Full house Builders under the hammer

By Sophie Iremonger As residency in Cambridge continues to grow, construction industry figures are working at full gear to secure the foundations for the future of Cambridge.

“Housing demand in Cambridge and the Waikato region generally has grown dramatically over the last few years,” said Steve Brown, director of Branderson Homes in Cambridge. “Since the end of the last recession in 2012/2013 it just hasn’t stopped.”

Waipa District Council has given building consent to 1157 current building projects in recent months, most of which are now under construction.

Since New Years Day, 96 building consent applications have been made to council and 34 of those have so far been approved – the rest now being processed or awaiting further information.

“Currently we process around 1,500 building consents each year. With an additional 25,000 people and 10,500 more houses expected in Waipā by 2050, that number will rise significantly,” said council’s planning and regulatory manager Wayne Allan.

Steve of Branderson Homes admitted there had been one brief quiet period towards the end of last year, but besides that the demand had continued to rise.

“The flat spot is well and truly over now and the demand for new homes is high,” he said.

Dot and Barry Harding are a rare married couple among the artists listed on the Autumn Festival’s upcoming Cambridge Open Studios Art Tour.

The tour isn’t the only occasion Barry’s woodwork and Dot’s patchwork and quilting are seen together. Visitors to Barry’s homebased Woodcraft Gallery brush up against Dot’s workspace, and the reverse is true for those calling into Dot’s studio. Special pieces fill their home, and together they’ve covered miles carting Barry’s pieces to craft fairs. Every now and then, they fuse the two, with Barry making frames for some of Dot’s finished patchwork pictures, and Dot’s daughter helping Barry out in the workshop.

“We work as a team,” Barry said. “There’s no doubt that without Dot, I wouldn’t have been able to build up my woodworking to the level it is now.”

They’re as busy as bees, but neither is keen to pass up a challenge.

Barry has worked with timber for most of his life, taking up woodturning as a hobby only after he retired. Now, he makes a range of practical and artistic items, many of them one-offs that he has made when people have asked him to craft things he initially thought might be near impossible. An unusual shepherd’s crook is just one example, made for a neighbouring Englishman who stumbled across Barry on his daily walks.

The Hardings have another claim to fame. He makes unique and imaginative pieces for Hobbiton – spoons, platters, table ornaments, trays, candlesticks and more – despite the fact he has never read the books and insists he never will.

“They’re just not for me,” he smiled. Dot, who knows them backwards, filled him in on the details.

Barry’s pieces have become part of the Hobbiton landscape, so much so that he’s on an almost speed-dial basis for any replacements or anything new that pops up.

Dot has also contributed her talents to Hobbiton. “They built a shop out the back,” she said. “Barry did a lot of the woodwork and I was asked to make a few quilts to go in the shop.”

Despite taking up patchwork only after the loss of her first husband in 1990, Dot’s work has earned accolades. In 2015 she was named a finalist in a major Australasian quilting competition, the AQC Challenge, with her entry Picasso Blue. That will be among the quilts, wall hangings and framed patchwork pieces she will display during the art tour.

Late last year, a handmade Christmas quilt of Dot’s and a rimu tray of Barry’s were auctioned off in aid of the Plastic Bag Free Cambridge collective. Dot is a member and has made over 1000 intricate bags for the cause.

Barry said his focus for this year’s art studio tour would be his garden art pieces – quirky items that like most of his stuff start off experimental and end up splendid.

The Hardings will be at 18 De La Mare Drive from 10am to 4pm on March 23 and 24.

More on the arts tour this year

The field of 28 listed as taking part in the Autumn Festival’s 2019 Cambridge Open Studio Art Tour represents a raft of local talent.

The list comprises individuals and groups, meaning even more than 28 artists will open their studios to the public from 10am to 4pm on March 23 and 24. Among them are painters, ceramic and glass artists, potters, woodworkers, embroiderers and quilters, model-makers and photographers.

Jennifer Burton, who organises it in conjunction with the Cambridge Autumn Festival committee and members of the Cambridge Society of Arts, said the tour offers an opportunity for the artists to show

“If possible, the artists will be working.

Their studios are open for the weekend … many won’t be open at any other time during the year. The event was extremely successful last year because it offers a personal experience. I expect this year will be even better with new artists joining wellknown artists on the tour.”

Lindsay Muirhead heads both the Cambridge Society of Arts and the Cambridge Camera Club, and is on the organising committee. He said this tour had been arranged on the back of the success of last year’s inaugural event. “It was apparent

after last year’s tour that a lot of people had no idea we had so much talent in this area.

This time, we have included a fair amount of work that is slightly different.”

Fauve artist Carole Hughes said she found last year’s event “absolutely amazing”.

“People came from quite far afield. It was good for me, both in terms of exposure and sales. It’s a great event for Cambridge … it puts local artists under the spotlight.”

A sign of the times

CAMBRIDGE NEWS | 3

Cambridge basketballer Tuhua Taikato-Litz has been told he’s the new vice captain of the Deaf Tall Blacks – but he’s got to learn sign language.

At just 16 years of age, Tuhua Taikato-Litz is the youngest player in the New Zealand Deaf Basketball team. Not only that, he is also the team’s new vice-captain.

The Cambridge student’s selection was announced last week after trials for the open men’s team.

“I was so happy, I just wanted to tell my family because I knew they’d be so proud of me,” he said.

Tuhua has played for the St Peter’s senior premier boys’ team for the past two years.

The new team will present a bit of a challenge for Tuhua because not only will he have to work with new players, he also needs to become fluent in sign language. He started

learning sign language when he was five, but stopped three years later because his hearing aids allow him to hear well.

“Communicating with people will be a bit hard, but I’m going to learn. My coach doesn’t speak sign, so he can talk to me, but there’s also a translator who can translate for other people in the team,” he said.

“Off the court, it will be okay, but in the game, I’ll have to really focus and learn people’s expressions and what they mean.”

Over the next few weeks, Tuhua will meet his other team members. They will then begin training for the Asia Pacific Deaf Games in November in Hong Kong.

Tuhua is big on teamwork and wants to help the Black Thunders win every game possible. Even if they lose some, he will make sure the players keep their heads up and stay focused.

CAMBRIDGE AUTUMN FESTIVAL

New event for foodies and wine lovers

The Cambridge Town Hall Piazza is the place to be on Saturday, March 30.

That’s when the Cambridge Autumn Festival event “Saturday Live” – a new event this year – will deliver an afternoon of live music, wine and food.

Attendees will sample a range of tasty tipples from Dhall & Nash Fine Wines, including their prosecco, champagne, cava, rose, syrah, pinot noir and pinot gris labels. Complementing this will be a selection of gourmet barbeque by the clever chefs from St Kilda Café & Bistro.

Cambridge man John Filmer is Dhall & Nash Fine Wine’s representative in Cambridge – someone many locals will recognise from his years as a wine specialist at Cambridge New World.

“As a supporter of the Festival and lover of wine, it’s an honour to be asked to showcase a selection of fine wines from Dhall & Nash,” he said. “Along with the team from St Kilda Café & Bistro, we are excited to be presenting this unique event to Cambridge and hope that it can become a regular event.”

Live music will feature local talent and jazz and blues by two of the best in the business.

Tickets are available from Paper Plus Cambridge and eventfinda.co.nz.

Tuhua Taikato-Litz has become the youngest player to join the NZ Deaf Basketball team.

Leamington Fashion and high tea during festival fundraiser for Freshy CAMBRIDGE AUTUMN FESTIVAL

Fashion over a Teacup will return for 2019 during the Cambridge Autumn Festival, this year featuring French flair as the event pays homage to Cambridge’s sister city Le Quesnoy.

The innovative event, which raises funds for Waikato Hospice, is an afternoon of high tea and a fashion show, held inside the Cambridge Town Hall. It features a different theme each year.

This year’s “French café” theme will feature vintage items with a French flair, all of which have been sourced from Waikato Hospice op shops.

Cambridge local Jane Burgess and a group of dedicated women have been organising the Hospice fundraiser for ten years, the last two years coinciding with the Autumn Festival.

Last year’s event encouraged locals to enter their own op-shop creations, and raised over $10,000 for Hospice Waikato.

This year’s event takes place on Sunday, March 31, doors open at 1.30 with the event kicking off at 2pm.

Tickets are $50, available through at Paper Fashion over a Teacup raised thousands of dollars each year for Plus Cambridge or at hospicewaikato.org.nz.

This year’s event was more popular than ever with 24 tables on display, selling pre-loved items and new products, as well as not for profit organisations offering services.

This event is a major fundraising event for Cambridge Parents Centre, and this year raised just over $508.

The Leamington Rugby Sports Club is putting on a special fundraiser for one of their players who was involved in a near-fatal traffic collision towards the end of last year.

Matt Kennedy, or “Freshy” to his rugby mates, was left in a critical condition after a head on crash on SH1 in Tamahere in late November.

He’s spent the last seven weeks at the ABI Rehabilitation centre in Auckland making slow but significant progress. After over a hundred days of recovery he can now sit up by himself and take a few steps, as well as say a few things to his friends and family.

“It’s going to be a slow recovery, but he is making progress,” his dad Andy said, adding that the family were “blown away” by the club’s charity event.

The “Freshy Day” fundraiser on April 6 at the Leamington Rugby Sports Club on Carlyle Street will coincide with Leamington’s home rugby games – the club’s A and B teams going up against Pirongia’s A and B teams.

Kicking off from 12.30pm with gold coin entry, the event will include heaps of entertainment

including kids activities and a dunk tank – with a special guest appearance planned for the dunk tank.

A silent auction will feature a Collin Meads signed rugby ball, a Steve Hansen signed All Blacks shirt and a signed Chiefs jersey, just to name a few. Quickfire raffles will be on the go as well as other fun prizes.

More information is available on the Leamington Rugby Sports Club Facebook page.

Builders under the hammer Continued from page 7

“We expect the demand for homes in the Waikato to continue to be high for a while yet.”

Just last year alone Branderson Homes built around 30 new homes and did a few small subdivisions themselves to meet the increasing need for house and land packages.

Now working on another 15 houses, with around 26 more on order, the Cambridge business is looking to add more staff and apprentices to their team.

As to why the numbers continue to flock to the area, the Steve said Cambridge’s attractive features were hard to beat.

“Cambridge in particular is seen as a town that provides a highquality lifestyle and now has several major sporting codes basing their training centres here.

“Combine that with the huge expansion about to take place at Hautapu, and I think we’ll see Cambridge continue to boom.”

Trades schools seem well aware of the demand, encouraging enrolment in trades programmes by way of social media and paid advertising, as well as working with industry partners, companies and secondary schools to connect with potential students.

Wintec reported a total of 76 enrolments in construction programmes this year, with more sign ups still coming in. Though it has seen steady applications in recent years, numbers have not risen

in the same fashion as the industry’s demand.

“It has been well publicised recently by the Government and through media, we don’t have enough trained, tradespeople in industry to keep up with the demand for housing in New Zealand,” said Shelley Wilson, group director at Wintec’s centre for trades.

“There is huge demand for carpenters and other trades both here and offshore.”

“My advice to anyone considering a career in trades, is to do a pretrades course to find out if this is for you, or start an apprenticeship. If a trades career is the right pathway for you, then it can be a ticket to a longterm and very satisfying career.”

Matt Mudgway, owner of Savannah Construction said the demand for new homes had increased “without a doubt”.

The Cambridge building company, which has worked on a number of multi-unit builds in Hamilton recently, has grown from eight staff to 23 in the past year, with plans to take on more qualified builders and apprentices in the coming months.

“We know there is a desperate need for multi-unit developments in Cambridge and we’d be keen to look at this,” said Matt. “Rental accommodation is still at a premium and the town is growing.

“We are moving forward hard.”

Meanwhile Cambridge Homes Waikato director Phillip Webb said the growth in Cambridge made sense, given the town’s central location and close vicinity to Hamilton whilst still maintaining a village lifestyle.

“The growth in the Cambridge

area is substantial,” he said. “If you look at the number of subdivisions that are going on in Cambridge it’s a good indication of what most building companies are experiencing.”

The company, which works with a selected group of sub-contractors

to build their homes, has grown its number of contracted teams as the building demand continues.

Its biggest project right now is the Rutherford Park development on Williamson Street, a 24-site gated community currently under construction.

Cambridge Homes Waikato director Phillip Webb said Cambridge’s growing number of subdivisions gives an idea of the busy schedule most building companies are now experiencing. The company’s Rutherford Park development on Williamson Street is one of many housing developments going up around Cambridge.

Whistle-stop meeting talks education reforms

By Viv Posselt

National MP and education spokesperson Nikki Kaye spoke to Cambridge residents this week about her concerns over too speedy a timeline around proposals for what she described as the biggest education shake-up in 30 years.

She was addressing a public meeting at the Cambridge Town Hall on Monday

evening, one of more than 40 being held around the country over eight weeks to familiarise communities with the Government’s Tomorrow’s Schools education review proposals. Among those attending in Cambridge were local school principals, BOT members and teachers.

The Tomorrow’s Schools Review Independent Taskforce was appointed by Education Minister Chris Hipkins in April

National’s education spokesperson Nikki Kaye with local MP Louise Upston review a slide at Monday’s meeting in Cambridge.

last year. Over five months, the Taskforce met with 200 different groups around the country. It has also accessed educational research and received input from thousands of interested parties – much of it online – and will close consultation early next month.

“The timeline means that National must provide feedback to the Taskforce by April 6, just over three weeks before the Taskforce reports back to the Minister on April 30,” Ms Kaye told the meeting.

“That is too fast. We say they need to slow things down for what is the largest reform of our education system in 30 years. The lens of history suggests education is one of the most hotly contested areas of concern for any government, particularly because it deals with children.”

Ms Kaye said National did support some aspects of the proposed reforms but was advocating for time to forge greater crossparty agreement. She said feedback suggests communities want less politics in education and want a shift away from the current ‘swinging back and forth’ approach to a more stable and equitable education system.

She called for more flexibility in the proposals and cited a lack of detail, particularly in terms of transparency around costings.

Another major concern expressed during public meetings was around the proposed establishment of 20 ‘education hubs’ designed to replace current Ministry education offices and partner with schools.

Fears were expressed, she said, around the potential for too much concentration of power transferring responsibilities to bureaucrats and away from teachers and parents.

“We are not opposed to education

hubs, but we oppose the ‘one size fits all’ approach. It won’t work for all schools and all communities. We’d like to see a more graduated model.”

Ms Kaye said of the 18 or so reviews currently underway in education: “That’s a lot. This is massive. There are a whole lot of principals, teachers and parents out there who don’t know what is going on. That’s one reason I am on the road now doing these meetings.”

Further information about the review is online: https://conversation.education. govt.nz/conversations/tomorrows-schoolsreview/about-the-tomorrows-schoolsreview/.

Ms Kaye said people could still make submissions via tomorrows.school@ education.govt.nz.

Gala set to be epic

Cambridge Primary School will hold its biennial gala in two week’s time.

The event on March 30 will feature a new activity this year, the Goliath Obstacle Course, in addition to the ever-popular water zorbs in the school pool, dunk the teacher, pluck a duck, bouncy castles, rides, a petting zoo, wobbly train, live entertainment, bake stalls, Mama’s Donuts and a very special gingerbread house to explore in the school hall.

The Cambridge Primary Kapa Haka will officially open the event, which kicks off from 10am and concludes around 2pm.

This year students have come up with great innovative ideas on things to make and sell, with this year’s emphasis on reusing, upcycling and no plastic.

Volunteers pitch in at RDA

By Clive Garrish, Cambridge Riding for the Disabled (RDA)

RDA doesn’t stop completely over the Christmas period.

Many volunteers are still pitching in during our eight-week break over the school holidays to complete jobs that we often don’t have time for during the school term.

Four of our nine horses went back to their owners for a wellearned holiday or spent the break with some of our dedicated and experienced volunteers. Those who stayed witnessed a great deal of activity over their fences, starting with moving our hay barn – built in 2009 by CHS students especially for RDA – closer to the middle of our property. This now makes general access, and fetching the hay on a miserable winters day, easier for our volunteers – especially those of a slighter stature.

This was achieved in no small part with help from our volunteer Bob, and his very practical son, Matt from Propools Cambridge, who supplied a small digger and grader. Tim Mitchell also offered help with his Hiab truck, helping to lift the barn from its previous position at the rear corner of our property into place on its new, closer foundations.

With the hayshed originally built as a ‘horse hospital’ it was never fully closed in so unfortunately over the last few years we have lost a number of bales due to being exposed to the elements. But thanks to Kerry Searle and Jonny Schick from

Shaw’s Wire Ropes, cladding the open sides was completed on New Year’s Eve with all the second-hand iron, plus framing and fixings kindly donated by Shaw’s Wire Ropes.

In the first week of January Karl Schwitzer Contracting cut, turned and baled 255 bales of hay off our property and with the help of our wonderful volunteers our hayshed is now full of excellent quality winter horse feed. A door has since been added making the hay shed now fully weather tight and horse proof.

We’ve also had two small barriers erected at our narrow pedestrian entrances to discourage horses being led through them, very dangerous for both horse and rider. This was completed by Fulton Hogan workers as part of their end-ofproject clean up after finishing the new pipe bridge. They also filled in pot holes on our driveway and began the first stage of our sensory trail by clearing the overgrown area behind our arena.

We have several projects on our wish list awaiting funding, including the construction of 14 horse-proof tree barriers to help offer shelter and shade to our horses.

Anyone wishing to offer their skills and time to any of our projects, from building work to fundraising and volunteering in our regular sessions, we welcome your help. Contact us on 021 902892 or email cambridge@rda.org.nz.

MPs in town for Women’s Day

By Sophie Iremonger

It was quite fitting to have two female MPs visit Cambridge for International Women’s Day. Erica Stanford and Denise Lee, MPs for East Coast Bays and Maungakiekie respectively, were invited to chat with Cambridge residents on Friday last week as part of Louise Upston’s Friendly Forum.

The Taupo electorate MP was unable to make it due to illness, but the visiting pair were made welcome by the crowd of about 20 people who turned out to the hour-anda-half meeting on Friday, March 8 – International Women’s Day. The pair said following the February addition of Agnes Loheni to parliament New Zealand now had more women in Parliament than ever.

“And internationally we’re right up there in terms of ratio,” Denise Lee said. “We’re actually really encouraged with our future.”

Agnes Loheni is National’s first female MP of Pacific Island descent. She replaced list MP Chris Finlayson who retired in December.

Erica Stanford, National’s associate spokesperson for the environment previously worked for former Foreign Affairs minister Murray McCully and professed a “greenie” stance as a first time MP. “It has always bothered me greatly that somehow environmentalism is seen as a topic that only the left can own, you have to be left wing in order to be someone who believes in environmental protection,” said Stanford.

“I feel as if we have been losing the argument on the environment for such a long time because we don’t have the ‘green’ title on our party name like the Greens do.

“I’ve always said that conservation and conservatism are two sides of the same coin, and it bothers me greatly that these days you have to be a socialist to be an environmentalist, that is absolutely wrong.”

Stanford highlighted some of her party’s environmental achievements.

“I’m not saying it’s perfect, but in our nine years in

government we actually had a really good track record in the environment.”

The MPs said part of getting out into the community was to get feedback as they form their policies for 2020.

“We (National) are still on just over 41 percent, which is only one and a half percent off what we got in the elections … Labour at the same time in the last cycle were in the 20s,” she said.

When question time came, Florence Shearman stood and asked what was being done to help renters on superannuation.

“Rents have exploded and people living on national super can’t afford to pay rent … they’ve got nowhere to go,” she said. “What is this National going to do to support our aging population, because the moment the Labour party is doing

absolutely nothing?”

Both MPs blamed Labour’s capital gains tax as a factor in driving up rent prices, and for landlords exiting the market and reducing the number of houses available. Stanford said National’s intention to adjust tax thresholds could have a knock-on effect on superannuation.

Taxi hours extended

Cambridge Taxis are now operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The shift came into effect on March 4, a move which operations manager Ricky Tipene said could make a world of difference for those in need of a ride.

“We know there are times where people need taxis and it must be quite frustrating when you cannot find transport at any time,” he said.

“People have vehicle breakdowns, car accidents, the police may need us to transport people, or perhaps people need to get home from parties or a late night out.

“The move really means that it’s much easier for people to find transport, so that they are not driving under the influence of alcohol or stuck without a ride.”

The shift from part time to full time service comes as Cambridge’s population continues to grow exponentially.

It’s a far cry from Cambridge’s first taxi service by Mr E Lindstrom in 1920, a fore runner to what Cambridge Taxis is today.

Now approaching 2020, the business has six vehicles with three fulltime independent contract drivers and four parttime drivers, and is looking for a fourth full time independent contract driver to join the fleet.

In addition to being available at any time, the locally owned-business is now easier to contact, available through the TaxiCaller app as well as booking via text message and through the website.

To find out more visit www.cambridgetaxis.co.nz or contact Cambridge Taxis on (07) 827-5999. The Taxi Caller App is available to download through the Cambridge Taxis website.

Garden festival funds distributed

Most of the almost $30,000 raised through last year’s Rotary Cambridge Garden Festival was presented to two of the three charities earlier this month.

The inaugural event held last November saw more than 1000 tickets sold for tours of the 10 selected garden, 110 lunches and 90 tours of Lilies by Blewden. Cambridge Community House received $5000 towards their building project – adding to the $75,000 Rotary gave them last year – while Victim Support received $10,000.

Project lead for the event, Carey Church, said the remainder of the funds will go to a third charity, Rotary Cambridge Charitable Trust.

“They will distribute the funds in their annual grants round mid-year. Of that, $1000 has been granted to the Days for Girls programme. The presentation of that cheque will be made in a few weeks.”

Carey said planning for the next Rotary Cambridge Garden Festival – set down for November 24 – is well underway.

Closure coming to Gaslight Theatre

If you’ve seen signs around town reading, “Gaslight Theatre: CLOSURE” – rest assured the local theatre is still alive and well.

Closure is the name of the next show to hit the local stage, kicking off on March 23 and running through to April 6, coninciding with the Cambridge Autumn Festival.

John Kelleher, a familiar local face at the Gaslight who has starred in several key roles, is taking up the title of director for this show.

When asked to direct for the Gaslight Theatre, he couldn’t think of a better show than Closure – written by Canadian author Ron Blicq.

“Ron has created an intriguing and deeply moving play with Closure, not only for the story itself but for the many emotions that the two families have to deal with when confronted by a dilemma,” said John.

The show’s main character Donald Barlow, played by David Lumsden, faces the decision of whether to follow up clues as to who his father may be – a suspected Canadian pilot based in England during the second world war, who left to fight the Japanese and never connected with Donald’s mother Wendy again.

His wife Daphne, played by Cambridge actress Marianne Kay, is cautious about the search. His daughter Claire however, played

by Amanda Hema, is much more enthusiastic.

The family call upon professional investigator Paul Hoogstra (Clive Lamdin) who specialises in tracking down missing servicemen.

But the former Canadian pilot Gordon Devereaux (Owen Mooney) hopes to keep his wartime experiences well supressed.

If your boy is accepted to Dilworth School, he’ll walk in the footsteps of many great men.

Dilworth is a school like no other. We select boys from good families experiencing financial or personal hardship, and offer them a free, boarding school education from Years 5 to 13.

If your boy is accepted, he’ll receive free tuition, boarding, sports, music lessons and more in our supportive school and community.

The effect? Thanks to the transformative power of an excellent, all-round education, we turn good boys into great men - who achieve things they might never have believed possible.

Applications for entry at Year 5 and Year 7 levels in 2020 are invited now. There may also be very limited places available for Year 9 level.

DC7924_CN

To find out if your boy is eligible, see www.dilworth.school.nz, visit our Open Day or call 09 523 3179 (ext. 715).

His wife Helen (Cambridge’s Jan Cowie) is aware of his concerns but feels it could be valuable to determine whether or not her husband has a son.

The emotions twist and turn as a decision is made –but will it have a satisfactory conclusion?

Throughout it all Donald’s grandson Gordie, played by Cambridge’s Hamilton Kay, has an unwitting but crucial part to play.

“I am delighted at how well my cast have been able to portray their characters and show that families can face difficulties together and achieve solutions without damaging the family structure, and above all maintaining their care and love for each other,” said John.

Tickets to Closure are available at Paper Plus Cambridge and through Eventfinda.

Cambridge actors Hamilton Kay and Marianne Kay will star in Closure at the Gaslight Theatre.

Ceremony to honour WW1 service Parents making driveways safer A special ceremony will take place at Hautapu Cemetery next week to recognise the efforts of two Cambridge women during World War I. Margaret Reynolds and Elsie Nixon will be officially recognised as Queen Elisabeth of Belgium Medal holders by His Excellency Marc Mullie, Ambassador of the Kingdom of Belgium to New Zealand.

The Ambassador’s visit to Cambridge on Tuesday, March 19 is being made specially to dedicate plaques to the women’s graves to recognise their service.

They were two of 33 women in New Zealand to be awarded the Queen Elisabeth medal for service to Belgium in WWI. Newspaper articles from the time indicated they were involved in “various patriotic activities”.

Sue Milner, a member of the Cambridge Community Board which is organising next week’s event, said a lot of funds were raised for the people of Belgium during WWI, with more than 95 per cent of the country under German occupation for the duration of the war.

“There was quite a bit of effort to help the Belgians,” she

explained.

As part of the centenary of World War I, last year the Belgian embassy in Australia contacted Waipa District Council for help in tracking down descendants of the women, as the Belgian government wanted to restore their graves and mark them with a special plaque to commemorate their services.

They managed to locate relatives of Margaret Reynolds, but initially had no luck tracking down Elsie Nixon’s family.

After an appeal in the Cambridge News, the great niece of Mrs Nixon contacted the Cambridge Community Board.

“It’s great to know we will be able to have the Belgian Government’s Commemorations with family members present,” said Sue. “It’s not often we get an ambassador here in Cambridge… it’s a very special event.”

The ceremony on Tuesday, March 19, at 10am at the Hautapu Cemetery is open to the public, and will be followed by a morning tea at the Cambridge Primary School hall.

Those wishing to attend should RSVP to Sue Milner. Email randsmilner@gmail.com.

The launch day for Parent to Parents’ SafeSquares initiative on March 3 proved successful with children enjoying fun in the sun painting their own ‘SafeSquares’ outside Bunnings Cambridge.

Meanwhile parents got to learn tips and techniques on how to keep their children safe around driveways from Parent to Parent volunteers.

The SafeSquares initiative was launched to help keep New Zealand children safe in driveways, providing Kiwi families with a free SafeSquare ‘paver’ to create a safe spot for children to stand while vehicles are operating in the driveway.

Letter to the editor Dear editor I, like most other tax payers, am appalled and disgusted with the recent news of what our past prime ministers and their families have claimed for travel expenses.

Far far more than hard working doctors and nurses can ever hope to earn. They are nothing more than money-sucking leeches, and only the tip of the iceberg.

We also have hundreds of past and present MPs and others latched on this ad-lib money supple.

I like many other would like a full break down cost of our two local MPs and their families to us the tax payers.

Fun run a hit

By Sophie Iremonger

The Waipa Fun Run over the weekend attracted more 10km runners than ever before this year, when the eight annual instalment took place at Victoria Square.

Organisers of the Lugtons Waipa Fun Run were rapt to see the fundraiser has become somewhat of a destination event, attracting athletes from around the North Island.

Dean Chiplin was the fastest Cambridge runner in the 10km race at 36 minutes and six seconds, finishing fourth behind runners from Hamilton, Rotorua and Tauranga.

Hamiltonian Steve Rees-Jones secured the win in 33 minutes and 28 seconds, with a 30 second lead over Rotorua’s Will O’Connor.

Jonny McKee secured a victory for Cambridge in the 5km run in 15 minutes and 43 seconds, a whole two minutes and 11 seconds ahead of his nearest competitor, Tamahere’s Jeff Wise. The first female to finish was Cambridge’s Laura Cardwell, finishing just a second ahead of Wellingtonian Sophie Kavanagh in 23 minutes and 21 seconds.

“There were some really serious runners this year,” said Donna Warwick, who organised the event alongside Lisa Hodgson from St Peter’s Catholic School. “There was quite a big variety of people from all over, and the crowd was just great. Everyone seemed so happy and cheerful.”

With a number of big events on at the same time over the weekend, the event saw a turn out of 621 competitors, 17 less than last year.

“Considering all the events that were on we were really thrilled with what we did get, it was a really busy weekend with heaps of spectators as well as participants,” said Donna.

The schools challenge attracted the most entries once again this year. St Peter’s student George Anthony won the Year 7 - 8 division in exactly seven minutes, followed four seconds later by Cambridge Middle School’s Daniel Cook.

We will be located at 13A Anzac Street (Opposite New World Supermarket).

Another CMS student, Jasmine Davis was the first female to finish, placing seventh overall in 7 minutes and 22 seconds followed by Annabel Chapman (St Peter’s) just a second behind.

Cambridge East School’s Gethyn Foster clocked the fastest time in the Year 5 - 6 division at seven and a half minutes exactly, with Hautapu’s Maggie Davis 42 seconds behind as the fastest female.

Luke Taylor of Leamington School won the Year 3 – 4 division in seven minutes and 40 seconds, and Goodwood student Trista Cowley was the fastest girl in eight minutes and 22 seconds.

this year’s event was the huge sense of community spirit.

“We were really happy with the support from our local community … we must be doing something right!”

They wished to thank all of the volunteers that helped make the event possible, including the 16 Cambridge Rotarians that helped out with marshalling.

Though funds haven’t yet been finalised, the event is expected to have raised around 15 to 17 thousand dollars.

Most of the funds raised will go towards an outdoor turf for St Peter’s Catholic School’s outdoor learning environment. $1 from each entry is also going towards Cambridge Lifeskills.

The evening of dance will take place at the Raleigh Street Christian Centre in Leamington tomorrow, Saturday March 16, starting at 6pm. Heading the bill will be the Arrows International Dance Company who will bring a mix of ballet, hip-hop, contemporary dance, swing, musical theatre and drama.

Cambridge Community House (CCH) general manager Harriet Dixon said the evening would effectively kick off public fundraising essential for Cambridge Community House Trust to design and build its much-needed new building.

“So far, we’ve raised around $85,000,” she said. “At this stage, we’re still looking at full costs of about $500,000, but we are also in the process of finalising a quote for the building, so that may change.”

She said a suggestion to have a fundraising evening with the Arrows group had come initially from Maxine Nelson, who together with her husband Ray, owns and runs Ignite Dance Academy.

Maxine said Ignite had come into contact with Arrows through a mutual acquaintance.

“They take their performances to many different parts of the world, but the one big factor for us is that they try to find ways to give back to the communities they serve. That is huge for us … it’s a big part of what we do. We have been wanting to get something going within our own community in terms of ‘giving back’ and thought this was a good place to start.”

Maxine said she hoped the Arrows fundraising partnership with Cambridge Community House would be the start of something bigger that they could take into the future.

Tickets for the March 16 dance evening are $5 per person, or $20 per family (two adults and three children). Youngsters under five are free, and refreshments will be available for cash-only sales at the interval. They can be purchased either from Cambridge Community House at 193 Shakespeare Street, via email (office@camcomhouse.org.nz), or phone 07-827 5794. They are also available at Ignite Dance Academy at 20 Milicich Place, or the Raleigh Street Christian Centre, 24 Raleigh Place.

World first for Leamington Primary

By Viv Posselt Leamington School has become the first primary school in the world to partner with London-based RocheMartin International on a global research project that could potentially change the teaching landscape for children.

The research being done this year will identify tools for developing emotional intelligence (EI) in primary school-aged children. Until now, RocheMartin’s international research on EI focused on adults and youth.

The company’s EI trainer in New Zealand, Mary-Anne Murphy, has spearheaded the programme here for the past three years and is fronting the company’s partnership with Leamington School.

“This is one of the few schools being used anywhere in the research, and the first at primary level,” she said. “We selected Leamington Primary because I’ve worked with them in the past and know them to be innovative and proactive in terms of leadership.”

Leamington Primary’s principal Mike Malcolm described the world-first partnership as “very humbling”.

“When Cambridge schools were encouraged to consult with parents last year to identify what they most valued for their children from school, Leamington’s parents said key priorities were formal educational outcomes together with emotional intelligence, overall happiness and resilience,” he said.

“Most schools talk about developing happy, emotionally rounded and resilient children, but don’t have a deliberate way of supporting this, or have any metrics

The team steering a world-first at Leamington Primary. They are, from left, RocheMartin’s New Zealand trainer Mary-Anne Murphy, Leamington Primary associate principal (junior) Tonia Fenemor, Leamington Primary teacher Rebecca ‘Becs’ Paulsen, and Leamington Primary associate principal (senior) Mel Martin.

to determine whether they are making a difference. We wanted to make a deliberate transition from hoping we are making a difference to having the confidence that the many resources we already put into supporting these things is having an impact.

“We wanted to collect the voice of children about if they are noticing a difference internally, rather than relying on adults assuming a difference was being made through what they observed.”

RocheMartin echoes a call by clinical psychologist Martyn Newman, PhD, to redefine 21st century workplace leadership from one of ‘control and command’ to a ‘strong back, soft front’ approach, with the view that millennium leaders can no longer

rely only on management skills to affect change.

Mary-Anne, who has worked over 30 years’ in education and did her master’s research on emotional intelligence, believes education critically needs investment in the wellbeing of both educationists and pupils, citing high burnout rates among teachers, high anxiety levels among students and the country’s suicide rate as reason enough to help people develop emotional intelligence and resilience earlier in life.

“The assessment and developmental tools used by RocheMartin look at leadership of self, leadership in interactions with our environment, and leadership with others,” said Mary-Anne. “Leamington is their

attempt to see how far down the age-range they can take the emotional intelligence tools they have developed. This is the only school in the world that will be using these tools to create a personal development plan for students, and for schools in general.

“This is not touchy-feely stuff … it’s hard. It will have huge implications for the education sector in New Zealand; it could change the way we do teacher training.”

Three teachers at Leamington Primary undertook special training in January to be EI project coaches working with Mary-Anne this year.

They are associate principal (junior) and Year 1 and 2 teacher Tonia Fenemor, Year 3 and 4 teacher Rebecca Paulsen and associate principal (senior) and Year 5 and 6 teacher Mel Martin – the equivalent of $10,000 in training sponsored by RocheMartin.

Fifty Leamington Primary children are on board for the research, selected by the three teachers for their potential to best benefit from the programme.

Different phases of the research will take them and their families through various stages and an EI assessment, culminating at the end of the year with 10 students selected randomly for a second assessment to evaluate the programme’s effectiveness.

The cost of 60 free assessments, around $2000 per child involved in the project, is being ‘gifted’ by RocheMartin.

“The research methodology will examine how we can adapt the same competencies we use in the adult programme to children at primary school.

“At the end of the day, they are more likely to absorb the work they’re doing at school if they have the tools to strengthen their emotional intelligence.”

Retirement villages on the grow

Retirement villages are as diverse as their occupants, and the way they are owned and managed varies. They may be commercial or not-for-profit and offer a variety of lifestyles. With baby boomers retiring, or planning for retirement, the tradition of retirement living is being challenged.

As a result, the term ‘retirement village’ has developed a much wider meaning. While the primary focus of many villages is to provide care and support, the retirement living concept has grown to include resortlike lifestyles.

Cambridge is considered a very desirable place to retire, as evidenced by its demographics and the steady development of new retirement

homes. Luxury village complexes are on the rise. Some incorporate independent lifestyles with rest home services. As well as personal services, facilities can include libraries and common rooms, plus entertainment and sports amenities such as swimming pools and gymnasiums.

When choosing a retirement village it’s important to consider the philosophy it has towards caring for older people, the types of shared facilities and services, how the management operates, and how the village best meets your needs and what those future needs are likely to be.

Villages are managed in different ways and offer a variety of housing,

facilities and services. As well as the lifestyle to consider, there are ongoing relationships between residents, owners, management and staff to take into account.

Entering a village is not like buying a house. The financial and legal structures are different. Use an independent lawyer experienced in retirement villages to guide you through the process. Find out whether units have titles or a licence to occupy. Make enquiries as to whether you can move within the village when and if your needs change, and what the process and costs will be. Being aware of the full costs – initial, ongoing and exit costs – is essential.

Age Concern coming to Cambridge As the number of older people in Cambridge grows, Age Concern recognises increased demand for its services. In response, the organisation is opening an office in Cambridge for one day a week. “Cambridge is the largest Waikato population centre outside Hamilton, so it makes sense for us to have a physical presence in Cambridge,” says Age Concern Hamilton executive officer Brent Nielsen. The office opens on April 11 in the St Johns building. Appointments to talk to elder

abuse social workers, a community worker or educationalist can be made by phoning 07 838 2266 any time.

Age Concern is a charitable organisation dedicated to people over 65. It promotes dignity, well-being, equity and respect, and provides expert information and support services in response to older people's needs.

“We are active and vocal on relevant issues and work to ensure older people stay connected with their family, friends and community,” says

Nielsen.

Working in collaboration with Waipa District Council, Age Concern is holding a Cambridge Seniors Road Safety Expo on Tuesday 19 March at the Cambridge Town Hall from 10.00am -3.00pm. The expo features displays, a panel of experts to answer all questions about road safety and driver licensing, and entertainment from Glenn Carley.

Not your usual retirement village Cambridge Resthaven is a community trust, and that’s something quite different from most retirement villages you see nowadays.

Established by the community over 45 years ago, the Cambridge Resthaven Trust Board started with the goal of providing a rest home for the elderly. Fast forward to today, and the organisation employs 90 staff across its retirement village, rest home, continuing care, dementia care, and recreational and community programmes. That might make it sound like a corporate, but throughout all the changes and growth over the years, the organisation has retained the not-for-profit community trust structure and community ethos - a good example of this is the way it shares capital gain on the sale of its village units.

David Hall Cambridge Resthaven CEO says, “We are not your usual retirement village. We are not part of a chain of villages, and our focus is solely on this community. Our Trustees are

from the community and, because we don’t have shareholders, every dollar goes back into providing services for our seniors.”

There are a number of activities that Cambridge Resthaven helps provide in the community ranging from Meals on Wheels, Craft days and the Cambridge Menzshed, to the Freedom Wheelers Mobility Scooters Social Club and Showtime Travel Connect.

Mr Hall said, “We’re always conscious of adapting to what is happening in the community and providing services that are needed. This year, it means we are winding down the Day Club in town and instead providing day care and respite options here at Resthaven, as well as joining forces with Aged Concern to provide a home visiting service for the elderly.”

And, what will the future bring? According to Mr Hall we should “Watch this space” as Cambridge Resthaven is currently looking out to their next phase of development.

Kiwis aren’t great at putting money away for a rainy day. While some of us do manage to save money for the good things in life such as holidays or weddings, planning for a funerals is not often considered. Yet it is a life event we will all face, says funeral director Jim Goddin of Grinter’s Funeral Home.

Seeing first-hand the difficulty families faces when it comes to honouring a loved one, Grinter’s funeral directors can’t stress enough the importance of pre-planning funerals. Pre-planning not only relieves pressure off a family at a stressful time, it also ensures every loved one’s wish taken into account.

Alongside pre-planning, Grinter’s encourage people to prepay their funeral. This not only takes financial strain off loved ones, there is a strong fiscal reason for putting aside funds in a pre-paid funeral plan.

An erroneous assumption is often made that proceeds from an estate sale will cover funeral costs. Firstly, the settlement

of an estate and subsequent sale of a property can take many months. And secondly, many people spend their latter years in a retirement village or residential care facility. The funds from the sale of the family home can get eaten up by the cost of this care.

When a funeral is pre-paid, and if a need arises for long-term residential care in a rest home or hospital, then the value of that pre-paid funeral, up to $10,000, is excluded from the government’s financial means assessment for the residential care subsidy.

Two products in the market around funeral planning and payment include pre-paid funeral trusts and funeral insurance plans. Both need careful consideration. The people most knowledgeable to help you work through the options are the staff at Grinter’s Funeral Home. “We can help you consider all aspects of your pre-arrangement,” says Jim Goddin.

Be prepared

Retirement is one of the big developmental stages that we face in life. Things change markedly when we go from full-time work to reliance on investment capital for income. While New Zealand Super helps, it's advisable to have more choices. We're living longer and need to plan for retirement to make sure our savings and investments last as long as we do.

How confident are you that you will have enough money to live comfortably throughout your retirement years? Managing your day-to-day expenses on a fixed income can be stressful, but ensuring your basic needs are met could go a long way in helping you reduce your overall stress levels. Proper financial preparation can help reduce this retirement stress. Establishing healthy financial habits early on will promote less stress and more financial stability in your later years.

Tools are available that can help you work out what we think we can live on in retirement. Check Kiwi Wealth your bank or a financial advisor.

Talking to a financial advisor before you retire will help put you on the road to financial security.

Financial advisers are knowledgeable about super and tax legislations and can translate them into actionable strategies. They can also assess the best income stream options and structure your retirement portfolio. Plan for the financial obstacles of retirement by working with a financial professional.

At the end of the day, there are three golden rules: complete your financial education, take responsibility and work out your wealth goals.

Not that long ago it was fairly common to hear the observation - ‘60 is the new 40’. This was in reference to how 60 year-olds were much healthier and more active than they were one or two generations ago.

Now we’re beginning to hear, ‘80 is the new 60’. The term ‘elderly’ is more likely to refer to those 90 years old and over. The threshold ages for being classified as ‘senior’ or ‘elderly’ are being redefined.

The new generation of senior citizens, while more numerous, are also more healthy and more active. They are challenging the notion of retirement and being old.

A healthy retirement is the one thing everyone wants, alongside having enough money. Keeping your body and brain active in retirement can save years of ill health, aid independence and optimise quality of life.

The importance of socialising as a means to keeping our minds sharp and possibly preventing or delaying dementia has become a subject of more intense study in recent years.

Research shows that people who are socially integrated have better memory retention that those who are socially isolated.

Community Board update Mike Pettit, chairperson of the Cambridge Community Board, shares the latest from their March meeting.

The Cambridge Community Board (CCB) through its Le Quesnoy and Cambridge Sister City Committee held a successful event at the beginning of the month. This brought a gathering of 83 people together who had family connections to the liberation battle of Le Quesnoy on November 4, 1918.

It is pleasing the resealing of Thornton Road is about to take place after shoddy workmanship at the time of the original resurfacing.

There is no additional cost to the ratepayer for the remedial work.

The CCB recommended to council that footpaths renewal or new footpaths be at a width of 2.5 meters

where possible to allow for the increasing use of mobility scooters and bike traffic in particular. Pleasingly this has been taken up by council.

The CCB sent a submission to council regarding the speed limit review. We supported the vast majority of recommended speed changes and added some further reductions on few more streets and semirural roads.

In the quarter from October to December 2018 there were 33 house building consents issued for Cambridge totalling $17,293,591 averaging $540,424 per dwelling.

Maungatautari totalled $5,847,000 with five house consents issued.

The building consent process has now gone online which has received positive feedback. It is a more efficient and flexible process for both council staff and builders.

The Annual Plan Review is coming up with submissions closing on Monday, April 8 at 5pm. The CCB are looking at including submissions around a bike/cycle bridge across the Waikato River, additional angle parking along Taylor Street, changes to being able to subdivide small rural blocks of land that are realistically not of a size to become economically productive and the deferred commercial land down in the Carters Flat area to become commercial land.

We received an update on the Cambridge Museum and Heritage Centre (yet to be officially named) that is planned to be built in 2020/21. The patron for the project is Sir Patrick Hogan. It will sit alongside the existing Cambridge Museum, however will increase the display space three-fold,

while also containing an archive and sorting room.

Eric Hill is the chairperson of the Cambridge Heritage Charitable Trust, established to carry out this project.

Waipa District Council have contributed $800,000 towards it, with the remaining $2 million needing to come by way of fundraising through grants, sponsorship or work in kind.

If yourself or your organisation would like to get behind the project please contact Erin at: 2hills@ waipamail.co.nz.

Reds score three wins in build-up to new season

By Josh Easby

Cambridge Football Club’s top three men’s sides all notched confidence-building wins in their pre-season campaigns last weekend.

The Reds first team, preparing for the start of the Lotto NRFL second division on March 30, travelled to Auckland club Papatoetoe and took out the match 4-1.

Paul Richardson’s side took the initiative, taking a 3-0 lead with two goals from recent English arrival Michael Leatherbarrow and another from last year’s leading goalscorer Josh Clarkin.

The rest of the match was more evenly fought with Fabian Munoz scoring Cambridge’s fourth goal despite a consolation effort from the Auckland hosts.

In the early game, Cambridge’s reserves romped to a 7-2 victory against Papatoetoe’s second string.

Meanwhile, Cambridge’s third side, who will play in the 2019 Loaded WaiBOP Championship, beat a side from Hamilton Wanderers 3-1 in their first friendly.

Next Saturday, March 16, Cambridge’s top three men’s sides will all play teams from Waipa neighbours Te Awamutu, with the games being played at John Kerkhof Park.

Last Sunday, the experienced Saggies – a team of long-time football friends –won the 2019 Calnar Cambridge Sevens (women’s) tournament after one of the most thrilling finals in the competition’s history.

Despite playing six half-hour matches throughout the day, Saggies overcame a young and hard-working Melville United team 5-4 in a final that saw end-to-end football.

Andrea Rogers and Libby Williams both scored goals direct from corners, while other goals came from longrange efforts and set plays.

Melville’s goals were more the result of passing football and their performance almost sent the final to extra time.

Nick Ross second overall in V8s Zara Robertson

Cambridge V8 driver Nick Ross has finished in second place in the 2018/19 BNT V8s Championship following the sixth and final round held at Hampton Downs over the weekend.

Ross had been locked in a fierce battle with young Australian driver Jack Smith all season with the two drivers going into the final round with Smith leading by a narrow points margin.

At round six, Ross qualified his Total Lubricants Nissan Altima in fourth place at the North Waikato circuit, and went on to record three third place finishes on his way to second overall for the weekend.

Smith gathered enough points early in the weekend to clinch the

championship with one race remaining.

Reflecting on his season, the 2013/14 champion says that despite being in contention all season long, it just wasn’t quite enough to clinch the top spot.

“We came very close to grabbing that number one spot,” said Ross.

“It was a long hard season. We had some moments of brilliance, we got a number of race wins and podiums along the way, but then we also got a couple of rounds wrong which didn’t help.”

“Whether the car wasn’t quite right, or we just had bad luck and got tangled up with someone on track or I made a couple of mistakes. To win championships you have to get it right the whole way through and we didn’t

do it, the Hamilton Motorsports team did a better job than we did, and Jack was really consistent.”

“It’s a very tight championship. Its good, close racing, and that’s what this class is all about.

“Though we didn’t win, we were consistently in that top group of cars and have been in contention every weekend which is really positive and we can build on that, bring on next season.”

Nick Ross, the TOTAL Lubricants Nissan Altima and Concept Motorsport is supported this season by TOTAL Lubricants, RYCO 24•7, C&R Developments, Jim Wright Nissan, Team Wino, Auto Trail Ltd, 82C, Waikato Aggregates and Tyre Traders.

success at Takapoto

Cambridge student Zara Robertson competed in the Rising Star class at Takapoto Estate Show Jumping recently. The St Peter’s student managed to win the class, riding aboard her horse Showtym Mamma Mia.

Nick Ross has finished second in the 2018/19 BNT V8s Championship following the final round at Hampton Downs.

FRIDAY MARCH 15, 2019

Bond back in the boat Hamish Bond is switching back from bike to boat as he vies for selection into the New Zealand men’s eight crew.

The double-Olympic gold rower has spent the past two years cycling at national and international level, collecting a bronze medal at the 2018 Commonwealth Games in the men’s road cycling time trial, and setting a new record in the individual pursuit at the National Elite Track Cycling Champs at the Avantidrome last month.

“When I stepped away from rowing after the Rio Olympics in 2016, I had achieved everything I set out to in the men’s pair,” said Bond, who raced alongside Eric Murray for eight years as the New Zealand men’s coxless pair, winning seven world champ gold medals and two Olympic golds.

“After two years away from the sport I have come to the decision that there are more things I would like to achieve in rowing before my time is done.”

Bond and Murray still hold world best times in two boat classes, the men’s pair and men’s coxed pair.

The duo also won New Zealand’s supreme Halberg award on two occasions and were appointed to the New Zealand

Order of Merit for their services to rowing in 2013.

Last year the International Rowing Federation awarded Bond and Murray the sport’s highest honour, the Thomas Keller Medal, for their outstanding international rowing career.

Having rowed only in the men’s coxless four and the men’s coxless pair, this time around Bond is switching his focus to the men’s eight, which will be announced early next month, with his eyes set firmly on making the Tokyo 2020 boat.

“At any level, the men’s and women’s eights are the most exciting events in the sport, and representing New Zealand in a bigger crew has become a challenge and opportunity I can’t ignore,” he said.

Rowing NZ Chief Executive Simon Peterson said the organisation was “very happy” to have Bond return to the programme and looked forward to seeing him out on the water again.

“Hamish’s past achievements in the sport of rowing and more recently in cycling, are proof enough that his natural talents and hunger for success are an unstoppable force.”

Hamish Bond has decided there are more things he would like to achieve in rowing, this time aiming to compete with the men’s eight crew.

Squash star makes quarter final

Joelle King made it through to the quarter final of the PSA Squash World Championship earlier this month, succumbing to Frenchwoman Camille Serme 7-11, 8-11, 4-11 in 37 minutes.

Fourth-seeded King traded shots with the fifth-seeded player early in the game before the opponent began dictating play from the front of the glass court, located in the Grand Hallway at Union Station in Chicago.

The world number three-ranked Cambridge squash star was familiar with the French player, having won against her five times in the past and losing three

times. The last time they played each other, earlier this year in New York, King won in convincing fashion.

The 30 year old won her three other games at the Chicago tournament, including a win over 18th seed Joey Chang (Hong Kong) 11-7, 11-9, 15-13 in 31 minutes.

The first two games were straight forward, but this one saw her struggle at times with her opponent winning four points in a row to hold an 8-4 lead. But King then reeled off four points herself, holding on strong to eventually win the set and match.

“It was nice to be on the glass today, nice to feel to the vibe out there,” she said after the third winning match. “It’s cold outside, so it took a little while for the ball to warm. I’m just glad to get one under the belt really.”

King equalled her 2017 performance at the competition, making the last eight of the tournament.

King was a multiple medal winner at last year’s Gold Coast Commonwealth Games, winning gold in the singles and gold in the women’s doubles with Amanda Landers-Murphy, as well as bronze in mixed division with Paul Coll.

Joelle King dominates the court during the PSA Squash World Championship.

For the Cambridge Tramping Club’s recent tramp, we drove down to Piopio and turned onto Waitanguru Road to Terry’s farm at Waitanguru – a very pretty and interesting drive once we left the main road.

The first part of the tramp was through farmland and up through rocky bush to the Ratanui trig, a very old trig. There were great views over the local area. The walk was very steep with beautiful enormous rocky areas with small caves and fossils. Hard work but worth it.

Then back down onto the farm and along a narrow road, past a beautiful area where a wedding was once held.

A large curved cliff lined the backdrop with large flat-topped rocks for seats and tables, all close to a memorial gateway with a board stating it was once the area where the local school was.

We had our lunch in the local Waitanguru hall.

Then onto the second part which was up steep hills etc to an old trig which had been removed, to see the wonderful views to Ruapehu one way and Tawarau Forrest the other.

We were very high, enjoying areas we hadn’t been to before.

Then it was back down to our cars for the drive home. We all had a great day and loved it.

Trampers enjoyed views from rolling farm country during their recent tramp at Waitanguru.

Enjoying the Waihi sights from the vintage train.

Submitted by 60s Up Cambridge

It was a beautiful sunny day for a drive through the countryside for 60s Up recently, travelling on through Karangahake Gorge to finish at the Waikino Station Cafe for a cup of coffee or tea before boarding the vintage train to Waihi.

Our next stop was the Waihi Beach RSA for lunch, a beautiful venue which looks out to the ocean and a really nice lunch which was enjoyed by all.

After lunch our driver took us on a tour around Waihi Beach and along the coast road as far as Bowentown. A beautiful drive with lots of lovely character baches with the ocean in the background. A most enjoyable mystery trip.

60s up is a social group for seniors and retired persons who meet regularly to enjoy activities, trips and outings, as well as monthly social meetings. The group meets on the first Tuesday of the month, 12.15pm at Raleigh St Christian Centre. New members are most welcome. To find out more phone Jeanette on 827 3344.

Senior road users will be under the spotlight in Cambridge later this month.

Road users aged 60-plus are being targeted by a special Road Safety Expo for seniors; a joint initiative by Age Concern and Waipa District Council.

Waipā road safety co-ordinator Megan Jolly said the day’s activities had a focus on many different aspects of road safety, not just driving.

“Attendees will be encouraged to ask all those questions they always wanted to know about being safe on our roads. We’ve got a panel of experts lined up including representatives from NZ Police, Council, NZ Transport Agency and a driving testing officer.”

Expo workshops will focus on intersection rules, road code changes and life after driving.

Participants will be invited to test-drive and find out more about mobility scooters and check out the latest electric-assist bicycles. Information on walking and cycling groups and bus tours will be available to encourage new members and participation.

The free Expo will be held 10am – 3pm on Tuesday, March 19 at the Cambridge Town Hall.

Participants at the Road Safety Expo will be invited to test-drive and find out more about mobility scooters and life after driving.

Master potter at Heritage Gallery

A special exhibition at Heritage Gallery coinciding with the Cambridge Autumn Festival kicked off on Saturday with master potter Ross Palmer making an appearance for the launch of his new Urban Design range.

The exhibition of Ross’ work will run through into April.

The latest range includes mostly slab-built rectangular vessels, where the clay becomes a surface for decoration.

The master thrower shows great confidence with a brush throughout the pieces, including bowls with a powder blue surface combined with a zingy red touch.

“All these pieces would sit beautifully in an interior needing a burst of colour,” said Sandra Webb, Heritage Gallery.

Ross lives and works in Taupo and has had a long

Master potter Ross Palmer was in Cambridge on Saturday for the launch of his latest range at Heritage Gallery.

When Cambridge local Roger Dean visited the Agricultural Heritage Village at Mystery Creek, a popular tourist attraction and historic site at Fieldays, he was inspired by an item he found there.

During his time milking cows in the UK as a young man, he would frequently use a certain type of milking system that was not commonly found in New Zealand. But he found one in the Ag Heritage Village and decided he would make a replica made completely out of wood.

It’s a craft Roger has been passionate about for most of his life – in fact he’s been wood turning since the 1980s. And so a labour of love followed, and after around eight months and several visits to the village, Roger’s piece of art was created – and what a masterpiece it is.

The milking system

Darth Vader hot air balloon will return for the first time since 2008.

replica is made completely out of wood, predominantly paulownia, with the tubes made from walnut and the seals and a few other bits and pieces made from mahogany.

Roger plans on entering his masterpiece in the National Woodskills Competition known as WoodFest, held this year in Kawerau in late September.

Older than Ireland

Destroyer follows the moral and existential odyssey of LAPD detective Erin Bell who, as a young cop, was placed undercover with a gang in the California desert with tragic results. When the leader of that gang re-emerges many years later, she must work her way back through the remaining members and into her own history with them to finally reckon with the demons that destroyed her past. The director and cinematographer coordinated well to create an atmosphere that is enthralling and tragic and the locations and sets chosen show the depravity and misery that is the backdrop for most of the film.

A gripping true story of humanity and heroism, HOTEL MUMBAI vividly recounts the 2008 siege of the famed Taj Hotel by a group of terrorists in Mumbai, India. Among the dedicated hotel staff is the renowned chef Hemant Oberoi (Anupam Kher) and a waiter (Academy Award-Nominee Dev Patel for Slumdog Millionaire) who choose to risk their lives to protect their guests. As the world watches on, a desperate couple (Armie Hammer and Nazanin Boniadi) is forced to make unthinkable sacrifices to protect their newborn child.
