Emotional tripBY BETHANY ROLSTON

Sisters retrace grandpa’s stepsTwo Te Awamutu sisters are travelling to
Le Quesnoy, France, for centenarycommemorations of the town’s libera-tion.
It will be an emotional journey forKim Coltman and Sue Graham,who plan to discover more abouttheir grandpa, John Raymond(Ray) Cullen, who wasinvolved in the legendaryWorld War I battle.
They hope to retrace thesame steps their grandpatook after he was saved inan act of kindness 100years ago when woundedin the Mormal Forest ofLe Quesnoy.
Le Quesnoy had beenin German hands sincethe beginning of the war.
Ray, a farmer fromKihikihi, was one of theNew Zealand soldiersinvolved in the battle andsubsequent liberation ofthe town.
On November 4, 1918 hewas the sole survivor of aseven-man machine gun posthit by a German artillery shell.
“I was lying there on theground when a batch ofsurrendered Germans camethrough,” he later said in record-ings by family.
“Some fellow noticed that I wasstill alive… he lay down beside me— no mind we were enemiesbefore that — and said, ‘Can’t youmake it, mate?’”
The German officer — HeinrichHeld — made a stretcher andcarried Ray to the clearing stationwith the help of two other Germansoldiers.
Heinrich gave his wallet to Rayand stayed on to talk with him —he spoke perfect English —sharing their bitterness about thewar.
“I am the only one left to tell thetale,” Ray later said in lettershome.
After healing from 17 shrapnel
wound-s, Rayreturned toNew Zealand andraised two sons, Garthand David, on the family farmwith his wife Hilda.
Growing up, Sue and Kim,along with their siblings andcousins, treasured their Grandpa’swar stories.
Sue has told her Grandpa’sstory in a book and will write thesecond part after her trip to LeQuesnoy.
“Revisiting his trail will be anemotional journey,” Sue says. “Itwill be a very humbling trip filled
with a lot of reflection.”During their time in Le
Quesnoy the sisters will stay withlocal families and attend commem-orative events.
They are looking forward towatching a play by the BimberlotTheatre Group, in which theirgrandpa’s story will be re-told.
Their relative, Private HaydenCullen, a great-grandson of Ray,will also be visiting Le Quesnoy
with the New Zealand DefenceForce army band.
November is a big month forWaipa as Cambridge prepares tomark the centenary of the libera-tion its sister city and the signingof the Armistice that ended WorldWar I.

Airport showing a profitThings are looking up for
Waikato Regional Airport Ltd(WRAL), which has declaredits second consecutive divi-dend to its five council share-holders on the back ofimproved airport profitabilityand strong indications of con-tinued growth.
WRAL is a council-controlled organisation ownedby Waipa, Hamilton City,Otorohanga, Waikato andMatamata-Piako Districtcouncils.
The Group includes wholly-owned subsidiaries TitaniumPark Limited (TPL) and Ham-ilton & Waikato Tourism Ltd(HWT).
At its annual general meet-ing last week WRAL confirmeda total dividend of $250,000 willbe paid out to shareholdersbased on earnings from the2017/2018 year.
Last year was the first time
since 2012 that airport oper-ations — independent of thewider Group — made a profit.
Since 2016 WRAL hadreturned a profit largely basedon land development.
Overall WRAL reported astrong financial perform-ance, returning a group oper-ating surplus before revalu-ation gains and tax of $1million.
Operating revenue for theyear was $8.6 million, up $1million on the year prior.
This was primarily drivenby an 11 per cent growth inairport passenger numbersdriving increased revenuef r o m c o m m e r c i a l l a n dcharges, carparking andconcessions.
WRAL’s investment prop-erty portfolio also increasedin value by $1.6m followingan end-of-year valuation.
This was following a $3.3m
gain in the previous financialyear.
Land sales of $2.2m alsocontributed to the Group’stotal revenue. The HamiltonAirport Hotel and Confer-ence Centre was purchasedby WRAL in January 2018and planning is underway tosignificantly upgrade thefacilities during 2019.
HWT, a wholly-owned sub-sidiary of WRAL, reported asix per cent growth in visitorexpenditure and a 10 per centgrowth in business tourismevents over the past year.
Waikato is now the thirdlargest convention and busi-ness events destination inthe country in a regionalindustry estimated to beworth $2.6 billion.
During the year the WRALBoard confirmed a 10-yearstrategic plan aimed at grow-ing aeronautical revenue, de-
veloping and optimising landholdings, protecting the coreaviation business and con-tinuing to focus on regionaltourism volume and value.
Major capital projects forthe year included the com-pletion of six conference andmeeting rooms within theHamilton airport terminalbuilding and the initiation ofa carpark expansion to pro-vide 85 additional parks tomeet forecast passengergrowth.
There was also a $1.3mproject to upgrade fire ten-ders and rescue fire infra-structure.
The Group’s balance sheetremained strong with share-holder equity of $84.9m, up$2.2m on the previous year.This was largely because ofthe increased value of theGroup’s investment prop-erty.
Share your ideas for CambridgeWaipa District Council is launching a
major town planning exercise for Cam-bridge.
The council wants to refresh the townconcept plans for all towns and villages inWaipa over the next three years.
Cambridge’s most recent Town ConceptPlan was finalised in 2010.
The plan had strong support for retain-ing Cambridge’s ‘village feel’ while buildingon the town’s world-class sporting prowess.
Since then, the Cambridge section of theWaikato Expressway has been built, a newroundabout and town entrance constructed
and community amenities like the new poolcomplex and cycleways are underway.
Council’s strategic projects team leaderConan Magill said council was hoping foraspirational thinking from the Cambridgecommunity.
“We want people to be bold so we canharness their ideas and develop a bigpicture plan for public spaces.”
Council launched a website yesterdaywhich includes an interactive digital map-ping tool.
“We’re specifically looking for ideasaround connections, pedestrian areas,
natural heritage, social spaces and theCambridge Town Hall. It’s about creating abroader vision for what people want Cam-bridge to be.”
Council will hold a series of drop-insessions in Cambridge, starting from Octo-ber 11, and an online survey will help withthe collation of information.
The resulting new town concept plan forCambridge will be developed by March2019, with firm proposals confirmed mid-year.

BY BETHANY ROLSTON
After three months of intensefundraising and training, Imperi-ous Dance Company is jet-settingto Australia, and then to theNetherlands, to compete on theinternational stage.
Forty-two dancers and theirsupporters will fly from Aucklandto Sydney on Thursday morning.
Two soloists, one trio and fivedance crews — Country Kidz,Spoken, Resilient, Mega Crew andRustic — will compete at theWorld Supremacy Battlegrounds,a prestigious international streetdance competition.
The young dancers are from allaround the Waikato, including TeAwamutu and Cambridge.
Rustic will continue on andcompete in the 2018 Hip Hop UniteWorld Championships in Leiden,near Amsterdam.
Rustic is one of 12 New Zealanddance groups to qualify for theNetherlands competition, and theonly group selected from the Wai-kato.
Imperious Dance Companymanager Tulona Vincent says thedancers have been training non-stop in preparation for the compe-titions.
It will be the first time thedance company has competed out-side of Australasia.
“It’s exciting to see Te Awa-mutu being put on the map,”Tulona says.
“People will ask where we arefrom, and we’ll be proud to tellthem we’re from Te Awamutu.
“Competing internationallygives the dancers exposure to theworld of dance. It lets them seedifferent dancers’ styles andexpands their ability.
“They come back to New Zea-land hungry to try new things — itreally keeps them going.”
Qualifying to compete in bothcompetitions was the first achieve-ment, followed by the task offundraising for flights, food andaccommodation.
The dance company has beenfundraising since July, managingto raise $62,000 to subsidisedancers’ flights, accommodationand food.
Tulona says the hard work offundraising has taught the chil-dren important life lessons.
“The dancers all understand
that if you really want something,you have to work hard for it.”
She thanked the businesses andindividuals for generous sponsor-ship.
“It really would not be possibleto take this many children over-seas without the support from ourawesome community.”

Recreational centre plans finalisedBY BETHANY ROLSTON
Front elevation that will look over the rugby playing field. Graphic / Coresteel Buildings
Floor plan for Ohaupo’s Sports and Recreation Centre. Graphic / Coresteel Buildings
It has been met with mixedpublic opinion, but plans for thesports and recreation centre inOhaupo have been finalised andwork could start in August 2019.
Waipa District Council hasgranted resource consent and a$500,000 loan for the $1.64 millionproject. The new centre wouldreplace the existing centre onForkert Rd.
Final plans by constructioncompany Coresteel include afunction hall, kitchen, bar, club-room lounge, gym, changingrooms and shower facilities.
The project is led by a com-munity steering committee andhas copped some criticism bylocals.
During council’s 10-Year Planconsultation period, the centrereceived 500 submissions —more than any other projectbeing proposed.
Less than half (49 per cent) ofsubmitters supported the pro-ject, 30 per cent were against and21 per cent were unsure.
However, chairman of thesteering committee, David Kite,says the project has strong com-munity backing.
“Most people are happy aboutit,” he says.
“Those that aren’t happy areworried about the removal orsale of the memorial hall —which is purely a councildecision. Others are upset aboutthe old rec centre beingremoved.”
Council is currently assessingoptions for the future of the halland no decisions have been
made. Any potential changeswould be in consultation withthe community.
Some opposing residentsdisputed the targeted rate of $40for 30 years to be paid by 1034houses to cover the interest ofcouncil’s $500,000 loan.
A petition this year led byRukuhia residents Jim andMarie Snowball gathered signa-tures from 125 households whoseresidents said they wouldn’t use— so shouldn’t pay for — thefacility.
David welcomed the possi-bility for the targeted rate tochange, but said it was a councildecision.
Over the next year councilplans to investigate how the$500,000 is funded and wouldreview how rates are allocatedfor all recreation centres aroundthe district.
David said the new centrewould be good for Ohaupo, avillage which has seen theclosure of a bowling club and twochurches.
“The more facilities you havein a village, the more attractivethe place is to live,” he says.
“The new building is going tobe a local centre point used by
many different people.”If funding is secured, work on
the centre could start in August2019 and end in February 2020.
The steering committee hassecured more than half the fundsneeded from the following
donations: Waipa District Coun-cil loan ($500,000), the sale of theOhaupo Bowling Club ($200,000),Trust Waikato grant ($200,000)Pirongia Ward Community Com-mittee grant ($10,000), GrassRoots Trust grant ($22,000), fund-
raising events ($17,000) and localdonations ($12,000).
The committee has alsoapplied for funding from thelotteries grants and is due to hearthe outcome of the application inDecember.

A new vision for watersafety in the Waikato
‘The objective is to develop coordinated andcollaborative action plans to help reducedrowning deaths and injuries, and build aculture of safe enjoyment around water.’— WSNZ CEO JONTY MILLS
A group of communityleaders brought together byWater Safety New Zealand(WSNZ) are setting thevision for a new water safetystrategy for the Waikato.
WSNZ CEO Jonty Millssays every region in NewZealand faces uniquechallenges in drowning pre-vention and solutions needto be community-led withreal engagement atgrassroots.
“Despite all the effortsfrom everyone over the last10 years, the drowning tollisn’t coming down,” he says.“Something must change.We need a cultural shift inthe way we approach watersafety. We need communi-ties to get involved and leadthe change.”
Water safetystakeholders say ‘businessas usual’ will not achievethis. In 2017 Waikato had oneof the six highest drowningtolls in New Zealand, despitea reduction in 2016. In 2017,20 per cent of all riverdrownings in New Zealandwere in the Waikato.
“Addressing thesechallenges requires engage-ment with communityleaders who understand theissues,” Jonty says. Thisincludes engagement withiwi and Maori organisationsin the Waikato.
“Maori areoverrepresented in Waikatodrownings and over the pastdecade the Maori drowning
rate in the Waikato washigher than the nationalaverage.”
The governance group setup by WSNZ includes SportWaikato CEO MatthewCooper, Perry Group CEOSimon Perry, WaikatoTainui CEO Donna Flavell,Trust Waikato CEO DennisTurton, Water Safety NewZealand CEO Jonty Millsand Waikato Regional Coun-cil CEO Vaughan Payne.
The four main areas thestrategy will focus on arewater safety skills develop-ment, recreational boatingsafety, fresh water safetyand beach and ocean safety.
They have differentchallenges and stakeholders.
The final plan will betailored to the Waikato andidentify initiative and in-vestment priorities for eacharea.
Jonty says over the nexttwo to three years WSNZwill develop a series of re-gional water safety strate-gies across New Zealand bydirectly engaging with re-gional organisations.
“The objective is to de-velop coordinated and col-laborative action plans to
help reduce drowningdeaths and injuries, andbuild a culture of safe enjoy-ment around water,” hesays. The community isinvited to take part in dis-cussion forums.
- Sport Waikato, BrianPerry Sports House,Akoranga Drive, Hamilton:Thursday, October 25, 5pmto 7.30pm.
- Te Kuiti High Schoolpavilion, 21 Hospital Road:Friday, October 26, 5pm to7.30pm.
- Waikato District Coun-cil Ngaruawahia office, 15Galileo Street: Tuesday,October 30, 5pm — 7.30pm.
These will be where allpeople interested in watersafety can discuss in moredepth the challenges, issuesand opportunities in theWaikato.
Registration to attend isrequired by emailing SportWaikato [email protected] or calling Helen Hall-King on 07 858-5388.
The information collectedwill then be fed back to thegovernance group whichwill inform the developmentof the strategy.
Lifejacketsneed checking
New Zealand’s national SaferBoating Week, from October 12-19,has an important new message forboaties — check your lifejacketsbecause old lifejackets can fail.
“Many boaties’ lifejackets are tooold and will not help you float,” saysSafer Boating Forum chairwomanSharyn Forsyth.
Manufacturers say lifejacketsshould be replaced after up to 10years.
“Seawater and sun are tough onequipment, and wear and tear canshorten your lifejackets’ lifespan toless than 10 years,” Sharyn says.
“Worryingly, we know many Kiwiboaties are still relying on kapok-filled lifejackets that are 30 to 50years old.
“Kapok-filled lifejackets are dan-gerous, even if they look brand newand have been well looked after.”
Kapok is a fluffy plant fibre,similar to cotton. It has not been usedin lifejackets since the 1980s becauseit can absorb water and causewearers to sink. The cotton straps onthese old lifejackets are also a seriousrisk. They rot over time — even if alifejacket is not used.
Modern lifejackets of all typesshould be tested every time beforethey are worn. Simple tests to doevery time before you go on thewater:■ Pull the straps, hard. If any ofthem stretch or tear, do not use thelifejacket, dispose of it, and replace it■ Check for any existing tears orcuts in the straps. If there are any, donot use the lifejacket, dispose of it,and replace it■ Check if it floats

Service to remember lost babiesZoe Storer cradles a teddywhich holds the ashes ofher baby William, whodied 10 years ago.

It’s been 10 years sincethe passing of Waikatomother Zoe Storer’s sonand she plans to honourhis memory this BabyLoss Awareness Week.
Her son William diedat 37 weeks gestation onMay 15, 2008.
Zoe cradles a teddybear in her arms as shespeaks of William.
It is a possession shetreasures, bought inmemory of her baby andinside it holds his ashes.
“I had stopped feelingmovements and went tocheck with my midwife,so she put me on a moni-tor before going to thehospital to have a scan,”Zoe says.
It was at that scan thatshe found out Williamhad died.
After this devastatingnews, she was scheduledto be induced a few dayslater, but the day before itwas meant to happen shes t a r t e d h a v i n gc o n t r a c t i o n s w h i l etalking with the funeraldirector.
“We met the midwifeat the hospital at 1pm andI was fully dilated.
“Over two hours later Idelivered William. Oureldest son, who was aged4 at the time, was there tomeet William, along witht h e g r a n d p a r e n t s a swell.”
The family broughtWilliam home with themlater that evening and
began to grieve.It has been 10 years
since that day, but Zoestill remembers the lav-ender scented oil her mid-wife used to bath Williamthat day.
She thinks of himevery day, along with herhusband and their chil-dren.
Baby Loss AwarenessWeek, held annually fromO c t o b e r 9 - 1 5 ,commemorates losseslike Zoe’s.
She is a long-time vol-unteer for the Waikatoregion of Sands New Zea-land, an organisation thatsupports bereaved par-ents and families whohave experienced thedeath of a baby.
To commemorate BabyLoss Awareness Week,Sands Waikato will hold amemorial service andwalk on Sunday, October14 at 2pm, at the TaituaArboretum (meet at theRoman Ruins section) inTemple View, where fam-ilies can bring a paintedrock to hide in honour oftheir baby. If you don’thave access to rocks topaint, Sands Waikato willhave some pre-paintedrocks available on theday for people to hide.
Sands Waikato willalso be participating inthe global wave of light at6.30pm on Monday, Octo-ber 15 — the final day ofthe awareness week.
All are welcome to join
in at the Rose Gardens,Gate 2 of the HamiltonGardens, meet at the Gar-den Pavilion.
After the candle ser-vice, all are invited to a
shared supper and toplace flowers in the riverin honour of their babies.
New Zealand is thefirst country to kick offthe global wave of light
with every country light-ing candles at 7pm theirlocal time to ensure thelight continues on for 24hours around the globe inhonour of babies.
“I feel Baby LossAwareness Week makesit possible for everybodyto mention their babies,”Zoe says.
“You don’t need tobelong to a group to bepart of the events, thereare mothers who may notshare their babies withthe world at any othertime but can light acandle to honour theirchild,” she says.
As a part of SandsWaikato services, theyoffer support meetingsand Maggy’s Catering hassponsored them with theuse of their upstairsvenue space as a supportroom.
There is quite a bit ofwork to be done to tidy upthe space, so the charityis currently seeking helpwith painting, flooringand furniture to get thisroom up and running forbereaved families.
If you have experi-enced a loss and wouldlike to get in touch withSands Waikato, or you’dlike to offer help withtheir new support room,contact the charity on0800 570 033 or visitw w w . f a c e b o o k . c o m /SandsWaikato/

Farmers share vision ofto better environment
‘We lookforward to
working with theGovernment on
how on-farm treeplanting could bebetter supportedthrough the One
Billion Treesprogramme ...’TIM MACKLE
DairyNZ supports theGovernment’s plansto amend the National
Policy Statement for Fresh-water Management and in-troduce a new National En-vironmental Standard.
DairyNZ chief executiveTim Mackle says we shareMinister Parker’s vision forimproving New Zealand’swaterways and the need toaccelerate the good workthat is already underway inmany parts of the country.
“Under our DairyTomorrow strategy we com-mitted to leading efforts toimprove our waterways, andmuch of this involveschanges to how we care forour land and soil.”
Healthy soils increasefarm productivity and filterswater to help preventnutrients enteringwaterways.
“No farmer wants to seetheir soil damaged,” saysTim.
“At DairyNZ our scien-tists are working withfarmers in a number of ruralcommunities to find outwhat changes they canmake, especially over winter
when soil is most at risk ofdamage, to accelerate waterquality improvements.
“In Aparima River forinstance we are monitoringhow initiatives like targetedplanting at specific times ofthe year can improve soilcondition and lower watercontaminants.
“These are complex pro-jects because every regionand farm is different, andthey usually involve mul-tiple land uses, not justdairy,” says Tim.
“DairyNZ has significantresearch and trialsunderway across at riskcatchments to support thisvision and we are workingto provide our farmers andcommunities with practicaltools and enduringsolutions.
“Around the countrywe’re seeing increasingnumbers of farmers usingsolutions like standoff padsor removing stock from thepaddock when the soil ismost vulnerable tocompaction.
“Many farmers are alsorestoring wetlands andcarrying out extensive
planting to manage sedi-ment loss and erosion proneland.
“Our farmers have beenon this journey for a longtime and the evidence andinformation about bestfarming practice is continu-ally improving.
“We look forward toworking with the Govern-ment on how on-farm treeplanting could be bettersupported through the OneBillion Trees programme,and continued freshwaterinvestment in R&D fromGovernment.
“It’s important to re-member we can’t talk aboutjust one environmentalissue in isolation,” says Tim.
He says we are alsoheavily focused on reducingthe dairy sector’sgreenhouse gas emissionsand this work will directlyimprove the health of oursoil and waterways.
“We look forward toworking with these newadvisory groups announcedtoday and although thescientific environmental ex-pertise working in the dairysector isn’t directly included
in these groups, we lookforward to constructive en-gagement in the processahead.
“As a sector, we’verecognised for many yearsthat change is happening.
“We’ve acknowledgedthe impact dairy farminghas had on the land and itwill take time to fix some ofthe historical issues. But Iam proud of what we haveachieved so far and thecontinued vision we havefor healthy land and water,”says Tim.

Technology developed in Cambridge
ABS General Manager Jacqui Forsyth and CRV Ambreed breeding programme manager AaronParker using the embryo transfer biopsy technology. Photo / Supplied
For the first time in NewZealand new embryo trans-fer biopsy and genomic
selection technology is beingused to boost elite animal breed-ing for the dairy industry — andit was developed at CRVAmbreed’s production and logis-tics centre on the outskirts ofCambridge.
CRV Ambreed’s EmbryoTransfer (ET) programme pullstogether existing technology in anew way, to reduce the timetaken to produce elite high gen-etic merit bulls.
Animal Breeding Services(ABS) general manager, JacquiForsyth says the embryo trans-fer process for the most partworks like IVF for humans.
“Eggs are collected from thecow using ultrasound which arethen placed into a medium for 24hours to prepare them for ferti-lisation. The eggs are then fertil-ised in a petri dish to form anembryo,” she says.
The embryos are processedthrough complex screeningwhich involves using a laser tocut a hole in the embryo andextracting a portion of DNA.
From here, CRV Ambreeduses genomic capabilities toscreen the biopsied DNA todetermine the full genomic pro-file of the embryo including itssex and genetic merit.
CRV Ambreed’s breeding pro-gramme manager, Aaron Parker,says the ability to determine thesex of the embryo alone will be a
huge advantage for breeders.“Our breeders benefit from
this because they only implantfemale embryos back into theirherd to create elite milking andbreeding cows,” says Aaron.
“We take the high merit maleembryos for our breeding pro-gramme and select the best onesto produce bulls for our ProgenyTest programme, and ultimatelyoffer the best bulls to dairy
farmers for use when mating.”Aaron says a selective tool
like this has never been used in amainstream breeding pro-gramme in New Zealand.
The process will make CRV
Ambreed’s breeding efforts moreefficient and more sophisticated.
A total of 160 elite Friesian,Jersey and Crossbred cows andheifers have been selected fromaround the country by CRV’sbreeding team to use in theprogramme.
O n c e t h e e m b r y o s a r eselected, ABS will take thefemale embryos back to theindividual farms for implan-tation in selected cows.
Aaron says this “precisionbreeding” approach will enablethe industry to move forwardfaster towards having bettercows in the national herd.
“By using these tools togetherwe can drive genetic gain forprofitable, healthy and efficientcows much faster,” he says.
W i t h t h i s t e c h n o l o g y ,breeders will increase theirc h a n c e s t o p r o d u c e e l i t ereplacements and they’ll knowits genetic potential before it isborn.
“ T h e f a r m e r s w e a r epartnering with are excitedabout where we’re heading withthe advancements in our breed-ing programme, and the oppor-tunities it will create for theirown breeding operations.
“This will potentially have adramatic effect on the way ani-mal breeding is done in NewZealand,” he said.
“In 24 months it might evenenable CRV Ambreed to sell elitefemale embryos alongsidestraws of semen,” says Aaron.

Baring all for gardensGreen thumbs will be
baring their bums for NewZealand’s first NationalGardening Week NudeGardening Day on Saturday,October 20.
NZ Naturist Federationpresident Donna Miller saidthey made the decision tomove away from the WorldNaked Gardening Day, heldin the first week of May, asKiwi nudists were chillinglyunimpressed.
“No one wants to be nakedwhen temperatures plunge,”says Donna. “It might begreat in the Northern Hemi-sphere but New Zealand’sautumn temperatures arenot conducive to getting yourgear off. Moving our nudegardening day into NationalGardening Week was a muchbetter idea,”she says.
Fiona Arthur from Yatessaid National GardeningWeek this year was focusingon helping butterfliesflourish with a NationalSwan Plant planting day,also on October 20.
“It is great to havenaturists clubs on board thisyear helping boost butterflynumbers,” says Fiona.
“Butterflies, including themuch loved Monarch, arekey pollinators for our fruitand vegies.
“The Monarchcaterpillars in particularhave a ferocious appetite andplanting swan plants willhelp ensure they don’t runout of food so we’re askingeveryone to join in and plantone or two,” she says.
National Gardening Weekaims to foster a love ofgardening with a focus ongrowing not only plants butfriendships, good health,strong communities andcloser connections withnature.
“Whether it’s a few potson the balcony, a small patchor an extensive garden,everyone can experience thejoy of gardening,” saysFiona.
NZ Naturist Federation,which has recently cele-brated 60 years, has around1600 members and it isexpected a number of theregional naturist clubs will
be participating in theNational Swan Plant plant-ing day.
“We’re looking forward todoing our bit for butterfliesand we will also take theopportunity to get club gar-dens ready for Summer.
“Getting outside in thenude is a great experienceand if you don’t feel up to agroup gardening session, en-joy the privacy of your owngarden and soak up naturethere,” says Donna.
■ National Gardening Week isheld from October 15-22. Yateswants to help everyone enjoygardening and has giveaways to
celebrate the week.For our readers, Yates has aNational Gardening WeekStarter Hamper with everythingyou need to get gardening —valued at $100.

Trainer moves across TasmanBy COLIN THORSEN
Joe Waldron, with Ready To Romance, is soon to make the movefrom his current stables at Te Awamutu Racecourse to Victoria.
Photo / supplied
Talented Te Awamutu trainerJoe Waldron is set to relocate toVictoria at the end of the month.
The 26 year old has made afavourable impression in his 18months training in his own right,sending out seven winners fromhis small team, while enjoyinggood success rejuvenating oldertried gallopers.
Waldron, who has workedfull-time with horses since hewas 17, was in the New ZealandHigh Performance EventingSquad before switching his focusto thoroughbred racing.
He rode trackwork for Mur-ray Baker and Andrew Forsmanand took a full-time role astravelling foreman for the cham-pion trainers in 2015, lookingafter the likes of MongolianKhan, Turn Me Loose, Jon Snowand Bonneval.
“I’ve had a fantastic start tomy training career and beenfortunate to have strong supportfrom some great owners,”Waldron said.
“It has been hard work, butI’ve built up a great client baseand obviously a lot of luck isinvolved. We’ve been able to finda couple of cheap older horsesthat we’ve been able to patchtogether and get a few goodresults out of.”
Waldron will move intostables at Mornington and willgradually build up his team ofstaff and horses but has beendelighted with the response ofhis owners.
“Probably 90 per cent of thehorses in the stable are owned byMelbourne or Sydney-based
clients and a lot of them hadexpressed interest in havingtheir horses in work in Australiato take advantage of the betterprizemoney,” Waldron said.
“We’ve secured 40 boxes atMornington, which is about anhour out of Melbourne. It’s alovely stable block about 300mfrom the course which is aperfect location. We’ve got accessto a water walker and we’re only
10 minutes from the beach, so itwill give the horses plenty ofvariety in their training.”
Waldron said the proximity ofMornington to other prominentprovincial and metropolitancourses meant it was an idealbase.
“We looked at a few places,but the training facilities atMornington are top class and notbeing too far out of the city was
important,” Waldron said.The talented horseman will
have some quality stock to workwith as he joins the competitiveAustralian training ranks.
“Probably the headline actwill be Mission Hill, who we’vehad for a touch over six weeks,”Waldron said.
“He’s not far off a trial or ajump-out. He had a pretty busythree-year-old campaign, withthe Derby here and in Australia.The owners were keen to givehim a relatively light spring andaim towards Sydney in theautumn.
“We’ve picked out a race likethe Villiers (Gr.2, 1600m) thatcould be a good late spring orearly summer target and then wecan focus on the autumn.
“I’ll bring over PrincessDillon and if she continues on anupward spiral she could headtowards a race like the AdelaideCup (Gr.2, 3200m).
“Weather With You is alsocoming over. He will have a lightspring and aim towards a bigautumn.”
Waldron will also have pro-gressive four-year-old FlyingFeet come over at a later stage.
“To have a couple of horsesthat are probably up to city classis going to be a huge benefit tothe stable if we can get a result ortwo relatively early in the piece.”
Waldron said he was still inthe throes of organising his staff.
“There has actually beenquite a bit of interest from someyounger people here in NewZealand who are keen to experi-ence Australia, so hopefully oncewe’re set-up over there a few ofthem will come over,” he said.
While Waldron is notexpecting to have runners untilsummer, he said there was aprecursor of things to come.
“I’ve nominated a three-year-old filly called It’s The One Thingfor the VRC Oaks (Gr.1, 2500m).
“She’s still a maiden and itmight come around a bit toosoon, but she looks like a nicestaying type and if she can breakher maiden in New Zealand inthe next week or 10 days, thenshe might head over and have acrack at a couple of the three-year-old fillies races like theEthereal (Gr.3, 2000m) or theWakeful (Gr.2, 2000m) and see ifshe can earn a place in the Oaks.
“If she does, she will be thefirst of mine to get to the racesover there, but I don’t expect tohave many runners until sum-mer.
“At this stage the focus is ongetting a handful over there tostart off with and building a teamof staff. You’re only as good asthe team you’ve got around you.”
Waldron is looking forward tobeing reacquainted with the Aus-tralian racing scene.
“At one point during a12-month period I spent ninemonths in Australia for Murrayand Andrew, based in Sydney,the Gold Coast and in Mel-bourne. Whether it be jockeys,trainers or administrators,everyone is so professionalthere. It is no surprise thatracing there is going fromstrength to strength and this is agreat opportunity.
“I have a lot of friends andconnections in Australia, so I amsure there will be plenty of earsto chew for advice.”

The ability of the riders was testedearly on with crashes around 7km into the17.3km in all four Under 13 and Under 14races.
The wind also played its part inproducing some surprising results, withsome age group’s catching the race ahead,and most races ending in a bunch sprintfor the line up the 700m home stretch.
The under 13 boys’ road race resultedin an all Cambridge podium, FrankieWright (St Peter’s) winning from KaneFoster (St Peter’s) and Jack Whittall(Cambridge Middle School) who recordedthe same time as the winner.

Jack Carswell (St Peter’s) finishedthird at 12 seconds in the Under 16 boys’race won by Ryan MacLeod (Papanui).
Last year’s U17 girls’ winner McKenzieMilne (Waikato Diocesan) finished third,12 seconds back in the U20 girls’ race wonby Abigail Morton (Baradene).
The points race was held at Mike PeroMotorsport Park, Christchurch.
Under 20 girls’ road champion AbigailMorton (Baradene) backed up her win-
ning ways by taking the U20 girls’ pointsrace gold medal ahead of the WaikatoDiocesan pairing of McKenzie Milne andEva Parkinson.
Xander White of Cambridge High tookthe honours in the U20 boys’ points race,outsprinting Palmerston North Boys Highriders Madi Hartley-Brown and DylanSimpson, who were all part of a five manbreakaway that formed a third of the wayinto the 12 lap race.
Winners of the U17 and U14 girls’ roadraces, Maddi Douglas and Ruby Spring(Saint Kentigern) repeated their efforts byclaiming victory in the points races. Theyjoin Abigail Morton in the trio of riders tohave won both individual national titles
up for grabs.Prudence Fowler added gold to her
silver in the road race by winning the U16girls’ points race.
Hamish Banks (St Peter’s) won allthree sprints to convincingly take the U14boys’ points race title.
