Ramraid five times too many

By Sophie Iremonger

A dispute over responsibility for retail security in Cambridge has left a shop front destroyed and a landlord arguing with the Waipa District Council.

Stirling Sports Cambridge was once again ramraided on Sunday morning, the fifth time since August 2016, and members of Cambridge’s business community are fed up.

For all your clock, watch & barometer repairs

Stirling Sports has been a regular target for raStirling Sports has been a regular target for ram raids since it opened in July 2016 – being rammed a month after opening, and again in March 2017, October 2017, September 2018 and now this month.

The latest hit at 4.15am Sunday, involving a stolen car, has left a teenager facing charges and Stirling Sports franchise owner Sarah Nicholl facing the prospect of doing business without a shop front for 10 weeks, and possibly closing down.

It is a problem which would be removed if bollards were erected outside the shop – but the issue is who should pay for them. Ironically, the insurance excess for the work is $15,000 - $3000 more than the cost of installing bollards and chains.

Cambridge’s professional community have rallied behind Nicholl. “It’s about five times too many ram raids, and it’s about the public holding Council responsible,” Kelly Bouzaid, Cambridge Chamber of Commerce chief executive, said on Tuesday this week.

“Council is spending, as I see it, a significant amount of time and money getting people to come into Cambridge, but we’re not looking after our own. We want a vibrant, sustainable community, but we’ve got a very visible problem here, and we need action.”

Efforts have been made between Nicholl and her landlords with Council over the last three years to have chain link bollards put along the garden side of the pavement outside the 47b Victoria St address – the same as the other three corners of the Victoria-Duke Street roundabout. These efforts were not successful.

Council’s roading corridor manager Brian Hudson told Nicholl she would have to cover the cost. It had not been budgeted for and there Continued on page 2

Ramraid five times too many was no reason to make the investment other than to provide additional security to the store, Hudson said. Other bollards near the roundabout were used to frame seating areas and direct pedestrians to crossing points, he said.

In addition to the store’s security cameras, alarms and grill, Hudson recommended installing a security bar, which Nicholl and landlords Bernice and Peter Sherry did.

But after the fourth ramraid in September last year, at the October meeting of the Cambridge Community Board, Nicholl recalled Council agreeing that bollards would be installed – but nothing came of it. Minutes from the meeting did not detail whether bollards were agreed to.

Waipa District Mayor Jim

Mylchreest was not aware of such an agreement. He met with the landlords, Nicholl and Bouzaid on Wednesday this week, telling them he was completely supportive of any business in town, but had a statutory obligation around the spend of ratepayers’ money for personal benefit.

He has stated his intent to support a resolution, and is currently looking at having boulders put in the garden outside the store as an immediate fix. He’s also working with Council to install another ramraid deterrent that could serve as a community asset too, such as a sturdy bike rack.

Kelly Bouzaid said the meeting was constructive, but time was of the essence for Council action.

Bouzaid said she would continue to phone the council each week for an update.

Nicholl said on Tuesday she blamed herself for not getting the bollards put in herself, but her landlords disagree, saying it should have been Council’s responsibility to install them much sooner.

“We don’t want to lose retail in this down,” Bernice Sherry said. “There’s more to it than this (Stirling Sports being ramraided) – it’s about protecting our town.

We’ve been let down.”

Nicholl said it was too soon to make any decisions for the future or the store.

The landlords asked if Stirling Sports packed up and left, without a preventative measure in front of the store, who would want to move in?

The latest burglary took just over four minutes, the driver taking five blows at the window and ripping the security bar from its concrete foundations. Nicholl was unsure of the total value of what had been taken.

Council confirmed CCTV cameras would be operating in the central business district by mid-year.

Cambridge Community Board (CCB) member Philip Coles said the board would include a request for more bollards in the central business district as part of their submission to Council’s annual plan next week. He said bollards not only kept businesses safe, but pedestrians too.

The CCB will discuss bollards when they meet next Wednesday at the council offices on Wilson St. Members of the public can speak during the public forum of the beginning of the meeting, starting at 6pm.

Street View has returned in this week's issue to give Cambridge residents the chance to share their thoughts and sentiments following the Christchurch terror attacks.

A quiet crowd gathered outside the town hall on Friday to mark one week since the Christchurch terror attacks.

Remembering Christchurch

By Sophie Iremonger

The Cambridge Community Board wants to plant a commemorative tree to mark the Christchurch shootings of March 15.

About 100 people bowed their heads outside the Cambridge Town Hall last Friday to mark a week since the shootings in Al Noor and Linwood mosques.

“I think it’s changed New Zealand forever, but we’ve got to stand together as a nation to make ourselves stronger and learn,” Philip Coles, Cambridge Community Board, said at the gathering.

He said the board was looking at planting a tree to commemorate the Christchurch terror attacks, in a similar fashion to the planting of a tree near the town hall after the 9/11 attacks in the United States in 2001.

Friday’s Cambridge gathering surrounded the collection of flowers and messages left for the Christchurch victims and joined the nation in observing two minutes silence at 1.32pm.

Philip Coles said the flowers left near the cenotaph would eventually be turned into compost and used to fertilize the tree. He expected decisions to be made at next week’s community board meeting.

Schools around Cambridge took a moment to mark the

FDANZ

one-week anniversary.

At St Peter’s School, the chapel bells tolled 50 times, once for each victim, and at Cambridge High School students staged a mufti day for Cashmere High School in Christchurch.

Cambridge Middle School students also went mufti and performed a haka. Some also wrote meesages of hope.

Some primary schools in Cambridge held a colourful mufti day too – colour providing a stark contrast to the dark events which took place, and raised money for the Christchurch City Council and the Mayoral Fund.

Neighbours Day is here This week is the annual Neighbours Day Aotearoa. Now into its 10th year, the national campaign brings neighbours together each March. The 2019 initiative began on March 22 and continues through to Sunday, March 31.

Neighbourhood Support Cambridge (NSC) is encouraging neighbourhood support groups to mark the occasion in whatever way they choose. NSC community engagement officer Hannah Glover said some groups hold street parties or neighbourhood BBQs. “The idea is to get people together for a few hours of fun and neighbourliness. It’s a great way

to strengthen relationships and meet people who may be new to the area.”

Hannah started at Neighbourhood Support Cambridge last May, around the same time they shifted into the Fort Street property now renamed Grantham House in honour of the late Cambridge police sergeant Gordon Grantham. The organisation is overseen by the Cambridge Safer Community Trust, established by the Cambridge Community Board and police nearly 13 years ago as a not-for-profit group aimed at making the town and its surrounds safer.

Look out for one another

“We’re going really well right now,” Hannah said “There are 172 groups listed, including private homes, schools, resthomes and commercial businesses in the CBD. With more people moving into town there is always an opportunity for new groups to join.”

Some groups include just part of one street, while others include four streets. To view the full list and see which group you could join, or to look at forming a group of your own, contact Hannah Glover on info@safercambridge.co.nz or phone 07 827 6172.

By Hannah Glover, Neighbourhood Support Cambridge (abridged)

Neighbourhood Support Cambridge is not just about keeping an eye out for crime, in the broader sense, it is about the old-fashioned values of looking out for and connecting with your neighbours for the benefit of each other and the surrounding community.

In light of the tragic Christchurch disaster, your neighbours and community become more important than ever in the support that can be given to one another. This support can be shown through making a meal, offering help with watching children for an hour, or by simply showing compassion. If neighbours are connected, they are quickly able to react to circumstances that just don’t feel right and support.

In Cambridge, we are seeing real successes in the links between Neighbourhood Support, Community Patrol and Police.

Members of Neighbourhood Support groups are passing on information to the coordinator, who is then able to ask the Community Patrol to spend some time patrolling that particular area, which has led onto findings of unwanted people in the area by Police.

Why are your neighbours so important in an emergency? More and more research is showing that communities who recover best from natural disasters are those that have good social networks.

One of our very proactive group leaders here in Cambridge explained last week how everyone in their Neighbourhood Support group knows who in the group has: a pool (to supply water/aid putting fires out), a BBQ (to share resources) and a bike, to enable someone in the group to get to the Civil Defence Centre and update the group on events.

By knowing your neighbours, you are able to make sure everyone is looked after, especially those who might need extra help and also to recover faster with less chaos or duplication of effort.

‘Neighbours Day Aotearoa’ is running for 10 days from March 22nd - March 31st. We are encouraging the Cambridge community to take a moment and do something that Cambridge Community Patrol volunteers Allison Vince makes your neighbour smile and appreciate and Neil Bridgland enjoying a coffee at the Hautapu Z the road/street they live in. station during a cold night of community patrol.

SUn & MON

Community Patrol needs you This Neighbours Day, why not consider getting involved in your community through the Cambridge Community Patrol – which needs more volunteers.

The 33 volunteers currently on the books ride around Cambridge regularly in a signwritten ute bearing spotlights, hi-vis vests and a police radio.

Patrols are mostly done at night, serving as ‘additional sets of eyes and ears’ for Police. But as with many organisations, a handful of volunteers end up doing the most work. “We could do with a few more,” said Neil Bridgland, a Cambridge Safer Communities trustee, who coordinates the patrol’s activities. “Those coming forward are police-vetted and trained before they join the patrols, then it’s usually only for a few hours a month.”

Neil also gave a nod to Cambridge Rotary Club, who have sponsored the dashcam used in the patrol ute. “It has proved very useful in getting videos and pictures of incidents.”

High fives for Avantidrome

By Viv Posselt

Within five years of its official opening by Britain’s Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on April 12, 2014, the Avantidrome has become a jewel in Waipa’s crown and one of New Zealand’s most expansive success stories.

Community engagement has farsurpassed expectations; 80 percent of ontrack use is by community or recreational riders. Cambridge locals and others from further afield have racked up more than 100,000 community rides, covering around 1.5 million kilometres – that’s an astounding ‘to the moon and back’, twice.

School programmes have topped 25,000 rides covering 375,000 km, and trike rider numbers have grown from an initial 40 to 5700 last year.

And in terms of elite cycling, the Avantidrome has easily met its brief. Way back in 2010 when the story began, the stated intent was for the facility to become a worldclass velodrome aimed at enhancing the development of high-performance sport in New Zealand and providing access to worldclass training and competition facilities.

Since then, the Avantidrome has hosted a raft of national, regional and international championships - among them two UCI Track World Cups, one World Master’s Games, and one Oceania Track Championships – and is increasingly becoming the preferred training venue for several international elite cycling teams, including from Canada, Switzerland, the United States and Hong Kong.

The facility has established itself as a successful events venue, hosting private

and public functions and holding regular corporate gatherings. As these benefits flow increasingly into the community and across Cambridge, the word ‘unique’ is voiced by Home of Cycling (HOC) general manager Scott Gemmill.

“I am ridiculously proud,” he said.

“This facility is a fantastic case study of the interface of elite sport and the community.

In many ways, it is unique; there aren’t many velodromes around that ‘joe public’ can access in this way. It was unproven at the start, even scary, but a team of brave individuals took it forward, and look at where we are now.”

Scott described community use of the Avantidrome as the biggest take-out from the past five years.

“Community use has become our lifeblood,” he said. “At the sharp end, we have elite teams training and competing here, and at the community end, we have increasing numbers enjoying the many outreach programmes we offer. There can be no doubt that between the two, this facility has played a role in the growth and maturing of Cambridge as a town and Waipa as a region.”

The multimillion-dollar Avantidrome was completed in February 2014, just 21 months after building started. Scott, who became HOC general manager eight months ago and has a background in management and customer strategies, was already involved well before its completion, both as a longtime cycling enthusiast and as part of the initial Programs and Competition Working Group.

He puts the Avantidrome’s success down to exemplary teamwork and a rare sense

of collegiality that makes everyone feel like they are part of a family. The rapid growth in numbers using the facility brings additional challenges for the future, he said, and there is a constant focus on trying to fit ever-increasing demand into finite resources.

“Much as I might like to, I can’t take

credit for making the Avantidrome what it is today. It’s been a 100 percent team effort by everyone involved,” he said. “It’s like a partnership between us and the community.

We stretched the canvas on the frame and the people who cared about this place have created the masterpiece.”

Aaron’s the wheel deal…

One of the biggest growth areas seen at the Avantidrome has been its Community Trikes Programme, overseen by Aaron Ure – pictured with Scott Gemmill (right). Forty riders were involved soon after the facility opened; last year 5700 trike riders aged 12 to 94 signed up. The trikers range from those wanting a safer riding environment to many others recovering from illness or living a disability. They thrive on the social contact with fellow riders and the two additional coaches who have joined Aaron – “Mr Trikes” - to run the programme. Aaron says the number on the programme as a result of referrals is rising, and many go on to succeed at regional and national events. “When people get encouragement in one area of their life, it is amazing how much that positively influences other areas of their life,” he says.

Reading with Ruby has special benefits

By Viv Posselt Reading has become one of the ‘cooler’ things to do at St Peter’s Catholic School since a delightful former student and Ruby the miniature schnauzer joined the reading programme run by literacy support teacher Heidi OsbornDunn.

The former student is 24-year-old Tayla Missen, who has Down Syndrome. A St Peter’s school pupil from the age of five, Tayla returned last year to join the school’s adult-support reading programme and now comes in twice weekly to listen to the younger children read.

“I love being around the little kids. A few of them have

Ruby listens carefully while Zarah Sharma reads to her.

difficulty reading, so I help them with the words,” she said.

“I sometimes also help with their handwriting and maths.”

Tayla leads a full life when not at St Peter’s. She graduated from Cambridge High School with merit and excellence in office and computers, and is a youth leader with St John. She also enjoys and mentors hip hop dancing, does stocktake for a clothing outlet, does scrapbooking and cooking, and babysits her niece. As a great advocate for others with Down Syndrome, Tayla noted that March 21 was International Down Syndrome Day, and said it was important to raise awareness around the condition. “I wanted to come back to St Peter’s and help them because I love it here. They did such a lot for me.”

Another star attraction in Heidi’s programme is Ruby, a mild-mannered rescue dog who is part of Danielle Schaad’s family. Once a week for the past year, Danielle has brought Ruby in for ‘Reading to Ruby’ remedial reading sessions.

“She just sits quietly next to them as the children read; I’m there just to help with the words when needed. But because Ruby’s there and it’s done in a very non-judgemental way, the children are more relaxed about their reading,” said Danielle.

“International research has shown that having children read to dogs has many benefits. It is a more relaxing environment for them ... it’s less intimidating than reading to adults.”

She said both Christchurch and Auckland city libraries offered Reading to Dogs programmes.

Describing herself as a “passionate volunteer”, Danielle has also helped special needs adults with their reading and said using Ruby helps lift reading levels across the age spectrum. “It’s such a simple principle, but it works.”

Heidi said several St Peter’s pupils had made significant strides in their reading since Ruby had come on board. The little dog has become a popular drawcard card in more general terms. “We’re finding that children who don’t necessarily need the remedial reading also want to come and read to Ruby.”

The programme is further enhanced by voluntary hours provided by about eight adult support helpers, many of them contacted through the neighbouring St Peter’s Catholic

Church.

“They come in for about an hour a week to listen to the children doing their reading, one-on-one,” said Heidi.

“We’re finding them a great help – and everybody involved seems to really enjoy that special time.”

Partial night closure for bridge

Regular maintenance checks of gas networks will mean temporary disruption on Cambridge’s high-level bridge next week.

At the same time, Council will also do some routine bridge maintenance.

From April 1 – April 6, the bridge will be reduced to a single lane from between 7pm at night to 5am in the morning.

There will be no lane closures during the day.

At least one footpath will always remain open for cyclists and pedestrians.

The partial closure is necessary in order to keep crews working around the bridge safe.

Cambridge Autumn Festival all-go

The Cambridge Autumn Festival is in full swing this week.

Activities started on Friday with the Cambridge Can Dance event inside the Cambridge Town Hall, followed by the Main Street Carnival on Sunday where hundreds if not thousands of people flocked to town to enjoy the market and carnival activities on offer, including live dance, a choir and street performers.

But Monday was when the festival was officially launched at a special sponsors evening where winners of the short story and Cambridge tree photo competitions were announced.

Runner up Renee Boyer was on hand to receive her prize in the short story competition, and winner Jess MacKenzie was

absent. This year’s competition theme “It started with a joke” saw excellent examples of fast-paced writing produced.

The winner of the “Find the Cambridge Tree Photo” competition was Dot Harding, for her photo of a magnificent yellow tree in Autumn – the iconic large tree outside the Cambrian Hotel on Hamilton Rd. “Every year I think, I have to take a photo of this tree, and I’m glad I did,” Dot said.

The competition, new to the festival this year, attracted 65 entries.

All sorts of cool activities and events have been taking place this week as part of the Cambridge Autumn Festival, which wraps up on Sunday, March 31. The full programme of events is available at cambridgeautumnfestival.co.nz.

Dot Harding receives her winning photo on canvas print from festival organiser David McCathie after being announced as winner of the Find the Cambridge Tree Photo competition, sponsored by Lesley Ann Thomas from People in Mind (left).

Balloons a hit The Balloons Visit Waipa event held at Victoria Square on Friday night was a resounding success with hundreds of people, including many young families, turning out to enjoy the occasion.

Live music played, gourmet food was enjoyed and kids had fun taking on the bouncy castle obstacle courses, in addition to the three hot air balloons operating on site. A balloon was also inflated on its side, allowing people to walk through and see the inside.

The Darth Vader balloon wasn’t able to make an appearance, but it’s safe to say locals still enjoyed a good night out at the square on Friday.

Abigail and Travis Bell enjoy the wonders of the walk-in hot air balloon.

Two bouncy castle obstacle courses were a big draw card for youngsters.

BUSINESS SHOWCASE

Riverside Dental Care

old business in new building Riverside Dental Care is a long-standing practice with a recent rebrand and new custom-built premises. Having spent 22 years as a dentist in Cambridge, Dr Barbara Cater is a household name in local dentistry. She started her own business, Duke Street Dental Care, in 2003 and has a strong client base. A need to expand and improve the facilities saw the practice move to brand spanking new premises at 1/47 Wilson Street, next to The Warehouse. “We were restricted at our former site,” explains Dr Cater. “What we have now is a ground level, very user-friendly clinic with plenty of on-site parking. It's a lovely premises.”

Patients are enjoying the bigger, brighter building, which is particularly suited to people with mobility issues. They can drive up to the double door entrance and mobility scooter users can drive right to the surgery door.

Oral health therapist Jacqui Jowsey works with her patient to achieve and maintain optimum oral health, aided by chairside assistant Ashi Manuka.

Dr Cater is an extremely experienced dentist sought for her expertise, high level of care and compassion. She is a multi-generational practitioner, covering the whole range of dental needs from newborn to end of life. She has a special affinity with the elderly, believing they deserve quality care. “Dental needs change over time. What is required early in life is very different to problems that occur in later years,” says Dr Cater. “There are lots more factors to take into account as people age and develop illnesses.”

The practice has a high staff retention rate and welltrained support staff. The team take pride in providing quality dentistry in a professional, relaxed and friendly atmosphere. They have warm ties to the Cambridge community and a great rapport with patients. Otago University graduate, Dr Maia Ackerman, comes from a Waikato family and lives locally with her young family.

She has been with the practice since 2011. Long-serving oral health therapist, Jacqui Jowsey, joined the team in 2005. Chairside assistant, Mandy Rance, has been with the practice since it first opened and Diana Atkins, also a chairside assistant, came on board in 2007.

The past year has seen two new dental assistants, Ashi Manuka and Alice Taylor, join the team and contribute their keen can-do attitudes and infectious smiles.

Nicki Torcetti in reception is the first face patients see when they step through the door. The face and voice of the business since 2013, Nicki's compassionate, friendly nature puts people at their ease. Barbara’s son Mike stepped in to help his mother in 2016. His role as practice manager allows Barbara to focus solely on dentistry. “Our working dynamic is such that I can be cheeky and have a laugh with the team, my mum and also the patients,” says Mike. “It creates a great atmosphere and tends to allay

Mobility boost Firefighter’s five decades A new scheme in Waipā will be a fillip for people with mobility challenges.

Total Mobility is a national door-to-door transport scheme involving disability agencies, taxi companies and transport providers and local government.

It’s designed to provide people with mobility challenges access to the community.

People living in Cambridge, Barbara Tane Te Awamutu, Ōhaupo, Pirongia and other areas in the Waipā district can be eligible for subsidised taxi and door-to-door transport with Total Mobility providers.

The scheme has been provided in Hamilton for about six years and Life Unlimited, who provide it there, will also provide it in Waipā. Life Unlimited’s Barbara Tane said the scheme has made a significant difference to lives in Hamilton and she expected it would also be welcomed in Waipā.

“One lady said she’s been given her life back and she’s not a prisoner in her own home anymore.”

The programme will be rolled out on May 1 and the district and regional councils are encouraging people to register for it.

“Total Mobility could be a great solution for many people who have a condition that stops them from getting around on their own,” said Waikato Regional Council’s public transport manager, Andrew Wilson. “The scheme already operates successfully in Hamilton, Tokoroa and Taupō, and we’ve worked closely with Waipā District Council to bring it to those in need in the district,” he said.

Waipā councillors have supported the new service by providing a budget in the district’s 10-Year Plan.

Once a Waipā resident has registered their interest, someone from Waikato Regional Council will be in touch to set up an appointment for an eligibility assessment.

Under the scheme, Waipā District Council and NZ Transport Agency will pay half the fare – up to a $12.50 subsidy per trip, and the user pays the remainder.

To find out more and to register online, visit www.waipadc. govt.nz/totalmobility.

officially recognised Chief Fire Officer Don Gerrand was officially recognised for his service to Cambridge on Saturday night with a special medal presentation marking his 50 years of service with the Cambridge Volunteer Fire Brigade.

The Cambridge Fire Chief of 25 years clocked the five-decade milestone on November 3 last year, but a tedious process to make the medal meant that the presentation could finally be made on March 23, during a special ceremony at the Town Hall.

Waipa Mayor Jim Mylchreest, local MP Louise Upston and Fire service personnel spoke about Don’s fantastic achievements to date, which all started when he first reported for duty on November 3, 1968.

Back then, his father in law H L “Bush” Hooker was the deputy chief fire officer, who himself clocked up 48 years in the brigade.

Things have changed a bit since then, the brigade shifting from council control to the New Zealand Fire Service in 1975, and again

in 2017 to form Fire and Emergency New Zealand.

Don’s son Richie followed in his footsteps, now with 28 years in the brigade himself.

With call outs rising from an average of 45 per year when he started to around 360 a year now, it’s safe to

say Cambridge population has grown a fair bit during Don’s career.

He’s seen a lot over the years, including some truly heart-breaking things, but what stands out in his mind is the camaraderie from the other brigade members. “It’s

an old cliché, but it is family,” he said.

Don’s wife Jocelyn shares the same view, having been born into the brigade. “It’s been a breeze with her support,” Don said, “she’s been a massive supporter of the brigade.”

Don Gerrand receives the medal to recognise his 50 years of service to the Cambridge Volunteer Fire Brigade.

Dr Michael Carr-Gregg: Parents need to say no In this day and age parents tend to sugar coat life for their children, but it is important for them to experience adversity as young people in order to strengthen their resilience. This was a key message from Dr Michael Carr-Gregg during his visit to St Peter’s on March 15, where the leading Australian psychologist gave an exclusive wellbeing presentation on “How to build happy and resilient young people”.

The broadcaster and 11-time author used humour as a way to get his message across to parents about how they can enhance their children’s wellbeing – namely to remember that it’s not their job to be their child’s friend, but it is important to be an expert on them.

“A lot of kids these days are lacking in Vitamin N – ‘no’. We need to get stronger at saying no, and once we have explained why to them, we don’t need to explain it over and over again,” he said. “We need to set limits and boundaries for things we deem important.”

The only thing that could predict success is not money or beauty, but wellbeing and having a good repertoire of friends, Carr-Gregg said. “They need a sense of us-ness.

They need to feel safe, loved and listened to. But they also need to experience adversity, we can’t shield them from everything. We have a tendency to sugar coat life,” he said.

One important thing to establish for children is a tradition or routine, Carr-Gregg explained, suggesting parents consider a tradition from their childhood household they could pass on. He recommended downloading the app “Three Good Things” as a good place to start, as it encourages young people every day to list three positive things that happened that day.

It is also important to communicate properly, Carr-Gregg said, describing the two amygdala on each side of the human brain which are responsible for emotions, survival, instincts and memory – which aren’t fully developed in teenagers, but are in adults.

“This means that yelling at them can just turn into a yell fest. It’s more reasonable to say, ‘I can see that upsets you, can we talk about it later’,” he said, “It’s hard when we are tired, grumpy and had a long day, but the more we do that the more they take on board.”

Dr Carr-Gregg also said it was extremely important for students at school to have the opportunity to meet people with similar interests, take healthy risks and be themselves. He cited one Australian school which banned cartwheels and summersaults for health and safety reasons, and another which banned best friends in case the friendship ended and upset the kids.

Another school told teachers not to mark in red pen because it was too confronting.

“It’s what I call ‘wussification’ of an entire generation,” he said. “We need to build a robust fence at the end of the cliff. They need to face things and overcome them to be strong in the face of adversity.”

So what do students need to be

resilient? According to Dr Michael Carr-Gregg there are five essential pillars: A charismatic adult, social and emotional competence, positive self-talk, spark, and spirituality – this doesn’t necessarily mean religion, but connectedness.

The charismatic adult doesn’t need to be family – it can be anyone they draw strength from.

These adults lead by example, allowing young people to see how their chosen person manages anger, solves problems and makes Australian psychologist and author Dr decisions.

Michael Carr-Gregg.

Busy month for genealogists

By Nancy Cooke, convenor, Cambridge Genealogy

Family researchers from the local genealogy group have had a busy and interesting time during March. Overseas specialists in Scottish research who are visiting New Zealand have interested some members.

The main speaker also focused on Scotland. Cambridge resident, Rosalie Nicholson, described her discovery of family records and her subsequent research which traced a Scottish school teacher and his family to New Zealand.

The branch also facilitated a well-attended course introducing attendees to the important principles of family history research. A DNA support group is planned for the near future. Information about Cambridge Genealogy is available from Nancy, 8277359, or Stella, 827 5036.

Cambridge win bridge derby

By Eunice Eccles, Cambridge Bridge Club

Cambridge Bridge Club competed against the Te Awamutu Bridge Club for the Fairlands Shield recently – a derby prize donated by Fairland’s Orchard in Cambridge over thirty years ago.

Hosted by the Te Awamutu Bridge Club, twenty-six Cambridge Bridge Club members enjoyed a fabulous afternoon of competitive bridge, dressed up in green to celebrate St Patrick’s Day. After twenty-six boards, in a closely fought match and with the luck of the Irish, Cambridge scraped a win by 660 points to 640. It was a fitting finish for Cambridge to take home the trophy in the 30th annual competition, after Te Awamutu won 19 times to Cambridge’s 11 in the past three decades.

After receiving the trophy the Cambridge players enjoyed a delicious afternoon tea of homemade delicacies brought in and prepared by the Te Awamutu members, including complimentary wine.

Congratulations to the Cambridge pair, Di Emms and Jane Stearns who took first place and to all the Te Awamutu novices

Nick Cantlon presenting the Fairlands Shield to Clare Coles, captain of the Cambridge Bridge Club

who played magnificently for their club. Our thanks also to Nick Cantlon, who directed and scored, making the afternoon a pleasant and successful experience for everyone.

Thank you, Te Awamutu, everyone had a wonderful time!

Initiative encouraging safety checks by young drivers

Two thirds of New Zealand’s young drivers aged 25 and under are guilty of not undertaking any regular checks on their car - either leaving it to someone else or relying on a warning light to alert them to any safety issue.

In an effort to better arm young people with the capabilities and know-how, Driver Safety New Zealand has teamed up with Supercheap Auto Cambridge to drive Check

It, an initiative that raises awareness amongst younger drivers around the importance of undertaking regular vehicle safety checks.

Launched New Zealand-wide late last month, Check It will offer free in-store training at Supercheap Auto Cambridge on the national day of action, Saturday 30 March.

Through the program, young drivers can also access ongoing tutorials available online at www.supercheapauto.co.nz/checkit.

BUSINESS SHOWCASE

Webb & Wood Accountants in down-town Cambridge A local accounting practice that supports growing their clients' businesses has itself expanded. Webb & Wood Accountants has relocated from Shakespeare Street to new premises at 13 Anzac Street where staff are enjoying the heart-of-town location.

The firm, which started out as a one-man band at home, boasts a 30-year plus history in Cambridge.

Rollo Webb, with the support of Mike Wood, is the driving force behind the practice. His accounting knowledge and larger than life personality form the bedrock of the firm. Clients value his friendly, approachable attitude as much as his professional expertise.

Rollo first operated on his own from home. A receptionist was added, then an accountant, and his wife Sue came on board as a business administrator.

Fast forward to the present day to a successful practice where accountant Mike Wood is a partner, and the firm employs two part-time accountants and three admin staff. The practice is structured to allow Rollo more time on business advisory. He has the tools, know-how and passion to develop businesses to their full potential. And best of all, he speaks a language that clients can understand and makes himself available to them.

Rollo started working life in the agricultural business and has a great affinity with the farming and horse industry sectors.

Mike Wood emigrated from England 10 years ago, where he previously worked in a large accounting practise. Mike has an affinity with small to medium sized businesses plus an in-depth knowledge of the English tax system.

With local knowledge and expertise they continue to provide value for money to clients and help

businesses and farmers understand the importance of cost/benefit to their ventures.

Warm trusting relationships have developed as a result of the firm's longevity in Cambridge. “We know our clients well and have good personal relationships with them,” says Rollo. Successful accounting is not simply about number crunching. It's about helping

clients achieve their business goals and partnering with them to attain best possible outcomes.

Webb & Wood Accountants is a people practice, with a philosophy to be open and accessible to all its clients. “Our door is always open to discuss your accountancy and tax and business growth needs,” says Rollo.

Family fun at Group brings Scottish dance to festival community garden Submitted by Cambridge Scottish Country Dancing

By Alison Hucke, coordinator, Cambridge Community Garden

The day dawned bright and sunny but the expected crowds did not come – too much on in town. We did have over 100 folk visit the garden and enjoy the activities we had prepared.

Bubble blowing and face painting were favourites with the children whilst parents enjoyed learning about the worm farm, buying jams, chutneys etc from our sales table, raffles were popular as were the sausages, hot drinks, pikelets and cold drinks.

The orchard, raised gardens and other beds were commented on favourably by all visitors and several folk offered to come and help when they learned how we distributed our produce to those in need and to those who had no gardens.

As a whole, our community garden was well received and folk had a great day out. If you would like to learn more, contact Alison on 021 138 3341.

Cambridge Scottish Country Dancing put on a spirited and lively display at the Cambridge Can Dance evening held inside the Cambridge Town Hall last Friday as part of the Cambridge Autumn Festival.

Scottish Country Dancing’s ‘Young Demonstration Team’, along with dancers from the Cambridge, Lochiel and Hamilton Scottish clubs, displayed reels, jigs and strathspeys to the Gaelic music of fiddles, accordions, keyboards and bagpipes.

And at Sunday’s Main Street Carnival, Victoria Street was again alive with the sound and sight of Scottish music and dancers.

The audience – many of whom were dancers themselves – enthusiastically joined in for the last dance, with the bold patterns of 1950’s rock and roll costumes flashing alongside the bright colours of the Indian dancers and the tartans of the Scottish skirts, sashes and kilts.

Scottish Country Dancing’s ‘Young Demonstration Team’ danced in the Cambridge Autumn Festival’s Cambridge Can Dance event and during the main Street Carnival.

Free face painting was on offer for families during the open day.

Water restrictions around much of the Waipa and Waikato districts were lifted this week.

Water restrictions in Te Awamutu and Pirongia, which were at Water Alert Level 1, have been lifted.

Water restrictions in most of the Waikato district have been lifted, excluding those communities

who receive water supply from Hamilton, who remain on Water Alert Level 2 – this includes Tauwhare, Gordonton and Matangi residents.

Cambridge did not have water restrictions this year, thanks to improvements to the local water treatment plant and the conservative effect of water meters.

Gordon Devereaux, played by Hamilton’s Owen Moonie, his ‘wife’ Helen, played by Cambridge’s Jan Cowie, and ‘grandson’ Gordie, played by Cambridge’s Hamilton Kay.

Set in the UK and Canada, Closure concerns Donald Barlow, a man who learns late in life that his father was a visiting Canadian pilot during World War II. Investigation shows the old man (Gordon Devereaux) is still alive, but refuses any attempt at contact.

Donald’s journalist daughter Claire flies to Canada to try to meet and interview Devereaux without revealing her connection. She takes her son Gordie with her and a unique bond develops between the old man and the boy, his great-grandson.

Things come unstuck, though, just as Donald flies in to join them and any hope of a reconciliation or closure seems to evaporate. I won’t tell you the rest.

all the way and explores some pretty interesting territory. It is demanding stuff which needs careful direction and confident actors.

Director John Kelleher’s cast largely meets the challenge. Owen Moody has a huge journey as Devereaux and mostly does a solid job. His wise wife Helen, Jan Cowie, is sure-footed and a perfect foil to his crustiness.

While I thought David Lumsden as Donald was a little stiff and ponderous, I saw a dress rehearsal, where there were a few ‘moments’. As the season plays out, I am sure he will come to find Donald’s rhythm.

Amanda Hema, as Claire, provides some touching moments of real sincerity. So does Marianne Kay, playing her mother. Then as Gordie, Hamilton Kay proved he has confidence to spare, and a nice presence on stage.

I must also mention Clive Lamdin’s natural and very neat portrayal of Dutch investigator Paul Hoogstra.

The set is simple, with only small changes necessary to convey locations. There is a screen in the back wall which shows different exteriors, but for me it wasn’t an effective device and I would have been happy for it not to be there.

Closure is a touching and thoughtful story which any keen theatre-goer should enjoy and appreciate. It is on stage at Gaslight Theatre until April 6.

Greek fundraiser a huge success

A dozen St Peter’s girls put on a Greek-themed auction and quiz night at St Peter’s School earlier this month, part of a large fundraising effort to get the school’s senior girl’s basketball team off to Greece for the ISF World School Championships April 13 – 19.

The night was a massive success, raising over $20,000 towards the trip to Greece – a much needed boost for the team which will need 6.7 thousand dollars per player to take part in the competition.

The team’s captain Charlisse Leger-Walker said the cost to take part was “pretty expensive” but “so worth it”.

It’s the second opportunity the team has had to attend the two-yearly competition, after winning nationals in 2016.

“Last time it was really late notice when we were invited to attend, and it was so expensive to go, we just didn’t have enough time to fundraise.”

The team’s coach Leanne Walker, Charlisse’s mum and

a former Tall Ferns captain, said the invite to the world champs was an amazing opportunity that they just couldn’t turn down this time.

“It’s an opportunity not just to put St Peter’s on the world map, but New Zealand,” she said.

The team won last year’s nationals by an incredible margin, winning all of their games by at least 30 points.

They wished to thank everyone who donated auction items, and the 180 people who attended the evening on March 2.

The girls said they hope to do the country proud as the first female team from New Zealand at the competition.

“We already work together so well. I think after the build up, once we get there, we’ll be pretty set to go. When the time comes, we’ll be prepared,” Charlisse said.

The girls are now training hard for the world competition, and will get the chance to apply their skills on the court this

weekend at the National Secondary School 3x3 Basketball tournament, where they’ll be defending their title.

They also have a special game coming up next week against a visiting Japanese team. The game on Tuesday, April 2 at the St Peter’s School Robb Sports Centre will kick off at 5pm. Entry is free and the public are encouraged to head along.

Reds set for new Northern League season

Cambridge Football Club’s Reds team are ready for their 2019 Northern League season after completing their pre-season campaign with a double header at Tauranga City United.

The Reds headed over the Kaimai Ranges for their last friendly matches on Saturday, keen for a hard workout against a club that plays a division higher in the Lotto NRFL. Tauranga took the lead 19 minutes into the game between the clubs’ reserves squads but Cambridge levelled five minutes into the second spell when Juan Alvarez beat the ‘keeper after receiving a well-placed through

ball from Johnny Sanchez.

The 1-1 draw means the Reds reserves finish their pre-season schedule with four wins and that draw.

Meanwhile, spectators saw seven goals in a free-flowing match between the clubs’ first teams. Tauranga won the encounter 5-2.

Cambridge’s goals came from Callum MacLeod and Fabian Munoz.

The Reds start their competition season this Saturday, March 30, with first team and reserves games at Drury, south of Auckland, against Franklin United.

Cambridge’s other senior men’s and women’s teams begin their competitions a week later, April 6/7.

FRIDAY MARCH 29, 2019

Success on track and field The team of athletes from St Peter’s School which earned a record number of qualifications into the Waikato Bay of Plenty Secondary School Track and Field Championships have proven their success at the zonal competition was no fluke.

The 39 young athletes that qualified for the regional competition – held on Saturday at Porritt Stadium in Hamilton – earned a total of 27 medals, as well as 24 new personal-best records.

Annalies Kalma was the star of the show, breaking a 19-year record in the 200m sprint originally held by Monique Williams.

Williams was the first New Zealand female sprinter to win gold at a major world

championship event, winning the 200m sprint at the 2009 World University Games.

Annalies backed that up with another stellar performance in the 400m final, winning gold just outside the record by 2/100 of a second.

“Very proud of our athletes, how they executed their race plans, showed humbleness, resilience and sportsmanship,” said Ange Russek, the school’s athletics coach.

The team is now looking forward to competing in the North Island Secondary Schools Track and Field Championships over April 6 - 7 in Tauranga.

The school’s senior students spent two days learning to sail Lake Karapiro.

Karapiro School principal Tina-Maree Thatcher and deputy principal Anne Mackey reviewed the school’s education outside the classroom opportunities (EOTC) recently, resulting in a desire to “go local” and give students the chance to use the nearby Lake Karapiro.

“We share our name with the lake and we have this beautiful taonga right across the road. By the time our students leave us at the end of Year 6 we want them to feel a strong connection with the lake as well as the people who use it,” said Tina-Maree.

Partnering with Volvo Sailing and Project Energise the school was able to set up a two-day experience where senior students learned to sail and cycle around the lake.

Senior students will now do this each year as part of EOTC, along with their school surf camp and ski camp on alternate years.

Maadi Cup on now

Over two thousand teenage athletes are racing across Lake Karapiro this week in the national secondary schools rowing championships, more famously known as Maadi Cup. A record 131 schools totalling 2,166 rowers are entered in this year’s regatta, including Cambridge High School and St Peter’s School.

The St Peter’s School’s girls rowing eight will have the pressure of defending the Levin Jubilee Cup this year, after winning it for the first time in the school’s history last year.

Christ’s College won the Maadi Cup last year, contended each year by under 18 boys rowing eight crews.

The Maadi Cup dates back to World War II, won

by Kiwi troops rowing on the Nile, and the Levin Jubilee Cup was first raced in 1981 during the town’s 75th jubilee. Both hold equal prestige as the top titles to contend for at the annual event, hosted alternatively between Lake Karapiro and Lake Ruataniwha each year.

St Peter’s was the bestperforming school overall at last year’s event, racking up 52 points to claim the Star Trophy for the overall

champion school.

The school’s girls’ under 18 coxed four also won the Dawn Cup for the third time last year.

Cambridge High is aiming to better their performance this year. Sean Hale and Matt McHugh secured the school’s best achievement at last year’s event, earning silver in the under 17 boys double after narrowly missing out on gold just before the finish line. The school’s under 17 single sculler Seth Hope also earned bronze in his A final.

Racing kicked off on Monday this week with 142 races taking place between 8am and 5:24pm.

64 volunteers have kept the programme running smoothly, running the umpire and safety boats, coxswain weigh-in stations, a boat marshal hut, as well as manning the all-important finish tower and start pontoon.

A live webcast of finals will be available from today (Friday) and throughout the weekend via the Rowing NZ App and at maadi.co.nz.

The event’s programme is available to view at rowingnz.kiwi, maadi.co.nz and via the Rowing NZ App. Live results are available at rowit.nz.

How to Spot Mental Trauma and Anxiety

Coping with traumatic events Trauma is how the mind responds to mental injury. Mental trauma involves painful feelings and frightening thoughts invoked by witnessing or experiencing a traumatic event. A sudden illness, accident, natural disaster, or accident can cause upset and distress.

While most people process and deal with these feelings after a short time, others are unable to do so. They become unsettled by traumatic experiences to the point where professional help is needed.

The belief is that greater harm is done when a

person is more directly exposed to traumatic experiences, but second-hand exposure can also be traumatic. Extreme behaviour may result from traumatic-inducing events, with symptoms including sleep disturbance, withdrawal, detachment, hyper-vigilance, flashbacks, nightmares, and feelings of intense helplessness and fear.

Signs of hyperarousal symptoms manifest themselves in trauma victims. Being easily startled, tense, fretful, depressed, prone to angry outbursts or difficultly sleeping, suggests

hyperarousal disorder. If you, or a loved one, are struggling to cope, have symptoms that interfere with the activities of your daily life, are reluctant to go to school or work, visit a medical professional experienced with mental illnesses. Helping someone in trauma takes time, patience, and understanding.

A range of mental health resources and services is available, including phone, online services and information, and face to face support. Most services are free, and provide information and confidential advice from trained professionals.

that haven’t even happened and may never occur. Although we can't control everything that happens in our life, we can decide how we are going to deal with the unknown. Try and let go of fear and focus on gratitude. There will be situations where it is realistic to be worried. When anxiety is identified as being caused by a current problem, then taking action may be the answer to reducing your anxiety. You may feel a little more in control of a situation if you take a proactive approach.

Redirecting your focus can also relieve some of your anxiety. Exercise. Engage in an activity or hobby. Listen to music. Meditate. Reach out to others.

It's not unusual to experience some anxiety from time to time. It becomes problematic when it affects relationships, work performance and other areas of your life. Professional help and treatment options are available.

Dealing with anxiety

Feelings of worry, fear, and apprehension are all signs of anxiety, and when it comes to dealing with it, there is no one-size-fits-all solution.

However, there are some tips to help you cope if anxiety is having an overwhelming pull on your life.

Anxiety is typically experienced as worrying about a future or past event. Think about what makes you nervous. Try and clear your mind and bring your awareness back to the present. Stop and breathe. This can help restore a sense of personal balance. Breathing exercises and yoga are useful.

Can you get to the root of your anxiety? The physical symptoms of panic and anxiety, such as trembling, chest pain, and rapid heartbeat, are usually more apparent than understanding just what is making you anxious. Explore your thoughts and feelings. Talk things over with a friend or professional.

Many times anxiety stems from fearing things

Long-time relationship with Cambridge RDA Margaret Rippey's association with Cambridge Riding for the Disabled stretches back over three decades to when her daughter first started riding as an eight year old. Thirty-one years on and her daughter continues to derive benefits as a regular rider. Moreover, as a learning assistant at Cambridge East School, Margaret takes four special needs children to the RDA arena every Thursday for riding sessions. She gets a buzz from seeing the joy and excitement the children get from their riding experiences.

“They love going down there and getting on the horses,” she says. “They gain confidence and balance, and have been taught to sit up straight on their horses.”

Having been with Cambridge RDA from the outset, Margaret has seen big changes and development in the facilities. The “great big arena” is a far cry from the original tin shed and little paddock. She praises the work done by Cambridge RDA and sees first-hand the value that it offers to people with special needs.

Individual horse pens.

Cambridge RDA is one of 55 affiliated Riding for the Disabled groups located throughout every region of the country. All share the common aim of providing goal-based riding activities that increase the ability, independence and confidence of people with physical, intellectual, emotional and social challenges.

RDA's focus is to make a positive difference, reach more riders and change more lives.

These goals are hard won by a group of selfless volunteers prepared to give their time and energy to improving others people's lives.

Riding for the Disabled (RDA) was formally

introduced to New Zealand in 1962 by the then president of the New Zealand Pony Club Association, the Tom Atchison.

It originated in the Hawke's Bay where it came to life as a sub-group at the Pony Club in Waipukurau.

After retiring as president, Tom Atchison spent eight years travelling around the country and encouraging the formation of local RDA groups.

Formally established in 1972, New Zealand Riding for the Disabled Association has spread to every region up and down the country. Thousands of dedicated volunteers have been instrumental in its growth.

Horses as therapists Horses may be the strong silent type but they have the capacity to bond with people. The connection between human and horse has many benefits and proven positive outcomes, which makes them especially suited for working with special needs children and adults. Horses are social animals, perceptive to human emotions. Research shows just how beneficial equine therapy can be for human healing. Horses are beautiful, noble creatures that can be exceptionally accepting and forgiving in their interactions with humans.

NZ Riding for the Disabled understands the value horses play in the lives of those living with special needs. The not-for-profit organisation provides therapeutic interaction

All weather arena.

with horses in order to develop increased ability and self esteem for children and adults with physical, social, emotional and intellectual difficulties. “We use horses as our therapists,” says Cambridge Riding for the Disabled operations manager, Vanessa Donnelly.

“Our riding programs are designed to help develop and increase physical abilities, communication, concentration, social skills, confidence and self esteem.”

Riders are also provided with a sport and an opportunity for recreation in a supportive environment that is fun, exhilarating and different. Each class is tailored to the rider’s needs and goals.

Facilities for all for hire Cambridge Riding for the Disabled has been providing therapeutic riding services to the local community for over 25 years.

The organisation, based at 8 Alpha Street, Cambridge, is a member of New Zealand Riding for the Disabled (NZRDA).

The efforts of volunteers and supporters allowed Cambridge RDA to open a covered arena in March 2011. “It gives us an allweather, even surfaced area to hold our riding sessions,” says Cambridge Riding for the Disabled operations manager, Vanessa Donnelly. The arena is 20m x 60m, with another 5m covered area at the front and a sand and rubber base which provides

excellent footing for the horses.

A covered space at the side houses 10 individual horse pens plus a further building containing a tack room. A feed room, farm storage, kitchen arena and office are all part of the seperate club rooms building.

When not being used by RDA, the arena is available for private bookings. All funds raised go directly towards RDA’s riding programmes, horses, arena and grounds.

The venue is also ideal for clinics, workshops and competitions, and is used for overnight camping in conjunction with a multi-day arena booking. It lies on the edge of town, just two minutes from central Cambridge.

A little goes a long way

As a voluntary, not for profit organisation, Cambridge RDA relies on public generosity and expressions of philanthropy. The organisation provides therapeutic horse riding for people with disabilities to improve their physical, intellectual and emotional well-being.

Donations go towards training, horse care, feed and equipment as well as supporting and training a dedicated team of coaches and volunteers.

RDA Cambridge is a registered charity, so donations are tax deductible.

Volunteers needed

Cambridge RDA relies on the good nature of others to offer their time and skills to help out. The organisation runs almost entirely on voluntary services. A part-time operations

manager, Vanessa Donnelly, is employed to oversee all aspects of the running of programmes and horses. Recently secured funding has also enabled another part-timer,

Left to right: Bob Douglas, riding volunteer/handyman and Greg Gascoigne, farm manager

Maddy Stratford, to be employed in an equine assistant training role for 12 months while she studies for her NZQA Certificate in Equine Skills.

The role covers all aspects of the horses well-being including training, keeping records and monitoring all the horses' requirements.

Volunteering is multi-faceted in its importance to our society. It enriches society, brings us together as a community, and helps keep charitable, hard-working, altruistic organisations afloat. Volunteers are integral to communities, and the great thing about volunteering is that you can get back more than you put in.

As a mood enhancer, volunteering gets us out and about, widens our social networks, increases feelings of self-worth and give us a sense of accomplishment.

For those in the job market, volunteer work looks good on your resume. A history of volunteering demonstrates your commitment to the community and a willingness to work for the betterment of others.

At Cambridge RDA volunteers have the opportunity to grow individually alongside experienced helpers.

“Their is a lot of satisfaction to be had in volunteering and helping to enrich other people's lives,” says

CAMBRIDGE NEWS | 27

Vanessa Donnelly. “People who like working with horses really enjoy the environment here.”

RDA runs sessions every Tuesday, Thursday and Friday mornings, as well as their original Saturday sessions every second weekend.

However, they struggle to find volunteers to help at the weekend and are always needing regular committed volunteers. Between 60-70 riders attend sessions every week. There is also a waiting list but sadly not enough manpower to

accommodate them. Riders' ages range from 3-4 year olds to mature adults.

The organisation always welcomes like-minded, dedicated people to give a helping hand. No prior horse experience is necessary. A passion for helping people and being able to work as part of a team are the essential requirements. Volunteering at RDA is a great way to stay fit and get outdoors. Fitbit wearers can easily make it to 10,000 steps in a morning.

What can you do as a volunteer?

There are lots of different activities. Depending on your experience and preference you can • groom, tack up and warm up the horses before the riders arrive • lead and sidewalk the horses during riding sessions • help with unmounted activities • assist riders with their helmets and check riding clothing • help with morning tea and refreshments • help maintain the arena and grounds • fundraise • organise events and activities.

• help set up and then clean up after sessions.

Volunteers come from varied backgrounds, from little or no experience with horses, to owning their own and competing. As well as providing

What makes a good RDA horse From time to time RDA looks for a horse to fill a gap in their programme. This may be a bigger horse for adult or heavier riders or a pony for the littlies.

The organisation has a very comprehensive process for assessing and choosing a suitable RDA horse.

“A naturally good temperament is the most important thing,” says Vanessa Donnelly.

“We take care of any schooling required but we can’t change the temperament. With some very vulnerable children and adults riding the horses, it’s essential to have just the right one.”

Some horses can find RDA work very stressful. Not all are cut out for having some unbalanced riders on them, being handled

by different volunteers on any given day, or possibly having several people around walking with them while supporting a rider.

“We try our best to manage each horse’s needs with extra schooling or exercise, and we try to keep the horses work varied throughout the week.”

Temperament, size, gait, soundness, even age, are taken into consideration. There is a misconception that older horses are needed, but this is not the case.

“We generally follow up on all offers that appear to meet our initial criteria, so if you do think your horse may be suitable, please get in touch.”

As well as an initial assessment, horses undergo a trial period.

The Pett family has been involved in Cambridge RDA for the last 20 years. Twentyseven year old Will has been a rider since the age of four, and his mother Belinda Pett has worked as a volunteer in the past.

She commends RDA for providing the opportunity for people to ride horses in a safe environment. “The volunteers are an amazing group of people. They come from all walks of life, and are very dedicated. Some have been there for years and years. They have energy, enthusiasm and understanding of riders’ different needs.”

A passion for horses and a commitment to encouraging people to be active are their

major motivators. “RDA is able to offer people an activity they can grow with and have success with,” says Belinda, who sees two-fold benefits for riders, including physical and social gains.

On the physical side, riding enhances coordination, core strength and balance. It allows riders to get outdoors and challenge themselves. Having a covered arena is a great bonus as there are no closures over winter. But it is more than an activity, states Belinda. “RDA provides the opportunity for people, who are often marginalised, to belong to a community group and develop social skills. It gives them a place to belong outside of their usual circle.”

ongoing, on the job training, RDA also offers volunteer training courses covering skills from preparing the horses for riding, to sidewalking and assisting during riding sessions.

Training options are also available for volunteers over the age of 18 who wish to become a fully qualified RDA coach or assistant coach.

What is leading and sidewalking?

During a riding session, the leader's responsibility is to lead and look after the horse. Sidewalkers look after the rider, and make them feel safe, supported and encouraged.

When are the riding sessions?

Riding sessions are every Tuesday, Thursday

and Friday mornings from 9.30am 12.30pm, and every second Saturday during the school term from 8.30am – 12.30pm.

Volunteers start an hour before the session to groom, tack and warm up the horses.

How do I apply to volunteer?

The first step is to arrange a time to visit and observe a riding session. A coach and volunteer coordinator will be on hand to answer any questions. If there is still interest after your visit and observation, a police vetting process and a brief induction session follow. “This process is in place to protect the vulnerable children and adults we have at RDA,” says operations manager, Vanessa Donnelly.

RDA volunteers must be over the age of 14.

Vanessa Donnelly – operations manager

Cambridge Riding for the Disabled operations manager, Vanessa Donnelly, has always loved horses. She grew up on a large sheep farm in Tirau and has been around horses most of her life.

She lived in Auckland for nine years before moving back to the Waikato in 2003. “I wanted to get involved in a community group and Volunteer Waikato pointed me in the direction of Riding for the Disabled.”

Vanessa has been involved with the charity for 16 years, initially as a volunteer before being appointed operations manager in 2015.

“Volunteers come for the horses but stay for the people,” says Vanessa.

“There is a very supportive environment here. It’s non judgemental and calming. The interaction with people is very positive. Volunteers and riders both get a lot out of it.”

Over the years she’s had the privilege of seeing many riders progress with their riding and social skills through into adulthood. “One particular rider wasn’t able to walk unaided when she started but now there’s almost no holding her back. She runs towards the horse when it’s her turn to ride.” Being there from the start of their journey, Vanessa finds is very rewarding to see riders grow with confidence, socially as well as with their riding ability.

She’s seen many very significant changes during her 16 years. In the early days RDA sessions were held every second Saturday only, in a taped off area of a paddock. The horses were just tied to a rail and riding would be cancelled when it rained. Although Health and Safety was a priority, it was very relaxed compared to how RDA now operates.

These days the organisation has a purpose-built all-weather arena, individual horse pens, landscaped grounds, and post and rail entry into a gravel car park. There are club rooms with a kitchen, an office, a feed room, and a recently added larger tack room.

Horses are generally much younger and fitter now as more skills and expertise are available to work with younger animals. More riding days at varying levels are offered, right up to sport and recreation classes where the riders learn to trot, canter and jump. “And we’re still growing and improving thanks to the help of our community.”

Riders make junior NZ team, again

Two young Cambridge riders have been selected to represent New Zealand for the second time at the UCI Junior Track Cycling World Championships.

Current St Peter’s student Finn Fisher-Black and former St Peter’s student Ally Wollaston have both been selected to contest the five-day championships over August 14 – 18 in Germany.

New Zealand Sign Language (NZSL) New Zealand Sign Language (NZSL) BEGINNER CLASSES BEGINNER CLASSES for weeksininTerm Term 2, 2019 for 8 8 weeks 2, 2019

Finn Fisher-Black is hot off the back of record-victory at the Elite & U19 Track National Championships in Cambridge last month, where he won both the team pursuit and individual pursuit. He won gold in the team pursuit at last year’s UCI Junior Track Cycling World Champs.

Ally Wollaston won five titles at the national champs and won silver in the women’s quartet of last year’s junior world champs. She is once again riding with Christchurch’s Samantha Donnelly and Hamilton’s McKenzie Milne in the team this year.

The St Peter’s pair have been announced as part of a 12-strong team of endurance riders, coached by Tim Carswell, which will contest the five-day championships near the border of eastern Germany and Poland.

“Overall we have a strong group returning from last year who will be key leaders for the first-year juniors coming into this environment,” said Cycling New Zealand’s Graeme

Hunn.

“Both team pursuits have the potential to be medal contenders and obviously with the likes of Finn Fisher-Black as a current world record holder, and Ally Wollaston who won five titles at the recent national championships, we will have some outstanding individuals as well.”

New Zealand has a strong pedigree of success at the junior world championships, winning 70 per cent of their 79 medals won since 1976 in the last nine years. Cycling New Zealand credits their Performance Hub programme as a key part in the development of successful junior cyclists.

Swimmers on top at nationals

The St Peter’s Swimming Club had a fantastic week away in Dunedin recently, competing amongst 600 swimmers from throughout the country at the Division 2 Swimming Nationals.

The team of 10 swimmers all came away with personal best swims, improvement in rankings and several podium finishes.

Hunter Read got the ball rolling with a gold medal and a national age group qualifying time in the 200m backstroke, kickstarting his tremendous campaign with another gold in the 100m backstroke and silver in the 50m backstroke.

Sonya Price won gold in the 1500 freestyle race for 15-year-old girls and backed that up with bronze in the 800m freestyle – both personal best swims by a large margin.

Harvey Williams also made it to the podium with a bronze medal from the 15-year-old boys 100m backstroke race.

Amelia Funnell produced personal-best swims in all her races and won her first national medal in the 200m freestyle final.

Spencer Cleland made his first national final and finished in the top eight for both the 200m butterfly and 100 butterfly for 13-year-old boys.

Milana Tapper finished the meet with new personal best swim times and managed to climb up several ranking positions to finish in the top ten for the 800m and 400m freestyle races.

Issy Wilson delivered a beautiful performance with personal best swims across all her races, rising in the ranks of all her events in the popular 12 and 13-year-old girls category which had over 100 girls.

Isabelle Murray, competing in the national event for the first time, and picked up huge personal best swims in her events and improved her ranking in the 50m breaststroke

A team of 10 swimmers from the St Peter’s Swim Club has come away from the Division 2 Swimming Nationals with seven medals and a wealth of personal improvement.

from 40th to 14th.

Paige Steen had a successful meet with personal-bests in her longer freestyle and backstroke swims, finishing with top 10 rankings in five of her events.

Georgia Willats rounded out the team’s performances with great swims in her 1500m races for a personal best and a top five ranking for her age group.

Hautapu win over Fraser Tech

Premier The opening round of the Waikato Rugby premier grade got underway over the weekend. Hautapu hosted Fraser Tech in this opening exchange, and with a number of players away with rep teams it was going to test the depth of the squad early.

With the sun out, the heat was going to be a factor in the result of this match. Hautapu took an early lead with a penalty to Coby Milne, which quickly turned into 10-0 with a try to Mike Tomsett from a lineout drive, converted by Milne. Hautapu were next to score again, with some applied pressure on the Tech line and a clever wiper kick from Milne, collected by Kurt Heatherley.

Tech got their scoring underway on the 20-minute mark with a converted try. However the first half momentum was with Hautapu, who quickly responded from the re-start with a stray line out overthrow dropping into the hands of David Morris to dive over for a try. Half time score was 20-10.

Tech opened the scoring in the second spell from a break on half way for their winger to score in the corner. From here the match got niggly with plenty of feeling in the collisions and play ebbing and flowing. Hautapu put themselves under pressure with silly errors, going down to 13 at one stage.

With a further try to each the game remained close, however once Hautapu got back to a full complement they run in a further two tries to take this match 41-20.

You will enjoy organising and co-ordinating meetings, along with preparing agendas, minutes and correspondence that relates. You will be on hand to answer any governance queries from staff and elected members, with a can-do attitude and customer first delivery. Local government exposure and experience in meeting procedures, protocols, and the ability to provide pro-active advice is advantageous.

Ideally you will have a track record in meetings management, planning and skills that demonstrate an ability to maintain confidentiality, judgement and discretion.

Trampers loop walk at Waiotahi and Karaka Submitted by the Cambridge Tramping Club

On Sunday, March 17 fourteen trampers from the Cambridge Tramping Club set off on an interesting loop walk in the Coromandel Range, climbing approximately 600m above Thames township.

We set off meandering up the banks of the Waiotahi stream with plenty of Manuka trees, beehives and the odd mine shaft, reminding us of the region’s past. The track incline steepened, zig zagging up the hill crossing the stream a few times until it levelled off to an area with great views where morning tea was enjoyed.

The track continued upwards until we reached the

junction of the Karaka track where we turned right and started a welcome descent to Thames.

After about 40 minutes we came to a brilliant viewpoint amongst some really cool orange, yellow & purple rocks on an outcrop. The rocks themselves are awesome, and below we look down on the abyss of bush and then out to views of Table Mountain and the pinnacles in the distance.

We stopped here for a well-deserved lunch and met our three other trampers who had transported our cars to the end of the track.

Afterwards we made our way back into the bush and soon, in between trees, we had views of the Kaimai Ranges

and beyond.

The track was easy walking, slowly dropping down to the Karaka stream with many inviting water holes and interesting rock formations. There has been a lot of maintenance, with widening and now two bridges on the lower region of the track to avoid the sometimes difficult stream crossing.

A great day was had by all, finished by our usual ice cream stop.

The next Cambridge Tramping Club tramp is on Sunday, March 31 to Ngamuwahine, Kaimai Range. For more information contact June on 027 469 8431.

On a day at the beach, their young son Jason (Evan Alex) almost wanders off, causing his mother Adelaide (Lupita Nyong'o of Black Panther) to become protective of her family. That night, four mysterious people break into Adelaide's childhood home where they're staying. The family is shocked to find out that the intruders look like and talk like them, only with grotesque appearances. From Jordan Peele of Get Out fame.

Holt (Colin Farrell) was once a circus star, but he went off to war and when he returned it had terribly altered him. Circus owner Max Medici (Danny DeVito) hires him to take care of Dumbo, a newborn elephant whose oversized ears make him the laughing stock of the struggling circus troupe. But when Holt's children discover that Dumbo can fly, silvertongued entrepreneur V.A. Vandevere (Michael Keaton), and aerial artist Colette Marchant (Eva Green) swoop in to make the little elephant a star.
