New way of lifeBY BETHANY ROLSTON

A Cambridge family is pavingthe way for a radical approach tohousing in the Waikato.

Brad White and Vicki Bullickhave a dream to build a co-housing neighbourhood — amodel of living gaining rapidpopularity in New Zealand.

They are hosting an eventnext Thursday night to generateinterest in the idea.

The modern theory of co-housing originated in Denmarkin the 1960s and has spread allover Europe and North America.

New Zealand’s first co-housing community, Earthsong,was set up in Ranui, West Auck-land, in 1995. Groups around thecountry are now building theirown.

In co-housing, peopletypically own their homes andjointly own the land and sharedfacilities.

Homes could include largehouses, flats, apartments or tinyhouses, with residents sharinggardens, communal living areas,laundry facilities and sparebedrooms.

A co-housing developmentcould have 12 to 35 dwellingshousing a diverse range of people— individuals, couples and famil-ies.

Each co-housing project isunique. They are designed andrun by the people who are a partof it.

Brad and Vicki say the bene-fits of co-housing are three-fold —reducing isolation, sharingresources and living affordably.An antidote to isolation

For Brad and Vicki, the mainattraction to co-housing is reduc-ing isolation and loneliness.

In New Zealand, about 14 percent of people aged 15 and oldersaid they felt lonely some, most orall of the time, according to the2016 Ministry of Social Develop-ment survey about social iso-lation.

Solo parents and people livingoutside of the family nucleuswere more likely to report feelinglonely than those with partners.

“We live in an isolated world,”

Vicki says. “I’m at home with thekids during the day while Brad isat work. Each day I do things inisolation — cooking, cleaning,looking after children — that myfriends are also doing in iso-lation. If we lived as neighbourswe could do it collectively. Wewould share resources and have alot more fun.”

Vicki says co-housing com-munities are designed to bringpeople together.

“The way these communitiesare built create opportunities forconnections and interactionswith people you might not norm-ally see on a daily basis,” Vickisays.

“You could bump into people

in the shared laundry or com-munity garden.”

Most co-housing communitieshave no fences separating theproperties and cars are parked tothe side of the neighbourhood,allowing for green space andshared areas.

Living in an intentional com-munity with diverse residentsgives children and adults newexperiences, Vicki says.

“Neighbours would bring dif-ferent skills.”

“Neither of us can play aninstrument — but we’ve gotfriends and family that can.Imagine being able to expose yourchild to learning something newfrom a person that lives nearby,

and to give experiences back toother people.”

In co-housing, it’s common forresidents to share some mealsand cooking responsibilities,with residents deciding the fre-quency.

Co-housing is also a solutionfor older people who live inisolation and want to be part of acommunity.

Brad’s parents, Kevin andYvonne White, are keen to jointhe community.

The couple, who are in their70s, are ready to downsize fromtheir three-bedroom house inHillcrest.

■ LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Bigotry calls for escape from NZI am writing an honestly felt opinion to

Bruce Rowe’s letter. I hate bigotry.Unfortunately, and in an historical act ofnear mind-bending irony, it now appearsthat a life-long dedication to these threewords mean that I was born on thecompletely wrong side of the Tasman Sea.

So for me, if only I had some way ofknowing who to call, I would be at the peakvanguard of selling every cubic centimetreof this septic pit of a nation to the very firstChinese billionaire to pick up the phone.

At this terrifying point everything butanything to be able to afford my rapid escapefrom a morally worthless country.

I am so very accursed by my citizenshipbecause New Zealand’s three decades ofThaler and Sunstein style nudged politicalsystem has precipitated in a nation that willno longer tolerate any unambiguouslyidentifier-blind point of view.

A political system that is now far tooafraid to even attempt opposing those who

fully believe in the right that their own self-imposed restrictive racial and culturalidentity is an unquestionable guarantee oftheir total unrestricted supreme rule com-pletely devoid of regard or even acknowledg-ment of any others’ pluralistic existence.

To a political system that itself nowembodies this attitude as an absolute ofnationhood. That there is now no regard,worth, merit and especially absolutely nopride whatsoever to be had in being forced toremain something so rotten, vile and dis-gusting as a damn, and indeed very muchdamned, New Zealander.

I grew up at a time when right demandednothing short of an overt active oppositionto the entire concept, let alone the prospect,of race based rule when it was as far away asSouth Africa. So now that that very samenauseous trash lies just one Wellingtondistant I have not come to appreciate itsnature one single grain more. That evenwith my Governments continually insisting

I must mindlessly and instantly apply mysubjugation to each and every obscenebigoted whim of a viciously racist minority.

It is heartbreaking to be horrificallybound to a worthless morally corruptcountry where the one thing that Parlia-ment has made certain of is that the singlegreatest achievement any New Zealandermay reach is the very instant that they areallowed to stand up and pledge theirallegiance to any other nation.

It is then also terrifying to admit that Ipossess no means of effecting this mosturgently needed escape. Still I can state thisirrevocable truth; that when it comes to myown New Zealand citizenship I as sure as allhell don’t want it any more.

What I do want is the ability to go and livesomewhere the Government won’t rate mysocietal worth by what colour skin I wasborn in.

GREG HARDIMANCambridge

No difference in our loveThank you Ian Stratford for your

letter of November 6 suggesting wehave adoption instead of abortion.

I totally agree with you. Weadopted our first baby but went on tohave three ‘home grown’ babies.

There was absolutely no differ-ence in the love we felt for themwhether adopted or born to us.

With today’s open adoptionwhere the birth parents have asmuch contact with the child andadoptive parents as they want to,there seems little reason to holdback from adoption.

Our two youngest grandchildrenhave Down's syndrome and might bethought of as a drain on the com-munity, but we would not swap

them with anyone.With so many jobs now being lost

due to work done by machines,maybe it is time for us to change ourideas and instead create jobs to dowith the welfare of people.

When I see trained teachersdoing playground duty in theirlunch hour, or supervising 10-year-old students at school crossings, thatis a job for somebody else.

It would be interesting to seewhat ideas our high school studentshave about job creation instead ofunemployment.

Who knows, the jobs they think ofcould be theirs in a few years time.

OLIVE REDMONDTe Awamutu

Adoption an optionIan Stratford, in his thought provoking letter

regarding the destruction of innocent and defencelessunborn babies, gives a healthy alternative, which isadoption.

There are many couples unable to conceive whowould dearly love to adopt a child.

Some years ago in the student newspaper of a majorMidwestern university a pro-abortion ad appeared.

In the next issue the following ad appeared — “Weare adoptive parents. Our children were given the gift oflife by men and women other than ourselves. Ourchildren live now because these women and men choselife instead of death. We can never comprehend thesuffering they endured. But we shall always be thankfulfor their courage and generosity. Their gift of life shallflourish.”

Co-housing for lifestyles

An example of co-housing — Earthsong founder Robin Allison at the co-housing neighbourhood in Ranui, Auckland, in 2014. Photo / Jason Oxenham

■ From page 1

Kevin, a retired elec-trician, and Yvonne, aretired nurse, look for-ward to sharing theirskills and giving back to acommunity.

They also like the ideaof reducing their carbonfootprint and being lookedout for — not looked after— by others.Sharing resources

In many co-housingmodels, residents shareresources, tools and somefacilities.

“Think about howmany lawnmowers andwashing machines are onyour street,” Brad says.

“Do we really need toeach have our own?”

Brad says Auckland co-housing communityEarthsong is a greatexample of sharingresources.

At Earthsong there are32 homes set in 1.3ha oforganic orchard andnative bush.

“The housing develop-ment has less of anenvironmental impactthan other developmentsof a similar size.”

He says the co-housingmodel would benefittowns like Cambridgewhich are struggling tocope with growth.

“In co-housing you canhave more people living ina smaller area becauseyou don’t have to factor inspace for driveways andgarages.

“Because of the way co-housing is developed,there is less of a strain oninfrastructure, particu-larly stormwater run-off.”Affordable living

Brad and Vicki say co-housing developments canbe built with a combina-tion of affordability andsustainability in mind.

“The houses could bedesigned to use less powerand catch their own rainwater,” Brad says.

“With them generallybeing smaller, overallbuild costs can be lower.”

There would be ways tomake them moreaffordable, one being forthe land to be owned by aCommunity Land Trust —a private, non-profitorganisation created toacquire and hold land forthe benefit of a commun-ity.

Brad says the biggest

hurdles are finding land,competing with develop-ers and overcoming coun-cil restrictions.

Brad and Vicki want tonormalise the idea of co-housing but admit it’s noteverybody’s cup of tea.

“You have to want tobe part of a communityand contribute to the run-ning of it.”

“We love where wecurrently live, and I’mgrateful to have a home,but I can see there arealternatives and thosereally appeal to me.

“Co-housing is not a‘one size fits all’ situationand there are multipleways to do it, like tinyhouse communities andpocket neighbourhoods.For us though, co-housingis the model that reallyresonates.”A new generation

Mark Southcombe,senior lecturer at VictoriaUniversity of Wellington’sSchool of Architecture,says co-housing is not anew idea.

“There is significantgrassroots interest in co-housing in New Zealand.It’s everywhere, from thetop of the country to thebottom.

“In New Zealand wehave papakainga — a typeof co-housing, and anexemplary model.”

“Papakainga are his-toric and contemporaryMaori housing communi-ties. The housing isusually marae based oncollectively-owned Maoriland.”

Mark says co-housing

is on the rise in NewZealand and is beingchampioned by a new gen-eration.

“It is spreading likewildfire.”

“The access to housingis no longer possible forsome people unless theyhave inherited money orhave parental support.

“Housing is thought ofdifferently from what itwas in the 1960s and 1970s.There’s a whole genera-tion that is used to flattingtogether and likes the ideaof sharing a house so thatthey can own it.

“There is huge interestfrom people — particu-larly younger people, butalso people coming up toretiring age.”

Mark, who has spentfive years researching co-housing, says it’s commonto face many hurdleswhen planning co-housing, but not to bediscouraged.

“The competition withdevelopers is really hard,but it’s by no means insur-mountable. The reason forthat is because of thecollective financialresources of a group ofpeople. The shared equitythey have enables them tocompete with developers.

“As the potentials of co-housing get increasinglyrecognised, there willcome a time in New Zea-land where social housingagencies start to seekpartnerships with co-housing groups, as occursall through Europe.”

Mark says the Kiwidream of owning your

own quarter-acre haschanged.

He says New Zea-landers need to be open todifferent land-ownershipmodels.

“There are so manyfantastic examples of com-munity land trusts andcooperatives all throughEurope.

“It’s common in manyplaces to maintain collec-tive ownership of land andprotect that asset forfuture generations. All thecentral land inAmsterdam is leased, forinstance. The communitygets the financial valueout of that, rather thanindividuals.”

Brad and Vicki, whoare part of the co-housinggroup Kirikiriroa Inten-tional Communities, arehosting an interest nightnext week in Hamilton.

A line-up of guestspeakers will talk abouthow co-housing and othermodels can be viable andaffordable housing devel-opments.

The event is supportedby Shama, a Hamiltoncharitable trust aiming tosupport the developmentof a multicultural NewZealand.

It is at Agora EventCentre, 13 Kent St, onThursday, November 22 at6pm. Tickets $10 fromconnectedaffordablelivin-g.eventbrite.co.nz or $15 atthe door. Refreshmentsand finger food provided.

Marking the end of war

New Zealand Light Armoured Vehicles roll through the main street of Cambridge as part of Sunday’s parade. Photo / Bethany Rolston

BY HUNTER CALDER

Re-enactment battles, mili-tary vehicles, weaponry andaircrafts converged on Cam-bridge to commemorate 100years since the end of WorldWar I.

And after a moment’s sil-ence — on the 11th hour on the11th day of November, 100years on — a roaring chorus of

jubilation was heard aroundthe district.

“The 11th hour of the 11thmonth is very significant,”Cambridge Armistice Commit-tee chairman Paul Watkinssaid.

“Armistice was signed thenin 1918 when the French andGermans came to an under-standing that all hostilityshould end.”

“It wasn’t so much a com-memoration but a celebration,people all over the world, thefour and a half year war hadended.

“That was celebrated at thetime with what was called theroaring chorus and that waseverybody making as muchnoise as possible, bangingthings together, tooting hornsand making as much noise in

as many ways as people could.”The commemorations were

part of a weekend of activities,with over 100 military vehicleson display and soldiers camp-ing out at Lake Karapiro.

Among them was GregThomas of Cambridge, whoparticipated in full replica uni-form.

“Yesterday we had LeQuesnoy battle, showing NewZealanders how the Kiwis liber-ated a town by climbing a wallfreeing the French and takingGerman prisoners,” Thomassaid.

“They may read it in a bookwhich could bore them to tears,maybe they just wouldn’t read itat all.

“But if they see it here, inaction, maybe we’ll have morepeople understanding and thencelebrating NZ history more.”

The event remembered notjust what happened in the pagesof the history books, but thespirit in which the war wasfought — a vital way to keepthose memories alive.

Electrical pioneer’s life honoured

The Mandeno family gathered at the Lloyd Mandeno Power Station. Photo / Supplied

Three generations of theMandeno family gathered in Tau-ranga last month to celebrate andcommemorate the life andachievements of Lloyd MandenoOBE.

Lloyd was a pioneer of electri-cal development and distributionin New Zealand. From 1915-1926 hewas based in Tauranga as aborough engineer.

During this time, he wasresponsible for greatly increasingthe capacity of the TaurangaBorough Council’s Omanawa Fallshydro-electric station, and hedesigned and supervised the con-struction of the McLaren Fallshydro scheme which was com-missioned in 1925.

While in Tauranga, Lloyddevised and patented the single-wire earth-return (SWER) systemof electrical reticulation which isnow in use in many parts of theworld as a means of distributingelectricity cheaply over long dis-tances.

Other examples of his geniusare his pioneering of 11kV distri-bution, the development of the firstelectric hot-water storage heaters,a peak load limiting device, hisearly adoption of high-pressurehot-water heating systems and offorced circulation for hot-waterheating, and the use of aluminiumconductors for low-voltage over-head lines.

Lloyd was born on October 3,1888 so it was fitting for the familyto hold an event close to his 130thbirthday.

“It was our collective desire toinvolve the three generations andto use this opportunity to visit sitesand places around the TaurangaDistrict where Lloyd practised his

skills,” says Richard Mandeno, oneof Lloyd’s 10 grandchildren.

The family celebrated the birth-day with a cake that was cut bythree of Lloyd’s descendants whosecollective age totalled 130 years.

The family visited the site ofpossibly the world’s first fullyelectric house in Devonport Rd,which was established by Lloyd,where he lived in Norris St, andthe Tauranga Museum’s collectionwhere an example of the world’sfirst electric hot water cylinderthat was invented by Lloyd isstored, along with other appliancesfrom the first electric show roomthat was located in Devonport Rd.

Lloyd also installed the originalhigh-pressure hot water boiler and

X-ray machine at the TaurangaHospital in 1921.

The family celebrated twith adinner at the Mount MaunganuiGolf Club where they heard fromDr Simon Taylor from the Univers-ity of Waikato, who has donesignificant research on Lloyd’sinventions and his contribution tothe electrification of the Bay ofPlenty.

David Reeve, who is the co-producer of the documentaryseries Powering New Zealand,then treated the gathering to apreview of a section in Episode IIIwhich covered Lloyd’s pioneeringwork.

In 1920, Lloyd conceptualisedwhat was to become the Kaimai

Power Scheme, which is nowowned and operated byTrustpower.

Lloyd traversed the region onfoot with his treasured pocketaneroid barometer and from thishe was able to record the waterlevels of the streams and riversthat are now linked through anetwork of tunnels and lakes toform the hydro power schemesthat exit into the Wairoa River.

The Kaimai Scheme nowincludes over 9km of tunnels andgenerates 168GWh per annum,powering about 21,000 houses.

To understand the magnitudeof Lloyd’s work, Trustpowerhosted the three generations on atour of the upper portion of the

Kaimai Power Scheme.The tour showcased

Trustpower’s range of hydro infra-structure, with particular focus onLake Mangonui which providesthe reservoir for water diversionsfrom the Omanawa, Ngatuhoa andOpuiaki catchment areas, and theLloyd Mandeno Forebay thatprovides a view of the twinpenstocks that convey water downto the Lloyd Mandeno PowerStation generators from a height of150m.

Lloyd chose these geographicalwater flow paths when he scopedthe scheme layout to utilise thiselevated position for maximumefficiency.

The final stop of the tour wasthe Lloyd Mandeno Power Stationthat was commissioned in 1972, ayear before Lloyd died. Thisstation is situated on the west bankof the Mangapapa River and hastwo Francis turbines and genera-tion units, each producing 8MW.The collected river flows thenpower the Lower Mangapapa(5.6MW) and Ruahihi (20MW)Trustpower stations downstream.

Richard thanked his cousinswho helped organise the weekend,plus guest speakers Fiona Kean,Max Avery, Simon Taylor andDavid Reeve.

“We must acknowledgeTrustpower for their efforts andorganisation on Sunday to allow usthe opportunity to understand ourgrandfather’s original vision 100years ago and the implementationof that vision for the good of theTauranga community.”

Agreement to protect onion industry

Biosecurity New Zealand andOnions New Zealand Inc havereached an agreement on funding

to prepare for future biosecurity re-sponses.

Both parties signed a Sector Readi-ness Operational Agreement last week.

“The agreement demonstrates com-mitment to working in a strong partner-ship to strengthen readiness for incur-sions of specific pests and diseases,” saysAndrew Spelman, Biosecurity New Zea-land’s acting director, biosecurity readi-ness.

“This is about both organisationspulling up their sleeves to improve

biosecurity readiness under the GIA(Government Industry Agreement).”

Under the agreement, Biosecurity NZand Onions New Zealand will jointlyfund readiness activities that will im-prove preparedness for incursions ofpests and diseases that are considered amajor concern to the onion industry.

Biosecurity NZ and Onions NewZealand Inc joined the GIA in 2014 and2015 respectively.

“Signing an operational agreementwill solidify the partnership that hasformed over the few last years andensure we are prepared for futurebiosecurity incursions,” says Andrew.

Chief executive officer of Onions NewZealand Michael Ahern says we see thisagreement as a sound initial investmentin risk management for our industryunder GIA.

“There is no doubt that the corner-stone of a good biosecurity strategy is awell-considered Industry/Governmentreadiness work plan.”

One of the tasks ahead is to draft areadiness plan for Delia antiqua (onionfly), a pest responsible for up to 90 percent of crop losses in temperate regionsoverseas.

This pest is not currently found inNew Zealand.

Encouraging results as bulkmilk testing nears final stageResults from the current nationwide

bulk milk testing for Mycoplasmabovis are encouraging, with

around three quarters of testing havingbeen completed, Ministry for PrimaryIndustries’ Mycoplasma bovis directorGeoff Gwyn says.

“So far, only three farms have beenconfirmed with Mycoplasma bovisthrough the milk testing,” he says.

“All three properties were alreadypart of our tracing programme and theyall have previously known links to thedisease. One of these properties wasunder surveillance and the other twowere about to go under surveillance.”

Under the testing programme, milk

samples from every New Zealand dairyfarm are being taken shortly aftercalving, when cows are most likely to beshedding the bacterium.

For each farm, the first sample wascollected around four weeks from thestart of milk supply. Samples are thencollected every two weeks, with a total ofsix samples from each farm.

To date, more than 51,000 of theapproximately 70,000 tests have beencompleted. Nearly all farms have hadthree rounds of testing and around 10,000farms have had four rounds. About 1500farms have completed all six rounds.

“The fact that we have confirmedMycoplasma bovis on only three farms,

and that all three of them were alreadyon our radar, is encouraging,” says Geoff.

“It reinforces our belief that we aredealing with a single strain ofMycoplasma bovis, based on the avail-able scientific evidence and our ownwork in the field.

“While this remains an extremelydifficult time for affected farmers, and westill have a lot of work to do, I’mconfident we are on the right path interms of tracking down the disease anderadicating it from New Zealand.”

Full results from the bulk milk testingare expected to be delivered to themajority of farmers in the North andSouth Islands in early December.

Sheep milk boosted by partnership

Food Waikato CEO Stuart Gordon Photo / Supplied

D ue to predictedgrowth in the sheepmilk industry, Food

Waikato has invested in anew company, Melody Dair-ies Ltd Partnership. Thisinvestment will boost thenutritional spray dryingcapacity at Waikato Inno-vation Park in Hamilton.

Melody Dairies’ fourinvestment partners willjointly finance and build asecond spray dryer at thepark, which will bemanaged by Food Waikato.

The four partners areNu-Mega Ingredients (NZ)Limited, a company ownedby Clover Corporation Ltd,with a 35 per cent stake inMelody Dairies; LandcorpFarming Limited, with a 35per cent in the partnership;Dairy NutraceuticalsLimited, with a 20 per centshare; and Food Waikato,also known as New ZealandFood Innovation Waikato,with a 10 per cent share.

Clover Corporation is anAustralian company listedon the Australian StockExchange. It is known for itsrange of patented micro-encapsulated products con-taining omega three oils,created through the spraydrying process, used in themanufacture of high-qualityinfant formula.

“We are delighted to

attract an investor of thiscalibre who has leading-edge, patent technology inthe specialist ingredientsarea,” said Food WaikatoCEO Stuart Gordon.

“We look forward to con-tinuing the strong relation-ship we already have with

Clover Corporation.”Clover Corporation have

been a customer of FoodWaikato since 2014, regu-larly utilising the first spraydryer built at the park.

Clover Corporation’sCEO and managing direc-tor, Peter Davey, said its

investment in Food Waikatowill help the company meetthe fast-growing demandfor its products from boththe infant formula and func-tional food markets. Thepartnership allows Cloveruse of the facility for spraydrying its products.

The investment fromother partners, Landcorpand Dairy NutraceuticalsLimited (DNL), is also sig-nificant for Food Waikato.

“It’s a mega coup for usas Landcorp implementtheir Pamu Farms of NewZealand brand strategy, inparticular their joint ven-ture with Spring Sheep MilkCompany,” said Stuart.

Pamu is the brand namefor the government State-Owned Enterprise (SOE)Landcorp Farming Limitedwhich owns a nationwideportfolio of farms includingsheep farms. They are part-ners in Spring Sheep MilkCompany, a boutiquenutrition company whichcreates and exports high-value branded nutritionfood products made fromsheep milk.

Stuart said that thesheep milk industry wasexpected to double in sizeby the year 2021, and a newspray dryer will be indemand.

“Dairy Nutraceuticals

Limited have just built astate-of-the-art blendingand packing plant in Auck-land, and they also lead theway in technology and inno-vation, so it’s an ideal part-nership.”

Established in 2016, DNLis a New Zealand-baseddairy processing andnutritional food manufac-turer with a focus on inno-vation and pioneering newproducts to local and globalmarkets.

The Food Waikato plantopened in May 2012. Theexisting open accessdevelopment dryer is run-ning at capacity, with 300days of production for theyear to June 2018, producing$51 million in export pro-duct for the year.

The existing dryer willcontinue to be available todevelop new businesses andproducts, with increasedcapacity available throughtransfer of some clients tothe new dryer, due to FoodWaikato’s 10 per centownership of capacity in it.

The new $50 millionindustrial spray dryer willbe built alongside theexisting dryer and will have2.4 times its capacity. It isprojected to deliver $129million in exports a year.

“This is an excitingmoment for the growth of

the sheep milk industry,and we are proud to be partof that growth,” said Stuart.

He said that sheep milkhad “three key points ofdifference” which was help-ing to drive its commercialand export appeal.

“There is emerging evi-dence of a lower environ-mental footprint than bov-ine dairy; there is evidencethat sheep’s milk is moreeasily digested than cow’smilk; and it has a greattaste,” said Stuart.

He was proud of thework that Food Waikatohad already achieved forthe industry.

“The Food Waikato planthas become a centre ofexcellence for the industry,and we have supportedmany companies with theirproduct development totake high-quality New Zea-land food innovations to aglobal market,” said Stuart.

The new dryer will bedesigned and built by Wai-kato Innovation Park tenantcompany Tetra Pak, andconstruction will begin inlate 2018.

Stuart said the spraydryer will be up and run-ning by December 2019.

Once completed it isexpected employment at theplant will grow from 17 to 35staff.

Come to the dark side

PHOTO / MELANIE JENKINSResene Gun Powder is a smoky back-drop with R. Quarter Atmosphere and afloor in R. Avalanche. Project by ClaudiaKozub. Photo / Melanie Jenkins

Dark colours can be a littleintimidating for homedecorators. Nobody wants tobe left with a gloomy,

depressing or unwelcoming room. Butto avoid dark colours completely is tomiss the opportunity to really injectpersonality and drama into a room.

The range of dark colours nowavailable from Resene offers much morethan merely black or charcoal. Colourslike Resene Jaguar or ReseneWoodsmoke are darks that come with anew twist, whether it’s an undertone ofblue, green or brown, that can makeyour room evocative, interesting andinviting.

Decorating with these dark, twistedcolours can be make entering a room asenticing as that smell of warm breadcoming out of the kitchen. The trick liesin layering with tones and textures andtrying bold contrasting colours withyour furnishings so the whole roomreally pops.

No room is too smallThe number one ‘rule’ that can be

broken is that you shouldn’t use darkcolours in small rooms. Not true. It maydepend on what you use the room for,and how it is lit but dark colours won’tautomatically make a small room feelclaustrophobic.

Colours such as Resene Elementactually have a cool base which makes

the walls recessive; more of a dramaticbackground to showcase yourfurnishings, rather than dominating thespace.

If you’re particularly nervous aboutgoing for a twisted dark shade on thewalls, think about trying the smallestroom — the bathroom — first. It’s a spacethat’s prime for experimenting as it’s nota centrepiece room, if you change yourmind it’s a small room to repaint and awhite toilet and hand basin will contrastperfectly with moody colours. Aninterestingly decorated bathroom willalways be a talking point for guests.

Summer is the timeto check the pool

Tall Poppies Landscape & Pool Centre owner Karyn McLaughlin and pool technician Robin Madsen.

If you own a swimming pool now is the time to haveit checked and maintained for summer — and pooltechnician Robin Madsen is just the man for the job.Robin has worked with water all his adult life —

first with Te Awamutu Borough then Waipa DistrictCouncils water departments and since 2006 as a pooltechnician.

After starting in Te Awamutu, then working for acouple of other Waikato businesses, he is back in TeAwamutu at Tall Poppies Landscape & Pool Centre.

Owner Karyn McLaughlin says it made sense tohave Robin on the staff because she was recommendinghim to everyone who asked anyway.

She says a lot of people remember when they had apool building and maintenance firm associated withTall Poppies and still come to her for maintenance aswell as pool supplies.

With no other pool technicians based in TeAwamutu it was an easy decision.

And Robin says he is still looking after a number ofloyal clients from throughout the region, includingCambridge, Hamilton, Otorohanga and Te Kuiti — aswell as Te Awamutu.

Robin maintains, services and upgrades all aspects ofswimming pools and spa pools.

He says at this time of year many people are turningtheir pools back on for summer, and find problems with

pumps, pipework and filters.Robin recommends people leave their pools going

over winter in winter mode, but says even then annualmaintenance is recommended for a great summer ofswimming.

This includes checking filtration and saltchlorinators.

Many pools have an automated chlorine systemwhich has a vital part that should be changed annually.

Robin adds that with water now metered it isimportant leaks are taken care of, because it can becomecostly.

Another part of his work is updating pool systemswith new and better sanitation systems, filters, pumpsand automatic or robotic pool cleaners.

He says it is a cost effective way of improving theexperience and enjoyment of owning a pool.

Robin also does on-site water testing and will valetyour pool — even bringing that green pool back to itssparkling best.

Tall Poppies pool services are available to clientsthroughout the Waikato — call in to the centre at 1376Park Road, Te Awamutu where there is also a largerange of landscape and garden gifts available, plus a fullrange of pool supplies in stock and an instore watertesting service — or call 871 3605 or Robin directly on022 174 5092.

Powering New Zealanddoco to premiere here

Episode three of thePowering New Zealanddocumentary seriespremieres this week in TeAwamutu and features TeAwamutu Walk of Fameinductee Lloyd Mandeno.

The series looks at thehistory of the New Zealandelectricity industry cover-ing some of the greatpioneers and their worldleading projects.

Episode three is titledThe People Want More as itcovers the period over themid-20th century whereelectricity demandincreased dramatically aspeople realised how muchdifference it could make totheir lives; and when somany more appliances be-came available.

This episode covers BillGallagher and theGallagher family whopioneered the electricfence that made such adifference to farmingaround the world, and whostill lead an internationalcommercial success story.

Bill Latta is alsocovered, who was an in-spirational engineer whodeveloped a plan for sup-plying the rapidly increas-ing demand for electricityin the North Island byrecommending two worldsignificant projects. Theworld’s first practical geo-thermal power station atWairakei and the largestand most advanced trans-

mission project in theworld in the 1960’s.

But the star opens thedocumentary — LloydMandeno — who madesuch a difference to boththe use of electricity andalso the distribution of it.

As inventive as ThomasEdison, episode threefocuses on, arguably,Lloyd’s two greatestinventions; the world’sfirst on-demand storagewater cylinder and theSingle Wire Earth Returndistribution system.

The SWER system, orMandeno’s clothesline,was cheap enough to buildpowerlines to remote ruralcommunities all over theworld (and especially NewZealand) who otherwisewould not have got elec-tricity when they did.

Lloyd was born andraised on a farm atRangiaowhia. TheMandeno family have along history with the re-gion and many of the fam-ily still live around TeAwamutu.

Powering New Zealandis the project ofWhiteboard Energyfounders David Reeve andStephen Batstone.Educators and consultantsto the electricity industry,David and Stephen havediscovered times in NewZealand’s history when itbuilt the largest and firstin the Southern Hemi-

sphere and often the world,but so few of the projectsand the championengineers have been heardof.

Determined to elevatethese stories and recogniseNew Zealand’s success, thepair have done agrassroots, crash course infilm production.

David Reeve has a closeconnection with LloydMandeno as his familylived for many years in afarm cottage only a fewkilometres from theMandeno family farm.Raised in Kihikihi and TeAwamutu, David is pre-senting episode three at aspecial showing at the TeAwamutu Regent Cinemaon Thursday from 4.30pm.

This will be one of thefirst showings of the epi-sode, launched the day be-fore at the New ZealandGeothermal Workshop atWairakei duringcelebrations of the 60thanniversary of theWairakei Power Station.

David thanked cinemaowner Allan Webb formaking the theatre avail-able. Simon Reynolds ofCreateVideo — a profes-sional video productionand editing company basedin Cambridge is the editorand co-producer.

Paying dividendsfor new breeders

A decision taken just on 18 months ago totry and establish themselves in the competi-tive world of thoroughbred breeding is aboutto pay some serious dividends for Cam-bridge couple Craig and Steph Dunphy.

Originally from King Country, and bothwith a farming background, the Dunphyshad spent 14 years in the dairy industry onfamily-owned properties in Southlandbefore deciding to return north with theirtwo children in 2015.

While still actively involved in managingtheir farms in the South Island, the Dunphyspurchased the Karapiro property formerlyknown as Darley Park, now rebrandedOakfield Farm. Set on 20ha of fertilegrassland, the Dunphys run a beef fatteningoperation along with a thriving farm-stayaccommodation business and now aboutique thoroughbred nursery.

An interest in thoroughbreds that wassparked by Craig Dunphy’s father, who hadco-owned useful sprinter Spring Easy whoran third in the 1988 Gr.1 Railway Handicap(1200m), went to a new level when the coupledecided they would begin to assemble asmall broodmare band.

“When we shifted back here from South-land it provided the opportunity to move in adifferent direction,” said Craig Dunphy.

“We are still heavily involved in the threefarms in Southland that we co-own with anuncle but we have long-term managers andstaff in place that run the operations on aday-to-day basis.

“It was always in the back of my mind toget involved in the breeding side of things,particularly having the set-up we’ve got, asthoroughbred breeding has always been myinterest.”

The decision was made to attend theannual New Zealand Bloodstock BroodmareSale in May last year to get the ball rolling.

“I went there basically just looking,” hesaid.

“I had a dozen or so highlighted in thecatalogue including a No Excuse Neededmare who had a good pedigree and was anice enough looking mare with a greatnature, so we bought her out of the WaikatoStud draft for $1000.

“She was also in foal to Atlante at thetime.”

Named Red Delicious, the mare is fromone of Waikato Stud’s best families with thebrilliant Courtza, the dam of outstandingsprinter and subsequently championstallion O’Reilly, featuring in her lineage.

Red Delicious duly produced a healthyAtlante filly to add to her earlier threeoffspring, two of whom who have sincebegun to excel on the track and add plenty ofvalue to the Dunphys’ initial investment.

The mare’s third foal is Pins geldingMadison County who stamped himself as athree year old of serious class with hisvictory in the Gr.2 Hawkes Bay Guineas(1400m) at Hastings last month. The win sawhim cement his favouritism for the Gr.1 AlBasti Equiworld Dubai New Zealand 2000Guineas (1600m) which he won at Riccartonon Saturday.

Older brother (Our) Pinnacle won one ofhis four New Zealand starts before headingto Singapore where he has won again and isnow being touted by his trainer, ex-pat kiwiStephen Gray, as a serious contender fornext year’s prestigious Singapore Derby(2000m).

“We couldn’t be more rapt with howthings have panned out so far with thismare,” he said.

“The plan was always to race the Atlantefilly with my parents, who are getting on abit now, so we will definitely be keeping her.

“She’s a lovely filly who has a bit of legabout her so we are hoping to have a bit offun with her before she goes into ourbroodmare band.

“Red Delicious is due to foal down toJakkalberry later this month and then shewill most likely go to Preferment who wehave a share in.

“It’s a good match for her.”Dunphy is keenly anticipating the match

although he could see the dark humour inthe situation when it was pointed out thateach of the stallions the mare has visited —O’Reilly, Pins, Atlante and Jakkalberry,have passed away in the last two years.

“Hopefully we are going to be able tobreak that trend at some stage,” he said.

Fresh face on podium

National age group mini motocrosschampion Jacob Beattie with histrophies. Photo / Supplied

Pirongia’s JacobBeattie was one of sev-eral fresh faces on thevarious podiums at the2018 New Zealand MiniMotocross Champion-ships in Porirua.

The eight year oldwon the 7-8 years’ 65ccclass with a dominantdisplay on debut atnationals, riding a KTM65. His placings over fiveraces were three winsand two seconds.

Beattie took out thechampionship, finishingeight points clear of hisnearest rival, with thethird place getteranother 13 points furtherback.

“Jacob is super proudof himself in his ownquiet way, but honestlythis kid just loves to racehis bike,” said hismother, Karen Beattie.

“It doesn’t seem tomatter to him if it’s thenationals or the localclub’s paddock race, as long as hegets to sit on his bike.”

The youngster is a cure kidsambassador. He has type 1 dia-betes and featured in the TeAwamutu Courier fundraisingfor Red Nose Day/Cure Kids lastmonth. He and a few mates tookRed Nose Day to motocross theweek before nationals.

“We had red noses on bikeseverywhere and raised justunder $500,” said Mrs Beattie.

“Jacob is a supporter ofBeyond Type 1. We have the#livebeyond on both his and hisbrother’s bikes.”

Beattie has been riding fortwo years as a member of the

North King Country MotorcycleClub. He is also a member ofTaupo and Bay of Plenty clubsover the winter period.

His sponsors are his mum anddad, Karen and Clint, along withPatterson O’Conner Motor-cycles, Te Awamutu Tyre Centreand CFX Seats.

Motocross is in the Beattiefamily blood — the kids arefollowing in the footsteps of theirfather Clinton who raced as akid. Jacob’s older brother Nateimpressed, placing second in thePro 65 class at the recent MX Festin Taupo and his sister Dannikarides a PW50 but is still tooyoung to race.

Cambridge motocross ridersWilliam and Harry Pluck aremaking a habit of dominatingtheir age groups at the NewZealand Mini Motocross Cham-pionships.

For the third year running,William (10) took out the 7-11year olds trail class and hisyounger brother Harry (6)retained his 6-8 year oldsnational trail class title.

Of the 200 riders fromWhangarei to Invercargill whocompeted in Porirua, the Pluckswere the only riders who double-headed as national championsfrom Christchurch last year.

William broke through for hisfirst national title as a Year 8rider at Pukekohe in 2016 andback up last year winning as aYear 9 rider.

The youngster’s formula forsuccess is simple.

“You have to work hard allyear . . . practise, practise, prac-tise, then hope everything comesright on the day,” he says.“Nationals is the best of the best(riders) and makes me want to beone.

“I love competing atnationals, the coolest thing isjust being there — evenwatching.”

Harry says he enjoys soakingup the atmosphere and havingfun at nationals.

“To become national cham-pion you have to work hard allyear then make sure you stay onyour bike come race day. You

have to finish to win it,” he says.The Plucks were not the only

brothers from Cambridge Prim-ary School to feature atnationals.

Jack and Van Hazelden, whotook up the sport only in Aprilthis year, continued theirmeteoric rise finishing second inthe 6-8 trail class and third in the4-5 trail class respectively.

Harry Pluck and JackHazelden had a right royal battleall weekend competing in thesame age group. It all came downto the last race with the twoclassmates even on points.

The Cambridge PrimarySchool quartet are coachedmotocross by Terry Pluck,

William and Harry’s father.The Pluck boys, along with

their older brother Oscar (13)have been racing for four years,collectively winning over 130trophies for mostly first placefinishes.

The boys are grateful for thesupport they receive from theCambridge and Te Awamutumotocross clubs, Craig andKeegan at the Cambridge Hondashop, major sponsor SteelOriginals, and the parents,grandparents, family and sup-porters who have cheered themalong the way. Jack and Van aresponsored by LeamingtonMeatpackers and the Te Awa-mutu Honda Shop.

Look out for these and other top Prodigysongs such as Breathe, Nasty, The Day Is MyEnemy, Voodoo People, Wild Frontier, Every-body In The Place and, of course, theanthemic Firestarter when they take thestage at Trusts Arena.

We are looking forward to bringing NoTourists live to New Zealand in 2019. Onceagain, time to bring the rukus! — Liam
