A growing school One of the first tasks for Cambridge High’s news headmaster has been to talk about expansion. In his five years at Sha Tin College in Hong Kong Greg Thornton was required to deal with such issues as removing monkeys from the campus. In his new role as headmaster at Cambridge High he will be adding, rather than removing. His new school’s role is around 1600, and as Cambridge expands, so the numbers rise. The school has recently extended and renovated its Science, Language and Library facilities and now it is looking at increasing classroom numbers. Plans for this year include renovation work and replacing the present S-Block. Greg, who hails from Auckland, has arrived in Cambridge with his wife Teresa and two children who are enrolled at Cambridge Middle and Cambridge East schools. He succeeds Phil McCreery who retired at the end of 2018 having completed 13 years in the role. The new headmaster shares one significant thing in common with the new board chairman – his surname. Karl Thornton is no relation, though. Greg Thornton previously served as deputy principal at Mount Aspiring College and taught at Takapuna Grammar, Manurewa High School and Rangitoto College, a school he also went to as a student. He has formed a strong early impression of his new school, and he was welcomed at the first powhiri at Cambridge High this year. Continued on page 2

as six-year-old Angel gets lost in the forest and meets native creatures such as a Kiwi, cheeky fantails, a giant snail, Puriri Moth and even a real live Kokako. Gold coin entry into the event will go towards Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari. “It’s a great opportunity for us to feed back to the community about this very special taonga species’ reintroduction to Maungatautari, whilst raising funds for our community conservation project,” said Maryanne Sambells, visitor services team leader at Sanctuary Mountain. Cambridge Autumn Festival Deputy Chair Alana MacKay said festival organizers jumped at the opportunity to bring Kokako’s Song to the Festival. “Not only is it a brilliant production, but the environmental and conservation messages are so important.” Another new feature to the festival this year is boogie pianist Jan Preston, bringing her show 88 Pianos I Have Known to the beautiful St Andrew’s Church, in a one-of-akind concert where audience members may never quite look at a piano the same again. Preston will share her passion for pianos through projected image, unforgettable biographical stories, original songs and piano music.

Roger and Bridget Saunders’ magical show Kokako’s Song will feature bird characters and a real live Kokako during the Cambridge Autumn Festival.

“I’ll be playing my widest range of material, due to the sonic and aesthetic environment of St Andrew’s,” Preston said. A huge line up of concerts, visual art, dance, a puppet show, carnival, fashion parade, art market day and more are planned for the 2019 Cambridge Autumn Festival. Visit www. cambridgeautumnfestival.co.nz to see the full programme. Event tickets will go on sale from March 1 at Paper Plus Cambridge and eventfinda.co.nz.

A growing school “It is a fantastic school with some really good staff and students here. I like the way Cambridge High approaches learning, and I think the support from the community is incredible,” he said. “It’s been a bit of a whirl wind - our container arrived this week with our final bits and pieces from Hong Kong. So, we’re busy unpacking, but it’s home. “We were really excited about the move back so that made it a lot easier. I think, by being away, you become really clear about what is important as a New Zealander, so I think I’ve come back with a fresh perspective of how good this place is, how well we treat each other, and I feel really enthusiastic about being in a school that does a lot of those things really well.” He is also impressed with Cambridge and sees similarities. “…the outdoor aspects, really good food, nice people, the town’s got everything you need

but it’s easy to get around it. In some ways that’s really similar to what Wanaka was like for us when we were living down there, the town’s got a similar feel to Wanaka.” It’s in stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong. “I was living in an area called Sai Kung. How is it different? I don’t even know where to begin. It’s got a lot of life, it can be loud, it can be crazy, it can be all these sorts of things. We often found that when we came back to holiday in New Zealand, we couldn’t imagine being in Hong Kong, the places were so different, and now that we’re living here, you can’t hold the two together. “My wife and my boy are determined to give rice a break for a while.” He has plenty of stories to tell about this previous school. “There were times, particularly after school, where I would have to go out and chase monkeys

off the site, because they would come in and try to raid the bins or steal food off people. There was one occasion when I was setting up for a staff meeting that a big rat snake [a constrictor] dropped down and started spinning around the room trying to find a way out – and it was up on the third floor too. Who knows how it got up there?” The playing areas were mainly concrete and astroturf, and room was limited. Greg acknowledged there were high expectations on his role, but he says he’s here for “the long haul”. “There’s a lot of cool things that I want to be a part of here, there’s a lot of growth and potential in our community… and a lot of stuff that I want to support and build. “Long term, I can see the town growing, and it’s exciting, but I think that it needs managing. And there’s some things that we’re really proud of in the town

and in the school that we want to preserve as we grow.” Greg is looking forward to engaging with the community and receiving feedback. “I think it’s important to be approachable particularly as you’re new in the role, and you need to hear and respect a lot of what has gone on before you, but also to hear some things that could update or that you can continue to improve.”

Bring us water…

CAMBRIDGE NEWS | 3

The forecast is for rain – but for many, the taps have been dry. By Sophie Iremonger We celebrate being the town of trees and champions – but those trees are thirsty. Cambridge has been consistently hotter and drier than usual this year. January and February - our driest month – generally brings about 140mm of rain. To date this year, there has been virtually none in some areas of Waipa. A rain gauge near Te Awamutu which recorded 133mm of rain in January 2018 clocked just 21mm last month and to this week had recorded 8mm in February – compared to 145mm this time last year. That’s bad news for residents relying on rainwater. Waikato Water and Cartage, one of two water delivery companies in the district, is now delivering an average of 400,000 litres day, carting roughly half of that around Cambridge, the rest mostly around Waipa and some further afield in the Waikato. That equates to about the water needed to fill an Olympic sized swimming pool every week. But averaging around two million litres a week is not unusual for the Cambridge-based company at this time of year. “I guess you could say business is booming,” said Darryl Brewer, manager at Waikato Water and Cartage. “This is pretty normal for how dry we are at the moment.” The company delivers its 13,000 to 14,000 litre loads of water to mostly rural families and lifestyle blocks, as well as the occasional farmer who’s bore water supply has run dry. “Some people have gone without water for a few days every load is pretty much a desperate situation.” Darryl said those in a sticky situation trying to save water should always make sure their hoses are turned off properly. “That’s how people tend to lose their water. And if anyone’s desperate we say don’t do washing - or take it to town.” Usually under these conditions Waipa would usually be

under water restrictions, but not this year. An upgrade last year to the Cambridge water treatment plant increased capacity by seven million litres a day – and the introduction of water metres has been credited with driving usage down by around 20 per cent. Under a special permit and meter, Darryl’s company hauls water from the town supply, its three trucks delivering up to 13 loads a day.

It has been a much busier start to the New Year this year – in 2018 the region was given a few good early soakings. “Last summer, before Christmas, we were this busy. But as soon as Christmas Day came it all died,” Darryl said. The last significant rainfall the district received was in the final week of December – but the forecast this week for the district was for five days of showers, starting today.

Fun run to help young Cambridge Lifeskills will be a beneficiary of the annual Waipa Fun Run in Cambridge on March 10. Organisers will donate $1 from the entry fees of every competitor – and in past years there have been more than 650 runners. The fun run, organised by St Peter’s Catholic School, features 10, five and two kilometre and teams events. Cambridge Lifeskills is a not-for-profit agency which provides free counselling for five to 15-year-olds in the Cambridge district. “Changes in society have

meant many children are now exposed to an increasing range of issues, including bullying, abuse, and family issues among others. Children often do not have the skills to deal with these issues,” the event website says. “Lifeskills aims to offer counselling, support and encouragement so that children/ young people are more able to work through these issues.” The fun run has attracted significant corporate sponsorship – and is also supported by the Cambridge News. You will find more information at www.waipafunrun.co.nz 638 runners and walkers took part in last year’s seventh annual Waipa Fun Run.

Lions gather at Karapiro By Viv Posselt

The high regard in which the community views the Lions organisation and its strong relationship with the Waipa District Council were celebrated at last weekend’s 2019 District 202L Lions Convention at Lake Karapiro. Almost 400 district Lions converged on the Don Rowlands Centre under the convention theme ‘On Ya Bike’. Guest of honour was Lions International Second Vice-President Judge Haynes Townsend, visiting from his US hometown in Georgia. He attended the convention with his wife Donna. A Lion for 40 years, he told delegates that kindness was at the heart of the work done by 1.5 million Lions around the world. You

got more out of doing good deeds for others than you put in, he said, adding that “all you take with you in this life is your reputation”. Other guests spoke to the sports-centric theme. Speakers included former Olympic medallist Sarah Ulmer, who was introduced by fellow cyclist Rushlee Buchanan, athlete Sonia Waddell, sight-impaired cyclist Mitchell Wilson and recumbent bike rider Joseph Leet, whose story was told by his father Stephen. Both aged 26, Mitchell and Joseph thanked the Lions for the assistance given them in combating their disabilities and helping them succeed in their cycling. In his welcome address, Cambridge Lions President Jim Goddin said he understood this was the first time the Lions had partnered with another charity to put on a convention. He was referring to the partnership forged this year with the Waikato/Bay of Plenty Cancer Society. Local Lions clubs have supported the society for years, having raised money for the Cancer Society’s Lions Lodge in Hamilton. The Lodge provided accommodation for 57 of the convention delegates. Jim also presented a cheque for $10,000 to the Cancer Society’s Lions Lodge on behalf of Cambridge Lions. Another keynote speaker was Waikato/ Bay of Plenty Cancer Society CEO for the past year, Shelley Campbell. She said the society provided free advice and help to around 750,000 people annually in the region, and said funding from organisations such as the Lions was “critical” in keeping the service going. Waipa District Mayor Jim Mylchreest and councillor Liz Stolwyk were both honoured with a Lloyd Morgan Lions Clubs Charitable Trust life membership award

in acknowledgement of the relationship between the Lions and the Waipa District Council. Jim Mylchreest said: “We have a phenomenal relationship with the Lions clubs in our district.

The event ended on Sunday morning with a special service acknowledging Lions members who had passed away during the previous year.

Judy’s book will help the blind By Viv Posselt

Not so long ago, Judy Hale was often seen walking around Cambridge with a guide dog at her side. Now trying to navigate a quieter life, she has packaged her story into a book that is being sold to raise funds for two organisations dear to her – The Blind Foundation and its Guide Dog Services. Bright Sunlight Dark Shadow is an 88-page testimony to Judy’s 78 years of joy and pain, tragedy and triumph … a life characterised by a determination to prevail against all odds. Locals already know her resilience from the years she campaigned for both the visuallyimpaired and their guide dogs. This book, she said, is her way of giving something back. “There has been plenty of sunshine in my life,” she explained, “but also lots of shadows. I wanted to write a book because none of my grandchildren ever met Grandad Barry. I wanted to tell them what Barry and I did. And I want to let people know that they can survive difficulties in life.” Judy’s husband Barry died in a 1977 stock truck accident. She was 37 and was left with three young children to raise - Shelley, Dennis (Denny) and Amanda (Mandy) - and a farm to run. Ten years after losing Barry, Judy received devastating injuries when her face was trampled and she was dragged across a paddock by a panicked mare. She sustained a fractured skull, smashed cheekbone, broken jaw, a shattered nose, the loss of her right eye and part of her memory; she was put into an induced coma. Meningitis set in eight days after entering Auckland Hospital, and for two and a half months she wore a metal frame with screws holding her skull together. “I lost

my sight, my sense of smell and some ability to distinguish between different tastes.” At the heart of Judy’s story is her courageous reclaiming of a life she had loved before the accident, but she needed help in telling it. That’s where Samantha (Sam) Cutler comes in. Sam is a personal historian with Forget-MeNot Life Stories. Judy moved into her Bupa St Kilda home three years ago, and it was there that she heard about personal histories when Sam and Forget-Me-Not Life Stories founder Christine Norton spoke at the retirement village’s community centre. “Judy and I got chatting and it took off from there … it’s taken two and a half years to get the book to the printers, and I now know Judy’s cupboards really well,” Sam smiled. “Because of Judy’s blindness, I needed to help find the old photographs and documents we needed. Many hours were spent going through those cupboards!” Judy chimed in: “I immediately felt comfortable with Sam and was quite happy for her to dig around.” The pairing has resulted in a book that not only documents Judy’s life, but makes its message particularly inspirational because of the kind of life she was determined to reclaim. Horses played a huge part in that life, from the time Judy rode to school and helped her dad shift cattle atop Smokey the pony, to the time when she and Barry bought horses for their kids, Judy gained certification in horsemastership and she moved into more serious equine pursuits. It was a hobby that went on to become a successful business. Horses helped in Judy’s post-accident recovery too, ably assisted by Ted, the country’s first guide dog trained specifically

for a farm environment. Encouraged by daughter Shelley to pick up things she had always loved, Judy got back in the saddle then settled into a life of breeding awardwinning horses, travelling and writing. She moved to Cambridge in 1994 and quickly found her feet, joining a walking group, doing motivational speaking engagements and helping others through the Cambridge Blind and Vision Impaired Support Group. She also raised funds for guide dogs and continued with her thoroughbred line. The book, Bright Sunlight Dark Shadow,

encapsulates Judy’s fortitude. She hopes it will inspire people to overcome their own difficulties and find a new path for their lives, just as she did. Twelve special padded and bound copies are being set aside for family and friends, while 300 soft-backed copies are available for purchase at $35 through PaperPlus. They can also be ordered through Sam: Samantha. lifestories@gmail.com plus packaging and postage. Proceeds will go to The Blind Foundation and Guide Dog Services.

Swimmers race in open water By Sophie Iremonger

St Peter’s Swimmers have been treading into deeper waters lately, competing in the New Zealand Open Water Champs and the NZ Secondary Schools Open Water Champs. The local club sent a team of students to the secondary school competition on February 9, where they bravely raced from the main

beach at Mt Maunganui, out past the waves and around Leisure Island to a sandy finish line on the other side. “The conditions weren’t pleasant,” an honest Tyler Tapper said. “It was a struggle to get out past the waves, they were really rough.” Used to racing longer open water distances, competing in a 1.25km race meant it was a much faster pace than Tyler was used to.

“So I was pretty tired when I reached the finish,” he said. But it paid off, with Tyler winning gold for 16 to 19-year-olds. “I was really happy with it,” he said. “I wasn’t expecting a gold medal so that was just a bonus really.” Tyler’s sister Malana braved the waves too, venturing the half-K journey out to sea and around the island-come-peninsula to

the finish third in the 12 to 13-year-olds 1.25km race. Fellow St Peter’s club member Courtney Elliott also earned bronze in the 1.25km race, for her 14 to 15 age group. Savannah Bourke raced the farthest of the St Peter’s swimmers, finishing third in the 12 to 13-year-olds 2.6km race. “It was quite a challenge for them in those conditions,” club coach Carl Gordon said. “I thought they did really well.” It was a tough race for one of the club’s top swimmers Luke Mitchell, 19, at the New Zealand Open Water Champs in Taupo last month. Racing the open men’s 2.5km leg, he had to contend with tendinitis in his shoulder, which began to flare up towards the end of the race. “Mentally getting over that barrier was a challenge,” he said, “because it’s just you and your thoughts out there. I started to think, oh no, pain, but then I just got into a final groove, did what I needed to do and went from there. I just pushed through it. “It was my first ever national title so it was a pretty cool experience for me.” Tyler Tapper finished

second behind Luke in the open men’s division, and first for his 16 – 17 year old boys age group. The St Peter’s Swimming Club also won top overall club at the New Zealand Open Water Champs out of 18 competing clubs. “It’s our first time we made top club in New Zealand for any national meet, so it was a pretty big deal for us,” Carl said. “The other two (next-best) clubs had more swimmers there, so it meant that our guys had to perform

even better, so it was pretty cool.” Ashleigh Allred, a visiting Australian racing for the St Peter’s club, finished first overall in the women’s 5k, in the second overall in the women’s 10k, and won her 16 – 17 age group. Amelia Glover was also third in the 2.5k 13 – 14 age group. The club’s legendary open water swimmer Hannah Blackwood was unable to compete in either events due to a whitetail spider bite injury.

Waipa’s environmentally-conscious salon Klova & Co Hairdressing is an earth-friendly salon leading the way in sustainability, organic haircare and recyling. Working to be as eco-friendly as possible, the salon recycles an impressive 95 per cent of its resources. “We are the only salon in the Waipa area who use natural and organic products alongside environmentally sustainable practices to such a high degree,” says Amanda Gill, who together with her husband Raki, opened their Hautapu salon in March last year. By reducing the salon’s ecological footprint, staff and customers alike are making a conscious effort to take care of people and the planet. Klova & Co Hairdressing partners with Sustainable Salons and resources used during each customer’s service are sent for repurposing. Proceeds gained from recycling the salons metals are donated to non-profit community-based organisations such as Kiwi Harvest. Plastics, packages, bags and old tools are recycled into new products. Left-over chemicals are recycled into water and used in road works construction, and hair gets sent off to support charitable causes such as oil spill clean-up projects, local community gardens and charitable wig making services. Natural, sustainable and organic products Klova & Co Hairdressing has introduced Natulique products, a brand which sits well with the salon’s sustainable and ethical culture. Scandinavian in origin, Natulique has become renowned around the planet for its raw organic ingredients. The company, which uses certified organic ingredients in all its hair care and colours, provides the professional hair colour industry with a safer and more sustainable alternative. “There are fewer chemicals and better functionality,” says Amanda. Introducing Klova’s new stylist Experienced hair stylist Megan Shepherd has joined the team at Klova & Co. Originally from Auckland, Megan has relocated to Cambridge with her family to enjoy the lifestyle benefits of the region. She brings over 25 years’ experience to the salon and is a master cutter who loves cutting short hair. Megan is delighted to align herself with a local salon dedicated to organic and sustainable practices, as she is passionate about using cleaner more ethical products which makes her very much in sync with Klova’s environmentally-friendly practices. Megan loves building relationships with her clients and prides herself on listening to her clients as she believes a stylist that listens to their client’s needs is so important. Megan is looking forward to building warm professional relationships in the place she now calls home.

Payday filing seminar outlines changes By Viv Posselt

Around 45 local employers attended the February 13 free seminar aimed at helping ease them into an Inland Revenue shift to a new payday information filing system. The seminar was organised by Webb & Wood Accountants in conjunction with People in Mind and Inland Revenue. It is one of a series of about 300 IRD seminars being held nationwide to get employers ready for the change; this was the first to be held in Cambridge. Webb & Wood Director Rollo Webb said the company organised the seminar as a service to the community. “We felt it was important for people with payroll responsibilities to be aware of the changes coming up on April 1.” IRD’s new payday information filing system has been available for use since April 2018, but the changes will become mandatory from April 1 this year, requiring employers to file their employment information every time they pay their staff. The intention is to streamline payroll processes to enable IRD to work more efficiently, and simplify the way employers file tax information related to their employees. Seminar attendees heard from IRD Community Compliance officers Melanie

Jeffrey and Helen Mackintosh that the changes would increase voluntary compliance, reduce IRD compliance costs, and make it easier to introduce policy changes. Over time, it will better integrate the tax system into business processes. It will also enable IRD to receive more timely and accurate information, which in turn will help IRD provide more certainty around an employee’s social entitlements, student loan repayments and Kiwisaver contributions. Those attending were walked through details of the changes and provided with a printout of answers to around 140 questions that have been asked during previous seminars. Businesses that have already done the preparation are able to go operational with the new system now. It was suggested that businesses ‘get in early’ if possible in order to access support and information as needed before the rush expected on April 1. Local businesses were urged to access as much information as possible at this stage, talk to their accountant, liaise with their software provider around issues of compatibility, and to review and adapt their payroll processes. More information on the new system is available at www.ird.govt.nz/paydayfiling.

FRIDAY FEBRUARY 22, 2019

Close loss for Leamington lacrosse It was a surprising result for the Leamington men’s lacrosse team when they faced off against the Hamilton Devils in the playoffs last week. Having beat the team twice this season, and losing to them once but just one point, they seemed to have a good chance at winning the round. This would secure a place in the final game of the season for first and second overall – but it wasn’t to be. The Leamington team lost once again by just one point to the Hamiltonians.

“I was apprehensive going into this game, as Devils had their team at full-strength with the return of an injured player,” Leamington coach Anthony Warrington said. “The Devils had a poor first half of their season but really became a force to be reckoned with in the second half of the season, so I knew they weren’t going to give us an easy game.” Leamington nabbed the first goal of the match when a Devils’ goalie went to intercept a pass but accidentally put it in the back of his own goal. The Devils quickly

came back with one of their own from their star player Eric Messick, weaving the ball through an aggressive defence and around the goalie. By half time the score was 3 - 2 to Leamington. The second half was just as close as the first, but the game tipped in the Devils’ favour when Leamington made a few overzealous challenges in defence, resulting in some penalties. “We spent a total of four minutes being a man-down and this was enough for Devils to claw their way back, despite our best efforts in defence to hold them out.” With ten minutes to go the Leamington side was down 6 - 4, managing to get one goal back to 6 - 5. But with the Devils in

possession for the last five minutes there was no opportunity to get another goal, and they narrowly took the win. “We just let ourselves down with our shot-selection and structure in offence and drawing penalties on defence,” Warrington explained. “But all-in-all it was a really good game of lacrosse, probably the best that our league has seen this year.” The result left Leamington facing Te Awamutu Marist in the final round for third and fourth. “I’m confident in our ability going into the next game, but we need to keep our heads screwed-on if we want to take it,” said Warrington. “We know what we need to focus on going into the game.” Lakewood, 94 Queen Street Cambridge Ph 07 8276689 2 Fifth Ave, Five Crossroads Hamilton Ph 07 8556689

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.

Softballers to represent NZ By Sophie Iremonger

A special softball tournament in Cambridge this weekend will be fundraising for the trip of a lifetime for two Cambridge boys. The Kevin Herlihy Softball Tournament at Tom Voyle Park on Sunday will remember the New Zealand softball legend with a day of all things softball – with fun activities and food accompanying a series of men’s softball games. Eight teams from Waikato, Bay of Plenty and Counties Manukau will be competing, kicking off at 9am. The Tom Voyle Sports Club is hosting the event in part to fundraise for two of its talented young members, Daniel de Jong and Jordan West, who were recently selected to represent New Zealand at softball tournaments in Australia. After just 12 months of playing the game Daniel was in disbelief to find out recently that he’d made it onto the ISA New Zealand U14 Boys team, which will participate in the New South Whales U14 International Challenge in Sydney over March 19-25. “I was just quite shocked really, because I haven’t really played too much softball. I just put my name down in case I got selected, and I did,” Daniel smiled. “So I’m quite excited.” For Jordan West it’s an equally exciting opportunity to make an ISA New Zealand team – competing in the New South Wales Softball Blues U15/16 Boys Junior Tournament in October. “I was really excited when I found out, kind of in disbelief,” he grinned. “I’ve done reps before but I’ve never put my name down for ISA. So this was the first time, and I’m pretty stoked that I made it.” The boys said the best part of the opportunity would be training under former Black Sox coaches and making the most of the ISA development programme – as well as having fun of course. Club coach Tyrone West said he was very proud of the boys.

“As a coach you can only show them so much, but it’s whether or not they take it in. But these kids are turning up and they’re wanting to learn. That’s what makes a difference. “I was really surprised at Daniel’s result too because he’s only played for a year and he’s already made the New Zealand side.” West attributed the fact that Daniel listens and applies what he’s told as a contributor to his rapid success on the field. The boys will get to enjoy a few tourist sites in Australia before developing their skills with ISA New Zealand, then playing a few round robin games before their big tournaments – where they’ll face off against teams from Australia and Japan. “Whatever these boys learn, they’ll give it back to the club when they come back,” said West. “It’s all about giving back to the community.” The Kevin Herlihy tournament this Sunday, February 24 from 9am will include a sausage sizzle, raffles, a canteen, bating cage, and possibly a dunking machine, in addition to the men’s softball games.

By Nancy Cooke, Cambridge Genealogy

Members of Cambridge Genealogy were challenged and informed about the possibilities of DNA testing at their recent branch meeting. Sandra Metcalfe from Te Awamutu gave a wide-ranging and informative talk to the branch, which is affiliated to NZ Society of Genealogists. She spoke about the types of tests available and from her own experience explained what results might be expected and how these results may help in discovering ancestors. Other branch members also shared some of their results, and helped to fan the interest of those who haven’t explored this research option. There is always something new to learn at Cambridge Genealogy, enquiries are welcomed.

Flying at barefoot water ski champs Skimming across the surface of the lake at up to 70km/h is one thing, catapulting off a ramp and flying through the air is quite another. By Sophie Iremonger That’s what 18 barefoot skiers from around the region opted to do at Piarere over the weekend, competing in the 2019 Waikato Regional Barefoot Water Ski Championships. “The rush of being out there on the water is pretty cool,” said William Leigh, third place winner of the open men’s division. William finished second in last year’s national barefoot water ski champs just a hair’s breadth from first place, and holds the Oceania junior trick ski record. With the championships made up of three rounds – trick, slalom and jump – things started quite well for the 2018 St Peter’s graduate, who moved from Piarere to Queenstown to study Adventure Tourism this year. He won the trick round comfortably, and finished fifth in the slalom and third-equal in the jump. “It was a bit funny,” William explained, “since normally we’d get two rounds of three jumps.” As the weather turned for the worse on Saturday afternoon, bringing a strong wind down the lake, competitors waited over an hour and a half for conditions to improve. With time limited, the competition resumed with one round for each skier instead of two, each consisting of two attempts, meaning skiers had just two chances to give it their best instead of six. In the open men’s jump, only two competitors landed both their jumps. Will placed third behind them, ahead of all the others with a failed attempt. “I would have liked to land the jump, that

would have got me first overall, but that’s just the way the sport goes!” said William, adding that he was “pretty pleased” with the overall result, considering he hasn’t been skiing during his time down south. “I was pretty stoked to come away with the win in the trick.” Wellington’s Bevan Kelly took out the open men’s division, followed by Tauranga’s Tom Mathis second. But it was women’s division winner, Wellington’s Georgia Groen, that dominated all competitors, setting the longest jump on the day which not only beat Bevan Kelly’s jump, but equalled the New Zealand women’s jump record. Adding to the impressive feat was the fact that Georgia did an inverted jump, a very rare style where the skier flies throughout the jump with their feet behind them, rather than switching into a long-jump style position to land, like most skiers. She’s one of only four skiers in the world known to do this. With a 22m jump, she beat Bevan Kelly’s jump of 21.3 and Tom Mathis’s nextbest jump of the competition at 18.5m. “Georgia did extremely well,” said Piarere local Joanne Leigh, one of the main organisers of the event. “We had to be patient this weekend, the wind was coming straight down the lake which held up competition on Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning. But when it died down we got some great skiing in. “We have some great young local skiers coming up through the ranks in Jack Mathis and James McGuire, two St Peter’s students from Te Awamutu.”

Jack Mathis placed third in the competitive junior boys division and James McGuire finished first in the sub junior boys division. “They produced lots of personal bests and loved skiing with the more experienced skiers, who they picked up some great tips from.” Many of the skiers will reconvene at Rotorua’s Lake Otaro at the end of next month along with the country’s best barefooters for the 2019 Barefoot Water Ski National Championships.

FRIDAY FEBRUARY 22, 2019

Successful day for Cambridge trainer Cambridge trainer Tony Pike left Ellerslie racecourse on Saturday evening flush with the success of producing a winning treble on the day along with the anticipation of potentially snagging an even bigger prize in two weeks’ time. Rejuvenated galloper Ever Loyal kickstarted the winning roll for Pike with an effortless victory in an open 1200m contest before talented three-year-old Surely Sacred cemented his favouritism for the Group One Vodafone New Zealand Derby (2400m) on March 2 with a comprehensive win in the Gr.2 Schweppes Avondale Guineas (2100m). Pike completed a top day at the office with promising stayer Special Light making it back-to-back victories with a win over 2100m in rating 65 company. He was delighted with how the day had panned out after

experiencing a frustrating run in recent weeks. “It was a really good day at the office, as to be fair, it had been a frustrating couple of weeks with a lot of very narrow seconds in some nice races,” Pike said. “He (Surely Sacred) was strong yesterday as the Avondale Guineas is the best form-guide into the Derby, so it was good to see him run out a strong 2100m. “Vinnie (Colgan, jockey) set him alight pretty early and he didn’t have anything to cart him into the race, so he has done a good job to hang on and win. “I don’t think the 2400m, with his pedigree, should be a problem and as threeyear-olds they can get away with it a little better than they do as older horses. “He’s out in the paddock this (Sunday)

Ever Loyal powers clear at Ellerslie to record a comprehensive victory.

morning and is nice and bright. He’s had a perfect preparation into the Derby and now he’s had that run over a middle-distance trip it’s really just a matter of keeping him in one piece for the next fortnight.” Surely Sacred is the son of five race winner Not Sure and is closely related to Pike’s Group One Queensland Oaks (2400m) winner Provocative. Bookmakers have installed Surely Sacred as the clear $3 favourite in their Fixed Odds market for the New Zealand Derby, ahead of Saturday’s third-placed finisher Vernanme ($8). Pike was also thrilled with the winning performance of Ever Loyal who finished runner-up in the Group Three Concorde Handicap (1200m) last start when having his first run following an injury-enforced

12-month layoff. “He’s a horse that has always had immense ability,” he said. Pike is now contemplating an Australian campaign with the son of Sebring, who finished third in the Group One New Zealand 2000 Guineas (1600m) last season. “There are some really nice undercard options for him over the next month in Sydney so it is likely he will head over there where his first start will be in the Liverpool City Cup (Gr.3 1300m) on March 2. “A long-term plan is to get his rating high enough and possibly sneak into the Stradbroke on a light weight.” The Group One Stradbroke Handicap (1400m) is scheduled for Eagle Farm in Brisbane on June 8.

A team of a dozen paddlers from the Karapiro Kayak Racing Club earned a raft of medals during the Canoe Sprint Nationals at Karapiro over the weekend. Racing with the support of coaches Paul Dutton, Taris Harker and Scott Bicknell, the team earned over 15 medals ranging from under 12s racing to novice men and under 18. These included gold for Ben Edwards and silver for Ryan Donderwinkel in the Tyro (12

and under) K4 200m final, and bronze for the pair when they raced together in the Tyro K2 200m final. Ryan’s brother Jackson Donderwinkel earned gold in the U14 K4 200m final racing with Wanganui Kayak Club, whilst the Karapiro team of Logan Ferguson, Jaden Collie, Nathan Browne and Oscar Donderwinkel finished third to secure bronze. The same team also earned gold in the 500m final, and Jackson earned bronze in that final with the Wanganui team. Jaden and Logan also went on to win bronze in the 200m and 500m U14 K2 finals, and each secured another bronze medal in the 500m and 5km U14 K1 finals respectively. Karapiro club member Sam Dickson, racing for the Arawa Canoe Club, earned bronze in the 100m, 200m and 500m finals, and Karapiro’s Archie Tonks won gold in the under 18 K4 200m final with a team from the Wanganui Kayak Club. “It’s really nice to be Karapiro Kayak Race Club’s paddlers all earned at least one medal over competing on our home the weekend, some five times. Pictured from left, top row, is Jaden Collie, base for nationals,” said Jackson Donderwinkel, Nathan Browne, Ryan Donderwinkel, Logan Tonks. “It’s a very relaxed Ferguson, Oscar Donderwinkel, and (front) Ben Edwards, Archie Tonks atmosphere with clubs (in boat) and Sam Dickson.Absent: Sean McCarthy, Dave Litton and helping each other out a bit.” Derek Stewart.

Students race in Coast 2 Coast

Jack Foley and Hector MacGillivray had little experience in the Coast 2 Coast race – the pinnacle of multisport races – but that didn’t stop them from taking on the challenge. The Year 13 St Peter’s boys competed in the two-day race along with 270 others in the individual division – kayaking, cycling and running from Kumara Beach on the west coast of the South Island to New Brighton Beach in Christchurch. The idea to take part began 12 months ago when Hector’s father, James, made a not so off-hand comment that they could do the race as a way to tick off part of the CAS requirements of the IB course. The idea took root and their initial journey began; preparing themselves to enter, race and hopefully finish the 243km race. Neither of the boys had any river kayaking experience and had to start from scratch, completing paddle coaching and spending hours on Lake Karapiro before achieving their grade two kayaking certificates on the Mohaka River. Finally, a dress rehearsal 52km paddle race down the Rangitikei River proved they were ready to take on the Waimakariri River in the competition. Neither of them owned a road bike either, let alone had any cycle racing experience. They began riding on secondhand and borrowed cycles over the winter, then joined in at the Te Awamutu Sports Cycling Club’s Tuesday night races to get the bunch riding and racing skills they’d need for the cycle legs of the Coast 2 Coast. Then training sessions of up to five hours, together with balance and river bed running simulation, to help prepare them for the event’s notorious mountain run over Goat Pass. Finally, settling on a mental approach and race plan for the two days, lots of logistics refined with the support crews,

and a ‘get there no matter what’ attitude, they were ready. Jack finished 34th overall and fourth in the secondary schools division with a time of 14 hours, 44 minutes and eight seconds. Hector finished 92nd overall and sixth in the secondary schools division in a time of 16 hours, eight minutes and seven seconds.

Teenagers take bowling title Submitted by Central Bowling Club Cambridge

Two teenage ladies from the Central Bowling Club Cambridge have won the Waikato U5 Ladies Pairs title. Esther Schuchardt (lead) and Amelia Hunt (skip), just seventeen years of age, have prevailed against older and in some cases more experienced opposition to win the title and bring the trophy to Cambridge. Under 5 Championships are for bowlers of any age who have played lawn bowls for less the five years. The competition was hot this year with many promising young bowlers participating. These young ladies delivered fine drawing shots and a consistency that belied their age, to dispatch the favoured pair from Tokoroa by 22 points to 9 in the semi-final. Into the final against a combined team from Hinuera and Frankton Railway it was game on. After the Central ladies raced to an early seven-point lead, the Hinuera combination fought back to be 12 all on the eleventh end after scoring six shots, with seven ends left to play. The Hinuera ladies then drew even with the score at 12 all, but the Central team fought back scoring six shots themselves. From then on it was one-way traffic and the Central team pushed on to win by 23 points to 15. These young ladies worked hard in an environment that many consider an ‘old man’s game’ but rather their athleticism, fitness and the freshness of youth prevailed. Central president Ray Rainsford praised the young ladies for their dedication and the work they put into their game

to reach this success, praising their coach Richard Thomas for his help. Their next assignment, which we will follow with interest, is the NZ Secondary School Bowling Champs to be held in Auckland in late March.

Canoe racing titles hard-earned By Sophie Iremonger It was “a long time coming” for Ashton Reiser at the Canoe Sprint Nationals & Oceania Championships at Karapiro over the weekend, winning the Men’s K1 200m final. “It’s bloody awesome, I can’t believe it,” he said of winning his first K1 title. It’s the first “decent go” the NZ men’s elite

kayak squad has made at the nationals since moving their training base to Cambridge last year. Fellow squad member Kurtis Imrie finished a fraction of a second behind Ashton in the final on Friday, but was still happy to make the podium. “I was hoping to get one position better but, Ashton did an awesome race,” he said. “It’s good competition, it’s a

strong field.” Canoe race legend Steven Ferguson finished just over a second behind them. “He was pretty good back in the day,” said Kurtis. “He’s come back and he’s showing us younger guys what’s up. It’s good to have him here challenging our squad and just making everyone race to the best of their ability.” Kurtis went on to finish second in the men’s K1 1000m final on Saturday, his target event, less than two seconds behind Gisborne’s Quaid Thompson. But he made up for it on Sunday in the MK1 500m, winning by 0.4 seconds over Thompson. Men’s elite squad members Max Brown and Ashton Reiser finished third and fourth respectively. Kurtis also shared a boat with Max in the

men’s K2 1000m final on Saturday, powering their way to first place in a stunning fashion over five seconds ahead of their nearest competitors. “Nationals went well for us, the athletes made some good improvements from last year,” said NZ Men’s coach Fred Loyer. “We might have athletes selected for the World Cups and U23 World Champs.” Paddlers who finished on the podium in the mens’ and women’s K finals earned valuable points towards qualifying for the New Zealand World Cup and World Championship team. They will go through to a trial event this weekend to secure more qualifying points, and then Canoe Racing New Zealand will announce a team in the next few months before the 2019 ICF Canoe Sprint World Cup kicks off in May.

FRIDAY FEBRUARY 22, 2019

with Jan Bilton

Piquant petal power Flowers and herbs have been used for flavouring and medicinal purposes since the time of the ancient Romans and Greeks. The Romans flavoured wine with roses and violets, the Greeks developed a thyme and honey herbal remedy for soothing sore throats that is still used today. Now edible flowers are used with gay abandon by chefs worldwide. This trend was also very popular 20 years ago but dropped right out of favour because it was totally overdone. I’m enjoying this renewal of culinary ‘flower power’ because my herb garden is chocker with marigolds, violas, geraniums, blue borage and dianthus. And a combo of herbs, baby salad leaves and edible flowers — with a drizzle of lemon juice — is an eye appealing start to dinner. It is important that all the flowers and herbs served are pesticide free, allergy-free, non-toxic and preferably organically grown. Check a good garden reference book or a reliable website for information on any plants that are questionable. Some varieties of the same species may or may not be edible so therefore it is best to reference them by their botanical name. Discard any flowers that taste really bitter. People with allergies should consume flowers with caution.

LENTIL, MINT & CHERRY MOZZARELLA SALAD

spring onions, mint and cherry mozzarella balls. Season. Drizzle with the dressing. Place the salad leaves in the base of two serving bowls. Top with the lentil salad. Great garnished with extra mint. Serves 2.

POACHED TARRAGON CHICKEN French tarragon has the best flavour. It is one of the classic fines herbes of French cuisine. Poached chicken: 1 small fennel bulb, sliced 1 medium carrot, sliced 2 sprigs each: French tarragon, thyme, rosemary 1 bay leaf 1 1/2 cups each: dry white wine, water 1 chicken stock cube 1.2 kg (8) skinned and boned chicken thighs. Sauce: 2 egg yolks 3/4 cup cream 2 large sprigs French tarragon, chopped 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 teaspoon cornflour Place all the ingredients for the poached chicken into a large frying pan. Bring to the boil then reduce the heat, cover and simmer for about 30 minutes or until cooked. Remove from the heat and stand for 10 minutes. Place the chicken in a bowl and cover. Strain 2 cups of the stock into a saucepan. Boil until reduced by half. To make the sauce, whisk the egg yolks, cream and tarragon in a jug. Whisk in a little of the reduced stock then pour back into the saucepan with the lemon juice. Mix the cornflour with a little water and stir into the sauce. Stir over low heat until it just begins to thicken. Return the chicken to the clean frying pan and add the sauce. Heat through gently. Serves 4.

PRAWNS ON WATERMELON WITH SAGE MAYO

Basil and mozzarella is the conventional match but mint and mozzarella is also a winner. Lemon Dressing: 3 tablespoons lemon juice 2 cloves garlic, crushed salt and pepper to taste 1/2 teaspoon sugar, optional 3 tablespoons olive oil Salad: 390g can brown lentils, drained and rinsed 8 cherry tomatoes, halved 2 spring onions, finely chopped 1/4 cup mint leaves, sliced 8 cherry mozzarella balls salt and pepper to taste 2 cups baby salad leaves Whisk the lemon juice, garlic and seasonings in a small bowl. Gradually whisk in the oil, until well combined Place the lentils in a bowl. Gently combine with the tomatoes,

Use borage flowers with discretion. Sage Mayo: 1 tablespoon very finely chopped sage 3 tablespoons each: mayonnaise, low-fat Greek yoghurt salt and pepper to taste Prawns: 1 1/2 cups white wine bouquet garni including sage 2 grinds freshly ground black pepper 12 large shelled and deveined raw prawns 2 x 3cm thick slices seedless watermelon Garnish: edible flowers and herbs eg viola, blue sage flowers Whisk the ingredients for the sage mayo until smooth. Place in a piping bag with a small nozzle Place the wine in a frying pan with the herbs and black pepper. Bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to poaching temperature. Add the prawns. Poach very gently until they turn pink, about 4 minutes. The prawns are best served soon after cooking — not chilled. Remove the rind from the watermelon and cut the flesh into 12 x 3cm cubes. Place 6 down the centre of two long plates. Top each cube with a cooked prawn. Pipe a blob of mayo on top. Garnish the plates with flowers and herbs. Serves 2 as a starter.

Tipple… NEW CIDER POPS UP IN WAIKATO

Bubble, fizz, pop… the sounds coming from local winery Vilagrad as its first ever cider hits the shelves this week. The limited edition apple cider is made from a unique combination of locally grown pink lady apples mixed with a champagne yeast. Winemaker Jacob Nooyen said this gives the cider a point of difference. “The champagne yeast gives the cider its unique flavour. Paired with apples from a local Ngahinapouri orchard, we’ve created a crisp citrus palate and a zesty dry finish - perfect for these hot days. ” With over 101 awards for his wines, Jacob said he always wanted to make a local cider. “Cider has become so popular in the past few years and to bring a locally produced cider to the market is even more special. We know our customers will love it!” A small batch made solely for Vilagrad’s restaurant sold out in weeks last season - a sign that this cider is a crowd pleaser, said Jacob. “We’re excited to be able to share our cider with a wider group of cider-lovers. We’ve only made a limited amount, so don’t miss out!” Vilagrad's new limited edition cider can be purchased at vilagradwines.co.nz, through the cellar door, and at participating stores Waikato wide. Vilagrad is a family owned and operated vineyard, restaurant and function centre - now in its fifth generation of winemaking. Find out more at vilagradwines.co.nz Supplied

Soggy Bottom at market Wide open space, the weather and a sense of adventure drew Jono and Sarah Walker to New Zealand in 2003. The journey took about a year as they drove overland. Their wheels finally stopped turning when they hit a block of rough hilly farmland on the edge of Hakarimata Scenic Reserve north of Hamilton. It was a place they wanted to call home, or more specifically Soggy Bottom Holding to reflect the terrain. The farm ticked all the boxes for the Walkers who were seeking land that was cheap, had water and was close to a big hospital for Sarah, who is an intensive care nurse. It is Jono’s face locals see every Saturday at the Cambridge Farmers’ Market. Soggy Bottom Holding has been part of the market scene for over a decade. Jono says market shoppers support food and produce that is not industrially processed and free of additives and preservatives. “They are after the taste of traditional recipes, like traditionally-made bacon that goes crispy in the pan, black pudding, and sausages with herbs and spices. Lots of Europeans live in Cambridge and they crave sausages like the ones they grew up with.” Having had free range pigs and owned a small forestry block in Scotland for a few years, Jono was no stranger to the land when he arrived in New Zealand. Over time, he and Sarah have developed their 24ha holding into an environmentally and economically sustainable small mixed farm. They’ve created ponds and planted thousands of trees to provide fruit and nuts, animal shelter and revenue from timber. It’s a harmonious environment for their animals. The free range pigs forage in the paddocks and woodland floor, the sheep and cows work the open pasture, and the poultry, says Jono, fit somewhere in between. Control over the process from paddock to plate is what Soggy Bottom is all about. Free-range heritage breed pigs, cows and sheep grown on the land are processed in the on-site butchery. The aim is to produce great tasting ‘clean’ food and sell it locally. And that is why Jono rocks up every Saturday at the Cambridge Farmers’ Market. “It’s a lovely little market with a friendly community of stallholders.” The market is supported by loyal customers who come each week for fresh organic produce, meat and fish. Passers-by also call in. In total, around 1000 people visit the market each Saturday. But over the winter, the Alpha Street site can turn into its own version of Soggy Bottom Holding. It becomes muddy underfoot. “It would be good to get more support from Council,” says Jono. “Improving hard-standing areas and making the site more weatherproof would make a huge difference.” Regular stallholders are also irked by the free wheelers who capitalise on the Cambridge Farmers’ Market. “We have people come and set up stalls just outside of the market. They take up car parks. Ideally, there should be an exclusion zone.” Meanwhile, the bustling, friendly farmers’ market attracts increasingly more shoppers keen to discover seasonal delicacies, organic produce and support local food economies.

Food ZEROwriter finds favour with local flavours

REPAYMENTS Well-known food writer Jan Bilton and her husband Ryan, a journalist and former FOR Michael 12 MONTHS television documentary writer, director and producer, arrived in Cambridge three years ago at the end of the berry season. With their children having married and settled down with their families in Auckland and Hamilton, they decided to sell their Marlborough lifestyle block and move to Cambridge. Jan says there were overwhelmed by the quality and flavour of the local berries. “People think of the Waikato as ‘moo loo’ country but there is such diversity here. We love the asparagus and fresh veggies. The local duck is delicious. There’s awardwinning beef, great venison, olive oil, nuts and amazing preserves - and I never knew there were 10 truffières in the region.” Jan Bilton grew up in Dunedin and undertook a food science degree at Otago University. But it wasn’t until she travelled overseas that her interest in different foods and flavours

developed. She lied for several months in Hawaii and attended a Chinese cooking school. Asian flavours are still a favourite of hers although she also loves traditional European cooking. “I love to fuse international flavours and foods and I am always on the lookout for new ingredients.” Through writing a weekly food column for nine regional New Zealand newspapers, Jan understands that her readers want quick and uncomplicated dishes. This has an influence on her recipe development. Eating at some of Waikato’s great restaurants is always inspirational and she loves visiting overseas food markets. She and Michael joined Cambridge Rotary soon after moving here. In August 2017, at a Rotary Cambridge brainstorming session, it was mooted that a cookbook would be a great fundraiser. The couple were approached to manage this. Having produced and published several cookbooks of their own, including Marlborough on the Menu which won the Best

Food/Wine Guide at Le Cordon Bleu World Food Media Awards, the couple were obvious candidates for the job. They suggested Taste Waikato, a cookbook to showcase the products of the region from Coromandel to south of Taupo. Work on the book began in January last year. The couple interviewed producers, and Michael wrote the text, which includes proﬁles and interesting and amusing intros on their foods. Jan developed the recipes and took the food photographs. It was pretty much a full-time job for six months and certainly a labour of love. “But it was a great way for us to become more intimate with the Waikato. It’s a big region,” says Jan, who together with Michael enjoy weekly trips to Cambridge Farmers’ Market. “We love the fresh-from-the-garden vegetables and fruit. The growers are happy to

share information about their products and are so friendly. I always have a shopping list but it generally goes out the window when I get there.”

Taste Waikato supporting the local community

Jan Bilton is a little disappointed that Taste Waikato, a cookbook that showcases diverse regional produce and supports the local community, cannot be sold at Cambridge Farmers’ Market, despite it being supported by several market members. Rules and regulations prevent the sale. However, it can be purchased through any Cambridge Rotarian, or on the Rotary Cambridge website (www.rotarycambridge.nz/ tastewaikato) or at a local bookstore. The price is $39.95. So far, $35,000 has been been raised to help local charities. To go in the draw to win a copy of Taste Waikato email your name to admin@cambridgenews.nz

Ushering in the Year of the Pig Tuesday 5 February is the start of the Year of the Pig in the Chinese zodiac calendar. The pig is the twelfth of the 12-year cycle of animals to appear on the calendar. The Year of the Pig augurs fortune and luck and signals the start of the new Chinese year. The festival is a major holiday in China and people travel great lengths to celebrate it with their families. While traditionally it is a time to honour deities as well as ancestors,

it is frequently regarded as an occasion for Chinese families to gather for an annual reunion dinner. Several rituals are associated with the new year, including a traditional house cleaning to sweep away any ill-fortune and to make way for incoming good luck. Other customs range from the decoration of windows and doors with red papercuts and couplets, to lighting ﬁrecrackers, giving money in red paper envelopes and eating dumplings.

Great start for stud's new owners Cambridge Stud experienced outstanding results at New Zealand Bloodstock’s Karaka 2019 Book One Yearling Sale late January. It was the best opening session that Cambridge Stud’s new owners Brendan and Jo Lindsay could have hoped for. The stud achieved a 100 per cent clearance rate and was responsible for the highestpriced yearlings on the first day courtesy of their Redoute’s Choice colt ex Griante selling for $800,000 and their Zoustar filly ex Imanana fetching $600,000. By the sale’s conclusion, Cambridge Stud was the second leading vendor by aggregate and also ranked as one of the top ten leading buyers. “We were very pleased that Cambridge Stud, in a softer market than 2018 and in its first year under new ownership, was able to meet the market and deliver a 100 per cent clearance of 53 yearlings,” said Cambridge Stud CEO, Henry Plumptre. “It was a great result for Brendan and Jo, but reflected on the

A Griante colt goes under the hammer at the Karaka yearling sale in January.

professionalism of our staﬀ and yearling crew led by manager Katy Smith. Our thanks go to them and to all our clients who sold with us this year.” The multi-million-dollar Karaka National Yearling Sale is a huge event for the thoroughbred breeding industry, with buyers from around the world ﬂying over to shop for what they hope will turn into a success story. Selling from Book One saw 489 of the very best yearlings available in the country sold to both local and international buyers competing for the compelling pedigrees and

progeny of powerhouse sires on oﬀer. At the completion of selling $67,206,500 was invested, representing an average of $137,437, median of $100,000 and a clearance rate of 77 per cent. It was the ﬁrst Cambridge Stud draft sold under the Lindsays’ ownership. Buoyed by the outcome and with several projects in the pipeline, the future of Cambridge Stud looks bright. The internationally-renowned stud was established in 1976 by Sir Patrick and Justine Lady Hogan. It was taken over by the Brendan and Jo Lindsay in April last year.

Probabeel wins Karaka Million

Cambridge Stud’s Savabeel ﬁlly Probabeel produced a devastating ﬁnish to emphatically win the restricted Listed $1m Karaka Million 2YO (1200m) at Ellerslie on the eve of New Zealand Bloodstock’s Book One Sale. The Brendan and Jo Lindsayowned Savabeel youngster made light of an outside barrier draw, rounding up rivals with 2 ¾ lengths to spare under Opie Bosson at the business end of New Zealand’s richest 2YO feature. “She’s a very talented horse with real X factor,” said trainer Jamie Richards, who excitedly awaits Probabeel’s three-yearold campaign.

“She’s a big ﬁlly at 16 hands high, and was a late foal. Her family hasn’t done anything at two, so what she is doing now, she is doing on sheer ability and will only improve on.” Probabeel demonstrated ability from day one, debuting for second before going on to win each of her three starts since. Bred and sold by Waikato Stud, Probabeel is a daughter of Savabeel and the Pins mare Far Fetched, and was selected by David Ellis at the 2018 Karaka Book One Yearling Sale for $380,000. Remarkably this is the third consecutive Karaka Million winner to be selected by Te Probabeel produced a devastating ﬁnish to win the Listed $1m Karaka Million 2YO. Akau’s David Ellis.

World class show jumping at Takapoto Takapoto Estate show jumping brings a slice of world-class European-styled equestrian competition to the home of the horse world in New Zealand. It has marked the dawn of a new era for New Zealand showjumping. Launched last year, the park-like grounds have gone through considerable development and this year competitors and spectators alike will be treated to something quite special. More than a half a million native trees grace the estate’s stunningly landscaped 242ha of land that rolls gently down to the shores of Lake Karapiro. Nestled within is the 19,930sqm Bellevue Main Arena and viewing areas that feature low limestone walls and a large marquee for VIP events. The APL Sand Arena oﬀers a second competition area. Takapoto Estate philanthropists Mitchell and Kate Plaw both grew up in

the Waikato and are deeply entrenched in New Zealand high performance sport, pathway and community sport. “This is their way of giving back to the community,” says Takapoto Estate Show Jumping spokesperon, Diana Dobson. “Takapoto Estate is a brand synonymous with quality – whether it be world-class equestrian, its awardwinning wines or supreme Angus and venison.”

Pack a picnic

Relax on the arena’s grassy banks and enjoy some of the very best showjumping in New Zealand. This year oﬀers 747 combinations, including France-based Takapoto Estate rider Samantha McIntosh, who has ridden at Olympic Games and World Championships, along with top Australian riders, will compete for

more than $142,000 in prize money over the two weeks. The event runs February 21 – March 3. “The investment by the Plaws in New Zealand showjumping is second-tonone,” says Dobson. “They have sought to create the very best in footing for horse and rider, bringing in international experts to ensure just that.” The aim is to create better competition surfaces to develop young horses that can go on to be world-beaters. “This event lifts the standard of New Zealand showjumping to a whole new level. It has been applauded by riders, spectators and sponsors. It leads the way for the nation and can only mean better things for the future.” Admission to the grounds during the week is free. GA and VIP tickets are Race horse trainer and showjumping competitor Catherine Cameron available for the weekends. https:// (Cambridge) and Charlton Bazaar competing in the Silver Tour.

PGO Horticulture Ltd a growing business A Tirau family has been driving the local hydroponics industry for the past 10 years. In 2009 Neville Stocker, along with two others, established a business in Matamata. Six years down the track, he took over ownership with his wife Diane, although it’s been a family affair from the outset. Son Daniel worked on and off for PGO Horticulture and Hydroponic Supplies from 2009, and has been full-time for close to five years. “PGO Horticulture Ltd came together to provide outstanding service and a comprehensive range of horticultural and hydroponics products,” says Daniel. The business specialises in greenhouse automation, fertiliser dosing, crop specific nutrients manufactured in house and pH correctors, system design, supply and installation, and a whole range of consumables such as Rockwool. In recent years the huge increase in berry fruit has impacted positively on the industry. “It’s also great for the end consumer as it has extended the growing season by a couple of weeks,” says

or simply wanting nutrients and additives, to commercial crop growers and other installers of hydroponics systems. As a result, the business has completed jobs all across the country, as well as in India, Fiji and Niue. PGO also enjoys close relationships with other hydroponics companies in New Zealand, Australia and USA. And is working with family tricky? “You say

Daniel, who believes any area that gains a good grower and a good hydroponics system can benefit local restaurants and other businesses which rely on fresh vegetables. “We also enjoy helping out hobby growers and small-time growers with odd plans. You are only limited by your imagination.” These small growers, he adds, have access to systems that can grow fresh fruit and vegetables in places that are not suitable to be growing in soil, such as on a deck. PGO’s manufacturing process has changed with updates in dangerous goods laws and amendments to NZ Health and Safety laws. There are tighter control on imports of certain products, and new requirements around site certification on some ingredients carried on site. PGO has struggled to find staff with suitable hydroponics backgrounds. “We have realised that this year we should be focusing on training,” Daniel says. “There are very minimal training options in the industry. Most courses offered are not NZQA approved, and are online courses. We have tried a horticulture course and a variety of papers but none are very relevant to our industry.” PGO supplies to a broad spectrum, from end consumers looking at setting up a system

things to your family that shouldn’t be said to bosses or employees, but on the flip side, there is a lot of room for open discussion and general feedback.” For Daniel, the hardest part is separating business and personal lives. “But I have seen flexibility as a major benefit in working here. It might just be that my parents are cruisy, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

BioGro NZ celebrates its 35th anniversary BioGro is New Zealand’s largest and best-known certifier for organic produce and products. Owned by the Soil & Health Association of NZ, BioGro certifies and accredits over 750 producers, farmers and manufacturers across New Zealand and the Pacific. The BioGro logo is the most recognised organic logo in New Zealand and certified producers carry the BioGro logo on their products to assure customers that the organic produce they buy is genuine. The internationally-recognised logo guarantees that a product is made without animal testing, genetic modification and the routine use of synthetic pesticides. Although organically certified since 31 May 1993, Monavale Blueberries but has been growing organically since first establishing its orchard in 1985. “Growing organically means we don’t use herbicides, pesticides or insecticides,” explains Marije de Groot. “There are no genetically modified inputs and no use of chemical fertilisers. All products used to grow are from natural sources.”

She says the advantages of eating organically include more food with more nutrients, outstanding flavour and health benefits. “Organic food does not contain genetically modified organisms and is better for the environment. “Spray-free does not mean organic. No-one actually knows what it means. Often herbicides, pesticides, insecticides and chemical fertilisers are still used on the crop but just not sprayed on the fruit. The plant and fruit take in the nasties through their root system.” De Groot is pleased that the government is finally legislating on who can use the word ‘organic’ so only certified organic producers can use it. “Hopefully this will clarify issues around the use of words such as spray-free, natural, GMO-free, pure and non-chemical that feature on packaging.” Her advice to customers is that they should look for certified organic products to ensure they are purchasing organic products that are adhering to the organic principles and are audited by independent agencies.

Varied results this berry season Fruit quality is subject to various climatic factors which can cause damage and aﬀect shelflife. Optimum growing conditions are required to maximise fruit quality, and this season hasn’t been easy for some growers.

Kamal Dhillon of Ruakura Berry Farm is in his third growing year. “The business took a major hit in December with the rain and humidity creating tropical-like weather. The rain damaged the fruit and the humidity affected it, which meant we couldn’t keep it long. It’s been a tough season and we’ve taken a massive hit.” Ruakura Berry Farm prides itself on fruit quality. Berries are sold fresh in-store and via local markets throughout Waikato, Auckland and Nelson. They can also be picked on site. With 44.5ha of fully certified organic crop, Monavale Blueberries is New Zealand’s largest certified organic blueberry orchard. The business started as a small 8000sqm enterprise in 1985

growing organic blueberries, and has expanded significantly. Thirty different varieties are grown, allowing the season to start in early October and end in late April/early May, depending in the first frost. In line with an increased orchard size, a brand new state-of-the-art pack-house was built in 2017 to process the increased volumes of fruit, which are produced for local and export markets. The business also supplies supermarkets, organic stores and local fruit and vegetable stores in New Zealand under Monavale Blueberries, Driscoll’s Organic and Pam’s Organic labels. “During the height of our season, February and March, the orchard can produce in one day what New

Zealand consumes in a week, so export markets are also very important,” says Marije de Groot. Monavale Blueberries exports to Australia, Malaysia and Taiwan. “The weather in December was a lot wetter than usual, and in January a lot hotter and drier. The crop this year has been good. We are approximately half way through our harvest season at the moment.” And with wholesale prices being signiﬁcantly lower so far this season, the consumer beneﬁts.

Say cheese to Chinese pizza The odds are high that the pizza you order in China is topped by cheese produced at Fonterra’s Hautapu site. The site exported around $13m in products to China for consumption in 2017/18, including a significant amount of cheese, which is used to cover about half of the pizzas made in China. “Across the Waikato, our latest figures show that we exported $1.2 billion of dairy products to China last financial year, working out to about $2,500 per person in Waikato,” says Fonterra Hautapu site manager, Shane Harris. Nationally, this equates to 31% of the $3.8 billion / around 740,000 metric tonnes of product sent to China in 2017/18 from across New Zealand. The figure is particularly

impressive given that 11 per cent of all dairy in China, the world’s biggest market, comes from Fonterra farmers. Harris says it’s a proud moment to see products made in Hautapu end up on plates in big cities like Beijing and Shanghai. Those links are strengthened by the Chinese community who will be celebrating the Year of the Pig in their own way in New Zealand. The Hautapu site has around 300 employees and has been a leader in dairy manufacturing for over 120 years. It’s the headquarters of Fonterra’s protein and cheese technical teams in New Zealand, Fonterra’s only producer of the special high-value milk protein lactoferrin and its only organic cheese producer.

Regional judging under way for the NZ Dairy Awards Judging for the annual New Zealand Dairy Industry Awards is in full swing. The awards attracts farmers from across the country, working in all levels of the dairy industry. Three award categories give entrants the chance to challenge themselves, earn a regional or national title and to share in substantial regional and national prize pools. The competition, which celebrates its 30th anniversary, has significantly impacted on the careers of its entrants and winners over the past three decades. Waikato’s regional preliminary judging was held from 12-14 February, with final judging for the top five entrants taking place from 25-28 February. The regional awards dinner, on 11 March at the Don Rowlands Centre, has adopted

the theme, Through the Years. Waikato regional co-manager, Phillip van Heuven, says regional dinners throughout the country are themed for diﬀerent eras. “Waikato will have a 1950s ﬂavour.” The NZ Dairy Awards highlight the work and achievements of farmers. “There is a lack of understanding about what good farming is,” says NZ Dairy Industry Awards regional ambassador Rosalie Piggott. “We have a lot of great farmers doing amazing things, who take excellent care of their animals and the environment. It’s their livelihood so best practices are in their best interests.” Awards include Dairy Trainee of the Year, Dairy Manager of the Year and Share Farmer of the Year for 2019.

New names go on football sevens trophy By Josh Easby

Fresh names will be etched on the men’s Cambridge Sevens football trophy after two teams with no previous wins at the tournament played out an exciting final. Colombia+2, entering for the first time, beat Te Awamutu Red 2-0 in the final to take home the Calnar Trophy from John Kerkhof Park. Thirteen teams contested this year’s sevens, under hot sun, and after group play, five sides qualified for the knockout stages. First to go at the sudden death stage were

dual past winners Young Gunners who lost to another past winner, Kawerau Sports, after a penalty shoot-out. Kawerau then bowed out in the semi finals, losing to Te Awamutu Red. Meanwhile, Brocelona – a team made up of Cambridge players – lost their semi-final to Colombia+2. As usual, spectators were treated to plenty of spectacular goals while many of the teams benefitted from a hard workout on the pitch, with teams playing between three and six half-hour games each.

Congratulations to Annie Bannister who won our ticket giveaway to the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra’s show in Hamilton on Friday. We hope you enjoyed the concert! Congrats must also go to Celine Palmer, a Canadian visiting her family in Cambridge, who won our book giveaway for Grace Andrews’ Friendship Book. Celine won two copies for her twin granddaughters Makena and Keeley – we hope they have a lot of fun using this interactive book.

Do you know Wendi O’Connor? Lucy Lynne has lost contact with her dear friend Wendi O’Connor and hopes that readers might be able to help put them back in touch. She has learned that Wendi no longer lives at her old address, since having a stroke. Wendy’s son is named Doug, his partner Jacinda, and her daughters are Sheryl and Alison. Sheryl is believed to be living in Cambridge. If Sheryl or anyone who knows Wendi reads this, please contact Sophie at the Cambridge News office on 07 827 0005 or email sophie@cambridgenews.nz and we will put you in touch with Lucy.

(R13)

This wonderful movie is a magical ode to comedy's greatest duo. The true story of Hollywood's greatest comedy double act, Laurel and Hardy, is brought to the big screen for the first time. Starring Steve Coogan and John C. Reilly as the inimitable movie icons, Stan and Ollie is the heart-warming story of what would become the pair's triumphant farewell tour. With their golden era long behind them, the pair embark on a variety hall tour of Britain and Ireland. Despite the pressures of a hectic schedule, and with the support of their wives Lucille (Shirley Henderson) and Ida (Nina Arianda), a formidable double act in their own right, the pair's love of performing, as well as for each other, endures as they secure their place in the hearts of their adoring public.

(R13)

A likeable, light-hearted and comical charade of slapstick and blunders, 'Marry Me, Dude' is a feel-good comedy that transcends language barriers, (it has English subtitles). The comedy revolves around Yassine (Tarek Boudali) and Fred (Philippe Lacheau), male buddies who embark on a sham gay marriage in France so that Yassine, who’s Moroccan, can continue staying in the country. Unfortunately, a dogged policeman is out to prove that their marriage is fake, Fred’s girlfriend is rather unhappy with the situation, Yassine’s highly traditional mother comes for a visit and his old love interest re-enters his life. The pair have to juggle the pretence of being in a gay marriage without ruining their respective lives. The film handles physical humour well; scenes are snappy and quick without feeling rushed, and there’s barely a wasted minute or boring second because events unfold at a speedy pace throughout the movie. Boudali doesn’t just play the protagonist of the film — he’s also the director, and he does admirably in both roles. His comic timing is superb, as are those of his co-stars. Yassine, the well-meaning but completely clueless character, holds the film together since he’s the one who triggers the inciting incident. “Marry Me, Dude” is proof that good comedy transcends language barriers, with audiences bursting out laughing during screenings.
