Go speed racers…

Five Cambridge teams put their engineering skills to the test at the EVolocity competition in Hamilton on Saturday, with one team taking out wins in two categories.

James Ross and Matt Berry’s bike propelled them to wins in the Street Circuit and Show Design and Appeal categories, with Cambridge High School materials technology teacher Bruce Siriett describing their electric-powered bike as “super sharp”.

“I am really stoked for Cambridge and in particular, this outcome,” EVolocity co-ordinator Levinia Paku said. “But their teacher Bruce Siriett deserves an accolade for getting all five teams to the event, that was the most entries from a school this year.”

One team out of the five was forced to drop out, Bruce said, having made a small engineering decision that he was unaware of which meant their cart malfunctioned.

“They tried to weld aluminum to steel, which you can’t do…they put the brakes on and it snapped,” he explained.

And there was an extremely cute eight-month old kiwi chick released on Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari on Monday, the start of a new initiative to revitalise the population of our native bird (see page 8).

We also had the BNZ Corporate Challenge out at the Avantidrome on Saturday night, proving yet again that the cycling venue has been a great addition to the town. And the call has gone out for Christmas float entries, with the parade coming up fast. While it might seem early, the parade is on December 2, so if you don’t want to be whacking a float together in your shed the night before it might pay to get cracking. Because it’s only 58 days until the parade and just 81 days until Christmas (sorry).

Next week is Mental Health Awareness Week, a good time to take stock of our mental and emotional wellbeing. A lot of people focus on physical health, but I reckon that mental health is just as important, if not more so. The theme for this year is ‘Let nature in, strengthen your wellbeing – Mā te taiao kia whakapakari tōu oranga!’, which is a good reminder about the healing power of spending time outside in the fresh air when you can. Luckily this coincides with the start of daylight saving, so there’s even more time after work to get out and about and soak in all the good nature vibes. If you are a bit of a photographer, you might like to enter their photo competition as well. Every day they have a Shakti Mat and Mr Vintage tote bag to give away, with a Nikon camera worth more than $700 going to the overall winner. So get out there and get snapping.

In other news, local legend Jocelyn Cooney received her Queen’s Service Medal in Wellington on Monday. A wonderful achievement for someone who has done such a lot for Cambridge – congratulations, Jocelyn. By the time we go to print, the much-loved steamroller at Leamington Domain will have been carted off for a bit of TLC and safety work, which will no doubt please parents.

Editor, You report that Waipa District Council is to set up a video monitoring system in Cambridge (comprising seven video cameras), primarily at street intersections. While I understand the reasons why people would like to have security cameras, I don’t think that Cambridge has changed sufficiently over the last 100 years to justify having them in public spaces.

What I do not like about malls is that they are someone else’s ‘place’. They are owned by a corporation to make money.

They have the right to engage security guards, to have surveillance, and they can trespass people. Individual shops can do the same on their property to protect their goods and staff; it’s their right, and we acknowledge that when we step into their shop. However, public areas and spaces are quite different. To have surveillance monitoring a community is an invasion of public interaction and space that really the council body has no right to overlook.

I recently saw a BBC item regarding surveillance cameras in China. It is an extreme state of course, but one that will become more conceivable over time elsewhere, and that is genuinely worrying. Just because we can have security cameras, it doesn’t mean we should. And once we have them in place, there is no turning back. This is something on which the community should have a say, and for which deeper debate is required.

Editor, Following your recent story about our Bichon Frise dogs William and Rosebud needing a home, we are happy to report that they have been placed into a fabulous new home together in Cambridge.

We have had lots of enquiries about them generally - they seem to have developed a bit of a celebrity status since their story was printed!

New owners Freda and Janelle, plus Rosebud and William’s new nana and grandad who live right next door, are delighted with their new family members and have been busy shopping for all sorts of canine comforts and goodies to make them feel at home. They say they have already been around to meet the neighbours, and they will be out and about around town regularly.

Thanks so much for your help. We had two amazing offers of homes for these guys as a direct result of the story, and we couldn’t have asked for a better outcome.

Helen and Rachel Pound Hounds Rescue

Editor, A talented young artist has been doing some great artwork on transformer and switch cabinets around Cambridge. I wonder, could council be persuaded to allow her to brighten up our loos?

Consider these: Milicich Pl, New World carpark, Te Kō Utu Park toilets which play piano music could have an Elton ‘John’ theme (get it?). The toilet on Hallys Ln could have an A.A. Milne mural, the Leamington Domain could be Waterloo Station while Shakespeare St could be Romeo and Juliet (they ‘go’ together). The Thornton Rd playground and Victoria Square could be painted with Pooh Bear, the Magic Roundabout or similar characters. There must be dozens of subjects and candidates.

Also, who was the wise guy who installed a motion sensor in the Hallys Ln gents? It switches on when the user enters, turning on the water supply to the urinal cistern – not what you want to hear when you are busting.

Get out into nature

By Claire Robson Next week is Mental Health Awareness Week, with this year’s theme being ‘Let nature in, strengthen your wellbeing – Mā te taiao kia whakapakari tō oranga’.

The Mental Health Foundation (MHF) has released survey findings that reveal the positive impact spending time in nature can have on the mental wellbeing of New Zealanders.

Of those surveyed after last year’s Mental Health Awareness Week (MHAW), 95 per cent said that spending time in nature during the week had made them feel good, with 75 per cent saying they intended to spend more regular time in nature. MHF chief executive Shaun Robinson said: “We know connecting with nature makes us feel good, and every little bit helps us find balance, build resilience and boost

mental wellbeing.”

“We are lucky to live in a country surrounded by natural beauty. Every day we have opportunities to stop, take it in and appreciate the goodness that already surrounds us,” Shaun said.

“We never know what life challenges lie around the corner, but if we invest in our mental health we are much better equipped to handle tough times and can prevent mental health issues.”

Nearly 50 per cent of New Zealanders will experience a mental health problem in their lifetime, and depression is set to overcome heart disease as the biggest global health burden by 2020.

The MHF is running a photo competition again this year, with a different theme for each day. Visit www. mhaw.nz for more information. Mental Health Awareness Week runs from October 8 – 14.

Roller off for spruce up

The much-loved steamroller at Leamington Domain should be back in about three weeks.

The steamroller at Leamington Domain will be disappearing for a few weeks, taken off to get a much-needed overhaul. The popular children’s playground feature will get new steps, a coat of paint and safety improvements as part of the work.

The steamroller has been in the Leamington Domain since 1975 when it was retired by council’s roading team. The engine and other parts were removed, and it was installed in the play area.

The repairs are estimated to cost $10,000 and will be funded from existing maintenance budgets.

The roller was scheduled for removal yesterday (Thursday, October 4) with the work expected to take up to three weeks. In addition to new stairs making it safer, other safety improvements will involve the removal of any areas where little fingers and heads can get trapped, as well as rounding off any sharp steel pieces.

Sculpture to get underway

By Claire Robson

Lotteries fund has contributed $135,000 for the memorial sculpture and other Armistice commemorations, with $12,000 coming from Trust Waikato and $5,000 from the Cambridge Community Board.

Ground is due to be broken at the site of the Le Quesnoy Memorial Sculpture in the next few weeks, with construction scheduled to start on the plinth to hold a six-metre high sculpture to commemorate the centenary of the liberation of the French town by Kiwi soldiers.

The sculpture was designed by local artist Fred Graham, and will be constructed from stainless-steel with a plinth in the shape of Le Quesnoy town itself. It will be located near Lake Te Kō Utu on the corner of Thornton Rd and Victoria St, near the roundabout.

Armistice in Cambridge group chair Paul Watikins said: “This sculpture will be the centre-piece for the recognition of the Kiwis, led by Cambridge-born Second Lieutenant Averill, who scaled the walled town in northern France to liberate it from the Germans.”

The sculpture is expected to take six weeks to install, at an expected cost of $100,000. Paul said the installation is more complicated than you might think, with the plinth requiring 1.5-metredeep steel reinforcements to prevent the sculpture from toppling in extreme wind conditions. The bricks used in the plinth are as close to bricks used in Le Quesnoy as possible, and the sculpture features a silver fern with a stylised Eiffel Tower to represent the KiwiFrench connection it is Armistice in Cambridge group chair Paul Watkins with a replica of the stainless steel Le Quesnoy Memorial Sculpture, commemorating. which will take six weeks to install and will be six metres high.

Enter now for Christmas Parade

By Sophie Iremonger

It may seem a little early to be talking about Christmas, but organisers of the Cambridge Christmas Parade are encouraging people to get their float entries in as soon as possible before their 50-float limit is reached.

“It does fill up pretty fast,” said Miff Macdiarmid, CEO of Destination Cambridge and one of the judges

of this year’s parade, explaining that float organisers should “be in quick so they don’t miss out”. Last year’s event saw a total of 750 people involved in the floats that cruised the main streets of Cambridge. That day there were two and a half thousand people in town, and organisers expect a spectacular turn out once again this year.

Taking over as CEO of Destination Cambridge from Roger Gordon in July,

it will be Miff’s first time organising the Christmas Parade this year along with Cambridge i-SITE staff and parade organiser extraordinaire Vicky Ewing.

“Roger has had a really good run of beautiful weather, so hopefully I don’t jinx it!” Miff laughed.

This year’s parade, on Sunday, December 2, will have the theme “Colours of Christmas” meaning Christmas colours should

feature on the floats – any colour from red, white, green, gold or silver. “They can interpret that however they want really,” Miff explained, adding that “preparation is the key, so start early.

A bit of forward planning can make it a lot less stressful.”

Entries close on November 23, but floats are accepted on a firstcome-first served basis, and a with few entries in already, people need

ceremony at New Zealand’s Government House. Thrilling as that was, Jocelyn’s best takeaway from the day was that her family were with her - her 92-year-old mum Grace Ronayne, husband David Cooney, and their children Emma and Rob. “It was very special to have them all there with me … I know I’m very lucky,” she said. “Just receiving the award was fantastic for me on a personal level, but I also hope that it might give a

little prominence to the organisations I’ve been involved with through the years, and who helped get it for me.”

Jocelyn’s citation puts her down as a trustee of the Safer Community Trust and the Cambridge Autumn Festival, and a former trustee of the Waipā Community Trust.

It says she helped form the Cambridge Health and Community Trust and lists her honorary solicitor status with the Parents Centre, Grey Power, Cambridge Creative Fibre, Cambridge Society of Arts, Rotary, Cambridge Community House and Riding for the Disabled.

She sits on the New Zealand Law Society Cost Revision Committee, was a foundation trustee at Hautapu School and sits on the Board of Trustees of Salisbury School.

The latter is a Nelsonbased state school for intellectually disabled girls. Her role there has seen her spearhead a gritty fight for the school to remain open – one which has at last been successful and which she says has provided

a particularly satisfying victory.

They are organisations that have benefited from Jocelyn’s expertise, usually delivered with copious dollops of humour. “Each of them is very worthwhile, and I get far more out of all those associations than I could ever put in. The most fun has probably come from the Autumn Festival; they have great trustees and it’s such a good news story for the town. How could you not enjoy it?”

to get the ball rolling now. With New World on board again this year as the parade’s major sponsor, the overall float winner will receive a $500 New World voucher, and each category winner, sponsored by Kaz Design and GW Scott &

Associates, will receive a $250 New World voucher.

Entries are now open and close on November 23, 2018. Entry forms are available from the Cambridge i-SITE or by email - info@cambridge. co.nz.

QSM for Jocelyn Cooney

By Viv Posselt There’s something quite telling in the way that Jocelyn Cooney points out the tiny lapel badge marking her new QSM status. It’s small compared to the boxed version of the award … modest like its wearer, but with a backstory far more prominent than its size suggests.

‘Quake risk in spotlight

By Claire Robson

With the New Zealand ShakeOut coming up, we thought we’d take a look at where Cambridge sits in the scheme of things ahead of the national earthquake awareness day on October 18.

Cambridge is not classified in the high-risk category for earthquakes, which is good news; according to the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) Waipā is in the medium risk bracket. We are part of two strips through the country identified as medium risk that includes Tauranga, New Plymouth, Nelson and Invercargill.

High risk areas include the Hawkes’ Bay, Wellington, Blenheim and Christchurch,

while low-risk areas are from Auckland north as well as Oamaru and Dunedin in the South Island.

As a medium risk area, council needs to identify potentially earthquake-prone buildings in the next 10 years, and they must be made safe within the next 25 years.

It must do this to comply with the Building (Earthquake-prone Buildings) Amendment Act 2016, which came into force in July 2017 as a result of the Kaikoura earthquake in November 2016.

Some buildings, such as hospitals or schools, could be considered ‘priority buildings’ and will need to be identified within five years and made safe with 12.5 years – half the normal timeframe.

Of particular concern is the issue of

unreinforced masonry (URM), building facades which took a devastating toll when they collapsed in the Christchurch earthquake in 2011.

Council is currently working on identifying buildings that could potentially be earthquake prone.

Once those properties have been singled out, council will notify the owners who will then have 12 months to provide an engineer’s report.

If the report finds the building is below 34 per cent of the new building standards, then the building will be classified as earthquake-prone and will have to be made safe within the next 25 years (or 12.5 if they are a ‘priority’ building).

And a notice informing the public of this will need to be displayed and the building’s details will be uploaded to a national register.

Callum Patton, Earthquake-prone Building Assessor for the council said: “Until we have gone through this process it’s too early to say if we have any unreinforced masonry buildings of concern.”

As part of this identification process, council also needs to identify areas that

Based on there being sufficient traffic and the potential for URM to fall, council proposes the following Cambridge thoroughfares be prioritised: • Victoria St from the roundabout on Queen St to the Cambridge Museum • Lake St from the junction with Queen St to the roundabout on Victoria St • Empire St from the junction with Queen St to the roundabout on Victoria St

are considered high pedestrian or high vehicle thoroughfares, and they will do this in consultation with the public.

Any URM building that is confirmed as being earthquake-prone on these thoroughfares would be considered a ‘priority building’ and subject to the tighter timeframes for repair.

Council has identified areas it considers high pedestrian or vehicle thoroughfares in the district, and public consultation is running until October 19. Call into council offices to collect submission forms, phone 0800 WAIPADC (924 723) or visit www.waipadc.govt.nz/ haveyoursay for submission forms.

Visit www.shakeout.govt.nz for more information about the New Zealand Shake Out on October 19.

An unreinforced masonry (URM) building is an older style building with brick walls that do not contain steel, timber or fibre reinforcement. URM buildings often have other features like parapets, verandas, balconies, decorative ornaments, chimneys and signs on the front walls that face onto a street or open space. These features increase the risk of a building, or part of a building, collapsing in an earthquake.

Be bold, Cambridge Cambridge residents are being urged to ‘be bold’ as Waipā District Council begins a major town planning exercise. Cambridge’s most recent Town Concept Plan was finalised in 2010 following community feedback. The Plan saw strong support for retaining Cambridge’s village feel while building on the town’s world-class sporting prowess. Since then, the Cambridge section of the Waikato Expressway has been built, a new roundabout and town entrance constructed and community amenities such as the new pool complex and cycleways are underway. Waipā District Council’s strategic projects

team leader Conan Magill said it’s time to “take stock, re-connect with the community and make sure we’re on the right planning path”.

“We’re hoping for some blue-sky, aspirational thinking from the Cambridge community. We want people to be bold so we can harness their ideas and develop a big picture plan for public spaces that will take us well into the future.”

Council will launch a website on Monday (October 8) www.beboldwaipa.nz which will include an interactive digital mapping tool.

“It will allow people to ‘drop a pin’ and share their idea for that space along with photographs or anything else they want to use,” Conan said.

“We’re specifically looking for ideas around connections, pedestrian areas, natural heritage, social spaces and the Cambridge Town Hall. This is not around the details, although they are important. It’s about creating a WAIPA NETWORKS ARE broader vision for what people YOUR LOCAL ELECTRICAL want Cambridge to be.”

Council will share the feedback, CONTRACTOR and garner more, at a series of We are here to help you with: drop-in sessions beginning on • Service Mains October 11.

Special kiwi released on Maungatautari The beginning of a journey for 500 kiwi started with one very special chick on October 1, coinciding with the start of Save the Kiwi Month.

The eight-month-old Western Brown Kiwi chick, named Tahi, is the first kiwi released as part of Kiwis for Kiwi’s new strategy to accelerate kiwi numbers and turn around a two per cent decline in the national bird’s numbers. The release took place at Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari, the country’s largest predator proof fenced sanctuary.

Michelle Impey, executive director of Kiwis for Kiwi said this bird represents a whole new approach to tackling declining kiwi populations.

“Using Operation Nest Egg, chicks hatched from wild-collected eggs will be incubated in captivity and released into existing predator free habitats where they can breed in a safe environment.

Once we have grown those areas near to capacity, we can then relocate some of the offspring to start new families in other places. By increasing the supply chain and getting these kōhanga kiwi sites to capacity more quickly, we can now do in 5-10 years what would have taken 50 years or more,” Michelle said.

The success of the strategy depends on the collaboration between many groups - Iwi, private land owners, regional councils, DOC, hatching facilities and many volunteers.

R E S I D E N T I A L

A variety of songs including 'Blue Moon', 'I Dreamed a Dream', 'Bonse Aba', 'Hey Look Me Over', and 'He Honore' plus many more.

Eight-month-old kiwi chick Tahi was the first kiwi released as part of the Kiwis for Kiwi initiative, making his new home at Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari on Monday.

Michelle said over the past 16 years the Sanctuary has put an enormous amount of work into creating a safe place to enable the reintroduction of endangered species.

“This has provided a wonderful opportunity to establish a critical kōhanga kiwi site and it made so much sense to work together. We believe the goal of 500 kiwi released to the maunga in the next five years is doable,” Michelle said.

The sanctuary has an estimated carrying capacity of 690 pairs of kiwi and when it reaches half capacity – around 325 pairs – kiwi will begin to be moved off the mountain to begin populations in other predator-controlled areas.

Michelle said that when fully stocked, Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari is capable of producing hundreds of kiwi each year for release to the wild.

More than 630 kids from across Cambridge got to experience a festival of all things Chinese last week, heading out to Karapiro to gain a deeper understanding of the culture.

The 632 students, from Year 3 to Year 10, came from 25 classes across seven schools in the Cambridge Fusion Cluster – up by 100 on last year. All have been taking Mandarin classes at school.

The executive officer of Asian Language Learning in Schools, Ann Easter, said each school from the cluster ran a couple of activities at the Don Rowlands Centre, on what was “just a lovely day” last Wednesday. Along with Chinese costumes and paper crafts, students could try their hand at Mandarin calligraphy and traditional Chinese games such as hacky sack and a bamboo jumping game. They were also treated to dumplings and fortune cookies with language-based quotes inside. In addition, they heard from guest speaker Scott Cardwell – the CEO of Immerse Me, a virtual reality technology company that has made headsets Gemma Morrow (left) and right Katie Callendar (right) from to assist students with Goodwood were busy making paper flowers last week.

Council voted on Tuesday to approve the payment of $150,000 to help fund a war memorial museum in Le Quesnoy, France.

The total cost for the museum in our sister city is estimated to be $15M, with the chair of the New Zealand War Memorial Trust, Sir Don McKinnon, describing the project as one of ‘national significance’. For their part, Sir Don said the French government has effectively subsidised the purchase by selling land and buildings to the trust for 50 per cent of the market valuation.

The property that will house the museum includes a four-level 19th century home, once Le Quesnoy’s mayoral residence, eight surrounding terraced houses on a 1ha site, and a standalone cottage and garage.

A total of nine councils, including Waipā, have donated more than $200,000 to the project. Most amounts given were between $10,000 and $20,000, according to trustee Brett Hewson, with Waipā’s contribution making up the bulk of that.

There were no dissenting voices in the council vote confirming the $150,000 pledge, however Cr Susan Te Awamutu councillor Susan O’Regan abstained, as O’Regan abstained from did Poto Davies (as a voting to confirm the $150,000 representative of Nga Iwi donation to build a war Toopu O Wāipa). memorial museum in France.

By Sophie Iremonger

Cambridge lost a valued member of the community last week, and a valued member of my family. Mrs Ngaire Iremonger passed away peacefully on Saturday, September 29, at 92 years of age.

She lived a long and wonderful life, largely spent here in Cambridge with her family. She started out in Christchurch, born in 1926 to Elsie and Henry Boyle as one of three children.

They moved to Nelson, and then Wellington, where she eventually met Cyril Iremonger, my late grandfather or “Poppa” as we called him. They married in 1949 and soon moved to Palmerston North, where they had four children, two girls and two boys.

Their youngest, my father Trevor, was just five weeks old when they moved to Cambridge, settling in a house on Wilson St whilst they built a home on Hillary Place. There they raised their children, Jan, Graeme, Pauline and Trevor, whilst working here in Cambridge – Cyril a diesel mechanic at Wilkinsons Transport, and Ngaire, or Nana as we called her, a shorthand typist at Ryan and Mitchell Accountants.

She was a fantastic mother to her children, though my dad certainly knew how to make that job a bit difficult as a mischievous youngster, nearly burning the house down on one or two occasions. My auntie Pauline, her third child, said both their parents were extremely

supportive of their many sporting ventures and other activities as children, and often took them on holiday to a bach they built in Whangamata.

They went on to have eight grandchildren, and six great grandchildren, with two more great grandies currently on the way.

Poppa passed away in 1986.

Us grandkids had so many cool times with our nan, some of my favourite childhood memories with her were making pikelets and homemade lemonade at her home on Byron Street, and going to the old cinema with her in Te Awamutu with my sister Abby. She was very proud of me when I got my job here at the paper, just as she was extremely proud of all her grandchildren and children.

Here in Cambridge she was involved with various local clubs and groups, more recently in Grey Power, 60s Up and the Leamington Bowls Club, as well as the Cambridge JCs, the RSA and more.

It’s hard to fit her entire life into one article, but not nearly as hard as it is to say goodbye. But we can take comfort in knowing that she lived a long and lovely life, and continues on in our cherished memories.

Stepping out for senior citizens

Close to 70 people walked the Cambridge Raceway track to mark the International Day for Senior Citizens.

By Sophie Iremonger More than 70 people turned out to the Cambridge Global Walk marking the International Day for Senior Citizens on Monday.

Held at the Cambridge Raceway, representatives from several key organisations attended the 5th annual event organised by Florence Shearman, including Waipa Mayor Jim Mylchreest, Darryl Anderson from Trackside TV, MC for the day Kay Hale from NewstalkZB, director of the Ministry of Social Development’s Office for Seniors Diane Turner, and Cambridge Community Board chairman Mike Pettit.

Cambridge Grey Power president Val Massey also attended, noting that the day was for a “brilliant cause”. “We’ve really got to make people aware of the older generation, we’re not so much a burden but an asset, we’ve got a lot to contribute. I think this sort of thing does a good job of highlighting that we are valuable people.”

The event kicked off with a sulky race around

the track, with Mike Pettit, Diane Turner, Jim Mylchreest, Darryl Anderson and Gary Edge riding in the harnesses with qualified local drivers. Mayor Jim took the lead throughout most of the race, with Mike Pettit edging close behind in some cases but never managing to take the lead. Jim said it was “going from zero to hero” after a tyre popped in last year’s sulky race making him unable to finish, and finishing his third annual event was “a real buzz”.

Walkers from Te Awamutu and Morrinsville were in attendance to join the many Cambridge locals doing the Global Walk around the race track.

“Everyone was happy. everyone enjoyed it, it didn’t rain, so it went really well,” said organiser Florence Shearman. “It’s nice to note the value of older people… It’s a celebration of older people worldwide,” she said.

Similar events were held throughout the country and the world to mark the International Day for Senior Citizens held annually on Several dignitaries including Mayor Jim Mylchreest (rear, right) and Community Board chairman Mike Pettit (front, left) raced the sulkies with local drivers.

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.

Going blue for the cause

By Claire Robson A blue-themed BBQ outside AMI was just one of many events around town for Blue September, raising money and awareness for prostate cancer.

The organiser of the barbie, Mark Cameron, painted himself blue in honour of the event and had his head shaved at the end. Raising a total of $365 from the sausage sizzle and donations in the branch, the AMI barbeque added to Cambridge total so far.

That amount has yet to be tallied, with a number of

events taking place during September and number of registered ‘Blue Dos’ across the country up more than 60 per cent on last year. Jackson Lee from J A Russell also put his locks on the line, raising $670 for the Prostate Cancer Foundation of New Zealand with a head shave and BBQ. According to the foundation, one in eight men will develop prostate cancer in their lifetime, with one being diagnosed every hour in this country. There are currently around 26,000 Kiwi men living with prostate cancer, with many of those being supported by the Prostate Cancer Foundation.

New animal welfare rules

New animal welfare requirements for the management of companion animals in temporary housing facilities came into effect on Monday.

The new Code of Welfare for Temporary Housing of Companion Animals was developed by the National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee (NAWAC) and has been issued by the Minister of Agriculture.

NAWAC chairperson, Dr Gwyneth Verkerk, said the new code sets out minimum standards and best practice guidelines for animals in temporary housing facilities.

“This is the first code that explicitly outlines what is required from facilities that provide temporary

housing for companion animals,” Dr Verkerk said.

“The code applies to companion cats and dogs, as well as companion animals that are not covered by an existing species-specific code of welfare, such as guinea pigs, rabbits, mice, rats, fish and turtles.”

Minimum standards and recommendations for best practice in the code include the provision of food and water, temperature and lighting, air and water quality, behaviour, health and disease, and sale or rehoming.

Dr Verkerk said the code applies to animals in temporary housing facilities such as boarding facilities and kennels, pet shops, animal

welfare centres and pounds, animal day-care centres, grooming establishments and quarantine or isolation facilities.

“The aim of the code is to encourage all those responsible for the welfare of these animals to adopt the highest standards of husbandry, care and handling. It is expected that the code will be used as a guide for best practice.”

The code will give assurance to pet owners that the physical, health and behavioural needs of their animals are met, and any pain and distress is alleviated while in temporary housing facilities.

participation in outdoor and leisure pursuits, and a high level of commitment. Cambridge Ranger Leader, Hayley Thomas, would like to acknowledge the hard work each of the Rangers have put in to achieve these awards, the support from each of their families, and the community groups who provide ongoing opportunities for the girls including attending Rangers as guest speakers and allowing girls to complete their community service.

Bevan Cup highly contested With nearly 200 students performing as musical soloists, St Peter’s School’s Bevan Cup competition remains a tightly contested celebration of musical excellence.

The event, held on Monday, September 24, was split into four categories - piano, vocal, guitar/bass/drums, and instrumental, which included woodwinds and strings.

Director of Performing Arts, Stephen Morton-Jones, said industry specialists were brought in as adjudicators. “Music has an incredible tradition of success at St Peter’s. The school’s founder Arthur Broadhurst was a passionate musician,” said Stephen.

Stephen said about a third of the whole school roll receives one-on-one music lessons every week.

“This sees nearly 350 students

attending music lessons every week. Just under 200 of these students performed in the Bevan Cup,” he said.

“Winners of each category were richly deserved. The standard of performance was outstanding, and it’s a wonderful testament to the work ethic of the students and the quality of teaching and learning taking place.”

To complete the Pathway Badge the Rangers are required to complete the promise activity and be enrolled, complete the Advocacy Certificate, and completed the three pathway certificates which are on leadership, safety and the outdoors.

Two Rangers were presented with the Peak Award which is a special award as it links many parts of the programme together and is half way to the Queens Guide Award.

The Peak Award requires the Rangers to complete a twelve by twelve challenge, complete six interest certificates, hold the Pathway Badge and complete 15 hours of community service.

Anastacia Austin and Cheyenne Sills received the Peak Award. Christy Lion-Cachet, Charlotte Walker, Emma Boggiss, and Cheyenne Sills were presented their Queen’s Guide Award, which takes three to four years to complete and demands a particularly high standard of performance in both effort and achievement.

“But it kept going,” Bruce said.

Cambridge High School had three bikes and two carts entered in the event, which was a great learning experience for the students, Bruce added. “There was some really cool innovative design out there, and if we’re doing this sort of stuff at schools, I think it bodes really well for engineering solutions out there. Hopefully this is the sort of stepping stone that gets them interested in either engineering at university or apprenticeships or something in that line,” he concluded.

Trikers take on Hamilton half Members of the Avantidrome’s Community Trikes programme took on the Hamilton Half Marathon on Saturday, competing in a special segment of the event where they rode their trikes over distances of 10 or 21km. Encouraged by their coach Rene Eales, who had supported the riders previously in training runs and in-house sessions, the Cambridge trikers each pulled off their personal best and came in under their expected time. It was the first time doing the competition for Joseph Leet, who gave it

his all despite having Cerebral Palsy, and for Colin Atkin, 56, who started riding at the Avantidrome after a stroke. Both completed the 10km segment, as did Helen King, 80, without a second thought to her age or the hills involved. Joseph finished in a time of one hour and nine minutes, Colin came in at 55 minutes and 14 seconds, and Helen five seconds ahead of him at 55:09.

Aaron Ure, coordinator of the Avatidrome Community Trikes programme, competed in the full 21km half marathon

Joseph Leet, 26, pictured with his support riders.

for the second year, finishing in one hour and nearly 20 minutes. Fellow triker Heather Brand didn’t hesitate in her first attempt at the 21km course, proving Parkinson’s wouldn’t hold her back, finishing in one hour and 48 minutes.

“Our support riders were a key component of the team, giving us the encouragement and occasional boot required to step things up,” said Aaron, “so a big thanks to Steven Leet, Richard Brand, Michael Atkin, Esther Ure and Tobias Ure.” “As coach and coordinator of

the Avantidrome Community Trikes I could not be prouder of the way the team chose their goals and solidly worked towards them with the help of our coaches and their family members. The challenges and fears they had to overcome around health issues and riding on the road were all very real and they did not step back from them. As humans and as athletes, the more we trike, the more we become aware of our need to continue to move and grow which in turn awakens the awareness that life does not

stop because the flow has been interrupted for some reason. We just need to adjust our course, work around the blockage and keep moving forward, one pedal at a time.

“You don’t have to be an athlete to return to the joy of riding that you knew in your youth, just come down and hop on a trike.”

Logan’s Woodloveto Change of plan for keep streak going five-year-old Love Affair Sam Logan got off the mark for the season with a double win over the weekend and is looking forward to the return of the promising Woodloveto later this year.

The Cambridge trainer prepared Lambrusco to win the final race at New Plymouth on Saturday, a Rating 65 2000m, and a day later she headed to Te Aroha for National Jumps Day and gained a deserved maiden hurdles win with Henry Tudor and a third in the other maiden hurdles with Lacustre.

“Lambrusco mixes his form and it was hard to know how good he’d go on Saturday, but back to maidens I thought Henry Tudor was a big chance,” she

said. “It was good to get on the board with the wins, but I won’t have much more racing for a while.

“Those three are going out for a spell and the only one I’ve got ready to race right now is Our Katy Cruz, who will run at Te Awamutu (next Sunday). She’ll be a good chance.

“It’ll be good to get Woodloveto back.

I think he’s a really good horse.”

Woodloveto created a favourable impression last season when winning three times and placed twice from just seven starts. The Redwood gelding ended his campaign with successive staying wins in the autumn, scoring over 2200m at Rotorua last March then over 2500m at Hastings a month later.

“All going well, I’ll have some nice jumpers for next year … Ngatira Gold and Zamora will be back and so will Henry Tudor and Lacustre.

I’ll also be getting Lambrusco’s jumping ticket. He’s been jumping since he was a two-year-old and he goes well. … I’m also looking forward to getting Lacustre over the Ellerslie hill next year. He went well on Cambridge horse trainer Sam Logan is looking forward to the Sunday and he loves return of Woodloveto (pictured) later this year.

Savabeel race horse Love Affair will commence her spring campaign this weekend in the Gr.3 Red Badge Sprint (1400m) at Hastings after a change of plans saw her pull out of last Saturday’s open sprint at Avondale.

The five-year-old’s Cambridge cotrainer Andrew Forsman believed the conditions of this weekend’s race are more in favour of his charge, despite the prospect of facing some tougher opposition. “She’s ready to go and we could have run her at Avondale but once we had a think about it, the Hastings option was a little more attractive,” he

said. “She was set to carry a pretty big weight at Avondale, whereas she should get in somewhere near the minimum at Hastings.

“While the 1400m isn’t ideal we think she is forward enough to cope with it. … We know she will be up against some pretty handy types that are being talked about for the race, but on what she has done so far she is up to the challenge.”

Given a decent break after downing class sprinter Volpe Veloce over 1200m at Te Rapa in late April, Love Affair has had a pair of trials to fit her for her opening assignment. “She comes to hand pretty quickly and we were pleased with the way she performed in the trials she has had, which were both on fairly wet tracks,” Forsman said.

“The main goal for her is to get some more black type so we will map out a campaign based on the options available… we will take it on a race-byrace basis.”

Forsman also confirmed that stablemate Lizzie L’Amour would have the late entry fee paid for Saturday’s Livamol Classic (2040m) and will take her place in the Quality mare Love Affair will resume at Hawke’s Bay this final field for the Group weekend.

Move to fight Parkinson’s

By Sophie Iremonger

People with Parkinson’s Disease in Cambridge can now hit the gym to fight the progression of the disease, with a local non-profit local organisation offering free strengthening exercise classes.

The Studio Community Health and Fitness Centre at the Leamington domain runs free Wednesday and Friday classes for those who have the condition, with the Wednesday class dubbed “Movers ‘n’ Shakers”, and the Friday class running Counterpunch Parkinson’s sessions.

Facilitated by volunteer trainers Julie Mazur and Neal Monzari, with the help of Mike Bland, the classes have helped people slow and even halt the progression of the disease.

“The people that come along get a lot of benefit from it,” said Julie. “The deterioration process stops for most of them, it slows and stops. They just love coming here because they feel good afterwards. … they’ve formed this bond, they all accept each other.”

The group has become something of a support group and social club as well as an exercise group, with members ranging from their 30s to their 80s. It’s also believed to be very beneficial for people with MS, brain injuries, stroke survivors and other conditions where the person is still able to walk.

“I love seeing the results that people get, and I love seeing how proud they are of themselves that they achieve things that they never thought they could do,” said Julie.

Research has shown exercise helps alleviate the effects of Parkinson’s Disease and slow its progress, and those who attend the local classes swear by it.

“It helps with our mobility, mobility is much better, muscles don’t deteriorate,” said attendee Lyn Izzard, who gained the boxing nickname “Lynnie Lefthook”.

“If anyone just wants to come and watch or give it a go they can without any obligation … we don’t mind people coming and sitting on the side and watching what we do,” Julie said.

So far, the organisation has sourced

grants from the Grassroots Trust and Pub Charity to make the classes free for those with Parkinson’s, but anyone else is welcome to attend with basic fees to cover facility costs - $12 per session, $10

for over 65s, or $120 or $80 respectively for ten concessions.

Those interested in finding out more about the group can contact Julie on 027 296 6003 or julie@thestudio.org.nz.

Boxing is one of the best exercises to help alleviate the symptoms of Parkinson’s, getting the left and right sides of the brain working together and thinking fast.

Walker back to third in world Cambridge’s BMX superstar Sarah Walker fought back from years of injury-laden adversity in Argentina over the weekend to finish on the podium at the UCI BMX World Cup. Sarah finished third in the penultimate round of the competition in Santiago del Estero – her first World Cup podium in seven years – behind current world champion Laura Smulders (NED) and the 2017 world champion Alise Willoughby (USA).

Sarah’s last World Cup podium was in London in 2011, and since has battled a number of serious injuries but remained determined to make her comeback at the highest level. She was third in a stacked qualifying heat ahead of Willoughby and fellow American Brooke Crain, who were both forced to qualify in the last chance heat.

The 30-year-old veteran won her quarterfinal in impressive fashion after storming out of the gate to lead throughout and was second behind American Felicia Stancil in the semi-final in a photo finish by just 5/1000ths of a second. She bounced well out of the gate in the final and while Smulders and Willoughby pushed Walker(LOCATION) was just as LOGO clear, - LANDSCAPE emphatic in third placing.

Earlier Te Awamutu’s Rebecca Petch qualified in the opening heat in second place but was edged back to fifth in her quarterfinal with only half a second separating third to fifth placings.

Youngest ever in Toyota 86 champs The 111 Report Cambridge youngster Connor Davison is the latest up and coming motorsport talent to confirm his entry for the 2018-2019 Toyota 86 Championship and it’s the start of what he hopes will be a productive period in the category as he transitions from karts to cars.

His first test in a Toyota 86 was almost a year ago and he’s clocked up miles since at Manfeild, Taupo, Pukekohe and Hampton Downs. He’s also been karting since he was six years old and has raced with success in both Australia and New Zealand. Connor also just happens to be one of the youngest circuit racing drivers in the country, as well as the youngest in the history of the Toyota 86 Championship.

They arrived on scene and surveyed the area with gas detection equipment, however no gas was detected, and business resumed as usual.

Cricket and football under one roof

By Sophie Iremonger The Cambridge Junior Cricket Club, the largest of its kind in the Waikato, is working to accommodate Cambridge’s growing population by joining with the Cambridge Junior Football Club to share their facilities and fields. Planning started in March, and will be set in stone quite literally when concrete is poured for new cricket pitches in the next few days, at the Vogel St grounds.

It will mean the two separate organisations can share maintenance costs, keep seasonal sport at the premises all year round, plus enable the cricketers to use the one location and host more home games.

“It’s exactly what we were looking for,” said Steve Carter, chairman of the Cambridge Junior Cricket Club, explaining that the organisation had been looking for a more accommodating facility for the past few years. “We really believe that the future of sports clubs in Cambridge is about coming together and seeing how we can work together. …

We’ve got a lot of kids that do both, so it’s hopefully the start of something quite special.”

“Last year we probably had a lot more away games than home games because there weren’t enough cricket pitches available,” said Gary Kelk, a Cambridge Jr Football committee member whose children play cricket. “So when I started helping out on the junior football committee I thought there must be a way

that we can use our community facilities collectively better.”

Having previously used pitches at Victoria Square, Cambridge Middle School, the Leamington Rugby Club and the Wordsworth St Domain, the cricket club’s nine Saturday teams will have “the opportunities to have more games in Cambridge rather than travelling away,” said Steve. “And if we’ve got more than four home games we can use the other facilities (in Cambridge) as well.”

Saturday cricket, which starts October 27, will move to the new location from mid-November, when the new cricket pitches are due to be completed.

Friday night cricket, which is split between the Square and the middle school, will move to the new grounds when the season starts November 9.

“There’s pros and cons of moving cricket away from the square, it is such a great place to have it,” Steve explained, “but we place more importance on having the one location, so if mums and dads have got a five year old, a seven year old and a nine year old they can just come to the one place and enjoy the occasion.”

Several local businesses have jumped on board to help sponsor the new pitches, and the Grassroots Trust will cover the new turf. “We’ve been really lucky,” said Steve. “We’re really looking forward to bringing cricket here, sharing the facilities, assisting the football club with that, but mostly having a spot where the community can come together and really enjoy sport in the one place.”

Cambridge shooters dominate

By Sharron Pirie, Cambridge Miniature Rifle Club, Smallbore Target Shooting Following the end of a successful season, students from Cambridge High School and St Peter’s School attended the Waikato Secondary Schools Championships for Small Bore Target Shooting in Tauranga. The competition was judged on individual scores and teams of three competing against six other schools in the Waikato. Cambridge High School had three teams – A team, Samuel Wilde, Abby Pierce and Nathan Allison; B team, Jack Redpath, TJ Udy and Blake Lawton; C team, Rowan Pirie, Christy Lion-Cachet and Zandri Ayes. St Peter’s School entered one team of three, comprised of Liam McDonald, Dylan Kharpal and Feonn Bull. St Peter’s took

out first place with Cambridge High School achieving second, third and fourth places.

Liam McDonald from St Peter’s came first in the boys’ individual competition, with Samuel Wilde from Cambridge High School coming third. In the girls’ individual competition Christy LionCachet finished second and Abby Pierce came third.

Finally, the Cambridge School Challenge Shield was held this week with friendly but competitive competition between the Cambridge schools. Cambridge High School came first, winning the shield over St Peter’s School and restoring some pride after the St Peter’s win at Tauranga. Head coach Glen Brownlee said: “I have been

Cambridge cyclist Hamish Bond has wrapped up his campaign at the UCI Road World Championships, finishing 25th from 53 starters in the 52km individual time trial at the competition in Innsbruck, Austria, last week.

“I am pleased that I put together a good ride. My power numbers where above target throughout the ride, in fact better than we had hoped,” Hamish said. “That was good enough for 25th which I should be proud of. At the same time, it is tinged with a reality-check of where I am at in this sport.

“I know it was a very tall order to turn from one sport to a completely different one in a short time. But I have dedicated myself completely to this project. What I have done has not been done before so there was no blueprint, and I’ve done it basically on my own with the help of friends, some good cycling people and some fantastic sponsors,” he explained.

The Olympic rowing champion turned to cycling just two years ago and won bronze in the cycling men’s individual time trials at the Commonwealth Games in April.

By Eunice Eccles, Cambridge Bridge Club Cambridge Bridge Club celebrated the 90th birthday of Saty Satanand recently, wishing him a belated happy birthday. Saty had already celebrated his birthday with his family in Australia. Saty was born in Fiji where he worked for many years in Government service.

In 1984 he was offered the opportunity to come to New Zealand, to take the position of High Commissioner for Fiji.

He accepted and moved to Wellington, retiring in 1987. Saty was an accomplished sportsman, playing cricket against the West Indies and soccer against England when teams from India, Pakistan and the UK visited Fiji, after playing in Australia. His favourite sport was hockey. In Wellington, he played bowls and continued playing tennis. It was after a game of tennis one day that his partner enquired if he played cards. Saty responded that he had played 500 previously and his tennis partner introduced him to the Bridge club. After that they continued to play together on a regular basis. In 1997, Saty moved to Cambridge to be closer to his daughter and joined the Cambridge Bridge Club. Today, he still follows all the different sports and gets great enjoyment watching them on television. Fantastic life, Saty!

FRIDAY OCTOBER 5, 2018

Asparagus “the aristocrat of vegetables” announces the arrival of spring — the season of fresh culinary choices. The name is derived from the Greek word Asparagos — ‘sprout’ or ‘shoot’. It is a hardy perennial, a member of the lily family and a close relative to onions, garlic and leeks.

Most of New Zealand’s asparagus is green but a purple variety is also becoming popular. In Europe, white asparagus is sought after — it’s white because it is grown covered in soil and isn’t

with Jan Bilton

Savour Spring

exposed to sunlight so the green chlorophyll doesn’t develop.

September 1 is the official start to the whitebait season on the West Coast. (It’s mid-August in all other areas.) Considered a delicacy and a luxury, New Zealand whitebait are the young of five different native fish. They measure between four-and-ahalf to five-and-a-half centimetres long and are caught during spring in tidal river estuaries as the fish move upstream from the sea. They are not related to the European whitebait, which are

small herrings.

Rhubarb shoots bright red tender stalks in September. It is usually served cooked but it can be eaten raw. But don’t eat the leaves. They contain oxalic acid that can poison you. To enjoy raw rhubarb, it is best dipped in something sweet first such as maple syrup or honey.

WHITEBAIT & KAFFIR LIME FRITTERS

CARAMELISED ASPARAGUS & BACON 16 asparagus spears 4 rashers smoked streaky bacon 2 tablespoons each: olive oil, maple syrup 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 1 tablespoon sesame seeds Preheat the oven to 190°C. Line a large roasting pan with baking paper. Place a wire rack on top.

Snap the tough ends off the asparagus. Cut the stalks to measure about 15cm.

If the bacon is thick, run the blunt edge of a heavy knife along the bacon to ‘stretch’ it. Take 4 spears of asparagus and wrap the bacon around the bunch. Place on the rack, bacon ends down.

Repeat with the remaining asparagus and bacon.

Combine the oil, syrup and sauce. Brush thoroughly over the asparagus and bacon.

Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the bacon is cooked. Serves 4.

Whitebait fritters are a favourite but you might also like to try them in omelettes and quiche.

250g whitebait 2 tablespoons flour 4 tablespoons milk 2 large eggs, separated salt and pepper to taste 1 kaffir lime leaf, julienned lemon-infused oil for frying 2 lemons, cut into wedges Rinse the whitebait and pat dry with paper towels.

Whisk the flour and milk until smooth then beat in the egg yolks, salt and pepper. Add the kaffir lime leaf.

Whisk the egg whites, until stiff. Fold in the flour mixture and the whitebait.

Heat 1-2 tablespoons of the oil in a non-stick frying pan. Shallow-fry heaped tablespoons of the whitebait mixture, until golden on both sides — 1-2 minutes Drain on paper towels. Serve immediately with lemon wedges. Serves 6 as a starter.

SHAVED ASPARAGUS & SPROUT SALAD Use the asparagus stalks only and reserve the tips for another dish.

Satay Salad Dressing: 1 tablespoon oil 1 small onion, diced 1/4-1/2 teaspoon chilli powder 1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter 1 cup water 1 tablespoon each: soy sauce lemon juice Salad: 5 tender asparagus spears 2 cups mesclun leaves 2 medium potatoes, steamed and cut into batons 1 cup crispy noodles 2 hard-boiled eggs, halved 1/2 cup each: snow pea sprouts, alfalfa & onion sprouts To make the dressing, heat the oil in a saucepan and sauté the onion, until softened. Add the remaining ingredients. Stir, until well mixed and bubbling. Cool.

Shave the asparagus using a potato peeler. Combine with the mesclun and noodles. Drizzle with a little of the dressing.

Layer the potatoes and salad on a serving plate. Top with the eggs and sprouts and drizzle with a little more sauce. Serve at room temperature. Serves 2-4.

It seems that all the major superheroes out there are starring in their own movies -- all but the Teen Titans. Robin is bound and determined to remedy that situation by becoming a star instead of a sidekick. With a few madcap ideas and a song in their hearts, the Teen Titans head to Hollywood to fulfil their dreams. Things soon go awry, however, when a supervillain plans to take over the planet, putting the very fate of the young heroes on the line. The film has received positive reviews, with praise toward the cast and humour.

(PG)

One of Marvel's most mysterious, complex and badass characters comes to the big screen. The film begins with Eddie (Tom Hardy) being released from prison on early parole, where he reunites with his wife and a daughter that doesn’t even recognise him. As a result, Eddie hits the drink and ends up passed out in the woods where a space debris crash-lands and the first symbiote creature emerges, bonding with him as he sleeps. Eddie develops superpowers after becoming host to the alien parasite and emerges as the lethal protector, Venom.

FRIDAY OCTOBER 5, 2018

Close racing at challenge The BNZ Corporate Challenge finals night was a huge success on Saturday night, attracting 43 teams to race across six categories.

The Avanitidrome’s programme and events manager, Del Woodford, said he couldn’t have hoped for a better finals’ night. “It was fantastic, with massive support for the teams from families, friends and colleagues, who all enjoyed a great night of racing at the Avantidrome,” he said, describing the atmosphere as “party-like”. “With the music pumping, face painting for the kids, food vendors on site and some of the closest racing I have seen at the Avantidrome, it was a brilliant end to a great event,” Del concluded.

Cambridge team the Compuhub Yahooligans, from left: Ryno Theron, Gerhard Erasmus, Fanus Fourie, and Thinus du Preez (captain) came third in the Men’s Italian Pursuit race with a time of 1.22.728.
