A school holiday winter wonderland was in Cambridge this week. A synthetic ice-skating rink set up at Cambridge Raceway attracted about 1500 people – both parents and kids – get their skates on during the course of its four-day stay. Bringing it to town was the brain-child of the Cambridge Chamber of Commerce.The Grassroots Trust - which provided funding - and Cambridge Raceway then came on board to help make it a reality. Chamber of Commerce CEO Kelly Bouzaid said the concept was mentioned at a recent business networking event where Cambridge Raceway CEO Dave Branch came forward. “We were astounded at the reach and engagement the social media posts achieved and knew we were onto a winner. “This seemed like a fun and timely idea heading into level 1. It offered our youth in the community some winter fun and fed the positive vibe that we are currently enjoying in Cambridge.” Cambridge Raceway’s events and new business manager Shannon Bint-Popperwell was thrilled with its popularity. “What a turnout,” she said. The rink belongs to Ice Skate Tour and owner Robin de Goeij said their time in Cambridge was busy every day. “It’s fantastic seeing the school holiday smiles on everyone’s faces,” he said.

“absolutely amazed”. Cambridge Real Estate hoped they might collect between 50-100 pairs when they put the call out towards the end of June. Six weeks later, 380 pairs had been donated by the staff, the public and clients, a number that completely threw organiser, Cambridge Real Estate director and agent Sherry Herkes. “Never in my wildest dreams did I think we’d get to that number… the response was fantastic. We are so grateful,” she said. Because the initiative was set up for the company to match pair-for-pair the number collected by staff and others, Cambridge Real Estates’ total donation to Kids in Need Waikato will be 760 pairs of pyjamas. “We have them on order and will pass them on to Linda when they arrive,” said Sherry. “We are very grateful that we can help those in need.” The company launched its PJs drive after seeing a social media post from Kids in Need Waikato. At that stage the organisation, founded and run by Linda Roil, was putting

feelers out for help with funding a vehicle. Cambridge Real Estate became the first of several local companies to support that endeavour but decided to piggy-back from that to collect winter pyjamas for youngsters affiliated to Kids in Need Waikato as one of their regular initiatives to ‘give back’ to the community. “We support Cambridge Lifeskills as our ongoing community initiative, but we wanted to do something else as well. This has been such a huge success… our staff have so enjoyed being a part of it, so we will look at other ways we can help Linda in the future.” Linda said she was “absolutely overwhelmed with the amazing response to the pyjama drive”. “We want to thank everyone who has donated and pass our heartfelt thanks to Cambridge Real Estate for putting this together. We will be able to put those pyjamas into packs with the love of so many. The support is so much appreciated – thank you.”

On the beat with Senior Constable DEB THURGOOD Don’t use the N word

I’m back from the wintery chills of Taupo this week and have been enjoying more local activities. With children back to school next week, things will soon once again return to a less flexible schedule. Prevention is at the heart of a lot that we do as police officers. My goal is to prevent crime from reoccurring from both sides of the equation, both offender and victim. I am a strong believer that most police interactions offer a chance to problem solve and provide support to the people involved. These opportunities may arise at the time of the incident or through subsequent followup. Early intervention is often key to making change. When police are called to an address for a family harm incident at the loud argument stage, the subsequent report triggers a response from support agencies. This extra support may stop a later escalation to physical violence from occurring and children from witnessing violence in the home. Apprehending a drunk driver or wine bladder thief can enable steps to be taken to help them recognise and address addiction issues. Dealing with fighting in a public place can lead to referrals that assist an offender with anger management and counselling for underlying issues. You get the drift. These are reasons that it is important we stop framing the act of calling the police

when something happens around us, as ‘narking’. It is actually a vital step in helping stop the cycle of offending for those involved, which makes all of our community safer. This also applies when you see the police appealing for the sightings or information leading to the arrest of a wanted person. Our job is made a lot easier with your support. On a related note, I wanted to give a thank you and general shout out this week to the lovely volunteers manning our Cambridge community patrols. They all willingly give up their valuable time, free of charge to act as an extra set of eyes and ears in the evening time. The community patrol go out in their sign written silver ute, complete with a police radio on board, enabling them to hear what is going on and keep in touch with our units. Each week, I provide a briefing to them, outlining any local areas of concern, issues of note, stolen cars and crime hotspots. In addition, they use their own experience to proactively deter crime through their patrols and highlight suspicious activity to the police officers on shift. Their diligence and positive attitude is much appreciated by all at Cambridge police. Have a great last weekend of the holidays, Deb.

$8m kick starts Cambridge expansion

The first tranche of infrastructure work to unlock new growth areas in Cambridge will start before Christmas. Waipā District Council is assessing tenders for physical works on water and wastewater infrastructure which is likely to cost up to $8 million. It will see water mains and wastewater pipes replaced and extended down Cambridge Road, towards St Peter’s school. The increase to capacity and the upgrading of water and wastewater infrastructure, plus new stormwater infrastructure and roads are key to unlocking the Cambridge east growth cells. When complete, the developments

will accommodate 2,500 houses, a new 1000-pupil primary school and commercial areas including a supermarket. Waipā Mayor Jim Mylchreest said the water and waste water infrastructure is expected to take at least six months to complete and was a sign Cambridge was back on the move. A further tender for specialist stormwater thrusting work will go out before Christmas with earthworks planned for the coming summer. Final planning work continues for the new intersection on Cambridge Road near Te Awa resthome. The form of intersection is yet to be determined but a contract is likely to be let in early 2021 with work

completed by the end of next year. All up, the combined works will cost around $50 million. Waipā contractors will be encouraged to tender if they meet the required criteria. Mylchreest said the infrastructure work would be welcomed by the wider region because it will provide job opportunities and security and would help rebuild confidence in the local economy. “Cambridge is the highest growth area in our district and while this work has been planned and budgeted for some time, it’s always good to see physical work on the ground actually start. That’s what makes it real for people,” he said. “People will be very pleased

to see progress because it will provide confidence to the wider district that Waipā is continuing to move forward, despite the challenges posed by Covid-19.” Mylchreest said Council was working collaboratively with land developers around timing of the works and that some developers were already well advanced in terms of “getting work boots on the ground”. “I understand there’s new infrastructure works west of Te Awa on Cambridge Road due to start soon. That includes building connector roads and extending stormwater swales which are needed for the building of the new primary school,” he said. “Sub-divison plans are also

well advanced and it looks like new housing will be going in from 2022. So there is a certainly a lot of economic activity happening and frankly, that’s what we need right now.” Mylchreest confirmed his Council has yet to hear back from central government on its application for a $74.3 million, 10-year interestfree loan to help jump start Cambridge’s new growth areas. “We’re hopeful we will get a positive response to that application but we’re not reliant on it. The work has always been planned and budgeted and if we are required to slow it down because of financial constraints, we will simply consider that at the time,” he

Jim Mylchreest

said. “The reality is that any interest payable on loans raised by the Council to finance the work is covered by developers, not by ratepayers. So there is every reason, particularly in this economic climate, for us to press ahead and that’s exactly what we’re doing.”

Hello and goodbye, Mr Muller

National MPs were caught on the hop by the resignation of National leader Todd Muller on Tuesday – hours after the announcement none of those in and around Waipā had even acknowledged it on their Facebook pages. The News sought comment from Barbara Kuriger (Taranaki-King Country) Tim van de Molen (Waikato) and Louise Upston (Taupo) ahead of going to press. Kuriger, the party whip, was involved in calling the Tuesday night caucus meeting which elected Judith Collins as new leader and Gerry Brownlee as her deputy. Muller released a statement saying the role had taken a heavy toll on him personally, and on his family, “and this has become untenable from a health perspective”. The resignation came 67 days out from the general election.

Jacinda Ardern, who became Prime Minister less than three months after replacing Andrew Little as Labour leader said “no matter what side of Parliament you’re sitting, politics is a difficult place”. Muller had been in the region earlier this month, backing calls for the Waikato expressway to be extended to Piarere, beyond the present southern point on the Labour-led Government’s plans. But while he looked on strong ground there, it was a different story elsewhere as Muller struggled to deal with several issues, notably the fall out after the leaking of Covid patients’ private details. He was clearly uncomfortable when confronted by a vitriolic press contingent which his opposite number Ardern had handled with aplomb during the Covid Todd Muller was in the South Waikato with Waikato and King Country National lockdown. MPs just a week ago.

Pie makers in plastic dilemma By Jeremy Smith

In Waipā, where some plastic is not fantastic, one of the country’s largest manufacturers of a Kiwi staple has confirmed it’s looking to get to the meat of the issue. The company which makes Big Ben Pies - George Weston Foods - has confirmed it is looking at changing its present packaging, which will end up in landfills. The News asked Goodman Fielder, which makes Irvines Pies, about its plan at the same time. When this edition went to press, the company had had six days to respond to questions. It had not done so.

Waipā District Council is limiting recycling in the district to plastics displaying numbers 1, 2 and 5. It consigns plastics marked 3, 4, 6 and 7 to landfill. Big Ben and Irvines pies are packaged in grade 6 plastic. Plastics 1, 2 and 5 include milk and soft drink bottles. Plastics 3, 4, 6 and 7 include items like styrofoam cups and some types of plastic containers and some plastic plates and cutlery. In a statement to the News, George Weston Foods New Zealand baking division general

manager Mark Bosomworth said finding more sustainable packaging solutions was one of the company’s top priorities. “We are currently working with our packaging suppliers in regard to this class 6 tray and will implement a solution as soon as we can,” he said. “We’ll take into consideration food safety and product quality our goal is to ensure our packaging solutions are either manageable within the local recycling eco system or have minimal impact on the environment.”

The News reported last week that data collected at the district’s new recycling sorting centre will be used to create education programmes to help ensure residents stick to the district council’s newly instituted recycling policy change. The sorting process now means staff at the centre will be able to tell just how much contamination is being placed in the district’s recycling bins. Waipā District Council also launched its kerbside recycling service last July.

Thank you for the music By Jeremy Smith

The newly-refurbished organ at St Andrew’s Church has struck a chord with parishioners and the public alike. About 250 people were treated to Unstoppable - an organ recital and hymn sing afternoon on Sunday to celebrate the completion of a two-year organ upgrade. The work cost around $150,000. The work included a thorough clean of the existing pipes, adding more of them, updating the unit’s console and incorporating technology which now makes it “quite an up to date” digital system. The scope of an initial idea for the project was broadened to include a new transmission system and additional pipes thanks to the Basil and Cynthia Hewett Charitable Trust – established by a brother and sister as their legacy. On Sunday, Vicar Malcolm French said he was hugely grateful for the donation. “Without it, this wouldn’t have been possible.” Jeremy Goodwin – a greatnephew of Basil and Cynthia - spoke on behalf of the trust. “It’s an absolute delight to hear the organ being played

and it’s fantastic to see what has happened here at the church – St Andrew’s Church is one of New Zealand’s gems and an icon in the district,” he said. The recital afternoon included guest organists Dr Rachael Griffiths-Hughes, St Peter’s Cathedral Hamilton’s organist and choir director and convenor of the University of Waikato’s Conservatorium of Music, former director of music and performing arts at St Peter’s School Mark Eyre and David Brookes, the organist and

choir director at All Saints Matamata. The organ refurbishment work was undertaken by the South Island Organ Company and representative John Hargraves said the project was enjoyable. “We’re leaving with a fantastic impression of Cambridge.” The church’s more than 120-year-old organ was built in the 1880s by New Zealand’s first organ builder, George Croft. It was third organ he built in the country. St Andrew’s Church was built in 1881.

Economy: cautious optimism An independent economic outlook report provided to Waipā District Council says New Zealand is in a period of “cautious optimism” despite a finely balanced economy. The monthly report from Wellington-based Infometrics provides an overview of current economic activity. It says the quick shift to Alert Level 1 and border activity has buoyed confidence and activity. But it notes the global economic picture is worse than expected. “The speeding up of the pandemic’s path is of great concern to our views for global growth, and the flow-on implications for New Zealand and our trade activity,” the report says. While job numbers are not as bad as expected, the wage subsidy extension is keeping more Kiwis in work, covering nearly 300,000

jobs in the first 16 days and costing $1.2 billion. The report predicts an “economic reckoning” once the subsidy ends and as “businesses reassess conditions and job losses mount”. Already 13 council areas are reporting a doubling in Jobseeker Support work-ready recipients from a year ago. A report in May forecast 2000 jobs would be lost in Waipā due to Covid-19, many in retail, wholesale, accommodation and food service industries.The latest report noted New Zealanders seeking the accommodation supplement in May 2020 was up 16 per cent from 12 months earlier. Heavy traffic was still only operating at 85 per cent of prepandemic levels and freight remains lower than normal. However, the amount of internet usage has fallen back from Alert

Level 4 peaks, probably as people return to work. In terms of real estate, new listings on realestate.co.nz rose further in June, sitting at higher levels than in the previous year. But house price figures continue to be “jerky” with low sales volumes making it difficult to assess underlying trends. House sales were down 47 per cent in May 2020 with house prices forecast to soften moving forward. The report says residential building consents across the country are “holding up better than expected” but that building activity is likely to be hampered in 6-9 months time because of limited financing. Nationally, non-residential building consents were down 5.5 per cent. Job advertisements are at 57 per cent of pre-pandemic levels and continue to trend up.

“There is a dichotomy in business at present – those who are looking for workers, and those who are shedding workers.” The report says goods trade volumes are holding up but foodbased exports have softened in recent weeks in line with the global economic outlook. An Infometrics report to Waipā District Council released in May noted Waipā was less exposed to the negative economic impacts of Covid-19 because of the district’s strong primary sector and its limited exposure to international tourism. The latest report also noted consumer confidence has “bounced back” after a steep fall during lockdown. Waipā District Council has announced a $795,000 recovery package to help support and rebuild Waipā’s economy and community.

Big interest in Waipā park revamps

Waipā residents have taken a huge interest in district council plans for two popular destinations which face revamps. At the close of submissions at 5pm Monday a total of 519 submissions had been received for the draft Memorial Park concept plan in Te Awamutu and 222 for the draft plan for Cambridge’s Lake Te Koo Utu. The numbers reflect the controversy over plans for the Te Awamutu revamp of Memorial Park which opponents say deflects from the theme of the site. A recent meeting in Te Awamutu amplified concerns, which were also picked up by the town’s RSA – whose president Lou Brown is a

district councillor. An outspoken critic of the plan, Marc Dawson, featured on the front page of the Te Awamutu News in late April. In Cambridge, the plans for Lake Te Koo Utu (pictured right) have been received warmly – the only letters to the editor in the Cambridge News raising concerns have questioned the need for a playground. Both concepts were given extensive airing by the district council which advertised it with videos and information signs at the two sites. Most submission on the Memorial Park plan were hard copy or emails – 351 – and there were 168 online submissions.

Conversely, in Cambridge there were 195 online submissions and just 27 hard copy or email submissions. The submissions will be considered as the council works towards a final decision on both projects.

Karapiro residents have been praised by police who arrested two men following an incident this week. Te Awamutu based constable Ryan Fleming said staff had a short “fleeing driver” incident on Tuesday and the car was dumped on the Karapiro side of the dam. After a lengthy track by a dog handler, two males were arrested. Constable Ryan said many residents has approached police at cordons. “Everyone was helpful - and with that, we achieved our aims.”

THE AGE OF REASON

Age is our growth industry

Life is more than an endless circle... By Murray Smith, Senior Leader, Bridges Church

By Peter Carr

This week I have been visiting retirement villages throughout the middle belt of the North Island, finishing up in Auckland. I have been talking with people who have a common interest in achieving a more relaxed lifestyle during their latter years. They are usually people for whom striving to achieve capital gains on houses throughout their careers has become an unwelcome chore - and they now desire to achieve a life enjoyment balance more fitting to their more gentle years. I am proud and pleased to reside in one of them in Cambridge. A village with 260 people all in modern, warm houses with maintenance and garden tidying support where the Friday Happy Hour is meaningful and reflects its title, where the rigours of the Covid virus were kept at bay with the huge assistance of a caring staff. Throughout the country there are in excess of 400 such villages holding (or dare I say corralling) over 44,000 people. With an average age around 76 years. Of these villages 170 are owned and operated by six large company managements where their villages average 121 houses or apartments each. This is a growth industry. Figures released last week indicate that over 8000 extra dwellings are being built in existing villages and that 12,700 are destined to be built in new – currently non-existing – villages. And why this growth? Simply put – demand. The source of those figures above also revealed that currently there are 80,000 Kiwis over the age of 75 years. And that by 2028 that figure will be 140,000 - and just 15 years later will have ballooned to 240,000. So just 24 years from now the number – against today’s base – will have tripled. Alarming

FAITH IN WAIPĀ

for some – terrifying for others – and a major headache for whichever party is taking up the seats in parliamentary Wellington. Take a look at Cambridge. There are five villages, mostly completed, another about a quarter built and a whole new one destined for Victoria Road out towards the dairy factory. Expand Cambridge to envelope Tamahere (this paper is delivered there) produces another two. And just to remind politicians (nationally) and those who aspire to be (local body) these are the people who do care to vote. These people have time to study the antics of the political sphere, possibly are saddened by the poor behaviours pertaining within ‘chambers’ yet they are passionate that we, all of us, maintain a balanced, healthy and future-thinking society. The people residing behind the sometimesfictional gates spend money in the community. They have a propensity to ‘buy local’, desire good public transport services and yet many of them readily give their time for the good of the community. For time is a gift that the current employment and pension systems allocate to them. Take a look at those manning the Daffodil Day bucket-rattling stand at the supermarket. Take a look at those helping with the town’s fine tree trust. Peruse possibly worn faces assisting at a number of charitable events. They all got there by (in the majority) healthy living, careful fiduciary constraint and ensuring that their off-spring had good education, played bodystrengthening sports and kept away from debilitating drugs.

A slight, elderly lady, pushed her walking frame along the footpath in town. She’d been shopping and as she shuffled homeward a rain shower caught her. Endeavouring to keep both herself and a little bag of goods she’d hung over the handlebars dry, she paused in her tracks to unfurl an umbrella. Holding the umbrella in one hand, she set off again pushing the walker with her free hand. Immediately a problem surfaced. Moving forward in a straight line while pushing a walking frame with only one hand is extremely difficult. You start to walk in a circle. That’s exactly what happened. Soon this elderly lady had veered nearly 180 degrees to almost end up facing back up the street where she’d come from. To correct the arc she had just completed, she cleverly swapped hands- exchanging the hand she’d been holding the umbrella with, to use it for pushing the walker...but the whole manoeuvre just repeated in reverse! It could have appeared comical if it wasn’t just so touching. Without intervention she could well have continued to go back and forth, zig-zagging in an endless semicircle without ever making any headway. It required someone else - to help push the walker, or at least hold the umbrella! Our experience of life can be a bit similar. Difficulties ambush us, things happens that ‘rain on our parade’... we ‘unfurl our umbrellas’ and try to manage stuff as best we can but we just don’t have what it takes to avoid ending up going about in endless circles...caught in a repeating pattern that entraps us and prevents us from making headway. As a nation facing an election in seriously

precarious political times, with all the additional issues relevant to Covid-19 and its accompanying challenges, people are confronting infinitely more traumatic issues than an inconvenient rain shower… Businesses are stuck - many no longer able to even sustain a holding pattern, job losses, personal crisis, stress, dealing with relationship breakdown, financial need, physical or emotional fallout from loss and uncertainty, or any number of other difficulties it all culminates in circumstances that can cause us to end up stuck in hopelessness… going around in circles. The point is, we all need ‘someone’ to intervene in our lives...another pair of safe hands on the ‘handlebars’ of life that help guide us through difficulty, that provide momentum when life becomes stalled. Ultimately the intervention we cannot do without, is the intervention that comes from God. An old adage states, “man’s extremity is God’s opportunity.” This is not proposing that God is like some smartphone App that we pull out when we need a hand and then put aside when we have regained control of our journey. Rather, it is a needy person at the end of themselves reaching out to One greater than us all. Acknowledging our failures, releasing self-determination and control of our lives to Him, we discover He both exists... and cares. There is a way forward… and it starts right here.

Altrusa looks to lift club numbers

By Viv Posselt

The new president of Cambridge’s Altrusa Club, Maureen Blackstock, is making membership growth the primary focus of her year in office. The club is sitting at 21 members. It has been up to over 30 in the past, and down to around 14. “The great thing about Altrusa is that members do only what they are able to do – there is no pressure for them to put in a certain number of hours to maintain their membership,” said Maureen. The club has a stand at the monthly Trash & Treasure Market and has a long-standing link with St Andrew’s Village which sees Altrusa members take residents out shopping on a regular basis, or to outings further afield every couple

of months. “If we get more people on board, we can expand that initiative, and we’d like to do that.” Altrusa International was founded in the United States in 1917 and became a classified service organisation for women a year later. New Zealand’s first clubs were formed in 1966 and since then it has grown steadily, with the common thread throughout being a focus on education and literacy. “Our income this year will obviously be less because of Covid-19, but we will still fulfil our commitment to our core programmes, such as Literacy in Schools,” Maureen said. Another long-standing project is Altrusa’s ‘Threads Across the Pacific’

initiative, where donated sewing machines and materials help deliver sewing workshops to Vanuatu. Both Maureen and her predecessor Jenny Shaw have spent decades in the organisation and have held the rank of president on earlier occasions. Jenny spent two years at the helm, time disrupted by a family loss and then by Covid-19. Now they’re back on stream, she thinks it will take time to get things back into place. A stalled fashion parade will now take place early next year, she said. “It is usually done in spring, but there is no reason it can’t be an autumn show.” For more information about Altrusa, Cambridge Altrusa Club former president Jenny Shaw, left, contact Maureen Blackstock on 021 678 346, or via maudblackstock@hotmail.com passing the gavel to new president Maureen Blackstock.

The public gets what the public wants

By Peter Matthews

Hats off to Diageo. Who? Diageo - a British corporation with an annual revenue of £12 billion ($23 billion) - the company owns over 200 high profile liquor brands including Guinness, Smirnoff, and Johnny Walker. Diageo has just announced that as from 2021 Johnny Walker whisky will be available in paper bottles. Well, not quite paper - it’s a paper-based product made from sustainably produced pulp, and it will be 100% recyclable through standard recycling streams. They have even formed a new company to develop, produce, and market the product. This is of course great news, and I predict it is only the beginning. On the other hand, Coca Cola, with an annual revenue of USD$37billion ($56 billion) have said they are not going to stop producing plastic bottles because their customers still want them. I have been saying for some time now that you and I should do what we can to reduce, reuse, and recycle, but the big changes are going to have to come from higher up. This is where it gets interesting. When corks in wine bottles got the boot in the early 2000s, I was not in favour of screw tops. Gone was the romance and panache of opening a bottle of wine at the table and ‘tasting’ the wine. Not that I had a clue what I was doing, it was just tradition and I liked it. And next year when I am standing in front of the liquor store display, I know I will find it hard to choose an opaque paper-based bottle of whisky over the warm inviting appeal of the amber fluid in a nicely lit glass bottle. If I’m honest, given the choice I might

even go for the glass one. This is where people need leadership. Humans are not termites, selflessly working for the greater good. If we were, we might not be in such a pickle now. The fact is we will take the easier, more comfortable, more desirable path at every turn. This is why we go to the gym for exercise; we could easily do the workout at home, but we need the peer pressure and the instructor to help us do what we know must be done. As a company, Apple is very good at this. They know what the market needs, and even to a certain extent what the market wants, often before the market knows. I have often heard people complaining about some innovation forced on its customers by the ‘control freaks’ at Apple. And yet it usually doesn’t take long for these innovations to become essential, and then everyone else (the competition) follows suit. The big corporations of the world are de facto leaders which can lead the way, certainly with regard to the environment, more effectively than governments (which are voted in and out by weak willed people). So hats off to Diageo, and a stern look at Coca Cola, who should have more corporate courage and do the right thing.

Croquet is cock-a-hoop By Jeremy Smith

Leamington Croquet Club is back in full swing and members are having a ball postCovid-19. Newly-elected president Sean Brady and club captain June Pirrett were both installed in their respective roles at the club’s latest annual meeting less than a month ago - their unified goal is clear. Sean takes over as president from Lyn Toka, who after seven years in the role will step down and continue on the committee as vice-president. June steps into the shoes of Rosemary Bublitz, who has been the club’s captain for five years – she’ll remain on the committee as the club’s regional delegate. “After lockdown, it’s fantastic to be out playing again,” Sean told the News. “Because, for many people, what we hear from them is that they really love the social aspect of seeing everyone while they play.” Both Sean and June are now aiming to attract more people – the club currently has about 30 members on its books – to the sport. “It’s a game for all ages and we’d love to see some younger people coming along and getting involved as well, it’s quick and easy to learn,” Sean said. “Croquet is an ideal sport for anyone who

likes a little light exercise in the open air. It’s really fun to play. “The club has players with a wide range of capabilities and levels of play so you will fit in wherever you feel most comfortable.” There are two types of croquet, the association form of the game and golf croquet - the “less complicated” discipline of the two and the one played at the Scott Stbased club. In golf croquet, competitors, whether as a single players or in pairs, play between two sides — the blue and black balls versus the red and yellow balls. In singles each player plays two balls in doubles each player plays the same ball throughout the game. Points are scored by hitting the ball through the hoops in a specific sequence – the winner is the first to reach seven points. June said an aspect she enjoys is that an option open for those who want it is to play at regional competitions such as the Midland League and the Kaimai Challenge. At the Leamington club, game days happen on all three grass playing lawns on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. The 2020 croquet season is set to get rolling in September.

Bridge battle date is set

Cambridge’s annual Battle of the Bridge sports tourney has been chalked in for September 26. The event, which has grown in popularity and draws big crowds, would have been held July but for the Covid interruption. Co-organiser Mark Nogaj said Covid had forced a reset of the domestic rugby and netball calendars. He is working on plans for the event and says it will feature some “additional aspects which will be announced soon”. “One aspect we can state for sure is the ladies’ tug-of-war will be now a proper stand-alone event in its own right and significance, rather than a half-time bit of fun. “The netball aspect is looking good from what I hear, with plenty of enthusiasm to grow that part of the tournament. “We are also looking at having the Cambridge High School First XV game there and also there’s a possibility of a special Legends Game.” He said the event would be capped off with a prizegiving and celebration at the Hautapu Sports Club rooms. The Cambridge News is the anchor sponsor for the event.

It’s full throttle for young riders By Jeremy Smith

A newly-formed Cambridge Middle School motocross team is tracking towards success – despite the brakes being applied to events because of Covid-19. When the team did last compete - at the North King Country Schools Challenge in Otorohanga in March - the middle school riders placed 16th out of the 93 competing schools. The round formed part of the 2020 Inter-School Motocross Challenge – further dates have been pushed back thanks to lockdown. Made up of Luke Eades, Connor Mellsopp, Lulu Flintoff, William Pluck and Moss Kerwish, the team was formed after discussions between the middle school’s sports co-ordinator Anita Hawkins and Connor’s dad Andrew.

Riders in the middle school team are aged between 10 and 12. “Initially for me, it was about providing Connor with something to do to get out and about and active,” Andrew said. “And it’s fantastic others wanted to get involved. It’s really not about me, it’s about the kids and helping them have fun.” He said the riders had also been encouraged as businesses around town – including main sponsor MTF Finance - as well as Repco Cambridge, Hautapu Country Store and Farm Source Morrinsville had come on board to support them. The team will now turn its attention to the next challenge round to be held in Rotorua in October. Then, further challenge events are set for Whakatane and Whangarei.

Archer tops podium in US By Andy McGechan

It was probably just a matter of time before Kiwi dirt bike ace Rachael Archer topped the podium in the United States. The 18-year-old from Ngaroma, near Te Awamutu, has long been a frontrunner, even against the men, on the cross-country scene in New Zealand and now she’s turning heads in the United States as well, consistently finishing among the frontrunners in the elite WXC (women’s cross-country) section of the massive Grand National Cross-country Championships (GNCC). And at the weekend she finally achieved her dream, recording her first class win and topping the podium for the day. South Carolina based Archer made her debut in the GNCC series last year for the AmPro Yamaha Team. The series is internationally renowned, with races scheduled all along the east coast of the US. Archer celebrated winning her two-hour WXC class race at the weekend’s eighth round of 13 in the series at Maidsville, West Virginia, cementing her spot at third overall in her class.

“The track was 9.5 miles (15 kilometres) long, very dusty and really rooty, so I knew I had to get out the front quickly to stay out of the dust, which I did,” she said. She was chased hard by Becca Sheets who caught her on lap three. “I rode as fast as I could and made a lot of sketchy passes around lapped

Champion choices

Chives, chowder and chicken — a tasty trio of winter winners. Chives are the most delicate member of the onion family and have been enjoyed for at least 5000 years. They can be used in just about any recipe which requires a smidgeon of raw onion for flavouring. Best of all they are home garden naturals. Chives marry well with cream and cottage cheeses, scrambled eggs and omelettes. They’re convenient garnishes and — together with finely chopped parsley, tarragon and chervil —are ‘fines herbes’, a mainstay of French cooking. Chowder is one of the heartiest of soups — a great winter lunch or dinner. The word chowder is a corruption of the French chaudière (cauldron), and this soup/stew may have originated among Breton fishermen who migrated to Canada taking the custom to Newfoundland where it’s popularity quickly spread. Although originally a seafood speciality, today it may contain meat and is often thickened with potatoes and corn. Extraordinarily, in 2018 New Zealanders enjoyed over 43 kilograms of chicken per capita. And consumption is growing. Chicken is quick to cook, highly nutritious and versatile. In a stir-fry, curry, Mexican chilli, Moroccan casserole or French roast — chicken is a winning choice. CHIVE SOUFFLÉ The chives provide a whiff of onion flavour to this tempting light meal. Serve with a green salad. 500g potatoes, peeled and chopped 1/2 cup sour cream 3/4 cup shredded tasty cheese pinch salt 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard 3 tablespoons finely chopped chives 3 eggs, separated Preheat the oven to 180°C. Lightly butter a 1.5 litre soufflé dish. Boil or steam the potatoes until tender. Mash well. Add the sour cream, cheese, salt, mustard and chives. Mix well.

Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Beat the egg yolks, until smooth. Stir into the hot potato mixture. Fold in the egg whites. Pour into the prepared soufflé dish. Bake for about 35-40 minutes. Serve immediately. Garnish with extra chives, if desired. Serves 4. CRISPY RANCH CHICKEN I served this with a mash prepared from 1/4 medium cauli, (chopped and cooked), a 1/4 cup each of chopped parsley and grated tasty cheese and 1 tablespoon of butter. 4 large skinned and boned chicken thighs, 1/2 cup ranch dressing 4 cups corn chips (1 1/2 cups crushed) Halve the chicken thighs and place in a shallow dish. Pour the dressing over the chicken and move around to coat evenly. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Lightly oil a roasting pan. Crush the corn chips until they resemble coarse breadcrumbs. Place on a plate. Dip the thighs into the chips to coat evenly. Place in a single layer in the roasting pan. Bake for 40-45 minutes until golden and cooked. Serves 4.

SEAFOOD CHOWDER 25g butter 1 each: medium onion, carrot, celery stalk (no leaves), diced White Sauce: 25g butter, softened 1/4 cup plain flour 1 cup cream 2 cups milk 1/2 cup water Fish combo: 250g smoked mussels, finely diced or minced 2 cloves garlic, crushed 1/2 teaspoon diced chilli 1 medium-large potato, peeled, diced and steamed until just tender 1 cup whole kernel corn 250g skinned and boned fish, cubed 1 tablespoon each: oyster sauce, fish sauce extra milk, optional Melt the butter in a large saucepan and add the onion, carrot and celery. Cook on low until the vegetables are softened. Combine the 25g of butter and the flour. Stir into the vegetables gradually and cook on low for 1 minute. Combine the cream, milk and water and warm through in the microwave. Stir into the saucepan mixture, then add the diced mussels, garlic, chilli, potatoes and corn. Cook on low for 30 minutes, stirring often. Add the fish, oyster and fish sauces and extra milk if too thick. Simmer gently until cooked. Serves 4-5. Business Showcase

Champs extend win run Hautapu remain unbeaten – now for over a year – after a 36-31 win over Ōtorohanga and host Morrinsville in the main game in Cambridge this weekend. Ōtorohanga, who still head the table thanks to bonus points, travel to Melville and Te Awamutu Sports host University. Hautapu completed the

2019 season winning every game they played, and ahead of this weekend have the sole perfect record in the 2020 competition. Melville’s winning start to the campaign was punctuated by a 29-29 draw at home to Morrinsville last weekend and they remain the third of three teams with a break on the field.

In the corresponding Premire B fixture Ōtorohanga’s development side ran out 45-17 winners. Ōtorohanga was strong in defence and denied Hautapu multiple attacking opportunities. But Hautapu did lead early on, having conceded the first try of the game, Hautapu hit back, with a bit of luck of the bounce of the ball, through Josh Gore. Bodie Mechell converted and then added a penalty. That was the only and last time Hautapu Development was in the lead. Ōtorohanga took charge and scored 33

Yearbury second By Andy McGechan

Canterbury rider Hamish Macdonald won a world enduro championship title before he won a New Zealand one, but he completed that “unfinished business” at the weekend. The 21-year-old from Christchurch pipped Cambridge’s Dylan Yearbury to the New Zealand Enduro Championships last weekend near Bulls. The domestic title victory came a year after he had won the 2019 125cc Youth Enduro GP World Championships. The four-round Yamaha-sponsored 2020 New Zealand series, abbreviated because of Covid, went to the wire at back-to-back rounds three and four in the Santoft Forest. Macdonald started the weekend third in the championship, but when he won round three on the sandy course on Saturday, he was suddenly propelled into the series lead. Yearbury and Whanganui’s defending champion, Seth Reardon, finished fourth and seventh respectively on Saturday. When Macdonald backed that up by also winning the day overall on Sunday, the title was his, Yearbury left in second and Reardon third overall.

Leamington Rugby Sports Club – Cambridge OLD TIMERS AND SPONSORS DAY SATURDAY 1st AUGUST

THURSDAY JULY 16, 2020

Blues stay top Drew Bootten’s 100th game for Leamington saw him lead the side out – and enjoy an 83-3 romp as the Stags retained their perfect record in Waikato Division 1 rugby. Bootton has clocked up his century in just over five seasons for the Senior A team and he has played 80 minutes in almost every game during that time. Opponents Taupiri, struggling this season at both Division 1 and reserve level, showed spirit to restrict the home side to just one try in the first quarter. Set piece superiority and a fast backline finally wore down the visitors and the score started ticking over. Leamington led 31-3 at the break, the second half carried on in the same vein and Leamington had topped the 80-point

mark at fulltime. The 5 Stags senior player of the day was Taco Hart The Senior B clash was a walkover as Taupiri was unable to field a team. Leamington’s Carricks Financial Partners Under 85kg produced a gutsy performance in going down 44-31 to Hamilton Marist. Nick Bolger and Robert Day scored doubles, and Zach Murray scored a fine five-pointer in the corner too. Robert Day chipped in with three conversations and he shared player of the day honours with Slade Siameja and Bolger. Leamington head to Tokoroa to play Southern United this weekend, as do the colts, while the Under-85kg host Otorohanga. Leamington’s Masters host Taupiri tomorrow at 6pm.

Cool Reds regain winning form

WE THRIVE ON BEING DIFFERENT

Two trips to Auckland are the next challenges facing Cambridge’s Reds in their efforts to climb football’s Northern League ladder. This weekend, the Reds head to Mangere Mountain where they’ll play Onehunga Mangere on the side of a volcano. A week later they return to Auckland to face in-form Fencibles United. After a poor start to the delayed Lotto NRFL season, Cambridge cleared the foot of the second division table last weekend with a tense 4-1 win against another Auckland club, Greenhithe Catimba. Keeping their cool was the key to the Reds’ success. Catimba’s ill discipline saw them receive five yellow cards, a sending off and the awarding of three penalties to the home side. To the delight of the John Kerkhof Park spectators, Cambridge scored from all three spot kicks. First, Ewan Donald scored from the spot after 16 minutes; he doubled the lead with another penalty on the half-hour. Catimba pulled a goal back in the second half but Mike Cosgrave gave Cambridge a 3-1 lead, smashing home a third penalty in the 66th minute.

has performed above expectations in a tight division in which only one point separates the leading five teams. At Mangakino, the home side belied their bottom placing in the league for 20 minutes, holding out the freescoring Cambridge team. However, on 20 minutes, Astrid Howarth found the net to give Cambridge the lead. Lorena Herrera doubled Cambridge’s lead on 34 minutes and on the stroke of half-time, Sophie Young set up Mariela Robledo who

Josh Clarkin finished the scoring with a coolly taken goal from an angle with two minutes left. Head coach Paul Richardson said he was happy with the win but he felt the team’s performance was not as good as in their three previous games, in which they lost them all by a single goal. “It just goes to show the high standard of the competition this year,” he said. In the reserves match, Cambridge lost 3-1 after leading early through captain Devon Andrews.

The club’s third team remain in touch with the leaders in the WaiBOP Championship despite a goalless draw at Te Puke United. The side has conceded only three goals in its five games this year but needs to regain its goalscoring touch. Player of the Day at Te Puke was Luke Ashby. Meanwhile, Cambridge moved to the top of the Waikato Women’s Division Two competition with an emphatic 5-0 win at Mangakino United. The team is rebuilding with young players and

made the score 3-0 at the break. Again, Mangakino put up strong resistance early in the second half but Howarth scored her second goal from the penalty spot in the 70th minute. Eight minutes later, Robledo completed her double in the game. In the Waikato Men’s Division Two, Cambridge pulled off a 1-0 win at Northern United. The winner was scored by Ben Dixon who followed up a Peter Buesnel shot that rebounded off the upright.

Co-Players of the Day were Thomas Rea and Tom Gifford. In Waikato Division 5, the club’s D1 side secured its first win of the seaon, beating Claudelands Rovers Newbies 4-0. Goalscorers were Tony Dikmans, with a volley from outside the box, Jamie Coomber, Fabian Burgos and Richard Collette. The D2 team – still needing a win – drew 3-3 at Waikato Unicol. Andy Myers scored all three goals, combining each time with Rory Ford.

distinctive forms of the various species, while up close and personal we also become more aware of the beauty of their bark. Here are four examples to look for:

Golden birch (Betula ermanii)

Red-stemmed maple (Acer Senkaki)

Snake-bark maple (Acer capillipes)

London plane tree (Platanus x acerifolia)

Dylan Ferguson has kept himself in the hunt for the New Zealand Junior Drivers Premiership. The Waikato horseman reined home Sunset Red to win over 2200m for his employer Graeme Rogerson before steering stablemate Romanee to victory in the following race at Cambridge Raceway last week. “All of our horses have been racing really well, we just needed that bit of luck,” Ferguson said. “Sunset Red got a great trip. They went hard in front and it worked out perfectly for her. “Romanee getting the ace draw was the winning of the race. He is a nice little horse and will get better.” Ferguson brought his season tally to 29 wins, one win behind premiership leader John Morrison. With the premiership becoming a tightly tested affair, it could make the New Zealand Junior Driver Championship later this month even more exciting. “Tonight has given me half a hope (in the premiership),” Ferguson said. “… I’m not going down without a fight anyway. “With the junior driver championships coming up that gives me an extra two meetings. It could be that weekend that is the deciding

double, he was disappointed with the performance of enigmatic trotter Delson, who burnt punters once again. “It’s back to the drawing board with him again,” Ferguson said. “He won’t be seen for the next few weeks, we have got to try and sort him out. “He has got a big motor, but he is a headscratcher.” Rogerson’s other trotter on the night, Miss Slippers, was also backed into favouritism in her contest, however, she

She had a couple of hard runs up there. “She still tries hard and wasn’t too far away at the finish.

German success continues

Bloodstock agent Paul Moroney pioneered sourcing German bloodlines for New Zealand clients and more than 30 years later his judgment of the European stock is still paying off. In 1986, on behalf of the Cambridge Stud partnership, he bought a half-sister to the previous year’s Epsom Derby (Gr.1, 2400m) winner Slip Anchor. “Her name was Set Sail and she ended up being the Grandam of Auckland Cup (Gr.1, 3200m) winner Upsetthym,” Moroney said. “It was unheard of to be importing German families into New Zealand way back then.” Three years ago, Moroney selected the German-bred Galileo mare Igraine as a racing and breeding proposition for clients Trelawney Stud out of the Tattersalls December Sale, and that purchase looks to have been a masterstroke for the New Zealand breeding industry. Her success on the track led to two other New Zealand breeders purchasing half-sisters to Igraine, and all three were elated when watching their half-brother In Swoop take out the Gr.1 Deutsches Derby (2400m) at Hamburg on Sunday. Moroney was instrumental in purchasing

TRUSTED FOR GENERATIONS Igraine has proved to be an excellent buy.

two of the three mares that now reside in New Zealand and he said he is delighted for all three owners with Sunday’s result. He said Igraine was a great buy - a Galileo mare out of an Oaks winner, and a half-sister to a German Group One winner already. Moroney advised Trelawney Stud principals Brent and Cherry Taylor to persevere with her racing career in New Zealand, and that decision was the catalyst to bring two of her halfsisters to New Zealand. With Igraine performing so well on the track, Moroney kept an eye on her siblings and enquired about purchasing her half-sister Indah. “I went back to one of my associates in Germany and said to him I had been following her half-sister Indah and was there any

chance we could buy her as well,” Moroney said. “He got hold of the owners and they said that she was for sale and put a price on her. “The Sunlight Trust people, Murray and Marg Hardy and Paddy Preston, had asked me to find some bloodstock for them and had shown interest in buying something out of Europe. “They decided last spring to get her in-foal. She is due to foal shortly to Vadamos.” Valachi Downs principals Kevin and Jo Hickman were the third New Zealand party to be celebrating In Swoop’s Derby success on Sunday, having purchased his halfsister Iojo. “It’s a brand-new bloodline for New Zealand that could create a dynasty given the high-class of that female line,” Moroney said. – NZ Racing Desk

We hope you enjoy reading about some of the great things Cambridge has on offer to help you live life – and your retirement – to the full.

July Celebrating life with a unique and memorable service

Funeral director Jono Gibson believes funerals are a time to celebrate people in a way that “truly captures their life story”.

2020

ono Gibson’s career as a funeral director began in Auckland seven years ago, where he worked at two prominent funeral homes. He thoroughly enjoyed working with people and hearing stories of those whose lives and achievements were being celebrated, and quickly realised it was an ideal career ﬁt for him. Jono and his wife Ashleigh, who were married in Cambridge, moved here nearly two years ago after they saw a position at Cambridge Funerals advertised. “I really enjoyed working in Auckland, but had always wanted to move back to a smaller town, so the timing was perfect,” Jono said. This provided him with an opportunity to step into a management role, and he has enjoyed the challenges

and learning that have arisen from that. Cambridge Funerals is owned by the Legacy Trust, a charitable trust that distributes all proﬁts back into the community. “Being able to support local charities in my

Being able to support local charities in my community gives me a great sense of pride.” community gives me a great sense of pride,” Jono said. He wholeheartedly believes that while funerals are a sad time, they are also a time to celebrate people in a way that “truly captures their life story”. “While funeral services

tend to be more traditional in Cambridge, I enjoy individualising each occasion to create a special and unique service for those left behind,” he said. Jono is uncompromising in striving to provide families with the highest possible levels of service to ensure their needs are met. “Funerals are only done once, so it’s important to do them right,” he said. Cambridge Funerals’ policy is to exceed customer expectations with every funeral it is involved with. It oﬀers complete bereavement care, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to families in the wider Cambridge area. “We are committed to caring for you at a diﬃcult time, providing support, comfort and advice,” Jono said.

Internet banking take the plunge Using internet banking

for the first time can be as scary as doing a bungee jump, says Age Concern executive officer and Waipa resident Brent Nielsen.

We want to help everyone live a life with ‘soul’ - a meaningful life enhanced by a feeling of purpose and fulfilment.

Residents are spoilt for choice with activities, events and outings and can enjoy easy access to

the indoor heated pool, spa, gym and media room. The beautifully restored homestead – Whare Ora is a great space where residents pull together so many activities it’s hard to keep up. There’s a range of spacious architecturallydesigned two and threebedroom villas with vaulted ceilings, double glazing, heat pumps and outdoor living areas that are framed by beautiful gardens. Development plans include a new care centre and Living Well apartment complex to provide assisted living, rest home accommodation and specialised dementia care. Lauriston Park is within easy walking distance

of Leamington Village with shops and services including a dentist, a physiotherapist and a pharmacy. Lake Karapiro’s walking and cycling trails are only 10 kilometres away. Jenny Fraser, our Village Manager would love to meet you and show you around Lauriston Park and have a chat about your personal needs and what you’re looking for in your next home.

“Some people are simply fearful of using a computer,” he said. “They’ve heard a bad story once and that continues to resonate with them.”

But internet banking was “very safe”, and learning to use it was becoming increasingly important, he said.

“During lockdown lots of older people who relied on traditional cash found it difficult to access that. In addition, we’ve had recent news of bank branch closures, and most banks are signalling they won’t accept cheques in a year’s time. So there is a real drive to improve financial literacy and internet banking literacy.” On July 1 ASB announced it would permanently close nine branches in main cities, and move 25 nationwide branches to operating only three days a week by August 3.

Executive general manager retail banking Craig Sims said Kiwis’ expectations of their banks were changing. “In the past five years for example, at ASB we’ve seen a 42 per cent decline in branch transactions, and now 85 per cent of our personal customers prefer the convenience of our online and mobile services,” he said.

“Since lockdown in March around 13,500 customers have used our digital channels for the first time to do their banking and they’re continuing to do so.” Age Concern is encouraging older people to embrace online banking and feel confident using it. “We’ve got lots of information and we can provide people with support or advice,” Mr Nielsen said.

“Banks also employ people who are extremely good at helping you learn how to use this technology and you can either visit a branch or they’ll help you over the phone.”

How often should you renew your will? The New Zealand Law Society recommends reviewing your will regularly, say, every five years or whenever your circumstances change, for example: • if you marry or enter into a civil union or de facto relationship • when such a relationship ends • if additional children (or grandchildren in some cases) are born • if a trustee or significant beneficiary named in the will dies

• if your assets or debts change significantly. You should also review your will if the law changes. Some major changes in recent years have affected wills so if you have not already done so, check to see if your will is still valid and if it is likely to be challenged under any of the new laws. If your will has been made since 1 November 2007, it is probably valid under the new laws.

Volunteer Visitors Wanted Do you have time for older people? You could be a volunteer visitor. Are you friendly and enjoy a chat? Able to give about an hour per week on a regular basis? Your visits will make a real difference in an older person’s life. We will match you with someone with similar interests to you who lives in your local area

Time is the greatest gift you can give. If this sounds like you, we need you!!!

Neville takes the reins at Linda Jones After an unconventional start to his new role as Village Manager at Ryman Healthcare’s Linda Jones Retirement Village in Hamilton right in the middle of lockdown, Neville Parkinson is ready for a new chapter to finally begin. He comes fresh from five years at the helm of Ryman’s Kiri Te Kanawa village in his hometown of Gisborne. “ W e ’ d finished building the village, occupancy was full, the reputation was good, our surveys were in the top 10 for the country, we’d earned a four-year certification and there was a really stable team in place. “It felt like a good time to move to a bigger challenge!” Neville’s introduction to Ryman began in 2014 after he saw an ad for the village manager role and soon found himself

meeting then CEO Simon Challies. “I was really impressed that the CEO would take the time to interview the village manager and it showed me that they treated

those roles with a high degree of importance.” That importance was certainly underlined when Covid-19 hit and older people were identiﬁed as being most at risk from the highly infectious disease. Ryman quickly put strict measures in

place to restrict visitors coming into its 36 villages and redeployed staff to deliver groceries, mail and Happy Hour goodies to residents’ doors. “The effort Ryman made to make sure everyone was safe was huge and all the residents here tell me they have been showing off to their mates,” he laughs. With 127 residents already calling Linda Jones their home, Neville is looking forward to welcoming many more to the village and building those relationships again. “We will soon have our village centre open which means we’ll be able to host our own functions and our residents will be able to enjoy all the benefits of being in a retirement village. “I’m really looking forward to that.”

Dave van den Beuken, Dennis Dangaran, Jan Baybayan and Jenny Buckley on farm on Monday.

By Jeremy Smith

• Grass silage • Round baling • Loader wagon • Full cultivation • Earthworks • Drilling • Cartage • Striptill

A Waipā couple who pride themselves on building their business around “a real sense of family” have welcomed news the government plans to relax certain visa regulations. Employer assisted temporary work visas due to expire by the end of the year will be extended six months. There are about 3000 dairy farm employees whose temporary visas are due to expire, and both DairyNZ and Federated Farmers have praised the extentions. Jenny Buckley and Dave van den Beuken are 50/50 sharemilkers for Trish and Paul Jones. Dave and Jenny, who trade under the name Jaydee Partnership, are two more who have joined that chorus in favour of the announcement. In their case, two of the three staff they employ on their Victoria Rd, Cambridge, farm – Dennis Dangaran and Jan Baybayan - are Filipino. The pair have five and four years respective experience on the property – where the team milks 520 cows on a 170 effective hectare dairy platform. “It is helpful – it certainly takes the pressure off,” Dave said. Dave and Jenny also have a relief milker, Irene “Goldie” Raroa – Jenny said all of their staff are like family. “You build really close relationships with them,” she said. It would be “devastating” if something was to happen which jeopardised Dennis and Jan’s ability to work in New Zealand. “They’re such hard workers – and so respectful.” Dave said there’s a lot at stake for the pair when working in New Zealand. “They’ve already made huge sacrifices to be here. And then there is the fact that they send

money from their pay checks back home to their families in the Philippines. “Family wise the sacrifices are massive.” In Jan’s case, his wife Imy is here with him in New Zealand – but their children are back in The Philippines being looked after by his parents. Dennis and his wife Jessel have a daughter who was born in New Zealand. For Dave and Jenny, there is another positive - when hired, many Filipino workers arrive on farm already having at least two years dairy farming experience. They need that experience to qualify for a visa in New Zealand and for most, it is gained in Saudi Arabia. “For us as employers it means we don’t have to train them up when they are new to the farm, and they come ready to get into work,” Dave said. “Obviously, for newly-hired workers who are new to the industry it can be up to a year before they are familiar with a farming calendar – such and calving, cropping and the other elements,” Jenny added. Dennis and Jan told the News they both love working in New Zealand and are grateful for the way Dave and Jenny look after them. “They know what we need here in New Zealand,” Jan said of his bosses. “I am able to send money back home to the Philippines.” Dennis added that he loves waking up every day in the “beautiful scenery” around the farm. In a joint statement released last week, DairyNZ people team leader Jane Muir described the six-month visa extension as excellent news “The dairy sector, farm employers and our farm employees on temporary visas have been calling on the government to provide a solution. We are pleased they have listened,” she said.

Book giveaway TOUGH COUNTRY

Tall Tales of Bushmen, Bulldozers and Back-Country Blokes by MIKE BELLAMY In the 1970s and 80s, Barry Bellamy was a fair old bushman who worked as an agricultural contractor, fencing, scrub-cutting, bulldozing away in the back blocks of the North Island, traversing the backcountry from Hawke's Bay to the far north. Tough Country is Mike Bellamy's story about his father, Barry who many thought to be the inspiration behind Barry Crump’s fictitious character Sam Cash. It is a quintessentially Kiwi tale from a bygone era of era of bushmen, scrub-cutters, hunters and shepherds. Mike Bellamy spent his school holidays working for his father on various jobs in the North Island. He worked for his old man for a while after leaving school, but he often didn’t get paid so he exchanged the backblocks for a job working at a 5-star Auckland hotel as a teenager. He soon discovered calling people ‘sir’ or ‘madam’ didn’t sit well. After operating earthmoving machines around Auckland for a few years, he moved to Western Australia where he worked in the mining and civil construction industry for over 25 years. He now lives in Auckland, and when he’s not working he can be found bobbing around the Hauraki Gulf, fishing from his kayak. Published by HarperCollins New Zealand Cambridge News has a copy of Tough Country to give away. To get your free book send an email with your name in the Subject line to jeremy@goodlocal.nz

Fieldays wire winners COUNTRY LIFE

A Dali-inspired sculptural artwork by Napier artist Asaki Kajima and entitled Space Cow won the 2020 Fieldays No.8 Wire National Art Award. The work was selected earlier this month from 28 finalists, among them Cambridge’s ‘Leonaldo’ and Te Awamutu’s Toni van der Hulst. All the finalists’ works are on display at Hamilton’s ArtsPost until August 3. Details are from the museum’s website (www.waikatomuseum.co.nz), and all artworks in the exhibition are for sale. Ms Kajima’s win came with a $5000 award. Competition judge James Wright said: “I’m very much a hands-on person and in this piece you see the hand of the maker. It’s raw and simplistic, but it’s heartfelt and that comes through. It’s how a farmer sees the animal when it’s hung, but it’s also an artwork you see on three levels with the shadows it throws.” Mr Wright said the exhibition provided a wonderful vehicle for a genuinely New Zealand No.8 wire creative mentality, adding that the decision to select a winner had been difficult because the quality of all the artworks was very high. “The ability within our artistic community to turn an agricultural supply material into a compelling creative work is impressive. Everyone who can, should take the opportunity to visit this uniquely Kiwi art exhibition.” The annual award is managed by Waikato Museum Te Whare Taonga o Waikato. It challenges artists to create

CAMBRIDGE NEWS | 27

sculptures using No.8 wire and other agricultural materials. Waikato Museum director Cherie Meecham said the award has become “a focal point for artists around the country interested in taking up a special challenge to reflect part of our national ethos”. In presenting the awards, NZ National Fieldays Society president James Allen said: “Despite the challenges of the past few months, the award highlights the resilience and innovation of the rural community in artform. The works are a real credit to the creativity of Kiwis, even in uncertain times. It’s wonderful to see the return of the event and it comes right in time for Fieldays Online.” Kelvyn Eglinton, CEO of award sponsors Momentum Waikato, said: “We are always keen to further expand and diversify our support for the arts, which is why we are building the Waikato Regional Theatre. The Covid-19 crisis has prompted rural communities to look at longterm funding and impact investment strategies to improve their social resilience, so partnering with Fieldays is a great opportunity to introduce them to the opportunity we represent. We’re really chuffed to be a part of the No.8 Wire National Art Award.” The runner-up award plus $800 went to Anna Gedson from the Bay of Plenty’s Opotiki, for a piece entitled Specimens, and third place plus $300 went to Taupo’s Jack Gower for his Asaki Kajima with her winning work, piece entitled Piupiu: Reflections.

Confidence in Feds team Federated Farmers Chief Executive Terry Copeland is confident the newly-elected national board encompasses the depth of experience and expertise needed to maintain the organisation’s role as an effective voice for all farmers. “Feds has been a grass rootsdriven organisation for all of its 120 years and the elected leaders of our 24 provinces and our six industry groups have chosen high-calibre and committed people to sit at our top table,” Copeland says. Manawatu dairy farmer Andrew Hoggard is new president after a three-year term as vice president. Copeland said Hoggard had proved himself as an energetic and able representative, especially in his roles as spokesperson on climate change, commerce and connectivity. Wairarapa farmer Karen Williams, who has a background in resource management and environmental planning, finished her term as Arable Industry Group Chair and takes on the Vice-President role. The new Arable Chair is South Canterbury’s Colin Hurst, the 2019 ‘Arable Farmer of the Year’. New blood on the national board includes Golden Bay Provincial President and ‘YOLO Farmer’ Wayne

Outgoing President Katie Milne catch up with the new President, Andrew Hoggard, before the national annual meeting.

Langford, who has just taken up the reins as Dairy Industry Group Chair, and Wairarapa Provincial President William Beetham, who is the new Meat & Wool Industry Group Chair. For the two board ‘at large’ positions, the provincial delegates have voted to retain the knowledge and experience of the two Chris’s - Waikato’s Chris Lewis, who finishes his term as Dairy Chair, and Canterbury’s Chris Allen, who has been integral to Federated Farmers’ advocacy on complicated water and biodiversity issues over the last six years. Andrew Hoggard says the outgoing President, Katie Milne, had set a high standard. “They’re big gumboots to

fill. She brought her own style to the role and made it a priority to increase the level of understanding between urban and rural New Zealand. “I want to continue that work, and also the advocacy we’ve been doing with central and local government politicians and officials on getting them to recognise that policies and regulations need to achieve a balance between protecting the environment and preserving livelihoods, always keeping practicality and cost-effectiveness in mind.” Andrew also thanked retiring board members Miles Anderson (Meat & Wool) and Andrew Maclean (at large) for their hard work and dedication.

Does the following sound like you? If so, we want to hear from you. • I always listen to news on radio and read news online and in print. • I think on my feet, I can produce copy quickly and accurately – and I am a skilled interviewer. • I’m comfortable taking pictures. • I know my community – from sports clubs to local body politicians. • I’m computer literate and proficient with MS Office. The new Te Awamutu News reporter will report to the news editor and discuss job assignments, how stories will be presented and how to make the most of resources available. This position will be a 10-15 hour a week role, but the hours will be flexible and often determined by the timing of events and the availability of contacts. It is expected the successful applicant will have had experience in working in media. This is an all-rounder position – the successful applicant will generate stories and be adept at reworking supplied copy and assist with proof reading. This position will require the reporter to be out in the field regularly, but also able to work collegially with a small team of sales and layout staff. Applicants for this position must have NZ residency or a valid NZ work visa. You will need a reliable vehicle and a clean driver’s licence. We offer a competitive freelance hourly rate based on the skills and experience of the successful applicant. Application close date: Monday July 31, 2020. If this sounds like the role for you, please email your C.V. and letter of application to Roy Pilott, Good Local Media Ltd on editor@goodlocal.nz
