About $80,000 in funding for artistic, musical or other creative pursuits in Waipā will be available when the Creative Communities scheme opens for community arts activities tomorrow. Waipā District Council is opening the October round of the scheme, a fund for community arts initiatives that help grow and promote local creativity. Council’s community advisor Gina Scott said the round had received a significant amount from Creative NZ. “We have approximately $80,000 in funding ready to allocate to applications that meet the criteria – access and participation, diversity or young
people and we can’t wait to see how our amazing creative minds interpret that for their projects.” Funding is available for materials for arts activities or programmes, venue or equipment hire, personnel or administrative costs for shortterm projects or promotion of arts activities that will run between November and May 2022. Recipients from the last funding round included groups who created live music films, hosted kapa haka festivals, winter wellness workouts, Matariki holiday programmes, choir performance, painting workshops and more. One of the funded projects – the Whetu Live Music Art
Film created by IA Music was broadcast by Radio New Zealand, Maori TV and Waiata Anthems Week, and has been viewed more than 30,000 times. Council will hold a Creative Communities scheme information workshop at 1pm on October 13 for potential applicants. The workshop will be co-hosted with council and Creative Waikato, who also provide support to applicants for funding rounds across the rohe. Applications to the October funding round close October 29. For more details go to waipadc. govt.nz/creativecommunities. Application forms can also be collected from council offices in Cambridge and Te Awamutu.

Kīngi Tūheitia played a leading role and combined with the principle of manākitanga - kai manāki greeted visitors and provided care and support . It was hugely successful and resulted in kaumātua vaccination rates of nearly 90 per cent. “Any event or opportunity that we could come and vaccinate, we’re very open to being contacted and asked to go,” said Munro. “We’ve got mobile teams, everything all set up. We’ve got enough vaccinators. We’ll go to any sort of event – within the bounds of lockdown.” And if that fails to work, the DHB will text or call. It has recruited Māori and Pacific staff to ring people up to discuss vaccinations. “They are the peers of the people they are ringing,” said Munro. “There’s lots of events going to be happening, like the Waka Ama nationals at Lake Karāpiro in January. We’re saying, at least be prepared so that if the events go ahead, you know you’re vaccinated, you’re ready to go. It’s about being ready for when the country gets going again.”
Make the most of the holidays Tena Koutou Katoa Daylight Saving always makes me feel happy – I think it is the lighter evenings making each day seem longer and somehow more relaxed. This week is also the last week of a challenging school term. For those with children and grandchildren, the next two weeks will hopefully allow you time to relax, catch up with family and friends and generally refresh. For others, the commute to work will be faster in peak hours for sure. So with the holidays and daylight saving encouraging more of us to get out and about, crime prevention cannot be forgotten. It’s time for my regular reminder. If you are going to be away from your home, ensure it is secure. The same goes for vehicles, bikes, boats and trailers that may be on your property. Lock your vehicles and keep any money and valuables safely hidden away inside your house. Use a wheel clamp on
any trailers so an opportunist thief can’t simply tow them away. If you are travelling with bikes onboard, consider locking them to your bike rack if they will be left out of your sight. Security is important even if you are staying at home but spend time out in the garden or down the farm. Remove the opportunity for someone to steal from your house while you are outside and out of sight. When driving on the roads, be aware of your surroundings, especially of the actions of other drivers. Drive to the conditions, monitor your speed and take regular breaks to be sure you get to your destination safely. Should you witness dangerous driving, call 111 and let Police know. If possible, have someone in the car video the driving behaviour or save dashcam footage. Supervision of children also needs to be considered in the holidays. It is sometimes difficult to take leave from work, so try
working together with friends and/or family to share childcare around. There are also several holiday programmes available in Waipā. In New Zealand, a child under the age of 14 years old cannot be left without adequate supervision. Even at 14 years, the length of time it is safe to do so will depend on the individual child’s maturity and abilities. If you are heading out tramping, camping or on the water, ensure that you tell someone where you are going and when you expect to be back. I recommend hiring a Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) that can be activated to quickly alert emergency services of your location and need for help, should you have an accident or lose your way. Take care, have a great holiday and I’ll catch you again next week.

Councillors make call on Three Waters By Mary Anne Gill
Waipā residents will end up subsidising other communities including neighbouring big city Hamilton under the government’s Three Waters Reform proposal, say district councillors. The News understands councillors, frustrated their communities will lose assets built up over years, are planning their own campaigns to force the government to rethink its controversial water reforms. They are planning public meetings next week in Te Awamutu and Cambridge. Times and venues were unavailable as we went to press but they will be published on our website. At the monthly Waipā council meeting on Tuesday, staff presented a draft submission to councillors on the water plans. Most councillors felt the submission was too tame. “We have asked for a much stronger and clearer message,” said deputy mayor Liz Stolwyk. “Our community does not want water reform. We are not happy.” Kakepuku councillor Susan O’Regan said the whole process had been rushed by the government
and was awful. An “expensive and offensive” advertising campaign had eroded good faith, she said. “Questionable long time financial benefits for the people of Waipā who are after all the ones we have sworn to represent is something we just can’t ignore.” Under the Three Waters plan, Waipā’s water assets would combine with 21 other councils from the Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Taranaki and parts of the central North Island and be transferred to a separate water entity. Assets, including water meters and plants paid for by Waipā ratepayers over decades, would no longer be owned by the communities who had invested in them. Cities like Hamilton, who had not invested in water meters, would need significant investment and it was councils like Waipā that would pay for it, said Stolwyk. O’Regan agreed cross subsidisation was one of many issues she was concerned about. “The governance model is troubling and will simply have the effect of creating more layers of unnecessary bureaucracy. “Alienation from effective control
or influence over community assets is a real issue.” In a media release, the council said it was concerned it was being asked to decide on Three Waters in the absence of important information that would enable it to meet the key requirements for robust decision making. Concerns around governance and ownership were also issues that needed answers.
Board makes the tough calls By Blair Voorend
Te Awamutu’s Community Board has had to make tough calls as it cuts requested funding for community organisations. The Board has announced just over $22,000 in grants and has sought more information on some requests. Grants announced yesterday show the board worked to spread the funds. Many groups were declined. Loving Arms Charitable Trust received the largest grant, $2200. Among grants to go to Kihikihi was one for $1600 to the town’s bowling club which was in the news this week complaining that constant use of chemicals on its greens had caused a toxic
build up and soil should be checked before it was removed in preparation for an artificial green. The board has about $50,000 to give away over two funding rounds. “When you receive 41 applications for a total of $124,522.36 it does take some narrowing down,” Te Awamutu Community Board chair Ange Holt said. She believed her board had done a great job to offer some support from its limited budget. Members had considered with applications best fitted the criteria and the extent they were assisting people in Te Awamutu and its surrounds. She said the board had been creative – coming up
with ideas such as linking groups which could help each other. “We have also requested that the council’s community advisors pop out and see if they can assist finding alternative funding for some as well.” Holt also praised the work not for profit organisations did for the community. “It is great to learn about all the wonderful work that is going on in our community and we are sorry we are not in the position to support you all at this time.” The district council announced a total of $126,800 in funding for boards to distribute last year. The Cambridge Community Board was given $49,600, the Te Awamutu Community
Board $49,600 and the Pirongia Ward Committee $27,600 to allocate to activities and projects in their wards. The grants list is: C h i l d P l a y Wo r k s Charitable Trust $300, Children 1st Charitable Trust $600, Citizens Advice Bureau Te Awamutu $200, CommSafe $1300, Diabetes Waikato Youth $300, Girl Guiding NZ $1700, Hamilton Fish and Game $1000, House of Science South Waikato $1800, Kids in Need Waikato $850.00, $1,600, Kihikihi Domain Sports $1500, Loving Arms $2200, MS Waikato $600, Victim Support $1600, Pirongia Forest Park Lodge $1700, Te Awa Rugby Referees $216.86, Te Awamutu Brass Band $400,

Parkour course planned
School centenary postponed By Blair Voorend
Parkour enthusiasts should “start small”.
By Luke East
A new parkour course, aimed to provide 12- to 17-year-olds with something exciting and physical to do, is be built near the Te Awamutu skate park. Parkour involves traversing obstacles in a man-made or natural environment by running, climbing and jumping. The course expected to open later this year is one aspect of Waipā District Council’s Centennial Park upgrade, which also includes a bike skills pump track,

an extension to the skate park and new restrooms. It is hoped that the facility will bring enthusiasts from across the Waikato to Te Awamutu and also to revitalise the south side of Te Awamutu. Parkour NZ chief executive Damien Puddle says the new course is exciting and comes after the success of the country’s first purpose-built parkour park, a project involving Hamilton City Council at Innes Common. The new course is being developed by PROUDLY SUPPORTING
Cambridge
PREMIER SPONSORS
Waipā District Council with support from Parkour NZ. Damien Puddle said it would be a great place for young parkour enthusiasts to explore, develop their skills, and learn how to assess risk safely. Waikato-based parkour coach Rhett Flight people interested in parkour should “start small”. “The big sensational stuff on social media is done by people training for most of their lives”.
Another centenary event in Waipā has been put back 12 months. Te Awamutu’s St Patrick’s Catholic School had planned to hold its 100-year celebration on October 22 and 23. Organisers have decided to reschedule it for Labour Weekend 2022 and will open registration in January. Te Miro School suffered similar issues last year when the first series of Covid lockdowns were announced. The Waikato Rugby Union has also postponed its centenary celebrations. It was planned for October 15. St Patrick’s principal Shelly Fitness said that while it was disappointing to postpone, it was a decision which would ensure anyone who wanted to attend could. The school had registrations from all over the country, many of them from Auckland, which has been cut off from the rest of the country thanks to Lockdown rules. A small group had also indicated they wanted to come over from Australia for the centenary. “We’re also aware that many people coming are in the older age bracket and they are the most vulnerable in terms of Covid and we definitely want them in attendance,” Fitness said. That included the now-retired teachers from the Sisters of St Joseph religious order. “The centenary wouldn’t be the same without them.” St Patrick’s Catholic School was opened by Bishop James Liston on June 19, 1921. The school is keeping former staff and pupils up to date on its Facebook page.

NKC plays for final place A winner take-all Peace Cup shootout between North King Country and Piako will decide who meets holders Hamilton in the 2021 Peace Cup Final on October 9. Round two saw Hamilton remain as the only unbeaten side in the 2021 Peace Cup qualifying rounds, when they beat North King Country 45-14 – while Piako won a good tussle against Central Bay of Plenty, 36-22. North King Country Sub Union hosted Hamilton at Kio Kio last week under lights. Hamilton dominated most of the first half, but a lack of cohesion meant
they were only able to capitalise with two converted tries while North King Country took advantage of a rare excursion into Hamilton’s half to score an unconverted try. After a halftime rev up Hamilton came out firing and scored two quick tries and a conversion in a matter of five minutes. North King Country were tenacious on defence but couldn’t stop Hamilton’s powerful scrum from pushing them off their own ball and it allowed the visitors to have a lot of possession. The vital round three encounter between Piako and North King
Country, will be hosted by the King Country representatives who have made a competitive showing in their debut in the 101-year-old rugby competition. The Stan Meads Shield (Peace Cup Challenge Trophy) will be on the line for the last time this season, when holders Hamilton travel to the Bay of Plenty to take on Central Bay of Plenty. Scores: Hamilton 45 (Penalty try, Lisiate Toofohe 2, Tyson Lowry, Jay Havea, Dylan Bower, Isaiah Duncanson tries; Tyrell Martin 3 con, Dylan Bower con) North King Country 14 - HT 14-5 Piako 36 Central Bay of Plenty 22.
NO PLANET B
Cop this, Mr Morrison Cop26 is coming up. It’s a get together of world leaders and negotiators. It’s happening in Glasgow at the end of October and the aim is for everyone to agree to do more to combat the causes of climate change. Some people say there’s nothing to worry about, that climate change is all recurring natural cycles. It is true that climate cycles of the past have caused widespread changes in the environments of the day and no doubt many species have come and gone as a result. But natural climate cycles typically happen slowly - slowly enough for evolution to work, thereby giving species the chance to adapt. So evolution carries on wending its way wheresoever it is going - and who knows where that is? Certainly not us - we’ll be long gone by the time it gets there. The change in climate which is happening now though, is happening so fast as to make the suggestion that it is due to anything other than human activity laughable. And anyway, if a tree is falling and you look up to see that it is about to land on your head, does it matter
By Peter Matthews
whether it is falling due to natural causes or the action of a chainsaw? No, anyone with a modicum of sense will get out of the way. My point is that the scientists tell us that we can do something about climate change and I would rather heed them than any astrologer, hoax-caller, naturopath, faith healer, conspiracy theorist, or shaman. Should we not at least try - rather than saying “It’s not my fault therefore I’m not bothered”? I think we have a responsibility to look after the version of the planet which we, for the time being, inhabit. Not for the benefit of those to come in the millennia ahead; that’s too far away even for the best of us to worry about. No, I mean for our children and their children. That’s about as far ahead as anyone can reasonably look. Unfortunately, it seems that one of our very close neighbours can’t even look ahead to the end of the month: The Australian PM is apparently undecided on whether or not to attend Cop26. In July, a UN report ranked Australia last out of 170 member nations for its response to climate change. Australia, one of the world’s top
exporters of coal and gas, and the most carbon polluting nation in the world per capita, recently approved a coal mine expansion south of Sydney. How important does something have to be to get Scott Morrison’s attention? But then I suppose it’s not surprising he did recently downplay the effects of climate change before taking off on an overseas holiday while his country was on fire. Sorry about your future kids, I’m, off to the pub. Whether the current bout of climate change is man-made or not, surely the right thing for our leaders to do is to get together and see if something can be done about it?

FAITH IN WAIPĀ
Shot through with Glory Christine Bryant, Lay Minister, St John’s
Covid related anxiety among our young people, and indeed across generations is now so frequently discussed in our media that I wonder if it has become self-fulfilling. It is known that the stories we tell ourselves about our lives have a far more powerful effect on how we actually live than we used to realise. If our internal voice is telling us that the Covid 19 pandemic leads to anxiety, that will surely increase the likelihood that it will. This is not to diminish the severe and debilitating anxiety some people experience, nor to deny that many students, especially secondary school students, have experienced anxiety as they face the challenge of scholastic achievement without face-to -face classroom learning, and of being able to learn alongside peers, through their insights and mistakes. Anxiety is centered on self-focus, on how I compare. I am worried about how I look, how I perform, how I cope when someone speaks to me. Whilst severe anxiety needs the care of trained professionals, there are steps to take before anxiety becomes life-limiting. Christianity has an unfailing answer. It is the practice of Christian contemplation, of focusing one’s mind and spirit on God’s presence. It is called the practice of contemplation because whilst is sounds easy, it requires concentration and practice. With practice the focus moves from self to
God, but the effect is greater, a deeper awareness of self and of how precious that self is to God and to all of creation. It is to find oneself a part of a whole, with a role to play. It is to know oneself as cherished. It is to understand the words found in Romans 8:9, “Nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.” The words of Walter Rauschenbusch say it all: The highest form of prayer is not a prayer for anything It is a deep and profound silence, in which we allow ourselves To be still and know our God. In that silence we are changed, we are calmed, we are illumed. In the castle of my heart there is a little postern gate Where, when I enter, I am in the presence of God. In a moment, in the turning of a thought, I am where God is. When I meet God there, all life gains a new meaning, Small things become great, and great things small. Lowly and despised things are shot through with glory. My troubles seem like pebbles on the road, My joys seem like everlasting hills, All my fever is gone in the great peace of God, And I pass through the door from time to Eternity.

Costs cripple croquet club By Luke East
A Te Awamutu sports club has upped its membership fees by 60 percent – just to keep the lights on. The Te Awamutu Croquet Club, which played its first game in October 1911 and has withstood two World Wars is facing its biggest battle yet as it attempted to keep up with rising maintenance costs. Club members Melva Carter and Jean Fisher say that despite the club having more than 40 members and a spate of wins in recent years they’re finding it more difficult each year to keep up with the financial that the sport requires. The Bank St club recently applied for funding from the Te Awamutu Community Board just to cover the costs of mowing their playing lawns. Despite increasing membership costs, gaining sponsorship, attracting more members and other initiatives, maintenance costs such as mowing, fertilising, aerating, rolling, watering and dethatching lawns absorb most of the club’s funds. There is nothing left to spruce up the clubrooms for the first time since 2006 or undertake other improvements to the club. The Te Awamutu Community Board has put up $600 towards costs – but the maintenance bill is $4000. Club President Yvonne Hamilton and members gathered for a round on Monday morning and reflected that the surrounding scenery had barely changed in over a century and that it would be a shame for Te Awamutu to lose a club which has been a
Hampered hampers By Blair Voorend
Operation Christmas Hamper is just around the corner – but organisers have been put months behind by Covid. Operation Christmas Hamper is a community led initiative comprising Te Awamutu organisations and businesses who work together to support families in need during the holiday period. Last year more than 300 hampers were distributed. About 50 volunteers spent a week packing boxes, wrapping gifts and distributing these across the community. Commsafe community safety officer and one of the organisers of the fundraisers Mandy Merson said the recent Covid restrictions have had a significant affect. The Level 2 restrictions had impacted on fundraising opportunities. Regular fundraisers including an annual car wash
and sausage sizzle will be held when the district is at Level 1. “Currently we are about three months behind schedule, so we need the community to come on board now.” Aside from delaying the Hamper plans, Covid has also made the need for the fundraiser greater. Organisers have set a goal of 200 hampers. “There is already stress on businesses and families so asking for their help to give back to the community in already limited resources is something we are very aware of,” she said. “Hence our lower number of hampers but if we can get more out that would be amazing.” She said the way to support the appeal is to make donations or volunteer to help. She can be contacted at operationchristmashamper@gmail.com.

central part of our community for so long. Yvonne and Golf Croquet Captain Chris Page say they met Mayor Jim Mylchreest and staff to discuss the maintenance costs and warn that the club is at risk of collapse if it cannot secure funding to cover their lawn maintenance. Members at Monday’s game of Golf Croquet (a more fast-paced version of the game) say the Club is an asset to the community and is a good way of keeping fit, getting outdoors and staying connected. They are hopeful the community will help to keep their 110-year-old club going for future generations of Te Awamutu residents.

Teaming up for a doctorate By Stephen Ward
Three Te Wānanga o Aotearoa staff have been awarded doctorates in raranga - traditional Māori weaving - after joined-up study through Auckland University of Technology’s Te Ipukarea Research Centre. It’s seen as a visible demonstration of the mana, academic expertise and detailed knowledge of the three wāhine involved. Their unique joint project - covering raranga past, present and future – carried on as they each individually worked towards their PhDs through completing research and creating raranga. The kairaranga (weavers) awarded doctorates and who will graduate in December are Gloria Taituha, a Te Awamutu-based Poururuku, who studied the period from 1860 to 1970, Jacqueline McRae-Tarei, a Kaiwhakahaere Ako in Kawerau, who looked at historical raranga up until 1860 and Rose Te Ratana, a kaiako from Rotorua, who researched raranga from 1970 and into the future. “We’re incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved together and will look to use what we’ve learned in helping to advance the understanding and practice of raranga around Aotearoa,” the three said in a media release by Te Wananga o Aotearoa. “Raranga isn’t just decorative – it was essential to the successful

migration of Māori to Aotearoa and their life here amid a colder climate. So, we acknowledge our tīpuna kairaranga from the distant past as well as more modern and contemporary practitioners who have carried the practice forward.” They also acknowledged the very supportive role of AUT in allowing a collaborative approach to PhD research. To AUT’s knowledge, this is

the first time internationally that there has been a joint PhD project in raranga and there are only two previous raranga doctorates in Aotearoa. “The work the kairaranga have done demonstrates clearly how raranga is a very valid discipline of academic study,” says AUT’s Professor Tania Ka’ai, who supervised the PhDs. “Their achievement also

recognises not just the art form but tohunga raranga (weaving experts) as well, and the creative practice of the kairaranga.” The overarching kaupapa of the joint PhDs project was the role of kairaranga – who were essential in the effective functioning of Māori society - from the past to the future. “Working this way created a bigger picture and looked across time,” says Jacqueline McRae-Tarei.
Gloria Taituha said the idea of working collaboratively on the PhDs reflected the Wananga’s mahitahi (working as one) approach on projects, as well as the approach used by Professor Ka’ai in supervising.” “The idea was to have a joint project where each individual component could be individually assessed and stand on its own, while there would be an overarching narrative developed and synergies available through doing a collaborative project.” Rose Te Ratana says working together in a collaborative way has presented its challenges but has been valuable. “It has pushed us to the limit.” The kairaranga say their research has created an important body of work about the practice of raranga across time and its path into the future. They feel this will help others understand and develop their raranga practice in a way that suits them. The trio say that raranga has a special wairua (spirit) and artistic qualities of its own, and that raranga creates strong connections to tīpuna (ancestors) who passed on the art to current generations. “That’s something many kairaranga talk about, that is how raranga creates links between past and present,” says Jacqueline. • Stephen Ward is a communications advisor at Te Wananga o Aotearoa.
You read it in the News first... Radio New Zealand, TVNZ and various print products were wowed by a release last week from Waipā District Council which announced a live-streamed meeting had attracted a huge following. “Almost 300,000 people from throughout the world have watched a Waipā District Council Zoom meeting on YouTube, many pretending they’re actually in a meeting to avoid family, workmates or chores,” the New Zealand Herald reported, quoting Radio New Zealand. “More than 300,000 people from throughout the world have watched a Waipā District Council Zoom meeting on YouTube, many pretending they’re actually in a busy meeting to avoid family, workmates or chores,” Stuff told readers. It all started with a Waipā District Council media release last Friday which announced “a Waipā District Council livestream has almost inexplicably gone viral on the internet as hundreds of thousands of viewers flock to the District Council YouTube channel. “Comments left behind by viewers paint a better picture of why its [sic] become so popular - many viewers are using the meeting livestream to create the impression of being in a busy, important Zoom meeting,” the release continued. It quoted viewers saying: “I have used this meeting 6 times now... It feels like I am part of the group now,” and “Good video to use so that no one disturbs me while working”. Waipā District Councillor Marcus Gower enjoyed some television exposure discussing
the issue too. Sound familiar? So it should. “Waipā councillors are polite and well behaved, on live stream at any rate. A lot of readers might find watching paint dry more interesting,” Mary Anne Gill told News readers on May 15. “Certainly, there were people who tuned into the council’s best rated meeting the Finance and Corporate committee meeting on 21 April 2020 with 131,238 views, who reported these ulterior motives: • Literally put this zoom call on at work so it looked like I was busy, I was avoiding having to deal with a stressful individual. And it worked, thank you. • Me using this to make my parents think that im studying (followed by a laughing emoji) • Anyone else using this just so they can sound like they’re in a meeting so their other family members don’t disturb them while working from home? • Is there a US or UK version of this? My misses keeps asking why all the people I work with are Australian when I tell her that I have a meeting I can’t leave… • Put the busy signal on my internal Skype and turned this on. Good thing no one actually listens closely to the voices. I throw in a clearing of my throat every so often too. We tip our hat to the Waipā District Council for getting such great publicity. Being first with the news is great – we just didn’t expect to beat the nationals by four months.

Flavours
with Jan Bilton
Celebrate Spring
For me, spring means a bounty of nourishing deliciousness from the garden. And best of all, from asparagus to strawberries to Asian greens, most of these goodies require minimal prep and cooking. It’s a time to put away winter warmers and embrace lighter foods. Asparagus is abundant in antioxidants such as vitamin C and beta-carotene. It contains inulin, a type of carbohydrate, which acts as a prebiotic, feeding the healthy bacteria in your gut. Thankfully, this favourite green is low in kilojoules. Strawberries are also choc-a-block with vitamin C plus phytochemicals that contain immune-boosting and other health promoting properties. They’re deliciously diet friendly — about 145 grams, contains just 188 kilojoules. Rhubarb is at its tender best in spring. When purchasing, choose thick, firm stalks with no wrinkling or other signs of drying. Rhubarb is known for its diuretic and anti-inflammatory properties and contains about one-third of your daily calcium needs, as well as potassium, folate and iron. BAKED ASPARAGUS, HALLOUMI & BACON If the bacon rashers are wide, cut three in half lengthwise to make 6 strips. 12 stalks asparagus 180g halloumi 6 small rashers steaky bacon 6 sprigs thyme freshly ground black pepper to taste 2 tablespoons olive oil Preheat the oven to 225°C. Line a roasting pan with baking paper. Trim the asparagus into 10cm lengths. Cut the halloumi into 8 equal lengths. Take 2 asparagus spears and sandwich with the halloumi and thyme sprigs. Wrap in a bacon rasher. Repeat with the remaining asparagus, halloumi, thyme and bacon.
Baked asparagus, halloumi and bacon
Strawberry mango salsa
Place in the lined roasting pan. Season with black pepper and drizzle evenly with the oil. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is slightly brown. Serve immediately. Serves 3 as a light meal with baby potatoes or ‘as is’ as a starter.
SPRING GREENS WITH SPICY HOLLANDAISE Spicy Hollandaise: 2 egg yolks 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 teaspoon curry powder pinch each: salt, ground chilli 100g butter, melted Greens: 12 stalks asparagus 1 bunch broccolini 4 heads Shanghai cabbage salt to taste Combine the egg yolks, lemon juice, curry powder, salt and ground chilli in a blender. With the motor running, pour in the melted butter in a thin stream. Keep warm by standing the blender container in warm water or pour the Hollandaise into a vacuum flask. Makes about 1/2 a cup of sauce. Snap the ends off the asparagus. Trim the broccolini stems. Remove any coarse leaves from the Shanghai cabbage. Place in a large steamer over rapidly boiling water. Steam until just tender. Place on a serving platter and drizzle with the Hollandaise. Serves 4-6
STRAWBERRY MANGO SALSA If necessary, drained canned mango can be substituted for fresh. 3/4 cup diced strawberries 3/4 cup diced fresh mango 1 green chilli, seeded and diced 1 small shallot, diced freshly ground black pepper to taste 2 tablespoons chopped coriander leaves 2-3 tablespoons lime juice In a large bowl, combine the strawberries, mango, chilli, shallot, black pepper, coriander and lime juice. Serve immediately. Serves 4

Samarkand showcases staying talent Murray Baker knows he’s got a good three-year-old staying prospect in Samarkand, an outstanding winner at Tauranga on Sunday. What he doesn’t know is what to do with him next. Baker, who trains at Cambridge with Andrew Forsman, clearly had a strong opinion of Samarkand from an early stage. The son of Mongolian Khan ran at Listed level in his first two races as a juvenile, where he finished fourth in the Champagne Stakes (1600m) and fifth in the Auckland Futurity Stakes (1400m), both at Ellerslie last autumn. He returned at Taupo in early September, finishing second to Only In America over 1400m, prior to his all-the-way victory by nearly eight lengths over 1600m at Tauranga. Samarkand isn’t nominated for the Gr.1 Al Basti Equiworld New Zealand 2000 Guineas (1600m) and is more likely to be seen heading towards the Gr.1 New Zealand Derby (2400m) in March next year. “He’s a three-year-old that wants to go 2000m now, but there aren’t
any options for that until January,” Baker said of Samarkand, who is out of the Zabeel mare Shimmy. “He’ll most likely have a couple more runs in spring but I haven’t decided where he will go next.” A $26,000 Karaka yearling purchase, Samarkand is named after the city of the same name in the central Asian country of Uzbekistan. His name is a nod to his sire Mongolian Khan as the city was one of many conquered by Mongolian leader Genghis Khan in the 13th century. Baker and Forsman have two likely candidates for the 2000 Guineas in Meritable and Turn The Ace, with seven youngsters nominated for the Riccarton feature. Meritable won on debut on the Cambridge Synthetic last week. He is likely to head to the Gr.2 Dundeel at Arrowfield Hawke’s Bay Guineas (1400m) at Hastings on Saturday. Turn The Ace, a Listed winner at two, was slightly disappointing when finishing sixth to Wakari in the Listed Sir Colin Meads Trophy (1200m) when resuming on September 18. He will stay closer
to home and head for a 1200m three-year-old race at Te Rapa on Friday. Meanwhile, Baker was happy with Gr.1 Caulfield (2400m) and Gr.1 Melbourne Cups (3200m) contender The Chosen One’s fourth placing in the Gr.1 Underwood Stakes (1800m) on Saturday, a little more than six lengths behind Gr.1 Cox Plate (2040m) favourite Zaaki. “He ran alright and didn’t lose any ground in the run home,” Baker said. “He’ll probably run next in the Herbert Power (Gr.2, 2400m) at Caulfield, which he won a couple of years ago, and then it’s on to the Caulfield and Melbourne Cups.” Another leading stayer from the Baker-Forsman stable, Quick Thinker, will be seeking Group One glory in the Metropolitan Handicap (2400m) at Randwick on Saturday. “He didn’t get all favours when he came second in the Newcastle Cup last week,” Baker said. “There’s some rain forecast for Sydney this week and that will help him.”
Samarkand winning at Tauranga on Sunday.
Baker and Forsman will also seek riches in Sydney with Aegon, who is on track for the A$7.5 million Golden Eagle (1500m) at Randwick on October 30. Aegon ran well fresh for fourth in the Gr.1 Memsie Stakes (1400m) on August 28 but was brought back to New Zealand after a
