X-Sited at Fieldays

X-Site managing director Hamish Lamb at Fieldays.

By Mary Anne Gill

One of the busiest businesses at Fieldays this week is the Waipā-based X-Site Group which is now New Zealand’s largest privately-owned event management company.

Popular sites like Swanndri and Fonterra and previously Holden, owe their innovativeness and creativity in part to managing director Hamish Lamb and his team.

But on the eve of Fieldays, Lamb acknowledged the events company he has owned for more than 20 years came perilously close to going under as Covid-19 bit into the country’s thriving events industry.

Before lockdown in March last year, the company employed 24 people and hundreds of casual workers for their events.

The business got through the first lockdown – picking up work where it could, including the roll-out of Hamilton’s wheelie bins - but the second wave hit hard.

In the space of six months 30 major events his business was geared up to work with were cancelled or postponed, including Fieldays.

“It’s a shame we had no-one representing us in Government. There is no Minister of Events.”

Lamb had just signed a deal to move from Kahikatea Drive, Hamilton to Sharpe Road, near Airport Rd in Rukuhia, at the northern end of Hamilton Airport.

Staff who would usually be at events around the country were utilised in the fitout of the building and the move went ahead last August.

“Our business took a step back about 10 years,” he says. “We were dead in the water.”

X-Site Group provides event hire, event management and exhibition management all over the country for expos, shows, weddings and 21st birthdays.

Outdoor events like Fieldays accounts for about 38 per cent of X-Site’s business.

Lamb, who had been easing his way out of the day-to-day X-Site Group work, is now back working 70–80-hour weeks to build the business up again.

The Fieldays work is not where it

was prior to Covid-19. Two Melbourne companies have had to cancel because of the Victorian lockdown.

But for Lamb it is back to some semblance of normal.

For future work, being at the Waipā base will be critical. X-Site will be only two minutes from Waikato Expressway and able to hit the road quickly for conferences and events.

Lamb says Waipā, Hamilton and the greater Waikato region have well-established conference facilities which bounced back post lockdown.

And that means businesses like his which survived Covid-19 albeit rather shakily, will be well-placed to benefit.

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

Predator Free Cambridge (PFC) wants to initiate a project to engage with larger northern Maungatautari landowners.

The project aims to better connect Maungatautari’s unique bird life with the pest control efforts already happening in Cambridge by urban trappers.

The Bush to Burbs project is essentially about encouraging more native birds to visit, feed and breed in the wider Cambridge area by ensuring there is effective pest control.

The concept revolves around the bird ‘spill over’ effects from the Maunga occurring now and creating ‘safe corridors’ for further expansion into Cambridge. Birds such as tui, kaka and bellbird visit bush remnants scattered across the private farmland between the Maunga and Leamington.

Protecting them from marauding predators - possums, rats and mustelids - in these prime habitat areas is critical.

The approach is similar to

that of the much larger Predator Free Wellington project around the predator fenced wildlife sanctuary, Zealandia. Theirs is a hugely successful project with fantastic buy-in from residents and good results.

The proposed area of the Bush to Burbs project would extend eastwards to Finlay Park and Lake Karapiro, to the outskirts of the Leamington built up areas, and around to Norwegian and Kairangi Roads.

This area was under intensive control for bovine TB purposes up until 2011 but little has been done since. Possum population trend monitoring was completed in May this year. Results show a 7.8% residual trap catch which indicates moderate numbers are building again. The reinvasion has been slowed somewhat because the Maunga is no longer acting as a ‘reservoir’ of possums feeding and coming out onto pasture. There were pockets of high possum numbers, and a concerted effort is required across a wide area to effectively control them.

Protecting our native wildlife is critical to rebuilding urban populations.

The PFC team are excited by the possibilities of this project and the connections to be made with other pest control work, including the regional council’s highly successful Halo project and of course having a massive predator free forested area (the Maunga), as the southern boundary.

There is a long way to go on the planning and engagement front first. Ultimately, the landowners within this area need to see the benefits of removing pests and be willing to undertake pest control on their properties. If

there is sufficient interest from landowners, PFC can coordinate a collective funding application for traps, provide pest control training and overall support.

Many landowners are already undertaking pest control in the area, so it may just mean ‘filling in the gaps’ or providing additional traps to those already trapping.

A coordinated approach of the whole area will prove a more efficient strategy to remove these pests.

The hype of the Predator Free 2050 vision only continues to grow with more and more communities wanting to get involved. More money is going into new technology and research to bolster the ‘pest control tool kit’.

The recently released Fight for the Wild TV series has summed up the problems our native species contend with and what needs to be done to prevent their extinction.

On the beat with Senior Constable DEB THURGOOD

Talking about digital damage I hope you have had a great week. Today I am back discussing matters of an online nature.

Recent complaints have prompted me to discuss the topic of Digital Harm. So often these days, we use social media not only as a way to stay in touch with family and friends, but also to give and receive information within the forum of community, buy and sale and other online groups. Facebook is a good example of this; however, photos are also shared on Instagram. Sometimes the posts on these pages are advising of an incident that has occurred and seeking to illicit the other members’ assistance in tracking down the identity of the person/s involved.

The best and most appropriate way for this to be done is for Police to first be called, a reference number to be given in the post, and people responding to the query being directed to contact their local Police rather than comment on the post itself. The benefit of this approach is that the information provided may be qualified by local Police, in conjunction with other factors known about the case, or other information received.

The alternative, where the matter either isn’t reported to Police in the first instance or no reference detail and direction is given,

Tim van de Molen Your MP for Waikato

Tim.vandeMolenMP@parliament.govt.nz 0800 GET TIM (0800 438 846) TimvandeMolenWaikato

can lead to a great deal of misinformation and possibly digital harm. In the case of an offender’s identity being solicited, publicly posting the photo and details of someone you think is involved, with the inherent possibility you may be mistaken, is a bad course of action. The posting of that information could make that person and their family a target of online bully and associated emotional distress.

Another example that causes great distress is the posting/sharing of intimate photos or recordings of a person without their permission or knowledge. This can cause great embarrassment and emotional trauma to a victim.

Where these practices occur, they are covered under the Harmful Digital Communications Act 2015. Under this Act, it is an offence to post a digital communication with the intent to cause someone harm, to post something which could cause harm to a reasonable person in the victim’s position or causes actual harm to that person. By Digital Communication, the Act means any form of electronic communication including any text message, writing, photograph, picture, recording, or other matter that is communicated electronically.

If you are a victim of this type of situation, report the matter to Police. In assessing the harm caused, consideration will be given to the extremity of the language used, the age and characteristics of the victim, whether the digital communication was anonymous, whether the digital communication was repeated, the extent of circulation of the digital communication, whether the digital communication is true or false and the context in which the digital communication appeared. The maximum penalty upon a conviction for this offence is two years imprisonment or a $50000 fine.

I’ve said it before and I’ll keep saying it, social media is not your first point of call when reporting a crime that has happened, and it is certainly not the place for unqualified group discussion about who an offender is or may be.

Be vigilant about your own digital presence and the access others have to it. Be aware of media in which you feature, what you share online, what others may choose to share about you and the harm it can cause.

Until next week, stay safe, Deb.

Briefs…

The beer’s off

Waikato’s biggest craft beer festival, which drew big crowds to Claudelands in Hamilton earlier this year won’t be back. Organisers of the Great Kiwi Beer Festival say police and the Waikato District Health Board “have once again objected to our license” and sought conditions which would have a negative impact on the event.

Helping hands

A Whanganui based charitable trust with a site at Fieldays is one of the largest employers of people with disabilities in the country. Wanganui Enterprises, which employs up to 40 people, manufactures and sells a range of products and is mainly known for its macrocarpa dog kennels.

Revenue from sales goes back into more employment and training opportunities.

Recycling day

Waipā residents will have an opportunity to drop off redundant e-waste on Sunday.

A Rotary E-Waste Collection Day will be held at Cambridge High School, Swayne Rd, from 9 to 11am. Items up to the size of a microwave oven can be dropped off for a modest fee. E-Waste is any equipment or product that operates on electricity or batteries. The Rotary recycling project diverts toxic substances from landfills.

Market day

Tamahere’s monthly Country Market will be held on Saturday. The market at St Stephen’s Church is held on the third Saturday of the month.

Transport plan

Eleven Waikato councils were represented this week at a meeting to consider a 10year Regional Land Transport Plan – but Hamilton City Councillors have criticised it as a “total climate failure and nothing more than a coffee table book.

Fluoride: here next year?

By Mary Anne Gill

Adding fluoride to Waipā’s four water supply schemes and six water treatment plants will cost ratepayers $1.2 million upfront and about $60,000 a year.

The spend has not been budgeted by the council but could come as early as next year following the passing of the Health (Fluoridation of Drinking Water) Amendment Bill in Parliament last week.

The News understands Waipā’s water has never been fluoridated.

The amendment to the Bill changed the authority to fluoridate public water supplies from district health boards to the Director-General of Health.

Submissions on that change close at 11.59pm tomorrow (Friday).

Given the Bill has cross party support, it is expected to pass into law later this year.

However National health spokesperson Dr Shane Reti has said while the party supports the Bill, they would want the Director-General to consult with local communities before ordering community water fluoridation.

Waipā mayor Jim Mylchreest was expected to informally gauge councillors’ opinion before tomorrow on whether the council should make a submission on the Bill.

The council had in the past supported Local Government New Zealand which said the Ministry of Health was the most qualified

Cambridge’s water treatment plant is on Lake Karapiro

organisation to decide whether and which public water supplies should have fluoride added to them.

Waikato District Health Board has not responded to an Official Information Act request from the News for decay rates in Waipā children or whether having fluoride in the water would make a difference.

The latest published figures on the DHB’s website were from 2015 which showed 8 in 1000 Waipā children aged from 0-14 years had

been hospitalised for dental-related admissions and that tooth decay rates were twice as high in Māori children than in non- Māori.

The largest investment nationally in prevention of caries (tooth decay) in children’s teeth came in 2007 when dental clinics based in schools were replaced by mobile dental vans.

From 2007-2019 in the Waikato DHB region, which includes Waipā, the percentage of caries-free children increased from 44 to 55 per cent.

During the same period in the region, the average number of decayed, missing and filled teeth per child at school year eight (12-13 years old) decreased from 1.85 to 0.56.

The figures suggest the move to a mobile service have been a success in reducing tooth decay.

While district health boards report oral health data annually to the Ministry of Health, the ministry does not hold specific oral health data for the Waipā district.

Associate Health Minister Dr Ayesha Verrall said fluoridating drinking water was widely recognised as the single-most important initiative to improve children’s oral health.

Waipā has four water supply schemes, Te Awamutu (including Pirongia), Cambridge, Pukerimu (including Ōhaupō) and Kihikihi, and a total of six water treatment plants.

Some funding would be available to support local authorities with the capital costs associating with introducing community water fluoridation, Dr Verrall told The News.

• Mary Anne Gill was formerly Waikato District Health Board (DHB) communications director and managed the DHB’s campaigns to have fluoride added to public water supplies in Hamilton and Thames.

• As an elected Waikato DHB board member, she favoured water fluoridation as a proven public health measure to improve children’s oral health.

Third bridge: get cracking, says lobby group

By Roy Pilott

A Cambridge lobby group says it has come up with the ideal site for the town’s third bridge across the Waikato River – and it will be a major money saver.

The group analysed three sites before settling on a bridge which would cross the river at a point near Matos Segedin Drive and link to Cambridge central with a new road connecting with Alpha Street.

Heavy traffic heading in and out of Cambridge would follow a new route between the bridge and the Velodrome.

The bridge issue will be a debating point at next year’s local body elections and two Cambridge councillors have already called for the project to be fast tracked.

In 2018 the Waipā District Council put the third bridge in the 2029-2048 time frame in its long-term plan. The argument as recently as last year has been that the Fergusson Bridge is not used to capacity.

The 2021 LTP shows more urgency, committing council to completing a “Transportation Strategy” this month.

The council says: “if this indicates the need to move

at pace and identify a third crossing, Council will use funding from operating reserves to designate and acquire land for a third bridge”.

Third bridge proponents say that such is the rapid growth of Cambridge and the pressure on its roading infrastructure, there is no question those steps should be taken now.

They say the new bridge will make significant time and money savings and reduce carbon emissions.

They say that is all the more relevant because there will be tonnes of saving in carbon emissions as a result

of shortening the runs for trucks carting sand for news roads and buildings.

“This bridge connection on the north side will allow town commuting traffic from Leamington and the Cambridge – Te Awamutu road to enter the town by Alpha Street at the top of the Main Street by major car parking,” the lobby group’s presentation says.

“This will allow the Victoria bridge to be taken out of service for major repairs with little affect to Cambridge residents. As C3 is filled with houses, the traffic bypassing Cambridge can be redirected direct

to the roundabout at the Avantidrome on the collector road that is planned.

Lobby group member John Bary said the plans are the consequences of discussions between a collective of people who originally met in December 2020 to discuss the need for the third bridge.

“We all believe there is an urgency, due to the sorry state of the high bridge. If a third crossing was able to be achieved as soon as possible, repairs and maintenance could be carried out on the ‘High’ bridge without traffic difficulties for the whole community of Cambridge.”

Chamber heads App shows the way Take the bus applaud Fieldays

The return of Fieldays after Covid prevented the 2020 physical version is a sure sign of a return to normality, the Waikato Chamber of Commerce says.

Blue, though not always clear skies greeted the crowds on the first morning of the expo this week –after fo g which prevented the morning flight into Hamilton landing had lifted.

There were long queues of cars along Airport Rd, but traffic control appeared to be running smoothly.

“We believe it is important to give recognition to our farmers, many of whom did not take a break over the lockdown period, instead working throughout and ensuring our nation’s vital food production and exports remained unimpeded,” Waikato Chamber of Commerce chief executive Don Good said.

The Chamber noted that in 2018 Fieldays generated $492m of sales revenue and created more than 2000 jobs nationwide. For Waikato that equated to $168m and 860 jobs.

The National Fieldays Society did a fantastic job of hosting the event virtually yet the lack of economic benefits to the Waikato region that Fieldays brings every year was sorely missed, Don Good said.

“This resilience is reflected in the agricultural sector’s strong performance coming out of the pandemic with agricultural export revenue actually increasing on the previous years. We have to a lot to thank our farmers for and the 2021 Fieldays is a great opportunity to celebrate everything they do for our country.”

Fieldays also provides an opportunity to bring attention to the strong bonds between the Golden Triangle of Auckland, Tauranga and the Waikato, he said.

Tauranga Chamber of Commerce chief executive Matt Cowley said regional economies within the golden triangle relied on each other to produce, package and freight products to overseas consumers.

Auckland Chamber of Commerce chief executive Michael Barnett, who will be at Fieldays said he had his gumboots ready to go.

“Given the support the farming sector has given New Zealand over Covid we can celebrate this sector and meet our clients from out of Auckland at the Fieldays.”

The 2021 Fieldays app will make it easier for visitors to make the most of their experience.

Visitors can plan ahead on the app and create their own schedule of the exhibitors, food vendors, and competitions they want to visit at Fieldays 2021. Once they arrive, visitors can pin their car once they’ve parked, to save hunting for it at the end `pf the day. Those who purchase tickets online can log in, purchase, and save their tickets in the app, ready to scan at the gate.

The app can find exhibitors of interest, things to do, and essential services on the map and show the best route to a destination, with distance

between location points and walking time duration built in.

Head of Customer and Strategic Engagement at the New Zealand National Fieldays Society, Taryn Storey, says the Fieldays site will look a bit different to what people are used to, so the app will be a good way finder.

“We’ve redesigned the site and done a few things differently to enhance the visitor experience, so the app will make it much more convenient for visitors to get around and make the most of their visit.”

The 2019 version of the Fieldays app was downloaded 42,394 times and saw over 1.3 million app interactions.

Anyone wanting to jump Fieldays car park queues this year can catch a bus for free with a valid 2021 Fieldays ticket.

In Cambridge, you can park your car at Cambridge BMX Club on the corner of Milton St and Lamb St and present your ticket to take a free bus to Mystery Creek.

Services will depart about every 30 minutes between 8am-11am and return between 1pm and 5pm.

Free buses direct to Fieldays will also run from the Te Awamutu i-SITE at 8.30am and 9.30am and return from Fieldays at 4pm and 5pm.

Information on Fieldays buses and regional bus timetables is available at www.busit.co.nz/travelling-with-us/ fieldays-2021/, or by calling 0800 205 305.

Arriving by boat is another way to avoid clogged car parks.

Cambridge jet boat operator Camjet will have paid services departing from Narrows Lane in Tamahere, where you can park your car free.

Boats will leave every 30 minutes, or every 15 minutes during busy times, between 7.15am and 4.45pm.

For those travelling by car, free parking at Fieldays is open 5.30am-10pm.

Arriving early is recommended to avoid queues.

Mobility parking is available through Gate 0 or Gate 4 for CCS Mobility Parking Permit holders and a limited number of mobility scooters is available for hire from Gate 1. Booking in advance is recommended through Life Unlimited on (07) 834 9982 or by visiting www. mobilitycentre.co.nz.

During the show, traffic updates will be posted on the Fieldays Facebook page.

THE AGE OF REASON

FAITH IN WAIPĀ

Fieldays, back in the flesh

The rising tide…

So, we welcome back this week the return of Fieldays, an annual agri-fest where the original dream of bringing town and country together is still the key tenet.

The 1966 foresight of a young Hinuera farmer – studying in the UK as part of his Kellogg scholarship – planted the seed which was, covered, watered and nurtured by a fine group of earnest professional people to create the wonderful event that we have today.

As I write this the tent ‘city’ is set to go.

Materials, trucks, tractors and retail goods will be rolling onto the busy site. And it is raining - which in the current very dry conditions should not in any way deter the determinations of Board, staff and volunteers to make this the best agricultural show on earth. The weather prayer mats will be out and, come hail or shine (and not forgetting freezing river-fog), the show will open on time.

Change has come to Fieldays driven, in part, by the advent of Covid. That the plug had to be pulled less than three months prior to the 2020 event is now history. That the Fieldays organisation had to wear a huge financial loss is also no secret. But out of adversity comes hope, fresh enthusiasm, innovation and concentrated dedication by a much smaller team working on even tighter budgets.

The advent last year – in place of the (cancelled) physical event was the newly minted, highly innovative, Virtual Fieldays.

A being of a mixture of computer technology, electronic media and sheer hard grit this event is embedded now in the Fieldays culture. It is where farmers from Gore can tune in and ‘see’ machinery, hear ideas, participate in presentations over several days is an amazing new opportunity.

Last year 250 exhibitors supported Fieldays

Something is stirring in whenua o Aotearoa.

Up and down the nation significant change is occurring which I think carries hope for the future… hope nurtured by the embracing of a wonderful indigenous culture.

Regrettably, the richness of te ao Māori which encompasses Māori world view, language, culture and acknowledges the ‘connectedness’ and ‘interrelationship’ of all living and non-living things, was suppressed for many years. But change is in the air.

A word borrowed from the French language seems to somehow fit what is happening. It’s the word ‘renaissance’ referring to a time in European history marked by a revival of classical learning and wisdom in the 14th -16th centuries.

Well before the European renaissance, around 1350, Māori tupuna (ancestors) skilfully navigated vast oceans by the stars, arriving in New Zealand in several waves of waka voyages. Centuries later in 1769, Captain Cook relied on a man named Tupaia, utilising his people’s ancient knowledge of the stars to guide the Endeavour.

The word ‘renaissance’ means ‘rebirth’ in its literal sense. It suggests a revival or awakened interest in something — precisely what is happening right now. ’Whakahoutanga’ or renewal is taking place.

Shameful dark days in our history where te ao Maori was stifled and shut down are being recognised. We’ve begun inching forward from the backward days of the 1980’s when a Post Office toll operator was almost fired for daring to answer the phone using a Maori greeting. Rangimārie Naida Glavish upset her supervisor with a “nonstandard expression”, and was threatened with dismissal. Losing her job would have meant eviction as well since she rented a Post

in this new electronic venture which has resulted in an ability to repeat the exercise at any time. A custom-built TV studio created last year will again be in use and modern words like ‘webinar’ will be common.

This new being may perfectly suit some exhibitors for whom physically attending at Mystery Creek, involving themselves in erecting marquees and losing staff from their normal work sites is a financial and physical drag. But they are imbued with the capability of ‘being there’ and still not losing touch with their customer base.

The presence this year of an overlay of the electronic version has not deterred most exhibitor customers from returning to the site and involving themselves donkey-deep in the culture and excitement of the Town and Country theme. The temporary city looks as large, and will be as busy, as ever. Do make sure Cambridge people, that you maximize use of the half hourly free buses starting their journey in Milton Street at the southern edge of the town. It’s much better than crawling in the car and parking - possibly quite some distance from the excitement. The buses will take you right to the entrance. And bring you home too.

Further innovation – due to a paucity of accommodation in nearby Hamilton - with many motels filled either with homeless or MIQ-related people, has seen Fieldays bring in around 120 campervans to help exhibitors find a comfortable bed at the end of the four long event days. On Sunday motorists on State Highway 1 would have been amazed at a series of long white convoys traversing from south Auckland to Claudelands. The same volunteers will return them next weekend.

Office house. She stood her ground and three years later Te Reo Māori was affirmed as national language.

Scrolling on 30 years after Rangimārie won the right to say “kia ora” at work, she was honoured as a Dame Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit.

The surge of an incoming tide is sweeping away old attitudes as Māori voices rise, challenging an overbearing dominant culture.

Be it in law, academia, business, health, arts, faith, politics or education, Māori influence needs to happen and there’s more to come.

For anyone viewing this with nervous apprehension, consider the ‘faith’ stance of the early Christian missionaries. They were instrumental in gathering support throughout Aotearoa for Māori rangatira to sign our founding document, the Treaty of Waitangi. Their desire was evident to protect Māori from the negative aspects of British colonialism which exhibited zero understanding or interest in honouring the Maori viewpoint.

In my experience our indigenous people have shown notable grace and dignity in the light of the treatment they have received.

Although 181 years after its signing, many New Zealanders remain foggy over what brought the Treaty about and what its objectives were, we can still commit to learning with humility. Understanding a truthful rendition of our history which owns the massive breaches of covenant and how this has caused Māori to suffer injustice and displacement is vital…

Embracing and adhering to te Tiriti o Waitangi as an active document, follows.

YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY WILL LOVE YOU FOR IT. Whether you’re the greatest host or the greatest mum... We provide you with a beautiful new kitchen to make life that little bit easier. Experience style and comfort and nd peace of mind.

Residents say:

Build the road – and toll us

By Blair Voorend

Residents around Karāpiro Piarere would support a toll road if that’s what it takes to get the Waikato expressway extended to the northern boundary of South Waikato.

A straw poll at a community meeting on Monday called to discuss the road illustrated many in the community would support a toll option.

After the idea was brought up by a number of members from the audience National’s spokesperson for transport Michael Woodhouse asked for a straw poll on who would be happy to have a toll system set up if it funded the much-wanted expressway extension.

This saw a majority of the 60 plus in the audience in favour of the idea.

The 16km southern extension to the expressway from Karāpiro to Piarere was shelved by the Government in 2017 and the decision has been constantly criticised by National.

The community meeting was hosted by Waikato MP Tim van de Molen and Michael Woodhouse, at the Karāpiro Taotaoroa Settlers Hall.

Monday’s meeting attracted 60 residents.

It was seen as ways to get ideas from the community on how to get immediate road safety elements added to the road.

The Waikato MP said that things such as electronic speed signs and highrisk crash signs at most intersections along the road were the best option. Such signs are already in place at the Piarere intersection of highways 1 and 29.

But he noted while temporary fixes would make the road safer, the expressway would divert more interregional traffic, particularly heavy vehicles, off the existing road.

According to Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency stats 22,000 vehicles use the section

of SH1 from the end of the Cambridge Expressway to the Piarere intersection each day.

The number has doubled in six years and freight transport will continue to grow as the Ruakura Superhub feeds the port of Tauranga and vice versea.

“I was at that Piarere intersection a couple of months ago and despite the safety improvements, over the half an hour we were there we saw three near misses and a constant barrage of toots from drivers,” Mr Woodhouse said.

“The problem is that there needs to be a road that can withstand the amount of traffic that there is and the expected increase that is set to come.”

For Keith Roderick the

only way to make the area safer would be to extend the expressway. He said he had lived in Karāpiro Village for 10 years and crashes along that stretch of SH1 were a regular occurrence.

“Every weekend it is the same sequence where you hear the sirens from the police and ambulance and then shortly after you hear the rescue helicopter going overhead,” he said.

“The number of accidents and deaths on that stretch is unnecessary and something needs to change.”

He said his wife was reluctant to attend Monday’s meeting because bad weather – it was raining heavily on the night – made turning south out of Karāpiro Village onto SH1 even more dangerous.

“That’s why we turned up late to the meeting - we came the longer way because making that turn is sometimes just too much of a risk…”

He said that it’s time for politicians to get moving on a system that would work and that they could deliver.

“We moved up here in the 80s and even back then we heard plans for the Cambridge bypass, and it was only finished five years ago, things need to move quicker.”

Roundabout site circled in

Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency has selected a site north-west of the existing Piarere intersection for a $40 million roundabout project which would eventually become the southern start of the Waikato Expressway.

The plan is to have consents sorted later this year and for work to start on a two-year project in 2022.

Waka Kotahi Regional Manager Infrastructure Delivery Jo Wilton says the roundabout would improve safety.

“This intersection is among the most dangerous on the New Zealand roading network. The new roundabout will ensure that all traffic has a safe and efficient way of making any type of movement, be it straight ahead or turning. Vehicle speeds in roundabouts is significantly lower, which minimises the impact of any crash that might still occur.”

The project will be funded by the NZ Upgrade Programme.

Waka Kotahi is holding discussions with affected landowners.

Replacing the current intersection with the roundabout was nt considered practical because of high traffic volumes.

The Government recently confirmed the direction and funding commitment for these safety improvements at Piarere, through the NZ Upgrade Programme.

When the NZ Upgrade Programme was initiated, a number of the projects, including the SH1/29 roundabout, were in their early stages of development, with detailed project information still being established. Since then, Waka Kotahi has worked to get a better understanding of project risks, scope, costs and timeframes. For the SH1/29 roundabout, this work resulted in an updated cost estimate of $40m to deliver the project. The same scope and transport benefits will be delivered.

The detailed business case for the longer-term Cambridge to Piarere corridor (Waikato Expressway extension) was recently presented to the Waka Kotahi Board and their decision will be available soon, at which time the DBC will be published on the Waka Kotahi website.

Hothouse thieves Car package works for me raid begonia house NO PLANET B

By Peter Matthews

By Mary Anne Gill

Thieves have robbed Cambridge people from enjoying the hot house plants and begonias on display at The Begonia House in Lake Te Koo Utu Domain.

Waipā District Council

says a “spate” of thefts has forced the temporary closure of the hot house at the weekends and in the evenings.

The Begonia House and fountain were built in 1986 to mark Cambridge Borough Council’s

centenary. A foundation stone on the house’s exterior acknowledges its unveiling

by Cambridge mayor Pat Allan on August 13, 1986.

The hot house will open weekdays between 8am and 3.30pm until council can find a solution to the thefts.

I have, on a couple of occasions, had cause to write to Jamie Shaw who is now the minister for climate change.

I didn’t receive a reply on either occasion not from anyone.

He must exist though, because I recently heard him quoted in the news as saying that the last time there were concentrations of CO2 in the atmosphere at the level we have now, there were palm trees in the Antarctic.

Oh. Well thanks for that Jamie, now that you have thrown the situation into such stark relief, I guess we had all better do something about it.

Seriously, are there any quotable pithicisms left with which to attempt to frighten the public into action?

He went on to say that a major part of our contribution to greenhouse gases comes from us driving between the cities in this country.

As I heard this I was, myself, driving. I have to tell you it was almost enough to make me pull over and walk.

There followed one or two other news items; I don’t really remember, I was too busy wondering at the actual point of Shaw’s revelations about the history of palm trees.

Then the big news item arrived: Our government has just released its Clean Car Package, under the terms of which, people who buy electric vehicles after July 1 this year will get some of their money back.

That’s more like it!

People who purchase a new EV under $80,000 will receive a rebate of up to $8,625 and those who buy second hand will get up to $3,450.

That seems like a good idea, especially

when you consider that the rebates will be funded by extra fees, charged from January 2022, on imports of higher-emitting vehicles.

There has, of course, been some lively debate since this announcement. Those who are planning to buy a new ute after January are not too pleased. Jacinda’s reply to this was ‘buy a second hand one and don’t pay the extra’.

Someone else said ‘Why shouldn’t wealthy people benefit from the rebate when they also value their money?’ Well, I’m sure they do, but let’s be honest if you’re in the market for a car priced over $80,000 do you really need a handout to help you?

Ardern points out that if someone values the rebate [enough for it to influence them] - get a car in the 60k - 70k range - there are plenty of good ones.

The other condition of the rebate is that the car must have a safety rating of three stars or more. Makes sense.

So, I guess, since I didn’t hear the whole story, it might be fair to assume that Mr Shaw’s comments were related to the main story, which is fair enough.

Personally, I ONLY think the scheme is a good PLANET one, and I have no problem with taking the money from people who choose to emit more and giving it to those who choose to emit less.

Meet Michael – the jobseeker

By Steph Bell-Jenkins

Michael Dodds would love to work in hospitality and is hoping a Waipā employer has a part-time job to make his dream come true.

The 20-year-old enjoys working with people and is passionate about food and cooking.

“I’d love to work in a cafe,” said Michael. “That’s my dream job.”

His other top choice would be flipping burgers and helping customers at McDonald’s Cambridge. He has a special connection to the Queen St restaurant, having cut the ribbon when it opened here in 2014.

To achieve his dream Michael, who has Down syndrome, has been working with disability employment facilitator Selwyn Cook, who was Kiwibank New Zealand Local Hero of the Year in 2016 for his efforts to help disabled people into mainstream jobs.

Selwyn believes Michael has all the right ingredients for a successful career in hospitality.

“Michael is fabulous,” he said.

“He has a delightful, easy-going manner, a great sense of humour and impeccable manners. He loves to have fun and be funny, which he does, in his own words, through ‘the happy, friendly and fabulous me!’ So, we’re hoping a local employer will have a position that would fit his skill set and his natural ability to delight people.”

Getting a taste of those abilities last Friday was Claire Ross, who

Michael Dodds serves up a hot chocolate at Claire Ross’s Coffee Cart beside the town square on Friday morning.

gave Michael a morning of work experience in her Coffee Cart.

“Michael’s been so cool,” she said. “He’s a quick learner for sure and he has an amazing personality.

He’s bubbly and chirpy; I love that.

And the customers seem to love

him.”

The morning was organised by Maioro Barton, a tūhono connector with Enabling Good Lives.

“I think Michael’s a real people person,” Maioro said. “He’s a really good communicator, he’s

very empathetic, he’s a good listener, he follows instructions and he’s willing to learn. I hope employers will look at his potential rather than looking at him as someone with a disability.”

Michael has lived in Cambridge

all his life and attended Cambridge Primary School, Cambridge Middle School and Cambridge High School.

He has been volunteering at Waipā disability enterprise Achievement House for two years, but now feels ready for paid work.

“There’s a line I say: more work, more money,” he said. “I’m saving up my money because on my next birthday I’d love to go to Las Vegas.”

His mother Victoria said her son, like many 20-year-olds, wanted to get a job, travel, go flatting and find a girlfriend.

“I think it’s just being part of the community really and just doing what everyone else does – he’s craving that normality,” she said.

“I think once employers meet him and have a conversation with him it’ll open their eyes to his potential.”

Michael is passionate about music and in his spare time he loves creating Spotify playlists, writing and performing his own songs and MCing Star Jam events. He also enjoys watching wrestling on television, cooking and competing in Special Olympics football.

If you can offer Michael work or would like to meet him, please call Selwyn on 027 480 4569 or email Selwyn@covina.co.nz.

“I can offer ongoing support to any business to ensure Michael’s employment is an outstanding success,” Selwyn said.

Health checks come to town

Letters…

A close shave

I wonder whether the driver of the E-plate silver car with the mountain bike in the back intentionally overtook me with a “punishment pass” on Flume Road, Te Miro, just before midday on June 12 just to scare me or get a laugh.

Was the driver distracted by something like a phone or just not paying attention? It was a beautiful sunny day and I had both my lights on and a high visibility vest and was cycling on the edge of the road. I love cycling but after this I don’t know if I can go out there and share the road space again as a mother (of three school children), wife, sister, aunty and daughter.

Being passed at what felt like 1.5 cm at 100 km on a quiet rural road instead of the recommended 1.5 metres was absolutely terrifying. Maybe the driver has done this before.

Sharing the road is all about trust and as a cyclist you don’t have the protection of a vehicle around you. Next time you overtake a cyclist, please remember that it’s not just a cyclist you are overtaking - it could be a parent, a sibling or someone’s child you are endangering. Please give them the respect and space they deserve.

Victoria Donoghue Cambridge

Safe cycling

I agree with Brian Dunstan that footpaths are for foot traffic. Pedestrian crossings should not be taken “mounted”, yet according to Waipā District Council Bylaws, cyclists are permitted to ride across pedestrian crossings but not on footpaths. This Bylaw requires replacing as motorists need time and a signal of your intentions as vehicles approach crossings.

Motor cyclists are required to ride with their lights on so why not cyclists? There was talk of making the wearing of high visibility clothing compulsory for all cyclists, but nothing has come of that. The compulsory use of flashing rear lights and headlights, makes a lot of sense.

The no riding of cycles on footpaths law needs to be enforced by local police and schools. This needs to be through education rather than by punitive measures. School managers and police should be highly visible around the Rumors roundabout at 3.30pm until cyclists change their riding behaviour.

A free health and wellbeing event for the over 60s will be held in Cambridge on June 26.

The event is being organised by Cambridge Community House (CCH) and is aimed at enhancing access to a range of health and wellbeing providers.

Those attending will be given a WoF card on arrival on which they can check off their visits to each of the health and wellbeing providers on the day.

CCH manager Harriet Dixon said GPs and other

health providers will be on hand to do private health checks in side rooms. She said previous events were successful in catching the early signs of poor health, and were seen as helpful in breaking down the barriers some in the community experienced in seeking care.

“Many people in our community can’t afford the trip to see a GP or feel they don’t want to bother them when they are unsure if there is anything wrong. The early detection of illness, cancer and other poor health

conditions makes a huge difference in survival and recovery rates.”

Harriet said there would also be a focus on mental wellbeing.

“Right now, Cambridge Community House is seeing double the number of referrals we were seeing pre-Covid,” she said. “The prevention and focus on positive mental wellbeing is vital for our community, as is knowing where to get support.”

The event is at Cambridge’s Trinity St Paul’s

The Matariki star cluster rises in the northeast at dawn.

Matariki is not visible at the start of the New Year from areas such as Taranaki, Whanganui, parts of Auckland and the West Coast of the South Island.

Now in its 12th year, the Waikato celebration features more than 60 events.

Festival director Bea Mossop said highlights will include the Matariki ki Te Whare Taonga o Waikato cultural event at Waikato Museum on Saturday.

In Waitomo a series of events are planned in and around the caves. Visitors can enjoy a Matariki Twilight tour through the caves on July 3 or attend workshops on Māori medicine and nature. Māori artworks will be exhibited at the Waitomo Glow-worm Caves Visitor Centre and a concert, dining and cave

tour evening will be held on July 10, complete with boil-up, fried bread and kawakawa tea.

“We have live shows, art exhibitions and community events taking place across the entire region, from Waitomo, Matamata.

Raglan and Morrinsville to Ngāruawāhia, Te Aroha and Te Awamutu,” Bea Mossop said.

Hamilton & Waikato Tourism chief executive Jason Dawson is impressed with the line up.

month,” he says.

Meanwhile, a challenge to Waikato chefs to create a dish inspired by Matariki while celebrating local ingredients has returned for a sixth year after being a Covid victim in 2020.

Eleven Waikato eateries have entered this year’s Matariki Dish Challenge including Karthik Gollu from Alpha Street in Cambridge.

“The iClaw Matariki Dish Challenge provides us with an excellent platform to showcase what the region and New Zealand has to offer,” Karthick says.

Each entrant will “mystery judged” before a second round of judging to determine the 2021 champion and winner of the Marty Wong trophy.

“The judges are looking for a link to Matariki, a celebration of local ingredients as well as great cohesive and knowledgeable service,” Waikato Food Inc Projects and Events Manager Julia Clarke said.

Another Cambridge eatery in this year’s line-up is Alpino who have merged their Italian heritage with the New Zealand’s in their dish Te Putake o Matariki.

Waikato plan balance ‘right’

Waikato mayor Alan Sanson believes his council has struck the right balance in setting rates as part of its 10-year long term plan.

Rates, the sale of pensioner housing and the future of the annual inorganic kerbside rubbish collection were among the most discussed aspects of the plan, which is scheduled to be adopted at the end of the month.

The plan drew more than 600 submissions and there were three days of hearing.

The initial proposal was to introduce a 9% general rate increase, and it has been shaved slightly.

“Many submissions opposed the proposed rate increases. We know that any rate increases are hard to bear, especially for those on fixed or low incomes,” the mayor said.

“I am confident we have reached the right balance between investing in our future growth and looking after our current needs. We are looking to reduce our proposed general rate increase from the proposed 9% in year 1. We are looking at 6-7% for the general rate increase in year 1 and a 9% increase to the Uniform Annual General Charge (UAGC).”

Council has agreed to sell its small pensioner housing portfolio to a service provider. A majority of respondents, including tenants, supported the decision.

Councillors voted 8-5 to halt the annual inorganic kerbside rubbish collection in 2022. Waikato District is currently the only council in New Zealand to continue to offer a full annual kerbside collection. That

decision went against the majority of opinions expressed through submissions.

Halting the service aligns to Council’s Waste Minimisation Plan, which aims to reduce waste to landfill by 10% in the next three years. Councillors heard the service had significant safety issues and was becoming increasingly challenging and expensive to administer.

Big step forward for Interlock trust

By Viv Posselt

Interlock Waipā, the Cambridgebased initiative launched last year for those living with disabilities, has formalised its status.

The InterlockNZ Trust was incorporated in late May, spearheaded by the man who founded Interlock last July, wellknown disability worker for 35 years, Aaron Ure. Joining him as trustees are Aaron’s wife Lois Ure, a semi-retired support worker, Cambridge Community House manager Harriet Dixon, media and events manager Colin Pierce, and business owner Christine Missen.

The formation of the Trust marks a significant step forward for the group. It met fortnightly at the start, gathering at the Cambridge Red Cross Hall to offer craftoriented activities and social connection for teens and adults living with a disability across Waipā. Aaron said at the time that the idea was simply to bring people together – hence the name ‘interlock’.

“It has become so popular that we fast grew out of the Red Cross Hall and are rapidly outgrowing where we are now [the Alpha Lodge Hall in Bryce St]. We also meet weekly now instead of fortnightly,” he said. “Our numbers

have tripled… we really need a permanent home, somewhere where we can have our sessions and not have to pack everything away each time.”

The group does a lot of craft work, which means there are piles of materials moved around as the groups grows. Students from Cambridge High School are part of regular meetings, and the group has run movie nights. Future plans include offering further support by helping members run microbusinesses via which they can make and sell their goods during the weekly sessions, and perhaps offer teas and café-type meals to seniors.

Those ideas shape what they are looking for, Lois added, meaning they need to look for somewhere that offers the space they need, kitchen and toilet facilities, and storage capacity. They are also looking for more volunteers, and Aaron said the wider community is welcome to join in.

Trustee Harriet Dixon said Interlock’s focus on providing enriched experiences for those with disabilities was invaluable and said she would like to see the group receive funding to continue their work.

“They are working with Cambridge Community House

to grow the focus of the group in the desired direction … we have several projects that we are going to get their members involved in.”

The popularity of Interlock was in evidence last Friday when nine Steampunk afficionados from around the district helped Interlock

members add a ‘steampunk’ signature to top hats. Their visit was organised by Cambridge’s Jane Brooker, assisted by a crew that included her granddaughter Natalie Young.

Steampunk started in the United States and has an international

following. It embraces fashion linked to science fiction, the Industrial Revolution and Victoriana. Long-standing steampunk devotee, Matangi’s Kathryn McGregor said the groups tend to liaise online and gather regularly at workshops and events.

George steps Leamington go close up for win

Hautapu weathered a storm and then had a debutant to thank as they maintained an unbeaten run to beat Ōtorohanga 36-17 last Saturday.

Hautapu matched the host’s intensity in the first half and led following a clinical forward effort, where the experience of Mitch Jacobson, James Thompson, Dave Morris and Hamilton Burr - until he was injured - showing through.

Having turned 22-10 up, the Cambridge side was put under immense pressure as the home side responded with a converted try and was given boisterous backing by a home crowd enjoying its 125th Jubilee club day.

That was a queue for replacement halfback Maia George to step up on debut with quick tap penalties and darting runs - showing the confidence of someone playing his 50th game.

Kaea Hongara was also in outstanding form and had a hand in all four of Hautapu’s tries, continually breaching the Ōtorohanga defence with electrifying runs from fullback.

Tom Maiava and Mosese Dawai created havoc in the latter stages scoring long range tries to close out the game for a very creditable win. Ōtorohanga ran away with the reserves clash, 53-12, but this was a much better performance by the Hautapu Premier B side against the competition front runners.

Hautapu was well in touch at 17-7 behind at the break and it was not until later in the second half that Otorohanga managed to run away with three late tries.

Best for Hautapu were

forwards Logan Steffert and Ryan Yelavich, while hooker Oscar Anderson was again in the try scoring action. In the backs Dan Tau and Sam Tupou were all class in the midfield, and a special treat was to have former club, representative and national 7’s star Damian Karauna – now in his mid-40s - help the lads out, belying his age to show the touches of class that made him a star.

The Hautapu Colts played out another thriller against Fraser Tech in Hamilton on Saturday – the match swinging on two late tries.

The scores were locked in at 27-all with 10 mins to go, and the young Hautapu side suffered the heartbreak of seeing two long range tries being scored against them to lose 37 -27.

In contrast to previous weekends, this was a game where the Hautapu Colts came out firing on all cylinders, playing majority of the opening quarter in Fraser Tech’s half.

No 8 Tuhoe Kake stamped a comeback game with storming runs and was rewarded with an early try in the corner from a tight head scrum. Ben Strang then followed this scoring off a line break in the opposite corner.

Fraser Tech showed resilience of a quality team and mounted a comeback and exploited the gaps left by Hautapu on the edges to score tries of their own.

The rest of the game saw the teams trading tries as the game continually went end to end.

Fraser Tech showed how to play out the full 80 minutes with those two tries to come up trumps in a well contested game of rugby.

It was close, but no cigar as Leamington fell a try short of victory against Matamata in the Championship.

Relegated clubs Matamata and University have won all their games since being dropped down, and only Leamington had matched their record ahead of Saturday.

The Cambridge Stud Leamington Senior A side was beaten 26-23, having conceded two opportunistic tries to the visitors in the first half before mounting as comeback.

The visitors were leading 26–18 with 10 minutes on the clock and Leamington piled the pressure on to score an unconverted try to give Matamata some nervous

moments.

Leamington’s try scorers were Aaron Vercoe 2, Robert Day and Jackson Neels. Day kicked a penalty.

The Blues face another formidable opponent on Saturday in top of the table University.

The reserve clash also went Matamata’s way by a slender 17-15 margin.

Two tries to Josh Pakai and a conversion and penalty for Brett Pyke had the home side yup 15-12 at half time – and Matamata won it with the only scoring movement of the second half.

St Peters win by eight

This attack by St John’s College (in yellow) resulted in a try to take the Catholic boys’ school to within a point of St Peter’s School late in the second half.

St Peter’s School first XV survived a torrid second half to retain its unbeaten record in the Central North Island Secondary Schools rugby competition and defeat St John’s College of Hamilton 28-20 in Cambridge on Saturday.

The Catholic college threw

SORTED THE BANK

everything at St Peter’s and defended their line heroically to briefly take the lead in the second half. But the St Peter’s players, with their eye on the Rick Francis Memorial Shield at stake on the side-line, hit back with two tries in the final 10 minutes.

St Peter’s still has a game in hand over top-placed St Paul’s Collegiate who won 48-19 against Feilding High School in Feilding.

This week’s visitors to St Peter’s fortress ground are New Plymouth’s Francis Douglas Memorial College at midday on Saturday.

A family Three in contention for honours affair

Charlisse and Krystal Leger-Walker are having a break in Cambridge.

By Ruth Crampton

The Leger-Walker sisters are making a name for themselves in the world of basketball in the US. But for now, Krystal and Charlisse are taking a break at home in Waipā and can be seen on Fridays refereeing the Secondary School’s Basketball competition being played at St Peter’s.

Big sister Krystal was instrumental in raising the awareness and quality of the game during her time at St Peter’s. Before departing in 2016, Krystal and her Prem Basketball teammates won the National Secondary School Basketball title, after years of being ‘absolutely thrashed’.

She believes the grit and dedication to break into the basketball premier position in New Zealand taught her the skills to apply herself. There were a lot of firsts, and each step gave her the drive to push further and achieve great results. This determination and talent led to a scholarship to the University of Northern Colorado, who at that time were competing in a Mid Major league – the Big Sky Conference.

Fast forward five years and middle sister, Charlisse has joined her big sister in the US, and they are now both playing for top ranked Washington State University. Krystal had earlier transferred to Washington State from Northern Colorado after her coaches had moved universities.

Washington University competes in one of the Power 5 conferences – the Pac 12, and both girls play a key part in their success.

Charlisse has just been named in the All-American Tournament Team - the first freshman from Washington State University.

Both girls love being together and playing in the same team. During Covid they shared their bubble with their teammates and were testing each morning before heading out to their practices fully masked.

Fortunately, their team was the only one in the Pac to avoid Covid during the season and this meant that they were able to play most games in the competition. Their business studies continued online during this time, and they are now back in New Zealand during their summer break.

They have noticed over the past few years an increase in the number of Kiwis taking up scholarships at US universities. A number of St Peter’s students have gone on to study in the US having earned scholarships in a range of sports including basketball, athletics, rowing, tennis, and lacrosse. Krystal and Charlisse believe the kiwi ‘team’ culture makes New Zealanders a popular choice for US Universities. It is part of growing up here that gives all children the opportunity to try a range of sports and through that process learn various skills as they work towards their chosen sport.

Both would like to play in a professional capacity. Krystal has one more year of her studies to complete before she will move into that space. However, they both appreciate the reality of professional basketball in the US for women may mean they need to travel to other countries to achieve that goal. It is a much smaller league with only 12 drafted teams whereas the NBA male league has 30 drafted teams.

Little sister Tannika is Year 10 at St Peter’s and is following in her big sisters’ footsteps, with a promising career in basketball. Mum Leanne Walker is the coach of the school’s premier team, was a national basketball representative and this year was named the Female Coach of the Year by Basketball New Zealand.

Three Cambridge football teams are in contention for local and regional titles as the season passes its halfway stage.

Cambridge FC teams are chasing titles in the WaiBop Championship (men’s), Waikato Division Four (men’s) and Waikato Division Two (women’s).

Meanwhile, Cambridge’s top team, the Reds, have broken a sequence of losses with a remarkable come-frombehind win against one of Auckland’s top teams.

Playing third-placed Beachlands Maraetai at John Kerkhof Park last Saturday, the Reds started poorly and went behind to goals from Aaron Parry (22’) and Ben Culpan (28’).

Whatever happened or was said during the half-time team talk, Cambridge came out of the dressing rooms with second half resolve.

Winger Josh Nooijen scored within three minutes of the restart.

Then striker Josh Clarkin, playing his first full game since rejoining the club after a spell at Hamilton Wanderers, turned on the magic. He found the net in the 59th, 62nd, 82nd and 90th minutes, spearheading a fightback win for the Reds.

Unfortunately, the Reds have no fixture this weekend, robbing them of the chance to build their confidence with a follow-up win.

The club’s U-23s continue to play well in spells, despite struggling to find wins this season.

Against Beachlands Maraetai, the young team lost 3-1 in the curtainraiser at John Kerkhof Park.

Goals from Santiago Harris (9′), captain Reid Szopa (16′) and Rhys Stewart (52′) put the visitors ahead before substitute Ben Dixon replied for Cambridge with six minutes remaining.

Cambridge’s women’s team remain top of the Waikato Women’s Division Two competition after they won their seventh league match in a row, beating Mangakino United 9-0.

Cambridge got off to a flying start with two goals in the opening two minutes. By half-time they were 6-0 up and coasting.

Scorers were Olivia Milne (2), Maria

Cameron (2), Auryn Maroney (2), Rachel Hill, Selina Oliver and Mariela Robledo.

Cameron and Watson shared the Player of the Day honours.

In the WaiBop Championship, Cambridge’s six-match winning streak came to an end, losing 3-0 to Tauranga Old Blues.

The result lifts Old Blues to the top of the competition table, with Otumoetai and Cambridge chasing them for the title. Cambridge play at Otumoetai this Saturday, a game that may well have a major bearing on the championship outcome.

Player of the Day was Aaron Jenkins.

In Waikato Men’s Division One, Cambridge lost at home to Hamilton Wanderers.

Tom Gifford was at the heart of the game’s key moments as he conceded a first-half penalty and an own-goal to give Wanderers a 2-0 half-time lead.

In the second half, Gifford helped mount a fightback and he scored Cambridge’s only goal. He was also named Player of the Day. In Waikato Men’s Division Four, Cambridge came out best in a sevengoal affair at Huntly Thistle.

Cambridge went behind early but then recovered and scored through Shane Gray, Matt Vink, Chris Hill (penalty) and Player of the Day Jack Harman.

Despite trailing 4-1 with 10 minutes to go, Thistle fought back with two goals and gave Cambridge some nervous moments before the whistle went for a 4-3 win.

The win means Cambridge can go top of the division if they beat leaders Tokoroa at John Kerkhof Park this Saturday (12.30pm).

In the over 35s competition, Cambridge D1s beat West Hamilton United 3-1. Scorers for Cambridge were Mariano Castellon (2) and veteran David O’Donnell who celebrated his 56th birthday with his first goal of the season.

Cambridge’s second over-35 team lost 5-1 at home to Ngaruawahia United.

United led 3-0 by half-time but Cambridge fought back, scoring through James Clarke in the 70th minute and player coach Nick Sickelmore hitting the crossbar with a free kick from 50 metres.

Goalkeeper Adrian Walworth helped keep the margin respectable.

In the regional youth leagues, Cambridge U-12s beat Western United 9-2. Scorers were Mylo Maloney (4), Jack Wilson (2), Zach Kelk, Aden Joseph and Blake Urbahn. Player of the Day was Kawepo Mullins.

The U-13s beat Tauranga City 6-2, with goals from Luca Savage (3), Jordyn Haysom (2) and an own goal.

The U-15s drew 1-1 at Papamoa with Matthew Jordan scoring for Cambridge.

Yearbury: crash, crack and champ

By Andy McGechan

There was probably a small moment in time when Waikato man Dylan Yearbury thought his national title hopes had just flown out the window.

But a never-say-die attitude from the Husqvarna man was enough for him to complete the task he set himself when forced to settle for overall runner-up at last season’s COVID-19 pandemic-shortened New Zealand Enduro Championships. The task was to fight back and win it in 2021.

Yearbury (Husqvarna FE350) was in command after the first three of five rounds in this year’s championships, having compiled a 2-1-1 score-sheet from the events in Tokoroa and the Marlborough and Porirua/Upper Hutt regions respectively, and he arrived in the Wairarapa Region for the final two back-to-back rounds at the weekend in a confident mood.

Yearbury finished runner-up to his main title rival Tommy Buxton at round four on farmland near Masterton on Saturday and was still the favourite to go on and wrap it up on similar terrain near Martinborough the following day.

But a high-speed crash during Sunday’s fifth and final round very nearly shattered his dreams.

“I had a huge crash and the impact of that cracked the bike’s rear sub-frame. I knew it was risky to carry on with the bike damaged

THURSDAY JUNE 17, 2021

like that, but I didn’t have a lot of choice,” said the 26-year-old Cambridge builder.

“The crash was in the day’s first ‘special test’ and it stunned me a bit. I struggled to get a flow going with my riding after that. I went okay, but not brilliant.”

But even when Yearbury is not at his best, he’s still a lot better than so many others in the competition and he managed to end the day at Martinborough third overall of the 65 starters, finishing behind Whanganui’s Seth Reardon and Buxton.

Fortunately for Yearbury, this was easily enough for him to get the job done and he could therefore celebrate winning his first national enduro championships outright.

Buxton finished the series runner-up, with Reardon, Oparau’s James Scott and Taupo’s Wil Yeoman rounding out the top five.

Yearbury also added icing to his cake by claiming the over-301cc four-stroke class win.

He is current and two-time winner of the parallel-but-separate New Zealand Extreme Off-Road Championships, but never the enduro nationals and that’s probably largely due to him competing overseas in past years.

With Covid putting a crimp on international travel, it’s likely we’ll see Yearbury’s name feature a little more regularly at home.

Te Awamutu’s Phil Gibson also celebrated victory in the intermediate veterans 40-49 years class.

Rowing medal for Glenda

By Viv Posselt

Cambridge’s Glenda Rodger has become a recent recipient of a Rowing New Zealand Legacy medal saluting her contribution to the nation’s rowing record.

Glenda and nine others were presented with their medals last month. Previous recipients received theirs at earlier events; the initiative will see medals rolled out as new representatives are selected.

The initiative is part of Rowing New Zealand’s Legacy Programme which seeks to honour the country’s elite rowers through the decades. The recipients are all Rowing NZ alumni who have represented the country at major international regattas, including World Championship and/or Commonwealth Games, the Olympics or Empire Games.

Glenda was number 166 on the list and is the first in her rowing-centric family to receive the medal.

She represented New Zealand for four years in the late 1970s, and was part of the first NZ women’s eight team. She went on to win numerous North Island and national titles, and has won seven titles at New Zealand Masters. Together with her brother David Rodger, Glenda made rowing history as the first brother and sister to represent New Zealand in the same year.

“I feel very privileged to have been presented with the medal,” she said. “It is good that those early years in rowing have been recognised in this way.”

Glenda last rowed competitively in the late 1970s, capping off elite-level competition by rowing with a Hamilton-based women’s crew for a couple of years.

The high-achieving sportswoman has played representative netball, basketball, indoor netball, cycling and waka ama. The wider Rodgers family have made a name for themselves across a raft of sporting disciplines – probably most recognisably in rowing.

“There were about nine of us in the family who represented New Zealand in some form of sport.”

Once she stopped rowing, Glenda started cycling, but it was an injury that came out of left field during a basketball game

In May 2023 Cambridge’s Rugby Referees’ Association will celebrate their 100th birthday – and to acknowledge the refs, we talk to the men with the whistle. Today it’s Steve Morgan’s turn.

Meet the ref

Glenda Rodger with her Rowing New Zealand Legacy medal.

in June 2008 that turned her life around completely. She was concussed while playing in a Te Awamutu tournament but carried on playing. It was only 10 days later that she was diagnosed with severe post-concussion symptoms that left her with a delibiltating brain injury.

“It has been a real struggle… so much of my life went on hold.”

Her perseverance and love for sport saw her become an integral part of the Trike programme at the Avantidrome. While she isn’t doing that anymore, she continues to help others in her situation in as many ways as she can.

Cycling remains a part of her life. Glenda rides most Sundays with a group called Twisted Wheels, and also rides with the Velo Femmes, a Waikato women’s cycling team.

“I’m the oldest, but I do it not for the rankings but for company,” she said. “My goal now is never to be last … and I haven’t been last yet!”

2007 was the year I was introduced to the whistle, my kids had just started playing (age 5 and 6), each host team was made to provide a referee, so I was volunteered. This was in Brisbane, where we lived for eight years. We returned home in 2014 and in 2016 I picked up the whistle again and joined the Cambridge Rugby Referees. Not only is this an enjoyable past time, it keeps you fit, you meet some great people and it allowed me to also follow my sons’ rugby through secondary school. With one son at Uni and the other working, I continue to enjoy what reffing has to offer, from the look on the juniors faces when they break the ice, to the determination and hunger in the eyes of

the seniors at a much more leisurely time of the day.

It would be fair to say there is something in it for everyone, even if you don’t want to drive a whistle, you could help on the side-line or in general support back at the base. If you have ever considered becoming a referee, stop considering and Just Do It, you won’t regret it. Tap us on the shoulder at a game, or come to a meeting at Tom Voyle Lounge Memorial Park on a Monday night at 7.30, or simply email, cambridgerefs@gmail. com . See you at the game.

Cameron: I want to come back The Waipā based jockey who retired last year sitting 15th on the New Zealand all-time winners is planning a comeback.

Matthew Cameron caught many by surprise when he retired last December as the season was reaching its peak.

But after seven months, the 34-year-old has re-charged batteries.

“I’ve been getting a little bit of itchy feet here watching the races, and being so close to the Cambridge track I can hear it next door which is quite exciting,” he told Weigh In. “I want to come back and get stuck into it again.”

When Cameron hung up his boots after riding the Ross McCarroll-trained Initiative to victory at Awapuni he revealed his desire to ride had faded.

“I think I just burnt out,” he said. “I’d been doing it for so many years consistently other than the odd holiday every year. I just needed a bit of time to myself and to get away from the game.

“I still love it to bits, but it can be tough and hard on the body, and I just needed that time away mentally to just cruise and have a bit of time off.

“I stopped just before Christmas and a lot of people were scratching their heads, thinking why would you stop when you can make so much money over that period?

“I was just over it and wasn’t feeling it as much as I should, and it wasn’t fair on some of the owners and trainers that I wasn’t out there giving it my 100 percent.

“The last two months have been good, and I have been really feeling like I want to go back.

Matthew Cameron has been getting itchy feet.

“I’m excited to step back out there and get stuck into it.”

Cameron has no concerns about his weight – he shed some during his sabbatical.

“I have lost a couple of kilos since I have stopped riding, which is crazy. I’m thinking it is a bit of muscle I have lost not trying to hold on to these horses for the last six months.

Cameron is looking to ease back into trackwork and building his riding fitness again before trials and jump outs and eventually a return to race day riding.

“Hopefully, when I know, I’ll know when it’s time to go back to the races,” he said.

Cameron sits on a tally of 1408 New Zealand wins and 94 Group or Listed victories, including 15 at Group One level.

He has ridden 150 or more winners in a New Zealand season three times and has five times won more than 100 races in a season. – NZ Racing Desk

Here's your chance

CAMBRIDGE NEWS | 17

McCarthy’s sabbatical pays off Three decades of work is paying off for Cambridge breeder Greg McCarthy with the emergence of the exciting three-year-old Ayrton.

The gelding bounced back from his first defeat two weeks ago when stepped up to a mile in the Gr.3 Gunsynd Classic (1600m) at Eagle Farm on Saturday, racing away to score his first black-type success by 2-3/4 lengths.

It was his fourth win from five starts, and his trainers Mick Price and Michael Kent Jnr. are now planning a spring campaign that could culminate in the A$7.5m Golden Eagle (1500m) in Sydney.

Ayrton’s granddam is Sabbatical, whose four wins on the track included the Listed Canterbury Stakes (1200m) for McCarthy in 1993.

“I had a year off work and worked at Chequers Stud, and while I was there, I bought this filly off the stud owner Jim Campin,” McCarthy said.

“That time at Chequers I saw as my sabbatical, hence the name.”

Sabbatical proved to be a tricky breeder for the Cambridge accountant.

Frequently she was difficult to get in foal when she had a foal at foot, and she only once had progeny in consecutive

years.

But she did produce Monterey Bay, a winner of the Gr.3 Eulogy Stakes (1600m) and fourth in the 2002 Gr.1 New Zealand Oaks (2400m). Her final foal was Ayrton’s dam, the unraced Falkirk mare Odessa.

McCarthy didn’t have much better luck with Odessa. She died in 2019 at the age of 10, two years after producing Ayrton.

“Her first foal was an Iffraaj colt called Liberation Lad, and he was such a nice type that we decided to go to Iffraaj again in 2016,” McCarthy recalled.

“Liberation Lad ended up winning a couple in the bush in Australia, but Ayrton was an even nicer type.

“He was a good foal who slotted into the system well, but it wasn’t until we galloped him for the first time that we thought he could be very good. He covered a lot of ground with his stride.”

Ayrton showed his potential with a close second at his only New Zealand trial for trainer Lauren Brennan behind subsequent Gr.1 New Zealand 1000 Guineas (1600m) placegetter Cornflower Blue before bloodstock agent Phill Cataldo arranged his sale to clients of Price and Kent, one which allowed McCarthy to

Greg McCarthy

retain a share.

McCarthy missed Ayrton’s first two starts because of Covid-19 restrictions but made it to Brisbane for his fourth race, his upset defeat in the Gr.3 Fred Best Classic (1400m) on May 29, and he was back there again on Saturday for the Gunsynd Classic.

“It was a huge thrill to watch him win on Saturday.

He’s potentially the best horse I’ve bred, and the culmination of 30 years of effort with the family.”

McCarthy doesn’t have any fillies out of Odessa remaining, but he still has other granddaughters of Sabbatical that he breeds from, so the family link won’t be severed for a while yet.

Ayrton has now headed for a break and the lightly raced rising four-year-old is likely to have two or three runs prior to the Golden Eagle at Rosehill on October 30.

Bayleys gets you more.

Average sale price % over GV (Government Valuation)

We have known this for a while, but now we can show you the proof!

60

The best way we can measure our performance is by looking at the percentage over the GV that we achieve for our vendors.

While GVs vary, some are high and some seem low, the GV is the only constant number that every property has that we can compare a sales price to. We’ve been tracking this number over the past six months and what we have found may surprise you, but not us!

On average over the past six months properties sold by Bayleys in Cambridge have sold at 35% above GV.

Whilst properties sold by other companies or by private sale, sold for an average of 25% over GV.

A 10% difference in sales price, makes choosing Bayleys an easy decision.
