Cambridge film taking shape

At the first film shoot on Saturday, The Tavern actor Phil Palmer gets a touch-up from crew member Sarah Price.

By Sophie Iremonger

Filming has started for the Cambridge based film The Tavern. Director Matt Hicks was delighted with the day-one shoot at a Cambridge bar, which sells beer with a questionable name, on Saturday. He said it couldn’t have gone better. “Everyone was perfect,” he said. “We learnt so much, and shooting since then has been even better. “We’re all up-and-comers, aspirational, young and hungry to do well, so everybody’s on the same page.” Filming was due to continue this week in the Hautapu industrial area, and possibly at a football ground in Cam-

bridge. He said planning and rehearsing for the film over the past six months had been bedlam, but seeing it all come together certainly made up for it. “There has been many a sleepless night and plenty of stress, it’s like handling a million little things, trying to keep a lot of balls in the air at the same time. It can be a hard thing. But when you have your shoot days and things go right, the actors jell, they hit their lines right, it all makes it really worthwhile.” Filming is continuing this week and throughout the coming weeks and weekends on-and-off, with actors from Auckland, Hamilton and Cambridge involved. About 90 percent of filming is taking place in Cambridge, with just a

few shoots in Hamilton and Te Aroha. On September 27 the crew will be filming a scene where plenty of extras are required – and Matt hopes to get as many Cambridge people in there as possible to film a climactic scene. “As many as we can get would be great, the more the better.” Anyone can be an extra in the movie, men or women. “Anyone over 18 who can be in a pub for a day, just a good spread from the community.” Matt is also looking to recruit one or two iconic Cambridge faces for a few one-liners in the movie. He said people interested in signing up as an extra can join the Facebook group: The Tavern-Feature Film.

Election issues I became a Cambridge resident ratepayer almost a year ago so have been taking an interest in civic matters and more so in the past weeks as elections loom. Most ratepayers expect their Council to take an active interest in things such as roads, rubbish and provision of good quality water, waste and storm water and once those things are sorted to look after social matters as the budget allows. This is the only Council I have known that has no interest in rubbish collection or disposal and is only vaguely aware of what happens to recyclables. Nor does this Council believe in fluoridated water, something I have not experienced in 40 years, and I, my children and grandchildren, have teeth that prove the benefit. When I inquired as to why Council has wiped its hands of governing both rubbish and fluoride, I was told that some time ago the community was polled, and Council is merely doing what the community wanted. The question must then be why do we need to elect about 30 well paid Councillors and Community Board members. Surely, we could make a saving if we used Facebook or Neighbourly. I then decided to find out who the candidates were who wanted my vote for the 10 vacancies on offer. The big bombshell is that 5 of the 16 don’t actually live in Cambridge. My challenge to the 16 hopefuls is to advise me of just how they would vote, if given the chance, on the issues of rubbish, fluoride and any other matters they think may sway me. Those non-residents may also like to identify their place of residence. (Abridged) Murray Reid Leamington Our world – their legacy I look forward to reading Peter Matthews’ column, until recently we “know it all” adults have regarded ourselves more intelligent than our children and grandchildren. Now with their vastly advanced learning potential we must accept that “our world” will soon become “their legacy”. While we argue and avoid the difficult and painful solutions which will take generations to reverse climate change, they will have the problem of mitigating its effects on the whole world. With the ‘greening’ of Greenland, Trump sees the buying of this island, the largest island in the world, as a means to an end to “where do I put these undesirable Hispanics and Latino’s”? A cold penal colony. America’s answer to Siberia. I agree with your wife Peter. In Northern England a ‘trump’ was a euphemism for ‘flatulence’. Brian Dunstan

Kapa haka record By Sophie Iremonger

The sixth annual Cambridge Combined Schools Kapa Haka Festival held at the Don Rowlands Centre last week was once again a success this year, attracting another record turnout from both students and the public, with 11 schools taking part (up from nine last year) and a noticeably larger crowd. Organised by Cambridge High School’s Māori leadership group Te Hunga Tai Kākā, the event aims to celebrate and promote Māori culture, and bring the community together. “It’s really cool to see everyone involved, and to see how much it’s grown from being an afterschool thing,” said one of the senior student organisers, Mariana Tamaki. The cultural showcase originally started in 2014 as an evening event inside the Cambridge Town Hall, but moved to Karapiro last year to cater to its growing number of participants. This year saw performances from Leamington School, Cambridge Primary, Cambridge East, Kaipaki, Hautapu, Goodwood, Ngāti Hauā, St Peter’s Catholic, Cambridge Middle, St Peter’s and Cambridge High School. Waikato Tainui supported the event again this year, sponsoring the venue and providing prizes and goodie bags to schools who demonstrated a great sense of heart and pas-

One young Tamahere actor is touring the country this month in his latest role with the award-winning theatre show A Doll’s House. Ollie Shallcrass, 10, is playing Billy in the Twist Productions show which tours Dunedin, Nelson, and Hamilton over September 6 – 14. Ollie said it was an honour to be cast in the show and he was “incredibly stoked”, adding that he’s looking forward to learning new acting skills and getting tips from the professionals. The Year 5 student from Tamahere Model Country School has played various roles in school productions and performed in lead roles for Ignite Performing Arts School in Cambridge and Arts on Show in Hamilton.

He was recently cast as “Sherlock Poirot”, a French speaking Detective in an Ignite holiday workshop performance in July this year, where he spoke with a French accent for the entire show. In his latest production, his biggest show to date, A Doll’s House stars a number of familiar Kiwi actors portraying the Henrik Ibsen classic. Nora Helmer has it all: a successful and attractive husband, a big house and two charming children. But as Christmas festivities get underway, events from the past return to wreak havoc in paradise. Nora’s life begins to fracture, leaving her trapped inside a web of secrets and lies. The show comes to Hamilton’s Clarence Street Theatre

Armistice sculpture nearly complete

By Steph Bell-Jenkins

Cambridge’s iconic white church is about to get some company from a new landmark being built at town’s northern entrance. Work to install the 6m high, five-tonne Le Quesnoy memorial sculpture began recently at a site diagonally opposite St Andrew’s church, on the corner of Thornton Rd and Victoria St. “It’s going to make a massive statement,” said Armistice in Cambridge chair Paul Watkins. “It’s quite a modern piece and it’s in a wonderfully prominent location.” Paul’s group commissioned the sculpture to commemorate 100 years since New Zealand WW1 soldiers (including a number from Cambridge) liberated the French town of Le Quesnoy from the Germans on November 4, 1918. Local artist and kaumatua Fred Graham designed it, taking inspiration from the Eiffel Tower and the silver fern to create a work denoting both celebration and sacrifice. The sculpture was originally due to go up in time for last November’s Armistice in Cambridge celebrations, but Paul said the process of getting it into the ground had been vastly more complex than anticipated. “There have been lighting, draining, engineering considerations – we don’t want to put it up and have it fall over – so there’s been a huge amount of work involved with consents and everything,” he said. However, with all red tape now cleared, diggers were due to rumble onto the site

yesterday to begin installing a 10m-wide concrete plinth, shaped like Le Quesnoy’s walled town boundary. “That will take about 4-5 weeks and we’re hoping to unveil it on Saturday the 2nd of November, because that’s the day closest weekend to the 4th of November, which is the 101-year anniversary of Le Quesnoy’s liberation,” Paul said. “So the concrete might sit here for a couple of weeks until the sculpture’s lifted into position.” Victoria St resident Maureen Pearson, whose windows will look directly over the sculpture, has been eagerly anticipating its arrival. “It’s an absolutely wonderful idea,” she said. “We’ve been dying to see it go up since the end of last year. It’s a beautiful thing, from the photo.” Her neighbour Henrica Kivits also liked the idea. “It’s something different for people to look at,” she said. Paul said the $100,000 artwork had been paid for by the national WW100 lotteries fund, with the Cambridge Community Board chipping in a small amount to help with installation costs. Local contractors had been hugely supportive, with all offering free or discounted services, and the public’s response to the project had been “overwhelmingly positive”. Ten-year-old Vivien Pettit and her mother Fiona, who walked past the site on Monday, were also enthusiastic about Cambridge’s newest landmark, although Fiona was surprised they hadn’t heard about it.

Sod it: Cambridge Community Board chair Mike Pettit, Armistice in Cambridge chair Paul Watkins, Waipa District Councillor Liz Stolwyk and Brigadier Jon Broadley prepare to turn the first sod at the site of the Le Quesnoy memorial sculpture (inset, artist’s impression) on Victoria St, where work got underway this week.

“I think it’s nice that they’re commemorating the soldiers and our relationship (with Le Quesnoy),” Vivien said. Paul said it was “extremely exciting” to see

Volunteers paint town yellow By Sophie Iremonger

Daffodil Day was a busy time for a number of organisations, volunteers and good sorts in Cambridge. The Cancer Society’s annual fundraiser on Friday, August 30 saw over 15,000 fresh daffodils sold around town, grown and picked by volunteers in the weeks leading up to the big day. Victoria Street alone saw six sites selling daffodils and collecting donations, stretching from BP to Rumor. Outside ANZ, some of Cambridge’s elite athletes took turns manning a Daffodil Day stall, one of 15 around Cambridge. There, a group of Cambridge Middle School’s track cycling students caught up with an icon in the sport, two-time Commonwealth gold medallist Sam Webster, who collected a donation

of over $800 raised by the school through sausage sizzles and a mufti day. Just down the street outside BNZ, a sea of hundreds of daffodils lined the footpath, sold by Cancer Society volunteers manning two-hour shifts. Volunteer and driver Jennie Wildeboer stuck around for a double shift. “It’s very rewarding to do this, especially for the Cancer Society,” she said. “And all these daffodils are just so beautiful.” Cambridge Daffodil Day coordinator Nicky White couldn’t provide a final figure yet for how much was raised in Cambridge for Daffodil Day, but confirmed it topped last year’s record figure with well over $21,000 raised in 2019. “Those who were in Cambridge for Daffodil Day this year were amazingly generous, often donating and tak-

ing nothing in return,” she said. “These funds mean the Cancer Society can continue to provide experienced nurses to provide information and support, support groups and wellness programmes for people with cancer and their carers, free transport to medical appointments and treatment and free accommo-

dation and meals for people who travel long distances to receive treatment at Waikato Hospital. “We are so grateful to all the volunteers who come back year on year and to all the new people who came on board and got involved in the Cancer Society’s largest fundraiser.”

Cancer Society volunteer Jennie Wildeboer was one of many selling flowers in Cambridge on Daffodil Day.

about five years of work finally coming to fruition. “Everybody’s got behind this in a big way, it’s so cool,” he said.

Bond girl wanted Pool project boost By Sophie Iremonger

The hunt is on for James Bond and his fetching female co-star. The double-show at the Gaslight Theatre later this year will feature two one-act plays – Snip and Bonking James Bond. Director Steve McMurray confirmed the search continues for an actor to play

James Bond, and an actress to play his girlfriend, the “Bond girl” named Svetlana. “Anyone is welcome to give it a crack,” said Steve. “I want to encourage anyone to come along. I’m more than happy to work with someone who hasn’t been on stage for a while or hasn’t been on stage ever.” Steve has much of the casting already in mind for

Cambridge director Steve McMurray, pictured sitting on the halffinished set of the upcoming show Les Liaisons Dangereuses (running September 14 – 28) hopes to see people put their hands up for the roles of James Bond and his girlfriend.

the double-play, but has only had one person come forward to audition for James Bond, and no one for the Bond girl. Rehearsals start September 29, so potential actors should get in touch with Steve on 027 325 3773 to find out about auditioning. “Age isn’t a biggy, (the Bond girl) could be anyone from 20 to 40. And James Bond can be 25 – 45, maybe 35-plus preferably but I’m not going to be too fussy!” The one-act show Bonking James Bond follows the story of a wife who discovers her husband is having an affair, and creates an imaginary affair with James Bond in an attempt to frighten her husband into coming back to her. As designed by playwright April Phillips, the same Bond girl actress will also play the husband’s mistress, Penelope. Meanwhile, the other show Snip will feature a different cast telling the tale of a man whose wife wants him to get a vasectomy. “That will be a bit of fun,” said Steve. “It appeals to male and female.” New Zealand playwright April Phillips has confirmed she will be attending the final night of the show on December 7.

An extra $50,000 has been donated to the Cambridge Pools project bringing it another step closer to its $2 million fundraising target. The funds from Grassroots Trust take donations towards the construction of the indoor pool to more than $1.6 million. This is the second grant awarded to the project by the Trust, following a donation of $200,000 last year. Waipa District Council mayor Jim Mylchreest said 15 sponsors had donated to the project so far. Construction on the complex began in May 2018 when the original structure was demolished and the site cleared. Contractors then installed the water supply, wastewater and stormwater systems and laid the foundations of the structure.

Mylchreest said work on the project was now above ground and the facility was starting to take shape. “We are happy with the progress on site. We have started work on the construction of the 25m pool and on the structure of the building so the work is on track.” The new indoor pool complex will include an upgrade of the existing outdoor pool, a new 10-lane indoor pool and learner’s pool, a hydrotherapy pool, spa and sauna and a children’s splash pad. There will be increased seating and a community room as well as car-parking and landscaping. The project is expected to be complete by mid next year and information on the project is at waipadc.govt.nz/cambridgepool.

Funding open for creative projects Waipa District Council has opened its September funding round for the Creative Communities Scheme with more than $22,000 available for art and community-based projects. Council’s Creative Communities Scheme administrator Regan Schoultz said the funding initiative aimed to support community-based arts initiatives that help grow and promote creativity, and noted that the 15 successful applicants in the previous funding round signalled the arts sector in Waipā was

thriving. “The Creative Communities Scheme is a fantastic way for local creatives to share their skills and knowledge with the community. Each year we fund projects from music festivals to painting workshops so there is a wide scope of things we can provide funding for,” Schoultz said. The funding, which is provided by Creative New Zealand for councils to administer, can cover materials for arts activities, workshops, venue or equipment hire, pro-

motion of arts activitie and more. This round is open to projects that run between November 30, 2019 and May 1, 2020. Each project should focus on at least one of the scheme’s three criteria – access and participation, diversity or young people. Application forms can be made online at waipadc.govt. nz/creativecommunities and must be in by 5pm, Monday September 30. Forms can also be picked up from Council offices in Te Awamutu (Bank St) and Cambridge (Wilson St).

Positive ‘reaction’ in new classroom

Cambridge Primary School’s new classroom has received the tick of approval from students trying out their first experiment in the new science lab and multi-use classroom. The new room – an old toilet block re-built and re-done from the inside out thanks to five-yearly funding from the Ministry of Education – was officially opened with a blessing on Tuesday last week, with students getting inside the new learning space not long after. Principal Mike Pettit said the new room, being used for science lessons as well as a challenge-and-extension class, would be an “amazing asset” to the school. “It gives that learning opportunity in a purpose-built space,” he said. “It’s quite different.” Challenge and extension teacher Kate Watson, and science teacher Ange Hay, were looking forward to starting classes inside the new room last week – and the students were equally eager to get going inside the new learning space, starting off with a simple chemistry experiment. The room will operate as a science lab for the school’s weekly arts-andscience day every Thursday, and for two days a week it will function as a challenge and extension classroom. – By Sophie Iremonger

I live just out of Cambridge and have resided here most of my life, but more importantly I am a part of this vibrant, thriving, connected and welcoming community. Cambridge is my hometown. I have four children, many mokopuna and extended whanau who have always been very supportive of the initiatives that I undertake. I have enjoyed working with Waipā councillors for many years and have made positive contributions to projects such as the Cambridge bypass, being an Independent Hearings Commissioner, and a member of Council’s Regulatory Committee and Strategic Planning and Policy Committee. I will continue to be a strong advocate for resource equality within Cambridge. I have a strong passion for our environment and will champion the environmental regeneration of Cambridge’s natural spaces such as Lake Te Kō Utu and Maungatautari mountain. I am an experienced governor and hold several trustee and director positions, including being co-chair of Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari, and chair of a commercial farming operation for local iwi, Ngāti Koroki Kahukura. As Cambridge continues to grow, I will endeavour to ensure that all current and future residents will have access to sustainable and affordable infrastructure.

I will work for you to ensure Cambridge and Waipa remains a desirable place to live, work and play. Ron Geck I’ve lived in the Cambridge area for over five decades and have been actively involved with many community organisations. I’m married to Willy and have three adult children. For the past 20 years I’ve been involved with commercial property development and leasing. It’s always a thrill to see an opportunity, where I can facilitate an outcome that works for everyone. I believe Cambridge will be faced with many challenges as it continues to grow. Our challenge is to make sure it continues to be the great place everyone enjoys. We can’t keep plugging more families and businesses into existing infrastructure. Accordingly, Waipa’s councillors and the Council’s executive need to plan for the future and be held accountable. Not allowed to hide behind red tape, rules and regulations; scared to make decisions. Similarly, we owe it to future generations to ensure development is of a high standard and that those making the promises when consent is given, are made to deliver. My energies will be focussed promoting a solutions-based approach from all branches of council. My commitment is to lobby for Cambridge, to ensure it gets fair consideration at council, that its infrastructure constraints are addressed, and they’re resourced accordingly.

Roger Gordon Mr Gordon is standing for both the Cambridge Community Board and as a ward councillor. His statement appeared last week under the profiles for board candidates. Steve Grounds Cambridge is a place which I am proud to call my home. I’ve lived in and around this area most of my life and my wife Kim and I are very much settled here. We’ve seen Cambridge grow from a small town to the bustling and thriving community it is today. While this growth is positive, it presents a number of challenges. There is a need to ensure that we plan and manage future growth and at the same time ensure that we maintain and preserve the special character of our township. We need to continue to invest in infrastructure and public amenities but ensure that we minimise rate increases. Council also need to ensure that they fulfil their role in ensuring that Cambridge is a safe place to live, a place to where people continue to want to come to live and raise a family or to retire. Council need to consult with, listen to, and seek to represent the interests and needs of people living on both sides of the bridge and the local business community. If elected, I bring to the table 25 years of experience in management and governance, including the undertaking of independent performance and compliance assessments of local government and government organisa-

Candidate profiles – WDC, Cambridge Ward tions and a commitment to ensuring Council listens, is held accountable and seeks to represent the interests of the wider Cambridge community. Greg Keyte The Waipā district has been a great place to grow up and to raise my three daughters. I am passionate about the region. Waipā is home to fantastic people and provides for a lifestyle that most envy, hence the pressure to grow. Over the next 10 years we are going to see unprecedented growth. Cambridge will virtually double in size and that is a significant transformation. The opportunities that our region provide is bringing industry, retail and families to the region. The council has done a fantastic job to create these opportunities but now we need some innovative thinking to manage this transformation to ensure the Waipā continues to be the place we love with the values and lifestyle we cherish. Many of the services we have taken for granted are going to be under enormous pressure. That means we are going to have to find new and innovative ways to maintain our way of life rather than pay even more taxes or rates. This includes services such as health and education that are not currently council responsibilities. Communities are going to have to take a proactive stance to ensure we all continue to grow, play and stay comfortably in our region. As we grow, we are going to get closer to being a suburb of Hamilton. This will be unavoidable, but I am passionate that the lifestyle and values that make the Waipā region

such a wonderful place need to be retained. To achieve this, we need to do better. Mike Pettit I have lived in Cambridge since 1998, married to Nic and have six wonderful children. I enjoy the outdoors, boating, travelling with family, community events and following my children’s sport and education. I have served on the Cambridge Community Board for nine years, last six as Chairperson. I’m principal of Cambridge Primary School, Chair ANZAC/Armistice Day and Le Quesnoy Sister City Committees, Chair the Cambridge Historical Charitable Trust, focused on building a new museum for Cambridge. I have coached, previously served as Vice President of the Cambridge Chamber of Commerce and been a member of the Waikato Netball Board. I wish to make the shift to the council table, helping ensure the growth of our great town is timely, sustainable and delivers positive outcomes. I want to make a positive difference for you at the individual level, ensuring council delivers services that are to your expectations. I am a proud Cambridge resident and will do all I can to ensure Cambridge is the best, safest town in New Zealand. I listen, advocate for you and walk the talk. I would value your vote.

Liz Stolwyk Hello Cambridge! My name is Liz and I am an experienced councillor seeking re-election. Steady leadership has seen my second term on council finish with a thriving business district, controlled growth, the Cambridge pool near completion, funding confirmed for the Cambridge Town Hall and an increase in pensioner housing. Sensible rate increases have seen me act prudently with the finances to keep Cambridge prosperous. Having lived in the Waipa District for many years I currently manage Mighty River Domain at Lake Karapiro (15 years) and have developed the business for the Sir Don Rowlands function centre. My Cambridge history also includes managing the Cambridge i-Site and Chamber of Commerce for three years. I have plenty of energy and strive to work constructively with many organisations and have strong interpersonal and organisational skills.

Representation for families and a need for social and economic balance is what I am strongly passionate about. I also strive for a vibrant community with great community facilities that covers our whole community, young and the super aged! I am married to Andrew with three growing (always hungry!) school aged boys. Please use your vote to ensure our incoming council is well balanced, has diversity and skilled. I appreciate that many of you will not have met me, I welcome your thoughts, ideas and your scrutiny. Graeme Webber It has been a privilege to have been a Cambridge Councillor in the Waipa District for the last 18 years, serving as Deputy Mayor for the last nine years, firstly as Deputy Mayor for Alan Livingston then our current Mayor Jim Mylchreest. I have also served on the Cambridge Community Board for 15 years during this time. Working with community groups such as the Senior Council, the Youth Council and the districts service groups has been very rewarding in helping them achieve what they desire for a better town and district. We are all striving to make sure that we preserve the things that Cambridge is known for, great place to live, our trees, parks, greenbelt, walkways, cycleways, boutique shops, cafés and outstanding sporting facilities as Cambridge continues to grow. I support this direction for our town.

Cambridge business reigns supreme at

Gourmet Delicious has been named the Supreme Winner at the Waipa Business Awards. The Cambridge catering company – which catered for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge during their visit to Waipa – topped the district as the overall winner at the gala dinner on August 30. They also won Excellence in Business: Large and Excellence in Innovation and Knowledge. The owners Kim Moodie and Ali Foers said they were honoured to with the awards and credited their “amazing” team and loyal customers. “It has taken many years of hard work from everyone to get to where we are today and we love being part of the Cambridge community,” they said.

The business also operates local eateries Suburban Kitchen, Podium Café and GD Eats. Podium Café worker Laura Lo Nobile was named Employee of the Year. Meanwhile a popular Cambridge coffee stop, Homebrew Coffee, took out Excellence in Business: New and Emerging, Best Customer Service and the Customer Choice Award. Having opened for business earlier this year, directors Blair and Tayler Paterson said they were blown away by the support of the Cambridge community. “Our customers have shown us nothing but love since our doors opened,” said Blair. “To us, these awards represent a community effort and an exciting future ahead for the business.” The Cambridge i-SITE and Destination Cambridge took out two awards on the

Destination Cambridge CEO Miff Macdiarmid said the team was thrilled to win two awards. “Particularly the community and sustainability one as we have been chipping away at initiatives in these areas,” she said. “It’s nice to think the small steps are adding up to progress. “The awards are a reflection of the team – staff, volunteers and board members who all contribute to make it a great place to work. We really enjoy being a part of the community and the ‘welcome’ for our tourists.” Cambridge pharmacist Kevin Burgess was

awarded for Outstanding Services to Business, having spent nearly four decades as a business owner in Cambridge – starting with the purchase of Mullins Pharmacy in 1981, followed by the amalgamation to Amcal Cambridge in 1996 which eventually became Unichem Cambridge. Some staff had been with him for over 30 years, and it was hard T to thank them enough, he said. “The Cambridge community has been very good to Jane and I for the past 38 years. We hope in return we have made a positive contribution to the community,” said Kevin.

MORTGAGE MATTERS

Refinancing Your Mortgage

By Gavin Lynch – Yes Mortgages

Refinancing your mortgage is the process of changing your mortgage lending from your existing lender to a new lender. Refinancing is a common practice for any of these reasons: • You don’t like the lender you are with. You’ve experienced poor service, problems with staff, or high account fees. • You want to borrow more money but the lender won’t allow it. Perhaps you want to consolidate debt, borrow to purchase a rental property or a vehicle, or put working capital into a business. • You have ‘outgrown’ your existing lender and want to move forward. This is common for self-employed people with a growing business, or for investors with an increasing portfolio. • Your lender has asked you to refinance. You may be in arrears with mortgage repayments or you need to restructure your mortgage.

The Gourmet Delicious team celebrate on stage after winning four awards.

Club tops regional netball awards Tom Voyle Park Sports Club has been awarded Club of the Year for the Waikato – Bay of Plenty region. Club president Wayne West said he was proud to see the behind-the-scenes dedication and passion of the club’s members recognised at the awards night on April 28 – the Netball Waikato Bay of Plenty Magic Awards. West was “extremely ecstatic” for the recognition of the club at regional level, and credited the members’ efforts as essential factors in the club’s success across netball, football and softball. Other Cambridge sportspeople to be recognised on the night included Ceri Hills from the Cambridge Netball Centre, who won Umpire/Official of the Year, and St Peter’s School student Kataraina Ormsby who won Most Improved Player of the Year. St Peter’s School also won School Programme of the Year. The awards night, held at SkyCity Hamilton, attracted a full house of 350 people from far and wide, celebrating outstanding successes, achievements and commitment to netball and community. Awards were also given to Magic netball players, with Casey Kopua winning Player of the Year.

HOORAY FOR SPRING

Refinancing can involve costs such as break fees from the existing lender, solicitors’ fees, valuation charges etc, but we can help get cash contributions from your new lender to help offset these costs. At Yes Mortgages, we can outline the costs involved and find the best new lender to fit your current situation from the 25 or so different lenders available. In most instances, our service is FREE to you. Generally the benefits of refinancing outweigh the costs involved but bear in mind: Refinancing your mortgage must benefit and add value to YOU. Let us do the work to find you the best lender for your situation. 55 Victoria Street, Cambridge (between BNZ & LJ Hooker)

Fireman Phil gets his first gold By Viv Posselt

Phil Johnston’s quarter century as a firefighter coincides with what looks like being one of the busiest yet for the Cambridge Volunteer Fire Brigade. Phil recently reached his landmark 25th year with the service and will be awarded his 25-year gold star at a ceremony later this year. His first 10 years as a firefighter in Plimmerton north of Wellington were broken by almost four years overseas, and he’s now completed 15 years in Cambridge.

“When I left Plimmerton we were doing about 120 to 140 callouts a year,” he said. “Cambridge was averaging about 240 to 250 a year then but we’re now up to around 320 to 340, and 2019 looks like being a record-breaker for the town. We responded to over 200 calls by the end of June … that’s more than one a day.” Phil, who does shift work at Fonterra, reckoned it was a touch of youthful zeal that inspired him to join the volunteer fire service in Plimmerton. “I guess it was a sense of

excitement to begin with, but that isn’t what keeps you doing it. One of the biggest things is the camaraderie, the enjoyment you get working as a team and giving something back to the community in which you live.” The character of the callouts in Plimmerton was slightly different to Cambridge, he said. There were more car crashes, weather-related incidents and urban callouts. The biggest fire he can remember attending in Cambridge was the Tamahere Coolstore fire in 2008, but because of the rural na-

ture of the area covered by the brigade, there are also occasions where they’re called upon to rescue animals trapped in strange places … one was a cow trapped down a well. Competition has always been a strong part of the fire service ethos, and Phil has completed five Auckland Sky Tower Challenges in his time. He is also a regular at the in-house games on Victoria Square, an annual event and BBQ that brings the local firefighters together in a spirit of light-hearted competition.

Phil has made his mark outside the fire service as well. He picked up underwater hockey in high school and went on to represent New Zealand in the sport over a four-year period. He still plays with a Hamilton-based club and is keen to start something up in Cambridge. “We’re looking at ways in which we can get something going here. I think it would be great to get the schools involved … perhaps look at moving them towards some kind of inter-regional competition.”

Phil Johnston has chalked up 25 years with the Cambridge Volunteer Fire Brigade.

important road safety issues this month. SADD National Leader and Year 13 student at Cambridge High School Charlotte Mitchell is leading SADD’s (Students Against Dangerous Driving) nationwide SAFER September campaign, and hopes the group’s activities will have a long-lasting impact. “I am really excited about the possibilities of this new campaign and hope to see a range of students encouraging the positive messages around SADD,” she said. Over the four weeks of

September, Cambridge High School’s SADD committee will be doing a SADD poster drop; have a competition to decorate a door with key tips for safe driving; create a giant snakes and ladders board that students can progress on when they correctly answer road code questions, and create a roundabout out of chalk for students to practise the giveaway rules on. This year alone (as of August 25) there have been 11 road deaths among 16 to 19-year-olds – which in fact is a drop of nearly 50% com-

pared to the same period in the past four years. AA Policy and Research National Manager Simon Douglas said this was heartening, but young people were still getting hurt in ways that could be prevented. “Like not wearing seatbelts, driving too fast for conditions, being drunk or drugged behind the wheel and using a phone featuring in so many deaths,” he said, noting that AA is right behind SADD and SAFER September. “These messages aren’t just for teens. We can all

do more to be safer on our roads in September, and from then on, to help reduce these devastating crashes.” SADD National Manager Donna Govorko said she was really impressed with the national SADD groups’ efforts to make a difference to New Zealand’s road toll statistics. “Having experienced the tragedy of road crashes firsthand as a police officer, it is heartening to experience the passion our SADD students have to help influence all New Zealanders to be safe on our roads,” Govorko said.

“I also applaud the students’ aspiration to help prepare their peers to be safe on our roads heading into summer and the end of the school year.” SADD was launched as a charitable trust over 30 years ago in New Zealand, and has a presence in 75% of secondary schools. Its student National Leadership Programme and student membership works closely with New Zealand Transport Agency, New Zealand Police, New Zealand Automobile Association and local authorities.

Two Cambridge powerlifters have returned from the New Zealand Powerlifting Championships with valuable experience under their belt. Having won their divisions at the regional round, Doug McWatters and Josh Manuel competed in the Open and Masters 1 divisions respectively, Manuel placing second overall and McWatters making the top 10. Coach Doug Mienie was happy with their progress, noting they started the sport just 18 months ago. “They’ve got a lot of potential. It was their first nationals, and the competition was hard.” He said the focus now was continuing to perfect their technique and power ahead of the next competition, the Waikato Classic, in November. McWatters, who was sick on the day of competition, was happy with the experience at nationals. “I was just looking to have a good comp. Enjoy, learn, and take as much experience from the seasoned lifters as I could. “That’s really your main compet-

itor,” added coach Mienie, resting his hand on the weight bar inside the Cambridge Fitness Centre where they train. “The bar and the weight, gravity, it doesn’t change.” Manuel was impressed by the calibre of lifters from the other regions. “There’s some big strong guys out there. The whole atmosphere was quite impressive.” Competing across the squat, bench press and deadlift, he lifted a total of 520kg – 5kg off the qualification standard for the Oceania competition, with a 165kg squat, 125kg bench press and 230kg deadlift. McWatters reached a 607.5kg total – 210kg squat, 132.5 bench press and 265kg deadlift. He qualified for Oceania event during the regional round but was unsure whether he would compete. The venue for the event has not been set, but it is likely to be overseas. “We’d need to sell a lot of sausage sizzles!” he said. “For now, I think I’m just going to focus on ending this year, working towards the Waikato Classic, and then reassess next year.”

A popular loved Cambridge playground is set to get a makeover. Waipa District Council has awarded a contract to Playground Creations for the upgrade of the Thompson Street Playground in Leamington. The project will also include creating a community orchard for residents to enjoy. Work is expected to start in early September and will be complete by the end of the year. Community services manager Sally Sheedy said community feedback had prompted the upgrade being included in the Long Term Plan. It was also necessary as parts of the playground had reached the end of their useful life.

“We have a great plan in place for this playground to make it more enjoyable for our community. We have thought about the comfort of parents and guardians bringing their kids to the playground, so we are including a shaded area and bench seating. “We’ll also be creating a community orchard which will be planted next year in the May/June planting season with fruit trees including plum and feijoa.” The new playground will include a double bay swing with timber frame and a basket, a toddler swing, a triple rail slide, timber play tower, timber net climber, stepping logs and timber stilt logs.

Thompson Street playground will be sporting a new look by the New Year.

Earlier this year, I was in Nepal, near the border with India. Etched on my mind are images that starkly contrast with life in Cambridge. Our town’s beauty and order often came to mind trekking rough dirt roads wending through impoverished villages. Here, mud shack homes under bundles of sticks and thatched roofs afford meagre shelter to people who are among the poorest of the poor - in world terms. Inadequate diet, lack of sanitation and medical assistance plus an absence of safe drinking water top the list of their needs. Yet friendly smiling faces survive this deprivation. Making comparisons isn’t valid…but it’s hard not to. I’m aware there’s hardship in our town but mostly, people manage. Statistically, we’re in the world’s top five per cent of wealth holders just by owning a car that’s driveable. Still, we’re prone to a sense of entitlement, even though the acquirement of more ‘stuff’ is no guarantee of happiness. Back in 2013 a 17 year old girl pocketed about $2 million in an overseas lottery. Now as a 23 year old, often in the media as the world’s youngest and most famous lottery winner, she describes how the win ruined her life. Living formerly in a council flat with her mum and working as an administration assistant for the equivalent of $14 per hour she now states, “I wish I had no money most days.” Bemoaning her empty, purposeless and boring life, she acknowledges, “I thought the win would make things 10 times better but it’s made it 10 times worse. My life would be so much easier if I hadn’t won.” After repeated plastic surgeries, she’s back in headlines for seeking to procure a boyfriend in return for $120,000. She remains single despite 100,000 ‘applications’. Sadly, her conclusions that money would deliver ‘ideal’ circumstances and happiness, have proven wrong. The recent film “Bohemian Rhapsody” depicts Freddie Mercury’s incredible superstar talent, fame, success and wealth as lead singer of British rock band “Queen”. Before his tragic death he said, “You can have everything in the world and still be the loneliest man in the world…and that’s the most bitter loneliness.” He continued, “Success has brought me world idolisation and millions of fans but it’s prevented me from having the one thing we all need... a loving, ongoing relationship”. Pursuing worldly trappings of success, can be like seeking to fill a ‘hole’ inside us - no matter how much food or drink we pour in, how many houses, cars and gadgets we stuff it with, however many ‘friends’ we might gather…that inner ‘void’ remains. Our basic longings and heart issues exist, because everyone carries ‘God space’- space only He can fill. Jesus warned, “What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?” His concern was our penchant for allowing material things, to rob us of eternal treasure. “I am the way,” He said, extending hope for all humanity - be it a poor Nepalese villager, a disillusioned young lottery winner, an empty superstar craving true love or…a Cambridge resident wondering if there’s ‘more’….

Sculpture park Student volunteers’ milestones returns with family focus By Sophie Iremonger

The Sculpture Park at Waitakaruru Arboretum in Tauwhare hasre-opened. The park will open every Sunday with bookings being taken for visits on other days. Special events are being planned, including a Creative Play Weekend over Labour Weekend (October 26-28); the venue is also available for other events, musical performances, Christmas parties and weddings. The Sculpture Park is a 17.5ha ‘art-in-nature’ trail that not only displays more than 100 sculptures and installations, but is also home to more than 20,000 trees and shrubs, many representing flora from different parts of the world. Owners John and Dorothy Wakeling developed it from a disused quarry, making the most of its natural features to develop what is now recognised as one of New Zealand’s largest outdoor galleries. The park holds an annual programme of exhibitions and open weekends in support of various charities. The last day of August saw the couple adding finishing touches to signage in time for the September 1 re-opening. “For quite a long time, we’ve

been open only by appointment,” said Dorothy. “Our plan this year is to make the park more accessible, as well as give it more of an ‘art in education’ focus. ” Family activities are aimed at providing engaging outdoor entertainment for children and youngsters of all ages. They include colour-in maps, exploration of sound, descriptive word activities, a colour scavenger hunt and nature scavenger hunt, and interactive blackboard activities. The idea is to direct young eyes to the many different elements to be found throughout the park. The park attracts thousands of visitors each year. Dorothy said many of them got behind the “Share the Park’ campaign launched in January 2018 with a view to winning support from the five local authorities in the region. “We were hoping they would help cover the cost of maintaining the park, so that it could be the equivalent of a free-to-enter regional park. As thousands of residents from Hamilton, Cambridge and Morrinsville have visited the park in the past, we had hoped the proposition would be regarded as an inexpensive way of providing access to a fully-developed regionally-valued park.

St Peter’s back-to-back lacrosse champs

For the second year running St Peter’s have won the Premier Division of the Girls Secondary Schools Lacrosse League after a tight final against Cambridge High School at the weekend. St Peter’s were strong favourites ahead of the game, and were unbeaten all season in

the grading games and round-robin matches. Opponents Cambridge High School had secured their spot in the finals after a good win against Hamilton Girls High School in the semifinals. With an all-Cambridge final, it was always going to be to an exciting match. After St Peter’s took an early lead in the

The Cambridge High School boys lacrosse team head into the final playoffs of the lacrosse season next weekend chasing third place overall against St John’s College. It follows on from their final round-robin game on Sunday against Hamilton Boys High, now placed second on the table after the Cambridge boys lost 8-6. “The last time we played against Hamilton Boys they managed to win by one goal, so we knew it wasn’t going to be easy,” said the Cambridge coach Anthony Warrington. After Hamilton Boys scored the first goal in the opening round, Cambridge quickly pulled ahead to bring the score up 3-1 with a few breakaway goals on transition. By half time the score was 4-all, but it could have easily been 6-4 or more to Cambridge, said Warrington. “We were peppering their goalie with shots, but we just couldn’t get the ball past him,” said Warrington. “Going into the second half we continued to get good opportunities on goal, unfortunately we just couldn’t get the ball in the back of the net.” Hamilton Boys on the other hand managed to sneak a few shots past the Cambridge goalie, and eventually took the win. “It was just not our day, but we still played really well and did our best. I cannot fault

the lads at all and I’m really pleased with how they played today. We scored some great team goals which I was so glad to see, because it’s what we have been working tirelessly at training to do. It was real progress.” Player of the day went to defender Sean Hapi. “Our final game is against St John’s College on September the 15th for third place in the league. “We haven’t won a game against them yet and I’m really looking forward to the opportunity for our lads to show that we can take the win against them.”

Lacrosse lads head into season final for third place

opening minutes of the game, Cambridge rallied to narrow the score to a single-goal difference after halftime, but St Peter’s responded to win by 12 goals to 8 and take the title. “It was an awesome game to watch,” said St Peter’s Premier team coach Natasha Singh. “Both sides played some incredible lacrosse. St Peter’s first six goals were exceptional and we were in a great position going in to half-time. Yet again, like our last game against Cambridge High School, we took our foot off the gas a little in the second half and let them come back at us, but I think our fitness and superior passing game, along with a few well-timed saves from our goalies gave us a convincing win in the end.” Both St Peter’s and Cambridge High School Premier teams now head to New Zealand Secondary School Lacrosse Nationals next weekend, September 14 – 15, along with four other Waikato school Premier teams. St Peter’s won the tournament last year and appear to be on target to defend their title again

this year. “The girls get better and better each week and I can’t wait to get to nationals to defend that championship title as well,” said Singh. Cambridge High School teams also finished well in the competitive A Division, with the Junior A team winning the silver medal after losing by a single goal in the closing seconds of the finals to St Paul’s Collegiate. Cambridge High School Premier Reserve team finished in fourth place after also losing by one goal during overtime to A Division newcomers Matamata College. Both matches were hardfought for such a close final result, but the future for Cambridge High Girls lacrosse looks undeniably bright with such depth of talent in the A Division. In the large B Division, Cambridge High School White finished in 4th position, Cambridge High School Navy in 8th place, and St Peters B in 12th place. The Girls High School League involved over 400 players and 29 teams from 11 schools from around the Waikato.

Ritchie puts positive spin on day of frustration

Cambridge trainer Shaune Ritchie is taking a positive attitude about his day at the office on Saturday despite suffering the frustration of having all four of his stable runners finish in the money without actually winning a race on the day. At Hastings promising threeyear-old filly Jennifer Eccles looked to have scored a superb victory against her age-group rivals over 1100m before having the race taken off her in the inquiry room after causing interference to race favourite Kali in the home straight. Hardy veteran Sultan Of Swing also finished runner-up in an open 1600m contest while lightly raced four-year-old All Paid Up battled gamely into third after leading for home in a rating 65 1400m contest. Ritchie watched the New Zealand action unfold on a television at Rosehill racecourse where he was on hand to see progressive stayer

The Good Fight open his Sydney campaign with a dogged effort for second on an unsuitable heavy track. “I guess it was one of those days where we could have walked away with two or three wins with a little more luck,” Ritchie said. “While it is a little disappointing, the flip side is that the team is going well at the right time of the season which is where you want to be.” Ritchie was philosophical about the relegation suffered by Jennifer Eccles after having a limited view of the race in real time. “I only saw the race the once on the television at the track so couldn’t really form too much of a judgment on the inquiry,” he said. “It did look to me that the inside horse had pushed Kali on to us but I guess the judiciary saw it differently. “I was rapt with her run as she was first-up and showed she will be

very competitive against those better fillies. Her main aim is the 1000 Guineas (Gr.1, 1600m) at Riccarton in November so the way she relaxed and got home plays well with that in mind. “She will most likely go to the Gold Trail Stakes (Gr.3, 1200m) back at Hastings in three weeks before we make further plans from there.” Ritchie was also delighted with the effort from The Good Fight who lived up to his name by making up good ground behind eventual winner Mrs Madrid after conceding 7.5kgs to the mare in the handicap.

“He (The Good Fight) was super as it looked like he might get beaten by a couple of lengths halfway down the straight but he really fought hard and was taking ground off the winner at the end,” he said. “He was giving away plenty of weight and never shirked his task so that augurs well going forward.” Ritchie was also buoyed by the comments from rider Hugh Bowman after the race. “Hughie came back in and the first thing I asked him was did he think the horse was good enough to win a nice race,” Ritchie said. “He immediately said

he thought he could win a big race so that was good to hear as he also said he didn’t really cop the wet track at all. “The run has now put me in two minds as to where he goes next as the original aim was a rating 78, 2400m race back here in a fortnight but I’m mindful the handicapper might make that too tough for him. “The other option is the Newcastle Cup (Gr.3, 2400m) where he would get in on the minimum (53kgs) so we will take a serious look at that option before we make up our minds.”

Catalyst all class at Hastings

Flashy three-year-old Catalyst contributed to a huge day for The Oaks Stud (Cambridge) owner Dick Karreman and his resident sire Darci Brahma, when he captured the Listed El Roca-Sir Colin Meads Trophy (1200m) at Hastings in emphatic fashion. The Oaks Stud bred and raced three-year-old gelding Double Impact had opened his account in style with a dashing debut performance to win over 1000m at Ruakaka less than thirty minutes before Catalyst destroyed his three-year-old opposition at his first attempt at stakes company. Exciting three-year-old filly Kali, who is part-owned by Karreman, had kicked things off for the Oaks Stud supremo when winning the second race at Hastings, albeit in the inquiry room, after being second past the post following a rocky run in the home straight. All three Cambridge horses look certain to feature in the upcoming three-year-old spring features with Catalyst advancing his claim to start favourite in the Gr.2 Sacred Falls Hawke’s Bay Guineas (1400m) on the last day of the Hastings carnival on October 5. A lightning beginning from an outside gate saw rider Troy Harris settle Catalyst in behind pacemaker The Fugitive within 100m of the start, where he travelled easily to the home turn. Harris sent his mount

to the front at the top of the straight and he easily put three lengths on his rivals, a margin he maintained to the winning post, winning with a fair bit in hand from Equinox and the late-closing Loire. Te Awamutu trainer Clayton Chipperfield admitted he had been confident of a winning run until he saw the barrier draw on Wednesday. “Up until the barrier came out, I was very confident,” Chipperfield said. “Once we got that draw, I thought typical as the last eight runners of ours have drawn outside. “He’s a class horse though and he (Harris) bounced him out and had him handy which was perfect.”

Catalyst is well clear at Hastings.

Enrolment at the school is governed by an enrolment scheme, details of which are available from the school office. Because the board operates an enrolment scheme, it is required to fill any vacant out of zone places by ballot in cases where there are more applications for enrolment than there are places available.

Next year there will be two enrolment periods. The first enrolment period runs from 14th October 2019 to the last day of Term 1, 9th April 2020. Due to the ongoing success of our school and the construction of new learning spaces, the board has determined that 10 places in Year 0 – 6 are likely to be available to out of zone students in the first enrolment period. The exact number of places will depend on the numbers of applications received from students who live within the school’s home zone.

For students seeking enrolment within the first enrolment period, the deadline for receipt of applications for out of zone places is 27th September 2019. Application packs are available on our school website www.kaipaki.school.nz If the number of out of zone applications exceeds the number of places available, students will be selected by ballot. If a ballot for out of zone places is required, it will be held on 2nd October 2019. Parents will be informed of the outcome of the ballot within three school days of the ballot being held.

Details relating to the second enrolment period are as follows. Length of enrolment period: from 28th April to 25th September 2020 Deadline for receipt of applications: 27th March 2020 Date of ballot: 1st April 2020 Parents of students who live within the home zone and intend enrolling their child at any time during the next year should notify the school by 27th September 2019 to assist the school to plan appropriately for next year.

Flavours

FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 6, 2019

with Jan Bilton

Celebrate Cambridge For nine days from September 14, restaurants, cafés, farmers, growers, producers and local food retailers will be showcasing the flourishing Cambridge food scene. The 25-plus events — from special restaurant and café menus to farm tours, barista knowhow, wine and food matches and beer education — are designed to educate people about local produce and where it comes from. This inaugural event has been organised by Destination Cambridge and details are updated daily on their website: cambridge.co.nz/culinary A small selection of the lineup includes a wine tasting at Onyx with Boyd’s asparagus and more; a food and wine degustation dinner at Alpha Street Kitchen & Bar showcasing local Quack A’ Duck; a long lunch at Alpino incorporating home-made pasta; Meet the Makers at the farmers’ market and a Taste of the Waikato at the Red Barn. This fun event complements Rotary Cambridge’s popular Taste Waikato, a cookbook which showcases easy tempting recipes and stories of the people who produce the region’s best food. Taste Waikato is available from Paper Plus, the Cambridge Isite and online at: rotarycambridge.nz/page/taste-waikato/. All proceeds go to good causes in the Cambridge community.

FIVE-SPICE DUCK & HONEY GLAZED CARROTS This recipe is based on one from the executive chef at Alpha Street Kitchen & Bar, Harry Williams. It’s a ‘cook friendly’ creation. Duck: 4 Quack A’ Duck duck breasts 2 teaspoons each: flaky salt, Chinese five-spice, finely grated orange rind Carrots: 500gm baby carrots 3 tablespoons honey pinch flaky salt 2 teaspoons coriander seed (lightly crushed) 50g butter With a sharp knife, score the skin of the duck breasts. Combine the salt, five spice and orange rind. Rub into the breasts and marinate

overnight in the refrigerator. Preheat the oven to 220°C. Pat the breasts dry with a paper towel. Place skin-side down in a cold frying pan on medium heat. Cook until the fat has almost disappeared from under the skin (rendered) and the skin is crisp. Place in the oven for 6-10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the meat. The breasts should be pink inside. Cover with foil and rest for 4-5 minutes before slicing. Meanwhile, peel and trim the carrots. Blanch quickly then refresh in cold water. Pat dry. Place the carrots and other ingredients in a frying pan on medium heat. Cook, turning often, until the carrots are well coated in the mixture. Serves 4. Asparagus with goat’s cheese dressing

A popular dish at Alpino is their Goat Ragu. This is my version. The chefs make their own pasta — I used pappardelle from the supermarket. If goat is unavailable use blade beef steak or lamb shoulder. 1 large onion, diced 3-4 tablespoons olive oil 6 cloves garlic, diced 1kg boned goat meat, cut into 3cm cubes 2 teaspoons paprika 4 tablespoons plain flour salt and black pepper to taste 2 x 400g cans crushed tomatoes 1 large red capsicum, roasted, peeled and sliced 100g pitted black olives 1 teaspoon saffron threads 350g pappardelle

Preheat the oven to 150°C. Sauté the onion in 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a frying pan, until softened. Add the garlic and cook until the onion is golden. Place in a casserole. Coat the goat meat in the combined paprika, flour and seasonings. Sauté in batches in the remaining oil, until browned. Add to the casserole with the tomatoes, olives, saffron and capsicum. Cover and cook for 2 1/2 hours. Uncover and cook for a further 30-45 minutes, until very tender. Meanwhile, cook the pappardelle according to the packet instructions. Serve the meat on the drained pasta. Great topped with shaved pecorino cheese. Serves 6.

WAIKATO’S BEST EV EXPERIENCE EV OF THE WEEK

EV MYTH BUSTING MYTH:

Can’t go in Carwash

TOTALLY BUSTED

2013 NISSAN LEAF $17,995 Terrific car for regular trips around Cambridge, Te Awamutu & Hamilton

EVs are able to get wet; whether in the carwash, a storm, snow or even a deep puddle. Rigorous testing ensures EVs can handle normal conditions. Plus the EV batteries and motor are fully sealed. With no air intake or exhaust to suck in water, the EV is almost better equipped to handle a bit of water. But no car likes water and each model will have a max water depth recommendations.

EVERY CAR FROM US INCLUDES:  English language stereo  English language dash  NZ compliant charger cable

 Free WOF for life  Roadside assist 24/7  Concierge service 24/7

WHY ELECTRIC?  EVs are significantly cheaper to run than petrol/diesel cars.  EVs have great torque can accelerate quickly and smoothly from a standing start with no gears to work through.  EVs are quiet so the car stereo sounds great and conversations with passengers are much easier.  EVs handle well as the weight of the battery pack gives EVs a lower centre of gravity.  You can charge your EV anywhere there’s a power point and wake to a ‘full tank’ every morning.

IT Chapter Two ‘It Chapter Two’ is a supernatural horror film following the 2017 film ‘It’, both based on the 1986 novel ‘It’ by Stephen King. Set in 2016, in the sleepy town of Derry, the evil and terrifying clown Pennywise returns 27 years later to torment the grown-up members of the Losers' Club, who have long since drifted apart from one another until a devastating phone call brings them back. The second film, based like the first on King's 1,100page 1986 best seller, isn't so much a sequel as a continuation of the plot, taking place 27 years after the first film. For ‘It Chapter 2’, members of the Losers Club from the first film have been recast with adult actors, though the young actors will also appear in flashback. The filmmakers and actors behind ‘It’ hope audiences can recognize something hopeful in the story: there’s courage to be found in the Losers’ Club and membership is open.

Danger Close: The Battle of Long Tan South Vietnam, late afternoon on August 18, 1966 for three and a half hours, in the pouring rain, amid the mud and shattered trees of a rubber plantation called Long Tan, Major Harry Smith and his dispersed company of 108 young and mostly inexperienced Australian and New Zealand soldiers are fighting for their lives, holding off an overwhelming enemy force of 2,500 battle hardened Main Force Viet Cong and North Vietnamese Army soldiers. With their ammunition running out, their casualties mounting and the enemy massing for a final assault each man begins to search for his own answer and the strength to triumph over an uncertain future with honour, decency and courage. The Battle of Long Tan is one of the most savage and decisive engagements in ANZAC history, earning both the United States and South Vietnamese Presidential Unit citations for gallantry. But not before 18 Australians and more than 245 Vietnamese are killed.

FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 6, 2019

Reds end season with a thriller Action from Saturday’s main game which saw visitors Metro clinch promotion.

Cambridge have finished their 2019 Northern League football season in a respectable fifth place after a frantic finish to their last game. The Reds almost caused an upset when leading Metro FC for much of their match at John Kerkhof Park with the Aucklanders desperately needing the win to seal promotion to next year’s Lotto NRFL first division. Metro snatched two late goals to win the game – and promotion – in the dying minutes of a tense and entertaining game. Cambridge came out of the dressing rooms with obvious confidence, knowing the result would make little difference to their final standing in the competition. Their first attack earned a corner and from the resulting set-piece, leading goalscorer Josh Clarkin neatly headed the Reds into the lead after only three minutes. That put an edge into the game with Metro gradually working their way into contention. Cambridge survived a couple of strong Metro attacks late in the first half. At the break, Sarah Jones – one of New Zealand’s top referees - was replaced by her assistant after she was struggling to recover

from a ball struck into her face, leaving her with suspected concussion. In the second half, both teams increased their intensity and no one was holding back on their tackles. Five players were given yellow cards in the second spell as the tension built. Word filtered through from Auckland that Manurewa were leading Oratia United – and if scores stayed the same there and at Cambridge, Manurewa would earn promotion, not Metro. Eventually, with seven minutes remaining, Bradley Rathbun snared the leveller for Metro. At the same time, updates from Auckland had Oratia and Manurewa locked 4-4. As the final whistle approached, Walid Omar Hassani sent the visiting Metro fans into raptures when he found the net in a goalmouth scramble. The Aucklanders spent the remainder of the game, including five tense minutes of added time, defending as the Reds pushed forward, trying to find one last goal for the season. In the early game, Cambridge’s reserves ended their season with a narrow loss when

they conceded in the 88th minute to provide visitors Metro FC with a 2-1 victory. The loss was a bitter pill for the Reds as their form since mid-June has been muchimproved and their last six games decided by single goal margins. Cambridge took the lead through Devon Andrews in the 25th minute. However Metro’s Sam Adeyinka found an equaliser just four minutes later. Both teams generated chances in the second half but Metro’s captain Kieran Sulikosky scored the winner with time almost up. The result means Cambridge finishes 10th in this season’s reserves competition. In the WaiBOP Championship, Cambridge’s third team lost their match at Papamoa 6-1 after trailing 3-1 at the break. Cambridge’s goal came off a Papamoa defender in the 20th minute. The side plays their last game of the season tomorrow when they host Tauranga City at John Kerkhof Park (12.30pm). In Waikato Division 3, Cambridge lost 4-2 to Melville United Old Boys at John Kerkhof Park. Cambridge took a 2-0 lead in the first half, thanks to a penalty scored by goalkeeper Paul

Macann. The other came from leading scorer Miguel Peterle. Macann also saved a penalty but his efforts were in vain when Melville poured on the pressure in the second half to take the win. In Waikato Division 4, Cambridge beat Claudelands Rovers Newbies 1-0, thanks to a goal from Cole van den Beuken. It turned out to be the only win for a Cambridge senior men’s team at the weekend. While Cambridge’s winter season is all but finished, the club faces a busy spring and summer as the host for regional and national events. On Sunday September 15, Cambridge hosts the first of six National Women’s League fixtures featuring WaiBOP (who represent the Waikato/Bay of Plenty) against other leading provincial sides. Auckland will be the first opponent, following by Southern a week later. On Saturday September 21, John Kerkhof Park will host the finals of the Waikato Secondary Schools competition. Cambridge’s annual 5-a-side competition begins on November 13, running every Wednesday till February except for a holiday break.
