This week the council has announced that they will be consulting with residents on shared water meters about a proposed remission scheme, where if they are disadvantaged by sharing a water meter (for example the single person living next to a family of seven with a love of water blasting) they can apply for a remission. The proposal is that this remission would

ratepayers of sorting out the situation is massive – with an estimated $5,720,000 needed to get each dwelling on a shared meter connected up to the road. I’ve heard people say, “the council should just pay for it”, but I would like to point out that it will be ratepayers who pay for it, because that’s where council gets their money from. It’s a tricky one and I

hope it gets resolved quickly, because I know it’s been causing considerable stress to some. Also, Plastic Free July is upon us, and it feels as though we are all awakening from a plastic bender to find that we have trashed our hotel room. We’re in a mess with this stuff, and now that China has stopped taking our plastic we can’t pretend that it’s under control. It might seem

like an overwhelming problem, but even by making a few different choices we can all make a difference. Because we’ve got to do something.

A nasty exchange on Saturday morning has left a local woman reeling, after she was subjected to a racial slur. Marama*, a Māori woman who has lived in Cambridge for the past four years, was shocked and deeply upset after being called a “black b****” by an elderly woman on Duke St. Marama had been waving to the woman to cross Duke St before she pulled out of her carpark in front of Kiwibank, allowing her to cross the busy stretch of road. The woman took offence, and proceeded to use the racial slur against

An altercation ensued, during which Marama admits she verbally unleashed on the woman, calling her “every name under the sun” and giving her the finger. “I got tooted at by the car behind me, which was fair enough,” Marama said, adding that she may have looked like the aggressor. Afterwards, Marama went to the police station to report the incident, but it was closed so she drove home and sat in her driveway in tears. “I felt violated and not part of this community,” a shaken Marama explained. *Marama’s name has been changed, for obvious reasons.

Say ‘adios’ to plastic in July By Claire Castle

Marama, adding that at least she can wake up each morning and be proud to be white. The woman told Marama that she had been born in Cambridge and lived here for her whole life, and that Marama should ‘go back to where she came from’. Which is ironic, given that Marama is of Tainui descent. “It’s just appalling to know that we’ve got these people here in Cambridge,” Marama said. Describing the woman as aged between 65 and 75, Marama said she appeared to have her faculties about her and was wellgroomed.

Plastic Free July is almost upon us – the chance to take stock of our plastic addiction, which is fouling up the planet. Waipa District Council waste minimisation officer Sally Fraser said Plastic Free July is a good chance for people to think about how they are using plastic and look at making changes, but it doesn’t have to be painful. It’s about choosing the easy wins, such as using reusable shopping bags instead of plastic bags, using a reusable coffee cup instead of a disposable one, taking a refillable water bottle instead of buying a plastic bottle, and swapping plastic straws for reusable

metal ones. Rather than getting overwhelmed by the problem, she said, we just need to look at easy substitutions that cut down on our plastic use. It’s a global issue, but the solution lies at an individual level.

FRIDAY JUNE 29, 2018

Relief in sight for shared meters Waipa District Council is considering capping water bills for up to 140 households on cross-leased properties, disadvantaged by sharing a water meter. Last November the Council decided properties with shared water meters, most of them older, cross-lease properties, would have their bill split equally between those connected to the meter. At the time, elected members were assured most property owners with shared meters would be financially better off. That advice has proven correct. Of 1,100 or so complex properties impacted by the November decision, 86 per cent pay less now for water services than when a flat rate of $405.60 per property was charged. But

around 140 residential properties are financially disadvantaged by split bills, possibly through no fault of their own. On Tuesday, council agreed to consult property owners who share a meter on a proposed water remission policy aimed at those 140 properties. If it goes ahead, those properties could apply for a remission and if they meet the criteria, have their water meter bill set at $372 for the coming year. Mayor Jim Mylchreest said, given the evidence, there was no reason the council could not act on a remission now so it could be in place for the 2018/2019 financial year. After then, the whole decision around split bills, including possible remissions, would be reviewed. All property owners with shared

meters will be sent information in early July and asked for feedback. A decision on possible water remissions will be made in August. At Tuesday’s meeting, Council also discussed lending property owners money to pay for any changes required to private plumbing so water meters could be separated. Already about 60 properties which had a shared meter, have split their plumbing. Property owners must pay the private plumbing cost with Council installing and paying for a new meter at the road boundary. Council discussed lending up to a maxium of $5,000 to be paid back via a fixed, targeted rate. Informal feedback Mayor Jim Mylchreest said there’s no reason will also be sought on this proposal council could not have a remission in place during this financial year. during July.

Water spat turns nasty By Claire Castle

A shared water meter has caused friction on Burns St, with a confrontation between neighbours over a water leak boiling over and resulting in a police call out. At issue, two of the 10 properties sharing the same meter have hot water coming out of their overflow pipe and running onto the roof – a situation the women’s neighbours said has been happening for some time. And one neighbour, Rachel Jukes, is totally fed up with the situation. “I’m refusing to pay any water bills until that leak is sorted,” she said, “I think it’s completely wrong that we should have to pay for it”. Rachel has talked to both of the neighbours concerned, who apparently weren’t interested in fixing the leak despite the fact it must be having a massive impact on their power bill. Another neighbour, Phillip Hose, said the shared water meter situation has turned nasty in their cul de sac, with neighbours making “snarky” comments at each other over their water use since the

single meter was installed at the road. “I feel like a criminal for waterblasting my house or watering the garden,” Phillip said. Council wrote to both property owners last month, however it has had no reply. Following legal advice, council has issued both properties with a Notice to Fix served this week, with repairs required to be carried out by July 20. A council spokesperson said: “If the leaks are not fixed by that time, the council will consider next steps. Legally, the council could apply for a search warrant to enter the premises and undertake the work. Staff or contractors would need to be accompanied by police and this is not something council would be keen on. However, the leaks must be fixed and if they are not, Council will look to take further enforcement action through the courts.” According to the Waipa District Water Supply Bylaw of 2013, customers have a responsibility for maintenance and must not allow water to run to waste from their property, or allow leaks to continue unchecked or unrepaired.

Why does each property on a shared water meter have to pay the network charge, even if they’re on a shared meter? The network charge is charged per SUIP – Separately Used Inhabited Property – not per meter. Each household is expected to contribute to the cost of the water infrastructure. In the old days, it was sometimes called a ‘pan charge’, as in a toilet pan. Just in case you were wondering about that.

Ten houses off one meter, and it’s not going too well.

$150K a drop in the bucket By Claire Castle

Waipa District Council has pledged $150,000 to a war memorial museum in Le Quesnoy, France, our part of the $15M organisers need to make it a reality. The Right Honourable Sir Don McKinnon, chair of the New Zealand War Memorial Trust – Le Quesnoy, said the project is one of national significance and will be New Zealand’s first permanent war memorial museum on the Western Front. “In order to realise this vision and successfully complete this project, we will be calling on financial support from any New Zealander who has a connection or interest in WW1 or 2, including every local authority across New Zealand,” he said.

So far, both the Hauraki and the Thames-Coromandel District Councils have refused the request for funding the facility in France, which has already raised just under $3M in pledges in New Zealand. For their part, Sir Don said the French government has effectively subsidised the purchase by offering the land and buildings for to the trust for 50 per cent of the market valuation. “This was the turning point in a financial sense for the project to materialise,” he explained. There is no deadline for the fundraising, either, so if it is not reached then the project will just take longer to complete. “We will be working in stages, dependant on how much money has been raised,” Sir Don said. While central government

is supportive of the plans – with the Ministries of Culture and Heritage, Foreign Affairs, Defence, along with Treasury and the IRD in discussions around rebates on donations – they are not opening their chequebook to fund the museum. “We’ve no plan at this stage to ask central government for direct financial support,” Sir Don said. Waipa’s $150,000 contribution to the museum Le Quesnoy, Cambridge’s sister city in France, was not included in the public consultation of council’s 10-Year Plan document, which finished in late April. Council said the funding will be contingent upon fundraising targets being met and the project being confirmed and approved by French authorities.

Sir Don McKinnon said the museum at Le Quesnoy in France is definitely going ahead, with a $150,000 contribution from Waipa ratepayers helping to fund it.

the Waikato Regional Land Transport Plan does contain an implementation measure allowing for a regional or sub-regional fuel tax. The Waipa District Council has not discussed introducing a regional fuel tax and did not make any submission to the select committee, however the Hamilton City Council (HCC) was on last week’s reported list of councils considering a fuel tax. Presenting to the Select Committee for the Land Transport Management (Regional Fuel Tax) Amendment Bill last month, the HCC said that a fuel tax would allow for improvements to safety on the city’s transport network and a reduction in traffic congestion earlier than would otherwise be possible. The submission was delivered by Councillor Dave Macpherson, Chair of the Council’s Growth and Infrastructure Committee, and by Blair Bowcott, the Council’s Executive Director Special Projects. Mr Bowcott said Hamilton’s presentation was well received. “We are supportive of the Bill and are seeking an amendment to allow a fuel tax

on a sub-regional basis, such as Waikato District and Hamilton City Councils,” Mr Bowcott said. Hamilton residents will not have to worry about a ‘double-whammy’ tax hit, however. The WRC spokesperson said: “Waikato Regional Council is aware that Hamilton City Council is seeking a regional fuel tax for its geographical area. There would only be one fuel tax scheme at any time in Hamilton”.

The Bill has allowed for councils to impose a regional fuel tax, with Auckland City Council imposing a 10 cent per litre tax (taking it to 11.5 cents when GST is added) on petrol sold in Auckland from July 1 for the next 10 years. The funds raised will help to fund the Auckland Transport Alignment Project – a $28 billion upgrade of the city’s transport infrastructure, to be undertaken over the coming decade. The Bill allows other councils to introduce a regional fuel tax from 2021.

No petrol tax, for now By Claire Castle Despite reports last week that the Waikato Regional Council (WRC) are considering imposing a fuel tax, the WRC has denied the tax is on the table. “Waikato Regional Council is not considering implementing a fuel tax,” a regional council spokesperson said, going on to say that it did however support recent provisions in legislation to allow them to in the future. If they did, Cambridge could be included, as the town falls under their jurisdiction. “The Waikato Regional Transport Committee – which comprises regional councillors, representatives of the region’s local councils, the NZ Transport Agency and NZ Police – submitted on the Land Transport Management (Regional Fuel Tax) Amendment Bill supporting provisions within the Bill that allow all regional councils to levy a fuel tax from 2021,” the spokesperson said. “Neither the Regional Transport Committee, nor Waikato Regional Council, have discussed implementing this provision in 2021 when the Bill allows this to happen,” they added, but a provision in

The New Zealand Cycle Classic’s recently announced move to Waipa has sparked a new week-long community cycling event, with naming rights announced on Wednesday. The Three Peaks Ride: New Zealand’s Cycling Festival will run alongside the NZ Cycle Classic from 23 January to 27 January 2019 and will provide a unique opportunity to captivate interest from across New Zealand and overseas, capturing all forms of cycling across all ages and stages. Among the many events planned for the week is the return of a mass participation cycling event to Cambridge. The Hobbiton Gran Fondo will take place on Saturday, January 26, and will be similar in format to the popular Rev – last run in 2016.

WDC makes final Waipa District Council’s efforts to highlight the district’s heritage, including its role in the New Zealand Land Wars, has already created waves in Wellington. Waipa’s communication and engagement team has been named a finalist in the Local Government New Zealand (LGNZ) Excellence Awards which acknowledge leadership efforts nationwide. It’s the second time the Waipa team is up for national accolades. In 2015, Waipa won the top award for community impact for its success in engaging the community on its 10-Year Plan. This year, award judges praised Waipa’s efforts to generate a community conversation about the district’s heritage, including what sort of investment Council should make in protecting, enhancing and promoting Waipa’s history. For its heritage efforts, Waipa is up against six other finalists in the Fulton Hogan Excellence Award for Community Engagement. Waipa also shares in a second award entry, also named an LGNZ finalist. The RATA project, initiated by the Waikato Mayoral Forum, is a collaboration between nine Waikato councils to improve strategic planning for the region’s roads. Judges noted the RATA project has led to increased efficiencies and more effective regional service delivery.

Progress of the Hamilton section of the Waikato Expressway is continuing smoothly, as visible to those commuting to Hamilton each day. There are still some earthworks to complete on the Tamahere and Matangi sections, but pavement works are due to begin shortly. The entire 22km Hamilton project is about half way completed, due to be finished in 2020. One of the busiest sites on the project is the southern gullies between SH1 and Matangi Rd, where slope stabilisation work is under way. Construction teams have completed soil nailing on the gully banks and are driving new foundations for the two bridges over the Mangaone and Mangaharakeke Gullies. Bored piling has started at the Mangaonua Gully bridge, just south of Morrinsville Rd. This 150m steel-beamed bridge will be the only one of its kind on the project and it will also be the longest.

FRIDAY JUNE 29, 2018

Roger Gordon’s take on four years at i-Site By Viv Posselt Cambridge I-SITE chief executive Roger Gordon sees his departure this week as a timely turning point for the organisation. Reflecting on his time at the helm, he said: “Those were a challenging four years. When I started in 2014, it was at a time when there was much concern around how Cambridge would fare once the expressway opened. “But I’m satisfied now that our objectives in terms of repositioning Cambridge have been achieved. However, we need to look at how we take it to the next stage – that is becoming a better-known destination for international tourists. Our visitor base is mostly domestic, and our three main venues – Mystery Creek, the Avantidrome and Karapiro’s Don Rowlands Centre – are well established. Now, we must focus on bringing even more internationals here.” His successor is Michelle Macdiarmid, a Cambridge marketing specialist who will take on the role of chief executive on July 2. Roger is confident that she is the right person for the job – digitally and social-media savvy, with all the credentials someone of

her generation brings. “That’s where the target market is now. That’s the platform. Michelle will be far more skilled that I am in those areas – she will be able to deliver what is now needed for Cambridge.” Several key developments defined Roger’s term in office. Probably the most obvious one was finding a way to allay fears around how the Cambridge section of the Waikato Expressway might sound the death knell for local businesses. “But the anecdotal evidence we have suggests that traffic in the town is now back to what it used to be before the expressway went in. It hasn’t affected us negatively at all – if anything, the opposite is true.” He brought in a comprehensive Visitor Guide in mid-2016, promoting around 23 varying visitor options, and more recently introduced a fleet of 14 bicycles for hire – both of which have proved immensely popular. He built up volunteer numbers and helped bed in the successful Christmas Parade. Roger was also behind branding Cambridge with it’s big “C” in marketing campaigns. “That was something that generated something of a community backlash at the time. We were

looking for distinctive brand that suggested activity and choice to those outside the area.” The “C” brand was intended to encourage people to “explore, connect, discover and indulge” the area. It was eventually adopted across several marketing platforms and has since drawn positive comment from outside Cambridge. Now on the cusp of turning 71, Roger said it was time to

take his foot off the pedal. He hopes to find more time to visit those of his adult children living overseas and spend more time with grandchildren. He intends to remain on the Cambridge Community Board, will keep up his involvement with Rotary, and is chairman of the local branch of the National Party. He’s also pondering an invitation to join the Board of Destination Cambridge, thinking some of his experience

as a member of the New Zealand Institute of Directors might be useful, and has been asked if would consider doing some guiding work locally. As for his time as I-SITE? “I have really enjoyed my time here. And don’t forget one of my biggest successes,” he grinned. “That was getting the SuperLoo re-opened! It now has three times as many users as before it closed – it’s obvious there was more than a wee need for it in the first place!”

Departing Cambridge I-SITE chief executive Roger Gordon with some of the controversial “C” signage done during the re-branding of the town.

FRIDAY JUNE 29, 2018

Insights gained on Japan trip A local teacher has touched down in Cambridge after a whirlwind trip across the Pacific as part of the Japan Sports Forum. Cambridge High School’s Joel Baker joined a group of ten physical education teachers from around New Zealand on a trip to Japan last month, learning about the culture, traditions and society of Japan, “so that they are better equipped to teach their students about the country,” explained Yasheeka Bertram, leader of the trip and education adviser to the Asia New Zealand Foundation, which funded the trip. “We hope teachers incorporate the insights gained from the Tokyo trip into their lesson plans in relation to upcoming sports events, which will give students a deeper understanding of the sporting culture in Japan.” With Japan set to host four major sporting events in the next few years – the 2019 Rugby World Cup, the 2020 Summer Olympic Games and

Paralympics, and the 2021 World Masters Games – part of the aim of the trip was to establish connections and friendships ahead of the big events, in addition to helping both cultures better understand and benefit from each other, especially when it comes to sports education. “We were trying to make connections with universities, schools, rugby clubs, all these types of connections we could, and to increase our knowledge about how the education system works and what’s actually happening over there in a physical education context… with the idea that we’re gaining that knowledge to be able to bring it back to our students,” Joel explained. A stop in at the Nippon Sport Science University, the Senior High School at Otsuka, University of Tsukuba, and the Toyko Metropolitan Aoyama High School, gave an idea of the stark contrast between New Zealand’s sport education and that of Japan – where at high school, students choose between three main martial arts disciplines

St Peter’s School’s Lit Quiz team successfully put their book knowledge to the test at the Lit Quiz national final in Wellington on June 10, finishing fifth out of 16 teams representing their regions. Having been one point off third place it was a fantastic achievement for the young team, which came first at the regional round in May. Gaining two points for every correct answer, and losing a point for every incorrect answer, it was a seemingly simple question along the lines of,

“What is a book with measured lines that you write in?” that slipped the St Peter’s team from third to fifth, after they answered, “notebook”. The judges said they would have accepted work book, exercise book or scribbler, but not notebook, much to the amazement of anyone with common sense. But the team of Thomas Giltrap, 12, Esme MacGillivray, 12, Emma Coley, 11, and Georgie-Rose Boyd, 12, happily settled with their fifth-place result. Well done, team.

under budo – judo, sumo or kendo – gaining much more than just selfdefence skills. “They were learning those core values of respect, discipline, self-drive, all those types of qualities. They don’t really view martial arts just as a physical tool to use, they’re very respectful with how they do it,” said Joel. “People ask me, what was your highlight of the trip, but I don’t have a highlight, it was that good, the thing that I learnt the most was probably about respect, and their traditions and customs.”

If he had to name one, Joel said their visit to Kodokan – the home of Judo – and watching one of only five sumo events in Japan each year, were some of the best experiences. Now back in Cambridge, as part of the aim of the trip, Joel hopes to incorporate some of what he learned in Japan at Cambridge High School. “One thing I’m very interested in is creating a unit of work around budo… really teaching the traditions behind it and underlining what really grounds that form of marital arts.”

Golden award for Molly G

By Sophie Iremonger

It was a case of déjà vu for Cambridge’s Molly Goodeve when she took to the stage as overall winner at the 2018 New Zealand Gold Guitar Awards on Queen’s Birthday weekend. The Year 11 student from Cambridge High School, also known as Molly G, had already won the junior country rock section of the same competition in 2015, and last year became world champion for her age group at the World Championships of Performing Arts. Add that to her raft of other awards, including NZ Rising Star at the 2016 New Zealand Benny Awards and

Entertainer of the Year in 2014 – just a few months after getting into music – and it’s safe to say it was familiar territory when Molly accepted the overall supreme winner award for the 13 - 18-year olds age group at the event in Gore on June 2. She also placed second for the same overall award, performing with her friend Hayley Monaghan as a duo, as well as picking up the winning trophies for the instrumental, traditional and vocal soloist categories. “It was pretty unreal…I wasn’t expecting it whatsoever,” a modest Molly said. “I’m never out to win, I suppose that’s not the best attitude! But I’m always in it for the good time. It’s so cool catching up with everyone again (at the competition) … so that was just the icing on the cake.” After accepting her other awards for the night, Molly almost left before they announced the overall winner because she didn’t think she’d get it. “When they said, ‘from Cambridge, Molly Goodeve’, I was like, no way, I just looked at (Hayley) and she started screaming and gave me the biggest hug, we were jumping up and down for a bit until she told me to hurry up and go get the award.” After accepting the big title, 15-yearold Molly had to perform the song that had helped her win, Jessi Colter’s I’m not Lisa, but couldn’t exactly pull off its usual solemn feeling. “It was funny because I was so happy, but I’m singing this sad song with the biggest smile on

Though keeping up her passion for music, Molly Goodeve will be shifting her focus to school work this year as she prepares for NCEA Level 1. my face, it made no sense,” she laughed. “It was just crazy.” Along with the award, Molly received a prize package which includes recording an acoustic track to be sent to the country music capital of the world – Nashville, Tennessee – where it will be edited and produced to world-class quality. “That’s pretty cool, that will be coming out later this year,” said Molly. “I’ll probably be trying to release as many singles throughout the year as possible… we’ll see what happens, because the first year of exams is super important, and school’s always been a first thing for me.” Despite having what will no doubt be a life-long passion for music, Molly plans on focussing her career on media, eventually hoping to become a television presenter. But in the meantime, she’ll be heading back to Tamworth, the country

music capital of Australia, where she attended a two-week course in January at the Senior Academy of Country Music (usually R18). This time she’ll be playing banjo in the studio, helping some of the friends she made there with their album work. “Other than that, I’m just focusing on school,” she said. “I’ve been so lucky, all the people I’ve met… The hardest part is that I haven’t had much time with my friends… But the opportunities I’ve gained, I wouldn’t change for the world. “Short terms goals are just to keep on improving and try and put my own music out there over this year, and then long term, I don’t know, I’ll just see where it goes and keep on improving.” Also at the 2018 Golden Guitar Awards, Cambridge-born Nick Brightwell won the Senior Instrumentalist Category for the second consecutive year.

Kids dress up for Book Week By Sophie Iremonger Victoria St was splashed with colour last week as a contingent of Cambridge Primary School pupils strolled through town in their favourite book character costumes. The dress up parade was the culmination of the school’s annual Book Week, where students enjoy all sorts of literacy-oriented activities throughout the week. This year’s theme was The Classics. Both staff and students – principal,

teachers and pupils of all ages, as well as Cambridge Library staff – got into the Book Week spirit with a range of different costumes, from Marvel’s Captain America and Spiderman, to witches and wizards from Hogwarts and even Dr Seuss classics. But the highlight for many would have been the contagious smiles the children passed on to the public, beaming from ear to ear as they showed off their work. Well done Cambridge Primary for pulling of yet another successful – and very cute – annual book parade.

Alfie Stowell-Sneyd, Dante Kim and Cohen Thomsen were rather excited to show off their costumes.

Roto-o-Rangi rocks gym fest By Deb Thurgood Roto-o-Rangi School students again showed their gymnastic skills on Thursday 14 June 2018 at the annual Cambridge Schools’ Gym Fest. A small but dedicated team of eleven proudly represented the school. Students competed on the floor, beam and vault to achieve a combined individual score. All Roto-o-Rangi School entrants placed within the top 20 in their category, with many achieving in the top 10. Special mentions go to Riley Kuipers (first in the Flyers Women’s Artistic Yr2-6), Lucy Dawson (first in the Club Division), Devon Ormsby (third

in the Twisters Men’s Year 2-6), Madison Judd (second in the Twisters Women’s Artistic Year 2-6), and Greer Curin (fourth in the Twisters Women’s Artistic Year 2-6). The gym fest is a fantastic opportunity for students to mingle with their peers from other schools and push themselves to achieve a sporting goal - all while having fun. Students practiced during school hours, willingly giving up lunchtimes to hone their gymnastic routines. It was great to see the sportsmanship, encouragement and support they displayed throughout the event.

Journey into space Roto-o-Rangi School has some budding astronauts after completing a recent school module on space. Juniors and seniors alike spent class time learning about our solar system and elements within it. The module culminated in a senior school outing to Waipa outer space – locally known as the Te Awamutu Space Centre - on Wednesday, June 20. Students were enthralled by the many interactive displays, and even the teachers jumped at the chance to try the virtual reality experience. It is great to have such a wonderful resource right on our doorstep here in Waipa.

Hangi celebrates Matariki Cambridge Middle School hosted and fed over 750 people last week when the school held a special Matariki hangi for the community. It took 15 weeks of preparation by the school’s dedicated staff, as well as 70 chickens, 10 pork legs, 10 beef roasts, around 100kg of vegetables and the trusty help of Joe Poka and Gray

from the Maungatautari Marae to make it happen. “We are truly thankful for the expertise and knowledge from Joe Poka and Gray, who did the hard yards putting down the hangi,” said Robyn Wilson, one of the many organisers of the project. “It would not have been possible without our sponsors, koha and donations from our

parents and community and supportive staff.” The meal came out simply delicious, topped off with a side of traditional Maori bread followed by a serving of steamed pudding with custard and cream. “All were very well fed and happy.” A long queue formed once the food was ready, but the school’s kapa

haka performed action songs to keep the crowd entertained. Working with the Matariki theme, students also ran interactive activities such as quiz challenges with prizes, jig-saw puzzles, folding paper stars, tattoo stenciling, paper lantern making and more, as well as putting on a stage performance every half hour about the Matariki legend of the stars. For most of the students it was their first time experiencing a hangi. “Their manners shone and seeing them FIGURE 3.2.1 all sharing our school with their whanau was awesome to watch,” said Robyn. “On behalf of the organisers, we want to once again thank our sponsors, Joe Poka and crew for the hangi mahi, school whanau, staff and community families for bringing it all together. We could not have done it alone, it was a collaborative effort and a community event which we are proud to have put together.”

A new set of curtains were installed at the Gaslight Theatre on Tuesday. Cambridge Repertory Society member Colin Morley said the group, which runs the Gaslight Theatre, were rapt to see the curtains finally go up after about a year of planning the project. They had initially tried to source the curtains locally in Hamilton, but eventually had to outsource to a Christchurch-based company. Deane Philip from John Herber Ltd said the new curtains were not only safer with a much greater flame retardance, but also reflected stage lighting properly and held in sound when they were closed, unlike the old ones. “It’s about safety, as well as looking better,” he said. A new track for the curtains with curves on the sides was also installed to improve sight lines, so that those on the extreme edges of the audience can see all of the stage, where previously the old curtains had to be held back. The Gaslight committee will

discuss what to do with the old curtains at their next meeting, and plan on introducing new seating and better air conditioning in the next few months. It’s the end of an era for the old curtains, which would have opened and closed for about

80 shows over their 20 years of use. The first show with the new curtains will take place over July 14 and 15 when Joanna Bishop, who starred as Vera in the recent Gaslight Show Blind Eye, brings her self-written one-woman show A Revealing Thyme to Cambridge.

The final show of Blind Eye took place at the Gaslight Theatre on Saturday, where the play’s writer April Phillips – a renowned New Zealand playwright – attended the closing night. Here she is pictured with the show’s director, Mike Williams.

Adventure race a real “Challenge”

By Sophie Iremonger

Cambridge High School’s adventure racing team have secured a place in the 5-day long Hillary Challenge adventure race final after finishing fourth in the six-hour challenge on Sunday. The group was up against 22 school teams from around the country, equipped with just a map and compass, as well as essential survival gear, to traverse about 40km on foot and bike in Rotorua’s Redwoods, using team captain Sam Bain’s excellent navigation skills, as well as team work, perseverance and both physical and mental strength to solve a raft of problem solving challenges, mystery activities, obstacles and rogaines. “I thought it went really good,” said the team’s

captain, Sam Bain. “We didn’t really have much preparation time because we had people pull out the last minute, so we had a few late ring-ins which meant we were kind of just getting to know each other as we went.” The school’s deputy head boy Sam Hogan, a seasoned adventure racer who did the 5-day Hillary Challenge earlier this year, filled in at the last minute along with two newcomers to the sport, Bella Forrest and Britney Laurence. “I think we did pretty well for not having any training, it was pretty full on,” said Hogan. “It was a little bit overwhelming because I didn’t know what to expect at all,” Bella said. “I knew it was going to be hard, but it’s a lot more mental as well, like having the mental strength to keep going,” Britney added. “It was quite like mentally challenging trying to keep up with people who had done it before!” said Bella. “We couldn’t have done it without everyone else in the team really, the pushed us, quite literally! Gave a boost mentally and physically.” “They’re a pretty tough bunch of students,” said PE

teacher Melanie Schroeder, who helped put the team together. “They did really well, I’m very proud.” Though the team failed to find the first checkpoint for the competition, they picked up their pace from there, collecting points across a number of challenges. “We never felt lost, the whole way (Sam Bain) knew exactly where we were going,” said Hogan “There’s nothing worse than thinking you’re on track and then realising you have to turn back… big credit to Sam’s navigation and the team’s perseverance, everyone just stuck at it, that was awesome.” Willem Dikmans described the experience as tough, but fun too. “It was rewarding, like the team atmosphere was good the entire time, there were always people giving each other positivity and confidence the entire way through, helping them, backing them up.” Some members of the team are considering braving a 24-hour adventure race in October, and most of them, except for the two Sams in Year 13, plan on competing in the in the five-day final early next year. “We’re pretty pumped, pretty excited,” they said.

By Gavin Lynch – Yes Mortgages Refinancing your mortgage is the process of changing your mortgage lending from your existing lender to a new lender. Refinancing is a common practice for any of these reasons: • You don’t like the lender you are with. You’ve experienced poor service, problems with staff, or high account fees. • You want to borrow more money but the lender won’t allow it. Perhaps you want to consolidate debt, borrow to purchase a rental property or a vehicle, or put working capital into a business. • You have ‘outgrown’ your existing lender and want to move forward. This is common for self-employed people with a growing business, or for investors with an increasing portfolio. • Your lender has asked you to refinance. You may be in arrears with mortgage repayments or you need to restructure your mortgage. Refinancing can involve costs such as break fees from the existing lender, solicitors’ fees, valuation charges etc, but we can help get cash contributions from your new lender to help offset these costs. At Yes Mortgages, we can outline the costs involved and find the best new lender to fit your current situation from the 25 or so different lenders available. In most instances, our service is FREE to you. Generally the benefits of refinancing outweigh the costs involved but bear in mind: Refinancing your mortgage must benefit and add value to YOU. Let us do the work to find you the best lender for your situation.

The adventure racing team were stoked to have made the five-day Hillary Challenge final. Back row: Sam Hogan, Sam Bain, Hamish Elliott, Willem Dikmans. Front row: Bella Forrest, Britney Laurence, Ella Briggs and Gemma Aveyard.

Strong performance from BMX boys By Sophie Iremonger Cambridge’s Mighty 11 BMXers Joel Runciman and Josh Cavanagh have returned from their whirlwind trip to Australia with some fantastic racing experience under their belt. Though they didn’t bring home the trophy, they did manage to make a few top placings in their qualifying motos and make few new friends across the ditch in the process. The boys were selected in April to be a part of the New Zealand team, travelling to Australia earlier this month to compete in the biannual Mighty 11 BMX competition – a special Trans-Tasman event for 11-year-old riders, where a team of eight Aussies and a team of eight Kiwis compete against each other at once – the only time teams race against each other in BMX. Although the win went to the Aussies, the two Cambridge boys were the best of the New Zealand bunch, with Josh finishing fourth in the team racing final – the fastest Kiwi – and Joel finishing fourth in the individuals final – the only Kiwi to make the final. They also pulled off a few first and second placings in the motos but were eventually squeezed out of the front of the pack by their larger Australian competitors. “It was different and unique, it’s good to have the opportunity to race with people,” said Josh. “It was fun racing as a team, which

you don’t get to do in normal racing,” Joel added. It was a different experience for the boys working with a team instead of working for themselves, where usually they would try to knock out every other competitor, in this case they had to watch out for their team mates and work together. “You’ve got to communicate with each other while you’re racing,” Josh explained. “It’s quite different racing, they had to consider leaving gaps for their team mates, but also blocking the Aussies at the same time,” Joel’s dad Neil explained. “There’s some tactical stuff involved.” The Australians had the lead from the start, getting out of the gate faster. Josh managed to make his way to the front of the Kiwis, but not the front of the pack. “I was really proud of them, they did really well,” Josh’s mum Shelley added. “The Australians were so much bigger than our boys – I’m not sure what they were feeding them! But they stayed positive and they definitely rode their hardest and their best.” As captain of the team, Joel led two haka performances at the competition in front of a crowd of hundreds and performed it so well that they managed to freak out their competitors a bit. “That was fun,” said Joel said with a smile. The boys said their favourite part of the whole experience was all the “fun stuff” they got to do. “It was cool to see

As team captain, Joel Runciman led a powerful haka performance. new animals and stuff,” said Joel, who had never left the country before. “And it was fun because I didn’t have any brothers or siblings to annoy me!” Despite their parents being there to watch them race, the boys stayed with Australian families as part of a cultural exchange and went and visited a few cool places along with their Australian competitors, including adventure parks, wildlife parks, skate parks and go-karting. “It’s not only about the competition, but getting to know people and making new friends,” Shelley said.

“They (the homestay families) really treated them as if they had two extra sons for the week, and were so proud of them,” said Neil. “They turned up at the track and they were yelling for the Kiwis!” Another Mighty 11 round will take place in September, where both countries will re-trial the Mighty 11 teams, and both Joel and Josh plan on re-entering. This time the Aussies will come to New Zealand, and the Kiwis will be aiming to take back the trophy.

Hautapu host Otorohanga Submitted by the Hautapu Rugby Sports Club Hautapu Premier A’s vs Otorohanga Having a number of players unavailable due to injury and rep commitments, it was a test of mental strength for Hautapu players taking the field against Otorohanga on Saturday. Hautapu opened the scoring after a poor clearing kick from Otorohanga’s halfback, with Kaea Hongara feeding Sam Tupou to go in out wide. Midway through the first half, Todd Doolan slotted a penalty to take an 8-0 lead. Otorohanga forwards continued to dominate, putting plenty of heat on Hautapu’s scrum and line out. They were rewarded late in the first half with a penalty try and scrum time, and the home team went down to 14 men. Score were close at the break, 8-7 to the home side. Oto scored early in the second spell to their left wing out wide but were unsuccessful with the conversion. Midway through the half, Hautapu managed to build some pressure and were rewarded with a try to Todd Doolan, which was converted. Otorohanga hit straight back with another try to take a slight twopoint lead. Hautapu were to rue a couple of poor decisions late in this match which ultimately cost them the win, losing 15-17. This week we will travel to Collins Rd to take on Melville. Hautapu Premier B’s vs Otorohanga A top-of-the-table clash with Otorohanga was always going to see a hard-fought match. Hautapu opened the scoring with a converted try followed by a penalty to Iwan Dawes. Micah Aish Gillard returned and had an immediate impact on the game. Defence at times let the team down, allowing Otorohanga to score. Striking back, Hautapu scored to go 17-7 up at half time. With required changes at the break, a different team took the field and to their credit they contested

everything, showing their ability to stand up under pressure. Otorohanga kept us on the back foot, attacking through their big forwards to score two unconverted tries. A steal in the tackle by Iwan Dawes saw him break downfield 50 meters to score his second try.

Great defence in the closing minutes by the lads securing the win 24-17. Cameron Ogle showed a mature head in both defence and attack, taking out the player of the day. To our supporters and sponsors, thank you. See you at Melville this week.

Know your Property Management Team Why use a property manager? Managing a rental investment not only takes time and skill, landlords must be conversant with law changes to the Residential

Tenancies Act, understand the legislation and follow the processes. There can also be stresses around finding suitable tenants and maintenance issues to deal with.

Keeping a good tenant is critical for a property investor. Good tenants are more likely to stay on if they receive a high level of service. Professional property managers

specialise in looking after investments and optimising returns. They know how to secure good rental rates, see that rents are raised in line with the market, manage properties and maintain high occupancy levels. They carry out regular inspections and are au fait on legal issues and documentation. Should problems arise over a tenant violating or wanting to terminate a contract, a property manager can quickly step in and manage the situation. They ensure the tenant/ owner relationship is conducted in a professional manner and everything is kept on a business footing. Finding the right property manager Securing a good property management company is important because the right company

A.R.S. Property Management's key to success is finding the right tenant for the right place. “We believe in getting it right the first time,” says Gaylene O'Sullivan, who has over 10 years experience in property management. “Going to court is extremely rare for us.” A willingness to go the extra mile and strong negotiation skills across the board enable the team to match landlord with tenant to a high degree of accuracy. The company's broad reach extends to Pukekohe, across the Waikato and down to Rotorua. The team includes Ian Watson, Sheree Lochead, who have an extensive background in real estate and property management, and a trainee whose first language is Mandarin. A new recruit with a banking background is soon to join the team.

Know your Property Management Team can make your life as a property owner stress-free. You'll want to engage a responsible, trustworthy property manager who will not only collect the rent on your behalf but also handle the day-to-day maintenance of your property, carry out regular inspections and respond to tenants' needs. Ask real estate agents for recommendations or friends with investments. Referrals are usually reliable. Interview potential property managers. Meeting them in person is also a great way of appraising their customer service skills and finding out about their operational and property management procedures, and market knowledge. It allows you the opportunity to ask about their qualifications and management

experience. Request references from other clients. A competent management company will have efficient systems in place and good communication skills. Check contracts carefully. Inquire about fees. Find out if there is a minimum term. Keep track of payments and make sure you're receiving rent payments promptly. Request detailed inspection reports and make sure your property is being thoroughly inspected. And let your property manager know if you have preferred tradespeople. Having a competent property manager can help to attract and keep good tenants. At the end of the day, the primary objective is to provide property owners with peace of mind.

Lacrosse: CHS Strong play at Patti La Trobe vs Hillcrest Cambridge High School demonstrated their tough resilience when they went up against Hillcrest on the weekend. The Hillcrest team’s absence of any subs wasn’t a problem as the athletic senior players presented solid stick handling skills. This meant it was an incredibly tough game for Cambridge High, worsened by a significant height differential, but to their credit the CHS lads played their hearts out. The final score was 8-4 to Hillcrest, but coach Anthony Murphy said he couldn’t be happier with how well the young players defended. “It reminded me of Goliath and David to see some of our smallest Year 9 players holding Hillcrest’s taller players at bay,” Murphy said. “You have to lose to know how to win and the game on Sunday helped highlight areas of play for us to improve before we face Hillcrest again later in the season.” Player of the Day went to captain Damian Leech, who led by example and was an “absolute rock” in defence. “Many times Hillcrests best players would try to dodge past Damian and he held his ground every single time, never giving them an inch,” said Murphy. “When this frustrated them and they gave him grief he ignored it and kept his mind on his own game, really setting the example for how I expect my players to conduct themselves.”

By Janet Myers, Cambridge Golf Club Our annual stroke play tournament was held on Sunday, before the afternoon rain. Changing the day to the weekend meant we had good support from 18 clubs and Waikato’s top golfers, who are unable to play midweek. The dry course was a revelation to many who are playing on very wet tracks at the moment. Our top player, Jill Morgan, scored 76 off the stick to win the Patti La Trobe salver. The trophy itself was inaugurated in 1958 and given to the winner of the Waikato Women’s 72 holes Stroke Play, an annual event for the Waikato trialists. The tournament was not played in 1973, when Patti La Trobe was captain, so the next year it was renamed and continues to be played for annually. In October, Jill will be part of the team representing New Zealand at the 2018 Women’s Seniors Trans-Tasman tournament in the Barossa Valley, Australia. We were thrilled when another local member, Thelma Newman, won the second division with 43 stableford points.

In the ladies’ section, Pam Nixon lead the field home with 38 stableford points, followed by Lesley Donovan, Valerie Smith, Jillian Reakes and Ann Thompson. Three players scored a two on the 13th hole to share the $64 pool. They were Russell Johnson, Gary Bennett and Morris Cattley. Gary also won the prize on the 9th hole by hitting the perfect third shot off the tee into the hole. Russell Johnson easily won the longest putt competition on the 18th green.

Coach keen for first win By Josh Easby

Cambridge football coach Paul Richardson hopes this weekend’s match against Auckland’s Onehunga Mangere United will give him his first win since taking charge of the Reds. Since becoming the club’s head coach in early May, Cambridge have drawn five of their six Northern League matches and lost the other (to runaway leaders Takapuna) by a single goal. “Normally, we’d be pleased that those results mean we’re a hard team to beat but surely we’ve got to win one soon,” he said after Cambridge’s latest match, a 1-1 draw at Papakura City last Saturday. The match against Papakura came alive in the 49th minute when Cambridge’s Jamie Woodlock dribbled into the Papakura box and netted from six metres. Papakura won a free kick almost immediately after the restart. Cambridge could not clear the high ball into their box and a header from former New Zealand U-17 international Ben Mata saw the home side level. After that, both sides had their chances and the match was marked by a series of yellow cards as tension set in for Papakura, who are stuck to the bottom of the division and desperate for points. This Saturday, the Reds are at home to Onehunga Mangere, a side coached by former All Whites Brian Turner and Dave Taylor. The game starts at John Kerkhof Park at 3pm.

Reserves triumph Other football results over Papakura Second-half goals from teenagers Toby Hartley and Nathan Hallum rescued a 2-1 win for Cambridge reserves after the team trailed Papakura City in the curtain-raiser. Hallum grabbed the winner in added time, volleying into the roof of the net after team mate Andrew Taylor came down amidst appeals for a penalty. It was a dramatic way to end a match in which both teams had spells in control. Papakura had the better of the first half, giving Cambridge goalkeeper Patrick Espin more action in 45 minutes than he seems to have had in any full game this season. Deservingly, Papakura went ahead in the 37th minute when Cory Mackay ran into space – with Cambridge appealing for offside – to calmly slot the ball past Espin. Cambridge began the second half with

more resolve and urgency and gradually started to take control. After 62 minutes, Hartley got the ball in space and carefully steered his shot inside the far post to level the score at 1-1. From there on, Cambridge poured on the pressure as the team went in search of their seventh successive league win. With the referee counting down added time, Taylor fell in the box, appealing for a spot kick, and the ball rebounded to Hallum who managed to keep his reflex shot down and just under the bar to score. The manner of the victory was a tribute to the team’s youngsters who added spark when older players started to lag. Goalscorers Hartley (16) and Hallum (15) are both in their first season of senior football. The win keeps Cambridge at the top of the reserves competition.

A serious injury to Cambridge’s Miguel Peterle marred their WaiBOP Championship match at Tauranga Blue Rovers’ Pemberton Park, won 4-1 by the home side. The 25-year-old Brazilian’s season was ended by a dislocated ankle and fractured fibula. Arlo Stedman scored in the second half for Cambridge after the teams were scoreless in the first spell. The Cambridge Waikato A team beat the Te Aroha Cobras 3-2 at John Kerkhof Park, to record their third successive win in highscoring games. Having won 3-2 and

5-4 in their last two games, it was hardly a surprise when this match also turned into a thriller. Peter Buesnel gave Cambridge the lead, but Cobras came back to level. Cullen Tappen then put Cambridge ahead 2-1, only for Te Aroha to fight back and make it 2-2. In the final stages, Cambridge found enough energy left for a surge forward and the consistent Jason Szabo found a winner for the home side. The club’s D1 and D2 teams shared bragging rights with a 2-2 draw at John Kerkhof Park. Scott Jenkins scored both goals for the D1s

from the penalty spot while Andrew Myers and Chris Hill responded for the D2 team. On Sunday, Cambridge’s women’s team ended their sixmatch winning streak with a 2-1 loss at home to unbeaten West Hamilton United. The visitors scored first before Astrid Howarth levelled for Cambridge. West Hamilton scored the winner midway through the second half. In the WaiBOP Federation Junior Boys’ League, Cambridge U-12s beat Hamilton Wanderers 8-1 with goals from Cortlan DavisHavill (4), Max Kelk (2), Blake Taylor and Keanen Subramoney.

Adventurers brave the wet

The weekend’s dreary weather didn’t stop 200 people from taking part in The Frazzled Kiwi Adventure Race at AJ’s Park in Horahora on Sunday. Keen adventurers of all ages took on the two to three-hour challenge of navigating their way through farmland – with lots of mud included – finding checkpoints, solving mystery activities, crawling

under a cargo net and even running through the frigid waters of Karapiro. Cambridge’s Hicks family, made up of Anna, James, Thomas, Kate and Lucy finished first in the family of 4-5 people category, and the local Langman family of Andrew, Elise and Ava finished second in the family of 2-3 people category. Tamahere students Kaitlyn Meinung, Aliya Berry, Quin McLeod, Payton Spencer and Will Martin also finished second in the high school students category. “It was great to see the children do so well and out there challenging themselves,” said Fiona Cleghorn from Soaked in Adventure, which organised the event. “The course was designed so that it’s achievable but also challenging enough to give that sense of accomplishment.” Photos by Michael Jeans

There was a chilly water section on the course.

Annabel, Rachel and Sophia Goodrich turned out for the race.

Teams took off strong for the challenge at Horahora.

The race involved solving mystery activities and navigating farmland.

The cargo net crawl put teams to the test.

They took the gold with the Netherlands in second and Germany third. “We had a steady first 1000 meters and then pushed,” said Loe. “Everyone is going to keep stepping it up, so we will need to do the same.” The Kiwi team of Kelsey Bevan, Kelsi Walters, Emma Dyke, Beth Ross, Jackie Gowler, Lucy Spoors, Kelsi Parker, Ella Greenslade and coxswain Sam Bosworth managed to overcome the Australians for second place in the women’s eight final. The Netherlands took first place, in a race where only a second separated the top five boats. “We felt like we executed our plan which we have been practicing so it’s a good starting point leading to Lucerne,” Kelsey Bevan said. “We’ll take a couple of weeks of good training.” New Zealand will take part in the third and final round of the World Rowing Cup in Lucerne, Switzerland July 13-15.

Cambridge galloper retired By Candice Gollan

Cambridge-trained Seize The Moment has been retired after a long and thrilling career. The Stephen Marsh-trained son of Pins, affectionately known as Seizer, won 7 of his 39 starts and placed in 17 others. His career highlight was winning the Group 3 Tui – Backing a Winner Since 1889 Anniversary (1600m) in January 2017 at Trentham, after coming second in the feature the year before. “He has been a terrific horse to be involved with,” Go Racing’s Matt Allnutt said. “A very genuine horse that always gave us his best.” The seven-year-old also claimed three listed races out of his sevenwin career. The 2015 Queensland Winter Racing Carnival Premier (1400m), Tumu ITM (1400m) and the Civics @ Cambridge Thoroughbred Lodge Premier (1400m). “He is a cool horse,” Seizer’s strapper Kieran Flynn said. “He deserves to have a good retirement.” The team at Marsh Racing are sad to see another stable favourite leave but they know he will be in good hands living out his

retirement with Anna Baigent. “Happy retirement to the legend that is Seize The Moment,” the Marsh Racing Facebook wrote. Baigent runs Anna Rehab – taking the race out of the race horse and has given forever homes to other Go Racing owned horses. “We wanted to ensure that he was given a great home as he has been such a good horse to us,” Allnutt said. “We are positive that Anna will make sure he has a long and comfortable retirement.”

“We are excited to have Seize The Moment come to retire with us,” Baigent said. “When he is Grace Prendergast and Kerri Gowler secured gold in the ready, he will be a therapy horse women’s pair final.

BUSINESS SHOWCASE

Jointwood Cambridge built on Kiwi ingenuity Eddie Webb's lawnmowing and mail boy days for Jointwood Cambridge will soon be over. Jointwood has been sold to Niagara Timber Products, a family-owned company based in Invercargill. The 91 year old says it might be harder to give up his daily ritual of morning tea with the team and reckons he'll still pop in for a natter. An iconic local business that specialises in fingerjointed New Zealand pine products, Jointwood's roots date back to 1910 and the birth of a building partnership known as Moore and Hardy. The two Cambridge builders pooled their talents and resources to manufacture wooden joinery products. After incorporation in 1935, Eric Levesque came on board as an apprentice joiner. Full of Kiwi ingenuity, the innovative and entrepreneurial Levesque pioneered the country's first fingerjointer. In 1958 the business started producing joint wood panel boards. “We couldn't make enough,” says Gavin Levesque. “At one stage, we were 12 months behind on orders.” It was at this stage that Gavin, a building apprentice, began working for his father. “Dad needed help.”

The bosses:

Smaller fingerjointers followed, right down to a 4mm joint machine, which was initially built using knives imported from Germany. Several machines were built and sold. With its enhanced technology, Jointwood began exporting to Australia. The business has enjoyed a long association with its Australian customers. Eddie Webb became associated with Jointwood after the business outgrew its Victoria Street site. In the meat industry at the time, Eddie was approached by Eric in the early 1970s asking him to custombuild a new plant on the Queen Street site where Jointwood is today. Eddie was offered shares in the company and sold his meat businesses several years later. Gavin retired in 2012, six months short of his 50th year of service. While the pair have weathered the ups and downs of business together over the years, their friendship has never waned and they remain good buddies.

The crew:

End of an era for Jointwood Cambridge

July 1 will see the end of an era for Cambridge's long-standing business, Jointwood. The company has not only been in existence, in one form or another, for a remarkable 108 years, it has survived some brutal competition and advancements in technology. Jointwood's reputation is based on a commitment to quality, craftsmanship and service.

These qualities have been faithfully passed on from one generation to the next. Jointwood has been bought by Niagara Timber Products of Invercargill. The familyowned business was looking for a North Island warehouse distribution centre and approached Jointwood's owners Gavin Levesque and Eddie Webb, who decided it was time to sell. Huge changes in technology in recent times, along with

growing competition, meant the company needed to change into a higher gear to remain buoyant. “Niagara will take the business to the next level,” says retiring owner, Gavin Levesque. “We're delighted that all 20 staff have been retained. Half of them have been with us for 20 plus years. They're great employees with strong loyalty.” The only one to voluntarily leave is

Terry McDonnell, who came on board as general manager six years ago. Terry will concentrate on his other business interests. Gavin says fingerjointed products is a tough industry and there is a constant need to upgrade and spend on technology. “We're pleased that Niagara will take the business to the next level. The company is very successful and owned by a nice family.”

Local businessmen leave their legacy

Jointwood Cambridge is known throughout Australasia for its fingerjointed products made from New Zealand pine. Weatherboard and fascia boards are largely produced for the Australian market, while window joinery is the major focus for the New Zealand market. Although locals may not have purchased the company's products, many have bought off-cuts as firewood. Over the years Jointwood has been a popular source of wood for local households. “We also offer trailer delivery,” says Eddie Webb. A factory equipped with two high-speed planers, an optimising docking saw, a fingerjointer, an LOSP treatment plant and

a preprime paint line allows Jointwood to manufacture fingerjointed products to customer's specifications. The fingerjointer can produce lengths up to 7.2m long and with a maximum width of 245mm. Solid clear products in random lengths can also be supplied. Jointwood evolved through the ingenuity of its early founders and has been sustained through the efforts, perseverance and business acumen of Gavin Levesque and Eddie Webb. “The human factor has been as important to us as our product quality and service. We built our business and export trade on honesty, loyalty, friendship and trust,” says Gavin. “We wish Niagara and all our staff the very best for the future.”

And there’s mothing more American than ‘fruit’ pie. When immigrants arrived in America, they were amazed at the abundance of fruits. Using them in pies was both nourishing and filling. During the 1800s the pie craze cooled due to health professionals MILE HIGH CRANBERRY PIE Frozen cranberries are available from supermarkets.

And one of the most popular days for enjoying pies is the fourth of July. The Caesar salad is also an American treat.

Traditional Caesar salad ingredients are garlic, olive oil, croutons, cos

Nowadays cooks like to add their own specialties such as grilled chicken, salmon and hardboiled eggs but it remains an American favourite. Although carbohydrate is a main ingredient in many American recipes, huge salads also play a leading role.

Sauce: 1/2 cup mayonnaise 3 tablespoons each: sriracha sauce, smooth mustard Filling: 1 tablespoon canola oil 4 medium mushrooms, sliced 4 rashers bacon 1 large onion, thickly sliced 4 each: lean beef hamburger patties, burger buns 4 slices melty cheese eg Swiss 1 tomato sliced 4-8 crisp lettuce leaves Combine the sauce ingredients and place aside. Heat the oil and pan-fry the mushrooms, bacon and onions individually and place aside. Pan-fry the burger patties about 2-3 minutes each side, until cooked.

Meanwhile, halve the burger buns and lightly toast. Top the bases with the beef patties then add the cheese, mushrooms, tomato, onions, bacon, sauce and lettuce. Crown with the bun tops and secure with a skewer. Makes 4.

Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the garlic oil over the French bread croutons and toss to coat evenly. Crisp in a 200°C oven for about 6 minutes. Wash and dry the lettuce leaves. Tear into a salad bowl. Season with the pepper. Whisk together the remaining garlic oil, mustard, mashed anchovies and vinegar. Boil the egg (in the shell) for 1 minute then break into the dressing. Whisk well.

Perfect Family Home

$735,000

7 BAXTER PLACE, CAMBRIDGE

OPEN HOME

This much loved 230m family home is on the market for the ﬁrst time in many years. With generous living spaces, four bedrooms (master with ensuite) and a ﬂat 1056m2 site, this 1980’s property would be ideal for those with a young family. Most of the hard work has been completed, with a 7-year old kitchen, carpets and vinyl, decking and fencing updated. Two heat pumps provide instant warmth or cooling, and there is the added bonus of a woodburner for the winter months. A 10,000 litre rain water tank has been installed, perfect for washing the car and watering the gardens. The property is located in a quiet cul-de-sac just minutes from all that is on offer at Lake Karapiro. The Leamington shopping hub is also just a short distance away, and the walking tracks are within a short stroll. Homes such as this are not often available; we highly recommend viewing. 2

ANT-MAN AND THE WASP Scott Lang is grappling with the consequences of his choices as both a superhero and a father. Approached by Hope van Dyne and Dr. Hank Pym, Lang must once again don the Ant-Man suit and fight alongside the Wasp. The urgent mission soon leads to secret revelations from the past as the dynamic duo finds itself in an epic battle against a powerful new enemy.

INCREDIBLES 2 Everyone’s favourite family of superheroes is back in “Incredibles 2” – but this time Helen (voice of Holly Hunter) is in the spotlight, leaving Bob (voice of Craig T. Nelson) at home with Violet (voice of Sarah Vowell) and Dash (voice of Huck Milner) to navigate the day-to-day heroics of “normal” life. It’s a tough transition for everyone, made tougher by the fact that the family is still unaware of baby Jack-Jack’s emerging superpowers. When a new villain hatches a brilliant and dangerous plot, the family and Frozone (voice of Samuel L. Jackson) must find a way to work together again—which is easier said than done, even when they’re all Incredible.

Cambridge motocross hat-trick makes history Let Tiles Make Your Statement

By Andy McGechan The Cambridge Motorcycle Club created history at the weekend, becoming the first three-time winner of the annual Battle of the Clubs motocross event in Taupo. It was the Cambridge riders’ third year in a row on the winner’s podium at the event, which is into its ninth running since the inaugural Battle of the Clubs (BOTC) in 2010. The winning Cambridge Motorcycle Club team riders this year were Dylan Westgate (junior 85cc class), Brodie Connolly (junior 125cc), Daniel White (junior 250cc), Jacob Steel (MX2 class), Cohen Chase (MX1 class) and Damien King (veterans’ class). Runners-up on Saturday were the sixrider squad representing the Mosgiel District Motorcycle Club, with the Tauranga Motorcycle Club team claiming the third podium spot. The manager of the BOTC winning club team, Cambridge’s Loren Stockley, was naturally thrilled to see her team succeed again on Saturday. “We knew we’d be among the frontrunners, but we certainly didn’t think that we could make it a three-peat like this.

We produced consistent performances across all of the squad and that was the secret to our success,” she said. The BOTC event is staged primarily to raise funds to assist in sending a New Zealand team to the annual Motocross of Nations (MXoN) event – the Olympic Games of motocross – this year to be held in the United States in October. Six-rider teams representing 27 clubs from the length and breadth of New Zealand travelled to Taupo for

Innovative building company Penny Homes was revealed as the MXoN team’s main sponsor this year and the six riders named in the short-list for Team New Zealand were:

Mount Maunganui pair Cody Cooper and Rhys Carter, Massey’s Hamish Harwood, Christchurch’s Dylan Walsh and Taupo bothers Cohen and Wyatt Chase. Motorcycling New Zealand general manager Virginia Henderson thanked the participating clubs and the host Taupo Motorcycle Club, for their support and also appreciated that event commentator Neil Ritchie and results and timing co-ordinator Nicole Bol had donated their time to the event.
