Fieldays fever

Fieldays organisers expect about 130,000 visitors will have helped generate about $500 million in revenue and toured the Mystery Creek site by the time the gates close tomorrow. Kyra Rogerson (pictured) was there from the start, pictured with Poppy the goat at the Fieldays petting zoo, Mobile Farm Animal Visits. Light drizzle greeted the first Fieldays arrivals on Wednesday – and those who are regulars will have noticed a strong police presence. We find out why on Page 3.

Police numbers boosted for Fieldays

Fieldays 2019 kicked off at Mystery Creek on Wednesday with tens of thousands of visitors through the gate.

The four-day event still has two days left – running today, the busiest day of all, and 8am – 5pm tomorrow.

Waikato Police have increased their presence at Fieldays this year following the Christchurch terror attacks earlier this year. “There’s way more numbers than there normally would be this year,” said Te Awamutu Community Constable Ryan Fleming. “Unfortunately that’s just the new New Zealand we’re now living in.”

Despite the extra safety measures, Fleming said generally police only deal with lost property and lost children at Fieldays.

In brief

Dr June Fisk, known for her life of service, died on May 30, just before marking her 93rd birthday. A private cremation has been held, but there will be a function celebrating her life tomorrow at 3pm at the Cambridge Lyceum Club. We will carry an obituary on Dr Fisk in next week’s Cambridge News.

Further to the Mayor’s comments (Letters June 7), there are three types of benefits super for couples, super for singles and the Supported Living Allowance for the under 65’s, living in council pensioner units.

There is a considerable difference in benefit payment amounts between the Super and the Supported Living Allowance Council should, if genuinely concerned for their welfare give serious consideration to reducing their rental cost.

The new council policy removed the under 65’s from gaining access to council housing, but in doing so gave existing under 65’s the right to stay housed in council homes.

Council knows full well what level of benefit each tenant receives and what maximum amount of accommodation supplement is payable to them. information is all open to anyone on MSD website, including the tax payable.

Furthermore, council has a Biennial Declaration and/or Change of Circumstances form for all tenants to fill in.

This is a comprehensive assets and income form, so council knows exactly what tenants’ income and assets are.

One thing the Mayor got right is that these units are not rate payer subsidised they are self-funding. (Abridged) Bernie Frost Cambridge

With over 130,000 visitors expected to attend the event across the week, the nearly one thousand exhibitors and businesses directly involved in Fieldays will likely generate $490 million in sales revenue.

Cambridge resident Marion Rogerson of Scotsman’s Valley is a fourth-year petting zoo exhibitor at Fieldays with Mobile Farm Animal Visits and said one of her favourite aspects of Fieldays was seeing children interact with the animals.

“Because when most people come here their biggest question is, where are the animals? It’s Fieldays, it’s about farming so it’s pretty neat for the kids to be able to come and hang with the animals for a The early-birds at Fieldays on Wednesday were out in force. while.”

Artisan crafters to feature at market

A new market will be on at Absolute Coffee House on Sunday.

The Absolute Artisan event started as a simple idea

by Cambridge resident Erin Bracken.

“I have thought for a long time that Cambridge needed a regular local artisan market to showcase the amazingly talented artists we have in our area,” she explained.

“Through a conversation with Mel [Teesdale] from Absolute Coffee House, the opportunity presented itself.

I sent out an expression of interest message and was amazed at the response.”

Now all set to run on Sunday, from 10am to 2pm and the event will be a regular feature at the Alpha St café garden every third Sunday of the month.

The community event will feature hand-crafted goods by local artisans, as well as live music and food. Items on sale will include jewellery, boutique fashion for women, organic rubs, pastes and infused oils, ceramics, upcycles bags and aprons, crochet and yarn products and soaps.

“From time to time we

will have artists at work so people can see creations taking form,” said Erin.

“Craftspeople love to share their passion, they often find it hard to calm the brain unless they are creating!

“I also wanted an opportunity for young upcoming musicians to have a spot where they could get exposure, feedback and

experience.”

Musicians who have signed up to feature at the market include Joseph Sturdy, Connor Quickfall, Aaron Leonard Hughes, Dennis McCaskill and musical group Nate, Rowan and Rachael.

To find out more about the event, email ebrackennz@ gmail.com.

The new artisan market will be held outside Absolute Coffee House every third Sunday of the month.

Summerset announces Cambridge move

By Sophie Iremonger

Summerset Holdings has bought eight hectares of land in Cambridge to build a new retirement village.

Developers are planning 200 homes, 70 apartments, a rest home, hospital-level care and a dementia unit on the Laurent Rd site.

The company is entering an already crowded market – but is confident of the pending demand for the village.

Chief Executive Julian Cook said Waipa’s 75-plus population is set to increase by 45% over the next decade and Summerset had been looking for suitable investments in

the Cambridge area for some time.

The 22-year old New Zealand company, which in February announced a $98.6 million underlying profit for the financial year, has bought 10 sites around the country in the last 18 months.

It already owns 26 villages, either completed or in development.

The company is awaiting Overseas Investment Office approval for the Cambridge land purchase, which should come by the end of the year.

The company could not provide a completion date, but Cook said a typical Summerset village took between 4-5 years to complete once construction commenced.

The construction phase will see the company invest $150 million and employ more than 300 people at the Cambridge north site. Cook said the company’s construction management division would try to source construction supply chain members locally where possible. Up to 40 further permanent jobs will be created when the village opens.

Summerset’s lower northern regional operations manager Cecilia Storm, who will manage the Cambridge Summerset village after its completion, said the project was especially close to her heart having been a Cambridge resident for eight years.

Retiring in style…

The arrival of Summerset underlines the growing popularity of retiring in style.

Cambridge has several retirement villages and aged care facilities, including two Lifecare hospital facilities, the Te Awa Lifecare Village, Raeburn Rest Home, Oakdale Rest Home, Lauriston Park Retirement Village, and resthomes and villages provided by Resthaven and Selwyn St Andrews.

Cambridge Oaks isn’t technically a retirement village but a townhouse complex for those over 50. It’s 80 percent sold with residents in 100 homes already, and due to be finished by the end of next year.

Companies are now seeing a demand from senior citizens who want to invest in a resort-style life-style.

Outside Cambride, the Tamahere Eventide Home and Village, under construction, will add 24 ensuited hospital rooms and 16 apartments by December, followed by 18 more apartments and 20 villas to be constructed after the completion of the Waikato Expressway. The company also plans to add 80 villas and 20 apartments to its Matangi home and hospital, Atawhai Assisi.

Cambridge Grey Power President Val Massey said she was pleased to see Cambridge gaining infrastructure to support its growing number of retirees.

“We do need them, after all some of our existing (retirement villages) are running out of room. We’re only going to get more older people, more than what we have enough buildings for.”

Cambridge Grey Power is growing too, with just under 400 members and new members joining nearly every week.

“We’ve got members who live in retirement villages and they love it,” said Val. “They’re brilliant for older people, it gives them a sense of security and a lot of their home maintenance is taken care of.”

Having looked into moving into a retirement village herself, Val said they weren’t exactly for everyone.

“From what I could see it would cost more to live in a retirement village than an average home, and I like a bit of space, so it wasn’t for me.

“I was warned by one friend that you’ve got to know exactly what you want if you go into it, because if you change your mind you’ve already lost the value of your home in selling. It’s not just the living costs, it’s the actual loss you make. I would advise getting financial advice first so you know what it’s going to cost.”

St Kilda village residents Alan and Joan Parker said they had no regrets in selling their home of 32 years in Pauanui and moving to the Cambridge retirement village four years ago.

“We left with no regrets, just good memories,” said Joan. “The

“For me it’s just a huge privilege to think I can bring something back to Cambridge and be part of it, something which I know will really serve the community well,” she said. “It’s not only looking after 70-plus residents, it’s looking after the community too, providing job opportunities as well as the sense of security that your loved ones are taken care of really well.”

Cecilia confirmed people could sign up as residents as soon as resource consent was completed.

For now, those interested can email their contact details to marketing@ summerset.co.nz and Summerset will be in touch with more details.

biggest thing was downsizing, that was hard.”

“But it’s amazing what you could do without when you get down to it,” added Alan. “The op shops must do really well!”

“It was a good time to clean out all the debris of our life and start again with some fresh stuff, and some old stuff too,” said Joan. “Here the grass is cut, we don’t have to garden if we don’t want to, and it’s just time to do what you want. And it’s a place to make friends of similar age and interests.

“To some extent we were looking to become part of a family community, like the early days in Pauanui, and that’s what we’ve found here.”

The pair said they were happy to see Cambridge’s number of retirement villages growing, so long as other demographics follow suit. “It is good, provided the whole area doesn’t consist of majorityretired people, and there’s a counterbalance by young families moving in, which I think the subdivision next door is doing,” said Alan.

Alan and Joan Parker said they have no regrets in moving into the St Kilda retirement village.

Cecilia Storm is delighted to see Sumerset coming to Cambridge.

Is it worth it?

Retirement villages provide a safe and supportive environment, but they come at a cost.

Nationwide, five private operators Summerset, Bupa, Metlifecare, Ryman Healthcare and Oceania - control more than 50 per cent of the market.

Rather than owning units residents often “buy” a licence to occupy, with prices starting at under $150,000 for a one-bedroom apartment.

Residents (and their estates) will usually miss out on any capital gains from rising property prices if they move out or pass away. Capital gains are normally taken by the village operator and are one of the most significant sources of revenue for operators. This means that residents who moved into a village in Auckland 10 years ago would have missed out on the approximate doubling of that region’s property prices.

A weekly fee is also charged to cover the day-to-day running of the village, ranging from $90 to $170 depending on what services and facilities are provided.

But some residents say it’s worth it, with social activities and entertainment facilities geared to help seniors retire in style.

Many villages provide community centres with entertainment systems, libraries, billiards, and even hair salons and cafes.

Club-like groups are formed, like gardening, craft and “men’s sheds”, and on-site events are planned, including movie nights, high teas and even happy hour.

Outings are planned too, which some residents say gives them a good “push” to actually go and check out a place they’d been meaning to visit for years.

Pool work continues on time

Construction of the new Cambridge Pool complex remains on target for completion mid next year, says Waipā District Council.

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 pool complex, built in 1971, was closed in February 2018, and was largely demolished within three months. Construction of the new complex began last June.

Over the past few months contractors have prepared the site for major construction and completed the earthworks, excavation and retaining of the site. They have finished installing underground services and completed pipework and plumbing for the pools, ground and floor preparation for the indoor pools and reinforced steel work.

Contractors have since started pouring concrete for the indoor pools and electrical

ducting work has begun.

More work is still to be done on underground services, pool services and installation of the pool structures and tanks.

When Cambridge News reported in April that a new 25m, 10-lane lap pool had arrived on site from America for installation, some readers expressed concern that Council hadn’t used local pool providers.

In response, Lorraine Kendrick, project delivery manager, said Council had carried out a detailed assessment of the different types of pool tanks available, taking into account ongoing operational costs as well as initial construction costs, and decided to construct two of the pools from concrete – the toddler and hydrotherapy/learn to swim pools – and have the main 25m pool supplied

by Natare NZ, which shipped the pool from America.

That option, Kendrick said, has a number of benefits not only for construction but also

for ongoing operating systems like filtration and drainage.

More information on the Cambridge Pool

project can be found at www.waipadc. govt.nz/our-district/MajorProjects/Pages/ Cambridge-Pool-redevelopment.aspx.

Pictured on Wednesday this week, Naylor Love construction staff pump concrete into a plinth for a steel portal which will support the structure for the indoor pools. In the foreground is the ‘start’ of a new 25m pool.

Open, closed, open: Pony’s back

By Sophie Iremonger

Pony bar and restaurant re-opened its doors on Tuesday under new ownership.

Tony Singh recently bought the business and hopes that Cambridge locals will continue to frequent the outlet popular for its gourmet Mexican tappas.

It’s a turnaround for Pony after former owner Matt Cooper announced he had closed the restaurant for good on Easter weekend.

It will continue under the same name with the same sort of food, and in the next few weeks will also add a café component to offer barista coffees and brunch during the day.

Tony’s son Karan Sandhu has organised much of the takeover, ironing out the paperwork, organising staff, the liquor licence and making sure

everything was organised and ready for its first opening this week.

“We’re largely keeping it as it is, same name, and doing Mexican-type food, because people enjoy it. But we’re going to start opening the doors earlier so people can come in for coffee and brunch and stuff like that,” Karan explained.

“There might be some slight changes to the dishes that don’t do too well, you’ve got to keep changing every now and then… but it’s going to be the same type of menu, just with little changes every few months based on turnaround.”

The new owners have employed two chefs and retained one original Pony staff member.

While they had enough staff to open this week, more positions are still available at the restaurant.

Tony Singh and his family are the new owners of Pony bar and restaurant.

Elections – three mayors standing

Three mayors in the Cambridge and Te Awamutu News readership area plan to stand for office again.

Nomination for the local body elections open in five weeks.

Waikato mayor Allan Sanson, Waipā mayor Jim Mylchreest and Ōtorohanga mayor Max Baxter have all confirmed that they will be running.

The chair of the Waikato Regional Council, Alan Livingston, announced earlier this month that he would be standing down.

Te Awamutu’s community board chairperson Gary Derbyshire will also be running again saying that he has unfinished business to tend to such as being involved in the Te Arai Wai Discovery centre development.

“I’ve really enjoyed my first term back on the community board and I really enjoy local body politics on this level, it’s a good balance for me,” said Gary, who is also a real estate agent at LJ Hooker.

“I’ve got several projects that are still on the go that I want to see through,” said Gary.

The Cambridge Community Board chairman Mike Pettit was unsure at this stage whether he would stand again, saying it was a family decision yet to be made.

Tamahere and Matangi come under the Waikato District Council in the Tamahere Ward, which is currently represented

by Councillor Aksel Bech. He plans to stand for a second term.

All but three of the Waipā District’s elected representatives have confirmed their intention to run.

Councillor Sue Milner, also a member of the Cambridge Community Board, said she will only be running for the community board this year.

“I have enjoyed my time on Council but it takes up considerable hours, and it would be good to have new fresh faces – hopefully younger – sitting on the council,” she said.

Te Awamutu ward councillor Vern Wilson will also stand down this year, after nearly a decade on the council.

“I have enjoyed the last nine years and hope in some way made a difference,” he said.

He ran for mayor in the 2016 elections, and still has the same

mayor, he said, and having a supportive partner is absolutely important.

“I’m really lucky that Robyn (wife of 32 years) is supportive and comes to as many functions as she can.”

Councillors generally don’t have to attend weeknight and weekend commitments like the mayor does, making that side more suitable for Mayor Jim Mylchreest those with young families, he said.

He hopes to see all ages and ethnicities run in the election, to reflect the diverse population of Waipā.

“It’s good to get some fresh faces, and to have some continuity as well (in keeping some of the existing Councillors).

“My advice for those wanting to run would be, don’t come into it thinking you can reduce rates overnight. People might promise they’re going to cut rates, but because so much of what we do is necessary work, it’s not something that’s really possible, and to actually have a district that’s so attractive as well.”

Looking back on his two terms, he said the most important achievement for Council was the upgrades in infrastructure across the district. More noticeable to the public would be the Cambridge Pool project for Cambridge, and the Te Ara Wai discovery centre planned for Te Awamutu.

He hopes to improve wellbeing in Waipa, in part through improved social and pensioner housing.

His most important message of all was to encourage voters to make their voice count.

“Make sure you find out about your candidates, and take the opportunity to get out there and vote. When everything’s going well, you tend to forget the council’s actually here, but it doesn’t happen by accident, you need to elect good people for the council.”

Nominations will be open from July 19 to August 16.

message he had then – listen, be honest and stand by your values.

“I strongly believe you must stand by your election promises, they are a pledge to the people that elected you.

At the end of the day it’s not a popularity competition in meetings and one person can make a difference, the last thing you need is a bunch of rubber stampers.”

It is not known whether or not Councillor Judy Bannon will stand.

Every other councillor and community board member has confirmed they will stand this year.

To date there has been no contender from within the Waipā council shaping as a rival for the sitting mayor.

Jim Mylchreest ran against three candidates when he first stood in 2013. Since then the district’s population has grown by over 6000 to more than 53000.

“We’ve seen more growth in Waipā than there’s ever been,” said the mayor, who started working for council back in 1978 under the Waipā County Council, and then with Waipa District Council when it formed in 1989. He took a break in 2002 and headed the Maungatautari Ecological Island project before getting back into the game in 2013 and winning the job as mayor.

“Time flies when you’re having fun,” he said. “It’s a fantastic role. It is challenging … It’s a complex business, there are over 20 different streams of work within the organisation, whether it’s roading, drainage, storm water, health, planning, building inspections, there’s a mass of different activities that you’ve got to try and get your head around, and it’s quite a big business at a hundred million dollars a year … But it’s great, I’m really proud of how the district has grown.”

He said those thinking about running for office should have a thick skin and be prepared to deal with the regulations and red tape that come with the job.

“Some days you just shake your head and think, this is ridiculous, but you need to be able to keep at it.

“Whether you’re on the community board or a councillor or in the mayoralty it is a challenging role, but it’s very rewarding when you actually get things done.”

Time and commitment are a big aspect to the job as

Reducing speed limits on Waipā roads

By Caitlan Johnston

Cambridge Community Board chairperson Mike Pettit says that white lines do not save lives and Waipā’s busiest roads should be lined with median barriers as well as several other factors that should be put in place to reduce road safety.

These comments come as a result of evidence collected from the New Zealand Transport Agency’s Mega Maps showing that 87 per cent of speed limits on major roads are too high, only 5 per cent of open roads should be 100kph and many 50kph urban roads should also be reduced.

Mega Maps goes on to suggest a safe and appropriate speed of between 60km/h and 80 km/h would apply to most stretches of open road.

“A huge proactive investment should be made in medium barriers along our busiest roading corridors. This along with speed reductions in areas and driver education should be part of potential solutions,” said Pettit.

According to Google Maps the travel time between Cambridge and Te Awamutu is 22 minutes to each of the town’s centre,

this is over 24km. If the speed limit on this stretch was reduced to 80kph your travel time would increase by nearly four minutes and at 60kph it would increase by nearly 10 minutes.

Te Awamutu’s community board member Gary Derbyshire says that on Waipā roads that have higher speed limits between 70kph and 100kph several things aren’t being considered such as growing residential developments, pedestrian presences, blind corner speed recommendations and limited visibility, stock on our rural roads and road engineering.

“I believe that inappropriate speed limits alone are not the primary cause of road crashes. The issue is complex but speed limits that are out of kilter with our changing environment do need to be addressed,” said Derbyshire.

Waipā Councils Road Corridor Manager Bryan Hudson says reducing the speed limits in the area would be a positive thing and that it is something the council is considering doing to over 200 local roads to make them safer.

“The Mega Maps data comes as no surprise as we know that the historic 50, 70

and 100 kph limits are a very broad guide to suitable speeds,” said Hudson.

“On average, two people die, 91 are injured and 18 are seriously injured on Waipā roads”.

Earlier this year the council consulted on Waipā’s speed limits bylaws to lower the speeds on local roads that were deemed most at risk and public submissions have been considered.

A final decision will be made later this month and reducing speed limits on more roads will be considered again next year.

Given the revelations from the New Zealand Transport Agency and their Mega Maps data the Government is now looking at the agency’s work as part of a larger Bryan Hudson. Waipā Councils road corridor manager transport safety strategy. says the Mega Maps data comes as no surprise.

Artisan Jewellery Expo

Yarn it! Kniffiti artists bomb main street

Cambridge Creative Fibre started its annual yarn bombing of Victoria St last Sunday morning, to the delight of passing motorists.

“We get lots of cars stopping as they go past and saying it looks great, we love it when this comes out,” said Margaret Cairns, one of a dozen group members who spent two hours wrapping the CBD in brightly-coloured knitting.

“People talk about it; there are always comments on the Grapevine (Facebook group) like, ‘oh I’m glad the trees are done again’.”

It’s not only trees targeted: the horse statue beside the town hall now boasts a blanket and reins, areas of Leamington are included and there’s even a shopping trolley in the mix.

“Bunnings support us – they give us two people and a step ladder so we can reach high places – so one of our members, Jan Soanes, has done a trolley up there and it’s absolutely spectacular,” Margaret said.

The club’s members, now numbering more than 50, work throughout the year to create knitting and crochet art to hang around the streets. Acrylic is mainly used because it keeps its shape in the rain, and when it’s all over everything is washed and stored for reuse.

Margaret said she enjoyed the teamwork involved and

the reaction from the public.

“I just enjoy seeing people’s faces and the little kids love it so it’s really good,” she said. “We usually get quite a few members from doing this.”

The yarn bombing is carried out every winter to promote Cambridge Creative Fibre’s annual exhibition, held this year at Raleigh Street Christian Centre from June 25-29.

Welcoming anyone who loves spinning, weaving, knitting, crocheting, felting and “anything to do with wool and textiles”, the group meets at the Cambridge Community Centre in Taylor St on the first, third and fourth Thursdays of each month from 9.30am until 2pm.

Its main street decorations will stay up until the second Sunday in July.

Postal services shifting to Paper Plus

By Viv Posselt

Cambridge’s PostShop is moving most of its postal operations into the local Paper Plus outlet from July 4.

From that date, all postal services, with the exception of postboxes and courier pick-ups, will be available at Paper Plus Cambridge. Postboxes in the current box lobby will remain where they are and will continue to operate as they do now.

Courier collections will also remain at the current Duke St premises due to a lack of storage space at Paper Plus Cambridge, but customers wanting to process outgoing courier packages, or pay bills currently payable at the PostShop, will be able to do so at Paper Plus.

KiwiBank will remain in situ; it is expected to expand to fill the Duke St outlet.

The shift is being made as part of New Zealand Post’s wider move to partner with local businesses in order to

make postal services available in locations where customers can also access other products. NZ Post Head of Retail, Mark Yagmich, said the organisation had already partnered successfully with other businesses in more than 800 New Zealand locations.

“It is a more financially sustainable way of working for NZ Post in an ever-changing mix of postal services usage – the decline of mail versus the significant increase in parcel services,” he said. “It’s also good for the businesses we work with as they enjoy additional income, both from transacting postal services on our behalf and by having more customers coming through their doors.”

This latest move sees PostShops move location in both Cambridge on July 4, and Matamata on July 11.

Cambridge Paper Plus franchisee Hamish Wright said he was “excited” about the shift and will soon start on the in-store layout changes needed to accommodate the postal services.

“It’s going in at the back of the store [Empire Street entrance] - we’re putting in two new counters. The Post Office will close in its current premises at days end on July 3 and will re-open here for business on July 4. I’m excited about it. We have always seen ourselves as being here for the community, and bringing the postal service here makes that even more apparent.”

He is currently in talks with PostShop employees who have been made redundant, with a view to bringing some of them on board.

Hamish conceded there might be space issues at peak times such as Christmas,

Paper Plus Cambridge’s Hamish Wright.

but said they were prepared to be as flexible as possible with integrating the service into Paper Plus. “For example, customers will be able to purchase boxes of stamps from the main counter.”

He is also in discussions with Waipa District Council staff over parking implications. “But in reality, I don’t see that being any bigger an issue than it is at the PostShop’s current location.”

The ‘store-within-a-store’ concept was nothing new, Hamish added: “It’s been part of the fabric of many communities before, and I’m confident it will work as well here as it has done elsewhere.”

FRIDAY JUNE 14, 2019

Feline fans treated to catstravaganza Cambridge nine-year-old Orla Cantwell and her best friend Rose Lima wouldn’t have missed Sunday’s Geyserland Cat Club show at the Cambridge town hall for anything.

“We have a very big cat obsession,” Orla said. “Cats are just so adorable, so cute, so intelligent, so friendly...they’re just amazing.”

Orla’s moggy mania started last July when she was given a short-haired tabby, Minty, for her birthday.

“That just set the wheels in motion for an absolute obsession,” her dad Fergal said.

“She wears her cats ears most days, Minty sleeps with her every night, her room has pictures of cats everywhere.”

Orla and Rose, both aspiring vets, even formed a band named the Blue Cats at the start of this year and have written 11 songs including ‘Meow’ and ‘Purrfect’.

The Cambridge East School students had a

“pawsome” time admiring 100 different cats entered in Sunday’s show and learning about pedigree breeds on display including Maine Coons, Persians, Ragdolls and Sphynxes.

While there they stopped for a photograph with Buttons, a black Persian owned by Shelley Boyd from Hamilton and bred by Ian and Jan Gray from Te Awamutu.

Ian, who owns 18 cats, said it was wonderful to see the girls’ enthusiasm.

“They’re the future of anything like this,” he said. “If they have a cat themselves they’d like to show – even if it’s domestic or a companion – they can do that. In the companion and domestic section it’s all about a pretty cat – one that’s companionable, one that will be happy, easy to handle, looks really nice and is prepared well.”

New Zealand Cat Fancy chair David Colley said the show had drawn contestants from Wellsford down to Palmerston North, while judges had come from across New Zealand and Australia.

Cambridge’s Dianne LeBas, who helped organise Sunday’s event, estimated it had drawn hundreds to the town hall.

And while there were no local winners on the day, Rose and Orla thought the afternoon was “purrfect”.

The overall supreme winner was a blue tabby van Persian kitten owned by Auckland’s Noeline Cullum.

Dianne said Cambridge people were welcome to attend New Zealand Cat Fancy’s annual national cat show at the Tauranga Racecourse next Saturday.

Storms prompt calls to council

By Sophie Iremonger

Wild weather around Cambridge left residents and council workers cleaning up, clearing blockages and dealing with minor flooding caused by a combination of leaf fall and rain fall.

Last week Waipā District Council received 18 calls relating to storms – three about catchpits (storm water drains) blocked by leaves, three about catchpits flooding, four regarding flooding over the road from heavy rain, six regarding leaves blocking water flow in roadside gutters, and two regarding downed trees.

Council’s road corridor manager Bryan Hudson advised residents to let Council know about any blocked street catchpits, “so we can get it sorted before it’s a bigger issue”.

He also encouraged residents to make regular check of gutters, downpipes and stormwater grates on their own properties if leaves were a problem.

From early May to late July Council provides a weekly collection service in specific streets where trees on council

land shed a lot of leaves.

Workers on Council’s regular street cleaning programme also work year-round to keep gutters and catch pits free flowing and functional, and check and monitor flooding hot spots before and during bad weather. Other road maintenance contractors inspect the roads during and after bad weather events and address any issues such as clearing flooding and downed trees.

Leaf fall in Waipā is different each year. When the cold snap comes early, most leaves fall over a period of several weeks.

“Other years they trickle down over a few months and in large amounts when the weather is wet and windy - which is what we’ve seen this year,” Hudson explained. “It’s difficult for our contractor to remove these large amounts all at once, especially when the weather is bad.”

He recommended residents keep an eye on leaves building up in their own properties and let them know about any issues on Council land.

He said residents should avoid leaving any items

including rubbish bags, leaf collection piles and lawn clippings in or near the kerbside gutters.

Oak tree leaves, meanwhile, made great compost and mulch.

“Use this around your gardens and shrubs which helps keep weeds down, provides nutrients, warms the soil and retains moisture.”

Heavy rainfall over the past week has caused several areas around Cambridge to become flooded.

Show and tell time for seniors

By Viv Posselt

A new social group for seniors starts this month, organised by Showtime Travel Connect’s Gaylene Callaghan.

The first of the monthly hour-long Coffee Catch-Ups is being held next Monday June 17 from 3pm at Cambridge’s Absolute Coffee House.

The guest speaker for that session, Claire Roigard from Te Awamutu i-SITE, will talk about the current selection of short stay national holidays.

Gaylene is a well-known

figure locally, both through her role as Cambridge Resthaven’s community and events co-ordinator, and as the founder and organiser of Showtime Travel Connect.

That is an initiative that sees her organise transport to various shows around the region.

“I started it as a hobby 12 years ago,” she explained. “I love music, drama and dance, so it seemed only natural to want to share that enjoyment with like-minded people. In those days, it was limited to how many fitted in my car.

“Then about seven years ago, Cambridge Resthaven Trust, and latterly the Resthaven Foundation, came on board with sponsored transport in the shape of an 11-seater mini-van. This has been very much appreciated by myself and patrons, as it means more people can attend and enjoy the great shows in the Waikato, and sometimes in Auckland. Excess numbers wanting to attend concerts accompany us in their own transport.”

The Showtime initiative provides seniors with an

opportunity to book door-todoor transport to and from upcoming shows and events.

Alerting them to what’s coming up and how to book well ahead isn’t often the easiest part – and that’s where the Coffee Catch-Ups come in.

“I hope the monthly catchups will become an excellent platform to hear of new upcoming events and to book ahead,” she said. “Many good concert seat positions are taken before some patrons let me know they wish to attend.”

The Coffee Catch-ups will be held on the third Monday of every month at Absolute Coffee House.

Showtime Travel Connect will provide a sweets platter, while Absolute are offering discounted teas and coffees. The sessions will also offer people an opportunity to find out about Showtime’s booking programme and put their names down for events that interest them.

Youngsters hooked on building work

By Tomas Metz

Over the time it took Rob May Builders to erect a new classroom, Kaipaki School was a hub of hammering, sawing and measuring.

The building goings-on peaked the students’ curiosity and Jono McCullough, owner of Rob May Builders, saw the opportunity to set up a programme for primary school students to do building work.

It would be a mentoring programme in several schools where tradesmen could teach the students building skills and work with them on several projects.

The idea for the project was enthusiastically received by Kaipaki School and integrated into its elective programme, beginning two weeks ago.

Amidst the hustle and bustle of Kaipaki School, Jono McCullough measured with several keen children around a crowded table. They were making Lego styled bag hooks for the school and had been provided with a tool-kit each, supplied by Cambridge ITM. The students were very excited and there was a general buzz about the place as they all took part in the activity.

“We’re going to do projects around the school, which could be anything from plantboxes to retaining walls and maintenance,” Mr McCullough explained.

“This will give the boys a chance to do some building work.”

Cambridge East School are also welcoming the tradesmen for mentoring, with the

project planned to extend to other schools in the Waikato area. The programme is supported by both Cambridge ITM and the Cambridge Community Charitable Trust.

Tomas is a member of the Community High School media team which has been invited to submit stories to the Cambridge News.

Save the date call BE PREPARED for garden festival FOR

By Viv Posselt

Preparations for this year’s Cambridge Garden Festival are well underway despite the winter chill, with the 2019 charitable event set down for Sunday, November 24.

Twelve gardens will be on show this time around, with two of them coming on board for the first time

as ‘Art in the Garden’ exhibitors.

The festival launched in 2018 as a major Rotary Cambridge fundraiser. Last November’s inaugural event saw over 1000 people visit 10 gardens and raise around $30,000 for three charities – the Rotary Club of Cambridge Charitable Trust, Cambridge Community

Cambridge Garden Festival project lead, Carey Church (left) and Robyn Crickett, incoming president of Rotary Cambridge, in one of the gardens included in the 2019 festival line-up.

House, and Victim Support.

Project leader and Rotarian, Carey Church, said proceeds from this year’s festival will also go to charity, while several minor tweaks to other aspects of the event are being made in response to feedback from last year’s visitors.

“We are planning to have refreshments available at four or more gardens this year, and there will be lots of plants for sale,” she said.

“In addition, two ‘Art in the Garden’ gardens will have art for sale, and most of the properties will be wheelchair accessible.”

Carey said new sponsors who had expressed an interest in coming on board would join some of last year’s sponsors returning to the festival in 2019.

The November 24 event will run from 9am to 4.30pm. Tickets will go on sale from August 16 from Cambridge Jewellers, Amber Garden Centre and online at www.cgf.nz. Special Early Bird sales will run until September 30.

Cleave targets Paralympic place After competing successfully in Japan last month and moving from 14th to 12th in the ITU world rankings, elite blind paratriathlete Shannon Cleave is now aiming for the Paralympics and wants her home Waikato region to help get her there.

Shannon wants to be the first vision-impaired New Zealander to race at the ITU World Paratriathlon Series and qualify for August’s World Championship Finals in Lausanne, Switzerland.

All going to plan, she hopes to qualify for the 2020 Paralympics in Tokyo, but it’s a massive goal which means she will have to fundraise her heart out in order to meet the costs of competing overseas to meet that goal.

Fundraising with a twist

Sight-impaired elite paratriathlete Shannon Cleave and her ‘pilot’ Vicki Fleming have added an additional incentive to their fundraising efforts throughout June.

They have set up a ‘virtual 5km’ event linked to Shannon’s Facebook page. Those interested can sign up through the Facebook page, pay $25 and complete the 5km however they please - either cycling, walking or running. The idea, said Vicki, is to engage people in the fundraising efforts required to help the pair compete internationally and help Shannon become New Zealand’s first vision-impaired paratriathlete to compete in the Paralympics.

“The need for fundraising will be ongoing,” said Vicki. “We have to travel extensively to qualify. If we can get through to the Paralympics, it will be history in the making and everyone who has helped in some way can be a part of that.”

“It’s a little bit of the number eight wire approach – true pioneering spirit,” said Shannon. “If we achieve this, we can inspire a whole new generation of para-athletes coming through and show them that they can achieve their goals without having to go through high-performance sports programmes.”

The athletes will also give talks to interested groups and are fundraising through their givealittle page: www.givealittle. co.nz/cause/shannon-cleave-para-triathlete#

Shannon trains and competes with her Cambridge-based ‘pilot’, Vicki Fleming, who is herself a high-flying international athlete. They have been working together since late last year and can often be seen training on the roads in and around Cambridge.

The pair returned recently from Yokohama in Japan where they raced in the ITU World Triathlon Series Paratriathlon race on May 18. They were ranked 14th in the ITU world rankings going into the race, but after securing their spot by just 20 seconds they moved up to a 12th ranking. They need to bring that down to at least a 10th ranking in order to progress in the

complicated points-based system governing the sport internationally.

Vicki has amassed numerous international medals of her own over the years, across several disciplines.

She and husband Mark coach at the Avantidrome, and both are involved in helping Shannon attain her goals.

The gritty athlete is already well known for her determination. Shannon and her twin sister were born with albinism and impaired vision. Before early 2016 when she joined a gym, she was an unhealthy 150kg.

She dropped 60kg in 18 months and went on to score big time in triathlon. She has competed in Australia, New York and elsewhere and is the current Oceania and New Zealand Paratriathlon Champion in the vision-impaired female category.

Leamington fall to Morrinsville experience in a match which finished 28-5.

Despite first half dominance, the hosts were restricted to just three penalty goals with the wind in their favour.

The wind dropped in the second half and Leamington fought hard with Mitch

Prems score 80 in netball Defending champions Hautapu Premier scored an 82-18 win over Hautapu development in one of the first 60 minute games of the season.

The game was played at speed and the teams were almost goal for goal in the first quarter. The second quarter saw Hautapu Premier take control of the game and build a lead.

With fresh legs and different combinations the Premiers took the reins in the third and fourth quarter. Hautapu Development produced some great patches of play and have come a long way already this season.

Onyx Hautapu beat NUSC Vipers 61-50. Onyx started strongly but Vipers responded well and the two teams had to compete for every point for the remainder of the game.

Last year’s premier reserve winners Hautapu Hawks were too strong for newly promoted Hautapu Phoenix, winning 91-21.

Maungatautari Social beat Hautapu Social 3015 in the first of the premier reserve 2 grade. Both teams had patches of play that really highlighted their potential.

The club would love to see more of its supports on the side-lines so make sure you head along on Wednesday night or Saturday and support the girls.

Abbott making the most of the limited opportunities to score in the corner unconverted.

Morrinsville’s superior size and experience told in the end with three second half tries winning 28-5.

Player of the day went to Callum Neels The Senior B team had a torrid battle chasing the game from early on. Kore Murfitt scored a hard earned try. Morrinsville managed two tries a conversion and a penalty to win 15-5. Player of the day was Te Mana Shortland.

The Regal Agriculture Colts ensured there was no whitewash against Morrinsville, maintain an unbeaten run and winning 34-10.

The under 85kg team had a rare home game and welcomed back a few of their injured players to celebrate a 31-10 over University.

All Leamington teams are home tomorrow. The Colts will play Matamata at Memorial Park at 1pm, the B team, against Hinerua, and under 85kg team, hosting Melville, kick off at 1pm at Carlyle Street and the seniors kick off against Hinuera at 2.45pm.

Winter Warmth FEATURE

FRIDAY JUNE 14, 2019

ARE YOU READY FOR WINTER?

What’s good with wood?

What type of firewood will best suit your needs will depend on what type of fireplace you have and how much you’re prepared to pay. The best wood for burning are the hardwoods, such as gum and manuka, as they burn slower and for longer. They are also the most expensive. The softer woods, such as pine, are excellent for starting fires with. Normally, people will buy a mix of soft and hard wood – soft to get the fire going, and hard to keep it burning and provide maximum heat output.

Firewood needs to be seasoned – dried out – to ensure it burns efficiently, producing the most heat and therefore value for money as it burns. The time required for seasoning will vary, as different types of wood will have different moisture levels to start with.

Dry firewood also provides less smoke, so is better for surrounding air-quality.

Also remember that firewood should legally be sold in volume by cubic metres, not by the old-fashioned cord measurement. It’s also sold as a “thrown measure”, meaning that it is measured as if it were thrown into a container and will reduce in volume by about a third when stacked properly.

What type of wood to choose?

Here are some common options: Pine Pine is one of the most common woods used for heat in New Zealand and is also one of the cheapest due to its availability. Radiata pine has a lot of resin in the

wood, which causes it to burn so fast and causes it to sometimes pop and crackle when it burns. It’s easy to light, and relatively easy to cut into kindling.

Manuka Manuka is a favourite hardwood for Kiwis, because it burns hot and long. It does need to be dried properly – which can take around 18 months or more – and should be used to stoke already-established fires, rather than to light them. It is generally at the top end of the price scale.

Gum A mid-priced hardwood, gum can be difficult to start fires with, so is best used on an established fire. It’s also very hard to split when it’s dry, so either split it while it’s wet or make sure it’s the right size for your fireplace when you order it. Ideally, it will have been seasoned (dried out) for 1-2 years. As will all wood, the drier it is the more efficiently it burns and the more heat it produces.

Hotmix Hotmix firewood is a blend of different kinds of wood, designed to start, heat up and maintain a decent heat from your fire. Ratios and types of wood will vary from supplier to supplier, so it’s a good idea to find out what sort of wood they are using and in what amounts. Normally, the higher the amount of pine you are getting, the lower the heat output you will be receiving. Conversely, the more gum or manuka (commonly used in hotmix blends) you are

getting, the better the heat output.

Make sure you know what the different wood types look like, too, so that you can use the right wood at the right stage of your fire. And once you have all that sorted, you can sit back and enjoy the wonderful heat that a roaring fire will give you.

with Jan Bilton

Savour the sizzle There’s nothing quite like a perfectly grilled beef steak. It’s ‘comfort food’, puts a smile on your face and can be served in myriad ways including ethnic favourites such as Greek kebabs, Spanish tapas and Mexican chillis.

Carpetbag steak — a scotch fillet stuffed with oysters — was popular during the 1950s and ‘60s. As the steak is grilled or panfried, the flavour of the fresh oysters permeates the steak and blends with the juice of the tender meat. It is a traditional dish from Mumbles, an historic fishing village in Wales.

Steaks become firmer as they cook. Press the thickest part of the meat with your fingertip. The softer it is the rarer it is; the firmer it is, the more cooked it is.

Always rest steak — covered — for about 5 minutes after cooking for the meat to ‘set’. It will be much more tender when you cut it.

Lean beef is a great source of iron, a nutrient that many Kiwis are deficient in. It is especially important that pregnant women, children, teenagers and athletes absorb the recommended daily amounts. Iron carries oxygen around the body and ensures a healthy immune system.

Beef is also an important source of the B group vitamins and zinc.

Whatever the cut of beef chosen, the nutritional content is similar.

Reds in five-way battle for title after extra time). By comparison, Claudelands have tripped up in their title campaign, losing to Metro FC (3-0), Unimount Bohemian Celtic (1-0) and to Melville United in the cup (7-0).

Surprisingly, after having had the tightest defence in the competition, Cambridge have conceded 12 goals in their three losses while Claudelands have failed to find the net, despite being the leading scorer in the competitions. The derby kicks off at 3pm on Saturday, with the two clubs’ reserves teams meeting at 12.30pm.

Last Saturday, the Reds staged another of their now-familiar fightbacks but bowed 3-2 to new division leaders Metro. The Aucklanders got off to a great start, with Mario Aroca giving them a lead after only two minutes. He struck again in the 27th and 30th minutes, giving the home team a comfortable margin when the sides

By Josh Easby

The race for Northern League football’s second division title has turned into a five-way battle with Cambridge among the contenders.

After latest results, Cambridge and their four nearest rivals are within two competitions of each other as the Lotto NRFL enters the second half of its season.

This Saturday, the Reds travel to Galloway Park, home of Hamilton rivals Claudelands Rovers, who are also among the divisional pacesetters. Whoever wins this local derby will remain in touch with the leaders so much is at stake. Both Cambridge and Claudelands go into this match having lost three games in a row.

The Reds have lost by the barest of margins to top Auckland sides Manurewa (4-3), Metro FC (3-2) and, in the ISPS Handa Chatham Cup, to Glenfield Rovers (5-4

turned around.

Cambridge had the better of the second half and substitute Dylan Blair pulled a goal back for the Reds in the 78th minute to spark a fightback and hopes of snatching a point. As the game wound down, Josh Clarkin added Cambridge’s second in added time with a header low to the ground, to end the match at 3-2.

In all their games this season – except for a Chatham Cup tie won 6-2 against Papakura City – Cambridge have won or lost their fixtures by no more than a single goal.

Cambridge reserves lost 4-1 to Metro FC in the early game at Phyllis St. The sides went into the break with the game goalless but Metro’s Sam Adeyinka put the home side ahead in the 55th minutes. Ten minutes later Devon Andrews levelled for

Cambridge.

Cambridge looked set to take the lead when the referee awarded them a penalty but after consultation with his assistant, the decision was changed to a free kick outside the area. That setback helped give back the momentum to Metro who added three more goals to take the victory.

Those goals came from Adeyinka – who completed a hat-trick with goals in the 67th and 74th minutes – and Tim Jones who finished the scoring with a goal in added time.

In the WaiBOP Championship, Cambridge’s third team won 5-2 against Tokoroa, despite a stuttering start. Bottom-placed Tokoroa hit the post and then scored a soft goal.

Cambridge striker James Cakebread grabbed two goals in the 20th and 26th minutes, neatly sliding the ball past the Tokoroa goalkeeper in similar fashion. The

sides turned round with Cambridge leading 2-1 and the home team put the result beyond doubt with goals from Kurt von Keisenberg (64’) and leading scorer Adam Brady (71’ and 82’). Brady’s pair give him 10 goals for the season and the lead in the race for the club’s Golden Boot.

In Waikato Division 3, Cambridge D1s participated in a wind-hampered goalfest at Hamilton’s Bremworth Park, won 7-3 by West Hamilton United. Scorers for Cambridge were Miguel Peterle, Jamie McKean and David O’Donnell.

In Waikato Division 4, the D2s lost 3-1 to Northern United’s Numpties side at John Kerkhof Park. Northern United went into the break with a 1-0 lead and Chris Hill kept Cambridge in the game with his sixth goal of the season but United finished strongly to take the league points.

Cambridge outnumber the Tokoroa forwards with (from left) Jason Szabo, Josh Dagnell, Alex Ball and Luke Ashby.

In his latest documentary two time academy award-winning director Ron Howard celebrates the life of the beloved opera star Luciano Pavarotti, who sold over 100 million records in his lifetime. Ron Howard takes an intimate approach in telling Pavarotti’s story, going beyond the iconic public figure to reveal the man himself. Thanks to a partnership with Decca Records and through unique access to the Pavarotti family archives, home videos, behind the scenes footage and extensive live music footage, we see Pavarotti’s personal story emerge: from his humble beginnings in Northern Italy through to global superstardom. We travel the world with Pavarotti. We get to know the great tenor as a husband and father, a committed philanthropist, as well as a fragile artist who had a complex relationship with his own unique talents and unprecedented success.

Rose-Lynn Harlan is bursting with raw talent, charisma and cheek. Fresh out of prison and reunited with her son and daughter, all she wants is to get out of Glasgow and make it as a country singer in Nashville. Rose's mother Marion, on the other hand, has had a bellyful of her worthless nonsense.

Forced to take strict responsibility, Rose gets a cleaning job, only to find an unlikely champion in the middle-class lady of the house. The whole story Is excellently portrayed. It has ups and downs and doesn't shy away from challenging issues nor glorify them. Buckley excels both vocally and portraying the problems of so many in similar positions.

Julie Walters alongside Buckley was perfect also. Although their greatness on set did outshine most of the supporting cast this did not take too much away. A feel good romp of a film.

Leaders of the pack

Hautapu charge for another try against Otorohanga.

Having won the first round with a perfect record, Hautapu now sits top of the Premiership A table in Waikato Club Rugby on its own.

The unbeaten side added another scalp to its 2019 campaign with a decisive 36-12 win over Otorohanga in the main game at Memorial Park last weekend.

And they will be confident of staying in that position when they host University in the Haswell Catley trophy round tomorrow.

Hautapu won the corresponding fixture in April at Memorial Park 101-12.

APL Hautapu hosted an Otorohanga team which arrived top of the points ladder with a superior points differential after two games.

The rain held off, but the game was played in very windy

conditions.

Hautapu began well, scored first and were never headed.

They led 14-5 at half time and pushed on for a decisive 3612 win.

First five Coby Mile was a key factor in the game – he directed play well and kicked superbly.

The team play Waikato University at Memorial P at 2.45.

The curtain raiser for the development team is at 1pm.

Reserves run out of steam

Hautapu’s Development team was beaten 29-18 in the curtain raiser to the main game on Saturday.

The home side enjoyed the lion’s share of possession early, going ahead with a penalty after three minutes, and they were 10-0 before the quarter of an hour mark.

The next 10 minutes was a see-saw battle before the

Otorohanga forwards began to dominate – and the visitors then rewarded with a penalty try.

Hautapu added another penalty before half time to lead 137, but the second spell belonged to the visitors who bagged a concerted try after just two minutes following a poor clearing kick.

Five minutes later after some strong play by Hautapu’s forwards it was 18-12 following another try, but that was as good as it got for the home side.

Otorohanga took advantage of a poor clearing kick to score – 18-17 – then they won a tight head five metres from the Hautapu line and had the lead for the first time.

The visits, up 27-18 with five minutes to go strung several phases together with forwards and backs linking well and leading to another try.
