Here they are: Our future

They’ve come through a pandemic, lived through their first global recession and a cost-of-living crisis might limit how much money their whānau can spend on them. But the 353 Year Nine students who started at Cambridge High School last week - along with 11 new teachers and two support staff – were still full of hope and excitement. Principal Greg Thornton, teachers, staff, and supporters moved

from the crammed old gymnasium into the spacious new one for the pōwhiri and they welcomed in the new staff followed by the students. About 80-85 per cent of the 12 and 13-year-olds had come from Cambridge Middle School, the rest from small schools like Te Miro and Horahora, with larger numbers from Hautapu, Kaipaki, Ōhaupō and St Peter’s Catholic.

The opinion piece on 1080 use (The News, January 25) was disappointing for its misinformation. It referred to the Environmental Protection Authority’s 2023 annual report on the use of aerial 1080, which presents a different picture. The report notes that 1080 pesticide is an effective tool for the large-scale control of invasive predators. It also quotes the conclusion of the 2011 independent Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment’s review of the use of 1080: “New Zealand faces a choice between the increasing use of 1080 in aerial operations or a future where taonga species can only be found in offshore sanctuaries and not on the mainland.” Our native ecosystems are being devastated by introduced predators and many species are at risk of extinction. The Department of Conservation uses the most effective predator control tools available to protect remnant populations of vulnerable native species and forests. This includes biodegradable 1080 toxin and largescale trapping. This approach is ‘holding the line’ for some of our threatened biodiversity until New Zealand can achieve the Predator Free 2050 goal. Through monitoring outcomes, we know predator control helps ecosystems to recover, allows native species to survive and breed, and improves forest health. For example, in Pirongia Forest Park, the Pirongia Te Aroaro O Kahu Restoration Society’s ground-based predator control, along with Doc’s 1080 aerial control, has

enabled the return of kōkako and North Island robin/toutouwai. There are many other examples of the recovery of native wildlife and plants due to the use 1080 alongside other methods to suppress predators. The results speak for themselves.

October. Children are returning to school life in February 2004 still facing these hazards. Council, you do a great job of making Cambridge welcoming to visitors. It’s a lovely town to live in. However, the lack of proper planning and preparation so this work was done in a timely fashion will affect everyday life for the families have been let down on this project. Ethel Simmonds Cambridge

A hazard for everyone

This week hundreds of Cambridge’s children are making their way to a new school. Many hard-working families will have been checking the routes to these schools with their kids, finding a safe way to travel by bike or scooter or car. We all want school to be great experience. Surprise, surprise both Cambridge Middle and Primary schools are surrounded by orange cones, white posts and serious earth works. In my view the current stage of these works makes a real hazard for everyone; impossible for making safe “drop offs” and “pick up” arrangements or access to recommended cycle paths. Council, you have had weeks to complete this work while school was out. After almost a year, that I am aware of, Cambridge Primary school children will still be crossing Duke Street on the patrolled crossing onto an area that is scruffy, temporary and ugly; where I have seen children slip, fall as their scooter got stuck; pushchairs and wheelchairs stuck; puddles and the like. I was assured this would be sorted as part of the roadworks scheduled for September/

On the beat with Senior Constable DEB HANN An update, and a word of caution Kia ora koutou katoa, we are having a lovely short week - after a four day weekend for some - and I hope everyone was able to get time to relax. First in good news, sometimes it is a mix of police experience and a person unwittingly bringing themselves to police attention, which delivers a good catch. This week one of our late shift units was on the way back from a job in Karāpiro when they noticed a car following the car ahead a little too closely. While not the most aggressive driving they had seen, instinct told them to stop the car. Their instincts paid off and the driver gave a breath test that exceeded the breath alcohol limit. I had an interesting Saturday late shift last weekend, where I was reviewing some recent crime reports. Sometimes even the person involved doesn’t know why they did something illegal in the moment. Following a theft report, I spoke to a person who had been

identified by a local business as having stolen a part off of a display lawnmower. While the monetary value was not high, they noted that she didn’t seem comfortable in her actions but had nevertheless left the store after concealment and driven away. My subsequent conversation may almost have been a relief to the offender. She immediately admitted the theft, indicating she felt ashamed and confused as to her actions. She was remorseful and at my suggestion, immediately drove to the store, returned the stolen part - and paid for a new one. That bad decision led to her being trespassed from the store for two years. Theft is theft. Lastly, a word of caution for when using prepay petrol apps. Petrol drive offs (thefts) are sadly a continuing occurrence for our service stations. While checking recent reports, I found one that appeared out of character for the vehicle owner and driver. Reading the

details, I could see that a visiting driver had tried to use a prepay app , but it didn’t work. When the cashier opened the pump, she had subsequently filled her car but left without making an attempt to pay. You guessed it, when spoken to, the driver had mistakenly believed the payment had finally gone through. Once I had made her aware, she contacted the service station and paid in full. If you have any question at all about petrol payment, be sure to either check in with staff at the service station or check your bank account to ensure you have paid. This has similarly occurred with drivers using corporate fuel cards with payments processed via an app. If reported for theft, your car will have an alert put on it, which may result in an unexpected stop by police. Make good decisions and have a great week.

Briefs…

Balloons back

Balloons over Waikato will celebrate its 25th anniversary by visiting the domain at Lake Karapiro on March 22. The balloons have previously visited Te Awamutu, Cambridge and Karāpiro – but weather and Covid have marred the past few years.

Ingham purchase

Ingham Motors, which started in Ōtorohanga 55 years ago and expanded into Te Awamutu, Hamilton, Auckland, Tauranga, Taupō and Hawke’s Bay, has purchased Windsor Nissan Motors in Cambridge. Principal Ross Dodds will remain with the dealership. The company purchased the former Bunnings site next door two years ago,

Clam show

Auckland Council is planning to update residents in the city about golden clams which are being contained after they were found in the Waikato River. Check Clean Dry ambassadors at Lake Karāpiro show river and lake users jars of dried clams and now Auckland is getting resin blocks holding clams to show off at events like a community open day at Lake Pupuke, Takapuna.

CEO wanted

The task to find a successor to Waipā District Council chief executive Garry Dyet is underway. Dyet announced at the end of November he would be leaving the role in middle of this year after 45 years at the council. District councillors approved the wording of a job advert yesterday. Dyet is scheduled to finish on June 30 but there is some flexibility as a contingency to accommodate a brief handover period.

Bus fare up

Waikato Regional Council has announced a 20 per cent increase in fares for buses. Councillors, who were told during a workshop that 15 per cent of their $1.2 billion infrastructure assets were in poor or very poor condition, have also proposed a 10-year budget starting with a six per cent rates rise in 2024-25.

‘Wilky’ vents over cameras By Roy Pilott

In eight years he and his staff at Challenge in Duke St, Cambridge, have endured three ramraids, three burglaries – and as of last Friday, an armed robbery. Oh, and there was also the incident where thieves made off with two trailers. Owner Dave “Wilky” Wilkinson is a fifth generation Cambridge resident – the family arrived in town in 1888 - who takes great pride in the community. His grandfather Kenneth Wilkinson twice served as mayor of the borough from 1947 to 1962. He proudly shows his diploma on a wall in his office – a Bachelor of Common Sense from the School of Hard Knocks. And he can’t see the sense in not providing CCTV coverage for Duke Street. Not for him mind you – he’s got 16 all up overlooking his site, and even considered putting a CCTV camera up for Duke Street before realising cost and privacy laws would get in the way. He wants the camera for fellow businesses – the like of Noel Leeming and the TAB - New World is at the other end of Anzac St - and is highly critical that Waipā District Council hasn’t come to the party. Add to that, he says he understands one of the CCTV cameras which are in operation and

should pick up number plates will only do so when the light is right. He’s also hot under the collar about the loss of carparking space in the CBD – but that’s another story. Wilkinson believes a Duke Street camera would catch criminals on the run. Two staff were on deck opening up at 5.45am when the armed robbery occurred. A red Mazda pulled up and three passengers, wearing sunglasses and Covid masks got out. They threatened one staff member then got into the building to steal vapes, raid the cash drawer, take cigarette papers, filters and lighters and then, in Wilkinson’s word “tried to trash the place”. He believes at least one may not have been wearing gloves. The robbers are all thought to be male teenagers. Wilkinson has pitched for a CCTV camera to cover Duke St without success – and says he would happily pay for the power and provide a site. He doesn’t think the present coverage from the Waikato Expressway along Victoria Street then onto Cook and Shakespeare streets and the Leamington Shopping Centre is enough. And he thinks last week’s robbery at the garage he has been at for 25 years and on the road he has walked for 68 has proved his point Dave Wilkinson want to see a camera installed to cover Duke Street from his garage looking that more camera are needed. into town, and Anzac Street.

Four! Council back on budget tee By Mary Anne Gill

Resetting the budget became harder than expected for Waipā council this week with informed sources telling The News elected councillors are applying pressure on staff to scrap “nice to haves”. A public workshop on the Long Term Plan financial overview was cancelled for the second time yesterday although a public excluded workshop on major projects went ahead later in the day. And the 90 minutes allocated for that secret meeting, held after The News went to press, was expected to test which of the four projects could be deferred to keep rates manageable. Even before the government

signalled it would cancel the Three Waters legislation and hand control of water assets back to councils, Waipā had budget issues. The asset sales which were expected to fund big projects have not happened with the amount and regularity expected. Now with those water costs back in the Long Term Plan, discretionary spending is in the spotlight. Likely victims are the upgrade of the 19m high Cambridge Water Tower – councillors are expected to vote for the Category Two heritage building to be demolished for about $700,000 rather than spend the $6 million fixing it up. And a new $28 million Cambridge Library/Community Hub is another that might have to wait. That leaves the $6.3 million for

the Cambridge Town Hall and $33 million for Te Ara Wai – both reliant on external funding as well – still in the mix. Of the two, the museum has attracted the most attention, with good reason. Costs have gone from the $7.2 million mooted in the 20182028 Long Term Plan to $33 million. The News has been told Te Awamutu Museum’s collection of artefacts and archives of national importance along with the opportunity to tell the New Zealand Land Wars’ Waipā stories, need public visibility. A source said the Waikato Regional Museum in Hamilton, one of the largest regional museums in New Zealand, has the space to accommodate some of those taonga

in its 2550m2. While there are no current plans to do that, Waikato Museum and Arts director Liz Cotton said she worked closely with other museum colleagues to share ideas and opportunities. Uenuku, a Tainui taonga recovered from Ngā Roto in 1906 and jewel in Te Awamutu’s crown as one New Zealand’s oldest Māori carvings, is in storage and costing the council money in security. It would attract a lot of interest if on display in Hamilton with other artefacts. The future of community boards was another public excluded workshop item at yesterday’s meeting. The News sought further information on this item presented by consultant Steven Finlay.

Apartments open with a message By Mary Anne Gill

It’s the conversation no-one wants to have – moving into a rest home - but having it with family sooner rather than later makes life better for everyone. Cambridge Resthaven chief executive David Hall has been in the retirement industry for more than two decades and has seen some epic family fall outs through lack of communication. “It becomes a tough talk for families,” he told The News at the karakia for the charitable trust’s new $18.5 million supportive living apartments on Monday. Ngāti Koroki Kahukura’s Harry Wilson banished the bad spirits from the building during the karakia. New residents start moving in later this week. “I’ve developed a feeling that

the people who do it earlier and have quite open and meaningful conversations with their families, do that much better because they’re not coming (to us) in crisis,” said Hall. “The ones who come in in crisis, invariably don’t work out.” They feel they are being forced, by life and their families, into a rest home when they want to stay in their own homes. And that is never a good experience for anyone, he said. Planning for the supportive living apartments began seven years ago but Covid thwarted progress on the extensive project. People viewing the apartments have asked about car parking space. “But as we point out to them, if you’re still driving, you may not be the clientele we’re after.”

It is for people who do not need rest home care yet but are just starting to need support. “That is our target audience.” The apartments are ready for adaptions, such as the installation of hoists. “They’re not there now but they’re there for down the track. “They (residents) will come in to their own homes and stay. We’re not going to move them into a care centre. We were always adamant about their model of care and keep

that independence as much as we can.” Access to two electric cars for those that still do drive and to mobility scooters for others is built into the service fee. Most of the enquiries for the apartments have come from within Cambridge which Hall said was good for the community given Resthaven’s 52-year history. Stage one includes 33 apartments, a café, dining room, lounge and a corner shop.

The first building is named the Hanlin Building, recognising the generous contribution by the Hanlin sisters in the late 1960s which helped establish Resthaven. The Resthaven board decided to include two rental studios in the design. The News understands they have already attracted interest from residents whose tenancy at the nearby Swedish-owned retirement giant Metlifecare’s St Andrew’s Village is ending.

AGE OF REASON

We’re out of cruise control

By Peter Carr

The Gaza-Houthi issue came close to home this week when the shipping company with whom we were set to travel from Singapore to Athens next month pulled the plug on the whole journey. This, a long-planned and paid-for trip (possibly the last major international excursion for us both), had a heap of personal history within due to the ports of call. Some of which stretch back to my early sea-going days in the late 1950s. Nostalgia at its best. I suppose we should have expected it. The planned call at Ashdod in Israel which was to be a highlight - as I have frequently expressed a desire to visit Jerusalem - was pulled three weeks ago and a Greek island substituted as ‘compensation’. The writing on the wall should have been clear at that moment especially with my professional maritime experience. The marine insurance industry are a canny bunch of operators who have, over centuries, learned to deal with the tricks of shipowners. The insurers will have informed the cruise company that the cost of cover would escalate wildly – or possibly disappear altogether – if they stuck the bow of the ship into the southern entrance to the Red Sea. With forward commitments for the northern hemisphere summer cruising the Mediterranean they are now faced with an extremely lengthy passage deadheading around the horn of Africa to keep their word with those clients. Strangely the Houthi thrust and the HamasIsraeli conflict are not directly linked for the latter is being generously (?) fed by the United States who continue to pour billions of dollars into Israel to feed an historical frenzy of which the world has become very tired. Yet both the US and the British bombarded Houthi sites

inside mainland Yemen without an invitation from the local government. Meanwhile the US has now taken precipitous air strikes in Syria and Iraq in retaliation against the deaths of three US soldiers who were stationed on the northern border of Jordan. It may become a very ugly situation with Iran stoking the fires of dissent and no sensible solution in sight - and that sleeping giant Hezbollah sitting on the southern end of Syria well placed to add to the inferno in nearby northern Israel. Currently there is no direct link to the sad Ukraine conflict - other than they are geographically quite close - but it only takes a lunatic thrust by some small neo-religious group to widen the ring of fire. And here we sit at the bottom end of the Pacific in our wee town, struggling to negotiate the orange cones that Waipa DC’s roading manager scatters at random, closing streets and placing highly aggravating and poorly signed steep ramps into the roads. No explanation, no apology, intent no doubt on attending yet another secret council meeting that clearly frustrates at least one councillor. Roger Gordon appears to be the only elected Cambridge representative who understands democracy and transparency. Where are the explanations? Where is the justification for the highly expensive and hugely empty cycling paths that are a part cause of this roading mayhem? Why are cyclists still riding on the main roads two abreast paying scant regard to their and vehicular drivers’ safety? Third world comfort anyone?

Spatial plan insights revealed By Mary Anne Gill

Ōhaupō – the town of the future. That is the scenario and one of several key focus areas included in consultation documents for Waipā’s spatial plan Ahu Ake which the council’s Strategic Planning and Policy committee approved yesterday (Wednesday). From around 2045, the village will grow by several thousand driven by growth from Hamilton south and the availability of a high-frequency bus service and wastewater, the documents say. Ōhaupō/Rotopiko will become a highly desirable destination and part of the wetland/cultural heritage/mountain offerings of the district. A National Wetland Centre at Rotopiko could support this

through tourism and educational offerings and may benefit from a destination management plan. High economic growth will also continue in and around Hamilton Airport and Hautapu while there would be more housing choices – like small apartments, townhouses and duplexes – in Cambridge and Te Awamutu to accommodate the growing population. Once the Cambridge to Piarere national road of significance work is completed, and SH1 has been realigned, the council would lobby for Karāpiro School to be moved into the village or ensure there were good connections to the existing school. Working alongside mana whenua, there would be more recreational and cultural areas and better facilities created around

Lake Karāpiro to attract more visitors. Consultation on Ahu Ake started in 2020 and engagement undertaken with mana whenua, key stakeholders and the wider community. A Back to the Land scenario is now included which shows papakāinga developments across the district, revitalised marae, more young people living in rural environments, and people commuting less as work arrangements become more flexible and working from home becomes more the norm. World Café workshops last year added to the consultative process. Formal consultation with the public starts later this year. Other key focuses in Ahu Ake are: • Protecting and improving Waipā’s at-risk

peat lakes and investing in the creation and protection of a network of ecological reserves linking them with Pirongia, Kakepuku and Maungatautari mountains. • Investing in frequent public transport options and introducing a service between Cambridge and Te Awamutu. • Better walking and cycling connections. • Improving how the district recognises and showcases art, architecture, events and design that connects with Waipā’s history. • Invigorating town centres by making them more vibrant by improving existing spaces, such as town hall, parks and plazas which allow people to connect. • Completing and extend the recreational cycleway network linking Pirongia, Ngā Roto, Ōhaupō and Te Awamutu.

Following up on events at Waitangi on our National Day a rubric of the present Coalition Government as stated by all the partners of that Coalition, is the encouragement of a better understanding of Te Tiriti o Waitangi/The Treaty of Waitangi in order to foster a unity amongst all those who belong to this country, Aotearoa/New Zealand. We should, and most of us do, welcome that sentiment wholeheartedly. Te Tiriti/The Treaty, its importance to and impacts on Aotearoa/New Zealand, has long been a topic of discussion and debate on every marae, at every Māori event of any note throughout the land. Other-than-Māori communities and individuals have joined that discussion in particular since Dame Claudia Orange’s seminal 1987 text and the subsequent sesquicentennial celebrations of the signing of Te Tiriti/The Treaty in 1990. The adoption (principally by Government Departments) of the “… three ’P’s’ of the Treaty …” as the principles of partnership, participation, and protection was an assertion by those government departments that those three principles underpinned the relationship between the government and Māori under the Treaty of Waitangi. Those three principled words do not appear anywhere in the original wording of the English version of the Treaty, nor do they appear in translation in the Māori of Te Tiriti. Yet they gained a considerable support from a significant number of New Zealanders. Over the next few weeks I intend to provide some commentary for the readership of Te Awamutu and Cambridge News on perspectives on Te Tiriti o Waitangi

- The Treaty. That commentary will be a considered, personal opinion of Te Tiriti/The Treaty’s importance to us in this area and further afield. I am hopeful that it might contribute to the discussion under way. Underpinning my discourse is my whakapapa not only to my WaikatoManiapoto, Ngāti Apakura ancestry and but also to my descent from my parents’ Irish, Scottish, and English forbears. I begin this commentary with the Contra Preferentem’ rule, which is a legal doctrine recognising that where the terms of an agreement may be ambiguous, the preferred meaning should be the one that works against the interests of the party who provided the original wording, That is, the Māori Language translation of the Treaty takes precedence over the English. Next week I will discuss the introductory preamble to the articles and the fourth, oral article which many commentators ignore, and the English and Māori versions.

A plant to hot to handle? By Roy Pilott

Waipā District Council met yesterday to discuss asking the environment minister to review the application for a giant incinerator in Te Awamutu. The recommendation, approved by group manager Wayne Allan, was hardly a surprise – it would be a significant surprise if councillors disagreed. Waikato Regional Council “passed in” the application from Global Energy Solutions late last year – the decision was made at staff level. Staff from both councils discussed the issue, but at Waipā the decision is made by elected councillors. Waipā’s Strategic Planning and Policy committee had it as a 30 minute agenda item yesterday morning. The application is one of two plans in the headlines for Waipā – in Pirongia the decision to go ahead with a cell phone tower in the town centre will be opposed by a reformed lobby group. See that story today on page 3. There has been strong lobbying – including a street march – opposed to the Paewira incineration plant, and that would surely result in hostilities towards either

council if the proposal was approved at local level. Global Contracting Solutions Limited plans to build a plant in Racecourse Road to incinerate 150,000 tonnes of rubbish a year, recover 80 tonnes of recyclable materials a day and generate enough energy to power 15,000 homes. District Growth manager Wendy Robinson said of the two options open to council – use independent commissioners or request a call in – the latter was recommended because it would ensure “the ability for cohesive processing of the local authority resource consents which would provide clear and consistent decision making, is less confusing for the community and others involved, and not as expensive for the applicant compared to if there were two hearing processes”. It was possible Environment minister Penny Simmonds may “call in” the application anyway – because the regional council has gone down that path. The minister had not planned to make a decision before Waipā announced its intentions. Simmonds has been the

Residents marched in Te Awamutu in October to oppose the planned plant.

National MP for Invercargill since 2020 but sits outside Cabinet. Debate over the plant was considerable in August through to October last year. In August Zero Waste Network general manager Dorte Gray, announced “we worked with the Feilding community and mana whenua to stop the waste-toenergy proposal in Feilding. We will do the same in Te Awamutu.” He said incinerators were

just another form of disposal like landfill and “this one would have a dramatic climate impact”. Te Awamutu-Kihikihi Community Board members also voiced their opposition and heard from both sides last October. Before this week the matter had not been discussed in public by Waipā district councillors. The council received almost 900 responses after advertising the application

to build the plant – the most it has received for a resource consent application and the “vast majority” opposed it, a council statement announced in October. That month a street protest behind the a ‘Don’t Burn Waipā’ banner was held in Te Awamutu. The company behind the plan, Global Contracting Solutions, presents an entirely different picture of the proposal and says it is a Māori owned company with

mana whenua support. In December its national business manager Roger Wilson said it was appreciated many New Zealanders would not be familiar with the benefits of the energy from waste plant process, or the positive environmental impact it would have, “especially compared to traditional waste processes like landfill and thermal electricity generation in Aotearoa New Zealand”

Sampling a lava flow

We are specialists in Heating, Cooling, Ventilation, and Air Purification for Homes, Rentals, Businesses, and Commercial Buildings

By Janine Krippner

Lava is hot. It flows downhill. Seems simple right? I am currently working on lava flows, so here is a wee glimpse into one of the things I am thinking about – lava rheology. This is one of the reasons you see volcanologists in silver thermal suits grabbing samples of lava during an eruption. And yes, I would love to do that. Rheology is basically how lava or magma flows, and it is one of the most important factors when it comes to what sort of eruption we will get, what the hazards and impacts will be, and even if we will get an eruption at all. A reminder that magma is when it is below ground, and lava is once it has come out at the surface. Magma/lava is a complex material and has a very wide range of viscosities, or how much it resists flowing. It is much harder for highly viscous magma/ lava to flow. An example is toothpaste having a higher viscosity than water, it doesn’t flow as easily. Rheology depends on several factors that change through time and space, as it moves through the crust or over the surface as a lava flow. This includes the composition of the magma – what is its chemistry, or the elements (oxygen, silicon, aluminium, iron, calcium, sodium, etc) that make up the magma? Do we have high amounts of SiO2 (silica or silicon dioxide) that make it a very sticky/viscous melt? How hot is it? Cooler flows have higher viscosities and flow slower, while hotter flows generally have a lower viscosity and can flow faster. What componentry or different bits make up the mixture? Is it made of pure melt, or do we also have solid crystals or rock and

gas bubbles? Is there so much solid material that it locks up and never erupts? After we sample lava and do various complex tests back in the laboratory, we answer a lot of important questions that tell us about the lava and the magma system below the volcano. A key magma question is how easily can gas be released as it moves towards the surface? When gas comes out of the melt and starts to form bubbles, can they move through the magma and escape? Or is it a very viscous magma that traps the gas, building pressure towards the end, resulting in an explosive eruption as the gas blows the magma apart into volcanic ash? Or does the magma rise too quickly for the gas to effectively escape? Once we have a lava flow at the surface, the rheology is one control on where the lava will go. This is alongside the changing effusion rate (for example six cubic metres versus 500 cubic metres of lava coming out of the vent every second), the shape of the land, the volume of lava erupted, and for how long. Keep in mind that the lava changes the shape of the land as it goes. We use computer models that can include different estimated, or preferably measured properties of the lava and landscape to determine which areas are more likely to be impacted by the flow, a critical question for impacted communities. The next time you see footage of a volcanologist braving the intense heat of a lava flow to grab a sample, you know why.

Neville Clark can spot a champion polo horse a mile off. He spins around in the assembly area at Mystery Creek Polo Club and points out millions of dollars’ worth of horse flesh. The Gisborne auctioneer brought 10 of his best polo horses to Waipā for the Festival of Polo, as did other New Zealand owners. Six hundred horses in all. Members of the Australian polo teams had their pick of what Clark described as “the best horsepower on show” and as good as anything else in the world. Driving rain and wind on Friday marred the opening day for spectators but conditions suited the thoroughbred horses selected to play in the men’s and women’s Australia vs New Zealand test matches.

The Kiwis won the women’s match 5-3 while the tables were turned in a high-scoring men’s match with the Australians winning 9-7. Waipā’s contributions came from Kihikihi mother and daughter Alice Collins and Grace Gower who sang the national anthems. Legendary jumps jockey and trainer Ann Browne threw the ball to start the opening chukka in the test match which featured her granddaughter Missy Browne, the Kiwi captain. Australia’s Bianca Jane Drake felt right at home as she has based herself in Leamington for several months. By Sunday the weather at the polo club, home to New Zealand polo legends John-Paul and Nina Clarkin - had warmed up for finals day with teams competing in several grades. All told 1635 visitors enjoyed the polo action featuring 240 players and grooms. Continued next page

Polo horses come to the sport via the thoroughbred industry and are bred for racing. “They may not have made it on the track, but they become very, very good at polo,” says Clark. “We’ve got some of the best horses in the world on the back of how we’ve bred our horses over the years.” The horses are three to four years in the making to become the ultimate sports animal in the oldest ball sport in the world. In New Zealand the Savile Cup, believed to be the country’s oldest sporting trophy, will be played later this month in Kihikihi and Cambridge starting February 27. Horses can play up till they are 15, says Clark. “They’re fed twice a day, well shod and in immaculate order. A horse won’t conduct itself and play the game if it’s not in them.” The horses know their way around the polo field too despite their riders sometimes. “They’ll follow the ball, they’ll read what’s going on.” The horses are switched by players every three to four minutes, ensuring the dynamic

Recently I enjoyed watching the 1985 music video of the song “We Are The World”. This collaborative effort by ‘United Support of Artists for Africa’ (usaforafrica.org) showed what can happen if motivated people unite for a common purpose. More than 45 artists came together in a spirit of unity doing what they do best. (Amazing for creatives). It features conductor-songwriter Quincy Jones, Michael Jackson, Lionel Richie, Billy Joel, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Dan Akyroyd, Kim Carnes, Cyndi Lauper, Paul Simon, Willie Nelson, Kenny Rogers plus dozens of other superstars. “We Are The World” raised over $100 million to relieve famine in Africa. Its lyrics struck a chord in countless millions of hearts and I think highlighted the deep longing to make positive things happen together, through harmony and unity. “There comes a time, When we heed a certain call, When the world must come together as one...” I long to see us coming together as ‘one’ in Aotearoa New Zealand. After several years with issue after issue creating division and divergent opinions pushing New Zealanders apart, the aggressive rhetoric of the last election

campaign capped off the sense of injury felt by Māori and non-Māori alike. Thus it was, at the end of last year, Kīngi Tūheitia issued a royal proclamation calling for a hui-ā-motu, or national hui, “to unify the nation” at Turangawaewae Marae. Initial estimates were that around 3000 might attend the Ngāruawāhia gathering on January 20. But the call grabbed the hearts of Māori (and many Pakeha), as something really significant. The result approximately 10,000 people attended. “Unifying the nation” was something that resonated enough to galvanise hearts and minds of iwi after iwi…from Ngāpuhi in the north to Ngāi Tahu in the south, they came…significantly, those iwi who don’t see Kīngi Tūheitia as their king responding. Māori united to stand as one and support one another in the face of their challenges and desire to be heard and understood. This hui offered a sense of hope that through listening, there might be a way forward which could advance better understanding of the Treaty of Waitangi, to see it implemented and engrafted as it was intended. In a polarised world, listening

respectfully to one another really matters. By all accounts the hui showed a commitment to that. Accepting the viewpoint of others, does not mean wholesale embracing their ideas, neither is tolerating the thoughts of others that diverge from our own, tantamount to agreement. Unity accommodates diversity. Jenny Shipley was at the hui and said, ‘…the concept of national unity, while it‘s elusive, is an enormously important ambition…’ Is unity really that ‘elusive’? Disunity, the alternative, is perpetuated when we refuse to ‘heed the call’ to resist prideful arrogance, believing we have the ‘inside track’ on everything. Could a culture of humility and forgiveness undo the emerging culture in New Zealand of rejecting views other than our own, each retreating to our isolating silos of ‘rightness’? A Biblical Psalm proposes, ‘How good and pleasant it is when people live together in unity.” Significantly, it concludes, “For there the Lord bestows His blessing, even life forevermore.”
