Letters to the editor Commuter rail service

I see the idea of a commuter rail service between Auckand and Hamilton, and now also Tauranga, has raised its head again. I have long been sceptical about this idea but I guess we must wait for more detail.

Of interest though is the suggestion of a branch line to Cambridge via Matangi. Newer residents may not be aware that there was a rail link to Hamilton until about 20 years ago when it was abandoned and the rails pulled up. The line now terminates at the Hautapu dairy factory and the wellused walk/cycleway from town along the centre of Victoria Street took its place instead. The terminus was where the vehicle testing station now stands, and where a major residential development is being built.

This brings to mind two questions: 1, Is there really a need for a rail service to Hamilton? We have a regular bus service with plenty of pick up and drop off spots, and where will the train terminate in Hamilton? The station is miles from the city centre, and if you want to go to Chartwell or The Base, a bus or your car will be a more realistic option.

2, How will a train get from Hautapu to a more convenient pick up spot in our town. The Expressway was not there when the railway was.

I like many, many other rate payers are shocked and appalled that our council spent $9,000 of our money on a letter “C” that has been well described as looking like a deposit that a very sick dog left on the grass verge.

I asked one of our councillors about them spending so much of our money on this yucky looking “C”, to be told well it was only $9,000.

Had a bag of sweets been given to a local kindergarten any one of them would have made a far better job.

We are now told that our chief executive and mayor can sign off $1,000,000 without telling anybody.

It is time that the WDC freespending council remembered that it is our hard-earned money they are spending.

It is not handfuls of confetti or bird seed they are throwing around, it is rate payers’ money.

If they cannot do their job with our money, get out.

Stephen Slade Council responds: Mr Slade has it completely wrong.

Neither the Mayor nor Chief Executive can “sign off $1 million without telling anybody”. What they can do is negotiate sponsorship arrangements to bring new money into the district in order to reduce costs for ratepayers.

Bystanders step in after car sinks in river

By Sophie Iremonger A 60-year-old local woman died in Waikato Hospital’s Intensive Care Unit on Monday afternoon after a ute she was travelling in on Saturday went off the highway and plunged 10 metres into the river near the low level bridge.

The man with her, believed to be her husband, was taken to hospital in a moderate condition. Four police cars, three ambulances and a fire engine attended the scene.

The pair had been travelling in a ute, towing a boat trailer, heading north on the main road. The vehicle approached the roundabout near the bridge, and reportedly missed it and went over the edge. The vehicle plummeted down the steep riverbank and into the fast flowing water, at about 12:25pm on Saturday, rapidly disappearing beneath the surface.

Bystanders, including an off-duty police officer, jumped into the river and pulled the two from the submerged vehicle. Once on the banks, CPR was initiated on the woman, reportedly for up to an hour, until she regained a pulse. She was taken to hospital in a critical condition and died Monday afternoon.

On Monday a boat could be seen searching river near the bridge in search of the A boat could be seen on submerged ute. Police Monday trawling the Waikato Serious Crash Unit was River near the low level bridge, believed to be searching for investigating. the ute.

married life.

Roger was exposed to clockmaking at an early age, and when he was 16, started his five-year apprenticeship in Birmingham with the British Horological Institute. He then added to his skills with further study in watchmaking and silversmithing, which meant that by the time he married Barbara in his early 20s, his career path was set.

Word of his best man’s adventures in the Antipodes sparked a lifechanging decision, and the newlyweds set off for this part of the world in the SS Australis. It was the early ‘70s and the ship apparently had a party reputation that suggests the TV series ‘Love Boat’ might have been a religious retreat.

Nonetheless, the young Jennings spent six weeks at sea on an adventure tinged with far more than just shipboard fun and games.

“There was a point at which we nearly sank in the Indian Ocean,” Roger said, recalling the relief felt by both when they finally docked in Australia.

They came on to New Zealand, and after some back and forth moves, finally settled in this area and ran two jewellery outlets in Hamilton.

They also did work for a jeweller’s shop in Cambridge and built their house in Te Miro – making it known that should the Cambridge jeweller wish to sell, they would be interested in buying.

The couple did just that, bringing Jennings Jewellers to Cambridge’s main street

in 1990 and winning the Top Shop award in their first year of operation. Under their stewardship, the town’s clocks and watches ticked away the next 22 years, and “there were a lot of engagements and marriages we provided for. It was a wonderful time”.

It turns out that Roger’s fascination with clocks extends to almost anything with a timing mechanism. His workshop walls are adorned with a wide range of clocks, new and old. There is a massive grandfather clock in one corner, Joined at the hip, Barbara and Roger Jennings have worked happily together for decades. a ship’s barometer elsewhere, a metronome and a music box, a hefty marble-encased clock with fascinating origins, and a stick barometer someone brought up from Arrowtown.

There is even an old meat hook from London’s Oxford Street, one he reckons is likely to be hundreds of years old.

As for his own preferences, he admits to being particularly partial to carriage clocks and he does love the deep sound of the old wooden grandfather clocks.

Free interactive webinars on living and dying now available

By Viv Posselt As debate continues around the contentious issue of assisted dying, Euthanasia-Free NZ is facilitating a series of free interactive webinars around the topic so as to better inform the public.

The webinar series, entitled “Conversations about Living and Dying”, features experts being interviewed on issues related to ‘living and dying well’. After each short presentation, attendees will have the opportunity to join the discussion in real time by typing their comments and questions.

Cambridge-based Euthanasia-Free NZ executive officer Reneé Joubert said the decision to facilitate the webinars had been taken in response to a recent parliamentary health select committee report on public attitudes to assisted dying, which found that “greater communication between health professionals and the general public is required to explain the dying process and alleviate fear”.

The health committee report

went public earlier this month, showing that over 80 per cent of submitters opposed legalising euthanasia. ACT MP David Seymour has a member’s bill on the same topic that is currently awaiting its first reading.

Ms Joubert said the webinars were being presented by Dr Amanda Landers, a community palliative care physician and senior clinical lecturer at the University of Otago Medical School.

“Dr Landers reckons that as a Western society, we have lost the art of being able to recognise the normal signs and symptoms of a dying body,” she said. “Consequently, we worry relentlessly about our loved one’s suffering, without understanding what they are actually going through.”

The first of the webinars was held on Sunday, August 20, but a replay is available via the link (livinganddying.org.nz).

Entitled “What happens to the dying body?”, that first webinar sees Dr Landers discuss what happens within the body as it is dying, and explain some of the experiences people have shortly before they die.

Ms Joubert said Dr Landers usually presented this talk to medical professionals, but she had simplified the language in order to make the presentation accessible to the public.

The second webinar in the series will be on September 3, where Vicki Walsh will talk about her journey in coming to terms with a terminal brain cancer diagnosis – the same type of cancer that afflicted Lecretia Seales and Brittany Maynard.

The third in the series – on September 10 – will bring Dr Landers back with a discussion entitled “10 Myths about Palliative Care in New Zealand”.

Ms Joubert said EuthanasiaFree NZ hoped the third in the series would help address the health committee’s concern around a perceived lack of understanding from the general public and some submitters to the report about what palliative care can do.

She said anyone interested in the webinars could register through livinganddying.org. nz. The public could also suggest topics and speakers for subsequent webinars via the same address.

Council in line for $250,000 Nordic inspired, nature’s colours A short-term borrowing arrangement will return more than a quarter of a million dollars to Waipa District Council.

The council has taken advantage of a favourable difference in borrowing and investment interest rates. The borrowing is through the Local Government Funding Agency (LGFA). The LGFA is owned by New Zealand councils and allows shareholding councils to access funds at low interest rates.

Last week the council’s finance and corporate committee authorised the borrowing and investment of $35 million at fixed rates of interest for six months. Councillor Vern Wilson voted against the move.

The money will be invested with three banks in

line with council’s investment policy.

When it expires in February 2018 the $35m will be returned firstly to the council, then to the LGFA in full. But the excess interest earned from the investment ($258,682) after payment of interest on the borrowing will go back to the council to benefit Waipa district ratepayers.

Waipa District Council entered into similar financial arrangements in 2017, securing more than $184,000 in additional interest revenue.

Chief financial officer Ken Morris said Waipa could take advantage of such opportunities because of its relatively low debt levels and strong cash balances.

Money from this latest investment will be reflected in the 2017/2018 annual accounts.

Burst hot water bottle causes severe burns

By Steph Bell-Jenkins Cambridge parents Tracey and David Crouchman are warning of the dangers of hot water bottles after their daughter was hospitalised for six nights with severe burns.

Nine-year-old Anna had just gone to bed to read at about 8.40pm on August 4 when her hot water bottle burst, spraying her legs with scalding liquid.

The bottle had been filled with boiling water from the kitchen jug about 30 minutes earlier.

“It was down towards the bottom of the bed and from what Anna recalls she moved her foot, which must have brushed against the water bottle and it kind of exploded really,” Tracey said.

“It split underneath the neck.

The water must have squirted upwards and hit her left thigh, all the way down the back of her left calf and there are two tiny patches on the right leg.”

Anna calmly walked into the lounge and told her mother what

had happened.

“She didn’t cry or scream and I didn’t realise she was burnt until I’d started changing her bed and I noticed her pyjama pants were wet,” Tracey said.

“I insisted she take them off and that’s when we realised the extent of the damage.

“It was a pure panic moment really.”

Anna’s father David was out performing in the opening night of the stage show Oklahoma at the time.

In shock but doing her best to remain calm, Tracey rang Healthline and neighbours for help. She called an ambulance and put Anna’s leg under cold, running water for 20 minutes until it arrived.

Anna was admitted to Waikato Hospital’s children’s surgical ward, where her wound was cared for and assessed over the following week.

The Leamington School student was devastated when doctors told her she would probably need a skin graft and

would not be able to perform her lead role in the upcoming school production, Cinderella & Rockerfella.

She rejected their advice, clinging to her hope of making it to the stage throughout her hospital ordeal.

“She refused to discuss the possibility of it not happening,” Tracey said. “She said ‘I’m not missing my show’.”

Anna was facing a skin graft operation last Monday but was healing so well the surgery was deferred until Thursday, then Friday.

On that day, her specialist gave her the news she was so desperate to hear.

“They knew Anna was in the Members: $129.99 school play so they said go and now on special be Cinderella and go11.99 to the ball,” Tracey said.

“They gave her the option of having a skin graft further down the line, depending on how much it scars and how she feels.”

Anna, who had been making special trips into school to attend rehearsals just days after being discharged from hospital, was thrilled.

She is due to take to the stage as Cinderella on September 7 and 8, when the play is performed over two nights at Cambridge High School.

Her parents say they will never use hot water bottles again.

“We’ve been shocked since this happened about how many people know someone this has happened to,” Tracey said.

“If we can take any positives out of this it would be to use our experience as a warning to others that it can happen and it does happen.

“They say at the hospital that it’s not an uncommon occurrence. And we’ve heard stories of hot water bottles being used with people who are disabled and they’ve burst

and they can’t move and have suffered pretty horrific burns as a result.”

Anna thanked her friends, family and schoolmates for their kindness and messages of support, which had “really helped”.

“There is always a silver lining to a dark cloud, no matter what,” she said.

The hot water bottle burst at the neck.

Walk to recognise value of older people

By Rebecca Foy, Sport Waikato

Sunday October 1 is the International Day Of Older Persons – which celebrates the value of older people.

Florence Shearman, an inspirational local older woman who has had an extensive career as a nurse, industrial chaplain and volunteer supporter of senior citizens, is continuing her hard work and advocating for positive aging in New Zealand by organising a fantastic local event, the “International Global Walk to Recognise the Value of Older People”, to be held on Monday October 2 at Cambridge Raceway, from 10.30am.

Florence’s wonderful life work makes for some incredibly inspirational stories.

She immersed herself in the role as Voluntary Community Coordinator for Senior Citizens

in the Thames and Coromandel district. Since moving back to Cambridge 12 years ago, Florence continued her work as Voluntary Community Co-ordintor for the Ministry of Senior Citizens. She has been recognised for her voluntary service for supporting seniors and promoting positive aging in New Zealand. This month Florence continues her hard work and advocating for positive aging in New Zealand by organising the following fantastic local event…

Florence, and Sport Waikato staff, would love to see locals of all ages turn out for the event on September 2.

The month of September is a great time to shake off the winter chills and start exercising as the days become longer and warmer. There is no

better reason to get ‘out there and active’ than preparing to participate in a local Waipa community event.

For regular and continuous routine based classes Waipa has a great network of community exercise classes and groups for older people. There are regular walking groups, exercise and aquafit classes which can be adapted to suit varying abilities.

Community groups and classes are welcoming and offer a safe environment that embraces social and fun ways to develop the four important areas of strength and conditioning: Balance – maintains standing and stability, whether you’re stationary or moving around.

Try yoga, Tai Chi, and posture exercises to gain confidence with balance.

Cardio – uses large muscle groups over a period of time and gets your heart pumping.

Strength/resistance training – builds up muscle with repetitive motion using body weight, machines, free weights, or elastic bands.

Flexibility – helps your body’s joints to move freely through a full range of motion.

We look forward to seeing

ZB Homes caters for all clients Zane Beckett is changing the face of Te Awamutu, brick by brick. The entrepreneurial builder who started his apprenticeship in Cambridge at 15 and went out on his own four years later is the founder of ZB Homes. Based in Zane’s home-town of Te Awamutu, the rapidly growing business specialises in residential and commercial construction. Clients throughout the Waikato and Bay of Plenty seek the company’s services. “We get a lot of repeat business,” says Zane.

ZB Homes’ reputation is built on a strong work ethic, a can do attitude, and a highly personal approach. “Our service is very personalised and flexible. We listen to our clients’ needs and work within their budgets.”

ZB Homes caters for clients right across the spectrum, including high-end builds which are a forte. While Zane has a special interest in assisting young couples and first home buyers to get a foothold on the property ladder, he is also mindful of the needs of retiring farmers and downsizers transitioning into their retirement years. A recent project saw the company build four easy-care units in walking distance of Te Awamutu’s town centre. The units were hugely sought after by the local community.

Zane got involved in the construction industry as a young teen.

He enjoyed being on the tools and seeing a project turn into reality.

Now, at 34, Zane is the managing director of the ever-expanding ZB Homes. A member of the Certified Builders Association, the

company takes pride in every project, uses local subbies from Cambridge and Te Awamutu, and strives to bring clients’ dreams to fruition. All homes come with a Halo 10-year residential building guarantee. Finance can be arranged.

First-rate communication and transparency are foremost at ZB Homes. The team at the home-grown, custom-design building company loves the community feel of Waipa and seeing the district prosper.

Student bands in the spotlight

By Sophie Iremonger Cambridge Middle School’s budding musical talents are being recognised in more ways than one, having earned a raft

of awards and recognitions at recent regional competitions.

Two bands that formed under the school’s Performing Arts Academy, “Oosha” and “6 Dimensions”, performed at the

Last chance for 2017 Toyworld Cambridge 37 VICTORIA STREET

recent BandSlam competition on August 4. Then on August 18, Oosha took to the stage once again for the BandQuest competition at the Clarence Street Theatre where they won the Best Original Song Award, winning $100 cash for their school.

The Oosha band members said they had heaps of fun during their performance on Friday night, and credited the earlier performance on August 4 as a chance to cool their nerves and get comfortable with being on the big stage.

“I think we improved heaps since our previous performance.

We probably could have done a little better but it was heaps of fun,” said the group’s drummer, Ben Wiles. “We were more comfortable with our movement the second time around.”

“It was a little nerve-wracking at first getting on stage, but then it wasn’t once we started performing. The adrenalin rush was insane,” added guitarist Liam Davis.

The band’s vocalist Jes Schuler originally wrote the night’s award-winning song, “Take Me”, which the band adapted for their performance.

Jes was also awarded Overall Best Singer. The group’s bassist,

Oscar Susilla, was awarded Best Bassist, and the drummer Ben Wiles awarded 2nd Best Drummer. Also in the band, Damien Enright was awarded Best Keyboardist, and also won 2nd Best Keyboardist at the first performance on August 4. The group was also awarded Best Original Song at the August 4 event, BandSlam. Also in the group is Ryan Lake on guitar.

Cambridge Middle School’s other up-and-coming band 6 Dimensions said they had a great time performing at BandSlam, held at Hamilton’s Activate Church.

“I thought we did pretty good,” said the band’s cellist, Cooper Van Dijk, “we did get a bit nervous before hand because our instruments got locked in!”.

The band was able to “break” their way into the storage space to get to their instruments not long before getting on stage, and said they weren’t thrown off by the initial mishap. “That was enjoyable,” Cooper joked of the off-stage blunder.

“I think we just wanted to get out there,” added the band’s vocalist, Mya Tohia. And once they got “out there” they were fine indeed, delivering an excellent performance and adding a notch to their belt for on-stage public performances.

“I liked it, it was great,” said vocalist Jesse Chettleburgh.

In the end Jesse was awarded Best Male Vocalist and Cooper was awarded Best “Other” Instrument. Also in the band is drummer Tom Henson and guitarists Cayden Buitendach and Claire Smith.

Their music teacher Tami Lee Ward said the school was very proud of the two bands and what they had achieved so far.

“They’ve worked really hard.

They rehearse once a week on Monday afternoons, so they put

a lot of time and effort into it.

We’re very pleased with their progress.”

The bands will have a few in-house performances at school before going on tour in November, performing at a few Cambridge schools before heading into South Waikato. At the end of November, on the 27th, they will also perform at the school as part of a Monday evening performance – which the public will be welcome to attend. Watch this space for more details!

Jes Schuler wrote the award-winning song, “Take Me” and was awarded Overall Best Singer at BandQuest.

College. Cambridge can clinch the title with three wins from their four remaining games which are all against sides in the bottom half of the table – Te Awamutu (7th), Rotorua United (9th), Melville United (10th) and Tauranga Boys’ College (11th).

Cambridge’s lead in the WaiBOP Championship stands at six points – and with a superior goal difference – over nearest challengers Tauranga City United. This follows a 2-2 draw at Otumoetai where Cambridge’s goalscorers were Mason Woodall and Levi Clark.

Life Is All About Balance

At nearby Tauranga, United were beating the other title challengers, Waikato Unicol, 3-2 after fighting back from a 1-2 half-time deficit. The tight results make for an exciting finish to the championship but the key match will take place this coming Saturday at John Kerkhof Park, when Cambridge host Tauranga City United. For Cambridge, two wins from their final four fixtures would probably be enough to secure the title.

Cambridge’s Waikato A side lost 3-2 to Waikato Unicol at John Kerkhof Park after the sides were tied 1-1 at the interval. Scorers for Cambridge were Tony Dikmans and Arlo

Stedman.

The third Cambridge men’s team still in the hunt for silverware are the B team who play in the Soccer Shop Waikato Cup Final next month.

They drew 1-1 with Melville United Knights at the weekend, moving into third place on the Waikato B division table.

A high league position and an outstanding cup run have been fair reward for a team promoted from the C division this season.

WaiBOP Football has asked Cambridge to host their annual finals day for the third time in five years, meaning the B team will get to play their cup final in front of home fans.

The Waikato Cup final

(between Cambridge and Otorohanga) and the Waikato Plate Final (between Waihi and Waikato Unicol) will be held at John Kerkhof Park on Saturday September 9.

Cambridge’s women’s first team lost a close game at home to Tokoroa by 3-2 on Sunday, ending the side’s hopes of mounting a late challenge for the WaiBOP Premier League title. Cambridge’s goals were scored by Iris Harterink and Kura Falleni. The Hill Homes Player of the Day was Gemma Martin.

In the WaiBOP Federation Youth League, Cambridge’s U-14 boys beat West Hamilton United 3-0 away after the game was scoreless at the break.

SPECIAL INVITATION TO THE CAMBRIDGE COMMUNITY TO VISIT HAUTAPU SCHOOL Year 1-8 30 August 2017, 10-30am - 2.00pm

Dear parents and caregivers

We know that a major decision is looming for parents of Year 1 to 8 children as 2018 approaches. Where will your children get the most out of their time at school?

While there is the ‘urban’ and ‘rural’ question there is also the ‘will they be prepared for secondary school’ answer that is needed as well. There is no denying we try to keep our country flavor, as special and unique, yet we don’t compromise on the opportunities we want to give our children.

At Hautapu School we pride ourselves on the opportunities children have, yet also the greatest of expectations that all our children will be independent and successful in their approach to work and achievement. Our children are well prepared and ‘ready’ for secondary schooling and stand out for their enthusiasm and eagerness to participate and be involved.

Next Wednesday 30 August we are providing an opportunity for parents to come and have a look at our school in action in their classrooms and we hope you will see this as a chance to come and have a real look at us. The school will be open from 10.30am – 2.00pm.

Our PTA are looking forward to having the BBQ with a bit of lunch if you are here over lunchtime.

We look forward to seeing you and hope you will take the opportunity to visit Hautapu School.

Q& A

If I were to take just one vitamin, which would be the best one?

I’m going to cheat here and say a Multivitamin. Most health professionals would consider a good multivitamin a bit of insurance to help keep your immune system in shape. With the stress and lack of optimum nutrition most people put themselves through it should act to give a bit of a buffer.

Nothing of course replaces good tucker, sleep and adequate water though. A couple of things that you should be aware of however; most multis contain iron so if someone has haemochromatosis, which is too much iron in their blood, taking a multi with more in it is obviously not smart. Also, go for a pharmaceutical grade one if you can then you can have some assurance it’s high quality.

I jog a lot and my left hip usually starts out sore and then once I’m into it, it’s okay, then stiffens up again when I cool down. Should I worry?

In a word, yes. Either back off the running and see if it settles down, or go see a physio to get it fixed and then a trainer to futureproof it and make it stronger. Sounds suspiciously like your ITB is playing up which is very common runners issue; basically, an overuse injury. Check also that you’re not running on a continuous camber on the road or footpath that might be giving you a constant one leg lower than the other thing.

hot-laps to gain a place closer to the start line on the grid, and 29 of those riders within four seconds of each other, it’s a big fight for supremacy,” said Dillon Telford.

“He nearly lost the bike twice out there, not what a girlfriend or mechanic wants to hear!” said Jo Taylor. “There was no way I would let him back out there with a bike like that, with 15 minutes left of the first qualifying round (Q1).”

After feeling movement in the steering head bearings, the team raced against the clock to get them tightened. “It’s never a rush job, but at the same time you have to be focused and precise, it’s the riders’ life at stake and there better not be anything left loose, no pressure!” said Jo. Within four minutes the bearings were tightened and Dillon was back out there for the remaining eight minutes of Q1, now able to push the bike even further. “Due to this lack of Q1 laps, we had not done our best lap time, it wasn’t bad but not our best, sitting in 26th position with a time of 1.41.96.”

With a bit of help from the Aprilia pit lane they were able to torque the bike’s head bearings to the perfect setting, allowing for a better race in the second qualifying round. There the team bettered their time again, shaving off a few milliseconds (a long time in this sport!) to a time of 1.41.22, placing them 25th on the start grid. Those in 12th to 20th place were close by with times within the 1.39’s, the top two having finished at 1.37.70 and 1.37.80.

“So we just have to bridge the gap to 1.39’s,” explained Jo. “Then the times will continue to come down, it’s not an impossible gap to bridge, it comes with learning the track more, turns one, two and three are a bit like Bruce McLaren Motorsport Park’s track at Taupo. You have to get turn two right, to get turns three and four Continued next page

“These riders have ridden this track since they were seven years old, where as we started learning this track two months ago, and due to funds, unfortunately can’t be here every day to fast forward our track knowledge.”

On race day, by 9.30am it was already 35 degrees Celsius with the Italian summer almost at its peak. As the race got underway Dillon made his way to the outside of the track. The first turn did not disappoint, with five or more riders crashing onto the tar-seal, just missing Dillon in the process, but causing him to run off track to avoid them, re-joining the race at turn two. “Turn one off the start is scary, up the inside you run the huge risk of gung-ho riders out-braking themselves and charging up the back of your bike, or T-boning you mid corner, on the outside you run the risk of everyone pushing you out wide or crashed riders out of control sliding across the track.”

Once back at turn one Dillon made his way into 17th place, but again a collision meant he had to stand the bike up to avoid it, letting four riders past him, so the hard work began to retrieve those lost positions.

With only eight laps of race distance remaining he finished in 19th position, which wasn’t helped when movement from the steering head bearings

returned in the last four laps, limiting Dillon’s power.

“Would you believe it, the steering stem bearings had come loose, after 60nm of torque and 22 laps of Misano!

So it’s just another small issue to overcome,” said Jo. “We are starting to really like Misano racetrack, its technical, tight and slow, but yet fast and open as well.”

The next round of the championship takes place on September 23 and 24, returning to Mugello. “We are planning a test day there to improve the set up and handling of the Aprilia (motorbike) around the very physical track, so we can push further inside the top 20

group and hopefully get some points on the championship board.”

“We again can’t thank everyone enough for the continued support!”

Hard-fought battle ends in a draw

By Sophie Iremonger

Battle of the Bridge was once again a resounding success for 2017, with well over a thousand people donning their rain jackets and turning out to the Leamington rugby grounds to show their support.

Organisers were relieved to

see the morning’s showers clear before the rugby kicked off at 2pm. A tragic fatal accident on the low-level bridge caused traffic to congest along the high level bridge and through town, making many fans late for the game.

But as the first half got underway, more and more

Richard Mita charges through the defence.

spectators packed the side lines as the Leamington Loonies began to take the lead in the first quarter.

But it was the Hautapu Hopefools that scored first, with a penalty goal from Cam (Beaver) Bourke to lead 3-0.

Hautapu player Glen “Grumpy” Wallace soon had to

leave the field after sustaining a broken arm during a tackle.

A midfield grubber (kick) was picked up by Bob Aitken out wide, with an unsuccessful conversion leaving the score at 5-3 to Leamington.

“Both teams exhibited a high skill level and created opportunities but the defence

was brutal and hard to crack,” said Leamington club chairman Dave Peters.

A golden moment unravelled as Hautapu pressed hard on attack, only to spill the ball forward in a tackle. Leamington player Jason Cameron, playing on the wing, scooped the ball up and sprinted 90m to score in the corner. Unconverted, the score sat at 10-3 to Leamington.

Hautapu’s forwards used their superior size and great technique to maul 20m upfield, overcoming the defence for Gav Stowe to score out wide, a try which was converted by Cam Bourke to bring the half time score up to 10 all.

The second half saw a wrestle for power between both teams until Leamington centre Piri

Bennet unlocked the midfield defence with nimble footwork to score close to the posts. Daryl Bennison then converted the try, 17-10 Leamington.

Within the last 10 minutes of the game, Leamington were reduced to 14 players as blindside Ron Seebeck was sent to the bin with a yellow card, the first in Battle of the Bridge’s history. Hautapu took full advantage with Brigham Nordstrom scoring a converted try close to the posts. This brought the score to 17 all, which was maintained until the end of the game, with perfect timing as a cold shower of rain started to set in.

The result was the second tie in Battle of the Bridge Continued next page

history. Though some believe Leamington should keep the Battle of the Bridge trophy, being last year’s winners, the two clubs will now share the trophy for six months each until next year’s event, to be held at the Hautapu grounds.

As the bitterly cold downpour set in, rugby players were quick to get into the showers as the unfortunate netball players soon took to the courts for

the netball match. The netball proved to be a tough-fought game, with both teams giving their all and fighting neck and neck towards the finish. In the end Leamington took the win, 24-20.

The volunteer women’s tugof-war contest was also held during the rugby’s half-time break, won by representatives of the Hautapu Club.

As the day’s games came

to a close the Leamington clubrooms became packed with locals sharing a friendly drink and banter with old friends. Live music, a roast dinner and the All Blacks match on the big screen made for a great evening. The official prize giving saw the skippers for both teams receive the trophy jointly, whilst the tug of war shield was handed over to Hautapu and the netball cup trophy handed to Leamington.

“The girls were very happy, they were using that cup to good effect right into the night!”

Laughed Dave Peters.

“It was just absolutely an epic game, just amazing,” said the event’s co-founder and Hautapu Club member, Mark Nogaj.

“Every single player gave it 100 per cent, there was just nothing left in the tank come full-time.

It was great to see the range of ages on the field, guys who

were in their 60s playing their heart out.

“There could be friendly arguments for a long time to come as to who was the better team, that’s a debate for the times. But another draw, it just goes to show how close it is every year.

“And a big thank you to Cambridge News for again being sponsors, they’ve been with the tournament the whole

way through.”

Dave Peters wished to thank Mark and fellow event founder Mike Cochrane, also a Hautapu Hopefools player, for putting the event together. “And thanks to the fantastic supporters,” added Dave. “Next year will be a cracker.” Mike added thanks to the Leamington Club and their support staff for organising another great event this year.

All too soon the courtesy bus arrived to take us down to the Waihi Beach RSA for an enjoyable dinner with some local tramping friends.

Afterwards we all slept very well.

In the morning, now revived, the impromptu aqua-robics brought

smiles and laughter. Down at Bowen town we ambled up some small hills, viewed the Matakana Island harbour entrance, explored the Maori Pa site then enjoyed a happy lunch at a local bach.

All too soon it was home time and the prospect of work the following day after a very pleasant weekend.

Cambridge Genealogists join celebration

By David Billing and Nancy Cooke, Cambridge Genealogy

On Tuesday August 15 the Cambridge Genealogy Branch, formed in 1978, had a luncheon in the Cambridge Community rooms to celebrate the National Society’s 50th anniversary.

Cambridge Branch welcomed around 35 members including founder members Anne Milne, Iris Thomas and Diane Murdoch.

Those present were able to renew old acquaintances and make new ones while enjoying a delicious finger food luncheon.

Branches and groups throughout New Zealand held similar luncheons. A live video link with the main group in Auckland then presented the keynote 50th Anniversary

speaker. Notable archaeologist, Bridget Gallagher, gave a presentation which illustrated the close links between archaeology and genealogy.

Objects found at various sites throughout NZ where buildings were being renovated or land was being developed for building, were linked to stories of settlers. Some of the sites included underground crop and food stores, or military items such as weapons or clothing. One archaeology item unearthed in New Zealand was a “hangi” site complete with stones which was carbon dated as 15th century.

A celebration cake was made by branch member Marjorie McMahon. This was cut by the

three founder members to applause from all present. The branch can now look forward to its own 40-year celebration in

2018. Local residents interested in Genealogy are always welcome at the Cambridge Branch NZSG.

Flavours

with Jan Bilton

Cool capsicums hot Capsicums — also known as peppers or sweet peppers — are seed pods.

My children used to eat them like apples. Green, red, orange, yellow and purple, capsicums are the colour of health. (A range of carotenoids are responsible for the different colours.) Capsicums are excellent in salads and stir-fries and when grilled,

char-grilled or baked lose few of their nutrients.

Capsicums are juicy with a mild spicy flavour the strength of which is influenced by the colour. Shapes and sizes vary from round block to pointy to mini.

All capsicums are a good source of vitamin C and a source of vitamin B6

and folate. Red capsicum contain higher levels of these nutrients compared to the other colours and both red and orange capsicums are a source of vitamin A. Many chefs argue that all capsicums should be char-grilled then peeled before serving. To accomplish this, grill or chargrill the capsicums until

the skin is blackened, turning often.

Place in a plastic bag until cool enough to handle, then peel.

I like to purée grilled and peeled capsicum in a blender adding garlic, salt and pepper to taste then drizzling in some good olive oil. The result — a tasty dressing for hot or cold veggies.

Mexican peppers 2 large red capsicums 1 small onion, diced 1/2 cup cooked long-grain rice 400g can chilli beans, drained 1/4 cup each: chopped parsley, chopped coriander freshly ground black pepper to taste 120g camembert or similar parsley and/or coriander to garnish Preheat the oven to 180°C. Halve the capsicums and

remove the ribs and seeds.

Combine the onion, rice, chilli beans, parsley, coriander and black pepper. Fill each half pepper to overflowing.

Place in a small baking dish and add a 1/4 cup of water. Bake for 30 minutes.

Top with slices of the cheese and continue to bake for 10 minutes. Serve garnished with herbs.

Bridge piling continues at Tamahere For the next four to five weeks Tamahere and Matangi residents may notice a few bumps or tremors in the ground.

This is due to the latest stage of Waikato Expressway works, which involves bridge piling work in the Mangaone Stream Gully.

The work requires a 100-tonne crane driving 18 steel casings up to 40 metres into the ground using a 10-tonne weight, as part of foundation work on the southern end of

the bridge being built over the gully.

After the work is completed in about a month’s time, bridge abutments will then be built before the piling team returns at a later date to drive the remaining 18 piles, meaning more mild tremors for the very patient residents.

Expressway staff are thanking those in the area for their patience and tolerance during this time.

The Mangaone Stream runs through Matangi, Riverlea

and Tamahere, current works are taking place between Matangi Road and the Southern interchange.

More information on the project, including the latest updates, photos and video, are available at www.nzta.govt.nz/ projects/waikato-expressway/ hamilton/ or www.facebook. com/waikatoexpressway/.

The entire Waikato Expressway, running from the Bombay Hills to Piarere, south of Cambridge, is due to be completed by the end of 2020.
