Cambridge traffic I moved to Cambridge a few months ago and found a lovely character-full town with friendly townsfolk.

However I see some glaring traffic safety issues. Firstly, the roundabout at Queen/Victoria streets is far too small for the volume of traffic.

Secondly, the dangerous maneuver required if a vehicle wants to turn from Gillies St onto Albert St, or vice versa. Either lights or turning/bleed-in lanes are required.

Thirdly, we are encouraged to get out of our vehicles and walk. Try a stroll to Mitre 10 Mega and back along Gillies St to return to the town centre at a busy time. Treacherous, I found.

Either a pedestrian crossing or pedestrian underpass is needed before a fatality occurs.

Maybe a comment from council would be in order.

Barbara Scott Waipa District Council’s transportation manager Bryan Hudson responds: We always appreciate feedback from the community around improvements that can be made to our central hubs. The background is that Albert Street, Queen Street and Victoria Street were all originally part of SH1 and intersections were set up for the major through flows of traffic. Since SH1 was moved out of town Council has made significant progress in changing the old highway to better suit local traffic and pedestrians, for example the new roundabout and pedestrian facilities at Victoria/Hamilton intersection, a roundabout at Tirau/Shakespeare intersection and we have other projects in development including a roundabout at Cambridge/Hanlin intersection.

Our research has shown that the Victoria/Queen Street roundabout is a suitable size for current traffic but there are alternate routes available for drivers. As for walking from the town centre to Carters Flat, many locals tend to take the more scenic route around Lake Te Koo Utu which is safer and more enjoyable. In saying that, Council also has longer term plans to improve pedestrian paths and movement around town.

More will be released on this in future with the Cambridge town concept plan.

Showtime initiative grows like topsy

By Viv Posselt

The popularity of Showtime Travel Connect saw double the number of people arrive for its third Coffee Catch-Up gathering in Cambridge on August 19.

Group founder Gaylene Callaghan had 15 registered for Monday’s third meeting at Absolute Coffee House; but she ended up with 28 people keen to hear about upcoming events and listen to this week’s guest speaker, the Cambridge Brass Band’s Paul Murphy.

Showtime Travel Connect began earlier this year and offers anyone in the community - primarily those over 50 - an opportunity to attend regional shows using door-to-door transportation organised by Gaylene. She and her husband David started taking people to shows about 12 years ago, but it was only when Cambridge Resthaven Trust, and latterly the Resthaven Foundation, came on board with sponsored transport, that they were able to boost the numbers they could transport to shows and events throughout the region.

The Coffee-Catch-Up meetings, which were launched in June, are on the third Monday of each month, and are open to anyone interested in the group’s activities.

“We’ve been going really well,” said Gaylene, who also works as Cambridge Resthaven’s community and events co-ordinator. “People come along, then bring friends to the next one,

and so it grows. We sometimes include a guest speaker.”

Paul Murphy was on hand on Monday to give details on the September 1 Father’s Day concert in the town hall, featuring the Cambridge Brass Band’s New Zealand premiere performance of ‘The Liberation of Le Quesnoy’. The piece was written by internationally acclaimed composer, Cantabrian Dwayne Bloomfield, and had its international debut at last November’s centenary commemorations in Le Quesnoy.

Dwayne, who will be in Cambridge to conduct the band’s performance of the piece on September 1, said: “I’m looking forward to reuniting with the Cambridge band again. The concert in Le Quesnoy last year was a very special occasion … and I’m now looking forward to the New Zealand premiere.”

Stallions on show

Cambridge Stud held its second of three stallion parades on Sunday, where a steady crowd of around three dozen people turned out to see sires, Alamanzor, Burgendy, Tavistock and Embellish.

Stud owner Brendan Lindsay thanked the crowd for turning out on what was a bitterly cold day, and gave an update on Roaring Lion, who on July 27 suffered a colic attack shortly after arriving at the stud.

Lindsay revealed the stallion was given very slim chance of pulling through after his econday surfery – but “we’re very pleased to say he’s doing very well”.

He said the stud’s first foal of the season, by Satono Aladdin, had been born and was doing well.

Cambridge Stud will host the last of its three free public Stallion Parades on Sunday at 128 Discombe Road, at 2.30pm.

Elections: how it breaks down

By Sophie Iremonger

Waipā District Council will have a few fresh faces and some familiar figures returning to council chambers following this year’s local government elections.

Nominations closed last Friday, with Jim Mylchreest unopposed as mayor of the Waipā district.

“I’m taking it as a real vote of confidence,” he said. “Some could say it’s apathy, but I think if there’s a district where there are problems you’ll have a big turnout of people.”

Of 25 positions available for Waipā District Council and its community boards, 10 were automatically filled with the same number of candidates as there were vacancies – meaning there will be no election for the Pirongia, Maungatautari and Kakepuku wards of council, nor the Maungatautari subdivision on the Cambridge Community Board and the Te Awamutu subdivision of Te Awamutu Community Board.

Unopposed in their wards, councillors Clare St Pierre, Bruce Thomas, Elwyn Andree-Wiltens and Susan O’Regan have been automatically re-elected alongside Mayor Jim Mylchreest.

New community board representation comes in the form of Mike Montgomery, who was unchallenged for the Maungatautari subdivision position on the Cambridge Community Board, and Jill Taylor for Te Awamutu subdivision of Te Awamutu community board. Gary Derbyshire, Angela Holt and Richard Hurrell were re-elected unopposed for the Te Awamutu Community Board.

In total, 46 nominations were received for 25 Waipā District Council positions, including a mix of men and women, different ethnicities and nominees both young and not-soyoung.

Mylchreest said he was happy with the spread, which had both experienced candidates and fresh faces coming to the table.

“You’ve got a mix of stability and new ideas which is

good,” he said. “You need to have that continuity as well.

It’s obvious people want to be involved in council and it’s a good spread.

“I take my hat off to everybody who offers themselves up for this community service,” Mylchreest added. “These people have the courage to put their hand up and that’s a great thing.”

When asked what issues voters might consider during election time, Mylchreest said he didn’t want to tell people how to vote, but said it was important to think about what candidates were saying.

“Those who think they can stop growth and reduce rates very quickly find you can’t, if that’s their election plank I’d steer away,” he said. “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.

“We’ve got to be on the ball if we want to preserve our district and the amenities and values that we’ve got.

“Look at their background and experience and what they can bring to the table.”

He said Waipā’s turnout of candidates, compared to higher numbers in Hamilton and Auckland, seemed to reflect a healthy district.

“Waipā’s pretty stable, we’ve kept rates down to a 2 per cent average, so I think people are pretty happy with how things are going.

“It’s a great district to be mayor of. I’m delighted to be leading for another three years.”

Meanwhile, in the Waikato District Council’s Tamahere Ward, Councillor Aksel Bech has been re-elected unopposed.

Waikato District Mayor Allan Sanson is running again for mayor, challenged by mayoral candidates Korikori Hawkins and Simon Thomson.

In the Waikato Regional Council election, three people are running for two vacancies in the Waipā- King Country Gen-

eral Constituency – Andrew MacPherson, Stuart Kneebone and Dan Armstrong.

Between September 20 and 25 residents will receive their voting papers in the mail, and can post the documents back to electoral officers as soon as they have voted. The documents must be received no later than 12pm on October 12.

Official results will be declared October 17.

Waipā Mayor Jim Mylchreest said he was privileged to be re-elected as mayor and looked forward to seeing both fresh and familiar faces joining him in Council chambers.

The climate’s right Daffodil Day for this columnist volunteers needed

Musician, singer, software writer, businessman and now in real estate.

Meet our new columnist Peter Matthews, who will comment on environmental issues in a monthly column – as part of a growing community of columnists in your weekly “News”.

Peter, 57, is from Henley-on-Thames in England and has been in New Zealand for 39 years.

Inspired by his enthusiastic participation in climate change protest in May, he and his family decided to do something.

They approached businesses, including Lewis Law, Kaz Dezign, Webb and Wood Accountants and Virtual Print and formed the Only Planet Charitable Trust - www.onlyplanet.nz “With the Only Planet, the first thing we want to do is challenge people and businesses to do something about climate change and general environmental issues,” he said.

The first of those challenges, he says, will be to allow and encourage “your staff, family,

and friends” to be part of a Global Climate Strike at the Cambridge Town Hall at noon on September 20.

“Whilst we are going to be challenging people to change the way they do things, it’s not about recrimination and finger-pointing. We aim to praise and promote those who make positive changes and publicise what they are doing in the hope of encouraging others to do the same.

“We acknowledge that this is an uncomfortable and potentially controversial subject, especially in the Waikato, which is an area firmly based on animal farming – itself a contributor to the global problem.”

He says through his column he hopes to encourage readers to think about, discuss, and act on ideas and initiatives which will make a difference, however small, locally and further afield.

“Think globally, act locally has never been more relevant.”

See Peter Matthew’s new column, One Planet, on Page 11 today.

Cambridge Daffodil Day coordinators are calling on retailers and residents to get behind the annual event next Friday, August 30.

The aim is to ‘paint the town yellow’ by encouraging shopkeepers to brighten up their window displays with all things yellow, with a $150 Good Union voucher up for grabs for Cambridge’s best-dressed shop on Daffodil Day. Organisers also hope to see more volunteers sign up to help at one of the 13 street collection sites on Friday, August 30 and Saturday 31.

“More sites means more volunteers needed, we

have a huge number of people who volunteer in numerous ways but we always welcome more and the feedback we get from being involved in the event is great,” said Nicky White, Cambridge Daffodil Day fundraising executive.

Last year’s fundraising in Cambridge saw $17,800 raised from the street appeal and over $20,000 in total. White said the organisation hopes to beat that target this year with more fundraising sites and more volunteers.

“Money raised in Waikato stays in the region to support people affected by cancer and their families,”

she said. “This includes a monthly support group in Cambridge for people with cancer and their carer, volunteer drivers who provide free transport to people in Cambridge who need to travel to Waikato Hospital for treatment, and providing patients with access to an experienced nurse who can provide free information and support.”

Those interested in helping with the Cancer Society’s Daffodil Day appeal, or wanting to find out more about the shop display competition, can phone Nicky on 020 4156 1954 or email nickywhite@ cancersociety.org.nz

Hautapu win battle Gardener finds lucky leaves with record crowd

Hautapu reigned victorious in the Battle of the Bridge rugby game on Saturday before a record-crowd of over 3000 people. But Leamington can lay claim a win on the day with its team of female volunteers taking out the tug of war competition at half time.

“It was definitely the biggest crowd ever, and a great party afterwards… Leamington were amazing hosts,” said co-organiser Mark Nogaj. “Even though the main game was between Leamington and Hautapu, the winner really is the Cambridge community because we are all family and friends here.”

The headlining rugby game between the two clubs saw players over 30, including some in their late 50s, go head to head in a hardfought match which ran pretty evenly throughout.

Leamington dominated possession and territory in the first half, but Hautapu reversed that trend in the second and managed to score two tries to Leamington’s one. The final score was 14 to Hautapu, 11 to Leamington.

“It was a tight battle the whole way through,” said Mark.

“Due to unforeseen circumstances unfortunately the annual netball game didn’t proceed, but plans are already in place for its return bigger and better next year.”

The day commenced with the Waikato schools first fifteen rugby final between Cambridge High School and Matamata,

Cambridge narrowly taking the win 20 – 19.

Next up was the Peace Cup game, part of the Stan Meads competition, where a Cambridge team of both Hautapu and Leamington players took on Piako.

The Cambridge lads claimed victory in convincing fashion with a final score of 29 – 14, in part thanks to a hattrick by co-captain James Maguire and a pair of tries by Ryan Metcalfe, followed by two successful conversions.

The team now sits in a joint-third position with one more round robin game against Morrinsville to determine who will play in the finals round for third and fourth overall.

Now with the Battle of the Bridge trophy in their possession, Hautapu will host next year’s Battle of the Bridge event with plans to add even more sports and games to the day.

“The event simply would not be possible without a huge amount of supporters that proactively got stuck in and made it all happen in all aspects,” said Mark. “A sincere thank you to all.”

Cambridge News was once again the sponsor of this year’s event, along with local businesses C & R Developments, Tree Town Kitchens, Rob May Building, Karapiro Hire, Five Stags, Tyre Traders, Shaws Ropes, Ross Todd Engineering, Line and Design, Comins Plumbing, Bowe Spreading, Hautapu Hire, Grumpy’s Signs, Cogswell Surveying, and Cambridge Panel Works.

DON’ T MISS OUT

Naomi Wicker found a rare and supposedly lucky form of weed in her garden this week. The Australian-turnedCambridge resident was weeding in her yard when she found a four-leaf clover.

“I found one, and thought I’d keep looking, and it just kept going,” she said, finding seven four-leaf clovers and one seven-leaf clover. Generally four-leaf clovers are a rare find at one for every 10,000 clovers. But the gene for a fourth leaf is inheritable, meaning if you find one, you’re more likely to find more in the same area. “I couldn’t believe it,” said Wicker, confirming she planned on buying a lotto ticket that day.

New classrooms address overdue need

By Sophie Iremonger

An announcement by the Minister of Education last week that three Cambridge schools would each receive two new classrooms came as a welcome relief for principals.

“We’re all very excited,” said David Graham, principal of Goodwood School. “Our first meeting with the Ministry property team is happening this week … We hope to be in the new spaces sometime next year.”

Goodwood, Cambridge East and Leamington schools will each receive two new classrooms as part of the 79 new classrooms planned for the Waikato over the next four years, at a price tag of $42 million. It comes as part of the Government’s $1.2 billion National Education Growth Plan announced earlier this month which plans to introduce 100,000 new student places in high growth areas by 2030.

“It is certainly appreciated, we certainly need them, but at the moment it’s kind of like putting a band aid over a gushing wound,” said Cambridge East principal Hamish Fenemor, whose school roll has grown by 15 to 20 students each year over the past five years – with an additional 35 new students this year alone.

“With the numbers we’ve got now we’re three classrooms short,” said Fenemor.

“Schools are good at being creative, so we’re just going to have to continue utilizing other spaces as classrooms.”

Waipa’s growing population has seen sev-

eral Cambridge schools at or near capacity over the last four years, resorting to converting spaces like school libraries and foyers into learning spaces as they continued to wait for help from the Ministry.

Education Minister Chris Hipkins admitted during his announcement on Tuesday that the Ministry had taken too long to address the region’s growing student numbers.

“The Waikato is one of the fastest regions when it comes to growth, and we want to do a much better job in keeping up with that when it comes to schools,” Hipkins said. “We don’t want schools to end up overcrowded because at the moment we have been a bit too late when it comes to this.”

All three Cambridge schools are waiting to hear back from the Ministry with further details on exactly what sort of classrooms they’ll be getting, and when.

“We don’t know what order and what stage that we’re in, where we are on the priority list effectively,” said Fenemor. “The Minister was signalling to us that we were high on the SPG list, the school deficit, in terms of classroom space… So hopefully, fingers crossed, we’ll be in the first year of that (four year plan), and we’ll be into the planning stages around that shortly.

“If we’re in the first year of the implementation, we’ll see movement probably in the next 12 to 18 months in terms of classrooms being on site.”

Leamington principal Mike Malcolm confirmed each school would be meeting with the

Ministry to come up with a plan and timeline.

“It means that we do not have to cram children into classes while we wait for the buildings to catch up,” he said.

“The sad part is we do lose some space in our school, but like the other classes we have

built over recent years, if we are clever with how we do it we can use land that either is used seldomly by the children, or we can open up other spaces that have had little use to make them an interactive space for the children to use.”

Goodwood Principal David Graham, celebrating the announcement with new-entrant students, said the new classroom would likely be placed somewhere near the school’s back field and playground (pictured) adding on to the classrooms surrounding the school courtyard.

Ihumātao: scraps are not enough

By Steph Bell-Jenkins

On July 27, Tāniko Nordstrom ascended a maunga at Ihumātao, looked out across land Maori have been fighting for years to save, sang a waiata to herself and cried.

“I understood then why SOUL is fighting for this place, for this land,” the Cambridge resident said. “I could feel it from the bottom of my feet right up to the top of my shoulders. I got a sense of what it must feel like for them. The apprehension, the fear – and it’s very real – that they could lose that. And the hopes and dreams they have for their people will go with that land. I felt that fear and it made me cry.”

SOUL (Save Our Unique Landscape) is battling to reclaim Maori land at Ihumātao, near Auckland Airport, which was taken illegally by the Crown in 1863 and eventually sold to Fletcher Building. Its members and supporters have gathered at the site to stop the company building 480 homes in a 33ha, $38 million subdivision beside Otuataua Stonefields Historic Reserve.

Tāniko and her mother Raewyn travelled to Ihumātao with two friends in late July and spent two days at the protest.

“I loved the broad representation of people there. It wasn’t just Maori. There were Asians and Islanders and Pakeha.

So many times, we focus on Maori versus Pakeha. But the fight isn’t Maori versus Pakeha anymore. The fight now, I think, has a lot more to do with what is right.”

There was a “beautiful” vibe, she said, with people bringing koha of food and prayers shared twice daily.

“It’s all a collective thing and if you go back to how we lived indigenously before colonisation it’s all about papakainga, where you look after everyone.”

She said an earlier deal signed between iwi and Fletcher Building that would enable Māori to buy 40 Ihumātao homes and have 25 per cent of their land returned was a joke.

“Obviously we’ve had experience with losing lots as Māori, so we’re afraid that we’ll lose everything and we take whatever deal we get – any scraps,” she said.

“And that’s pretty much what’s happened.

But now SOUL is standing up and saying we don’t want any more deals. We don’t want any more scraps.”

She and her mother suggested moving the planned housing development to a golf course.

“And that’s not so rich white guys have to go and play golf somewhere else; it’s because of the huge cultural and historical value of Ihumātao.”

“So when my future kids say Mum, so and so said that Māoris were dumb and they were lucky that we had white people come here I can go no, no, no, I’ll take you to this patch of land and show you what we did a long time before white people got here. We were civilised and we were onto it and we were clever and we were pragmatic.”

They believe the best solution is for the Government to buy the land and return it to iwi.

“The Government’s afraid of the consequences. If they do this, they’ll have to put right every historical injustice.

“But my honest opinion is that if it doesn’t happen with this Government, when we’ve got more Māori representation than we’ve ever had, Māori are screwed.

Our fair treatment will never happen and we’re never going to have equal and fair compensation for the injustices that have Tāniko Nordstrom travelled with her mother Raewyn and two friends to support the Save Our Unique Landscape group at Ihumātao. been done to us in Aotearoa.”

Cambridge Middle School rock band “Reckless” has made a name for itself as one of the top ensembles in this year’s Bandquest.

The Waikato-wide music competition sees intermediate-age bands battle it out for the supreme title, organised by the team behind the secondary school competition Rockquest.

The ten-student band won third overall to earn a $100 Rockshop voucher for their school. Singers Madi Roberts and Shevaun Duffy also placed first for best female vocals.

It came just a few days after the band took part in a similar regional competition called Bandslam, where Dania Rizal won best keyboardist and Madi Roberts placed third for best female vocalist.

“This is a group of students are so passionate about their craft and this

shows through when they get up and rock the stage,” said their music teacher Anna Johnson said. “Not only do they make sure

they have their own parts mastered but they are also so supportive of each other and make a great team. I am so proud of their efforts.”

Cambridge Middle School Band “Reckless” – which includes Jack Beaumont, Madi Roberts, Dylan Lake, Logan Smith, Molly Macdiarmid, Ayana Killian, Saoirse Herewini, Shevaun Duffy, Dania Rizal and Declan Mulligan – have made the top three of this year’s Bandquest competition.

Tiny trains bring in record crowds

By Viv Posselt

Hundreds of enthusiasts made their way to the Cambridge Town Hall last weekend to indulge their interest in miniature trains.

The Model Railway Exhibition, mounted

by The Greater Waikato Railway Modellers (GWR), brought members together from around the region, and drew in their biggest numbers yet. Most of the sets on display

were new, or re-fashioned sets from earlier exhibitions, and a variety of goods for sale meant the event had an appeal across the age spectrum.

The two-day exhibition was supported by Cambridge Brass Band members who did the catering, and members of the Cambridge Patchwork Group took up the Victoria Room with a display and ‘working’ exhibition of their craft.

OPINION

The coffee’s good – but what about the ground?

ONLY

PLANET

By Peter Matthews

About an hour ago I was walking up the main street in the winter sunshine. The odd car horn tooted over the general morning bustle as I stepped into the Lotto shop.

There was a couple in front of me at the counter and the lady turned to me and said: “Since it’s very likely that we are going to win, you may have to wait a while”. Quick as a flash I replied “I shall be happy to wait - for a small commission”.

That’s the kind of thing I normally wish I’d thought of in time to say it.

Feeling pleased with myself I went into a small cafe across the road for a long black and was enveloped by the aroma of hot coffee and pain au chocolat. Looking back through the steam rising from the coffee machine, through the open window across the street, with sunlight through the trees, I had a feeling that all is well with the world.

Except that it’s not. Somewhere in the background, beneath the idyllic scene of small-town New Zealand, something clunked and I remembered that the planet is grappling with climate change and environmental collapse.

When I first approached the newspaper about this column there was a meeting with the editor during which I asked whether a certain amount of controversy was going to be acceptable. The answer was “We like letters to the editor, but we do not like losing readers”. Fair enough.

The reason for my question, you see, is that this column is going to address climate change and environmental issues and what we, as the

human race, and more particularly, as a small community in New Zealand are doing about it.

And whether we are prepared, or willing to look closely at the issues and face up to our responsibilities.

This is undoubtedly an uncomfortable subject, but also one which is relatively easy to ignore in the short term. We surely can’t leave the future of our descendants in the hands of Putin, Trump, Bolsonaro, Jinping, Johnson et al. I have always chosen to believe that most politicians are basically OK, but as I grow older and more sceptical I suspect that many of those who rise to leadership are in it for financial gain and power, and to hell with the rest of us.

My wife, who is politically wiser than I am, says that Trump is a puppet for the republican party who obliges by causing outrage and smokescreens while they get busy with their agenda – which is not a planet-friendly agenda. I believe the answer lies closer to home than many might think. We the people must act.

Now, sitting in my office I can see the street outside, and it’s raining.

So what can we do? I’m no expert, and I and my family are certainly not carbon-neutral but we do care, and I think there are things we can all do, at many levels. I shall be looking at these, amongst other things in this column.

But right now, – put this in your diary: Global Climate Strike 12:00PM Cambridge Town Hall Friday 20th September 2019. Paint a placard and come along – to show that you care about our planet.

Kōkako funding approved

The Waikato Regional Council has agreed to provide further funding for kokako.

It will provide a grant for almost $300,000 to help grow the population on Mt Pirongia.

A Natural Heritage Fund application approved by the finance committee will help with pest control, as well as half-funding a position for a project coordinator, to ensure the wellbeing of the kōkako population moved to Mt Pirongia two years ago.

Purekireki marae elder Tom Roa said had the remnants of the Pirongia population not been moved before year 2000 to Tiritiri Mātangi Island in the Hauraki Gulf and the Pureora Forest, they would have been lost.

“Then two years ago, out of nowhere, came the melodic sound again of our local Ngāti Apakura treasure. She had returned home to her ancestral breeding grounds where she originally came from and the people were once again filled with emotion,” Mr Roa said.

Chanel’s number a plastic fantastic St Peter’s student Chanel Morey (pictured) plans to start a Bachelor of Design majoring in fashion at Massey University, Wellington next year.

And her hopes of finding work in the fashion industry have been boosted by a win in the Hokonui Design Awards.

A garment she completed for a school assessment formed the basis of a winning entry in the Secondary Schools Streetwear section at the Hokonui Design Awards.

The school project required the 17-year-old to create a garment using complex procedures, and she opted for a jacket using a PVC plastic.

The awards were presented recently in Gore.

MORTGAGE MATTERS

Free Up Your Cashflow

By Gavin Lynch – Yes Mortgages

Struggling with high interest rates on short term debts such as hire purchases, credit cards or personal loans??

THEN MAYBE YOU SHOULD CONSIDER DEBT CONSOLIDATION. 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!

If you would like to talk about consolidating debt, please call me at Yes Mortgages on 823 4531 or 021 783 266.

Quilt expo this weekend

By Viv Posselt

This weekend’s exhibition of quilts by members of the Cambridge Patchwork Group will blend skilled handicraft with good causes.

The August 24/25 exhibition is at St Andrew’s Church hall from 10am to 4pm on both days. It will display and sell quilts made by the group’s members; about 60 of the quilts will go to Waikato/Bay of Plenty Camp Quality youngsters.

Camp Quality New Zealand is a volunteer charitable trust that runs camps for children living with cancer. It was established in 1983 in Australia as a support network for chil-

dren living with cancer and their families, intended to enhance the quality of life.

Members of the Cambridge Patchwork Group will also have refreshments and sales tables available this weekend, plus three raffles - a Day by Day Quilt, a Jacobean Quilt, and a Pamper Basket. Proceeds from the raffles will go to the Neurological Foundation of New Zealand.

Patchwork group members worked on their quilts in the town hall’s Victoria Room last weekend during the model train exhibition hosted by the Greater Waikato Railway Modellers Exhibition. It was the second time the two groups had exhibited together – the first was in 2017.

Cyber safety expert tours schools

School across Cambridge have hosted internet safety expert John Parsons over the past fortnight, to hear information about cyber safety education.

Sponsored by the Cambridge Principals’ Association, Parsons offered advice to parents at information evenings and also made a stop at Karapiro School to speak with Karapiro and Hora Hora school students.

“I was particularly impressed by how well the students engaged with me,” he said.

During the eight information evenings held in Cambridge over August 5 – 23 Parsons’ key message for parents and educators was to anchor children to the understanding that the online world is just as much a part of their lives as “real” life, not separate.

“I have had the pleasure of working in the region this week and I have to say that I am so proud to work alongside the teachers I meet across New Zealand,” he said. “They are passionate about providing a stable values-based environment for their students.” John Parsons, pictured with school staff at More information about John Parsons’ work can Karapiro, thanked educators for the work they do. be found at www.s2e.co.nz.

Student exchange comes to Cambridge

Roto-o-rangi School has celebrated a cultural exchange this month hosting 13 Chinese students at the rural school.

The exchange visit over August 9-18 was organised by the Roto-o-Rangi and Cao Chang Jie school principals earlier this year.

“Connections with Asia are pivotal for NZ’s future and it made sense to prepare our children for that future,” said Wayne Donnellon, Roto-o-Rangi principal.

The school is one of six Cambridge schools to be providing Mandarin lessons as part of the Asian Language Learning in Schools programme. More than 50 per cent of students at the school have been learning the lanugage.

“From that simple start we have formed this first cultural student exchange. The hope is that we will be able to take our stu-

dents and teachers to China in the future,” Donnellon explained. “Two students from Roto-o-Rangi School are already joining Cambridge Primary School for an exchange to Shanghai later this year.”

As part of the exchange the two schools aim to share their educational philosophies, teaching, learning systems and methods, Donnellon said.

“The Roto-o-Rangi students have been buzzing about showing the Chinese students life in New Zealand.”

During their visit the Chinese students took part in classroom activities, learned to weave harakeke, make and use poi, play rubgy and netball, and visited a local farm, Hobbiton and Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari.

Inclusive approach nets kudos for club Bronze

By Steph Bell-Jenkins

A continued push to make Tom Voyle Park Sports Club welcoming and fun has put the local organisation in the running for a top regional netball award.

Netball coach Jacqui McCann, who nominated the club, said it had experienced “phenomenal growth” over the past year in all sports it offers – netball, football and softball – with netball doubling its numbers from three teams in 2018 to six this year.

“The club thrives on making the environment feel like home and this is its greatest success,” she said.

The club’s netball arm has recently introduced a new head coach, implemented a premier development squad and created a “visible pathway for players and umpires”. This, coupled with the use of new automated software and a focus on regular use of social media platforms, had produced a greater sense of cohesion between teams and codes, McCann said.

“At the moment it’s all about the growth of the club and through that the retention of members and making sure people want to come back year after year,” she said.

She praised the efforts of president Wayne West and his management team, for doing a great job of building on the success of previous administrators.

“They’re really focused on creating a fun, supportive family environment and offering the whole package where players, coaches, officials and volunteers are able to enjoy sport and pursue their goals in an inclusive and welcoming atmosphere,” she said.

With player numbers skyrocketing, TVP Sports has just been confirmed a Club of the Year finalist in the Netball Waikato Bay of Plenty and Splice Construction Magic Awards.

“It means a great deal to our club’s community because it reflects and recognises, on a regional level, the hard work and effort volunteers and members have put in over the past year,” Higgie said.

Ceri Hills from Cambridge Netball Centre is a finalist in the umpire/official of the year category, Kataraina Ormsby is in the running for most improved player, and St Peter’s School is shooting for the school programme of the year award.

Covering the code from grassroots to Waikato Bay of Plenty Magic level, the awards will be held at SkyCity Hamilton next Wednesday (August 28).

for Will

Cambridge athlete Will Taylor has secured a bronze medal at the New Zealand Cross Country Championships in Wellington.

The senior St Peter’s School student broke away from the pack midway through the 6km race and was part of a three-way race to the line.

This result bodes well for Taylor as he heads to Australia at the end of this month to represent New Zealand at the Australian Cross Country Championships, alongside schoolmates Charli Miller and Jemima Antoniazzi.

Will Taylor had reason to smile after finishing third in the national cross country champs.

Powerlifters eye titles at nationals

Doug McWatters during a deadlift at last week’s training.

By Sophie Iremonger

Two Cambridge powerlifters will compete at the New Zealand Powerlifting Championships this weekend.

Doug McWatters and Josh Manuel won the Open and Masters 1 regional titles respectively at the main buildup to the event, the Waikato-Bay of Plenty round.

“It was a team success,” said Doug, 39, who quite easily beat competitors in their early 20s. Next year he’ll move up into the Masters 1 category when he turns 40, but not before defending his open title at the 2020 regionals scheduled for early next year.

“It has been a long time training to get here, the hours we put in the gym have definitely paid off for us as a team. We’ve got a real brotherhood, not just Josh and I but our training partners and coach Doug Mienie.

“His inspiration and his knowledge is invaluable.”

Mienie, whose star plaque was added to the Cambridge Sports Walk of Fame in December, has achieved multiple Oceania gold medals in powerlifting in recent years, as well as being a Masters Games champion swimmer, a New Zealand Judo representative, silver medallist wrestler and a top-ten world champion bodybuilder in the 1980s.

“I’m very pleased with their progress,” said Mienie, having trained the pair at the Cambridge Fitness Centre since late 2017.

At the regional competition McWatters set a new record for the deadlift at 265kgs, and a new mark for the total, squat, bench press and deadlift, at 610kgs.

“At nationals I’m hoping to better my regional total, get some competition under my belt, and maybe increase my total by 10 or 20kgs, just up the PB (personal best).”

For Manuel, the aim is to hit a 545kg total, having achieved 520kg at regionals. To qualify for next year’s Oceania competition he needs to achieve at least 525kg at a regional or national event. McWatters has already qualified.

“Josh is coming on very good, in trainings he’s beaten all of what he did at the regional competition,” said Mienie. “He’s already ‘qualified’ in the gym, he just needs to do it officially at nationals.”

Cambridge 1st XV wins final Cambridge High School Rob May Builders 1st XV have won the Waikato Secondary Schools Co Ed Premiership after a tight tussle between Matamata College last Saturday.

The game was played as a curtain raiser to the Peace Cup match between Cambridge and Piako at Leamington Rugby Sports, which Cambridge also won.

Cambridge was awarded the Ian Foster Shield for winning the game and managed to defend the Tricolor Trophy for the 9th time of the season. This means the team can finally put their name on the Tricolor Trophy as the rules state this can only be done by the team who holds the trophy at the end of the season.

The two trophies join the Waipa Cup which Cambridge won against Te Awamutu during the pool games and the Church College Shield which Cambridge won for being the top team at the end of the pool games.

Cambridge Coach, Karl Thornton said the entire coaching and management team was ecstatic for the boys.

“They have come a long way this year and they should be very proud of their achievements. The boys have had

to work extremely hard for the last nine months and it is good to see them get rewarded for their efforts.”

The game, as predicted was a very physical encounter with two very even teams battling it out for the entire 70 minutes. In the end only one point separated the teams with the final score being 20/19 to Cambridge with Cambridge scoring four tries to Matamata’s three.

It wasn’t a good day for either kicker due to the wet grounds and weather conditions.

Thornton said only two points separated the teams in pool play with Cambridge coming out the victors 14-12 on that occasion so he knew it would be a tough encounter.

“Matamata have some great players who always play with pride and passion. On top of that they have been coached very well this season and had a good game plan that they used successfully against Cambridge.”

Cambridge took an early lead after two well executed tries to Israel Waetford on the wing before Matamata replied with a converted try making the half time score 10-7 to Cambridge.

Third games for Sam Cambridge equestrian rider Samantha McIntosh has secured a place at next year’s Olympics after a stellar run at the FEI Group G Olympic Qualifier in the Netherlands.

Riding Check In 2, the showjumper was one of only two riders – the other being Kiwi team mate Tom Tarver – to clear both rounds inside the time allowed.

Tokyo will be her third Olympic Games, but her first for New Zealand. She adopted dual New Zealand-Bulgarian citizenship in 1998 and rode Bulgaria at the 2000 and 2004 Olympic Games.

She returned to New Zealand in 2011 and built up her own horse stable in Cambridge. Last year she was part of the first New Zealand team to win the FEI Nations Cup. Samantha McIntosh

The second half continued to be an arm wrestle with both teams adding two tries each with tries to Cambridge via Kieran Thomas and Matt McHugh, the Cambridge captain.

Cambridge High School now go into the Chiefs Area Regional Finals and will play the winner of the Counties Manukau Competition. The game will be against Manurewa and will be played at Memorial Park Cambridge on Saturday, August 24 at 12.00pm.

The winner from this game will play the winner of the corresponding game that will be played against the best Co Ed schools in the Bay of Plenty and the Taranaki areas.

“Matamata attacked repeatedly our line for the last 10 minutes last week.

The Cambridge team lifted due to the crowd getting in behind them. It really helped them hold Matamata out and we will need the same against Manurewa next week.”

Thornton urged as many supporters as possible to come down to Memorial Park to support the boys.

Lacrosse boys finish with a win Get gardening Cambridge High School’s boys lacrosse team made a U-turn after a devastating loss to St Johns two weeks ago, coming away from the weekend’s double round against Hillcrest and Morrinsville with a 7-7 draw and a 12-5 win.

Despite having limited players due to sickness and injury, the boys battled through a challenging clash against Hillcrest, who started out scoring the first two goals.

“We quickly pulled back though with some great team-play,” said team coach Anthony Warrington.

It looked as though Cambridge would narrowly take the win 7-6 in the last few minutes of the game, but a poor pass on the transition gave Hillcrest the possession they needed to balance the score at 7 all.

“It was really unfortunate, but Hillcrest were playing really well and we were suffering a lot Alistair Hearmon, player of the day against Morrinsville. from injuries,” said Warrington. “Our goalkeeper had to come off with an injury and we had to put our backup goalie Sam Snape into goal, who did fantastic.

Make the most of the lovely sunny days to tidy the garden and complete any pruning but be wary the night temperatures are still dipping low – a warning that winter hasn’t finished yet.

Mulch can be applied to retain moisture in the soil and prevent weeds popping through.

Spraying Timing is critical at this time of year to prevent disease spores taking hold, such as leaf curl in peaches and nectarines, black spot in apples and shot hole in plums and cherries.

Liquid copper applied pre-bud burst and 10 to 14 days later or immediately following rain.

Codling moth is not a problem until September/October. Codling moth pheromone traps can be used to indicate the presence of male moths. It is then time to spray with Yates Success Ultra, which has been derived from natural, beneficial soil bacteria.

Strawberries Strawberry plants are available now – get them planted in fertile, freedraining soil, with full sun. Plant them 30cm apart and mulch with pea straw or use jute matting. This helps to keep the fruit clean.

Vegetables Outside plant seeds of broad beans, carrots, peas, spinach, silverbeet and brassicas.

Inside, in trays, sow tomato, chillies and capsicum, as it’s still too cold for these to germinate outside.

Potatoes Try early potatoes in a bucket – three per 15 litre bucket. Start under cover and move outside once sprouted. Remember the early varieties are quick-growing (60 – 70 days) but can’t be stored for long periods like main crop varieties.

Those with small gardens can still enjoy growing their own fruit. Check out dwarf peaches and nectarines, dwarf pear trees and columnar apples – these can be used as a screen or hedge.

Happy Gardening!

Popular as a street tree, two of these titoki are situated near the lower roundabout on Victoria Street. Normally a lowland forest tree in the North and upper South Islands, titoki has pinnate leaves, a twisting trunk and can grow to 19 metres. Purple flowers in spring are followed by a red fruit, palatable only to keruru, tui and kokako. It is this red fruit, resembling a cockscomb, which gives the plant its name, for Alectryon was a Greek soldier who enraged one of the gods and was turned into a rooster.

Hence as a cosmetic the oil was usually reserved for rangatira families.

Maori also used the oil medicinally to massage painful joints, to treat wounds and sores and inflamed eyes, to relieve constipation, and to keep insects away. The wood is both strong and elastic and was used by Maori for making adze handles.

Within the fruit are tiny black seeds, highly prized by Maori for the production of a fine oil. Traditionally this was used on hair, and when mixed with red ochre was smeared on the body as a sign of mana.

It could also be mixed with sweet smelling flowers or gum to make perfumes. Titoki oil was a status symbol because of its scarcity: titoki trees were not numerous and many seeds were needed to make a little oil, which had to be extracted by a laborious process involving the

The early European settlers used titoki oil for a lubricant in fine machinery such as clocks, and the wood, which takes a polish well, was used for cabinetry and coaches. In time however both groups replaced titoki oil with whale oil which in the nineteenth century was much more plentiful and easier to obtain. (Robert Vennell, Meaning of Trees)

Over the Moon about cheese

When Grietje De Vries arrived in New Zealand with her family in 2006 she never imagined she’d become a cheesemaker. She admits she didn’t even like cheese back then despite having come from the Netherlands, a country known for its cheeses and one of the leading cheese exporters in Europe.

Her experience in the food industry involved baking only. Following a year in various jobs around the local area, Grietje landed a position in the pack room of Over the Moon, a Putaruru cheese factory with a deli in Cambridge.

After two months packing cheese, Grietje was given the opportunity to attend a cheesemaking course. “This was so I could help out and be a backup if it was needed.” But six months later she found herself working full-time in the role and completing her cheesemaking qualifications. She is now a senior cheesemaker at Over the Moon Dairy as well as a tutor. She is currently training two students.

Grietje gets a buzz from making something people enjoy eating. While she finds soft cheeses easy to make, it’s the blues that prove more difficult.

“Getting the veining right is quite challenging.”

Similar to other varieties of cheese, the process of making blue cheese consists of a series of standard steps. However, additional ingredients and processes are required to give blue-veined cheese its particular properties.

All Over the Moon products are made for domestic markets, including supermarkets, cafés, restaurants and delicatessens up and down the country. The factory uses local cow milk, mainly sourced from a farm in Lichfield. Cow milk is typically in good supply but acquiring sheep milk is a little more difficult. It’s on seasonal supply and mostly bound for export markets. Cheeses are also made from goat and buffalo milk.

The boutique factory makes around 24,000kg of cheese a year, ranging from traditional hard cheeses like Cheshire and romano through to soft whites, blues and washed rinds.

Young people leading change

Cambridge Raceway is fortunate not to have to face closure like some tracks around the country. “We have an all-weather race surface and venue that we own freehold,” says Dave Branch, Cambridge Raceway CEO. Branch regards the reviewing of the way the industry is currently functioning and consolidating facilities as a necessary and positive step towards strengthening the industry for the long-term.

“If anything I think it’s encouraging to see so many young people who are passionate about racing coming together to support the industry

as a result of the Messara Report and the establishment of RITA. We’re determined to re-invigorate the racing industry and cement its future.”

The Racing Industry Transition Agency was appointed by Racing Minister Rt. Hon. Winston Peters on 1 July 2019 to enable the urgent changes required to drive the racing industry toward a financially sustainable future. Through the Racing Reform Act, RITA has a legislative mandate to manage the changes needed to revitalise the racing industry and carry out the

day to day functions of the TAB and Trackside.

Branch says there are always challenges.

“As with any industry that relies on public attendance, it’s about creating unique experiences, diverse offerings and keeping in

touch with what people want when it comes to entertainment options.”

Cambridge Raceway continues to develop its offerings, both from a racing and events perspective.

Cambridge to host Te Awamutu 2020 Cambridge Raceway has an exciting season ahead with the return of the Harness Jewels in May 2020. Harness Jewels is New Zealand’s premier championship harness racing event.

The raceway has introduced Friday Night Lights, a series of seven race meetings over seven Fridays being held from now to July 2020. The evenings fuse together harness racing action, social interaction, light displays, music and food truck style cuisine. “Traditionally we’ve been allocated Wednesday or Thursday night race meetings so it’s pretty exciting to get these Friday meetings.

We’re going to make the most of it,” says Dave Branch, Cambridge Raceway CEO. The season also includes other themed meetings which have been building over the

years.

The Te Awamutu grass meeting in 2020 will have to be run at Cambridge as work on the track surface prevents the scheduled meeting being held there. On the up side, this presents an opportunity to host a Saturday afternoon meeting at Cambridge Raceway, a venue close enough for Te Awamutu locals to attend.

Grass track meetings at both Rotorua and Te Aroha will still go ahead in January. “It’s great to be able to take harness racing out into other communities that wouldn’t otherwise experience it,” says Branch. “Grass harness racing offers a different experience for everyone involved and there’s a real festive vibe to the family-friendly meetings.”

Jump for Cancer comes to Equidays This year’s Equidays Showjumping Spectacular Nightshow will feature a Jump for Cancer speed class to raise funds and awareness for breast cancer. Event manager Ammie Hardie says Equidays is delighted to support the Breast Cancer Foundation NZ while putting on some great crowd entertainment. “The speed class will provide a thrilling spectacle, with between10-15 high profile riders competing over various jumps.

Jump for Cancer began when cancer survivor Lisa Tennekoon decided to combine her two passions; breast cancer fundraising and showjumping.

After travelling extensively to jumping shows in Europe, Tennekoon decided to bring the sport into the city of Christchurch. The result has been a hugely successful. “I

wanted to expand the event throughout New Zealand and Equidays was my first choice as a way to do this.”

Equidays runs from October 18-20 at Mystery Creek.

Alpacas full of the warm fuzzies

Keenan Scott grew up on a large scale commercial orchard with not an alpaca in sight.

Prior to becoming a full-time alpaca farmer over 15 years ago he had careers in electrical engineering and accountancy. He and his partner Denise have been in Cambridge since 2015 sharing their love of alpacas.

Their early alpacas were a mixture of Australian and Peruvian genetics imported into

Carbon negative Cambridge farm

Keenan Scott's Cambridge farm supports a diversity of animals to allow for cross grazing to combat parasites and help with weed control and grass length. Sprays or chemical fertilisers are not used in his farming methods. He and his partner Denise work with the soils and plants to invigorate and fortify their stock and build up their natural immunity. Flax grown on the property is fed to cattle, donkeys, goats and bison for parasite control.

Their alpacas and llamas get diversity of feed from trees they coppice and graze. They are also liberally fed diatomaceous earth. Like sheep, alpacas require shearing and similar nutrition although they eat less than a sheep, being around 0.75 of a stock unit. The major difference, however, is that having evolved in the Andes they require a vitamin D boost. “If not stocked too heavily, alpacas need very little parasite control as have they poo piles and, unlike sheep, don’t spread their manure and worms over their entire grazing area,” says Scott.

The ongoing planting of natives in areas that are permanently retiring from grazing is important to the couple's commitment to remain carbon negative. It also provides habitats for bees and bird corridors depleted from the immediate area.

New Zealand. “Our very first alpaca a female was from Canada, who we still have today,” says Scott. “She is in her twenties but generally alpacas live into their late teens.”

The couple like working with alpacas as the animals are gentle, don’t require any special fencing and fit with their organic and permaculture lifestyle. But what really wins the day for them, over other livestock, is economics and the opportunity to value-add by manufacturing product from their fibre.

Their alpacas are inherently nosey, curious and approachable. “They have an endearing way with people and a grace that makes visitors relax and enjoy an encounter with them. And their cria are just right downright cuter than cute,” says Scott, who operates an alpaca tour business. “Visitors may come for a variety of reasons but we find they leave having gained so much more in experiences and knowledge. This could be about the animals themselves, the journey of fibre from animal to finished product or just having had time to just relax, smile and enjoy the simple things like picking fruit from the trees.”

Alpaca getting up close and friendly with visitors

If conditions are wet for weeks and you don’t have a feed pad, do as much as you can to avoid damaging the pasture, advises NZ farm systems specialist Chris Glassey. “Graze the first break of several paddocks to limit the number of times cows move through each gateway. Put supplements in the paddock before the cows arrive. This reduces stock movement and pasture damage when it’s wet.”

Glassey says it’s okay to allocate bigger areas - a faster rotation - as long as this can be slowed down when it’s not raining. “Of course, if you have a stand-off pad, use that.”

If winter growth exceeds expectations and there is high pasture cover at calving, a slower-thanaverage spring growth rate may result. This is due

to nitrogen having been used up growing grass in the winter. Pastures could be slower to re-grow as they’re more open as the base has been shaded.

Using DairyNZ’s Spring Rotation Planner to allocate pasture appropriately can help until growth rates are achieved and there is the cover to move faster. The application of some nitrogen to fill any projected deficits may be necessary.

Regular pasture assessment is important for pasture utilisation. If pasture growth is below target, don’t speed up the rotation. “Stay on the allocated area per day as long as you can, and keep an eye on your residuals. If they’re getting too low, use supplements to feed the cows and apply nitrogen fertiliser to boost growth,” says Glassey.

Cows are the best judge of how well pasture

FRIDAYAugust AUGUST 2019 Friday 23, 23, 2019

Quality all the way Over 30 years ago, former Waikato refrigeration engineer Frans van Schie took a failed Ohaupo mushroom farm that he’d built for a client and turned it into a successful enterprise. He renamed it Quality Mushrooms and through sheer hard work and dedication was able to buy out all the shareholders. These days the business is run by his two sons, Daniel and Maarten, although the nowretired Frans still helps out now and again.

Frans’ ‘can-do’ ethic carries through to today. The business is self-sufficient in that it does its own repairs and develops specialist machinery. Staff loyalty is strong. The whole team comes together each week to consult and have their say. It’s a formula that has worked well for the likes of long-time employees, Dennis Gray and Vance Bos, and a good many others who have clocked up many years with the business.

From four growing rooms, the farm now has nine, plus a

Frans, Maarten and Daniel van Schie

compost yard, tunnel facilities and numerous other integral parts.

Staff numbers have swelled to between 35-40. But growth has not been without struggles. “The market is very cut throat and prices are volatile,” explains managing director, Daniel van Schie.

Growing mushrooms is labour intense, requiring many working parts to make it all happen. Mushrooms are very fragile and have competitors and other pests and diseases which have to be battled with. “Production can easily go from very good to very bad in a matter of a week, sometimes less,” says van Schie.

The family-run farm supports local businesses, is environmentally conscious and tries to do the right thing. It is a past winner of Zero Waste Awards and in the last two years has planted over 4,000 native species to help with conservation. Most of the farm’s electricity is generated from over 70kw of solar panels. Bio filters are currently being manufactured on site.

Overall, the business strives for excellence and to live up to its quality name. Over 60 per cent of all produce leaves the doors within 24 hours of being picked and is delivered to customers as fresh as possible. Nothing leaves the farm older than 72 hours.

The company aims to keep production up as high as possible and has no plans of slowing down.

Quality compost needed for quality mushrooms Compost-making methods at Quality Mushrooms have transformed with the times and technologies. Not only have changes been made to where raw materials are sourced from, soil scientists and overseas consultants help ensure the business is doing its best with the facilities it has. “We have made many errors in the past and have dealt with a lot of difficult times,” says Dan van Schie.

While explaining the process of making compost is long and involved, simply put it begins as a biological process where bacteria and bugs do the work. Once the compost gets to a certain

Takahe chicks leave home

Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari bids farewell to four takahe chicks who are off to a new home. This season, two resident breeding pair of takahe contributed three new chicks. They were successfully raised past the critical danger period with assistance from last year’s female juveniles who helped with feeding and keeping a close eye on the new family members. Maungatautari takahe are specifically on-site as breeding pairs and as an insurance reserve in case of a major disaster elsewhere, says species co-ordinator, Dr Janelle Ward. “All the birds from the ‘insurance’ sites are treated as a meta-population, so are often transferred between sites to maintain genetic diversity and avoid inbreeding.”

The two young males are among those leaving. They are valuable for the takahe breeding programme and unlikely to be welcome as helpers for this coming year’s breeding season. Young males, according to Phil March of DOC’s Takahe Recovery Programme, can be disruptive at nests. It is for the family’s best interests that they are separated prior to the breeding season.

The four flightless birds are soon to defy nature and fly to Burwood Bush, DOC’s main

breeding site near Te Anau, to eventually become established in new homes.

To date, 14 juveniles have been successfully raised at Maungatautari and seven of these have gone on to breed successfully at other sites. The breeding

of takahe at the sanctuary has helped contribute 26 takahe to the growing total population. The takahe has now been downgraded from nationally critical to nationally vulnerable. Official takahe numbers reached 376 in 2019.

temperature, the process converts itself into a natural chemical process. The composting breaks down the sugars and proteins converting them into nitrogen and releasing ammonia. After this stage is complete, the compost is put into a tunnel and pasteurized to create a selective growing media.

Good quality compost is the base of mushroom growing, according to van Schie. “Without good compost, you won’t grow mushrooms. The compost is where the mycelium grows and gets all its food source from. If there is no good food source, then there are no mushrooms.”

Flavours

Can do

As gastronome Andre L Simon stated: ‘Canned foods at times are essential — although there are probably many people who believe anchovies have been born and bred in a can.’

The French wax lyrical about their favourite restaurants, the first asparagus or strawberries of the season or the best ‘boulangerie’.

It is therefore perhaps curious that a Frenchman was the first to preserve food in cans, thus introducing convenience to cooking.

Nicholas Appert, a confectioner, was the father of modern commercial canning. During the 1790s he experimented with preserving meats, vegetables and fruits under controlled, hygienic conditions. In 1803, he sent samples to the French navy for trialling. The French government awarded him 12,000 francs to publish a full account of his work. As a result, factories were established all over Europe — in competition with Appert!

According to food manufacturers, there is often more goodness in canned food than fresh varieties which may have been badly cooked. Canned foods are cooked under controlled conditions inside an airtight container — the nutrients and flavours are trapped and cannot escape. No preservatives are needed as it is the canning process which preserves the food.

It is generally recommended that canned foods be kept no longer than two years. This is not because of the spoilage factor or loss of nutrients but because of chemical changes which may make the product unpalatable.

BLINDED BY THE LIGHT Javed is a British teen of Pakistani descent growing up in 1987 England, amidst the racial and economic turmoil of the times. He writes poetry as a means to escape the intolerance of his hometown and the inflexibility of his traditional father. When a classmate introduces him to the music of Bruce Springsteen, he sees parallels to his working-class life in the powerful lyrics. As Javed discovers an outlet for his own pent-up dreams he also begins to express himself in his own voice, learns to live life, and understand his family. It's heart-warming, heart-breaking and funny all at the same time as well as thoroughly entertaining. A feel-good movie that will have you smiling from ear to ear.

THE KITCHEN Between 8th Ave. and the Hudson River, the Irish mafia runs 20 blocks of a tough New York City neighbourhood known as Hell's Kitchen. But for mob wives Kathy, Ruby and Claire, things are about to take a dramatic and radical turn. When the FBI sends their husbands to prison, the three women take business into their own hands by running the rackets and taking out the competition. A solid good gangland movie with surprises you don't see coming. An excellent cast in a really entertaining movie. The plot is full of fun twists and surprises. The reviews are quite mixed, but If you like the ‘organized crime family’ genre, then you'll like this. Some say it is better than Widows, which was a very good film.

Cup final time for Cambridge

Cambridge will again host football’s big knockout finals when eight men’s and women’s teams come to John Kerkhof Park in search of silverware this weekend.

For the fourth time in six years, Cambridge FC has been entrusted with hosting WaiBOP Football’s finals of the men’s and women’s Waikato Cup and Plate competitions.

On Saturday, the cup action starts at noon with the men’s Waikato Plate final between Hamilton Wanderers Classics and Otorohanga.

That game is followed at 2.30pm by the final of the Waikato Cup between the two top teams in Waikato Division 1, Melville United and Huntly Thistle.

On Sunday, the women’s plate final gets underway at 11am when Te Aroha Cobras play Otorohanga.

At 1.30pm, the women’s Waikato Cup final will see last year’s winners, West Hamilton United, meet Tokoroa.

All four games will go to extra time if scores are level after normal time. Penalty shoot-outs will be used if teams can not be separated after two hours of play.

Cambridge has hosted previous finals days, attracting upwards of 800 spectators to John Kerkhof Park as the region’s football fans look to enjoy the sudden-death nature of cup football.

As a consequence of hosting the finals, all Cambridge FC senior teams will play their fixtures away from home.

The Reds travel to Auckland to play second-placed Manurewa in their penultimate Northern League fixture of the season.

Cambridge sit fifth on the Lotto NRFL second division table but will play a key role in helping decide which two teams will earn promotion to division one as their last two games are against Manurewa and table-toppers Metro FC. Last weekend, the Reds influenced out-

comes at the other end of the table when a 2-2 draw with Onehunga Mangere provided a potential lifeline for the Aucklanders who are vying with Northland FC to escape relegation from the league.

Onehunga Mangere helped their case for survival by taking a sixth minute lead at John Kerkhof Park through Matthew Metzger.

The Reds worked their way back into the game with an equaliser from in-form Josh Clarkin, his 13th goal of the season and his fifth in as many games.

The visitors took a lead three minutes into the second spell through Rinai Prasad.

Cambridge have shown much resilience this season, fighting back when trailing, and winger Luke Stephenson came up with the Reds’ second goal after 59 minutes.

The goal was Stephenson’s fifth first team goal this year, marking his improvement since arriving from England last summer.

Meanwhile, Cambridge reserves are finishing their 2019 season strongly with their second win in a row.

After beating Northland FC 2-1 the previous week, Cambridge’s second string side came out of their home encounter with Onehunga Mangere on the right end of a 3-2 thriller.

The game got off to a flying start when Cristian Angulo gave the Reds the lead in the second minute.

Just after the half hour, Devon Andrews doubled Cambridge’s lead.

The sides turned around with Cambridge leading 2-0 but the visitors’ Ben Allen reduced the deficit with a goal in the 46th minute.

Angulo reinstated Cambridge’s two-goal margin with his fourth goal of the season, scoring in the 55th minute.

Allen pulled back another goal three minutes later, ensuring the last half hour was tight with either side capable of securing the result.

Cambridge held firm to take the 3-2 victory.

In the WaiBOP Championship, Cambridge’s third team lost 2-1 in a tight match at home to Otumoetai.

The visitors took a 1-0 lead into half-time and then found a second half goal.

Cambridge replied through substitute Luuk van Wagtendonk in the 88th minute.

In Waikato Division 3, Cambridge lost 9-1 to Claudelands Rovers Vets at Galloway Park in a game that featured three hat-tricks from opposing players.

Scorer for Cambridge was Scott Jenkins whose goal came from the penalty spot.

In Waikato Division 4, Cambridge lost 2-1 at John Kerkhof Park to Northern United’s Gaffers.

Cambridge’s women’s team were credited with a 3-0 win when opponents Northern United defaulted their match as they were unable to field a team.

In the WaiBOP Federation Y-League, Cambridge’s U-13s lost 4-1 to Melville United after trailing 2-0 at the break.
