399 straws for a Guinness By Jeremy Smith

gave you and see what that looks like. In New Zealand, a group has been set up so like-minded beard growers to come together, united by their shared passion. That group is the Fellowship of the Beard and President Ygnacio Cervio, who was in Cambridge to witness Anatole’s record attempt, sung Anatole’s praises. “To be fair he was nervous but confident on the day and he had a really good technique when he was placing the straws.” Ygnacio said the fellowship started as a “one-man dream”. “It’s now become a community that not only encourages and supports the growing, styling and grooming of facial hair, but for us facial hair is not just fun, it’s a responsible way of life,” he said. Ygnacio said the fellowship “opened the beard game” in New Zealand by starting the country’s only national beard and moustache competition. “The event is getting bigger every year and brings people together from every corner of our land - as well as visitors from other countries such as Australia, Morocco and the United States.” One of the key purposes of the fellowship is to support and raise funds for charities and to date these have included Lifeline Aotearoa, the Cancer Society of New Zealand, the Child Cancer Foundation and the Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand. Auckland is set to play host to next year’s World Beard and Moustache Championship.

One of these could well have been the last straw. The last straw which – pending official confirmation – will soon see Cambridge become home to its latest world record holder. On Sunday, Anatole Ivanow found room for 399 straws in his beard – and that’s a long way ahead of the 312-mark record holder Joel Strasser from the United States managed in 2019. There was no time limit, and no one was permitted to help Anatole put the straws in his beard. But once they were all in, they had to stay in place for 10 seconds to count. Anatole has since sent videos, photos and signed paperwork from two witnesses to Guinness World Record officials for confirmation. All things going well, Anatole will add the record to the full beard under 30cm category world title he won at last year’s World Beard and Moustache Championships in Belgium. “I did it,” Anatole said joyfully when speaking with Cambridge News shortly after his attempt. While he had wanted to fit a 400th straw in, “there was just no more room”. “I was stoked though.” So, what’s the secret to the perfect beard? “I don’t really know to be honest – but what I do always say to people is grow what God

Letters

Get it right It would be nice if the recorded history of the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi was as clear cut as Gerald Stewart (letters February 21) suggests. The assertion that Hobson addressed each chief at the signing of the treaty with the phrase “he iwi tahi tatou” - “we are now one people” has no contemporary reference. It was stated by William Colenso in 1890, 50 years after the event. No contemporary observers recorded any such thing. In fact, published reports suggest a good deal of rancour. If it was such a big deal as the supporters of Hobson’s Pledge seem to suggest, why wasn’t it the overwhelming sentiment of contemporary reports? It also begs the question of why that wasn’t said or recorded at the signing of the eight more copies of the treaty in other locations, including one here in Kāwhia. If one wants to argue present politics on the basis of historical events - first get your facts right. John Thomson Kāwhia

Top marks, council I wish to congratulate Mayor Jim Mylchreest and the Council for taking a small first step towards ensuring Māori have a voice on the Waipā District Council by way of iwi representation on major decisionmaking committees. The Treaty was signed at Waitangi in 1840 but was soon just broken promises. Colonisation has not been a positive

Hello again everyone, Yay for the rain that finally arrived! The land has definitely benefited from it. This week I have three different things I want to bring to your attention. Firstly, I’ve said it before, but I need the word to get out to all. You, the community, are our eyes and ears. If offending is in progress, ring 111 at the time and provide full information. I still see posts on social media complaining about something, where the person hasn’t called police. Our best chance of catching an offender and gathering evidence is when the activity is happening or immediately afterwards. Any time delay can erode a witness’ memory and increase the chance that evidence will be lost. When you call, give the best description of offenders (nationality, hair, height, build tattoos, clothes, hat, shoes etc) and vehicles (registration and vehicle description plus any distinguishing modifications) and exactly what it is you have seen. When speaking to the call taker, either stay on the phone giving updates, or call back if anything changes (for example, an offender

leaves). If reporting a motorist, the longer you can give information about a vehicle’s location and driving behaviour, the better our chance of locating it and building a strong case for careless or dangerous driving (if appropriate). Secondly, sometimes police attend major incidents that require us to close roads, put police cordons in place and divert pedestrian and vehicular traffic. This generates a lot of talk amongst the community and the practical response from the public can be varied. Almost every time I have been holding a cordon, I have had people approach me, convinced that because of where they/their family live (“just over there!”), the fact that they forgot to lock their house or need to get (insert item here) from their house, that they are the exception who should be allowed through. After a recent event in Cambridge East, I wanted to reiterate that public safety and the requirements of police operations are paramount for us at such times. Preservation of evidence at a crash scene, preservation of an offender’s escape path for tracking

thing for Maori, far from it. Current statistics for health, prisons and housing make that pretty obvious. To the Council I say, well done! Carolyn Casey Cambridge. Focal point In response to Dr Celine Kearney (Letters February 7), the huge turnout at a community meeting for cancelled roads by the current Government demonstrated why a focus on the Cambridge to Piarere Road extension is relevant and vital for our community. I agree that the general term of infrastructure does not just include roads. It also covers hard infrastructure like school buildings, community buildings and medical services infrastructure like the Tokoroa and Taupo hospitals and soft infrastructure like more doctors and nurses delivered under the previous National Government with an increase in elective surgeries. I will continue advocating for all aspects of the wellbeing and prosperity of our community, towns and our region, as has been the case since I was elected as your MP in 2008. While National was in Government, we delivered more in transport than the previous government, with record investments in all modes of transport, highways, local roads, trains, walking and cycle ways. We invested more in supporting social housing and reducing the number of people on the main benefit.

Under the current government, the number of people on the dole has jumped by 27,000. The recent Salvation Army’s State of the Nation report is a clear indication of how the Government is failing the most vulnerable New Zealanders. The social housing waitlist has tripled, and seven out of nine poverty indicators are worse than when National was in government. I would encourage you to read our various discussion documents at www.national. org.nz outlining National’s future policy proposals. (Abridged) Louise Upston MP for Taupo Thank You From ‘Our Dennis’ A heartfelt thank you to Naomi Wicker and all those involved in organising the Teddy Bear’s Picnic. Thank you also to my friend Mel and all the team at Absolute Coffee House for the impressive cakes. I will never forget the wonderful reception I received, with so many encouraging me to keep doing what I do. Most of the donated teddy bears are already in the arms of smiling children. I came to Cambridge to be a part of the community and now the community is a part of me. Thank you Michael Jeans for the photos of a most memorable day . I’m surprised to hear so many people greet me by name as I walk around Cambridge. I’m sorry I can’t remember all yours. Dennis Lloyd

by police dogs and the presence of a volatile offender in an area are examples where cordons are likely. If an officer says you cannot pass through a cordon, please follow their instructions. A diversion is usually offered, or it may be necessary for you to simply wait elsewhere until the cordon is lifted (the Waikato Police Facebook page and the media provide regular updates for serious incidents). Your co-operation makes our job easier and ensures everyone is safe. One final note about something I witnessed first-hand on Monday. Caring locals helped a woman who had tripped and fallen in town, injuring her leg. She was made comfortable with cushions and a cover from Alpino restaurant, an ambulance was called and emotional support was provided for herself and her husband until paramedics arrived. This willingness to help is part of what makes our community special. Well done Cambridge.

Water works: a month to go By Jeremy Smith

Stage one of a $36m three-stage major infrastructure project to improve Te Awamutu’s water supply was delayed three months because of “additional work required” – but should now be finished next month. The first stage of Waipā District Council’s 100-year infrastructure upgrade project focused on upgrading a one kilometre stretch between Kaipaki and Parallel roads that will supply untreated water from the Waikato River to a water treatment plant on Parallel Rd. With the final connection being completed next month, a detour in place since October diverting Te Awamutu-bound traffic from Cambridge down Lamb St and Roto-o-rangi and McLarnon roads should also be lifted.

They’re wearing our shirts here… Children in four countries are wearing football kits donated by Cambridge FC as part of an ongoing project to help those less able to play the sport. The football club has been sending decommissioned strips overseas since 2014 and Cambridge’s distinctive red and white stripes have since been worn in Africa and Asia. The latest children to benefit live in Sabah, on the Malaysian island of Borneo. In mid-February, they received a set of shirts through the Etania Schools project, an organisation set up to help stateless children in Sabah. Cambridge social footballer Sunny Prabhu arranged the donation of kit through family friend Kathryn Rival, a retired teacher and school principal from Auckland, who works for Etania in Sabah. “These kids are part of the community that make up the majority of the workers in the palm oil industry,” he said. “Technically, they don’t exist (as far as the

government is concerned) as they boated over for work and aren’t paid much, but can’t go back. “They have no access to health care, schooling, water…anything really. So they were stoked to have soccer uniforms.” Sunny and his wife Sarah helped deliver Cambridge’s first kit donation in 2014 when they took part in the “Undies for Africa” appeal, an international initiative to distribute underwear and sanitary products to women and girls who found it difficult to get them. The Prabhus spent three weeks in Uganda,

distributing 120kg of products, including three boxes of Cambridge playing strip, boots and footballs. Sunny said the coach of the Sun City Football Club, Lameck, was delighted with the donated gear. “He said over and again ‘this is good, this is so good!’” Sunny has played for Cambridge’s D2 men’s team and has enjoyed social football through the club’s Cambridge Summer League 5-a-side competition “though I always seem to be injured.”

Changes to neighbourhood support needed

By Viv Posselt

Members of the Cambridge Community Patrol covered around 19,000km and gave more than 1800 volunteer hours last year. They also recorded 166 incidents relating to vehicles, property and disorder – reflecting a steady growth in demand as the population expands and the community patrol group increases its profile. Helping steer that profile into another busy year is Jenni Dacomb, who has replaced Hannah Glover as community engagement officer for Neighbourhood Support Cambridge. Jenni came on board earlier this month, after spending two years at Cambridge Community House in

Leamington and doing a stint as a Violence Free Waipa coordinator. Both Cambridge Community Patrol and Neighbourhood Support Cambridge are overseen by the Cambridge Safer Community Trust, headed by chairman Ian Hughes. Ian said Jenni’s appointment as engagement officer with Neighbourhood Support Cambridge signified the importance of re-invigorating neighbourhood support. “That’s our main thrust right now. There was a time lapse between Hannah leaving and Jenni coming in, so we need to bring people up to date.” He said there were over 70 neighbourhood groups in and around Cambridge, covering residential, business and rural areas, all working

in conjunction with police and, when necessary, with civil defence. “It is important that people understand our close involvement with the police. We act as the ‘eyes and ears’ in the different neighbourhoods; when we see something suspicious occurring, we immediately contact the police. It is all about having a presence. Neighbourhood Support NZ in Wellington is increasingly active now, which means we can do more because they are doing more.” Neil Bridgland, chairman of the Cambridge Community Patrols and deputy chairman of the Cambridge Safer Community Trust, said an increasing number of people were keen to get support groups going in their areas. “When we first started in 2017, our patrols centred primarily around the town areas, but that has extended outwards as new areas have come on stream.” He said the group was grateful for the support of Waipā companies, in particular Hautapu’s C&R Developments, who fuel the patrol vehicles, provide spotlights and GPS units, road user charges and vehicle repairs. Ian and Neil said there was a need for more volunteers

willing to do community patrols. The core group of around 30 is often stretched to capacity as only a certain number can commit regularly. “We need more to cover those times when people are not available. They’d be expected to do

a minimum of one patrol a month – a few do much more than that. We’re not looking for someone wanting ‘keystone cops’ action, just people who are steady and reliable,” said Neil. Anyone keen to learn more about joining the patrollers,

or becoming a registered member of Neighbourhood Support should contact Jenni at info@safercambridge. co.nz, visit the website (www. safercambridge.co.nz), or call 07-827 6172. Jenni will also be at the Chamber of Commerce Gold Day on March 6.

New project set to invest in young lives By Viv Posselt

A pilot project linking Leamington Primary School with the Cambridge Community Charitable Trust (CCCT) and aimed at mentoring children most likely to benefit from the supportive opportunities it offers, gets underway this term. Entitled Ako - meaning the sharing of knowledge - the project is intended to help youngsters establish positive relationships, build resilience and find pathways to responsible decision-making. It is geared mostly to children who may be struggling, those who lack positive male role models, or those just needing encouragement to find something that interests them. The youngsters will be taught skills by community volunteers willing to commit between one and three hours a week. An early activity on the programme is bridge for kids, with sessions being presented by former teacher Eunice Eccles; others could include building items, tinkering with motors, making games, scrapbooking, doing other ‘hands-on’ projects, technology, art

and more. CCCT chairman David Cooney said the project was a good fit with the Trust’s mandate. “We look for projects that are community-based and that have real purpose and benefit to those in need,” he said. “If this proves successful, we would like to roll it out to all local primary schools.” Ako grew out of an approach the CCCT made to the Raleigh Street Christian Centre (RSCC) last year. Raleigh Street was already running a successful youth initiative in both Cambridge Middle School (CMS) and Cambridge High School (CHS), based around a similar focus. Two youth workers at CMS and five at CHS have acted as ‘conduits’ between students and RSCC; they run personal development programmes, leadership coaching and just ‘hang out’ with students. David felt it could be beneficial to take a similar programme into primary schools. He also found inspiration in successful building projects run last year for similar groups of youngsters at Kaipaki and

Cambridge East schools, involving Rob May Builders’ owner Jono McCullough. “It was aimed at boys needing direction and focus … we were impressed by its success,” David said. Raleigh Street’s Viki Johnson is team leader for the Ako project,

aided by Leamington School acting deputy principal Leesa Mangino, and a group of CCCT members. Youth mentor leaders Santasha McGuire (CMS) and Celeste Sandford (CHS) have been employed by Viki to get the ball rolling at Leamington School. The Ako project needs more

mentors to lead the groups, and both David and Viki are putting the call out for volunteers. “We’re looking for people in the community with skills to offer and a few hours to spare each week for around six weeks,” said David. “They can bring a wide range of activities to the table … really anything that might be of interest to primary school-aged children. I’m sure there are retired or semiretired people in the community who would be willing to help us out for a few hours a week. This is something we can do to invest in these young lives through projects and relationship-building, something that will benefit these children in the longer term.” Funding for the Ako project is coming principally from the CCCT; it will cover the paid youth workers, training and administrative costs. The Trust has put in $13,800, with an additional $1900 coming from Cambridge Lions. Anyone keen to become a mentor should contact Ako team leader Viki Johnson on 021 929 028, or at Viki@ rscc.co.nz.

FRIDAY FEBRUARY 28, 2020

A drop in the ocean “Bloody good rain” finally arrived in Cambridge on the weekend, albeit in “very localised” drops. But Maungatautari dairy farmer James Dallinger said he was delighted with the good start. In town 17mm of rain was recorded over both days while James was celebrating having had 25mm of rain. “I’m definitely not complaining,” he said. “It’s a fantastic start, but we definitely do want more. We always do.” The localised nature of the rain though is at times is a challenge, he said. “While we got 25mm, two kilometres down the road there was 16mm. “One of the hardest parts is those times you look out the window and see the rain that is falling moving around you, without you getting any.” Given the dry state of Waipā , the rai s a drop in the ocean. A district council spokesperson said it was not enough to “substantially change the situation.” “We probably need about a week’s worth of the sort of rain we got on the weekend. It did help improve the stream flow situation though.” The spokesperson added that the community has responded well following

water restrictions being put in place. Meanwhile, Waikato Regional Council is reminding all resource consent holders of water takes to check their consent conditions and comply with low flow restrictions.

Rangiaowhia remembered

Over 200 people gathered on Rangiaowhia Road last week to commemorate a tragic event in Waipā’s history – the attack on the village of Rangiaowhia, near Te Awamutu, in 1864.

Iwi, dignitaries, school students and members of the public attended to mark the anniversary of the horrific events which unfolded at the site 156 years ago.

A range of dignitaries attended the event.

To the Waipa Community, RIDE’s generous family of sponsors, our cycling participants and to all of the wonderful spectators

Approximately 700 Māori had lived there, operating a 450 acre wheat farm set up with missionaries in 1841. The station served Ngati Hinetu and Ngati Apakura, and much of the produce was milled on site and sold to market in Auckland. After the installation of King Pōtatau in 1858, the area became a target for government control. Though the exact events are debated by historians, historic accounts detail an attack on the village by 1000 of General Cameron’s troops on the dawn of February 21, 1864. It resulted in several houses being burned down, 12 Māori killed and over 30 taken prisoner in what was regarded as an act of murder, rather than an act of war, due to the fact that most of the village occupants at the time were women, children and older men. Most of the young Māori men were defending pas further out from the site, and had been bypassed. A plaque to commemorate the event was unveiled at the site 150 years later, in 2014.

Some dignitaries acknowledged that the event had been largely unknown until recent years, and needed to be passed on to tamariki. Gary Paki, who carved of the Pou, noted that the strong turn out on the day reflected the fact that the story was being heard and remembered. Tom Roa, Ngāti Apakura kaumātua, said the commemoration was an opportunity for dignitaries, iwi, school students and the public to “reflect on the atrocities of the events at Rangiaowhia”. A range of commemorative events took place throughout the day, starting with a karakia and dawn ceremony at 5.30am, followed by blessings, speeches and ceremonies at significant sites in the area. Rangiaowhia features in one of six self-drive tours available on the Te Awa Wai Journeys website – tearawai.nz – a digital storytelling initiative launched by Waipā District Council in conjunction with Te Awamutu Museum in December.

Delicious developments Buses for balloons

By Steph Bell-Jenkins

Suburban Kitchen and Podium Cafe owners Kim Moodie and Ali Foers are cooking with gas as they prepare to launch three new Cambridge eateries. The women, who also run catering business Gourmet Delicious, are set to open two new cafes and a fish and chip shop. It’s all happening just five months before they head to the Tokyo Olympics in July to cater for the New Zealand rowing team. “We weren’t actually planning to open three businesses right now, all at once,” Foers said. “But these three opportunities came up and they were too good to turn down.” The first cafe, named Clementine after a type of citrus fruit, is part of Amber Garden Centre on Peake Rd and will be “family friendly”, incorporating a new children’s playground. It is set to open within the next week. “The garden centre owners, Robert and Jen Clancy, approached us about a year ago and it’s a really cool space,” Moodie said. “They’re passionate about their customers and their business and it definitely rubs off; they’ve been awesome to work with.” The second cafe, named Ophelia after Foers’ favourite song, will open in about six weeks on Shakespeare St. “We weren’t looking for another cafe but we saw the building and fell in love with it,” Foers said. “It’s an old villa with gorgeous gardens and it has a very unique vibe. There are just so many areas people could sit and enjoy. It has that grand old lady kind of

feel.” In addition, the pair has bought the fish and chip shop next door to Suburban Kitchen in Robinson St. Weta Workshop artist Lauren May flew up last weekend to decorate the takeaway joint, Suburban Chippie, which will sell burgers and “all the usual stuff” and open in a fortnight. “We’re going with an old-style visual of what a fish and chip shop looked like 30 years ago with a new take on the menu,” Foers said. Cambridge foodie Belinda MacDonald, 2014 co-winner of television show My Kitchen Rules, has joined the team as a culinary consultant. “We’re very lucky to have her,” Moodie said. “She’s had a big input into the menus across the board, so we’ve had lots of menu planning days and

tastings with her. Even the fish and chip shop’s going to be next level.” Foers and Moodie also have a trip to Tokyo on their plate this year. “This will be our third Olympics catering for New Zealand Rowing, which is just amazing,” Moodie said. “They’re awesome people to work with and we’ve had opportunities to watch some incredible races. Our first was Joe Sullivan and Nathan Cohen winning gold. I don’t think I’ll ever forget that experience in my entire life, I just bawled my eyes out.” While the heat is certainly on for the pair at the moment, they are “very excited” about their new ventures. “We’ve got a great staff and we’ve been given some amazing opportunities through our work so we feel very lucky,” Moodie said.

Free bus trips are being offered from Cambridge to enable people to see Balloons over Waikato when it visits Te Awamutu. Eight balloons, including three ‘special shape’ balloons – a unicorn, snail and an astronaut – are scheduled to be at Albert Park from 5pm to 8pm on March 20. A ‘great inflate’ of the balloons will start about 6pm, depending on the weather. The community can enjoy a walk through a hot air balloon in exchange for a gold coin donation, and funds raised will go to the KidsCan Charitable Trust. Two cloud hopper balloons and two standard balloons will also be displayed. It will be Balloons Over Waikato’s first visit to Te Awamutu. Cambridge has hosted the balloons in previous years. But Cambridge residents won’t miss out, with Council putting on a free bus service to transfer people to and from the event. Waipā District Council staff will host a stall at the event where people can have their say on Council’s vision and community outcomes for its 20212031 Long Term Plan (LTP). The LTP outlines the services, key projects and initiatives Council will deliver and fund over the next decade. The plan is revised every three years so it can remain current and address upcoming issues facing the district. Visit www.whatsonwaipa.co.nz for more information about the event.

Youth quest starts

Nominations have opened for the 2020 Waipā District Council Youth Awards. Now in its 18th year, the awards recognise achievements in academic, community service, leadership, sporting and arts/ culture categories. Youth aged 14-18 years who live in or have attended school in Waipā for at least six months of the 2019 academic year are eligible. Last year’s awards attracted the largest number of applicants ever, with 122 nominations received and 78 awards handed out. Each year the ceremony is hosted by head students of Te Awamutu College, Cambridge High School and St Peter’s School Cambridge and held at one of the three secondary schools. This year’s event will be held at St Peter’s School in Cambridge on June 18. Nomination forms are available from secondary schools, Council offices, libraries and at waipadc. govt.nz/youthawards

Dairy finalists named Two farmers in the Cambridge News readership area have been named as Waikato finalists in this year’s New Zealand Dairy Industry Awards. In total, 16 Waikato finalists have been named from around the region, across three different categories - the Waikato Dairy Trainee of the Year, the Waikato Dairy Manager of the Year and the Waikato Share Farmer of the Year. The Cambridge finalists are Sam Guise in the Waikato Dairy Manager of the Year and James and Kirsty Dallinger in the Waikato Share Farmer of the Year. The wider Waipā is also well represented, with Te Awamutu’s Bobby Potae and Sophia Hunt both named finalists in the Waikato Dairy Trainee of the Year.

Tackling the pests

DOWN WITH KIDS

This workes for us For your average teenager, compulsory isn’t the most attractive word. But strangely enough, many (me included) are throwing our monotonous grunts behind NZ First’s idea of a Compulsory Community Service bill. At their October party conference in Christchurch, NZ First party members voted to back the concept of “100 hours required community service for people between the ages of 15-19.” Obviously, plenty turned the idea down, as you could expect from a piece of legislation with the word compulsory in it. But I was curious what teens themselves thought, and, chatting to my peers, I found a surprising amount of support. It seems that many teens already want to help out in the community but can’t. “Kids are wanting to volunteer their time but are lacking the framework to do it,” Sam Johnson, the Executive Director of the Student Volunteer Army told Seven Sharp late last year. Fitting service in around schoolwork, and finding programmes designed for students not adults is hard; Johnson’s comments reminded me of the time a

friend and I tried to sign up to a volunteering service last year, only to be met with a reminder that only those 18 and above could apply. By mandating service for teens, NZ First’s policy would ensure schools fit in time for community-based learning, and that volunteering organisations orientate programs towards it. Completing community service itself brings a wealth of merits for teens. Studies tend to divide the benefits of youth volunteering - voluntary and involuntary into three categories. “Increased civic engagement” is the first, meaning that people who were involved in community service programmes as teenagers are more likely to vote in the future, as well as keep volunteering into their adult life. In a study of high school seniors completed last decade, academic James Younis found that frequent community service correlated “positively with students’ inclination to participate in political activities.” Participation within the community has also been found to lead to increased school attendance. When the idea first came into the public eye in the early 2000s,

Karen Barlow is the newly appointed Community Coordinator for Predator Control in Cambridge and she will keep readers up to date with projects. Today she looks at the Te Kō Utu Lake project.

By Matteo Di Maio

Academic Robert Shumer wrote in an article looking at the American “CommunityBased Learning” programme, designed among other things to aid dropout prevention, that it “demonstrated… learning in the community can be effective in improving attendance and school grades, as well as helping students to learn.” And finally comes the psychological benefits of increased involvement in the community. Half a decade later, researchers Musick and Wilson detailed a set of “psychological resources” to be gained from service. They reported positive effects on teenagers’ “self-esteem and sense of self-efficacy…“useful for managing negative feelings like depression, anxiety, and stress.” In my last column, I looked at the need for teachers to provide out-of-school perspective to students struggling with mental illness around school performance. Considering the findings of studies like these, community service might just provide that perspective. However, some students - even if they were for the idea of volunteering as a whole - were against the scheme, saying it was too

controlling in its nature. And I understand the objection: no one likes to be forced into doing anything, especially teens. I propose a slight amendment to the bill. Government-led programmes to encourage voluntary, well, volunteering do exist. But there’s that problem Sam Johnson brought up: with an avalanche of schoolwork, few teens have the time to opt in, even if they want to attend. A compulsory community service program solves this by ensuring that schools provide a framework for teens to engage in the community. So, what about a compromise? Keep NZ First’s bill but cut out that off-putting “compulsory” element for teens. Instead – use the bill to make sure schools provide the opportunity for students to get involved within their schedule – driving up the numbers of teens completing community service. Students want to help out. Let’s help them.

Te Kō Utu Lake is one of Cambridge’s favourite spots because of its picturesque setting, water features and picnic areas. It’s also heavily infested with possums and rats - 101 possums were caught in 2019 in just this area alone. The trapping is done by a team of dedicated volunteers from Predator Free Cambridge (PFC). PFC was Karen Barlow founded by in 2017 by Adam Thompson, a Kiwi bloke who just wanted to see something get done about the pest problem. He has been joined by many more amazing volunteers who feel the same way. Trapping requires a team of committed people, that may or may not have any experience at pest control. The possum traps around Te Kō Utu Lake are faithfully checked every day by two neighbours. The rat trap lines are checked every week by rostered volunteers equally as awesome. These lines are often done by families and it is a fantastic way to educate our children about the problems of predators. So why do we want to get rid of possums and rats? They kill and compete for food and habitat with all our native species. They also spread disease, cause damage to property and contaminate food supplies of humans. The traps used are approved by the National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee and are humane kill traps. All traps supplied to Cambridge residents by PFC are free too. No poison baits are used by PFC. Funding has now secured a part time Predator Control Community Coordinator to support current projects around Cambridge and expand trapping in the area. Education and public awareness is key to the group’s ambitious goals of wanting at least one rat trap in every fifth backyard (which should cover the home range of a rat). If you are keen to be involved in the Te Kō Utu Lake project, want to join an existing group in your area, start up a group in your neighbourhood or want a free rat trap in your own backyard then do it.

Max is a true saint By Viv Posselt

Max Highnam’s 52 years’ service with St John in Cambridge was recognised this month with the presentation of a laurel by Waipa District Mayor Jim Mylchreest. Max has been an ambulance officer, superintendent of both the youth and adult divisions, regional staff officer, first aid tutor and area committee member. In 1984 he was admitted into the Order as a Member, and was subsequently promoted to Officer, and then to Commander of the Order. On top of that, he has spent years as a FED (Friends of the Emergency Department) at Waikato Hospital, helping the patients and easing the nurses’ ever-increasing load. At 83, Max is still doing his FED hours several times a month. “I love doing it … I have slowed down a little but want to keep doing it for as long as I can. The FEDs are there really to give comfort to the patients and help the nurses. We do all sorts of things … making beds, washing beds down, helping people navigate their way through the system. Sometimes, it’s just a case of talking to people coming

through the ED and keeping them calm.” Max joined Cambridge St John in November 1967, after a neighbour said they were short of ambulance personnel. He had done a first aid course as a member of the Boys’ Brigade. “I decided to give them a hand, and besides, I had always wanted to help people. I come from a family that encouraged us to do things for others.” Wife Dawn has long been a tireless worker for St John behind the scenes. “I think that between us, we have given over 90 years to St John,” said Max.

His service has been recognised with awards – he has received three awards from Queen Elizabeth, while Dawn has received two. He has also seen changes to the service including the separating of the ambulance wing from the training side. It was shortly after those changes in the early 1990s that he moved from a more formal role to that of a volunteer. “There is so much enjoyment you get out of being involved with an organisation like St John,” Max said. “I’d do it all the same way if I had my time over again.”

Whānau classes show way

Mahaki Corbett’s whānau class.

For Mahaki Corbett’s new whānau class, the start to the school year could hardly have been better. Cambridge High School’s first whole school day this month saw the Te Reo Māori and Social Studies teacher’s class both win the “Best Form Class” title within its house and claim the House shield. The day, styled as a “House Challenge,” introduced the school to a reformed system of houses and all-age vertical form classes. It also premiered six “Whānau” classes. The aim of the Whānau form class is to work within a framework of Te Ao Māori, providing support and assistance to students during their schooling, according to Corbett. The idea of a Whānau form class is not new for Cambridge High School. Before this year’s switch-up, Corbett ran one Whānau form class, the only vertical form class in the school. “We are carrying on what we had established for the last 15 years.” With Cambridge High’s new school system coming into force this year, the Whānau form class initiative has expanded and each house now has a Whānau class. All other form classes in the school also now follow the

vertical form class structure. The whānau class system could serve as a model for what a successful vertical form class may look like in the future. “We’ve had teachers approaching us wishing that our form class was like theirs,” Corbett said. “In this school, it’ll take maybe three or four years for the rest of the vertical form classes to become like us.” “We also have loads of support from families (of the students) and staff within the school. Our networks are quite vast,” he said. The six Whānau classes will revolve their teaching around building understanding of six areas: Hauora – health and wellbeing, Tikanga – cultural aspects within Te Ao Māori, Whanaungatanga – engaging in positive relationships with friends and family, Manākitanga – to care and be respectful of oneself, the environment and others, Kaitiakitanga – to be active and responsible students within all areas of school, and Mātauranga – ongoing learning.” The Whānau form class option will be open to all students. Two students from Corbett’s class, Mya Tohia in year 11, and Lara Harris in year 12 said they were involved straight away “and it already feels like a family”.

Polo returns to Mystery Creek Siblings put on a class act Top players will start competing tomorrow at an international women’s event at Mystery Creek Polo Club. Hosted by women’s world number one Nina Clarkin, the annual tournament has attracted record entries from Australia, South Africa, United Kingdom and Hawaii. The event is open to the public through to March 1 and will include a free family fun day on Sunday. Members of the public are being encouraged to bring a picnic, gazebo or blanket and watch the best female polo players in action. “I want to see the standard of women’s

polo continue to grow here in New Zealand and show that there are some of the most talented players in the world right here,” Nina Clarkin said. “This will be the fourth tournament of its kind I’ve hosted, and I’d like to make this one of the best women’s tournaments in the world moving forward.” Based at Mystery Creek, Clarkin uses New Zealand as a breeding and training ground for the horses, taking two or three horses back to the UK each year to play there or sell them. Meanwhile, the Mystery Creek polo team won the prestigious BMW NZ Polo Open at the Auckland Polo Club last weekend. A team comprising John-Paul Clarkin, Kit Brooks, Ethan Wade and Will Harper beat South Island’s Glenmark team, Pete Dormer, James Harper, Lachie Gilmore and Sam Martin in a highly competitive match, 11-7. Six teams, made up of the nation’s top players as well as professional players from Australia, Argentina and England, competed in the event throughout the week Mystery Creek’s Will Harper was named most valuable player. His father, England Polo Captain, James Harper, played for Glenmark and won the champion pony title with a mare owned by Dean Geddes of Canterbury.

For the Knowles family, Athletics day is far more than a yearly occasion. According to the eldest, Hinewai Knowles, the family trains together on Sundays in the summer, and every weekend at the Cambridge Athletic and Harrier Club. The training paid off last week when siblings Hinewai, Heather-Ann, Mikyla and Wiremu racked up a collective eight first and three second places at Cambridge High School’s house athletics day. Hinewai won the senior girls’ 100m and 200m sprints, Long Jump and Triple Jump. She was second in the 400m and 5th in the 800m. Younger sisters Mikyla and Heather-Ann shone in the intermediate girls’ Triple Jump, finishing first and second respectively.

And the youngest of the four, Wiremu, won the junior boys’ discus and clocked up first and second placings in the junior boys’ 800m and 3000m. Hinewai said it was the school’s “really good environment” that helped the family to do so well. Her next target is the 2020 Jennian Homes New Zealand Track & Field Championships in March. The House Athletics day also saw a school record broken. In the words of one adjudicator Jujhar Singh “smashed” the intermediate boys’ shot put record with a throw of 12.55m. Parawhau came out on top of the school house competition, putting Horotiu house’s winning streak to an end. Horotiu was second, with Te Oko Horoi third.

Howarth back in the water

By Jeremy Smith

New Zealand’s youngest-ever Paralympian, and former Cambridge High School student, Nikita Howarth is back in the pool and already making waves. Competing at the Victoria State Championships, a World Para Series meet in Melbourne, Howarth won a gold medal in the 100m breaststroke and a bronze medal in the 50m breaststroke. It’s a triumphant return the event was her first time competing in the pool in almost three years. Howarth - who was born with a bilateral upper limb deficiency which means she has no hands - looks to be quickly recapturing form which saw her become the country’s youngest Paralympian when she was selected for the 2012 London Paralympics at just 13. Four years on, she won two Nikita Howarth, pictured after winning a gold medal in Melbourne. Photo: Martin Philbey/Swimming Australia.

medals in the pool at the 2016 Rio Paralympics - a gold in the 200m individual medley and a bronze in the 50m butterfly. Shortly after, Howarth hung up her goggles to give cycling a go. And she found success there too. Competing in the 2018 UCI Para-cycling Track World Championships in the C4 classification, she set a then new world record in the C4 flying 200m time trial event at the Southland Track Cycling Championships in Invercargill. A return to the pool though didn’t ever look likely because last May, citing medical reasons, the paraswimmer was forced to retire. It was a move which surprised the para-sport world. She’s nothing if not a fighter though - and is always one to set her goals high. Howarth is subsequently making no secret of the fact that for her, now that the “love of swimming” has drawn her back into the pool, that means she has the Tokyo Paralympics in August in her sights. “For sure, that’s my goal,” Howarth, who is coached by Mat Woofe, said. While she’s not sure what events she

AROUND THE CORNER OR FAR AND WIDE EXPERIENCED, PROFESSIONAL & COMPETITIVE

would compete in yet, if she was to qualify for Tokyo, it would be an impressive third showing at a Paralympic event for the still young 21-year-old. “I really wasn’t sure what to expect from the meet,” Howarth said of Melbourne. “At the moment, competing is a bit of an experiment for me. I’m simply back swimming because I missed it. For me, it’s the feeling of being free when I’m in the water.” “For now, we’ll see how we go – it’s just really nice to be back in the pool.” Given Melbourne though, she did concede the signs for Tokyo were looking “all good”,

so far. Howarth, who regularly trains at Livingstone Aquatic Centre, said she was grateful to the Perago Trust because without its support she couldn’t be back on the competitive circuit. Asked what keeps her going in the face of adversity, Howarth had a straight-forward answer. It’s a motto she said she lives by. “You’ve got to chase your dreams because they can’t chase you. You have to go and get them and be determined to always put in the effort.”

Football fixtures set for Cambridge Reds head coach Paul Richardson has confirmed a series of pre-season games as part of his Cambridge squad’s build-up to football’s Northern League. Cambridge will play a firsts/reserves double header of friendlies against WaiBOP Premiership club Otumoetai at John Kerkhof Park tomorrow. The reserves match will start at 12.30pm, followed by the main game at 3pm. Other pre-season games will be on the road, giving the squad ample opportunity to test themselves against strong opposition ahead of the 2020 Lotto NRFL season. The Reds travel to Melville United’s Gower Park for a 6.30pm match featuring an extended first team squad next Tuesday. On March 7, Cambridge will participate in a

three-team tournament at Papamoa providing games for the men’s firsts and reserves, and the Cambridge women’s team. Cambridge travel to Tauranga City’s Links Avenue ground for their last scheduled warmup game on March 14, with the reserves starting at 11am and the main game at 1pm. The Reds firsts and reserves teams will spend March 21 playing inter-club games, filming sessions and getting together around a BBQ as they prepare for the new Northern League season. Their first fixture is likely to be in Auckland on March 28. The fixture list will be confirmed after the completion of two promotion playoff series (March 8 and 15) being held to determine the participants in the second division.
