Planning to meet growth

Waipa District Council is preparing the Cambridge landscape for its expected population growth of 9000 people over the next decade.

Already the number of residents has grown by over 1200 people in the last four years, now at around 20,400. The current rate means Cambridge will need thousands of new households and several more retail developments.

Waipa District Council has confirmed three commercial developments are planned for the next decade. The

organisation rezoned over 350 hectares of rural land on the outskirts of Cambridge into residential and commercial land, finalised in March of this year, where retail hubs and housing developments are planned.

At Hautapu, Council has planned for a neighbourhood centre on Victoria Road, adjacent to the north side of the green belt.

Separate from the APL development announced in December, this development, originally proposed in 2006 by

NEIGHBOURHOOD CENTRE • 6,500m2 in size.

• Timeframe undetermined, based on market interest.

Reg’s big day nets a world record

Cambridge’s Reg Rye finally achieved a long-held personal goal on April 27.

He successfully set the UCI World Cycling Hour record for his age group by completing an hour’s unaided ride around the track at the Avantidrome. He rode 20.886 km in that time – a far from shabby result for someone turning 97 at the June 21 winter equinox.

At the end of it all, amid cheers from his supporters, he settled back into a chair and declared … “I’m buggered!” Then, after expressing disappointment that the bottle of fluid handed to him was “only water”, he did a series of interviews before heading off to complete a drug test.

Among the many who shared in Reg’s delight at completing the record was his long-time coach and the man who runs the Avanti Cycle Shop, Mike van Enter. He said the pair had been preparing to do the record last year, but a bout of flu saw Reg pull the plug on the attempt at the 11th hour.

“We nearly had the same thing happen

this time, too,” he said. “Just a few weeks ago Reg got sick again, but this time he went to the doctor and it cleared up faster, so we were able to go ahead.”

Mike said the post-attempt drug test was one of a raft of compliance requirements set by UCI in order to validate the record. Others included clearing all Reg’s medication, ensuring he was riding a UCIcertified bike and that he was a member of a club (he belongs to a Te Awamutu club), and having the track mathematically measured by a quantity surveyor to work out Reg’s lap distances. Timekeeping was done both manually and electronically through the attempt.

“Is it all very technical … we couldn’t afford for anything to go wrong,” he said.

Reg was also given special dispensation which allowed him to use a road bike rather than the standard fixed wheel track cycling bike, and was restricted for safety reasons to riding the ‘cote d’azur’, the blue line around the bottom of the track.

Despite being a little nervous, and insisting he must be mad,

Reg powered through his ride unscathed.

His right shoulder hurt, he said later, and at one point his foot slipped from the pedal, making for a few unexpected wobbles. Mike held up encouraging signs through all of Reg’s 83 laps, some of them bearing the names of his family members.

Reg rode bikes earlier in his life and was a founding and life member of the Cambridge Athletics and Harriers Club. It wasn’t until he lost his wife a few years ago that he returned to cycling.

Competition inspires him, it seems. Reg was the oldest New Zealand competitor in the 2017 World Masters Games and picked up two gold medals - one for the 500m time trial, and the other for the 2000m individual pursuit cycling event, also held at the Avantidrome.

He reckons Saturday’s record ride was one of the most important days of his life. Once the attempt was over, Mike walked Reg back to the start and whispered a suggestion in his ear. “How about Tokyo, then?”

“Why not!” came the smiling rejoinder.

Crossing doesn’t cut it

By Sophie Iremonger

With Cambridge’s student numbers continuing to grow some parents have become increasingly concerned over the effectiveness of a crossing on Victoria Street.

The crossing near the intersection with Williams Street became Cambridge’s second-ever set of traffic lights when it was installed

by Waipa District Council in 2016 at a price tag of $120,000.

But to some Cambridge parents the crossing remains incomplete.

“They haven’t finished the job really,” said Jude Bower, whose son Eddie uses the crossing twice daily on his school commute.

“My son has nearly been knocked off his scooter, another student was knocked off their bike by a car in recent weeks, and that kind of escalated it for me.

“When I spoke to council they said, if I really want my son to be safe maybe I should walk him to school, but he’s ten, not five.”

Eddie rolls his eyes at the embarrassing thought of

having his mum walk him to school, and says he’d much rather have a safer crossing.

Jude was one of the many parents that originally advocated for a crossing at the location – considered to be the ‘student highway’ of Cambridge with students from three different schools frequenting the route by foot, bike or scooter.

The busier, western side of the street uses traffic lights to stop cars with the push of a button. But the other side of the crossing, on the eastern side of the road median, does not have traffic lights. Instead the road is raised, like a speed bump, and painted red with white zigzag lines on either side.

“The white lines could make it look, to some, like pedestrians have the right of way,” said Anna James, another mum whose children use the crossing each day.

“I think at the very least we should have a zebra crossing, or otherwise have the lightscrossing carry on through to the other side.”

“I don’t think anybody knows what the red road means anyway,” added Jude.

Waipa District Council’s reasoning for not having a give-way pedestrian crossing on the other side of the street was because there is a lot less traffic on that side, a spokesperson explained, and traffic must give way at Williams Street too. “This creates a slower speed area which means a pedestrian crossing was not required.

“There is a similar raised red ‘crossing area’ on Whittaker St, and at the south end of Victoria Street East by the kindergarten as well. These are becoming common on low speed, low volume roads and are an extra reminder for both drivers and pedestrians to take more care.”

The red-painted road is known as a speed table, designed to signal drivers to slow down. “It helps create awareness that there may be

Students who use the Victoria St crossing every day would like to see the crossing changed so that pedestrians have the right of way on both sides of the street. Pictured from left is Robson Reidroe, Will James, Finn James, Liv James, Jude Bower and Eddie Wilkinson.

pedestrians around, and to be extra mindful.”

The red crossing is not a formal pedestrian crossing, and cars have right of way.

But for a number of parents in the area, it’s just not enough.

“Even for me it’s quite confusing, you’ve got to look in so many different directions before you cross, and then when you think you’re clear another car comes around and they’re there before you know it,” said Anna.

Cambridge East student Robson Reidroe was in full support of extending the traffic light crossing to the other side of the street. “It might not be a main street but they should still have traffic lights there,” he said.

Jude believes the best solution is to block off the Williams St entrance to the eastern side of Victoria Street, with access via the Princes Street end instead, so that the red crossing is essentially located at a dead end, with

no traffic passing through at all. But alternatively, she says, she’d be rapt with a

proper pedestrian crossing instead.

Waipa District Council

says it has followed NZTA protocol installing the raised red crossing.

Local man charged over Karapiro shooting

A Leamington man appeared in the Hamilton District Court on Friday, April 26 charged with one count of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, following a shooting in Karapiro on Anzac Day. The 67-year-old Caucasian male, who has been granted interim name suppression, allegedly shot a man in a café.

The incident happened just after 9am on April 25 at the Karapiro Café and Gifts shop on State Highway One. The pair exchanged words before the gunman opened fire inside the café.

About ten police officers attended the scene.

The victim, who is Chinese, remains in a serious but stable condition in the high

dependency unit in Waikato Hospital. He was working in the café at the time of the incident.

One other person was inside the cafe when the shooting took place.

The cafe remained closed over the weekend, with a note posted on the door which read: “Dear valued customers.

Following the horrific events of yesterday morning, we have been forced to close the cafe for at least the next few days. For now, Jim is doing well in hospital. We look forward to seeing him back in the workplace that is his pride and joy. The team at Karapiro Café.”

The alleged shooter, who is being represented in court by Kerry Burroughs, will next appear in court on Wednesday, May 8.

Planning underway to meet population growth Continued from page 1

By Sophie Iremonger

The 5.5 hectares area will include space for smaller retail stores, a healthcare centre, childcare centre and a high-end accommodation and conference centre. It’s expected to create 690 full time equivalent jobs and $39.8 million per annum in wages and salaries.

Council recently rezoned 30 hectares of deferred industrial zone land and 26.7 hectares of rural zone land to create the huge 56.7 hectare industrial zone bordering the Waikato Expressway, which encompasses the central hub and APL development. It will be

Cambridge Community Board chairperson Mike Pettit said new commercial developments were essential for Cambridge’s growth, but the focus must remain on the existing central business district.

Plans for the new APL site at Hautapu will include a central business development.

Waipa’s largest ever industrial development.

The APL development makes up approximately 35 hectares, and will see the company – which is New Zealand’s largest manufacturer of aluminium windows and doors – move its industrial sites from Te Rapa to Cambridge, beginning in May of next year, bringing with it approximately 100 employees. It will employ around 50 new staff when APL develops its new glass division during the first quarter of next year.

A central business hub has also been planned in the area to be occupied by APL. The organisation could not provide further details on the project, noting that it was still in the development stage and would be at least another five years away.

Hautapu’s industrial development is one of three rural areas of land rezoned by Council. Finalised in March, the C1, C2 and C3 “growth cells” were rezoned to allow for residential and commercial developments.

C1 covers the Hautapu industrial development.

Mike Pettit, chairperson of the Cambridge Community Board, said the organisation was all-for the development of new business hubs around Cambridge, but added that

the focus needed to remain on Cambridge’s existing CBD (central business district), and keeping it centralised to town.

“We see (central Cambridge) as the existing CBD, with improved links to Lakewood and over time Carters Flat, upon zoning changes,” he said. “We need to be catering and planning for a town double its current population within our lifetime.”

Inside the C2 and C3 growth cells, more housing and retail developments have been planned.

St Peter’s School and Chartwell Investments Limited, landowners inside the 143-hectare C3 zone, plan to create a subdivision with 600 to 800 new homes. The project is in the very early stages – sections won’t be available until at least 2021 – but the idea, the school’s trust board chairman John Erkkila explained, is to make St Peter’s the centre of a community.

The subdivision will stretch from the Waikato River almost to the road (Cambridge Road), situated on the four grassy terraces between the Te Awa retirement village and the Avantidrome. The developers are also planning to include a cafe and dairy in the area.

Just down the road, the 161.6-hectare C2 zone runs from the edge of the athletics grounds, along Cambridge Road to Peake Road, and just over a kilometre down Peake Road. There, Council has planned for a café and sports centre, as well as the possibility of an art and cultural centre. While Council could not provide further details, it did confirm the project would likely be located next to a park, similar to the St Kilda development.

“Their construction is largely marketdriven, and will go ahead when businesses have indicated their intention to move in,” a Waipa District Council spokesperson said.

Very early plans are also in the works to establish a new school inside the C2 zone, with discussions “on the way” between Council and the Ministry of Education.

Susan Howan, acting deputy secretary, sector enablement and support, from the Ministry of Education confirmed the idea was being looked into as part of the organisation’s National Education Growth Plan.

“We are aware of the population growth in Cambridge and are currently evaluating a possible site for a new primary school should it be needed,” she said.

More vandalism in Leamington

By Sophie Iremonger

Another Waikato DHB car was attacked during a second spate of vandalism on Shakespeare Street last week.

This time, staff arrived at work to find they’d lost a wheel and gained a car jack.

It followed a Sunday night attack on April 21, when six Waikato DHB cars used by Cambridge district nurses all had two tyres slashed.

Then on the night of April 23 a different Waikato DHB car, this one used by the Waikato DHB START team, had a tyre stolen. Staff found the car still propped up on rocks, with the jack left laying on the ground.

At the time of going to print police could not confirm whether fingerprints had been lifted from the item.

“Our district nurses, allied health and START teams

who use these vehicles every day providing care in our communities are very disappointed that our cars have been targeted by vandalism,” said Trina Falconer, contracts and service support manager for Waikato DHB. “Waikato DHB takes the safety of our staff and the resources needed to undertake their roles very seriously and security for this site is being reviewed

A public seat on Shakespeare St appeared as though someone had tried to rip it from the ground overnight on April 23 – 24.

with our security partners as a priority to try to prevent this happening again.”

“If anyone has any information, please contact the local Cambridge police.”

Police said enquiries into the theft were ongoing.

Following the April 21 tyreslashing incident, Police were investigating whether CCTV footage of the incident was available. They did not confirm whether this was successful.

Waipa District Council confirmed CCTV installations would begin in Leamington later this month.

One person working in the area said Leamington’s spike in vandalism was “getting ridiculous”.

“We’re now worried for our own safety getting into our cars, what if they’ve been tampered with?” said the woman, who wished to remain anonymous. “It’s getting scary now, especially if we work late.

“We need more police patrols in Cambridge overnight.”

Cambridge lost its 24/7 policing in 2016, and now has police based in town on Friday and Saturday nights only. Hamilton and Te Awamutu police still patrol

the wider district overnight.

The DHB weren’t the only ones in the area targeted on the night of April 23.

The Leamington BP station’s window appeared to have been shot with a slug or pellet gun. The incident occurred while the property was closed. No staff were

on site.

The public seat outside Jumble Around was also damaged that night, nearly ripped from the ground.

New Zealand Police are encouraging those with any information about the incidents to call Cambridge Police on 07 827 5531.

A wheel was stolen from a Waikato DHB START car on the night of April 23, with a wheel jack left at the scene.

Riders race the main streets

This year’s instalment of the Cambridge Cycling Festival saw a massive turn out of children take part in the event.

Over 80 percent of this year’s 600-plus participants were children, from two years old to teenagers, racing the main streets of the Cambridge CBD on the afternoon of Anzac Day. “It went really well, we’re really chuffed with how the community supported it,” said organiser and Olympic-gold cyclist Sarah Ulmer, who originally came up with the event in 2015.

“We had real growth from last year with over 500 kids.

And most importantly there were heaps of families having

an awesome day on their bikes – which is the very reason we do what we do!”

Cycling New Zealand’s elite men’s and women’s track teams rode with the kids this year, including Cambridge’s double-bronze World Champs medallist Rushlee Buchanan, the Olympic medal-winning men’s sprint team of Eddie Dawkins, Sam Webster and Ethan Mitchell, and the recent omnium world champion Campbell Stewart.

A crowd of well over a thousand people cheered riders on as they raced from tiny-tots and primary school level through to secondary school, open and elite level.

Cambridge’s main streets were closed to traffic on Thursday, April 25 for the Cambridge Cycling Festival.

It was a toss-up as to who showed the most grit at Cambridge’s first Anzac Day Soap Box Derby – the riders themselves or their parents.

Either way, there was a mix of gung-ho enthusiasm and a fair bit of trepidation on display as the starter hooter launched the race’s four heats and the 32 splendid soap boxes hurtled down Victoria Street.

Reading the rules at the start was the man behind the derby, Paul Johnson. A long-time soap box enthusiast and committee member of the Veteran and Vintage Car Club’s (VCC) Waikato branch, Paul sold 40 soap box starter kits at $50 apiece earlier this year, a cost that included entry into the

race, which was part of last week’s Anzac Day Cambridge Cycling Festival programme. He was keen to introduce a fun addition to the event under the VCC banner, and festival organiser Sarah Ulmer welcomed it with open arms.

“And what a spectacle it proved to be,” he said later, adding that the public had enjoyed viewing the soap boxes lined up on Victoria Square before the race started. The four heats were arranged according to age, size and ability, then mustered into position. At the end of it all, they were hooked together and towed behind quad bikes back up the hill in a road train formation.

The final race featured 12 soap boxes, with each of the three first place-getters – Jacob Porteous, Chris Holmes-Burr and Gabriel Pidduck – presented with a special Soap Box

Early racers with their trusty ‘pushers’, who gave their charges a starting shove over the first few metres of the course.

The engraved trophies were provided by the Veteran and Vintage Car Club, said Paul, adding: “All runners-up from the heats also received trophies, and all competitors received chocolate fish!”

He thanked everyone involved, particularly the event sponsors - ITM Cambridge, Cambridge Lions, Ebbett Toyota, Blackwood Yamaha, and the Cycling Festival organisers.

“Absolutely, we’ll look at doing it again next year – who knows we might change it up a little!” he said.

Keeping an eye on running costs

By Viv Posselt

Cambridge Community House (CCH) in Shakespeare Street is facing increased demand for its services and is anxious that fundraising for the much-needed new building should not overshadow the need to keep operational costs topped up.

Fundraising to meet the $500,000 cost of the new building has started; CCH general manager Harriet Dixon said around $100,000 had already come in.

“We need to extend our capacity and are very grateful for those donations, but money for the building project goes into that fund and isn’t available for our operational costs,” she said.

“As well as fundraising for the new building, we need to concentrate on the basics and ensure that our services are not being compromised because there may be a split focus between funds for the building and funds for running the House.”

Harriet said annual costs for running CCH were around $450,000. While some of that comes from government and through grants, most of it comes through donations. The demand for services is increasing, with the numbers seeking counselling alone doubling in the past four years.

“Over the last year we saw an additional 16 percent increase, just in counselling.

There has also been an increase in demand across other areas,” she said, adding that more people are seeking help for mental health issues, drug and alcohol addiction, domestic violence problems, budgetary problems and more.

“Much of that increase can be put down to growing awareness. Greater publicity

around mental health issues, for example, means people are better informed and seek help earlier. But our growing population is another reason. Cambridge’s population of 20,200 makes this the largest town in Waipa, and the third largest urban area in the Waikato, after Hamilton and Taupo,” she said. “We are expected to grow by half again, with anticipated growth of 10,100 to a population of 30,300 by the year 2050. We will have to manage that growth efficiently if our services are to meet people’s needs into the future.”

Harriet took on the CCH leadership role last November. The intervening months have seen her launch fundraising for the Cambridge Community House general manager new building, oversee staff changes and Harriet Dixon wants to ensure operational costs are introduce some new initiatives. One of met as demand rises. those supported a new counsellor’s ‘sand play’ therapy, a concept which helps people identify their needs in a non-verbal way.

Harriet said it was already bringing positive st results.

Another is a move to take a financial mentoring programme to Year 13 students at Cambridge High School. The first of those sessions was held at the start of the academic year, and Harriet wants to roll out a similar free service to businesses.

Above all, she wants people to know that CCH focuses on holistic wellbeing – both physical and mental. Programmes are crafted around an individual’s needs, and CCH often co-ordinates with other organisations to achieve the best result.

Huge turnout for Anzac Remembrance service

By Sophie Iremonger

Cambridge residents came from near and far on Anzac Day, April 25, making their way through a cold and foggy morning to attend Anzac services at the Cambridge Town Hall and cenotaph.

Members of the Returned Services Association marched down the main street, led by the Cambridge and Districts Pipe Band, to finish at the town hall for the 9am Anzac Civic Service of Remembrance.

The turnout was so large this year that the crowd flowed out from the town hall and into the plaza. A warm welcome by Mayor Jim Mylchreest started the service that was led by St Andrews Vicar, Reverend Malcolm French.

The keynote speakers, giving strong messages of strength and remembrance, were Cambridge High School’s head girl

Ella Higgins and deputy head girl Charlotte Mitchell and Colonel (Retired) Tony Hill.

The solemn silence of the hall was lifted with beautiful music by the 40-strong Mosaic Waikato Modern Choir, the Cambridge Brass Band and the Cambridge Pipe Band, as well as a breath-taking performance of Hine E Hine

by Soprano Elaine Wogan.

At the end of the service, community groups, service organisations and schools laid wreaths at the cenotaph.

“There was huge attendance for Anzac Day in Cambridge again this year – we estimate over 1500 at the Dawn Service,” said Julie Epps, a member of the Cambridge Community Board’s Anzac organising committee.

“As the sun came up at the Dawn Service, revealing the crowds of people, you could see there were people of all ages, sharing in the service and laying their poppies on the

As dawn broke…

By Nicky Webber

About 500 Cambridge citizens commemorated Anzac Day’s Dawn Service, solemnly standing in the early morning mist remembering our fallen countrymen and relatives. Lest we forget.

A moving ceremony was held in the town square where Rev Canon Adrian Gover led the Dawn Service as the Last Post echoed across the town.

“Loss of young lives during wars has cut deeply. A swathe of loss has cut across our country and through our families. We must never send our young men and women overseas to fight wars again,” he said.

About ten remaining war veterans and other RSA representatives stood to attention in the centre of the square as the guard of honour marched to the cenotaph.

Family members wearing medals awarded to their brave relatives were encouraged to stand with the war veterans and sing the New Zealand and Australian national anthems.

Afterwards the crowd silently walked to the cenotaph, where the New Zealand flag was at half-mast, and placed poppies at the feet of the statue to honour our fallen soldiers.

A memorable and moving experience for everyone and a reminder of the price paid for our democratic freedoms.

cenotaph.

“With everyone coming together for Anzac, the love, community spirit and pride in our community is really wonderful to see. Thank

you to the many people who helped and a special thank you too, to our Cambridge police who have supported us so well during the commemorations.”

An RSA parade down the main street of Cambridge marked the start of the Anzac Civic Service of Remembrance.

Light show one to remember

By Sophie Iremonger

The Cambridge Town Hall exterior was awash with a poignant light show on Wednesday night, April 24, remembering Cambridge’s fallen soldiers.

The photos and names of nearly 100 Cambridge servicemen who lost their lives during World War I were projected onto the town hall one by one in an effort to highlight and honour them as real, local people, who sacrificed their lives for the greater good, often at a very young age.

“It was a horrific number who died, almost 100,” said Julie Epps, a member of the Cambridge Community Board’s Anzac organising committee.

“As the photos scrolled through one by one, it was a

vivid reminder that these men were fathers, sons, brothers, family.”

Epps credited the Cambridge Historical Society for compiling the photos and names of the servicemen, and forming the projection slideshow with the help of sponsorship by Grinter’s Funeral Home. The slideshow is still available to view at the Cambridge Museum.

“Some of the photos were crystal clear; not surprisingly others hadn’t survived the passage of time so well, so it was harder to make out the faces of these young men,” Epps explained. “And for seven of the servicemen, photos haven’t yet been found. We would like to have photos for all the men, to put a face to each of their names. If you are a descendant of one of these seven Cambridge WW1 servicemen and have a photo, please contact the Cambridge

Museum.”

The seven servicemen include F W Chambers, William Fred Keeley, Arthur Gordon Low, J H S Richardson, Samuel James Stewart, Walter Beville Wade and Harry William Wicks.

A free concert by the Cambridge Brass Band and the Hamilton Big Band was held inside the town hall during the light show presentation, with a few Glenn Miller favourites inspiring the crowd to get up and dance.

Concert to feature rare masterworks

St Andrews Church will host a concert next weekend featuring the accomplished trio Hausmusiknz.

Comprised of Rita Paczian (harpsichord and mezzo soprano), John Green (baroque oboe) and Polly Sussex (baroque cello and gamba), the group will perform masterworks which were recently brought to light through Hausmusiknz research.

Led by Rita Paczian, known for her work as the musical director and conductor of the Auckland Bach Choir, the performance will include outstanding works by composers Platti, Lanzetti, Hasse, Bernier, Zipoli, Abel and Steffani – believed to be performed in New Zealand for the first time at the Cambridge concert.

The show, part of the St Andrews Concert Series, kicks off at 3pm on Sunday, May 12. Tickets are $15 at the door, or $5 for students. Entry fee includes afternoon tea afterwards with the chance to meet the trio.

Cambridge News has a double pass to the concert to give away. Just send your full name and contact number to sophie@goodlocal.nz no later than 9am on Tuesday, May 7 to be in the draw.

Public encouraged to try sign language

By Sophie Iremonger

One of New Zealand’s three official languages will be celebrated next week with New Zealand Sign Language Week running May 6-12. Kicking off on Monday, the weeklong initiative aims to celebrate the language as well as raise awareness to the Deaf community and Deaf culture.

New Zealand Sign Language (NZSL) is unique to New Zealand, used by over 24,000 Kiwis daily. In fact, most countries have their own version of sign language. Cambridge resident and NZSL tutor Kelly Quirke is working to encourage more people to learn NZSL, teaching weekly night classes at Cambridge High School during term time.

The mother of two has been using New Zealand Sign Language her entire life, she was born Deaf, and has spent the last 30 years teaching on and off. Kelly’s work at Cambridge High School over the last three

years has generated an increased interest from the public, with classes ranging from beginner to advanced.

“I want to advocate for unlimited communication,” she said. “I want to encourage people to think beyond saying hello and asking how someone is. It’s a good start, but the conversation needs to keep moving.”

A question Kelly said she is often asked is, how long does it take to learn the language?

“You can start communicating straight away, although through practice you become more fluent and the conversation becomes more comfortable,” she said.

Kelly recently decided to set up her own business called “Usign” – deriving from the commonly used sign for the word “you” which is used frequently for referencing in NZSL. The vision, Kelly said, is to bring Deaf people and hearing people together as one community.

CCTV installations this month

Waipa District Council has confirmed the installation of CCTV cameras in Cambridge will begin later this month.

Council said it aims to have contractors installing CCTV cameras in late May in four areas: The Cook St / Shakespeare St roundabout, the Victoria St / Pope Tce / Cook St roundabout, the Victoria St / Fort St intersection, and at the Victoria St / Alpha St roundabout.

The second stage, which council aims will be in June, will see CCTV cameras installed at the Victoria St / Queen St roundabout, at the Victoria St / Hamilton Rd roundabout, and at the Victoria St / Duke St roundabout.

The video coverage will not limited to one particular direction, with cameras able to pan between busy pedestrian areas and roads.

As well as crime prevention, the ability to monitoring traffic at major intersections means the NZ Transport Agency will subsidise the cameras.

Mayor Jim Mylchreest said the cameras would be a real asset to the community.

“My hope is that we see a real savings in graffiti and vandalism costs and our communities feel safer knowing that unacceptable behaviour is now being monitored.”

We are holding an Open Day & New Entrant Parent Information Evening

We invite parents and caregivers of pre-school children to visit our school on

Thursday, 9th May

Open Day 9am - 12:15pm

Senior children will take you on an informative guided tour of the school, whilst sharing their learning journey at Cambridge Primary School. Senior staff will be available for you to talk with and refreshments will be served.

New Entrant Information Evening 6:30 - 8:00pm

Come along to a presentation starting at 6:30pm in Room 15. This will be followed by a tour of the school. Babysitting is available on site – please pre-book by contacting the school office.

Kelly Quirke teaching one of her sign language classes in Cambridge.

“I really want to encourage all people to communicate without limitations,” she explained. “Through the use of facial expression and body language we can find ways to communicate successfully.”

Usign aims to expand the population of people who have a basic understanding of NZSL, offering lessons to individuals, educational organisations and libraries.

NZSL promotes confidence and good brain activity, said Kelly, noting that NZSL is not just for the Deaf community, but all ages and walks of life. If more people can learn it, she said, it would be a positive move for the community.

Kelly and her sister are both Deaf, but didn’t give it much thought growing up. They had a normal life and developed NZSL as their first language, before English. During their school days at a school for the Deaf, sign language was forbidden, essentially forcing it ‘underground’. It wasn’t until the late 1980s

that NZSL was introduced to Deaf schools throughout New Zealand.

Despite the medical view by some that a Deaf person has something ‘wrong’ with them, Kelly said she would rather focus on solutions – like communication, sign language and equality for the Deaf.

“There needs to be better understanding of Deaf people, rather than feeling sorry for Deaf,” she said. “I am not limited by my Deafness. It’s not about what I can’t do, it’s about what I can do. There is no shame in being Deaf. I’m proud of my Deaf culture and language.

“It feels great when I see people in the community meeting and signing and communicating with each other.”

Kelly welcomes locals to come along to a class and give it a try. Classes start at Cambridge High School on Monday, May 6. To find out more, contact Kelly on kelly@ usign.co.nz or text 0275377779.

Local charities receive first grants from Legacy Trust

By Viv Posselt

Three local charities have become the first recipients of grants from Legacy Trust, distributed through Cambridge Funerals.

Each of the three was presented with a $5000 grant at a function in Cambridge on Thursday, May 2. At the time Cambridge News went to press the recipients had not been announced.

They are the first “gifts of significance” officially presented though Legacy Trust and Cambridge Funerals.

When Cambridge Funerals’ former owner Stuart Houchen sold the business to Legacy Funerals last year, it was the latter’s unusual philanthropic ethos that appealed to him - all profits from Legacy Funerals are distributed by the Legacy Trust to local charities. The Trust was established by

Tauranga-based Legacy Funerals’ director Greg Brownless in 2007 and has since donated several million dollars to charities and other worthy causes in the surrounding area.

Cambridge is the Trust’s first foray into another region.

After the sale of the business to Legacy, Stuart Houchen was asked if he would take on the role of Trust ambassador and have a hand in the selection of local charities set to benefit from the profits.

Cambridge Funerals is now headed up by Jono Gibson, who said people were becoming more familiar with the philanthropic aspect Legacy offered through its gifting programme. “They are interested to hear how the profits go back into the community.”

He said smaller donations had been made over the past few months to various recipients, and the gifting of profits would remain flexible in order to meet the changing needs of

the local community.

About 100 people attended Thursday’s event at Henley Hotel (formerly Sarnia Park), which was emcee’d by New Zealand Olympic rower and yachtsman, Rob Waddell, ONZM.

Indoor bowls is back

The new season started in earnest last week and the night’s winners were David Jenkins, Dianne Watts and Ron Greenwood. Second prize went to Bruce Watkinson, Debbie Foster and Peggy Garrett. The season has started with good numbers of players and some early season good bowling, not all of it as planned though.

Cambridge households will start to receive their new wheelie bins this month as the Waipa district’s new recycling service gets closer.

More than 42,000 wheelie bins are being delivered to Waipā households during May and June.

All recycling-rated residential properties will receive two bins: a 240-litre bin for household plastics 1-7, tins, cans, paper and cardboard (collected fortnightly) and a 140-litre bin for glass (collected monthly).

The bins will be in use from July 1, when Waipa District Council’s new recycling service kicks in.

All wheelie bins will have an address printed on a white sticker on the righthand side of the bin which owners can use for identification. They are also electronically chipped and assigned to individual properties so they can be

easily identified by Council.

Barry Bergin, Council’s group manager – service delivery, said it was important householders checked they had the right bins when they arrive to avoid issues later on.

“Residents who do not have the correct wheelie bin should speak with neighbours first or call Council if they cannot be located.

“Those who do not receive their bins within the estimated delivery time shouldn’t be concerned, we have a lot of bins to deliver and we are getting to you.”

Council contractors will be delivering 800 to 1000 wheelie bins per day using four large curtain sider trucks. A yellow information booklet with information about what can and what can’t be recycled will also be delivered with the bins.

Council will release more information

about wheelie bins, including collection days, closer to the time.

The new recycling contract will have no impact on rubbish collection in the Waipā district. Rubbish collection will continue to be a private service, it is not managed

by Council.

Maunga Mission sure to challenge

By Sophie Iremonger

Conquering mountains is both a figurative and literal reality of taking on the Maunga Mission in Cambridge later this month.

In addition to conquering the goals and challenges of taking part in a multisport race, participants will need to quite literally reach the top of Maungatautari Mountain during the event on May 26, making their way up and over the summit from the southern side before paddling 10km down Lake Karapiro to the finish line.

“If you’re a good mountain runner you usually do pretty well,” said Patrick Foley, an eight-time competitor in the “Full Maunga” segment of the Maunga Mission.

“It’s a love hate thing with the mountain, but it probably is the best bit,” he laughed.

“It’s definitely the part you can enjoy and hate the most,” added Patrick’s son Jack, 16, who will be competing in the Full Maunga for the second time this year. “It’s quite rewarding.

Coming off the mountain is definitely the best feeling of the Mission.”

The Full Maunga challenges participants to cycle 32km from Lamb St in Leamington to Tari Rd, Arapuni, where the “Over the Mountain” run begins in Sanctuary Mountain’s southern enclosure. 15km later participants will exit on the other side, through a farm neighbouring the Hicks Rd farm access which closed to the public in December. From there they cycle another 15km to the Horahora Domain, paddling the final

10km to the finish line at The Boatshed Kayaks.

The father-son pair advised newcomers to the event this year to “just enjoy getting across the mountain” and be sure to make the time to train in the lead up to the event.

“The training needs to be smarter training,” explained Jack, who has been balancing the commitments of being a Year 13 International Baccalaureate student with the reality of training four to six hours each week.

“And if there’s a chance to do two different sports at once, like kayaking and cycling, that’s worth a lot more than doing them individually, so doing races like that can be really valuable.”

Next weekend he’s doing just that, taking part in the Waihi Nugget on May 11.

Having already placed first amongst school-age competitors in last year’s Full Maunga Mission, this year Jack’s focus will be on his own ‘personal best’, hoping to finish the event within five hours.

“Last year the reward was just finishing!” he said. “Now that I’ve got more perspective of the whole thing and how it all works, I can be a bit more comfortable setting specific goals.

“Doing the race last year I figured finishing within five hours could be doable. So I’ve got about half an hour or 40 minutes to shave off.”

For Patrick, getting under five hours would be nice, he said, “but to be fair just finishing it would be good,” he laughed.

“I’m actually hoping Jack beats me!

“My first time doing the mission I managed to do four hours, 20 minutes, but I’m just getting older and slower and he’s starting to catch up. He hasn’t beat me in a multisport race yet, but it’s coming, and this would be a good place to do it.”

Rest assured, the Full Maunga isn’t the only option for participants in the Maunga Mission. The “Mini” Maunga requires the same 15km over-the-mountain pass with only a 6km cycle and 1.5km paddle, and the ‘Liquid Stixx’ adventure race is the same as the Mini Maunga but also starts with a 32km cycle up to the mountain. The Fun Run option gives participants the chance to walk or run the mountain pass only, and “King” or “Queen” of the Mountain are the competitive equivalent, racing their way over the mountain. Team options are also available. $10 from every entry will go towards Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari. To find out more about the event visit www. theboatshed.net.nz/maungatautari/.

MORTGAGE MATTERS

What is debt consolidation?

It’s the combining of several short term debts incurring high interest rates into one loan at a lower rate of interest.

Who should consider debt consolidation?

If you own your own home you can consolidate your short term debts into one loan by taking out a new mortgage against your house which is sufficient to pay off all the smaller debts.

Remember - the cheapest money you can borrow is generally housing interest rates with your mortgage.

What are the benefits of debt consolidation?  You have only one repayment each month.  You have to meet the repayment criteria of only one lender - your bank.  Your overall interest rate will be lower - compare 4.25% on your mortgage with up to 22% on your credit card debt.  The length of your term can be structured to suit your needs.

Let me give you an example:A short term debt of $30,000 made up of two hire purchases, two credit cards and a personal loan may cost $1,200 per month in repayments.

Consolidate this debt into a home mortgage and the repayments will come down to approx $180 per month over a 30 year term. Pay $580 per month over a five year term and the repayments are reduced by more than half and the $30,000 debt can be paid off in full in five years!

Know your real estate agency

Anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing act Local real estate agencies have embraced the new AML laws and Gerda Venter of LJ Hooker believes there are huge advantages to having them. “If you look at the stats, it is actually quite scary how much money laundering is going on worldwide. Unfortunately, New Zealand is a soft target as we are so trusting.”

LJ Hooker agents have phone apps and a computer generated system to manage the legalities and to self audit. And to ease the process for clients, they hand out an information booklet at appraisal time.

There is now a legal requirement for agents to obtain several different forms of identification from vendors prior to listing homes or showing anyone through. “There is a need for the agents to then forward the identification through to our AML system to have it verified. Once this has been approved agents can go ahead and list the home and place it on the market,” explains Suzanne Kirk of Cambridge Real Estate. As banks and solicitors have been educating clients for some time, clients are generally very good at complying with requirements.

From an agency perspective, the new laws do entail more work. “We are required to keep records, ensure people are genuine and who they say they are, and inform the Government on who is buying and selling,” says Shirley Haycock of Powerhouse Realty. “The act is a sign of the times. As people are so transient, it’s the Government’s way of keeping an eye on transactions from purchasers here and overseas.”

While this may be more time-consuming, agencies and clients realise it is law and must be adhered to. “It’s become part of our daily routine,” adds Kirk.

Listing with a real estate agent vs private sale

Although there are numerous reasons for listing with an agency, the main ones are attributed to industry experience and education.

Agents are trained to deal with the many legal and industry pitfalls that can occur. They also act as a buffer between curious onlookers and genuine buyers. Intense area knowledge, aided by market statistics, ensure they give accurate price guides.

This is where private sellers can

make mistakes, states Gerda Venter, LJ Hooker. “List too high and you do not sell; list too low and you undersell.”

A good marketing plan and strategic decisions about the method of sale, often result in higher than expected prices.

Agencies also have established professional network systems, each other, as well as with banks, brokers and solicitors. This opens up another avenue of getting more buyers through

the property.

Experienced agents are savvy negotiators capable of pushing the limits to get optimum results. They have the know-how to take care of the paperwork and legal requirements, are not emotionally invested in the properties they sell and have to adhere to the REA’s strict rules. And with access to large client databases, they have a pool of active buyers to tap into.

FRIDAY MAY 3, 2019

Know your real estate agency

Selling your own property Vendors selling privately are usually motivated by the money that can be saved on commission. But often they fail to grasp the intricacies and understand the risks involved in a real estate transaction.

Disclosure is a big thing. Vendors are obliged to share all relevant information about their property to buyers. These vary but can include weather-tightness issues, unconsented alterations to their property, boundary issues and the impact of proposed developments. Failure to disclose any issues can put vendors in breach of the terms of the agreement they have with the buyer.

This means the sale could fall over or the buyer could seek compensation through the court.

While an easy market may increase the number of private sellers, a more challenging market is best handled by an experienced professional who knows the ins and outs of the industry, is a competent negotiator and marketing strategist.

Moreover, an agent has access to a vast network of potential buyers as well as established systems and marketing avenues.

Vendors who sell privately are often left wondering why their home doesn’t sell,

especially when the people who have viewed it say they love it. This, states Alan Vosper of Vosper Realty, is due to a reluctance to provide honest feedback for fear of insulting the vendor. “It’s much easier to talk to an agent. Buyers are more comfortable going through a third party.”

Vendors can also find it extremely hard to hear and act on negative feedback about their own home. This becomes even more difficult in a town the size of Cambridge where there is every chance the owner may know the prospective buyer.

Selling privately also raises concerns

around the negotiating proficiency of vendors. Do they have the confidence and know-how to negotiate a top price for their property, which, in all likelihood, is their most valuable asset?

Vendors are under the impression that selling is easy and that real estate agents charge too much money, says Gerda Venter of LJ Hooker.

“The reality is that we are always at risk to put in hours of work and never get paid.

Whatever we get is less GST, less 33% tax, less franchise fees and then it is shared with the company.”

What is a multi-offer situation?

A multi-offer process happens when more than one buyer makes a written offer on a property. Offers in writing define a multi-offer situation. A real estate agent presents all written offers to the vendor to consider. This situation is advantageous to the seller as they then get to choose the offer that best works from them.

The process is all above board; there is no game playing.

The process develops almost to a form of tender. Everyone has an equal opportunity to be the successful buyer because they are encouraged to put their best offer on the table.

And it’s not always a case of top price wins. What appeals to vendors can vary. A buyer who may offer less but has ready finance can come out trumps.

From a buyer’s perspective, it requires a best-foot-forward approach because it may be the only opportunity they get to make their offer.

There are strict criteria and processes for real estate agencies to follow to ensure the best result is achieved without conflict. Agents can guide buyers through the process and answers any concerns.

Know your real estate agency

The importance of marketing It’s the old adage: you can’t sell a secret. On a scale of 1-10, marketing generally ranks as a 10 in the process of sale.

And it’s got to be quality all the way, from photos through to method of sale, price and the way a property is presented to the buying public. Targeting the right buyer market is also critical.

Marketing literature, website and video have a significant impact on buyers. Presentation is everything. Vendors wanting to achieve a premium price for their property will understand that marketing is an investment.

Any good investment will generate a return. Money invested in high quality marketing at the outset will drive up sales values, generate interest and increase the number of potential buyers.

These days, the majority of buyers use a combination of newspapers and the internet to begin their house hunting

quest. As a result, agencies have an active print and online presence and also use social media as part of their marketing strategy.

The aim is to reach the widest pool possible and create a competitive environment as this enhances the chance of attaining the highest possible price for a property.

Research has shown a direct relationship between a high marketing budget and a resultant higher number of buyers.

A carefully thought out and strategically targeted marketing campaign is essential if you want to maximise competition between buyers.

Although not everyone can afford a huge marketing outlay, a savvy marketing agent will know how to get the best bang for your buck.

Ideally, marketing programmes should be tailor-made to suit each property. Every home is different and should be showcased to reflect its individual attributes.

What are the most effective ways of marketing property?

From a vendor’s point of view, it is important to know that not one marketing plan fits all, says Peter Tong of More Real Estate Ltd. “As every property has its own features and unique stories, so does a tailor-made campaign and the choice of the best way to market each property – be it with a price, or negotiation, deadline sale, auction or tender.” More-Re’s most recent example saw a property marketed with an asking price receive over 1800 views in the first seven days of marketing on Trade Me alone,

Lily Hooker

notwithstanding the connections on social media and newspaper features.

“The subtleties of the photography, script and marketing message are all important to achieve maximum exposure, which leads to the right buyer discovering their new home.”

While much depends on the market condition and the property, most agencies subscribe to a mixed media approach. Powerhouse Realty, for example, strives to cover all bases.

Shirley Haycock says that despite digital media being strong these days,

their clients still like flicking through the newspaper and reading print ads.

Recent years has seen the global emergence of digital real estate marketing. Social media platforms are seen as simple, engaging and cost-effective marketing tools. In this technology-driven age, it’s crucial for home sellers and agents to remain active on social media in order to nurture interest in newly listed properties. Real estate voyeurism will only continue to expand its channels across the web.

Marketing strategies A marketing programme largely depends on the climate of the market at the time of listing. There are times when auction may be best, and times when other methods, such as price by negotiation, fixed price or tender, are more suitable.

Real estate agencies study the market and agents can advise what the best strategy is likely to be for your home.

All methods have pros and cons.

Auction is effective when there are plenty of cash buyers about. PBN (price by negotiation) is often regarded as a better alternative in a quieter market. This method invites prospective buyers to make an offer on a property and to negotiate with the seller on price. Two types of offers are

available. Unconditional is a straightforward offer to buy according to the terms set out in the contract. A conditional offer to buy has conditions attached, which may include arranging finance, a builder's report, a LIM report or solicitor approval.

If an offer is made, which the seller doesn't accept, the vendor can countersign the offer and the salesperson can continue negotiations this way until the buyer and seller agree.

Other methods, such as fixed price and tender, are further options. An agent will discuss these with vendors and recommend the best strategy according to how the market is performing at the time.

Staging- part of your marketing programme Increasingly popular, staging your home can completely transform the feel and first impression of your home. Some people opt for partial staging, for example swapping out their old lounge suite for something much more modern to maximise the space – while others go for a total contents replacement, packing up their furniture and replacing all of it with props from a company that specialises in staging.

How far you go is up to you, however even making relatively small changes can make a big difference to the ‘wow’ factor of your home and attract a premium

price.

You can also hire luxurious potted plants to make your home come alive, for a reasonably small cost.

And you can give your place a bit more pizazz by making your bed up with extra cushions and a throw – match the colours with a piece of art to make the room “pop”.

However you go about it, think about setting yourself up for success by making sure that your home gives a great first impression, winning the hearts of potential buyers as soon as they step over the threshold.

First loss sees Reds slip to third on ladder

By Josh Easby

Cambridge have slipped to third place in football’s Northern League second division after the Reds lost their unbeaten run in the competition.

The Reds lost 2-1 to league newcomers Unimount Bohemian Celtic but showed tremendous grit after losing skipper Nathan Claridge to a first-half red card when the game was scoreless.

Once again, spectators at a sunny John Kerkhof Park were treated to a tense, hard-fought Lotto NRFL game decided by a single goal.

This time, Cambridge were on the wrong end of a tight scoreline and with Hamilton rivals Claudelands Rovers winning against Northland FC, the Reds have slipped from the top of the league table.

Cambridge’s starting line-up was depleted through injuries to first and second string goalkeepers Patrick Steele and Fraser Nichols, and experienced defenders Patrick Woodlock and Kieran Hills.

That gave opportunities to ‘keeper Patrick Espin, Zach Mayo and Marcelo Sosa, making his first start of the season.

Cambridge started the better of the two sides and forwards Dylan Blair, Josh Clarkin and Callum MacLeod found plenty of space among the Celtic defenders.

MacLeod found the net midway through the first half but his effort was ruled offside.

With half-time approaching, MacLeod was brought down on the touchline by Celtic captain Richard Murphy.

In the kerfuffle that followed, referee Nadia Browning sent off Cambridge’s Claridge.

Despite being reduced to 10, Cambridge flew at Celtic for the remaining minutes of the half, and went ahead three minutes into added time.

Leading scorer Blair lost his marker at a corner and deftly headed the ball inside the near post.

In the second half, the younger and fitter Cambridge kept the Aucklanders on the back foot and the Reds went close with efforts from MacLeod and Blair.

But with six minutes remaining, Celtic got their first real chance of the game and Craig Todd put it away to draw

level.

The goal created urgency for both teams and the final minutes of play were frantic.

The game turned in added time when Josh Clarkin was injured in a collision with a Celtic player, leaving him unable to finish the game.

Down to nine men, the Reds tried to defend a free kick but Celtic’s Eoghan Murphy got a touch and the match was lost.

In the early game, Cambridge’s reserve team lost 3-1 to Celtic’s second string side.

Cambridge took an early lead through an Andrew Taylor header but the Aucklanders finished the game stronger after the game was tied 1-1 at the interval.

Meanwhile, in the WaiBOP Championship, a fourthminute goal from forward Jason Szabo was enough for Cambridge to secure three league points against Claudelands Rovers at Galloway Park.

Cambridge has experienced an inconsistent start to the championship, winning twice and losing twice in their games so far.

The win at Claudelands provided the team’s first clean sheet of the season and the side will be hoping to back up with another winning performance when they host Tauranga Blue Rovers in the main game at John Kerkhof Park this Saturday (2.45pm kick off).

With the men’s first and second teams playing in Auckland – they meet Albany United in a Lotto NRFL double header – the championship game will be the main attraction for home ground spectators.

In other games, the Cambridge D1s crashed out of the Waikato Cup in the opening round, losing 6-1 to old rivals the NUSC Deciles.

Cambridge got off to a poor start and trailed 4-0 at halftime.

A goal from last year’s leading scorer David O’Donnell helped a better second spell for the Cambridge visitors.

In Waikato Division 4, Cambridge D2s lost 5-2 to Eastern City at John Kerkhof Park. Andrew Thomas and Chris Hill scored for Cambridge in the first half, sending the sides into the break tied at 2-2.

However, City proved the stronger team in the second

half.

Last Sunday, the Cambridge women’s team lost their Waikato Division 1 match by 4-1 at Tokoroa, despite taking a first half lead through Caitlyn Varcoe. The Hill Homes Player of the Day was Georgia Bellamy-Hill.

The women play Waikato Unicol on Sunday at John Kerkhof Park, kicking off at 11am.

Hautapu stay top – now for Te Awamutu Craig Stevenson’s Hautapu goes into tomorrow Waikato Breweries Shield clash with Te Awamutu holding a four-point buffer at the top of the premier ladder.

Both clubs were involved in matches where half centuries were posted last weekend – Hautapu beat Hamilton Marist in a game which saw almost a century of points while Te Awamutu Sports fell 50-10 at Hamilton Old Boys.

Hautapu accounted for traditional rivals Marist 54-40 to stay on top of the table in the Waikato Premier Rugby Competition.

In an entertaining match at Memorial Park Marist jumped out to an early 7-0 lead off the back of a Hautapu error in the first two minutes.

Hautapu struck back quickly with a converted try and that would be the last Marist would see of the lead.

The Hautapu forward pack took control of this match from the outset, dominating set pieces, especially driving play from lineouts which Marist was unable to combat.

A steady stream of tries followed with an excellent goal kicking display by first five Coby Miln who converted seven out of eight tries.

Marist were able to stay in this game with an attacking backline, pouncing on any Hautapu errors. The outside backs were elusive and scored some excellent tries themselves especially late in the game.

In all reality the game was Hautapu’s by then, and two late tries left a score line that

somewhat flattered the visitors.

Best of a good team effort from Hautapu were outstanding flanker Tom Florence, lock Alex Thompson, who was a dominant figure, midfielder Paula (Bola) Tuitavuki Mahe, who breached the line often, along with the goalkicking and direction Miln.

Captain and No 8 Jono Armstrong was in the thick of play for the entire game and led the team well.

When the team heads to Te Awamutu this weekend to take on neighbours Te Awamutu Sports the Waipa Trophy will be at stake in what is always a keenly contested game.

Development result The Premier B competition has a clear gap between the top six and bottom four and Hautapu, in the latter category, faced a Marist side which had won four from five.

The visitors led all the way, eventually winning 42-30 - a high scoring affair which set the stage for the main game.

Marist led 14-0 after 12 minutes and was 28-3 up before the home side rallied to trail 28-10 at the break then claw back to 28-25.

The visitors then bagged another brace of tries and eventually finished 12 points ahead as Hautapu scored the last try of the match.

The clash between Te Awamutu and Hautapu in the Premier A division is at Albert Park at 2.45pm on Saturday.

Leamington put Frankton to the sword Leamington stayed in touch with the Waikato Division 1A leaders with a resounding 47-3 win over Frankton last Saturday and will be favourites again tomorrow when they travel to play Te Rapa.

Competition leaders Ohaupo stayed top with a 34-31 win over while Matamata won the battle between second and third, beating Southern United 38-12.

Leamington are fourth following a big win – but they were made to work hard by Frankton.

The visitors turned up with one of the best Frankton teams Leamington has seen for a few years and the host were made to work hard to finally get a penalty to take the lead 3 nil in the first 10 minutes.

Frankton kept hold of the ball for the next 10 before evening up the score with a penalty in front of the post.

The next 20 minutes saw Leamington with ball in hand and create a try started with a beautiful inside ball from Todd King to hooker come physio Marinus du Preez to score. Ryan Eureti converted. Drew Bootten, Todd King and Phil Perry crossed the line to take the score to 27-3 at half time.

The second half saw Frankton trying to cross Leamington line, but the defence was too strong and when Leamington had the ball in hand, they scored out wide with Chris Leofo touching down in the corner.

From then on Leamington kept putting the pressure on

Action from Saturday’s Under 85kg clash between Leamington and University.

with Lock Matt Wallace finding himself wide on the blind to score in the corner. Leamington weren’t going to stop there and worked hard on the line with the forwards and flicked the ball out to close to the edge of the out-line for Chris Leofo to tip toe in to score the final try of the day.

Player of the day was Nick Lyall in his first game for the club.

Senior B Leamington scored a 34-0 win over Frankton.

A tough first half saw Leamington edge ahead 7-0, and the game opened up in the second spell as Andrew Brown scored a hattrick and Karl Bolton and Vaughan Kelly also cross the line. Brown converted two tries and collected the player of the day award.

“Uni hosted Leamington at Memorial Park, Cambridge on Saturday. Both sides were looking for the first W of the season and came out of the sheds firing. The first 20 minutes was an arm wrestle with both teams making good early meters, before Jesse Warwick got Leamington’s first points with a penalty from 35m out. Leamington followed that up with a 30-minute onslaught which saw Reid McBeth scoring twice, Jesse Warwick, Jamie Harding, and Thomas Davies all getting tries.

Uni came back with a great 15 minutes of play to score twice out wide, before Nick Bolger again showed great

vision and pace to put Shaun Willetts over in the corner. Scott Kelvin rounded off the game with a 60m solo effort, beating four defenders with great pace and a solid fend. Final score Leamington 46-Uni 10.

Colts A strong first half set Leamington Regal Agriculture Colts up for a victory over the Hamilton Boys High Black team.

Half time saw Leamington ahead 24-5. HBHS hit back with a couple of good tries Leamington finished well ahead 34-19.

Player of the day was Thomas Fraser.

Winter Warmth FEATURE

CAMBRIDGE NEWS | 31

ARE YOU READY FOR WINTER?

Wood pellet fires Promoted as the super-fire of the future, the wood pellet fire is fast becoming the heating option of choice in many Kiwi homes. Wood pellet fires are safe, eco-friendly and easy to use. They burn efficiently and have zero carbon emissions.

Their comfortable warmth, stylish looks and convenience contribute to their growing popularity.

Wood pellet fires run on pellet fuel.

This renewable fuel is made from residue and leftovers (sawdust and wood shavings) from the forestry and timber industry.

Sawdust, once considered a waste product which was sent to landfill, has found new life as wood pellets. The sawdust used is clean, untreated and compressed. New Zealand's well managed forests are sustainable and renewable, making pellet fuel far less likely to become scarce or prone to big price hikes, unlike traditional fossil fuels such as coal, oil or gas.

EECA Energwise says burning wood from sustainable forests is carbon neutral. “While trees are growing, they capture carbon dioxide from the air. This carbon dioxide is released either when the wood is burnt, or when the tree dies and rots. While some emissions are produced in transporting and processing the wood, this is only a very small amount per unit of heat.”

Another advantage of wood pellet fires is that they are easily controlled. Most units light automatically and have a remote control, thermostat and timer. Pellet burners can produce similar amounts of heat as conventional wood burners but you can control the

heat output so you're less likely to overheat the room. This high efficiency makes them a great economical solution.

And there is no hassle around chopping wood, carrying it indoors and having messy fireplaces. Wood pellets provide the ambience of a flame, without the hard work. They also good from a healthier-home point of view.

Wood pellet fires are widely available throughout New Zealand from many hardware stores and specialist heating suppliers. Bags of pellet fuel can be purchased from local retailers. They come in 10kg, 15kg or 20kg and can also be bought in bulk.

Why is insulation recommended?

Nearly 60 per cent of New Zealand’s homes don’t have enough ceiling and underfloor insulation, and even more have little or no wall insulation.

Take a good look at your insulation before investing in heat solutions. Good ceiling and underfloor insulation will make a big difference to the efficiency of your heat pump. If your home is cold and draughty, the heat pump will have to work harder to keep the interiors warm. This means it will be more costly to run.

Good building airtightness makes a home easier to heat, so plug up draughts. Even well-insulated homes can have draughts. Draughts make a heat pump work harder as it has to constantly replace cold air with hot air.

ARE YOU READY FOR WINTER?

The versatility of heat pumps Heat pumps are not only an energy efficient and convenient way to heat your home, they are useful all through the year.

They provide instant heat over winter and can keep you home cool on hot summer days.

Heat pumps are easier and cheaper to run than an electric heater, and more environmentally friendly.

There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to choosing a heat pump. It’s important to choose the right model for the job and get a fully trained

professional to install it.

The size of the area you wish to heat must be taken into account.

If your home is well insulated it may require a smaller heat pump, which is more economical to run.

Select a highly-efficient model by

looking at the Energy Star mark.

Opt for a well-known brand and buy from a reputable supplier.

Check the length of the warranty on parts and labour. Ask your installer to show you how to use your heat pump and remote properly.

The heat pump is not a new technology; it has been used around the world for decades.

Refrigerators and air conditioners are both common examples of this technology. In fact, a heat pump works by the same principle as a refrigerator, only in reverse.

Heat pumps transfer heat by circulating a substance called a refrigerant through a cycle of evaporation and condensation.

A compressor pumps the refrigerant between two heat exchanger coils. In one coil, the refrigerant is evaporated at low pressure and absorbs heat from its surroundings.

The refrigerant is then compressed

en route to the other coil, where it condenses at high pressure. At this point, it releases the heat it absorbed earlier in the cycle.

Unlike normal electric heaters, which simply turn electricity into heat, heat pumps use electricity to move heat.

This makes them the most efficient way of using electricity for heating.

The heat pump cycle is fully reversible, and heat pumps can provide year-round climate control for your home – heating in winter and cooling and dehumidifying in summer. Since the ground and air outside always contain some heat, a heat pump can supply heat to a house even on cold winter days.

How a heat pump works

During Winter, a heat pump pulls heat from outside and moves it into your home. During extreme cold weather, the heat pump will use a backup heat source.

with Jan Bilton

Autumn appeal

Pour into a saucepan. Add the pineapple juice, lemon rind and juice Vinegar, sugar, chilli flakes, salt and turmeric. Bring to the boil.

Simmer for about 5 minutes.

Combine the cornflour and water until smooth. Stir into the pineapple mixture cooking until thick.

Serve warm or at room temperature. Can be refrigerated in a covered jar for up to a week. Makes about 2 1/2 cups.

I’ve only viewed one of the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy but our overseas guests always rave about visiting Hobbiton which is just a 30 minute drive from our home. We recently decided a visit to the 506 hectares of movie set and working farm was well overdue. And we weren’t disappointed.

It’s a magical world. Not a house in sight — just colourful round doorways to 44 Hobbit Holes. In summer more than 3000 tourists a day meander the walkways but due to admirable organization the Shire never appears crowded.

Our guide Heather explains that each year the staff compete in teams to grow the largest pumpkin. The heaviest to date weighed in at over 105 kilograms. “It’s a good thing we all love pumpkin soup,” she laughs.

At the Green Dragon Inn — a faithful reproduction of the inn featured in the movies — one can stop for a complimentary beverage and/or enjoy a meal. Hobbits are hungry people but our lavish lunch would more than satisfy the most ravenous guest.

Salmon, baked ham, sauces, salads, rye bread, bowls of mixed roasted vegetables followed by apple and cherry crumble — all for just four average-sized adults. I thought that if the Hobbits ate like this every day they should have been the size of All Black forwards.

FRESH PINEAPPLE PICKLE FOR HAM Recipe inspired by a visit to Hobbiton. Great served with baked ham.

2 cups peeled and diced fresh pineapple 2 large cloves garlic, chopped 1/2 cup pineapple juice finely grated rind and juice 1 lemon 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar 1 cup sugar 1-2 teaspoons chilli flakes 1/2 teaspoon each: salt, ground turmeric Thickening: 3 tablespoons cornflour 4 tablespoons water Place the pineapple and garlic I a food processor and blend until coarsely chopped.

JAN’S POACHED SALMON WITH ASIAN PLUM SAUCE

Garnish with the ginger, chilli and coriander. Serve the sauce on the side. Serves 2.

APPLE & CHERRY CRUMBLE

Excellent served with old-fashioned custard.

Crumble: 1/4 cup each: ground almonds, gluten-free or plain flour, desiccated coconut, brown sugar, coarsely chopped nuts 1 teaspoon mixed spice 75g butter, chopped Filling: 4 (500g) apples, peeled, cored and diced 1 cup fresh, frozen or canned pitted cherries 1/4 cup sugar 1 teaspoon each: mixed spice, grated lemon rind 1 tablespoon lemon juice Combine the ingredients for the crumble, rubbing the butter in with your finger tips. Place aside.

Preheat the oven to 190°C. Combine the prepared apples and cherries and place in a baking dish or 22cm frying pan suitable for oven-baking. Sprinkle the fruit with the sugar, mixed spice, lemon rind and juice. Spoon the crumble evenly over the top.

Bake for about 30 minutes until the filling is bubbling and the crumble golden. Serves 6.

Poaching the salmon in ginger water cuts the richness.

Asian Plum Sauce: 2 tablespoons soy sauce 4 tablespoons plum sauce eg Barkers 1 teaspoon each: grated root ginger, sesame oil Salmon: water for poaching 3cm knob root ginger, peeled and julienned 300g salmon fillet, pin bones removed Garnish: thinly sliced chilli pepper, coriander leaves Combine the ingredients for the sauce and place aside.

Fill a medium frying pan with water and add the root ginger. Bring to the boil. Remove from the heat and add the salmon, skin-side down. Cover and stand for 5 minutes until just cooked.

Using a slotted fish slice, remove the salmon to a serving plate.

Set in postwar Germany in 1946, Rachael Morgan (Keira Knightley) arrives in the ruins of Hamburg in the bitter winter, to be reunited with her husband Lewis (Jason Clarke), a British colonel charged with rebuilding the shattered city. But as they set off for their new home, Rachael is stunned to discover that Lewis has made an unexpected decision: They will be sharing the grand house with its previous owners, a German widower (Alexander Skarsgård) and his troubled daughter. In this charged atmosphere, enmity and grief give way to passion and betrayal.

Fred Flarsky (Seth Rogen) is a free-spirited journalist with an affinity for trouble. Charlotte Field (Charlize Theron) is one of the most influential women in the world, a powerhouse diplomat with a talent for...well, mostly everything. The two have nothing in common, except that she was his babysitter and childhood crush. When Fred unexpectedly reconnects with Charlotte, he charms her with his self-deprecating humour. As she prepares to make a run for the Presidency, Charlotte impulsively hires Fred as her speechwriter. Sparks fly as their unmistakable chemistry leads to a round-theworld romance and a series of unexpected and dangerous incidents.

FRIDAY MAY 3, 2019

Walker on track for Tokyo Sarah Walker has made an excellent start to her Tokyo Olympic bid, finishing fifth in the grand final of the UCI BMX World Cup second round in Manchester.

After finishing ninth overall in round one on Saturday, Walker enjoyed a consistently high level of racing throughout the competition, including a victory in her quarterfinal and ultimately fifth in the final won by France’s Valentino Manon.

It has lifted the London Olympic silver medallist into the top-10 on the UCI Supercross rankings, leading the way with her new TVE Sport professional team.

“I am relieved and excited and proud of the effort over the weekend,” said Walker. “I was especially pleased with the quarterfinal win which had such a strong field including the winner on the first day.

“Overall I had great gates on both days and it’s really cool.”

Walker said she had enjoyed her biggest and most consistent training block over the New Zealand summer until a crash last month kept her off the bike.

“I was cautious coming over here and had not jumped until I got to Manchester. So I was thrilled that I felt great and I was able to handle all those nerves.

“I am excited to head to Papendal now for the next two rounds. It is outdoors and a big track but it is also one we have trained on a lot and where my TVE Sport team is based.

The thing is I know I was going faster a month ago before the training crash so I know I will be faster.”

Rounds three and four of the UCI BMX Supercross World Cup will take place on May 11 and 12 at Papendal, Netherlands.
