bodies. Local bodies have used the facility for two decades and in some cases have effectively stymied debate in public. The issue is expected to be reviewed by the Office of the Ombudsman. The report said Waipa District Council held 199 workshops in the last year and 108 were open to the public.

Fundraising scheme gains momentum By Viv Posselt
A new initiative linking businesses and their customers with a novel opportunity to support a range of community groups is being seen as a fundraising gamechanger. Called CommUnity, the initiative works by having shoppers purchase from participating retailers and merchants, who then donate between three to five percent of the transaction to a community group of the shopper’s choice. Behind it is former New Zealand international cricketer John Parker. The Waikato-based sportsman has spent much of his life fundraising to help community groups, and decided the time was ripe for a new type of fundraising initiative, one that would fill the gap increasingly being felt as fundraising through gaming loses its appeal. Taking on the role of CommUnity ambassador for the Waipā region is an equally energetic and community-minded sportsman, Sam Bosworth. Sam is a successful coxswain with Rowing New Zealand. Since starting his rowing career in 2009, he has helped various rowing teams win well at international competition level. He is now just days away from flying to Lucerne in Switzerland to cox the 2021 Rowing NZ Elite Men’s Eight, where he hopes success at the 2021 FISA Final Olympic
Qualification Regatta will gain the team entry to the Tokyo Olympics. In the meantime, armed with boundless enthusiasm for CommUnity, and tertiary studies in business and marketing, he is taking the initiative to businesses within his region – Cambridge, Te Awamutu and Kihikihi. “There are ambassadors for other areas across the North Island – Bay of Plenty, Tauranga, Thames, Hamilton, Auckland and so on,” he said. “Our job is to get merchants and community groups on board and raise awareness about CommUnity.” Sam said the app will list participating businesses, making it easier for people to support outlets that have signed up to CommUnity, knowing that a portion of their spend will go towards a worthwhile community cause. “Once the app is up and running, it will be very easy for people to use,” he added. “Each business will have a sign on their counter bearing a QR code, and all the customer needs to do to participate is open the app and hold their phone up to the code.” The first business to come on board in Cambridge is Absolute Coffee House. Owner Mel Teesdale said she was delighted to support the initiative as an easy way for people to give something back to their community.

Sam reckons it is a ‘fantastic idea’ and is happy to be a part of it. “We’re not doing this for profit, it is all with a view to helping the community. Besides, I’m doing a lot of networking with this … forming some great connections. It is really good experience for me.” Sam can be contacted for
information via email at A08@community.kiwi. He will be able to pick up his emails while in Switzerland between May 7 and June 3, but those needing information on the ground in Waipā can contact CommUnity’s regional manager, Travis Eggink at travise@comm-unity.kiwi in the interim
Johnson leads new trust Cambridge chartered accountant Kirsty Johnson was unanimously elected chair of the new Cambridge Town Hall Community Trust on Monday. Experienced business and community leader Rob Feisst will be her deputy. The seven-strong trust held its first meeting after signing a Trust Deed which will see them activate and manage Cambridge Town Hall. Johnson is an associate at Shelley Tweedy & Associates in Cambridge and has both corporate and chartered accountancy experience plus she has a strong interest in and experience of governance. The mother of two children, aged 5 and 8, has lived in Cambridge for 13 years. She is a former cornet player in the Cambridge Brass Band and regularly played both in and outside the Town Hall.
“I’ve attended many other events there, from concerts and shows, to Anzac ceremonies, long lunches and even donating blood. I consider the Town Hall a wonderful resource for our community and I am privileged to be part of the hall’s future,” she said. Other appointments made at the first meeting were that of architect Antanas Procuta as trust secretary and former Novotel Tainui general manager Dick Breukink as treasurer. The trust also finalised its submission to the Waipā District Council Long-Term Plan 2021-2031. Other members are: Jenny Cave, Mary Anne Gill and Maxine Nelson.

Masons turn up the heat
Councillor praise for staff
By Viv Posselt
By Blair Voorend
Waipa councillors praised staff for their work in the recent consultation process at their full council meeting this week. The community has presented a steady stream of submissions on the plan. At the meeting on Tuesday many councillors discussed how well the community engagements have been of late around the Long Term Plan. Councillor Andrew Brown said that like many other councillors he attended a number of community consultations and events around public discussion and feedback on the districts Long Term Plan and said that the work staff had put in was great to help communicate with the public on the plan. Councillor Philip Coles said he attended the councillor meet and greet night at Good Union a few weeks back as well as attending a consultation stand during the day in Cambridge and said that the feedback had been great. “I went to one of the consultation stands just outside BNZ in Cambridge the other week and it was great to see a large number of the community coming out and providing a lot of great constructive feedback.” This positive feedback has been highlighted after Councillor Susan O’Regan brought to light online abuse over the handling of Te Awamutu’s Memorial Park plan. Submissions for Waipa’s Long Term Plan closed on Tuesday.
Members from two regional Freemason lodges spent time recently processing and shifting loads of firewood they intend selling in support of the Casting for Recovery (CfR) programme. Cambridge’s Alpha Lodge 81, and the Te Awamutu-based Waipā Masonic Lodge 119 are working in conjunction for the first time in the ‘firewood for charity’ initiative. Once one of their number sourced an ideal wood source in Ōhaupō, the lodges joined forces to chop, move and market the wood to support the CfR programme. Now well-established in New Zealand, Casting for Recovery originated in the United States with the aim of enhancing the quality of life for women with breast cancer. It does that by offering free retreats that combine peer support with the therapeutic sport of fly fishing. Women all over the country attend weekend retreats where they are pampered with massages, offered makeup advice and more, and are taught fly-fishing by some of the country’s finest anglers. In early February, a donation of $4300, raised through the Freemasons and Waipā Masonic Lodge 119, was presented to members of the Casting for Recovery team who organise the annual retreats at Wharepapa, south of Te Awamutu.
Alan Read, Worshipful Master of Cambridge’s Alpha Lodge 81, said they were hoping the sales of the firewood, which
is all gum, will raise around $5000 for Casting for Recovery. “We have already sold some locally but hope we can reach our

Quizzers boost socks project for children
Thoughts of children heading into winter with old socks - or worse still, no socks at all - prompted Leamington business owner Debra Jenkins to repeat a charity sock drive she did a couple of years ago. Her first ‘Project Foster Socks’ drive was done after Debra met Linda Roil, founder of Kids in Need Waikato. “After that meeting, we started doing respite foster care … and I heard how some foster children don’t have socks, or only get second-hand ones,” she said. “The way I see it, all kids deserve new socks and undies.” Debra spread the word of her first sock drive through the business she owns in Shakespeare St, Mr Walter Barbershop. She
ended up that year with 500 pairs of new socks for youngsters in foster care, from toddlers to those in their late teens. With winter steadily creeping in, she recently decided to run a second Project Foster Socks, assisted by her colleague, barber Joel Francis. This time, they received an inspired boost from quiz night attendees at the Thornton Club, bringing the number of new pairs of socks collected so far to around 680. Simon Friend, who organises quiz nights at the club, had noticed an item on Project Foster Socks in a recent Cambridge Neighbourhood Support Group newsletter, and decided to ask the club’s 10 quiz teams to help. “I pulled rank at the next club night and
Waipā District Council has launched a new podcast series which focuses on hot topics from around the District. The What’s new Waipā? podcast will regularly share local views, information and opinions about topics that are important to residents. Communications and Engagement Manager Charlotte FitzPatrick said podcasts are becoming increasingly popular so they’re a great new way to engage with residents. They also provide an opportunity to hear
in-depth views from local guests who are knowledgeable and passionate. Presented by ex-journalist Jeanette Tyrrell, the first episode discusses the environment and sustainability and what that looks like for Waipā, with Councillors Clare St Pierre and Susan O’Regan.

asked members to each bring in a pair of new socks. I thought we’d get between 10 and 12 pairs … I was really surprised when we ended up with 135 pairs!” Debra said the initiative will keep going for now, as she busies herself with Pink
Ribbon Day. Further down the track, she is planning an ‘Undie 500’ drive, a play on the ‘Indie 500’, and a project she hopes will bring in new underwear for local foster children. Why Debra’s pushing pink – See page 13.

With the vaccine, it’s all possible Our immunity against COVID-19 is incredibly important. Because it brings more possibilities for us all. Possibilities like keeping our way of life intact; our kids being able to learn without worrying about interruptions; or being able to plan gatherings with whānau, or team trips away, without fear of them getting cancelled. Immunity can bring us all this, as well as more certainty in our jobs, and more confidence in our businesses. With the strength of an immune system made up of all of us, together we can, and will, create more freedom, more options, and more possibilities for everyone.
The COVID-19 vaccine is a triumph of modern science Creating the COVID-19 vaccines took a global effort. The world united to take on the challenge, with medical professionals and scientists from across the planet working thousands of hours to bring it to us quickly and safely.

Packed services for Anzacs By Viv Posselt
Hundreds of people attended Sunday’s Anzac Day services in Cambridge, signifying a return to normality after two years in which commemorations were dulled by key events. The Christchurch mosque attack led to muted Anzac services in 2019, and last year’s Covid-19 lockdown
saw individuals and families mark the day quietly at the end of their driveways. Sunday’s civic service in the Cambridge Town Hall was led by Father Malcolm French of St Andrew’s Church. Guest speaker, Cambridge RSA president Col (Ret) Tony Hill, said it was ‘fantastic’ to see how many people had turned up for the earlier dawn

parade and the civic service to honour the sacrifice and service of others. He said Anzac commemorations were held not to glorify war, but to honour the sacrifice of those lost and remember the values and freedoms that shape New Zealand and which need to be protected. He paid tribute to the more than 35,000 New Zealand veterans who have served in many different parts of the world, and said the nation needs to be there for those who continue to serve. “Our men and women are among the best-trained in the world,” he said. The packed hall was also addressed by Cambridge Community Board chair, Sue Milner, and by St Peter’s School students Meghana Gaddam and Rory Macgillivray. The speakers referenced this year’s RSA Poppy Appeal theme, “Saluting Women in the Military’, and Sue Milner read out a message sent from the Mayor of Cambridge’s sister city Le Quesnoy. Music was provided by the Cambridge Brass Band, the Mosaic Waikato Modern Choir, and soprano Elaine Wogan.

Is Inflation on the way back? By Peter Nicholl
FAITH IN WAIPĀ
Me…prejudiced!? By Murray Smith, Senior Leader, Bridges Church
People around my age (I am 77) can still remember when consumer price inflation was over 10 per cent a year and was a major problem. But CPI inflation in New Zealand, and in most of the world, has been negligible over the last 10 years and Central Banks have been trying to increase it rather than contain it. At its April meeting, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand’s (RBNZ) Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) maintained its stimulatory monetary settings ‘in order to meet its consumer price inflation and employment objectives’. The MPC did say factors such as supply chain disruptions and oil prices are leading to price pressures. They admitted these pressures will push the CPI above 2%, which is the mid-point of the RBNZ’s target range, to around 2.5%. But the MPC thought the impacts would only be temporary so took no policy action. I believe the RBNZ is going to be surprised by how quickly they will need to change their thinking and start reacting to price pressures that are permanent and accelerating. I chaired the RBNZ Monetary Policy Committee from 1990 to 1995 in New Zealand’s early days of inflation targeting. I think most of my colleagues would have regarded me as one of the MPC’s inflation ‘doves’ as I was more wary than most members about tightening policy. But compared with the MPC today, I seem to have become an inflation ‘hawk’. However, I don’t think my views or reasoning have changed over the intervening 25 years. Until a few months ago, one seldom saw stories about rising prices and a return of inflation in the newspapers in New Zealand or elsewhere. But I have seen a marked increase in such stories recently. I started listing these stories a week ago in preparation
for writing this column. Without searching too hard, I found these articles: Record high spot power prices. In the March quarter, 2021 they were over $200 compared with under $100 in the March quarter, 2020. ‘Price of everything’ set to increase: consumers face pain at the checkout’. Retail NZ says businesses cost bases and overheads are growing at alarming rates. The cost of freight on goods coming from overseas has more than doubled. The ANZ Business Outlook survey shows that expectations of cost increases are at the highest level in more than a decade. Timber prices and other construction costs have risen. Huge fiscal stimulatory packages in several countries. US investors are ploughing money into inflation-adjusted bonds as they expect consumer prices to rise. I have been involved in thinking about monetary policy issues for almost 50 years. I have seldom seen a period when the range of potential price pressures was so broad and many of these pressures do not look like temporary ones to me. The MPC said it would not remove monetary stimulus until it had confidence that it is sustainably achieving its objectives and they expected that gaining this confidence would take ‘considerable time and patience’. I don’t think it is going to take ‘considerable time and patience’ at all. The process has already started. I think the regret the RBNZ will soon have is that they didn’t recognise the widespread warning signs of inflationary pressures early enough or take them seriously enough.

Growing up in a fairly middle-class white family, never being on the bread-line or lacking the basic necessities of life, I was the beneficiary of vast unmerited privileges that so many miss out on through no fault of their own. I see that clearly now. Regardless of a startling revelation that my older brother imparted to me when he started Intermediate (‘Middle’) School - that we were ‘poor’ - I’d always been content. He based his conclusion on the fact that our Mum sewed all our clothes rather than buying them. She had made his school uniform and his shorts weren’t quite the same blue fabric as everyone else’s. He felt deep humiliation over being ‘different’ although he never complained. Attending what might be considered an elite secondary school, getting a reasonably expansive education and having pursued opportunities that followed, I’ve become increasingly aware that I’m indeed ‘privileged.’ Time and growth in understanding, has amplified that awareness. We can’t choose the nature or the setting of our family origins nor the ‘culture’ we are born into or spend our formulative years under. However, we do get to choose the values and the guiding principles that we live by. We are responsible for what influences we allow to shape our attitudes and perspectives. To those with backgrounds similar to mine, I’d suggest purposefully and humbly setting about becoming acquainted with subtle inequalities existing in Aotearoa, both historically and currently. I imagine it will be an eyeopener how most of our privileged and entitled life-styles contrast starkly with that of others, particularly Pasifika and Māori families.
The fact is, we do not know what we don’t know and many of us are not particularly keen to discover or become informed about how life has been for others, without some level of defensiveness arising. But ‘caring’ means becoming aware of how thoughtless colonialism and white entitlement spawned injustices and inequalities years ago, that still requires address today. Hearing about a school running a somewhat spontaneous lunchtime ‘sausage sizzle’ which necessitated unprepared families with no cash needing to participate with “IOU’s”- that is, unless you were a Māori family, points to the deep racial divides and inequity our nation has perpetuated. Recent Anzac Day reflections highlighted the sacrifices made by our servicemen and women in World War One as well as World War Two and other interventions. It’s a sad indictment that returning Māori soldiers after 1918, having shared equally in the ‘cost’ of battle, failed to share equally in the opportunities afforded for relief, employment and land allocation. This documented disparity reveals entrenched ‘favouritism’. God is no ‘respecter of persons’. In other words, He shows no favouritism and cares equally for people of every nationality and culture. The message of ‘Te Rongopai’ or the ‘gospel’ of Jesus Christ the Saviour, was announced as ‘good news of great joy for all people’. Without partiality. The failure of the church at times to practice impartiality and justice is indefensible. Equally, so is our turning a blind eye to those less privileged and marginalised.

Cambridge is justifiably proud of being the Town of Trees, and it is an important reason why people want to move here. The benefits of urban trees are not just aesthetic; now known as Green Infrastructure (as opposed to grey infrastructure – roads, buildings, carparks) trees provide ‘services’: environmental (cleaner air , summer cooling, decreased water run-off, biodiversity); economic (energy saving, improved house values); social (encouraging walking, social interaction, human physical and mental well-being). And the greater the total leaf surface area of the tree, the greater its benefits. But as new developments spring up in all directions Cambridge is in danger of losing its treed character. People want affordable housing so compact urban design is desirable. But surely there are better ways to achieve this than what we now see unfolding; individual houses
crammed so close there is no room for shade trees in gardens; strips between footpath and road too narrow to support a decent-sized tree, while many of those planted in recent years have sulked, been left to grow unsightly or died. And now Council, to its credit, is set on encouraging commuter walking and cycling, but who will be tempted to walk from their new home through hot streets to work, shop or school and then trudge home again, all hot and sweaty? We need to plan from the outset for adequate space for decent-sized street trees, determine varieties suitable to the situation, plant with care and then maintain them through their early years. We need better design, with narrower streets to slow cars, wider footpaths, separated by wider green strips for decent-sized trees that shade our footpaths and encourage people to use active transport. There is no need for compact housing to be a desert if we plan for decent-sized street trees from the outset.
Cambridge Tree Trust would like to thank Mitre 10 for their support for these monthly articles which are intended to raise interest and awareness of trees in Cambridge.

AGE OF REASON
OPINION
Mind the children
A Chamber perspective
By Peter Carr
During the school holidays our usually quiet retirement village resounds with the chatter and laughter of young children. Often where the parents have work commitments – a problem became greater several years ago when the government of the day decided that a four-term year was more practical than the previous trinity of educational grouping. But practical to who? Did anyone ask the grandparents who often and invariably are turned towards to provide shelter, entertainment, energy-draining activities and an endless supply of food? Not to mention prolonged use of their computer for games and physical activities that seem directed to inflicting material damage to the contents of the long-cherished china cabinet. And what of the grandparents who are innocently drawn upon by parents who have, sadly, joined the ever-growing ranks of the divorced? Where Mum often dictates who can ‘have them’ and when - which further exacerbates the split-driven pressure on the oldies. And often at short notice. Now do not get me wrong at this juncture. The majority of grandparents leap at the chance of being granted short-term guardianship. In return the kids rejoice in the reality of a greater freedom and ‘getting away’ with activities that are not permitted usually on their home turf. Here in the village for instance the swimming pool is a great attraction even if some of the ‘soft’ grandparents let them walk up the roads in their bare feet. (That should get me a bit of flack!). But the other side of the coin is the, possibly overdue, opportunity for Grandma to talk some sweet reason into the young brains – explaining as they do, that their parents try very hard to bring them into a troubled world in a modern environment. But that the longevity of the memories of the grandparents often trumps what they pick up from the TV, Facebook, Twitter and
By Don Good, Chief Executive, Waikato Chamber of Commerce
a heap of other rubbish-laden electronic offerings. That what flashes by on a phone screen is not necessarily either sensible or the whole truth. That peer pressure fed by young nimble thumbs is, of itself, not necessarily the sensible way to go. So firstly, to parents. Provided you give Grandma sufficient warning in order that she can increase the stock in her larder and fridge, then encourage the older generation to take a hand at guiding them towards a more fulsome life. The pressures on parents, especially in those forced into a working from home environment, are not a natural recipe for a friendly, loving and futuremoulding training ground for worthwhile young adults. Somewhere there is a fine line between what the parents see as de rigueur and what the grandparents perceive as the way forward. The Samoans have a culture where Grandmas often take a major part in the bringing up of the children. Especially where the parents have departed to earn a living overseas – notably in New Zealand. It falls to Grandma to guide the younger people through village life, respecting the role of the matai (leader), understanding the role of the church and how to respect the needs and behaviour of others. There are many fine young Samoan people who have worked through the system (often known as ‘aiga’) who, worldly-wise in the ways of the Samoan community and social behaviours, then re-join their parents to proceed onto the next level of education and guidance of the parents. Often the latter part of the journey sees the parents looking after Grandma later in her life. Not a bad deal for all three parties to the venture. More rounded young people, respectful and well-mannered with an understanding of their excellent culture, religion and group behaviours.
The Waikato Chamber of Commerce has been advocating for the amalgamation of local councils for many years. This year it has become the elephant in the Long Term Plan room that no council in the Waikato is acknowledging. Amalgamation needs to be pursued willingly to a destination we all want, or we will have it foisted on us in a manner that we do not want by Central Government. At stake is strong local democratic representation and also bureaucratic efficiency. If we do not have the conversation, we will not have our combined voice heard in the outcome. The proposed Three Waters legislation will separate out a large proportion of local council revenue to a quasi-government organisation that focusses solely on water across a large region. By taking that revenue it will diminish substantially the functions of local councils and the consequent vacuum will form the basis of some form of consolidation of those local councils by central government. Waikato local government has always been riven by petty patch protection, but business is finding their boundaries artificial and arbitrary, costly to work with, time consuming, illogical, and unproductive. There are 12 territorial authorities across the Waikato, governing 500,000 people. 12 replications, 12 governance bodies, 12 bureaucracies, 12 large cost centres, 12 voices singing off separate song sheets, and unfortunately 12 separate entities with different rules for business to deal with. Waipā families and businesses work, play and live across those boundaries. Those boundaries are unnecessary
hurdles. They create unnecessary complexity. They create competition rather than collaboration. They have no natural logic. The lines that define these territories bear no resemblance to reality. Drawn in the 80s, they are archaic and are holding back the Waikato from achieving a prosperous future The Waikato Chamber of Commerce is not advocating a super council but suggests the process of amalgamation needs to be spurred on with our voters, ratepayers and businesses contributing to the conversation. There are lessons to be learnt from the Auckland super council model. It has not been without its faults, but from a business point of view, it is one homogenous area in terms of the rules and regulations. That makes it very easy for businesses to work with. We should be looking at both what was successful and what did not work as the previous councils of Auckland were merged together. Without dismissing the difficulty to act, the Chamber questions whether local councils have pursued discussions on amalgamation with robust energy, if at all. There is nothing in their Long Term Plans, no leadership, nor presentations to voters on what amalgamating councils could look like when Three Waters goes ahead. The Chamber of Commerce wants the region to have a united and stronger voice but one involving less bureaucracy. We will not put a figure on what we see as the optimum number of councils for the Waikato but want a discussion to start as soon as possible.

In preparation for this week, I had a look through my notes file and found this paragraph: “Some people simply don’t believe climate change is an important issue; they cite ‘natural climate cycles’ and point out that it has happened before and will again - no problem. These people clearly cannot comprehend the variety of the timescales involved.” I read that and thought: “Yup - that should do it”. It is true that there are many people who do not accept humanity’s role in the current warming of the globe, some of whom, no doubt, are reaching for their email device of choice right now. My view on this is that while the planet undoubtedly goes through natural cycles of warming and cooling due to such effects as Milankovitch Cycles, the current warming is happening at such a rate as to place it well outside the scope of any hitherto observed natural cycles. How is it that there can be such disparate opinions on a subject which is apparently so well documented? I have been accused of advancing too much rhetoric and not enough fact in this column. I, like many others gather my information from a variety of sources, predominantly online, and this information is widely available to any who seek it. However, I think this could be where the trouble starts; the sources of information are innumerable and each of us (whether we admit it or not) brings a certain amount of prejudice to the party. Add to that the myriad ways in which we might choose to interpret the ‘facts’ and it is a wonder anybody agrees about anything.
And so, I present my opinions here, based upon how I see the world and what happens in it. Let’s not forget, too, that these are just my opinions, regardless of how right I think I am. And I do, by the way. As a result of the things I write here I receive a few emails most weeks, some interesting, some thought-provoking, some sensible, and some plain loopy. The loopiest of which so far has been the idea that the concentration of CO2 in the average living room containing a family of four watching TV is way above the concentration of CO2 in the wider atmosphere and the family suffers no illeffects, ergo - everything is fine. Those who write to me will have noticed by now that I do not reply. I publish my email address so that people can suggest individuals and businesses in the local community worthy of mention for their environmental efforts - if anyone wants to take issue with anything I say I would encourage them to address their thoughts to the editor, who may or may not decide to publish them. This may precipitate a discussion within our community on environmental and climate change issues - which would be a ONLY PLANET good thing.

Why Debra’s pushing pink Debra Jenkins wants people to get involved with the Pink Ribbon Breakfast event as she gets ready to host her seventh in support of Breast Cancer Foundation NZ. The owner of Mr Walter Barber Shop in Leamington has watched many of her closest friends and family members go through breast cancer, and hosting a Pink Ribbon Breakfast is her way of raising awareness and vital funds for Breast Cancer Foundation NZ. “My mother-in-law had breast cancer and it seems that every year, another one of my walking group friends is on the breast cancer journey. As a barber, I’ve had so many men sit in my chair whose wives or partners have been diagnosed with it too, so it’s been a real eye-opener getting the male perspective of how it affects families,” Debra said. “What I most enjoy about hosting a Pink Ribbon Breakfast is bringing the community together in a space where people can open up and talk, but also have fun with their guard down – knowing it’s all for a fantastic cause. “2019 was our biggest breakfast yet. We had over 100 ladies join us at the Cambridge Raceway and we raised just over $3000. There’s raffles, games and prizes, it’s always a really fun morning. The resources Breast Cancer Foundation NZ provides makes hosting very easy and I’d encourage everyone to sign up.” Around 310 women are diagnosed with breast cancer in the Waikato DHB area every year, and around 50 die will die from it. Pink Ribbon Breakfast is Breast Cancer Foundation NZ’s biggest fundraising campaign taking place in May, where thousands of Kiwis get together to do good in their communities. The money raised funds breast cancer

education, innovative research, and support for patients and their families as they navigate through their breast cancer journeys. Evangelia Henderson, chief executive of Breast Cancer Foundation NZ, said: “No matter how small or large, every Pink Ribbon Breakfast helps us to be there for Kiwi families facing breast cancer and prevent more women dying from this disease. So please, get involved in whatever way you can – your efforts will make a real difference.” Debra’s Pink Ribbon Breakfast is on Sunday May 23 from 11am at the Cambridge Raceway. Tickets cost $25 and can be bought by emailing mrwalterbarbershop@xtra.co.nz or calling/texting 0276630088. For more information go to www.pinkribbonbreakfast. co.nz

Profuse apologies pleaded at me by the panicked driver were also redundant. I didn’t know her. She isn’t on the list of people who have reasons to run me over. Someone was helping her too: “it’s okay, he’s not dead.” That was a sobering thing to overhear. It also set a low bar for what counts as okay. The paramedic was nice. I think I have a crush. It could be the drugs. I got to breathe through one of those pain killer green whistles you see on Bondi Rescue. They taste like petrol, not the mint flavour inferred from the colour.

Reflections on a crash On Thursday morning I got hit by a car. It hurt. It’s Sunday now. The last three days have felt a lot like a hangover. My head hurts. My body aches. And I can’t function properly. The only element missing is the 10 pints of Guinness that normally precede these sensations. I’m not suggesting you should replace pints of Guinness with car impact. And I’m pretty certain it won’t be cheaper. But it sure hurts the same. Warning: Get hit by cars in moderation. What I can tell you for certain is that if you want to help someone lying prone on the road don’t pick them up without asking. They are not moving for a reason.

The pop-up cycle lane that has riled so many suddenly looks inviting. It circumvents intersections. It has physical barriers. But it also has driveways, entrances and exits. I have cycling paranoia now. The policeman who gave me back my bike says they’ve got great CCTV footage. Maybe one day I’ll show up on Fail Army. I’d like to see the video, if only to stop the replay I’ve got on loop in my head.

Leamington ladies into the 70s Leamington Women’s Institute marked its 71st anniversary last week, a year after its 70th was cancelled due to Covid-19. The celebration at Cambridge Health and Community Centre was led by Leamington WI president Shirley Morris, and Taupō MP Louise Upston read out the minutes of the institute’s first meeting, held on April 11, 1950. Reading from hand-written minutes taken at that initial meeting, she said: “There were 18 ladies present… a committee of eight was elected.” Ms Upston was presented with the New Zealand Federation of Women’s Institutes (NZFWI) centennial badge, marking the
national body’s 100th anniversary last year. The NZFWI ran a competition among member institutes last year to design a centennial badge to mark the centennial. Leamington WI president Shirley Morris won the competition. The event also saw the presentation of $300 to Cambridge St John, money Shirley said had come from additional funds raised through the institute’s annual fundraising day. It was presented to St John committee member Jim Goddin and health shuttle volunteer Tui Copeland. Jim said the money would be used to maintain the organisation’s station in Fort St.
Cambridge driving service To & Fro by Resthaven has been registered with the Total Mobility Scheme, a move that means it can provide discounted rates for Total Mobility cardholders. The Total Mobility Scheme is funded in partnership by local and central government; it helps eligible people access appropriate transport to meet their daily needs. If a person has difficulty accessing public transport safely, the scheme subsidises their door-to-door transport fares by 50 percent, up to a maximum of $12.50 for Waipā residents. The user then pays the rest of the fare to the driving service – in this case, To & Fro, which is owned and run by Cambridge Resthaven. The To & Fro service, which also has a wheelchair hoist vehicle, helps people do daily things like shopping, attend doctor or hospital appointments, visit a library and more, said Cambridge Resthaven CEO David Hall.
“The service’s small group shopping and café trips have become popular for those who like socialising, but not in a big group. The drivers will also create special social outings for people who want something extra special, and airport and train station shuttles have been growing in popularity.” He said the Total Mobility Scheme makes a difference to people in the community who are otherwise unable to get out and about. “It means freedom for them. Our companion driver picks you up and takes you to your appointment and can accompany you into the building to ensure you get to the right place, even staying with you for support during the appointment if you wish. That’s what our companion drivers are there for.” More information about the Total Mobility Scheme is at www.busit.co.nz/travellingwith-us/total-mobility/, with information about To & Fro available from 07-839 4222, or via www.toandfro.co.nz
Guests at the celebrations were entertained by country music singer Daphne Lee, who is president of the Ngāruawāhia Country
Music Club, accompanied by guitarist Bruce Simmonds of the Hamilton-based Fountain City Country Music Club.

Floral art group to branch out
This month’s inaugural meeting of the Cambridge Petal Power floral art group went so well that the committee is thinking of starting a Saturday group. Scores of people attended the first meeting at the Raleigh St Christian Centre on April 19. Petal Power president Carrie Kitching said support had come
from several other clubs in the area, including from Hamilton and Te Awamutu. Those present watched six mini-demonstrations of floral art, and a number joined up as members. The success of the first meeting has prompting Carrie to suggest they might introduce monthly sessions on Saturday afternoons, at a
venue yet to be announced, to add to the planned Monday morning 9.30am to 12.30pm sessions. Those keen on a Saturday group are being asked to contact her either via the group’s Facebook page, or by email on carriekitching@ gmail.com. Meanwhile, the next Monday session is on May 17.

He is eager to push the distance he set at the Avantidrome five years ago when he took the 55-59 record. “Moving up an age group and seeing the target is pretty motivating. I think it is achievable,” says McMurray. He has all the time-keepers and officials booked ready for the attempt at 4pm on May 8. Covid-19 has restricted many sporting events around the globe and McMurray, who missed out on competing in two World Championships, sees the Hour Record as a more controllable event in these times. “I needed a goal of something hard to do to keep me training hard. Attempting the Hour Record at the Avantidrome was something I could do without travelling overseas.” McMurray McMurray , who squeezes in time to train after his early rural postal run, all the while balancing his ‘Triple J’ screen printing business with breeding Scottish Highland cattle, has other motivation for the attempt. “My Father passed away March last year, so like everyone that suffered a loss at that time we were not allowed a funeral, which was so hard. He was my greatest fan, so my motivation is to make him proud, and after the attempt we’ll have as many friends and family that can make it here and have a memorial to him, a celebration of him.” Spectators are encouraged to watch as he aims to beat the current record of 45.732km, set by Slovenian Andrej Zavbi. McMurray’s attempt starts at 4pm and the Avantidrome will be free of charge to watch from the stands.
MORTGAGE MATTERS
Refinancing Your Mortgage
By Gavin Lynch – Yes Mortgages
Refinancing your mortgage is the process of changing your mortgage lending from your existing lender to a new lender. Refinancing is a common practice for any of these reasons: • You don’t like the lender you are with. You’ve experienced poor service, problems with staff, or high account fees. • You want to borrow more money but the lender won’t allow it. Perhaps you want to consolidate debt, borrow to purchase a rental property or a vehicle, or put working capital into a business. • You have ‘outgrown’ your existing lender and want to move forward. This is common for self-employed people with a growing business, or for investors with an increasing portfolio. • Your lender has asked you to refinance. You may be in arrears with mortgage repayments or you need to restructure your mortgage. Refinancing can involve costs such as break fees from the existing lender, solicitors’ fees, valuation charges etc, but we can help get cash contributions from your new lender to help offset these costs. At Yes Mortgages, we can outline the costs involved and find the best new lender to fit your current situation from the 25 or so different lenders available. In most instances, our service is FREE to you. Generally the benefits of refinancing outweigh the costs involved but bear in mind: Refinancing your mortgage must benefit and add value to YOU. Let us do the work to find you the best lender for your situation.

Old Boys feel Hautapu wrath Hautapu Premier A bounced back from last weekend’s loss to thump Hamilton Old Boys by 50-0 at Old Boys home ground in Hamilton. The change of attitude and intensity was clear from the outset especially around defence and the contact areas where the Hautapu side charged into everything. In addition to increased physicality this week the team also brought accuracy, gone were the handling errors and turnovers from the
previous week which would have pleased coaches Sean Hohneck and Will Helu. This was and outstanding team effort, against a strong city club team which was boosted by several Chiefs players not required for Friday’s match, including former All Black loose forward Adam Thompson. The dominant forward display was laid by the entire tight 5 which allowed the loose forwards freedom, no more so than
outstanding No 8 Tom Florence whose pace, skillset and ability to link perfectly with the backs was instrumental in many tries, including one beauty to himself. Tireless flanker Dave Morris also impressed with another consistently high performance. Wingers Moese Dawai and Tom Maiava helped themselves to four of the seven tries, while Jason Thomason was the kingpin of an impressive physical backline defence. The game degenerated a little towards an untidy finish after an ill-tempered incident saw two red cards to Old Boys and one yellow card to a Hautapu player issued leaving 14 vs 13 players for period. That incident aside, this was a very good game of rugby and the Hautapu supporters who travelled over (again) were treated to a great spectacle played in sunny conditions. Fraser Tech tops the table from Ōtorohanga and Hautapu after three games.
Earlier the Hautapu Development team set the day off to a good start with an entertaining 39-31 away win against a much bigger Hamilton Old Boys. Hautapu lead from the start and aside from a 17 all halftime score, were always in front without being able to completely shake a determined Old Boys. One standout from this game were the 5 tries scored by flying winger Todd Silva, which would have triggered memories for those who recalled the days when his father and club stalwart Noel Silva played. This was Todd’s day though, and some clever play by those inside him often allowed him to demonstrate some great finishing. Other backs to impress were outstanding halfback Maia George and midfielder Harry Bodle who played very well in his return to the game after a few seasons off. All club teams are at home next weekend against Matamata.

Blues stay top
Leamington remained top of Waikato club rugby’s the Division 1 table with a convincing 33-5 win over Southern United – Surf - in Tokoroa last weekend. It was the second successive loss to Waipā opponents for Southern United, who were beaten by Pirongia the previous week. Three Waipā clubs – Leamington, Pirongia and Ōhaupō are in the top four of the threeail.co games.m Leamington ocompetition n estep n after z@ gm heads the points table, courtesy of last 021 point, 163from 2117 weekend’s bonus Hinuera. In Tokoroa Leamington led 11-0 at half time and in response to a Southern try early in the second, ran in a further four tries. Takuari Hart shone for Leamington. Southern won the corresponding reserves
clash 14-11 after Leamington Waipa Civil senior B’s had nudged ahead in the first half to lead 8-0 through a Leigh Riechardt try and a Kade Ormsby penalty. Surf hit back with two converted tries in the second half, and restricted Leamington to an Ormsby penalty. The Leamington Carricks Financial Partners under 85Kg team was beaten at home 12-9 by Eastern Suburbs. In a tight game Leamington had opportunities to take the win but errors cost them dearly. The seniors host Frankton on Saturday and the Colts are at home to Hamilton Boys High while the Under-85kg squad travels to Morrinsville.
Lifting gold
Waipā weightlifters Douglas Mienie (pictured) and Doug McWatters have celebrated further success. Both won gold medals at an event in Tauranga and McWatters was named best lifter at the event. Douglas Mienie was also presented with the bronze medal he won at the Oceania champs. The veteran lifter went 2kg better at Tauranga than he managed at the Oceania event. Both are now training for North Island champs in Auckland in June.

Oz campaign looms for three-year-old
A trip across the Tasman is in the offing for talented filly Miss Tycoon Rose if she performs well in the Gr.3 Inglis Sales Cambridge Breeders’ Stakes (1200m) at Te Rapa on Saturday. The Group One performer has missed a large part of her three-year-old season through injury but bounced back in emphatic fashion when winning by nine lengths at Riverton earlier this month. The daughter of Written Tycoon showed early promise in the spring when finishing runner-up in the Gr.1 New Zealand 1000 Guineas (1600m) behind Kahma Lass but had to undergo surgery after a knee chip was found. “It’s been unfortunate that she has missed a large part of her three-year-old career here,” said Matthew Pitman, who trains in partnership with his father Michael. “She had a slight knee chip which we had to have removed. She just required some time off. “It has probably been a blessing in disguise. She has strengthened up really nicely and seems a bigger, better type of horse this time in. “Last time her talent got her to her placing in the Guineas, but she was still a lightlyframed horse that was improving all the time. With that time off she has developed into a really nice horse. “She was pretty impressive down at Riverton.” If she performs well on Saturday, her trainers are contemplating a trip across the Tasman to tackle some Australian spoils. “If she can account herself well there is no reason why she can’t go on to Australia if she comes through the race well,” Pitman said. “We have always thought that she is an Oaks filly, but whether she is too brilliant for that we don’t know yet until we step up over ground. “There is Queensland or Adelaide that we are thinking of with her. It will be nice to have another crack at a Group One after finishing second in the Guineas. “Otherwise, we will target something like the three races at Hastings in the spring. “We are really happy with her. She is a super wee filly and we are reasonably confident with her heading up there (Te Rapa).”
Miss Tycoon Rose has been joined on her trip north by stablemate Okay Pal who also heads into Saturday following a last start victory at Riccarton. “It’s no secret that we think a lot of the horse,” Pitman said. “We think that he is going to go on to big things. “He is still maturing. We would love to have a crack at a race like the Telegraph (Gr.1, 1200m) next season, but for that to happen he has got to mature. “We think the trip will do him wonders in the long term.” Meanwhile, the Riccarton trainers will head to Wingatui on Thursday where they will have a three-pronged attack in the Brian & Shane Anderton Open 1400. They are pleased with each of their runners ahead of the meeting’s feature, which include Veladero, Carson River, and Meara Mary. “They are three very nice horses,” Pitman said. “Veladero had a little period off and he is still on his way up and we are really happy with him.
Miss Tycoon Rose in action.
“Carson River goes well at Dunedin. We are really happy with the horse and I think he will be a good chance. “And, Meara Mary tries ultra-hard every
time she goes to the races. She is a wee gem and if you had a stable full of horses that try as hard as her you would be a happy trainer. She is always a chance.” – NZ Racing Desk
Foote has Travelling Light back in the frame
It’s taken patience and hard work, but Ben Foote believes he’s got Travelling Light back to her best. The four-year-old mare will be among the leading fancies for the Gr.2 Travis Stakes (2000m) at Te Rapa on Saturday after pushing Avantage to a neck in the Gr.1 New Zealand Thoroughbred Breeders’ Stakes (1600m) on April 17. Travelling Light was one of the best three-year-old fillies of last season, winning five of her seven starts, including the Gr.1 Levin Classic (1600m). But she ran well below her best when she resumed this season in the Gr.2 Foxbridge Plate (1200m) in early September and didn’t run again until Karaka Million Day in January. Foote said the biggest challenge had been getting Travelling Light mentally focused again after a big
three-year-old campaign which involved trips to Riccarton and Trentham. “She was a bit sore after her last race as a three-year-old in the Waikato Guineas (Gr.2, 2100m) and it took her a long time to get over that. Fillies and mares can do that – when they’re not on, they’re not on,” Foote said. “I was more concentrating on getting her in the right frame of mind, to how she used to be. The more she raced, the better she came through them, and the better her work was.” The daughter of El Roca resumed with a sixth placing in the Gr.3 Westbury Classic (1400m) and followed that by finishing fourth in the Gr.1 BCD Sprint (1400m), third in the Gr.1 Otaki Weight-For-Age Classic (1600m), and fourth in the Gr.2 Japan Trophy (1600m) prior to her Breeders’ Stakes effort.
“You can tell when she’s focused, and her last couple of runs she’s showed me that she’s really switched on,” Foote said. “With a bit of a different ride she might have won the Japan Trophy at Tauranga as well – she was only a neck back that day as well.” Travelling Light finished second in her only run past 1600m last season, albeit 7-1/2 lengths behind Two Illicit in the Waikato Guineas, but she was at the end of her campaign and Foote expects the distance will not be a factor in the Travis Stakes. It is likely to be her final start for the season, although Foote has left the door ajar to press on to Queensland for the Gr.1 Tattersall’s Tiara (1400m) for fillies and mares at Eagle Farm on June 26, should Travelling Light win impressively. Foote could be in for a very good day at Te Rapa as he also
lines up the quality filly Babylon Berlin in the day’s other feature, the Gr.3 Inglis Sales Cambridge Breeders’ Stakes (1200m). A daughter of All Too Hard, Babylon Berlin has a strong record at 1200m, having won two of her six starts over the distance and placed on the other four occasions. The speedy filly was also a last start course and distance winner on a Slow surface, with the Te Rapa track rated a Slow8 on Tuesday. “I think she’s a very, very good horse, she’s just got to learn to run out her races a little bit better. She’s a definite Group One horse,” Foote said. The Cambridge trainer said Babylon Berlin would spell following the Cambridge Breeders’ Stakes and would likely be set for the Gr.1 Railway (1200m) at Ellerslie on New Year’s Day next season. – NZ Racing Desk

Reds face crucial fixture
Cambridge face a crucial match in their Lotto NRFL campaign when the Reds host third-placed Northland on Saturday. The Reds have started their season well and sit fourth on the second division table but a win will keep them in touch with title-chasing Auckland clubs Onehunga Mangere United and Fencibles United. The match starts at 3pm at John Kerkhof Park, with the clubs’ U-23 sides playing the curtain-raiser at 12.30pm. Cambridge’s three-match winning run ended last weekend when they lost 4-3 in a thrilling game at Fencibles United. The Reds were leading 3-2 in the second half but a penalty turned the game as Fencibles snatched two late goals to win the fixture 4-3. It was a bold effort from Cambridge who went to Auckland sitting third on the table, just behind Fencibles. Head coach Paul Richardson gave young Tevin Smith a first-team debut and brought in teenager Willem Dikmans for the match. Fencibles took an early lead through captain Sione Fa’apoi before Cambridge levelled on the half-hour. Winger Ewan Donald’s shot was parried by the Fencibles goalkeeper but Josh Nooijen was handily placed to head the ball into the goal.

VEGE GARDEN Harvest pumpkins and store in a cool, dry place. Kumara should be harvested before the first frost. Planting winter vegetables – cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, silverbeet, spinach and beetroot – in a raised garden will help with drainage. And don’t forget the slug bait. Any areas not planted should be sown with mustard or lupin as green crop to help add nutrients into the soil for spring. FRUIT Once pip and stonefruit have lost their leaves, you can prune on a dry day. Follow up immediately with one spray of lime sulphate before a spray of copper to protect in June/July against leaf curl, black spot, leaf spot and blight. Prune feijoa bushes following the fruit harvest. FLOWER GARDEN Time to replace summer annuals with winter flowers, such as primula, polyanthus, pansy and viola, dianthus and Iceland poppies. Sweet peas planted now in a sunny spot will flower in spring. Ensure spring bulbs are all planted now. Autumn is a good time to plant new shrubs, such as camellias and rhododendrons. Planted now, they establish before winter and will perform better in the spring. LAWNS Now is the best time to put down a new lawn, as you will get less weed growth. Turf x weed spray will control weeds in existing lawns and a top dress with a slow-release lawn fertiliser will green the lawn without strong leaf growth.
The home side came back with a second goal, through Josh Harford, sending the sides into the half-time break with Fencibles leading 2-1. Seven minutes into the second spell, the Reds were even when Michael Cosgrave delivered the pass that gave Aston Hurd his sixth goal of the season, and fourth for the first team. In the 63rd minute, Cosgrave put Cambridge ahead for the first time when he converted a cross from Donald. As the Reds tried to hold their lead, Fencibles were awarded a penalty by referee Riley Greenbury in the 81st minute which brought the teams level again when Fa’apoi scored his second of the day. A late goal from substitute Yazan Alhamdan completed

Cambridge’s misery. In the early game, Cambridge U-23s lost 5-2 to competitionleading Fencibles. The Cambridge scorers were player-coach Colin Coster and Oliver Haultain. Meanwhile, in the WaiBOP Championship, Cambridge’s third team lost 3-1 at Whakatane Town. A slow start proved costly for Cambridge who conceded a first minute goal from Sam Cox-Ellison. Cameron Wills and Brendan Mitchell added goals to give Town a 3-0 half-time lead. Cambridge’s Adam Brady pulled a goal back, his fifth of the season, but the side could not recover. Player of the Day was Matt Weatherhead. The result leaves Cambridge in fifth place on the Championship table and facing fourth-placed Ngaruawahia United at John Kerkhof Park on Saturday (2.45pm). Cambridge’s best result of the weekend was a first-round Waikato Cup victory for the club’s Division 4 side, who toppled the higher-ranked Hamilton Wanderers Crimson. The teams were tied 1-1 after 90 minutes, with a Cambridge goal from Shane Gray, and when the deadlock remained after extra time, a penalty shoot-out was used to find a winner. Cambridge won the shoot-out 4-2, thanks to some heroics by Player of the Day goalkeeper Saxon Jay-Edwards. Cambridge’s other cup entry, its Division 1 team, were eliminated by West Hamilton United who beat them 6-1 at John Kerkhof Park. The club is also out of the Waikato Women’s Cup after the women’s team lost 8-2 to higher-ranked rivals Tokoroa.

Micro magic
Why should we be utilising our microwave ovens more? Because they use less power than traditional ovens, they save time and often foods are higher in nutritional goodies than if boiled or steamed. Less moisture is lost from the food as there are no radiant elements in standard microwave ovens to heat and thus dry the air. This means that minimal liquid is required for cooking
many foods — especially vegetables and fruits. Jams, chutneys and relishes also require less liquid — about one quarter less than in a traditional recipe. Remember, the more food in the microwave the longer it takes to cook. So if you double the size of a recipe — a meatloaf for example — it will take almost twice as long to cook as the recipe states. Because they cook quickly, meats
and bakes don't develop their usual rich colour. But cakes can be dusted with icing sugar or cocoa to enhance their appeal; and meats can be scattered with fresh herbs or drizzled with a sauce. NB. The recipes following were cooked in a 1100 watt microwave oven. If using a lower watt oven you may have to increase the cooking times by a minute or two.
Asian-Glazed Salmon
Orange & Lemon Marmalade
So simple, so mouth-watering. Glaze: 1 tablespoon lime or lemon juice 2 tablespoons each: brown sugar, soy sauce 1 tablespoon each: hoisin sauce, julienned root ginger 1/2 teaspoon each, diced chilli, crushed garlic Salmon: 2 small boned salmon fillets, 200-250g in total Combine the glaze ingredients in a microwave bowl. Mix well. Cook on high for 30 seconds. Stir and continue cooking for another 30 seconds. The glaze should be thickened. Place the salmon skin-side down in a small microwave baking dish. Brush with the glaze. Cover loosely with baking or waxed paper. Cook on high for 2 minutes or until just cooked through. Spoon more glaze over the cooked salmon. Serves 2.
Take care removing the very hot bowl of marmalade from the microwave. 1 large orange 1 large or 2 medium lemons 2 1/4 cups boiling water 3 cups sugar Quarter the fruit and discard the pips. Chop finely. (This can be done in a food processor.) Place the fruit in a large microwave jug or bowl and cover with the boiling water. Cover and stand overnight. Next day, bring the fruit to the boil in the microwave, about 10 minutes. Stir in the sugar until almost dissolved. Microwave for about 20 minutes until setting point (104°C) is reached. Pour into hot sterilised jars and seal. Makes about 4 cups.

The growing popularity of pellet fires compared to open gas and electric fires
Pellet fires are growing in popularity Pellet fires are growing in popularity in the Waikato with people who want a clean and efficient form of homeheating. The sight of a burning flame without the problems of chopping, stacking and carting wood around is a winner. Pellet fires have many advantages such as: They’re easier to use than a conventional woodburner. They light electrically – simple push of the button. Some models can be thermostatically controlled or switched on or off using a timer, WiFi is also available!
They have versatile flue options including installation horizontally through an external wall. The pellets are made from sawmill waste – an abundant renewable resource, so burning them is carbon-neutral and very environmentally friendly. Pellets are automatically fed by a hopper, so no need to constantly restock the fire and you only need to fill the hopper once or twice a week.
Models include freestanding, insert and also a Pellet fire boiler. Less than one percent of the fuel burnt is left as ash, which means the ashpan needs to be emptied only a few times a year. Pratts are accredited dealers and installers for Ravelli Pellet Fires – Phone for a FREE Quote: 0800 772 887 Or view the complete range www.pratts.co.nz
The thought of the approaching colder months needn’t make you shiver, with the right heating system, you can prepare your home for winter and turn it into a cosy haven for you and your family. There are many different heating systems but over recent years pellet fires have seemed to lead the way over many gas

and electric options.
up, they’re not completely self-sufficient.
Open fires are often very inefficient and because they draw cold air in, they can actually make the rest of the house feel colder. However, modern freestanding burners are an excellent choice. If you have an existing open fireplace, you may be able to install a retrofitted modern wood burner.
Gas fires have been a common option in the past and can be fuelled by LPG (propane) or natural gas, however, reticulated gas is predominantly available in the North Island.
As much as 90 percent of an open fire’s heat can disappear up the chimney. For real heat—and real flames—the choice boils down to either a late model pellet fire or woodburner. Whichever way you jump will ultimately depend on what’s most important to you: efficiency, ease of use, cost, maximum heat output or aesthetics. If it’s purely a question of eco-cred, then pellet fires are the standout winners.

They also tend to have high installation
ENJOY A WARM WAGENER HOME
The best woodburners clock in at around 77 percent efficiency—not as impressive as pellet fires, but still a darn sight better than open fireplaces, which might deliver anything from 20 to zero percent. A high efficiency rating means less soot, which means less pollution. Equipped with a remote control and timer, pellet burners offer more control over how much heat is produced and when. Furthermore, they are often permitted to be installed in areas where zoning forbids retrofitted wood burners.
Even electric heaters may come in handy for use in rooms that need infrequent heating and in small areas where you need warmth quickly they are an expensive option compared to some other methods.
