Nielsen sets one-hour record

By Sophie Iremonger

All eyes were on the Avantidrome track on Friday evening as a crowd of 350 supporters cheered on Jaime Nielsen in the one-hour cycle challenge.

The Rio Olympic cyclist and Cambridge local was attempting to beat the sea level world record for an hour-long ride around a velodrome track – set at 46.882km

by Australian Bridie O’Donnell – and faced the daunting task of completing at least 188 laps of the 250m track.

“I am so happy it’s over, it was such a challenge,” Nielsen said after finishing with a total of 47.791km, 909m more than the sea level record set early last year.

“I knew it was realistic to get the sea level mark. It came down to counting the laps and at one stage I was counting half laps.

There were feelings that I had to overcome and I think the crowd helped me get through in the end.

“I had little patches when the

pain would build up but it was a matter of refreshing and getting back into my rhythm.”

Nielsen said she would love to give it another shot, but, “at this stage I am glad it’s over!”.

“I am stoked and I am satisfied.

I know I gave it all I can,” said Nielsen, who was only 189m off the current world record set at altitude in Colorado Springs last year by American Evelyn Stevens.

The 31-year-old set a steady pace throughout the one hour ride at the Avantidrome, reaching 23.740km at the halfway mark and 35.80kms at 45 minutes. As the “burn” really started to kick in, a surge of support from the crowd pushed Nielsen through the pain barrier to top O’Donnell’s mark and finish with 47.791km.

Nielsen will head to Europe in the coming weeks and hopes to gain selection for the UCI road world championships in the time trial, before returning to New Zealand to get back on the track in a bid to gain selection for next year’s Commonwealth Games.

Jaime Nielsen, overjoyed to have completed the ride, credited the crowd for helping her through.

New JP sworn in for Roto-o-Rangi

By Sophie Iremonger

Roto-o-Rangi local Kevin Monks was sworn in as a new Justice of the Peace (JP) at the Hamilton District Court recently.

At the ceremony on July 14, District Court Judge Garry Collin spoke of the long tradition of

community services provided by JPs, and mentioned Kevin’s great support for local organisations.

Kevin’s wife Gillian and two of his four adult children attended for the ceremony.

“It was good that my family could be there,” said Kevin, who was rather humble about the

whole thing. “It is a real honour to be taking on the role, but to be honest I don’t see what the fuss is about,” he laughed.

Kevin was asked by David Findlay, president of the Cambridge JP branch, if he would take up the position in the Roto-o-rangi district, following

the retirement of long-serving JP David Smith.

Having lived in Roto-o-Rangi since he was five years old, Kevin can certainly be considered a long-time local. He joins 31 other JPs in the Cambridge branch of the Waikato JP Association.

Marie Ardern and Keven O’Donnell No they shouldn’t, it’s just one “holey” day isn’t it. Why change it?

Jonathan Brown I definitely think the option should be there for businesses, I don’t see why people who aren’t religious should need to close.

Alan Milton Personally I would like the day to be a holiday, but with the society we live in that’s not really practical, so I think a good compromise would be to do what we do on Anzac Day, closed until midday. People don’t get up early on a Sunday anyway!

Another feather in cap for Cambridge Safer Community Charitable Trust The Cambridge Safer Community Charitable Trust (CSCCT) is a non-profit charitable organisation that has been part of the Cambridge community for a number of years, running the Neighbourhood Support network and being closely involved with the CCTV project and Civil Defence in Cambridge and its surrounding rural districts.

The CSCCT committee is made up of a number of wellknown local identities including Chairman Ian Hughes, treasurer Tony Gee and committee members Jocelyn Cooney, Richard Wright, Philip Coles, John Fisher, Rob Feisst, Judi Smythe, Gary Hodge and Neil Bridgland and NZ Police Prevention Constable Holly Warner.

The trust has recently taken over management of the newly formed Cambridge Community Patrols with Neil Bridgland being appointed the Chairman of the Patrols committee. Neil brings with him a wealth of experience and knowledge of the local community, having been in management roles for a number of years.

Since its inception the patrols – now 30 volunteers strong – have become a familiar sight around the town, especially during the hours of darkness where they go about patrolling our streets and helping to keep the community safe being an extra set of eyes and ears.

Neighbourhood Support continues to expand on its current network of 170 groups made up of urban and rural homes, local businesses and retirement villages.

Both Neighbourhood Support and Community Patrols work closely with the local Police, sharing information with our groups and providing our patrollers with directed

patrolling information for hot spot areas.

Recently we have seen a slight spike in burglaries in both urban and rural areas and it is a timely reminder to secure your homes and premises, lock your vehicles, remove valuables from sight, lock sheds and secure items such as motorbikes and trailers at all times when not in use.

Report any suspicious activity immediately including random visitors who may seem legitimate in their inquiries however noting registration numbers and brief descriptions of people can sometimes make all the difference when it comes to identifying and locating persons.

Community Engagement Officer for Neighbourhood Support, Deb Stinson is a part time employee of the CSCCT and is keen to hear from anyone who may be interested in forming or joining a Neighbourhood Support group.

Neighbourhood Support aims to make our homes, streets, neighbourhoods and communities safer and more caring places in which to live.

We gain strength with every individual, family, street and organisation who joins. Crime prevention is a community approach.

Neighbourhood Support and the Cambridge Community Patrols can be contacted via Facebook: https://www.facebook. com/Neighbourhood SupportCambridge/ via email: info@safercambridge.co.nz and through the new website www.safercambridge.co.nz or phone 07 827 6172 or 021 123 36547. To volunteer with community patrols email: patrols@safercambridge. co.nz.

Car forced off road in Karapiro

By Sophie Iremonger

Early weekend traffic slowed to a brief crawl just south of the Karapiro Mobil Station on Friday last week as emergency services directed traffic around a vehicle incident which left one car in a ditch.

Three cars were involved in a collision on SH1 just after midday on Friday July 21, which caused the rear vehicle, travelling north towards Cambridge, to plummet into the roadside ditch.

Though it sustained significant damage, the occupants, a female driver and two children, were not seriously injured.

An ambulance checked all persons at the scene and no injuries were reported. The incident occurred during a brief sunny break from the day’s showers.

This crash happened on SH1 near Karapiro. There were no serious injuries.

Letters to the editor

 things to do this weekend

“Check your plumbing” – how to, or are physically unable fields under their control to be to turn the toby off. It is important open on Sundays. In those days and your water toby!

The council has been installing new blue water meters and tobies, most are the smaller variety with a separate tap besides the meter, but some of us have larger ones with a water meter and valve all in one.

Beware – these types need to be checked out, because the valve is prone to sticking fast – as was the case with us when a pipe burst. With water gushing everywhere we rang the council (Friday June 9, just after 4pm) to be told that “everyone had knocked off for the day”, and no one could be contacted to come to our aid.

Thankfully our trusty Leamington plumber got to us within eight minutes. Had we waited 40 minutes for council to respond with a phone call, our house would have flooded.

I have met with the council begging them to inform the public of the potential danger of this all-in-one valve and meter, to no avail. Instead they are telling us to “check our plumbing” (in newspapers) – which is good, but also irresponsible when they know that some property owners have faulty tobies which are extremely difficult to turn off. This is just not good enough Waipa District Council!

Kay Rickman

Council responds: We apologise for not being able to respond immediately. A staff member did call back but a plumber was already on the way.

We have not been made aware of any other similar issue with these kinds of all-in-one tobies. If so we would have raised it just as we have with our concern around galvanised pipes. Nor do we think these are ‘faulty tobies’. If any toby was faulty, we would replace it. If anyone has a concern, please call us.

The vast majority of the callouts we receive are from people who either can’t find their toby, or when they do, either don’t know

Playhouse raffle supporting Cancer Society

OBITUARY

Joan Marie Hewitt If you met her you would never forget her.

At 96 she was as sharp as a tack, erudite, forthright and fiercely independent .

I knew Joan Hewitt when she first came to Cambridge. She was quietly destined to take Cambridge firmly in her stride, alongside her adored husband, Max Hewitt.

Suddenly deposited in a small country town, fresh from Wellington, and now a farmer’s wife, having explored the rest of the world, she settled in with the aplomb and confidence we came to expect from her.

This erudite and intelligent woman had been to Italy during the Second World War as a VAD (Volunteer Aid Detachment) member. Following this she worked as an educator/ambassador for the New Zealand Wool Board. She travelled the world and New Zealand talking about the positive aspects of wool.

Joan summoned me, a young mother with two daughters, because she wanted to discuss an idea she had. Summoned is the word you would use with Joan, a command more than a summons actually. She was concerned that young mothers had no way of having freedom to go shopping or have a coffee with a friend while their child played with other young ones.

This was 47 years ago and there was no childcare centres so this was really innovative thinking. Between us we established, with a small committee of young women, a service which continued for a long time .

It was held in The Cambridge Town Hall and Joan was the matriarch stalwart who monitored the coming and going of mother and children, babies too , who were fed and watered by

By Carole Hughes

the group who ran what was named ”Kiddies Corner.” Joan was enormously proud of this concept which was so successful and was copied by other towns who came to talk to her and the group about the idea. Joan always talked with pride about Kiddies Corner which only stopped when child care started to grow strong.

She eventually served on the Cambridge Borough Council for eight years , her common sense and highly intelligent and evocative stance on Cambridge local matters was well known and admired.

She stood out.

She challenged .

She studied for a BSc at Waikato University in her sixties and she was involved in Adult Literacy later in her life.

She cut the frills and she pushed herself to the limit, always. Her passions were her sister and her family, bridge and Lyceum, reading and keeping abreast with all the international and local current news.

She travelled extensively even into her eighties exploring the world and returning with treasures which she would talk about at length .

Immaculate dressed, a desire perhaps to be a better cook, always passionate about Cambridge, young people and education, she had a specific mission in life , to be fair and contained with dignity in everything she did.

If you had a problem and needed a level and unbiased point of view, she was the one to talk to, she would coolly listen and then look you in the eye and quietly give you measured advice which was always spot on.

If she read this, Joan would say in a very level manner in her beautifully moderated voice , “thank you dear.”

Self-defence class organised in wake of ‘stranger danger’

By Sophie Iremonger

Local sports organisations STM Fit and Fortitude Combat Sports plan to hold a selfdefence seminar this month following the increase in concern from Cambridge residents over ‘stranger danger’.

Fortitude Combat Sports coach Neil Fynn said they decided to organise the class, set for Saturday 29th July, after seeing a heightened level of concern amongst local people and suspicions of being followed or approached by strangers.

“All are welcome to attend

the seminar, there is no age, gender of fitness criteria,” Neil said. “Just anyone concerned for their personal or families’ security and wanting to be better equipped to live safely.”

Entry into the class is just $25.

Half of the funds raised from the class will go towards Victim

Support NZ. Neil Fynn said the idea of the class was similar to defensive driving. “Defensive driving is designed to make people smarter and safer drivers by assessing and identifying hazards to reduce the risk of being in a crash,” Neil

Sir Peter Blake award for Roto-o-Rangi student

explained. “The most important component of personal selfdefence is taking a ‘defensive living’ attitude, where you identify and assess hazards, and avoid them to reduce the chances that you will be a victim of a traumatic incident.”

At the seminar students will learn and discuss many ‘defensive living’ skills as well as ideas on attracting attention, calling for help and reporting incidents.

The seminar will also largely teach physical techniques and tricks to use if physical

confrontation is unavoidable.

“Dependent on the situation at hand these techniques could well discourage further attack, subdue an attacker or give you the ability to contain the situation until help arrives,” Neil said.

All participants simply need is to dress comfortably and bring a drink and snack. Numbers will be limited, to register for the class contact Erin-Monique O’Brien of STM Fit on 021 022 80417 or sign up on the “Self Defence for Cambridge” Facebook page.

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.

Tyla was bjoined by her whanau when she received the award.

Submitted by Roto-o-Rangi School

On the last day of the school term Tyla Wintle was awarded the Sir Peter Blake Young Leader’s Award at Roto-o-Rangi School. The award concluded the national Leadership Week held annually and is an integral part of the school’s programme: to foster and promote leadership amongst our youth.

Tyla was supported by her whanau as she received the award at a special school assembly. The boys in her class also wanted to show their respect and support of Tyla by performing a haka.

“The school’s motto of ‘Aim High’ is promoted at every opportunity, and this is just one of the ways we recognise someone’s outstanding achievement,” said Mr Donnellon, the school principal.

“Tyla is one of those people who epitomise what Sir Peter Blake did; the quiet, supportive leader who earned respect through actions rather than words.”

Along with the obligatory Red Socks, Tyla was presented with a book about Sir Peter Blake, a certificate, medallion and some other goodies. Major supporters of the programme are the Westpac bank, who supplied the gifts and were also inspirational speakers. The “Dream Team” visited senior classes to share their stories of leadership and achievement.

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.

St Kilda care home get up and dance

By Sophie Iremonger Bupa St Kilda held a rather exciting event for their care home residents last week, with Shall We Dance 2017. It’s an event which appears on the St Kilda calendar every year as a way to promote dancing for residents and their families, encouraging both social interaction and healthy aging.

This year the team of Bupa St Kilda staff organised a multi-cultural theme for the 2017 event, as a way to share some of the staff

members’ heritage and culture.

Some members of the team, ‘kiwis’ who were not New Zealand-born, presented cultural dances and musical performances from their homeland, including the Philippines, India and the Netherlands. Though they were a little nervous about performing, the dancers were met with rounds of applause from the crowd of residents, who had dressed in theme for the afternoon.

The performances were followed by a round of multicultural foods for afternoon tea.

Call goes out for Waipa memories Locals could win a prize pack worth more than $500 through a competition launched by Waipa District Council last week to draw out Waipa memories and help showcase the district’s heritage.

The competition encourages Waipa residents to share three memories about the district, including their best memory and something they used to love.

“Waipa has an incredible history and this is about remembering and celebrating our past and hopefully

prompting some conversations about where to next,” says communications manager Natalie Palmer.

Waipa mayor Jim Mylchreest said one of his fondest memories was of jumping on a free community bus from Waikeria each Friday night heading into Te Awamutu for a “big night out”.

“It was the highlight of our week. We went to one of the two picture theatres, saw a movie and afterwards ended up at the pie-cart in Walton Street – all for about five shillings,” he

said. “They were great times but it’s probably a good thing I don’t have a photo to share!”

The prize includes a family pass guided tour of Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari, dinner at a local restaurant, movie tickets and an Instax camera and film. Every entry received automatically goes into the draw.

The competition is being promoted through the council’s facebook site www.facebook. com/waipadistrictcouncil or www.futurewaipa.co.nz and closes in early August.

Chamber members Tommy Emmanuel to divided on Easter trading play in Hamilton

By Tania Witheford, CEO, Cambridge Chamber of Commerce The gap is widening in the Cambridge Chamber of Commerce (the chamber) poll about Easter Sunday Trading. The Chamber asked its members if ‘all retail outlets should be allowed to open on Easter Sunday’, as it prepares to make a submission to Waipa District Council (the council) on the controversial issue.

Under current rules, most shops cannot trade on Easter Sunday. The council is proposing to adopt a policy that would allow shops in Waipa to trade on Easter Sunday if they chose to. Shops could not be ‘forced’ to open. By law, all shop employees could refuse to work on Easter Sunday, without having to give a reason.

While the first answers to the chamber poll were pretty evenly split, in the last few days the gap has widened, with 59.6 per cent of the 105 respondents saying the council should allow all retail outlets to open on Easter Sunday.

The poll invited comments, and amongst those that said yes, Easter Sunday trading

should be allowed, it was clear they felt any decision to open should be made by each individual retailer.

40.4% of respondents argued that retailers should not have the option to open on Easter Sunday. Reasons for their view varied, but a common theme, along with religious aspects, was the importance of spending time with family,

and concerns for the welfare of employees.

Some mooted a compromise with stores opening from noon, as is the practice for Anzac Day. The chamber would like a simple realistic answer to Easter Sunday trading and will make its submission to the council before the consultation period ends on August 14.

Road cycling groups open to recruits Sport Waikato says the Waipa region is rich in fantastic cycling options for all different levels. “If you are looking for a road cycle ride that suits your needs then go to the one stop information shop and search all the listed rides on the Cycling NZ website ‘Find a Ride’, and join in on the fun,” says local coordinator Rebecca Foy.

Announcing the New Zealand Tour of Tommy Emmanuel, the acoustic guitar legend returns to New Zealand for four concerts only in September 2017.

Tommy has two Grammy nominations, two Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) Awards and repeated honours in the Guitar Player magazine reader’s poll. He has received several honorary degrees and shared a key moment with brother Phil on the world stage, including performing during the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games in Sydney.

He captivates his audience as one of the most outstanding solo performers you will ever experience with a unique style. Emmanuel frequently threads three different parts simultaneously into his material, operating as a one-man band who handles the melody, the supporting chords and the bass all at once. There’s a science to assembling the parts, and Emmanuel’s technical gift has earned him multiple awards including being awarded a Member of the Order of Australia. But the average fan could listen without even considering the precision behind the work, focusing instead on the artful tension and release of Emmanuel’s melodies. That’s how he intends it.

“I write as if I’m writing for a singer,” he explains.

“I don’t think, ‘Ah, it’s just a solo guitar piece.’ I try to imagine I’m playing with a band or with a singer, but then I play the whole thing as a solo piece and look for ways to give it space.”

Emmanuel was destined, perhaps, to become a world-class musician. Given his first guitar at age four, he started working professionally just two years later in a family band, the Emmanuel Quartet.

He and his brother Phil were dedicated students of the instrument, creating games that helped them identify chords and patterns. They became adept at picking out the nuances of complex chords, a talent that takes most musicians years to develop.

“When I play, I feel like I’m plugged into something,” he says. “I don’t know what it is, and I don’t really want to know. I just want to know that it’s there.”

Emmanuel’s technical precision, his virtuosic improvisations and his unusually broad repertoire, which encompasses not only country and bluegrass, but pop, jazz, blues, gospel, even classical, flamenco, and aboriginal styles, makes for one of the most enjoyable music experiences. You will not want to miss this opportunity.

Tommy Emmanuel releases his album ‘LIVE AT THE RYMAN’ on May 19. He plays at Claudelands, September 22 at 8pm. Book at Ticketek.

There were some really gritty stories to come out of Cambridge’s participation in the recent World Masters Games.

Two of them involve cyclists Rachael Sardelich and Reg Rye.

At 95, Reg still has more in his sights

By Viv Posselt

Reg Rye made history at the World Masters Games.

Aside from being the oldest New Zealand WMG competitor, he became the first person in the world, and the only one in his age group, to ride the 500m time trial, and the 2000m individual pursuit cycling events at the Avantidrome.

Although Reg turned 95 in June, weeks after the event, he was able to compete in the M 95+ category as age groups are determined by a competitor’s age as at December 31, 2017.

“I didn’t do the times I had hoped for, but that didn’t matter because I still made a world record.”

Reg ended up at the games because his trainer Mike van Enter – who is also manager at the Avanti Bike Shop at the Avantidrome – asked him if he’d like to become a world champ. Once past the “are you being serious” moment, Reg exercised his characteristic mix of caution and grit. “I asked a few people, including my GP, if I should do it, and then

decided to just go for it.”

He trained predominantly on his road bike, riding up and down his long tarseal driveway and on the roads around St Kilda. He kept up his gym training at the Avantidrome, pounding away on the exercycles, the he’d sit and chew the cud with Mike at the bike shop before heading home.

“This is my second home,” he admitted.

A founding and life member of the Cambridge Athletics and Harriers Club, Reg stopped cycling in the mid-1940s, but returned to it to fill a void left after he lost his wife Joy a few years ago.

“I came out here when the track was still unfinished, just to have a look. A couple of people in the foyer suggested I fill in a form, so I did.”

Later, coach Dean Foreman asked the then 91-year-old Reg if he wanted to have a go on the track.

“Dean had his hand on the bike that first time, but I finished up doing four laps. I

came back for more two days later. That led me to meeting up with Mike and buying a bike, really just to keep fit and give me something to do.”

From those inauspicious beginnings to the Masters Games and a world champion title…through it all Reg has boosted his fitness and found friendship and satisfaction through cycling.

And there’s no stopping him yet. Reg has his eye on the next World Masters Games in Japan in four years’ time, and is currently training to beat the record set by a 105-year-old Frenchman to ride 22.5km in one hour.

“I’m looking at doing 2830km; I’ll know when I’m ready.

I will keep going until I can’t do it anymore, and I like having something to work towards.”

PICTURED RIGHT: Reg Rye, 95, wearing the medals he collected at the World Masters Games, with his good mate and trainer, Mike van Elder.

WMG delivers highs and lows for Rachael

By Viv Posselt

Rachael Sardelich’s participation in the recent World Masters Games (WMG) turned out to be uplifting in one way, and disappointing in another.

The Cambridge cyclist already had several sizeable events under her belt, and knows how these things work. She had put in a lot of hard training in preparation for what she considered one of her biggest yet, and was buoyed by the surge of support from a home crowd when she rode in the Avantidrome-based cycling WMG events.

Success in earlier races led her into a race-off for the bronze medal in the women’s sprint against Australian rider Megan Stevens.

“I won that, but was then relegated because I came out of the sprint lane towards the end of the race. It was devastating for me,” she said. “I went from having the most amazing feeling to the worst feeling possible in a short space of time. But in the end, that’s life. It is what it is, and it’s just going to make me work harder.

It’s not going to stop me.”

Rachael had even done a victory lap before she was relegated. The official explanation given was that

CAMBRIDGE NEWS | 11

SPORT

FRIDAY, JULY 28, 2017

she had “not held her line during the last 200m of the race”. Megan was pronounced winner of the bronze, and a bruised Rachael moved into fourth place.

Despite it, Rachael views her WMG participation as positive. She beat her personal bests, “did way better than I had expected”, and absolutely loved the atmosphere.

“It was incredible. I would never have believed I would be riding in the Masters Games in the first place.

It has made me – and my family – very proud.”

Rachael is no stranger to the demands of competitive sport. She entered various triathlons before moving more seriously into cycling once the Avantidrome was built.

“We bought a track bike and tried the Have a Go sessions. The adrenalin from that was unbelievable. I was hooked from the start.”

Her new-found passion spread through the family. Daughters Nina and Aimee are regular track cyclists, and husband Glenn provides whatever mechanical and other support is needed.

“We have all met the most amazing people through cycling.”

The family ride the Avantidrome

track several times a week, and enjoy only spurred her on for more of the social rides. The thrill of those “big same, and Rachael will be back in the few days of racing” at the WMG has competitive saddle before too long.

Double derby win takes club to top of two leagues

By Josh Easby, Cambridge Football Club

A winning double at Matamata has seen Cambridge go top of both the WaiBOP Premiership and Championship football competitions.

The Cambridge first team won their eighth match in a row, beating Matamata Swifts 2-1, to go top of the Loaded WaiBOP Premiership for the first time this season. In the earlier game at Matamata Domain,

Toyworld Cambridge 37 VICTORIA STREET

Williams Café

Cambridge’s second team strolled to a 5-0 victory with all the goals coming in the first half.

Cambridge knew they would face a determined Matamata side in the premiership derby, having faltered against their rivals in recent seasons. So it was, as Matamata took the lead after 21 minutes when Bradley West was brought down in the Cambridge area and Jamie Baxter scored from the penalty spot.

Cambridge have made it a habit this season of starting slowly but finishing their first half strongly. With only a minute to go to the interval, 19-year-old Daniel Clarkin scored his first premiership goal for Cambridge to level when the Swifts failed to clear from a corner. Ten minutes into the second spell, Clarkin scored his second goal to put the visitors ahead.

That’s how the scoreline remained and despite a tense finish, the result meant Cambridge went top of the league for the first time this season.

Considering the team was languishing four places off the bottom only a couple of months ago, the run of winning form has given Cambridge a real chance to regain the regional title it last won in 2015.

Cambridge has 31 points, one ahead of Waikato Unicol whose match against fifth-placed Taupo was postponed because of a waterlogged ground. Both sides have played 14 fixtures.

In the Championship, Cambridge regained top spot with their 5-0 win at Matamata.

Goalscorers were Callum MacLeod (2), Levi Clark, James Cakebread and an own goal.

Cambridge have 33 points, two clear of Unicol, with both sides having played 14 matches. The title race is between this pair as Otumoetai and Tokoroa trail seven and eight points behind, and with the Bay side having played two games more.

The weather prevented Cambridge’s women’s first team from pushing forward their efforts to win the WaiBOP Women’s Premier League. Their

home game against Melville United’s development side was postponed (until early September) when weekend rain left John Kerkhof Park waterlogged.

The Waikato A and B teams had byes, as did the club’s youth teams. In the Waikato D division, Cambridge’s D1 and D2 teams battled out a 0-0 draw. After distruptions caused by weather, byes and school holidays, all the club’s senior and youth teams return to action this coming weekend.

John Kerkhof Park will host three key matches on Saturday, all of which will have a bearing on end-of-season titles. In the Loaded WaiBOP Premiership, Cambridge will meet Melville United, needing all three points for the Reds to continue their push for title honours. The

game kicks off at 2.45pm.

In the early game at 12.30pm, Cambridge play fourthplaced Tokoroa in the WaiBOP Championship, and a win will certainly help the side’s claims for the title.

The Waikato B team also play at home, facing divisional leaders Claudelands Rovers B2 Squatters. The 12.30pm match is important for both teams as three points will reinforce Rovers’ lead and spoil Cambridge’s hopes of staying in the chase.

However a win to Cambridge would turn the rest of the season into a four-way battle for the title. On Sunday, the women’s unbeaten first team press their WaiBOP Premier League title claims with a trip to Whakatane Town’s Rex Morpeth Park (kick off 12.30pm).

It was nice to see several teams from outlying clubs taking part and providing stiff opposition. The next tournament is scheduled for Sunday July 30.

Cambridge golf The “Veteran’s” (men 55+ and women 50+) weekly Tuesday round, July18.

The vets day was changed to Wednesday last week, because the course was closed for the Waikato Age Group Champs on Monday and Tuesday. This meant the vets had to tee-off behind the ladies 9-hole and 18-hole groups and with a little cooperation all rounds of golf were completed before the rain came in.

Playing the course as it was set up for the previous day’s champs, with hole placements and super quick greens, was reflected in the scores. Denys Allen topped the leader board with 39 stableford points,

followed by Mick Callender on 38 and Peter Beetham and Bill Macky on 37 points. More than half the field scored within four points of the leader.

Gary Bennett was the only player to score a two and Don Campbell holed-out with three shots to win the 9th hole competition. John Nesbit won the 18th hole competition with a very long putt from the edge of the green, uphill on the slick green. Well done John.

The women’s group (weekly Wednesday and Saturday rounds) recent report: The 18 and 9 hole ladies played their 5th LGU nett competition on July 19. Barbara Godfrey was the top scorer

for the 9-hole division with a nett 34. Barbara was also a Stableford winner with 20 points, followed by Lesley Wilkinson and Marion Peterson on 19, then Kerry Johnstone and Sue Field with 18. The 18 hole ladies also played the first round of the Jessie Thompson Salver. LGU division winners were Leslea Haggie 72 nett, Julie Redgate 71 and Pauline McGlade 74.

Saturday was rather wet so the ladies sensibly retired to the comfort of a local café in preference to battling the elements. Next Wednesday is our annual mid-winter closed tournament with everyone taking home a small prize.

Sport Waikato holiday programme successful

By Sophie Iremonger

Sport Waikato has reported its two school holiday programmes held over the recent term break were a resounding success with 60 children getting exposed to a great variety of sports and activities.

The programmes, which ran over two days during the last week of the school holidays, gave kids the chance to try out a range of sports-tasters, from bowls and badminton through to volleyball and “get set go” – a combination of athletics and ball skills.

“The successful combination was a well-planned formula of our experienced Sport Waikato energizers, KiwiSport high school team leaders and our KiwiSport regional volleyball leader,” explained Sport Waikato’s Waipa District coordinator, Rebecca Foy. Any locals who are interested in sport options in the Waipa area are encouraged to contact Rebecca Foy via email: Waipa@sportwaikato.org.nz or visit www.

The many faces of Paul M

For the most part, he’s probably best known in these parts as Paul Murphy the Cambridge Brass Band secretary, or Paul Murphy

By Viv Posselt Few would realise there are other narratives attached to Paul, layers linking him to a different type of brass altogether and to ground-breaking changes in government policy around social issues.

The first of those is Paul ‘Spud’ Murphy the naval man…the Cantabrian lad who joined the Royal New Zealand Navy in his teens and became one of the youngest to pilot a 2500 tonne frigate, the twenty something who played pirates with Chinese orphans, recovered bodies from the sea, and squired royalty and dignitaries at glittering functions.

That would be the Paul who has seared into his memory the

That British passenger-cargo liner, which had served as the Royal Yacht for Queen Elizabeth’s 1954 tour to New Zealand, had been midway between Bluff and Panama when disaster struck.

“You could see right through it, bits of her like a skeleton silhouetted against the sun.

There were still flames visible…

I’ll never forget that sight.”

He took on the role as commanding officer of a fisheries patrol craft, just six

months shy of his 21st birthday. “I was legally too young to drink or go to the pub, but I could order as much duty-free booze as I liked and I could arrest people,” he says, flashing his trademark grin.

Paul’s chequered life didn’t start and end with the navy.

He went on to carve out a completely different life, one in which he became a doctor of philosophy focused on conducting multi-million-dollar research projects and leading innovative policy-making.

So, for the Christchurchborn boy with deep military roots, things turned out really rather well – long before there was a miniature train or even a trumpet in sight.

Paul with one of the miniature houses he makes as scene-setters for model railway layouts.

His family service roots were extensive. Paul’s greatgrandfather had been in the Crimea, his grandfather was in the naval battalion during the relief of Peking (now Beijing) in the Boxer Uprising dramatized in the movie “55 Days in Peking”.

An uncle was in HMNZS Leander in World War II, and his father was an air force man. Aunts and uncles saw service or were military wives, so when Paul left home after leaving St Bede’s College, and was accepted into just the second year of naval cadets to be trained in New Zealand, there was pride, yet no surprise.

After his initial training, he went to sea and was promoted to sub-lieutenant. It was around then, with his bridge watchkeeping certificate under his belt, that he was permitted to ‘drive’ that frigate.

“The captain wouldn’t give me my certificate before my 20th birthday, because he refused to have a teenager drive his frigate.

That was in Hawaii, with the Pacific fleet. When I was 20 and one week, I drove that frigate out of Pearl Harbour.”

When in Hong Kong, Paul helped direct sailors doing community projects, one of which involved an orphanage.

While those at home lent support by collecting kids’ clothing, Paul and his crew dressed up as pirates and threw onboard tea parties for the orphans.

There were clearly other attractions, too. “I fell in love everywhere I went…it was

awful. But it was a pretty good life.”

He was onboard during fleet exercises off the Philippines when the Australian light aircraft carrier HMAS Melbourne collided with the American destroyer, the USS Frank E. Evans in June 1969.

More than 70 sailors died; a joint Australia-US inquiry later found both ships had been at fault. Paul was about to take over the watch on the bridge when news came through that Melbourne had been hit.

“I watched the front half of USS Evans sink. It is one of my most powerful memories.”

Naval life broadened to include a spell navigating an oceanographic survey ship, and as an air traffic control officer for the helicopters aboard a frigate. He travelled the world and clocked up some extraordinary memories, one of which was in Guam in 1969 where he watched lines of American planes coming back from bombing Hanoi during the Vietnam War. He says the US lost 10 per cent of its naval air crew on every deployment.

At around 25, Paul came ashore as assistant naval provost marshall, in charge of

Murphy…

y the bloke with a thing for miniature trains. naval police at the Auckland naval base. He discovered a penchant for law and did a detective’s course at the police college, where a sympathetic Paul brought less fortunate classmates back to his billet at the officer’s mess at Trentham for some upmarket fare.

Part of his role was planning cocktail parties, dinners and receptions.

He organised security for a visit by the Tongan king and at contentious Waitangi commemorations and Springbok Tour protests, and was part of the planning team for the Queen’s 1977 Jubilee Tour. His life was a curious mix of trawling through a “black book” to find suitable ladies as guests at formal functions, and choreographing a delicate dance of diplomacy to ensure neither side in any disagreement was seen to be losing face.

Paul was also busy doing advocacy work around naval personnel services, little knowing at the time how well it would dovetail with the plethora of skills he was gathering.

After retiring from the navy as a lieutenant commander in 1988, he enrolled at Victoria University to do a BA degree majoring in social policy and sociology. An early assignment called on students to design a service; Paul’s offering ended up going to parliament and becoming policy, and the university employed him to do research and tutoring work.

A visit to Perth as he approached the end of his degree saw him offered a postgraduate research opportunity at the University of Western Australia, and after returning to New Zealand briefly, he and wife Dianne

Increasingly buoyed at the prospect of effecting social policy change, he was seconded to the family court of Western

It’s on agaIn... saturday, aug 19

Australia to lead a collaborative team to evaluate what was called the Columbus Pilot Project – an innovative programme on how to better manage family court cases involving family violence and child abuse. By then he was Dr Paul Murphy, a postdoctoral scholar at Edith Cowan University in Perth, and a man who had worked as a facilitator in post-separation parenting and stepfamily education programmes for 15 years.

Those years had seen him do extensive research around various social topics, including on life skills for youngsters leaving state care, youth suicide, poverty in stepfamilies, parenting programmes, family law reform, and issues faced by ageing homosexuals – ‘greying gays’, he calls them.

The list of research reports, publications and conference

Rugby • Netball Tug of war • Entertainment After party and much more

papers attributed to Paul is impressive, as is the significant dollar value put on his research grants and awards over the years.

Much of his work has gone on to become policy, and he has travelled internationally to talk to those topics.

All of that now belongs in his past, he says. When Paul and Dianne came home in 2009, it was to Christchurch initially to help look after Paul’s parents.

After they died, the couple moved to Cambridge having been dislodged by the February 2011 earthquake.

“That has still not been resolved.”

Once here, it didn’t take the retired Paul long to find his niche as secretary of the Cambridge Brass Band, and to help steer the Cambridge model railway group – the Greater Waikato

Railway Modellers. It’s in these roles he is known locally – as well as supporting the equally intricate work done by Dianne as a member of the local quilting group.

Their endeavours will combine in early September when the quilters and miniature dolls house group will join the miniature train enthusiasts at an expo in the Cambridge Town Hall aimed at showing the range of skills and expertise that can be developed by just having fun.

As for that military family lineage? While the couple’s two boys and two girls clearly display some of their parents’ affinity for detail and precision, none has joined the military.

But who knows – the trend could re-surface somewhere among their five grandsons and one granddaughter.

Time will tell.

This facility offers the perfect opportunity to do all of the above and is tailored to suit Cycling the Avantidrome was a first for Amanda Abbott, Rebecca every level. Give it a go!

Foy and Jo Davies-Colley.

By Rebecca Foy, Sport Waikato

It was a first for most on Friday evening and for me and many others it was something we had wanted to do for a long time– cycle the Avantidrome.

Together Sarah Ulmer and I went about getting a neat group of women together for an extraordinary experience: riding around this world class facility on a fixed wheel bike without breaks!

As our coach Meshy from Cycling NZ got our groups moving around the track, confidence was gained and a group of complete novices supported each other.

There was laughter, fear and moments of shaking with pure adrenaline as each new skill and height off the ‘apron’ was accomplished.

I am thrilled that on our doorstep in Waipa there is an accessible, affordable, adrenaline producing, G-force creating, fun activity for all to enjoy in our community.

New friendships and networking opportunities were made post-session.

How long should I be sore after my workout?

Whilst it is normal that you might have muscle soreness after an effective workout, this should only last a couple of days. It’s called DOMS – delayed onset muscle soreness – and usually tells you you’ve done something to push your muscles beyond every day stress, which is a good thing, as then they adapt and so get stronger. If it goes on longer, check you were hydrated enough, fuelled enough and got enough sleep to optimise the benefits of pushing yourself otherwise it’s the kind of stress you don’t need. Also bear in mind that if that soreness is continually in the same set of muscles there may be weaknesses or injury that needs more specific attention from a physio or trainer.

How often should I change my training routine?

This depends on what you’re training for. If it’s a specific sport with a specific set of needs, usually that means working on the same set of movements or the same mode of training for months at a time to get the best cross over benefit to the sport.

If you’re not training for a competitive sport and simply want to be functionally fit and healthy, there’s nothing to say you can’t do something different every week – in fact, we make this a rule at Storey Sport for our non-athletes; constant variety usually means it’s more enjoyable and so easier to stick at.

Eighteen Cambridge trampers did not have to travel far recently for an enjoyable day out. The David Johnstone Pukemokemoke Bush Trust is situated along the south western side of the Taupiri Range, a 40-hectare remnant of the lowland forest which once covered much of the North Island. At the Highway 1B roundabout we saw a very long bridge beam being carefully manoeuvred through the confined space destined for a nearby rail over bridge. Our first stop was at the reserve entrance to cleanse our boots thoroughly, for this was kauri country. Passing through a grove of mahoe, a raucus flock of minah birds greeted us from above the canopy. We reached the new board walk created to protect the roots of the flourishing kauri trees and tailor-made for the terrain.

Building it must have been a challenge, especially installing the many piles required –

“did they use mini post hole borers?” we speculated. The differing tree barks were quite distinctive but the totara bark with its many practical uses by humans really impressed us. At the lookout atop the northern boundary we could see the entire rim of the central Waikato basin above the mist.

Back in the cars our boots on plastic mats we then travelled to the well known cemetery car park. For some the Taupiri mountain climb was a first, rewarding them with lunch on the unexpected picnic table at

the summit and another view of the lower Waikato basin.

Below in the Urupa the notice advised no food, no drinking, no smoking and no tourists permitted. After a quick tidy up we headed for the Hoppin Stoppin Cafe for a welcome coffee, food fix or ice cream beside the ever flowing mighty Waikato river.

Our next tramp is on Sunday July 30 to Sainsbury Rd, Pirongia, led by Helen from Te Awamutu. Please contact Carol on 827 8260 or 027 284 7670 for information.

Telford has finished up the Dillon, who is the son of latest round of the Italian champion New Zealand National Trophy 1000 Superbike superbike rider Bruce Telford, is Championship with the best just one of two New Zealanders result the Telford Racing team taking on 45 top Italian and has achieved so far in the highly Spanish racers throughout competitive superbike field, moving from their hard-earned the 6-month championship, start position in 27th place and most of which have been in the sport since the legal age edging into the top 20.

“Now are now only 2 seconds of 4 and have spent endless hours familiarizing themselves off the top pack,” Dillon said.

“This was an amazing weekend with the championship tracks, meanwhile Dillon started the for the team and our best sport at the NZ legal age of 13 outcome yet, we still have

and was only just introduced to a handful of the Italian tracks when he arrived for the championship!

Dillon did get the chance to try out the Mugello track heading into the competition, where the latest round was held this month.

At a cost of $516NZD per day of practice on top of usual running costs, and with a very tight budget, it’s quite impressive to see the local racer come away with such a top result, especially considering the 25 year old came down with

a virus just a few days out from competition!

“We’re competing against the top 10 race teams in World Superstock or World Supersport and this round we had World Supersport top racer Christian Gamerino in our open class, and even a full WSBK Honda!”

During the qualifying

rounds, advice from Dave Moss, suspension legend, and the Nuova M2 Aprilia team, who have riders achieving excellent race times on superior bikes, gave the Telford Racing team some valuable tips for fine tuning their performance on the track.

“They opened their little

book of secrets and gave us some insane geometry set up that they said would work. We had nothing to loose, and only seconds to gain… and gain we sure did! Their advice dropped our times by two seconds a lap instantly, we were able to drive out on the exit and the Aprilia Continued next page

Combining luxury interiors with advanced safety and driver’s technology, the all new Civic Hatch is set to put the class back into this class. www.honda.co.nz

Dillon finished with a time of 1.56.90 in the second qualifying round.

“All the Italians we’ve spoken to were actually rather

impressed that we did 1.56 on our 1st race weekend ever on the track, like its hard or something,” Dillon laughed.

“We still know where we are losing up to two seconds a lap so once we can master that part

of the technical track we hope to be inside the top 10 there.

Its not an unachievable goal, it just requires a lot of factors to come together and hard work, nothing that we are shy of!”

Starting off in 27th on the

grid of 42, the team were hoping for a better position, “but with our competitors using qualifying tyres and race fuel to do one hot lap, and due to funds we are not, we are where we are, and we did the best we have ever done, so we are happy, of course at the front would be better but that will come.”

“Being on row 9 didn’t deter us, as Dillon is a freak at starts,” added Jo Taylor, the Telford racing team’s mechanic and Dillon’s girlfriend. “Every time on a start Dillon can pass a number of bikes off the line, up to turn one.

During the first race day’s 10-lap race Dillon passed 7 riders up to turn one, then 2 more by turn 3 to be in 18th position. Then some riders hit oil on the track and wrote their bikes off, so the race was red flagged to pick up the damages and clean up the oil. “We hoped we calculated it correctly to have enough fuel in the tank for an extra 4 laps and a full race restart,” explained Jo. “We were thankful we did, and the low fuel light came on on the last corner of the last lap! Stress full times for both of us hoping the fuel would last 62 kms.

“Relief and excitement was overwhelming as Dillon passed the chequered flag in 21st position, after a hard 10 lap tussle with 6 riders fighting for

18th to 23rd position.”

Dillon was pleased but disappointed to have been robbed of a place inside the top 20, “due to us choosing the wrong compound of tyre for the race,” said Jo. “We hadn’t expected the track to heat up as quickly as it did, the red flag delay didn’t help our situation, but with the lack of grip from the SC1 rear at 40 degree track temp, we did remarkably well and know we can do even

better there in September when the championship returns to Mugello with the advice and track knowledge help from the Aprilia team.”

“We are very proud of the team and all their hard work they put in on the weekend, and all the support from everyone back home,” Dillon said.

Civic Choir coming to Cambridge LIDO CINEMA

Hamilton Civic Choir is currently touring the wider Waipa area in an attempt to spread the group’s highly acclaimed concerts to a wider audience. Next Sunday, August 6, the choir comes to Cambridge, performing in the ever-popular venue of St Andrews Church.

Musical Director (and former St Peter’s School student) Timothy Carpenter said the choir had been trying a few variations of its usual format in anticipation of the tour. “The choir is so capable and I want to extend the repertoire, the collaboration and the availability of the choral experience to a wider audience. We’ve got a three-concert series planned – touring to Cambridge and Te Awamutu in August and here in Hamilton to help the Museum celebrate 30 years at the Grantham St site in October.”

The choir is in great voice and will really enjoy performing in neighbouring towns. The choir will be accompanied by Te Awamutu native and renowned pianist Francis Cowan, who is looking forward to returning to St Andrew’s Church with its wonderful early 20th Century architecture.

Choir Chairperson Sally Rosenberg explained the title of the concerts series, “5, 4, 3, 2, 1”, reflected the line-up of the songs that would be performed.

“Our music sub-committee was looking for a common thread to literally string some favourite and some new pieces together. The idea of having five pieces from two composers, four pieces from another two and so on means we’ve got some great challenges for the choir to learn and love the music. From Tippett’s “Five Negro Spirituals” to Eric Whitacre’s “Animal Crackers” through to “Wairua tapu”, which we are delighted to have permission to sing, means we have new music, older music, music from differing cultural heritages and music representing a wide time scale and geography of composers.”

The Te Awamutu concert takes place at St John’s Church, 2pm on Saturday, August 5, and the Cambridge concert takes place on Sunday, August 6, at 2pm. Tickets are available at the door, $20 for adults or $10 for seniors and students, school-age children free.
