A call to remember In the wake of the tragic terror attack on two mosques in Christchurch, members of the Frankton Mosque in Hamilton are keeping their doors open and welcoming the public to join in remembering those who lost their lives. The mosque, also known as the Hamilton West Islamic Centre or Masjid Al Madeena, attracts Cambridge members to prayer. From Friday to Tuesday this week, armed police maintained a constant presence there. Armed police are still attending all five daily prayer sessions, as well as driving by and stopping in on a regular basis. “We always feel safe in this place, but we feel more confident now (with a police presence),” said Mohammad Hassan, president of the Islamic centre. “I think they’re doing a good job… we’re alright, we seem to be safe here.” Hassan said the mosque is still “always open to anybody” to come and join. All different ethnicities attend the mosque. “We never stop anyone,” said Hassan, adding that Police security are still checking those who attend the mosque for the time being. A public gathering will be held at the mosque today (March 22) from 5.30 to 6.30pm at 45 Bandon St. Hamilton Mayor Andrew King will speak and kaumatua from Te Rūnanga Ō Kirikiriroa will attend. “We are inviting everybody in the Waikato to come and join, share, sympathise with the people of Christchurch,” Hassan said. Hassan added that they had been overwhelmed by the messages of support and sympathy. A collection of flowers and messages have amassed on the street outside the mosque. “It is really amazing that Kiwis have got together and said hey, we are all one.” Originally from Fiji, the Waikato resident of 32 years said he never would have dreamed that something like the Christchurch terror attack could happen in New Zealand. Despite that, he still felt confident for the country’s future. “It has brought a lot of people, all the Kiwis, together. It shows the true sort of Kiwis we have in New Zealand.” Hassan encouraged all members of the Cambridge community to come along to the Friday evening gathering to commemorate the fallen people of Christchurch. Abdu Kadir Saquafi , the Imam/priest of the Frankton Mosque, and Mohammad Hassan, president, outside the Islamic centre’s new mosque currently under construction. The pair are welcoming all Waikato residents to attend their Christchurch memorial service.

Cambridge bows its head for Christchurch By Viv Posselt
A crime of hate perpetrated on the Ides of March has ripped apart Kiwi innocence and complacency, horrifying people around the world. What it has also done is shine a light on all the things that unite, not divide, New Zealand’s many different communities. Calls for support have been made by various Cambridge groups, just as they have by groups around the country; Neighbourhood Support Cambridge is one of them. The group’s community engagement officer Hannah Glover was in the news earlier this month calling for support for Neighbours Day Aotearoa, being marked from March 22-31. In the wake of the Christchurch attacks, she offered condolences to the families and communities involved and said some of those families had been members of Neighbourhood Support groups. “Neighbourhood Support Christchurch are busy connecting and supporting their local community, and national office is in regular touch to offer help where needed,” she said. “Our thoughts are also with our police partners, who have done an outstanding job. “In light of this tragedy, neighbours and communities become more important than ever in the support they can give one another.” She urged people to check in with others, especially those who may feel vulnerable, or be part of the Muslim and migrant community. Harriet Dixon, manager of Cambridge Community House, said no-one should live in fear because of the beliefs and opinions of others. “As a community-based organisation, we are extremely saddened by the events in Christchurch, and can only imagine the effects on their community. We all need to step up and support anyone in our community who has been affected by this event.” The organisation held a family-orientated fundraiser last Saturday, aimed at swelling funds for the building of an extension. Harriet said the event had started with a minute’s silence “to allow us to support each other and those affected by this tragedy”.
Destination Cambridge expressed its support for New Zealand’s Muslim community and for others affected by the attacks and encouraged people keen to donate to visit the official givealittle page (givealittle.co.nz/cause/christchurchshooting-victims-fund). A tribute to the victims saw flowers, toys and messages laid in growing numbers in front of the Cenotaph at the Cambridge Town Hall - the intention is for the flowers to remain there until the end of this week. Destination Cambridge CEO Miff Macdiarmid said that, as always, the i-SITE was a source of valuable information for locals and travellers alike. “People can come in with regard
to travel in and out of New Zealand and Christchurch, and we are able to advise people on where to get any help, support and information they may need.” The attacks also struck close to home for Cambridge-based Waipa District Councillor Sue Milner. “As someone who grew up in Christchurch – my Ngai Tahu Tipuna are of the local hapu – I am devastated that this hideous attack has happened,” she said. “I know the area well, I attended high school close by the area. My thoughts are with the people of Christchurch, and particularly with our Muslim brothers and sisters.”

WE SAY…
Hate: it starts with words The digital era opened lines of communication which transcended anything the world might have imagined. In 20 years, we caught up with Gene Rodenberry’s Star Trek and his “beam me up Scotty” communicator and left his flip phone in the dust. Families reconnected and communication with almost anyone anywhere about anything could be achieved at little cost on a palm-sized device. But as the democratic world enjoyed its new loud voice, armies of anonymous keyboard warriors who dripped spite and venom massed. The internet became a recruitment tool for terrorists and a breeding ground for all levels of hate. What Martin Luther King lived and died fighting was given a new lease of life. New Zealand reeled as we saw the first human victims of cyber bullies – reflected in our teen suicide numbers. Once in a while we even identified a cyber bully, despite the growing clamour for a “right to privacy”. In the wake of the Christchurch shootings we should reflect on the fact that hate speech has become an insidious and accepted part of life. What one man did with guns last Friday is what hundreds if not thousands do in New Zealand every day with words. Think of the man in Hawke’s Bay who made a public scene, abusing another man who was giving his mihi. Think of the security company man who was filmed abusing a woman in South Auckland. When we officially call the shootings a white supremacist terror act, we conveniently cover over some cracks by saying this is not the real New Zealand. This was an act of hate, but in New Zealand, we are reluctant to call that sort of thing out unless the victim ends up with a broken eye socket, like Green Party leader James Shaw. Mainstream media world-wide adorns stories with abusive footnotes from readers and even gives the authors credibility by writing stories about what they have to say. Last week that hatred descended to a level we have never experienced. We hope the Christchurch tragedy will awaken New Zealand to the fact that hatred is everywhere, manifesting itself first in words. We must not confuse it with democracy. We mourn the losses suffered in our Muslim community. AUSTIN SUITE NOW $5,699Salaam. SAVE $2,500* in leather Cambridge News Photo – Michael Jeans

Christchurch terror attack hitting home
In the wake of Friday’s horrific tragedy in Christchurch, where a gunman attacked the Al Noor and Linwood mosques, killing 50 people and injuring 50 more, we share the thoughts and sentiments of figures here in Cambridge, as our entire country mourns. Louise Upston, Taupo electorate MP On Friday 15 March, New Zealand was shaken to its core. An unspeakable act of violence not only tore families apart in Christchurch, but it has ripped through the hearts of all of us here in Cambridge. This morning (Monday, March 18) I put flowers on the heart shaped tribute in front of the town hall and was very moved by the messages of support from the people of Cambridge to the people of Christchurch. My deepest condolences, thoughts and prayers go to all those directly affected by yesterday’s events, and to the wider Canterbury community. I know that the people of Cambridge share your deep sorrow. We are united in our grief, and in our determination to remain the type of country who accepts all people regardless of race or religion, that stands up against hate, and is a safe place. Mayor Jim Mylchreest, Waipa District Council Like all New Zealanders I have been sickened by the Friday events in Christchurch. It was a gutless, cowardly attack from a deranged individual whose views have no place in New Zealand. Waipā celebrates diversity. It makes us a stronger community and a better place and it will not change our way of life or the values that are important to us. I offer my sincere condolences to members of Waipa’s Muslim community and know that all Waipa residents will join me in offering them as much support as possible.
Waipa District Council is now flying all flags at half-mast as a mark of mourning and respect for the victims, at the direct request of Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern who has asked the same of all government/local government offices. The flags will remain at half-mast until further notice. Mike Pettit, chairperson, Cambridge Community Board We as a Cambridge Community Board are deeply saddened and shocked at what happened in Christchurch on Friday. As a town we are grieving in our own ways and this includes the many people who have laid flowers, left messages and reflected at the town plaza. It was a horrific and senseless act, by a person who has no understanding of overall Kiwi culture. The people of Cambridge stand with those of Islamic faith, who have been so directly affected. Aroha nui to the 50 Muslim New Zealanders that fell and to those who are still recovering physically, along with the thousands that have been emotionally scarred for life. We encourage the Cambridge community to give financial assistance where possible through the Victim Support Official Page: Christchurch Shooting Victims' Fund at givealittle.co.nz. New Zealand Police While New Zealand police did not provide a written statement, they did confirm that a contingent of police from the Waikato has provided support and resources to Canterbury
MP Louise Upston pays her respects at the Christchurch tribute set up outside the town hall.
as part of the national response. Police would not disclose the exact number of officers, but media have reported that seven officers from the Waikato have gone, some of which are from the Cambridge station. Following the attack, all police in New Zealand now have their guns on them at all times, rather than being kept in their cars. It has not been confirmed whether this will be a permanent measure. “All Police throughout New Zealand
are on alert following the horrific attack in Christchurch on Friday,” a police spokesperson said. “We are constantly assessing and reassessing the situation both nationally and locally. “While we have no information to suggest any specific risk to public safety, we are reminding the public remain vigilant and to report any suspicious or concerning behaviour to Police by calling 111 or reporting to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”

Churches stand with New Zealand’s Muslim community By Viv Posselt In the wake of last week’s terror attacks in Christchurch, Cambridge’s religious leaders have called on people to respect the common humanity of all. Speaking almost as one, they denounced the bigotry and hatred that fuelled the attacks on Christchurch’s Al Noor and Linwood mosques, killing 50 people and injuring 50 more, and urged people to come together in supporting victims’ families and the wider Muslim community. Several raised the spectre of white nationalism and white supremacy and said it was the absolute antithesis of Christian values. St Andrews Anglican Church vicar, Rev Malcolm French, said religious leaders need to “call out” any attempt to associate that ideology with Christianity. “This is not an ideology that stands in defence of Christianity. I know white nationalism and supremacy is painted by some as being Christian, but there is nothing Christian about it at all – it is a blasphemy against Christ. The hand of God is more visible in the way people have come together and both respectfully and heroically done what needed to be done in the aftermath of this tragedy.” He said St Andrews opened the church for a few hours last Friday and Saturday evenings, providing a quiet place of worship for those wanting to pray. Like other church leaders, he praised people for their response, and said our national anthem, God Defend New
Zealand, stood out for its focus on prayer for peace, rather than on any declaration of victory. He said Anglican Missions had launched a relief appeal in support of the victims and their families, at https://angmissions.org. nz/donate. Echoing that view was Bridges Church leader, Murray Smith. “Our wonderful anthem is a call to embrace a spirit of reconciliation that embodies justice, respect of others without prejudice as to their creed or nationality,” he said. Father Leonard Danvers of Cambridge’s St Peter’s Parish Catholic Church said many in the Muslim community had come to New Zealand to escape violence and war. “Now that violence and wanton disregard for human life has followed them here. In this time of tragedy, we turn to the love and mercy of the one God we hold in common.” Cambridge Baptist Church held a special service on Sunday to allow people to reflect on what pastor Jonathan Ruthven called “this terrible crime”. “A candle was lit for each of the victims, and much of the service was spent praying for the victims’ families and the Muslim community,” he said. “My message centred on the fact that all people are made in the image of God. When we destroy something that images another, we declare our hatred for what is imaged – in this case, God. So not withstanding this man’s [the attacker] claim in his manifesto that he was doing God’s work, he was
actually declaring his hatred for God by taking human life. “As Christians, we condemn without reservation what happened in Christchurch, and our heartfelt prayers go out to the Muslim community.” Pastor Jeff Parker of the Elim Church Centre said all New Zealanders had been deeply impacted by the Christchurch tragedy, and he encouraged people to contribute through the give-a-little page. “It is pretty devastating to see and hear what has happened, and what the families and individuals affected are going through.” Ken Olsen, minister at Cambridge’s Trinity-St Paul’s Union Parish, said Sunday’s services started with prayers and flowers
offered for the killed and injured. He said it was expected that strong emotions such as sadness, grief, fear and anger surfaced at such a time, but the key was how they were dealt with in a healthy way. In the days since, he said “we have started to see a new sense of unity and understanding of the Muslim community, something we may never have been drawn to perceive before. My hope would be that in the aftermath of this incredibly tragic event, will emerge not just an acceptance but an appreciation of the rich and unique communities in our midst which might have once been hidden from the sight of many. “May these events open a new day for us as a nation.”
Flowers were offered at the start of last Sunday’s services at Cambridge Trinity-St Paul’s Union Parish Church.

Ambassador marks women’s war efforts
By Sophie Iremonger Cambridge hosted the New Zealand Belgian Ambassador for the first time this week, with His Excellency Marc Mullie making a special presentation at Hautapu Cemetary. For their extensive fundraising efforts for Belgium during World War I, Margaret Reynolds and Elsie Nixon were officially recognised as Queen Elisabeth of Belgium Medal holders with Mullie dedicating plaques to their graves. Margaret Reynolds and Elsie Nixon ran the women’s committee of the Cambridge Patriotic Association, raising thousands of pounds for Belgium. They were two of 33 women in New Zealand to be awarded
the Queen Elisabeth medal for service to Belgium in WWI. Across New Zealand, from the break out of WW1 up to 1920, an estimated £5.7 million was raised for patriotic causes in Europe. As part of the centenary of World War I, the Belgian government wanted to restore the graves of Queen Elisabeth medal recipients and mark them with a special plaque to commemorate their services. His Excellency Marc Mullie said during the ceremony on Tuesday morning that Margaret and Elsie would be very proud with the turn out of family members and Cambridge residents. He shared his own family’s WW1 history; his grandfather was born on a family farm in Belgium which was under German
occupation at the time, and by the end of the war the farm was destroyed. It left vivid memories for his family, which he said was important to pass on to the next generation. “And that’s precisely why we’re here today,” he said, “to recognise people who were role models and showed exceptional commitment to do something about human suffering far away. “You usually think of soldiers that went abroad, but we should not forget there were
heroes here too, the family members and those who raised funds.” Margaret’s great grandson Gavin Reynolds said it was inspirational what the women had achieved and appreciated what was being done to commemorate them. “It’s amazing to see the generosity of what people did back then, and great that people are still doing something good today to remember them.”
Who were Elsie Nixon and Margaret Reynolds? Elsie Nixon (née Veale) After war broke out in 1914 Mrs Elsie Nixon devoted much of her time towards the war effort. As honorary secretary of the Cambridge Women’s General Hospital and War Relief Committee she helped to arrange events and fundraisers for various wartime causes, such as the relief of refugees in Europe and returning New Zealand soldiers. In 1916 Elsie helped to organise a patriotic show and a Christmastime campaign in aid of Belgium. In recognition of her fundraising efforts for Belgium, Elsie received the Médaille de la Reine Elisabeth (Queen Elisabeth Medal). She died in March of 1943, aged 59. Her grave is located at Hautapu Cemetery, Block G, Row 20, Plot 322. Margaret Reynolds (née Kells) Margaret Reynolds was a prominent member of the Cambridge community and an active participant in causes related to the war
effort. The wife of wellknown and successful cattle and sheep breeder Richard Reynolds, Margaret was president of the Cambridge Women’s Patriotic and War Relief Committee and was also involved in the Women’s Christian Temperance Union which
sent clothes and funds to Belgian refugees. Margaret was awarded the Médaille de la Reine Elisabeth (Queen Elisabeth Medal) for her work in aid of Belgium. She died in January 1950 at 86 years old. Her ashes were buried at Hautapu Cemetery, Block E.

Cambridge Autumn Festival trustee Alan Milton explained, “We have eight groups, each will dance for about 15 minutes and will tell you about their dances and how you can join their groups. You may even get the opportunity to join in one or two on the night.” Also on this Friday night across the road from the dance show is Balloons over Waikato at Victoria Square. Alan suggests, “Why not make a night of it? Enjoy the balloons, then come over to the Town Hall for Cambridge Can Dance.” Entry is by gold coin donation at the door.

went to hospital was when I was having my babies.” Her delighted and proud son and daughter-in-law, Bruce and Janet McComb, reckon a fair sprinkling of ‘stubborn’ has also played a part in getting her there. The pair joined residents at Cambridge Resthaven on Tuesday morning to share a special birthday tea - and revealed a few gems about their spirited mum in the process. Turns out Millie still refuses to wear hearing aids, has only just resigned herself to using a walking frame and shows a fierce resistance to upgrading her glasses. Word has it, however, that her tough resolve caves to the lure of chocolate, and her extraordinary embroidery, knitting and crochet prowess was featured in a women’s magazine last June. That revealed that Millie’s first pair of knitting needles had been sharpened bike spokes, and that she became skilled enough to whip up a pair of baby’s bootees in just 20 minutes. Most of her knitting has been given away, either to premature babies, or others in need. Organisations such as St John, the New Zealand Police and the Westpac Rescue Helicopter have all been on the receiving end of her generosity, as have several hospitals. “I’ve made 4000 items,” Millie said, adding they they’ve all been carefully catalogued and listed. Advancing stiffness in her fingers means she has reluctantly given away her beloved pastime. “I had to get rid of everything, so I wouldn’t be tempted to start again,” she smiled. Born in Hawera in 1916, little Millicent Sykes was an eyewatering 12lb 10oz – one of a family of six children. After school, she trained at Kingseat Hospital as a psychiatric nurse, and it was while she was working there that she met her Irish-born husband, Jack McComb, who was a warden. He was planning on taking up an appointment in Africa, and persuaded Millie to marry him in time to accompany him, but World War II scuppered their plans and they remained in New Zealand. Jack joined the Air Force, and was posted to Fiji, leaving Millie at home in Auckland with their two young children – Bruce and Barbara. Jack died of cancer after they had been married for 58 years. The same disease claimed Barbara a couple of

years ago, and it was after her death that Millie moved to Cambridge to be closer to Bruce and Janet. She may be 103, but Millie still shows interest in the world around her, follows the news on radio and through newspapers and keeps up with family; after all, there are five grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren, and three greatgreat-grandchildren to keep track of.

Salvation Army food Letters to the editor bank topped up By Sophie Iremonger
The Cambridge Salvation Army collected over a thousand cans in this year’s Resene Hunger for Colour campaign. Now in its fifth year, the initiative encourages Kiwis to swap cans of food for paint test pots at Resene ColourShops around the country during the month of February. But in many cases this year, people donated cans without a paint pot in return (valued at $4), instead just “doing their bit” for the community. “We’re really impressed by how many Cambridge people have supported us this year,” said Kerry Mason, manager of the Resene Cambridge Colourshop. “We’re very proud of being part of this campaign, working with people in Cambridge to make a difference for struggling people here, and adding colour to customer’s lives.” The Cambridge store collected 229 cans of food for the Salvation Army
Cambridge Corps. Another 851 cans were collected by the Cambridge “Sallies” from Resene paint stores around the district, including Morrinsville (144), Matamata (396) and Te Awamutu (311). The food items will be distributed back into these areas to support struggling families. “We’re now fully stocked up for people in need, and it’s so timely following on from Christmas,” said
Shaun Baker, captain of the Salvation Army Cambridge Corps. “A huge thank you to Resene and the local community.” The donations mean the Salvation Army food bank in Cambridge is now stocked for the next few months, likely lasting until Christmas donations start rolling in again. Last year’s drive saw Cambridge collect more cans than any other town in
the area, with a total of 434 cans of food. Te Awamutu was about 50 cans behind, followed by Matamata with 234 cans and Morrinsville with 84. In total, 38,458 cans across the country were handed in for this year’s Resene Hunger for Colour Campaign. In its five years running, the campaign has collected almost 190,000 cans of food to support struggling New Zealand families.

We recently moved from the South Island to wonderful Cambridge, have bought a house and plan to see out our days here. In the 15 months we have been here the growth of the community is very evident. It is to be hoped that Waipa District Council has a forward plan to increase infrastructure accordingly. Supermarkets, medical and recreation facilities are appearing to struggle under the weight of increasing population. Let’s keep pace with some plans to address these issues. David and Joan Johnston Brian Dunstan comments on the student strike day on Friday, March 15 – a worldwide protest calling for stronger action on climate change. Kids protest, it’s their world too. Isaac Newton likened the Earth’s atmosphere to a greenhouse, protecting us and making life possible, before man had got off the ground. Subsequent generations have created atmospheric pollution, globally, with wars, industry and transport being major contributors. Pollution was greatest at fairly low altitudes. Advances in aviation since the 1950’s have jet aircraft – flying in the upper troposphere – generating gasses that could not get to those altitudes otherwise, or by extreme weather events caused by climate change, or both. Kids! Get out your ‘devices’, Google “climate change, aviation’s contribution” – it’s what Al Gore calls “an inconvenient truth”. Go ahead with your protest. We, your parents and grandparents, through our inaction during the last 60 odd years have allowed this to happen. It’s up to you, it’s your legacy, you’ll need all the help you can get. We’ll be long gone before it’s resolved. During a period between the 1600s and 1818, at intervals of 10 to 20 years, the Thames froze at London for a few days. Glaciers and polar ice-caps melting is not an aberration that will correct its-self if we do nothing. Collecting plastic drinking straws etc can wait, it won’t arrest global warming. Brian Dunstan

Women’s club donates to four deserving groups By Viv Posselt Four local groups received donations of $400 each earlier this month as part of an annual funding round organised by the Cambridge Women’s Club. The four were Achievement House, Camp Quality, Cambridge High School’s STEPS literacy programme, and the Cambridge St John Health Shuttle. Club president Ann Burton said representatives from each of the organisations attended the club’s monthly dinner meeting earlier this month.
“In the past we have posted out cheques to recipient groups, but this year we thought we would invite them to our dinner meeting and ask them to tell us a little bit about what they do,” she said. “It was most interesting and helped us gain a better understanding of their organisations. One of them commented on how unusual it was to be approached to receive funds where normally they would have to ask for help. The fact is, however, that every organisation relying on donations to survive is needy.” Ann said the money had come

primarily through club subs, and while the final decision as to which groups should receive the funds fell to the committee, club members were free to put forward their suggestions. A cheque for $772 was posted out to the Blind Foundation’s Guide Dogs in Auckland, she said. That money was raised through the passing around of a slipper at each of the monthly meetings over the past year. “We’ve been raising money for the guide dogs for years, probably since about 1990,” said Ann. The not-for-profit club has 62 members.
Autumn is nature’s natural planting time. As the soil temperature cools and moisture levels return to normal, planting trees and shrubs gives them the chance to establish new roots before winter. Look out for new season’s camellias and rhododendrons available now. Vegetables Dig potato crops and store in a cool, dark, airy place. Winter crops of greens – cabbage, broccoli, silverbeet and Chinese cabbage – all enjoy the cooler temperatures. Plant seeds of radish turnips along with peas and broad beans Bare areas in the vege garden can be sown with green crops such as mustard or lupin, to be dug in later to feed the soil for spring. This also helps to keep down weeds. Flowers Winter colour for the garden – pansy, viola, primula, poppies and dianthus are all available now. Planting while the weather is still nice will get them established and give colour throughout the cooler months. Spring bulbs can be planted now the soil temperature has cooled. Try planting tulips through a bed of poppy plants for added interest Lawns Sow new lawns now, as fewer weeds will establish themselves.
Happy gardening!

Waipā heritage expert wins Oxford place Anne Blyth was recently one of only three New Zealanders to be accepted into a prestigious cultural leadership programme at the University of Oxford. The Waipa District Council heritage expert, who has been the district’s director of museums and heritage for the last seven years, will join
Anne Blyth
24 other international experts for an intense, one-week programme in the United Kingdom, which begins on April 7. Blyth will pay her own personal costs as well as the course costs and return airfares, and Council has provided six days study leave. She said she is “thrilled if slightly overwhelmed” to be accepted for the programme which launched in 2015 and is always over-subscribed. Council’s plans to build Te Ara Wai, a new exhibition, cultural and information centre in Te Awamutu with a strong focus on the New Zealand Land Wars, played a key part in her selection, she said. “Te Ara Wai will be
nationally and internationally significant because it will, finally, tell the largely untold stories of the NZ Land Wars which shaped our country,” she said. “People around New Zealand and across the world are already very interested in what we’re doing and this is a brilliant opportunity to learn from experts and bring that knowledge back to Waipā.” The Oxford-based programme will focus on developing commercial acumen and the delivery of new business models within an innovative and fast-changing museum environment. It will encourage entrepreneurial thinking with all delegates staying together at historic Corpus Christi College.
Equine Breeding Trainee of the Year Jim Carroll has been awarded Equine Breeding Trainee of the Year (Level 4). When he arrived in Cambridge from Perth in 2015, Jim Carroll had barely touched a horse, but his passion for thoroughbred racing, a strong work ethic and attention to detail has seen Jim rise to the position of dry mare manager at Windsor Park Stud in Leamington.
Jim enrolled in the NZTR Equine Breeding Certificate in 2016 and completed both the Level 3 and 4 qualifications in 2018. NZTR Training adviser Kay Hogan said during his studies, Jim showed great determination, was keen to learn, had an excellent attitude and commitment, all of which made him an outstanding candidate for this year's award.
Waipuke Park erosion work underway Council contractors resumed erosion control work at Waipuke Park south of Karapiro on Monday. The work, which is expected to be completed in the next two weeks, will help control bank erosion at the park using sand-bags, geo-fabric and kikyu instant turf. Similar work has been carried out previously at
Waipuke Park and has worked well. It means there will be restricted access to some of the beach front at the park for about six months, particularly around the peninsular. The restrictions will allow the grass to become firmly established. There are no other restrictions and the park will
remain fully open while the work is underway. Waipuke Park, situated at 953 Maungatautari Road, is open from 7am – 9pm during summer. Gates are locked at other times. The park contains climbing equipment and children’s swings as well as toilets on site. Dogs are allowed but must be kept on leads.
Bowl against the rowers at Grand Garage Sale The opportunity to compete against world champions will be open to the average person on Saturday, March 30 during the Thornton Club’s Grand Garage Sale. The big event, raising funds for the historic 1898 bowling club building on Thornton Rd, will feature a special bowlers vs rowers challenge, where anyone can go up against Cambridge’s world-class rowers in a game of bowls – where it could be anyone’s game. Bragging rights aside, it’s a chance for locals to not only achieve victory over our elite residents, but help make a difference for our local history. The Cambridge Bowling Club is still based in the old building at 37 Thornton Rd. The premises need some restoration work to keep it operating for the public for many more years to come. And so the Grand Garage Sale on March 30, running 9am – 2pm, will raise funds for exactly that. In addition to all sorts of valuable items
in the garage sale, a silent auction will feature an impressive line-up of new goods donated by local businesses. These include whiteware, home appliances, ride on mowers, laptops, bikes, furniture, chainsaws, paintings and heaps more. A BBQ sausage sizzle, cake stand as well as tea and coffee will keep the crowd fuelled as people enjoy shopping, silent bidding and watching the action on the green. Entry into the bowlers-vs-rowers competition is by gold coin donation. The rowers include Michael Brake (Rio Olympian), Zoe McBride (two time world champion), Brook Robertson (Rio Olympian) and Samantha Voss (under 23 world single scull champion) – any of which can be challenged. Those who challenge the rowers to a game will receive a special certificate signed by the rowers. To find out more about the event or to donate towards the cause contact Peter Hand on 021372555.

Taking tech and recycling to a new generation
By Viv Posselt
One year after Geoff Bentley started running a community workshop during Trash & Treasure Sundays, the Cambridge Repair Co-Op is fulfilling its brief while Geoff prepares to take his “recycle and re-use” mantra to a new generation. He has just received $1680 in funding from the Waipa District Council’s Waste Minimisation Fund for a pilot programme of repair and up-cycle workshops called Repair Detectives, set to start next term for Year 3 and 4 pupils in
Tech geek Geoff Bentley in action at one of his teacher workshops. Photo – Billy McQueen (Rekord).
“I try to integrate arts, maths and engineering into what we do – we delve into the science behind technology.” Geoff is a fully accredited professional development facilitator for the Ministry of Education, whom he said were keen to encourage the next generation to become creators and not just consumers of digital technology. He is currently working with schools in Cambridge and the Waikato, helping teach teachers and support them ahead of the implementation in 2020 of new digital technology into the curriculum.
some Cambridge schools. “The idea is to encourage the next generation to help reduce landfill waste by repairing and re-purposing broken items,” he explained. “My hope is to eventually get sponsorship to take that even further around Waipa and the Waikato.” Spreading his recycling vision is an extension of what happens at the Repair Co-Op. For two hours on market days, Geoff and his volunteers help locals fix their broken household items. The objective, he explained, isn’t for them to drop their items and run; the idea is for them to stay, tap into the expertise at hand and learn how to repair and re-use. It was after seeing the Hamilton Repair Co-Op in action that he started the Cambridge Co-Op a year ago in Meraki Workspace in Cambridge’s Victoria St, with the rule of thumb being that people can bring whatever broken items they can carry up the stairs, then have a go at fixing it themselves, with help if needed. “We must get away from this throwaway approach in society,” he said. “Earlier generations learned to extend the life of their household items, and with the support of our volunteers, we can do that too.” They have already helped people repair kettles, lamps, toasters, piano keyboards, stereos, printers, baby monitors, torn clothing and more. “Repairing is a process of discovery, learning how products are put together … using critical thinking and creativity to find a solution.” Geoff is self-taught across most of his skillsets and wants to pass on that love of learning. “The only tertiary qualifications I have are in jazz piano and carpentry,” he explained. “My real work over the past 20 years has been in the IT industry, more specifically as a web developer.” Several years ago, a request for tutoring turned into an opportunity that saw him start TechLeap, a network of tech clubs where youngsters aged 10 to 16 collaborate and learn across a range of tech areas – coding, game development, virtual and augmented reality, electronics and robotics, web development, 3D modelling and animation and more. He now runs two weekly after-school TechLeap clubs in Hamilton, one in Te Awamutu and one at Cambridge Primary School.
More lifesavers signed up
Cambridge Vets has had more owners bring in their cats or dogs to sign up as emergency blood donors. A Cambridge News article on February 15 highlighted the story of former champion greyhound Disco, owned by Jenny Bartlett, helping to save the life of another dog by giving blood. Veterinary services usually use a blood bank in Palmerston North for blood transfusions, but in emergency situations they refer to locally based, pre-tested animals who can get there sooner. In our March 1 issue we announced that two more greyhounds and two Labradors had signed up as donors with Cambridge Vets, and since then even more pets have been brought in for the cause. Zac, a four-year-old Labrador owned by Carrie and Grant Eady, is now signed up for the service. His owners said they’re glad to think that they can help other animals if needed. Two cats are also now on call – Rico, a 3-year-old Norwegian forest cat, and Mittens, a 4-year-old black domestic short hair. Signing up for the service is free, owners simply bring in their cat or dog, the vet team conduct a full health check and take a blood sample for testing, and keep their contact details on file for future reference.

Collaboration helps Chinese bridge students By Eunice Eccles, Cambridge Bridge Club
Six students, without English as their first language, graduated from bridge lessons at Cambridge Bridge Club on Friday last week. These are the first students to emerge from a collaboration between the Cambridge Bridge Club and English Language Partners (ELP). ELP rural manager Ellena Butcher was present at the graduation ceremony. “It’s an incredible achievement for them,” she said. “I am amazed at how well they have all done.” Club tutor Jane Stearns added, “Bridge is a challenging game to learn when you speak English as your first language. To learn bridge with English as a second language is amazing. I am incredibly proud of my students and hope they are very proud of their achievement.” The students’ entry to the club has come after 14 weeks of studying the game, only two weeks
longer than a native English speaker’s course. Graduate Alex Wang said, “We call it ‘edutainment’ because we are learning but it is also so much fun.” Alex spoke of the group’s gratitude to the club members who have made them so welcome at their Friday morning session. All six are originally from Beijing but have made their home here in Cambridge. The project has brought many benefits for the club too, including learning more about Chinese culture, tolerance, patience and breaking down the communication barriers. Free bridge lessons begin at the Cambridge Bridge Club on Tuesday evenings at 7pm. Come along next Tuesday and tutor Kim will be happy to welcome you. For more details phone 021 464 006 or 07 827 9028 or email kimgrounds1@ gmail.com.
MORTGAGE MATTERS
Why use a Mortgage Broker? By Gavin Lynch – Yes Mortgages In the present loan market, most lenders are changing their criteria in regards to what, how much and to whom they lend. This makes it even more important to use a mortgage broker so you know you are getting the right mortgage and right lender to suit your needs. I believe every client has a unique borrowing scenario and time needs to be taken with the client to understand and analyse this, so a correct lending plan and structure can be put in place to achieve goals. In this column, I want to explain briefly the role of the mortgage broker and what I can offer. The key role of the mortgage broker is to make the whole loan process easier for you, the client. This is possible because: I can look at all the lending options. I deal with more than 25 different lenders and work to find the best lender to suit your unique situation. • I can do all the ‘leg work’ with the lenders. • This saves you time and avoids pitfalls in getting a loan approved. • I can negotiate rates, fees, and legal contributions with certain lenders to obtain the best deal for the client. • I can meet at a convenient time and place for the client. • This can be in the home or workplace and after hours if need be. • I can advise on the best loan structure to suit the client’s need. And best of all using a broker is a free service in most cases. Now that has to be worth thinking about! If your looking for a mortgage, please give me a call and I can help you though the whole process.

CAMBRIDGE AUTUMN FESTIVAL
Pecha Kucha sure to entertain
Pecha Kucha will return to Cambridge next week as part of the Cambridge Autumn Festival. The event on Thursday, March 28 will be an evening of fast-paced live presentations at the Bridges Church auditorium on Duke Street. The concept of Pecha Kucha is an artistic phenomenon that started in Tokyo in 2003, and now takes place in 1100 cities around the world. It gives presenters the chance to share their work or ideas within a six-minute time slot. From a Japanese term meaning “chit chat”, a Pecha Kucha event generally includes 10 speakers, each of them presenting 20 slides which automatically change every 20 seconds. Speakers share personal stories, educate, inform and entertain, whilst audience members get to learn about a range of interesting topics at a fast pace. Steve Tritt brought Pecha Kucha to Hamilton in 2008, with a team running four events a year in the city. Now in its third year at the Cambridge Autumn Festival, Pecha Kucha has attracted a strong following in Cambridge. Long-time Pecha Kucha aficionado Dr Richard Swainson introduces each speaker in a not so serious way and keeps the evening rolling in hilarious style. The Pecha Kucha night starts at 7.30pm on March 30 with doors opening at 7pm. Tickets are available at Paper Plus Cambridge, at www.eventfinda.co.nz or $15 cash at the door.
Calling on potential rugby refs

So far this year one new female has joined the student referees returning for the 2019 season. The organisation hopes to see more people sign up for the volunteering position, which is open to all ages. “The season commences shortly and we are still seeking more referees to support us, mainly in the junior grades on a Saturday morning at Memorial and Tom Voyle Park,” a representative of the club said recently. “So come on parents, caregivers, students, get involved, keep fit and most of all help us keep our rugby players in the game. Full training will be given as well as a support referee to give on field guidance. The referees meet each Monday evening to discuss and learn the rules of the game, positional play, player management, assessing and managing injuries and replacements, and of course to enjoy the camaraderie and social interaction with fellow referees. The organisation recently held their AGM, where Rupert Friend was announced as the new president and Gareth Cogan named as secretary. To find out more about joining the Cambridge Rugby Referees Association, phone John Gould on 0274 871279, email contact@cambridgerefs.co.nz or visit the Waikato Rugby Referees Association website: www.mooloo.co.nz/ Community-Rugby/Referees/Referees.

Partnership gives youth time with horses
A partnership between The Water Boy and the St Peter’s equestrian centre is working wonders for a group of local young people, allowing them to spend time with horses and people

their own age. The Waterboy, a local charity which supports youth into sport despite barriers such as money, disabilities or confidence, teamed up with St Peters to establish the programme here in Cambridge. Held once a fortnight at the St Peter’s Equestrian Centre, it gives several children aged 11 - 16 the chance to spend time with horses and possibly spark their interest in the horse industry. The partnership has only been running for a short time but The Waterboy founder, Thomas Nabbs, said it’s already a big success. “Often our kids have challenging home lives. This programme offers them an escape; a chance to realise that life isn’t always as tough as they have it and that life won’t always be that way,” he said. “We use sport and activities as a vehicle for these disadvantaged kids to learn mental and physical skills, interpersonal skills, selfpurpose and drive, and respect for themselves and others. Being with the horses, they also learn compassion for animals and may start to think of careers they would like to have, such as blacksmithing or vet nursing,” said Thomas. St Peter’s Director of Equestrian Peter Hammond said the programme was just as beneficial for the school’s students too. “It gives our students the opportunity to help people in the community,” he said.
Later this year, the students will also raise money for The Waterboy. “Because they are actively working with this charity they will be able to see the tangible results that their fundraising and efforts create,” said Peter. Cambridge’s Martin Watson and his wife Karin are also heavily involved with the programme. Friends with both Thomas and Peter, he was the link between them, bringing the idea to life. He also brings his own horses to the sessions for children to work with. “I’ve seen enormous benefits already,” said Martin. “These children get to work with a big animal that has a completely different mind. They create relationships with them and gain a sense of empathy.”

Cambridge RDA amongst best of community groups for this and generations to come,” said Chief Judge Cameron Bennett. Cambridge RDA said they were very appreciative of the nomination, and felt encouraged to work even harder for the community in helping the riders reach their goals. Cambridge RDA member Clive Garrish said things had been going very well for the organisation, which is based behind the Gaslight Theatre off the corner of Hall and Alpha Streets. “This year has started with a bang,” said Clive. “Our new Friday class is proving to be popular with our more advanced riders. They’re able to ride independently and will continue to learn new skills – maybe even some jumping!” Water tanks at the facility, which help keep the dusty ground wet, had started to run dry, and the lack of rain meant that some paddocks were starting to dry up. But luckily the encroaching Autumn weather has helped to fill these. Clive welcomed any volunteers, businesses or organisations which may be able to help in this instance in the future. “We are very fortunate to have a core of local sponsors to whom we are greatly indebted for all their efforts,” he said. “As always, we welcome new volunteers to join in at any of our four riding days during the school term, as well as help from anyone who may have skills in building, planning, landscaping, DIY or carpentry skills - and a little time to give to our cause.” Those who can lend a hand are encouraged to email: cambridge@rda.org.nz.

This lovely specimen in Herman Street was once on the Protected Tree list but has recently been delisted. Schinus molle is native to southern and western parts of South America, the dry regions of the Andes. In really hot, dry positions in sandy or stony soil it will be no more than a large bush, but on dry river beds where underground water is available it may grow to 15 metres in height, with a delicate weeping crown similar to this Leamington tree. It tolerates both salinity and alkalinity, and near the equator is found at altitudes up to 3900 metres. It was traditionally used by the Inca people for textile dyeing and for embalming the dead, and also as a source of food. The essential oils in the leaves were used as a peppery spice in baking and candy, and the pink seeds were, and still are, often used as a pepper substitute. The ripe berries were used to make a drink, or mixed with maize to make a thick gruel. Even before the Inca, the Chicha people fermented the berries to
make an alcoholic liquor, now called capaloclea. The tree also has a long medicinal history as a source of anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-depressant medicines. The bark, with diuretic and astringent properties, was used to treat diarrhoea, inflammation and tumours, and when heated the gum from the

Triathletes excel What Now is next for Sam at regionals By Sophie Iremonger
A team of 14 Cambridge triathletes tested themselves at the Waikato Bay of Plenty Secondary Schools Individual Triathlon held at Karapiro on Friday last week, seven returning with podium finishes. St Peter’s students Courtney Elliott and Charli Miller won gold in the under 16 and under 19 girls divisions respectively, and fellow students Alex Brackenbury and Will Taylor were first and second in the under 16 boys division. James Corbett blitzed the under 19 boys’ field to earn gold, extending his position during the run leg. Another St Peter’s boy, Matt Raath finished with silver. Fellow student Manaia Elliott placed third in the under-14 age group after a dominating the swim leg, finishing near the front of the mixed field. Their performances put the triathletes on good footing heading towards the New Zealand Secondary Schools Triathlon Champs at New Plymouth March 29-30.

Sam Webb is living the dream after signing up as a junior reporter for the popular television programme What Now. The 12-year-old Cambridge resident, a sports and rugby fanatic, has already completed one report for the morning children’s show, from the 2019 Halberg Awards on February 21. “It was amazing to see all these famous people dressed up, most of them legends, seeing them cruise on down the red carpet with their friends, it was pretty cool.” It’s a job Sam hopes to pursue as a career – television sports reporting that is, and his one-year contract with What Now as a “kid tuber” has certainly put him on the right track. The opportunity was sparked by Sam’s first appearance in the media in 2017, when the Lions rugby team was touring the country. As a life-long Chiefs fan, he put together a team line up he thought could best do the job, and phoned the Chiefs headquarters about it. “I had in mind that we were going to be missing all our All Blacks for the Lions tour, so I put together a Chiefs team a few months before,” Sam explained. “I spent a good amount of time on it, left a message with the Chiefs, and they rang me back!” Sam was invited to tour of the Chiefs headquarters and meet the Chiefs players – a dream in itself, and while there he was asked to read out the official team line up to the media. “That was pretty cool,” Sam recalled. Now he’s gone from briefing the media to being the media himself, with plans to cover the Rugby World Cup in Japan this year for What Now. “It’s really exciting,” he said. The Year 8 Southwell School student said he couldn’t name a favourite Chiefs player, because he loves the whole team. “One guy may be a great player, but they can’t play the game without the rest of the team. You need them all.” Highlights from his night at the Halberg Awards were most definitely meeting all the big names in the New Zealand sporting industry, including Richie McCaw, Stacey

Watkins, Sonia Waddell, Lisa Carrington, and “the giant” as Sam described him, Tom Walsh. “They were all just amazing to meet,” said Sam. “And that’s the best part, is that I get to have more amazing experiences like that. I’m so stoked.” In terms of his future career, Sam said the dream job would be to play rugby itself, and secondly to report on it. Up next Sam will be reporting on the National Dragon Boat Racing at Karapiro, April 5-6.

Local Venue Facilities Reds win double
The right kind of venue is critical to the success of any show, expo, wedding, corporate, cultural or sports event, or a private party. From the very heart of town to the shores of Lake Karapiro, and the countryside, Cambridge provides some beautiful event settings. Each venue has its unique attributes and there is great diversity to choose from, including iconic venues with character to world-class facilities. All reflect Cambridge in their own special way. Decide on your budget, estimated event size, and space requirements, then work with planners to ensure your event goes off with a bang.
Cambridge Raceway going hire
Cambridge Raceway has fantastic spaces available to accommodate events of various sizes and styles. And you don’t have to travel far to enjoy them as their Taylor Street location is right in the heart of Cambridge. With six rooms to choose from, the function centre delivers diverse event solutions as well as catering options. Versatile venue and event management means there is space for 10 – 500 people plus ample parking, which is a real bonus. From board meetings to trade fairs, Cambridge Raceway has the space to make your next function or event a winning one. “Our team works hard to provide amazing experiences,” says Shannon Bint-Popplewell. “We’re available for AGMs, Christmas parties, school balls, weddings, awards evenings, and any manner of celebration or meeting.” The team pride themselves on the quality of their venue, the level of service and professional catering. They’re a passionate team of experienced event experts who understand that every conference, function or wedding is different. They are on hand to help clients through the event coordination process and work with them to ensure their event is a success. Cambridge Raceway offers daily delegate packages and specialises in team building services. Tailored team building activities get everyone working together, create corporate fun days and achieve excellent results for clients. The centre is fully licensed, has great bar facilities and is dedicated to continual improvement. This week Cambridge Raceway launched a new branch to its business with a service hiring out furniture and props. The user-friendly hire service allows clients to book directly online at www. cambridgeraceway.co.nz. The range of event hire furniture is suited to larger events, particularly the wedding industry. “It made sense to create a hire business as we have a lot of great furniture from events that is underutilised,” says Shannon. “Our products make up the ‘nuts and bolts’ of any big event.” Seating, tables, hanging lights and ornamental pieces are among the items for hire, along with fun activities such as croquet sets. “Hiring your own gear is costeffective and gives you the opportunity to customise your wedding or event,” Shannon says. Although proudly steeped in local history, Cambridge Raceway is innovative and forward-thinking. From humble beginnings as a trotting club nearly a century ago, it has evolved into a multi-purpose entertainment venue with an event hire business now added to its bow.
header against TA By Josh Easby Cambridge won both their pre-season football fixtures in a double header against neighbours Te Awamutu. The Reds won the first team match 6-1 at John Kerkhof Park after the reserves had taken out the early game 4-2 against the Te Awamutu second-string side. Both wins were important steps in the Reds’ preparation for the Northern League season which gets underway on March 30. The reserves soon went two goals down in the midday sun but came back strongly, with James Cakebread scoring a hat-trick against Te Awamutu’s Loaded WaiBOP Championship squad. The fourth Cambridge goal was inspired by Toby Hartley whose excellent run and cross caused problems for the visitors’ defence, leading to an own goal.
The main game was more weighted in Cambridge’s favour with five players getting on the scoresheet. Callum MacLeod found the net twice in the 6-1 victory and other goalscorers were Josh Clarkin, Patrick Woodlock, newcomer Riley Higgs and Bradley Rea. The Te Awamutu first team will play in this season’s Loaded WaiBOP Premiership. This weekend, Cambridge travel to Tauranga City United for their last round of pre-season friendlies. Meanwhile, the Cambridge women’s team beat a Te Awamutu squad 13-2 in their preseason friendly recently. In all the games, players wore black armbands and observed a minute’s silence before kick off as a show of respect for the victims of the mass shooting in Christchurch the day before.
Members of the Cambridge and Te Awamutu reserves teams bow their heads to respect the victims of the mass shooting in Christchurch.
Rowers earn 20 medals St Peter’s School’s 77-strong team of rowers proved their worth at the 2019 North Island Secondary School Championships at Lake Karapiro over March 9 and 10 – winning the Derbyshire Shield for overall champion school with 61 points. They beat the notoriously talented Hamilton Boys High School which finished second with 52 points. St Peter’s School rowing coach Janey Wackrow described the event as “fantastic” after the school brought home eight gold, six silver and three bronze medals. Beckie Leigh and Jason Nel were the stars of the show winning the under 18 girls and under 18 boys single scull finals. Beckie went on to win the double scull event with Terri Wyatt, and Jason secured gold again with the under 18 boys coxed four.
The St Peter’s team has positive hopes heading into the secondary school national champs at Karapiro later this month, known as Maadi Cup, being defending champions of the Levin Jubilee Cup. Around 1900 rowers from high schools around the North Island raced in the three-day event over the weekend. The Cambridge High rowing team finished up the competition with three bronze medals, earned by Cullen Aveyard and TJ Udy in the boys under 16 double, by Brea Mcdonald and Elle-Mai Wright in the girls U16 double, and the school’s U18 novice coxed four rowed by Brylee Deacon, Mya Tohia, Hannah Rickit and Isabel Oxenham, with cox Penny Wallis. Maadi Cup kicks of at Lake Karapiro on March 25.

Mushrooms mmm… Although the first seasonal mushrooms are pushing up through the soil in the field next door I’m thinking dried mushrooms after enjoying some of the best fungi dishes ever — some with a mixture of fresh and dried mushrooms for awesome flavour. Most dried porcini mushrooms originate from Italy where they are considered a gourmet treat. Their intense nutty flavour is popular in soups, sauces, meat dishes and on pizzas. Fresh porcini are sometimes found in New Zealand pine forests where they share a symbiotic relationship with the tree roots. Dried shiitake mushrooms also have powerful flavour and have been a mainstay of Asian cooking for centuries. Both dried varieties are readily available from Asian grocery stores, delis and most supermarkets. Soak them in hot water for about 30 minutes before use. Squeeze dry and chop — and use the flavoursome soaking water in the same recipe if possible. Fresh shiitake mushrooms are also available in supermarkets. Their dark brown, meaty caps can withstand long cooking in casseroles or stews. Add a couple to any dish of common mushrooms and note the flavour difference. Occasionally fresh enoki mushrooms make it to the market. Popular in Japanese cooking, enoki have minute caps and long whitish stems. Sauté gently for about 1 minute and float in clear soups. Or garnish meats and seafood; or use raw in salads.
LINGUINE WITH PORCINI
ROASTED MUSHROOMS WITH ORECCHIETTE
With dried mushrooms in the pantry, there’s always an exotic meal available. Scrumptious! 1/2 cup dried porcini 1 cup hot water 300g linguine 3 tablespoons olive oil 2 each: shallots, garlic cloves, diced 2 cups cream few small sprigs thyme, chopped salt and black pepper to taste Soak the porcini in the hot water for 30 minutes to soften. Strain, reserving the liquid. Squeeze the porcini dry, then finely chop. Cook the linguine according to the packet instructions. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan on medium. Add the shallots and cook, stirring until softened. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds then add the mushrooms and cook for 1-2 minutes. Pour in the reserved mushroom liquid and simmer until almost evaporated. Add the cream, thyme and seasonings. Simmer until thickened. Drain the linguine and add to the mushrooms, tossing well to coat. Serve in bowls. Great garnished with chopped parsley and grated parmesan cheese. Serves 4.
POLENTA WITH MUSHROOMS Fresh shiitake add oomph to this dish. 300g mixed fresh mushrooms eg: Portobello, white button, fresh shiitake, brown 3 tablespoons olive oil flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste 2 teaspoons fresh chopped rosemary leaves 125g orecchiette or similar 1/2 cup cream 3/4 cup each: ricotta cheese, grated mozzarella 1 clove garlic, crushed 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese Preheat the oven to 220°C on fan-bake. Cut the mushrooms into 1cm-thick slices Place in a roasting pan and toss together with the oil, salt, pepper and rosemary. Roast for about 10 minutes — stirring once or twice — until golden and a little crisp around the edges. Meanwhile, cook the orecchiette according to the packet instructions until al dente. Drain and cool a little In a large bowl combine the cream, ricotta, mozzarella, garlic and parmesan. Mix well then add the mushrooms and pasta. Pour into a 25cm x 16cm baking dish. Cook on fan-bake for 15 minutes until hot and browned on top. Serves 2-4.

Four national titles for family at track champs Around 220 riders from around New Zealand were at the Avantidrome over March 8 - 10 to contest age group titles during the four-day National Age Group Track Championships. Cambridge teenager Jack Carswell secured a new national record on the final day of competition, racing in the under 17 team sprint with Hamish Coltman and Zakk Patterson, before teaming up with Patterson again to take the title in the under-17 Madison. The 16-year-old rode a smart points race too, earning maximum points from three of four sprints to hold off a fast finishing Kaio Lart for his third national title on day three.

Jet skiers rip across Karapiro Jet skiers from around the country raced across Lake Karapiro over the weekend during the 2019 New Zealand Jet Sport Nationals. Ranging in age from 10 to 60 years old, the 50 competitors raced across a range of divisions and classes during the event, hosted by the Hawkes Bay Jet Sport Club (HBJSC). “We the HBJSC committee are feeling weary but chuffed at how well the weekend went, we couldn’t have done it without our amazing competitors and their supporters,” a
spokesperson said. Texas native Dawn Dawson, a sports broadcaster and former world champion jet ski racer, flew over to MC the event throughout the weekend. Cambridge’s own Robert Ferguson had intended to race in the event, but wound up in hospital with a few broken bones instead, following a motocross accident the previous weekend. He was due to have knee reconstruction surgery this week.

A crowd-pleaser down to its bones, it’s based on the incredible true story of British underdog-turned-WWEsuperstar, Paige (a.k.a. Saraya-Jade Bevis). Brother and sister Zak and Saraya dream of making it big in the unique world of professional wrestling. But as the dream becomes reality, it also threatens to tear their family apart. “A feel-good flick, an absolute knockout that puts your heart in a headlock.”, “You'll want to stand up and cheer when Paige triumphs in this winning family wrestling dramedy”, “Wit, heart, energy and good cheer to make it a fun watch”, “Overall, it was a fun time and I can give a hearty recommendation even if you don't care for wrestling”.
A homegrown biographical musical-drama film directed by David Stubbs and starring Rose McIver and George Mason. Based on the award-winning New Zealand stage play inspired by a true story, the film follows an indie musician who is told by her father on his death bed, about her parents’ bittersweet romance. Leaving her dying father’s bedside, singer Maisie rushes to perform at an indie music gig in town. But as she sings the opening song, it is hard for her to ignore the heartfelt story she has just been told, the story of how her dad met and fell in love with her mother and how it all devastatingly fell apart. As the night goes on, the love story of her father, Eric and her mother, Rose, is shown through Maisie's eyes. From the time they meet in Hamilton in 1966 to their separation in the 1980s, we follow the couple’s life, expressed with contemporary re-imaginings of the iconic New Zealand hit songs of artists such as Crowded House, Bic Runga and Dave Dobbyn.

“Very good indeed, an engrossing story with a bit of dark humour and poetic justice in the mix. Liam Neeson at his very best.” Allan.

Paddlers heading for world stage
FRIDAY MARCH 22, 2019
The New Zealand men’s kayak squad during one of their recent morning training sessions on Lake Karapiro.
By Sophie Iremonger Performance on the water for members of the NZ men’s kayak squad has improved tenfold since the canoe racing team moved to Cambridge at the start of last year. Now with their training base at Karapiro the canoe racers have managed qualification for the under 23 world championships and the upcoming world cups. It’s especially significant for Max Brown and Kurtis Imrie, the two oldest of the bunch. Their performances at Nationals last month, followed by a successful trial run, has resulted in a spot for each of them in the two-man K2 boat, representing New Zealand at the Canoe Racing World Cup I in Poland in late May, and the Canoe Racing World Cup II in Germany in early June. It’s the opportunity of a lifetime for the 23-year olds. If all
goes well, they could qualify for the following Canoe Race World Championships in Hungary, and from there on to Olympic success at Tokyo next year. “We were really happy, we won every race that was involved in the trials. But more importantly, we’re really starting to move the boat together as a unit, that team work is super important to us,” said Max, who now works as a music tutor at Cambridge East School. “It’s the carrot I’ve been chasing for the past few years. It’s a very small step in the pathway, but every goal that you tick off is rewarding. The chance to put on the black singlet is a true privilege and we’re very grateful for the opportunity. I feel like we deserve to be there, it’s our time to show what we’ve got.” After a year and three months as Cambridge residents, the guys consider themselves to be “from Cambridge”.
“I tell people that I’m from Cambridge now, it feels like home,” said Ashton Reiser, who won the men’s K1 200m title at nationals last month and earned a spot in the New Zealand K4 boat heading to the under 23 world championships. Squad member Ben Duffy also qualified with the K4 crew, along with and two recent additions to the NZ Men’s Kayak squad, Zach Ferkins and Hamish Legarth. After leaving New Zealand on April 15, the team will spend time in Paris training on the canoe racing course for the 2024 Olympics. From there Max and Kurtis will travel to Poznan, Poland for the first world cup event from May 23 to 26, then straight on to Duisburg, Germany for world cup number two, May 31 to June 2. The under 23 crew will compete at their world champs over August 1 – 4 in Ritesti, Romania.
