Full time volunteer Bronny Adam is doing all she can to run Pirongia’s pantry but says more support is needed from the community and businesses in surrounding areas to ensure there is enough food for those in need.

The United Together AWWD (Auckland/Waipa/Waikato Districts) Food and Rescue Community Pantries group operate from the Pirongia hub located on McClure Street.

Adam says they support, welcome and respect everyone who is in need.

The pantry has been operating since the beginning of the year, Adam delivering various foods daily and dropping off bulk collections from supporting food banks about once a month.

“I hope to get support from supermarkets and local businesses in areas such as Te Awamutu to supply all their unused food before it goes to waste.

“We do a lot to try and save food before it gets tossed out and you’d be surprised by how much is still usable from supermarkets.”

She says it would be good to eventually gain support from Lions and Rotary Clubs to open a shop.

“This would really help more of those people who struggle to feed themselves and their families every day.”

Currently Adam collects food from places such as Kaivolution in Hamilton and makes deliveries to help people in areas including Pirongia, Kihikihi, Otorohanga, Kawhia and Raglan.

than what’s needed.

“We also want to make sure people aren’t dropping off things such as clothing or other items.

This is a free open food pantry.”

On the beat

Let them know it’s Christmas

At this time of year as we inch closer to Christmas many families start to worry about the pressures of the finances.

The Te Awamutu Combined Churches Foodbank is an organisation I work with that can help those in need. It relies on and receives very generous support from many individuals, local businesses, and community groups and churches in Te Awamutu. They are especially grateful for the gift of a new fridge and freezer by an anonymous donor.

Getting assistance from our community is an integral part the Foodbank’s service. Often supplies deplete quickly following school holiday breaks. For this reason, they are asking for donations of the following items: 1. Tinned vegetables – corn, peas, beetroot and tomatoes.

2. Tinned fruit – all varieties are welcome, 3. Baked beans and spaghetti,

4. Packets of rice, pasta, spaghetti and noodles.

5. Breakfast foods such as Weet-bix , cereals and rolled oats.

6. Spreads such as jam, honey, vegemite, marmite and peanut butter.

7. Biscuits, tea and coffee.

8. Longer life perishables – eggs, carrots, potatoes, cheese.

9. Cash donations are also welcomed.

They also appreciate donations of hygiene products, soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and disposable nappies.

Items can be dropped in at the Foodbank Contact Centre, Kainga Aroha Community House, 301 Bank Street, Te Awamutu, between 9:00 am and 4:30 pm.

Referrals for food assistance can be authorised or referred by any Church Pastor, Minister, Winz or a Financial Mentor (budgeter).

Also over the next few weeks I’ll be writing more about a community initiative to Ryan Fleming help families for Christmas. Operation Christmas Hampers is a joint group consisting of Kainga Aroha, North End Church, Police and many businesses to collect Christmas food donations and presents for families in Te Awamutu’s area.

We will be looking for volunteers soon to help wrap presents and assemble hampers.

I found last year was a very rewarding experience.

Keep an eye out on our Facebook page for Operation Christmas Hampers for where you can donate time, gifts and food.

Funds coming, more needed for unit

By Savannah Patterson

Beattie Community Trust Board chairman Trevor Walters says funds are still coming in for the dementia unit, but more is still needed to get the project up and running.

“We really would like some Government funding of some sort to get us across the line so we can start this project with some certainty.

“Currently we have raised over 70 percent of the funds from locals which stands at $5 million so if Government could contribute 10-15 percent of the cost of the project then we would give the green light to start.”

He says this $6.8 million project will benefit districts in Waipa, Otorohanga and North King Country.

“It’s important that they hear what we are doing and hopefully get their support.

“We have done presentations to Hillview in Te Kuiti and the Otorohanga Lyceum Club which went well, and we are doing a presentation to the Piopio Lions Club on Wednesday, November 6.”

The Otorohanga Lions Club drew their car raffle last Friday and had an auction as part of their commitment to raising $200k for Beattie Dementia Home.

“We have had our application for funds turned down by the Provincial Growth Fund which was hugely disappointing as a lot of hard work was put into this application and we were led to believe that our chances were more than favourable - it took over nine months to finally be given the

grim news.”

Walters says they met with Te Waka to ask for their support and they can see the positive impact that this facility will have on our communities.

“There are many people who have told us that they will contribute a considerable donation or pledge but as yet we have not heard back from them.”

He says it’s important they have an indication so they can add these pledges and have a more accurate final figure to work with.

“Four of the five houses have been shifted off the site, so the Beattie Community Trust Board are committed to making this dementia home a reality.

“We are still positive to make this work.”

November 8 fundraiser close to Finn family heart

By Viv Posselt

Tim Finn says being part of the fundraiser for Cambridge Community House (CCH) is something he welcomes from the heart.

“I haven’t performed here for ages,” he said last week, “and this is an event I wholeheartedly support.”

The CCH event at the Cambridge Town Hall on November 8 is the organisation’s main fundraiser for 2019. The Evening of Stories and Song will feature Finn, Cambridge’s own Harry Parsons and celebrity cook Allyson Gofton, who now lives on the outskirts of town.

Finn was born in Te Awamutu; it was where his parents lived and worked, and where he and his siblings – Carolyn, Judy, and equal-

ly-acclaimed muso brother Neil – grew up. The family recently lost their father and patriarch, Richard Finn, who died last month aged 97.

“The thing about our family,” Tim said, “is that we were always very close. It makes you realise that places like Cambridge Community House are there for people who might not have supportive families in the same way we do.

“Places like that create an environment where people feel comfortable. Those who need help feel they can walk in off the street and get the help they seek without being judged. Many people who are facing difficulties, whatever they are, might find it intimidating to go into government organisations or agencies. They feel more comfortable at places like Cambridge Community House.”

Finn last performed in Cambridge several years ago when he offered his family’s songs and memories through White Cloud: Songs and Stories, presented at Gaslight Theatre. Part of that featured Parihaka, a single inspired by Dick Scott’s book, Ask That Mountain.

It is a song he was asked to write by sister Carolyn Casey, who just happens to be chairperson of the Cambridge Community House Trust.

Finn will include Parihaka in his November 8 performance. He said both his parents had a strong social conscience and next week’s performance in Cambridge would win their nod of approval.

Part of the fundraising evening will be a silent auction featuring several significant prizes. Just a few of those are an outdoor table

Meet the thunder from down under

By Savannah Patterson

Te Awamutu man Justin Rummel travelled all the way to the UK to sweat his way to becoming the silver award winner at this year’s World Chilli Eating Championship.

After being off work all year due to an injury he fundraised to get himself to the competition.

The 32-year-old challenged the world’s undefeated champ Shahina Waseem from the UK and they ate 38 of the world’s hottest chillies in 30 minutes.

Despite winning gold, Waseem gave Rummel the League of Fire World Champion Chilli Eating belt to take back to New Zealand to spread more awareness of the hot-headed sport.

New Zealand’s own Chilli Eating Championship will be held in February and Waseem will be in Auckland with plans to go home with the belt.

Father-of-three Rummel completed 10 rounds before calling it quits after biting into his second chilli in the final knock out round – the speed eating section.

He says this competition is the toughest thing he’s ever done.

“There were just so many chillies to eat in such a small amount of time, and they don’t start off mild, we started with some of the world’s hottest chillies.

“After eating so many chillies by body went into shock and I was pretty much seeing colours and going crazy, so my body rejected that second chilli.”

Rummel, originally from Melbourne, has lived in Te Awamutu for four years and grows chillies at home.

“I have about 50 different types of chillies at the moment including Carolina Reapers, Chocolate Scorpions, Bhut Jolokias, Black Panthers, and Apocalypse Scorpions.”

He says he has always loved chilli and hot sauces, but it wasn’t until a video of him eating a Carolina Reaper (which is the world’s hottest chilli) on social media that a colleague told him about the NZ Chilli Eating Competition.

He then decided to enter and won his first competition in Waikato in 2018 and was placed third nationally.

Rummel - also known as ‘Justin the Thunder from Down Under’ is a spray painter by trade and has competed in chilli eating competitions for about 18 months.

This year Rummel won the Bay of Plenty and Waikato regional competitions and took out first place in the NZ Chilling Eating Champs in August.

Rummel also has a YouTube channel – The Heat Hunters where he tries out different chilli pods and reviews hot sauces.

Love and labour Eco Fest – it’s

By Savannah Patterson

Eight73 consulting will host Love and Labour in Otorohanga to celebrate entrepreneurial women in New Zealand.

The event will be held at the Otorohanga Club on November 29 and will feature three speakers including Jessie Jarvie the founder of The Baby Bag, Emily Holdaway the founder of the blog Raising Ziggy and The Good Fund and Lisa Fong the founder of Move it Mama.

The night will also include a panel of businesswomen who will share their journey.

Owner Kylie Mouat says the event will celebrate these women who have combined passion and hard graft to succeed.

“Growing a business and a family can be a really tough gig, but the rewards are so worth it, and with a little bit of love and a whole lot of labour, we can all achieve something pretty special.”

The Love and Labour event is a chance to be inspired, motivated and entertained and learn from others who have been on the journey to turn a hobby into a business, she says.

“Love and Labour is sort of the 2.0 version of the Empowering Women event that we organised last year.

“It was such a success that we were being asked to hold it again, and so we are, but we’ve added a third speaker and live music to make it even better.

“This is our way of giving back to the community through something Nicki (colleague) and I are hugely passionate about, which is women overcoming any thoughts of glass ceilings or inequality holding them back from success.”

She says just over 100 people attended last year and the feedback received was so positive that they thought they would hold the event again this year.

She says the three featured speakers are all women who have backed themselves and taken risks.

“They’ve seen an opportunity or a gap in the market and come up with a super cool idea and made a business out of it.

“Lisa Fong spoke last year; she has an online fitness community where she does workouts on Facebook Live and she will be talking about how her business has grown.

“Emily Holdaway is leading the charge with sustainability while showing the raw reality of motherhood- she doesn’t sugar-coat anything and is bound to have us in stitches of laughter, I think!

“And our third speaker Jessie Jarvie was a corporate lawyer who gave it all up to be an entrepreneur.”

She says they hope the night will inspire people to trust in themselves and give their business ideas a go.

About 100 tickets are available. And $5 from every ticket sold will be donated to the Waitomo Waipa Women’s Refuge.

a BYO event

By Viv Posselt

An inaugural Kids Eco Festival coming to Cambridge later this month is shaping up to be a fun and informative way to put the concept of waste reduction within everyone’s reach.

The idea is to bring children and their parents faceto-face with different ways to better protect the planet by reducing waste. Visitors will be able to make their own smoothie using pedal power, sew their own reusable bags, learn how to become nature explorers, discover the secret life of worms, enjoy retro games, follow a water conservation path and enter a ‘wearable arts’ recycled fashion show and competition.

There will also be a Go Eco pop-up shop, information about organic waste options, links to local projects and initiatives, native plants on sale, and more.

Behind it all is Janine Monk, a business administrator and long-time sustainability enthusiast who has been toying with the idea of doing something like this for the past couple of years.

“Sustainability has always been a passion for me,” she said. “The idea has evolved slowly, really from a starting point of thinking it would be more effective if we took it to kids first. They are often the ones to bring good ideas into the home and introduce

things to their parents.”

In May, she linked up with Camilla Carty-Melis at the Go Eco Waikato Environment Centre, an organisation that grew out of a programme started in 1993

by Hamilton City Council. It now supports environmental wellbeing through E-Waste Recycling, running a Sustainable Living Retail outlet, providing community education, and its signature project Kaivolution Food Rescue, a climate action project that collects surplus food and redistributes it to community groups.

“I wanted people to learn different ways of doing things that will help reduce waste. We have a whole lot of activities lined up that will show children and adults

better ways of doing things … it will be interactive and a lot of fun,” said Monk.

Carty-Melis said the November 16 festival would be a fun day for all the family, that is all about sustainability and environmental action.

“Come and meet organisations that are all about protecting the planet; learn some new skills, play some games and find out how to get involved in local initiatives.”

She urged all comers to BYO coffee cup and smoothie mugs for the event. “If this goes as well as we hope, we might look at taking it to Hamilton, and perhaps run it again.”

The event will be held at Cambridge Primary School hall from 9am to 2pm on Saturday, November 16.

Camilla Carty-Melis from the Go Eco Waikato Environment Centre is working with Janine to bring the Kids Eco Festival to life.

A Go Fit That’s Us expo at Te Awamutu Rugby Sports Club attracted more than 500 people.

Event manager Nin Duggan says the Expo numbers exceeded expectations.

“The air buzzed with excitement as visitors tried new and familiar activities.

“Whilst the weather was unpredictable, the public continued to participate in various live classes ranging from dance fit, combination fitness, sport fit, fire drills and skills

fitness tests required to be a fire fighter.

“The exhibit holders were kept busy all day with interactive exercises at their booth and visitors were able to try out new things that they did not know exist.”

She says this event would not have been possible without the support of all the exhibit holders and the local business sponsorship.

Go Fit That’s US is a non-profit Waipa orientated group made up of a team of fitness and sport enthusiasts including six youth ambassadors.

Waipa turns 30 1989 vs 2019

By Sophie Iremonger

It has been 30 years since Waipa District Council was formed in 1989 with the nationwide amalgamation of 850 borough and county councils into 86 district councils.

Councils have come a long way since, “and for the better too,” said Wayne Allan, Waipa’s group manager and one of the “originals” from the ’89 founding team at Waipa District Council.

He was fresh out of Massey University as a 23-year-old planning officer when he joined the Waipa team, having been with the Matamata County Council for about a year before it joined with the Waipa County Council, the Cambridge Borough Council, Te Awamutu Borough Council and part of the Raglan and Waikato county councils to form the Waipa District Council.

“It was difficult, it was a bit of a nightmare actually,” said Allan, remembering the year-and-a-half of referring to six different district schemes to administer council rules before the 1991 Resource Management Act ushered in a new district plan for Waipa.

The new structure opened new doors, he said, enabling Cambridge’s now-exponential growth because the former borough councils were limited to how far the town could grow.

“Growth was stunted by this Cambridge borough boundary,” he said.

“So with the new district, that artificial boundary was gone and the new

local government was much wider.”

They’ve planned for new growth cells to the north and west of Cambridge since then, and expect to see residential and industrial developments established in those areas over the next few years – in fact building some of those projects has already begun.

Looking back over the past 30 years, workflow had improved exponentially, Allan said. “Back then you’d get a stack of letters every day, and you’d be writing letters responding to your customers, now it’s instantaneous email. We had hard copy information in file cabinets, and now it’s instantaneous information at your fingertips, for us and for customers too.”

Waipa as a district has unified too.

“Initially you had those tensions between Te Awamutu and Cambridge but all those have gone now,” said Allan, referring to the former Cambridge - Te Awamutu relationship akin to that of Australia and New Zealand.

Looking toward the next 30 years, he hoped to see Cambridge keep its young people “so that we don’t just end up with a lot of retirement villages,” he said, pointing to the industrial and residential growth plans as a means to support that demographic.

“I see a continuation of strong residential growth underpinned by good planning, and trying to maintain the Cambridge character. …

And maintaining this as a place of sporting excellence and the Home of

Waipa District Council’s group manager Wayne Allan is one of thirteen Waipa District Council staff still serving since it was formed in 1989.

Champions, not only sporting champions but everyone in the community being champions of what they do.”

“That’s what I really enjoy about the job, we’re helping shape the future of growth and development around the district.”

He likened Waipa’s 53,000 strong population as a “sweet spot” for local government to have a stable economic footing, yet still be small enough to respond effectively to its communities.

“Hopefully we’ll see many more really good decisions made by our elected representatives that provide for our future generations.”

Exhibition celebrates Engineering options pushed children’s creativity

By Savannah Patterson

Creators Educational Trust’s will be holding an exhibition on November 7 to showcase the children’s artwork and things they’ve been working on.

Manager Karyn Wilcox says they have planted sunflower seeds and the children have been painting sunflower pictures which will be one of the things on display at the exhibition.

“We try to encourage natural exploration for the children rather than providing too much information, so it’s not teacher lead it’s more about the children exploring things in their own way.”

“We love having creative spaces and showing what the children are learning as well as showing different research behind some of things we do.”

Children, parents and others are invited to go along and have a look at what they’re doing and what they’re all about.

“Our inquiry for 2019 is launched out of last year’s child and teacher wonders, curiosities and desire to create a better world.”

Wilcox says the journey of this inquiry has been evident to the kaiako (educators) since the beginning of the year.

“We focus on the characteristics of kindness, respect and guardianship of our space, our environment and people within it.

“We saw that through the lens of the child we as teachers were imperative in being worthy of imitation and continuing to be learners and researchers.

“This enabled a platform in which to support and guide tamariki to be lifelong learners” She says they make sure to give the children time to think about themselves with things such as yoga, so they have time to stop and breathe and stretch as well as learn about their bodies.

The not-for-profit trust is located on the campus of Waipa Christian School on Chapel Drive in Te Awamutu and invests all their resources back into the children and educators.

“We are a community who are passionate about making a difference in the lives of children and their families – we are serious about quality and are driven by love.”

Wilcox says the innovative centre design allows the children to grow in creativity and empathy for one another.

“The hallmark of our centre is the strong relationships we form with families on a daily basis.”

Waipā students are being encouraged to look at engineering options as the demand in the industry ramps up.

The New Zealand Institute of Highway Technology opened its new campus in Hamilton’s Victoria Street on Tuesday and sent a clear message that opportunities abound.

NZIHT is one of the largest providers of delivering civil engineering, roading and technical skills training throughout New Zealand and has 130 students on its new campus studying a Graduate Diploma in Engineering Highways.

A further 383 students are completing formal qualifications through the Institute – while they work. More than 3000 participants have enagaged with some form of short course through the institute this year.

Formal qualifications range from Level 2 & 3 National Certificates to Level 6 NZ Diploma in Engineering – Civil and the Hamilton based Graduate Diploma in Engineering Highways.

General Manager Kyle Hall said the model enabling civil engineering companies to upskill their staff and keep them on the job was a winner.

And he said the demand for quallified engineers was growing both nationally and internationally.

About 40 industry leaders were welcomed to this week’s opening.

The new campus is on the corner of Claudelands Rd and Victoria St and completes something of a Taranaki enclave in the centre of the city.

NZIHT is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Western Institute of Technology at Taranaki (WITT) and its offices look out to the Taranaki Savings Bank (TSB) offices across Claudelands Rd. The Taranaki link was referred to by Hamilton East MP David Bennett who quipped that the Chiefs rugby franchise had led the way in bringing Taranaki into the region.

Dozens of NZIHT students are working on major roading projects throughout the country – notably the Waikato Expressway.

Hamilton East MP David Bennett, pictured at the NZIHT opening with students Aditya Mitta and Anita Manda, who both spoke about their experiences.

“Taranaki and Waikato are a crucial part of New Zealand linking with the southern regions – it’s a fantastic approach for WITT to be looking beyond Taranaki and it will be complimentary to Waikato,” Bennett said.

He said NZIHT was changing peoples’ lives by enabling them to transit into work and boost the New Zealand economy.

“You are in the right place at the right time,” he said.

WITT chief executive John Snook also spoke and there were testimonials from two students, Aditya Mitta and Anita Manda, who had come to New Zealand from India to study at NZIHT. “It is inspiring to hear their stories,” Kyle Hall said.

“It makes me feel all the more privieleged that they have chosen us.”

Hall said NZIHT bringing international students to New Zealand, particularly those studying full time, represented a $3 million-plus injection for the Waikato economy.

Book in – the website’s arrived Waipā libraries are celebrating the launch of a new website.

For 12 years the district’s two libraries, in Cambridge and Te Awamutu, have had a temporary website with limited information.

But a new website - www.waipalibraries.org.nz - has been built to improve customer experience for library users.

The site features news, event information and integration with the library database. One of the new features is an event search to find details of activities for children, teenagers and adults like Toddler Time, Makerspace, author talks and upcoming workshops and meetings.

Library supervisor Rachel Newnes said the website would make searching for information much easier.

“Our two libraries are incredibly important hubs in the Waipā district,” she said. “They provide a welcoming space for residents to gather and learn new things, explore wonderful stories and get creative. Our new website is a major step forward in making our wonderful resources, events and information more accessible to the public.”

To celebrate the launch of the new website, the libraries will host Website Week, a week-long series of interactive daily activ-

Ohaupo School celebrates 150 years

By Savannah Patterson

About 250 people attended Ohaupo School’s 150th Reunion which saw oldest ex-pupil Stan Ranby, 96, have the honour of cutting the cake.

The Ranbys have had five generations attend the rural Waikato school – and Stan and his brother Ray (94) would arrive each morning on horseback.

The youngest student today is Evalyn Riley, 5, who is among the rest of those who now either walk to school or are dropped off by car or bus.

Ohaupo School spokeswoman Val Millington says even though the school remains on the same site it was built on in 1869, times certainly have changed.

She says the reunion was “a fantastic success.”

“The reunion was organised by a small committee

group that worked on bringing this to life over the last few months.”

She says people travelled from all over the country as well as from Australia to be at the reunion.

“Ohaupo is one of the oldest schools in New Zealand and I think it’s important we celebrate that.

“We paid homage to the first students of the school and to the people of the land.”

This reunion is of significant importance to the school’s land as the hill site the school sits on was used as a camp for foreign militia when the Māori were banished from their land due to the Confiscation Act in 1863.

The children of these militiamen were the first students of the school and were taught at a teacher’s home across from the cemetery.

The first classroom wasn’t built until 1870 and by 1886 a

100% CAMBRID OWNED

new building was provided due to the student growth lifting to 80.

“It was great to see the previous students from over the years as well as students from today in attendance.

“There was a mihi whakatau (welcoming speech) from students on Friday and attendees were able to visit the classrooms and students and later a meet and greet in the school hall.”

A powhiri was performed on Saturday with an official opening with morning tea and the cutting of the cake.

The Te Awamutu Brass band played and the visitors were able to look through the memorabilia displays and photographs from over the decades.

The reunion finished with a morning church service at Christ Church on Sunday.

Travelling Light confirms Guineas credentials

Waipa racehorse Travelling Light snatched victory from the jaws of defeat in Saturday’s Gr.3 Barneswood Farm Soliloquy Stakes (1400m) at Ellerslie, earning clear favouritism for next month’s Gr.1 gavelhouse. com New Zealand 1000 Guineas (1600m) at Riccarton.

The unbeaten filly, bred and raced by Coll MacRury and his father Ian, was rated a $151 chance for the fillies’ classic when the market opened earlier this season.

That price was slashed to $8 following brilliant victories in her first two starts, including a six-length romp at Matamata two

weeks ago. Now, after Saturday’s Soliloquy heroics, the El Roca filly sits at the top of the market at $3.20.

The three-year-old began awkwardly in Saturday’s fillies’ feature but recovered into a midfield position behind the front-running First Rock.

The pace slackened down the side of the track and the field bunched up, leaving Travelling Light trapped behind a wall of horses rounding the home turn.

When jockey Sam Collett found her way into clear air, Travelling Light’s perfect record was hanging by a thread. There were

Dig this: Jamie’s a winner

By Savannah Patterson

Ten-year-old Jamie Frost has won the Yates Budding Young Gardener of the Year title – and a trip to Hawaii.

Jamie, from Te Awamutu, went through to the national finals as one of six regional winners and Liane Donovan from Yates said he stood out “as a genuinely passionate little gardener and his generosity of spirit won the judges over”.

Jamie was inspired by his Grandmother Di to get into gardening but three years ago she suffered a heart attack and could no longer help him in her garden.

Now Jamie goes to her home and plants up her vege garden and tends it, so she has enough food to eat and

doesn’t have to go to the supermarket as she can no longer drive.

A penchant for pumpkins has seen Jamie enter the Hamilton Pumpkin Carnival competitions for nine years in a row with continuing success.

The youngster with a green thumb earlier won the Central North Island Budding Young Gardener title as part of the nation-wide competition.

“My favourite part about gardening is pulling off the sweet spring green peas from the peapod, eating them fresh, then planting more,” said Jamie.

“I also grow a lot of New Zealand spinach, the only vegetable native to New Zealand, as that is the main

many lengths to make up and less than half of the home straight left to do it.

But she worked through her gears and stretched out superbly in the last 150 metres, wearing down Bavella in the final strides to snatch victory by a half-head. Jennifer Eccles made up good ground wide out on the track for third.

“It’s a bit of a relief,” trainer Ben Foote said. “This was her biggest test, but I’ve always had a high opinion of her and thought she was going to be hard to beat today.

“But the way the race was run, when she got into a bit of trouble, I was worried. After she missed the kick, then got held up when they slowed the pace, I really didn’t think we’d get there.”

The Soliloquy was the ninth black-type

success of Foote’s training career, and his second-biggest. He won the Gr.2 Concorde Handicap (1200m) with Ego in 2010.

Now the Cambridge trainer is turning his attention to even bigger things – the New Zealand 1000 Guineas at Riccarton on November 16. Travelling Light will attempt to follow in the footsteps of last year’s Soliloquy winner Media Sensation, who added the 1000 Guineas in her next start.

“As long as everything goes well from here, we’ll be there for sure,” Foote said.

Soliloquy place-getters Bavella and Jennifer Eccles lost no admirers with their performances, with Bavella’s 1000 Guineas odds tightening from $8 to $7 and Jennifer Eccles from $12 to $9.

FRIDAY NOVEMBER 1, 2019

OMF Stakes likely for Concert Hall Group Three winner Concert Hall is set to back-up at Ellerslie next Tuesday after running home well for fifth over 1600m at Te Rapa on Labour Day. “There was a bit of rain around in the late afternoon and the track really loosened up and that meant she really never felt comfortable in the footing,” said Robert Wellwood, who trains the mare in partnership with Roger James.

“Her last 100m was the best, but she didn’t have a lot of room up the straight. We were pleased with the run under the circumstances.”

Concert Hall (pictured right) was nominated for the Gr.2 Coupland’s Bakeries Mile (1600m) at Riccarton

next month, but her connections have elected to keep her closer to home.

“We left her in the Coupland’s Mile just to keep our options open,” Wellwood said. “It’s a long trip down there and we have got other plans with her throughout the summer.

“We will look to stay up here and will probably throw a nomination in for the OMF Stakes (Gr.3, 2000m) next Tuesday at Ellerslie and from there potentially onto a Counties Cup (Gr.3, 2100m).

“There are plenty of other nice options over Christmas, but we will take it step-bystep.”

Meanwhile, the Kingsclere team are happy with the progress of Rondinella in

Melbourne.

The daughter of Ocean Park has finished runner-up in both the Gr.2 Stocks Stakes (1600m) and Gr.3 Ladies’ Day Vase (1600m) and her trainers are looking forward to stepping her up in distance next week.

“Rondinella is going well,” Wellwood said. “She will be nominated for both the Mackinnon (Gr.1, 2000m) and Matriarch (Gr.2, 2000m), but will more than likely run in the Matriarch.

“We are pretty proud to see her competing so well over a mile there, although it is well short of her best.

“She is very well and we are looking forward to stepping her up over 2000m.”

Long-faced Baker ruing Jack’s draw Cambridge trainer Murray Baker’s biggest fear has become a reality.

Gr.1 Victoria Derby (2500m) hopeful Long Jack has drawn the outside barrier of 16 for Saturday’s A$2 million contest.

The wide berth continues a series of high draws for Baker and training partner Andrew Forsman in Melbourne this spring, where the stable are campaigning a team of three horses.

The Chosen One started from the outside gate (barrier 18) in the G.1 Caulfield Cup (2400m), while stablemate Madison County has drawn in the carpark (17 of 18 and 11 of 11) at his last two starts.

“You wouldn’t read about it,” a disappointed Baker said.

“The 2500m Derby start at Flemington is right in front of the grandstand and there is not long until they hit the first bend.”

But more of a concern for Baker is that the last time Long Jack was at Flemington, the showy colt melted pre-race.

“My biggest worry is that he is going to boil-over in front of that big crowd there,” he said.

“He wore ear-muffs down to the start at Geelong last time and he was pretty quiet.

They seemed to work, and we will do the same again on Saturday, as well as having two handlers.”

The last start winner of the Listed Geelong Classic (2200m), Long Jack has been ridden

by Damian Lane in all four starts this spring, but the in-form hoop will not be riding at Flemington on Saturday, due to a suspension he incurred from his Caulfield Cup victory on Mer de Glace.

“Craig Williams will ride him on Saturday and he is riding in great form too,” Baker said. “He rode him in a gallop at Flemington this morning (Tuesday) and was happy.”

Baker is confident his charge is ready for a serious staying test, with the elegant and lightly framed Long Jack bred to excel over ground.

“He is a good stayer. He is by So You Think out of a Monsun mare. I’ve got no doubt that he should stay the distance, which is half the battle.

“He certainly stayed at Geelong, he was just getting into it at the finish.

“You’ve got to get him to relax. He got a bit stewed up at Flemington at his previous start.”

The pros and cons of spring three-year-

olds contesting a 2500m feature has been the subject of industry debate once again in recent weeks, however, the Derby looks to have drawn a deep field this year.

“There looks to be some good types in the Derby this year,” Baker said. “Ken Keys’ horse, Soul Patch, was strong to the line the other day at Moonee Valley and obviously the two favourites (Shadow Hero and Thought Of That) bring good form.

“We’ve just got to take our chance and Flemington is a big track.”

H

Meanwhile, The Chosen One is set to contest Saturday’s Gr.3 Hotham Handicap (2500m) with Mark Zahra booked to ride.

“I’m very happy with him. He is fit and happy and the outside barrier didn’t help him at Caulfield last start. He had to go back to last and had a lot of work to do and when he came wide he copped that wind.”

The Chosen One is currently 26th in order of entry for the Gr.1 Melbourne Cup (3200m) on Tuesday and will likely have to win the Hotham Handicap to gain a start.

SPOTLIGHT KIHIKIHI

Scoops love being involved in the Kihikihi and Te Awamutu community. Over two years ago the business opened a shop along Kihikihi’s main street as a means of establishing a permanent base. Hoops and Scoops was well known around the area as a food truck business visiting regional markets and townships. Their donuts and ice cream were such a hit that customers were keen to see it establish permanency. While still operating the truck, the family-owned business became a presence in Kihikihi. “We employ local staff and have been thrilled to support the community,” says Marion Johnson. Hoops and Scoops has a high profile in fundraising initiatives, supporting local events, schools, sports and community groups.

And the boutique donut and ice cream shop continues to wow customers with its

delicious products. Everything is made from scratch at the shop. Marion has perfected the art of making gluten free donuts and says the shop caters for all dietary needs.

The range includes sorbets, ice cream, frozen yoghurt and coconut milk based ice cream, as well as mouth-watering dipping sauces.

The caramel, berry and chocolate dips are the perfect accompaniment to Hoops and Scoops’ soft hand-crafted mini oops and donuts. But now the business is on the move – and it isn’t just the truck. In late November the shop will relocate to 54b Sloane Street, Te Awamutu. While Marion and her team are sad to leave Kihikihi, new business plans mean they need more room. The specialty business has got lots of ideas for product expansion and yummy new treats – so watch this space. After all, everyone loves a treat – and Hoops and Scoops know it!

Mondo Homes embracing change

M

ondo Homes might be a new name in the building industry but the team is certainly not new to the industry.

In creating Mondo Homes, they have pooled together years of experience and industry knowledge to provide a specialised building service that utilises their talents and latest technology.

The business was established to fill a gap in the market. “We recognised a need to enhance in-depth personal touches when building houses, and the need to work closer with clients,” says managing director Noel Shaw. “We put the client first.”

Mondo Homes also saw the importance of moving with the times. “These days a building company needs to be in a position to adapt to changes and have the ability to embrace new technologies when they come available, particularly when it comes to scheduling the contractors on

a job and ensuring deadlines are met.”

The Cambridge-based company specialises in design and build. To achieve the perfect home, the team believes the needs of the owners must be met. As well as liaising with clients to discover their requirements and see how they live, factors like budget, section configuration, sun and wind are also taken into account.

Homes are then designed to match all these needs.

For those wanting to speed up the building process, Mondo Homes offers house and land packages. Having all the thinking and planning done by an experienced team can

be very appealing to home owners. Whatever the option, the Mondo team know that the key to a successful stressfree build is management.

Their experience in putting together finance packages, through to the understanding of good house design and quality control, makes them

the best choice when it comes to building.

And to make things even easier, the Mondo team prepares a video walk-through of the completed concept plans to help people visualise their new home before it’s even started.

This Sunday the Big Muffin Serious Band will play a free concert at the Anglican Church Hall, 16 Lyon Street, Kihikihi. 2pm - 3.30pm. All ages. Info: sara@grayson. kiwi.nz.

TERMINATOR: DARK FATE A terminator (Gabriel Luna) is sent after auto worker Dani Ramos (Natalia Reyes) and her family — but enhanced human fighter Grace (Mackenzie Davis) arrives just in time to rescue her, followed swiftly by Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton). The pair must keep Dani alive to save the future.

As familiar lines are spun in new ways and we build to a heavy metal clash of a finale, this occasionally leans too heavily on the homage but mostly, remarkably, feels like a worthy descendant rather than a cheap cash-in. Sarah must challenge her presumptions, Grace must learn a sort of peace after a lifetime of war, and Dani finds a faith that will serve her well in the years to come. For the first time in a long time, we can look to the future of Terminator with hope.

HILLARY OCEAN TO SKY For this feature-length documentary Michael Dillon revisits his award-winning doco From the Ocean to the Sky, about Edmund Hillary's Ganges jet boat expedition. Back in 1977, Dillon filmed Hillary and crew (including son Peter Hillary) as they jet boated from the mouth of the Ganges to the base of the Himalayas, then set out to climb peak Akash Parbat. Dillon has remastered existing and unseen footage, and interviewed crew members about Hillary's last big expedition. For the people of India, it was a pilgrimage led by a hero of almost god-like status and millions lined the river to watch him pass in his 'miraculous' jet boats. For Ed and his 22-year-old son, Peter, it was a healing journey too, as they came to terms with the recent loss of Ed's beloved wife, Louise and daughter Belinda.
