Cambridge newsroom update
New to Cambridge? Child starting school? Looking for a change of environment for your child?
It’s been another flat-out week here in the newsroom, with plenty of things to keep us occupied. The issue with Leamington kids being ineligible for the bus seems to be showing no signs of abating, and the Ministry of Education is sticking to its guns around eligibility. I understand that they see the need to be consistent across the country – with eligibility only granted to kids enrolling at their closest school – however it seems daft that they are sticking with this despite the fact that it simply does not reflect the reality in this town. It’s going to be very interesting to see what happens going forward. We also celebrated Bastille Day on Saturday, with the town getting behind all things French. My fifth form French tells me that our front-page headline said: ‘Bastille Day very good’, but that was a long time ago (delicate cough) so hopefully I haven’t inadvertently annoyed any French people. We also have the inspirational story of local woman Eltje Malzbender in our sport section – someone who has fought back from the brink of death to compete in the 2018 UCI Para-cycling World Championships in Italy

Editor Hearty congratulations to the three students whose efforts have been rewarded with the winning of the peace prize. The theme of their project: ‘How can we help New Zealand to lead the way in creating a world where people learn to listen to, and respect the views of others and work out differences in a non-violent way?’ is so timely and appropriate. For the past 60 years we have seen what seems an endless series of wars, where military might has been resorted to bring about ‘regime change’ in countries in the Middle East, Africa and Asia resulting in death and destruction to hundreds of thousands of innocent people. The old policy of using brute force to impose one’s will on others is becoming more and more discredited. Nations must learn to work together to achieve common prosperity and resolve differences through peaceful negotiations. The recent rescue of the young Thai footballers trapped underground was a wonderful example of the miracles that can be achieved when nations set aside differences and work together to achieve a common goal.

next month. From being found unconscious on the side of the road in March 2016 to achieving at the top level of para-cycling, Eltje has a fantastic attitude that we can all take a note of, I reckon. Someone else with a fantastic attitude is Caroline Webbon, who is organising a group to walk the Tongariro Crossing in October. It’s impossible to talk to her without feeling motivated, and if you have ever wanted to do that iconic New Zealand walk, now’s your chance to do it with a whole bunch of fellow Cambridge people (see page 9 for details). We also welcomed a new baby into the Cambridge News family, with our owner David Mackenzie’s wife, Rebecca, giving birth to a wee boy, Ethan. Everyone is doing well, and Ethan appears to be smashing the cuteness scale already. Have a great week, everyone and stay warm.

Editor In response to Nigel Christian’s question about the Karapiro Stream gully (Letters to the editor, July 13) may I suggest a plausible
answer. As a result of the Taupo eruptions c.232-180a.d, the Waikato River was diverted from its course through the Hinuera gap, by massive ash and pumice deposition; causing it to flow from Piarere on its present course, carving out the Karapiro Gorge. The Karapiro stream, presumably similarly diverted, ran parallel to the river joining it where Cambridge now stands. About half way between Hydro Rd and Karapiro School, State Highway 1 runs along a bank of sand and gravel, only a few hundred metres wide. On the right is the lake, its surface level many metres above the stream bed on the left. My son, as a Scout, was in about 1980, co-opted as a runner for a Civil Defence exercise. The scenario was: An earthquake, withstood by the dam, had caused a breach in the bank severing SH1. A huge wall of water had surged down carrying all before it, scouring Carters Flat, the banks above Albert St, and Dominion Ave, and the Karapiro Stream Bridge. I wonder, have the results ever been made public? I’ve asked and never got any answers. I wonder how the new viaduct would fare. (Abridged) Brian Dunstan phone 827 4140 More letter page 5

Mobile traders hopping mad A proposed change in council bylaws which would affect mobile traders has come as something of a shock for the roadside businesses, some of which have become well-established in Cambridge. One of these businesses is the Fish Van, which has been permitted to park by Victoria Square for eight years now. The van’s owner, Jeff Rouse, is particularly upset that nobody from council has come to speak with him about the proposed change, which would see a ban placed on mobile traders within a radius of the CBD. “I have not seen anybody from council, no-one has been near me. I just renewed my licence to trade with council (on July 1),” Jeff said. Running the fish van from 9am to 5.15pm on Tuesdays and Fridays, Jeff reckons he gets between 250 - 300 customers daily turning up to buy fish, with more coming all the time. And the mobile trader’s customers are not pleased about this latest turn of events, either, with a petition amassing more than 600 signatures in just three days. Jeff said he has also been handing out submission forms, encouraging people to have their say with council. Also throwing his weight behind the mobile merchants is Cambridge Community Board member Roger Gordon, who has put in a submission to council in favour of letting them remain – in a limited capacity. Roger’s submission sought to change the draft bylaw from banning mobile traders on Victoria St from Wilson St to Queen St, which covers the town square, to restricting them on Victoria St from Wilson St to Alpha St, which doesn’t. Roger would like to see a section of Victoria St designated as a mobile traders’ facility, restricted to three bays, with each bay a suitable size to take a caravan such as the Fish Van. He also suggested that produce for sale be limited to food and beverages, which would count out businesses such as the vaping caravan, which has appeared by the square of late. Bryan Hudson, Manager – Road Corridor at Waipa District Council said the move to restrict the traders was based around safety concerns. “Mobile traders provide a great service to our towns, but we need to make sure they are operating in areas that are safe for both customers and road users. We’re proposing to restrict mobile traders from areas that are unsafe such as being too close to an intersection or near popular areas where parking spots are at a premium. “This stage is all about gaining feedback, so we want as much of this as possible to give to the mayor and councillors before they make their final decision,” Bryan explained. “We (council) got in touch with the owner of the Fish Van a couple of weeks ago with information about the consultation, and my understanding is he has also had a conversation with our Transportation Engineer who manages mobile trader permits,” he added. Consultation closes today, Friday, July 20.

No joy from Ministry on buses By Claire Castle
The Ministry of Education is standing behind its ruling that Year 9 and 10 students in Leamington are ineligible for the bus to Cambridge High School, because the closest school they could enrol in is Cambridge Middle School. Kim Shannon, Head Education Infrastructure Service at the Ministry of Education said: “At the beginning of this year we identified potential overloading issues on our Leamington service and as a result no new ineligible students were allowed to travel. However, there were six Year 9 students who were inadvertently allowed on the service. These students were given notice of one term that they would no longer be able to travel
on the service due to the risk of overloading and the serious safety issue that presents.” Two of those six students, however, received less than a term’s notice and so have been given an exemption and allowed to ride the bus for Term Three. “The Ministry has prioritised a review of the provision of School Transport Assistance in Cambridge. This is to ensure school transport assistance is provided to eligible students consistently and equitably as it is throughout the country,” she said. Kim said the upcoming review of School Transport Assistance provision in Cambridge is a routine, full review of Ministryprovided school transport services in the area. “In this case, we are currently in consultation with transport

providers. The next phase in August will be to consult with the schools and their Boards of Trustees with a view to finalising the plans by late September.” This review, however, is unlikely to change the situation for the Leamington students, as it will not be looking at changing the rules to make them eligible for the high school bus. “Our eligibility criteria are the same across the country, and the review underway in Cambridge will not affect these criteria,” Kim concluded. Not taking this lying down, concerned parents have started a Facebook page for people either directly affected now or likely to be in the future – Cambridge High School Bus Transport 2018 and Beyond – which attracted 77 members in its first 24 hours.

Something good happened here By Claire Castle
Cambridge author Nikki Crutchley is still pinching herself after her debut novel Nothing Bad Happens Here was selected as a finalist in the 2018 Ngaio Marsh Awards. Nikki’s novel was among 20 entrants in the Best First Novel category, making it into the final five books in the running. “I have to keep double-checking that it was true,” Nikki laughed. It was further validation that Nikki did the right thing self-publishing her book, which has sold more than 500 copies. “Two years ago, the manuscript was sitting on my laptop, rejected by two publishers…so just to get this far is awesome.” Nikki and her husband, Simon, will fly down to Christchurch for the awards ceremony on August 1 – where she will also join the other finalists in doing a

public reading of her work. “I just say ‘yes’ to everything and get nervous about it later,” she said. Meanwhile, Nikki is putting the finishing touches on her next novel – No one Can Hear You – which is currently with a proof reader before its release in September. It’s another crime thriller, but a stand alone novel from Nothing Bad Happens Here, and self-published again. And after that, readers can expect the return of Miller Hatcher, the protagonist from Nothing Bad Happens Here. Miller struck a chord with readers, and Nikki said it had been a nice surprise that there have been requests for a follow up. “There’s nothing better for an author to hear that people connect with a character and want more,” she added. Nikki was also grateful for the support of Paper Plus, both in Cambridge and Te Awamutu, who she said have been strong supporters of Nothing Bad Happens Here. The Ngaio Marsh Awards have been running since 2010, celebrating excellence in crime, mystery and thriller writing by New Zealand authors. As well as being available as a paperback from Paper Plus, Nothing Bad Happens Here is available as an eBook on Amazon. The awards are part of the WORD Christchurch Writers’ and Readers’ Festival, held every second year.
Waipa District Council has won national praise for its succcessful campaign to highlight the district’s heritage, including its role in the New Zealand Land Wars. Waipa beat six other councils on Monday to win the Local Government New Zealand (LGNZ) Fulton Hogan Excellence Award for its work in sharing and promoting Waipa’s history. This is the second time Waipa has been nationally recognised for its community engagement activities. In 2015, Waipa won LGNZ’s top award for community impact. Judges said Waipa’s work over the past year has generated an important community conversation which has already spread well beyond the district. There are now calls nationwide for a greater focus on New Zealand history and more interest than ever in Waipa-based heritage, including the district’s battle sites. Waipa District Council chief executive Garry Dyet said he was hugely proud of the work his staff had done across a range of heritage areas. He paid particular tribute to Waipa’s communciation and engagement manager Natalie Palmer who led the engagement work on behalf of the district. “The work that Natalie and her team have done, along with others in the organisation, has created a lot of important discussions at a time when council was thinking hard about its priorities. It gave everyone a real opportunity to reflect on our shared history and consider what that means for our district in the future,” Garry said. “Waipa has a huge heritage story to tell. This award endorses the council’s view that heritage is important and needs the same sort of Waipa’s communication and focus we give to other parts engagement manager, Natalie Palmer. of our business.”

FRIDAY JULY 20, 2018
Young leaders welcome refugees Twenty Kiwi teenagers from across the North Island, including one from Cambridge, have welcomed children from refugee backgrounds through a recent student-led holiday programme in Hamilton. The Refugee Orientation Centre (ROC) Trust partnered with Rimbrook Study Centre to create the leadershipbuilding opportunity for students which ran from Monday, July 9 – Friday, July 13. Students ranging from 15 to 18 years of age were invited to plan and execute the programme for refugee children from Colombia, Syria, Congo and Burma. Rimbrook Study Centre manager Vivian Keane says these opportunities are necessary to open the eyes of young people to what is happening in the world.
“We interview and select high schoolers from across the country to give them a chance to grow as student leaders. Since we started this volunteer programme we’ve had more than 100 student volunteers from places including Cambridge, Hamilton, Wellington, Whakatane, and Auckland,” Vivian said. According to Vivian, the programme is perfect for character development as it forces the students to take initiative, work as a team, and exercise compassion for the children; some who have become refugees as recently as within the past 3 months. “Waikato is one of the country’s seven resettlement cities and the refugee families who end up here have often experienced trauma. That’s why it’s important for us to give them as much support as we can on this side of
the world,” she said. The student volunteers were responsible for the week-long programme themed ‘Around the World.’ Despite the language barrier, the leaders and refugee children found common ground playing soccer, doing crafts, and showcasing cultural dances among other things. Tessa Winter, a 17-year-old student from Cambridge High school said the programme has been a unique and rewarding experience. “I’ve loved seeing the children from refugee backgrounds make new friends and feel more comfortable and confident as the week progresses,”
Tessa said. “I’ve been blown away by their athletic and creative talents and it’s been an honour to run this programme for them,” she added. ROC Trust and Rimbrook Study Centre have seen more than 200 children from refugee backgrounds attended the holiday programme since it was established in 2011. All quota refugees are given permanent resident status on entering New Zealand. To support these new permanent residents, ROC Trust helps refugee families in Hamilton integrate by providing advocacy and educational support.
Plastic Free July encouraging change Thousands of people across the country have been looking at their consumption of plastic over July, spurred into action by the pile of plastics piling up at waste facilities around New Zealand. Cambridge News has a Brew Keep Cup and a set of stainless steel straws to give away during July. To enter, just send your favourite plastic-saving tip to claire@cambridgenews.nz and the most innovative idea will win the prize. Editor’s decision is final, and no negotiations whatsoever will be entered into with anyone who thinks they should have won but didn’t.

Charter to capture town’s character By Viv Posselt
Public input is being sought in the crafting of a Cambridge Charter - a document intended to capture the ‘magic’ of the town and ensure its inclusion in future development plans. The move has been spearheaded by the Cambridge Community Board’s Cambridge Strategy Growth Committee, chaired by newlyretired Destination Cambridge CEO, Roger Gordon. Also on the committee are Cambridge Community Board (CCB) chairman Mike Pettit, CCB members Julie Epps and John Bishop, Vision Cambridge Group’s Steve Tritt, Cambridge Chamber of Commerce CEO Tania Witheford, and strategic consultant Dr Nick Marsh. Several of the committee members were involved in a 2015 initiative which sought to ‘future-fit’ Cambridge by seeking strategies that accommodated growth yet retained the town’s charm. Proposals put to a recent CCB meeting outlined a draft for the Cambridge Charter. It referenced nine points, which Roger said had been kept deliberately ‘vague’ so as to encourage input from the public.
“The Cambridge Charter will be owned by the community. It is important for people to realise that the nine points are simply a draft from which to start. We are urging people to send us their thoughts and ideas before our next committee meeting which is on August 20. “There may be things we have missed, or points better left out,” he said. “Either way, we don’t want it to be 101 commandments for Cambridge; rather it should be a reasonably succinct outline of what captures the essence of Cambridge, and what needs to be held up as a reference point for any future development.” The nine draft points relate to the town’s friendliness, its heritage and garden-type design, the tree-lined streets and a nod to its 1860 roots, its easy commute to Hamilton and Auckland, its equine and agricultural strengths; its strong educational advantages, and emerging dotcom relevance; and its sporting strengths. Roger said an existing town concept plan developed some years ago had been superceded by rapid growth. The Cambridge Charter now being looked at would take that concept forward … build into it a framework against which
future development would be referenced. “We believe that there is a magic that Cambridge has. It is something we are all proud of and that none of us would like to see disappear in the name of growth. We want the characteristics that make Cambridge special to be retained even as growth continues. “Over the last 18 months or so, this committee has put considerable thought into identifying the important facets that define Cambridge. Let’s see if we can capture them and
put the Cambridge Charter in place as a dynamic working document that will take us into the future. We will use it to establish metrics against which further development can be measured.” Roger said he hoped public feedback from the public would help identify points which people considered special about the town that could be woven into the Cambridge Charter. He urged people to send their thoughts through to either himself at rogergordon2017@ gmail.com, or Mike Pettit (mike.pettit@waipadc.govt.nz).
Roger Gordon, chairman of the Cambridge Strategy Growth Committee, is calling for public input into a Cambridge Charter document.

Mike gave an overview of upcoming developments in the town, in what was a frank discussion about the future of Cambridge.

Encouraging women into tech By Sophie Iremonger
An event in Auckland next week has been organised by Cambridge-based technology company Nyriad, along with She# (pronounced She Sharp), in an effort to give people – particularly young women – a taste of the computer programming field and encourage more women in the tech workforce. The local exascale software company runs a computer programming internship course locally, and often hires those who are successful, who become part of a team which writes and develops software and operating systems involved in hyperscale data storage – a leading edge technology developed right here in Cambridge. Generally, only one or two girls, if any, are involved in each intake, and only four of its five dozen computer programmers are women. “During each new intake of interns, we noticed that there are fewer females
than male,” said Nyriad’s Jessie Thu Le, one of the organisers of the event. “And then we heard of the She# group … and cooperated with them to make this event and encourage female intake. “We also want to provide an opportunity for attendees to learn more about Nyriad’s internship program and how to apply. … We are hoping to see at least 50 young students at the event and are looking forward to seeing how they respond to the problem-solving exercises we give them.” Though aimed at women, the event is open to all people, all ages, all walks of life, who would like to get a taste of computer programming and learn about the Nyriad internship – which is open to anyone, regardless of having computing qualifications or not, as it provides training resources and sessions, and with a friendly team who are happy to help along the way. The only thing you really need is perseverance.
Tongariro group growing By Claire Castle
Local woman Caroline Webbon has picked up a new nickname – ‘the Tongariro Lady’ – and it’s one she’s more than happy to take on.

confirmed to take part so far. “It’s just insane,” Caroline said, adding that she originally thought it might just be her and “a couple of mates”. The idea has struck a chord, however, and more people are joining the Cambridge take on Tongariro Facebook page and committing to the walk. “People have dreamed about doing something big in their lives, and this is an opportunity to do that.” The lodge the group will be staying at can sleep up to 140 people, so that’s the limit on numbers for the trip, Caroline said. “I’m just a girl in Cambridge who wants to help people in Cambridge achieve something on their bucket list,” Caroline said. People of all ages can take part, as long as they have a good base level of fitness, as the walk is challenging in parts. Holding it on October 28 means the group will miss winter, but also gives participants a few months to get some training in. And it’s the week after Labour Weekend, meaning people are more likely to be available, she explained. Anyone who would like to tick the Tongariro Crossing off their bucket list should join the Cambridge take on Tongariro page on Facebook or give Caroline a call on 021 035 5748 for more information.

Bastille Day a hit Cambridge took on the colours of red, white and blue on Saturday, July 14, as the town celebrated Bonjour Bastille Day. Organised by the Cambridge Le Quesnoy committee each year, the French-themed day sees Cambridge celebrate its connection with French sister city Le Quesnoy. For those wondering why we celebrate Bastille Day and our relationship to Le Quesnoy, the connection started back in November 1918, one week before the end of World War 1, when New Zealand soldiers liberated the French town from German occupation. To this day Le Quesnoy remembers that sacrifice with streets named after New Zealand places, a New Zealand war memorial and even a primary school named after a Kiwi soldier. Originally Bastille Day was celebrated to mark the turning point of the French Revolution, when the people of Paris stormed the Bastille fortress-prison on July 14, 1789. On July 14, 2018, Cambridge played its part with a bevvy of Bastille Day activities, including French-themed challenges at the Farmers Market, store fronts and staff donning French flair, a booked-out French lunch at Cambridge
FRIDAY JULY 20, 2018
Primary and very popular crepe workshops run by Apéro French Cuisine. The Cambridge Brass Band also gave a life performance, with proceeds from the lunch and workshops going towards fundraising efforts for the band’s participation at the Le Quesnoy centenary commemorations in November. Bonjour Bastille Day organiser Julie Epps said it was a great day on Saturday with donut-bobbing being the biggest hit with kids, and the delight for many of seeing French flags and berets throughout the CBD – in fact a handful of people thought it was to celebrate France’s victory in the 2018 FIFA World Cup. “Bastille Day is always a great day in town with the shops going all out, decorating French-style,” said Julie. “Walking down Victoria and Duke Sts there were French flags and berets everywhere, and amazing French displays in store. “Bastille Day isn’t complete without French food, and this year we organised a French lunch in conjunction with the Cambridge Brass Band and caterer Mel Teesdale from Apéro French Cuisine. It was a fundraiser for the Cambridge Brass Band’s trip to Le Quesnoy in November, and it was so popular it sold out quickly.” More than 80 people attended the lunch, with more attending crepe workshops throughout the afternoon. “The Cambridge Primary School Hall was the perfect
venue, all decked out in the French theme,” said Julie. “The food was superb and the entertainment by the Brass Band was spot on! “We want to thank everyone who contributed to the day – all the helpers, the shops and cafes, and to all the people who came along and joined in the fun of a French day.”
Over 80 people attending the French lunch fundraiser held at Cambridge Primary School, catered by Apéro French Cuisine.

Little libraries coming Communities in Tauwhare, Matangi and Tamahere will each receive one of 30 “little libraries” created by prisoners at Spring Hill Corrections Facility, Hampton Downs. Holding 20-30 books that can be borrowed and exchanged, each little library will be installed
in rural areas around the Waikato district, kept stocked by local residents in an effort to provide books to communities without public libraries. The project is part of Waikato District Council’s ‘Placemaking programme’ designed to help communities to reclaim their public spaces
with seating, planting, art installations and other projects and activities that bring people together. For more information contact Betty Connolly Betty. Connolly@waidc.govt.nz or Lianne Van Den Bemd Lianne.VanDenBemd@ waidc.govt.nz or phone the council on (07) 824 8633.

A monthly gardening column, courtesy of Amber Garden Centre As the cool Winter makes itself felt in the garden, daffodils are popping up their heads – signs that spring is just around the corner. Vegetables Prepare the garden by applying a dressing of lime to the soil and dig in green manure crops of mustard and lupin. Give them time to break down before planting begins. In late July, plant new crops of leafy vegetables – lettuce, cabbage, silverbeet, broccoli, spinach and kale. Rotate plants – avoid growing the same plants in the same place. Plants like peas and beans put nutrients into the soil, which will benefit leafy crops. Potatoes Potatoes can be purchased and set out in trays to sprout in a light airy shed. Try some early potatoes in a large bucket or pot on a sheltered sunny deck or glasshouse away from frost. Tree pruning Pruning should be completed this month and followed up with liquid copper spray to control fungal disease. Conqueror Oil is used to get rid of any insects and eggs – this is a bio-certified organic spray. Roses Prune roses at the end of July. Spray with copper to help seal cuts and combat infection. Apply sheep pellets and rose fertiliser and look forward to their first flowers. Spring bulbs Fertilise as they flower to help with next season’s flower development. Perennials Lift and divide old perennial clumps, replanting the outer young growth and discarding the old centre growth. Ornamental trees Now is the time to plant new ornamental trees for shade or flower. Cherries, Maples, Liquidambar, Cornus and Magnolia are all available at your local garden centre now. Happy gardening.

Inspirational journey to the podium By Sophie Iremonger
A truly inspiring local is proving the power of mind over body as she prepares to compete in the 2018 UCI Para-cycling Road World Championships in Italy next month, just two years after an accident left her clinging to life. Competitive cyclist Eltje Malzbender was likely involved in a hit-and-run accident near Waitomo whilst on a training ride in March 2016, having been found unconscious on the side of the road. Airlifted to hospital, she arrived in the lowest level on the coma scale from which people can recover, with a severe traumatic brain injury and fractures to vertebrae in her neck, and not expected to walk or talk again. But last week Eltje was doing just that, telling her story and hopes for the future at a fundraising event in Cambridge aimed at raising funds toward Italy. After two and a half months in a coma, followed by weeks of intensive care and months of rehabilitation, the former Te Kuiti resident moved to Cambridge to continue her rehabilitation and begin
rebuilding her life, and she soon discovered tricycling at the Avantidrome. Since then she’s improved well beyond what doctors originally expected, using cycling to help rebuild her strength with the support of her coach, Michael Bland. “I think it’s absolutely amazing that a body that was just about to shut down, at the lowest on the coma scale that you can actually survive, that that body two years later is planning to go to the world champs,” she said, “and I’m so grateful for being able to do that. “I still have many mishaps every day,” she said, “dropping things or knocking them over, but I pick it up and do it again, and hopefully a little bit better, and every time I think ‘it’s a learning opportunity for the brain, you just keep doing it’. I don’t look at failure as a thing that went wrong, but I see it as a learning opportunity.” Having competed at the national road cycling championships last year, finishing first in both the road race and time trial, and finishing second in both divisions at this year’s championships, the German-

born New Zealand resident of 14 years caught the eye of paracycling selectors, and after receiving her citizenship in early June she made it onto the NZ team competing at the Para-cycling Road World Champs August 2 – 8. “Now I’m in the Pathway to Podium programme that’s aiming for the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, and going to the worlds in Italy is obviously a big step towards Tokyo,” Eltje explained. Competing in Italy will give Eltje the international classification she needs to eventually make it to Tokyo. But for that to happen, she needs to fundraise to help cover the cost of the European trip, which is less than a fortnight away. Last week’s event at Sloth Café, where a number of locals turned out to show their support, certainly played a part toward the cause, but the fundraising effort is not over – it’s less than a quarter of the way towards the $10,000 target, but thankfully Cycling New Zealand is allowing Eltje to fundraise the second half of the costs when she returns. But she still needs the help of the public to help make her dream a reality. Money donated will

Chiefs awards recognise Hautapu lads By Sophie Iremonger
The annual awards for the Chiefs rugby team were held last week, celebrating the end of the 2018 season whilst recognising outstanding players – four of which came through the Hautapu rugby club.
you’ll do anything it takes to make that place a better place.” The Hautapu Sport Club’s director of rugby Mike Johnson said Liam’s award was “thoroughly deserved”. “You couldn’t meet a nicer person, or someone that’s more committed,” he said, “and not just in rugby, but in the community, helping kids and all sorts of different causes over the years. … He’s not just a good footballer, he’s a good human being. “And even though he hasn’t been able to play while he’s been professional, he’s still been a great supporter of the club.”
in the Gallagher Chiefs environment this year, training alongside people I’ve watched on the TV, growing up as a youngster,” he said. Johnson said the club was “tremendously proud” of the players, and rather humbled that four of the seven awards of the night went to Hautapu club players. “It’s certainly a credit to our coaching staff and the other team members,” he said. “It’s a team game and they’re part of a pretty awesome team.” This Saturday, July 21 the club rugby semi-finals will be held at the local grounds on Taylor St, where Hautapu’s development team will take on Hamilton Marist at 1pm, and premier team against Otorohanga at 2.45pm. The club would love to see locals turn out and show their support.
Under 20’s Player of the Year went to Laghlan McWhannell.
Liam Messam received the Chiefs Tohunga lifetime award – the third recipient in Chiefs history. Liam Messam was awarded the Chiefs Tohunga lifetime award, the supreme award of the night, recognising his 12 seasons with the Chiefs team. The former Hautapu player is just one of three people ever to receive the award. He will be continuing his rugby career in France with Rugby Club Toulonnais. “When you care this much about your people and your community, it’s really hard to leave,” Liam said, “and

Former St Peter’s student Laghlan McWhannell, another Hautapu player, was awarded Under 20’s Player of the Year. “The award is a bonus,” he said. “For me, rugby is all about the friendships and camaraderie – at the Chiefs Rugby Club I have felt really welcome from the beginning.” Finally, the Development TAUA Player Award went to Ayden Johnstone. “As you can tell by my highlight reel, or lack thereof, I’m really just a grinder,” the humble Hautapu Ayden Johnstone received the lad said. “It was a real highlight to train Development TAUA Player Award.

Old Boys host Hautapu Premier A Hautapu Premiers visited Hamilton Old Boys (HOB) in the last game of the regular season, looking to secure the Has Catley trophy for finishing top of the table and a home semi-final. From the start it was obvious this was going to be a tough encounter with a lot of physicality in contact. It was HOB who took the early advantage with a penalty followed by a try. Hautapu were guilty of trying to push the pass and poor ball security in the tackle, turning the ball over to HOB on several occasions which they used well and played the corners with a good kicking game. At the break HOB

held a good lead 23-5. With the resumption of play Hautapu looked to take advantage of the wind and push HOB back into their half and were rewarded early on. HOB pegged one back, which had Hautapu chasing the game once more. As the game entered the final quarter Hautapu crossed for another try but the gap was too great and too many handling errors cost them the game.

take on Marist in their semi-final. Development Hamilton Old Boys hosted us for the last game of the round and the development lads were not about to take this game for granted. From the kick-off Hautapu went on the attack and kept the opposition trapped in their 22. The pressure told, and Thomas Orr slipped through their defence to score the first of his four tries, earning him the Player of the Day award. Through resolute defence, Hautapu kept Old Boys on the back foot allowing Josh Wood to drive over.
A lapse in concentration just before half time saw Old Boys score in the corner, but they went to the break 22-5 down. The second half started with either team not giving an inch and it wasn’t until midway through the spell that Hautapu tightened up their game plan and put their structures back into play with a further three tries. One of these tries to lock, Matt Caldwell. Final result 41-5 to Hautapu. Next week semi-finals are at home against Marist. Thanks to the continued support of our sponsors and supporters.

Women edge closer to cup final By Josh Easby
Cambridge’s women’s football team are only one game away from reaching their fourth Waikato Women’s Cup final in six seasons. The team will travel to Claudelands Rovers for their semi-final of this year’s cup, to be played at Hamilton’s Galloway Park on Sunday August 12. The match will bring together two clubs with an excellent recent record in the competition. In 2013, Claudelands Rovers beat Cambridge in the final but a year later, Cambridge turned the tables, bringing the 2014 trophy back to John Kerkhof Park. Cambridge were also beaten finalists in 2015 and reached the final of the Waikato
Plate in 2016. This year, the Cambridge women have reached the last four with a 5-0 win against Matamata Swifts in the first round, and a 3-2 victory against Tokoroa in the quarter finals. The winners of the Claudelands Rovers-Cambridge semi-final will play the winners of West Hamilton United and Melville United’s Development team. Cambridge are also one of the title contenders in this year’s Waikato A division, having drawn their latest game 0-0 in a local derby with Matamata Swfits last Sunday. Meanwhile, Northern League football returns to John Kerkhof Park this weekend when the Reds host third-placed Albany United. Cambridge had a bye last weekend

and need points against the Aucklanders to pull clear of a congested pack of clubs hovering too close for comfort to the relegation zone. The Reds play Albany at 3pm on Saturday. The Reds second team – who have a three-point lead in the Lotto NRFL reserves league – kick off at 12.30pm. Last weekend, the club’s team in the Loaded WaiBOP Championship lost 4-0 to league leaders Ngaruawahia United. Cambridge’s Waikato A men’s team lost by the same scoreline to Otorohanga. However, both of the club’s Waikato D teams had more success. The D1s went into their game against Northern United Seniles knowing
whichever side won would take the initiative in the race for the divisional title. Cambridge went behind 1-0 in the first half but second half goals from leading scorer Dave O’Donnell and Fabian Burgos ensured the points went to the visitors with a 2-1 victory. Cambridge D1s now have 25 points from their 11 competition games while Northern United Seniles have 22 points, having played one game more. The D2s beat Northern United’s other division D team, the Gaffers, 5-1. Scorers for the D2s were Andy Kemp, Quinn Dickey (from a smartly taken free kick), Shaun Kemp, Andrew Myers and Liam Storey, who chipped the ‘keeper from outside the box.
Nine shooters from the Cambridge Miniature Rifle Club competed in the Waikato Open and Closed competition in Te Puke last weekend. The diverse group of guys and girls, from teens through to seniors – some of whom were competing in their first competition – finished up the event with a very healthy collection of trophies. Brad Pierce, Liam McDonald and Mark Lane took out first, second and third in the B grade, Samuel Wilde placed first in the C grade, and Abby Pierce and Sharonn Pirie placed first and second respectively in the D grade. Having taken home three of the team trophies last year, this year the club
brought home four of the five available – in the A grade (Glen Brownlee, Brad, Mark and Hugh Allison), B grade (Mark, Hugh, Liam and Samuel), C grade (Samuel, Nathan Allison, Sharonn and Abby), and in the combined teams grade took out both first and second – Glen, Hugh, Sam and Abby first, and Mark, Liam, Sharonn and Nathan second. “Fantastic effort by all our members, particularly the new and first-time competitors,” said the club’s president Glen Brownlee. The shooters will spend the next few weeks preparing for the South Waikato Open combined with the National Indoor Champs on August 4.

Come join Cambridge Tree Trust – we are looking for new members! If you are interested, come along Tuesday morning, or telephone Don Willoughby on 07 827-8051 Focus on Street Planting As Cambridge continues to grow and climate change ramps up we should think about the importance of street planting. Besides their obvious aesthetic value, trees provide vital environmental services; with shade and especially evapo-transpiration they cool the air in summer, while keeping us warmer in winter by adiminishing wind flow; they diminish air pollution by trapping dust; they prevent flooding by diminishing run-off in rain storms; they provide habitat for birds and insects; and of course they use up carbon dioxide which causes climate change in the first place. In the past Cambridge has developed with wide streets which can accommodate large trees as seen here in Queen St. Today however small sections and narrower streets mean that opportunities to plant large trees are constrained. We need to think about ways to overcome this constraint; how to design streets that allow for the growth of medium sized trees, which trees are best suited to street planting in a changing climate, how close trees should be planted, and the provision of community green spaces for recreation where large trees can still be planted. Two examples are shown of recent planting, one good the other not.

FRIDAY JULY 20, 2018
Swimmers come out on top By Sophie Iremonger
The St Peter’s Swimming Club has good reason to consider itself one of the country’s best after finishing up 7th overall at the New Zealand Open Swimming Championships. The event over July 2 – 6 saw 15 local swimmers compete in open-age racing across
men’s, women’s and mixed divisions, competing against 46 clubs from around New Zealand. Vanessa Ouwehand racked up a stack of medals with a first-place finish in the 50m butterfly, first in the 100m butterfly and third in the 200m butterfly. She also joined Holly Isaac, Rylee Britton and Paige Flynn in the women’s relay team to earn bronze in the
St Peter’s swimmers Paige Flynn and Daniel Caldwell have returned to Cambridge with a stack of medals.
final. “They were pretty good,” said club coach Carl Gordon. “Finishing 7th on the points table is pretty respectable for us and getting top Waikato club by quite some way. “It has its own little challenges to it, it was hard for the three coming back from Papua New Guinea…” Dan Caldwell, Paige Flynn and Thomas Raymond competed at the event having just taken part in the Oceania Swimming Championships in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea, June 25 - 30. There, they dominated the field along with the 20-strong Kiwi team, New Zealand coming away as the top overall country. Paige certainly pitched in toward the effort, collecting two golds, a silver and a bronze, as well as five relay medals. “I didn’t go in with many expectations… the team environment was just phenomenal, I enjoyed every second of it,” she said. All three swimmers, aged 19 to 21, were representing the country for the first time. Paige’s gold medals were earned in the 50 and 100 metre back stroke finals, as well as silver in the 100m freestyle and
bronze in the 50m freestyle. The relay medals came with the NZ women’s team winning gold in the 4x100m medley, and silver in the 4x100m freestyle. In a mixed relay team along with Daniel, the Kiwis also won the 4x50m mixed, 40x100 free style and the 4x50m IM medley. “We didn’t exactly have a lot to lose, so it was just go in there and race as hard as you can,” said Daniel, who also won gold in the 4x100m men’s freestyle relay, and gold in the men’s 50 metre freestyle, beating his two-year personal best (PB) in the process. It was
good to finally smash that,” he smiled. Thomas, who was absent at the club last week, finished up the event having made the B final of the men’s 200m freestyle race as well as a few PBs. The trio will compete in the national long course champs October, continuing their rigorous training over the next three months after a brief but well-deserved week off. Meanwhile, a team of 26 St Peter’s Club swimmers are across the ditch this week, competing in the South Australian Swim Champs.
Trampers explore mine track
By Kay, Cambridge Tramping Club On Sunday, July 8, thirteen keen trampers set out for the Eliza mine track which commences from the end of Thompson’s track car park, off SH2 between Tauranga and Katikati. This track was established when the mine was working to pack in supplies and equipment. We had a couple of shallow crossings over the Waitekohe stream and followed a pleasant bench track to a junction. We then climbed a steep ridge to the Eliza mine area. Time did not allow us the option to link up with the North/South track, but we climbed to a commanding view to enjoy lunch with a background of birdsong (tuis and bellbirds) before retracing our steps. Thankfully the rain eluded us for a pleasant, sunny day in this beautiful bush. The next tramp on July 22 will include the Huntly Lakes. Note a later departure time of 8.15am, for more information phone June on 0274698431.

Ten years later, in the Greek island of Kalokairi, Sophie is pregnant with Sky's child while running her mother's villa. Self-conflicted that she can't do it by herself without her mother around, but with Tanya and Rosie's guidance, Sophie will find out more of Donna's past and how she fronted the Dynamos, came to start up her villa on the island, meet each one of Sophie’s dads and raised a daughter, bravely on her own, without a mother to guide her – with an unexpected visit from someone she had not invited or never even met: her grandmother. The film stars Meryl Streep, Lily James, Amanda Seyfried, Christine Baranski, Julie Walters, Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, Stellan Skarsgård, Dominic Cooper, and Cher.
