Friends in high places

By Steph Bell-Jenkins

Ten-year-old Elliot Ismay organised a day of fun for his schoolmates last week that raised nearly $2500 for the Waikato Westpac Rescue Helicopter service.

The year six student teamed up with friends James Morgan, Daniel Hill and Marcus Tadema to create Goodwood School’s inaugural “Flight Festival” and was delighted with its success.

“I was like, wow! I didn’t expect anything like that,” Elliot said. “People were very generous.”

Students were invited to wear red and make a donation to take part in fun, flight-related activities such as bottle rocket launching and paper plane competitions.

There were also three VIP tours of the Westpac rescue helicopter base raffled thanks to Elliot’s friend Bill McNeilly, who took part in the day.

Elliot met Bill at Waikato Hospital last year.

“My dad had a collapsed lung, so I visited him lots and I liked looking at the rescue helicopters taking off and landing while I was there,” Elliot said. “I got really interested in them.”

As a birthday surprise, his mother Nicky arranged for him to tour the hospital hangar.

“I met two crew, one of which, Bill, offered to come to my school to talk about

his job,” Elliot said.

Elliot was so inspired

by Bill’s talk he decided to create the Flight Day fundraiser The school community

raised $1478 and Elliot’s father’s employers, Ken and Julie McKenzie from engineering company Innerscape, chipped in another $1000.

“I’d like to say a really big thanks to everybody for supporting the festival and making it happen, including Innerscape Cambridge for making an amazing

donation,” Elliot said.

Goodwood School principal David Graham said he was impressed by the initiative shown by Elliot and his friends.

“Our school vision is all about curiosity, caring, connection and making a difference and this is a perfect example of our vision in action,” he said.

Organiser Elliot Ismay hands over a cheque for $2478 to crew member Bill McNeilly Westpac Rescue Helicopter Bill McNeilly and friends.

The Cambridge News is published by Good Local Media Ltd and is the most widely distributed newspaper in Cambridge and rural surrounds.

A glass act If you are curious as to why Cambridge is nominated again for the Most Beautiful Town Award, this morning was a shining example. As the recycling truck stopped to empty a blue bin, one glass jar shattered on the kerb. The driver took the effort to climb out, holding a brush and pan, to make our town a better place. Her actions really lifted my spirit.

Onne Hiemstra, Cambridge Will they listen?

It is not through years of legal and political experience that I expect councils to accept my letters to papers as a ‘heads up’ in such areas as council core facilities and forward thinking on such matters as building permits needing to incorporate water storage tanks and rainwater ‘rooftop catchment’ for all new dwellings to at least stimulate Waipā District Council (and other councils) to openly discuss that issue with their constituents.

I have never been surprised that councils have usually given me the upraised middle digit in the form of the total ‘ignore’ when papers have printed my letters on such subjects in the past. I am highly pleased now that a high profile ‘lettered’ person such as Regional Council Chairman, Ross Rimmington, is now strongly putting that same issue squarely on councils’ plates and in the public eye. It will now be under that same public scrutiny, if councillors and mayors try and avoid that essential and urgent consideration, or in fact vote against it.

It will also be a ‘sin of omission’ if councils delay bringing in water-tank provisions for new builds until after 100s of the proposed new builds in the districts are under way, thus allowing those hundreds of new builds to be a total drain on district water services for years to come, before they then come under the authority of retro-legislation costing the home owners much more to become compliant. The eyes of the public will be upon our council representatives on this issue. I wonder if they will rise to the challenge or just try and ‘tough it out’.

Dennis Pennefather, Te Awamutu Point of order, Mr Chairman While I agree whole heartedly with the sentiments expressed by Russ Rimmington I fear he is guilty of doing what several politicians world wide are doing and have done in the past. Mr Rimmington has pontificated making a very strong call for St Kilda residents to retro fit water storage tanks to store run off while .

I find it disturbing that he can feel so strongly about the issue but can be at the same time so ignorant of what has

happened in St Kilda I would suggest he do two things; 1. Find out what the covenants of the St Kilda Development actually require and 2. Spend his time and influence getting the rest of the Waikato region up to the standards set

by Matt Smith in his development. I feel Mr Rimmington has done him a great disservice.

The Cambridge News should publish the list of covenants and show how significant extra amounts of money have been spent on environmentally sustaining projects such as the creation of wetlands to absorb run off. Every house has had to put in place a 22,500 litre storage tank. Much has also been done to use solar power and insulation efficiently. High tension lines have been put underground.

St Kilda has demonstrated some features that will become useful in the future.

Garth Taylor, Cambridge Editor’s note: Thank you for pointing this out – the Cambridge News did not do its homework on this one. See story page 3.

Museum costs I, and no doubt many others, was shocked to read that two Te Awamutu Councillors were really disappointed that the $40 million option for the museum was rejected as being “unaffordable” by staff. The Mayor’s comment was “the community will never wear the $40 million tag”. Where did the $40 million come from? Ratepayers were always told of $16 million (also too high….).

Facebook also had a Stuff article on line and one councillor responded to a query with “it was a proposal from staff”. Are staff running council where council (as elected people) should be working for the residents? Remember the staff advised that the $40 million was unaffordable?

Has the $40 million been totally rejected?

Has the $16 million been accepted? If so, has all the external funding been achieved? Or is the $40 million a ruse to promote a higher sum than the $16 million so a “reduction in price” can be promoted?

Personally I do like history - but “promoting” the land wars as the idea for the museum?. Whose views are going to be put forward? How can the real history be promoted? From what year is the history being told? The real truth in history is a thin line/grey area. Who do you believe? Example: how big was that fish again? Whatever is displayed and promoted I certainly hope that the real story is being told.

Bernard Westerbaan, Chair, Te Awamutu Residents and Ratepayers Association Editor’s note: See story Page 5.

with Senior Constable DEB THURGOOD

Boy racers and children As your Community Liaison officer, I get contacted about a wide variety of things. Today, I thought I would cover off a couple of recent issues.

Firstly, I am aware that ‘boy racer’ activity is often reported around Leamington and Kaipaki areas.

Burnouts are not only illegal, but cause damage to the road surface and community nuisance. It is also dangerous as losing control of the vehicle can easily lead to serious injury and property damage.

Under the Land Transport Act 1998, a person who causes a vehicle to undergo a sustained loss of traction, operates a vehicle in a race or with an unreasonable exhibition of speed or acceleration or pours diesel, petrol etc on a road, is liable upon conviction for a penalty involving a term of imprisonment up to five years and or a fine up to $20,000.

There is also a mandatory disqualification from driving for a minimum of a year. The offence itself results in an immediate impound of the car used for 28 days. As soon as you see a vehicle doing burnouts or vehicles racing in a dangerous way, take note of the registration, a description of the car and of the driver and occupants…and call 111 with updates so we can catch them in the act. If you have mobile or dashcam video, let us know too.

Secondly, I return to the topic of children. I am aware that now more than ever, financial pressures are mounting in many families and there is a necessity for parents/caregivers to work. Nevertheless, I wanted to remind our community that it is illegal to leave a child without supervision in a house or vehicle until they are at least 14 years old. Under 14 years, they must be supervised at all times. Even at 14 years old however, caregivers and parents are required to ensure that the child is safe and not at unreasonable risk of harm.

You will need to consider whether your child has the level of maturity required to ensure their own safety for the length of time they will be unsupervised. Ask yourself if there will be responsible adult who would be available to them (for example a family member or neighbour) and are they aware of how and in what situation they should contact that person? Is that person aware your child is unsupervised and may need their help? Consider whether a responsible adult could check in on them. This requirement equally applies to when children are out and about – at the playground, walking home from school and at the shops.

On the other side of things, if you are concerned that a child/children in your neighbourhood are routinely being left home alone or without appropriate supervision, contact Oranga Tamariki or the Police. The care of children is the responsibility of us all, and by reporting an unsafe situation, as always, you provide the opportunity for supports to be put in place ASAP and avoid harm.

Until next week, keep that flow of information coming through.

Briefs…

Nearly there…

Cambridge’s largest roundabout will open soon to cars. The Hanlin Rd roundabout project was hampered by the Covid impact but Waipā District Council transportation manager Bryan Hudson says if all goes to plan, “we are on track for completion in November”.

New CEO named

Waikato Regional Council has made an internal appointment to succeed its outgoing chief executive.

Chris McLay has worked for almost 20 years at the council, holding an executive position in charge of the council’s regulatory responsibilities for the last 17 years. Vaughan Payne will leave the council to become the deputy chief executive, operations, at the New Zealand Institute of Skills and Technology in Hamilton.

Macrons added

Waipā District Council has won support from Local Government New Zealand in its bid to enable councils to avoid beauracratic delays and add macrons to Māori words – and clear the way for it to be Waipā District Council.

Trainer dies

Former Cambridge trainer Ray Cleaver has died after suffering a suspected stroke in Australia days after saddling up a runner at Mornington. Cleaver, 71, was based in Cranbourne and began his training career in Cambridge in 1976. He also rode 200 winners.

Train delayed

The Hamilton-to-Auckland commuter rail service Te Huia will start next year rather than before the end of 2020 as planned. The Waikato Regional Council says the November 2 date was put back because KiwiRail plans to carry out trackwork.

Clippers out for the head boy

By Viv Posselt

Scores of Cambridge High School students and several staff will line up on September 23 to have their heads shaved in support of one of their own.

The decision to take part in Shave for a Cure this year has been taken for the school’s head boy, Tommy O’Brien, who is undergoing treatment for testicular cancer. Tommy was diagnosed with the disease just before lockdown. He underwent surgery soon afterwards and is going through more treatment at the moment.

“He started chemo a couple of weeks ago,” said the school’s deputy head boy, William Crofskey. “A few of us thought we would put a page together and get as many people to get behind us. Hopefully we’ll get at least 50 people doing

Cambridge High School deputy head boy William Crofskey, left, with others of the head shave organising team, Archie Tonks, Alex Butler and Josh Stannard.

the head shave on the day.”

While the head-shave is likely to involve CHS students and staff, the boys have set up a Shave for a Cure page to attract wider support.

“We have had many people at the school put up their hand to shave their hair in recognition of Tommy’s diagnosis, to

raise money and awareness for cancer research and to help everyone out there who is going through a cancer-related illness. We would really appreciate any support from the wider Cambridge community,” said William. “Any donation is much appreciated. It’s a great cause to get behind.”

The students and staff

will have their heads shaved in front of the school on September 23, with the crew from Henrietta’s in Empire St manning the clippers.

“All funds raised will be donated to cancer research,” William told his online followers. “This is a disease that everyone is affected by in some way, so it would be awesome if we could all

get behind it and support a good cause.”

He also posted a message from Tommy: “Hi guys, this year I was diagnosed with testicular cancer.

I’m currently undergoing chemo, and thanks to years of scientific research there is, miraculously, a cure for the particular cancer I have.

The cure isn’t nice, but it works. This is why I am supporting Shave for a Cure, for everyone who isn’t so lucky, so that one day all people with cancer can be in my position. Let’s make that better future become a reality by working together and shaving for a cure.”

By earlier this week, the team had raised well over $11,000 of a $15,000 target.

THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 3, 2020

Museum put on ice Waipā District Councillors will decide in June whether or not to go ahead with building Te Ara Wai, the proposed regional museum.

Last week they rejected an $40 million option for the museum and discovery centre in favour of a $16 million opton for Te Awamutu to be included in their 2021-2031 Long Term Plan.

The Long Term Plan – which includes proposals for a raft of major development over the next decade - has been subject to an ongoing public consultation process and what is in and what is out will be decided on in June.

Waipā mayor Jim Mylchreest said the decision to put Te Ara Wai on hold reflected reality.

“The fact is, Covid-19 has turned everything upside down and that means the fundraising environment as well. From the get-go, this project has relied on a big chunk of external funding and that hasn’t changed. But philanthropic and corporate money is simply not there anymore; we have to accept that and in the meantime not incur any further costs for ratepayers.”

“The more modest option still offers all the core components and visitor experience we had envisaged but will mean staff have to be more flexible in terms of backroom functions,” he said.

The decision means that, apart from minor safety improvements on Market St, the streetscaping planned for the Te Awamutu hub area would also go on hold until there was more certainty around the project.

Mylchreest said staff would continue to pursue fundraising opportunities where they saw them. Councillors have also directed staff to continue with a $5 million application to the Provincial Growth Fund, he said.

The council remained committed to telling the district’s stories, including those of the New Zealand Land Wars, he said.

“The last few years has shown there is a huge appetite to hear New Zealand’s stories so we have tapped into something important and we won’t be letting that go.”

Te Ara Wai Journeys, a free mobile App, attracts about 1000 people each month.

Therapy sessons for children

By Viv Posselt

An inaugural series of art therapy community workshops aimed at helping children cope with stress, particularly as it relates to Covid-19 changes, will be held in Cambridge and Te Awamutu this month.

Assuming Covid-19 alert levels remain workable, two hour-long workshops will take place at the Cambridge Library in Wilson St on Saturday, September 19, and at Te Awamutu the following Saturday, September 26. One for children aged 5-7 will start at 9.45am; another for youngsters aged 8-12 will start at 11.30am. A fee is payable and registration is essential.

Both are supported by Waipā District Council’s Creative Waipā, and will be run by Cass Hendry, a registered clinical arts therapist who works towards positive mental health for New Zealanders of all ages.

Clinical art therapy is relatively new to New Zealand.

“It is well-established internationally, and is ideal for those who want to self-improve, who may be facing issues in their environment or with their

thought patterns,” Cass said. “It suits anyone from aged three upwards. In the case of children, it can be helpful in giving them greater awareness of their situation and can lead them to making choices that work for them.”

Cass, who lives in Kihikihi and has a masters’ qualification in clinical arts therapy, moved into the field after deciding the life of a professional artist wasn’t for her.

She read a piece on art therapy and found the visual art/therapy combination appealing, then embarked upon years of study.

“The main thing for me is that someone comes on a journey with me. I let the person doing the therapy lead me; I let them decide what they need to do at a pace they can handle.”

The journey through Covid-19 has left many children feeling uncertain and fearful, confused about the constant bombardment of information around illness and even death, she said. “A lot of parents find it difficult to talk to their kids about it. These art therapy sessions give the children an opportunity to express their concerns, to tell their story through the art in a different

environment.”

More information on the workshops, and

registration, is through Dee Atkinson at dee.atkinson@ waipadc.govt.nz.

Clinical arts therapist Cass Hendry, who will run the workshops, has been working in the health and disability sector for over 20 years.

Dog gone, and Brian follows

By Viv Posselt

Cambridge’s emergency services are being praised for a river rescue of long-time resident Brian Dunstan and his dog, Star.

The rescue unfolded at dusk on August 22, when Brian was

walking the family’s two golden retrievers – Ike and Starfire, aka Star – around the Gaslight Theatre area. He parked near the water treatment plant, but when it came time to go home, he couldn’t find Star.

“I called her, but no luck. Then

A bruised and bandaged Brian Dunstan with his equally tender old dog, Star.

M RO F E D ,281 C I P R $481

I looked down the bank. I could see a light patch at the edge of the creek,” he said. “I didn’t have a phone, so I got in the car with Ike and drove to the nearest house in Alpha St. It felt awful leaving her there.”

Brian knocked at the home of the Jones – an Australian family who settled here in January 2016.

Kerrie Jones and her teenage son Kyle were there. Kyle and Brian drove back to Star, Kerrie followed, then husband Robert joined them with a head torch.

“We saw the dog down the bank, she looked to be frozen in place,” Robert said. “Using a harness Brian had in his car, Kyle and I were able to lift Star up the bank, but it was slippery and very slow going … half a metre up, a quarter of a metre down. It took about 20 minutes to get her up the 6-8m bank.”

At that point, Brian tumbled down the slope; his walking stick slipping as he gripped a sapling.

“I went head-over-heels to the bottom.”

Robert clambered down and determined that although it seemed Brian hadn’t broken anything, he wouldn’t be able to get them both back up unaided.

They called emergency services, lost signal, but promptly got a call back. “The paramedics arrived within minutes.”

The fire service and police arrived soon after the St John crew, and senior station officer

at the Cambridge Volunteer Fire Brigade, Richie Gerrand, directed his team as they lowered a scoop basket down to Brian, then hauled it up.

“He had a gash on his head, a couple of other cuts and scrapes.

The paramedics checked him out and took him to Waikato Hospital,” said Richie. “Funnily enough, we have been training on the opposite, steeper side of that part of the river recently.”

The police took Brian’s car, now carrying both dogs, back to Brian’s home where they told his wife Anne what had happened. She was herself a little black and blue, having taken a tumble out of bed early that morning. “I nearly had a heart attack,” she said.

Brian was in hospital overnight, while the ageing Star went to the vet the next day to remove what appeared to be tar from her paws.

“I think someone had dumped bitumen there. Poor old Star had it stuck to her feet,” said Brian. “I’ve contacted the council about it.”

Brian, Anne and Rob are fulsome in their praise of the emergency services. “I was extremely impressed at how quickly they all responded, and how professional they all were,” said Robert.

Brian, who is equally grateful to the Jones family, said: “I ended up with a bump on me swede, a bung knee and torn skin … but it could have been a lot worse. I’m very grateful to everyone.”

Scheme opens for creative bids

The September round of the Creative Communities Scheme has opened for applications for community arts initiatives that help grow and promote local creativity.

Each year Creative New Zealand provides funding to councils for distribution in their area. It helps more more than 1800 projects annually.

Funding can cover materials for arts activities or programmes, venue or equipment hire, personnel or administrative costs for short-term projects and promotion of arts activities.

Waipā District Council strategy and community services group manager Debbie Lascelles said taking part in creative activities had a positive impact on health and wellbeing, which was especially important in the current climate.

“We’re encouraging our arts community to dream up innovative and creative projects that align with current health restrictions and are accessible to our residents – from online performances to virtual galleries.”

The current funding round is open to projects that run between November 1, 2020 and May 31, 2021.

Each project should focus on at least one of the scheme’s three criteria - access and participation, diversity or young people.

Applications to the September funding round close September 30. Application guides and forms are available at waipadc.govt.nz/creativecommunities or from Council offices in Cambridge or Te Awamutu. Completed application forms can be emailed to info@waipadc.govt.nz or dropped off at Council offices.

THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 3, 2020

Unlocking the subdivisions Pushing youth vote Waipā Civil Ltd has started the installation of new water and wastewater pipes, which will service two large residential growth areas, to the north west of Cambridge.

Once completed, the new growth areas, currently known as C2 and C3, will accommodate 2,500 homes and a 1000 pupil primary school.

Waipā District Council’s group manager service delivery, Dawn Inglis, said the water and wastewater works

signal the start of progress on the new subdivisions.

“The pipe installation is the first step that will unlock two of Cambridge’s new residential areas. When completed, it will allow developers to start making progress on the new subdivisions and connect with our existing infrastructure to cater for Cambridge’s growing population.”

Waipā Civil Ltd was awarded the $2 million contract by Council in August to

The good bunch

install the water and wastewater pipes for the new subdivisions.

The pipes will be installed along Cambridge Road from Vogel Street to the Te Awa lifecare facility.

With the majority of the pipe installation work in the road some construction noise and traffic management, such as roadcones and a reduced speed limit, may be expected at times throughout the work programme. Work is due to be completed in early 2021.

Waipā District Councillor Philip Coles, left, and New World Cambridge owner/operator Logan McKenzie joined forces to raise more than $1000 for the Cancer Society. They ran a Daffodil Day fundraiser from August 25-30 in support of the Society’s annual event, Philip working with a team of pickers and Logan providing the retail space. Logan said every cent made from the sales of daffodil bunches went to the Cancer Society. Philip said working together for the community good was rewarding. “With Covid-19, there were many limitations on traditional fundraising methods this year, so having their support for the entire week leading up to Daffodil Day was important, and the New World team raised a significant amount of money.”

Wintec Communication students have teamed up with the Hamilton YWCA to encourage more young people to vote.

YWCA general manager Riikka Anderson believes the lack of apparent interest in voting among young people stems from apathy and a lack of knowledge.

In 2017 of the 333,164 enrolled 18 to 24-year-olds, 30.73% did not vote. Community connector and programme facilitator Abbey Uttley said the students want to change that.

“Together with the Wintec students we hope to get more young people to register to vote, to turn up to vote and to raise awareness for the importance of voting in general.”

Campaign leader, Cambridge-born tutor Abby Dalgety, explained the strategies.“The students are working on a website, an Instagram and facebook page, posters and creative content around the election,” she said.

Cambridge resident Amy Craven is a student of Abby’s and works on the campaign. Being 18 years old, she is a firsttime voter “therefore, I understand the target demographic and the importance to get young people to vote”.

As the YWCA is an organisation for female empowerment, the students also put an emphasis on the legacy of Kiwi women. Amy is writing a blog post for the YWCA website about five inspirational women.

“I chose Kate Sheppard, Nancy Wake, Dame Whina Cooper, Dame Valerie Adams and Sophie Hardford. I feel really connected telling the story of these women and hope that their stories inspire more young people to vote.”

Over the next few weeks, the students will regularly post content on their social media platforms (@youthvotenz) and website www.youthvotenz.com

THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 3, 2020

Cambridge pool opening put back Challenges partly as a result of Covid-19 have forced Waipa District Council to review the opening date of the Cambridge pool.

The much-anticipated pool is 70 per cent complete, but construction issues, exacerbated by the pandemic, mean Council is now predicting the pool will be open to the public by March 2021 at the earliest.

The pool project has experienced significant setbacks and challenges since construction first commenced in December 2018. Mayor Jim Mylchreest said the 2020 construction season had been “one

setback after another”, causing delays and increased costs.

“There has been a lot of challenges, some of which could have been anticipated and some not. These have been made much worse by Covid which saw work come to a halt for five weeks in April with ongoing impacts ever since. We’ve had building materials delayed from both local and international suppliers,” he said.

“On top of that, there was unexpected work required on the existing outdoor 50m pool, and contractors were forced to grapple with a natural spring that appeared

by the toddler pool. Groundwater issues have also wreaked havoc due to revised programming and scheduling of works as a result of the Covid-19 lockdown.”

Mylchreest said major capital projects had been and were still being impacted by Covid-19 across the country, causing delays and increased costs.

The current Cambridge pool budget sits at $23 million, almost $1.7 million over budget.

“While these are extraordinary times, it’s extremely frustrating, not just for the community but also for Councillors. We’re itching to get

this pool open for people,” he said.

The facility will provide up to 60

jobs. For more information go to waipadc.govt.nz/cambridgepool.

The revamped Cambridge pool facility will provide up to 60 jobs.

Funding open at Jumble Around

By Viv Posselt

Jumble Around’s funding round for 2020 has opened, and those at the helm are suggesting groups and not-for-profit organisations get their applications in quickly.

The charity opshop is now into its 52nd year. What began as a womendriven initiative to help fundraise for the building of Resthaven progressed to an organisation that channels almost every cent it makes back into the community.

It’s a manager-free, 100 percent volunteer effort that has put well over $1 million into the community over the years, electing to support a raft of groups, primarily those with a health and wellbeing, or education, bent.

Among the recipients over the years are Cambridge Community House, Kids in Need, Achievement House, St John, the Maori Women’s League, Cancer Support, the Cambridge Autumn Festival, schools, kindergartens and more. They also fund some regional groups.

Jumble Around president Marianne Jarvie, who has been involved for 22 years, said the group gave away over $130,000 last year. “But because Covid-19 saw us close for over two months, we are looking at around $110,000 this year.”

A team of 36 volunteers rotates to keep the Leamington-based Jumble Around outlet going. They accept donations from the public, work with other groups to ensure items are as near perfect as possible, and then man the store during opening

hours, usually with around four of them at a time.

Mary Waters has seen the range of goods expand in the 10 years since she has been involved.

Both women agreed that op shop buying has taken on a new ‘chic’ of its own, with television shows and fashion revivals touting the popularity of clothes and ‘retro’ homeware items from the ‘70s or ‘80s.

“The push to recycle is also part of that growth we are seeing today … we’re seeing younger people coming in to shop here.”

Application forms for the 2020 funding round can be obtained from Jumble Around, 183 Shakespeare St in Leamington.

Any queries can be directed to Mary Waters on 027 255 2571. Applications close on September 16.

NO PLANET B

Why I abandoned Google

A day for our dads

Yesterday I changed my search engine.

That is to say I set the default search engine in the web browsers on all my electronic devices to something other than Google.

What is this madness?

Google reportedly processes around 70,000 search queries every second. That means six billion searches a day. That’s mainstream by anyone’s standards so you’d have to have a pretty good reason to deviate from that path, wouldn’t you?

It is well known that Google has generated enormous wealth and continues to do so. As long ago as 2011 one of the founders spent $45 million on a superyacht. And there’s the reason - a superyacht is about as green as a bonfire in a coalfield with no reason for being other than the gratification of the owner.

I do not propose to discuss whether or not any of us would choose a life of ultimate luxury were we able to afford it - I’ve done that in a previous column - but there is a better way.

It’s called Ecosia. It is a search engine founded by a 35-year-old called Christian Kroll, and it gives away 80% of its profits to tree-planting charities.

Rather than a superyacht, Christian takes to an inflatable dinghy for his boating enjoyment, and he has placed legal restrictions on his company to ensure that shareholders and staff may never personally sell shares or take profits outside the company.

To date Ecosia has funded the planting of over 105 million trees and there are grand plans for expansion - and the future planting of billions of trees.

A couple of weeks ago a reader from Te Awamutu wrote to the editor to take issue

This weekend it’s Father’s Day. Come Sunday morning, fathers up and down the nation will be feted on centre stage for a brief moment. Breakfast in bed might be a standard staple for a few pampered papas…for others receiving a phone call from afar (or nearby), might have to suffice.

Perhaps a visit, maybe a little gift or token of appreciation could be in the pipeline for other doted upon Dad’s.

Going by the advertising for Father’s Day, I imagine it provides retailers, service providers and suppliers with a boost in turnover, as gifts are purchased, cards are sold, and coffee bars or eateries are patronised.

The commercialism of Father’s Day could obscure the simple point of what is actually being observed. It’s a marker - a pause where families, sons and daughters can reflect on the Dad -or Dad ‘figure’ in their lives…and remember.

The polarising truth is that some will remember with a great deal of fondness and thankfulness. Delight and gratitude may abound, while others will reflect a bit more ruefully, finding scant cause for celebration and little to honour…

Whether present, absent or passed away, everyone’s ‘Dad experience’ will vary.

Some will relate joy-filled, nurturing and loving, supportive fatherly encouragement.

Other’s accounts will be of a Dad present in a physical sense but absent for all intents and purposes at an emotional level… those who provided decently and adequately in practical terms yet fell from the task of really being ‘there’ in ways that count. It is troubling how many people’s ‘Dad stories’ mostly conjure up deep feelings of pain, loss and rejection within them. Sadly, many kids

with a column I wrote. I think his point was that I wasn’t being as green as I was claiming to be.

Of course I welcome any kind of response to my thoughts because that makes it a discussion and the world is a better place for it.

Anyway, this reader was talking about glomalin (search it on Ecosia), and the beneficial effects on the environment of this recently discovered substance.

He also said that “Pasture locks far more soil carbon per hectare than forest.” My initial reaction to that statement was that it can’t possibly be true, but I think it might be a matter of semantics; pasture may lock more “soil” carbon than forest but that doesn’t take into account the biomass of the forest itself, which incidentally is rocking a fair bit of glomalin on its own account.

However my aim here is not to prove anyone right or wrong - my aim is to encourage thought, debate, and where possible, action in the arena of conservation and climate change.

I hope our Te Awamutu reader and I can both agree with Christian Kroll when he says - “Ego consumption is not appropriate in a world where there’s climate change.”

Therefore I would recommend that everybody uses Google one last time to find the Ecosia website - and take it from there.

growing up, have fathers who never learned any sense of responsibility, instead they habitually inject selfish destructive influences into family life… that’s a continuing and concerning reality commonly seen among our communities. Having the biological capability to produce children does not make a male - a real father.

Our culture reflects “fatherlessness” stemming from broken Dads passing on their pain and hurt to sons (and daughters) who in turn become vulnerable and susceptible to unconsciously reproducing the flawed, inadequate modelling they experienced, in the lives of their own children. It’s a cycle that is proven to perpetuate.

It raises the question: how can we change this? Models of what good Dads look like are necessary in order to cut a new groove.

Qualities and attributes needing expression would be showing genuine care-filled ‘thereness’ and providing nurture at every level…providing an inspiring example of character, providing opportunity for building confidence and personal value in kids’ lives, setting boundaries, correcting when needed with loving discipline to protect children from making poor decisions…not being distracted and overly busy with a life crammed with so many things that kids end up neglected…

Speaking of neglecting things…since none of us Dads are perfect fathers and deep inside none of us wants to fail as a Dad, we could all do with some help. God’s help…

Think about that one - it’s crucially needed and freely available.

COMMUNITY HOUSE

THE AGE OF REASON

Opening up about mental health Been there, done that…

By Harriet Dixon, General Manager, Cambridge Community House

By Peter Carr

We’re getting better at dealing with our mental health. We talk about it with friends, family and colleagues. We know to look for the tell-tale signals of others being unwell.

Some of us are naturally empathetic, providing a shoulder to cry on, or a casual chat over a cuppa. Problems shared this way really can be halved.

Although we don’t always want to talk about it, issues around mental wellness affect many more people than you might think. Look around you: one in six people are personally affected by poor mental health at some point in their lives.

At its most extreme, poor mental health can lead to death by suicide. Each year there are more deaths by suicide in Aotearoa New Zealand, than through road accidents. Despite this, our road toll is the more talked about. It’s so important that we talk about our mental health too.

As this month welcomes Mental Health Awareness Week (mhaw.nz), running from September 21 to 27, take a minute to think about how much of a difference we can make to the well-being of those around us. Really listening to someone, knowing where to seek help and guiding them towards it, can make a huge difference to their quality of life.

Each year Cambridge Community House helps more than 800 people specifically with their mental wellness. They may need support with grief, depression, anxiety, relationships, addictions, family violence or abuse. Rarely does one simple thing push someone to the edge. Instead, an accumulation of issues lead people to feel overwhelmed.

This means maintaining good mental health has to be tackled on many fronts. Mental Health Awareness Week reflects how we work

It would be pleasing to escape from the dreariness of the degree of care being thrust at elderly people during the Covid period. I do not object to that care but sometimes feel that the manner by which it is dispensed treats us as mindless and incapable of clear and sensible thought.

But in the majority the people who are dispensing this ‘we are looking after you’ theme – be they politicians, retirement village management or families need to be aware that these are people who have struggled through life successfully, have a good degree of competence and can actually read newspapers. Clearly those of a younger mould are still catching up with this wealth of experience. Reeling the line further in why is it that children 12 years and over must wear masks on the school bus but those under are not required to do so? Why is it, now they are at Level 2.5, that residents of Auckland are all perceived to be very unclean, possibly not careful enough and do not wear masks to the degree that is evident overseas?

Be that as it may we are all in this same boat together. I get it that residents of retirement care homes of the oldfashioned variety, are very prone to the virus - especially where they are corralled together in a circle in an over-heated room looking at each other. I get it that people who deliberately walk past both the Covid yellow app sign and the sign-in page without signing at the local coffee shop should be apprehended. But in a brief survey over 30 minutes at my regular caffeine establishment last week I noted that 50 percent deliberately ignored the availability quite properly put there by the

holistically with people and their families, linking mental well-being to how they are getting on in other areas of their life. These include relationships with family and friends, physical health, emotional and spiritual well-being, as well as the comfort and security we all derive from our roots or networks in the community.

Like other challenges in life, staying on top of your mental well-being means facing up to issues early on. The sooner you look for help the sooner problems will be overcome, whether that’s through having a chat, therapeutic counselling, or learning a few new coping skills. The first step is to ask for help.

Asking early doesn’t just help you. It helps your family too.

How do we know? Well, people tell us.

When someone says “You re-built my life, my mana, gave me confidence” it really drives home how our help and support can set someone on the right track.

The impact can be widespread, rippling through to the wider family. One client explained it like this: “My family are so grateful for your support, you have given them their son back, and I can’t thank you enough for the help and support you have given me.”

Results like these all come from the same points: the courage to recognise you need help and being brave enough to ask for it.

We support people and families with our wrap-around services, to help them get back on their feet. You can help by supporting our mental health work in your community: donate direct to the BNZ account for Cambridge Community House Trust 02-0300-0053796-025.

shop owner. Should she apprehend them?

If she did would they walk out and never return? Should she be wary about her well depleted income this year and decide that business economy has a lesser risk that an ignorant customer? Quite a decision to have to make.

Somewhere there is a magic age at which one becomes more prevalent to becoming unwell. If someone would be kind enough to explain to me whether that is 65, 70, 75 or 80 I can then approach life in a more balanced way. At 65 I can be the recipient of the pension and the Gold Card. At 75 I had to re-apply for my driving license. At 80 – not there yet – the driving license will need the support of one’s medical adviser.

And there is a misconception out there that optometrists can actually state that someone is allowed to drive because their eye-sight is good – even if they can only see out of one eye. Unless one has a rubber neck and a superb swivel in one’s spine safe driving of the single eye variety is a matter that the insurance industry should take appropriate notice.

All of this is quite depressing but very real. As one advances in years, pleasured at having reached this far, it is much easier to reflect that what has been thrust upon us, while serious, is just yet another of life’s challenges. The horrors of war, overseas funds needed to buy a car, over-subsidised farmers, carless days, compulsory military training, mortgage rates approaching 20 per cent, poor infrastructure etc. All of these have been met up front, experienced, dealt with and we have moved on.

Boatsheds in the top 10

By Viv Posselt

The Boatshed Kayaks at Lake Karapiro is basking in another big win – it has scooped a 2020 TripAdvisor Traveller’s Choice Award, putting it in the top 10 percent of worldwide attractions based on customer feedback on the travel platform.

Winning awards is hardly new for the business Richard Clark started 20 years ago.

His is a well-established tourist attraction that has won customer-linked awards through TripAdvisor almost annually. “We’ve been one of the top attractions in the area for years,” he said. “It’s always great to be recognised in that way, particularly as it comes on the back of positive customer feedback.”

Richard said the award also served as recognition for his team, in particular his Cambridge-based guides Blake Todd, Sonja Van Wiik, Jack Foley and Shaun Hazelton.

“It is very helpful to get that sort of feedback on staff. They are an incredibly valuable part of the operation, and good customer feedback is a great motivator.”

Pre-Covid, the business attracted around 25 percent international tourists, principally from the USA, UK and Europe, and Australia.

Nationally, the biggest numbers come from Auckland, Tauranga and the Waikato, which means the Covid lockdowns of 2020 have hit in waves.

Working on tourist deals through Cambridge i-Site has helped steady the numbers, particularly across some of the more popular attractions, such as the year-round Glowworm Kayak Trips, the Waikato River Guided Trips and the Lake Karapiro Waterfalls Paddleboard Tours.

Richard, who works closely with daughter Phoebe Clark, has expanded the business in recent years, which means there is something going on almost every day of the year.

“Our most popular product is the Glowworm Kayak Trips,” he said. “Clients travel to Epworth Camp at the end of the lake, meet up and paddle across the lake before dark, then have cheese and crackers

Richard Clark is delighted that his business, The Boatshed Kayaks, is still up there with the best of them.

“We pride ourselves on making old age worth living”

COUNCIL UPDATE

More pensioner houses confirmed

By Liz Stolwyk, Deputy Mayor, Waipā

Several years ago Councillors made a commitment to our ‘super aged’ to continue Council’s investment in affordable pensioner housing in the Waipā district. I must congratulate Council staff on their commitment in this area. It’s pleasing to see an extra 26 units will be built in coming years in Leamington, and also more in Te Awamutu.

Council’s portfolio of pensioner housing is relatively modest in total, but it is a commitment that I would like to see retained in coming years to ensure our locals have affordable options when retirement comes knocking.

As we grow, so must our commitment to public transport to provide reasonable connections to our closest city. Waipā District Council is recommending to Waikato Regional Council that an extended service through Cambridge East be introduced. This will provide greater connection with a growing part of our town and our high school. I am particularly pleased to see the excellent uptake of an increased service between Cambridge and Hamilton in the early evenings, and I would like to see this continue to grow if there is demand for it.

You’ll be interested to know a new planting programme has commenced at the Horahora domain. Several large trees have been removed and new ones introduced. This domain is a favourite for many people in our community and I do love seeing these beautiful spaces upgraded for us all to enjoy. If you haven’t been to Horahora before, it is a stunning place to visit on the shores of the Waikato River, just 15 minutes south of Cambridge. Add it to your list of weekend activities!

A huge congratulations to Cambridge Community House who will open their new building extension very soon. This extra space is very necessary,

and I commend Harriet and her team with their fundraising efforts to get this across the line. Council was also able to assist alongside a number of other local businesses to complete the fundraising efforts. In these uncertain times without active social services agencies in our communities there is a concern that we leave those most vulnerable behind.

This is an area I am very interested in to ensure Cambridge remains strong, vibrant and we grow a balanced community.

Parking in the CBD is also back on our Council agenda this week. Is it time for parking wardens? Should parking fines be given to repeat offenders? I would love to hear your views on this. I regularly hear both views on this subject from shoppers and business owners.

Council has recently reminded residents about larger carparking options in Hallys Lane and Milicich Place for those able bodied.

Council’s next Long Term Plan (our 2021/2031 10-year plan) will be keeping me busy over the next six months. After chatting with many of you, you’ve said we need to act very prudently in these times. Keep our economy going (yes), keep rates affordable (yes), and while we love our cycleways, pools and museums, we need to act on the side of caution while many of our ratepayers are in the midst of changing times.

My thanks to those who keep in touch – it’s great to hear your views. I had a great conversation recently with residents keen to see a small library for Leamington introduced in the future and delighted to hear recently of the great work the Cambridge Tree Trust has been doing for our town and surrounds – thank you!

I’ll be at the Cambridge Lions Trash ‘n’ Treasure on September 13 outside the BNZ bank ATM. Hope to see you there.

Disruptions continue in football

Wet weather and Covid-19 alert level restrictions continue to disrupt Cambridge’s football season.

Training has been a stop-start process as winter rain has forced the closure of Cambridge FC’s senior and junior pitches half a dozen times recently.

The Reds have now missed three rounds of Northern League football due to travel restrictions between Auckland and Waikato clubs.

A decision was expected to be made this week by Northern League administrators on the future of this season’s competition.

Despite these interruptions, the club’s junior teams are able to continue under alert level 2 conditions and most of the senior and youth teams played in local competitions last weekend.

In Waikato men’s division two, Cambridge consolidated their third place in the competition with a 2-1 win against Northern United at John Kerkhof Park.

Cambridge took the lead after 16 minutes when leading scorer Peter Buesnel grabbed his 12th goal of the season with a simple tap-in.

The home side doubled their lead on the half-hour when evergreen Jason Szabo expertly headed home a free kick.

Northern fought back and Cambridge goalkeeper Jan Henk Bertelink made a couple of excellent saves to enable his team to go into the half-time break with a 2-0 lead.

In the second half, Northern pulled back a goal but could not find a way through the Cambridge defence, ably led by ‘keeper Bertelink and central defender Thomas Gifford who shared the Player of the Day award.

This Saturday, Cambridge travel to Hamilton to play second-placed St Paul’s Corinthians (2.45pm), a game that will test both sides.

In Waikato men’s division five, Cambridge’s D2 team set an all-time record by winning their fourth game in a row – the first time they had achieved that since forming about a decade ago.

They beat Waikato Unicol 3-2.

The students took an early lead,

Cambridge drew level through veteran midfielder Phillip Curin when he scrambled home from a corner.

After turning around at 1-1, Cambridge took the lead when goalkeeper Cole van den Beuken beat his opposite number from the penalty spot.

Unicol clawed back a goal but could not deprive Cambridge of their win.

Van den Beuken was Player of the Day. Cambridge D1s drew 1-1 at Claudelands Rovers.

Adrian Walworth gave Cambridge an early lead but a goal 10 minutes from time gave Rovers their share of the points.

Captain Steph Upton crossed for O’Neill to level, sending the teams into half-time tied 2-2.

Thames again took the lead but Olivia Sutherland levelled, compensating for her first half penalty miss.

MORTGAGE MATTERS

Why use a Mortgage Broker?

By Gavin Lynch – Yes Mortgages In the present loan market, most lenders are changing their criteria in regards to what, how much and to whom they lend. This makes it even more important to use a mortgage broker so you know you are getting the right mortgage and right lender to suit your needs.

I believe every client has a unique borrowing scenario and time needs to be taken with the client to understand and analyse this, so a correct lending plan and structure can be put in place to achieve goals.

In this column, I want to explain briefly the role of the mortgage broker and what I can offer.

The key role of the mortgage broker is to make the whole loan process easier for you, the client. This is possible because: I can look at all the lending options.

I deal with more than 25 different lenders and work to find the best lender to suit your unique situation.

• I can do all the ‘leg work’ with the lenders.

• This saves you time and avoids pitfalls in getting a loan approved.

• I can negotiate rates, fees, and legal contributions with certain lenders to obtain the best deal for the client.

• I can meet at a convenient time and place for the client.

• This can be in the home or workplace and after hours if need be.

• I can advise on the best loan structure to suit the client’s need.

And best of all using a broker is a free service in most cases. Now that has to be worth thinking about!

If your looking for a mortgage, please give me a call on 823 4531 or 021 783 266 and I can help you though the whole process. gavin@yesmortgages.co.nz

Cambridge shows form in Lacrosse League

Elijah Lee, Te Awamutu College, side steps Jacob D’Ath from Cambridge High during their premier boys’ clash.

It was double victories for Cambridge High School last this weekend, with both the Premier Girls and Boys teams winning their matches in the Waikato High Lacrosse League.

The Premier Boys team won against defending champions Te Awamutu College 11-5 at the Inline Hockey Rink in Hamilton on Sunday.

Year 13 player - Alistair Hearmon – took care of most of the goals and was awarded player of the match.

Despite the clear victory, team coach Anthony Warrington said there were gaps in the team’s play during the early stages of the match in both offence and defence. Only after the half-time briefing, when he asked them to refocus their game, stick to their opponents in defence, and find space in offence did Cambridge really take control of the game.

This side is aiming to reach the League finals for a shot at the overall title. Cambridge High have been Waikato champions once since the Boys’ High League started seven years ago.

The two most experienced player in the team - Alistair Hearmon and Blake Anderson – are keen to return the trophy back to Cambridge in their final year.

Waipā battle won in first half Tricolor Cambridge High retained rugby’s Tricolor Trophy and the Waipā Cup with a 28-5 win over Te Awamutu College on Saturday.

The damage was done in the first half at Cambridge’s Memorial Park as the home side raced to a 21-0 lead.

The first two tries, both converted, came in the opening 10 minutes from Tom Coston and Jake Fuller.

College hit back to put strong pressure on Cambridge for the rest of the half but with no reward – and they were further punished when Josh Bam scored an outstanding

In the Girls’ League, the Cambridge High School Premier team secured their fifth consecutive win, this time against Waikato Diocesan 12-3. Aishlyn Lawton, Lucy Kibby, and Jodi Mouat all scored two goals.

During Level 2, the girls’ matches are being played at Tamahere Park, and across multiple venues to keep within restrictions. All Premier boys were live-streamed so parents could tune-in and watch the action.

The Waikato High Lacrosse season closes with the finals on the weekend of September 19-20 and the national secondary champs are the weekend after.

White scores first solo training win ‘Stranded’ Ramsamy

Matthew White was delighted to secure his first solo training win in New Zealand last week when Carse O Fern Tom took out the Oktoberfest, 3rd October Mobile Pace (2200m) at Cambridge Raceway.

The Waipā horseman had been training in partnership with Mike Berger last season and previously trained in Western Australia, but getting off the mark on his own account in his homeland meant a lot.

“It’s great to get that first win on the board, especially on the home track,” he said.

“I thought it was the right sort of race for Carse O Fern Tom. They have gone 2.46, which is his go.”

White was also pleased to pick up a couple of placings with stablemates Emmber and Thee Old Bomb.

“Emmber went really well, I was rapt with her,” he said.

“She had to sit parked and got a bit keen and was pulling a bit, so I was rapt with the way she finished it off.

“Thee Old Bomb had to do a bit of work early and there were a couple of horses who had the cold shot on him.

“He’s still a bit on the weak side, so I am just going to tip him out now for a couple of months and bring him back in and race him around Christmas time.”

White also picked up another win in the sulky when steering home the Ross Paynter-trained

As Free As Air to take out the McMillan Equine Feeds Trot (2200m).

“I thought if she did everything right she would go well. Her manners were good and she was too good in the end.”

Meanwhile, Hamilton trainer Graeme Rogerson experienced another strong night at Cambridge Raceway, securing a winning double with She Reigns and High Point.

“We rolled out the A team so we expected to have a good night and they raced up to scratch again,” stable foreman and driver Dylan Ferguson said.

“It was good to get a couple of winners again.

“She Reigns had to trot a New Zealand record to win, so it was a good effort from her. She was the class horse of the field and that really showed in the last 100m.

“High Point got a lovely trip again. She is a lovely, honest mare and she is the ultimate racehorse really.

“She has got good gate speed and good manners and that takes them a long way in life and it’s going to take her a bit further yet.”

The Rogerson team also secured a placing with Meetmeinsorrento in the BO & CO Electrical Mobile Pace (2200m).

“It was a good effort by Meetmeinsorrento, he paced a lot better tonight. He just got

swamped in the last stride. It was still a good effort and the horse that beat him (Down The Hatch) has been racing at Auckland.”

With Covid-19 level 3 restrictions regionalising racing, Ferguson said the Rogerson barn has been able to take advantage of that in the last few meetings at Cambridge.

“We had three winners last meeting and two winners this meeting, so it’s been great,” Ferguson said. “It’s great that we can keep racing and everyone is happy to do their bit to make sure we can keep racing.

“We rolled out a couple of horses tonight that would normally go to Auckland. But because of the regionalisation of racing we took a bigger team to Cambridge, so it was good to get the results.” - Joshua Smith, Harness News Desk

Former champion South African apprentice Kersley Ramsamy (pictured) put his first win on the board in New Zealand when he guided promising three-year-old Sheza Jakkal to victory at Te Aroha on Saturday.

The well-travelled Mauritian-born rider has been in New Zealand since shortly before the first Covid-19 lockdown in March and recently moved to Te Aroha after initially being based in the South Island.

Ramsamy works for Te Aroha’s Gavin Opie and collected the first victory for the partnership with a heady ride aboard Sheza Jakkal, who started a $3.30 second elect in the maiden 1300m contest after an eye-catching finish at Taupo at her previous start.

Ramsamy is enjoying his time in New Zealand after initially visiting the country for a short break during the off season in Mauritius but finding himself stuck here due to the restrictions on international travel caused by the global pandemic.

“I was riding for one of the leading stables back home but decided to come to New Zealand for a little while during the break that we have in the season back home,” Ramsamy said.

“I started off in the south where I had a couple of rides but then I contacted Gavin and made the move up to Te Aroha.

“I primarily ride trackwork for Gavin but I’m now riding more for the other

trainers at Te Aroha which is good as I’m hoping that will help me to get more raceday rides.

“When I knew I would be here for a while due to the Covid-19 situation I decided I wanted to make a real go of it so the best way to do that is to ride winners and get noticed by the trainers.”

Ramsamy is no stranger to success having commenced his career in South Africa, where he went on to become champion apprentice. That title saw him invited to participate in an international apprentice series where he struck immediate success.

“That led to me receiving an invitation to ride in France in a qualifying race for the world champion apprentice series.

“I had one ride and won the race which took me to the finals in Abu Dhabi where I finished third.

“I then travelled to Germany, Italy and Oman for some rides at different festivals before heading back to South Africa.

“I rode for a little longer there before moving back home to Mauritius.

“New Zealand racing is a little different to what I know back at home as the tracks are bigger and roomier and more like South Africa.

“I do enjoy it here and I’m looking forward to riding more winners now I have got my first one under my belt.”

Hautapu has fielded a women’s rugby team for the first time in more than 30 years this season – and they hosted a 10 aside series with Raglan and Taupiri last Saturday. The Waipā team scored a 15-5 win over Raglan, and did well to lose just 12-5 to an experienced Taupiri in their second outing.

Club spokesperson Deano Herewini said Hautapu was thrilled to field a women’s team again. “This day was a huge success - over 50% of the girls are new to the sport, so if ladies are keen to give it a try, contact me at Deano.herewini@gmail.com.”

Treble chance for Blues

Meet the teams – Leamington will contest three Waikato club rugby finals this weekend.

Leamington will feature in three Waikato club rugby finals this weekend, including two at home.

The club’s top team beat Southern United – Surf – 19-17 in Tokoroa last weekend to set up a final at Hinuera, while the Senior Bs beat Hinuera in the Division 1B semi and the Colts reached their final, beating Fraser Tech 20-5.

It has been an outstanding year in testing circumstances for the club, and with Hautapu winning the Waikato club premier title, a fine season for club rugby in Cambridge.

“This year has been one the most testing with disruptions and lockdowns and players not sure of their careers going forward,”

club chairman Dave Peters told the News.

“Having said that, we have achieved great things on the paddock with an unbeaten Colts team a senior B only losing once and the seniors making good ground under new management systems.

The under 85Kg team moved forward in leaps and bounds and we have had a great turnout for the Presidents grade.

“Netball has gone from zero to three very competitive teams and the club has a very positive vibe even with the Covid limitations.

He said it was unprecedented for the small community club to be in with a shot at three titles.

Leamington had lost to Tokoroa based Surf in the round robin and went to Memorial Park looking for redemption.

The boot of Regan Erueti proved decisive in a match contested in heavy rain. Surf scored more tries, but on a day when only one was converted, the nine points accumulated by Erueti was priceless He put the Stags ahead with an early penalty and after Surf responded with the first try of the game, and Leamington hit back with a Geoff Beaumont try courtesy of an Adin Bolton intercept, he put his side further ahead, 11-5 before the break.

Surf scored an unconverted try

early in the second half, but Regan was on point again with a penalty to keep Leamington in front 14-10.

Josh Mackay scored from a series of pick and go drives, Surf responded with a converted try, but Leamington held on to close out the game 19-17 Bolton was Leamington’s play of the day.

The Senior Bs hosted Hinuera and held on for a 17-12 win in tough conditions. They will play Surf in the final after Suburbs defaulted the other semi-final.

Tries were scored by Callum Neels and Kore Murfitt and player of the day Jarred Allen Baker kicked two and a penalty.

Leamington’s Regal Agriculture Colts beat Fraser Tech 20-5 at home with tries to Jackson Neels, Keegan Harris and Robert Day. Day also kicked a conversion and a penalty.

Tacuira Hart was the player of the day.

Next week’s fixtures are Senior A v Hinuera away 2.45pm, Colts v Hamilton Marist 1pm, Senior B’s v Surf 2.45pm.
