Our golden Valentines On Valentine's Day Jeremy Smith finds two Cambridge couples celebrating a 50th wedding anniversary

Two couples, two wedding locations, one anniversary and a joint celebration.

They may not have known of the coincidence at the time but as it turns out, today - Valentine’s Day - love is truly in the air for two Cambridge couples - Chris and Lynnette Adkins and Denis (Clarkie) and Coralie Clark.

Both couples are celebrating their 50th – Golden – wedding anniversaries.

They were respectively wed on February 14, 1970 - the Adkins in Feilding, the Clarks in Auckland.

Now, half a century and a strong friendship later, a joint lunch was held at Bridges Church on Sunday afternoon to mark the occasion for the two couples.

They’ve now been friends for about six years since both living in Cambridge.

“It’s a

celebration,” Clarkie said, speaking to Cambridge News. “A day filled with lunch, laughter, friendship and family”.

Also making this week extra special for the Clarks is the fact that the next day - Monday - was Coralie’s birthday.

Both couples remember clearly where it all began in their respective relationships.

Clarkie and Coralie met at a camp in Rotorua when he was 21 and she was 18.

Chris and Lynnette were 20 and 19 respectively when they first met.

“Well in my case”, Clarkie recalls, “Coralie caught my attention and I chased her until she caught me,” he smiled.

For the Adkins, Chris said there was a lot about Lynnette which attracted him to her.

“It made me think, ‘I’d better get to know her better,’ and so, clearly I did.”

Chris also remembers fondly when he proposed.

“I parked the car up and a song

by The Doors was playing on the radio called ‘Light My Fire’.

“And she’s never extinguished it.”

Life has taken the two couples down very different roads.

More than roads Louise Upston assures readers that the National Party will deliver on infrastructure if elected in 2020 (letters, February 7). The Taupo electorate needs safe roads, but not just a focus on more roads. The Coalition government has increased funding for Kiwi Rail and brought it under the same umbrella of transport funding as roads, ensuring we can now look forward to local train services. It is providing incentives for electric cars: both important initiatives in the face of unprecedented climate changes.

Infrastructure includes hospitals and schools, which the Coalition government is spending billions on so these buildings will be fit for purpose to provide services for our communities. Our health and education services need people to run them, and the Coalition has acknowledged this by raising the salaries of health professionals including nurses, and educational professionals like principals, and teachers. Surely, as important as roads, but sadly neglected by the previous government.

If Louise could lift her vision above roads, she might better serve the children, grandchildren and great grandchildren of all of the Taupo electorate.

Looking for a best view A new competition as part of the Cambridge Autumn Festival is encouraging residents to be tourists in their own region and snap shots of the most photo-worthy thing or place in Cambridge and surrounds.

What puts Cambridge on the map as a place to visit? What would you consider a must see or a seriously good selfie spot? It could be a building, park, statue, geological feature, or anything that you consider a photo-worthy attraction, natural or man-made, in town or rural.

The People in Mind sponsored competition is open to Waipā residents and the winning entry will earn $250.

Hello everyone While I hope your week is going well, I know that for some in our community, the week may not have been a calm one.

Conflict is unfortunately something that is present in most of our lives at some time or other and can be a big source of stress.

Often, I am called upon to assist with conflict situations that fall under the category of “Neighbours at War”. In any situation where people live in close proximity, there is potential for friction to occur. In my past community roles, I have dealt with neighbours who argued over things ranging from children shaking a neighbour’s apple tree, youth taunting a neighbour’s dog, arguments over trimming of trees on boundaries through to mattresses and rubbish being dumped over a fence onto a neighbour’s property and verbal abuse being aimed at a neighbour.

Often a breakdown in communication is a big part of the problem. Differences in personality, background, expectations and perceptions can sometimes make resolution tricky. I find that one good option is to organise a mediation session

with a neutral party, to enable both sides to calmly communicate their frustrations/ point of view. This helps remove any misunderstanding and often enables parties to agree to a mutually acceptable outcome.

In cases where behaviour is one sided, targeted and persistent, it may meet the definition of Criminal Harassment. Under the Harassment Act 1997, a person harasses another person if he or she engages in a pattern of behaviour that is directed against that other person, being a pattern of behaviour that includes doing any specified act to the other person on at least two separate occasions within a period of 12 months. The definition of a specified act is lengthy, but in summary includes behaviours most of us would class as stalking (loitering near someone, following them, entering or interfering with their property or leaving objectional material around for them). They are acts that cause the harassed person (and would cause any reasonable person) to fear for his or her safety.

In such situations, you may wish to consider applying for a Restraining Order

which has also been reflected here in Cambridge, had been one of the key factors behind the decision to hold the inaugural gathering this year.

A Restraining Order makes it a crime for the person who has harassed you to contact you, watch you or your home/work, or do anything that would cause you to be fearful.

It’s also a crime if the person who has harassed you threatens to do any of those things or encourages someone else to do any of those things to you.

Cell tower opposition grows

By Sophie Iremonger

Nearly two dozen residents have taken their concerns over a cell tower proposal to the Cambridge Community Board.

Amina Tritar – whose home is closest to the proposed King StStafford St site – said the 2degrees project to erect service-coverage antenna units could have a crippling effect on their house values, and its effect on the health of nearby families was unknown.

“It’s safe to say we are all absolutely gutted that a big company is able to do this to us all,” she said.

“Several of the homeowners surrounding the proposed site have had our homes appraised and been informed by the real estate agent in writing that this tower will have a negative impact of 10 to 15 percent on our house value and will probably take five times longer to sell.”

The company has drawn up an illustration of what the tower would look like The Community Board told the group the company was legally entitled to install the cell tower technology wherever they want, provided it met height restrictions and controlled activity status, and the technology met the health guidelines set out by the Ministry of Health.

Tritar thought those guidelines were “extremely relaxed when compared to other countries”, and believed the nearby park area was a “no go” because, “from what I have gathered, this is their preferred spot for the tower as it is the cheapest option for them.

“So, it’s ok for us to lose all of the equity in our homes for the rich to get richer. Familiar storyline, huh!?”

Correspondence with 2degrees was ongoing but reasonably guarded, she said.

2degrees sent a letter to the 12 homes closest to the site in December, which was received by most in January, informing them that the company was making an application to Waipa District Council to install “small, state-ofthe-art antenna units” at the site, which will increase service coverage in the area using 4G technology.

“We’ll write to you again before

we start any work,” the letter read.

Tritar said they hadn’t yet received any word on the timeline of the project. A resource consent application was made at the end of January.

Tritar and her neighbour Elen Rogers, who attended the Community Board meeting last week, have also set up a petition which has generated 270 online signatures and two pages of signatures in hard copy form. The petition is at the Rogers’ home at 35 Stafford St. They have also set up meetings for later this month with Waipa District councillors and the electorate MP Louise Upston.

Another 2degrees cell phone tower is sited at the Lakewood development above Te Kō Utu Lake. The nearest existing cell phone tower is a Spark tower at Kings Garden and two more Spark towers and a Vodaphone tower are in Carter’s Flat.

Waiting for rain Some farmers are reducing to once a day milking and relying on hay stock as the bone-dry start to 2020 continues in Waipā.

There has been no significant rain this year.

Most farmers are coping with the dry spell using supplementary feed, says Federated Farmers Waikato, but a shortage on that resource could spell disaster for some farmers.

“The grass has just dried up and burnt off, it hasn’t even grown,” said Cambridge horse trainer Phillip Devcich. “This is really dry weather.

“I think it’s going to have a domino effect if people aren’t able to make hay. A lot of people haven’t been able to make hay. It’s just got too dry the last couple of months.”

With just a small horse farm on his hands, he felt sorry for the dairy farmers with 300 head of cattle.

“A friend of mine is milking once a day and they’re just feeding hay all the time.”

Now using horse feed, if he had to buy hay, he said, “there might not be any hay to buy”. “Because a lot of people will be ordering it in.”

“And a feed shortage could have an affect later on in winter too.

“So, you can see what happens when you have a big drought.”

The owner of 2016 Auckland Cup winner El Soldado has had a rainwater tank run dry on his Hautapu/Matangi area farm and bore water levels also down dramatically.

“I’ve had to hook up to the road, because the water level has gone

Cambridge horse trainer Phillip Devcich, with 2016 Auckland Cup winner El Soldado, has seen grass growth come to a halt, and worries it could mean a shortage in hay feed stocks.

down.”

A little wet weather over Waipa would help the grass start growing again, he said, “until you get another dry spell and it’s just going to burn off again.”

“We had a little bit of rain the other night. But this is real dry weather.

“If we don’t get any rain in March it’s just going to have a domino effect.”

Federated Farmers Waikato President Andrew McGiven said if the dry spell continues to the end of next month, people are really going to struggle. “But if it breaks early things hopefully should be alright.

It’s a bit of a waiting game at the moment.”

Long range weather forecasts have predicted pattern changes which could mean a wet end to the

month.

Federated Farmers has also warned farmers of the increased fire risk during the dry season, reminding land users to watch out for dry clumps of cowpat sticking to vehicle exhausts – which can dry out and heat up to the point of smouldering – and to avoid mowing, topping or similar activities wherever possible.

Recent rural fires in the Hawke’s Bay were believed to have been caused by the blades of a mower striking stone and causing a spark. Other risks to watch for are powerlines sagging in the heat, which can touch treetops underneath, especially in the wind.

Farmers are also being encouraged to carry a fire extinguisher on farm vehicles.

Council lifts alert level to 4

How the proposed tower, incorporating a new streetlight pole with a 2degrees microcell antenna on top, would look. The illustration was provided by 2degrees.

Waipā District Council moved its Water Alert status to Level 4 this week after residents responded to calls to conserve by using more.

The district was at Level 1 on January 20, and at Level 3 on January 31 after water use levels increased by an average of 20 litres a person during the 10 days after restrictions were put in place and temperatures rose.

Waipā’s targeted water use per person is 190 litres per day. Residents on average have been using double that.

At Water Alert Level 4 the use of outdoor water systems of any kind, commercial or residential, including handheld hoses and sprinklers, are forbidden.

Waipā District Council deputy chief executive, Ken Morris said it was important for all residents to be wary of their water usage as restrictions were expected to get tougher in the coming weeks.

“The last significant rainfall was over six weeks ago in December and with no rain on the horizon for Waipā, all residents need to be conscious of their water usage to ensure we can make it through the summer without

Heritage walk popular

Roger Gordon led a group through last week’s walk in Cambridge.

The first of four heritage events as part of Waipā Heritage Month has been a success.

New district councillor Roger Gordon, the former Cambridge i-Site chief executive, led a walking tour around Cambridge last Friday.

“We couldn’t have wished for a better morning,” he said. “A few more turned up than expected so it was quite a large group.

I believe they all found it interesting. And a few mentioned they didn’t know so many things about Cambridge.”

Most of the participants had moved to Cambridge in the last five years “We also had a number who had been in Cambridge most of their lives or who had

moved back to the area after time away.”

The heritage month will feature two workshops and a talk on the first decade of Cambridge. Roger Gordon will join Greg Gascoigne to present a talk at Cambridge Library on February 25 looking at Cambridge’s history from 1864 to 1874.

The completion of the Te Ara Wai Museum in Te Awamutu, and the upgrade project for the current Cambridge Museum, will see more information on Cambridge’s history, including the rich pre-European history, covered in detail.

Lakewood on the home stretch Sophie Iremonger heads to Lakewood to see what’s happening at the Cambridge site.

The commercial and retail site above Te Kō Utu Lake known as Lakewood will be completed by the end of next month.

Still under construction is Block E – a collection of 12 commercial and retail shops next to McDonalds. At the far end of the development, above the Te Kō Utu Lake domain carpark, is a site earmarked for 27 townhouses which will begin in October, after winter, developer and part-owner Blair Currie explained.

The Lakewood site is owned by Porter Foster JV Ltd, a New Zealand company with shares including Porter Group, Foster Construction, and Saltbreeze Ltd. The townhouse site had previously been under the same ownership, but was this year bought by Currie through his company Engas Developments Ltd along with JV partner Saltbreeze Ltd. “Over five years priorities change and I think different development partners were looking to go with different ideas and in different directions,” he said.

“Porters are really good with infrastructural type projects, and Fosters have got other things that they’re looking to do, and I wanted to finish off the town housing.

“Fosters are an amazing construction company, but they don’t really specialise in high-end residential construction, more in large commercial and large industrial projects like the APL sheds. … so, there’s a natural synergy there for them to probably say that’s not our thing.”

Construction of the townhouses will begin in October and will be completed over the next two years. Plans are now at a concept level with purchases available later this year.

Next to it is a new childcare centre, owned by a private developer, which is due to open midFebruary.

Currie confirmed the last of the construction rubbish by the townhouse site, from the

neighbouring site, was due to be removed soon.

Amidst a rumour that the townhouse site project had been canned, he said it was “definitely going ahead”.

“There’s just been a change in ownership.

And the previous scheme was a bit denser, and smaller town houses, so the new scheme is between 185 and 240 square metre large, high-end residential homes.”

He was excited to reach the Marchmilestone of completing the $50 million Lakewood project, having worked on it during an “interesting time in the market”.

“The biggest challenge has been the moving target of marketplace escalation, combined with tightening of bank funding, and the timescale it’s taken.

“There was, justifiably, a real uplift in construction costs as well… which it made the development a bit tougher to get across the line.

“It’s going to be a development that we’re all very proud to be involved in and complete.”

Focus is on speed change The Waikato Regional Transport Committee wants the process to change speed limits streamlined.

The committee in its postLocal Body election guise met for the first time last week.

“It was good, a big learning curve for the new people,” said Waipa representative Grahame Webber.

Concern over speed limits relates to time taken to make changes particularly outside schools and in new residential areas where 100kmph speed zones are still in place.

Grahame Webber.

Grahame Webber said with planned residential developments, the time taken to make changes was

too long.

The group also resolved to send submissions to the Transport Infrastructure Select Committee in Wellington on the Land Transport (Rail) Legislation Bill.

Each region contributes funding and the Waikato committee is seeking a Kiwi Rail representative to provide a better insight. With a projected average cost of $62 per rail ticket, they have suggested a government subsidy and are seeking more clarification.

The committee will meet again in early April.

Landmark for knitting group

By Viv Posselt

Members of the Cambridge Knitters and Natters group gathered earlier this month to mark the start of a year that celebrates the 20th anniversary of the founding of Operation Cover Up (OCU).

The 90 or so prolific knitters in the group meet regularly at various venues to knit up woollen blankets, jerseys, hats, mittens, scarves and more which eventually find their way to needy families in Eastern Europe through OCU’s link with the charity, Mission Without Borders.

Operation Cover Up was founded in 2000 by Taupo’s Liz Clarke, who wanted to do something to help once she discovered that her sponsored child’s orphanage in Moldova didn’t have warm blankets for the children’s beds. Liz and her friend Stella Halstead formed OCU to supply knitted blankets to Mission Without Borders.

Her early dream was to supply 67 blankets for one orphanage, but 20 years on and with the help of groups like Cambridge Knitters and Natters, OCU has sent around 142,000 blankets and hundreds of thousands

of other items to Eastern Europe.

Liz is thrilled at the milestone. “I think it is wonderful for Operation Cover-Up to have reached 20 years. Even though I am not a knitter, I love to encourage the work of others who do such a brilliant job, and with such love in their hearts, to help the less fortunate who live with such harsh winters in very difficult situations.”

Mission Without Borders director Andrew Wilks said both sides benefitted from the arrangement – the recipients who are struggling to survive – and the knitters who satisfy a need to help

the disadvantaged.

OCU has over 100 knitting co-ordinators and thousands of knitters around the country; it also fundraises to cover the cost of wool and shipping the goods overseas.

Their work is well supported by local groups and wool is often donated.

Helping steer Cambridge OCU is Eris Parker. She said the different groups in town generally get together only for the annual display of their wares prior to shipping them overseas, usually around August.

She said the Cambridge OCU would mark its own 20th anniversary next year.

BUSINESS SHOWCASE

Montessori centre for under-twos opens in Cambridge Cambridge Montessori Pre-School – providing quality education for two decades

OPEN DAY Everyone in the community is warmly invited to explore the Montessori environment and meet the team at an open day at 22a Taylor St on Saturday, February 22. The day begins with a ribbon cutting at Magnolia Montessori at 10.30am, but guests are welcome to drop in any time up until 2.30pm.

This month the local success story continues, with Helen Aston “very excited” to team up with experienced Montessori teacher Trish Thompson to launch a new centre for under-twos.

Cambridge Montessori Pre-School has been going strong in Cambridge for 20 years, offering a warm, friendly, calm and safe learning environment where children can thrive under the guidance of experienced, caring teachers.

The new facility, Magnolia Montessori, will be officially opened and blessed by Whaea Erena Bruce on February 22.

Cambridge Montessori director and her daughter, operations manger Sophie Aston, with pupils at the Taylor St pre-school.

Offering locations on both sides of the river, the first school opened on Raleigh St in 2000 and the second in 2005 in the Cambridge Health and Community Centre on Taylor St. Both sites cater for children aged 2-6.

DR MARIA MONTESSORI According to Montessori Aotearoa New Zealand, Dr Maria Montessori was “an educator, scientist, physician, philosopher, feminist and humanitarian”. Born in Italy in 1870, she was the first early childhood educator to be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. Her education methods are now used in more than 100 countries around the world. www.montessori.org.nz.

Helen Aston, director of Cambridge Montessori Pre-School said strong connections between the school, its families and the wider community had been a key factor in CMPS’s success over the past two decades.

“We’ve always worked hard to ensure families feel welcomed and supported on their educational journey,” she said.

MONTESSORI EDUCATION • Provides a homelike, peaceful, respectful, safe, caring environment (manaakitanga).

• Cultivates a love of learning.

• Inspires children to care for our world (kaitiakitanga).

• Embeds naturally within Aotearoa and our bicultural way of life.

More support for smoke ban Cafe customers in Waipā appear to be in concert with local body politicians in supporting the creation of smokefree public areas in the district.

Last week the News reported both commuity board leaders – Ange Holt (Te Awamutu) and Sue Milner (Cambridge) backed the call from Waipā mayor Jim Mylchreest – and so did an informal Facebook poll.

The News canvassed cafe users to get their views and found support for the idea, though no shortage of sympathy for smokers.

In Cambridge Stuart McLaren thought it was fair to ban smoking where people are eating “but if people want to stand on the corner and have a cigarette it doesn’t worry me.”

Andrew Dearle said he was not a smoker but felt smokers were “getting a bit persecuted... I think it’s a bit over the top to be honest.”

Smoker Riana Snyman had no objection to a ban “as long as there’s a place where I can go on my break and have a smoke that’s not too far away”.

“But it shouldn’t be allowed at schools or a park where there’s kids around.

“I don’t like it when someone next to me smokes when I take my kids somewhere. I smoke but I try to not smoke when people are around, I’ll go smoke somewhere else.”

Out on the street, Te Awamutu News bumped into Laura and Rachael Courtman.

The pair – both non-smokers - were all for a move to ban smoking in public places.

“I think if people want to smoke they can do it elsewhere, or in a designated smoking area,” Rachael said.

Laura agreed, adding that it was unpleasant, particularly when out in public with young children.

One of the Red Kitchen’s managers, Jenni Williams, told Te Awamutu News she was a smoker for nearly 12 years and she quit about

six years ago - having changed her tune on the practice.

“In my view there’s no need for it in the middle of town. I was always a considerate smoker and would smoke downwind from young families with children. But not everyone is like that.”

She thought there would also be environmental benefits from banning smoking.

Murray Peterson, who owns Te Awamutu’s Central Café alongside his wife Reanna, said declaring the district’s public areas smoke free was a positive.

“I’m not a smoker myself, and there are people who do sit outside the café smoking.

But, maybe smoking in public is a trend that might be changing anyway.”

Taupō district introduced smokefree bylaws at the end of January.

The move in Taupo and the proposal in Waipā is consistent with a Government target

of makng the country smokefree by 2025.

Taupō’s ban on smoking and vaping covers public places throughout the district, including the lakefront.

“We know smoking isn’t good for us and by introducing smoke and vape free areas we are aiming to use education and awareness to ‘denormalise’ the habit,” Taupo District Council Chief Executive Gareth Green said.

“For us here in Taupo, the aim is to also reduce cigarette butt litter – which is the most commonly littered item worldwide – and which are all too often ending up in our lake.”

“We hope that the action plan will be upheld by social expectations so that the next generation is less inclined to take up smoking or vaping."

He said research showed that even without enforcement, noticeable changes were seen with the introduction of smoke and vape free areas.

Donations for crash victim More than $7000 has been raised to help support a Cambridge woman seriously injured in a crash three weeks ago on State Highway 29.

Joanne Bridgman, 63, was taken to hospital after the two-car crash on January 26. She suffered 23 broken bones including her neck, vertebrae, front and back ribs, arms, wrist, legs and feet. Her dog Scamp died in the crash.

Another person was critically injured and died at the scene. Police have not named that person and investigations into the cause of the crash are ongoing.

A Givealittle fundraising page was set up to support Bridgman, a former international horse rider. By Wednesday morning it had generated $7,620 in eight days.

Bridgman’s family said she was doing well, all things considered, and had been moved from HDU to a ward.

But her ability to care for herself and her horses would be severely impacted during her recovery, and the upkeep of her horses and the costs associated with that was the main concern, the fundraising web page said.

“Being self-employed, her earning capacity in the coming months will be impacted while continuing to have on-going living expenses.”

Bridgman’s Cambridge business Quality NZ Horses specialises in selling New Zealand sport horses to international buyers.

The fundraising page can be found at givealittle.co.nz/cause/joannebridgmans-recovery.

Short film: it almost a wrap

What a moon

The skies lit up just a little more than normal on Sunday evening. Residents looking skyward will have been able to catch a glimpse of the first supermoon of the decade.

Work is wrapping up on a New Zealand short film which had a four-day shoot in Cambridge last week and it could be on screen in April.

The cast and crew of Worthy of Thee spent time on the Pollock Farm in Hautapu, and at a location in Arapuni, filming scenes for the 1940s short film.

The film follows the story of a doting mother and relentless father held in suspense over news about their son, a soldier serving in the New Zealand Army during World War II. “Waikato region has been a pleasure to film amidst, and there are many local figures we have to thank for the truckload of support we have received, from members of our cast, to local friends and family who have housed our crew,” producer Lance Loughlin said.

Filming wrapped up on Saturday and editing will begin later this month.

“From the producer’s point-of-view, as long as we’re able to hit ‘record,’ have our talent show up and be looked after, complete our shots and ensure our team are safe – that equals success to me.”

The film could be completed by midApril and there are plans for a premiere screening on Anzac Day, April 25.

A film cast and crew were in Hautapu last week filming scenes for the New Zealand WWII short film Worthy of Thee.

Board looks to a bright future

Sue Milner regularly contributes comment pieces as Cambridge Community Board chair. She reports on the first meeting of 2020.

First meeting report The Cambridge Community Board had a busy February meeting.

The big item for the Forum at the beginning of the meeting was the proposed 4G cell phone tower on the Stafford St/King St corner.

The Board received a couple of presentations, one on the Cambridge Historical Society’s proposed museum extensions which the Board is happy to support. The Board also supports a proposal from the Cambridge Town Hall Vision Group regarding the future of the Town Hall, an important landmark in our town.

There will be updates on both projects as they develop in the future.

Working groups now replace board committees, and a number of these working groups had members from the board and Cambridge community appointed to them.

Working groups are Anzac Day, Armistice Remembrance Day, Bihoro Sister City, Le Quesnoy Sister City, and Cambridge Reserve Landscape.

We received a letter from our sister City Le Quesnoy, France,

By Viv Posselt

informing us that they will be commemorating the 20th Anniversary of our Sister City Relationship on Anzac Day. This year Cambridge will be represented at Anzac Day in Le Quesnoy by a group of students from Cambridge High School. The commemorative concert in Le Quesnoy on Anzac Day will feature a film of the Armistice concert by the Cambridge Brass Band in the Cambridge Town Hall last year.

Over the next month the working groups will be meeting and developing their plans for the year.

The most immediate plan to be decided is for Anzac Day in April.

This year marks 75 years since the end of WWII, and we will be looking to remember those very significant events that ended the war, and the return of many of our service people to New Zealand as well as remembering those who sadly, did not return.

Last Sunday Waipā Deputy Mayor Liz Stolwyk and I were out and about at the Lions Trash and Treasure Market, we are hoping to do this each month it’s a good opportunity for us to hear your views.

Sue Milner has started her year as Cambridge Community Board (CCB) chairperson in a positive frame of mind.

She was voted into the chair last November after spending three terms as the Waipā District Council’s (WDC) representative on the Board.

The 2019 local body elections saw a surge of new blood come in, something Sue thinks can only benefit the Board – and Cambridge – in the long run.

“I’m particularly thrilled by the young people we now have on the Board,” she said last week. “Some of them are juggling young families.

They’re making a great deal of effort to be here; they’re the ones who will take the Board forward. I think it’s a very healthy situation for us to be in … it augurs well for the future.”

The Board starts 2020 with Sue at the helm and CCB members ready for their three-year tenure.

Waipā District Councillors Elwyn Andree-Wiltens (Maungatautari ward) and Grahame Webber (Cambridge ward) are the council representatives on the new-look Board, alongside CCB members Elise Badger, Jo Davies-Colley, Alana MacKay, Jim Goddin and Mike Montgomerie.

The Board’s first meeting was on February 5. As with the last meeting of 2019, it was well attended by members of the public anxious to put their views across.

“That’s one of our key roles,” said Sue. “The Board is here to

support the community and make recommendations to council where necessary. That is why it is important to have members of the public come to our meetings and pass on their views. We’re a conduit between the community and council, yet also able to do things where we can without having to go to council.”

Sue believes that the Board has done its job well since its formation in the late 1980s; she said there continued to be good engagement and support from within the community.

“This is a very good platform.

It works as it should … people are having their say more, and doing more, in the community, than in the past. Board members are increasingly proactive. There are always projects its members are tackling, and as the town grows, so

do those projects. As we get busier with events, we are more mindful of keeping things like the gardens and roundabouts neat and weed-free. I remember a time when I was out there one evening before an event, pulling weeds from a roundabout.

We are more on to things like that now.”

Sue is anticipating a busy three years. Around May or June, she will lead the annual CCB rural tour, where members visit groups around the district to get a feel for what is going on in other centres. Often, representatives from the regional council join the tours.

“Invariably, we find that some of what they are doing may be workable here, and vice versa. The Board has been doing those tours ever since I joined. They are often extremely useful.”

A celebration of recycling

A creative look at the topic of recycling will take centre stage next month at The Sculpture Park at Waitakaruru Arboretum in Tauwhare.

Celebrating the Art of Recycling will be held at The Sculpture Park over the weekend of March 14-15.

It will feature the work of three of

New Zealand’s foremost artists, all known for their sculpting of recycled material – Nathan Hull, Marti Wong and Adrian Worsley.

Metal sculpture artist and an engineering fitter-welder by trade, Nathan Hull, has been working his craft for years, transforming a host of discarded workshop

items into masterpieces that include motorbikes, dragons, a taniwha, a griffin and more. His creations have won awards and are in demand both nationally and internationally.

Marti Wong is a full-time, selftaught artist specialising in metal sculpture, primarily using recycled materials. He spent years observing nature, studying books and comics then turning scrap metal into objects reflecting his unique view on the world. His pieces, which are strongly influenced by mythology and science fiction, range from small insects to life-size dinosaurs and adorn workplaces and public spaces.

Te Aroha’s Adrian Worsley designs and makes original sculptures entirely from recycled materials. A former fitter/welder, he has perfected his craft over many years, blending materials such as copper, steel and wood as he transforms inanimate objects tactile pieces of art that are much in demand. He is the creator of the transformer-style giant bull commissioned by an applegrowing and packing company in Napier.

The Sculpture Park is a 17.5-hectare ‘art-in-nature’ trail that displays over 100 sculptures and installations among more than 20,000 trees and shrubs.

The woodland setting is now a protected forest. Over the past 28 years, owners John and Dorothy Wakeling turned what was a

disused quarry into one of New Zealand’s largest outdoor galleries, where they how host a varied programme of annual exhibitions, and open weekends in support of charity.

Celebrating the Art of Recycling is intended to provide an opportunity for visitors to learn about how each of the featured artists develop their sculptures, said Dorothy. There will be talks and question and

answer sessions scheduled at 11am and 2pm on both days.

“The event highlights how some artists reuse waste metal,” she said. The event supports the park’s principles around sustainable art. These include encouraging creativity with renewable materials and celebrating artists who use recyclable materials, and renovating and caring for sculptures and installations,

Astro turf project takes root

By Matteo Di Maio

After three years, fundraising efforts for St Peter’s Catholic School’s new AstroTurf are finally on the home strait.

Work on the turf is set to start by April as the school raises the last $20,000 needed for the synthetic all-weather surface.

Principal Grant Stuart hopes a successful Waipa Fun Run on March 15 - run by the school - in addition to grants and community donations should push the school over the mark.

The school, which caters for Year 1-8 students, has raised around $95,000 and the estimated total cost of installing the new surface coming is just under $115,000.

With funding secured, the process of installing the new turf would take place during the school holidays.

The school plans to install the turf in a 45 by 35 metre space on the sports field, next to the school hall. Work will be completed in three stages: excavation to a depth of 50mm, the placement of rock for compacting and finally the layout of the synthetic surface turf.

“We’re hoping that within that two-week period everything will be done,” said Mr Stuart.

The school hopes to save cost by attracting support from Waipā companies.

St Peter’s Catholic would reap the benefits of an all-weather, synthetic turf.

“Particularly in winter, it gets very wet.

Everything tends to flood if there’s a heavy downpour, … and just the way that it’s laid out is not very practical for the winter months,” Mr Stuart said.

The completed turf will be hired out to schools and community organisations.

It will be painted to suit hockey, futsal, netball, and possibly tennis. The school is also looking to put flood lights in to make it viable for evening use.

A cover letter for the project reads: “In the wider community, there is only one full hockey turf which is located at a private school.

This turf is used from 7am until 9pm at night and is in high demand. This sports facility is very popular, and the lack of training space is becoming problematic.”

The new turf would provide a much sought-after synthetic training surface in Cambridge, he said.

“Particularly with hockey, there’s no real training places around. You have got the major turfs obviously at St Peter’s and Hamilton but you haven’t really got many training spaces around the Waikato.”

The school’s last fundraising spend was in 2017 to upgrade the school pool facilities.

Now a Learn to Swim program operates there.

“If we can get something similar happening with the turf it’d be quite nice.”

Students out playing soccer on the soon-tobe AstroTurf were excited by the news. One

Principal Grant Stuart hopes the new turn will get a lot of community use.

Growth in pentaque launches search for new venue

By Viv Posselt

An enthusiastic group that started Cambridge Pentaque three months ago and has already netted around 40 club members are looking for new digs.

They’re currently meeting twice a week at the Leamington Domain – at 1pm on Sundays and 6pm on Thursdays. While the proximity to families enjoying the playground area and miniature trains has helped swell their ranks, the downside is that it is in an area which doesn’t offer the space they need.

Heading the call for a new site is Stuart Stace, who with his wife Helen and another couple, Jennie and Brian Ramage, are recent imports from Christchurch. Stuart said pentaque was popular down there, with several large clubs enjoying strong membership and hosting national and international games.

“We started the group here in Leamington soon after we arrived in Cambridge. There was a disused pentaque piste here, but it was very run down. The bordering was rotten, the wood warped … it was quite dangerous. We spoke to [Waipā District] Council, and they replaced the border for us and added more shingle.

“But with our numbers growing, it is too limiting in terms of space.

We currently divide the piste so we can run two games at once, but

ultimately we would like the space to put in a terrain with several pistes, so we could field more players at once.”

He said the cost of putting in the standard-sized terrain area of 16m by 16m, which would accommodate five pistes, would be about $6000.

Stuart thinks the growth of pentaque here has great potential for Cambridge. He doesn’t think there are any other clubs operating in the area, other than small groups operating in their own venues.

“If we can grow the club here, it offers all sorts of benefits. We can attract more members locally and host inter-club games nationally, or even internationally … and it is another way of honouring our French connection through Le Quesnoy.”

Stuart approached Waipā District Councillor Philip Coles and made a late 2019 presentation to the Cambridge Community Board, when he advised members that one option had come from the Cambridge golf croquet club at the other end of Leamington Domain.

“They have suggested we could put the terrain there and share their facilities. It seems ideal, but there is much to be worked out.”

Philip Coles said he was delighted to support Cambridge Pentaque. “I have a lot of passion and energy for our town, and a lot of contacts who are willing to provide guidance – and/or

resources or funds – to continue to help make our town the most beautiful in New Zealand.”

The game, which originates in France, sees players of all ages throw their boules towards a target (cochonnet), rather than roll them as bowlers do. Players stand inside a circle with both feet on the ground – giving a nod to the French Provencal dialect expression pés tancats, meaning ‘feet planted’.

Stuart said the club welcomed new members. The annual subscription is currently $10, and training is offered to newcomers.

Those interested should contact Stuart on 027 359 8495, or Jennie at 027 439 4092.

Our golden Valentines Continued from page 1

The Adkins have lived much of their married life rurally and on farms, where for the most part Chris was a shepherd.

“At one stage, we were about 45 minutes from the nearest shop,” Lynnette recalls. “I got very good at changing tyres then because we lived down a gravel road and I got seven flats in nine weeks.”

Conversely, the Clarks have at different times been involved in the business world - both together and individually.

“There was a time when Clarkie was the businessman in town and everybody, but everybody, knew him. Hopefully then, I was his biggest supporter,” Coralie said.

“Then, there was a time when I stepped into business for myself and he was my biggest supporter.”

But, while life’s journey has had its differences, both couples are in agreement when it comes to their thoughts on the recipe for a strong marriage.

Coralie may have quipped that for her and Clarkie it was the spa pool, while Chris chipped in with the thought that for he and Lynnette it had been food - but really it runs deeper than that.

“It’s the ability to talk through wherever we were at, and say ‘hey, let’s talk about whatever is going on in your life,’” Clarkie said.

“And life is still like that - there’s stuff you have to deal with as you grow - but it still comes back to that relationship. And the power of agreement is the key thing for us,”

he added.

“I’d agree,” Chris said. “It’s talking things through and being honest with one another - valuing who each individual person is and how we process things. Then working it through.”

Lynnette said she knows exactly what has been “the glue” in their marriage for her.

“Chris has always been my greatest encourager, that is his gift.”

“Just keep smiling and don’t blame one another,” Chris added.

So, what’s the biggest lesson the Adkins and Clarks have taken from 50 years of marriage?

“I’ve learned that the most important thing you get out of life is relationships and friendships.

They’re for a reason, a season or for a lifetime. We’ve got some in all those categories.

“If you have relationships that are building your life up, be encouraged in doing life together,” Clarkie said.

Initially, the fact they shared an anniversary had come up in conversation quite by chance - but it’ s a similarity the two couples say they now treasure.

“St Valentine wasn’t so widely recognised back then when we were married in 1970 - now though, I think it’s a little way of helping Clarkie remember our anniversary,” Coralie quipped.

“Just to be sure though, we’ve signed up for another 50 years,” Clarkie smiled.

FAITH IN CAMBRIDGE

Careful what you say

By Murray Smith, Senior Leader, Bridges Church

“Sticks and stones will break your bones but words will never hurt you.”

It’s a familiar statement. But it is a stupid statement and it is patently false.

Our words are extremely powerful.

They create atmosphere, they build up or belittle and they carry immense impact in shaping a person’s identity and wellbeing, influencing their destiny for good or evil.

Among countless anecdotal examples is the old farmer telling his son, “you’ll never be half the farmer I am.” Those words relentlessly drove the tormented son into proving his Dad was wrong decades after the father’s passing.

These insightful words from the Bible carry timeless wisdom.

“We all make many mistakes. For if we could control our tongues, we would be perfect and could also control ourselves in every other way.

We can make a large horse go wherever we want by means of a small bit in its mouth. A small rudder makes a huge ship turn wherever the pilot chooses to go… In the same way, the

tongue is a small thing but like a tiny spark it can set a great forest on fire.

The tongue is a flame of fire. It can set on fire the whole course of your life.”

(James Chapter 2) A well-liked young guy was a popular staff member in a large firm.

But a young female co-worker carried a distinct aversion to him. Whatever he’d done to be treated with continual disdain was beyond him. In spite of his best efforts to be courteous or kind it was always rebuffed and he was given the clear impression she thought he was “hitting” on her. This girl’s inexplicable dismissiveness existed for a very long time.

Eventually the young man accepted another employment opportunity, and at a farewell function many nice things were said about him.

Nothing of course was said by this one young girl who had kept her bewildered male fellow-worker at bay for so long. Another female staffer questioned the young lady for the reason behind her staunch, negative attitude.

IS YOUR PC TAKING MORE THAN 20 SECONDS TO BOOT UP? THEN, YOU MAY BE NEEDING AN SSD UPGRADE!

She replied, “Say, what!? You should know! It’s because of what you told me about him on my first day here!”

Shocked, the other young woman said, “But I’ve never ever said anything to you about him!”

“Oh yes you have,” she retorted.

“On my very first day you pointed him out to me and said I needed to be very careful round him because he was really dodgy!”

Aghast, the woman groaned. “Oh noooh… I was pointing out another guy to you…not him. Someone totally different, who left just after that …it was a completely different person!”

True story. Insidiously, throwaway words with zero substance tarnished a reputation, caused hurt, a barrier of misunderstanding and a sense of grievance.

Can you think of ways how our families and community might be different if reckless words were replaced with well chosen ones?

Councils commit to alliance

Local bodies across the upper North Island have formed a new multi-agency alliance which will enable district and regional councils to work together on inter-regional issues.

The newly-formed Upper North Island Strategic Alliance includes the Auckland Council, Bay of Plenty, Northland and Waikato regional councils, Hamilton and Tauranga city councils, and Whangarei District Council.

They represent an area which contains over half of the national population and is responsible for about 54 per cent of New Zealand’s Gross Domestic Product.

As part of the new alliance the associated mayors and regional council chair will work together to respond to and manage issues across the upper North Island, and develop agreed positions of national and regional importance to provide a shared voice for central government.

An updated version of the Upper North Island Strategic Alliance (UNISA) triennial agreement was signed by the partners at a meeting in Auckland at the end of January, where they discussed details of the Upper North Island Supply Chain Strategy as well as a future meeting with central government.

It’s an important collaboration for improving the wellbeing and future of Waikato’s communities, regional council chair Russ Rimmington said.

“It was a no-brainer when it came to our council reconfirming our collective efforts under the UNISA umbrella and we look forward to working with all the partners.”

They say the best referee is one you don’t notice.

The game flows, its enjoyable for both players and supporters.

You might argue the same could be said for the best beers.

The latest offering for the Good Local beer team came from Gary, who arrived with a box of Bone Yard from Black Dog. We upped the style by having the glasses pre-chilled in preparation for the 5.9% India Pale Ale. It was overly lively when the caps came off – a couple of bottles from the six pack had frothed down the side of the bottle before it reached the glass. I have to say it’s a worrying introduction to an ale because the more excitement in the bottle, the less is left for the drinker.

Thankfully, this didn’t appear to be the case with our IPA. In fact, at the end of the first mouthful, there was universal appreciation from David, Gary and me – and, strangely, no immediate dissemination of the beer itself. The conversation continued almost as if it

wasn’t there.

Just like a good referee.

The team was called to order to review the ale, and it’s immediate impact and lingering pleasant hoppiness was noted as its strengths before we got back to discussing how to solve the problems of the world.

Black Dog Brewery is, like most of the brews reviewed to date, Wellington based and a healthy number of bars have the Black Dog Chomp on tap. It has been around since 2011 and declares it aims to create interesting alternatives to the range of beer already available.

The brewery is actually part of the Dominion Breweries stable which includes everything from Tiger to Double Brown.

I recall there was a lot of concern when DB bought Monteiths (we haven’t done one of those yet) – but to their credit, the range of “craft” beers on the market under their watch has improved.

So – Bone Yard IPA, it’s a yes from me. – Roy Pilott

Dickey faces a challenge

Women spring to the challenge

They say it’s harder to defend a title than it is to win it in the first place.

And that may well be the case for Raglan’s Jason Dickey when he begins his New Zealand Cross-country Championship title defence in the Rangitikei region this weekend.

The four-round Yamaha-sponsored 2020 championships kick off on farmland near Marton on Sunday, with Dickey well aware that last season’s runner-up, Whanganui’s Seth Reardon, will be just one of at least a dozen extremely fast rivals determined to take away his No.1 ranking.

The nation’s dirt bike elite will converge on farmland at Smith’s Holly Farm on Sunday with all riders knowing a good result is essential if their respective bids for glory are to bear any fruit.

Points from only the best three results from the four rounds will be counted towards the championship titles.

Dickey and Reardon will need to respect the man who was national champion in 2016, 2017 and 2018, Taupo’s Brad Groombridge, who is also among the favourites again this time around.

Manawatu’s former national crosscountry champion Paul Whibley is another expected to challenge for the senior title this year, along with the always-fast Brandon Givens, from Raglan, Rotorua’s Ethan Harris, Hamilton’s Andrew Charleston and Hamilton’s Phillip Goodwright.

Te Kauwhata’s Jacob Brown, Pukekawa’s Jim Orton, Toko’s Karl Roberts and Napier’s Mackenzie Wiig could also be battling near the front.

Cambridge has been tipped as the location for a special sporting event later this year, and it’s not for the faint hearted. None the less, organisers and entrants are encouraging women of all walks of life to take on the 2020 Spring Challenge.

Entries opened this month for the October 16 – 18 event, but participants will need to start preparing soon if they’ve never done adventure racing before.

Anyone can do it, says Cambridge’s Maree Kaati, you just need to have some level of fitness and learn the basics of navigation.

“For beginners the three-hour race is definitely doable. And being in Cambridge it’s right at home – you don’t have to travel anywhere, and you’d have a better understanding of the terrain than the visiting competitors.”

Organised by six-time adventure racing world champion Nathan Fa’avae, the Spring Challenge sees participants kayak, mountain bike and hike to various checkpoints using a map and compass. The location of racing isn’t revealed until the briefing the night before.

Cambridge team Maree Kaati, Michelle Munro and Janey Wackrow have signed up to take part. The trio took part in last year’s Spring Challenge in Whanganui, where Wackrow took part in her first ever adventure race.

“She didn’t do three hours either, she launched straight into the six-hour,” said Kaati. “She did really well.”

“I had done triathlons in the past, but I had no idea what to expect,” said Wackrow, glad to have taken up the sport.

“I definitely wasn’t put off when I finished even though I was totally shattered. I just thought that I really needed to do a little more training next time!

Cambridge women will give it a go.

“It’s such a cool event and a great introduction to adventure racing. Knowing it was just all women made it less intimidating and there were so many different people doing it, from the young whippersnappers through to some very active veteran women,” said Wackrow.

“And being a team event makes it way less stressful, you have to do everything together and can encourage each other and have fun together.”

“And you wouldn’t normally get entry into the places where they tend to hold the event, farmers tend to open up their farmland for these types of events,” Kaati added. “So, you wouldn’t normally see some of these places and it can be quite a privilege.”

Cambridge adventure racing team Janey Wackrow, Michel Munro and Maree Kaati at the 2019 Spring Challenge start line along the Wanganui river.

“You definitely need to do some training beforehand, but it doesn’t have to be intense, you just need to spend time being on your legs as you are constantly on the go. Lots of hill walking would be good. It’s more about endurance than speed and more about going at a steady pace.”

Kaati agreed it was like the tortoise versus the hare, because it’s not just about finishing first.

“It’s not just switching off and going from A to B, you have to collect points at different checkpoints and navigate your way there. It’s not just brawns, it’s brains too.”

They recommended trying out some of the events organised by local navigation clubs like Orienteering Waikato to learn the basics of navigation. Most importantly, they hope

Saving a national taonga

Dactylanthus taylorii is New Zealand’s only fully parasitic plant and grows on the roots of about 30 species of trees – it’s flower, often referred to as the wood rose, is attractive to pests.

Intrepid members of the Pirongia Te Aroaro o Kahu Restoration Society have completed their third summer trip to the mountain’s highest reaches to continue ongoing work protecting a rare New Zealand plant species.

The group – active in conservation and restoration projects at Mt Pirongia for 14 years – is undertaking a range of work to protect the Dactylanthus taylorii (pua o te reinga), a small native plant which is parasitic and grows underground.

The Dactylanthus flower grows above ground and is particularly attractive to possums, as well as goats and rats – so the plant specimens monitored by the society are caged to protect them from these predators.

The society’s chair Clare St Pierre says the focus of recent trips up the mountain by group members has been to assess the flowering of the Dactylanthus and to carry out hand pollination.

“The main pollinator of these plants has historically been the short-tailed bat (or pekapeka), and unfortunately that’s a species locally extinct at Pirongia – hence our members are literally down on their hands and knees, using tweezers to collect pollen from the male flower and apply it to the females to complement other

natural pollination that may occur,” Mrs St Pierre says.

Pollination must occur in summer.

“We have a small window of time when the plants are flowering when we need to get this sort of hands-on work done. It’s vital to ensure the plants produce seed for the future population of the species.”

The group’s trip last week included caging three new Dactylanthus plants and repairing other cages damaged by possums which have been eating the flowers.

Cara Hansen, Department of Conservation Biodiversity Ranger, says the society’s work is a vital part of rebuilding the mountain’s

ecosystem.

“The work the group does is fundamental to a long-term effort underway to maintain some of the conservation wins we’ve had on the mountain in recent years. Without the society’s commitment a lot of the work undertaken on the mountain wouldn’t be possible,” she says.

“The Department, local iwi and the society have been developing a restoration plan to guide the group’s work over the next five years.”

The society’s next trip up the mountain will be in June, to determine how successful the hand pollination has been, by assessing the resulting seed production.

$2020 in 2020…

A mother-son duo have surpassed their fundraising target for the Muscular Dystrophy Association, raising $2020 in an effort which saw Chris and Toby Brockelbank shave their heads on Saturday. It was their son and brother Nic’s 18th birthday, a fitting date for the special fundraising effort. Nic, born with muscular dystrophy, became an ambassador for the Muscular Dystrophy Association in 2013 after launching two cook books to raise funds for the organisation, and has raised over $14,000 for the cause over the past decade. He was on hand for the big shave on Saturday, pictured here with brother Toby (left) and mum Chris (right).

Dance events lined up

Waipa Wranglers’ Line Dancers are dancing into the New Year with a host of social events and classes.

Next up at the end of the month is the annual Mairoa Muster hosted in the King Country by the Mairoa Mob Line Dancers.

An absolute-beginners class started this week on February 11 attracted 25 people including three new faces.

“The first few weeks can be rather daunting when everyone else seems to know the steps and your feet won’t cooperate but if you stick to it, it becomes easy and the enjoyment kicks in,” club spokesperson Maria Double said.

“We welcome beginners to come along – after the first few classes you’ll be able to move on to the improvers class and at the end of the year you’ll know hundreds of dances and be able to enjoy the social dancing at events like the Muster.

Classes are at the St Paul’s Trinity Parish Hall, 43 Queen Street, Cambridge, every Tuesday at 12.30pm, finishing at 3.30.

Joshua Dickie’s 400th win was at the perfect venue for him.

Cambridge Raceway was the birthplace of Joshua Dickie’s driving career and it was apt that he brought up a special milestone in the sulky at the Waikato track on Sunday.

Dickie sat on 398 career wins heading into the meeting and he quickly extended it to 399 with a 1-1/4 length win behind the Roger Villiger-trained Presidential Jewel in the Hypedup.co.nz SP Handicap Trot (2200m).

He wasted no time in bringing up win 400 in the following race, the Hello World Travel Mobile Pace (2200m), reining home Madame Connoistre to win by a head over Ocean Beach.

Dickie trains the mare in partnership with his father, John, and he said to bring up the milestone at the track where it all began, and in his own colours, was a special moment.

“It was a good feeling to pick that up today, it is a pretty cool milestone,” Dickie said.

“I started driving work at Cambridge at 15, so it was good to reach the milestone at Cambridge and in our own colours as well.”

Dickie was happy with Madame Connoistre’s win, but said she was given every favour in the running.

“It was a good run, but she had a bit of luck,” he said. “She had a covered-up run the whole way.

“She is a horse that hasn’t really been going

that well, but she got into a good race today.

“It’s good for her owner too, Wayne Barnes. He and his wife are nice people and Wayne has been a friend of Dad’s for a few years.”

Dickie was just as rapt with Presidential Jewel’s win in the race prior.

“Presidential Jewel, she is a lovely little mare,” Dickie said. “I have only driven her twice now and she is a pretty consistent and genuine type of mare.

“She ran second that first time. She has just got lovely manners and a lovely way of going.

“She got the job done today, so it was good for Roger Villiger (trainer), he’s a good fella, and Barry Cullen. Barry is doing a bit of work with her as well. They are good people to drive for.”

Currently sitting on 16 driving wins for the season, Dickie said he would like to at least double that by season’s end and possibly add another victory at elite-level to his resume.

“If I can drive more than 30 in a season I am pretty happy,” he said. “It would be nice to get to 50 and I am always trying to chase a Group One. “They are pretty hard come by and I have been pretty lucky in recent years to get on the right one to pick a couple up.” – Cambridge Raceway

Mare at concert pitch

Things may not have gone Concert Hall’s way in the Gr.3 City Of Auckland Cup (2400m) at Ellerslie last start, but her connections are hopeful she can bring home another cup from the Auckland track tomorrow.

The Roger James and Robert Wellwood-trained five-year-old will contest the Gr.2 Joe McDonald Avondale Cup (2400m) and her connections are putting her last start fourth-placing behind them.

“It really just didn’t suit her at all (after the false start),” Wellwood said. “Ryan (Elliot, jockey) said the first time going past the post he had a whole heap of horse under him and the second time they jumped out she wasn’t the same horse.

“She still stuck on well and ran very genuinely, so we weren’t disappointed, but the way the race unfolded really didn’t work for her.

“We will just put that behind us. She has had a good time between runs now. We

have just got to look forward and not back.”

The daughter of Savabeel has pleased her trainers since then, finishing runner-up to Group One performer Supera in a 1200m trial at Tauranga last week.

“I thought her trial was very good, she only got out late and hit the line very strongly behind a very smart horse in Supera,” Wellwood said. “We were very happy with it and she has come through the trial well.

“She worked this (Wednesday) morning and worked very nice, so I couldn’t be happier with her.”

While pleased with the mare, Wellwood said his only concern is the 58.5kg she will have to carry this weekend.

“She is going to have to carry a fair bit of weight now, she is only one point off the top, so she won’t be getting any weight off the topweights.

“We are very happy with the way she is going and she is rated that way for a reason.

“She is a very genuine racehorse and just wants to be there. She really thrives on work and loves being a racehorse.”

All going well after Saturday, Concert Hall could be set for a Group One tilt in a few weeks’ time.

“If she runs out the race strongly we may look to head to the Auckland Cup (Gr.1, 3200m), providing she comes through the run well,” he said.

Meanwhile, Kingsclere Stables will also line-up Madam Hass in the Stella Artois 1200.

The winner of two of her four starts, Madam Hass finished out of the money for the first time last start when fourth behind exciting threeyear-old Catalyst in the Gr.3 Mr Tiz Trophy (1200m) at Ellerslie.

Wellwood said she didn’t do herself any favours when over-racing and he hopes the addition of some gear will assist in improving her racing manners.
