IT’S A REAL NEWSPAPER

JUNE 18, 2020

Back in the hot seats

By Jeremy Smith

Waipā councillors got to meet face to face again on Tuesday - for the first time since late March.

There was a full turn out of councillors for a meeting of the Strategic Planning and

Policy committee, and Council staff and about a dozen members of the public were in the chambers when committee chair Susan O’Regan called the meeting to order for a 9am start.

Pictured at the meeting is deputy mayor Liz Stolwyk, Pirongia ward councillors Clare

PJ party for kids in need

Let’s Talk! deb.espin-scott@ljhooker.co.nz residential & lifestyle consultant

Tree Town Real Estate Limited MREINZ | Licensed Real Estate Agent (REAA 2008)

The Cambridge Real Estate team, with Sherry Herkes at centre front, holding some of the pyjamas already collected for Kids in Need Waikato.

By Viv Posselt

An idea that started small in the prelockdown mind of Cambridge Real Estate director and agent Sherry Herkes has taken on legs far beyond her initial expectation.

The company is collecting pyjamas for Kids in Need Waikato, and has pledged to match WOF • Service pair-for-pair every set of pyjamas donated by staff members, clients or the public. The Repairs • Parts initiative will run to the end of June.

In just the first couple of weeks, Cambridge Brakes • Tyres Real Estate has collected over 70 pairs of pyjamas. “At the beginning, I thought it all makes and models would be great if we could get 100 pairs in, and our company would match that with all makes and models another 100 … but I’m blown away with the numbers we already have. It’s great to see the www.keyte.co.nz support out there for something like this.”

Sherry said the company had long been engaged in activities that gave something back www.keyte.co.nzto the community…it is a regular supporter of Cambridge Lifeskills. Just before lockdown Sherry pondered what else they could do, perhaps something that directly fulfilled a need for kids needing an extra bit of help?

“I put it to the staff, and they all came on News/Editorial board straight away. I was so thrilled at their Roy Pilott editor@goodlocal.nz response. The staff were the first to bring in 027 450 0115 pyjamas, then some of our clients and then Jeremy Smith jeremy@goodlocal.nz members of the public who knew about it 022 317 9499 through our social media postings. It has Viv Posselt viv@goodlocal.nz taken on a life of its own.”

027 233 7686 The new pyjama sets are being collected for boys and girls aged zero to 18. Once the Advertising Manager company has matched the number donated Janine Davy janine@goodlocal.nz throughout June, they will hand over the PJs 027 287 0005 to Kids in Need Waikato founder, Cambridgebased Linda Roil.

Owner/Publisher Linda was overwhelmed by the gesture. “It David Mackenzie david@goodlocal.nz is just amazing to see such support for what we are doing.

Hello everyone!

Covid-19 has had a big impact on us all in different ways. For some, having survived the initial lockdown, redundancy or business closures have now brought unforeseen hardship and challenges.

Finding yourself in this situation is a new experience for most people, one that can be confronting and about which you may feel uncertain and ashamed.

Please know that there is no shame at all in reaching out for support to keep your household going.

Salvation Army and Cambridge Community House can both help with food and budgeting advice – they are there to help, so at the risk of repeating myself from columns past, please use their services if needed.

On the crime front, Cambridge has been experiencing a spate of thefts from cars which we are keen to curtail.

You can help us by keeping temptation out of the way and removing the opportunity for this type of offending.

Please ensure you lock your vehicles whenever you leave them, even if just popping back into your house.

Remove all loose change and valuables from your car, and hide anything else from plain sight that may attract an offender.

Sometimes youth will be attracted by the small things - lollies or loose change, while laptops, wallets, GPS and other consumer electronic items will attract adult offenders.

If your car doesn’t appear to have any of

these, there will be little or no reason for it to be targeted.

If it isn’t targeted, your car window doesn’t get broken or doors tampered with and there is no need for the associated inconvenience and insurance claim.

If you are unlucky and your vehicle does get interfered with or broken into, report it to the police.

If you have any information that may help us identify offenders for these incidents, get in touch too. Pop into the police station, email Cambridge CommunityLiaison@ police.govt.nz or phone 105 / Crimestoppers (0800 555 111).

There’s nothing quite like talking to someone considering a career in Police to remind me of the passion that I hold for this job.

I recently started my shift with one such conversation. In the NZ police, no two days are the same and there are many different career path opportunities, so life is never boring as a Constable.

If you or someone you know are interested in joining the Police, visit www.newcops. co.nz and take the plunge.

It sometimes takes a while to get there, but commitment and motivation are two key attributes that you will require in this job.

House prices

Waipā house prices are at a record high despite the Covid lockdown. The REINZ says the district’s median house prices reached $700,000 in May - up more than $100,000 in a month. It was a 19.7 per cent increase year-on-year.

The figure was based on 44 property sales – there were 95 in May 2019.

Covid tests

Hamilton clinic Anglesea Urgent Care has taken on responsibility for Covid-19 assessment and testing following the closure of the Waikato DHB’s last Community Based Assessment Centre at Claudelands. Anyone with cold like symptoms who is concerned about exposure to Covid should ring their GP or call Healthline, 0800 358 5453, the DHB says. Anyone who is not enrolled with a GP should contact Anglesea Urgent Care, 07 858 0800.

New board

The Government has replaced all five previous Crown appointees to the Waikato River Authority.The new board is Stu Kneebone, Roger Pikia (current iwi CoChair), Patience Te Ao (interim Tainui representative) Dylan Tahau, Jackie Colliar, Bob Penter (Chief Executive) Paula Southgate (Crown Co-Chair), Danny Loughlin (current iwi) and Erina Watene-Rawiri. They replace John Luxton, Traci Houpapa, Alan Livingston, Peter Buckley and Barry Harris. Raukawa and Maniapoto will also appoint representatives.

Aucks take more

Aucklander are drinking more Waikato River water form this week. Watercare has invoked emergency power to take an extra 15 million litres of water a day from the Waikato as it battles a chronic water shortage. The heads of Watercare, Auckland Council and Waikato Regional Council announced this week they had aeed to work more closely together on issues of mutual importance.

The cultural changes influenced by Covid-19 have extended to how we work. Jeremy Smith talks to a broker who found staying home works.

Working at home Matangi’s Gavin Lynch has switched an office in town for the comforts of home.

After being given a sense of what operating his business - Yes Mortgages - entirely from his home office would be like, thanks to the enforced nation-wide lockdown, he’s decided to do so permanently.

Now, post Covid-19, the mortgage broker won’t be returning to the office space in the Cambridge CBD he’s occupied for nine years.

All told, Mr Lynch has run his business from several office based in town for 13 years - so the move home is a big one.

Thoughts of doing so had been on his mind prior to Covid-19 but lock down and the pandemic sped up the process and “forced the issue”, he said.

A conversation with his wife Lisa in the early stages of alert level 4 about the practicalities of doing so then led to the decision that, in his case, it could work going forward.

“I had been wondering what working from home would look like, and once I did I thought ‘I really do like this.”

His experience reflects a wider discussion now being had throughout New Zealand’s business community in the wake of the lockdown.

And the question being asked is: can the country’s employers now move away from traditional working arrangements and towards greater flexibility?

Last month, it was reported that 70 percent of a snapshot of 1300 workers and managers surveyed by Auckland firm Frog Recruitment said they were happy working from home and weren’t in a rush to get back to the office.

While Mr Lynch agreed working from home, either in part or entirely, wouldn’t suit some business models - in his case a number of factors meant it would work well.

About 80 percent of the work he and his other staff member - Kendall Nolan - do is based around phoning and emailing clients and then visiting them in their homes.

He primarily looks after the wider Cambridge area, Kendall Nolan looks after Hamilton.

“I had to weigh up a number of key factors, like how this would work in terms of financial factors,

business factors and thinking ‘would this negatively affect what I can offer my clients?

“Then, of course, I had to consider what it meant for my family.

“It all depends on individual circumstances, but once I could see that in my case working from home was ticking all the boxes, I really couldn’t see there being any negatives,” he said.

The fact that he and Lisa’s five children - Clara, 17, Daniel, 15, Maria, 12, Anna, 10 and Jessica, 8, - were now a little older was also a positive, he said.

Working from home also added extra flexibility in that when he needed to, he could be present at school events such as cross country.

He said he has already noticed a marked increase in workload post Covid-19, another positive moving forward, he said.

Gavin Lynch has shifted his mortgage business home.

One break after another for Rhys Rhys Beare was kept waiting throughout the Covid lockdown to play rugby – but no sooner had he started, than his season ended.

The Leamington School eight-year-old was left in agony at the bottom of a ruck early in the second half of a game against Tamahere last Saturday.

He suffered broken shin bone and is now in a footto-thigh plaster cast.

Rhys, a rugby fanatic who dreams of becoming an All Black, had been “waiting all year” for the start of the winter season, which had been delayed by Covid-19, his stepdad Tim O’Callaghan said.

“He was so, so excited about it. He was up at the crack of dawn on Saturday and he was fizzing for it, he was so keen, and you could see that as soon as he got on the field.”

Hearing Rhys screaming in agony was “horrific”.

Tim is unsure exactly what caused the break to Rhys’ right tibia, which resulted in an ambulance ride to Waikato Hospital.

“He’s gutted because it’s the end of his season,” Tim said.

“It’s been horrible to see him go through it because he’s normally such an active kid with a very active personality as well. The hardest part has been getting him to sit on the couch all day, but apart from that he’s been a trooper.”

Rhys’ leg will be x-rayed tomorrow.

“In the best-case scenario, if it’s healing well, he’ll be able to go straight into a fibreglass cast and get back to school on Monday,” Tim said.

Rhys has already targeted next summer’s touch season - in the meantime, he is looking forward to going back to school.

Rhys Beare is already planning a return to sport.

2.4 from 4.2: Glad to be back the rates rise A recommendation for a 2.4 per cent rate rise will go to a full Waipā District Council meeting at the end of the month.

If approved, and councillors are almost certain to back their own recommendation, the new rates will apply from next month.

The decision follows calls for a zero rate rise as a consequence of the Covid lockdown, but Mayor Jim Mylchreest has consistently made it clear he did not support that.

On Tuesday, Council’s Strategic Planning and Policy Committee endorsed the 2.4 per cent figure, which is below the 4.2 per cent increase initially proposed in February, and less than the 2.7 per cent increase originally forecast three years ago in Council’s Long Term Plan.

Chief Executive Garry Dyet said Council has undertaken ‘substantial’ work to review all operational budgets, capital works, revenue and internal resourcing to keep rates as low as possible.

“We started 2020 on the understanding our next financial year would be challenging as we dealt with the impacts of constrained labour markets and higher construction costs. Now our focus has shifted to leading

the recovery programme for our district from the global COVID-19 pandemic,” Dyet said.

“The coming year will be the most challenging year we have faced in recent times.”

Dyet said Council staff had worked tirelessly to find the right balance between providing shortterm rates relief for residents and continuing with projects and activities to help the local economy recover.

Council’s revised Annual Plan for the 2020-2021 year is made up of $97.82 million in operating expenditure, $186.61 million for capital expenditure, and $124.38 million for revenue. External debt sits at $185.5 million.

Only 55% of Council’s revenue comes from rates. The rest is made up of development contributions, fees and charges and funding from Government agencies. Council is forecasting a significant drop in revenue, largely due to a projected 18% decline in residential and nonresidential construction as a direct impact of COVID-19.

Dyet said any further reduction in costs to make savings in rates will likely result in a reduction in the services that make our district an attractive place to live and invest in.

From his seat at the table, councillor Grahame Webber spots the News.

Pushing his wheelie chair back a few steps, he gives a thumbs up with a big smile.

“It was so good to be back,” he said later.

The greeting seems somewhat symbolic of the jovial feeling in the room.

There are smiles all round as Waipā District Council’s Strategic Planning and Policy committee prepared for a 9am start time on Tuesday.

The chamber at Council’s Bank St Te Awamutu offices is packed with councillors, council staff and members of the public.

It’s the first time a council meeting has been held there, face to face, in nearly three months.

On March 25 the country went into Covid-19 alert level 4 lockdown - not long after Council transitioned its meetings online, utilising the world of technology and the platform Zoom.

Glancing around it’s clear to see people are happy to see each other.

And those spoken to by the News following yesterday’s meeting agreed that while Zoom had been a good way to keep meetings rolling in lockdown, there’s really no replacement for being together in person.

“It was wonderful to be able to meet and greet again - some of the staff I hadn’t seen in the nearly that entire three months and a took the opportunity to say hi to everyone,” Mr Webber smiled.

He felt that while meeting remotely had filled a need, there was at times a certain interpersonal

dynamic that was lacking.

“It was good to have that back by being in the chamber,” he said.

Mayor Jim Mylchreest agreed the shift to Zoom had been a “steep but good” learning curve and saw scope for it being utlised going forward.

“There’s definitely a place for it to be used again in the future alongside usual proceedings, not as a replacement.”

Te Awamutu ward councillor Bruce Thomas agreed, adding that simply put, Councillors enjoyed each other’s company.returning to the room and the atmosphere.”

Maungatautari ward councillor Elwyn Andree-Wiltens echoed those sentiments.

“It was fantastic - it is much more the preferred way. I feel there’s far more engagement and debate,” she said.

Waipa escapes monumental debate

Waipa appears to have been left sidelined as debate rages around the country over colonial names and statues.

Hamilton City Council bowed to threats this week and removed a statue of John Hamilton, which was presented to the city by the Gallagher Group.

Huntly resident Taitimu Maipa had threatened to pull down the

statue. He attacked it with red paint and a claw hammer in 2018 and claims the navy commander was a murderer.

Hamilton mayor Paula Southgate said Maipi’s suggestion the Mongrel Mob would help him was not a factor in the decision to remove the statue.

Vandals have also attacked a monument to former prime

minister Sir George Grey in Auckland’s Albert Park.

At the same time, Tainui is renewing calls for Kirikiriroa to be restored as the name for Hamilton and there are calls in th South Island to rename Cromwell.

Waikato Regional Council chairman Russ Rimmington, a former Hamilton mayor, chipped in this week by suggested the

Meet Dave – the tractor A Waipā author’s new children’s book will raise money for charity.

Farmer and vet Rachel Numan has turned a tractor into a hero in a series which followed the adventures of “Tractor Dave” on a New Zealand dairy farm.

In the first book, Dave steps in to save the day after drama hits during the important maize harvesting day on the farm.

Mother of two Rachel Numan is a first-time author based in Pokuru, Waikato with her two young sons and her husband.

Numan said the idea for the book came from a classic eighties tractor.

“A few years ago, my husband and I bought a 1390 David Brown tractor. It’s a sweet little tractor that starts with a purr on the first try, and it quickly won our whole family’s heart - especially my three-year-old.

“While we initially purchased it for mowing the roadsides of our dairy farm, Tractor Dave as he became known, soon found himself being roped into helping out with the big tractor jobs - like teddering silage and weed control on the

farm.”

The 32-page book is aimed at three to seven-year-olds and is illustrated by Filip Lazurowicz.

Described as a “fun rhyming adventure” Numan hopes the book will appeal to machinery lovers both big and small.

She also hopes the book she described as a fun rhyming adventure will help children living in urban centres understand more about farming life.

“I am passionate about encouraging kids to read, and about New Zealand’s primary industries.

It would be awesome to engage little future farmers with Dave’s story, as well as showcase the rural sector in a fun way.”

Fifty cents from every copy of Tractor Dave sold will also going to a farmer led charity which supplies meat to food banks for New Zealanders in need.

The book will be released in September. For more information, go to www.tractordavebooks.co.nz

New boat to the rescue…

By Jeremy Smith

Te Awamutu-based Sailability Waikato has launched what is being called the most monumental purchase in its four-year history – a $34,000 rescue boat.

The group also plans to be back on the water, running its fortnightly sailing sessions at Lake Ngaroto, by the start of the new sailing season in September.

By that time, thanks to several factors including low water levels at the lake over summer followed by Covid-19 restrictions, it will have been almost six months since group members have sailed.

Financial help from several Waipā-wide community organisations made buying the boat possible, and Sailability Waikato’s sailing master Michael Maloney has a fresh breeze of enthusiasm in his sails as he describes the possibilities it opens up for them once they’re back on the water.

“We’re very grateful for all of their

Sailability Waikato’s new rescue boat.

support,” he said.

Because the club hasn’t had a rescue boat of its own before, they been receiving assistance from Ngaroto Sailing Club, which up to this point has provided its patrol boat for Sailabilty Waikato to use

when been available.

“We’re really grateful for their input.

Now though, this purchase means more to us than simply being just a rescue boat,” Mr Maloney said.

“It means going forward we’ll be able to set our own calendar for the sailing season and be on the water whenever we like.”

Founded to give people of all ages, abilities and disabilities an opportunity to experience sailing, about 600 people have now been on the water with Sailability Waikato.

The rescue boat, a 4.7m Southern Pacific RIB craft, will accompany the group’s three Hansa 303 craft, which group members sail in while they are on the water.

Mr Maloney, who has international sailing experience, said it was the magic of sailing that was the driving force behind the opportunities Sailability Waikato provides.

“When you introduce people to it and you see the smiles on particularly the kid’s faces, that makes it all worth it,” he said.

Sanctuary move for tiny birds delayed

New Zealand’s smallest native bird will be arriving at Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari a little later than planned.

Titipounamu, or rifleman – are found on Mt Pirongia and birds from there were to be taken to Maungatautari before Covid-19 intervened.

Now it’s likely to move – described as “translocation” will happen next April or May. The tiny, short-tailed insectivorous bird, one of the last two species of endemic New Zealand wren, were once found on Maungatautari, but fell victim to introduced predators.

The other wren is the ground-dwelling rock wren – Mātuhu – which is found in the South Island.

The titipounamu graced the New Zealand $1 note before it was withdrawn from service but in its own environment has eluded most New Zealanders. At 8cm and weighing 6-7 grams, they are difficult to see.

Last June a volunteer team from Sanctuary Mountain teamed up with Pirongia te Aroaro o Kahu Restoration Society to carry out a population survey on Pirongia. The survey made use of rifleman song playback, listening and observations with teams of people scouring the sometimes steep and slippery slopes of the maunga. Pirongia will be a key source for the birds, along with a DOCmanaged site at Pureora Forest, which was also surveyed in 2019.

The surveys help determine that removing birds from Pirongia and Pureora would leave enough for the populations to remain sustainable. Initial reports showed titipounamu sightings were abundant within the predator-controlled areas of both sites.

The decision to move the birds in autumn next year was designed to avoid interrupting of the breeding season.

Chamber seeks solutions

By Viv Posselt

A comprehensive business roundtable planned for next week is the latest in a suite of strategies initiated by the Cambridge Chamber of Commerce to help businesses navigate through challenges presented by the Covid-19 pandemic.

A June 24 ‘Leaders Lunch’ will bring business leaders together with representatives from the Waipā District Council and Te Waka, Waikato’s regional economic development agency. The gathering is intended to open conversations around the business challenges ahead and how best to surmount them, said Cambridge Chamber of Commerce CEO Kelly Bouzaid.

The Chamber has been proactive in seeking solutions since the start of the pandemic. At the beginning of lockdown Ms Bouzaid launched an online weekly forum focusing on positivity, which had its final airing last week, five days after the country moved to Level 1.

She said they were staggered at the readership it generated.

Proposed teacher aide pay jumps “huge win”

By Steph Bell-Jenkins

Goodwood School’s learning assistants are delighted with an historic pay equity settlement that would see New Zealand’s 22,000 teacher aides receive wage jumps of 23-34 per cent if adopted.

The proposed settlement, negotiated with the Ministry of Education by education union NZEI Te Rui Roa and released on May 27, seeks to “address the gender-based undervaluation” of the teacher aide role.

“This is a huge win for teacher aides and for women,” said NZEI Te Riu Roa president Liam Rutherford.

“The evidence from this process was stark and confirmed what we already knew – teacher aides have been significantly undervalued and underpaid for decades because they are predominantly women. This proposed settlement will finally pay teacher aides equitably and recognise their value.”

The agreement includes pay increases, changes to the way skills are assessed, and the development of career pathways As schools around New Zealand celebrated Support Staff Week last week, Cambridge News caught up with five Goodw.ood School learning assistants on Thursday to find out what the changes would mean to them.

Sarah Taylor, who has eight years’ experience as a learning assistant, said she was fortunate

in that she had never had to rely on every cent she earned to make ends meet.

“But I’ve worked with women who have, and for people in that situation this will be life changing,” she said.

“This issue is not just about females in schools; it’s about females in lots of different roles. If you look at pay rates for jobs that are traditionally female-orientated it raises the question of what we value as a society.”

Marian Simmons, who is in her fourth year as a learning assistant, said the proposed settlement would give her more financial breathing space, and enable her to “help towards the bills a bit more and maybe save up for a family holiday”.

Combining last year’s collective Living Wage Pay Rise agreement with the pay equity settlement, all teacher aides will receive pay increases of $4 to $6.60 per hour in 2020.

However, as a group the Goodwood learning assistants were most excited about the provision for more professional development, particularly as their role had evolved rapidly in recent years.

“Once upon a time the job involved helping teachers with basic admin like photocopying, but it’s changed so much,” said Gill McCarthy, who has six years’ experience.

“Now we’re often called on to provide individual or group

support to children with complex educational or emotional needs, which requires a wide range of specialist skills. “ So the promise of funding being set aside for more structured personal development is really exciting. It’s the learning I’m really looking forward to.”

The group emphasised they had always felt highly valued and supported by children, teachers and staff members at Goodwood School.

“When you’re feeling so appreciated every day you don’t tend to think about the pay as

much as it might in other jobs where you’re unhappy and unfulfilled,” said Sarah Graham, who has been in the role nearly two months.

Cynthia Doole, in her 3rd year as a learning assistant, said it certainly wasn’t a job for those looking to earn big bucks.

“We do it because we are passionate about helping children thrive and the satisfaction we get from it is immense,” she said.

“The pros far outweigh the cons.”

The five women said they would vote to accept the settlement and felt NZEI Te Riu Roa had done an

outstanding job of negotiating with the MoE to arrive at an agreement that “recognised the true value of their skills, responsibilities and experience”.

All teacher aides are eligible to vote on endorsing the proposed settlement, including non-union members. NZEI Te Rui Roa is encouraging all teacher aides to join the union, as “only members will receive advice and support to make sure they are transitioned to the right grade”.

Council’s $795k Schools are tickled pink rebuild unveiled

Waipa District Council will employ community advisors to work with social agencies and community groups to help the district recover from Covid-19.

The positions will be part of a $795,000 recovery package earmarked by Council to help support and rebuild Waipa’s economy and community following the pandemic. The recovery money will come from a reserve fund built up by earnings from arbitrage arrangements; it will not be funded by rates Mayor Jim Mylchreest said it was inevitable Waipā will be negatively impacted by Covid-19 and that Council will have a critical role in the district’s recovery.

“Waipa might be in a slightly better position that some parts of New Zealand but there is a lot of pain still to come and we need to be ready for it,” he said.

“We know that social services within our communities are already stretched and that redundancies are forecast. If we are to minimise the negative economic and social impacts of that upon families in our district, it’s important we are proactive and put resources where they are needed most.”

An independent report commissioned by the Council said district-wide unemployment as a result of Covid-19 will climb from 2.5% to 6.9% to March 2021. Maori unemployment within Waipā is predicted to rise to 16 %.

Iwi need to be at the forefront of any initiatives, given Maori will be disproportionately impacted by the Covid fall-out, Mylchreest said.

The community advisors are likely to be employed on an 18-month fixed term and will help link Waipa to regional and national initiatives. They will work in the community to ensure social priorities are well-understood and that responses from Council are stream-lined, timely and clear.

“This is not about handouts. It is about leveraging and bolstering our community’s existing strengths and making sure we are doing all we can with what we already have,” Mylchreest said.

“This is aimed at growing the long-term capability of the social sector so Waipā, overall, builds more resilience. We need to make sure people have the right tools to fully participate in our community so they can contribute economically and socially.”

Three Waipā schools will receive signed, limited edition Gallagher Chiefs Women In Rugby jerseys to help their girls’ rugby teams with fundraising.

Cambridge High School, Te Awamutu College and Ōtorohanga College are among a total of 23 schools within the Chiefs’ region to receive shirts.

With Super Rugby’s return post Covid-19 on the weekend, one of the fixtures saw the Chiefs take on the Highlanders in Dunedin.

When the Gallagher Chiefs squad took to the field, they donned the Women in Rugby jersey to acknowledge women who play or support rugby.

The playing squad’s jerseys from that game will help the schools fundraise towards sports equipment, travel or apparel for girls rugby teams at the respective schools.

Te Awamutu College principal Tony Membery said receiving the jersey was very pleasing.

“We have a proud tradition of girls’ rugby, and girls’ involvement in a wide range of other sports.

“The striking jersey will be put to good use for fundraising once we have shown it to students at assemblies and explained its message and design,” he said.

Cambridge High School director of sport Guy Ockeden told the News the school found out they were a recipient on Tuesday and were delighted with the

donation.

“That’s absolutely fantastic,” he said.

“It’s a great way of showing support for girls’ rugby within the Chiefs region.”

He believed it was one way which could encourage more girls to take up rugby The school has now been told a Chiefs player was due to hand deliver the jersey to the school soon.

Mr Ockenden said they hadn’t made concrete plans about what to do with the jersey yet.

“But we’re certainly very grateful and we’ll decide how to make the best use of it,” he said. Ōtorohanga College principal Traci Liddall was delighted.

“We are a keen rugby school and love the Chiefs, so to have that support recognised is awesome.”

The jersey (pictured left)_ was unveiled in March, and following the Highlanders clash, each of the 23-member Chiefs playing squad will donate their signed jersey to high schools and colleges within the Chiefs region.

The Highlanders edged the Chiefs 28-27 in the weekend’s closely fought game at Dunedin’s Forsyth Barr Stadium, watched by about 20,000 fans.

St Peter’s students were this week given some insight into the business acumen of two former students this week.

Alumni Anna Mowbray, from toy company Zuru, and Milford Asset Management’s Head of Institutional Clients, Mike Cruickshank, spent a morning at the school presenting to students from all year groups.

Anna Mowbray left St Peter’s in 2002 and with her two brothers Nick and Mat, set up Zuru in 2003.

Zuru specialises in making inexpensive toys, like Bunch O Balloons, a gadget that fills 100 water balloons in 60 seconds. It sells its products in 120 countries and generates more than $600 million in annual sales.

Gains in air quality in the Waikato during the COVID-19 lockdown have been negated within days of business returning to normal..

For Waikato Regional Council chair Russ Rimmington, the lockdown results “demonstrate that a move to low emission vehicles will make a huge difference to air quality”.

“It also shows that our continued support and encouragement for industry to improve their emissions controls is quite justified when it comes to the health of our people and environment,” he said.

Waikato Regional Council monitors air quality in seven airsheds across the Waikato region - Hamilton, Tokoroa, Te Kūiti, Taupō, Putaruru, Morrinsville and Thames.

An Affiliation of Opal Glass

• Windscreen Replacements • Stonechip Repairs • All insurance work

An improvement in air quality was identified in three out of the seven airsheds over the COVID-19 Alert Level 4 lockdown period.

Reductions in Hamilton and Morrinsville are thought to be related to a reduction in road traffic as well as industry closing down.

Te Kūiti experienced a significant change as industry wound down.

Waikato Regional Council senior scientist Jonathan Caldwell said the results could have been different had lockdown occurred during winter.

“In this case the lockdown occurred just as we were transitioning into autumn when the weather was initially warmer.

“But with people spending more time inside and temperatures starting

to cool towards the end of lockdown, woodburner use was increasing which can confound the assessment of the impact of a reduction in traffic emissions.”

New Zealand air quality varies strongly between seasons.

Waikato Regional Council monitors ‘PM10’ - airborne particles that are 10 microns in diameter or smaller.

These are often referred to as inhalable particles.

Waikato Regional Council has also recently started monitoring PM2.5, particles that are 2.5 microns in diameter or smaller. These are more closely associated with health impacts and are typically associated with vehicle emissions, home heating emissions and industry emissions.

Resthaven Lifting lid on elder abuse doors open

By Viv Posselt

Opening the doors at Resthaven on Burns’ resthome to its first visitors was an extraordinary moment, says general manager Rachel Jones.

“Visits from families restarted at Level 2 and it was a week of reunions,” Mrs Jones said. “Once Level 2 was announced, we were flooded with phone calls from families wanting to book in their time to visit.”

She said that a sign-in process that used to take two minutes in pre-Covid19 times, took up to 15 minutes in Level 2 by the time the strict precautions were taken, including visitors filling out a health declaration form, education for visitors on the rules, temperature checks for visitors, and donning PPE (masks and gloves). Bookings had to be made before anyone visited, the appointments were staggered, and there were restrictions on who could visit, the number of visitors and the area they visited.

“Our health and safety co-ordinator Carol Hawker, and receptionist Emma Waa have done a wonderful job of providing the first contact for visitors,” said Mrs Jones.

“Since Level 2 we have had a sign-in ‘reception’ area right at the entrance door, where visitors are greeted and guided through the process.”

The team has adapted to the changes since moving into Level 1, she said, while still having visiting guidelines and measures in place for residents’ safety and for ongoing vigilance against Covid-19.

Many of the visiting measures have continued from Level 2.

“We still ask visitors to pre-arrange their visits the day before. This is for contact tracing, to ensure we do not have too many visitors in the facility at any one time and to ensure we have staff available to help visitors through the process.”

“This is our residents’ home, and it’s so important that their families can come and visit. We know the restricted visiting has asked a lot of our residents and families and our staff, and we want to say a huge thank you to them all for their patience and understanding.”

A stand at last Saturday’s Cambridge Market went a long way towards highlighting the growing problems associated with elder abuse.

The stand was hosted by Violence Free Waipā in conjunction with Grey Power and Age Concern.

Ruth Nicholls, Anti-Violence Coordinator for Violence Free Waipā, said she was heartened that people of all ages from the Cambridge community stopped by to ask questions about the prevention of elder abuse.

“Many were surprised to learn that 75 percent of elder abuse is inflicted by family members,” she said. “People normally link the word ‘abuse’ with physical violence, but it can also be financial, neglect, control and so on.

There was also a lot of interest shown in Cambridge Community House and the services they offer.”

Because much elder abuse goes unreported, exact figures are difficult to ascertain, but Ruth said New Zealand data concluded that 10 percent of the population aged over 65 experience abuse or neglect. It is seen in men and women of every religious, ethnic or socio-economic group and can be defined as psychological, financial, physical, neglect or self-neglect.

Brent Nielsen, Executive Officer for Age Concern Hamilton, said they received on average more than one new case every day across the Waikato, and urged people to take steps to stave off problems while they were able.

“The majority of cases we deal with relate to financial abuse, where the

KOTARE DOWNS

abusers are family members,” he said.

“If I could make a plea, make sure you have a will, and make sure it is up-todate with every change in property or marital status. A few dollars invested now can save thousands later, plus a lot of anguish. We all know we will have a need for a will, and it is crucial to have a relevant document.

“Secondly, having an enduring

power of attorney document is the very best way to look after your affairs should you become incapable. We don’t know when that could happen to us, but it could be at any time, so to have a document which your lawyer will craft with you is as crucial as a will.”

The other field days…

THURSDAY JUNE 18, 2020

Mr Wallis and several other committee members always attend the annual Fieldays - and have even driven their tractors there in the past.

The day also featured a sponsored breakfast and lunch.

The tractor convoy, which ultimately stretched about 2km down the road as it made its way around Kairangi and Norwegian roads, was a sight to behold, Bruce said.

“Just seeing how it all came together made all the work worthwhile, I actually find it hard to put into words.”

By Jeremy Smith

Organisers of the inaugural Field Days 100 event held last week are calling it a success on all fronts after more than 100 tractors rolled up to take part.

“It was a perfect storm really, we couldn’t have written it any better,” organising committee spokesperson Bruce Wallis told the News on Monday.

The gathering - held on Mr Wallis’ Roto-oRangi property aside from a tractor convoy on the road - was the brainchild of its eightperson organising committee after Covid-19 out paid to the physical event a Mystery Creek.

previously moved away came back to be part of Field Days 100, Bruce said.

“Part of the convoy loop saw us go past Roto-Rangi School and as we did, all the kids stood on the tennis court and waved to the tractor drivers, who were grinning from ear to ear, it was just magic.”

One convoy participant, David Schnuriger, said the camaraderie on display was his big take away.

“It was a great community effort, we all had a lot of fun. Everyone knew everyone,

so having the opportunity to catch up with all the locals was quite cool.”

Mr Wallis hasn’t decided whether or not to repeat the event next year – when Fieldays is scheduled to return to Mystery Creek.

“I think the stars all aligned this year and, given what we’ve all been through, made it really special. It is a legend in its own right now and I don’t know if we could recreate it.”

NO PLANET B

THE AGE OF REASON

The reason for statues In my birth town in Yorkshire is a grandiose statue, strikingly golden in colour, depicting what appears to be almost a saint astride a lively horse.

Sitting – the statue that is – above a set of public toilets.

The relationship between that person depicted in the statue does not, to my knowledge, have any real link (other than a set of stairs descending beneath) to necessities with regard to deposing of bodily waste.

The statue is a lasting recognition, placed there in 1734, denoting the part played by the subject King William III – known locally in the town as King Billy.

His claim to fame (and thus a statue) was the part that he played in ensuring that the locality remained governed by Protestants to allay a fear that the earlier (and Catholic) King James II would not reign supreme under direction from Rome.

Putting aside this tilt against the ecumenical movement the discussion clearly took place at the time that King Billy concluded “‘e did good so we need to recognise him, not just for the present but for all posterity”.

Which brings me to the reason for statues, their worth and the extension of that worth as the years roll by.

Clearly the extremely sad and brutal treatment of a local criminal in Minneapolis (go and check on his lengthy law-breaking record) by the local police is, at the least, shocking.

That the iphone film recording the whole incident has been blasted throughout the world is testament that, these days, we should always be aware of the watchful eyes

By Peter Carr

of Big Brother.

And understandably the sorrowful incident has caused a world-wide reaction to the actions of the local police in that mid-Western city.

I am reliably informed that there are 360 different police forces in the USA and all have different and confusing training regimes.

All have elected (yes as in voting) police chiefs. And do not forget that the local court judge is also elected.

Given the poor attitude in this country to voting in local body elections (sometimes with good cause) can you imagine a party official running our local Cambridge police and they, having to go cap-in-hand, to a political party hack who would be sitting on the bench in the local courthouse?

So when the Mayor of a nearby town decides to remove the recognition of the alleged founder of the borough (even though he never visited) one has to ask the question as to whether a locally elected mayoral official has the right to meddle with history.

In reality the removal (and defacing) of statues has nothing to do with what happened in Minneapolis.

It has everything to do with a longdistance judgement of the people who felt, at the time, grateful for a statue’s subject for the good work they undertook be it martial, academic, political or cultural.

Far better to get on with making the area a better place to live in wherein one can hand over to following generations a recognition depicting pride and an optimistic future.

Benefits of the burbs Last weekend we finally finished moving into our new house, and from where I’m sitting right now I can see the lights inside the new and enormous APL factory just outside Cambridge, I can see the traffic hurrying in either direction on the new freeway, and I can see the lights up and down Victoria Road in and out of town.

Immediately surrounding our house though, is a swathe of green on three sides with encroaching suburbia on the far edges of all fields.

This is all recent development too; you don’t have to have lived around here for very long to remember the right side of the road from Cambridge to Hautapu being all farmland.

Of course, as a greenie, or at least a person with an environmental conscience, my initial reaction to the view from our house was one of dismay at the speed with which green is turning to grey.

But then I thought about it and I’m not sure that it is all bad. Here’s the rationale, along with a disclaimer against the chance that I am entirely wrong.

I have no empirical evidence or facts to back up my suggestions, but my chain of thought went like this: People have to live somewhere, and they have to do their shopping, and conduct their business, and relax.

For Cambridge we’re talking about a lot of people because it’s a popular place. So, we are swapping fields of grass for suburban development.

An area of land which is covered with grass is, from an environmental point of view, pretty neutral; it doesn’t contribute a lot, but then it doesn’t detract either - unless you get into the fiery debate about the effects

By Peter Matthews

of intensive animal farming which I do not propose to do here.

So once that land has been transformed into suburbia, is it going to contribute to the planet in a positive way or is it going to detract from the planet by consuming resources and requiring waste treatment and transport infrastructure etc…?

Here’s where a difference can be made, not only by the planners and developers, but by the people who live in these new suburbs.

Of course, we should look to central and local government for direction, for sustainable choices, extensive planting in public places, efficient and fiscally viable public transport systems.

By and large they are not doing too badly on that score, but this is where the individual can make a positive difference: Plant more shrubs and trees and have smaller lawns, reduce the amount of household rubbish going to landfill, put solar panels on your roof, drive an electric or hybrid car, recycle and re-use more and throw away less, get the dryer fixed instead of buying a new one.

PLANET The suburbs ONLY are coming - I can see them from my office window like rain across a lake. But who knows? The new suburbs could just be better for the planet than the green fields they are replacing.

OPINION

Looking to the future The new normal is just getting started at Alert Level 1 as I sit to write this column.

Our communities have made sacrifices as part of a national team of five million and I am immensely proud of the common sense, common kindness and shared resolve Waikato residents have shown.

As we’ve gone down the levels, we have seen a lot more activity – card spending is up, traffic levels are increasing – and, if you don’t look too closely, it looks like we’re just about recovered.

Our economists say some of this activity is catch up from lockdown and much of it will have been made possible through the Government’s wage subsidy. That means we can’t afford to get ahead of ourselves.

Businesses – big and small – are continuing to close and jobs are being lost, and the current Government supports can’t go on forever.

So, what are we doing for our communities?

Waikato Regional Council has put in a bid for around $120 million of Government funding for shovel ready projects that could bring more than 1000 short and long-term jobs.

We’ve seen the Government invest significantly in the Waikato, with a $16.8 million grant from the Provincial Growth Fund for a roads package to activate the Ruakura inland port and $19.95 million for Coromandel’s Sugarloaf Wharf. It’s great to see, and I remain optimistic of still more grants for our region, including for our big-ticket proposals.

And this month we had the first meeting of the Waikato Plan Leadership Group, which has been reset and reinvigorated in light of COVID-19. We are very fortunate to have at the helm Margaret Wilson (DCNZM), a New Zealand academic and former politician with an extensive public service career.

As a 21-strong group from local and

central government, iwi, community and business, we’ll be using our connections to maximise resources and achieve greater social outcomes for Waikato people.

I am confident our region is well-positioned to recover from the effects of COVID-19. The unique circum-stances have called for a unique response from Waikato Regional Council, and this coming year’s annual plan is anything but business as usual.

We took swift action, pivoting decisively away from planned increases set out in our 20182028 Long Term Plan to deliver a trailblazing net zero per cent rates increase this year.

Alongside a new provision of $400,000 for rates relief to support those ratepayers facing financial hardship, this budget is seen as the most direct way to support residents in the short term.

I make no secret of my passion for public transport, and there’s plenty to be excited about right now. Big timetable and route improvements on the bus network have just rolled out.

Most exciting, though, is the muchanticipated launch of the new contactless Bee Card in July. Passengers have waited years for the ability to top-up online, and regional council staff have been working hard with a consortium of nine councils to get to this point.

We’ve also set a tentative start date of early November for the launch of the new Waikato to Auckland passenger rail service.

There’s plenty of work to still be done –

by Waikato Regional Council and its project partners – to get to the finish line, but we are driving hard to deliver this renaissance for passenger rail in the Waikato.

Monumental changes call for grace…

By Murray Smith, Senior Leader, Bridges Church

The purgative fervour released in recent days around the globe and in Aotearoa New Zealand for the removal of ignominious statues and various monuments connecting us to aspects of our past deemed to be shameful, has resulted in many feeling flushed with victory…while others are increasingly unsettled about how far this might go.

Some have questioned if this is an attempt to revise history - but could it just be that tolerance for celebrating injustice and aspects of an inglorious past have reached a tipping point? (Literally.)

Some ‘memorials’ exist to restrain evil being repeated - whereas anything explicitly honouring or exonerating accounts of historical inhumanity or painful loss ought to be intolerable.

This isn’t exactly something new. As a pakeha school kid, learning the story of powerful Ngapuhi leader Hone Heke in 1844, chopping down the British flagpole at Kororareka (Russell) impacted me. Visiting the exact spot later made it real - especially equipped with a better understanding of the circumstances and frustration prompting Hone Heke to take this action. History offered through the lens of one point of view without a full disclosure of wider context inevitably creates jaundiced rhetoric.

Hone was known for his zeal for justice and looking after the interests of others. He was the first rangatira (chief) to sign Te Tiriti o Waitangi. He’d formed strong friendships with the missionaries and having persuasively advocated for signing an agreement with the British, he later along with many other Māori became disillusioned with government actions undermining rangatiratanga (authority of chiefs). His appeal to the Governor demanding a greater level of self-determination and freedom from British authority in Māori affairs

was ineffective. Thus, the symbol of British authority, the flagstaff was cut down…no less than four times. British troops discovered in the ensuing battle that broke out, the degree of passion motivating Hone Heke and his allies. ‘Peace’ was made but for the rest of his days Hone continued to promote fair and just treatment for his people.

Years ago living virtually under the shadow of One Tree Hill, I observed the contention over the huge pine atop Maungakiekie.

Being a non-indigenous species it symbolised colonialism and therefore deserved to go. A grievous wound that was inflicted ensured its demise after ‘talk fests’ failed to resolve differing views. Now we have No Tree Hill.

Hopefully we can do better with consultative processes that will go beyond token conferral to facilitate genuine listening, mutuality and understanding.

A couple of practices in the current push to eradicate symbols of the shackles of repressive colonialism might be useful.

Firstly, forgiveness can go a long way… A kaumatua told me of the pain local iwi felt after the construction of Lake Karapiro Dam in 1948. Flooding the Waikato River flowing at the bottom of the steep sided ravine, created the lake, unceremoniously destroying sacred tomo (ancient burial caves) without consultation or conferral. While deep pain resulted, he said the offence had been forgiven graciously. But was our lesson learned?

Secondly, empathy. Being able to patiently hear out one another’s viewpoints while caring enough to empathise with each other’s feelings will go a long way.

Waipā rider shows the way

Husqvarna rider Dylan Yearbury leads the way after the opening two rounds of the 2020 New Zealand Enduro Championships.

The 25-year-old builder from Cambridge shone as the series got off to a belated start last weekend with back-to-back events in the Wairarapa region.

Yearbury, on a new Husqvarna TE300i bike chalked up a win and a second. Fellow Waipā rider James Scott (Oparau) was also among the leading riders.

Record entries greeted organisers for both days of this high-profile dirt bike competition – round one near Masterton on Saturday and round two near Martinborough on Sunday.

It was the first major motorcycling event since restrictions were lifted after 10 weeks of sporting inactivity due to the Covid lockdown.

A revised schedule will squeeze the championships into a shortened calendar.

The compact series comprises four rounds over two weekends. Rounds three and four will be staged in the Santoft Forest, near Bulls, on July 11 and 12.

Kiwi international Yearbury won the Saturday event and followed Whanganui’s defending champion Seth Reardon, third on day one, home on Sunday.

“I am pretty happy with how my weekend went,” said Yearbury. “I was sort of surprised I went so well actually because I had been concussed while racing in the Grand National Cross-country Championships in the United States, just before the Covid lock-down here in New Zealand, and had only had one ride on the new bike for the first time last weekend.”

Other stand-out riders at the weekend included Raglan’s Jason Dickey, Helensville’s Tom Buxton, Palmerston North’s Paul Whibley, and Thames rider Jason Davis.

Suzuki series is revving up

By Andy McGechan

Dylan Yearbury in action.

New Zealand’s biggest stand-alone road-race series has become a global phenomenon and the remarkably-popular motorcycling competition looks set to go again in 2020.

With the Coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic wreaking havoc across the sporting world these past few months, the news this week that Suzuki New Zealand would ensure its now-iconic three-round Suzuki Series would light up the tarmac again this summer was greeted with yelps of delight from the motor-racing community.

And so, as riders shake off the cobwebs from their lockdown, the revs are already building for the start of the 2020 edition of the Suzuki Series, a competition that has grown in leaps and bounds since its inaugural running in 2008.

The 2020 Suzuki Series will kick off at Taupo on December 5, then heads to Manfeild a week later, on December 12, and finally wraps up on the public streets of Wanganui’s Cemetery Circuit on Boxing Day. The iconic street race event in Wanganui on December 26 will again serve as the spectacular finale and this year it will be the 68th running of the post-Christmas race meeting.

"It’s fantastic to have this continued support from Suzuki New Zealand for another two years, especially with the COVID-19 situation recently," said series organiser Alan ‘Flea’ Willacy.

"Although the borders may be closed for the Northern Hemisphere, we have had plenty of interest from Australia and, with the talent we have in New Zealand, there will still be plenty of great racing to see."

The 2020 race programme will start to take shape over the coming months and Willacy hopes to be able to reveal some names before the three-round series' first race at Bruce McLaren Motorsport Park, near Taupo, on Sunday, December 5.

Suzuki New Zealand's general manager of Motorcycle/ ATV/Marine Marketing, Simon Meade, said he was thrilled to continue to stand right behind the series.

"Coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic, people needed to know they could go racing again and we are happy to provide a platform for that.

Ambulance rides into town

By Jeremy Smith

The North Island’s third horse ambulance is on the road in Cambridge.

The ambulance - a specially equipped medical float, worth a combined total of about $130,000, and an accompanying ute to tow it - was gifted at a ceremony held at Cambridge Equine Hospital last week.

The initial idea for a national horse ambulance service first came about roughly eight years ago and was the brain-child of Otago equine veterinarian Dr Peter Gillespie and his colleague Dr Bill Bishop.

And since its subsequent establishment, the New Zealand Horse Ambulance Trust has worked closely with New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing, Harness Racing New Zealand and the New Zealand Equine

Veterinary Association to bring the vision to life.

There are now a total of six horse ambulances in New Zealand - two more in the North Island in Auckland and Matamata, and three others in the South Island.

Essentially, a horse ambulance is a stateof-the-art tool to assist horses injured while competing at race meetings and equestrian events., In Cambridge, NZHAT Trust Chair Martin Burns, who is also general manager of Racing and Equine Welfare for New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing, said the majority of the cost of the sixth horse ambulance was funded by a significant grant from the New Zealand Community Trust.

It was also made possible through grants from multiple organisations which are

major sponsors of the trust - including Rodmor Trust, Vosper Law, Cambridge Stud, Cambridge Equine Hospital, Valachi Downs and others.

“Without sizeable grants from the New Zealand Community Trust and One Foundation and the support of our national equine welfare partners, the establishment of the horse ambulance fleet would simply not have happened,” Burns said.

Cambridge Jockey Club CEO Mark FraserCampin said the ambulance was a great asset which could be used across the entire Cambridge racing industry - not just at the jockey club.

The ambulance has already attended a Thursday night race meeting at Cambridge Raceway.

“We place a very high importance on

animal welfare,” Fraser-Campin said.

“And having the hose ambulance here will mean we have another tool at our disposal to ensure that continues to be our priority.”

Dr Gillespie described the delivery of the country’s sixth horse ambulance as incredibly satisfying, and Burns added he was grateful for the support the trust had been shown.

“The latest horse ambulance will help to provide better outcomes for New Zealand’s racehorses and sport horses,” he said.

When the horse ambulance was delivered to Cambridge Equine Hospital, all three of the North Island’s horse ambulances were briefly on show in the same location.

By the end of the year, Dr Gillespie expects a horse ambulance will be able to attend every race meeting in New Zealand.

Former Black Fern keeps girls onside

By Steph Bell-Jenkins

Former Black Fern Annaleah Bodle is on a mission to stop girls leaving rugby once they hit middle school.

“In Cambridge, rugby teams are mixed right up until high school, and we get a lot of girls dropping out in year 7 and 8 because the boys tend to get bigger and more aggressive at that age,” she said.

“Also, there are not a lot of other girls in the team, which can be a bit isolating.”

Bodle (née Rush), who graduated from the University of Otago with a Bachelor of Physical Education and a teaching diploma in 2000, played for the Black Ferns from 19962002.

Now, in between running a farm and wedding venue at Te Miro with her husband Dan and raising three children, she coaches Cambridge High School’s 1st XV girls’ rugby and sevens teams.

Last year, in an attempt to bridge the gap between primary and high school rugby, she also created a 10-week rugby coaching module for year 7 and 8 girls, aimed at retaining existing players and attracting new ones.

“My husband looks at me sideways

sometimes,” she said of her hectic schedule.

“But it’s worth it, because seeing these girls develop is just awesome. I love seeing their faces. I love seeing them look powerful and just the positivity of them when they know they can do something right, or achieve something they didn’t think they could.

Those are the moments I coach for.”

She is passionate about getting more girls involved in the sport because she got so much out of it herself.

“I just loved to be able to express myself out on the field, physically and aggressively, and the competitiveness,” she said. “It kind of made me feel as though I could do anything.”

She would love to see a local girls’ only competition developed for year 7 and 8 players.

“Morrinsville, Matamata, Cambridge and Tokoroa need girls’ teams, and they need to be playing weekly on Saturdays,” she said.

“Last year, out of the 34 girls I coached in the year 7 and 8 module, only four of them played with the boys because it just wasn’t an attractive environment for them. There are girls out there that want to play, but you need to give them their own competition.”

The year 7 and 8 coaching module kicks off on June 25 and is open to anyone in that

Chiefs back home Rugby fans will return to Waikato Stadium on Saturday for the first time since the Covid lockdown.

The Investec Super Rugby Aotearoa match between the Gallagher Chiefs and the Blues will be a significant one for Hamilton’s FMG Stadium Waikato.

The game, kicking off at 7.05pm, is the first of four in the competition scheduled for Hamilton.

Hamilton City Council spokesperson Sean Murray said initiatives for those games included the introduction of more cleaners and sanitising stations around the stadium and contact tracing procedures at each gate.

Fans will be able to buy food using a contactless payment system, but “cash out” facilities have been removed.

FMG Stadium Waikato Venue Manager Ben Slatter said customers should use Paywave as their primary method of payment.

“Visit the Cambridge Junior Rugby Facebook page to get your girls signed up,” Bodle said.

Optic implant for Te Akau Shark Trans-Tasman Group One winner Te Akau Shark’s return to training has been delayed due to impending surgery on a rare eye condition.

The popular galloper (pictured right) has been spelling in New South Wales after finishing fifth in the Gr.1 Queen Elizabeth Stakes (2000m) at the end of a fruitful campaign that netted Group One victories in both the Waikato Sprint (1400m) and Chipping Norton Stakes (1600m) “Whilst spelling, we further investigated an eye irritation of Te Akau Shark’s that we have managed successfully,” Te Akau Racing Principal David Ellis CNZM said.

“Expert international equine eye surgeons, together with our Sydney veterinary team, have decided it is in Te Akau Shark’s best future racing interests to undergo an optic implant surgery.

“His issue is a rare one and the procedure has been scheduled for this week.”

“Obviously this is a disappointing setback but it is necessary that we operate now to ensure a viable future racing career for this wonderful athlete.

THURSDAY JUNE 18, 2020

Reds set to get season underway Cambridge’s Reds return to Northern League football this weekend after their unexpected break of nine months forced by the COVID-19 pandemic.

With the country now at Alert Level 1, community sport has resumed and Cambridge Football Club has started its delayed season in style.

Last weekend, more than 400 boys and girls kicked off their football season and the club’s senior and youth teams went through their first weekend undefeated.

This weekend, the club’s first team heads to Hamilton’s Claudelands Rovers for the opening game of the Lotto NRFL second division.

The youthful Cambridge team were in contention for promotion for much of last season and, under coach Paul Richardson again, are aiming to challenge for the title this year.

The lockdown interrupted preparation for the season but the Reds have signed a few new players and retained the core of their previous squad,

including top goalscorer Joshua Clarkin.

The Reds kick off at 3pm at Claudelands’ Galloway Park ground, while the two clubs’ reserves teams play at 12.30pm.

Last weekend, Cambridge’s senior and youth teams won five and drew two of their seven fixtures.

In the WaiBOP Championship, Cambridge’s third team won 4-1 at Claudelands Rovers.

Skipper Adam Brady, who won Cambridge’s Golden

Boot award last year, scored twice while the other goals came from Miguel Peterle, playing his first federation league game since badly breaking his leg in June 2018.

Player of the Day was goalkeeper Sam Bax who made an outstanding double save in the second half to tilt the game’s momentum the way of Cambridge.

The main game at John Kerkhof Park saw Cambridge beat Waikato Unicol 11-2 in the Waikato Division 2.

Forward Peter Buesnel, returning to Cambridge after two seasons at Te Awamutu, scored a double hat-trick .

Other goals were scored

by Thomas Rea, Mason Woodall, Zak Petropoulos, Cullen Tappin and Theo Petropoulos.

Theo Petropoulos was

meant to be playing his football in Australia this season but he returned home ahead of the border closures and is now a Cambridge player until he can cross the Tasman again.

In Waikato Division 5, Cambridge’s two teams both earned draws.

The D1 team drew 6-6 with Tokoroa, with goals from Jamie Coomber (who has rejoined Cambridge after returning from the United Kingdom), Ben Ward (2), Nick Sickelmore (2) and Mariano Castellon.

The D2 team shared a 1-1 draw with Northern United, with the Cambridge goal scored by Patrick Espin who is better known as a goalkeeper but enjoyed a rare outfield outing.

On Sunday, Cambridge’s women’s team came from

behind to win their opening match in the Waikato Women’s Division 2.

They fell behind to visitors Thames in the 29th minute before new captain Steph Upton levelled five minutes later.

The teams were evenly matched but Olivia Sutherland broke the deadlock in the 78th minute to earn the win for Cambridge.

The Hill Homes Player of the Day was Upton for her leadership and vital goal.

Cambridge’s two youth teams both won in their Waikato/Bay of Plenty competitons.

The U-14s easily beat Melville United’s U-16 girls 7-0 with goals from Blake Allision, Noah Cody, Lucah de Roo, William Leyland and Jack Beaumont who scored a hat-trick.

Oliver Lee demonstrates his dribbling skills.

Three Good Reasons to Plant a Tree this Winter 1. It’s a special way to celebrate getting to Covid Alert Level 1.

2. It’s a statement that we need a Green Recovery Programme.

3. June 5 was Arbor Day but it was cancelled in most places this year as we were still at Level 2.

The first Arbor Day in New Zealand was held on July 3, 1890. People would get time off school and work to go out to plant a tree, usually an exotic tree of some kind.

The practice continued until the beginning of World War 1, after which it fell into abeyance. It was revived in 1934 and has continued since, although the date was changed to June 5 in the 1970s, and there has been a move to the planting of native trees.

So remember Arbor Day, and support our local nurseries by planting a tree in your own garden this winter. It may be for fruit (persimmon, plum, or pear), for flowers (jacaranda, magnolia, flowering cherries), for summer shade (silk tree, Japanese maple, gleditsia), or for autumn colour (one of the many maples such as Acer rubrum ‘Autumn Glory’).

If you would prefer a New Zealand native tree, titoki with their shiny leaves are stunning, kowhai will attract the tui, and kanuka with its attractive bark and masses of tiny white flowers is greatly under-rated as a garden tree. Dig a hole for your tree at least twice as big as the plant bag, be sure to plant the base of the trunk at the same level as the ground, neither higher nor lower, and support your tree as shown, with two strong stakes for a couple of years.

Taylor Phillipps wins the ball on the wing.

Aubron scores first New Zealand win Frenchman Benjamin Aubron can now add a New Zealand training victory to his burgeoning racing CV. The 28-year-old trainer has already tasted success in his homeland and Australia, and added New Zealand to the list when Xebec (pictured right) took out the Farmlands Handicap Trot (2700m) at Cambridge Raceway on Thursday.

The son of Orlando Vici began well from the 35m mark and under a patient drive from Zachary Butcher he was able to reel in his opposition and run away to a comfortable 3-1/2 length win over Leesa Castleton.

“It was great to win in another country,” Aubron said. “I have now won races in New Zealand, Australia, and France. It’s amazing.

“Zac drove him perfectly tonight.”

Xebec is the only horse Aubron trains, but he has given him plenty of highlights, beginning with his first training win in Australia at Maryborough in April last year.

He then went on to win the Gr.2 NSW Trotters Derby (2400m) and Gr.3 Vicbred Super Series 3YO Silver Trot (2240m) before finishing fourth in the Gr.1 Breeders Crown 3YO Trotting Colts & Geldings Final (2240m) and Gr.3 Greenlane Cup (2700m).

“He has been a very good horse to me,” Aubron said.

Aubron previously worked at Yabby Dam Farm in Victoria where farm principal Pat

Driscoll gave him the incentive to enter the training ranks.

“When I was at Yabby Dam Farm, working for Pat Driscoll, one day they were talking about what they were going to do with Xebec and he said ‘maybe we can give him a chance with Ben’ and I said yes,” Aubron said.

“I took out my trainer’s license and started training him.”

While Aubron experienced the highs of training a Group winner, his time in Australia came to an end earlier this year after his working visa expired and he is now working for John and Joshua Dickie.

Xebec had four previous starts in New Zealand for Aubron and he said he leaned on his employer for some advice after Xebec’s disappointing first-up run at Cambridge late last month.

“I was speaking with John and we changed his shoes and we jogged him this morning. He went really well tonight.”

While Aubron has enjoyed his time in New Zealand, a unique opportunity with trotting maestro Chris Lang is luring him back across the Tasman.

“I am making plans to go back to Australia and work for Chris Lang in the next few months,” Aubron said.

“Firstly I will work for him and if everything works out between us we may enter into a training partnership in the next

Hong Kong’s prize money increase Hong Kong racing will offer record prize money of HK$1.4 billion for the 2020/21 season, with the Gr.1 Hong Kong Sprint (1200m) and Hong Kong Derby (2000m) featuring prominently among the Hong Kong Jockey Club’s upward adjustments.

The Hong Kong Sprint will regain its position as the world’s most richly-endowed Group One turf sprint with a value this year of HK$22 million (NZ$4.4 million), an increase of HK$2 million (NZ$400,000).

Five other Group One races – Centenary Sprint Cup (1200m), Stewards’ Cup (1600m), Queen’s Silver Jubilee Cup (1400m), Hong Kong Gold Cup (2000m) and Champions & Chater Cup (2400m) – will receive HK$2 million increases, taking their value to HK$12 million (NZ$2.4 million).

The historic Hong Kong Derby is Hong Kong’s most important domestic contest and will be worth HK$24 million (NZ$4.8 million), a HK$4 million (NZ$800,000) increase on the 2020 renewal.

The 2000m contest is a key race each year, being a vital springboard for the next crop of Hong Kong’s stars, and regains its position as the second-richest Derby in the world, behind only Japan’s equivalent and ahead of the Kentucky Derby (2000m), the UAE Derby (1900m) and the original Derby (2400m) at Epsom.

The Hong Kong Derby is the final leg in the three-race Four-Year-Old Classic Series and the Club has also taken the decision to up prize money for first two legs: the Hong Kong Classic Mile (1600m)

and Hong Kong Classic Cup (1800m) will both be worth HK$12 million in 2021, an increase of HK$2 million to each race.

All Group Two and Group Three races will also rise in value. Group Two purses will increase by 5.9 percent from HK$4.25 million to HK$4.5 million, while the prize funds for Group Three races will rise by 7.7 percent from HK$3.25 million to HK$3.5 million.

Total prize money for the 2020/21 season’s 88 meetings at Sha Tin and Happy Valley is up by approximately 4.9% on the 2019/20 season. This year’s lucrative purse increases span all handicap races from Class 1 down to Class 5.

“At a time when prize money levels are being cut worldwide, the prize money increases announced today by the Hong Kong Jockey Club are very welcome news, and a testament to the strength, resilience and buoyancy of Hong Kong racing, even in these very difficult times,” Hong Kong Racehorse Owners Association President Mr. Chew Fook Aun said.

“Despite the issues associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and the uncertainty in world economies, we will continue our successful strategy of recent years to increase purse levels as necessary in order to reward and encourage our owners and to ensure Hong Kong’s elite races are attractive to overseas competitors,” Hong Kong Jockey Club Executive Director of Racing Andrew Harding said.

“This approach has been a core element in Hong Kong being able to maintain its position as a world leader in providing quality horseracing

and has enabled us to achieve between 20 and 26 horses in the World’s Best Racehorse Rankings for each of the past seven years.

“For next season, the Club has increased prize money to a record overall sum, including a significant injection across all Class 1 to Class 5 handicap races and Group Two and Group Three contests.

“We believe this will help to enhance competition and assist our owners in their attempts to purchase and import the best possible horses in a difficult economic climate.”

Harding noted the importance of ensuring Hong Kong’s elite races, including the Hong Kong Derby, continue to offer purse money which is among the best in the world.

“Hong Kong is already home to the world’s richest turf races at 2000 metres, a mile and 1400 metres, and, while our Group One prize money is strong, we have nonetheless identified a specific need to increase the prize funds for six of our Group One races, notably the Hong Kong Sprint, which regains its status as the world’s richest Group One turf sprint,” he said.

The Hong Kong Jockey Club has also introduced a new bonus for the International Jockeys’ Championship held at Happy Valley in December.

The new bonus scheme will offer prizes of HK$200,000 to the most successful trainer in the contest’s four races, HK$100,000 to the runner-up and HK$50,000 to the thirdplaced trainer, with points awarded in a similar fashion to the jockeys’ competition.

few years.

“It is a great opportunity. I am still learning, so it will be amazing.”

Such an opportunity is hard to pass up and Aubron said he has come a long way from a boy with no family involvement in racing.

“My Mum is a florist and my Dad has his own business building swimming pools back home,” he said.

“My sister was doing some showjumping and I went to the races with my Dad and I just fell in love with horse racing.

“After I finished school I started to work for some big stables back home. One day I said I wanted to go to Australia and now I am training horses. It’s been amazing, I am really happy with what I have done.”

While Aubron will head to Australia, he

is making plans to leave his pride and joy back in New Zealand to continue his racing career.

“I am looking for someone to train Xebec in New Zealand,” he said. “I am possibly thinking of sending him south, but I am not sure yet.

“It depends how he pulls up and how the racing industry goes in New Zealand.”

Aubron has enjoyed his time in Australasia and he said he has learnt a lot and been given plenty of opportunities.

“With horses you learn every day,” he said. “The racing is so different from Europe, but it is really good and I have got more opportunities over here. I have met some amazing people.

“I just love it.” – Joshua Smith, Harness News Desk

Let’s have a pyjama party!

For the Kids in Need Waikato!

At Cambridge Real Estate we are proud to give back to our community and are happy to announce that we have become one of the proud sponsors of Kids in Need Waikato.

To do our part, each team member at Cambridge Real Estate will be donating a brand new pair of children’s winter pyjamas to this very worthwhile cause. If other members of our community wish to do the same, we will be collecting the PJs at our office on 47 Alpha Street until the end of June.

Plus, for every pair donated, our company will contribute another!

All sizes are welcome, up to size 16 for both boys and girls.

As we head into winter, now is the perfect time to think about our most vulnerable community members and doing what we can to show that the Cambridge community stand together and support one another.

Call our team on 07 823 1945 or visit kidsinneed.org.nz for more information about this vital not-for-profit organisation.
