Keep on truckin’

Locals were drawn to Victoria Square last week when a fleet of classic and vintage trucks pulled into town.

The group of about 50 trucks taking part in the North Island Classic Commercials Long Lap parked up at the Square after hauling their way from a previous stop in Taumarunui.

The over 1500km tour started with a few South Island trucks making their way via ship to Wellington, where the trip began. There they joined a few North Island truckies and made their way to Whanganui, New Plymouth, and Taumaranui, with several trucks joining them along the way, before stopping in Cambridge on Wednesday to stay overnight.

After a few dozen locals of all ages got the chance to appreciate the huge range of trucks, before they continued on to Rotorua, Whakatane, Gisborne, Hastings and Fielding, then finishing up in Greytown. n See page 23 for more

Cambridge newsroom update

I was thinking about mental health this week, following the spectacular situation of Botany MP Jami-Lee Ross and reflecting on a conversation I had with a friend recently about the issue.

She said, and I agree, that we would all be needing much less urging to ring helplines and the like if we could all just not be horrible to each other. In short, if we were nice to one another, both online and in real life (especially online, in the comments section on anything), everyone’s mental health would be much better.

As the Mental Health Foundation has pointed out, negative and judgmental conversations that have been happening around Jami-Lee Ross may well be having an unseen impact and could prevent someone you love from reaching out for help themselves.

Something to think about when we are talking about mental health around

Speaking of getting in touch, last week’s front page story about the Claire Robson email extortion seemed to really hit a nerve – I’ve had a number of calls from people who have experienced the same thing. My favourite, though, was the one from the lady in her 80s who said the scammers would get bored rummaging through her computer because all they will find is knitting patterns. Classic.

Editor, In 1989 Cambridge had a population of 9000 people and it had its own Cambridge Borough Council with late Pat Allen as the Mayor, who had her office in the Cambridge Town Hall. Cambridge was well looked after by the borough council, main street footpaths were washed before the shops opened their doors, Cambridge was known as Town of Trees and was voted as the best town in the North Island by the famous North-South magazine. Even the late Member of Parliament Katherine O Regan used to meet the public once a week in the Town Hall meeting room.

For some unknown reason, Cambridge was brought under Waipa District Council.

All the developments went to Te Awamutu.

Cambridge only got the new library/ council building. After numerous requests, now they say Cambridge is to get a new pool. Te Awamutu got a new event centre, library, indoor swimming pool, and a museum.

Now the Cambridge population had reached over 20,000. It is time Cambridge people have their own Council similar to old Cambridge Borough Council. Let Cambridge rates be spent on the development of Cambridge and not Waipa or the museum in France.

Editor, Isn’t it time that this country was declared a secular state, that all religion be removed from every public function, particularly Anzac day and the dawn parade? This is our serviceman’s day, not some self-appointed religious leader’s day in front of the public. As for our national anthem, I will neither stand for it nor sing it, and it needs to be altered and brought into line with the demographic of this country.

Sculpture off, everything else on

By Claire Robson

The Cambridge pool complex has gone $1.6 million over the original forecast, with a re-testing of the contractor market putting it three months behind schedule.

Pool cost up $1.6M Council has entered into a $17.6 million fixed-price contract to build the long-awaited Cambridge pool complex – an increase of $1.6 million on the construction works forecast 18 months ago. Material and fuel price increases, a stretched sub-contractor market and an unwillingness to take on risk have pushed the price up.

The total project budget is now $20.7 million, this includes all professional services, planning and consent costs, fit-out (furniture, equipment) and solar power for the building. Of this, $2 million will come from external fundraising.

Mayor Jim Mylchreest is reassuring the community that council won’t be turning to ratepayers for help. The extra money needed will come from planned property sales in Cambridge which have already returned $2.7 million more than expected, he said.

“Let me be very clear. We won’t be coming back to ratepayers and asking for more money to fund the pool.”

Waipā has been caught up in construction challenges being felt nationwide across both the commercial and residential sectors, he said. More than 29 packages of work for the pool were tendered, involving more than 200 sub-contractors. More than half of the contractors declined to even

quote, advising there was plenty of work elsewhere without the same levels of risk or complexity. A shortage of skilled labour and high demand for tradespeople meant 13 packages of work were quoted on by two or less contractors. In all instances, prices quoted were far higher than what they were 18 months ago.

“The advice we’ve had, and we’ve tested it, is that the market won’t soften in the short to medium term and that if anything, prices will go up and not down,” Mylchreest said. “Given that and given the very clear message from the community to ‘get on with it’, we’ve pushed the go button but locked the price down via a fixed price contract. It means the price cannot change – that’s it.”

Council did consider re-tendering the project, hoping for better prices.

Another option was a formal peer review of the project budget.

“Both would have added at least six

months to the construction timetable and the independent advice we’ve had is that prices are likely to go up, not down. We could have waited and ended up in a worse position.”

Council also considered rescoping the project and removing components like the hydrotherapy pool or pulling the plug and putting the entire project on hold.

“I don’t think either of those would have been remotely acceptable to our community which has already been waiting a long time,” Mylchreest said.

“After considering all options, we’ve chosen to bite the bullet knowing that we still have Cambridge property in our back pocket to sell, with the proceeds already earmarked for the pool project.”

Mylchreest said re-testing the sub-contractor market meant the project was now three months behind schedule.

“We will be going as hard as we can to try and make up that time, but we’ll also need to be patient. Given the market, there’s not much we can do about it.”

The Le Quesnoy Memorial Sculpture has been put on the backburner until next year, while final details of its placement are ironed out. Due to delays in sign-off by the relevant parties and then an unavailability of contractors, Armistice in Cambridge group chair Paul Watkins said it was now likely to be February at the earliest before work begins on the commemorative sculpture.

The availability of dignitaries, many of whom are unavailable until next year anyway, had meant the official opening of the sculpture was expected in March 2019, when Governor General Dame Patsy Reddy would be able to attend. This has not put a dampener on the Armistice celebrations, however, with the commemorations starting on November 4 with a WWI art exhibition at the Town Hall a photographic display of the liberation of the French town in the plaza outside. At 9pm on the same day, a short light and sound show will premiere, projected onto the outside of the Town Hall. Telling the story of the walled town of Le Quesnoy which was liberated by Kiwi troops on November 4, 1918, the show will be voiced by a young French girl, representing a resident of the town at the time. The light and sound show is short and will be looped to run from 9 – 10pm, continuing each night at the same time through to Armistice Day (Sunday, November 11). The grand finale of the week will be the annual Armistice in Cambridge event, which will be held at the Mighty River Domain in Karapiro over the weekend of November 10 – 11. There will also be an Armistice memorial service at the Town Hall on November 11, with a small parade of military vehicles making its way through town before that. The vehicles will fuel up at Challenge on Duke St, which is sponsoring fuel for the occasion, then will meet at the clock tower at 9.30am. The parade will start at 9.45am, with the assorted military vehicles following a pipe band as it marches through town.

Relay for Life at CHS

By Sophie Iremonger

Relay for Life was back at Cambridge High School last week even bigger and better than before.

The Cancer Society fundraiser used to run at the school each year in conjunction with the national event but went on hiatus for the last three years. So this year, student James Ross and a group of 15 students from the school’s student executive and student service committee decided to bring it back as an end-of-year school event.

“We wanted to get bigger and better than what people remember,” said James.

And bigger it was – the whole school event on Friday afternoon featured a bouncy obstacle course, 100m waterslide, bubble soccer, music, food and live music from Andrew Starr.

Kicking off at 2pm, hundreds of students and staff walked the track a number of times, continuing on until 3pm.

“The meaning of the event is to raise awareness of cancer and anyone who has been affected by it,” James explained.

“It’s fun and it’s for a good cause,” said another student organiser, Jordyn McClennan.

Far Right: Te Haerenga Mulvey-Griggs, Abbey Kanters, Emma Barrott, Mya Anderson, Katie Greig and Jodi Mouat sported orange outfits during the event to recognise their friend Niamh Holten who was diagnosed with Leukemia. “We love you Niamh!” they said.

Sports kit spring clean out urged

Citizens Advice Bureau helpful information from our website: www.cab.org.nz

By Poppy Wortman

Hannah Newlands is calling for locals to donate their surplus sports kit to help others participate in sport.

The idea sparked when the Body Performance Clinic director was having a clear out of her husband’s wardrobe.

“Craig has travelled as a physiotherapist with sport each year since 2007, meaning each year he has given a whole load of kit.

It’s all great quality, but he doesn’t need 13 pairs of black running shorts to run maybe twice a week!

“It was all stuff that could of good use to someone. We usually pass on old kit to family members, but sometimes sizes are wrong. The I thought of my sister and brother-in-law in Palmerston North and the kids they work with and thought it could be useful to them – as well as keeping it from going to landfill.”

Hannah said sport is hugely encouraged in the Awatapu area as a means to learn skills such as leadership, teamwork and peer support. But a

My insurance company had my car fixed, and I’m not satisfied with the repairs. What can I do?

Bede and Ted Newlands are right behind their mum’s idea, building up boxes to collect sports gear in.

big barrier to kids being involved is not having gear to wear to play.

“Cambridge is a fortunate community; Awatapu, not so much,” she said. “The concept of kids not participating in sport due to not having training gear was something I hadn’t even considered before!

“At Body Performance Clinic, we are all firm advocates for the

enormous health benefits of movement and activity.

The life lessons that participating in sport and teams give are something I have taken for granted but could change these kids’ lives. An act of kindness, someone to believe in your potential, positive role models, communication strategies and team work.

“It’s good to look outside our own communities and remind

ourselves how fortunate we are – when we support each other we can all grow.

Because what is the most important thing in life? It is people, people, people.” n Sports kit and active wear in good condition can be dropped off throughout the week of October 29 to November 3 at Body Performance Clinic, Spoken Cycles, the Avantidrome and Rowing NZ.

Any repairs carried out on your car by an auto repair provider, must be ‘of an acceptable standard’, and ‘carried out with reasonable skill and care’. Be aware that it may not be possible to paint replacement parts to match the rest of the vehicle exactly, and your insurance cover may not pay for the cost of repainting the rest of the vehicle to match the new parts.

If you’re not satisfied with the repairs, don’t sign the discharge form, which counts as confirmation that the repairs have been completed to your satisfaction.

Repairs which are carried out by a repairer approved by your insurance company, are generally guaranteed. If the repairer won’t agree to remedy the problem, you can talk to your insurer about it.

If your policy doesn’t guarantee repair work done on your car, or you used a non-approved repairer, you may have to negotiate with the repairer – or make a claim to the Disputes Tribunal.

If you and your insurance company cannot agree and you think they are being unfair, you can begin the disputes process by making a complaint.

If you want to talk any issue through, call in to see us at Citizens Advice, 62 Alpha Street, Cambridge between 9am and 4.30pm weekdays.

Alternatively, you can telephone on 07 827 4855, free on 0800 367 222, or send us an email at cambridge@cab.org.nz

We all know what makes Cambridge so great...

Tree-lined streets, grid street patterns, fantastic businesses and a bustling community.

Event organiser Richard Meyers (right) and one of the event’s MCs David Wallace, who both grew up in Leamington, hope to see Cambridge residents come along to learn from some of our town’s most successful people.

Couch conversations for good

By Sophie Iremonger

A selection of the most successful Cambridge people will take to the stage at the Town Hall on Sunday, keen to share their stories and launch a Leamington community charitable trust in the process.

Conversation on the Couch will see the likes of Brendan and Jo Lindsay of Sistema and Cambridge Stud fame, Peter and Micah Wilkinson, and Olivia and Richard Loe sharing their insights and successes from over the years in an entertaining afternoon where Cambridge locals can be inspired by some of the town’s biggest success stories. The event, organised by Richard Meyers, will see local identities George Simon, David Wallace, Steve Davis and Nathan Twaddle interviewing the business and sporting personalities for the audience.

An auction will also be held, with signed All Blacks items, meat packs, chainsaws and more, with all proceeds from the event going towards the new Leamington community charitable trust. “I just want people to enjoy the

afternoon, that’s really my desire,” Richard Meyers said. “Enjoyment, and to learn something from these people … how they’ve achieved what they have, it’s for the audience to learn. If they can get a snippet of what Brendan has done, for example, that they can apply and understand, that to me would be a success.”

Beyond sharing these stories, the big aim of the event was to establish seed funding to form a Leamington community charitable trust. Richard Meyers, who grew up in Leamington, explained: “I really want to progress it into something that can serve the Leamington community. The intention is to add to it over time, invest in it and then redistribute the proceeds back into the Leamington community.” n Tickets to the event, which is on Sunday, October 28, from 1 – 3pm, can be purchased from the Cambridge i-SITE, by emailing leamingtonrugbysportsclubnz@ outlook.com or by phoning Richard on 0274 885 248.

Anna Hastings and Joel Armstrong danced their way to first place at the NZ Amateur Rock ‘n’ Roll Association Senior Championships on the weekend.

Cambridge Cruisers Rock ‘n’ Roll club dancers Anna Hastings and Joel Armstrong cleaned up at the NZ Amateur Rock ‘n’ Roll Association Senior Championships on the weekend, winning the novice best dressed and taking out first place in dancing.

Colleen Ryan from the club said that the novice is a category for people who have never competed at a Nationals before and is a very competitive section. “It takes a lot of courage to go onto the floor and dance in front of 900 people and perform well. Cambridge took a small contingent to the event and we are so proud to put Cambridge out there in our national line up,” she said.

Anna also danced with another combination from Tokoroa in Senior Triples and took out first place in both the best dressed and dancing categories there as well.

Cambridge is a newly formed Club with a focus on having fun, being social and learning dance for all levels and new people are welcome every week.

Cambridge Cruisers Rock ‘n’ Roll wants to grow the opportunity for children to take part, running junior lessons on Thursdays from 6pm.

Please contact Colleen Ryan 021 1603725 for further information.

Ankle sprains are the most common sports injury.

Because of their anatomy the lateral ligaments are sprained most often, this occurs with an inward roll of the foot. After an initial ankle sprain, people are prone to re-injury of the same ankle. Ankle instability is characterised by recurrent “giving-way” or “rolling” of the ankle. It normally develops after repeated ankle sprains or an ankle sprain that is not rehabilitated properly.

Care should be taken with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as neurofen, voltaren/diclofenac, naproxen. These can be used to reduce pain and swelling but they may supress the natural healing process and they do have potential side effects that need to be monitored. It is recommended that panadol be used in the first 72 hours after ankle sprain and then NSAIDs may be started if needed.

Common treatments aimed at preventing ankle sprains include taping, bracing, muscle strengthening, and balance Physio Megan Drummond training. Both braces and tape have a role in reducing recurrent ankle sprains, they are particularly important to use in the same season that ankle sprain occurs. But braces and taping must be accompanied by strength, coordination and balance re-training to further reduce the risk of re-injury.

It is common for balance to be affected following an ankle sprain and proper rehabilitation that targets strength of the muscles and balance reactions is imperative. Completing a comprehensive rehabilitation programme reduces the risk of recurrent injuries and promotes quicker recovery time.

The cycle team – which includes Alex Heaney, Josh Kuysten, Michael Torckler, Liam Cappel, Sam Cook, Xander White, Sam Gaze and Logan Griffin – will take part in two more rounds of the Dynamo Championship before the end of the year, before competing in the New Zealand Elite Road Champs in Napier on January 6, the UCI Gravel and Tar race in New Plymouth on January 19, the big Cycle Classic here in Cambridge on January 23, followed by two more rounds of the Dynamo Championship Series.

Blair said the big goal for the team was the Cycle Classic and looked forward to the fun of competing in an elite race with the support of locals behind them. “ “We want to be Cambridge’s team,” he said.

“Don’t support a team from overseas, support your local team.

“We’re all really excited.”

Solid efforts in Track Cycling World Cup New Zealand’s team of sixteen elite cyclists, which has trained here in Cambridge, finished up the UCI Track World Cup in France this week with a few medals to show for their efforts.

The new women’s team pursuit quartet of Kirstie James, Holly Edmondston Bryony Botha and Cambridge local Rushlee Buchanan won the silver medal on Day 2 of the event, October 20, losing first place by just 0.6 seconds to Australia in an exciting final. While they had to settle for second in 4:17.560 the quartet were rewarded not only with their first World Cup silver medal but a New Zealand record in the process, bettering the previous time set at the Rio Olympics.

“It is a really good starting point,” said the experienced Buchanan. “We are a fresh team and not tapered. It is the first time this group has ridden together, and while we had a few hiccups in the first two rides, we were calm and collected today.

“It is a testament to the work we have been doing and importantly the culture we have been creating, and the benefit of that came out in the final when we laid it down and had a ride we could be proud of.”

Day three saw sprinter Eddie Dawkins produce a superb silver medal performance in the men’s keirin, being forced to come around four riders on the final bend to finish 0.07s behind Japanese star Yuta Wakimoto in the final.

Next, the UCI Track World Cup moves to Canada for another round over October 26 – 28, as part of the Cup’s six-stop tour around the world, ending in Hong Kong January 25 – 27.

The second to last round will be hosted at the Avantidrome in Cambridge, January 18 – 20.

Local rider proves he’s toughest of the tough

By Andy McGechan, BikesportNZ.com

Cambridge rider Dylan Yearbury has taken out the annual Husqvarna Hard Adventure Enduro, proving once again that he is the toughest of the tough in a back-to-back win of the gruelling event.

The third annual running of the extreme motorcycle event was a “last man standing” affair in untamed forestry land between Tokoroa and Taupo, offering up plenty of drama. Dylan, a 23-year-old diesel mechanic, was not immune to misfortune, which made it even more surprising that he could celebrate back-to-back wins in this stern two-and-a-half-day test of man and machine.

The event kicked off on Friday afternoon with a “prologue”, a series of sprints over man-made obstacles, including tractor tyres, concrete pipes, metal skip bins, a narrow beam “tightrope” and wooden ramps, with a few sharp-edged boulders thrown in for good measure.

Results here determined the starting order for the following two days of forest riding.

The event was designed to be tormenting, offering up tracks with varying degrees of difficulty, depending on whether a rider was graded as Gold, Silver or Bronze calibre.

Riders navigated the course using a Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) device mounted on their handlebars and even that didn’t prevent some riders getting a little lost at times.

“I can’t believe I won again, after the series of misfortunate events I suffered this year,” Dylan said.

“I lost my front brake when a nut came loose, and the brake fluid escaped. Fellow racer Chris Birch (from Glen Eden) stopped to help me fill the cylinder back up with water, as a stop-gap measure, and then bleed the brakes, and that got me to the end of the day, when I could replace the oil.

“The next day (Sunday) the bike simply stopped because I had gotten dirt in the fuel filter. I cleaned it out and I was away again, but I had lost a lot of time.

Then I got barbed wire wrapped around my rear wheel and this time (another fellow competitor) Tony Parker stopped to help me.”

Twice more, Dylan was lucky to receive assistance from his rivals – Wainuiomata’s Jake Whitaker helping him scale a huge log and Helensville’s Tom Buxton assisting him on a hill climb – these actions epitomising the camaraderie that exists between these battle-hardened dirt bike riders.

“We all want to win, but we’re all mates too.”

Best of the Silver-graded riders was Cambridge’s Beau Taylor, while Whitecliffs’ Cody Corson topped the Bronze rider list.

“There was a massive variety of terrain that we covered, from mud, rocks, forest streams, steep hills, log cut-overs and bits of road ... it had everything,” Dylan said.

“It was to be expected though ... it’s in the name of the event, ‘hard’ and ‘adventure’ and it was both of those things and I’m feeling pretty sore and worn out right now.”

It was there, in 2011, that he met local businessman Mitch Plaw and his wife Kate. Their shared interest resulted in them planting five acres of grapes on the Plaw’s Horahora property. Andy made a couple of wines for them out of there, but the lure of Central Otago was strong, and subsequently saw him re-connect with a former university classmate and by then co-owner of Te Kauwhata’s Invivo Wines, Rob Cameron. They have been collaborating in the production process ever since.

Andy and Nikki, plus the Plaws, are headed to London to collect the awards early next month. There is a certain poignancy around this year’s win as Andy battles a cancer diagnosis that came through during the winter months.

But with characteristic optimism, he remains positive about his own future and that of his much-loved wines. “It’s a case of ‘watch this space’ … I know there are wonderful plans in place.”

Over 230 exhibitors were on site providing visitors with some great bargains as well as product and service information, advice and inspiration.

Pests in WRC’s crosshairs

By Stu Kneebone, Waikato Regional Councillor, Waipa/King Country

The Waikato Regional Council (WRC) spends over $6.5 million on pest control annually.

There are a range of objectives associated with this expenditure, however it’s primarily about minimising the potential and real impacts of plant and animal pests on our environment, native biodiversity and agricultural production.

All regional councils are required to have an operative Regional Pest Management Plan (RPMP), and a pest needs to be in the plan to enable the council to either manage it or require someone else (eg, a landowner) to manage or control it.

Objectives for each plant and animal pest are set out in the plan, with each pest placed in one of five management categories based on things such its impacts, distribution, density and the control methods available.

Methodology for control is sitespecific, and often includes chemicals and toxins, and WRC also is a strong advocate of biocontrols, contributing significantly to research in an effort to ultimately reduce pesticide use and reduce costs.

Biosecurity pest plant officers in seven areas across the region have primary responsibility for monitoring, providing advice, and enforcement activities for pest plants. Pest animal control is generally undertaken by private contractors.

Councils must to report annually on how they are implementing the RPMP, and the report for the 2017/18 year is

The company offers a wide range of shade sails, including custom-made and ready-made for those who prefer a DIY option.

Awnings are another speciality of Bruce Edwards Upholstery, providing weatherproof protection for both residential and commercial patios, entrance ways and exposed areas.

They can be manual or motorised and feature removable posts, a revel or face fix, reverse handle and a pull stick for hard-to-reach blinds.

Shade sails are also a popular outdoor shade solution, including retractablewave shades that are ideal for people with Clearlite or open frame pergolas.

“By adding a wave shade you can cut down the heat in these pergolas by about 15 percent,” says Bruce. “And in winter you can simply unclip them and put them away.’

Options include fixed frame and folding arm awnings which can either be operated by a gearbox with a handle, or automated with the press of a button.

The company also offers a wide range of Shade 7 umbrellas, including cantilever, market and commercial umbrellas.

“The Riviera cantilever is our most popular umbrella,” says Bruce. “Because there is no centre post you can direct the shade wherever you want it without the post getting in the way. It’s also strong and sturdy and can handle winds of up to 60kph.”

now available.

Council is also required to produce an operational plan for the coming year, covering what it plans to do in terms of pest plant and pest animal programmes.

The work plan for this 2018/19 year is also now out. Both of these documents are available on the WRC website.

Plant and animal pest control work is funded from the biosecurity rate (separately itemised on your rate demand).

The total revenue requirement for 2018/19 is $7.7 million. This is applied proportionally across all properties in the region on a capital value basis, and determined as part of the annual and long term plan consultation processes.

Rodeo report released A report into animal welfare at rodeos was released last week, expected to lead to improvements in the treatment of animals in the upcoming rodeo season.

The National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee (NAWAC), the independent committee that advises the Minister responsible for animal welfare, released the report along with advice to the Minister with recommendations to improve conditions.

The National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee (NAWAC), the independent committee that advises the Minister responsible for Animal Welfare, has today released a report on animal welfare in rodeos, together with advice to the Minister making recommendations to improve the welfare of the animals in rodeos.

The report entitled ‘Rodeo events – How do they impact the sentient animal?’ was commissioned in March to advise on animal welfare within rodeos, the use of specific equipment

and techniques, and the use of calves.

NAWAC utilised an expert panel and a structured assessment process to evaluate the animal welfare impacts of the seven rodeo events as listed in its existing code of welfare for rodeos.

NAWAC Chair Dr Gwyneth Verkerk said positive changes are expected to be introduced over the 2018-2019 rodeo season as a result of the discussions held while developing the report and communicating the recommendations to the New Zealand Rodeo Cowboys Association (NZRCA). Dr Verkerk said

one of the significant recommendations in the report is for the establishment of a new rodeo animal welfare committee, which would include key stakeholders from inside and outside the rodeo community, collaborating to improve the welfare of the animals in rodeos.

“This would cover monitoring and record-keeping of the use of animals; modifications to aspects such as equipment use; and ensuring the appropriate weights of animals in some events.” Consideration will also be given to research examining longer-term impacts of rodeo events on the animals.

Animal use in rodeos is regulated by the Animal Welfare Act 1999, the code of welfare for rodeos, and the new Animal Welfare Care and Procedures Regulations (2018), which came into

Country of Origin Labelling a step closer to law Mandatory Country of Origin labelling for fruit and vegetables got a step closer last week, with the second reading of the Consumers’ Right to Know Horticulture NZ’s chief executive (Country of Mike Chapman said their research Origin of showed more than 70 per cent of Kiwis want country of origin Food) Bill labelling on their fruit and veges. passing in Parliament.

The stated purpose of the Bill, which was introduced in December 2016 by Green MP Gareth Hughes, is to enshrine in law consumers’ right to know the country from which the food they are purchasing originated, so they can make informed purchasing decisions.

Horticulture New Zealand chief executive Mike Chapman said it was “great” to see the Government listening to consumers by progressing the Bill, as their research showed that more than 70 per cent of Kiwis want the labelling.

“This Bill has been a long time in the making and it underwent significant changes by the Primary Production Select Committee between its first reading and now. Ultimately, the outcome is what our growers want. That is, consumers can choose what to buy with full knowledge of where their fresh fruit and vegetables come from,” Mike said.

“Consumers want to be able to make choices based on their own beliefs and values. They may want to support local businesses, buy what is in season and grown locally, help keep and create jobs in their own area, or for that matter, buy products from other countries known for being the best at growing particular produce.

“We look forward to this passing into law, hopefully this year.

Gardening gene helps in planning festival on their garden, Jan dovetailed her teaching job with soaking up as much knowledge as possible about growing things here. When she retired, she joined the Cambridge Garden Club, rising eventually to take the role of president.

Each changing season has been scrupulously documented, and as she opened her garden to visitors, so she added details of those visiting groups to the files. It helps her plan, she explained, and allows her to track the progress of her plants as they thrive or otherwise in any given spot.

All of which has helped immensely in planning this garden festival. “The planning has been very important – time has been spent visiting the gardens, particularly those that are opening to the public for the first time,” she said. “It’s going to be a wonderful festival … the 10 gardens are all so different.” n Visit www.cgf.nz for festival details.

By Viv Posselt

Jan Mathers was the perfect pick to help select properties to be featured in the November 18 inaugural Cambridge Garden Festival.

Her own garden is in the line-up. It’s a picturesque sprawl of colour and texture, filled with all sorts of quirky surprises, secret corners and delights – a place that easily validates her own ‘gardening chops’. It’s also a fragrant comment on her own journey, one that more than suggests a gardening gene in her DNA and speaks to the fastidious approach she has in documenting each step of that journey.

Carey Church, who is organising the event as a fundraiser for the Cambridge Rotary Club, said Jan’s is one of “10 very different gardens” featuring in the festival. She’s delighted at ticket sales to date and is keen to keep flying the festival flag.

“Three are new gardens – I’ve just written a blog post on a garden transformation, and we profiled our two new gardens in St Kilda,” she said, referencing the regularly-updated festival website. “I’m thrilled at the interest, especially given that this is our first year. And it’s worth remembering that all proceeds from the festival go to charity.”

Recipients will be Cambridge Community REPAYMENTS House, Victim Support and the Rotary Club of FOR 12 MONTHS Cambridge.

News of the festival cameREPAYMENTS out several months FOR 12 MONTHS ago. Carey said well over half the 1000 tickets are sold, as are three-quarters of the tickets for an ‘optional extra’ behind-the-scenes tour of Lilies by Blewden.

Jan, meanwhile, is beavering away daily to put the finishing touches on her own patch.

Her great-grandfather started the genetic ball rolling … he was an early Birkdale pioneer who established orchids and grew tomatoes and apples commercially and her grandparents, the Levesques, became adept gardeners in this neck of the woods. There are also seed-merchants in her backstory. Much of it then was, of course, about swelling pantries with home-grown produce. That still happens in the Mathers’ garden – but the produce side of it comes at the hands of Jan’s Canadian-born husband Bill. She met and married him while on her “OE” from New Zealand many years ago.

“Gardening in Canada was very different to what it is in New Zealand. I had a lot of learning to do that’s for sure,” she said. “We had vastly different seasons, and the deer … they’d wander through at their leisure, eating any new plant I’d put in. It was very frustrating.”

When the couple re-settled in New Zealand, built their home 16 years ago and started working

Trout competition all wrapped up

By Michael Lynch The Kilwell Lower Waikato river trout contest was a popular family event again this year, with the eight-day long contest attracting 55 keen, experienced anglers from Cambridge to Te Kauwhata, well up on the previous three years. With 23 juniors under 17 and 32 adults, including three in the women’s section, there was strong competition for the $6,000 plus in prizes sponsored by locals, corporates, and businesses.

The river started at a reasonably low level from Saturday, October 6, decreased further but then rose with some showers towards the end date, Saturday, October 13. The weather was favourable, overcast with light winds for much of the week.

With the lower level we had good clarity at times, and there were many reports of whitebait being seen in greater numbers, plus there was a higher proportion of new junior and even adult contestants catching their first trout in the competition.

Rainbow trout were in the minority of fish caught at the recent Kilwell Lower Waikato trout contest, making up just three of the 65 trout caught. The rest were brown trout.

There were 65 trout caught, with 62 being browns and 3 rainbow trout. This compares with 66 trout in 2017.

Many more fish were caught or released than were entered, and overall, they were in similar condition and slightly heavier on average than the previous year.

With the contest area being as usual the main stem of the Waikato from below the Karapiro dam to the Waikato heads, the fish were caught from Karapiro dam to Mercer, with the browns chasing the annual whitebait migration. This year, a majority of fish (by numbers) were caught in the Rangiriri (16), Huntly (12), Cambridge (11) Ngaruawahia (six) areas. Next were- Hamilton (four), Ohinewai (four), Taupiri (two), Mercer(two), Karapiro(four), Horotiu (three) and Hopuhopu (one).

Most trout were caught early morning or at dusk

and into the evening, but a surprising amount were also taken in the middle of the afternoon. The more successful anglers targeted the very edge of the river, using short casts or even just trailing a lure off the rod tip to probe likely brown trout lies behind and under cover, along banks with good current.

From analysis of the total catch data this year, the average trout in this area weighs about 1.353kg, (well up on last year) and has a condition factor of 38.89,

which is a nicely coloured trout.

Weigh stations were at Sweetman’s Reel Fishin’ in Huntly, Taupiri Tavern in the evenings, plus Waikato Hunting & Fishing in Te Rapa and also Sportsworld Cambridge.

Local competitor Joe Bradford took out the Heaviest Rainbow Trout category, winning a $200 package with his 860g catch. He also won a $200 package for the Best Condition Factor Rainbow, with a factor of 52.37.

Sevens students off to nationals

By Sophie Iremonger

Twenty-five high school sevens teams battled it out for a spot in the national final at the Waikato Secondary Schools Condor Sevens qualifying tournament at Memorial Park in Cambridge last week.

The event on Wednesday night saw two St Peter’s teams – an under 18 boys’ team and under 18 girls’ team – and four Cambridge High School teams compete,

with boys’ and girls’ teams for both under 15s and under 18s.

While the St Peter’s girls didn’t win a game, the boys made it through to their final against Hamilton Boys High School, last year’s national champions, and finished second to secure a place at nationals.

“I was impressed… we just wanted to make a showing and have a go,” said the St Peter’s coach

The St Peter’s boys even managed to beat Hamilton Boys in their second game 21 – 5, but then lost 33-5 when they met again in the final.

Meanwhile, Cambridge High School made a strong showing in the tournament, with the under 15 girls’ team finishing second behind Hamilton Girls to make it through to the national final, and the under 18 boys’ team, finishing fifth overall, also going to the national tournament.

Cambridge High School’s under 18 girls finished fourth in the competition, and the

under 15 boys were eliminated after pool play.

“It was a fantastic afternoon for sevens and our CHS teams played very well,” said Carl Hudson, coach for the CHS under 18 girls’ team. “A massive thanks must be passed on to all the players, coaches and

TIRAU - A GREAT Tirau - full of sweetness

For a delicious real cream ice-cream or vegan-friendly sorbet, One Road Ice Cream Company at 52 Main Street is the go-to shop.

Owner and ice-cream creator, Susan Mundy, pours a lot of TLC into her products.

Tirau a rural revival success story Once a traditional service centre in economic decline, the small Waikato township reinvented itself to become one of the country’s busiest stopovers, renowned for its strong consumption culture and tourism-related identity. Twenty years down the track and Tirau continues to evolve, stay contemporary and exploit its uniqueness. The little town, which has gone from a drive-through to a drive-to, definitely punches above its weight.

A handful of retail establishments were the forefront of Tirau’s rejuvenation during the 1990s.

The town had taken some knocks with the closing of its BNZ branch, local post office, butcher, baker, pharmacy and landmark general store. However, a few visionary business people saw its potential and sought to optimise the strategic State Highway 1 location and centrality to Tauranga, Hamilton and Rotorua.

While location was certainly an advantage, Tirau looked further to create identity, capitalise on the huge passing traffic count and provide a reason for people to stop.

The Big Sheep wool barn was already there

when the local council decided that the town needed public toilets with a difference and the famous Dog was born. The prominent structure, which was crafted to match its ovine neighbour, became a big drawcard. Other corrugated iron structures by local resident Steven Clothier soon emerged and changed the landscape of the town.

In the early years of its renaissance, Tirau attracted antique collectors and bric-a-brac fans. Two decades on and the retail culture has expanded and diversified, and the town has also become a mecca for those in search of quality coffee. “You can get a good cup of coffee everywhere,” says Rural and Lifestyle Sales consultant, Steve Mathis.

There are 32 tubs available and a huge range of superior flavours to choose from, including a taste of Christmas.

Susan makes her own hokey and continually experiments with Kiwi favourite flavours. A Whittakers chocolate dip is a current extra.

Located at the top of the hill, La More Sweets is a must-stop destination. The shop, which is under new ownership, specialises in artisan candy and mouthwatering ice cream. One

The shop, which trades from 1 Okoroire Street, initially sold honey and a limited honey-based skincare range but has since expanded into a specialty shop offering a comprehensive range of bee products, giftware and honey ice-cream. “We’ve always kept to the honey theme,” says retiring owner, Robyn Faire, who believes product quality is essential.

Roar by Cecelia Ahern

QUIZ

New Books

Reviewed by Claire Robson

Thirty stories about thirty different women, and this book is one of the best things I have read for a very long time.

With short stories entitled ‘The Woman Who Slowly Disappeared’, ‘The Woman Who was Kept of a Shelf’, and ‘The Woman Who Returned and Exchanged Her Husband’ among others, this book is more than just a collection of short stories – it is a commentary on the experience of being a woman. It’s funny, clever and moving all at once and it’s no wonder Irish writer Cecelia Ahern – who also wrote PS I Love You – is regarded as a major

LUTHER

Taste Waikato

This is another one of those British crime dramas that I always knew I should watch but didn’t get around to until quite recently.

Idris Elba is fantastic as DCI John Luther, the cop on a mission that isn’t afraid to break the rules (quite a lot, as it happens). Very much of an ‘ends justifies the means’ mindset, Luther is obsessive, clever and sometimes violent. He’s a man on the edge, but the department needs him to get results – the usual story. What is unusual about Luther, though, is that it seems to have avoided coming across as too formulaic. The writing is gritty and sharp, the acting is outstanding, and the storylines pack enough punch to fend off any feelings of “here he goes again, breaking the law to get results, blah blah blah”.

There are four series available and they started shooting a fifth series earlier this year. I’m up to series four, and it just jumped in with a major plot development having taken place off camera in the break between seasons. At first I thought I might have missed an episode, but it’s quite a clever thing they are doing, piecing together what happened in the aftermath. I like it.

Series one has six episodes, while two and three both have four episodes and series four just has two episodes. So it’s not going to gobble your life up if you want to binge watch it, which is always a good thing.

This book is a delight of food from around the Waikato, with 80 recipes to delight the senses. It is also a fundraiser for Rotary and a thoroughly interesting read, with plenty of facts throughout to make this more than just a cookbook.

I decided to give the Extreme Choc Chunk Cookies a whirl over the weekend, and the kids were right on board with that. These cookies certainly live up to their name, and I had to squeeze the biscuit mixture around the chunks of chocolate to make the required shape – it was a case of the chocolate containing biscuit rather than the other way around. Not surprising given there were two big blocks of Whittaker’s chocolate in the mix. I was out of baking powder, so I had to use self-raising flour but that seemed to be fine.

My daughter, Molly, gave the biscuit a solid 12 out of 10, while my son, Declan, enthused that they were delicious. Particularly good warm, they thought. My biscuits don’t look as brown on top as the ones in the book, and next time I will squish the top down a bit with a fork, but they were a success nonetheless.

Taste Waikato is a lovely cookbook and should be on the Christmas list for all the foodies out there. n We have a copy to give away, just email your name and contact phone number to sophie@ cambridgenews.nz to get in the draw. Otherwise you can pick it up at Paper Plus or through the Rotary website.

Journalist Hayden Donnell tracked down the Big Fresh animatronic fruit and veges in his epic quest.

Get it to Te Papa

Produced by The Spinoff | Available on Lightbox

Get it to Te Papa is a quintessential Kiwi offering, with journalist Hayden Donnell travelling the country to track down icons of New Zealand’s not so distant past with the aim of getting them installed in our national museum.

First up, the rubber object that hit Steven Joyce in the face at Waitangi in 2016. Obviously, it had long since gone to the tip, but this still made for entertaining TV. Long-suffering producer José Barbosa is a bit of a gem, particularly in the reenactment of the incident, and there were a few laughs to be had. Next up, our intrepid historian went in search of the Big Fresh animatronic fruits and vegetables that loomed large in the childhoods of so many. Good times. I will definitely be tuning in to the next episode where Hayden tries to get the Huntly Deka sign down to Te Papa. I don’t really like his chances, but it should be interesting to find out more about the iconic sign and who currently owns it. There will be six in the series, with the Lets Gone Warriors sign (I had to Google this, apparently it’s a thing), a piece of Suzanne Paul’s memorabilia, and Auckland’s Giant Santa from Farmers that traumatised many of us attending the Santa parade as kids yet to come.

Check it out, it’s pretty funny.

literary talent. Each story in this collection will make you think, move you or make you laugh.

Or all three of those things. It’s called Roar because it’s about capturing the moment when we, as women, all want to roar – as in that epic Helen Reddy song of 1972. Get it for your mum, for yourself, for your friend…just make sure you read this book. It is being released next Monday, and I am assured it will be on the shelves at Cambridge Paper Plus.

Cambridge News has no copies of this book to give away, because it’s so good I’m keeping it (sorry).

Olive Cooper Le Quesnoy, and one in Japan (Bihoro). I think we should have them, it’s good for international relations.

This week we asked locals whether they know what Cambridge’s two sister cities are, and whether they think it’s worthwhile having them.

Kelly Raven What sister cities? Never heard of them. There are so many community-focussed projects that the money can be better spent on.

Raymond Willson There’s Le Quesnoy, not sure of the other one. I think it’s a waste of money, there are other priorities.

Quick crossword

Kevin Mayall Hannah Laycock We should have them, as it means I know about Le Quesnoy. I think we can remember our heritage and we should focus on Cambridge first, fallen soldiers with things like the before other places. war memorial museum.

Gina Colvin Le Quesnoy, no idea about the other one. Do people know about the cost, and are those sister city councils spending money here?

THE SCOTT DIXON STORY

Very stirring, hair-raising yet sad in parts, also engaging.

For non-motorsport fans, this achievement makes Scott the 2nd most successful IndyCar driver of all time and by a mile our most successful driver ever. He’s won Sportsman of the Year at the Halberg Awards twice – tied with Richie McCaw - and will be up again for the award early next year. Scott Dixon is one of the most successful New Zealanders ever. BORN RACER is the celebration of our local hero, and a chance for Scott to tell his story – how he’s got to where he has, from growing up in South Auckland, his parents risking

It goes behind the scenes to Scott’s close family unit, including his wife Emma and the incredible influence she’s had as a professional long-distance runner. It will appeal to much more than racing fans.

The film is an inspiration to

young New Zealanders, to families and mothers. Emma (like Gemma McCaw) will appeal very strongly to female audiences. BORN RACER will play well to audiences that saw CHASING GREAT, MCLAREN, THE WORLD’S FASTEST INDIAN and RUSH.

“I have seen this and think it is a very good film for Te Awamutu and surrounding areas, so, by special arrangement with Mark Chamberlain, we are VERY pleased to be able to show it here.” Allan.

It’s a powerful and moving coming of age, present-day western. It’s hard to imagine anyone watching Lean on Pete and not rooting hard for Charley’s wish to come true.
