In a classic case of turkeys not wanting to vote for Christmas, the Waipā District Council is looking likely to add a seat to the council and the community board in time for next year’s local body elections. They are doing this to comply with the electoral act, which demands a review of the council’s make up every six years.

Which is fine, but I can’t help but wonder why this decision will ultimately rest with the people it most directly affects – the councillors themselves.

I realise they have consulted widely with the community, but it still seems a bit weird to me that they are going to vote on whether or not their own ranks will be thinned.

Also this week, New Zealand marked 125 years of women’s suffrage. I think it’s a good time to reflect on how lucky we are to have a democracy* and how we really need to exercise these democratic rights at every chance we get. You only have to look overseas to see what happens when you don’t get out and vote, with America seeing the black voter turnout rate drop to 59.6 per cent at the 2016 election, the lowest in 20 years, while Latino voter turnout was just 47.6 per cent of registered voters. Might be interesting to check back with some of the people who didn’t vote and see how things are going for them over there. Likewise, it’s important to vote in local body elections, which

traditionally have a low voter turnout, because council is responsible for spending $1.27 billion of our money over the next 10 years. I would say we all have a vested interest in who is doing the spending and what they are spending it on, wouldn’t you? *Please don’t contact me with any conspiracy theories about how democracy is a front for the people really in power, I’m not in the mood.

Editor The government's new plan for transport is bad news for South Waikato and Cambridge.

Petrol prices are skyrocketing around the country and the Government is proposing three rounds of tax increases, as well as legislating the regional fuel tax so it can be rolled out across New Zealand in a few short years.

At the same time the Government has cut $5 billion from building regional roads. Instead that money will now shift to funding a tram in Auckland.

For South Waikato and Cambridge this means a project our community was relying on is now less likely to get built as the Cambridge to Piarere extension did not feature in the recent National Land Transport Programme.

I have presented my petition to Parliament so that the government knows our community’s priority is the Cambridge to Piarere extension which National planned and was underway before the Labour-led Government put it on hold.

The Waikato Expressway has reduced travel times and congestion – not progressing the extension will mean longer, less reliable journey times and more deaths and serious injuries.

There have already been too many precious lives lost on the stretch of State Highway between Cambridge and Piarere.

Louise Upston Taupō (abridged) Editor I agree wholeheartedly with departing Defence Force boss Lieutenant-General Tim Keating, who believes that those people who put their lives at risk to serve the people need to be acknowledged.

Recently New Zealand firefighters and soldiers returned from overseas after assisting to fight fires, but little recognition was given to them. Top sportspeople are continually being recognised by many members of the public, but they can hardly be called heroes because their lives are not at risk.

Firefighters, the military and police are the true heroes.

Daffodil Day- Thank you, Cambridge With an unofficial target this year of $20,000, I was thrilled when Cambridge stepped up and we raised $20,713 in this year’s appeal. This could not have been achieved without the help and support of the local businesses, the community and volunteers. Unfortunately, I cannot list the over 100 volunteers who made this event happen but know I am truly grateful to you all, none of this is possible without you and I hope to see you all and more next year.

I would like to show my enormous gratitude and appreciation to the following groups and individuals: Our daffodil suppliers – your work and generosity for this event is astounding.

The businesses that allowed us to have sites outside their premises – thank you.

The convenors of the sites – Michael Coles, Bev and Ken Buckley, Noelene Kidd, Macy Benjamin, The Fat Bottomed Girls, Rotary, Grey Power and Cambridge Lions – you are all amazing!

Cambridge Market and my ladies who ran that site all day – can’t wait to see you back next year!

Fred Hansen for the huge responsibility of sorting and counting all the money we collected.

Jo Stephenson for your knowledge, experience and logistical help on the day I am so grateful.

Simmone Fletcher – I would have not been able to do this without your help, support and knowledge.

My friends and family, up to and on the day - thank you so much.

More eyes are on the way Waipā District Council is to install a $240,000 video monitoring system (VMS) to help keep the community safe. The decision at Tuesday’s Service Delivery Committee approved the installation of seven cameras at key intersections in Cambridge, with six to be set up in Te Awamutu.

The 13 cameras will be installed as early as November, and footage will be monitored at the Te Awamutu police station by police and a team of vetted volunteers. As well as crime prevention, the cameras will monitor traffic at major intersections. Because of this, the New Zealand Transport Agency will chip in $70,000, while the council pays $170,000 to install the extra eyes around town.

Waipā Mayor Jim Mylchreest said the cameras would be an asset to the community.

“My hope is that we see a real savings in graffiti and vandalism costs and our communities feel safer knowing that unacceptable behaviour is now being monitored.”

“The cameras will pan between busy pedestrian areas and roads, meaning the video coverage is not limited to one particular direction. One camera will be stationed on the Victoria Street Bridge in Cambridge to monitor traffic flow on this critical road,” explained council’s roading manager Bryan Hudson. Before the cameras are installed a policy will be developed to outline how long the images are kept for, who can request images and other details that are governed by the Privacy Act. The seven Cambridge cameras will be installed in these locations: Victoria St/Hamilton Rd intersection, Victoria St/Queen St intersection, Victoria St/Alpha St intersection, Victoria St/Duke St intersection, Victoria Bridge (high-level bridge), Pope Tce, and the Shakespeare St/Cook St roundabout.

The notorious high-level bridge will be getting a video monitoring system installed, one of seven locations around Cambridge getting cameras as soon as November.

The bikers gathered outside the Town Hall before travelling over to Te Awamutu, finishing up in Hamilton where they held a family fun day and Hui. The ride was designed to promote the church’s 15-week Man Up programme for men and their Legacy programme for women.

the first self-governing country in the world in which all women could vote in Parliamentary elections. In most other democracies, including Britain and the United States, women did not get that right until after the First World War. Despite being given the vote, women were not allowed to stand for Parliament until 1919 and the first female Member of Parliament (Elizabeth McCombs) was not elected until 1933 – 40 years after the introduction of women’s suffrage. Taupō MP Louise Upston – New Zealand’s 108th female MP – said we have come along way since the first female MP was elected, “but there is still more work to be done to ensure gender equality.”

“New Zealand Parliament now boasts the highest proportion of women in its history. With the recent return of West Coast-Tasman list MP Maureen Pugh and the

swearing in of Wellington Central list MP Nicola Willis, the proportion of female MPs has now grown to 40 per cent.

Jenny Shipley was our first female Prime Minister and our current Prime Minister is a great example of how women are more than capable of grabbing opportunities and running with them,” Louise said.

To commemorate the

125th anniversary, the Cambridge town clock and Te Awamutu library will be bathed in purple light until September 25.

Purple is a colour strongly associated with the suffrage movement, which was led in New Zealand by Kate Sheppard – who now features on New Zealand’s $10 note in honour of her role in women getting the vote.

The Town Clock will be sporting a purple hue until September 25, in commemoration of the 125th anniversary of women’s suffrage in this country.

Rats to get the boot

By Claire Robson

Just in time for Conservation Week, Predator Free Cambridge was out and about laying four trap lines around Lake Te Kō Utu on

Bella Russell, 15, with the first rat caught in the newly-installed traps.

Saturday. With two lines around to the top of the lake’s reserve and two around the bottom, rats will have 45 traps spaced out around the lake to choose from – a move that should ensure they will not be decimating the native birds that nest there in the summer.

Each trap is housed in a wooden box with mesh on either end and a hole for the rat to enter. The traps are baited with peanut butter, which organiser Peter Russell said, “works a treat on rodents.”

The construction of the boxes, which are screwed shut, means the bait and dead rats will be out of the weather and avoids the possibility of curious children or pets being injured by the traps inside.

Peter and his daughter, Bella Russell (15), baked a rat cake for the occasion, which was welcome sustenance for the ten volunteers who turned out to place the boxes and install the traps around the lake.

Predator Free Cambridge kicked off around a year ago, but Peter said it has really taken off in the past six months as more sponsors have got onboard.

The group has also received a grant from the Department of Conservation (DoC) to work with schools and early childhood centres, aiming to get in at the grass-roots level with the younger generation as the country moves towards its predator-free goal of 2050, he added.

Predator Free Cambridge has the goal of one trap in every five backyards across Cambridge, which Peter said is the standard for predator-free organisations nationwide.

The group thanked New World Cambridge for the peanut butter, Bunnings Warehouse New Zealand for spray paint and stencils for marking the boxes and Coffee Club for providing coffee to volunteers after Saturday’s working bee.

Forty five traps have been laid around Lake Te Kō Utu, which Predator Free Cambridge hopes will curb the rat population to allow native birds to flourish.

Tree planting milestone reached Lake Karapiro was the site of the 100,000th native tree planted by the Waikato River Trails Trust, which has been carrying out the planting work along Waikato River since 2006.

To celebrate this achievement, last week a Kahikatea was planted a few metres from the lake, which is at the northern end of the trail. Waikato River Trails Trust General Manager Glyn Wooller said the milestone was a reflection of the role the trust plays as custodian of a quarter of New Zealand’s longest river.

“The new biodiversity corridor that has been created often replaces weeds such as blackberry

and broom and also acts as a filter taking nutrients into the trees which helps clean up the Waikato River. With over 44,000 people using the trails in the last 12 months, the results of the planting project are providing a wonderful experience for everyone enjoying the Waikato River Trails,” Glyn said.

“This long-term commitment has been a true community collaboration between sponsors, land owners, a team of volunteers, trustees and staff,” he added, pointing out that every tree has been planted by a volunteer from local schools and businesses. “To our

volunteer supporters, be very proud of your achievement to date.

Every tree planted now has its own story associated with the individual who planted it. We encourage our wonderful planters to share their own perspective with friends and family and to return in the future to see the profound impact they are having on our precious environment. We are pleased to note that the job is not finished and we will need more of your valued support to continue this project of transformation.”

FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 21, 2018

Another councillor looking likely Waipā District Council is likely to add an additional Cambridge councillor and community board member to comply with the Local Electoral Act. Tuesday’s Finance and Corporate Committee will make the recommendation to the full Council meeting later this month, following formal consultation with the wider Waipā community which recommended the change.

Under the proposal there would be five Cambridge ward councillors and four Te Awamutu ward councillors. Two rural wards – Kakepuku and Maungatautari – would continue to have one representative each. The third rural ward, Pirongia, would continue to be represented by two elected members.

There would also be one additional member for the

Cambridge Community Board (CCB), making six members in total – five representing Cambridge and one representing Maungatautari.

These were the only changes proposed following a formal review of how well ratepayers and residents are represented.

The other options put to councillors involved having fewer wards. However, councillors wanted to retain the existing wards to ensure rural representation was maintained and smaller communities continued to be well-represented. The CCB submitted that the number of wards should be reduced to 10, rather than increased to 13 across the district, adding that redrawing the wards could still ensure a strong rural voice. “The CCB believes the rural voice is very important for our district and under our proposal this representation would be

Basketball nationals this weekend

By Claire Robson

Cambridge sports fans can head over the Kaimai Ranges this weekend to catch all the action at the NZ Wheelchair Basketball Nationals in Tauranga, with a trio of locals taking part.

Wheelchair athletes Maioro Barton and CJ Takiari will take to the court for the Waikato A team, while Ryan Branje will play for Waikato B in the tournament at the QE2 Stadium in Tauranga.

The competition will be fierce, with the Waikato A team recently beating three-time defending champions Auckland A by a resounding 57 – 73 to be crowned the 2018 North Island Champions. No doubt the Auckland team will have a score to settle. Maioro said the Auckland crowd during that match were particularly vocal, with an uproar from the crowd whenever Waikato star player Sheldon Larsen got the ball. “We would like some local supporters to come over and even the odds,” Maioro said.

How does wheelchair basketball work?

In wheelchair basketball, the five players on the court have different levels of functional ability, with each being given a score from one to 4.5 (4.5 being the most functional), Maioro, who has a score of two points, explained.

The combined score of players on the court must not exceed 14, meaning teams cannot be stacked with physically capable players. “That makes it a lot fairer,” Maioro said.

In the recent North Island champs there were no twos or lower who could replace him, so Maioro ended up playing every minute of the tournament. He’s hoping for some more “low pointers” at this weekend’s competition so it doesn’t happen again.

Just as with able-bodied basketball, players must not travel with the ball – they must throw or bounce the ball with every two pushes of their wheelchair. Any player who is not able to play basketball standing up due to physical disability is eligible to play, although some players don’t use wheelchairs in their daily lives.

retained with 30 per cent of councillors elected from rural wards compared with 30.7 per cent under the council’s option,” chairman Mike Pettit explained. By reducing the number of councillors, the CCB said that their salary could be increased to increase the ability of residents to stand for council.

From the pool of $384,000, the councillors will be paid $29,540 each under the proposed 13 councillor model, however under the CCB’s 10 councillor proposal each would be paid $38,400. “It (more money) may result in a wider demographic representation as the remuneration would enable more to consider the role as being financially sustainable while giving civic service,” he said.

Legally, all councils in New Zealand must review their make-up every six years to ensure representation is fair and effective. Waipā’s review has shown that, because of population growth, the council needs one more councillor and community board member representing Cambridge to comply with the Local Electoral Act. By law, councillors must represent the same number of people, plus or minus 10 per cent. By adding one more elected member for Cambridge, Waipā councillors would represent between 3,670 and 4,485 people each.

The proposal is likely to be formally adopted by council on 25 September. If it goes ahead, new representation arrangements will be in place for the 2019 local body elections.

Act of Kindness visiting rest homes

By Sophie Iremonger

Local group Act of Kindness has been bridging the gap between our community’s oldest and youngest members and is making a world of difference for local rest home residents.

The feel-good organisation, which connects people with family-friendly volunteer work and organises community events such as riverside clean ups, making Christmas cards for hospital patients and collecting donated goods for charity – has

been visiting rest homes around Cambridge with mums and young children in an effort that benefits both young families and older generations.

“We’ve got so many rest homes in Cambridge and a growing aging population, but we’ve also got a growing young family population, so we want to bridge those generations and bring them together,” said Rebecca Broadbent, coordinator and founder of Act of Kindness.

“For me it was a no-brainer… My background is in public health and

Act of Kindness visited Oakdale last week. Pictured from left is Doris Cantley, Rebecca Broadbent and her son Jack.

youth development, and I read research about young people and the elderly and the positive impact it can have.”

Starting at Raeburn in October, the rest home visits now include Resthaven, the Selwyn St Andrews Moxon Centre and Oakdale, making weekday visits during the first fortnight of the month. The group also includes school age children during the school holidays, travelling to other rest homes as well.

“We’re hoping to spread the word about it and get a few more people on board,” Rebecca said. “We have lots of amazing parents bringing their children each month and have had a wonderful response from rest homes and their residents. It’s a real privilege going into the rest homes and I’ve seen the most beautiful exchanges take place between residents and children.”

Rebecca said it’s beneficial for the young children as well. “They’re learning to be patient, how to talk to other people, look people in the eye, ask and answer questions.

“I’ve learnt so much about Cambridge too, there’s all these different amazing elderly people who have got incredible stories to tell.”

Those interested can visit actofkindness.co.nz to find out about getting involved.

Local in hot water

A Cambridge woman who is charged with calling her neighbour a f****** n***** will be appearing before the courts but claims she has been the victim of mistaken identity. Katrina Noone, 72, said she was yelling at her Labrador, Nica, and her neighbour had misheard her. She was subsequently arrested and charged with using insulting or offensive language within the hearing of a public place. If she is convicted, she will face a fine of up to $1,000. She is on bail with conditions not to raise her voice or use offensive language, with a hearing scheduled for November.

Cambridge Half Marathon

More than 400 keen runners and walkers were out pounding the streets on Sunday, taking part in the Cambridge Half Marathon.

The event saw 146 people complete the half marathon run/ walk, while 119 crossed the finish line in the 10km run/walk.

Sixty-three people completed the 5km run/walk. While 25 keen kids stepped out on the 2km kids’ run event. Organisers thanked sponsors Mizuno, Smiths Sports Shoes and the Waipā District Council for their support, as well as the volunteers on the day, including Graeme Collett (left) and Hugo Dost (right) pictured here.

Speech finals at Cambridge Middle School

By Sophie Iremonger

I had the pleasure of judging the Year 8 speech finals at Cambridge Middle School this week and was quite blown away with the confidence that each student showed by getting up on stage in front of such a sizeable audience.

Each of the nine finalists – one was absent – showed fantastic writing ability and incredible confidence speaking to the school on Monday morning. Many of them were rather funny and clever too, making it pretty hard to select someone for first place.

The overall winner, Neve Keightley, gave a brilliant speech on being “the only kid in the world without a mobile phone”, pointing out hilarious and well-thought reasons as to why her parents should let her get one, whilst highlighting the benefits of not having one.

In second behind Neve was Ashlin Long with her speech on books, and Madeleine Jones third with her speech on gruesome fiction.

Having myself been a Year 8 speech finalist at Cambridge Middle School, I know how much guts it would have taken for each student to get up on stage, so well done to everyone who did!

Cambridge Middle School’s Year 7 and 8 speech finalists gave the event the ‘thumbs up’.

Roads, footpaths planned for summer overhaul Summer in Waipā will be a busy one with work already well underway on planning for major improvements to roads and footpaths.

Waipā District Council is planning for seal extensions, new footpaths and new pedestrian crossings across the district as part of the budget recently confirmed under the 10-Year Plan.

Road corridor manager Bryan Hudson said seal extensions were planned for Waikoha Road (from Te Pahu Road), John

Hewitt Drive (at the entrance to Waipuke Reserve) and Wiseman Road (around 900m) at a total cost for all three roads of around $500,000. The work does not attract a subsidy from the NZ Transport Agency; all costs for any seal extension work are paid by council.

Tenders for the work will be let shortly with the intention, weather permitting, to complete the majority of sealing work before Christmas.

Meanwhile, within the next six months

A new generation of SUV.

eight new footpaths are also planned. The footpaths, some joining new subdivisions to other urban areas, are planned for Browning St, Hemans St, Fred Parsons Cr, Grey and Vogel Sts in Cambridge, plus Swarbrick Dr and Rewi St in Te Awamutu.

“Long-term, Council is aiming to have footpaths on at least one side of all urban roads across the district, but that will take some time to achieve given other budget priorities,” Hudson said.

Five new pedestrian crossings are also

being designed, with construction to be staged over at least two financial years.

New crossings are planned at high-use locations in Pirongia (Franklin St, McClure St, Crozier St), Te Awamutu (Park Rd and Cambridge Rd) and Victoria St (between Queen and Alpha Sts) in Cambridge.

Very early estimates put the potential cost of the crossings at $300,000. The pedestrian crossings will receive a 51 per cent subsidy from the NZ Transport Agency.

October big month for seniors

By Viv Posselt

Two dates in October are likely to be of special interest to Cambridge’s senior residents and those who support them.

Monday October 1 will see the Cambridge Global Walk take place, marking the International Day for Senior Citizens.

As in recent years, the local event will take place at the Cambridge Raceway in Taylor St. There will be several sulky races take place around the track, music from the band ‘Passion’ and the Global Walk itself.

On Wednesday October 3 another Gold Card Seminar will be held in the Cambridge Town Hall, starting at 10.30am. The event is intended to introduce new Gold Card holders to - and update existing card-holders on - the many benefits the programme offers in terms of discounts and concessions.

Organising both events once again is Cambridge’s Florence Shearman, whose voluntary work in the region is focused mainly on the aged.

Previous Gold Card seminars held in Cambridge have drawn hundreds of people from around the wider Waikato/ Bay of Plenty region, and with

the growing number of people aged 65 and over settling here, attendance is expected to be high.

A keynote speaker at the seminar will be the Ministry of Social Development’s Tim Bryers, the Wellington-based key account manager for the SuperGold Card.

He will outline the advantages the card offers to holders and will answer audience questions.

“The presentation is about ensuring that seniors in the Waikato are getting the most value from their SuperGold Cards and are aware of what discounts and offers are available,” Tim said.

“The SuperGold Card was introduced in 2007.

The number of businesses joining the programme continues to grow, with around 700 new businesses across the country joining over the last year.”

He said most of the new businesses coming on board were from outside the main metropolitan areas.

“This continues to be a focus … we aim to provide greater value for cardholders who may not have the same access to the free off-peak public transport concessions.

“There are now over 9250

businesses offering SuperGold discounts, represented by more than 14,000 outlets nationwide.

In the Waikato, there are more than 1250 business outlets offering SuperGold Card discounts.”

MORTGAGE MATTERS

Why use a Mortgage Broker?

By Gavin Lynch – Yes Mortgages In the present loan market, most lenders are changing their criteria in regards to what, how much and to whom they lend. This makes it even more important to use a mortgage broker so you know you are getting the right mortgage and right lender to suit your needs.

I believe every client has a unique borrowing scenario and time needs to be taken with the client to understand and analyse this, so a correct lending plan and structure can be put in place to achieve goals.

In this column, I want to explain briefly the role of the mortgage broker and what I can offer.

The key role of the mortgage broker is to make the whole loan process easier for you, the client. This is possible because: I can look at all the lending options.

I deal with more than 25 different lenders and work to find the best lender to suit your unique situation.

• I can do all the ‘leg work’ with the lenders.

• This saves you time and avoids pitfalls in getting a loan approved.

• I can negotiate rates, fees, and legal contributions with certain lenders to obtain the best deal for the client.

• I can meet at a convenient time and place for the client.

• This can be in the home or workplace and after hours if need be.

• I can advise on the best loan structure to suit the client’s need.

And best of all using a broker is a free service in most cases. Now that has to be worth thinking about!

If your looking for a mortgage, please give me a call and I can help you though the whole process.

Strong local showing at AIMS Cambridge Middle School (CMS) was represented in cross-country, gymnastics, badminton, squash, rock climbing, multisport, netball, basketball, mixed hockey, girls’ and boys’ football, hip hop, swimming and BMX at last week’s AIMS Games in Mt Maunganui.

The school’s top result was the four medals won by swimmer Savanna Bourke, with two silvers and two bronze along with several personal best performances.

Other results were fourth in BMX for Greer Hall, with the whole team gaining top 12 finishes, 15th for netball (from 122 teams), ninth from 56 in the mixed hockey, and 17th in the girls’ football.

The CMS boys’ football team came 21st (from 64 teams), the hip hop dancers finished 12th overall, and Denirae Kaa came 12th in women’s artistic gymnastics competition.

The school’s top cross-country finisher was Manaia Elliot, who came 23rd from 160 starters, while Josh Rowe finished 23rd from 68 in the multisport competition. Keaton Budd came 7th in the rock climbing, and the CMS basketball boys finished 55th from 72 in their first appearance at the AIMS Games.

Cambridge Middle School paid tribute to the help and support from wonderful parents and the Cambridge community, which helped to make this event such a great experience for their athletes.

St Peter’s Catholic School also attended, with a cross country team giving it their best shot at the annual sporting competition for 11 – 13-year-olds, with this year’s competition seeing more than 10,000 young people from 320 schools throughout New Zealand, Tonga and the Cook Islands competing in 20 different sports. It has been running since 2004, when 760 competitors took part.

Hannah Jordan, Sahara Taane, Bella Peacocke, Matthew Jordan, Kyle Chandrasekera and Bruno Hare took on the 3km track, with some recording personal bests on the day. Principal Grant Stuart said planning is already underway to send more students next year.

Cambridge High School’s Junior Premier netball team have finished up the netball season as champions of their age group, taking out the Year 10 league in Hamilton on September 8.

“I’m really proud of what they’ve accomplished over the season,” said their coach Lana Purdon. “They worked hard and applied so much determination throughout the season to continue growing in their abilities and understanding of the game of netball.”

Their final game against Hamilton Girls High School, whom they had lost to by one point in the semi-final, was a very tight match. By the end of the first quarter the CHS girls held the lead, but then by half time the Hamilton girls were ahead by two goals.

By the end of the third quarter it was a draw, leaving

an all-or-nothing final quarter to determine the winner.

But the CHS girls prevailed, with a final winning score of 24 – 22.

“They knew what they wanted, understood what it took to get there, and then applied themselves – individually and as a team – to achieve their goal,” said Purdon. “I could not have asked for a more dedicated bunch of girls.

“All players have worked diligently to improve their skills and they really came together to help and encourage each other to perform to the best of their ability.

“I can’t wait to see what is next for all of them.”

Spring has sprung at community gardens

By Alison Hucke, co-ordinator of the Cambridge Community Gardens Congratulations to our Spring Raffle winners.

Hannah Newlands of Cambridge won the wheelbarrow. Her fouryear-old son, Nate, talked her into buying a ticket because he wanted the spinning sunflower in his garden.

Zane Anderson of Karapiro won the basket full of goodies. He bought the ticket for his wife and said he is looking forward to surprising her.

Thanks to all the folk who supported us, it was a much-needed boost for our garden funds.

The Cambridge Community Gardens grows food for seniors and needy families. We have a swap box and

surplus box so if you have too much of anything, come and swap it for what you need. If you bring your food scraps or work in the garden, you may help yourself to veges or fruit as well.

So come on Cambridge, let’s support one another.

Get gardening

Nate, four, loves getting dirty in the vege garden according to his mum, Hannah, who says he in charge of the strawberries, peas and carrots.

Gardening prize up for grabs National Gardening Week – which runs from October 15-22 – aims to foster a love of gardening with a focus on growing not only plants but friendships, good health, strong communities and closer connections with nature. Whether it’s a few pots on the balcony, a small patch or an extensive garden, everyone can experience the joy of gardening. In honour of the week, Yates has given us a hamper to give away to a lucky reader.

Just email your name and contact phone number to sophie@ cambridgenews.nz to go in the draw, with Yates hamper in the subject line. The prize includes seed raising mix, fertilisers and a selection of fruit, vegetable and flower seeds, including the new Butterfly Field and Bee Pasture mixes to help butterflies and bees flourish. Everything a keen gardener needs to get stuck in.

Entries close on October 1.

A monthly gardening column, courtesy of Amber Garden Centre September gardening – Spring is in the air VEGETABLES Dig over the garden, adding compost and sheep pellets and it’s good to go.

Remember crop rotation – don’t plant the same thing in the same place each year. Plant legumes and brassicas together. Broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower planted early will mature before white butterfly become a problem.

Root crops – potatoes, carrots, radish, beetroot, onions – should be planted together, as these require less nitrogen than leafy crops. Too much compost and manure will cause carrots to fork and twist. Fruiting crops such as tomatoes, capsicum and chillies should received targeted feeding from the signs of first flowers to avoid leaf production at the expense of flowers.

Seeds or seedlings?

Generally, carrots, parsnips, radish, turnips, corn, peas and beans are direct sown into the garden, but they are available as seedlings.

LAWNS Top-dress with a slow-release fertiliser such as Tui Lawn Force and spray Turfix to eliminate weeds.

FRUIT TREES Plum trees are in full bloom – check to see if bees are around to pollinate the flowers. Lack of bees is often the cause of little or no fruit and is associated with cold, wet weather also.

BE BEE-FRIENDLY Plant annuals, herbs and perennials to encourage bees into your garden – marigolds, cosmos, salvia, alyssum, lavender.

Flowering trees and shrubs – camellias, cherry trees, magnolia. Kowhai also bring in our native birds such as tui, wax eyes and fantails.

Enjoy Nature and happy gardening!

Mountain biker world’s best

By Sophie Iremonger

Cambridge has another champion cyclist in our midst, 16-year-old mountain biker Blake Ross. The Year 12 Cambridge High School student has won the 2018 iXS European Downhill Cup series after a successful final round in Austria.

It followed three other rounds; in Maribor, Slovenia, in April, where he placed second, in Kranjska Gora, Slovenia, in June, where he also placed second, and in Italy in July where he placed third by a fraction of a second. At the final Austrian round on September 2 he finished second again, adding another top-placing to his overall ranking in the series to secure the title as the best overall Pro U17 male. “I was definitely pretty stoked, got the goal done for the season,” Blake said after returning to Cambridge. “It was pretty cool to see where you’re ranked in the world, rather than just in little old New Zealand.”

Racing on Europe’s mountains

proved to be a contrast to the New Zealand bush, with bikers having to traverse steep, rocky terrain. “It was a bit hard at first, but after a while I adapted to it, just did a lot of riding,” he said, adding that the amazing locations were some of the highlights of taking part, as well as racing amongst the world’s best.

One part of the competition Blake didn’t expect to see was winding up in an Austrian hospital after sustaining a head injury during practice. Due to the concussion he had to skip the fourth round of the series in the Czech Republic, but luckily all riders only need to compete at four of the five rounds. “It was quite lucky,” said his dad, Mark. “A lot of work goes into it so it’s really good to see him get a result.”

“I’m happy with it, it’s definitely good to get it done,” said Blake. “It was a little bit of stress at the time, but happy to get it done. … It was definitely a good experience.”

With age-group racing wrapping up

at the end of the year, Blake will soon be entering under 19 racing, which means taking part in the UCI world cups and championships.

He hopes to join the New Zealand U19 team, which would seem likely after he also won two Crankworx

rounds this year. But for now, it’s on to racing the New Zealand circuit, starting with the North Island competition next weekend.

Those interested in sponsoring Blake’s journey can contact Mark Ross on Info@unit2go.co.nz.

Sports awards close next week Cambridge people have one more week to nominate local sportspeople and supporters in the Brian Perry Waikato Regional Sports Awards, with nominations closing next Friday, September 28.

Sport Waikato CEO Matthew Cooper said it’s important to celebrate local sporting talent and volunteers.

“So many of our sportspeople and emerging athletes are based in the Waikato region, and it’s time to celebrate their achievements. They all put a huge amount of effort and dedication into their sport and we want to acknowledge them at our district awards. It’s also a great time to recognise and acknowledge the hard work of those who support sport – the administrators, coaches, officials and volunteers whose time is spent helping our athletes to achieve”, Matthew said.

Regional Capability and Events Coordinator Gilly Alexander urged clubs, schools and sports organisations to take the time to fill in a nomination form so that the achievements of a district can be celebrated.

“Sport Waikato makes it as easy as possible to nominate online. The

forms can be saved and returned to, so you don’t have to do it all at once.

From Administrator of the Year to Sportsperson of the Year - our categories reflect the various roles in sport, and I urge communities to nominate local sportspeople and volunteers”, Gilly said.

Corrected photo – St Peter’s First XV Prizes for all in

bowls competition

By Irvine Young, Hautapu Sports Indoor Bowling Club Last week our members played for the Hope Parkinson Memorial Trophy in memory of our popular late member. In this competition everyone gets a prize.

The nights winners were Bruce Watkinson (skip), Bryce Espin and Steve Foster. Runners up were Lynette McCheyne (skip), Heather Bunting, Peggy Garrett and Sally White.

A great way to finish the season with just our Pot Luck dinner and AGM to come.

ISSUES? St Peter’s School’s First XV has successfully defended the National Co-Ed title – becoming the only team to win it back-to-back since St Kent’s in 2011 – after an emphatic victory over Rangiora High School 33 – 26 recently. Unfortunately, the school sent us the wrong photo last week, so here’s the correct one. Congratulations also to coaches Will Helu and Sean Hohneck and manager Elliot Sharp on a successful season.

Sailor flies to victory

By Sophie Iremonger Cambridge sailor Micah Wilkinson and his Napier team mate Olivia Mackay have finished up the 2018 Flying Phantom Series as overall winners after dominating the grand finale in Cardiff, Wales.

The Kiwi team, which finished second in the 2017 series, proved to be tough competition amongst this year’s eight competing teams from five nations. Held in conjunction the Extreme Sailing Series, the Flying Phantom Series included stops in Oman, Spain, Portugal, and Wales, racing exhilarating 18ft flying catamarans.

At the final round during the last week of August, the Kiwi pair raced under the Red Bull Sailing banner

with Olivia at the helm. “It was awesome,” said Micah. “To win the final race, with a couple thousand people watching, it was pretty exciting.”

Earlier in August Micah and Olivia also competed in their pinnacle event of the year, the 2018 Sailing World Championships, which they finished second in last year. Held in Denmark, the pair finished up 11th out of 68 boats. “Given all we’ve had to manage this year it was quite good,” said Micah, explaining that Olivia had been dealing with a hip injury for most of the year, waiting until last week – after the European sailing season – to get surgery as it required a three-month rest period.

“We know we’ve got potential to really – once we can take it to 100

percent – we can push hard next year and make the podium,” said Micah, looking forward to the start of the New Zealand sailing season in December. “The world champs are in New Zealand next year which is quite exciting.”

Local barefoot water skier William Leigh has returned from the sport’s world championships in Canada sporting a host of medals.

The Year 13 St Peter’s student came home with a silver medal in junior boys’ tricks, a bronze in junior boys’ jump and bronze for third overall junior boy.

Also in the medals was a St Peter’s boarding student, April Foster, who competed in all three events in the

junior girls’ division, making the finals in all three. She came home with a bronze medal for third overall junior girl and beat her personal best while she was over there.

William and April were both awarded a bronze medal as part of the NZ Junior Team, which placed third overall at the International Waterski and Wakeboard Federation’s 2018 World Barefoot Water Ski World Championships at Napanee in Ontario last month.

Cambridge cyclist a world champion, again

By Sophie Iremonger Jim McMurray has added another rainbow jersey and gold medal to his collection after a spectacular performance at the 2018 UCI Gran Fondo World Champs.

The Cambridge cyclist reclaimed his men’s 55 - 59 time trial world title having won it in 2016, this year securing it by just a quarter of a second over Great Britain’s Kevin Tye – a huge mark up after losing by around 28 second to the same competitor last year.

“To get good improvement and take out the title … just ecstatic,” McMurray said with a smile after arriving back in Cambridge from Italy, describing standing on the podium as a “very proud” moment.

“You hear the national anthem in rugby and that, but when you’re actually having to get up there, it’s pretty special.

“That’s why you do it, too, it’s personal and country as well.”

Finishing in 29 minutes and 48 seconds, McMurray averaged a speed of 44.3kmph over the 22.5km time trial course. Three days later, he competed in the road race against 267 cyclists, many of which were fresh and rearing to go having not taken part in the time

trial or other events at the competition.

McMurray managed to break away from the pack during the 130km course, which gained 2100 vertical metres in ascent. Reaching the last climb in a top-20 bunch, the cyclists made attack after attack for the first-place spot over the last three kilometres. “You just sprint like mad to the end,” said McMurray, who finished 6th overall.

“It was a good position but I just, yeah, just didn’t (win),” he laughed, later adding that the experience as a whole at the event was “just exciting”, enjoying the comradery with the Kiwis, the cycling festival atmosphere, and of course standing at the top of the podium.

“If I were to mark (the results) out of ten it would be an eight or nine out of ten … I was disappointed in the road but the excitement of winning the other one sort of levelled it off. … I’ve always wanted more, but I’d have to say I’m pretty happy.”

The Waikato-Bay of Plenty champion sets his sights rather high having won three silvers and two golds at five rounds of the annual event over the last six years (missing out on the 2015 Copenhagen event.)

“If you don’t aim high you don’t get high,” he said.

Lacrosse boys finish third Cambridge High School’s boys’ lacrosse team have finished the season off on a high note winning their final game against Hamilton Boys’ High School – earning third place overall in the season, behind Te Awamutu in second and Hillcrest first. Although the opposition was first to score, Cambridge quickly scored a few back and took-off with the lead.

During the game one of the Cambridge players was sent off, leaving the team to hold off the Hamilton boys for five minutes with a man down, with the game ending 7-4

to Cambridge. Player of the day went to team captain Damian Leech, who was also awarded most valued player for the season at the team’s awards ceremony. The title of most improved player went to Alistair Hearmon, while Blake Anderson was named the most sportsmanlike player.

Parent Sharonn Pirie paid tribute to coach Anthony Warrington after the final game, saying he has proven to be a strong role model. “The coaching this season has been amazing with improvement shown in everyone’s game,” she added.

Jim McMurray has brought home another gold medal and rainbow jersey from the UCI World Champs.

In praise of gardeners – and Magnolias

Despite the southerly winds that have been blowing in early September, it’s time to get out walking and enjoy the riches of spring in Cambridge. Our parks are full of daffodils and bare trees are just beginning to break into fresh leaf. But above all the private gardens of the town are providing a magnificent display of magnolias at present.

These beauties from the East, so dull and uninteresting through the summer months, now smother themselves, before a single leaf appears, in spectacular large waxy flowers. Shown here is the wondrous M. campbellii, the giant tulip tree of the Himlayas where it may grow as high as 45 metres.

Patience is needed as this tree may take as much as 20 years to flower. Another favourite is the sweet-scented snow-white M. denudata from China which looks fabulous against the steel grey skies that bring spring rain.

M. soulangiana is perhaps the most popular and free-flowering, while M. liliflora nigra, more of a large shrub than a tree, has deep wine-purple flowers.

So thanks to all those gardeners whose beautiful trees we all can get to enjoy. It may be your private hobby, and at times it may seem like a lot of hard work, but it also provides a valuable and magnificent public service!

Cambridge Tree Trust wishes to thank:

The CHS boys’ lacrosse team beat Hamilton Boys’ in their final game, securing third place overall.

FIGHTING CANCER IN MEN Prostate cancer has a devastating toll on Kiwi men and is the most common cancer in New Zealand men.

One in eight men will develop prostate cancer in their lifetime. One man is diagnosed every three hours, and one - or more - dies from prostate cancer each day. As most men don't get any symptoms, education on getting tested is vital to diagnosis and treatment, says Prostate Cancer Foundation CEO, Graeme Woodside.

Around 26,000 men are living with prostate cancer and many are supported by the Prostate Cancer Foundation.

Prostate cancer is a family issue. There is higher risk if brothers, fathers, uncles have had prostate cancer. “Early detection saves lives. It’s as simple as that,” says Woodside. “Men and their GPs need to be vigilant when it comes to prostate checks.”

examination (DRE). Although this may cause a little discomfort, it is worth the peace of mind. “The effects of having prostate cancer can be devastating on relationships, finances and careers. It truly can be described as a couple’s cancer.”

Signs and symptoms to look out for include urinary problems, such as slow flow, stop/start, frequency, especially at night; blood in urine or semen; and bone pain, especially in the spine. “But, be aware,” warns Woodside, “prostate cancer in the early stages, when it is most treatable, usually has no symptoms.”

G ET C H E C K ED

Men over the age of 40 should have regular prostate checks if there is a family history. Annual checks are recommended for men between 50-70 years.

A recent survey indicated 60 per cent of men had no symptoms when diagnosed. Groundbreaking research into diagnosis and treatment, as well as new treatment options, are being pioneered in New Zealand, with the help of the Prostate Cancer Foundation, in the absence of Government funding, Blue September is vital for raising funds and awareness for all Kiwi men From funding ground-breaking research to hosting support groups, every dollar counts this Blue September, so have a ‘Blue Do’, or join a Blue Do near you.

Dinner can be transformed from ho-hum to happy with the addition of an innovative sauce. Our classic tomato sauce (ketchup in the USA) when combined with equal amounts of hoisin sauce, a pinch of grated root ginger and a squeeze of orange juice transforms a plain grilled chop into a sweet and sticky, finger-licken’ lamb-y bit of lusciousness.

In the 19th century French chef Marie-Antoine Carême popularised five ‘mother’ sauces. Béchamel, Velouté, Espagnol,

Tomato and Hollandaise. However, these traditional sauces have been replaced with ones that reflect a change in menu preferences. Pesto, salsa, yoghurt, herb and tahini better complement our lighter, more flavoursome, vegetable orientated meals. And from these new ‘mother’ sauces, have come dozens of spin-offs.

Asian sauces have become common in traditional dishes from the West. For example, Gochujang, a fermented paste of sauce

CHICKEN WITH BLACK GARLIC, TRUFFLE & MUSHROOM SAUCE I used Waikato’s Wild Country Black Garlic & Truffle Steak Sauce.

2 small skinned and boned chicken breasts 6 tablespoons black garlic & truffle steak sauce 2 tablespoons olive oil 200g mushrooms, thinly sliced pinch sugar freshly ground black pepper to taste Brush the chicken with a little of the sauce.

Heat the olive oil in a non-stick frying pan. Sauté the mushrooms until tender and any liquid has evaporated. Stir in the remaining sauce and heat through. Season.

Meanwhile, grill or pan-fry the chicken on medium for about 4-5 minutes each side. Serve with the mushroom sauce. Serves 2.

BBQ SAUCE, SLOW-COOKED PORK SLIDERS The BBQ sauce is all that is needed for fab flavour but add other goodies if you wish.

2kg piece NZ pork shoulder 1 cup smoky BBQ Sauce 3/4 cup stock or water 2 tablespoons each: brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard 12 slider buns or similar table spread and baby salad leaves, optional Place the pork in a slow cooker. Combine the sauce and stock or water with the sugar, vinegar and mustard. Pour over the pork.

Cover and cook on high for 5-6 hours, until very tender.

Remove the pork from the slow cooker, discard any skin and fat and shred the meat with two forks. Return to the slow cooker and combine with the juices.

Meanwhile, lightly toast the buns. Add the table spread and salad leaves if using. Top with the warm shredded pork and enjoy. Serves 6-8.

prepared from chillies, glutinous rice and soy beans. It is the most recognised condiment flavour in Korean cuisine tasting a bit like a complex combo of vegemite, chilli and miso. It certainly adds interest to meatballs.

Barbecue sauce is becoming more popular than our traditional tomato classic. Add it to casseroles to boost background flavours and it’s all the seasoning you need when slow cooking a shoulder of pork to make succulent sliders.

CRAZY KOREAN MEATBALLS Great served on rice for dinner or as nibbles with 5 o’clock drinks.

1 large egg 1kg lean minced beef 1 cup panko (Japanese) breadcrumbs 1 small shallot, diced 1 teaspoon each: crushed garlic, grated root ginger, sesame oil salt and pepper to taste Korean Sauce: 1 cup plum sauce eg Barkers 1/2 cup hoisin sauce 1/4 cup water 2-3 tablespoons Gochujang (Korean chilli sauce) Preheat the oven to 220°C. Lightly oil a roasting pan just large enough to hold the meatballs.

Lightly beat the egg in a large mixing bowl. Add the remaining meatball ingredients and mix well. Roll into 3cm diameter balls. Place in a the roasting pan and bake for 8 minutes.

Combine the sauce ingredients. Reduce the oven temperature to 180°C. Pour the sauce over the meatballs. Cover and bake for 45 minutes. Add more Gochujang if preferred. Makes 40

The Bay of Plenty Mustang Owners’ Club brought their American beauties to Cambridge on the weekend. Meeting at the Tauriko petrol station Sunday morning, the convoy cruised through the Kaimai Ranges and into Cambridge, assembling at the car museum at C&R Developments in Hautapu.

The display of 28 mustangs included a range of different years and models, from 1964 through to modern day.

“It went exceptionally well,” said Trevor Iremonger, who organised the event along with wife Lynn – two long-time Cambridge locals now residing in Tauranga.

“We’d like to thank Tim Ross at C&R for hosting us, and for the awesome guided tour through the earth works machinery.”

Afterwards the mustangs made their way out to the Cambridge Golf Club for an “excellent” buffet dinner before going back over the hill to Tauranga.

We can transport all your livestock requirements.

The 111 Report POLICE

Thursday, September 13 A serious crash has occurred on Cambridge Rd around 1.30pm.

Friday, September 14 A broken-down vehicle was left on the side of Waikato Expressway around 7pm. This vehicle was subsequently stolen and later found burnt out on the side of the road near Horohora Rd and SH1.

Monday, September 17 At around 1pm police assisted the fire brigade at a house fire on Vennell St with neighbours reporting smoke coming out of the kitchen. The fire was caused by a pot being left on the stove which was quickly extinguished. There were no injuries sustained in the fire as no one was home at the time.

Staff noticed the male conceal the items and attempting to leave the store without paying and two off duty officers intervened. The male is known to police and had shoplifted from the Countdown in Nawton, Hamilton, earlier that day.

Tuesday, September 18 A vehicle was broken into on Thornton Rd between 10.30 and 11.30am while the owner was going for a walk. Offender(s) have smashed a window and stolen several thousand dollars’ worth of items including a Mountain Buggy, an iPhone 10 and Oakley sunglasses There were eight family harm related incidents and one bail breach reported in Cambridge in the last week.

WORK WANTED

CASUAL FARM WORK

Parks Operators (Gardener and Mower Operators) x3 To help support our future vision we have Parks Operator vacancies available in the gardening and mower operations.

• Newly created full time permanent roles • Te Awamutu and Cambridge based • The home of champions is growing!

The Waipa district has 138 parks, 26 playgrounds, 242 hectares of sports fields, and 10 public cemeteries. That’s about 320 hectares of recreation land available for public use which we want to keep in pristine shape for both locals and visitors to enjoy. Our Parks Operators are the face of Council, you see these hard-working individuals out and about tidying our flower beds, planting trees, mowing lawns, raking leaves, maintaining our cemeteries, and all the rest!

The Waipa district is recognised as a key location for future development, growth and investment, and has been categorised as one of the high growth regions in New Zealand. As you can imagine, that means we are going to be having more parks, playgrounds, cycle ways and shared pathways to maintain. To help support our future vision we have Parks Operator vacancies available in the gardening and mower operations, in both the Te Awamutu and Cambridge depot.

As a Gardener you will need previous experience with pruning, planting, weeding and spraying.

For mowing you will need a horticultural or turf management background and a HT Licence would also be an advantage. Here at Waipa, team fit is just as important as technical abilities, so for both roles you will need to be a team player who can think on your feet, have the ability to communicate effectively with the community we serve and have good written and verbal skills.

The hard work, passion and dedication of our Parks team ensures that residents and visitors enjoy the beauty this district has to offer all year round. If you would like to contribute to continuing to make the Waipa district a great place to be, then we would love to hear from you.

Application close date: Monday, 1 October 2018.

THE HOUSE WITH A CLOCK IN ITS WALLS Lewis Barnavelt, after losing his parents, is sent to Michigan to live with his uncle Jonathan. He discovers his uncle is a wizard and enters a world of magic and sorcery. But this power is not limited to good people: Lewis learns of Isaac Izard, an evil wizard who wanted to cause “the destruction” so that he could see what happened afterwards. To do this, he constructed a magical clock with black magic. As long as it exists it will keep ticking, counting down to doomsday. He died before he could finish the clock, but he hid the clock in his house, where Uncle Jonathan now lives. Now Lewis and Jonathan must find the clock before it's too late and before Isaac's wife, Selena, gets to it. “I’ve seen the film and can assure you that it is a fun fantasy adventure with a lot of laughs. Cate Blanchett and Jack Black have a really great chemistry together and there is a lot of joking. Throughout the film there are a lot of heartfelt messages as well, like the importance of family and how being an outsider can be a good thing. I think that 8-14 year olds, will really connect well with this film.” Laurel.

NIGHT SCHOOL How many of us have tried to break out of a rut into which life has placed us? We’re all there at different points in our lives, and some never get out of that defining groove.

“Night School” skilfully captures three people pushing themselves to change the arc of their lives by returning to the world of education to get their high school diplomas.

There are many lessons to take away from this rewarding window into lives other than our own, but one that stands out is that anyone considering dropping out of high school and returning later should remember that life gets harder as you get older. Sure, you think there are distractions when you’re a teenager, but imagine having to go to school while working to pay your bills or taking care of your daughter as a single parent. “Night School” never turns into a sob story or a manipulative tale of redemption—it merely chronicles three unforgettable people, the kind who are easy to root for and allows us to realize that they’re not that different from us or the legions like them trying to better themselves.

FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 21, 2018

Students race hard Over 270 students from primary schools around Cambridge gathered at Karapiro’s Mighty River Domain last week for a combined schools’ crosscountry.

The event on Friday, organised by Goodwood School with the support of Project Energise and Sport

Waikato, saw 8 – 9-year olds cover a 1880m track, and 10 – 11-year olds take on an undulating 2080m track.

“So impressed with the grit and determination shown by all runners, with exhilaration and exhaustion on faces, crossing the finish line,” said Chris Garland, event coordinator from Goodwood School.

Front: Natalie Thomas (Cambridge East).

More than 270 students gave it their all in the combined schools’ cross-country last week.
