Subdivision St Peters up to the ‘test’ plans are put on hold

By Mary Anne Gill

Plans for a 40-hectare subdivision on the western outskirts of Cambridge have taken a hit with the announcement independent hearing commissioners have refused the developers’ resource consent application.

Chairperson Greg Hill and Tara Hills said in their decision, released Tuesday, the application from Matthew and Mike Smith on behalf of 3Ms of Cambridge Ltd was a noncomplying activity.

It was not in “general accordance” with an already approved Waipā District Council structure plan which had gone through a lengthy public plan process with owners and became operative in March 2019, they said.

The application sought to subdivide four existing lots on Cambridge Road into 246 residential lots, a retirement village, commercial centre, two super lots for residential and high-density residential development, a school, roads and reserves.

Site clearing began earlier this year.

“3Ms is naturally disap-

pointed with the decision and frustrated by the RMA processes which are getting in the way of delivering more houses to the Cambridge community,” director Matt Smith told the News. “We are reviewing the decision and considering all of our options.

“We are also hopeful that council will show leadership in addressing this problem for the benefit of the Cambridge community.”

Known as the C2 growth cell, it has been earmarked for future urban development to accommodate a projected population boom in Cambridge.

Issues around a collector road and stormwater corridor along with a lack of recreation space, both key requirements in the council’s structure plan, were the crucial issues of concern for the commissioners.

Five adjoining property owners who opposed the application said some of the infrastructure needed for the subdivision would end up on their properties rather than on the 3Ms’ land.

In their submission, Frank and Colleen Ritchie said the Continued on page 2

This was to be a week of relaxation and celebration for St Peter’s School in Cambridge a welcome break after a term of turmoil which started with allegations of bullying, the resignation of principal Dale Burden and ended with the election of new chair John Macaskill-Smith.

In a wide-ranging interview with The News last Friday, Macaskill-Smith, who has only been on the board for little over a year, talked of the future and his desire for the school to become

more connected locally.

Then he headed off for a break and the school prepared for the inaugural Preparatory School rugby tournament.

But the next day, on Saturday July 3, those lessons Macaskill-Smith says the school learned about dealing with crises came to the fore when a global cyber-attack paralysed its network security and resulted in the school’s communications’ channels taken offline.

In a txt to The News, Macaskill-Smith said the school was being “tested” again and it was up to the challenge.

your one stop shop for events

St Peter’s has a roll of 1260; 670 of them who live in either Cambridge or Hamilton and 500 who are boarders.

For most of its 85 years, Cambridge people have called the school ‘St Peter’s on the Highway’, to differentiate it from St Peter’s Catholic Primary School in the town.

The highway no longer goes past St Peter’s and the town, which was roughly 4kms from the school, is now rapidly advancing towards it.

Macaskill-Smith says that sense of being an elitist institution disconnected Continued on page 2

Most of the staff live locally, the school facilities are extensively used by the Cambridge community and a lot of the school’s money is spent on local contractors.

Centres of excellence for golf, swimming, hockey, equestrian and cycling along with hectares of fields constantly hosting top-class sports and a theatre which stages dance and music competitions have added to the school’s reputation nationally.

The school’s Owl Farm, a demonstrator dairy farm with a milking herd of 600 cows, surrounds the campus and is a strategic partnership between Lincoln University, Fonterra and several key companies.

developers’ proposal would see part of the main road and services pass through their property in Grasslands Drive. That would require major changes to their farming and horse training operations.

Gareth Hawthorn, also from Grasslands Drive, said the developers’ proposal was a “major departure” from the council’s structure plan. Under the application, his land could be subdivided, and he could be one of several landowners who would pay for the collector road.

Xiaofeng Jiang and Liping Yang of Cambridge Road said the adverse character and amenity effects resulting from the proposal were more than minor. They said the application did not promote sustainable management of natural and physical resources and was inconsistent with Waipā District Council’s District Plan.

Gary Alton, of Racecourse Road, said the proposal would see the roading and services infrastructure put through well-developed properties used for thoroughbred racing.

Jeanette and Desmond Brough, in association with Cambridge Cohousing Project Society, said the proposal to move the collector road, roundabout and stormwater swale infrastructure further west of the 40-hectare site would jeopardise plans to create a communityled housing project.

Council’s District Growth and Regulatory group manager, Wayne Allan, said the decision did not dispute the land being used for urban development purposes and this matter was not contested at the hearing.

“The C2 growth cell remains an important urban growth cell for Cambridge that we must activate and unlock to deliver more housing and public and community facilities, which the town urgently needs,” Allan said.

Council had committed to funding the growth infrastructure, he said.

for the oldest of their three children. Their son is now in his second year at university while the other two are in Years 8 and 10.

“We wanted a co-ed environment, one building great New Zealanders.”

It was three students who took them on the tour that convinced the couple St Peter’s was the right school for t John Macaskill-Smith heir children.

They “hooked” them on the opportunities and the pitfalls and Macaskill-Smith was incredibly struck by the students’ confidence.

He later found out students volunteer to take the tours and are not given any preparation other than to be honest.

“It’s an amazing campus when you drive in, you can’t help but experience that,” he says.

And then there is the staff who he says care and are committed to the students under their care.

It was the staff Macaskill-Smith spoke to first on his appointment as chair. He knows what they have gone through in the last few months.

“They are kind of relieved we are focusing on what’s next, how do we build on what we have and how do we focus on that extra opportunity. There’s been a bit of confusion and anxiety, but that’s behind us.”

Asked whether he and the board are worried the school’s brand has taken a hit given the bad publicity, Macaskill-Smith concedes what the school has gone through is troubling.

“People understand organic organisations that are based around people will have their times when things can get a little bit gritty.

“We continue to get very, very strong support from parents and families. The kids continue to achieve incredibly well both academically and across the school.

“Overall people understand that what we’ve gone through recently, while troubling, is the kind of thing all organisations experience at different times and it’s really about what we do now to move forward that people will be looking at rather than what happened.”

Communications during it were made difficult because it was an employment issue and because the school’s own communications network needed fixing.

That became obvious when during a bomb scare, the school did not have the ability to txt information out to families.

Lessons have been learned and changes made, he says.

Macaskill-Smith is an experienced manager in the health industry. He led Pinnacle, a Waikato-based primary health organisation, and then Ventures, Pinnacle’s social enterprise which creates partnerships between communities, patients and providers.

He left last year to work with start-ups, non-Government organisations, private and public sector organisations in advisory and governance roles.

One of those is Tend where he is the head of strategy for the Auckland-based virtual

healthcare provider. Former Telecom boss Theresa Gattung and her fellow My Food Bag founders Cecilia and James Robinson are on the board.

It is in that digital space that MacaskillSmith says St Peter’s is ready to create more partnerships.

“One of the exciting things about the St Peter’s environment, while its independence can sometimes make things challenging, it also means we can look at doing things differently.

Like ask ourselves what does education look like in the future.”

He knows as an employer that sometimes you take people on and they are not fit for purpose. That is where a school like St Peter’s can go into partnerships to provide the cuttingedge children can experience earlier.

“Today our teachers are teaching kids who can outrun them. They have access to information in the way we didn’t.”

Other capital projects are still planned, like an upgraded Performing Arts Centre.

The priority for the board over the next few months is to review what St Peter’s stands for in all areas of education, with a view to the future educational need and to determine what organisational structure is the best fit to support the achievement of that vision, says Macaskill-Smith.

In 1936, Arthur Broadhurst and James Beaufort named the school they founded St Peter’s and gave it the motto “Structa Saxo” Latin for “Built on a Rock”.

“The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it didn’t fall, for it was founded on the rock,” Jesus said in the Parable of the Wise and the Foolish Builders in the Gospel of Matthew.

When things settle down again, MacaskillSmith and his board of trustees will continue to build and strengthen the school with that solid rock on their minds.

Florence celebrates radio racing

By Viv Posselt

The return of racing to the airways this month as part of a new sports radio network leaves Cambridge’s Florence Shearman feeling vindicated in her efforts to bring racing back to the fans.

Radio Sport fell silent at the end of March last year when its owners, NZME, declared it non-viable in

a Covid-19 environment.

At around the same time, the TAB’s Trackside Radio closed. Fans of both hoped that when sport and racing returned, so would the wallto-wall coverage they once enjoyed.

An announcement last month revealed that sports, including racing, will be back on the airways from July 19 via a dedicated 24/7 platform

to be delivered by SENZ, the newly-formed Kiwi arm of Australia’s largest syndicator of sports radio content, Sports Entertainment Network (SEN).

Speaking at an Auckland event last month, the network’s CEO Craig Hutchison said the July 19 launch, on almost 30 radio stations across New Zealand and on the SENZ app – the latter is already available to New Zealanders - would set the tone just days out from the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. He pledged SENZ would deliver live sport broadcasting, racing and sports-talk content.

The loss of Trackside Radio a year ago irked Florence Shearman, a well-known advocate for seniors and ardent racing fan. She said: “I mix with a lot of jockeys, trainers, staff at the stables and the like, and everyone was really disappointed. I listened to what they were

saying and mentioned it to Winston Peters when he was here for a Cambridge Jockey Club meeting. I know he has worked hard to bring it back.”

Florence said many seniors were racing fans who relied heavily on radio to follow their sport. “Some of them are sight-impaired and can’t watch it on television.

Others involved in the industry relied heavily on it to follow racing news. I am very pleased to see it’s coming back.”

It was also announced last month that SENZ would be the major partner of New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing’s (NZTR) 2021 Horse of the Year Awards, to be held in September.

Hutchison said the network was proud to partner the awards. “New Zealand owners, breeders, trainers, jockeys and participants have united to drive the industry forward despite the

most difficult circumstances ever encountered on the back of the global pandemic.”

NZTR chief executive Bernard Saundry said: “We are excited to have SENZ on board for the Awards.

Having worked closely with SEN in Australia over the past 12 months, we are looking forward to their impact on the New Zealand market.”

Cambridge Jockey Club CEO Mark Fraser-Campin said he was delighted to see the return of racing to the airways. “It will serve to meet the needs of those who rely on radio for their sporting information and will further encourage people to listen to racing.”

Both men gave Florence the thumbs up for advocating for the return of racing radio.

“Good on her … overall this will be good for the industry,” said Mark.

Give a mum a muffin

By Viv Posselt

Te Awamutu’s ‘muffin lady’ Jill Taylor is hoping more people across the region will volunteer to make muffins for mums at Waikato Hospital’s New-born Intensive Care Unit (NICU).

Jill spearheads an initiative she started 11 years ago to offer mums at the unit a lunchtime snack. Her own new-born grandson spent six weeks in the unit 11 years ago, and she saw first-hand how difficult it was for the mums to access meals, particularly if they had no family or other supporters available to help out.

“There was a fridge there, but often by the end of the day, whatever they had put in there had gone,” she said.

“There were women in the unit from quite far afield who had absolutely no family support.”

Jill stepped in. She started taking chilly bins of food into the unit, one to begin with and then three of them. She campaigned to get the NICU mums better supported in terms of food, finally succeeding in securing breakfasts and meal vouchers, and then enlisted several volunteers to make dozens of home-made muffins for lunchtimes.

There are generally around

Te Awamutu’s Jill Taylor, right, with one of her most prolific muffin makers, Teresa Parker

40 mums linked to the unit through their babies. Jill started providing muffins five days a week, but for the past two years has extended that to seven days.

That amounts to about 280 muffins a week.

She has three regular volunteer bakers in Hamilton, one in Ōhaupo and a few in Te Awamutu.

Some supermarkets help by donating slightly shopdamaged items, but for the most part, the volunteer bakers supply both ingredients and time. The muffins are either delivered or collected, little baskets or bags of tasty treats, individually-wrapped and labelled.

“Some people make a batch, others do several dozen,” she said. Jill’s

husband Alan Taylor, also known as the ‘muffin man’, most often delivers the batches to the hospital.

“They are always very gratefully received, and given the numbers we supply, we really need more volunteer bakers to help us.

Those coming on board can make as many or as few as they like, and we can collect them if that is easier than delivering to me.”

Jill has lived in Te Awamutu for the past 15 years or so. She is known to advocate around concerns where she sees them and applies an equally highenergy approach to her muffin initiative.

Those keen to help should contact Jill on 027 415 4908 or email her at jill@ taylormaderesolutions.co.nz.

Lego and letters for Bastille Day

Cambridge’s French connection will take pride of place this week with a number of Bastille Day events organised by the Cambridge-Le Quesnoy Friendship Association.

A line-up of French-themed activities will celebrate the town’s connection with its sister city in France, Le Quesnoy. Bastille Day, marked on July 14, is France’s national day.

This year it falls in the first week of the school holidays, and the Cambridge-Le Quesnoy group has teamed up with the Cambridge Museum, Library, and i-Site to have free French-themed children’s activities.

From July 12 to 25, the Cambridge Museum will have the ‘Tower Lego Challenge’ for children aged 3 to 12, where those building a Lego Eiffel Tower will go in the draw to win a family pass to Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari. That activity will be part of the museum’s toys and taonga tākaro exhibition featuring toys through the decades, some dating back to the early 1900s.

Youngsters aged 6 to 12 can take part in ‘Letters to Le Quesnoy’, an activity where they can send a postcard to children at

All ages can pick up on the history of Bastille Day by having a photo taken with the life-size photo board of King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette at the Cambridge Library. The famous pair were the last king and queen of France before Bastille Day and the French Revolution.

Adults can attend a movie soirée at Tivoli Cinema on Wednesday’s Bastille Day, starting at 5.15pm, and featuring a new French movie with English sub-titles after a social gettogether. Several restaurants are gearing up to offer French cuisine, including Que Bar on Bastille Day evening and The Boatshed Karapiro on July 16.

NO PLANET B

Fluoride: forming a view

By Peter Matthews

Chatting to a client the other day, the conversation turned to a subject I know to be controversial. I won’t feign a view I don’t hold but sometimes it is best to avoid a subject rather than clash with someone for whom I am, for the time being, working. Referrals are good too, and less likely to come from someone I have recently disagreed with.

As it happens the subject in question was fluoridation of the water supply - a subject on which I do not have a view.

This, I thought, is something which needs to be remedied; not the fluoridation of the water - my lack of a viewpoint. So, I have been doing a bit of reading. It seems that like many topics, there are as many arguments as there are participants in the conversation. There have certainly been a lot of studies undertaken and the conclusions reached are spread across the spectrum of possible positions.

The only demonstrable benefit of putting fluoride in a community’s water supply is a probable reduction in dental caries (tooth decay) amongst the population. On the other hand, it can be shown that there are potential risks in terms of toxicity to certain persons of the added fluoride, notwithstanding that it can also be shown that there are no risks.

Depends which study you look at.

This is looking like a fairly even argument, which is why some authorities (I’m talking worldwide here) choose to fluoridate their water supply and others do not.

It has been said that in order to reach the teeth of the stratum of society which might benefit most from it, the

fluoride should be added to soft drinks rather than drinking water.

That point leads to the argument that protecting the teeth of children who do not clean them should be the responsibility of parents rather than the local authority.

I can see some weight in that argument.

Iodised table salt has been a success story in reducing iodine deficiency and the illnesses which arise from it - goitre is one of them - I remember learning about that in geography lessons. I recall it being predominantly a third world condition.

Interestingly, fluoride can be added to salt a lot more cheaply than it can be added to water, and maybe would hit more of its target demographic when conveyed in that medium. Of course, this has been tried and the results are as varied as might be expected.

So - do I have a view yet?

Water fluoridation was big news in the early 20th century, particularly in the US, and perhaps its persistence today has more to do with momentum than sense.

There is ample information available in all societies where fluoridation of the water supply might feasibly occur to enable parents to ensure the dental health of their children - should that be a priority for them.

Therefore, I think my view is this: It is not the responsibility of the local authority to add fluoride to the town water supply.

AGE OF REASON

A jab at bureaucracy Watching a much-relieved Minister Chris Hipkins show clear relief that the latest plane-laden pallets of Pfizer Covid tubes arrived on Monday took me back to the experience of being jabbed. Medically and professionally speaking the use of the word jab is both ugly and demeaning but having now undergone the two flesh-invading experiences the word does, somehow, feel apt.

Now that we of more advanced years have accomplished – but not necessarily accepted – that we are Level 3 participants in this poorly administered invasion of our bodies, it behoves us to examine the experience, together with how the government and its medical agents have handled the whole saga.

Firstly, we have learned that when a senior politician – with relatively little experience of the political spectrum – appears in our screen-dominated lounge and declares that there will be a million purple-topped tubes arriving in July he does not mean during July where the mid-point is the 15th of the month.

He means by 11.59pm on the 31st. Hipkins is an inherently honest man thrust into a role that was not of his making. But his sincere honesty is matched with a cherubic countenance that makes him good for television. And an (almost) believing nation glued to his every word.

That the same cherub can also say, in the same breath, that the whole nation will have their jabs by the end of 2021 is possibly his equally honest personal belief. Apart from the naysayers who insist on refusing to accept the needle and thus place the other 85 per cent-or-so people at increasing risk.

What drives these people beggars belief but read the average letter to the editor in any newspaper and they will be revealed. Accept, if you will, that it is their God-given right to protest but I would be surprised if they have had any conversations with the deity to hear his view.

So, I have had my protective fluids inserted into my arm. Which necessitated driving twice to Te Rapa – two round trips totalling one-and-three-quarter hours - to move, at a good speed, through the six-layered

checking, re-checking, piercing, checked again and lollypopsupported mandatory 20 minute pre-departure waiting procedures.

Perfectly reasonable and polite people to greet, meet, administer, jab and then enforce entrapment in a very bare room while awaiting release.

The role of the District Health Board – on its knees in A&E terms - is very questionable. Their inability to let their autocratic control go a fraction - to at least permit country town medical centres to do the ‘local’ thing - is only a whisper short of criminal.

But it appears we wilt into nothing short of being in a magnificent position compared to other regions.

Driving down from Auckland at dinnertime on Friday the talkback radio informed me that there is a ‘secret’ phone number in Taranaki. Primarily it was for the sole use of MIQ workers to arrange for their Covid medication. But the 0800 number (broadcast to all who cared to listen) is now in the hands of the wily elderly folk of Taranaki who use it gleefully and successfully to by-pass the DHB’s abhorrent bureaucracy.

But wait – there is, on the car radio, a call next from Bay of Plenty letting their ‘secret’ number out of the bag – followed seemingly a fraction of a second later, by the one in use in Northland.

When all this is over the high standards of medical support at our DHB will sadly be sullied by the appalling administration side of the wobbly and inefficient money-devouring of the DHB management.

If you want a speedy and efficient, friendly service there is an excellent, mainly Maori managed, facility in Wairere Dive, Hamilton much closer to Cambridge.

Friends of ours who have utilised it for their Covid jabs speak highly of the friendly and efficient service.

Amazing how the Number 8 wire mentality, that has led this country’s innovations for generations, can circumvent political correctness and TV screen pronouncements.

Going with the water flow Blair Voorend takes readers through Waipā’s new water treatment plant.

By Blair Voorend

With water a big issue talked about around the country, in Waipā the Water Treatment Plant on Parallel Road is close to completion.

But many in the community probably don’t even know where their rates to pay for water go or where their water comes from.

So we took a tour of the $36m project to find out.

The new facility is seen as an upgrade for the future infrastructure of the region and a project to accommodate for the growing population in the region.

Waipa Council project engineer Gordon Macrae said the new plant will take over work from the old plant and service a wider growing area.

The existing plant has a processing capability of 3-4 mega litre (million litres) – the new one will handle 12 mega litre and there is expansion room to reach 16.

Council takes 26,410 cubic metres (26

million litres) of water every day to feed Waipā from various sources, so with a growing population improved systems are needed with Parallel Rd to be a great benefit to the Te Awamutu region.

A simple breakdown of how the facility works is seen as a four step process of how the water comes into the treatment plant and out the other side treated and ready to drink.

The first step is flocculation where a chemical called ACH, aluminum chlorohydrate, is added to the water straight from the river in a flocculation tank to bind organics in the water that are easy to screen out.

From the flocculation tank it moves to the prescreen, which is a plant that sucks water through membranes which are 500 microns thick - half a millimetre - and extract any waste built up after the flocculation process.

The waste from this then goes into man made ponds on site where it can be recycled through the same process saving a further

The giant 1.5 mega litre reserve tank on site.

Waste ponds hold the water that can be recycled through the system again.

10 percent of water. Left over sludge, cleared from ponds annually, will go to the Cambridge Waste Water Treatment Plant.

“It ensures that we get the most out of the water we have pumping through and minimise as much waste as possible,” Macrae said.

After the prescreening the water moves to the filtration process involving four giant racks with four filters in each and 32 tubes with fibres in each screen the water before it moves to the UV and chlorination stage.

The water gets a final UV screening which also monitors for odour and taste.

Macrae says the UV process reduces odour.

“During the summer there tends to be higher levels of algae which can leave a bad taste or smell in the already clean water.”

The water is then pumped out to Taylor’s Hill reservoir in Te Awamutu and a 1.5 mega litre reserve tank on the Parallel Rd. A highly advanced system it takes a lot of technology and power to keep things running

- half of the plant cost, $18 million, goes into its “engine room”. Macrae said that with the new plant and its capability it will later become the hub of Waipa’s water system.

The water treatment plant upgrade began in June 2020 and is ahead of its end-ofOctober 2021 completion date.

Macrae said that the development has been done without a hitch with construction starting on time while design work was able to continue through lockdown.

The project could be planned well in advance and equipment was ordered from overseas early to avoid delays “Not having started construction until after the lockdown we were able to plan ahead so we didn’t have any delays with shipping,” There were delays in the new 16km supply pipeline started in October 2019, notably a month long shutcown as a result of Covid.

The line will connect Taylor’s Hill reservoir in Te Awamutu to the new treatment on Parallel Road.

Five are a hive of industry

By Steph Bell-Jenkins

A honey of an idea has got five Cambridge High School students off to a flying start in the 2021 Young Enterprise Scheme (Yes).

Run by the Lion Foundation, Yes is a nationwide competition that challenges groups to create their own product or service and bring it to the market.

Participants compete in their home region first, then winners head to the national awards in Wellington to vie for a share of $23,000 in prize money.

CHS students Courtenay Baker, Sharia Anderton, Ben Radford, Isla Trower and Maddie Senior are taking part through their year 12 business studies class and have streaked out to an early lead in the Waikato competition by winning a

product validation challenge.

Their company, Hive Hut, produces a range of beeswaxbased lip balms, body butters, lotion bars, candles and wax melts, which have been sold online and at the Cambridge Lions Club’s Trash ‘N’ Treasure market and other Waikato markets since February.

“We wanted something with an environmental focus so we did a bit of research and beeswax is a by-product in the process of making honey,” said Courtenay, the company’s CEO. “There’s a lot of ways you can use beeswax, so we decided to make things people could use in their everyday lives. It allowed us to go into the community and ask hobbyist beekeepers to donate their beeswax and so we could make sustainable products and reduce waste.”

With their raw material sourced for free, the group did “a lot of Googling” to find recipes for their products.

Before making them they tested their viability by surveying potential buyers – a process that saw them take first place in the Waikato region’s product validation challenge.

“We didn’t really expect to do so well so that was really exciting,” Courtenay said.

A bake sale at the Trash ‘N’ Treasure market raised the initial capital needed for equipment and ingredients such as moulds, packaging and shea butter.

“After that we had a testing day to try out the products on family and friends, which allowed us to tweak and refine our recipes,” Courtenay said.

So far Hive Hut has put about 9kg of unwanted

On the beat with Senior Constable DEB THURGOOD

Working with you works…

Hello again, who can believe we are in July already! This Friday brings the end of term 2 and the start of school holidays. While I will take the opportunity to remind everyone of school holiday safety, I also have a few other things to discuss today.

Firstly, I want to bring you a good news story.

On Friday last week, a member of our community had his cherished (and valuable) mountain bike stolen in a burglary. An opportunistic offender made off with the bike after he and two friends wandered past the rear of his business property on their way to the shop. E mployees gave chase and were able to give Police a good indication of the area into which the thief had gone.

Members of our team subsequently went to an address and while the reception we received was not a warm one, the distinctive bicycle was located safe and sound. Needless to say, we had a very relieved and happy owner at the end of the day and the offender is being held to account for his actions.

Another great part of my week has been seeing the strong community support for crime prevention. Last week Sergeant Ben Joll and I were among speakers at a meeting of local retailers convened by the Chamber of Commerce. We provided information, advice and support around retail loss prevention.

If you missed out, contact me via the Police station or email CambridgeCommunityLiaison@ police.govt.nz for a copy of the notes. Later in the week, I met with a representative of the Te Miro

community and this Friday, I will be meeting with locals out at Maungatautari – both areas are keen to learn more around crime prevention, CCTV and how we can work together to make Cambridge less of a target for criminals. Eileen Hawkins, Community Engagement Officer at Neighbourhood Support Cambridge is also attending, and she will be working to further develop NSG with residents in these areas. I am excited at the positive outcomes that I know will be achieved for all.

And finally, I come back to school holiday safety. With lots of people taking to the roads for a break away, remember to drive safely and to the conditions. Ensure your car is up to Warrant of Fitness standard, check the usual fluids as well as tyre treads and pressure. (Maybe also consider taking a set of jumper leads ready for the possibility that one of the family leaves the interior light on in the car!)

When leaving your house, ensure all windows and doors are locked, don’t advertise that you are heading away. Have a friend or neighbour keep an eye on things at your place. If you are stay-cationing, remember the rules around ensuring children are suitably supervised. If you are not having time off with children, enjoy the quieter local roads and easier commute to work, but watch out for our youth who will be out and about on foot, on bicycles and scooters more than usual.

Until next time, have a good week, Deb.

beeswax to good use and made $1000.

“We’ve sold 135 products so far and our goal is to sell 300 before September,” Courtenay said.

“I don’t think we were too profit focused when we went into this; Wellington has been our biggest motivator to be honest. Helping to reduce environmental harm was also important.”

She said the group was really enjoying the competition.

“It’s been such a unique learning opportunity for all Cambridge High School students Courtenay Baker and Isla Trower sell their Hive Hut products at a market stall. of us.”

Letters…

Covid19 In response to Barbara Linton’s letter relating to Covid debate (July 1) simple fact checking shows that her statements relating to Covid19 vaccination are false.

Her claim of ‘total effectiveness of Ivermectin for Covid’ is not supported by the facts. Ivermectin was developed by MSD and is used to treat or prevent parasites in animals. There are many reports that patients who have followed this false advice have been hospitalised after self-medicating with Ivermectin.

Medical authorities say there is no evidence that it is effective for Covid and should only be administered to humans in authorised trials. Note that MSD do not recommend its use in humans.

None of the four British Airways pilots who died suffered from blood clots. One died from injuries sustained in a crash off his mountain bike. Another died from Covid19, contracted while on a visit to the US. Maybe he would still be alive if he had received a Covid vaccination before his visit.

David Griffiths Cambridge Just irresponsible I have read a lot of letters in this paper that have caused me to roll my eyes and snort, (e.g. the recent hyperbolic claim that a rebate on low emission vehicles is akin to communism) but I think Cambridge News acted irresponsibly when it printed Barbara Linton’s anti-vaccination letter (July 1). It’s one thing to print opinions, no matter how ridiculous they may be, but this letter was presented as a series of facts, albeit with no credible sources. Unfortunately, some people will be alarmed and inclined to believe B. Linton’s dubious claims and may be put off from having a Covid vaccine, thereby putting themselves and others at risk and

prolonging the effects of this pandemic. B. Linton’s claim that the vaccines are in breach of the Nuremberg Code is false, because the vaccines are well tested and therefore not experimental and are also only given with consent. A quick google will reassure people that the four British pilots that B. Linton claims died from the effects of the vaccine, in fact died from a variety of causes, including one who died from the effects of Covid-19. None of them died as a result of the vaccination. I don’t think any newspaper should be a vehicle for dangerous conspiracy theories that will harm public health, and the damage has now been done.

Sam Brydon Maungatautari Fake news Regarding Barbara Linton’s letter last week.

It was a vulnerable week for some of us ‘seniors’ - many getting our first and second Covid jabs - so her remarks about four pilot deaths hit a raw spot. A quick google check showed it was indeed a false story.

The lovely nurse (Faye) who did my injection spent quite a little time with each of us (as did the other two nurses) and one question asked was “so you didn’t succumb to all the ‘fake news’?”

I actually confessed to her that I almost had - but being the bearer of a TB scar and various injections (polio etc) got at school in our youth, and tetanus since, one can see the logic of the current regime.

She also pointed out that ‘all the scientists around the world’ worked together to develop the vaccine which culminated in the quick production with the technology available in the 21st century. Makes complete sense doesn’t it? What a shame we cannot ‘all work together’ to achieve ‘world peace’ eh?

It’s misinformation In the small print under Contacts, it is stated that publication of contributions are [sic] entirely at the discretion of editorial staff.

However it appears that no discretion was used in publishing the letter from Barbara Linton.

This letter reports misinformation as fact and is potentially dangerous in the statements made. Even Facebook removes such misinformation from its pages.

I find it very disturbing that this letter was published in the Cambridge News.

Fiona Rhodes Hamilton Covid debate Editorial director Roy Pilott responds: Yes, I should have edited out statements presented as fact when they were not.We erred on this occasion and letter writers have correctly held us accountable.

More climate views Thank you Celine Kearney and Andrew Hammond (letters July 1) for your comments.

The climate changes, it has done so for millions of years and will do so for another. I have spent a lot of time researching climate changed and the supposed causes but have yet to find any evidence related to man-made CO2. The governmentt has done a good con job of convincing New Zealanders our emissions have caused the climate to change.

Atmospheric CO2 is 410ppm and two per cent of that is the agreed contribution due to man’s global CO2 emissions. Remember, CO2 is the lifeblood of all plants and animals and quite simply, without it, we die as there wouldn’t be enough food to go around.

The late Professor Chris De Freitas once said: “The climate has warmed about 0.6 °C in the past 100 years, but most of that warming occurred prior to 1940, before the post WW

II industrialisation that led to an increase in carbon dioxide emissions. But warming does not confirm that CO2 is causing it. Climate is always warming or cooling. There are natural variability theories of warming.”

I too want a future for our Grandchildren, but I don’t want half the earth torn up to satisfy the demand for cobalt smd lithium to manufacture plastic encased batteries to run EVs. So, by all means let’s better manage factory emissions, but an EV is not an answer for a multitude of reasons, nor will they make one iota of difference to mitigating the forever natural, changing climate – all it will do is make people feel good but at farmers’ expense! (Abridged) A Oakley Hamilton Bowled over I have been a resident of Cambridge for 44 odd years and when I have travelled, and been asked where I come from, I have proudly said “I am a New Zealander from Cambridge, the town of trees. Now it appears that someone on the council has had a brain explosion and decided to change the name to “The Dust Bowl Cambridge” supposedly because someone said this 161 years ago.

It would be nice to know who approved this so that I can reflect it in my voting for local council next time. So next time I travel, and when asked where I’m from I will now answer “ I’m an Aotearoan from The Dust Bowl Cambridge. Sad but true and all without referendum.

Aucklanders eye Waipā move

A quarter of the recent house sales in Cambridge have been to Aucklanders and the manager of a local real estate agency is one of them.

Matt Gilray, 37, moved south saying he wanted a more relaxed and family-friendly lifestyle.

“In Auckland, you don’t see kids out playing in the streets anymore, but as we drove through Cambridge, we saw that straight away,” he says. “I was also spending the equivalent of a whole workday sitting in

traffic each week.”

He secured a new job managing the Cambridge office of family-owned Waikato real estate business Lugtons. Eight years ago, the company serviced Cambridge with one staff member but now has a team of five agents and is looking to grow further.

“We’re locals too so we want to hold on to what makes Cambridge such a great community rather than chasing high turnover and quick-churn sales,” says agent Tony Mills, who has sold property in

Cambridge for 18 years.

“But I don’t think we’ve ever seen listings as tight as they are this year.”

He points to Aucklanders anticipating the completion of the Southern Interchange of the Waikato Expressway, which will reduce the commute time from Cambridge to around an hour and a quarter.

Together with more options to work from home because of Covid, Cambridge has become a realistic option for those who felt stuck in the city.

“I’m seeing a lot of Auckland families with kids where one parent plans to combine a new flexibility to work from home with a commute back into the CBD one or twice a week,” agrees agent Aimee Belton.

The company says Cambridge appeals to out-of-towners for its small-town feel.

“Cambridge offers out of towners a lifestyle change where they feel safe, secure and more connected to the community,” says Lugtons general manager, Clinton Hardy.

“We have also noticed a substantial increase in requests from our Hamiltonbased sales team who have Hamilton clients now wanting to purchase in Cambridge. It’s more important than ever to have a good strategy in place for selling in this market.”

The company notes regional employment opportunities are also having an impact on demand.

“It used to be that most Aucklanders moving here were empty nesters but now with light industry developing in Hautapu, the inland port plans at Ruakura, we’re also seeing younger Aucklanders who have new jobs nearby to pay the mortgage,” says Mills.

FROM BAKERY TO GALLERY When Sandra Webb was a child shiny-eyed at the cakes at Collins Bakery she never envisaged the day when her own shop Heritage Gallery would be part of the small colourful complex.

But there she is with tales to tell of the cakes, the breads and “digging my fingers into Collins’ frozen mock cream”.

Our photo shows the Collins building as it was in the sixties. Mary and Terry Collins built the building, aptly named Collins Building, and this was to house a flow of businesses which so many older Cambridge residents will remember. On the corner was The Shell Service Station owned by the Brown Family, brothers Alf and Eddie.

But first we look at Collins Bakery. Standing alone beside the new Collins building, the Collins team were loved by everyone.

Julie Redder says she remembers when she was young, that the Shell Service Station owned by her family went to the edge of where the Collins building begins. And there was a small shop window with access

FEATURE

Backchat through the garage. Julie’s mother had a small dressmaking shop there before Julie was born.

Before that Gardner and Sons were general merchants who had a large shop in the 1900s where Z Service station now stands.

The dressmaking shop became a small cake shop that “Doll” Wallace ran, later the shop reverted back to a store room with a very large clock in the window. Doll was the wife of Ces Wallace who worked in the garage and they were the parents-in-law of Dame Augusta Wallace who married their son Neville. Ces Wallace was a very well-known Rugby referee,” says Julie.

So many people will remember that there was always a takeaway shop in the Collins’ Building complex ‘ La Paloma was a favourite, just where Heritage Gallery is now. This was owned by Hank Smit and was started in the 1960s. Julie’s husband Erich Redder worked there and eventually became the owner in the early 1970’s. It was later turned into a café named Nonstop Café - this was in an era when cafés and eating became a passion - which is a huge part of our lives today.

called George Drewitt who ran it as a high fashion design shop….really posh!!” says Julie.

Bert and Stephanie Van Oosten introduced arts and crafts to the block and Harry Shields had a paint shop on the corner.

According to Julie the Lyons Butcher Shop was between La Paloma and Shields Colour shop. Upstairs was Doug Lockes Billiard Salon and this later turned into Traceys Sewing Factory then Moroney’s Bloodstock office. The butchers shop bought out Shields Colour Centre who moved down the street to where The Colour Shop is now. At some stage Bendon was there too.

Kathryn Parsons Museum manager

“Erich and I eventually took over the butchery and moved the takeaway to the corner end and Tui and Barry Carter had the Cambridge Antiques next door, where Alys Antiques, now owned by Jutta Mark, stands,” says Julie Redder.

In the right of way between Collins Bakery and that area was Jack Walls’ glass shop.

This eventually moved to its present situation in Commerce Street, and Lance Murchison took over with a fancy food distribution outlet and Ron Wright from Wright Signs moved in. It is all now a Thai Restaurant.

Sandra Webb points out that Ray Webb was part of the team who built the present building and she started her Heritage Gallery 25 years ago in the shop next door to her present premises, a smaller shop which was a print shop. In 2002 she moved into the larger shop.

We thank Julie Redder for her assistance in this and welcome anyone who has further memories for the staff at The Cambridge Museum.

Lion King has an original beat

By Matteo Di Maio

The Lion King JR musical production had always been on St Peter’s Catholic School’s radar.

Ever since they performed “Noah the musical” back in 2017, that is - it left the school with animal costumes galore.

This year, fate intervened.

Yaw Asumadu, husband of the school’s new principal Anita Asumadu, is a master Djembe drummer — who worked on the original soundtrack to the Disney film.

It was partly this combination of factors that led Cushla Hounsell and Jacinta O’Connell—producer and director respectively—to pick the famous Disney production for this year’s school musical, which finishes tonight (Thursday July 8) at St Peter’s School Auditorium.

“We just felt that this year was the right year for it,” Hounsell said.

The Lion King JR brings Simba and Rafiki and the rest of the film’s cast to the stage— travelling from pride rock to the jungle—in the classic coming-of-age tale.

Part of the appeal of the Lion King is its vibrant musicality, with students learning traditional African “Djembe” drumming from Yaw Asumadu.

“It’s a call and response,” explained Hounsell. “The

FAITH IN WAIPĀ

Care to make a difference?

School parents did an “amazing” job of working on the costumes for the show.

drum announces the birth of the baby lion, and the others rejoice.”

One of the key features of St Peter’s Catholic School’s musical productions is the involvement of every child from a cohort of around 180 students, years 1 up to 8.

“Every child…is on stage pretty much the whole time,” Hounsell explained. “It’s a very very old tradition here.”

And it‘s a tradition the school plans to continue.

“It absolutely adds special

character,” Hounsell said.

“Because you get the buy-in from the kids— if it was only the seniors, I don’t think we’d get the same excitement from the whole school.”

According to O’Connell, the lead cast of year 7 and 8s has been practising from “day one this term.”

Both O’Connell and Hounsell paid tribute to the school’s parents for their “absolutely amazing” work making costumes and building sets.

This headline could either be read as a statement of intent - or as a question.

We need to ‘care’ and have a heart for others if we are going to be instrumental in being able to assist, to encourage and build them up, or lighten their load.

Our culture is trained to approach life on a very individualistic basis. Looking after ‘Number One’ (ourselves) first and foremost is a natural default position for most of us.

Getting ahead, advancing our own interests isn’t bad in itself, but when all we see is our own little world, failing to see the cares and concerns of others around us, we’ve missed the point. Sadly that ‘shrunken’ worldview is common and becoming wrapped up in ourselves only results in us becoming very small packages.

The illustration of holding up a dollar coin to the sun is appropriate… The massive proportions of the sun by volume could accommodate over one million ‘earths’ inside it; yet a little dollar coin held up to the sun, then slowly drawn closer to your eye, will soon block the sun from your vision. That’s what happens when we are absorbed with ourselves… we soon lose sight of the bigger picture of other people, their struggles, hurts and often their unspoken cry for help and need of intervention.

Mother Teresa became famous for her care in serving the poor and destitute, the orphaned and deprived of Calcutta. Born in 1910 in Macedonia, Mother Teresa felt called at a young age to help those who nobody else was prepared to look after.

At the age of 18, she joined some nuns in Ireland to train. Upon taking her vows she shared her vision of helping the poor and

downtrodden.

Upon asking her young charge what resources she had to work with, the mother superior was unimpressed. Hearing that she only had three pennies, Mother Teresa was told that three pennies financed nothing, much less an orphanage.

Unfazed, Mother Teresa replied, “With God and three pennies, I can do anything.”

Arriving in India, Mother Teresa began working as a teacher; however, the widespread poverty of Calcutta carved a deep impression, leading her to start a new order with the primary objective of looking after the poorest of Calcutta. Mother Teresa often spent time with the dying and established homes which allowed people to die with dignity.

Mother Teresa’s life message challenges us all.

So do her words, “Not all can do great things. But all can do small things with great love.”

Many people in this town demonstrate love and care in small ways, making a positive difference in other’s lives. Often unheralded, in diverse ways, it happens.

Tikanga takes its place in business

Learning about tikanga, the protocols and practices of the Māori world, is increasingly important for businesses, Te Wānanga o Aotearoa kaiako Tiriana Anderson says.

He tutors TWoA’s Te Whāinga o Te Ao Tikanga Level 3 Certificate programme at the Apakura campus in Te Awamutu.

“Understanding te ao Māori, our world, and knowing how to act within it are skills modern Kiwi business people need to

know to operate most effectively,” says Tiriana.

“Māori rituals and tikanga are an increasingly common ‘shared space’ between all New Zealand cultures and learning about tikanga helps businesses inhabit that space authentically.”

The 25-year-old has strong whakapapa links to Waikato iwi, affiliating with Ngāti Maniapoto, Ngāti Rārua and Waikato on his mother’s side, and to Ngāti Rereahu, Ngāti Hikairo and Ngāti Maniapoto again on his

father’s.

He has a passion for teaching and inspiring pūrākau (stories), kōrero tuku iho (ancestral knowledge), whakapapa and te ao Māori generally.

“On our course, we look at the many aho or strands that are woven together to make up the fabric of te ao Māori.

“People come to know and understand some of the Māori cultural practices, and can navigate them with confidence.”

These include formal

Waikato designs to the fore A Cambridge kitchen and river house in Tamahere have starred in the National Kitchen and Bathroom Awards.

Two Waikato designers receiving awards for their “impressive” and “innovative” design projects at a function in Wellington on Saturday.

The two award winning Waikato designers were Brooke Cholmondeley-Smith of Tawa Architecture and Mark Bruce of Designmarked Kitchens.

Cholmondeley-Smith won the ‘Spatial Innovation Design Award – Residential’ for his project ‘The River House’. ‘The River House’, is a multi-functional retreatoffice with an aesthetic that draws from a traditional Officer’s Mess due to the military background of the owner.

Judges of the NKBA awards said the project was an impressive and beautifully

detailed addition to the home.

Mark Bruce of Designmarked Kitchens won the 2021 Waikato Chapter Recognition Kitchen Award. He won the award for his work on an innovative kitchen and scullery for a family who wanted to enjoy the views from their home while also having enough space for family time.

Bruce removed the scullery dividing wall and designed cabinetry that held a sliding splash back - the scullery and kitchen could then be separate if required. To make both the rooms work, a fridge located between was required.

The homeowners also liked the idea of accessing the BBQ area from the scullery.

To achieve this, a hinged glazed door from scullery to BBQ was installed. In addition to providing access, the door also flooded the room with natural light.

powhiri, tangihanga (funerals), whakatau (general welcomes) and karakia.

Tiriana says tikanga also helps businesses establish a model or basis for relationships in the workplace, and with clients and stakeholders, particulary Māori.

“Tikanga allows people to define and describe for themselves what their purpose is. It’s like a road map of what teamwork looks like and how effective relationships can work in any context, and to develop relationships through a principled approach.

“In the business scene relationships are some of the most important things and tikanga provides the tools to work out where these relationships fit in. It’s a bit like a Swot (Strength, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis. We encourage businesses to consider sending members to our tikanga courses to help them develop effective relationships skills, in their own worlds and particularly if they engage with te ao Māori.”

On the rituals of te ao Māori – such as pōwhiri and karakia – becoming an increasingly shared common

space for Kiwis, Tiriana feels this space is boosting mutual understanding around reciprocity (mutual obligations to each other).

“For example, in class we teach about the aspect of aroha (love) involved in recognising that we sometimes need to change and adjust the way we do things to end the distress of others or to help them be their best.”

For Māori, the course offers a chance to connect in detail with te ao Māori and the history of tangata whenua, while for nonMāori it provides a foundational understanding of that world and helps people to confidently engage with it.

“For non-Māori, I have a saying, that in order for you to understand te ao Māori you need to see yourself in it. This course will help you find your place there.”

The mana of people, the land, te reo Māori and the natural world are all key “pou” or pillars supporting what’s taught on the course.

“These are the four key pou of tikanga. They encompass the complexity and entirety of tikanga Māori,” says Tiriana.

He sees clear benefits for everyone of having more

Tiriana Anderson says tikanga helps businesses establish a basis for relationships.

people – Māori, Pākehā and other ethnicities – understanding and incorporating authentic tikanga Māori into their lives.

“It helps them understand their place individually and shows them the Māori world is not only just for Māori.

This is everyone’s world.

“It’s also about feeling more at home in Aotearoa, feeling more at home within yourself.

Tikanga takes people on a journey of reflection, and development. You can find a spiritual awareness and confidence you never knew you had, enhanced by an understanding you never thought existed.”

Eyes down for van fundraising

By Matteo Di Maio

Broad smiles, shouts of “bingo!” and only a few light-hearted accusations of board rigging characterised last Thursday’s Cambridge High School-led bingo night at Resthaven.

CHS’ Extension 4 class of year 13s saw the night as a way to kick off their two-month-long fundraising campaign to raise $70,000 to purchase a mobility van for resthome residents.

According to Blair Ludlam, head teacher of the Extension 4 class, however,

Thursday was “more about building a relationship between the kids and the residents than fundraising.”

The night came about when Extension 4 student Keela Jones reached out to Dawn Mienie, Resthaven’s de facto resident “activities coordinator.”

Mienie said the joint resignation of members of the Resthaven social committee last year had led to a dearth of such events.

She stepped in to ensure events keep coming, and says a new residents social committee is on the horizon.

Mienie and Ludlam both agreed it would be a good idea to have school input to the new committee.

The night of bingo playing was accompanied by performances from the school band, with Paulo Baldo—one of two co-leaders of the student fundraising campaign— opening the performance with Frank Sinatra’s Fly Me To The Moon.

“I’m just buzzing — seeing all the joy, all the smiles,” he said on the night.

Mienie said there was something very special about having high school students at the resthome.

“We’re prone to developing our own little bubbles here. It’s brilliant to have some young people come in and expand that.”

Ludlam agreed. “There’s a bit of a misconception around Cambridge and the grapevine for example: ‘oh, bloody teenagers!’ So having really good kids come over and break that misconception is important.”

There was learning on both sides of the age equation.

Likewise, Mienie said, “us oldies can laugh at dirty jokes, and have fun – so it’s great to see the teens seeing that.”

Glimmer Cup is Cambridge’s cup St Peter’s School, Cambridge won the Waikato Secondary School girls hockey trophy last week beating Hamilton Girls High School 2-1 in Hamilton.

It was the first time in the 36-year history of the competition that St Peter’s has won.

Manager Tracy Butler-Holdaway said game was “none other than spectacular”.

“STP went into it as the underdogs, HGHS having taken the title for the last four years,” she said.

The school title – and the Glimmer Cup – had been won by either HGHS or Waikato Diocesan since 1997, and never by a Cambridge team.

The game started with great intensity and speed and HGHS scored off a penalty corner inside five minutes.

STP dug deep and scored an outstanding field goal through Arabella Barrio-Frojan, and it remained 1-1 until the last five minutes.

Barrio-Frojan clinched the match with her second goal late on thanks to some excellent team play.

“This result reflects the hard work and dedication the entire team has put into the season so far,” Butler-Holdaway

said. “The win meant so much to the team who had hoped to make the top three this year.

Meanwhile St Peter’s continued on its winning way in the Central North Island First XV rugby championships with a 22-12 away win over Lindisfarne College.

The final round robin match before the semi-finals will be on Saturday July 31 at St Peter’s against St John’s Hastings.

The unbeaten St Peter’s side will go in as favourites against the lowly-placed Hawke’s Bay team to cement a home semi-final the following week.

Young Reds on a winning streak

Cambridge’s Reds are one win away from delivering their longest winning run in more than a decade of top level regional football.

They play Hibiscus Coast on Saturday in the Lotto NRFL second division and victory will extend their winning streak to four games, a notable feat in a competition known for close results especially this season.

Cambridge – who are now fourth on the league table – host a double header against the Aucklanders with their U-23 sides playing at 12.30pm, followed by the first teams at 3pm.

Whatever the outcome, Reds supporters might expect another nervejangling display after the side came out best in a 3-2 win at Greenhithe Catimba last weekend.

Again, Cambridge gave supporters a scare when Catimba fought back from a 3-0 half-time deficit to almost scrape a late draw.

The Reds had taken the

lead through Aston Hurd after 12 minutes before strike partner Josh Clarkin added a goal in the 26th minute and then converted a penalty as half-time approached.

Greenhithe mounted a fightback with Abdurahman Loukili pulling back a goal in the 71st minute. Patrick Waller made it 3-2 with six minutes left on the clock, forcing Cambridge to knuckle down and see off the challenge.

The Cambridge win was notable for the number of teenagers in the travelling squad.

These included goalscorer Hurd (17), substitutes Matthew Jordan (16) and Thomas Purves (19) while Kyran Lockwood (17) made his Reds debut after joining from Melville United ahead of the June 30 transfer deadline.

Earlier, the Cambridge U-23s claimed back-to-back wins with a 3-0 victory against Greenhithe.

Midfielder Tom O’Leary

opened the scoring in the 33rd minute, giving Cambridge a 1-0 half-time lead.

Cambridge doubled their lead on 52′ when Greenhithe’s Jack Waller turned the ball into his own goal.

The victory was clinched when player-coach Colin Coster brought himself on as a 72nd minute substitute, to score Cambridge’s third goal three minutes later.

In the WaiBOP Championship, Cambridge’s third team beat Tokoroa 2-1 to keep its two-point lead on the table.

Cambridge’s win was forged by a storming start in which midfielder Haydn Roil scored after five minutes and striker Adam Brady added a second in the 23rd minute.

Tokoroa clawed back a goal in the second half but the Cambridge defence, led

by Player of the Day Sam Garmonsway, held firm.

Cambridge’s push for

the championship title was helped by rivals Tauranga Old Blues dropping two points in a draw with Waikato Unicol, while nearest challengers Otumoetai kept up their threat with a 5-2 win at Hamilton Wanderers.

The side plays Whakatane Town at John Kerkhof Park on Saturday (2.45pm).

In Waikato men’s division 1, Cambridge drew 1-1 against Claudelands Rovers at home.

Cambridge took the lead after five minutes when leading scorer Peter Buesnell bagged his 15th club goal of the season, chipping over the ‘keeper from 25 metres.

However Rovers kept pushing and claimed an equaliser with only five minutes left.

In Waikato Division 4, Cambridge beat Putaruru Rangers 4-2 away, led by Player of the Day Andrew Myers who scored a hattrick and set up another goal for Kevin Grace.

Cambridge remain in a two-team race for the title with West Hamilton United.

In the men’s over-35s league, Cambridge’s Team 2 blew a 3-1 half-time lead to lose 4-3 to Northern United Old Boys.

Cambridge’s goals were scored by Tim Bailey, Kelly

Remkes and Luke Macris, all of whom found the net for the first time this season.

Their goals helped the club achieve a notable milestone with the men’s senior teams having scored 200 goals so far for the season.

In the WaiBOP Youth League, Cambridge U-15s beat Tauranga City 2-1 with goals from Lucah de Roo and a Cameron Smith penalty.

Cambridge women’s team had a bye last weekend.

Willie Brown 2, Hayden Ivil, 2, and Kade Ormsby scored the tries.

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.

they were able to dominate the contact areas and provided the continuity and front-foot ball their backline needed to excel. First five Coby Miln guided them around the field with not only his kicking game, but also his vision to see space to set hisr outstanding outside backs alight.

Fullback Kaea Hongara and wingers Mosese Dawai and Josh Gascoigne didn’t disappoint with all three of scoring spectacular tries.

APL Hautapu Sports is a team that has learnt how to win tight matches as it chases its third straight title and will need all of that experience to re-focus as it faces the tough semi-final challenge of traditional city rivals Marist at Memorial Park Cambridge this upcoming weekend.

Hautapu Sports Premier B Team The Hautapu Sports Premier B team closed off their season with a loss to front runners Fraser Tech. While there were long periods of play where

GAVIN LYNCH

Hautapu dominated, they were unable to convert into points, and their perennial problem of turning ball over and conceding long range tries was back again.

A sharp Fraser Tech backline took full advantage of this to run out winners by 58 – 5. Best for Hautapu were their front row of Marius and Van de Wall,

Mike Tomsett and Nick Simes who dominated scrummaging exchanges, and backs Mitch Petit and Cam Steele who was also rewarded with a callup to the Premier A team for the day.

Midfielder Ray Stowe came out of retirement to help the team and showed the skills that made him a lead player for the club for many years.

Hautapu Colts fought back superbly but lost their semi-final encounter with unbeaten Marist 27-21.

Marist raced out to a 14-0 lead and led 27-0 son after the break.

Just when it seemed the game had completely gone, back came Hautapu with the spirit and tenacity that has been a hallmark of this young team all season. They ripped into Marist in the last half hour, completely turning the game on its head with three converted tries to close to 27-21.

Hautapu won the Haswell Catley trophy for the third season in a row with a thrilling 34-20 over previously unbeaten Fraser Tech – to set up a home semi-final on Saturday against Hamilton Marist.

The much anticipated clash between the two front runners in Waikato Premier A did not disappoint with APL Hautapu Sports and Fraser Tech delivering a classic high quality match in sunny conditions on a perfect pitch at Memorial Park on Saturday.

Taking into account the strength of the opposition this was Hautapu’s best performance of the season which couldn’t have come at a better time, with semifinals looming.

Hautapu made its intentions clear from the outset with a powerful scrummaging effort by the front row of Nico Aandewiel, Nic Jeffcoat, and Tahere Reha dominating their opposition in the early set piece exchanges to set the scene.

Fraser Tech are a quality side, with a combative forward pack, and a backline littered with representative players, so it was not surprising the halftime lead was just three points - of 15-12 – and with midway through the second half was 20-20.

It was then that Hautapu showed the form which has won them the Waikato title for the last two seasons as they kicked into another gear which the visitors couldn’t live with.

Makzabeel a potential Cups horse

Innes heads north to ride quality book

Leith Innes is looking forward to heading north to Ruakaka on Saturday where he will have a handful of quality rides, including a couple of debutants.

He will don the yellow and black chequered silks of Cambridge Stud Principals Brendan and Jo Lindsay aboard Tavirock in the 17 July ITM/GIB Whangarei Gold Cup (1200m) for trainers Graeme and Debbie Rogerson.

The three-year-old colt has pleased in his recent trials, winning his 800m heat a fortnight ago at Avondale, and Innes believes he will show a good account of himself on debut.

“He is a really nice colt,” Innes said. “I wasn’t on him when he won his last trial at Avondale on a wet track, but talking with Graeme Rogerson yesterday, he is very happy with him.

“It is quite a strong maiden field first-up, but he is going well.”

Innes will also hop aboard fellow debutant Roconono in the 21 August Cambridge Stud Northland Breeders’ Stakes (1100m) for trainer Tony Pike.

“I rode him a couple of weeks ago at Cambridge and it was the first time I sat on the horse, but he gave me a really good feel,” Innes said.

“He has got really good gate

Progressive four-year-old Makzabeel is putting together a nice record and was a dominant winner of the Northbeam Timber Beams and Posts Rating 74 (2100m) at Ruakaka on Saturday, making it back-to-back victories at the northern venue.

The son of Makfi has now won four of his 10 starts, with a further three placings and trainer Tony Pike is giving plenty of thought as to how he best places the improving stayer, who is raced by Auckland lawyer Bruce Dell.

“I just had a good talk to Bruce Dell, and he was quite keen on the idea of taking him to Sydney for a couple of runs while he was going through the grades, but he is not probably the most correct horse in the world, so we will probably take him through the grades here and see what level he gets to,” Pike said.

“He is entered for the Winter Cup (Gr.3, 1600m) and that would mean dropping back in distance, but that could be an option if the track doesn’t end up too bad down at Riccarton.

“The more likely option is he will work through his grades and we look at a Cup option before the tracks become too firm through the summer.”

Despite having won his past couple of starts at Ruakaka, Pike wasn’t hellbent on keeping to the Whangarei circuit which will host a series of racemeetings through the winter, believing that multiple trips north can be taxing on horses.

“We will see how he pulls up through the week before working out a plan, but if he doesn’t go down to Christchurch for the Winter Cup then he is likely to head to another Rating 74 staying race before hitting open company and possibly looking at something better in the spring,” Pike said.

“He is lightly raced and we have given him plenty of time.

He still does a bit wrong but is building a nice record. If everything goes to plan, there is no reason why he couldn’t be up to Cups class off a light-weight in the spring.” – NZ Racing Desk

speed, so I am really looking forward to riding him.

“He is a really neat little horse and I think he will go well.”

The Auckland hoop will also partner Scared Command in the White Cliffs Timber (1200m), Mach Schnell in the Dunstan Accumulator (1600m), and Makzabeel in the Northbeam Timber Beams And Posts (2100m).

“Sacred Command trialled up quite nicely the other day at Cambridge. 1200m may be a little short for him, but he is going well,” Innes said.

“Mach Schnell was only just beaten on the post last start. The field is probably a little stronger on Saturday, but he has got the ace gate, which is really going to help him.”

With the new season fast approaching, Innes is looking forward to a few promising

he said.

“Tony Pike has got some really nice rising threeyear-olds, and Cambridge Stud have a few horses that are unraced, so something should poke its head up hopefully.” – NZ Racing Desk

Coconut cool

Venetian explorer and writer Marco Polo is considered to be the first westerner to pay any attention to the coconut. ‘One of these nuts,’ he wrote, ‘is a meal for a man, both meat and drink’. In the tropics, the backyard coconut palm takes the place of the family cow. Coconut cream and milk play an even more important part in tropical menus than cows’ milk in our cuisine.

The thin, refreshing clear liquid which pours from a young coconut when it is opened is not coconut cream or milk. It is coconut water which these days now preserved in tetrapaks and bottles as a health drink. Coconut cream and milk are prepared by squeezing grated coconut flesh with a little water until a thick liquid is produced. This, when left in the refrigerator overnight, will form a thick layer and a thin layer — cream and milk.

Although it is considered an alternative milk for people with lactose intolerance or those following vegan or paleo diets, the calorie contents of coconut and dairy milks differ hugely.

There are about 750 kilojoules in 100 mls of coconut milk and 265 in 100 mls of blue milk. Choose lower fat coconut milk, if available

Next day, scoop the solid coconut cream into a bowl. Add the icing sugar and vanilla essence. Beat until whipped.

TAMARIND & COCONUT FISH So easy, so delish.

250g skinned and boned white fish fillets 3 tablespoons lime or lemon juice 1 tablespoon canola oil 1 shallot, diced 1 clove garlic, crushed 1 teaspoon sriracha sauce 2 teaspoons tamarind paste 3/4 cup coconut cream flour for dusting 1/4 cup chopped coriander Place the fish in a shallow dish and add the lime or lemon juice. Turn the fish over then leave for 5 minutes.

Heat a little oil in a frying pan. Gently fry the shallot until tender. Add the garlic, sriracha sauce, tamarind paste and coconut cream. Bring to a simmer, then cook gently for 2 minutes. Add a little water if too thick.

Meanwhile, pat the fish dry and dust in the flour. Heat the remaining oil in a separate frying pan. Pan-fry the fish for about 1 minute each side until lightly coloured. Transfer the fish to the coconut sauce and add the coriander. Great served with rice. Serves 2.
