Paul Shaw has been fighting fires all summer – on both sides of the Tasman. By Sophie Iremonger

Waikato’s principal rural officer spends most of his time assessing risks, issuing fire permits, managing rural fires and working with communities to reduce fire risk. But in the past few weeks he’s spent time saving Australian towns from perishing, managing operations for eight massive fires covering tens of thousands of hectares in Tasmania as part of a 28-person deployment across Tasmania by Fire and Emergency New Zealand. A day after returning from two weeks in Tasmania, he was called in to join the crew which fought the mid-February Nelson fire, the country’s largest forest fire since 1955. “It was quite amazing, the scale and size of it, but it’s what we train for,” the Lakewood resident explained. Some fires have been so fierce that water would evaporate before reaching the flames. “You don’t want fires to happen, but when they do, it’s an opportunity to put into practice what you spend years training for.” “A total of 200,000 hectares in Tasmania have burned, plus they’ve got fires in New South Wales, Victoria… they were just really stretched for resources. “We get called in on these really big ones where local resources won’t be able to help.” With rescue efforts stretched thin, and raging fires sometimes impossible to extinguish, in some cases firefighters had to light their own fires to stop wildfires reaching towns. Such was the case with the 3000-hectare Lynch Hill fire, where Paul and his crews saved the town of Zeehan by burning a protective barrier under safe conditions so that it couldn’t catch fire again.

Cambridge Autumn Festival goers are in for a treat, musicians Neil Billington, Richard Adams and Nigel Gavin are coming together for a special concert at St Andrew’s Church. Neil Billington is one of New Zealand’s leading exponents of the harmonica, he’s equally at home whether playing the blues in the ‘Chicago-style’ of Little Walter or reflecting the more sophisticated jazz sensibilities of Belgian jazz great, Jean ‘Toots’ Thielemans. Neil covers a range of genres, from oldtime pre-war blues through to the great Chicago blues harp masters, to the ballads of the American song-book and jazz standards of Charlie Parker and Miles Davis. Richard Adams is a master of the jazz violin and will be familiar to jazz lovers through his band The Nairobi Trio as well as his work as an abstract painter. Richard’s music is contagious, expressive, and much of it spontaneously improvised. As well as re-working jazz standards he

The Jews Brothers Band

Linn Lorkin and Hershal Herscher, the talent behind last year’s Festival favourite “French Toast”, will be bringing their group “The Jews Brothers Band” to the 2019 Cambridge Autumn Festival. Joined by guitar virtuoso Nigel Gavin (Robert Fripp’s League of Crafty Guitarists, Gitbox Rebellion), bassist Peter Scott (Rhythm section player for Jon Clearey and the Savage Mooses, The Doormen, Dr “Desitively Bonnaroo” John and The Madness), and saxophonist John, Lorkin and Herscher bring together a wealth of talent in this exotic and eccentric band. With their origins over twenty years ago at the height of the klezmer music revival in the USA, the band’s repertoire has morphed from traditional tunes to originals with the same vibe, although they still begin each concert with a medley of old wedding staples. As Hershal puts it, “I believe that by starting with a few of

skilfully crafts original pieces, many of which evoke images of New Zealand’s geographic beauty and cultural diversity. The third member of the group is Nigel Gavin, regarded as “one of New Zealand’s musical treasures”. Nigel’s eccentric range of musical projects has seen him contribute to an astonishing variety of groups including the Nairobi Trio, the Fondue Set, the Jews Brothers, and the Blue Bottom Stompers, among others. Whilst best known as a guitar virtuoso, he also plays banjo, mandolin, bass - indeed, almost anything with strings. Nigel’s prodigious musical imagination and astonishing technique combine with scene-stealing solos and improvisation to make him an outstanding performer.

A tale of four dogs: hounds signed up

CAMBRIDGE NEWS | 3

Rain at last

Morph and Mindy, Bailey and Bonnie – they’re the latest potential additions to Cambridge’s dog donor pack. More dogs have been signed up as donors at Cambridge Vets in the wake of a Cambridge News story about a greyhound turned “bloodhound”. Two greyhounds and two Labradors were registered in the past fortnight to undergo the free blood typing process and health check which determines whether dogs or cats can be donors. Corey Regnerus, one of the vets who helped save Odom’s life last month with the help of Disco the greyhound, said having a pool of animals to contact in emergency situations is vitally important. “When we need a blood donor, we tend to need them urgently, so the more we have on file, the more chance that we have one available when it really counts.” Corey was prompted by the Cambridge News article to finally sign up his mother and daughter Labradors Bailey and Bonnie for the donor list. He had planned to sign them up for some time. “They love coming in to visit the clinic, it really is like bring your child to work day.” “We would really like to acknowledge the

Farmers and residents reliant on rain water would have been relieved to see rain fall across the district over the weekend. This photo, taken on Maungatautari Mountain overlooking Roto-o-rangi, shows the beginning of Friday’s downpour. 11mls of rain fell over Friday and Saturday, with another 3.5mls recorded Sunday night. Experts say the small bout of rain wasn’t enough to replenish district’s dry state of affairs. Though we still have plenty in our town water supply, the environment itself remains brown and mostly dry. Paul Shaw, principal rural officer for the Waikato, said the district would need at least a week of steady rain to dampen the environment enough to reduce overall fire risk.

Council election only months away

many and varied animals we’ve had over the years that have been life savers, most of them are the staff dogs and cats and all of them have donated several times in their lives.” Cambridge residents Andrew and Lana Martin have also signed up their greyhounds Morph and Mindy for the emergency service. “We perform a full health check on the animal to ensure they are in good standing health and have no obvious illness or injuries that might exclude them from becoming a donor,” Corey explained. “They then have a blood sample taken and sent to the lab for screening the blood type. The result is sent back to us and we inform the owner what blood type they are and keep their contact details on file.”

Corey said Odom, who was saved as a result of a blood transfusion with Disco’s blood, was still doing fine after his brush with death last month. “He has a long road of recovery ahead of him still, and likely lifelong medications for preventing a relapse, but he and [owner] Michelle are very happy.” Disco, as Ring the Bell, won the $88,000 Duke of Edinburgh Silver Collar final at the Manukau Stadium last June to become the first dog to win it two years in a row. He also holds two track records in New Zealand. Veterinary services use a blood bank in Palmerston North for blood transfusions, but in emergency situations it pays to have Waikato based, pre-tested animals ready and available in emergency situations where time can make all the difference.

Work is already underway preparing for local body elections in July, which will select a mayor, councillors and community board members for the Waipā district. At its Council meeting this week, Waipā District Council confirmed that, as per the 2013 and 2016 elections, the order of candidate names in the 2019 voting documents will appear in random order. This means every voting paper will have candidates ordered randomly by their surname. Nominations in local body elections throughout the country open on Friday 19 July and close at noon on Friday, 16 August. Postal voting papers will be delivered from 20 September with voting closing at 12 noon on Saturday, 12 October. At the same time as Council elections are held, voters will also be asked to vote for Waikato Regional Council councillors and Waikato District Health Board board members. Council said anyone interested in standing for Council or a Community Board is encouraged to attend meetings over the coming months. Waipā’s meeting schedule and further information is available online or at council offices.

Students help kiwis settle in By Sophie Iremonger

Twelve Roto-o-Rangi School students played a part in reducing the decline of the western North Island brown kiwi last week, tramping their way through rugged bush to find the perfect spot for the maunga’s newest residents to nest. Jello and Lattitude, month-old kiwis from Rotorua’s National Kiwi Hatchery, stopped in at the school on Friday morning on the way to their new home on the western side of the mountain. Bill Garland, a founding trustee of the Maungatautari Ecological Island Trust, suggested the kiwis stop for a visit at the school on the way to his farm, where they were released just beyond the fence in native bush. It was the second time this breeding season a kiwi release has happened on the Garland farm. When the season kicked off in October,

so began the Kiwis for Kiwi national charity’s goal to release 500 kiwi into the 3400 hectare ecological island over the next five years. Jello and Lattitude were the 22nd and 23rd of the 500 birds to move to Maungatautari, both being found as wild eggs in unprotected bush in Tongariro before being sent to the hatchery. They add to a current population of about 250 – 300 kiwi on Maungatautari. On their way up from Rotorua, they stopped in for a visit at Roto-o-Rangi School in what must have been the quietest and most wellbehaved school assembly. Craig Montgomerie, species ranger support, gently carried the young kiwis around the crowd for an up close view. “These opportunities are really great for kids, it ties them to the maunga and gets them interested,” he said. “Because really, all of this (conservation work) is for them in the end.” Afterwards, twelve randomly selected

Jello the kiwi was still sleepy-eyed when he came out of his box.

students with school staff and parents travelled to the Garland farm for the release. The students played a hands-on role searching the native bush floor for the perfect kiwi burrow. They clearly took pride in being special kiwi helpers on the day, some saying they’d like to be a kiwi ranger one day and one even opting to become a “Kiwi CEO”.

Amazingly the young kiwis were perfectly fine to be left alone at just four weeks old. They’ll live out their 30-odd years on Maungatautari, living the first three or so years independently before finding a mate. Some of their off spring will be moved to other reserves in the country, helping to keep the kiwi conservation wheel moving.

Taking steps to pay back a debt By Sophie Iremonger

Rachael and Dave Brooky, pictured with baby Jonny and two-year-old Hugo, plan to walk 210km this month to give back to Ronald McDonald House.

Today marks the start of a busy month for the Brookys. The Cambridge family has pledged to walk, and maybe even run, 210km during March. The challenge is set by Ronald McDonald House each year as one of its main fundraisers. The organisation made “all the difference” for the Brookys when their son Jonny was born prematurely with a congenital diaphragmatic hernia. They stayed at the Auckland house for five weeks while Jonny grew a lung. Now they want to fundraise for the cost of their five-week stay. They plan to walk some of the 210km during the Waipa Fun Run at Victoria Square on March 10, taking on the 10km section along with Jonny and his two-year-old brother Hugo – if they’re up for it too. During March an annual fundraiser prompts participants to walk or run 210km, representing

the $210 it costs for one family to stay at Ronald McDonald House each night. The Brookys plan to raise $2100 in March, representing a ten-night stay, and in the long term plan to raise over $7000 to cover what it would have cost the charity to house them over five weeks. “We’d like to give it a real push over the next few weeks,” said Dave Brooky. “They were just so awesome for us, we’d really like to do what we can for them.” Wife Rachel said they would eventually like to help the other organisations that helped them like Starship, St John, Westpac Rescue Helicopter. Rachel was flown to Starship Hospital after she unexpectedly went into labour on March 10 last year. “They look after you so well. It’s an amazing set up and so good for families that aren’t home, and they can have their family members come and stay to support them too.”

Still time to enter soap box derby By Viv Posselt

Preparations for the new Anzac Day Soap Box Derby are humming along, with news that a handful of starter kits are still available for late entrants. The Soap Box Derby is a feature race add-on to this year’s Cambridge Cycling Festival on April 25. Almost all the 40 soap box starter kits have been sold, leaving just a few still to go. Each $50 kit comes with everything needed to build a soap box and includes the cost of entering the race. The remaining kits are available via the Cycling Festival’s Facebook page. Several people currently working on their soap boxes gathered at the Waikato Veteran and Vintage Car Club’s Cambridge HQ in McLean Street last Saturday

“It makes you grateful that you’re not from Auckland, since they can’t stay there!” said Dave. Best of all for the Brookys was being only a five-minute walk away from their son in ICU. “That just made such a difference. It was hard enough leaving as it was, but you just felt like you were there with him the whole time, being so close.” The family also plans on cooking dinner for the 120 occupants of Ronald McDonald House. The couple already have the logistics sorted, with friends and family on board to help cook on the night. To contribute food or donations towards the dinner, email dmbrooky@hotmail.com. Donations towards the family’s March fundraising efforts – which are nearly half way there – can be made at housetohouse. everydayhero.com/nz/brooky. Every $10 donation goes into the draw to win a gift hamper and a Matai serving board hand crafted by Dave.

to get a spot of advice and ensure they were following regulations. The soap boxes must be self-propelled and non-powered, and must not have pedals. A final gathering in late March will bring all race entrants together for safety checks and a pre-race practice run. Club committee member and Soap Box Derby organiser Paul Johnson said the event has the support of Cycling Festival champion, Sarah Ulmer. Ebbett, ITM Cambridge and the Cambridge Lions have provided sponsorship in some form or another. The race down Cambridge’s Victoria Street will have five heats, followed by a final and a soap box ‘train’ which will be dragged back up the street to allow spectators a more leisurely view of the finished boxes. For more information phone Paul 021 688 211. Getting to grips with soap box cornering is Paul’s grandson, William Johnson.

FRIDAY MARCH 1, 2019

Local outlet to close after eight decades By Viv Posselt A part of Cambridge’s past will disappear when Wayne’s Lotto Shop closes its doors for the last time next Monday, March 4. With that turn of the key will go almost 81 years of history and several generations of memories, starting from the time local hairdresser Frank Edge took up the lease in 1938, building it into a successful barber shop and tobacconist, with the quintessential barber’s pole outside. The second of Frank and Margaret Edge’s four sons, Wayne, followed in his dad’s footsteps. He undertook apprenticeship training in which he agreed to learn a comprehensive skill set that included “hairdressing, shaving, razor setting, shampooing, singeing, face and head massage, elementary hygiene, skilled use and care of tools of trade, and elementary business psychology”. His half-century tenure at what became Wayne’s Lotto and Men’s Barber ran from the start of that apprenticeship in 1959 when he earned the equivalent of $8.25 a week - to his death from cancer in August 2011. As much as Wayne became a character around town, so, it seems, was Frank. Word has it that Frank regularly cycled to work, parking his bike on the pavement outside. One day it was stolen and later returned to the spot in a fetching shade of pink. That incident, said to have had an incendiary effect on the mild-mannered Frank, marked the start of what was effectively a boomerang bicycle, with the bike stolen and

reappearing in different colours on an almost weekly basis. Suzanne Harris has managed the store for around 25 years. Sad as she is to leave now, she said: “I am so lucky to have worked with someone like Wayne. We always had a wonderful time.” The years following Frank’s death in 1979, and Wayne’s in 2011, saw the outlet pass to three different owners. It is now up for sale, essentially a victim of changing times. Richard said the shift of Lotto to other outlets in town was a catalyst in the store’s closure – just as had happened in Frank’s day when cigarette sales moved beyond the bounds of a tobacconist and into supermarkets and dairies.

Fire fighting all in a day’s work Continued from page 1

Stationed as the aircraft officer and operations manager for the area, Paul spent a lot of time in the air overlooking the vast stretches of fire, which continuously bellowed huge amounts of smoke into the sky. “Flying around in that was pretty scary, because at one point we did actually get lost in the smoke.” Once fires had reduced to a more manageable state for Australian crews, the Kiwis returned home only to be deployed to Nelson within 48 hours, Paul receiving the call during a BBQ with friends. After arriving in Nelson as part of a national incident management team, Paul worked with 21 helicopters and two planes to keep on top of the fire. The operation was reduced to 10 helicopters and a ground crew raking out the last of the smouldering fires by the time he left. Over the two-week burn, 2300 hectares were blackened and over 2500 people were evacuated from their homes. A brief break followed before Paul returned back to

work last week. He now spends half his time residing in Cambridge with wife Wendy, and half the time at their other home in Matarangi, where fire risk is at its highest in the Coromandel. Meanwhile, Paul’s colleagues continued to battle the flames in both Tasmania and Nelson this week. They were hoping to strangle the Nelson fire inside a blackout zone earker this week, by which time a ban on water sprinklers was making bigger headines. The dangers of fire fightings were highlighted when pilot Bill Reid suffered minor injuries making a hard landing while fighting wildfire near Eves Valley. In Tasmania the major fires were out, but a check on the Tasmanian Fire service earlier this week showed Paul helped fight Tasmanian fires from the air, coordinating operations as the north there were more than 30 vegetation fires. west area’s aircraft officer.

Fire risk still high despite rain With the Coromandel peninsula under a total fire ban since Christmas Day, the rest of the Waikato has only just gone into the prohibited fire season on Friday – coincidentally when the region finally received its first decent bout of rain since New Years. “It’s still really dry out there,” Paul warned. “We’ve had a couple days of rain, but it’s not enough, it will relieve conditions for a few days, maybe a week, but it’s not going to solve it. We need probably a good week’s worth of rain.” Paul said one of the most important fire safety measures to remember was to completely wet ashes, even after you think a fire is out, and always keep a garden hose or fire extinguisher handy when doing things like operating a charcoal barbecue. “But at the moment, the main message is, don’t go lighting any fires!” Fire and Emergency New Zealand’s website, checkitsalright.nz provides information on the current fire season, fire bans, safety tips and everything Kiwis need for a safe, fire-free summer.

Tarbutts call time on a lengthy career By Viv Posselt

After more than 41 years in the game, Linda and John Tarbutt have pulled the shutters down on their dual careers as optometrists. They officially left the building on February 22 – that would be 33 Duke Street, from where they have steered Tarbutt Optometrists since the practice moved there from Victoria Street in 1984. The pair sold the business over a year ago and have been working for the new owners until they felt right in calling time for good. The practice, however, will continue to serve Cambridge and its surrounds. A significant marker of their departure is the fact that for the first time, neither John

nor Linda will be hitting the annual deadline for the renewal of their practising certificate. When questioned if that might feel slightly odd, they responded in sync. “Not at all,” said Linda. “We have come to the end of our professional life and we’re looking forward to doing different things now. We’d just like to wish the new owners, the staff and everyone well in the future.” John is just as happy to draw a line under his career. “It would be difficult to maintain our practising certification if we’re not working in a practice,” he said. Applying for certification would also require them to meet other criteria to maintain competency. “This way, I cannot be tempted back into a locum position. I am happy to stop here and see

Basketballers going Greek for world champs By Sophie Iremonger

A dozen St Peter’s girls will go Greek this weekend as part of their efforts to get to the real Greece. A Greek-themed quiz night at St Peter’s School tomorrow will feature big ticket items such as new cars, holiday getaways

and signed sports memorabilia up for grabs through auctions, raffles and a grand quiz – all part of a large fundraising effort to get the school’s senior girls basketball team off to Greece in April. After winning last year’s national champs, the team was offered the chance to be the first female New Zealand basketball team to

attend the ISF World School Championships in Heraklion, Greece. It’s the second opportunity they’ve had to attend the two-yearly competition, after winning nationals in 2016, but it comes with a $6700 price tag for each player. “It’s pretty expensive so we’ll have to fundraise a lot, but it will so be worth it,” said the team’s captain Charlisse LegerWalker. “Last time it was really late notice when we were invited to attend, and it was so expensive to go, we just didn’t have enough time to fundraise.” Coach Leanne Walker, Charlisse’s mum and a former Tall Ferns captain, said the invite to the world champs was an amazing opportunity and one they just couldn’t turn down this time. “It’s an opportunity not just to put St Peter’s on the world map, but New Zealand, so it just means we’ve got to work really hard both on the court and off the court, with the fundraising, to get there. But that sort of thing builds you as a team too.” The team has been coming up with all

sorts of ways to fundraise lately, organising movie nights and collecting donations from businesses, but they hope the big event this weekend will be a hefty contributor towards their end goal. The girls said they hope to do the country proud as the first female team from New Zealand at the competition. “It’s pretty awesome,” said Charlisse, who played with team mate Ella Bradley in the school’s 2016 and 2015 teams that also won nationals. “We’re really excited,” added Ella. “Especially playing against teams from other countries, we never get to do that.” The girls reckon they’ve got a pretty good chance to do well at the competition, playing with the same cohesive group of players that won all their games by at least 30 points at nationals. “We already work together so well. I think after the build-up, once we get there, we’ll be pretty set to go. When the time comes, we’ll be prepared.” Tickets to the quiz night can be purchased by contacting Brent Sanders on 021 796 962.

The Leamington men’s lacrosse team played their final game of the season last Wednesday, playing off for third place overall. The team managed to win the league on points, but missed out in the playoffs. They lost 11 – 8 to Te Awamutu Marist in their final game, placing fourth for the season, but it was a good effort for a team that only had eight players. With three of the team’s key players injured or sick, team coach Anthony Warrington even had to step in to play as coach so that they still had one sub. Throughout the first half the Leamington team scored a number of goals and managed to stay in the lead by one goal. “But going into the second half our lack of subs started to show, and we started making more mistakes on the field due to fatigue,”

said Warrington. “Marist’s sub bench was huge and their midfielders were always fresh, so we couldn’t keep up with them and this created a lot of man-up opportunities for them in offense. “There still positives to draw from it. We still held them to a close game, despite our lack of a subs bench. We were still scoring goals despite being really drained and I’m really proud of how the lads kept their composure and their chins up. “I feel that they deserved a better end to the season, because we have some really passionate and dedicated players.

Lugtons win big in Sydney

IT’S NOT TOO LATE TO ENTER

Lugtons agent Wei Sen Chow was awarded New Zealand Agent of the Year.

Saturday night marked a special achievement for Lugtons, scooping three awards at the 2019 Australasian Real Estate Results Awards in Sydney. The company received one of the top awards of the night, Regional Agency of the Year for Australasia. Cambridge branch manager Peter Hulsdouw said it was certainly something to celebrate. “We’re absolutely stoked for the whole company, we were up against some pretty big high flyers from Australia so for us as a whole

it’s a really good place to be. “It just shows the hard work by the Lugtons team has paid off.” Lugtons is an independent Waikato company founded in 1955 by the late Bruce Lugton. It now has five branches in Hamilton and one in Cambridge. Two more Lugtons agents were awarded on the night, with Jack Ramasamy winning Australasian Performer of the Year and Wei Sen Chow winning New Zealand Agent of the Year.

Hundreds of youngsters signing up for local football By Josh Easby More than 450 children are expected to register to play football in Cambridge for the coming winter season. Growth in the sport’s playing numbers have led to Cambridge Football Club becoming one of the largest in the Waikato for junior numbers. Registrations are already underway with boys and girls aged 4-14 joining the club for the year ahead. Players will be assessed over the next two weekends to help allocate them to the most appropriate teams in their age groups. Grading sessions will be held from 11.30am till 6pm on Sunday March 3 for children wanting to play in teams from 9th grade to 14th grade. More sessions will take place between 2pm and 6pm on Sunday March 10 for boys seeking to play in grades 9-11, and girls and boys who wish to become goalkeepers. Timetables for the grading sessions, with more details about how to register, are available at the club’s website: www. cambridgefootball.co.nz. The club is gearing up for the winter season which starts on March 30 for the senior men’s teams and in May for junior players. To prepare for the start of their Northern League campaign, the Reds first and reserves are playing a series of five preseason friendlies. Both teams recorded wins in the first of those games, with the Reds earning a 3-2 victory against WaiBOP Premiership outfit

West Hamilton United last Saturday. Paul Richardson's side took the friendly with goals by Kieran Hil, Mason Woodall and a late penalty from Johnny Sanchez. Cambridge's reserves won their first pre-season friendly 5-2 against West Ham's second string side. Scorers included Andrew Taylor, Harry Wicks and Alex Mukaka. Tomorrow (March 2) both teams have fixtures at home with WaiBOP Premiership club Otumoetai bringing teams to John Kerkhof Park. The reserves kick off at 12.30pm and the main game starts at 2.45pm. Over summer, the club ran weekly 5-a-side competitions for more than 300 men, women and young adults, and recently staged the Calnar Cambridge Sevens (men’s) tournament. On Sunday March 10, the club will stage the ninth annual Calnar Cambridge Sevens (women’s) tournament which draws women’s teams from around the Waikato/ Bay of Plenty region.

FREE SOLO This death-defying feat will leave you stunned, the most amazing human achievement ever witnessed. Follow Alex Honnold as he becomes the first person to ever free solo climb Yosemite's 3,000ft high El Capitan Wall. With no ropes or safety gear, he completed arguably the greatest feat in rock climbing history. The sequences of him climbing are extraordinary, terrifying, emotional, moving and aweinspiring. Not just the sequences of El Cap, but all around the world. This movie shows the humanity, insanity and personal struggle for perfection that it takes to do things that no one else has tried to accomplish before. Probably the best movie ever of its genre in terms of drawing you in and keeping a stranglehold on your attention, but letting you savour the journey.

GRETA A sweet, naïve young woman trying to make it on her own in New York City, Frances doesn't think twice about returning the handbag she finds on the subway to its rightful owner. That owner is Greta, an eccentric French piano teacher with a love for classical music and an aching loneliness. Having recently lost her mother, Frances quickly grows closer to widowed Greta. The two become fast friends, but Greta's maternal charms begin to dissolve and grow increasingly disturbing as Frances discovers that nothing in Greta's life is what it seems, in this suspenser. A wildly entertaining, gripping and wickedly terrifying psychological thriller as well as an intriguing character study. Greta is terrific, played to perfection by an outstandingly unhinged Isabelle Huppert. It's this generation's Fatal Attraction.
