Jim’s new team…

Mayor Jim Mylchreest will welcome nine sitting Waipa District councillors back to the table. The changes were inevitable – Cambridge had an extra seat and Judy Bannon and Sue Milner (Cambridge ward) and Vern Wilson (Te Awamutu) did not seek re-election. Jim Mylchreest

Lou Brown in Te Awamutu (no relation to sitting councillor Andrew Brown) and Mike Pettit, Philip Coles and Roger Gordon progress from community board to district council level. Today we review the results, hear from the incoming and outgoing councillors, discuss voter turnout and look at how balanced the new council is. See stories, starting on Page 7.

MacPherson joins regional council

Waikato Regional Council will see one new councillor and a returning councillor for the Waipa-King Country general constituency, with Andrew MacPherson elected for the first time, and former Cambridge News Country Life columnist Stu Kneebone returning to council for his fourth term. MacPherson, a Cambridge native and now-Te Awamutu resident, said what was most important to him was making sure the regional council operates as a high-performance team. “That’s what the voters deserve and expect.” He was excited at the prospect of entering political life, having been a businessman and former vet in Te Awamutu. “I’m very pleased I got the return I did, I think it’s a very strong mandate. I’m pleased for

Stuart Kneebone too. “It will be a steep learning curve but I’m up for that.” MacPherson said one of his big focuses heading into council would be sticking to the Long Term Plan, and making sure the "Proposed Plan Change 1" - which seeks to reduce the amount of contaminants entering into the Waikato and Waipā river catchments and applies to 10,000 properities – will be implemented in a way which doesn’t harm farmers but still helps the environment. “A lot of people in the farming community are quite anxious about that piece of legislation,” he said. “So I’m going to make sure that plan is implemented in a commercially sound way.” The other candidate running for the Waipa-King Country

constituency was Dan Armstrong, who received less than half the number of votes than Kneebone and MacPherson in the preliminary results. The regional council election also saw Angela Strange and Jennifer Nickel elected for the first time for the Hamilton constituency, Denis Tegg entering his first term for Thames-Coromandel and Pamela Storey and Keith Holmes elected for the first time for the Waikato constituency. Former Waipa Mayor and Pirongia resident Alan Livingston was one of four regional councillors to retire this year, after six years on the regional council, including the previous term as chairman. “For the last 15 years as mayor and then regional council chair there has been a total commitment to the job, including eve-

Andrew MacPherson

nings and weekends,” he said. “I’m very grateful to have had the opportunity, but the time is right for me to step back and spend more time with my family and grandchildren and enjoy some projects

that have been put on the back burner.” Final election results – including the special votes – will be available by Friday, October 18. See our election wrap up starting on Page 7.

Speedsters get message

Cars speeding through a Cambridge Road detour have slowed down after safety concerns were raised by residents. Waipa District Council is installing a bulk raw water main on Cambridge Road, resulting in daytime weekday traffic being detoured along Lamb Street, Roto O Rangi Road and McLarnon Road. The detour, which has been in place for Te Awamutu-bound vehicles since 1 October 2019, has sparked a number of calls to council from residents concerned about speed and poor driver behaviour. In response, council’s roading team has reduced the 100km speed limit with a tem-

porary 80km speed limit along a section of Roto O Rangi road and on McLarnon Road. The change is effective immediately and will be in place for the duration of the detour. Programme manager Marie McIntyre said the decreased speed will be welcomed by residents and that Council was happy to take the feedback on board. “The detour will be in place for 18 weeks so reducing speed where we can will help residents who already dealing with an increase in traffic.” The bulk water main has an asset lifetime

of 100 years and is part of a major infrastructure project connecting two water schemes to improve and secure water for Te Awamutu and surrounding areas. The new infrastructure will also provide resilience across the district’s water network over time. The detour and project works will halt during the Christmas/New Year period (21 December 2019 to 6 January 2020).

KO blow to Boxing Day races By Sophie Iremonger

Oxfords Clothing store manager Daniel Smith assesses the damage to the Duke St store window. Inset: The slab of concrete used to try and break in.

Waipa District Council installed CCTV cameras in the Cambridge CBD last week – about the same time burglars struck at Oxfords Clothing on Duke St. Two CBD cameras were installed on Monday and Tuesday last week – one near the town clock, the other near the Fort Street and Victoria Street intersection. At 1am Tuesday morning, robbers tried and failed to break into the clothing store. A concrete slab was used to attempt to get in, but the alarm was set off the thieves ran away empty handed. Police have tested the slab for DNA

and fingerprints. They would not say whether or not CCTV in the area had been reviewed as part of their investigation but asked anyone with information about the incident to phone 105 and quote file number 191008/1796. Oxfords Clothing store manager Daniel Smith said he was frustrated by the attempted burglary but satisfied with the prompt response by Cambridge security firm Watchu. “Thankfully nothing was taken. The local businesses and Cambridge residents have come out and really

shown their sympathy and support.” Store owner Donna Devcich said she was humbled by the community response in the days following the incident and had looked forward to the installation of CCTV cameras in the CBD. “Clearly some are taking advantage of the lack of surveillance around town,” she said. “The new CCTV cameras will make a difference, not only for the security of our shops but also the safety of local residents and visitors, by providing a safer environment for our growing community.” By Sophie Iremonger

The Pirongia Races will not by run this year. The popular event - which is more than 150 years old - is a Waikato tradition and staged at the Pirongia Golf Course every Boxing Day. But organisers say they have been overwhelmed by red tape restrictions and ran the event in 2018 despite have a shrinking number of volunteers. It had diminishing returns and dwindling crowds after the gallops at the races were cancelled for health and safety reasons, leaving only the harness racing. Event organiser Don Macky said they didn’t want to keep losing money, so for now they would ‘sit on’ what funds they had left for the event, and look at doing it again in the future. “Hopefully at some stage we’ll be able to go again,” he said. “For now it’s going into recess for a year or two to see how things pan out.” In its glory days the races drew 12,000 strong crowds and was still attracting about 5000 when it celebrated 150 years in 2016. For the greater Waikato the demise of Boxing Day races sees a second significant town event collapse. The one-day Battle of the Streets event in Paeroa, launched in 1991 attracted riders from overseas - but the 2018 event was the last. In announcing the end of the event last year, Paeroa Promotions Trust president Jo Tilsey blamed rising costs and falling spectator numbers. The event, was described as a staple of the motorcycle racing calendar, and it attracted as many as 15000 spectators. But, as with the Pirongia races, it became financially unviable.

Spreading the love around Leamington’s Jumble Around charity op shop’s annual community funding round for 2019 involves a record sum for a record number of recipients. Almost $132,000 has been distributed to 104 Cambridge community groups, schools, sports clubs and charities, including the Cambridge Community House, Cambridge Life Skills, Cambridge Riding for the Disabled and Kids in Need Waikato. Jumble Around, established in 1968, runs its op shop with 36 volunteers to raise funds. ‘The community helps us too. So, I think the more we spread it around the more we get coming back in,” Jumble Around president Marianne Jarvie said. Volunteer Mary Walters said, “without the community we wouldn’t have a shop”.

Cambridge Community House received $5000 in the annual funding round. “It enables us to keep the doors open and keep our community well and do what we do for our community,” said Harriet Dixon, the community house general manager. Linda Roil, founder of Kids in Need Waikato said Jumble Around’s help made a significant difference. A total of $3500 was donated this year to the Cambridge-based organisation, which supports children being raised in foster care or not by their biological parent. Both organisations said the funding came at a perfect time with just 10 weeks until Christmas. Jumble Around is at 183 Shakespeare St, Cambridge. By Sophie Iremonger

Climate change action should be realistic By Sophie Iremonger

Climate change was a hot topic at Louise Upston’s latest Friendly Forum in Cambridge last week, which appeared to attract a record turnout for 2019 with over 30 people attending the local MP’s public meeting. Following on from the Student Strike for Climate at the end of last month, which took place in city centres in New Zealand and around the world, Upston said it was “outrageous and irresponsible for anyone to suggest to a young person in this country that the world will be over in 10 or 12 or 20 years”. “That is absolutely not accurate and there are no signs out there that backs that up,” she said. “Do we have a challenge, absolutely, are there actions we need to take, absolutely. What is far more responsible is for there to be clear actions that individuals can take at home,” she said, citing efforts like car usage, water usage, electricity use and waste minimisation as realistic ways individuals could make a difference. “Those are practical sensible things that every single one of us can do. But instead, what’s happening in education is, there are far too many school kids coming away from school with this absolute over the top fear that the world is going to end, and I think that is irresponsible.” The only residents to voice disagreement with Upston, citing a need for more urgent action - News letter writers Michael Cole and Brian Dunstan - were hushed by the rest of the audience which appeared to agree with Upston. “The challenge though is when you’re dealing with something like climate change, it’s a matter of how far and how fast we act, and I think that’s where there’s big room for disagreement,” Upston said. “What we do want to make sure is that any changes that we make are based on science, based on evidence, and are practical, sensible and made in a way that New Zealand as a society and as a community can cope with. “We want to make sure that we’re protecting our environment and that our children and grandchildren have a wonderful country to inherit, but it’s how far we go and how fast.

Louise Upston’s Friendly Forum in Cambridge last week attracted a full house at the Cambridge Health and Community Centre.

“What we don’t want to do is move significantly faster than any other country in the world, because our economy is already going backwards. We will go a whole lot further back is we get ahead of our trading partners and lose our export opportunities because we’ve destroyed parts of our food production sector. “If by ‘changes’ we make it too hard for the asparagus grower or the dairy farmer or the lamb producer, then guess what, they’re grown in Russia or Spain or China or in South America, in an environmentally less sustainable manner – that’s not good for the globe and that’s not good for mankind.”

Bronze award for photographer By Sophie Iremonger

Cambridge photographer Katie Hurlow has won two accoldaes in the Rise International Photography awards. The Cambridge woman won bronze for both the wedding category and the children’s category, after submitting her work two hours before the entry deadline. “I’m so glad I did, simply to hear the judges’ feedback and to know how my work stacks up against photographers from around the world,” she said. “Family photography is my great love, probably because I have three little people myself, and I recognise that we don’t get to have these days over again,” said Hurlow, a newKatie Hurlow born and wedding photographer. “I want to remember what they looked like when they lost their first tooth or cut their own fringe. And most of all, I want them to remember more than what we looked like in a ‘say cheese’ photo. One her favourite aspects of photography, Hurlow said, was the “relationship aspect” – “how they look at one another and laugh with each other,” she said. “The authentic moments and real life.”

An election in review

The News looks at the now completed local body elections from the perspective of voter numbers and candidate engangement with a platform to freely give their views on issues we quizzed them on. Some candidates spurned the opportunity to communicate with voters through our pages – and notably, Te Awamutu ward candidate Temese Cassidy did not provide a profile or answer any questions until we did a final wrap question last Friday, to run after the polls closed. Cassidy is young, intelligent “of a diverse sexual idenity” and Māori. He ticks the boxes but finished eighth in a field of 13. He listed as one of his goals “inspiring young people to engage meaningfully with local government to build a sustainable future”. We hope he seeks election again in 2022, and that his engagement will extend to communicating with readers during his campagn through our pages. Which is not to suggest there was a link

The big picture:

Waipa Waipa District Council comprises a mayor and 13 councillors. The wards are Cambridge (5 councillors), Kakepuku 1, Maungatautari 1, Pirongia 2, and Te Awamutu 4. There are two community boards – Cambridge and Te Awamutu. Cambridge comprises eight members including one appointed from the Cambridge Ward and one appointed from the Maungatautari Ward. Te Awamutu Community Board comprises seven members including one from the Kakepuku Ward, a councillor appointed from the Te Awamutu Ward and a councillor appointed from the Kakepuku Ward. Mayor James Jim Mylchreest unopposed. WARDS Cambridge: Liz Stolwyk 2,954, Mike Pettit 2,943,

Philip Coles 2,207, Grahame Webber 2,020, Roger Gordon 1,844.

Te Awamutu: Hazel Barnes 2,082, Marcus Gower 1,879, Andrew Brown 1,805, Lou Brown 1,402.

between responses and results. Indeed, Sue Milner polled second in the Cambridge Community Board race and responded only twice to our questions. She was already well known in the electorate as an outgoing Waipa District Councillor. But this is a growing electorate where voter numbers are not rising in tandem. If our readers see candidates who elect not to communicate with them during a campaign, is it a great surprise to see voting rates falling again? The new face in Te Awamutu, Lou Brown, responded to all our questions. The sitting and re-elected candidates Andrew Brown (3), Hazel Barnes (2), and Marcus Gower (4) were not as prolific. And in Cambridge Philip Coles (5 responses), and Roger Gordon (6), were also regular respondents in becoming new councillors.

Mike Pettit, who has enjoyed a high profile as a Community Board chair, responded thrice. Sitting members Grahame Webber, the deputy mayor for the last three years, responded three times, sitting councillor Liz Stolwyk 5. The Te Awamutu Community Board was filled on the day nominations were announced – but in Cambridge nine sought five seats, including four who put a bob each way and also stood for the full council The two candidates who responded the least to our questions - Ron Geck (2), and Les Bennett (1), trailed the field on Saturday. The News applauds the candidates – successul and unsuccessful – for being prepared to stand for election. As any experienced councillor will testify, the hours can be long, much of the work is beind the scenes and it doesn’t always attract the acnowldgement it deserves.

We look at how the elections played out in Waipa and Otorohanga. These are the preliminary results.

Waipā voters were among the more reluctant in the country to go to the polls, and that may have had something to do with the absence of a mayoral race. Jim Mylchreest was assured of another term back in August when the returning officer released the list of nominations. In Otorohanga Max Baxter faced two opponents, but whether that is why Waipa’s voting rate at 35 per cent trailed its neighbour by 10 is questionable. There was no need for elections in three Waipa and two Otorohanga district council wards – and Te Awamutu’s Community Board attracted the same number of nominations as there were positions. Number wise the keenest races were to be had in the Te Awamutu and Cambridge district wards though, and since the end of August the News has provided those candidates

On behalf of the Cambridge Community Board I wish to thank the community for your engagement, support and active participation in our community. We had our last meeting as a board earlier this month. We have members standing down having given six to 15 years of community service, namely Julie Epps and John Bishop. I wish to thank our board for their dedication and commitment to our community through the board itself and the various other groups that each belong within Cambridge. Some of the highlights over the past nine years have been advocating and finally getting our police numbers back up in Cambridge, upgrading the Victoria Bridge clip on walkways, footpath upgrades and widen of future paths, widening of St Kilda Road, Anzac Eve Light Show, extending the bus service from and around Cambridge, supporting and giving feedback and feed forward on infrastructure and industrial expansion projects, linking community groups and working with some great Waipa DC staff over the years. On behalf of the community each year, we have made submissions to either the Annual or 10-Year Plan Review. The board have thoroughly enjoyed the annual rural tours and acknowledge the great contribution our rural community make to our local community and economy. Though some struggle with the sister-city concept, as a board we totally believe in cross-country relations and enjoy the special relationships Cambridge has with both Le

The town is on the cusp of a new growth surge. Lake Te Koo Utu is an area where we believe water quality can be greatly improved and through various initiatives the surrounding lakeside areas can be further enhanced. The number one disappointment has been NZTA’s lame excuses for not reintroducing the practical drivers licence test back to Cambridge. I have very much enjoyed my time on the board, the past six years as chairperson. I wish the new board every success over the coming years. We have some great young people coming through and I know our community will continue to use the board to advocate to council on behalf of the wider community.

Women dominate Cambridge board

Four members of the Cambridge Community Board elected on Saturday night are women. And Liz Stolwyk and Hazel Barnes also topped the polls in the races in Cambridge and Awamutu wards respectively for the district council. The Cambridge Community Board for the next three years comprises Sue Milner – who effectively swapped positions with former board chair Mike Pettit, Alana Mackay, Elise Badger, Jo Davies-Colley, Jim Goddin and Maungatautari representative Mike Montgomerie. In Cambridge Pettit is a new face on the district council along with Philip Coles and Roger Gordon. Grahame Webber completes the list. Te Awamutu will welcome one new face to represent the community. Lou Brown joins re-elected councillors Hazel Barnes, Marcus Gower and Andrew Brown. Hazel Barnes, who polled highest in the Te Awamutu ward, said she was surprised, given the high calibre of candidates. “I think we have a great crew and people the public can Hazel Barnes trust - we all have

the ability to achieve a lot and I think we will all work really well together.” Three district council ward positions were also filled without the need for elections - Clare St Pierre and Bruce Thomas represent the Pirongia ward, Susan O’Regan Kakepuku councillor and Elwyn Andree-Wiltens was also elected unopposed for Maungatautari ward. The Te Awamutu Community Board is unchanged - Angela Holt, Jill Taylor, Gary Derbyshire and Richard Hurrell were declared elected when nominations closed. Kane Titchener will be the Kakepuku community representative for the Te Awamutu community board. Voter turnout in Waipā district was lower than 2016 with an overall return rate of 35.62 percent across the district. Te Awamutu had 37.53 percent returned. Chief executive Garry Dyet said the high number of councillors elected unopposed in outer wards likely resulted in a decrease in voter turnout. In Pirongia, Maungatautari and Kakepuku wards, the mayor, councillors and Ngā Tai Ki Uta Māori representation for Waikato Regional Council were elected unopposed in August. Voting papers were only sent out for Waikato Regional Council general constituency representation and for Kakepuku community board representation. It is expected that this also impacted on overall lower turnout for Waipā.

 Elections

Dyet said it was pleasing to see an increase in returns from 7.7 percent returns on September 30 to 35.62 at the close of elections. “We knew there would be a drop due to the lack of mayoral race but overall I am still disappointed Liz Stolwyk in the lower voter turnout. For a business this size and how important council is to everyday life, we would have hoped more people took the time to vote.” Electoral officer, Warwick Lampp said the lack of a mayoral race is a contributing factor for any election. “For an election without a mayoralty race the return is often 10-15 percent less, so the turnout this year for Waipā is a good one despite that.” Governance manager Jo Gread says the swearing in of the new Council including the Te Awamutu Community Board chair will be held on November 1 at the induction day. “At this meeting, we will set the day and time for the first ordinary Council meeting. At the first ordinary Council meeting council standing committees will be on the agenda for consideration.”

Councillor opts for community board seat

Former Waipa councillor Sue Milner has described her retirement from council and re-election on to the Cambridge Community Board as the right step to take in local government. “I think for me three terms on Council is enough,” said Milner, who originally joined the Cambridge Community Board as a council representative. She had intended to stay on only with the Cambridge Community Board in the 2016 election,

but stayed on Council that year too. She cited a need for more young people as one of the driving forces behind her decision to step down from council. “It’s been great and quite an experience, but there is a point where you have to say someone else can do this,” she said. “I have always enjoyed the work of the Community Board, always proactive, and supportive of community

events and projects.” With outgoing Cambridge Community Board chairman Mike Petit jumping ship and only running for council this year, the space remains open for a new chair of the Cambridge Community Board. The first Cambridge Community Board meeting will be held early next month. Pettit is joined by Philip Coles and Roger Gordon in switching from the community board to council in this year’s election. Filling their

places on the board are three women new to local government – Alana Mackay, Elise Badger and Jo Davies-Colley. Mike Montgomerie was elected unopposed to represent Maungatautari, and Jim Goddin was elected to represent Cambridge alongside his female constituents. “I’m absolutely thrilled with the uptake (for women),” Goddin said. He said he had previously worked with some of the successful candidates

and they had worked well together.

Sue Milner

Online: the LGNZ view

Local Government New Zealand says online voting will not be a silver bullet for local body elections – but it is an option and the Government should consider supporting it. The News asked the LGNZ for comment after we sought views from candidates. “We know that post offices and boxes are dropping in number each year, and that we need to look at alternatives for voting, other than the postal system,” a spokesperson said. “Online voting is one option, but only if security concerns can be sufficiently satisfied. We know online voting isn’t a silver bullet for improving election turnout, but it is one option that could increase accessibility for people who may struggle with the current postal system.” Running online voting trials for the just completed election became too expensive for the group of seven councils and the LGNZ argues that a strong local democracy is a national good, and therefore worthy of national support from central government. “Booth voting is another option - either way we are encouraging central government to look at the legislation ahead of the next election,” the spokesperson said.

No representation for Maori in Waipa Waipa’s Maori candidates in the election for Waipa District Council have expressed disappointment at the election result – which yielded no representation for Maori in Waipa. “Waipā has a history for spearheading change for the benefit of all, yet the current system remains discriminatory towards Māori,” said Cassidy Temese, who ran for council under the Te Awamutu ward. “As an entity of the Crown, Waipā District Council has an obligation to uphold Te Tiriti o Waitangi, and meaningfully partner with Māori. However, this cannot happen when Māori are expected to stand against other candidates regardless that we represent a minority of the voting population, or with racist legislation that enacts a referendum for

Māori Wards.” Temese was one of two Māori candidates in the Waipa election, with Poto Davies running for the Cambridge Ward. “It was disheartening to see the region wide result where, aside from Community Boards, no Māori took any Council seats,” Davies said. “There is a case here for Nanaia Mahuta as Minister of Local Body Government to drive changes to the way that Māori wards are discriminated against via legislation. Council need to implement or duplicate the representation model that Hamilton City has introduced.” Temese said he strongly recommended Waipa District Council seriously consider “meaningful Māori representation”.

“This is not only an opportunity to show that Māori are respected as partners across all levels of Crown entities but also an opportunity to educate the rest of Aotearoa on the importance of strategic partnerships that honour all who call the Waipā home,” he said. “When it comes to Māori representation, Waipā couldn’t be more strategically placed to benefit from these meaningful relationships. The history of our Whenua is essential to forging informed new pathways forward.” Temese questioned whether the new council “even has the mandate to govern”, given the low voter return in this year’s election, which saw an overall return rate of 35.62 per cent across the district, with 39.19 per cent

for the Cambridge ward and 37.53 per cent for Te Awamutu. Temese declined to comment on his decision not to take part in the Cambridge and Te Awamutu News coverage of the election, which proposed weekly questions to the candidates over the last two months. Davies took part in the weekly questions, but said getting herself “out there” had been her downfall in the election. “Though I get to influence decisions about development and policy for Cambridge, this work is behind the scenes or out of the public and in reality that is how I like to operate. I don’t seek the limelight so having to campaign on the streets and get myself out there has been the biggest challenge and my weakness.”

Strong female representation for local government Women have seen a surge of support in the 2019 elections for Waipa District Council, with a strong female contingent elected for both Waipa District Council and the Cambridge Community Board. And in Otorohanga, three of the seven council seats are filled by women, as are two of the six community board posts. Across the two districts 42 positions were up for grabs when nominations opened – 15 have been filled by women. It may not represent parity – but the days of council being the almost exclusive domain of European males is history. Female councillors Liz Stolwyk

and Hazel Barnes were safely re-elected with the highest numbers of votes received in Cambridge and Te Awamutu wards based on preliminary votes. Outgoing councillor Sue Milner received the second highest number of votes onto the Cambridge Community Board, with fellow incoming board members Alana Mackay, Elise Badger and Jo Davies-Colley all receiving strong voter support. Jim Goddin was also elected onto the Cambridge Community Board, with Mike Montgomerie elected unopposed as Maungatautari representative. “I think it’s great that our women are stepping up and taking their

place in leadership,” Hazel Barnes said after her election onto the Te Awamutu Ward. “I’m really looking forward to working with the women, working together towards getting things done – which women are very good at.” She suggested a woman’s common sense and ability to solve problems would be an asset for the new council. Angela Holt and Jill Taylor were elected unopposed onto the Te Awamutu Community Board along with Gary Derbyshire and Richard Hurrell, and Kane Titchener as the Kakepuku community representative.

working with them both as well as Sue and Jim, who are, in their own right, fantastic and experienced candidates.” Liz Stolwyk said the female representation on Council and the Cambridge Community Board was an “excellent outcome” and she was pleased to see more women putting their names forward this year. Infrastructure upgrades and social services were on the agenda for the next term, Stolwyk said, along with improving Lake Te Koo Utu, the Cambridge Town Hall and looking at a feasibility study for a large indoor sports centre in Cambridge. The final results of the local body elections were due on October 17.

as were elected unopposed as Pirongia Ward Councillors and Susan O’Regan was elected unopposed for Kakepuku councillor. Elwyn Andree-Wiltens was also elected unopposed for the Maungatautari ward. “It’s great to see so many female candidates elected this year and greater diversity in all sectors of society means a wider representation of us all,” said Jo Davies-Colley, new to the Cambridge Community Board this year alongside Alana MacKay and Elise Badger. “Elise and Alana are both positive and dynamic people and both will bring different strengths and skills to the role.

Are we online for change in 2022?

Election candidates in Waipa have responded positively to suggestions it is time to take local body elections online. A dozen candidates for district council and communty boards responded to a News question on the issue last Friday – and just three rejected the suggestion. The turnout in the Waipa vote when polls closed last Saturday was under 35 percent - just over 13,000 voters returned forms, more than 25,500 did not. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern favours an introduction of online voting for the 2020 Local Body elections. And a working party for Auckland, Gisborne District, Hamilton City, Marlborough District, Matamata-Piako District, Palmerston North City, Selwyn District, Tau-

Roger Gordon

ranga City Council and Wellington City councils investigated online voting for this year, but announced last December the financial costs were too high. “...if we are serious about getting the younger generations to participate, then a move to a modern environment for voting is essential but it would need to be a combination of both, postal and online,” Cambridge Community Board member Roger Gordon said. He suggested there was an absence of contentous issues at tis election. “As I have done my campaigning I didn’t hear repeated concerns about any issue. From a candidate perspective, I would feel more confident if the result gives a clear mandate from the constituents. I believe that the Returning Officer from Electionz.com and the WDC have done a good job promoting the election. The regular features and advertising in the Cambridge News have kept the election in the public eye.” Online voting supporter Steve Grounds, an unsuccessful Cambridge ward candidate, also paid tribute to council staff for their work during the electon period. “However, I feel that we need to really understand the reason why between two thirds and half of eligible voters don't vote.” The naysayers were James Parlane and Cassidy Temese, who

were also-rans in the Te Awamutu ward, and Tate Kitchener, elected as Kakepuku reprentative on the Te Awamutu Community Board. Typically abrasive Parlane suggested “if voters are not motivated to fill in a form and post it back then nothing else will work either”. “Voting is one of the few demonstrations of democracy left in our society that people fought and died for and if people are not able to appreciate that then really I can’t help them.” Cassidy Temese said there were multiple levels to the issue of low voter-turnout throughout Aotearoa, and technology would not solve those alone. “We need to address the elephant in the room, which is civics education. Council needs to put pressure on Local Government NZ, to make civics education compulsory within the NZ education curriculum. “Online voting has not been successfully implemented throughout Aotearoa, is expensive to trial and presents data security issues. Kitchener pointed to impediments - technical issues, potentially defective vote-counting systems and transparency issues. “I believe that there are fewer people voting because an increasing number of important decisions are being taken away from local Councils and more people are feeling disenfranchised,” he said. Lou Brown echoed that concern,

saying “the real problem” was that most voters perceived councils as having little control over large local issues He accepted the proposal of online voting had some merit if all voters participated – “however not all voters are able to access or operate a computer”. “The lack of success of the last National Census is certainly a case to be considered when proposing online voting.” Te Awamutu ward councillor Liz Stolwyk would support online voting, though warned it would have to be secure. “In an age where future generations prefer online methods we would see a much higher engagement with this demographic. “There needs to be a better system of engaging people and getting people to vote,” Te Awamutu ward councillor Marcus Gower said. “At the moment it seems that it is a majority of elder people who vote and young people are not making an effort. On text based and online voting he suggested “something different needs to happen”. Poto Davies, who missed in the Cambridge Ward election, said there was a case to use both online and postal voting to “capture that wider net of non-voters”. Three successful Cambridge Community Board candidates, Elise Badger, Jo Davies-Colley and

Elise Badger

Alana Mackay also saw a need for change “Improving voter turnout should be a priority for local government. Online voting, while an initial cost, may be an important investment in reducing the trend of declining voter turnout,” Elise Badger said. Jo Davies-Colley believed the online option should be investigated and would likely result in more young peple voting. But “it shouldn’t be the only way people can vote” and “unless it can be demonstrated as completely safe and secure as well as accessible for all, it cannot be considered an option.” Alana MacKay also backed online- but said postal voting would still need to be an option.

Leadership award New council manager named for worthy student A Karapiro School student has been recognized for her leadership ability receiving the BLAKE Young Leader Award for 2019. Chelsea Lea was described by school principal Tina-Maree Thatcher as a worthy recipient due to her ability to uphold all the virtues associated with being a great leader. “Chelsea is patient, kind, generous and cares for others. She has the courage to use her voice and to stand up and be counted, along with the resilience to back herself when she needs to make a decision,” said Thatcher. “We are so very proud of Chelsea and are delighted to be able to acknowledge her leadership skills as a citizen of Karapiro School.” Sponsored by Westpac NZ since 2011, the annual BLAKE Young Leader Awards acknowledge Year 5 – 8 students from 500 New Zealand schools who demonstrate outstanding leadership qualities within their school communities.

Waipa District Council has appointed chartered engineer Dawn Inglis as a new group manager in charge of water services, major capital works, asset management planning and transportation. Inglis has worked at Waipā for nine years, originally as road corridor manager and more recently as the manager of RATA (Regional Asset Technical Accord). In her role with RATA, Inglis was responsible for growing, developing and driving a successful new roading business model throughout the Waikato region. RATA has since been expanded to consider challenges with water services. She previously held engineering positions at Hamilton City, Auckland City and the former Franklin District Council. She has led national initiatives, including initiatives on behalf of central

government. Inglis will replace current group manager – service delivery Barry Bergin who will become Council’s principal engineer, focusing only on project engineering and contract management. Bergin will be responsible for scrutinising contract allocation and contract management, and monitoring contracts through their lifecycles. He will also mentor existing Waipā staff to help grow contract management skills and reduce the Council’s reliance on external consultants. Waipā chief executive Garry Dyet said Inglis and Bergin had been appointed to “critical roles” given the massive amount of growth-related infrastructure work planned for the district. In the coming financial year, Inglis would oversee a $160 million budget, including a $126 million capital works programme headed by project delivery manager, Lorraine Kendrick.

The trio already worked closely together and would form a powerful team, Dyet said. “There was huge interest in Dawn’s new role and shortlisted candidates were of a high calibre, each bringing a wealth of knowledge, skills and experience. This is a massive job and Dawn has proven she is more than up to it. I’m thrilled to have her move into this role as part of my senior executive team and I’m just as pleased Bar-

Blind Week collection By Savannah Patterson

More than 1500 volunteers around the country are gearing up to support the Blind Week street collection today and tomorrow by walking the streets with donation buckets. About 25-30 volunteers will be in Cambridge and 12 volunteers around Te Awamutu, Kihikihi and Pirongia. Cambridge Blind and Visually Impaired Support Group committee member June Nesbitt says collectors will be placed in Cambridge outside Mitre 10, Fresh Choice, Jim’s Sports Shoes, Paper Plus and The Warehouse. Nesbitt has suffered from blindness since 2009 and says the funds raised from collections like this help people gain the tools they need such as technology, white canes and talking books. “As much as we can raise the more services that we will be able to offer to people. “Those of us who are blind just want to have all the opportunities other people have and that’s what the foundation gives us.” Of the $21,000 that was raised in Waikato last year, $3000 was raised in Te Awamutu and $2000 was raised in Cambridge. Today at least three more New Zealanders will be told they’re losing their sight.

Crash course in speed limits

More than 200 speed limited across Waipā will change on November 4 – so the district council advertised the fact using smashed cars. The council placed the cars in Te Awamutu and Cambridge as part of a campaign to draw attention to the changes and encourage drivers to slow down. Council has received enquiries from residents wanting to know about the cars and the fact there had been discussion on social media and wider media interest delighted Transportation manager Bryan Hudson. “We considered different ways to grab people’s attention before deciding that physically putting crashed cars in front

of them would really bring home the message that reducing speed is important.” Aside from speed limits changes on November 4 plans are also in place for new pedestrian crossings, additional cycle lanes and better intersections. Hudson said while the shock tactic may have been confronting, it had proven a great way to start a conversation within the community. The stunt had the support of police who too often “picked up the pieces after crashes”, he said. “Being involved in a speed-related crash would be much worse so if we can encourage people to think about their driving and slow down, that’s a good thing in my view.”

Council had also created a road safety video with Olympic rower Eric Murray, and had launched a purpose-built website – www.roadsafetywaipa.co.nz - as part of the campaign.

Dobbyn chimes in

Kiwi music leged Dave Dobbyn is doing his bit for Waipā. Kihikihi has lauched a series of Sunday concerts to attract Waipā residents and Dobbyn has signed a ukulele to be auctioned at the next event in November. About 70 people attended the second Lazy Sunday concert at the Kihikihi Spring Ukulele Festival earlier this month and were entertained by The Thermaleles, a quintet from Rotorua. A ukulele auction raised $385 for the Kihikihi School Kia Tau garden murals, bringing the total raised to more than $1000. Waipā artists Nikita Tilson and Tony Kingstone

have created murals and festival co-ordinator Sara Grayson paid tribute to the support of the community for providing auction items. The most popular item was a ukulele decorated by artist Kathy Watson who created a round canvas then applied parts of the design to the ukulele. Pauline and Louise Chidlow, members of Cambridge Ukes, donated crafted ukuele cushions. The Waikato-based Big Muffin Serious Band will entertain Kihikihi at the next Lazy Sunday concert on November 3 at the Kihikihi Anglican Church Hall.

Molen. Up for discussion at the meeting will be the idea to introduce speed at reduction signs at busy intersections along the dangerous stretch of road.

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. 55 Victoria Street, Cambridge (between BNZ & LJ Hooker)

New equipment for trikers

The Avantidrome Community Trikes programme has implemented new infield equipment at the indoor velodrome, thanks to help from the Legacy Trust and MW Design. MW Design took the project from an early brief through to a prototype and ultimately the final product, thanks to funding from the Legacy Trust through Cambridge Funeral Homes. The new equipment will challenge riders and add variety to the trike circuit, said outgoing community trikes coordinator Aaron Ure. “This was all unknown territory with additional fabrication and design work required,” Ure explained. “Mike from MW Design recognised the project pushing the boundaries of the budget and stepped in with a generous donation of labour and materials to deliver a brilliant resource for the trike riders. “The team at the Avantidrome and the many trike riders that will benefit from the new infield layout would like to extend a resounding thanks to Legacy trust and MW Design for the support they have provided in creating a multi-use modular unit for riders that will add skill and enjoyment to their weekly sessions.” The Avantidrome Community Trikes programme caters to all ages and abilities, helping anyone living with limited mobility or undergoing rehabilitation following illness or injury. Casual fees are $7.50 per session or cheaper if attending several sessions. www.avantidrome.co.nz.

Women’s eight crowned world champions By Sophie Iremonger

The New Zealand women’s eight has returned to Cambridge as the country’s first women’s eight crew to earn gold at the World Rowing Champs. They’re now back training at Lake Karapiro, spending the coming season preparing for selection to the New Zealand Olympic Rowing team so that they can race the boat they qualified for Tokyo during the world championships in Austria. “It was definitely tough because it was an Olympic qualification regatta, which means only five boats qualify, that was probably the most special thing for us,” said Lucy Spoors. “We definitely had a sense of confidence, after our earlier regattas in the year – getting at win at World Cup number three in Rotterdam, so we knew what we could achieve and had confidence under pressure.” “We got to tick off that goal of being the first women’s eight from New Zealand to win, so that was quite special,” said Kelsey Bevan. “We’ve been slowly trying to tick things off, we qualified in 2015, got second, and then this year we won the world champs. That was really special because New Zealand has struggled with women’s eights. So, we’ve been slowly trying to develop an eight that can be top of the world, and it’s quite cool to finally have that.” The NZ women’s pair Kerri Gowler and Grace Prendergast, also on the women’s eight, had

two events to contest at the world champs – also winning the women’s pair final. “Having two events, they handled it really well,” said Spoors. The women’s eight won both their heat and their final at the competition, winning by a narrow margin over Australia. “We had a good start, but the Australians had started faster than us,” explained coxswain Caleb Shepherd. “They were just in front of us by about a canvas, and we sort of stayed in our boat, stayed on our rhythm through the middle, reached the thousand mark, and then brought it up to finish in the last 600 metres and managed to get past them.” Despite winning by 2.8 seconds, Shepherd said the win was “tight the whole way” but “finished really well”. “It’s pretty exciting,” said Shepherd. “It was really cool to think that people have tried before us, and come close a few times, but never quite done it, and for us to finally get there I think is really cool for the country.” The elite rowers said school age rowers also training on Karapiro were welcome to come up and talk to them about advice or any lingering questions they may have. “If you’re based in Cambridge just reach out, you can talk to us, we’re here to help,” said Kelsey. “There’s still room to get faster, and that’s pretty much what we’re doing, training with our wider team and just trying to get faster for the Olympics.”

Semi finals for Walker, Petch

New Zealand BMX riders Sarah Walker (Cambridge) and Rebecca Petch (Te Awamutu) made the semifinals at the Tokyo Olympic BMX test event held at the Ariake Urban Sports Venue in Japan. Last weekend’s event was moved forward by two days to avoid typhoon Hagibis. While Walker and Petch produced strong performances, junior world champion Jessie Smith (Gisborne) was injured in a crash in the final practice, and will recuperate

in Tokyo before flying home. Riders reported that the new track, used for the first time during the October 12 – 13 test event, was considerably longer and different in configuration to usual BMX circuits. Waipā riders Walker and Petch made it through from the tworound qualifying in the revamped format before both finished fourth in their groups in a three-heat quarterfinals series. Walker was fifth in her semifi-

nal, to miss out by one spot on the final, with Petch sixth in her semifinal. North Harbour’s Michael Bias, the only New Zealand male rider, was third in his qualifying motos and was on track to make it to the semifinals but finished fifth in his final quarterfinal heat to miss out by one spot. Frenchman Romain Mahieu took out the men’s final while Australian Saya Sakakibara won the women’s final.

Melbourne Cup, made in New Zealand

It inspired the biggest Australian sports film of the decade, but the story of Michelle Payne’s historic Melbourne Cup victory has its roots on this side of the Tasman. Ride Like a Girl, the big-screen retelling of Payne’s Cup triumph in 2015 aboard the Kiwi-bred Prince of Penzance, will be released in New Zealand cinemas next Thursday. Payne’s father Paddy, played by New Zealand actor Sam Neill in the film, was born and raised in South Taranaki and spent more than half of his life here. He had success as both a jockey and a trainer, and eight of his children were born in this country. “I grew up in Hawera and had a bit of success when I was over there,” he said from his base near Ballarat, in Victoria. “I rode a few horses and did alright – I actually won a steeplechase at Ellerslie with my very last ride. “I also trained a few horses here and there and didn’t do too badly

with those as well. We were just owner-trainers and had a few cheap horses and cast-offs, but we won a few decent races along the way. “My last two runners in New Zealand were Group wins at Ellerslie – a horse called Paddy Boy won the Gr.1 Sires’ Produce Stakes (1400m) and the Gr.3 Champagne Stakes (1200m).” The family moved to Victoria in the early 1980s, where the two youngest children, Michelle Payne and her brother Stevie, were born. “The reason we made the move was because the Hawera council needed our property for some settling pools,” Payne recalled. “Back then they had sewage flowing through concrete pipes, and it was decided that they were no longer allowed to have them just flow out into the ocean without being treated. “So they needed to build some settling pools, and they wanted to use our property for that. We came to an agreement with them,

decided to head over to Australia and it all worked out.” The Paynes had some extra money for the move after selling Paddy Boy for a reported $300,000 to Robert Sangster. The son of Blarney Kiss went on to win the Gr.1 AJC Derby (2400m), Gr.1 Sydney Cup (3200m) and Gr.3 Adelaide Guineas (1600m), along with placings in the Gr.1 Rosehill Guineas (2000m), Gr.1 George Main Stakes (1600m) and Gr.2 Theo Marks Stakes (1400m). “We initially made the move for two years, just to see how we go,” Payne said. “When that time was up, I suggested it might be a good time to go back, because the dollar was worth $1.70 and we could do quite well out of that with the money we had. “But my wife said, ‘No, I like it here – I think we should stay.’ So that’s what we did. It all worked out in the end. The whole family really liked Australia and are happy here, and we’ve done well.” But tragedy struck when youngest child Michelle was only six months old. Her mother Mary was killed in a car accident, leaving Paddy to raise the clan on his own, with the added challenge of

Stevie’s Down Syndrome. But raise them he did, and eight of the children went on to become jockeys. Patrick Payne was the first to make an impact in the saddle, riding multiple Group One winners at the beginning of this century including a Cox Plate (2040m) and Australian Cup (2000m) on the champion Northerly. However, an ongoing battle with weight forced him to transition into training in 2007. But Paddy Payne always knew his youngest child Michelle also had what it took to make her mark in the saddle. “She could always ride, and it was no surprise to me at all to see her succeed,” he said. “It was certainly a proud day when she won the Melbourne Cup. You could say she was a bit lucky to be on a horse who ran so well on the day, but she’d won four Group One races before that as well. She’s done a great job. “I’ve been very pleased to see the number of good female riders emerge in the last few years. We’ve got Jamie Kah now, and there’s Linda Meech as well, who also came over from New Zealand and

BRANDERSON HOMES LTD

has done marvellously.” The Payne family retains many links to New Zealand, with a number of close friendships enduring. Michelle Payne is now establishing her own place in the training ranks, with more than a dozen wins to her name along with placings at Group Two and Group Three level. Her brother Stevie, who shared the spotlight as strapper of Prince of Penzance and plays himself in the movie, works alongside her. Meanwhile, Paddy Payne is now in his eighties and still lives in Miners Rest in Victoria. He continues to dabble in training, having won races with Ronay and Miner’s Miss over the last 12 months. The latter also finished third in last year’s Gr.1 VRC Oaks (2500m) at Flemington. “They’re the only two horses I’m training, but they’re both winners and they’ve earned a lot more money than I paid for them,” he said. “Miner’s Miss cost me $10,000, and she ran third in the Oaks last November. She got $90,000 in prize-money for that race alone, so she’s more than paid me back.”

Otorohanga’s men of the cloth John and Karam Haddad’s family business Haddad Menswear in Otorohanga is more than a store. And in Otorohanga, the Haddad’s are more than retailers who are seeing a fifth generation of customers and declare themselves to be “world famous in Otorohanga since 1965”. When the brothers’ Maniapoto St shop opened – the Haddad name was already firmly etched into Otorohanga history. In 1942 their father Michael bought the shop which housed a billiard saloon next to his milk bar that would become the menswear store. Michael had arrived in New Zealand in 1926 from Lebanon. He found work at the Feilding Freezing Works but settled in Otorohanga. And the Haddad’s, like many families who opted for life away from the main centres, say it was a great decision. “We consider ourselves extremely fortunate that our father chose Otorohanga as his adopted home on his arrival in New Zealand,” Karam said.

When he built the milk bar in 1935 it was just the second to open in New Zealand and “we all worked there for a number of years.” In 1965 Karam took over the menswear store which he had established. He had previously worked in

menswear factory with his uncle in Australia. John continued to work in the milk bar and the town’s post office before he joined Karam in the menswear store. They have seen many changes over the years – notably switching from cash to cards – but have stuck with traditional customer service rather than going online. “We’ve only ever had good customers and are lucky to be located here as we get a lot of people travelling through and stopping in on their way to their destinations.” The shop has seen its share of wellknown faces – among them the late Colin Meads from down the road in Waitete and All Black turned TV presenter Marc Ellis. Mumford and Sons lead singer Marcus Mumford and his wife, actress Carey Mulligan, have also called in. “We’ve been on TV and featured in many publications as well,” says John. “But most of all what we love about our work is to see the customer walk out with a smile on their face.” Karam says you’re only as good as the last customer you served. “If you looked after them properly the customer will go off and tell their friends all about you and your shop,” says John.

John (left) and Karam Haddad say it has been a tremendously rewarding and enjoyable experience for their family to have been in business in Otorohanga for over 70 years.

Boyds Asparagus scoop annual award Earlier this month when Countdown announced its annual supplier awards, one small local company proudly took the podium to receive the Produce Supplier of the Year award. Boyds Asparagus general manager, Tony Rickman, said the award came out of the blue. While the Hautapubased company had been a finalist eight years ago, being named the 2019 winner was an outstanding achievement. Countdown’s national awards recognise the best in the industry and Boyds was assessed against a nationwide pool of fruit and vegetable suppliers. The business began in 1980 when Kay and Alex Boyd began growing, packing and marketing asparagus. It evolved into Boyds Asparagus Industries Ltd in 1997 and over the years the brand has become synonymous with fresh asparagus. Rickman attributed the recent success to the company’s high standard of quality and its ability to fill orders on a daily basis. “We consider ourselves a small company. Apart from three fulltimers, all our labour is casual.”

Rickman has been with Boyds since leaving university in the late 1990s. Fond of working outdoors, he reckoned the asparagus industry was a good lifestyle choice. He started as pack-house manager before moving into a general management role. He has an excellent understanding of ecosystems, environmental stewardship and agricultural sustainability. An advocate for reducing our environmental footprint, Rickman believes we should eat locally-grown seasonal produce and not shy away from paying higher costs. Boyds has 180ha of planted asparagus all within a 30-minute radius of its Hautapu operation. Given that New Zealand’s asparagus industry covers between 500-550ha, the company has a significant slice of the market. “We’re a service provider and the largest packer in the country,” said Rickman. Asparagus season runs from September until Christmas. Picking is usually on a daily basis, but given this year’s wet and cooler weather, Boyds has scaled it back to every

2-3 days. A large labour force of 200 pickers is required to harvest 10-15 ton of asparagus per day. At its peak, the pack-house requires up to 130 workers. Finding casual labour is challenging. “It’s hard for horticultural businesses to find workers and also to meet rising labour rates. The minimum wage has increased significantly in the last 20 years but there’s been little change in grower-to-supermarket prices.” Another issue facing the company is the cap the Waikato Regional Council Healthy Rivers plan change has placed on the amount of hectares that can be used for growing. “Asparagus are not like other vegetables that require huge nutrients. They are not a gross feeder. We would like to see our classification changed to be more like pit or kiwifruit.” This year Boyds’ markets will be domestic only as the current economic market does not make international exports viable. And there is no resting on the laurels of the recent award, with Ash Boyd, pack-house manager Boyds Asparagus picking, pack-house and despatch in Industries with Countdown 2019 Produce Supplier of operation seven days a week. the Year award

Field day to help farmers manage soil loss Soil is among our most precious resources. It comprises countless species that create a dynamic and complex ecosystem and anchors all life on Earth. The health of soil is a primary concern to farmers whose livelihoods depend on well-managed agriculture that starts with the dirt beneath our feet. While there are many challenges to maintaining healthy soil, there are also solutions. Waikato Regional Council, with support from

Beef + Lamb NZ, the Ministry for Primary Industries, Plant and Food Research, and the New Zealand Poplar and Willow Research Trust, has organised a field day on Thursday October 24 to help farmers manage soil loss. Topics include soil erosion and water quality, poplar and willow pole planting for soil stabilisation, and funding options for addressing hill country erosion. Information and advice as well as ideas on pole planting

and mitigating the loss of sediment will be presented. There will also be information on contaminants and an update on Healthy Rivers/Wai Ora: Proposed Plan Change 1. The field day at Karapiro’s Sir Don Rowlands Centre will conclude with a visit to Bill Garland’s Rotoorangi dry stock farm. “The visit is an opportunity to view and discuss the performance of various clones of poplar and willows, redesigning the tracks, and farm

level sediment loss mitigation practices,” says Waikato Regional Council sustainable agriculture advisor, Bala Tikkisetty. Managing soil and water well can result in economic and environmental gains. Waikato Regional Council encourages farmers, rural professionals and landowners to attend the day. “There’s plenty farmers can do to protect soil from various types of erosion,” Tikkisetty says.

Ohaupo’s living legend Indoor polo a first Not many people spend a day hand-washing 63 white birch trees, but Barry Cox is one of a kind. He’s always had a love for trees and he doesn’t know why. Apart from his grandparents having had big gardens, there is no arboreal strain in the family’s DNA. “I was always planting trees on the farm,” says the former dairy farmer who envisioned growing a tree church in 2006. The 63 white birch trees form part of the entrance to a magnificent living breathing church structure in Barry’s 1.2ha private garden in Ohaupo. The church and gardens are due to re-open on Sunday October 27. Each winter is dedicated to maintenance and the work is a definite labour of love. “The gardens are full on maintenance,” says Barry who has just returned from Essex, England having been invited there to advise and help plan a similar structure on a private property. “It will be the marque II version.” Barry says his gardens and tree church are more well-known overseas than they are in New Zealand. The internet has had a big impact on growing their fame. A large number of weddings hosted in the gardens are for bridal parties from China, the USA, Australia and England. The grounds and unique tree church are a beautiful expression of Barry’s passion for both churches and trees. Initially created as a private garden and a very personal project, he was

persuaded to open his property to the public in 2015.While the church was thought to be a first in the world, it is proving a source of inspiration for others to emulate. Alnus Imperialis, commonly known as the Cut Leaf Alder, form the church’s roof canopy and Leptospernum, or Copper Sheen, are the walls. Camelia Black Tie, Acer Globosum and Thuja Pyramidalis complete the composition. Oaks, maples, alders, ginkgos, beech, poplars, taxodium and nyssa, as well as a labyrinth walk, also grace the peaceful gardens.

Equidays off to a flying start Kicked off with style, Equidays is now in full swing at Mystery Creek. Carl Hester, one of the world’s top dressage experts, got the three-day event off to a great start by sharing his extensive knowledge during yesterday’s dressage masterclass. An education-oriented event representing a diverse variety of equestrian disciplines, Equidays attracts visitors passionate about horses. They come to compete, shop, be educated and entertained. This year seven of the world’s best equine educators and eight of the country’s best clinicians are sharing their knowledge across dressage,

horsemanship, showjumping, liberty, working equitation, physiotherapy, foal education and positive reinforcement training. Eleven seminars presented over the course of the event will address topics ranging from nutrition, hoof care, balance and stability, sports psychology, saddle fitting, to equine biomechanics and homeopathy. The competitions will showcase the high-level of talent within New Zealand’s equine industry through disciplines including showjumping, derby, cross country, dressage, reining and showing. Retired racing thoroughbreds will

demonstrate their versatility in the Beyond the Barriers competition and wild horses are on display in the Kaimanawa Heritage Horses competitions. The Mounted Games competitions give teams an opportunity to show off their fast-paced skills. Friday and Saturday evenings will see the arena packed for the night shows. Tonight’s showjumping spectacular starts with the Jump for Cancer slalom. Performances from some of New Zealand and Australia’s best equine entertainers are on Saturday night’s programme.

for the country Six of the country’s top polo players are billed for the closing act of Equidays’ Equitainment Extravaganza Nightshow. The head-tohead battle, being played indoors in a condensed format, is a first for New Zealand. Players will entertain the crowds with their skill, precision and talent. The game is being played with three players aside, compared to four aside when played outdoors. The limited space of playing indoors will make the game more of a physical one

with short sharp bursts to get to the opponent and lots of contact between players, says Equidays event manager, Aimee Hardie. Players include Australasian’s best, John Paul Clarkin, as well Simon Keyte, Will Hunt, Dean Fullerton and Sam Kirkpatric from the Mystery Creek Club, and Henry Jones of Hololio. “The polo season traditionally kicks off in December, so it’s taken some work to get the horses ready and riders confirmed,” says Hardie.

Sour is super

Fermented foods are increasing in popularity and availability — all in the name of good health. They can aid digestion and help with other health issues. Historically foods were fermented as a way of preserving them. Microorganisms convert starches and sugar into alcohol or acids and these enhance the natural, beneficial probiotic bacteria in food. Kimchi — a Korean staple — is a traditional side dish made from salted and fermented vegetables including cabbage. Spicier than German sauerkraut, kimchi contains vitamins A, B1, B2 and C and the minerals iron, calcium and selenium. In yoghurt, bactobacilli bacteria convert the lactose in milk into glucose and galactose These break down further into lactic acid which gives natural yoghurt its sour taste. Live bacteria assist the gut. Kefir — rather like a thin yoghurt — is a probiotic cultured drink, containing strains of bacteria and yeast. Kefir is rich in minerals and vitamins, particularly the B vitamins and vitamin K. Kombucha is a fizzy, fermented black tea. Yeast turns sugar into alcohol and carbon dioxide, and bacteria convert the alcohol into acetic acid, giving it the sour taste. It’s delicious chilled in summer and makes great mocktails.

KIMCHI Add julienned carrot if preferred or combine a mix of red and green cabbage. 1/2 large Savoy cabbage 4 tablespoons salt 1 tablespoon sugar 4 cloves garlic, crushed 2 tablespoons each: finely grated root ginger, fish sauce, gochujang (Korean chilli paste) 4 each: spring onions, round radishes, thinly sliced Remove any thick core from the cabbage. Chop the leaves into 3cm pieces and place in a large ceramic bowl. Sprinkle with the salt

Quick crossword 1

and mix it in with your hands. Stand for 1 hour or until softened. Press down and cover with cold water. Stand for 2 hours. Drain and rinse under cold water. Drain thoroughly squeezing out any excess water. Make a paste by mixing the sugar, garlic, ginger, fish sauce and gochujang. Combine with the cabbage, spring onions and radishes, mixing well. Place in a large plastic or ceramic bowl. Sit a plate on top of it and cover loosely so air can escape during fermentation. Allow to ferment for a week or two in a coolish place. Pack into airtight glass containers and store in the fridge. Serve with cheese on crackers, as a salad or side dish, add to rice dishes or pat dry and deep-fry briefly. Makes about 2 1/2 cups.

SALMON BURGERS & DILL YOGHURT SAUCE Dill Yoghurt Sauce: 1/2 cup plain yoghurt 2 tablespoons each: mayo, chopped dill, chopped spring onion 1 tablespoon lemon juice Burgers: 250g packet fresh cuts salmon stir-fry 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 teaspoon finely grated root ginger freshly ground black pepper to taste 3 burger buns, lightly toasted

Salmon burgers and dill yoghurt sauce

small crisp lettuce leaves thinly sliced cucumber Combine the sauce ingredients and set aside. Cut any large pieces of salmon in half. Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan. Stir-fry the salmon on medium heat adding the ginger and black pepper for 1-2 minutes until just cooked. Cove the burger bun bases with lettuce and cucumber then top with the salmon and yoghurt sauce. Serves 3.

KOMBUCHA MOCKTAILS 2 tablespoons lemon juice 2-3 tablespoons sugar Mocktail: 2-4 ice cubes 4 tablespoons orange juice 2 lime or lemon slices, halved 2-4 strawberries, quartered 4 mint leaves 1-2 cups lemon-flavoured kombucha, chilled Dip the rims of 2 glasses into the lemon juice then into the sugar. Chill. Place the ice cubes in the glasses. Add the orange juice, lime slices, strawberries and mint leaves. Top with the kombucha. Enjoy. Makes 2.

St Peter’s secures two national titles

St Peter’s School students secured two national titles over the school holidays, the premier girls netball team winning the NZ Secondary Schools Netball Champs, and the girls basketball team winning the Secondary Schools National Basketball Championships for the fourth time in five years. The basketballers won with a 78-66 victory against Hamilton Girls’ High School in the final in Palmerston North. It comes after the team travelled to Greece in April to finish fifth in the world ISF World Champs – losing only one game to Greece in the final quarter. From then on, the team has been unbeaten, playing a visiting Japanese Under-16 National team, winning the Waikato Secondary Schools Competition, Zone 2 Regional Tournament and now the national title. Coach Leanne Walker’s daughter and team captain Charlisse, who has played in the team for the past five years, and was

named Most Valuable Player at the tournament. The netball team, captained by Kataraina Ormsby, secured the NZ secondary schools netball title last week in what was their first attempt at the tournament, after toppling tournament favourites Saint Kentigern College 35-31 in the final at Saxton Stadium in Nelson. Ormsby said it was an “indescribable” feeling to have won the national schools crown. “We were just happy to come here and show the rest of New Zealand what we could do,” she said. “Making history for our school… I’m speechless and just so proud of the girls.” The scores were locked at 26-26 with just under eight minutes to play but it was the calm heads of St Peter’s and patience with ball in hand that saw the underdogs pull away to lead by three with the clock counting down.

The St Peter’s premier girls basketball team, from left, Alana Paewai, Charlisse Leger-Walker, Waiata Jennings, Grace McGirr, Ella Bradley, Jayze Waihi, Toha Kemp, Ahi Williams, Dominque Stephens, Lyric Vaetoe, Emma Baker, Kaylah Waihi and Leanne Walker (Coach).

WaiBOP beaten again

St Peter’s netball champions, from left, standing: Dale Burden (Principal), Te Aroha Keenan (co-coach), Sade Kaipara-Morrison, Atlanta Bruce, Charlisse Leger-Walker, Sophie Waddell, Jorja Metcalfe, Lucy Sidwell, Annalies Kalma and Jenny O’Leary (manager). Kneeling: Waiata Jennings, Katie Te Ao, Kataraina Ormsby, Alana Paewai, Ella Bradley and Ange Russek (co-coach).

The region’s Women’s National League football side has a bye this weekend on the back of a 2-0 loss to the Northern Lights last weekend. It was the fourth loss in five outings for WaiBOP, who play their home games in Cambridge, but Nico Girard’s young side continues to impress against the odds. Northern had to break down a determined effort from the ever-improving WaiBOP at Allen Hill Sta-

dium on Auckland’s North Shore but a goal in each half from Ava Pritchard ensured the hosts would continue to stay two points behind leaders Canterbury United Pride. “I thought we held the ball quite well and were able to get into good goal-scoring positions but the final ball or the decisions in the final third let us down today,” Northern coach Shane Verma said. Girard pointed to a second

half improvement. “…we talked about some things we’d worked on at training and did a better job of executing them in that second half,” he said. “But, again, moving forward we have to work on our attacking transitions.” WaiBOP’s next encounter is a home and away clash with Capital – starting at home in Cambridge on October 26, then in Petone on October 28.

Buscomb achieves 2020 Olympic vision By Sophie Iremonger

Cambridge runner Camille Buscomb has qualified for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games and set two new personal best running times in the process. “I am so happy to finally put together some really good races when it really mattered,” Buscomb said hot off the back of beating her 10km and 5km personal best times at the world track and field championships in Doha. It put her at number two as the all-time best female runner in New Zealand, for both the 5k and 10k runs, behind Kimberly Smith. “I was so proud of my execution and toughness throughout each race. I performed the best I have in the biggest event to date,” said Buscomb, who beat her 10k run by 20 seconds and her 5k run by 21 seconds. The 29-year-old runner finished 12th overall in both races. She said getting to the Olympics was always the ultimate goal. “It has been a dream of mine since I was six years old to compete at the Olympic Games,” she said. “I have not yet done it yet – I narrowly missed out on the Rio Olympic Games in 2016 and that drove a change in training, training group, coach and level of commitment to the sport.” “The time standard has really gone up since Rio, and I actually ran over a minute faster than I did in 2016, and 30 seconds faster over the 5k since 2016. If I hadn’t made the big changes I wouldn’t have improved as much as I have, so I would be way off that Rio qualifier. Fortunately, I had the courage to do this and when they released the new standards, I felt that I had done the work to achieve them.” Over the last few years the former Cambridge High and St Peter’s student has spent most of the year based at training camps or overseas, where she could reach the level required for world-best times, she said. “I am really loving where I am at, and the journey I am on,” she said. “The last few years have been incredible for me.” She was a 5000m silver medallist at the World University Games in 2015 and finished 12th in the 5000m and 14th in the 10,000m at the 2018 Commonwealth Games.
