Cambridge Guides and Brownies mark outstanding achievements Three local Guides have become the first in Cambridge to achieve their Aoraki Award – the highest attainable by a Guide.

By Viv Posselt

The three, who are all 13 years old, are Emma Birch, Aimee Sardelich and Emma-Lee Abbott. They were presented with their awards at a ceremony on July 3, led by unit team leader Rachael Sardelich and unit leader Nicola Morton.

The Aoraki Award is the culmination of three years’ hard work, determination and commitment for those in the Guiding movement. Recipients are required to complete three Endeavour Badges and the Camp Experience Badge, as well as fulfil several other requirements. They are expected to have challenged themselves in areas of Outdoor Exploration, My Community Exploration, My World Exploration, and Global Exploration, and will have done their fair share of selling Guide Biscuits and attending ANZAC services in a Guiding capacity.

Rachael said the Aoraki Award signified the girls’ strong commitment to Guiding. “It is an award that they have put so much into, but it also recognises their families, for the girls could not have done it without the support, guidance and motivation of their families.”

The three Aoraki Awards recipients are all moving on to Rangers and will now aim for their Queen’s Guide awards.

The same ceremony also saw two Brownies receive the highest award possible at their level of Guiding.

Youngsters in need get a helping hand from local church For the third year running, two Bible study groups from the Cambridge Baptist Church have donated new pyjamas to needy youngsters as part of their ‘PJs in

This year, more than 30 pairs of new pyjamas were donated to Foster Hope, a non-profit organisation that works to

improve the lives of children in foster care.

The church Bible study groups also donated a selection of toiletries and several pairs of

Street dance auditions being held in Cambridge next week A Cambridge dance teacher with a fistful of awards to his name has put the call out to anyone keen to be part of a street dance crew to step up and audition.

James Tautuku teaches contemporary dance at Ignite Arts Academy in Cambridge, a new purpose-built studio in the town centre. With some 10 years of teaching/mentoring and performance behind him, James is now keen to help and develop aspiring Waikato dancers to “strive beyond their limits”.

He is keen to develop and lead three new Cambridge-based street dance crews to competition level, and is calling on anyone from the age of eight upwards to come to the July 21 auditions.

“Our new Ignite Street Dance crews will be focused on training in all styles of street dance, and will use their studio rehearsal time to prepare for upcoming competitions.

“These intense training sessions are aimed at developing the teams/crews to be industry and competition ready,” he said. “Our aim is to showcase some of Cambridge’s best street dancers on stage around New Zealand.”

hand-knitted slippers.

Delia Edmeades, pastoral care ministry leader at the Cambridge Baptist Church, said many of the more than 5000 children currently in foster care in New Zealand arrived at their new placements either with nothing but the clothes they were wearing, or with their belongings carried in a black

rubbish bag.

“Foster Hope believes that no child should be made to feel like their belongings are ‘rubbish’. Caregivers should be able to focus on their emotional needs when a child arrives, rather than having to run around doing last minute or late-night shopping.”

Delia said the backpacks

Trained in American modern jazz and contemporary dance, James has been dancing from the age of nine. After graduating from Auckland’s Excel School of Performing Arts in 2010, he completed further training before becoming a choreographer and core member of IDentity Dance Company. IDentity has two national and world titles to its name, having competed at international hip hop championships in the United States in both 2013 and 2014.

While with IDentity, he featured in television appearances and at corporate events, including the NRL Nines, Netball Fast Fives, All Black games, Breaker games, and at business conferences. He was also part of Primal Youth Trust’s UNDEFEATED Tour, a nationwide initiative aimed at the prevention of youth suicide, depression and anxiety.

Auditions for the new street dance crews are being held at Ignite Arts Studio (20 Milicich Place, Cambridge) on Friday July 21, between 9am and Cambridge Baptist Church pastoral care ministry leader Delia Edmeades with the boxes of 4pm. They are open to anyone aged eight and pyjamas, toiletries and slippers delivered to Foster Hope. over from anywhere in the Waikato.

Cambridge seminar offers a new way to approach menopause A seminar that promises to demystify menopause and unveil new research findings on its management comes to Cambridge this month.

The July 27 seminar will be led by doctoral student and founder of the website, My Menopause Transformation, Wendy Sweet.

It will be entitled “Menopause – The Untold Story”.

Wendy will present her own findings on navigating a healthy path through this stage of a woman’s life, and will include information referencing new research on menopause management from Harvard Medical School.

“It’s time to tackle menopause,” she said.

“Women these days live a very different life from our mother’s generation, and endless hormone therapies are not the answer any more.”

Wendy has an extensive background in health and fitness. The former Dunedin nurse went on to complete a degree in physical education before becoming actively involved in pioneering the personal training industry in Australia and New Zealand during the 1990s. She later lectured in the sport and leisure studies department at Waikato University and did a master’s degree in lifestyle behavioural change.

“Like many women, menopause was the ‘game-changer’ for me. Sleepless nights,

unrelenting hot flushes, low energy and mood swings that went mainly down, not up. It was hard enough getting out of bed, let alone getting through my day.

“When HRT and supplements didn’t work for all of my symptom relief as promised, it was time to dig deeper.”

With that as her foundation, she is now doing a PhD in women’s healthy ageing, and is keen to highlight better health management practices and the impact of generational differences in the way women cope with menopause.

“I decided to unravel menopause as part of my doctoral research, and have interviewed women up and down the country in a bid to understand their rationale for either exercising or not exercising.

“Women who are now between 50 and 59 years old are the first generation to grow up in an environment in which the fitness industry came to be so dominant. That has influenced our beliefs and experiences around our levels of activity.

“Women have been told that they needed to do a huge amount of exercise to control their weight. Many of them will have been pounding the pavements

or working out hard in the gym, only to wonder later on why their joints are so painful. Women between 49 and 59 are also those who have the highest drop-out rate when it comes to exercise and physical activity.

“As menopause arrives, when lifestyle changes are not made to rebalance the internal environment, symptoms can become worse. That’s when women run to get medications and supplements, but they are just a ‘band-aid’.”

Wendy said there were pathways women could take to ensure their journey through menopause was a positive one.

Understanding the role of hormones as chemical and metabolic regulators in the body was as important as understanding the impact of lifestyle and diet.

“Drawing on a new era of research called epigenetics, which identifies how our modern lifestyle practices impact on our genes and organs, I now understand that there’s an ‘untold story’ of menopause which resonates with lifestyle change, not hormone therapy.”

Wendy will lead ‘Menopause – The Untold Story’ at the Avantidrome, from 6.30pm to Wendy Sweet, founder of My Menopause Transformation, will 8pm on Thursday, July 27. lead this month’s seminar on the topic.

Health, Hormones and Happiness in Menopause Seminar Speaker WENDY SWEET

Let me demystify menopause for you. In this seminar I will tell you why traditional management of menopause is no longer the way forward for busy active mid-life women who lead a very different life from our mother’s generation.

Anniversary exhibition offers rare visual history of Cambridge

A 60th anniversary exhibition organised by the Cambridge Camera Club and called “Moments in Time – Snapshots of Day Gone By” promises a tantalising peek into the town’s past.

library throughout the week.

Cambridge Camera Club president Eric Hill said the 60th anniversary initiative was one that involved the public, club members, Cambridge’s library and museum, and the Cambridge Historical Society.

“We decided that rather than turning the focus on the Camera Club itself, we would focus on 60 years of Cambridge’s visual history. It will end up being a wonderful photographic record of Cambridge over the years.”

Eric said the public had handed in cameras and had helped unearth well over 100 images of Cambridge, some of them dating back to the 1870s.

The search for images started with the publication of an old black and white photograph in the Cambridge News of May 19, accompanied by a call for readers to help identify those featured in the picture.

“That was a great success; we identified about half of those in the photograph,” Eric said.

“We put out a call to the public, asking them to come forward with both old photographs and old cameras for the exhibition.

The response has been brilliant.

“So many old photographs have come to light from many different sources. We even had some from a man in Thames whose family used to live here.

It’s been a fascinating journey; that material will be on show at the library during the week of the exhibition.”

Among the images going on display is one dated January 2, 1922, showing a crash in central Cambridge involving a train and a Model T Ford.

A series of others taken around 1949/1950 captures

Eric said many of the images in the exhibition would never have been seen by the public before as they had been sourced from private individuals.

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.

died,” she said on Friday.

“It’s really hard to describe the feeling when you achieve something that you really set out to do.

“The amount of work we’ve put in to achieve this is phenomenal, and to see it pay off is like wow, we’ve done it.”

The high-end restaurant claimed a spot amongst the country’s finest on July 5, when it was named a top 100 finalist in the Cuisine New Zealand Good Food Awards 2017.

Five other Waikato restaurants made the cut, all from Hamilton.

The awards were assessed anonymously over a number of months by 40 expert judges appointed by Cuisine magazine editor Kelli Brett, who called them a celebration of New Zealand restaurants’ “incredible work, their growth and their ability to shine within a tough and highly competitive industry”.

Massey, who shed tears of elation after last week’s announcement, said she had

9 9 3

“no real clue” her restaurant was even in the running.

“It’s secret judging, so you don’t know who’s in contention or who’s getting judged – it’s all in the dark until the finalists are announced.”

“It’s been a business goal since day one to be part of the Cuisine Good Food Awards because they are the premier industry award. It was a really awesome surprise.”

Category winners will be announced on August 7, with those scoring 15 out of 20 or above receiving coveted “chef’s hats”.

Achieving that would be the ganache on the gateau for Massey.

“Getting a chef’s hat is certainly a goal of ours – I think every restaurant in New Zealand wants one of those,” she said.

Hospitality in her blood Massey, who grew up in Tamahere and attended St Peter’s School, has long been drawn to the hospitality industry.

“I always had hospo jobs

growing up at school and uni,” she said.

“It was the people; it was really fun and people were out for a good time. It wasn’t very often you came across a grumpy customer. The people you work with are a lot of fun too.”

During her OE in Australia and the United Kingdom she got into event management, and when she returned to Auckland she looked after Deloitte’s Fast 50 programme for high-growth businesses, where she met “some amazing entrepreneurs”.

“Since then I’ve always wanted my own business and the ability to do it my own way because I’m stubborn,” she said, laughing.

After a stint working as an events and sponsorship manager for New Zealand company Xero in Melbourne, which grew from 20 employees to about 180 over her three years there, it was “time to come home”.

“My sister was having the first baby in the family and all my good old friends had moved back to the Waikato, so I started looking around at what I could do. And I saw that “the Nash” (as it was called back then) was for sale. And here I am.”

She loves the atmosphere and historic charm of Cambridge’s National Hotel building.

On the day she bought the restaurant, Massey found her head chef, Harry Williams.

“I had a coffee with him at Paddock and we kind of realised we had the same food philosophy and that we could have a laugh and get along,” she said.

Together, the pair produces “fresh, innovative food that’s delicious with just a little fuss”, taking inspiration from across the globe and emphasising local ingredients.

Assistant manager Sebastian Lemercier, who has been with the restaurant about 15 months, was another key find.

“Sebastian is originally from France and he brings a huge knowledge of wines from New Zealand and around the world,” Massey said.

“He’s had quite a stellar career in the hospitality industry, both here and in Australia and Europe, so to have his level of professionalism in terms of staff training and product

knowledge and has been instrumental.”

The right staff Massey says finding people with the skills and experience she needs to fuel the growth of her business is probably her number one challenge.

“The biggest problem in the Waikato is trying to find a chef with relevant à la carte experience, great communication skills and the attitude and drive to be here,” she said.

“All the restaurants listed as finalists in the Good Food Awards except Palate are looking for chefs at the moment.

“It’s really hard; it keeps me awake at night actually. But eventually the right person will come along, we have to believe that.

“That was the case with our sous chef Martin. We’d been looking for three months solid and one day he just walked through the door and it was like ahhh. He had a light behind him.”

Making her mark Massey’s understated marketing approach is beginning to pay off.

“We didn’t want to come out with a big burst when we were new because we just didn’t know our capabilities and we didn’t want to let anybody down, because you work so

hard to get those customers through the door,” she said.

“You get one chance on a first impression, especially in a restaurant business, so we went quietly, quietly and decided early on that our marketing tactic would centre around PR and awards and making sure we were noticed by the right people. Because I think that’s the really true validation of what you’re doing.”

The team has been “plugging away at that”, entering its first awards in 2016 with the Matariki Dish Challenge, where Alpha Street Kitchen & Bar was a finalist alongside local cafe Paddock.

“Victoria Street Bistro won and Palate was a runner-up, so we knew we were on the right track,” she said.

With a New Zealand Beef and Lamb Excellence Award following in December and now the Good Food Awards announcement, the restaurant’s star appears to be rising.

Crucial ingredients Massey’s believes her “fierce determination” and emphasis on quality staff and creating the right environment have driven the restaurant’s success.

“From day one I’ve wanted to be the best place in Cambridge – somewhere that people feel really at home in, relaxed and

welcome,” she said.

“There’s no pretention here at all. If people think they’re not welcome here that’s just awful – that’s my worst nightmare – and I think that’s gone a long way towards our success.”

There is also a focus on delicious food, generous portions and a “premium boutique” wine and beer selection.

“Everything is meticulously researched – we have the terrible job of quality control – it’s really, really hard,” laughed Massey.

For her, making the Cuisine top 100 is payoff for the effort she and her staff have ploughed

Alpha Street Kitchen & Bar’s food is “fresh, innovative and delicious, with just a little fuss”.

into building a premium brand over the past two years.

“I suppose when I took over the restaurant I knew this was going to be hard work – I certainly didn’t go into this with my eyes closed,” she said.

“But I could never have dreamed how hard this was going to be in terms of growing a business, finding the right team members and just balancing everything.

Sometimes it’s felt like it just wasn’t worth it, but when you get something like this you take a step back and think wow, look at what we’ve achieved.

“It makes all the hard work worth it.”

Branching Out reaches out to community to do. Special Needs teacher, no need to be, and we really love having them here!”.

Branching Out is reaching out to the Cambridge community to help young people with disabilities achieve fulfilling adult lives.

Branching Out was formed a year ago when a group of parents saw the lack of work and social opportunities in Cambridge. “These days children with special needs are educated inclusively alongside their peers, however once they leave school, opportunities to participate in society almost completely disappear,” says Branching Out member Clare Atkinson. “Many employers completely overlook young people with disabilities.

Paralympian, Liam Malone, whose legs were amputated at

18 months, was turned down for jobs when he told employers he needed to sit for 5 minutes every hour. Employers couldn’t see past Liam’s ‘disability’, yet he went on to win 2 gold and 1 silver medals in Rio.” Branching Out members say the key to breaking down barriers is to show that people with disabilities can make a valuable contribution in their community and with the help of some local organisations they are doing just that.

Through the SENCO unit at Cambridge High School, students are encouraged to do work experience where they learn “real world” skills that they have few other opportunities

Hautapu drop out of top four after loss Submitted by Hautapu Sports Club

this with a good break out try to their centre from their own side of half way. Hautapu managed just a solitary penalty in the first spell. In the second spell the hosts managed to claw their way back into this match with some good driving work from the forwards and found reward with a try to Alex Graham, converted by Ben Engels. Another penalty from each had the scores close at 13-14 to Marist late in the match.

Hautapu were trying everything late into this match, but with a grubber kick through being blocked it was scooped up by Marist who ran in the match winner, taking this match 21-13.

Hautapu couldn’t manage to come away from this match with any points and drop out of the top four being replaced by Otorohanga after they had a comfortable win over Matamata.

The North Island Schools Road and Track Cycling Championships were underway in Cambridge over the weekend, attracting hundreds of secondary school students to the roads of Karapiro and the Avantidrome track for two days of top racing.

The Road Championships, including team time trials, road races and criterium, took place throughout Saturday and

The weather held off on Saturday morning for some great racing with Epsom Girls’ Grammar taking home the U16 and U20 team time trials and Hamilton Boys’ High taking home the U20 title for the boys’ team time trial.

Football club in running for four titles

By Josh Easby, Cambridge Football Club

Vital wins last weekend have kept Cambridge in the running for four of regional football’s top titles. With two-thirds of the season gone, the club is among the leaders for the Loaded WaiBOP Premiership, the WaiBOP Championship and the WaiBOP Women’s Premier League. The club’s men’s B team have also reached the semi-finals of the Soccer Shop Waikato Cup.

Cambridge moved into third place on the Loaded WaiBOP Premiership table with a 2-0 win against Rotorua United.

In the early game at Neil Hunt Park, Cambridge’s second side cast aside Rotorua’s reserves 6-1 to stay in second spot on the WaiBOP Championship ladder.

Both teams have games in hand over the sides above them.

The first team earned the points against Rotorua with a goal in each half, thanks to scorers Tom Woutersen and

Callum MacLeod. Cambridge are now within five points of leaders Waikato Unicol with the two sides due to meet at John Kerkhof Park next Saturday (2.45pm kick off) – a match that will play a significant part in deciding the premiership title.

Cambridge go into the game having won their last six while Unicol have lost their last two fixtures. Unicol lost 1-0 to Otumoetai last weekend, while second-placed Tauranga Old Blues and third-placed Taupo

also lost. In the Championship, Cambridge raced to a 3-0 halftime lead and then kept up the pressure for a comfortable win.

James Cakebread led the goalscoring with a hat-trick, while other goals came from Paul Blackstock, Jack O’Leary and an own goal. Cambridge are a point behind Unicol on the table but have a game in hand.

The two sides were due to meet this coming weekend but the game has been postponed because several Cambridge players are away, representing the WaiBOP region at a Futsal tournament. Again, Cambridge were helped by other Championship results with third-placed Otumoetai and fourth-placed Te Puke United both losing.

The club’s division B side reached the last four in the Waikato Cup with a comfortable 6-1 win against past winners Hamilton Wanderers Classics, who play a grade higher in the Waikato A league. Scorers for Cambridge were Peter Buesnel (2), Jason Szabo (2) and Mitchell Claridge (2). The B team led 3-0 at half-time and sustained their superiority in the second spell.

In another quarter-final, Cambridge A bowed out of the competition after a 7-0 loss to Melville United A. The B team’s success means Cambridge’s name goes into the semi-final draw with Melville United A, Melville United B and Otorohanga B. The side meets Melville United B in a league fixture next weekend, having drawn 2-2 earlier this year. The B’s have played Otorohanga twice in the league, losing once and drawing the other.

The cup semi-finals will be played on July 30 and the cup final – which was staged last year at John Kerkhof Park, drawing 800 spectators – is planned for August 27.

In the Soccer Shop Waikato Plate, the Cambridge D2s lost 6-0 at Waihi after trailing 5-0 at the break and struggling to

contain hat-trick scorer Richard James, while the D1s bowed out of the competition, losing 10-0 to C-grade side Northern United Debacles.

Cambridge’s women’s first team have already won the Waikato league title this season and are now competing in the WaiBOP Premier League against the best Waikato and Bay of Plenty teams. The club’s

women’s teams took a breather last weekend but the first team resumes on Sunday with a home game against Melville United Premiers (11am).

Last Sunday's WaiBOP Federation League games for the boys U-14s (at Melville United) and U-12s (at Otumoetai) were both postponed due to ground conditions.

Scorer for Cambridge in the premiership was Callum MacLeod.

Lakeview Archers do Storey well at world bowhunter Sport Q& A championships The local Lakeview Archers club (Horahora) were excited to have two of their members do well at the recent World Bowhunter Championships held in Florence, Chianti. With around 1600 archers from over 40 countries the bi-annual event provided a unique opportunity for NZ field archers to compete on the international stage.

The 5 day event featured unmarked courses, meaning no distances to the targets were provided, leaving competitors to use experience and skill to determine the correct distance to each target.

“The event was very enjoyable despite the high heat and humidity,” said Christine Finnegan, Lakeview Archers president. “These events provide a great opportunity to meet and compete with fellow archers from all around the world – and even though we may not all speak the same language, we all had fun and enjoyed each other’s company.”

Christine competed against 14 archers in her division (veteran female bowhunter recurve), while fellow Lakeview Archer Dennis Bryce faced 41 archers in his division (veteran male bowhunter recurve).

Christine started the week strongly coming 2nd and 2nd equal in her first two rounds.

A tough third round coming 6th meant that the last round was crucial to getting into the medals, but she shot very well and achieved another 2nd place. Her combined results made for an overall 2nd place in her division. “Some of the targets were very different to what we have a home’.”

Christine said, “Trying to work out where exactly to shoot a snail in order to get maximum points was a bit of a challenge”.

Dennis also did very well to coming 5th in his division, only 10 points behind the 4th position. Like Christine, Dennis also had to work hard to achieve this outcome having dropped crucial points and coming 6th in one round, while achieving a 3rd, 4th, 5th for the other rounds. Dennis noted that the courses where not necessarily harder than home, but the locations were very rocky and the loose gravel tracks were very different to the tracks found on NZ courses.

“We are very lucky at Lakeview,” said Dennis, “our gully course provides us with great experience at shooting the more tricky high angled shots like the ones we had at Chianti.”

Christine and Dennis were joined by eight other Kiwi archers at the event, and between them all they managed to bring home four medals.

What heart rate should I train at to just generally increase my fitness?

There’s an old graph they used to stick on cardio machines that showed a calculation of 220 minus your age as your maximum heart rate, and if you worked at 50-60% of this, they called it your ‘fat burning zone’ and up around the 80% plus mark was your ‘performance zone’. Whilst there is still use for this as a general rule of thumb we’re all built a little differently. E.g. the heart rate percentages you saw on the Americas cup cyclists. Assuming you have no underlying medical conditions, if you’re after generally increasing your fitness then maybe use this equation and go for the 50-70% zone and see how that feels.

What’s the best fitness app?

There are way too many apps out there in my opinion. My bet is that even the ones that work on a social platform could never replace the accountability, learning and fun that comes with training with a team for a sport, or with friends for event. Throw in the knowledge and expertise of a coach/trainer that can adapt training sessions and correct individual issues in real time and there really is no tech substitute. The data from some apps can be useful as feedback tools for the wearer and/or the trainer but what you need to do to get a different result is not always forthcoming from a wee screen.

Sir Ed team qualifies in third place

By Sophie Iremonger

A team of Cambridge High School students competing in the Sir Edmund Hillary Challenge finished in third place at the recent North Island qualifier held in Rotorua.

The first stage of the challenge consisted of running around the Redwoods for approximately 50 minutes, navigating and collecting 16 compulsory checkpoints. The students completed this stage rather quickly and finished at the same time as the eventual first-place getters, Trident.

Then they were off on their mountain bikes

for 25km, navigating to another 10 checkpoints before arriving at the 2nd transition by the Blue Lake. There they solved a math puzzle to receive the 3rd map. During this stage a crash caused them to fall back, but the team simply stayed calm and thought strategically.

Captain Sam Bain decided to head to Okareka Lake where there were more check points.

They were harder to obtain, but that meant they were worth more. The other option was to head around Blue Lake, complete two mystery activities and then if time remained they could head to Okareka Lake.

Sam Hogan, Sam Bain, Dean van den Berg, Josh Hogan, Grace Redman, Maddi Douglas, Iris Harterink and Alice Hill

But the decision was made to head straight to Okareka and the calculated effort proved worthwhile, giving the team enough points to land in 3rd place. The team included Sam Bain, Sam Hogan, Josh Hogan, Dean van den Berg, Alice Hill, Iris Harterink, Grace Redman and Maddi Douglas.

Another team from Cambridge High

School placed 9th out of the 23 teams in the competition. During the first hour the team hit a “bump in the road” but were able to correct themselves and finished quite strongly considering their delay. This team included Fraser Bain, Mathew McHugh, Hamish Elliot, Liam Petrie, Nina Sardelich, Amy Gregan and Kate Anderson.

A fantastic effort for all involved.

Cambridge Golf The “Veteran’s” (men 55+ & women 50+) weekly Tuesday round, 4th July: A good field of Vet Golfers managed to play a round of golf under a threatening sky in the morning. Morris Cattley finally found form, leading the field home with 43 stableford points.

Congratulations Morris. Russell Johnson and Peter Beetham followed with 40 points each and Duncan MacGillivray and Steve Haggie were next with 38 stableford points each. Best Lady in the field was Jan Mackenzie with 38 stableford points, followed by Marilyn Harrison, Julie Redgate, Linley Wallace, Ann Thompson and Sharon Harris. Gary Bennett and Denys Allen scored a two on “Lands End” and Russell Johnson scored one on the 13th.

Lynley Wallace added two 2’s to her score card and Bruce Ridden won the competition on the 9th for getting nearest

to the pin for 3 shots off the tee.

Duncan MacGillivray won the longest putt on the 18th green.

The women’s group (weekly Wednesday & Saturday rounds) recent report: We have finished the Brownie Salver (18holers) and Handicapper’s Trophy (9holers) competitions. Both required 3 rounds to be played, stableford points were added to find the winners. Moira Keyte had a convincing win with 113 points, Judith Stevens with 55 points.

Other members have put in

excellent rounds. Judy Higgins 68 nett, Fiona Soanes 70 nett, Jill Morgan 66 nett. Inez Farquhar and Pamela Walton also played below their 9 hole handicaps.

Last Friday the NZ Women’s Foursomes were held at Matamata. Sian Stevenson and Zeta Syme finished runner up in the nett competition.

On Saturday and Sunday the 54 hole Ruth Middleton Trophy was played for at the same course. Jill Morgan won the 54 hole nett with 203, 10 shots ahead of the runner-up.

Cambridge Community Board latest report

By Mike Pettit, Chairman, Cambridge Community Board

Consultation for the Waipa Waste Management and Minimisation Plan (WMMP) is now open, with submissions welcome until August 3. The Plan aims to build a zero waste Waipa over the next 18 years.

The WMMP is reviewed every six years and looks at resources both physical and people and money to achieve this. Have your say on this important issue at: www.waipadc.govt.nz/ haveyoursay.

The Cambridge Community

Board (CCB) sent a submission to the Waikato District Health Board to actively consult with the residents of Cambridge and Maungatautari Wards through a submission process, if considering fluoridation of our potable water supplies.

Through a submission and ongoing dialogue, the New Zealand Transport Authority has confirmed it is currently looking at routes around Cambridge for the reintroduction of the physical driver’s licence test. It is unsure at this point if all classes of licence will be available.

The Cambridge Chamber of Commerce made a thorough presentation on the parking challenges presented to Cambridge presently and in the future. This is an issue which Waipa District Council (WDC) is about to complete its own study into, and will work in with the Chamber. It is imperative for Cambridge that this is a WDC priority leading into next year’s 10-year Long Term Plan review.

There is a range of other activities at the stands also. Please come along and say hello/bonjour.

Thank you for all your feedback on the “Floating Cross” which was taken down because of structural concerns. 100% of the feedback received has been positive regarding it being re-erected.

The CCB supported this or a new cross being constructed because of the state of the existing cross. The local churches working with council and CCB will come up with a timely and appropriate solution.

Suggested also through community feedback was the establishment of a ‘Give a Little’ page so residents who wished to contribute to this project could do so. Further information will follow.

Council is actively working with all owners of cross lease properties, to have water meters installed to individual

residents wherever it is feasible.

You should receive correspondence from council on this. If you haven’t please make contact with WDC. May was huge in terms of building consents across Waipa, $53.5 million in total. It also included a $4.5 million build of a three-storey building containing retail and apartments in Cambridge.

This along with the significant investment by WDC in infrastructure work means our local economy is continuing to be buoyant. Twenty-seven new house consents were issued for Cambridge over the month at an average of $428,000 per house.

Well done to the folks who volunteer their time for the Cambridge Community Patrol. Remember to ensure your premises are secure when leaving at the end of the day so as not to give easy opportunities to the opportunists.

The community patrol is still looking for further volunteers and provide full training. They can be contacted through Cambridge Safer Community Trust: cambridgens@gmail.com.

Meadow Walk near completion

By Don Willoughby, Chairman, Cambridge Community Board

The 2km riverside Meadow Walk (pictured below), which runs along the Waikato River from Alpers Ridge Rd through to Fletcher Pl, is an outstanding example of what can be achieved when a group of volunteers works in harmony with the Waipa District Council and the Waikato River Trust to regenerate pasture with largely native forest. Much of the project is now complete with stage five currently underway.

We recommend locals give this walk a try.

Some seven years ago the

Cambridge Tree Trust (CTT) proposed to retire this council reserve land from grazing to create a wonderful riverside forest, expressing concern to Council about the harmful runoff going down the slope into the Waikato River. CTT presented the Waipa District Council with a plan to reafforest the pasture land. A track along the river margins between Alpers Ridge Rd and Fletcher Pl was marked out, grazing was ceased and the area was fenced off.

With the generous assistance of a grant from the Waikato River Trust the track was formed, gorse and blackberry removed

by council staff and an annual winter planting of native trees, grasses, flaxes and shrubs took place.

Every winter with the assistance of school groups from St Peters School and Cambridge High School and with regular help from Correction Department teams, the reforestation process took place each winter. Stage one, the first area planted (close to the Alpers Rd entrance), is now seven years old and an attractive area of native forest and native bird life, including the rare native falcon karearea.

Since then Stage two, three and four were prepared each

summer by spraying grass gorse and weeds, then mulching and planting. Stage 5, the last in the whole development of the Meadow Walk, is currently being undertaken, and a further area of wetland has been retired from grazing and fenced off.

Over the last eight weeks CTT members led by John and Jane Moodie have sprayed and then planted some 2000 wetland plants in this area of former swamp.

Volunteers of the Cambridge Tree Trust have invested hundreds of hours into the project and next summer the quality of the track surface

will be improved by the Waipa District Council. Local athletes and triathletes regularly use this leg-friendly track as it wends its way along the Waikato River bank. Try it sometime, the wide

Avoiding the perfection trap

How often have you said to yourself “starting tomorrow I’ll eat healthily and/or go to the gym every day”?

Then, by Wednesday, you’ve missed a work-out or bought a takeaway, only to decide the whole idea was a waste of time and you’ll start again next Monday. Sound familiar?

When we set ourselves unrealistic, unachievable goals we are more likely to give up when we have one small slip-up. I like to call this the ‘perfection trap’.

Have you attended a ‘talk’ by a health professional, or read a book about healthy living, and instead of coming away feeling inspired, you’ve thought that it all sounds too hard? It ends up being easier not to do anything, so you continue on your current path.

We often have this belief that being healthy is about being perfect, and if we can’t be perfect, or if we try to be perfect and we can’t stick to it, then what’s the point of trying?

What if instead, you set a goal to exercise twice a week? That’s a more realistic goal and if you made it three times, then what a sense of achievement! And what if you

decided to take a nutritious, packed lunch to work 3 days a week or to limit take-out to the weekend?

Setting small, achievable, realistic goals will build your confidence, make you feel great about yourself and, most importantly, help to create long lasting, sustainable healthy habits.

So, avoid the perfection trap and decide that sometimes good enough, really is, good enough.

Health coaching can support you to change your mindset and transform your health goals into positive action.

Whether your goal is to lose weight, increase energy, reduce stress or just get healthy; health coaches take the time to listen to your concerns, help you discover where and why you are struggling, and support you in navigating the world of health and wellness.

Cambridge Society of Arts’ feature artist Submitted by the Cambridge Society of Arts

Once a month we have an artist displaying their work on ‘the wall’ at the Painting Place on Thornton Road. Our July Artist is Suzanne Butler. She tells her story…

The Cambridge Society Of Arts recently organised a workshop with a visiting tutor which I attended and thoroughly enjoyed, coming away feeling inspired as did the other participants. The photograph (pictured) shows us holding our finished works which are comprised of stencilling over a dark background and then painting the negative spaces to create the very interesting and colourful pictures. That’s me in the middle.

The Society holds workshops throughout the year at its studio in Thornton Road which are heavily subsidised for members, with grants received from various organisations. This one was supported by a grant from the Waipa Creative Community Scheme. It’s a great Suzanne Butler’s collection of work on dispay at The Painting Place on Thornton Road. way to learn new techniques and get creative.

Flavours

with Jan Bilton

Roasts are a terrific way to bring family and friends together and they can make for relatively inexpensive and easy entertaining. Once they’re in the oven there is plenty of time to socialise.

Cheaper roasts tend to be sourced from the shoulder of the animal for example beef bolar, lamb forequarter and pork shoulder. They

Horseradish n’ bacon bolar

Roasts reward

have great flavour but require long, low-heat cooking.

More expensive cuts are ‘quick cooks’ and great special occasion roasts.

These include: beef fillets — cook at 190-200°C for about eight to 10 minutes per 500g; lamb racks that require about 20 minutes at 190°C; and pork fillets that take 30 minutes

This economical shoulder roast is flavoured with piquant horseradish and smoky bacon — the perfect match for a shiraz.

1.25kg piece beef bolar 2 cloves garlic, crushed freshly ground black pepper to taste 3-4 tablespoons grated horseradish (from a jar) 5-6 rashers rindless streaky bacon 3-4 tablespoons each: olive oil, plain flour Sauce: 3/4 cup red wine 1/2 cup good beef stock Preheat the oven to 200°C. Lightly oil a roasting pan just large enough to hold the prepared bolar.

Wipe the meat dry with paper towels. Rub with the crushed garlic and sprinkle with black pepper. Spread the horseradish evenly over the meat. Overlap the rashers of bacon evenly over the top so the horseradish is covered.

Place in the roasting pan. Drizzle with the remaining oil. Place the flour in one corner of the pan to brown during cooking.

Roast for 10 minutes then cover loosely with foil and reduce the temperature to 160°C. Continue roasting for 2 hours removing the foil during the last 15 minutes of cooking. Place the meat on a warm serving dish. Cover with foil and rest for 10-15 minutes.

Meanwhile, place the wine and stock in the pan. Whisk together with the flour. Simmer, stirring, until thickened. Add a little extra horseradish, if preferred. Serves 6-8.

per 500g at 170°C. Other cheaper beef cuts suitable for roasting include topside from the leg and rolled rib and prime rib from the middle of the animal.

To ensure tenderness, meat should always be returned to room temperature before cooking commences. Weigh the meat to calculate the cooking time.

Paprika roast chicken

Whatever the roast, once it is cooked it should stand on a warm plate tented in foil or covered with a basin for 10-15 minutes before carving.

For large roasts I like to cover the meat with foil then with a thick towel. The meat settles down — it ‘sets’ — making carving easier and the taste more flavoursome.

This spicy chicken is great matched with a pinot gris.

1 1/2 tablespoons paprika 1/2 teaspoon each: ground cinnamon, salt pinch cayenne pepper, optional 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil 1.5 kg chicken 2 large onions, each cut into 6 wedges Preheat the oven to 160°C. Combine the paprika, cinnamon, salt, cayenne pepper (if using) and oil.

Truss the chicken. Brush with the paprika mixture covering the entire surface. Place the onions in a roasting pan. Place the chicken on top. Add about 1 cup of water to the pan.

Roast the chicken for 30 minutes per 500g plus an extra 10 minutes.

Add a little extra water to the pan, if necessary, during cooking.

Remove from the chicken from the oven, tent with foil, and stand for 10 minutes before carving. Serves 4-5.

Slow-roasted pork shoulder with sage

Remove the skin and cook separately to make crackling. A soft merlot cabernet is a great match for the herby-flavoured pork.

2kg pork shoulder roast, bone in but skin removed.

Flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

4 tablespoons each: finely chopped fresh sage, butter, Dijon mustard 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh marjoram 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped Preheat the oven to 160°C. Place an oven rack in the lower third of the oven.

Season the pork with salt and pepper. Combine the sage, butter, mustard, marjoram and garlic in a small bowl. Spread all over the pork, working it into all the crevices.

Place the pork — fat side up — on a rack set inside a roasting pan. Roast, basting with the pan juices about every hour. Tent with foil if the pork browns too quickly.

Cook until the pork is very tender, 4-5 hours.

Cover and allow the pork to rest for at least 10 minutes before serving. The meat should pull apart. Great served on soft polenta.

Serves 8.

two-time former United States champion.

"The track conditions were pretty tough, with lots of mud and deep ruts forming, but, because the bike was a bit lighter than my 450cc bike, it was quite easy to pop it out of the ruts and find traction on fresher parts of the track.

"I tried to concentrate on riding smoothly and not making mistakes because the track was pretty treacherous. I didn't know how far behind me the other riders were, but I kept pushing hard to give myself a buffer in case something went wrong.

"Winning all three rounds on three different bikes is pretty cool too," he said.

Sunday's event also counted as round three of the parallel-but-separate NZXC Cross-country Series, with the fourth round of seven in that competition set for Taikorea, near Himatangi, on August 20.

FRIDAY, JULY 14, 2017

Fieldays drives new vehicle registrations to new record David Crawford, Chief Executive Officer of the Motor Industry Association says, “Registration of 15,985 vehicles for the month of June is not only the strongest month of June ever but also sets a new monthly record for any month of the year. The previously single strongest month was October 2016 when there were 14,709 new vehicles registered. Year to date the new vehicle sector is 14.6% (10,095 units) ahead of this time last year with 79,131 vehicles registered compared to 69,134 to the end of June 2016.”

Passenger car and SUV registrations of 10,181 units

were up 10.8% (995 units) on June 2016. There were 5,804 commercial vehicle registrations for the month of June, up by a massive 28.6% (1,291 units) on June 2016 and 22.7% (4,858 units) year to date over this time last year. It was not only the strongest month of June on record for the registration of new commercial vehicles, but the strongest month ever since the MIA began collecting vehicle stats in 1975.

Toyota remains the overall market leader with 21% market share (3,310 units), followed by Ford with 11% (1,689 units) and Holden with 8% market share

(1352 units).

Toyota was also the market leader for passenger and SUV registrations with 20% market share (2,011 units) followed

by Mazda with 9% (940 units) and Hyundai with 8% market share (829 units). The top selling passenger and SUV models for the month were all taken out

by Toyota models, the Toyota Corolla (508 units) followed by the Toyota Highlander (451 units) and the Toyota RAV4 (412 units).

In the commercial sector, Toyota was again the market leader with 22% (1,299 units) followed by Ford with 21%

(1,230 units) and Holden a distant third with 11% market share (666 units).

For the month of June, the Ford Ranger remains at the top of the bestselling vehicle model table with 1,178 units, followed by the Toyota Hilux with 964 units, and the Holden Colorado with 650 units. Year to date the top three selling models are Ford Ranger with 4,976 units followed by the Toyota Hilux with 4,065 units and the Holden

Colorado with 2,384 units.

For the month of June, four of the top five vehicle segments were dominated by SUV’s and Utes (Pick Up/Chassis Cab), with the Pick Up/Chassis Cab 4x4 being the most dominant with 18% share (2,807 units) followed by with SUV medium segment 15% (2,356 units), then SUV large with 14% (2,178 units), then Pick Up/Chassis Cab 4x2 on 10% (1,652 units), and the 5th being passenger small with

9% and 1,454 units.

“While the 2017 Agricultural Fieldays held at the beginning of June has boosted the volume of new vehicles sales for the month of June, low interest rates, strong net immigration, strong New Zealand currency and a healthy tourism market (car rentals) continue to underpin the sales of new vehicles” said David Crawford.

Drop in ACC motor vehicle levies

As of July 1st 2017, the average annual ACC Motor Vehicle Account levy, which includes the annual licence levy and the petrol levy, was reduced from $130.26 to $113.94 per vehicle – a reduction of 12.5 per cent.

The new motor vehicle levy rates apply for the next two years, and will save motorists more than $113 million over two years.

Motorists will pay a lower ACC petrol levy when they fill up at the pump, a 13 per cent reduction from 6.9 cents to 6 cents a litre.

The motor vehicle levies cover the costs of accidents on public roads involving vehicles.

Electric Vehicles (EVs) and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) will be classed with petrol driven vehicles and will pay the same lower levy. Previously these vehicles were classed as ‘non-petrol’ and paid all of their ACC levy through vehicle licensing fees, similar to dieselpowered vehicles.

Motor vehicle owners, including EVs and PHEVs can find out what the ACC levy portion of their car registration is by visiting www.rightcar.govt.nz.

Annual licence levies for motorcycles will remain at current levels.

ACC annual licence levies per risk band from 1 July for light petrol vehicles and light electric vehicles: Band 1 - $80.65 Band 2 - $53.27 Band 3 - $36.79 Band 4 - $17.38 ACC annual licence levies per risk band from 1 July for light non-petrol (diesel) vehicles: Band 1 - $150.63 Band 2 - $123.25 Band 3 - $106.78 Band 4 - $87.36 Some vehicles have been reassigned to new Vehicle Risk Rating bands for the coming two levy years as a result of the regular update of crash data used to generate these ratings.

EVOLUTIONS

Cambridge Funerals has been serving Cambridge and surrounding districts since 1945 when Lloyd Williams established the business in Lake St. Having had several owners since then, it is now owned and operated by Stuart and Trish Houchen, who took over in August 2005.

Twenty-two years in the Police gave Stuart a good grounding in various life skills which serve him well in his current chosen profession.

Since joining the funeral service in 2000 with Pellows in Hamilton, Stu has completed his training and holds qualifications in both disciplines within the job, ‘embalming’ and ‘funeral direction’.

The business is operated predominantly by Stu with a little help from time to time from a very capable and well trained locum.

Stu’s passion is to provide the best possible service to his client families at a very difficult time of loss and bereavement, whilst guiding them through the necessary process of planning, and preparing a funeral service that best suits their wants and needs.

Being a member of the Funeral Directors Association of New Zealand, provides Stuart with support and enables him to keep up to date with the latest trends and ideas within the profession as well as maintaining a very high standard of service.

Stu believes in personal service to his clients and does his best to be available 24 hours a day seven days a week.
