Safety steps Minister Stitched up… taken as abuse rises By Mary Anne Gill
When Finance Minister Grant Robertson stood to deliver the Budget last
week in Parliament, he did so wearing a burgundy tie hand-crafted in Waipā by Claire Nieuwoudt and gifted to him by Prime Minister
Jacinda Ardern. Earlier that day, in a Facebook Live seen by more than 10,000 people, Ms Ardern thanked Stitched for

Closed circuit TV cameras and monitors, duress pendants and buttons, strobes, lockdown devices and sirens are set to be installed at Waipā District Council facilities to combat aggressive behaviour. Some equipment has already been put in the libraries and customer support areas in Cambridge and Te Awamutu after staff reported an increase in abuse. In their five-monthly report to the council’s Finance and Corporate committee, health and safety advisor Bev Taylor and human resources manager Stephanie Shores said one of the actions for council to consider, following a SafePlus assessment three years ago was to install duress alarms to provide safe areas in libraries. This project was scoped from a broader perspective to incorporate the Kihikihi and Cambridge pounds, libraries, other customer support areas and Te Awamutu Museum. “All of the roles within these areas/departments have significant interactions with the general public and have experienced aggressive behaviours from customers,” the report said. Earlier this year, the council’s Health and Safety team reported an increase in aggressive behaviour and alerted Council executive. The executive gave the go-ahead for the team to focus its energy and resources on supplementing staff training with technology to act as a potential deterrent and so staff could protect themselves and those around them. Security equipment has been partially installed at the dog pounds and work should be complete this month so staff can test the equipment and get training. Security equipment will also be installed in Te Awamutu Museum next month and will involve a twoday closure of the facility. Staff logged 66 major and moderate events to the council from last November to March.

the tie and told her nearly two million followers to “buy New Zealand made”. Claire was thrilled when she saw her boutique Cambridge business had just gone global. Making ties is a labour of love for the South African emigrant who settled in Cambridge last year with husband Gideon after falling in love with the town’s blooming magnolias and cherry trees. She had also always wanted to live in a town with a chiming clock tower. Claire learned to sew from her grandmother and started her own business sewing hair accessories for weddings when she was 22. The first tie she made came when a bride she was making a veil for asked for some ties and braces for her groom and groomsmen. “I just said yes. So, I pulled apart one of my husband’s ties and figured it out from there. Since making that first tie, I’ve completely fallen in love with them. “The process is slow and requires all your focus, but it is also repetitive and meditative. Just follow each step carefully and the result is a beautiful, wearable piece of art,” she says. “The tie came under a lot of criticism this year. It’s seen as something that belongs in the past. I see ties as a way for people to express themselves. Continued on page 3

The town of leaves Autumn is the time when leaves fall from trees in huge numbers and many Cambridge people spend a great deal of time raking and gathering leaves up. Cambridge has always been regarded as the town of trees except in autumn when we become the town of leaves. Cambridge has street gutters full of dead leaves and frequently gusty winds will blow the leaves all over the streets. What seems to be missing is the council trucks to gather the leaves up on a regular basis. A comment from a Waipā council member regarding leaf gathering in Cambridge during autumn would be greatly appreciated. Michael Cole Cambridge The Waipā District Council responds: Leaf fall collection is an integral part of keeping our roads and drains maintained in the lead-up to winter. Each year, Council runs a collection service for 11 weeks from May to July to collect leaves from designated streets in Cambridge, Te Awamutu and Kihikihi that have fallen from council-owned street trees and protected trees. This year’s leaf fall collection has been significant due to several factors. Continuous wet and windy weather and a high intensity of leaf fall on some streets has made leaf collection extremely difficult. Usually, trees lose their leaves simultaneously over a period of 10 to 12 weeks. This year however, the majority of trees have lost their leaves in a period of just three to four weeks. This has resulted in a much larger collection loads. Contractors are working hard to cope with the unexpected intensity of leaves and the bad weather. We ask that residents on leaf collection streets put leaves from street trees or protected trees out for collection on the berm, not in the kerb and channel as this creates blockages. Residents on non-collection streets need to dispose of their leaves by other means. • More letters page 8
Out and about A treasure in Tamahere
For 30 years this rare remnant of Waikato lowland swamp forest was a neglected wasteland. It is overlooked by the bustling Tauwhare Road and the people who stopped here were generally ‘donating’ household rubbish. Unkempt pine trees loomed over the reserve and it had become home to an invasion of pest plants and animals. But in 2012, resident Leo Koppens began the impressive task of tackling this neglected reserve. With support from enthusiastic local committees and businesses, and volunteers, this reserve is now cared for under the auspices of the Tamahere-Mangaone Restoration Trust. A steep path leads down under pine trees to the reserve, but once this has been negotiated, the kids will enjoy tearing along the boardwalk to the viewing platform overlooking the meandering Mangaone Stream. A mix of boardwalk and well-graded dirt paths wind past exotic trees that provide cover for regenerating
mamaku, māhoe, carex and ponga. The reserve also contains lowland kahikatea swamp forest with multiple stands of trees, some more than 400 years old. More boardwalks have been added in the past couple of years – replacing some of the earlier narrower ones - so it’s very accessible for families. The main loop suits all with careful supervision beside the stream. Information Time: Allow 60 minutes to explore. Accessibility: Mix of dirt paths and boardwalk. The steep entry point means it
is not suitable for bikes or buggies. Dogs: No dogs allowed. How to get there: Parking on Tauwhare Road opposite entrance to Woodcock Road.

On the beat with Senior Constable DEB THURGOOD Keep calm and call 111 Writing this, I have just returned from visiting Te Koo Utu Kohanga Reo. Last week I also got to visit Leamington Kindergarten. It was great to have the opportunity to meet the children, talk about road safety and get them up close and personal with a Police officer and car so they feel comfortable should they need us in future. It is so important that they know they can approach a Police officer for help when they need it (rather than being told ‘the Police will tell you off if you don’t behave” which I have sometimes heard parents say). Just as children can feel a bit apprehensive about interacting with Police, so too can adults and for many different reasons. Readers of my column will know that I am hot on trying to ensure our community report issues to Police. While reporting things via Facebook community groups, your local Neighbourhood Support Group and Cambridge Community

Patrol gets information through eventually, timeliness and clear information is key in addressing any issues. Your first port of call should be calling 111 yourself whenever something is happening that Police are needed to attend at the time. For years we were told to call Police in an emergency. That word emergency can be interpreted in different ways; many times in my career, someone who should have called Police didn’t because they didn’t consider their situation an ‘emergency’. I would like to change the narrative on that, ensuring people call 111 if you need a Police patrol to be despatched to an incident in progress. This is an incident which is ongoing while you are calling (for example, a family harm incident), something where offenders have only just left (for example shoplifting, even when the offenders have just driven
off and you have a vehicle description) or a suspicious person entering properties. Depending on the nature of your incident and what else is happening in the local area at the time, the job will be prioritised accordingly. The key thing is however that Police are aware, any other calls about the same incident can be considered together and we have the chance to address the situation. In a final note, recently Police were called by concerned members of the public about a confused, elderly lady out at night at KFC in Cambridge. Constables Bevan and Versey attended and discovered that she had caught the bus from her Hamilton resthome. She was returned home accordingly. We appreciate all those who alerted us directly to her situation so a safe and positive outcome could be achieved.

New pool attracts crowds, complaints Waipā By Mary Anne Gill
Waipā’s newest facility is attracting big numbers in its first days of operation not only from locals but also from neighbouring communities. Puna Kaukau O Te Oko Horoi (Perry Aquatic Centre) in Cambridge, opened on May 15 and has indoor, l e a r n e r / h y d r o t h e r a p y, toddlers, splash pad and outdoor pools. While Go Waipā would not release figures, the News understands pool users are not only coming from the Cambridge community but also from Te Awamutu, Morrinsville and Hamilton East/Tamahere. The Swim Waipā programmes for all ages and abilities is also being well
supported. The programmes run for parents and babies, pre-school and school age children. In addition, squad swimming for children with a good level of swimming ability and adult learn to swim classes are doing well. But members of the disability community remain unconvinced by Waipā District Council’s claims it consulted with stakeholders before opening the Cambridge pool. Brian Prescott says he will still take his daughter Anna to Waterworld Te Rapa to use the hydrotherapy pool despite Cambridge having one. Anna, who has polymicrogyria (a brain disorder) is in a wheelchair and weighs nearly 50kg.
She has cerebral palsy type symptoms and needs constant assistance. “Hydrotherapy is one thing she loves and with support she can float and move through the water,” says Mr Prescott. “We can change Anna into her togs at home and travel to the pool. We do that when a pool doesn’t have facilities. “But when we get to the pool, how does she get out of her wheelchair? “A trip to the pool needs two carers. And when she finishes her swim, what then? We need to lift a wet child back into her wheelchair and drive her home. Cold and wet.” Prescott concedes they could use the poolside hoist but lifting her out with that
will mean a wet wheelchair. “All these are just barriers to Anna doing something she loves. “We find that most people don’t understand how difficult a basic family outing is. Unless they have been in our shoes they couldn’t really,” he says. “Our biggest mistake was trusting Waipā District Council to listen to submissions. We blame ourselves for sitting back thinking it was going to get done. “No consideration had been given to a changing room suitable for people with disabilities, and they are now working through a process to source something suitable and figure out how it could be installed.”
New retirement village planned
Sleeping on it…
The Waikato Regional Council is considering an appeal against an independent commissioners’ decision to approve the rezoning of Ohinewai to clear the way for the development the “Sleepyhead Estate” – a major industrial and residential development.
Traffic delays
Motorists already frustrated by the congestion on Hamilton’s southern boundary were delayed further this week – two fallen trees, one hit by a vehicle, resulted in prolonged power cuts in the area and reduced traffic to a single lane. The trees came down opposite each other on Monday night and early Tuesday afternoon.
Racing extravaganza
Cambridge will host its second gallops meeting on its new synthetic track next Wednesday – and then stages harness racing’s biggest day of racing, the IRT Harness Jewels at Cambridge Raceway on the following Sunday, with nine Group One races and a total prize pool of $900,000.
The site of the new village, marked in yellow, announced this week by Ryman Healthcare.
Cambridge is to get another retirement village. Ryman Healthcare has announced it has bought sites in Cambridge and Karaka. It says the new villages, worth a combined $350 million, will free up homes and boost local economies. The news coincides with the announcement that work will start soon on 10 new houses for the elderly in Leamington. The one-bedroom units will be built at Vaile Court on the corner of Thompson and Shakespeare Streets and boost the existing Waipā District Council pensioner housing portfolio on the site to 26 dwellings. Ryman is New Zealand’s largest retirement village operator, and its villages are home to more than 12,500
residents. The new sites in Karaka and Cambridge will provide independent and assisted living options, resthome, hospital and dementia care. The company says both villages are in fast-growing areas where housing is in short supply and they will free up hundreds of homes in the housing market. “Our research shows South Auckland and the Waikato are both regions where demand for better retirement living and care are needed so we have been looking for possible sites for some time,” Ryman Chief Development Officer Jeremy Moore said. “ The Cambridge Rd site is on 8.6 hectares of rural land and will be part of a residential development. It could
eventually be home to more than 320 residents and be worth $150 million when completed. Meanwhile the district council has entered into a sale and purchase agreement with the Cambridge Cosmopolitan Club in Leamington to buy 3139 square metres of land adjacent to Vaile Court. That land would allow for construction of 19 more units. In their report to the council’s finance and corporate committee last week, property services manager Bruce Nunn and property projects manager John Miles said negotiations with a registered community housing provider to lease the properties were underway. The project is likely to be put out for tender next month with work starting sometime from July.
ties to PM
Continued from page 1
“A tie brings a pop of colour to an otherwise bland, formal outfit. It can be a talking point for things that matter to you, and an excellent ice breaker. A handmade tie is honestly the happiest tie you can buy,” she says. So, what about the pressure of producing a tie ordered by the Prime Minister for her Finance Minister? “I was standing outside Cambridge Town Hall when I got the call from the Prime Minister’s private secretary. She wanted a tie as part of a special tradition she had of presenting the Finance Minister with a tie on Budget Day. “We had just finished up going over the brief for the design and we ended the call just as the fire siren went off. I was so relieved that I’d finished the call just in time,” said Claire. Grant Robertson’s tie, like all made by Stitched, was made from New Zealand fabrics. The tie inners are made from bamboo and cotton lining from a supplier in the South Island and then handcut into tie shapes using specialised machinery by a small business in Auckland. The labels and flyers with care information are printed by two businesses on the North Shore. They all come together in Cambridge where Claire sews the pattern pieces on a vintage Bernina machine and then hand stitches the tie seam. The ties, which cost between $49 to $69, are then boxed in locally made, recyclable cardboard boxes and couriered in compostable sleeves. Claire has handmade 150 ties in the last year. “My biggest dream for my business is to see a tie revolution amongst men and even women,” she says.

Coffee stop to be parked By Mary Anne Gill
A truckie stop on Leamington’s Cook Street has created a problem for Waipā District Council and after months of consultation and debate resulted in the loss of most on-road parking. There are health and safety concerns coupled with considerable damage to footpaths and berms - and as a result only three parking spaces will remain on the portion of the street between the Victoria (high-level) Bridge and Shakespeare Road roundabouts. But council transportation safety officer Julie Taylor told Service Delivery committee members it was only a matter of time before those three spaces go as well and businesses would have to prepare for that. Cook Street has become a major arterial route through Cambridge for vehicles which are not suitable for the high-level bridge. About 10,000 vehicles a day, including 1200 trucks, travel along the road. Committee chair Grahame Webber said one of the most popular stops, particularly for truckies, is Cafe 9. While the cafe has customer off-street parking at the rear of its premises, those space are unsuitable for trucks. Adding to the problem, vehicles parked all day in a council-owned car park opposite Cafe 9, Ms Taylor said in
her report. The existing shoulder parking on Cook Street was too narrow and it made parking unsafe and as a consequence more vehicles were parked partly on the berms and footpaths to keep out of the traffic flow. She said because Cook Street was a designated major arterial route, traffic movement function took precedence over property access and parking. Cambridge Community Board members have twice debated the issue of whether to remove on-street parking, deputy mayor Liz Stolwyk said. “Doing nothing is not an option. It is a safety issue.” Ms Stolwyk said she considered part of Cook Street, which included Cafe 9 and other retailers, was part of Cambridge’s central business district. It was popular with cyclists as a transitioning stop, she said. Ms Taylor said a recommendation to remove on-street parking supported the efficient movement of traffic and freight within Waipā District and the economy as it recovered from the effects of Covid-19 restrictions. The committee opted to approve 120-minute parking restrictions to prevent all-day parkers. Parking could continue in nearby Burns Street. A 120-minute time limit would remain for the three remaining on-street parks to maintain regular turnover of vehicles.

Lions’ $50k donation By Viv Posselt
Cambridge Volunteer Fire Brigade personnel will soon be better equipped to respond to rural calls thanks to a $50,000 donation from Cambridge Lions that has helped fund the purchase of a new 4-wheel drive vehicle. Cambridge Lions President Jan Howie decided to make fundraising for the brigade’s purchase the president’s project for her year in office. The Lions year runs from July 1 to June 30; Jan will hand over the reins to the next president on June 26. “When looking for a project, I wanted to do something that would benefit the whole community, and this seemed to be a good fit,” she said. “Most of the money we raise comes from our Lions Shed. This year, we have given away over $179,000 since July 1 last year. It’s only thanks to community support that we can do this, and it all goes back into the community in one form or another.” The Lions’ $50,000 was the largest single donation received by the brigade towards the purchase of another vehicle. Cambridge Volunteer Fire Brigade Chief Don Gerrand said the off-road F-150 vehicle, being purchased new from the United States at a cost of around NZ$110,000, would be equipped

specifically to transport a full team of firefighters and their equipment into areas previously difficult to access. The formation of Fire and Emergency New Zealand (FENZ) in 2017 saw the amalgamation of rural fire districts and territorial authorities into one new organisation. Don said that move meant rural fires became the responsibility of voluntary brigades like Cambridge. Existing vehicles at the station have limited the brigade’s ability to get enough firefighters and their equipment into difficult-to-access areas. “This will make an enormous difference to the way we operate,” he said. “Where we could accommodate only
five fighters in our existing truck, we can now take eight and can go off-road. We can also carry all their equipment, including a lightweight pump and portable forestry hoses. The station’s existing F-140 is set up for accidents and medical emergencies … the new one will be set up for rural fire incidences.” Don expects the new vehicle, complete with the new body being made for the back, to be ready to roll in a few months’ time. “We are extremely grateful to the Cambridge Lions for their sizeable contribution,” he said. “The rest of the money has come in from other sources. We are really appreciative of their generosity.”

Rock ‘n’ roll romance stands test of time and grew up on a dairy farm in Waharoa, just out of Matamata. She was working at the Matamata telephone exchange when she met Irvine. After they married, they went sharemilking and set their sights on buying their own dairy farm, but skyrocketing prices robbed them of their dream. “For 12 years we were definitely going to buy a farm but every year the farm got further and further away,” Irvine said. “Dairy was booming, and the price of land was just going up and up.” While milking cows they had their three children, Kevin in 1962, Sharyn in 1964 and Simon in 1968. “When we brought Simon home, he used to be taken to the cowshed; we’d put a cot in there,” Zena said. “And as soon as we turned all the machines off, he’d wake up.” After giving up on buying their own farm, Irvine returned to driving milk tankers and

When Irvine Young got word there was a girl who liked him in the crowd one Saturday evening in 1957 at the Te Aroha Catholic Hall, he was “off like a shot” to meet her the second his band took a break. He found the love of his life. “She was the one,” said Irvine, who was 17 at the time and a drummer with popular rock ‘n’ roll band The Satellites. Fifteen-year-old Zena Portland had come to the gig and “liked the look” of Irvine sitting behind the drums. When the pair met on the dance floor, they felt an instant connection. “We just seemed to click,” Zena said. “We got together, and we’ve stuck together.” Irvine and Zena began dating that night and got married four years later at the Church of the Holy Angels in Matamata on May 6, 1961. Six decades, three children and eight grandchildren later they are still happily together. Now living at Resthaven Village, this month they celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary at Resthaven Community Centre with about 50 family members and friends. A letter from Pope Francis honouring their achievement now hangs in pride of place on their living room wall and they’ve also received cards and letters from
eventually became a tanker driver trainer, a job he did at Hautapu dairy factory for many years. During their retirement Zena and Irvine have enjoyed playing indoor and outdoor bowls together, travelling around New Zealand, and visiting their favourite spoton Australia’s Sunshine Coast, Mooloolaba. The secret to their long and happy marriage? “Good question,” laughs Irvine. “It was just meant to be, wasn’t it?” Zena said. “I think we’ve both got a lot of patience,” Irvine said. “You have your ups and downs, no doubt about that. But they’ve mostly been pretty good times. I’d have it again if I had a chance.” Zena’s advice to couples beginning married life is “just continue loving each other and still having fun somehow”. Irvine agrees. “You’ve got to enjoy your life.”

The Satellites, formed in September 1957 were hugely popular around Waikato venues. The original line-up of was Ken Wadsworth (saxophone), Dawn Wadsworth (piano), Ivor Fisher (vocals) and Irvine Young (drums). The band had their first gig at the Kiwi Fertiliser Works social in Morrinsville on September 17, 1957. The band played regularly at the Starlight Ballroom in Hamilton and later iterations would appear on the same card as Millie Small and New Zealand stars Maria Dallas, Ray Columbus, Ray Woolf and the Howard Morrison quartet.

MORTGAGE MATTERS
Free Up Your Cashflow
By Gavin Lynch – Yes Mortgages
Struggling with high interest rates on short term debts such as hire purchases, credit cards or personal loans?? THEN MAYBE YOU SHOULD CONSIDER DEBT CONSOLIDATION. What is debt consolidation? It’s the combining of several short term debts incurring high interest rates into one loan at a lower rate of interest. Who should consider debt consolidation? If you own your own home you can consolidate your short term debts into one loan by taking out a new mortgage against your house which is sufficient to pay off all the smaller debts. Remember - the cheapest money you can borrow is generally housing interest rates with your mortgage. What are the benefits of debt consolidation? You have only one repayment each month. You have to meet the repayment criteria of only one lender - your bank. Your overall interest rate will be lower - compare 4.25% on your mortgage with up to 22% on your credit card debt. The length of your term can be structured to suit your needs. Let me give you an example:A short term debt of $30,000 made up of two hire purchases, two credit cards and a personal loan may cost $1,200 per month in repayments. Consolidate this debt into a home mortgage and the repayments will come down to approx $180 per month over a 30 year term. Pay $580 per month over a five year term and the repayments are reduced by more than half and the $30,000 debt can be paid off in full in five years! If you would like to talk about consolidating debt, please call me at Yes Mortgages on 823 4531 or 021 783 266.

If you stand near the intersection of Racecourse and Forest Rds, you can have one foot in the Waikato electorate and the other in Taupō. Or bizarrely, there’s a whole lot of new housing and industrial area which is integral to Cambridge’s growth, firmly in the Waikato electorate. What do we have to do to be in an electorate with a name and a community connection we can readily identify with? Can we be in Waikato? That would make sense. Even

Letters… Māori wards What a sad day for the thousands of ratepayers who believe in democracy but were too afraid to write to council and express their opposition to the introduction of Māori wards for fear of a nasty backlash. With a bit of luck and the support of my fellow rate payers, this mayor and his soggy lily-livered councillors will be gone at the next election. Roger Gordon for Mayor, as he was the only councillor to vote no. “I don’t believe representation should be ethnicity-based,” Mr Gordon said. “I think if people believe in what they say and put themselves forward, they will be elected around the table in their own right. Absolutely. Gerald Stewart, Cambridge

There’s one thing that really bugs me about living in Cambridge. Why the hell do we live in the Taupō electorate? It’s been that way since 2007 when, because of declining population growth in Taumarunui, Raetihi and Ohakune, those places were taken out of the old Taupō electorate and into Rangitikei. Taumarunui and Cambridge tend to be add ons after the powers that be get their jigsaw puzzles out and add pieces until they have the right numbers for an electorate; plonking each of them into electorates with names neither of the towns identify with. The Taupō electorate, having ditched Taumarunui, Raetihi and Ohakune, needed more people in 2007 so in came Tokoroa, Putaruru and Cambridge’s 10,000 plus voters. Thus, in the 2008 general election Taupō, after years of being a marginal seat, became one of the safest National seats around. With all due respects to Louise Upston, who won the seat for National back in 2008 and has held it ever since, Taupō used to be one of those seats pundits on election night would keep their eyes on. For example, in 1981, National’s Roger McClay held on by 36 votes to beat incumbent Labour MP Jack Ridley. They used to call Ridley a real Jack in the Box, he was in and out of Taupō, voted in on a Labour wave in 1972,
ousted in 1975, back in 1978 then out again in 1981. He fell out with Labour and stood in the new Tongariro electorate as an independent in 1984 but Labour, again on a roll, delivered Noel Scott as its MP. Throughout the same period, Cambridge was part of the Piako, Matamata and Karapiro electorates – all very safe National seats. Other parties would try out their candidates on us. In 1975, Helen Clark stood for Labour and was well beaten by Jack Luxton, 1996 Tim Macindoe stood for United NZ and Sue Moroney for Labour and then in 2014, Jamie Strange threw his Labour hat into the Taupō ring. Clark, Macindoe, Moroney and Strange all went on to become MPs; Clark our 37th Prime Minister. And so to today. Cambridge, despite having a population of nearly 20,000, arguably New Zealand’s fastest growing town and a population which before 1989’s Local Government reforms, would have made us a city, languishes in the Taupō electorate, a name which most of its residents have little affinity with. It’s a question which could feature in a pub quiz or be the million-dollar winner in Who Wants to be a Millionaire – name the electorate the town of Cambridge in the North Island of New Zealand is in: a) Waikato b) Taupō c) Taranaki-King Country d) Hamilton West. The majority would probably go with Waikato the electorate which skirts around Cambridge’s boundaries

COMMUNITY BOARD
You spoke, we listened By Liz Stolwyk, Waipā deputy mayor
As a Councillor, the Long Term Plan (or 10 year plan) is one of the most important pieces of work you will do as an elected member in this term. Over the past two weeks we have read over 1500 submissions and listened to 65 submitters or delegations over two and a half days who asked to speak to their submission in person. That led into 13 hours of deliberation, and finally, a great plan for our community. You came to us and expressed your visions, aspirations and goals for the future of Waipā. This is the heart of local government and the reason for our existence. I was particularly heartened by the emergence of a clear youth voice which has had a significant influence in our decisions. The bottom line is a 4.8% rates increase that will come into effect on July 1, and 4.6% next year. On average, we are looking at a rates increase of 2.2% over the next 10 years. What’s in our next Long Term Plan for Cambridge? Court renewals at the Cambridge Racquets Club ($25,000); Master plan for Leamington Domain ($25,000); Sports field upgrade at John Kerkhof Park in Cambridge ($600,000) and maintenance ($80,000); Cambridge Town Hall Community Trust, catch-up repairs and maintenance ($120,000); Sport Waikato Regional Active Spaces plan ($11,850) and also an upgraded skate park for Cambridge (780K). I also want to stress that major investment in infrastructure is also budgeted for to keep our town running, and to continue planning for growth. This of course is just a snapshot of our plan going forward and if you would like more detail please do get in touch with me. Now to touch on the ’Streets for People’ trial around our town that has provided a great deal for us to talk about recently. I love the fact our town feels very connected to this project, and your voice is important – we have been listening. Following your feedback, very shortly Duke
Street will return to a twoway street. This trial has been extremely helpful in determining options for permanent solutions in the future. Rest assured that those ‘orange sticks’ will also soon be a thing of the past. Communities hold a huge amount of knowledge and skills, and there will be a local working group to consider any permanent solutions to enable safer paths to walk, cycle or scooter. Cook Street has also been very topical lately. With over 10,000 vehicle movements each day and community concern over safety and untidy parking and berm issues there will be a P120 installed shortly in the carpark on Cook Street. A lot of current street carparking will be removed, but on-street parking will remain in front of Café 9. Council will monitor this to see if it makes this street safer, so let’s see how this goes with a view that more changes may be needed in the future to ensure that this works for our local businesses too. This topic was discussed at the Community Board over two separate meetings. I do urge you to keep an eye on the agenda of your local community board - local issues need local voice. You can find this agenda and minutes at www.waipadc. govt.nz/our-council/agendas-and-minutes. Keep an eye out for our Transport Strategy review about to kick off shortly. This will include public transport, connectivity, river crossings to name a few – there is something for everyone in this review to comment on! Also, the Te Awa Cambridge to Hamilton cycleway is making great progress, its completion will be later this year. I’ll be at the next Lions Market Day on June 13 from 10-11am outside the BNZ bank. I would love to see you – you can tell me how much you love the new Cambridge Pool.

Leamington School students have fun getting behind Pink Shirt Day.
By Steph Bell-Jenkins
Leamington School celebrated Pink Shirt Day last Friday, with students invited to wear pink for a gold coin donation. The day was celebrated across the country, encouraging participants to “speak up, stand together and stop bullying – kōrero mai, kōrero atu, mauri tū, mauri ora”. Year 5/6 teacher Angela Karl, who organised Leamington School’s effort, said the children got behind the day. “As a school, we are really happy to recognise Pink Shirt Day, as bullying has
no place in our world and we are proud to play our part to teach our children how to recognise it, how it makes people feel, how to help others and where to get help if it happens to them.” Pink Shirt Day began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against the bullying of a student who had been harassed for wearing pink. They supported him by encouraging others in their class to wear pink t-shirts. The day is now celebrated across the globe. Leamington School raised $652 for the Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand.

TALKING ECONOMICS
The budget in focus By Peter Nicholl
Grant Robertson delivered the 2021 Budget on 20 May. Governments used to announce most of their new policies in their Annual Budget but nowadays Government policies are announced throughout the year. Most of the policies that were in this year’s Budget had been foreshadowed and weren’t surprises. The Government had delivered their surprises earlier in the year. One major item in the Budget was a $3.3 billion boost to benefits. This boost had certainly been foreshadowed. There was also another substantial increase to health funding. But the biggest policy announcement in the health sector, a major restructuring of health sector management with the elimination of the DHBs, had been announced earlier in the year. For me, the most interesting elements were the forecasts of the economy’s path over the next few years. Given the enormous uncertainties that forecasting has to deal with at present, they should probably be called ‘wish-lists’. The Treasury has revised its growth forecasts upwards and its unemployment forecasts downwards. They now expect the economy to grow by 2.9% this year and by 4.4% in 2023. Based on New Zealand’s historical growth record, we should be reasonably happy with this picture. But the growth rates are significantly lower than many other countries are experiencing and forecasting as they come out of the pandemic. The improved growth expectations also mean that the fiscal deficit and the debt levels are now not expected to be as high as previously forecast and the Treasury forecasts even include a small fiscal surplus – in 2027. House prices have been filling headlines recently. The Treasury are now expecting house price rises to peak this year at 17.3%. Growth rates are currently at or above that level, so the
FAITH IN WAIPĀ
The race of your life… By Murray Smith, Senior Leader, Bridges Church
Treasury is saying that the peak in house process has already arrived. The Treasury then expects prices to be flat in 2022 and to rise by a modest 2.5% per annum over the following four years. An article in the NZ Herald described these projections as ‘a collapse in house prices’. If prices stop rising, that is not a collapse. The definition of a collapse is ‘to suddenly fall down or give way’. In a subsequent article, the Herald described the projections as ‘a plateau’. That is a more realistic description. These ‘forecasts’ are clearly in the ‘wish-list’ category. While the Government want house prices to stop accelerating, they have said they don’t want them to fall either. This area will continue to be a problem for the Government because without falls in house prices, affordability indices that relate house prices to incomes will remain much higher than they were in the past in New Zealand – and much higher than they are in most other developed countries. The Budget increased the risks to inflation. The Treasury forecast that inflation will rise above the mid-point of the RBNZ’s target of 1-3% this year but will drop back to around 2% and stay there for the next five years. I think they are in cloud-cuckoo land with these inflation forecasts. They aren’t really forecasts at all - 2% just happens to be the mid-point of the RBNZ’s target range. Most commentators thought the increased inflation risks would mean that the RBNZ would start raising interest rates next year. I believed the inflation risks were already higher before the Budget than the RBNZ were anticipating so I think they will be forced to start raising interest rates later this year.
When someone bursts seemingly from nowhere - gaining a profile of ‘success’, whether in business, performing arts, the sporting world, or any other arena, the question is often asked, ‘where did they come from?’ Talent aside, there’s probably a backstory of perseverance and endurance - recognising and seizing opportunity, that has likely preceded any public awareness of such a person. Accomplishments inspire us, but equally, it’s unfortunate seeing people miss their potential or opportunity. I read of a man with one of the highest recorded IQs in Australia...he’s a street cleaner. Without disparaging anyone doing this needed work, I’ve wondered, given his giftedness, the reasons he would settle in that vocation. In spite of life’s possibilities …we’re all prone to accept ‘ceilings’ that limit us. People have been likened to three types of ‘bones’… The Jawbone talks about doing something and says, ‘one day I will do it’. The Wishbone thinks about doing something and wishes it could be done. The Backbone says, ‘it can be done, let’s start now’. Sixty seven years ago this month, a 25-yearold seized his ‘opportunity of a lifetime’.... He grew up in a modest, post-World War 2 home, and his parents couldn’t provide a prestigious education - but they did their best. His passion for running opened doors to study medicine at Oxford University where in 1954, Roger Bannister accomplished a feat that for years had been regarded as physically impossible… he broke the barrier of a sub 4-minute mile. His time was 3 minutes, 59 seconds. With the ‘ceiling’ lifted, 26 others went on to
equal and better Bannister’s sub 4-minute mile record in the following year. Years later (Sir) Roger Bannister who became a reputable neurologist said, “I believed the barrier was a psychological one rather than a physiological one”. Today the sub 4-minute mile has been eclipsed multiple times with the standing world record now 3.43.13, held by Moroccan runner Hicham El Guerrouj since 1999. Another young man who loved to swim, also achieved something considered impossible. In 1870 Captain Matthew Webb lathered himself in oil and set out from France to swim across the English Channel. The 39 miles to Dover took 22 hours of battling currents and stinging jelly fish. The Mayor of Dover led a welcoming ceremony for Webb saying, “never before in history has such a feat been accomplished and never again in the future will such a feat be accomplished…” Actually, hundreds have followed Matthew Webb...a 14-year-old girl halved his swim time plus many others have swum double crossings! In the Bible, an analogy is proposed of life being like ‘a race’. We’re invited into an amazing faith journey in relationship with the ultimate ‘Coach’ (God) who enables us to ‘run’ the race of life purposefully, not like someone running aimlessly. Our highest potential and purpose for existing can only ever be realised in this vital relationship. People miss opportunities in their lifetime…this is not one to reject - accepting God’s guidance and help in doing life as an imperative, not merely an option, changes everything.

AGE OF REASON
NO PLANET B
Of people and cars
Giving with one hand…
By Peter Carr
By Peter Matthews
Last weekend my wife and I – acting in our role as Fieldays volunteers – tramped around the southern edge of Cambridge distributing envelopes into many household letter boxes. This announced, or advised, the fact that, once again, Fieldays will be running buses from Cambridge to Mystery Creek over the four days of the much-loved event. There is history here – and sweet reason which it is hoped will be appreciated by the public. For several years, the Fieldays team, who drive in excess of $500 million of socio-economic worth annually, are not hell-bent on just cramming in cars onto the Mystery Creek land. That would bring with it associated traffic disruption, frustration, excess carbon-related emissions and occasionally grumpy drivers. Rather, some years ago a fledgling bus service was started between Hamilton and Mystery Creek aimed at reducing the traffic numerically, in carbon terms and increasing customer satisfaction. That it worked is a recognition of the volunteers, the supportive bus operators, the Fieldays management and an understanding public. Having overcome the start-up problems (there are always problems) that city service joins two major sources of Hamilton travelling public so that, two years ago, more than 10,000 people trips were accomplished. A couple of years ago it was decided to balance the flow from the north with a corresponding service from the south, hence the decision to target Cambridge. After much thought – and grappling with Council bureaucracy and costs – a parking site was determined in the Lamb Street area (actually two sites now) and the service will operate from dawn to almost dusk on the
busy four days in midJune. The purpose of our envelope drop at the weekend was to advise the local inhabitants that their area was to be the focal point of many off-road parked vehicles while people trooped on to and off the buses . Two years ago, in excess of 2000 people trips took place using the Cambridge hub which indicates that, given an opportunity, people can be sensible, caring for the community and appreciative of a safe, hassle-free journey. I was reminded of this event-related transport opportunity when taking my wife to lunch on Sunday for her birthday celebration. But we came upon a Victoria Street where every parking space was full. Not a space to be seen, raising the obvious question: what was going on? Well, the happening that caused the sparsity of vehicle parking opportunities was no less than a major cycle race that was setting off adjacent to that lovely area known for hosting cricket, picknickers and the Farmers Market. We have all had more than our fair share of frustration with cyclists travelling in other than single file on the local roads. We wound our way at snail’s pace past red plastic cones while cycle paths are being constructed. We should appreciate that the cycling – along with the Avantidrome, Lake Karapiro’s rowing and the equestrian events, are all now a part of the Cambridge thirst for economic success. That large growth areas of new housing are being developed, both north and south of the town, is reflective of that success.

The act of sending any person-to-person mail or parcels through NZ Post is now carbon neutral. That’s good to hear. NZ Post is doing many things to reduce its carbon footprint and is to be commended on that. But (you knew that was coming didn’t you?) whilst a lot is being done actually to reduce the amount of CO2 being emitted as a result of sending mail and parcels, there are a certain amount of ‘unavoidable’ emissions and these must be dealt with. This is done with carbon offsetting. Companies can purchase carbon credits to offset their carbon emitted. In fact, NZ Post go as far as to claim on their website that these credits ‘cancel’ their emissions. Great news - the negative impact of NZ Post’s mail and parcel sending activities are being cancelled. Except that they’re not, are they? Not really. I can purchase a carbon credit which will entitle me to release a tonne of CO2 into the atmosphere and then claim that it never happened. Carbon credits are created by investment in environmental projects around the world which aim to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases in the air - that’s good. Then the credit is used to offset greenhouse gases which are released into the air by someone else - back to square one: The land producing the carbon credit has, itself, effectively been cancelled. Now I haven’t done the calculations but with CO2 emissions on a steady rise across the globe, are there enough environmentally beneficial projects in existence to offset all of it? Could there be even if all the available land was used? Even if there could
be, it would still be a fundamentally flawed system. If you are doing something beneficial for the planet and I am doing something bad for the planet, by what authority do I appropriate your actions and claim that they cancel mine? By paying for it - I hear you say. Big deal I say. Any person with an eye for the future should be doing all they can to preserve, conserve, and protect our planet anyway, without expecting the spinoff of being able to duck out of their responsibilities in an entirely separate arena. Apart from that, some of the credits being purchased on the global market are decidedly dodgy in themselves; ask a member of Kenya’s indigenous Sengwer people, 15,000 of whom have been forcibly displaced from their ancestral lands (a move which has been described as a genocidal land grab) to make way for, amongst other things, green initiatives on behalf of which carbon credits are being sold internationally. So, when you send a letter from your local post office, where you’ll probably see a poster of an NZ Post staff member hugging a tree, spare a thought for the person, tree, ONLY insect, flower, bird, or animalPLANET which may well have been cancelled elsewhere.

Obituary: ALFRED ‘ALF’ KNEEBONE – April 27, 1923 - May 11, 2021
Alf leaves to the strains of Acker Bilk By Viv Posselt
Among the qualities that made Alf Kneebone a legend in his time was his sharp wit, his sense of humanity, and the attention to detail that made him one of the finest racing journalists of his era. He also possessed that rarest of attributes … an ability to remain non-judgemental. Son Michael told those attending Alf’s packed May 18 funeral at St Peter’s Catholic Church in Cambridge that his father’s aversion to judging anyone made him a favourite as much with the rich and powerful as with the battlers. “It stood him in great stead raising the many thousands of dollars he did for our schools and clubs. It was also the reason he and mum spent countless hours doing ‘Meals on Wheels’ runs.” Alf died at Cambridge Lifecare on May 11, aged 98. He was husband to the late Frances, father to their 12 children, and grandfather to 26 grandchildren and 22 great-grandchildren, with another on the way. Michael described him as a kind, understanding and generous father, one who was proud of each of his offspring. “Dad was a great listener. His attention to detail, particularly in his articles, was second to none.” Alf’s life as a racing journalist, fuelled by childhood experiences that served only to intensify his early passion for horses, was set in motion only after he completed service in World War Two and started his long career with the Waikato Times. Born in Cambridge, he rode a horse to Leamington Primary School with his brothers and was just seven when the legendary New Zealand-bred racehorse Phar Lap won the 1930 Melbourne Cup. The die was cast. Years spent working with horses led to a lifelong fascination, that Michael said resulted in “one of the most remarkable careers in racing journalism ever and the making of a legend.” Alf was a regular at the Melbourne Cup, and was still an accredited member of the Press when attending the Cox Plate at 88.
Alf Kneebone, racing journalist and lover of the clarinet, died in Cambridge earlier this month.
His marriage to Frances in 1948 led to decades of heady, family life recalled with delight by Michael.
WE HAVE MOVED TO 39 ALBERT STREET
“Picture the chaos of 22 Kneebone children growing up in the same street in Hamilton. Dad’s brother lived with his wife and 10

children just one house away from mum and dad and their brood of 12. The neighbours in between moved on regularly,” he smiled. “Dad was in his element. There were cricket balls through windows, we were wrecking stuff, burning or smashing stuff… being injured, but he was always supportive. Dad was a talented athlete and rugby player… golf later became his sport of choice. He enjoyed nothing more than coaching or attending as many of our games and sports activities as possible and was attending his grandchildren’s sporting activities well into his 90s.” Alf’s much-lauded attention to detail slipped only in later years as his eyesight dimmed. It resulted in a couple of wardrobe malfunctions which were at odds with his early, dapper years. One involved a decision to fly home in a new shirt, picked out for its lively pattern. On greeting him, Frances stopped shy of the usual hug and demanded to know what he thought he was wearing. It turned out the pattern he thought looked like telephones were naked ladies. The shirt was never seen again. Another wardrobe clanger Michael revealed had Alf travel to Whanganui for the launch of his son Tony’s book, The Paynes. “Dad got to the motel and found he had his jacket but had mistakenly packed one of mum’s skirts instead of his pants. He still looked bloody good in his trackies!” Alf was in the Royal New Zealand Air Force, and while he seldom spoke of those years, the wartime medals placed on his casket attest to a job well done. It was while serving that he stumbled across the other love of his life – the clarinet. He learned the basics and spent the rest of his life playing the instrument, buoyed by a natural talent for music that he has passed on to numerous family members. “He was a remarkable man who touched hundreds, if not thousands, of people’s hearts in the most humble of ways,” said Michael. “His was a life well lived.” In 2013 Alf played Moon River with Neil Finn.

And then there were seven By Roy Pilott
The swing from opposition to support for Māori wards in Waikato for the 2022 elections was complete when Waikato became the sixth of 11 local authorities to vote for them. It came 24 hours both Waipā and Hamilton City reversed earlier decisions not to introduce them. Before the change in legislation announced
by Local Government minister Nanaia Mahuta in February, the total number of district councils with Māori wards was just three - Wairoa District Council, Bay of Plenty Regional Council and Waikato Regional Council. Waikato became the 35th council out of 78 local authorities to vote yes. By last Friday’s deadline Waikato, Hamilton City, Matamata-Piako, Waipā,
Six district and city councils, shown in green have joined the regional council in backing Māori wards - four have opted for the status quo.
Cambridge Tree Trust
Ōtorohanga and Taupō had followed the lead taken seven years earlier by the Waikato Regional Council. South Waikato, Waitomo, Thames Coromandel and Hauraki are the odd ones out – and three have indicated they want to look at Māori wards again with iwi involvement. South Waikato maintains that as a multicultural community it already enjoys a diverse range of cultures within its council. Hauraki mayor Toby Adams told the News his council considered establishing Māori wards when it met in July last year. “At that time, it resolved not to establish Māori wards because it had not had the opportunity to korero with Hauraki iwi. The Council wants to work closely alongside local iwi on this and had planned to start engagement in early 2020. Unfortunately, this process was stalled due to Covid 19 and the Council doesn’t want to rush a decision now, without first having those important discussions.” The Waitomo District Council opted against a Māori seat in 2018. “Council has not formally revisited this matter since the legislation change but has acknowledged that we need to engage and consult with iwi as the establishment of Maori Wards is a call for Maori first to make and Council needs to get the process right,” Michelle Higgie, Manager, Governance Support, told the News. “We need to have iwi lead, or at the very least assist the development of the process with us. To that end Mayor [John] Robertson has already opened discussions with the Regional Marae Committees and the Maniapoto Maori Trust Board on the establishment of Maori Wards for the 2025 and future elections.”
Thames Coromandel District has taken a similar stance, rejecting Māori wards last October, then having further discussions last month before deciding “that further engagement should be undertaken with the local iwi to ascertain their interest in establishing Māori wards”.
Māori leaders applaud councils Waikato-Tainui executive chair Linda Te Aho says the creation of Māori wards align to the expectations of a modern and contemporary democracy that is more representative of its region. Following the Hamilton and Waipā decisions she acknowledged the leadership of Hamilton mayor Paula Southgate. Of Waipā she said: “with only one dissenting vote, its decision today led by Mayor Jim Mylchreest shows the region has the foresight to implement and process and act decisively”. Te Whakakitenga o Waikato Chair Parekawhia McLean said she hoped the creation of the new wards would help strengthen the relationship between Waikato-Tainui and councils. “The councillors who voted for these wards will be recognised as courageous leaders who modernised the regions’ governance structure despite a climate of hostility that was promoted by a small but loud minority,” said Parekawhia. “We will not always agree but today’s decision provides our people with a voice at the table to express an Iwi/Maori view on all matters in front of these Councils.

Some of the oldest, gnarliest olives in New Zealand can be found in Cornwall Park, Auckland, but the one shown here is only 12 years old and growing on a hilltop garden near Maungakawa Road. The olive can live 2-3000 years and still produce fruit. The old gnarled trunk can be chopped down and the tree will sprout again from the stump. The undersides of the leaves are silvery due to microscopic scales that reduce evaporation in heat and high wind. Under magnification these scales resemble tiny, frilly, overlapping parasols, about 1/6 mm across.
both cooking and lighting. In many languages the words for oil (Italian olio, French huile) derive from the Greek term for olive. Olives for eating are picked both half-ripe and ripe, while olives for oil are always picked ripe. The olive was first taken to Lima in the Americas by the Spaniard, Antonio de Rivera, in 1560.
In Judaism, Christianity and Islam the olive is associated with light, sustenance and religious purifications such as anointings and sacrificial offerings. In the Old The Olive Testament story of the flood, it was an olive (Olea europaea) branch that the dove The olive’s natural range brought back to Noah as in Europe and North Africa more or less defines a sign that both the waters and God’s wrath had the Mediterranean world.

Harvey Skinner has become the first Cambridge resident to achieve a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. BJJ is a martial art, selfdefence system and combat sport based on grappling, ground fighting and submission holds. Harvey loves it because it’s “more like chess than fighting”. “It’s your move versus your opponent’s move and generally the smarter one or the better prepared one wins,” he said. Getting a black belt is a feat that’s taken more than 13 years, but for the Waipā engineer it has always been about the journey rather than the destination. “To be honest it probably doesn’t mean as much to me as other people,” he said. “It’s a symbol for other people to look at but I don’t feel any different. No superpowers have suddenly kicked in. But it is cool being recognised by your peers.” Harvey has been involved in martial arts for more than 20 years and was a black belt in incorporated martial arts when he first stumbled across Brazilian jiu-jitsu in a seminar in 2007. He loved it so much he shut down the IMA syllabus he had been teaching in Cambridge and started learning and teaching Brazilian jiu-jitsu from scratch, trading his IMA black belt for a BJJ white belt. Today his club, Ground Control Cambridge, is flourishing, with adult and children’s classes running several nights a week. Shona Barker, whose children Cole and Jade have been in his junior class about five years, is amongst those applauding his achievement. She describes Harvey as “a very humble, caring guy” who “really just does it for the people and the sport”. “He’s a great role model for the kids,” she said. “It’s all about dedication and

confidence. “I have one student who, when she started, whenever she got taken down to the ground she’d burst into tears,” he said. “But after a while, she’d just get up and carry on fighting. Now, when life knocks her back, she just gets up and carries on fighting. And that’s an awesome attitude to have.” One of the proudest moments in his martial arts career was learning about how one of his students had dealt with an altercation at school. “There was a bully attacking someone and he stepped in the way and said no, that’s wrong, you can’t do that,” Harvey said. “He stood up to the bully and the bully backed off and the whole thing was diffused and he never laid a single punch. I thought that’s the best outcome ever.” Having achieved his black belt, Harvey’s next goal is to find a bigger gym in Cambridge for his thriving club.
Join the panel, trade businesses told
Waipā District Council is setting up a trade services panel and is encouraging trade businesses in the district to sign up. Once established, the panel will include trade businesses that have gone through a procurement process and agreed on response times, rates and call-out fees with the council. Applications for Council’s trade services panel close on June 25. Procurement advisor Adele Bird said the main advantages of having a panel are greater clarity around costs and
timelines. “This helps us manage jobs better, especially if the job is urgent.” “We’re looking for all sorts of trades including electrical, carpentry, fencing, painters and glazing. The type of work on offer is varied, so this is relevant to both sole traders and larger businesses,” she added. To be eligible to apply, businesses must service the Waipā district and be capable of responding to urgent requests. Last financial year Council spent approximately $3

Described by NZ Musician magazine as one of New Zealand’s “kings of country rock”, Pickett died in 2011. Several memorial concerts were held in remembrance, and the money was gifted to Cambridge High School for a scholarship in his name, to go towards helping a student succeed in music. Music has been a part of Georgia’s life since age five. She performed in her first musical age six, and has been singing, in choirs and productions, ever since. She’s recently been entered in the Waikato Singing Competition. Asked to choose between musical theatre and songwriting, Georgia couldn’t pick. “Just getting up on stage, singing for people. That’s what I really enjoy,” she said.

Council will run breakfast events in Cambridge and Te Awamutu to give interested trade businesses the opportunity to hear about the panel, look at the application process, and ask questions. These will be held at Mitre 10 Te Awamutu on 27 May and Mitre 10 Cambridge on 11 June. To register for either event or for more information visit waipadc.govt.nz/ workingwithcouncil.
Georgia strikes right note The definitive moment was six years ago - at the Auckland Town Hall, performing in front of over 1000 people. That’s when year 12 Cambridge High student Georgia Willats, the 2021 recipient of the Richie Pickett scholarship for music, knew she wanted to sing for a career. “The rush I got then was just incredible,” she remembered. “And I was like: I just want to do that again and again and again.” Georgia, who will perform as the lead in CHS’ musical production this June as Morticia from the Addams family, was awarded the Ritchie Pickett scholarship for excellence in music earlier this year.
Georgia Willats
Half of the money she won through the scholarship is going towards vocal lessons, with the goal of getting into the Auckland youth choir. The other half is going into musical performance gear - Georgia has purchased a microphone and music software with the hope of writing and producing her own songs.

Big day in store for Hautapu
Hautapu will have eyes focussed firmly on a win over Morrinsville in Waikato premier rugby on Saturday - but the day will also see the club concentrating on raising money to fight cancer. Players will don a commemorative jersey for the game – and those laundered shirts will be auctioned off as part of the fund raising on the day. The race to the top in the new look club competition has a familiar feel to it after just two games with reigning champs Hautapu and Fraser Tech the only teams with a pair of wins.
Morrinsville has two losses – but a 29-18 home loss to Ōtorohanga last weekend after a 35-30 defeat at Te Awamutu suggest the Cambridge club will face an improving side. The premiers beat Melville 32-15 last Saturday at Collins Road, having found themselves behind early on. Melville was fired up early and raced to a 10-nil lead. Hautapu responded with a dominant forward effort to take the lead by halftime and then come home with a wet sail and pick up a vital four try bonus point in the process.
In May 2023 Cambridge’s Rugby Referees’ Association will celebrate 100th birthday – and to acknowledge the refs, today we continue a regular profile series on the people with the whistles.
Meet the ref… By Rupert Friend
I took up the whistle at the age of 20. I had loved playing through my school years and while at University I suffered 3 serious injuries in a season. I was advised by my physio to “give the game away” but still wanted to stay active and really wanted to still be involved in rugby. As my father had been a referee during his teaching years, I decided to give it a go and I never looked back. I am still actively refereeing 29 years later, and I really enjoy it. It has helped me keep fit, which was also important for my work and I have been able to do this wherever in the country I have been. On arriving in a new town it has always been a great way to meet people and make some great friends. Across the years I have refereed in Manawatu, Wellington, Counties Manukau and now here in the Waikato, based in Cambridge. I have also
had the joy of refereeing overseas, refereeing a touring School 1st XV in Malaysia and in 2019 I spent three weeks in Hong Kong refereeing at an international tournament. I have spent a number of years refereeing at Premier level, including being a TMO for ITM Cup, and now am enjoying refereeing at the next level down as I get a little older. I have found refereeing to be a great way to enjoy rugby from the best seat in the house and an added bonus was it was really easy to fit in with shift work, as opposed to being part of a team where you have to be there at the same time every week. For anyone contemplating it, just give it ago, I highly recommend it. We love having new members come along and take up the whistle!
Try scorers’ were prop Nico Aandewiel, Number eight Tom Florence and replacements, half back Daniel James and hooker Shaye Retemeyer. First five Coby Miln chimed in with penalties and 3 conversions. In a game where it was difficult to single out forwards, lock James Thompson picked up player of the day. The Hautapu backline also had the edge on their opponents who had plenty of class and representative talent - which seemed to add fuel to the fire of midfielders Paula Mahe and Jason Thomason.
On attack there was none better than winger Mosese Dawai and half back Quin Ngatai. Hautapu Sports Premier B Team produced their best form in some weeks in losing 22-19 to Melville, who are strong contenders in the division. Hautapu almost grabbed a draw but Cam Steele’s late penalty went just wide. Hautapu’s front row of Bill Smith, Oscar Anderson, and Nick Simes were dominant at scrum time against a much heavier pack, and lock Chad Brewer played his best
Leamington aim for three Leamington will look to make it three from three in the Lone Star championship when they travel to Eastern Suburbs on Saturday. The Blues won 23-10 last time out at Hinuera to be one of only three clubs with two wins for two games in the new competition. University and Matamata, who dropped down from the premier division three weeks ago, continued their winning runs last weekend. University, with a plus 134 points differential after two matches will host Hinuera on Saturday while Matamata, 52 points to the good, hosts Pirongia. University was well off the premier pace but has been a force at the Championship level – last weekend winning 66-7 at Ōhaupō. Matamata also hit 60 in beating Tokoroa based rivals Southern United. Ōhaupō is at home to Southern on Saturday. Leamington’s reserves won 35-5 at Hinuera last weekend, the Under-85kg side was beaten 29-0 at Marist and the colts lost 38-8 at Morrinsville. The Championship round clash in Hinuera was tight battle for the first quarter with Hinuera’s physical approach causing Leamington some headaches. Leamington’ pace out wide came into play and they nudged ahead to win thanks to tries to Hayden Ivil, Jarrod Davey and Mitch Abbott a conversion and penalty to Robert Day and a penalty to Keegan Dickey. The Senior B’s came up trumps despite being a few players short. Robert Day kicked two penalties and a conversion for a 13-0 lead at half time. Second half tries went to James Keeley, Leighton Penu and Phil Perry. Brett Pyke converted two and slotted a penalty for the 35-5 win.

game of the season. Hautapu’s Colts were called on to make a huge number of defensive tackles for large portions of their game against a well drilled Marist, giving up territory in the process. Unsurprisingly this allowed Marist Colts to run our deserved winners by 35-10 although three of their tries came in the last 10 minutes. Halfback Ben Strang stood out in the first half, replacement backs Mercedes Hodge and Maia George in the second, and try scorers Blake Seavill and Juita Busele were rewarded for their solid efforts.

As autumn passes and the long nights of winter are starting to settle in, we can expect to see changes in the garden. Rain helps replenish soil by adding moisture and autumn leaves drop to provide natural compost on the garden surface. Use these rainy days to plan ahead for future plantings, also to clean and sharpen your tools for pruning. Strawberry time Choose a well-drained sunny position. Prepare the ground with compost and strawberry fertiliser, work well into the soil. If planted now they will start producing in October through to the new year. Strawberries should be replaced every two years in the home garden, this ensures healthy and abundant crops. Citrus When picking your fruit, make sure to cut the fruit off with secateurs and cut back into the bush, rather than pulling the fruit off. Winter is the best time to prune larger branches, if done in summer it can attract unwanted citrus borer bugs. Follow the pruning with a spray of copper to help seal cuts and prevent fungal infections. Feijoas Prune following the picking of fruit. Older bushes will benefit from being cut back into the old wood to rejuvenate the bush. Flowers Pots can add a splash of colour during winter. Pansies, viola, primula and poppies are all winter favourites. Always cut dead flower heads off and feed to encourage more flowers. Vegetables Continue planting winter greens. Silver beet, spinach, cauliflower, cabbage, broccoli and winter lettuce. If the ground is too cold then you can substitute for large pots in a sunny position. The team at Amber Garden Centre are looking forward to the arrival of the new season stock of our deciduous and fruit trees. Follow our social media and sign up to the Amber Card to get notified of their arrival. We are also taking pre orders, so give us a call today. Happy gardening and stay warm.

Title chasers play at home
Both of Cambridge FC’s competitionleading football teams have home games this weekend, giving spectators the chance to see the club’s men’s and women’s teams in action. On Saturday, Cambridge host Papamoa at John Kerkhof Park (2.45pm) as the home side looks to maintain its two-point lead at the top of the WaiBOP Championship. On Sunday, Cambridge women’s team play Morrinsville at John Kerkhof Park (11am) and a win will ensure they keep their lead in the Waikato division 2 competition. Meanwhile, the club’s first team, the Reds, head to Auckland for a Lotto NRFL second division match against Franklin United. Cambridge teams had mixed fortunes last weekend. The Reds lost 5-1 to league leaders Onehunga Mangere United. The damage was done by United striker Maksim Manko who made a triumphant return to Cambridge where he was a familiar face when he played for WaiBop United, the national league side based at the club in 2014-15. Manko scored a hat-trick of headers (4’, 20’, 72’). The visitors led 2-0 before Cambridge pulled back a goal in the 34th minute through winger Ewan Donald who finished a fiveman move. Going into the second half 2-1 down, Cambridge still looked capable of clawing back the initiative, but a 10-minute spell changed the game. Onehunga went 3-1 up when Scott Lewis headed home a corner, and then Cambridge were awarded a penalty. Donald whacked the spot kick against the post and then in the frantic follow-up play, he was sent off for a second yellow card.
The Reds defend a corner against Onehunga Mangere United.
Almost immediately, Manko scored his third goal and the game was as good as over, though substitute Max Kwan added a fifth late in the match. Earlier, Onehunga Mangere’s U-23 team beat Cambridge’s U-23s 6-1. Cambridge’s goal was scored by 17-yearold James Wilkinson, his first goal at senior club level. In the WaiBop Championship, Cambridge’s title hopes were helped by a 4-1 win against Waipa rivals Te Awamutu. Cambridge took the lead after only three minutes through Player of the Day Jordan

Silvester. Haydn Roil doubled Cambridge lead in the 37th minute, scoring his former club. A crucial point in the game came at the start of the second half when Te Awamutu were reduced to 10 men when Sean Stringfellow was given his second yellow card by referee Graham Barlow. Cambridge increased their lead after 76 minutes through Tom Woutersen’s seventh goal of the season. With seven minutes left, Te Awamutu pulled back a goal through captain Joel Roil – brother of Cambridge’s Haydn – but
Cambridge responded almost immediately, adding their fourth goal through Ryan Ashby. On Sunday, Cambridge’s women’s team cruised to a 6-1 win at Huntly Thistle. Olivia Milne laid the platform for the win with her first hat-trick in senior league football while captain Steph Upton, Sophee Rapson-Jones and Auryn Maroney scored the others. Player of the Day was Melissa Kemp. In the senior men’s competitions, Cambridge beat St Paul’s Corinthians 4-2 in Waikato Division 1. Striker Peter Buesnel scored all his side’s goals, taking him to 10 goals for the season and leadership in the club’s Golden Boot contest. Buesnel and Tom Gifford shared Player of the Day honours. In Waikato Division 4, Cambridge lost their first game of the year, beaten 3-2 by West Hamilton United. The Hamilton side took a 3-0 lead in the match, but Cambridge fought back with two goals from Shane Gray. In the over-35s competition, Cambridge D1s lost 2-1 at Claudelands Rovers. Cambridge’s scorer was Miguel Peterle. The club’s other team in the league lost 3-0 under floodlights at Melville United. In the WaiBop federation youth leagues, all three Cambridge teams won away from home. The U-15s beat Tauranga City 3-1 to record their first win of the season, with Cameron Smith scoring a hat-trick. The U-13s beat Papamoa 4-1 with goals from Jesse Macdonald, Luca Savage, Luke Brooke-Smith and Oscar Gifford. The U-12s beat Taupo 3-2. Scorers were Mylo Maloney (2) and Kawepo Mullins.

Organisers hail first meeting
By Blair Voorend
It was an historic day for Cambridge and the New Zealand racing industry last week with the official opening of its new synthetic track and for organisers it couldn’t have gone better. Cambridge Jockey Club chief executive Mark Fraser-Campin said it was a good day’s racing with some strong numbers in the crowd and an estimated 1000-plus audience on hand.
“It was very much a festival atmosphere and a track that we want to give people that country style feel,” he said. “We didn’t have any complaints and with good food and $5 beers everyone seemed to have an enjoyable day.” Among the race goers were former racing minister Winston Peters and New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing chief executive Bernard Saundry. While the crowd was enjoying the meeting those involved on the track
Checking out the Chiefs
Cambridge High players were given the chance to train and watch the Chiefs at Ruakura last week. Year 9 to 13 students were rotated around three skills stations which focussed on different exercises and skill sets ranging from decision making, kicking, passing, and spatial awareness to competitive relays. Students trained with community rugby coaches and then watched the Chiefs as they ran a training session at the Chiefs HQ on Dojo Field in Ruakura. Pictured from left were Chiefs players Jo Apikotoa, Gideon Wrampling, Sione Mafileo, Bryn Gatland, Jonah Lowe and Pita Gus Sowakula with students Noah Cooper, Mason Johnson and Lochie Hoy The day was a Fujifilm Business Innovation New Zealand sponsored community event.
were as well, - Fraser-Campin said racing on the track seemed to get more competitive throughout the day. “There were a lot of little negative things people thought they would find from the track, but everyone seemed to be impressed by it and even the jockeys noted that they weren’t coming back covered in mud which would normally happen this time of year.” The country’s second synthetic track at Riccarton is expected to open

in August and 10 horses were among the contingent which travelled north to get a feel for what they would be getting back home. “They thought that locals would have an unfair advantage on the track because we train on it, but there were a good range winners and close competition across the field which they seemed to be impressed by,” Fraser-Campin said. The second meeting at the track will also be a Wednesday meet, on June 2.

WINTER WARMTH 2021
Central heating: Quickly becoming a well used system disability or long-term illness.
While heating systems such as heatpumps and fire places are common and well known in kiwi homes it is the central heating systems that are becoming a well used system over recent years as kiwis move towards a different way of heating their homes.
The lower-temperature heat sources in each room are safer than high-temperature appliances, with a reduced risk of burns. Central heating can provide more effective and energy-efficient convective space heating when rooms have individual thermostatic control, when there are a number of rooms with similar heating requirements regarding temperature and times that heat is needed.
With central heating systems, heat is supplied by a single unit and is circulated to multiple rooms inside the house. Heating may come as warm air through floor, ceiling or wall outlets, or warm water passing through underfloor pipes, radiators and even towel rails. Systems are tailored to meet the needs of the individual house, and yet while they are used in many houses overseas they are not that common in New Zealand but over recent years have become a growing favourite for new built New Zealand homes. Part of the reason for this is that so many New Zealand houses have such poor levels of insulation that operating a central heating system can be expensive because of the heat loss. If you are considering a central heating system as a retrofitted heating option for an existing home, first ensure that there are sufficient levels of thermal insulation in the house.
Most central heating systems use gas or electricity. Gas boilers are cost-effective in most parts of the country where reticulated natural gas is available. LPG boilers usually have the highest running costs, being twice the cost of natural gas (measured as cents per kWh) is not unusual. Some systems use compressed wood pellets or energy-efficient sources such as heat pumps, waste heat recovery, or the absorption of passive heat (for example, solar radiation). Though both air and water have reasonable heat storage capacity, there are always some energy losses between the heating unit and the room.

These heat losses can be reduced by minimising the length of duct/pipe run, minimising cross-section area, maximising flow rate, improving insulation, and running the ducts/pipes through spaces with warmer temperatures. Central heating systems can provide a very efficient form of heating when in the right housing environment and can be 70-90 percent more efficient than other heating systems. A central heating system has a slower response to changes in room heating requirements. The delay will increase with longer duct/pipe runs and will be greater in systems using water to transfer heat from the plant to the rooms. Central heating suits families with small children, elderly people and people with a
Also it gives the benefit of just working with one central heating unit instead of a number of room heaters. Drawbacks of central heating include its installation costs, with prices ranging from $8,000–15,000 is common for a small to medium-sized house. Also with limited control over heat output within each individual space without suitable feedback from each space (for example, separate thermostats), also with this heating system it can cause a time delay before heat output is changed to meet heating demand. So if you’re looking for an efficient and easy way of heating your entire home take a look at a central heating system.

Sweet on gluten-free
I love to indulge in winter puds but I usually limit my treats to visits from friends or family. For me, hot, saucy, sweet endings to meals are cheerful comfort food. And as we have a couple of gluten-intolerant family members coming to stay, this week’s creations are wheat and gluten-free. About 10 per cent of New Zealanders suffer from coeliac disease — a lifelong intestinal intolerance to gluten in the diet. But many don’t even know it. Symptoms can include chronic fatigue, bloating, headaches, itchy skin and irritable bowels. Gluten is a protein that is stored in certain starches including wheat, barley, rye and oats. In wheat, the gluten is the stretchy protein that allows bakes to hold their shape once they have risen. With gluten-free baking mixes extra raising agents are required or more eggs are needed in a recipe to assist the bake to rise. Gums such as guar and xanthan are often used to thicken and stabilise gluten-free products. Only a little is required These days there are numerous products on supermarket shelves to help gluten-free cooks. Plus, the New Zealand Coeliac Organisation (coeliac.org.nz) has some great resources. Check out Coeliac Awareness Week from June 7-13. GLUTEN-FREE FEIJOA & APPLE PIE A free-form pie. Excellent served with a gluten-free custard or ice cream. Pastry: 1/3 cup icing sugar 1 1/2 cups gluten-free flour 125 g butter chilled cubed 1-2 tablespoons icy water Filling: 1 egg, separated 300g each: feijoas, Granny Smith apples 1/4 cup ground almonds 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 3 tablespoons caster sugar Place the icing sugar, flour and butter in a food processor and mix until well combined. Add enough water so the ingredients form a ball. Flatten the dough and wrap in cling film. Chill for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 190°C. Lightly beat the egg white and yolk in separate bowls.
Gluten-Free Feijoa & Apple Pie
Slow Cooker GF Chocolate Pud
Peel and slice the feijoas. Peel, core and slice the apples. Roll out the pastry on a sheet of baking paper to form a 30cm round. Brush the pastry with the egg yolk leaving a 5cm border free around the outside. Sprinkle the egg yolk with the ground almonds. Arrange the feijoas and apples on top. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of the caster sugar and cinnamon combined. Fold the pastry edges over the fruit. Brush the pastry with the egg white and sprinkle with the remaining sugar. Lift the baking paper and pie onto an oven tray. Bake for abut 30 minutes until golden and cooked through. Serves 6.
Pour down the sides of the slow cooker insert. Cover and cook on high for 1 1/2 – 2 hours. The cake top will come away from the sides and the sauce will bubble up around the edges. Great served with ice cream or whipped cream. Serves 8.
SLOW COOKER GF CHOCOLATE PUD This pudding is self-saucing. Any leftovers can be reheated in the microwave. A little water may be required to loosen the sauce. 1 cup lightly packed brown sugar 2 cups plain gluten-free flour 6 tablespoons cocoa powder 1/2 teaspoon each: xanthan gum, salt 4 teaspoons baking powder 1 cup milk 1/4 cup canola oil 1 teaspoon vanilla essence Sauce: 1 1/2 cup brown sugar (not packed) 1/2 cup cocoa powder 3 cups boiling water Spray a slow cooker insert with oil. In a large bowl, combine the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, xanthan gum, salt and baking powder. Mix well. Stir in the milk, oil and vanilla until combined. Place evenly over the base of the slow cooker. Turn the cooker to high. Combine the brown sugar, cocoa powder and boiling water.

Experience is not necessary as training included in price Here is an opportunity to purchase a highly respected, well established business. Complete with equipment, stock, reference books, established client records, and website (www. cambridgepictureframing.co.nz). This business is run from our home garage on a part time basis. Double garage conversion kit is included. There is a growing demand for picture framing services and this demand is partly due to expanding population in this fast growing area. Potential for expansion exists by advertising locally, increasing hours, increasing product range – ie art supplies, framed prints etc. No heavy lifting, so business will appeal to male or female purchasers of any age. Genuine reason for sale – owner retiring after 15 years. Asking price is $55,000 – business is self funding after that.
