Block put on ramraiders

Waipā District Mayor Jim Mylchreest (right) came up with the solution to install boulders outside Stirling Sports and has been applauded by Cambridge Business Chamber CEO Kelly Bouzaid (left).

By Sophie Iremonger

A solution to halt a string of ram raids at Stirling Sports in Cambridge was set in stone quite literally this week.

Two large rocks in the garden outside the store now provide a block to the path used five times by thieves to smash their way into the building using vehicles.

“It makes it harder for them doesn’t it?” Waipā mayor

Jim Mylchreest said on Wednesday after the boulders were put in place.

Mylchreest said he was hugely sympathetic towards the store owner and tenant Sarah Nicholl, whose plight was illustrated in last week’s Cambridge News.

A fifth ram raid prompted calls for bollards outside the shop, but there was no budget for it.

The Mayor said Council couldn’t spend rate payer

money on the private security of a single store by installing bollards – which would cost around $12,000 - but they wanted to do something.

So the mayor came up with a cheaper, quicker alternative.

“I was just thinking about something that could go in really quickly that wouldn’t require checking underground

What an amazing place Cambridge is! How can a little country town like us put on a show like the Festival? Carnival Day heaving with people, dance night packed, concerts sold out, and much, much more.

The trustees of the Autumn Festival give a terrific thank you to everyone who contributed whether as performers, stall holders, artists, spectators or volunteers and to our sponsors without whom these festivals would not be possible. We will thank them personally. And to the Cambridge News and The Breeze for their promotion and advertising support. And all the local retailers who joined in the fun.

It is pleasing to observe that over the years the Festival has been running (since 2007) there has been an increase in the number of ethnic groups who have become part of the Festival adding a colourful dimension to the event. The trustees see this as an important step forward.

It won’t be long before the trustees sit down to a debrief, then start planning for 2020.

See you there.

On behalf of the trustees of the Cambridge Autumn Festival, Alan Milton, Secretary

Stirling solution to store security Continued from page 1

services and that sort of thing,” he said.

“Let’s at least put big boulders in the way and work with the community, police and the Chamber of Commerce to find a better, long-term solution. They’re an amenity and they aren’t costing rate payers a lot of money.

Cambridge Business Chamber CEO Kelly Bouzaid applauded Mayor Jim and the council for being so swift in their response.

“Hopefully it gives Sarah (Nicholl, store owner) good reason to feel both supported and encouraged to stay, and that the insurance company feels there’s enough support there to continue business as usual,” she said.

Nicholl said she was grateful for Council’s response and everyone’s concern and support following the fifth ramraid of the store on March 24. She said it was still too early to confirm the store’s long-term future.

Nicholl had previously put other security measures in place at the store, including a steel bar, but that was ripped from its concrete foundations during the last ramraid.

Mylchreest addressed concerns over other corners of the roundabout outside the store having bollards in place, noting: “The reality is that bollards used elsewhere on Victoria St are not designed to withstand ramraids; that’s not their purpose and in fact for safety reasons they are designed to collapse upon impact.”

The district council is planning to install CCTV cameras in Cambridge and Te Awamutu in the next few weeks.

Stirling Sports isn’t the only store to be burgled in Cambridge recently. Steen and Morrow Betta Electrical Cambridge was also burgled early last month. Thieves broke through a roller door and two other doors to get into the shop and take electrical items.

One arrest has been made so far following the latest Stirling Sports ram-raid and police are looking for two other people.

Kelly Bouzaid hoped to work with a school or Cambridge artist to have a mural painted on the temporary wooden wall outside Stirling Sports, which will be there for another two months.

Anyone interested in getting involved can contact Kelly through the Cambridge Business Chamber, 07 823 3460.

Georgia’s wild about Bill

By Sophie Iremonger

Georgia Bouzaid loves her “cheeky little pony”, an eight-year-old Kaimanawa pony which lived in the wild up until the 2014 Kaimanawa muster.

She’s spent the past three showjumping seasons aboard Redcliff’s Bill as a sponsored Kaimanawa rider, making placings at almost every weekend competition from September through to April.

Now she’s encouraging those who can to sign up to adopt a pony from the 2019 Kaimanawa muster to do so as soon as possible, as applications close this Sunday, April 7.

The future for horses that can’t find a new home is rather bleak.

“He’s been so consistent with me over the time that I’ve had him,” the 16-year-old St

Horses with the `X-factor’

Peter’s student said. “You always feel safe on him, you know that he’s going to go out there and not going to give up on you, he really wants to do it.”

Fresh from the wild, Redcliff’s Bill was trained by Kate Hewlett for the first Stallion Challenge at Equidays in 2014. His excellent performance and attitude saw him become an ambassador for the breed, and 2017 he and Georgia took out the top place in the JLT Pony 6 Bar at Equidays.

He first went to live with Georgia on Waiheke Island, but as they continued to top the showjumping circuit mum Kelly Bouzaid made the call to move to Cambridge 18 months ago, providing a more central location for competitions.

Bill, as he’s known at home, has continued to have many successes with Georgia, including winning the six bar competitions at

the Taupo Christmas Classic and at Equidays.

He’s settled in well in Cambridge, nestled in a quiet country home in Kaipaki, enjoying his favourite food, carrots, and time with his two equestrian companions, a young Thoroughbred named Nigel and a Shetland pony called Manni.

“He has a lot of personality, he’s a cheeky monkey, but he’s really good, a lot of fun. He always tries really hard,” said Georgia.

“There are a few (ponies) born to Kaimanawas that have gone on to win titles like Pony of the Year, but he’s really the only one born and raised in the ranges to reach this level.”

“He’s a bit of a freak of nature, he sure can jump,” Kelly added. “He’s become a little bit of a celebrity on the circuit too.”

Georgia said she would love to train a wild Kaimanawa for herself one day, but for now

The feral Kaiamanawa horses have been in the range since at least 1879 and their numbers have been controlled by culling since 1993.

Culling will be held in April and May as 74 horses are mustered out as part of the Kaimanawa Range ecological management strategy.

The Kaimanawa Heritage Horses (KHH) looks for new homes for the horses.

“KHH only has applications for 34 horses at this stage,” KHH Chairperson Kimber Brown said last week. “That leaves a lot of horses still in need of caring homes with suitably experienced new owners.

KHH Welfare Officer Michele Hautain said the horses coming out of the muster are “true wild horses”, but within time they will do anything their owners ask of them.

“In the early days they need sympathetic handling to ensure they make a successful transition to domestic life,” she said.

“Kaimanawas have an X-Factor; their senses are acute, and they have proven to be very trainable. Given the right environment they are very curious, honest and friendly and are suitable for a variety of equine disciplines.”

The cost for taking a horse from this year’s muster has been set at $250.

KHH can offer support and advice to prospective new owners. More information and application forms are available at www.kaimanawaheritagehorses. org and forms can be sent to muster@ KaimanawaHeritageHorses.org. To speak to Georgia Bouzaid, pictured with Redcliff’s Bill, is a sponsored showjumping rider for Kaimanawa Heritage the Waikato Area manager, call Michele on Horses, and hopes people will sign up to take in a Kaimanawa horse from the 2019 muster and help save them 0274318082. from a bleak future.

she’ll stick to showjumping with Bill.

“They really want to please, they want to do well, you’ve just got to take the time with them,” she explained.

“At the start when you first get them out of the wild they’re going to take time, it’s going to teach you patience, but I think once they trust you, they’ll do anything for you.

I guess they don’t know what they’re doing at first, so they’ve got to find someone they can follow. And if they can trust you, you’re going to be that person.

“They’re just great ponies.”

One more year for new pool complex

The reopening of the Cambridge Pool complex has been put back six months following delays in securing contracts.

The project started nine months ago and the initial completion date, the end of 2019, has been pushed back to mid-2020.

The budget for the project – which includes junior, toddler and hydrotherapy pools, a splash pad, an upgrade to the 50m outdoor pool and a new 10-lane 25m pool – remains at $20.7M. The cost of the project increased by $1.6 million last year, due to increases in material and fuel prices, and, Waipa District Council said, a “stretched sub-contractor market and an unwillingness by Council to take on risk”.

The increase will be funded by property sales in

Cambridge.

The old 1971 pool complex closed for construction at the end of February last year and was largely demolished in May. Construction of the new complex began in June.

Contractors have cleared the site, completed preparation works and put rear retaining walls in place. Most of the underground services have been installed.

Contractors are now focussing on below-ground services and foundation works, beginning deep excavations for the new pools as well as work on the plant rooms.

The new 25 metre United States-built pool arrived on site last week

The existing 50m Cambridge pool is being upgraded (pictured). Behind it, excavation is underway where the new building will go.

Cambridge joins the Superheroes A Cambridge team was the biggest school fundraiser at the annual Relay for Life at Hamilton’s Claudelands Events Centre.

The oval at the Claudelands Grandstand was awash with colour and community spirit on Saturday when more than 1,200 superheroes took to the track for the Cancer Society’s Relay For Life.

Eighty-nine teams took up the challenge to keep their baton moving around the track for 12 hours in support of Kiwis affected by cancer. Among those were Cambridge teams from Cambridge High and St Peter’s School, which won the award for the school team that raised the most for the Cancer Society, and the Cambridge Lions.

They were joined on the day by over 200 cancer survivors and

carers, who were honoured during the opening lap, and hundreds of spectators who came along to show their support.

Shelley Campbell, chief executive at the Waikato/ Bay of Plenty Cancer Society, commended the commitment of teams that spent weeks in the lead up to the event fundraising with bake sales, raffles, sausage sizzles, busking and more.

“It’s wonderful to see the community come together for this unique opportunity to celebrate cancer survivors, remember loved ones lost to cancer and raise awareness and funds in support of the Cancer Society.

“One in three New Zealanders will experience a cancer diagnosis in their lifetime. It impacts everyone, and that’s reflected by

the huge range of people from across the region who choose to take part in Relay – from family teams to workplaces, schools and community groups.”

Ms Campbell says final figures are still being tallied but the total amount raised from the event will be more than $154,000.

Money raised will stay in the Waikato/Bay of Plenty region and help the Cancer Society to provide a range of supportive care services including transport to medical appointments, advice and information from support nurses and accommodation during treatment.

Paying tribute to the support the event received, Ms Campbell said the Cancer Society wouldn’t be able to operate without the generosity of the community.

Running the Great Wall for great cause neurological conditions, from head injury to MS and Alzheimers.

“One in five people are affected by neurological conditions, and there are a lot of things they can’t do, so hopefully more research will help them live a better life,” Karen said.

The main goal, she said, is to simply finish the race with a smile on her face. “Rather than being completely dead by the end of it!” she laughed. “I don’t think I’ll get a placing, but I do plan to finish it.”

“It all started simply because I wanted to achieve it, I thought it would be challenging, being a marathon on stairs, and it’s also exciting to see the Great Wall of China…and then I was like, hang on, I should be raising money for this!

“The best part will be raising money for a good cause, and the satisfaction of being able

By Sophie Iremonger

Doing a marathon is one thing, climbing the Great Wall of China is another.

Karen Grootscholten is doing both – taking on the 2019 Great Wall of China Marathon (pictured below) later this month.

As part of the effort, the long-time Cambridge resident originally from The Netherlands is raising funds for the Neurological Foundation of New Zealand and plans to match every dollar she collects with a dollar of her own – up to $2,500 – making for a potential $5K total for the organisation she holds close to heart.

Ten years ago Karen was in a kite surfing accident and took five years to recover from a serious brain injury, still suffering from some side affects today. She hopes the funds will help the organisation research and treat

to say I did it, and taking home a marathon medal for finishing.”

Karen is training on all the stairs she can get her feet on – from Te Ko Utu Lake to the Hakarimatas, and runs about 50km per week, hoping to increase that as she nears the competition.

She’ll fly out on April 15, with the marathon commencing April 18. She’s most looking forward to spending time with other runners on the New Zealand team, seeing the sites of China, and finishing one of the most challenging marathons in the world.

“Having done races before it’s going to be really exciting standing there waiting for the start,” she said. “I think it will be really challenging after 28km, by then I’ll just want to be at the end! But when I’ve finished I’ll just be so happy, with a big grin on my face.”

Donations to support Karen’s cause can be made at https://neurologicalfoundationappeal.everydayhero.com/nz/greatwall-of-china-marathon-2019. neurologicalfoundationappeal.everydayhero.com/nz/ great-wall-of-china-marathon-2019.

Karen Grootscholten will run the Great Wall of China Marathon this month, raising funds for the Neurological Foundation of NZ.

A US court has handed a $42.8m victory to Zuru Toys, founded by Cambridge siblings Mat, Anna and Nick Mowbray, following a prolonged spat with US company Telebrands over a patent-violation.

The District Court for the Eastern District of Texas granted the application by Zuru Toys for enhanced damages in a decision filed March 27, doubling the penalty to US$24.5m and awarding US$4.8m in costs, after the jury found Telebrands infringing was "willful".

The process began three years ago when Zuru Toys claimed Telebrands had ripped off

its product, Bunch O Balloons, which enables multiple water balloons to be filled at once.

In a jury trial in December, Zuru won US$12.5m damages from Telebrands.

Zuru Toys has two more cases against the US company, involving alleged copies of the Balloon Bonanza and Easy Einsteins products.

The New Zealand company produces 600,000 toys a day distributing to over 120 countries, and employs more than 5500 people. It is set to increase its revenue from $500m to $600m this year.

Cambridge mum Community Board wins supreme award walks 100km

By Sophie Iremonger

Rachel Pridham did what the average person would deem “impossible” or “unimaginable” last weekend, she walked over 100km.

The mother of two is your normal Cambridge resident – not an elite athlete by any means, but she figured “why not” when it came to walking 100km in 32 hours for Oxfam New Zealand.

“My body is now suffering,” she laughed a few days after completing the mammoth task, nursing a sprained ankle and pulled ligament.

“It was a long time… but it was really just one foot in front of the other.”

When Rachel and her Matamata-Piako district team mates Rexine Hawes, Amy Pollock and Meghan Lancaster originally signed up for the event, she thought it would be 25km per person.

“I kind of thought, this is for crazy people,” Rachel laughed, looking back on the challenge. “For me it was a huge deal, because it’s not something I would ever do, I’m not an athlete or an ‘iron man’. I’m just an everyday person who thought I’d give it a go.”

Rachel described the 32-hour experience as incredible, but definitely not easy. “It was probably both the worst and best thing I’ve ever done,” she said. “I’m glad I did it, though I can’t say I would do it again any time soon!”

The support of the Whakatane crowd, their supporters and from her own team, Rachel said, is what helped motivate her through an arduous final stretch over hills.

“I struggled with it, but as the goal got

closer I really wanted to achieve it, and I just thought, I’ve got to do it.”

Looking a little worse for wear towards the end, an event supporter asked if she wanted to pull out. “I thought, ‘I can’t do that to my team or me’,” she said.

Rachel stopped at the 90km mark to restrap her feet and take a few pain killers, and a final boost of adrenalin helped propel her to the end. She said she couldn’t have done it without her team. “And somehow we still managed to stay friends by the end of it!” she laughed.

The team managed to raise close to $3,500 for Oxfam New Zealand.

As to why she did it, Rachel said, “I just wanted to do something outside the box …

Who knows what I’ll try next, but the next challenge will be something completely different.”

The Cambridge Community Board took top honours at the Sister Cities New Zealand Awards in Palmerston North on March 23, winning both the Supreme Award and the award for community organisations.

Cambridge Community Board member Roger Gordon said he was blown away when they were announced winners of the community organisation award.

“But when the second announcement came that we had won the overall major project, for once I was speechless, but beaming with pride of how much we had achieved through the efforts of an army of committed Cambridge residents,” Gordon said.

The Board’s efforts to strengthen Cambridge’s relationship with French sister city Le Quesnoy was a key driver behind the success at the awards.

This included the Board’s work in raising awareness of the WWI liberation of Le Quesnoy – putting on an informative family fun day, photo exhibition, and popular Light and Sound show, as well as organising Armistice commemorative events, their delegation to France for centenary commemorations of the liberation of Le Quesnoy, and their leadership role in plans for a New Zealand War Memorial Museum in France.

Bat habitat temporarily closed Endangered species found in dangerous trees means the Tamahere Reserve needs to temporarily close.

The endangered long-tailed bat has a presence in the area, but a number of the pine trees they have been found in are posing a risk to those who use the reserve and Tauwhare Road.

Waikato District Council has organised arborists to have work done on the dangerous trees as soon as possible, but in the meantime, for the safety of those who use it, the reserve has been temporarily closed.

Waikato District Council’s Open Spaces Team Leader Duncan MacDougall said the council has been working closely with

the Department of Conservation to ensure the necessary tree maintenance goes ahead without affecting the bats.

“As the reserve is especially important for bats, we are working with the Department of Conservation to ensure their continued presence in and around the reserve but need to carefully manage this with the safety of the public and the danger that some of these pine trees are causing,” Mr MacDougall said.

Work is planned to occur within the next month to have a number of the trees made safe. This work will be completed in line with the conditions imposed by the Department of Conservation which will ensure the safety of the bats.

Road Safety Expo proves helpful

A joint initiative by Age Concern and Waipa District Council saw dozens of Cambridge’s 60-plus residents, and a few younger people, attend the Road Safety Expo for seniors at the Cambridge Town Hall on March 19.

The day’s activities focussed on many different aspects of road safety. A panel of experts with representatives from NZ Police, Waipa District Council, NZ Transport Agency and a driving testing officer fielded questions from the crowd, and workshops went over intersection rules, road code changes and life after driving.

Participants also got the chance to test out mobility scooters, and had plenty of information on offer from various support organisations as well as walking and cycling groups.

Test drives on mobility scooters were quite popular.

Lord of the Rings designer visits St Peter’s students

World renowned set and prop designer John Harding visited St Peter’s for three days last week.

Harding, who has worked on sets for the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit trilogies, Avatar, King Kong and many more, worked with the school’s Head of Arts Department Faith Thomas on the set for the upcoming St Peter’s production of Bonnie and Clyde.

He also spoke to students about his career path through teaching and into theatre, sharing his focus on a love of design in all fields, and his resilience and experiences working on world-renowned projects.

“New Zealand punches above its weight in the film industry with a ‘can do’ attitude,” he said, identifying New Zealand’s isolation as our gift, because we cannot hire stately homes or period costumes. We can, however, explore materials, experiment, be creative and innovative in a myriad of ways to design costumes, sets, and cutting-edge digital effects and programmes that are shared across the world.

Using the Bonnie and

Clyde set as an example, John said it was important to keep things simple and work with what you have.

He emphasized the story, noting that how it is told is much more important than the props, especially when starting out.

When working on set design and costume design, John would think: “What do these characters have available to them?”

For example the natives in King Kong didn’t have many resources, so their costumes were made

entirely of human hair. If the costumes are designed with what the characters would’ve had available, it adds another layer to the story.

He encouraged students to film anything, just start somewhere. “Get your phone out, have a play with the angles. Just shoot stuff, and you will learn what works and what doesn’t.”

After his talk, John walked around the Bonnie and Clyde set with keen students, sharing new techniques and insights.

Lord of The Rings designer John Harding worked on the set for the upcoming St Peter’s production of Bonnie and Clyde recently, giving the finishing touch to a 1920s prop car.

Funds totalling at $25,000 have been donated to various community organisations by the Cambridge Christmas Festival Society.

The donations were made on March 26 out of after-expenses proceeds from the December 2018 Christmas Festival in the Cambridge Town Hall.

Having received numerous requests, Festival members voted to donate the funds to the following organisations: Cambridge Middle School for their Pod Cast Station project; Octopus for a Preemie NZ; Cambridge Community Gardens; Kids in Need Waikato; Operation Coverup (Cambridge branch); Sailability Waikato

Trust; Cambridge Parents Centre; Thornton Club; Cambridge Community House Trust; Cambridge Disabled Sheltered Workshop Achievement House; True Colours Children’s Health Trust; and Cambridge Heritage Charitable Trust.

A donation was also made to the Blind Foundation, nominated by the winner of the Festival’s Christmas Decorated Window Competition, Deli on the Corner.

Society treasurer Janet McComb said Festival members worked hard all year to put the event together. “They feel the hard work is all worthwhile when they can donate this amount back to the community.”

Foreign languages union offering night classes Three Cambridge women are working together to bring language night classes to Cambridge.

Cherie Cartwright, the facilitator of popular French night classes in town for the last three years, has brought together many “Francophiles” (lovers of French language) together under one roof.

Sandrine Pryor came on board last year, and the pair teach French in fun weekly classes.

Jo Davies-Colley on the other hand, is starting an Italian language night class for beginners next month.

The ladies have coined their little union FLOC (Foreign Languages of Cambridge), and are hoping other language teachers will join them in offering more night class options.

“Cambridge is such a vibrant town filled with so many interesting people,” Jo said. “It’s a shame that for so long, people have had to go to Hamilton to learn languages in the evenings.

“Seeing others fall in love with the romantic language of Italy and passing on my passion for this language is what I enjoy most about teaching Italian.

“We want to offer something interesting for people to do in the evenings, away from the pressures of work and where people can learn a new skill and meet other local language enthusiasts.”

Jo took Cherie and Sandrine’s French class for six months. “I met some fabulous people that I still am connected

with today,” she said.

Jo’s ties to Italy date back to World War II, when her grandmother met her Kiwi grandad during the New Zealand attempt at liberating the city of Trieste from German occupation in 1945.

Growing up hearing her grandmother speak Italian it was childhood dream to learn the language. She attended high school in Italy for a year and spent another year working and living in a coastal town in Italy, completing a BA majoring in Italian Cherie studied French and university and in New Calidonia, and lived in Bordeaux, France for a year. She moved to Cambridge seven years ago.

Sandrine spent her childhood on Reunion Island near Madacascar, and lived in Nice where she set up a French language school for adults. She moved to Rotorua, New Zealand, and later spent some time living in Dubai before moving back to New Zealand two years ago and settling in Cambridge.

Classes are run from Cambridge High School and are informal and fun, sometimes incorporating food, culture and history.

MORTGAGE MATTERS

Refinancing Your Mortgage

By Gavin Lynch – Yes Mortgages Refinancing your mortgage is the process of changing your mortgage lending from your existing lender to a new lender. Refinancing is a common practice for any of these reasons: • You don’t like the lender you are with.

You’ve experienced poor service, problems with staff, or high account fees.

• You want to borrow more money but the lender won’t allow it.

Perhaps you want to consolidate debt, borrow to purchase a rental property or a vehicle, or put working capital into a business.

• You have ‘outgrown’ your existing lender and want to move forward.

This is common for self-employed people with a growing business, or for investors with an increasing portfolio.

• Your lender has asked you to refinance.

You may be in arrears with mortgage repayments or you need to restructure your mortgage.

Refinancing can involve costs such as break fees from the existing lender, solicitors’ fees, valuation charges etc, but we can help get cash contributions from your new lender to help offset these costs.

At Yes Mortgages, we can outline the costs involved and find the best new lender to fit your current situation from the 25 or so different lenders available. In most instances, our service is FREE to you.

Generally the benefits of refinancing outweigh the costs involved but bear in mind: Refinancing your mortgage must benefit and add value to YOU. Let us do the work to find you the best lender for your situation.

Sailor wins championship twice

By Sophie Iremonger

A Cambridge sailor has defended the JJ Gilitan trophy in stunning fashion after claiming the win in five of nine races in the JJ Gilitan Championship last month – the “world championships” of 18-foot skiff racing.

Racing across Sydney Harbour, Brad Collins and the Honda Marine team won the seven-day competition by 13 points, following on from another stellar win at last year’s competition.

“On the back of winning in 2018 we always knew that the Australians would come back stronger,” said Brad, a former Cambridge High School student in his hey-day.

Reds set to host Northern League home games

By Josh Easby

Cambridge football supporters get their first chance to watch Northern League action this year when Auckland side Oratia United visits this Saturday.

The Reds host Oratia at John Kerkhof Park in a double header which sees the clubs’ reserves team play at 12.30pm, followed by the main Lotto NRFL second division clash at 3pm.

The Reds go into their first home game of the new season with confidence after a nail-biting 2-1 win last weekend at Franklin United.

Last May, the Reds suffered their worst defeat of the 2018 season, tumbling 8-1 to the south Aucklanders. But Paul Richardson’s 2019 squad – containing seven survivors of that losing line-up – were not about to lie down without a fight

in this year’s fixture.

Franklin took the lead through Kartik Kumar after 25 minutes. Cambridge fought back and the pressure paid off ten minutes before the interval when midfielder Fabbian Munoz found the equalizer.

After the break, Cambridge went in search of the winner and it came from substitute striker Dylan Brown who scored with an impressive header on the hour.

Cambridge reserves won their first match of the season 1-0 against Franklin.

New Cambridge signing Devon Andrews scored the winner for the Reds against his old club.

Andrews, 23, joined Cambridge from Franklin in pre-season.

In the WaiBOP Championship, Cambridge lost their opening match 2-0 at Waikato Unicol.

This year’s Reds. Back row: Riley Higgs, Patrick Woodlock, Aaron Heusser, Josh Clarkin, Jack Portegys, Brandon Eaton, Daniel Clarkin, Dylan Blair, Kieran Hill, Bradley Rea. Front row: Mike Leatherbarrow, Callum Macleod, Nathan Claridge (captain), Fraser Nicholls, Luke Stephenson, Fabbian Munoz, Patrick Steele.

Leamington croquet tournament Another successful Golf Croquet Autumn Tournament was held at the Leamington club on Wednesday, March 20 with players attending from local clubs in Te Awamutu, Hamilton, Matamata and from as far away as Tauranga.

The club lawns were fast to play on, making the game a great challenge. We are lucky to have received grants from Pub Charity, Grinter’s Funeral Services and Jumble Around in the past twelve months, which have enabled lawn renovation work to be carried out and up-to-date equipment to be purchased.

Tournament winners were as follows: Division A: Betty van Mil and Peter Olson, Matamata, five wins. Runners up: Elaine Mitchell, Putaruru, and Mary Kennedy, Claudelands, three wins.

Division B: Margy Lynch and Liz Johnson, Hamilton East, four wins. Runners up: Olwen Kerr and Lesley Newman, Claudelands, three wins.

Winter Warmth FEATURE

FRIDAY APRIL 5, 2019

ARE YOU READY FOR WINTER?

Grants for insulation and heating Winter is coming and there’s nothing worse than a cold, damp house that’s hard to heat. Many New Zealand homes aren’t warm enough in winter, increasing your risk of respiratory illness. Putting on another jersey doesn’t help because you are still breathing in cold air. A warm, dry insulated home is healthier and easier to heat.

If you are a homeowner and live in the home, you may be eligible for a Government grant covering two-thirds of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation. Grants for heaters will be available from July (these will be capped) but you will need to have insulation installed to EECA standards before getting a heating appliance. EECA advises getting your home insulated now in time for the start of heating grants.

You may qualify if: • your home was built before the year 2008 • you are the homeowner (owner-occupier) and have a Community Services Card or SuperGold combo card, or • you own and live in a home in an area identified as lowerincome.

You may be eligible if you hold a licence to occupy in a retirement village.

To find out if you are eligible free phone 0800 749 782 to talk to EECA Energywise or use the eligibility tool on the Energywise website www.energywise.govt.nz/tools/warmerkiwi-homes-tool/.

Heat pumps

Modern woodburners

Good for: • low running costs (when you use them properly) • producing instant heat • convenience - you can control the temperature with the thermostat and use the timer.

Be aware that: • they must be sized correctly • for the space and the climate • to work well (if you live in a colder area, ask the supplier to size the heat pump based on its low temperature performance) • some are a lot more efficient than others - look for the Energy Rating Label (the more stars, the more energy efficient) • they won't work during a power cut.

Supplied by EECA

Good for: • low running costs, especially if you have access to free or cheap firewood • the environment - if used correctly, they produce very little pollution and use renewable wood energy • heating large spaces • heating hot water in winter through a wetback system.

Be aware that: • firewood must be dry to burn cleanly and efficiently, so you need to plan ahead and store it undercover, ideally for at least 12 months • you need a building consent to install one and - unless your property is larger than two hectares - you need to use a woodburner on the approved list from the Ministry for the Environment.

Keeping your home warm in winter

Everyone deserves a home that is warm, dry and safe to live in. Even if your home is insulated and well-ventilated, without a source of heat, the chances are you’ll still be cold during the winter months.

Of course, a heat source and fuel can ramp up your power bills so make sure you choose the best options for your home. Carefully consider your needs, seek advice and plan ahead.

How you use a room will help you decide what type of heating is most suitable. Smaller rooms that are used occasionally may not need the kind of heating system that a larger, frequently used room does. Government agency EECA, the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority, suggests that for larger rooms that you want to heat regularly, like a living room, it’s worth paying a bit more upfront for a fixed heater with lower running costs and more heat output than an electric heater.

This could be a modern wood or wood-pellet burner, an energy efficient heat pump, or a four-star flued gas heater.

Electric heaters may be enough for smaller rooms and rooms you only heat occasionally, like bedrooms - they’re cheap to buy but more expensive to run.

Three things to consider when choosing heating for your home are • the amount of heating you need • upfront and running costs, and • environmental impacts of the different options.

Celebrating over 40 years experience in Heat Pumps and Air Conditioning

FRIDAY APRIL 5, 2019

‘We make it easy’ Eastside Refrigeration is a locally, privately owned company – and it shows.

Both directors are Waikato lads and are hands on within the company. ‘Treat a customer how you would like to be treated yourself – make it easy’ is the basis for solving problems. Striving to do things right the first time is the aim.

‘Client satisfaction is a serious thing, and we take it personally. We have real pride in being experts at what we do. We are specialised in our field and differentiate ourselves from numerous competitors by striving to be better at design, better organised and more personal in our approach, including an unprecedented guarantee of design. We are Refrigeration, Heating and Air Conditioning Engineers and proud of it. And no… we don’t sell T.Vs or toasters!’

our services

Heat Pump Sales & Installation At Eastside Refrigeration we believe it’s all about the personal touch.

We take responsibility for all aspects of design, sales, installation and then follow up with post installation service and maintenance. We offer design advice for all homes and can visit you to see exactly what is required.

Commercial Sales & Installation Commercial air conditioning requires extensive design and installation.

Heading up our design team, Don Hollingsworth brings over 30 years of HVAC experience to Eastside and is a qualified Mechanical engineer.

He and the team can design air conditioning and ventilation systems to suit both residential and commercial buildings of any size.

Servicing & Repair The service department at Eastside focuses on air conditioning and refrigeration, with some work in ventilation. The team also service and maintain many specialised sites, including large cool rooms, blast freezers and specialised medical and scientific equipment. There is a rostered 24 hour, 7 day emergency call-out system for existing commercial clients.

Preventative Maintenance Organising regular preventative maintenance with us will ensure you aren’t paying more to heat and cool your home or office than you need to. For commercial applications, preventative maintenance is incredibly important and is often required for Council compliance. Any issues, even those that seem to be minor, can create inefficient systems making them less cost-effective.

introducing your Cambridge local You don’t have to freeze this winter when Eastside is just a phone call away Here at Eastside we like to ‘make it easy’ for our customers. Local man and Eastside sales consultant, Shaun Livingstone attends to all Cambridge callouts. He says there are many variants to getting the right heat pump or air conditioner installed in your home. ‘The size of the room, the amount of insulation, the size and amount of glass in the room all affect what system we will recommend.’

‘We offer free, expert advice. The advantage of using Eastside is that all of the work is done in-house. We do the consulting, sales, installation and servicing.

We’re your one-stop shop.’

Shaun has lived in Cambridge for most of his life, attended local schools and now lives here with his own family.

FRIDAY APRIL 5, 2019

with Jan Bilton

Easter enjoyment

Easter is approaching — a time to share sweet eats with family and friends. Food stores are laden with chocolate eggs, rabbits and chickens this year and — judging from my last few supermarket visits — by the time Easter arrives I think many children will have overindulged and soured on sweet treats.

The tradition of eating of eggs was once prohibited during the lead up to Easter (Lent) and their return afterwards provided a reason to celebrate. Hence the evolution of the giving of eggs to celebrate Easter Sunday and spring (in the northern hemisphere).

In many countries hens’ eggs were decorated with dye or paint but these have largely been replaced by the chocolate variety.

The eggs can be hidden for children to find on Easter Sunday, supposedly brought by the Easter bunny.

Hot cross buns are readily available— nowadays almost right throughout the year. They can be enjoyed hot or cold, or as burger buns for pan-fried ham as well as the base for bread and butter puddings.

Roast lamb is also an Easter tradition, especially in Greece.

However, many Americans choose to roast a ham. Both provide a great feast for the family during the holiday weekend while we enjoy the last of the warmer weather.

CHOCOLATE & CUSTARD EASTER MUFFINS

These muffins require longer cooking than normal because of the custard centres.

2 cups self-raising flour 2 tablespoons cocoa powder 1 teaspoon ground mixed spice 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 cup caster sugar 100g butter, melted 1 cup buttermilk 1 large egg, lightly beaten 1/4-1/3 cup thick custard Topping: 300g prepared yellow buttercream icing 10 small Easter eggs

Preheat the oven to 190°C. Line 10 muffin holes with paper cases.

Sift the flour, cocoa powder, mixed spice and baking soda into a bowl.

Stir in the caster sugar.

Whisk the butter, buttermilk and egg in a bowl to combine. Stir into the dry ingredients until just moistened.

Half fill the paper cases with the mixture. Make a hollow in the middle of each and place a teaspoon of custard in the centre. Top with the remaining muffin mixture. Bake for 25-30 minutes.

Cool on a wire rack. Pipe the tops with the buttercream icing and place an Easter egg on top. Makes 10.

EASTER HEDGEHOG SLICE Hedgehog slice presumably received its name from an English concoction of light coloured chopped biscuits combined with a chocolate mixture, then iced and stuck with slivered almonds. This is an Easter version.

Base: 250g shortbread biscuits 1/2 cup desiccated coconut 2 tablespoons cocoa powder 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 150g milk chocolate, chopped 100g butter, chopped 1/2 can sweetened condensed milk Topping: 225g white chocolate, chopped 2 tablespoons Kremelta or coconut oil 50-60 mini Easter egg

Lightly oil and line a 24cm x 20cm slice pan with baking paper.

Crush the shortbread with a rolling pin leaving some as little chunks. Place in a bowl with the coconut, cocoa powder and ground cinnamon. Mix well.

Melt the chocolate and butter together with the sweetened condensed milk on low heat. Mix well.

Pour into the dry ingredients and mix again.

Press into the lined pan. Chill until set.

Melt the white chocolate with the Kremelta, stirring often. Pour over the base. Allow to set a little then top with the mini Easter eggs. Cut into squares or bars. Makes about 25 squares.

SALMON BURGERS WITH CITRUS AIOLI The perfect weekend burger. I used the local Peplers Citrus Tartare Aioli.

200g fresh salmon fillet, pin bones removed 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard 1 shallot, diced 1/4 cup coarse breadcrumbs 1 tablespoon capers, drained and rinsed salt and pepper to taste 1-2 tablespoons rice bran oil 2 burger buns, citrus tartare aioli, salad ingredients, chopped parsley, lemon wedges to serve Chop the salmon and place in a food processor. Add the mustard and pulse briefly. Add the shallot, breadcrumbs, capers and seasonings and pulse until finely chopped but not puréed.

Form the mixture into 2 patties. Cover and refrigerate, if required, for up to 4 hours.

Heat the oil in a non-stick pan on medium. Pan-fry the burgers for 2 minutes each side.

Toast the split buns, if preferred. Spread with aioli. Top the bases with salad ingredients, then the burgers, more aioli, parsley and a lemon wedge. The tops may be served on the side. Serves 2.

Cambridge Autumn Festival a success

The Cambridge Autumn Festival wrapped up on Sunday after a fantastic ten-day event over March 22 – 31. Organisers wished to thank all those who helped make it such a great success this year. The event finished up over the weekend with a night of blues and jazz on Friday night, the Incredi-Bubble Science Workshop on Saturday morning and “Saturday Live” music event that night, followed by the Fashion over a Teacup fundraiser and Villani Piano Quartet on Sunday, finishing off what was a most successful event for 2019.

The Fashion Over a Teacup event at the Cambridge Town Hall on Sunday raised funds for Hospice Waikato.

Bubble extraordinaire Emma Lucas’s Incredi-Bubble Science Workshop was a fascinating spectacle for both children and adults.

Street performers on stilts were an eye catcher at the Main Street Carnival.

All sorts of weird and wacky street art and performances were on display during the Main Street Carnival.

Fabric Fair this Saturday Altrusa International Cambridge’s big Fabric Fair returns for 2019 this weekend, taking place at the Senior Citizens Hall, Milicich Place from 9.30am to 1pm.

The event has now become a two-yearly event since it started in 2017. It brings together a huge hall of all things fabric – including a massive range of different fabrics, as well as natural fibres such as wool, merino and cotton, and other materials like lace, knitting needles, haberdashery and craft books.

It’s an opportunity to “grab a bargain”, says organisers, for anyone who loves to sew, quilt or knit. Eftpos will be available.

The hundreds of items have all been donated by Cambridge locals. This year a large number of men’s ties have been donated, in case anyone is looking to make something a bit different.

Net proceeds from the event will go towards Kids In Need Waikato and the Children 1st Charitable Trust.

Altrusa International Cambridge has been planning the event for the last few weeks and looks forward to seeing residents turn out for the occasion on Saturday.

SHAZAM stands for Solomon (wisdom), Hercules (strength), Atlas (stamina), Zeus (power), Achilles (courage), Mercury (speed), six immortal elders who grant Captain Marvel his superpowers. Billy Batson is a streetwise 14-year-old who can magically transform into the adult superhero Shazam simply by shouting out one word. His newfound powers soon get put to the test when he squares off against the evil Dr. Thaddeus Sivana.

It’s a lightning bolt of unexpected joy and packs so much heart and fun, with a superhero that truly feels like no other.

From the visionary producers of Waru, comes Vai. Vai is written and directed by nine wāhine of Māori and Pacific Island Ancestry, filmed in seven different Pacific countries: Fiji, Tonga, Solomon Islands, Kuki Airani (Cook Islands), Samoa, Niue and Aotearoa (New Zealand). It illustrates the journey of empowerment through culture over the lifetime of one woman, Vai, played by a different indigenous actress in each of the Pacific countries. In each of these Pacific nations ‘vai’ means water. What is clear is that Vai is a gorgeous profound work of art, brilliantly assembled and filled with engaging performances.

Two wins and a loss for Leamington

It was fantastic to see the under 85kgs start their season with an away game at Hamilton Marist. It was a tough assignment to start with but this young side showed plenty of spirit and never gave up. Marist won 72-8. Player of the day was Thomas Davies and special mention to Hamish Madjwick.
