The voting forms are in the post… now it’s up to voters to

Have your say Councils are big business – and communities determine how they are run. Cambridge News today backs a call to voters to use their vote. How to do it: 1 Follow the instructions on your voting document. 2 Put your voting document in the orange return envelope 3 Seal the orange envelope and post or deliver. Thousands of voting forms are being mailed out throughout the country from today. Local body elections traditionally attract an at-best modest level of interest from the electorate – but Waipa District Council chief executive Gary Dyet says it just doesn’t make sense not to be involved in the running of one the the region’s biggests businesses. “If you love living in Waipā, a lot of that has to do with what council is doing, and that’s why it’s important you vote in October,” he says. He says now is the time to start thinking about the key issues and which candidate for Council can best represent the needs of Waipā. “The local government elections are a one-in-threeyear opportunity to have your say and I cannot stress enough how important it is that you vote,” Dyet says. “Council makes decisions that impact your daily life more that you realise. Unlike national elections, local government focuses on the services we all use multiple times a day. Water supply, recycling, waste, roads, footpaths, cycleways, pools, parks, libraries, playgrounds, reserves, museums, and other amenities and services - they are the things that make our towns vibrant and position Waipa as one of the best places in New Zealand to live.” He said we are lucky to live in a democracy where we have the freedom to choose the people who make the decisions about their local areas.

Gary Dyet is urging voters to complete their forms and get them in the post.

Swayed by social media? Our country is gripped in a Measles epidemic largely caused by the actions of anti vaxxers who will not accept sound science. It seems to me that the same people are likely to be anti fluoride as well, contrary to the advice of both their doctor and dentist. At the age of 74 I can clearly state that neither my wife or I have had a new filling for over 45 years, neither of my daughters or their four children have ever had a filling. We have all lived most of our lives in places where the water is fluoridated. Also I can’t ever recall meeting a doctor or dentist who didn’t promote fluoride. I am therefore appalled to read the responses of the potential councillors you sought views from in (Cambridge News, September 13). One described adding fluoride as medication. I wonder if he knew that since 1924 iodine has been added to NZ salt as it was recognised that NZ soils lacked iodine and the population faced severe thyroid problems. Today it is also mandatory in most breads. The purpose of councillors is to make decisions after evaluating the facts. I want my councillor to make decisions on my behalf, not bow to popular opinion from a social media barrage based on junk science. Murray Reid Cambridge Gender issue On reading the Cambridge News dated September 13 over the weekend I was interested to read the results of the week-long college sports events. The college did very well but what interested me most was the write up and photos of the boys’ teams. For instance, the boys’ first Xl hockey team photo was shown and they got silver. Then 14 words about how the 1st XI girls won gold and the Rosemary Cup in Levin. What an achievement for those girls. Cambridge should be proud of them. It was sad to see if you look at the two pages there is only one female photo. Bev Parlane Cambridge Editor’s note: The Cambridge News was provided with a picture to go with the report and we were delighted to run it.

Garden Festival tickets ‘special’ ending The cut-off date for discounted tickets to the 2019 Rotary Cambridge Garden Festival on November 24 is looming. September 30 is the last day on which punters can purchase their Early Bird specials. The discounted rate translates to a good saving, said Festival project leader and Rotarian Carey Church. Early Bird tickets are $30 per person. After then, the price remains at $30 for seniors, but rises to $40 for adults under the age of 65. Tickets for teenagers between 16 and 18 are $10 each and are available only online. Carey said a total of 1350 tickets went on sale on August 16. “Sales have been going well,” she said. “In the first three and a half weeks, we sold 300 tickets, which is pretty much on a par with last year.” The festival launched last year as Rotary Cambridge’s primary fundraiser. Last November’s

event raised more than $30,000 for three charities and attracted more than 1000 visitors to 10 gardens. This year’s festival will feature 11 gardens, two of them favourites from last year and seven new gardens. Two ‘Art in the Garden’ sites will showcase the work of popular local artists Carole Hughes and Dot and Barry Harding. Also new this year is an online newsletter and blog which went up on the event website from August 23 and will run until the festival in November. Each one profiles one of the gardens being featured in the festival, and one of the sponsors supporting the event. More information and tickets - as well as maps providing information on each of the featured gardens - are available from Amber Garden Centre, Cambridge Jewellers, and online at www. cgf.nz.

BOOK GIVEAWAY First Map: How James Cook Chartered Aotearoa New Zealand by TESSA DUDERS By Savannah Patterson

Tessa Duder’s new book, First Map: How James Cook Chartered Aotearoa New Zealand, will be available to purchase during a book signing and meet-and-greet with the author herself on Tuesday, September 24 at Paper Plus Te Awamutu, 12:30pm – 1:30pm. Duder said she had long been fascinated by James Cook’s iconic NZ chart and the challenges he overcame to create it. She described the book as the human story behind Cook’s famous journey, following the progress of his six-month circumnavigation of New Zealand over the summer of 1769-1770. “The focus was to be on how the famous chart was created during those six months, and at what

cost to him, his crew and ship,” she said. “It’s a story of courage, dogged perseverance and Cook’s extraordinary skills as both cartographer and seafarer.” The Harper Collins published book will be available to purchase for $49.99. We have two free copies of the book to give away – just send your full name and contact number, along with the subject line “First Map” to savannah@goodlocal. nz no later than 12pm, Monday September 23.

Anne calls time on citizens advice By Viv Posselt

Anne Galbraith plans to research her family geology.

After 30 years’ volunteering with the Cambridge Citizens Advice Bureau, Anne Galbraith is casting her eye on other pursuits and is planning to hand in her keys. She’s keen to research her family genealogy, so will leave the Bureau as soon as she can bow out gracefully without leaving anyone in the lurch. News of her plans has come as a bit of a surprise to the team; it wasn’t long ago that they presented her with a certificate marking her 30 years’ service and there was little talk of her departure then. Conceding she will miss it, she said: “I have been given more than I have ever given back in this role … just in terms of life experience. I’ve done my eight years on the committee. That’s enough. I’m not going to carry on.” The Cambridge Citizens Advice Bureau opened for business in June 1983. It was just a few years after that when Anne joined their ranks, fresh from a job that had given her a real taste for dealing with the public.

“I did my basic training in 1989 then worked in the Bureau, doing mainly telephone enquiries. It was down at the old courthouse then,” she said. “We were taught to smile when answering the phone, apparently the voice becomes friendlier.” At that stage, information resources were limited to a card index, a telephone book and books of lists. The shift to a nationwide computerised network of information probably ranks as the biggest transformation seen during Anne’s 30 years; the early 1993 move to the Bureau’s current premises in Alpha Street was another one. Despite the fact the Bureau housed the information centre in Alpha Street for a while before it moved to the Cambridge Town Hall, the new premises offered the team a lot more space and things have become steadily busier as the town has grown. Training has always been important for Bureau newcomers. Anne did a ‘training for trainers’ course and then facilitated training for up to 13 people per course. Ongoing training to maintain Bureau standards is required of all

volunteers, and Anne was involved in that as well. “I enjoyed collating those sessions,” she said. “We all developed our abilities further. After eight years on the committee, I retired and just became a quiet worker on the roster.” Overall, it’s been the companionship of the team and the satisfaction of the role that has kept her at it for 30 years. “It was pleasing to see a client leaving the office looking happier than when they came in. It made all the training in listening, in body language and people skills worthwhile. The companionship and support of fellow workers is amazing. Their talents never fail to amaze me; at times I have felt humbled working with them. I particularly enjoyed working on the after-hours roster which the Bureau provided for a while.” Through the variety of experiences, the technology transformation and the ongoing self-evaluation she has always done, Anne said the time was now right to step away. “It’s time I opened a few more doors and closed this one.”

Vietnam: remembering that war By Viv Posselt

Te Awamutu’ David Bowler will revisit some of his darker memories as a Vietnam veteran when he talks to the public before next week’s screening of Danger Close: The Battle of Long Tan. The former New Zealand army man who owns and runs Te Awamutu Copy Centre, did a tour of duty in Vietnam in 1971, several years after the 1966 battle on which the movie is centred. He was invited by Regent Theatre owner Allan Webb to give a talk and answer questions from the public before both evening screenings next Wednesday. The film has been on the New Zealand circuit since September 5. Webb described his own response to it as “disturbing” and said after talking to Bowler about its contents, decided to ask him to speak to audiences in the context of his own experiences. “I was disturbed watching it. I was disturbed when I read the information at the end; I was disturbed afterwards and still am. David told me things that weren’t in the film, and I found it very interesting,” he said. “It took the Australian government 40 years to recognise what happened … the kids were so young.” The battle of Long Tan is described as ‘one of the most savage and decisive engagements in Australasian military history’. It was said to be Australia’s most famous and

fiercely-fought battles during the Vietnam War, with 108 inexperienced Australian and New Zealand soldiers holding off an estimated 2500 battle-hardened Viet Cong and North Vietnamese soldiers. The battle raged during the late afternoon of August 18, 1966. It took place in a rubber plantation in South Vietnam’s Phuoc Tuy province, where 105 Australians from D Company of 6 RAR, supported by three New Zealanders from 161 Battery, were patrolling. Just three and a half hours later, 18 Australians and at least 250 of the enemy lay dead – some estimates put the number of enemy killed at double that. David Bowler did 20 years with the New Zealand Army and is a member of the Te Awamutu RSA. He said some of his military friends had seen the film and had voiced their thoughts on social media. “They picked little holes in it here and there, but the general impression was that it is a realistic account of what had happened,” he said. Bowler joined the army in 1967, the year after Long Tan. He was posted to 161 Battery in Vietnam at the beginning of 1971, a 2nd lieutenant who was gun position officer for the command post. “We had one major contact when I was there … it’s not something I talk about much. But I do remember that whenever we passed a village, fires were lit in the rice paddies to alert the troops in the hills.”

He will try and ‘set the scene’ for the movie when he speaks to the audience next week. “In reality, the battle was relatively short, only about twice as long as the film. But this

is a story that has to be told.” Bowler will be at the Regent Theatre, Te Awamutu, on Wednesday to talk to audiences attending screenings of Danger Close: The Battle of Long Tan at 5.10pm and 7.50pm.

Former army man David Bowler, who ran a deer farm outside Cambridge before moving to Te Awamutu, will talk about Vietnam before Wednesday evening’s screenings of Danger Close: The Battle of Long Tan. He is holding up a map of the area of the battle, close to where he was deployed five years later.

A golden week for Thomas By Savannah Patterson

Thomas Szabo beat more than the odds to celebrate a double-gold medal haul at the AIMS games Tauranga. The 12-year-old Cambridge Middle School student with a love for sport competed in para swimming events at the Anchor AIMS Games, which attracted 11,500 athletes who competed over six days in 23 sports. Thomas raced at the Baywave Aquatic Centre in freestyle, backstroke and breaststroke over successive days. “It’s great that a tournament like this includes para sports, it’s a chance for kids like Thomas to do something they love and compete against their peers,” his mum Clare told the Cambridge News. Thomas has cerebral palsy as a consequence of a stroke which left lasting damage. Clare Szabo said his disability affects the right side of his body - “his arm is his biggest weakness and he will often find a way to do things one handed.” His muscles are tight and also weak and as a consequence he must complete sets of stretches each day and has Botox

Thomas Szabo came home with a pair of medals.

every nine months to relax his muscles. At the end of last year, he had surgery in his right hand and wrist to release tendons.

Divided Tamahere calls for change Tamahere residents are still looking for answers after turning out in force last weekend to voice concerns about road safety. They are angry that the Waikato Expressway development and growing use of SH1 – Airport Road – has effectively created north-south and east-west divides through the heart of their community. National MP Tim van de Molen is running a petition calling for safe and efficient pedestrian and cycling pathways for Tamahere residents, whose numbers have swollen to 6000, and will continue to increase. Labour MP Jamie Strange told last weekend’s public meeting in Tamahere

he would raise connectivity issues with Transport ministers Residents are calling for “an acceptable safe crossing solution” for both Airport Road and State Highway One on and offramps.” They say Tamahere Model Country School students who live close enough to walk or bike to school can’t do safely. Tamahere Community board chair Dallas Fisher has been campaigning for some type of crossing for the past decade. The online Tamahere Forum reported his committee believed that NZTA had been “stringing it along for at least a decade with promises of pedestrian and cycle ways”, a process that started when a committee meeting was shown a digital

image of a footbridge across SH1 10 years ago. Tamahere hosts a significant market once a month at St Stephen’s Church – on the other side of SH23 from the school, it is the site of major commercial development in the form retirement villages and a shopping centre – and work continues on SH1. The Tamahere Forum reported the meeting unanimously support the Tamahere Community Committee to push for safe pedestrian crossings of SH1 and SH21, safe access to Tamahere Park and the shopping precinct, to fix the safety issues for pedestrians around Newell Rd and to seek a lower speed limit on SH21/ Airport Rd.

“He is so sporty and determined though, he plays soccer, swims and cycles at the velodrome,” Clare Szabo said. She says he has been swimming for about three years now and trains every Monday. Thomas attended the event with his family while school staff watched a livestream of the events. “It was an amazing experience and opportunity for him and us. When Thomas won his two gold medals, he was very emotional. Thomas hopes to become a Paralympic swimmer. “He absolutely loved it once he got out there, he did amazing and we’re so proud.” Clare Szabo says she hopes sharing his story will create more awareness of para sporting opportunities available in New Zealand. “The AIMS Games have included the para swimming section for three years now and so many people aren’t aware of it. “The crowd was awesome, and the staff were so supportive, everyone loved the atmosphere. It was a fantastic tournament.” Sophie Pascoe has been a trail blazer for Paralympic swimming in New Zealand and the multiple world champion was in the headlines again this week when she collected four golds at the World Para Champs in London. Thomas says he hopes to do well like Paralympic swimmers Pascoe and Cameron Leslie one day. “I can’t wait to go to the AIMS Games again next year and keep training hard. “I was really happy to win the gold medals; everyone is really proud of me.”

Dairy robbery

Police say five people took part in a robbery at the Sheridan Dairy on Shakespeare St on Tuesday morning.

Is it time to put a line over Waipā

The debate over macrons has challenged corporate and public business. The South Waikato District Council was a trail blazer in 2006 when it announced it would add macrons where appropriate to street signs. It moved after the Raukawa Maori Trust Board submitted a list of 23 street names spelt incorrectly. At the same time most New Zealand newspapers ignored both the macron and the double vowel which Tainui began using widely and can been seen frequently today in street names. But times are changing and macrons and double vowels are becoming increasingly common. The Ōtorohanga District Council took the plunge just last month, drawing applause from members of Ngāti Maniapoto who were present to see a unanimous decision in favour of adding the macron to the district name. We asked candidates in the current local body election campaign for their views on macrons and whether or not Waipa should follow suit.

Here’s what they said… Marcus Gower I have always brought up the use of macrons in Council documents and sites. It’s really great to see that we now have a consistent approach to their correct use. I fully support using

the macron in Waipa for Council’s name, if our Iwi Consultative Committee thinks it’s a good idea.

already feature the correct spelling of Waipā, so we are off to a great start. Let’s be consistent.

Steve Grounds Yes, I feel it should as this reflects the correct spelling and is respectful of the culture to do so. However, I would support a planned, gradual transition in light of the financial costs associated of making this change across council signs, in council publications (etc.)

Bernie Fynn I don’t really see the point, everyone will continue to pronounce the word how they feel. What bothers me, as someone raised in Cambridge from 1950, is using an extra “O” in Lake Te Koutu.I do not like change for change sake, especially if the changers are new to town.

Dennis Pennefather My answer is no. My reasoning being, as one who has spoken te reo for a number of years, although I am far from fluent...I do so out of respect for the language and the fact that several marae on the East Coast are my marae because I have family ‘bones’ on both my Maori and Pakeha sides buried in the attached urupa. Even the simple adding of a macron will involve a re-branding and costs to the ratepayer purse which are not justified Michael Emery Waipā District Council should absolutely add a macron to its official title. I do not consider that a change of name, but rather the long-overdue correction of an inherited spelling mistake. Some council publications

Andrew Brown Yes Lou Brown I do not agree with the use of macrons. The cost of replacing letterheads and signs is not justified and people will still continue to pronounce Waipa as they always have, correctly or not! Kane Titchener I would support this move although I would like to see wide consultation. Elise Badger I believe the move to accurately using Te Reo Māori in all council communication is essential. It is worth considering whether the tohutō or macron is accurate for our region; my very limited (but actively growing) understanding of Te Reo Māori is that Waikato/Tainui Te Reo doesn’t

use the tohutō so expert engagement on the topic is crucial. The cost of implementing a change of name is of course a consideration, but I believe a change will be a positive one for Waipā. Alana MacKay Yes, as long as it is done in consultation with local Māori to ensure accuracy, I would support the use of tohutō in the name of Waipā District Council. I believe that respect for Māori language is important, and small changes like this can help us get better at pronouncing and spelling te reo correctly. In terms of the costs associated with implementing this, the council’s online presence would be the obvious place to start, and I would suggest a gradual change of signage and printed media as these things are updated rather than scrapping existing collateral. Bernard Westerbaan There are more urgent questions to be asked, like available resources vs growth. Do a survey in the local papers to find out what residents think. What would the cost be to businesses to change their business name to add a macron? Has a costing been done? Will it become compulsory? Cost for ratepayers? Answers are needed. Don Sanders Although I have no strong feelings one way or the other, the council has much bigger issues at present. Updating every instance of our official name would cost tens or possibly hundreds of thousands of dollars

and would serve as nothing more than an empty gesture. The Council needs to provide its core business of roads, water, rubbish etc. Once all these things adequate, we can look to updating signs etc. Cambridge and its people have real needs at the moment, and money must be spent wisely. All council money is your money. Jo Davies-Colley Yes! Waipa is a Maori place name and therefore should be written in a way that reflects its Maori origin and shows people how to pronounce it correctly. Dennis Finn I support the use of macrons if to do so is linguistically correct and aids correct pronunciation. Personally, I don’t see this as a governance matter. I see this as a management issue in that it is important that our name or any other word is pronounced correctly. Poto Davies My personal preference would be Waipaa. Macrons are used to indicate that the kupu (word) has a longer vowel sound. It does assist people who are learning te reo. The alternative is to use a double vowel i.e. whaanau or whānau. Most iwi or hapū have a preference about what to use. James Parlane Yes, after a referendum that supports it, otherwise no. Liz Stolwyk If the use of a macron is considered by local iwi appropriate and the community at large would

 Elections like to include this in the future then yes, we should be using the macron in the future. Waipa is our home and is steeped with a deep and very rich history, one of the reasons why our community is progressing the Te Ara Wai Discovery centre in our district. The ‘path of memories’ to be awake to our past and to have our eyes open to the future is the theme of the centre – very appropriate then we start to learn of our stories of yesteryear and acknowledge them. Greg Keyte No. If the Waipaa district is going to go through with the expense of hanging the name it should be spelt correctly. The Waipaa rohe is in within the Tainui rohe and Tainui use the double vowel. The macron is a relatively new addition to the Maaori language added by the English so they could better understand the Maaori language. Where a place name is within the Tainui area it should be used as it was given by the Tainui people. The Waipaa District Council should be a leader in the education of the people in their district including the correct spelling and pronunciation of the language. Viki-lee Springer The macrons are used to help people pronounce Maori words correctly so yes. When you speak about Waipa changing and using the macron... I believe if they would like it pronounced correctly then yes, they should. Roger Gordon I don’t see this as an important issue, but if there are those that consider the use of the macron is more correct, I’m not against it being introduced.

Have your say Continued from page 1

“We need competent business and community-minded elected members who have the unique ability to balance fulfilling the key issues affecting communities with the complexities of local government.” With voting papers due to hit mailboxes over the next five says, Council is expecting candidates will start to be more active in the community and will make themselves known. Many have been getting around neighbourhoods to chat with residents about their policy positions, and have been posting on their social media accounts. Their views on issues have been featured prominently in successive editions of the Cambridge News since nominations were announced – and today their comments on another issue appear on pages 5 and 6. Grey Power held a Waipā candidate debates in Te Awamutu last night and will stage another in Cambridge at 1pm on Sunday at the St Andrews Anglican Church Hall. “Start having conversations to your family members, colleagues and neighbours about the upcoming local body elections and do your due diligence by looking into the backgrounds and policies of each candidate. It’s important to make sure you vote, and it counts,” Dyet said.

Council has an operating cost of $86.7 million, capital expenditure of $127.7 million and employs 300 staff, making it one of the largest and most complex businesses in the Waipā district. Part of the risk management framework is managing over $1.7 billion in assets while striving to keep rates as low as possible. Infrastructure is the Council’s highest expenditure with district-wide renewals programmes for the road and three-waters networks. “It’s not the most attractive item on Council’s agenda, but infrastructure certainly is the most important. It’s vital to running a healthy, sustainable and economically-viable district and we meet these increasing costs through rates and development contributions to ensure growth pays for growth.” Dyet adds. These higher associated infrastructure costs are a key consideration for future Council decisions, in order to meet more stringent environmental and health and safety standards. Councillors will also input on community facilities such as Te Ara Wai, part of the wider Te Awamutu Hub, and one of the key upcoming stakeholder-led projects for Council. Both Otorohanga and Waipa District Councils have profile of candidates on their websites.

“Our section cost us a lot! We can’t afford to get the house-build wrong.”

WE GET IT. When choosing a company to design and build your home, the risk is real. Will the building company listen to you carefully? Will their design match your hopes? Will they give you the time and space to make decisions? And will the quality be there when your home is finished?” When it comes to house builds, there are two things RPS Homes does very well, things that remove those risks. 1. We really listen Sounds like an obvious thing, but there’s a big difference between someone merely hearing you and them being genuinely attentive. Here are two ways to spot the difference: • Who’s doing most of the talking? If it’s the sales person, that’s an alarm bell right there. A 70/30 conversation split should characterise the initial conversations (you’re the 70%). • How many insightful questions are being asked? This one is crucial because the whole point of good questions is to make ambiguous things clear, to bring out the unspoken things, and even to help you understand your own mind on design issues.

2. you can sit down with our in-house designers EVOKE is the architectural company that works in-house at RPS Homes. RPS clients often sit down with EVOKE designers to help shape things onscreen. This prompted one of them to say: “It feels like we’re actually doing some of the designing.” It’s a truly helpful process. Imagine making real-time decisions about things like the scullery/kitchen configuration. About the size of specific rooms. Or the positioning of windows.

End-of-life bill lurches over another hurdle By Viv Posselt

David Seymour’s End of Life Choice Bill moved closer to finality last week when proposed amendments on accountability around assisted dying were debated in Parliament. The changes he suggested were voted though 68 to 52 in another Committee of the Whole House debate on September 11. It was the third of five such debates intended to vote on changes to the original bill; this one focused on a section intended to set up organisations to oversee and monitor assisted dying. The Cambridge-based executive officer of Euthanasia-Free NZ, Renée Joubert, said last week’s debate covered the responsibilities of the Registrar, the SCENZ Group (Support and Consultation for End of Life in NZ), and the Review Committee. “The Registrar’s main responsibility would be to receive forms from health practitioners involved in a euthanasia process. The SCENZ Group’s main responsibility would be to maintain lists of health practitioners willing to be involved and select a second medical practitioner to check whether a person is eligible,” she said. “The Review Committee’s main responsibility would be to consider whether the reports completed after the deaths show satisfactory compliance with the law. However, the committee would only be able to assess whether the forms were filled out properly; they would not be able to verify the accuracy of the information on those reports.” She said it was ‘disappointing that Parliament had failed to address the accountability issues in the bill’. Of the 36 proposed amendments put up for the September 11 debate – 35 of them from opponents seeking to tighten the rules around oversight bodies – only David Seymour’s won enough support to get the changes through. “His was the only successful amendment. It made only one substantial change – namely that one of the three members of the Review Committee could be a nurse, instead of a doctor,” said Joubert. “The other two

committee members would be a medical ethicist and a medical practitioner practising end-of-life care.” She said the bill contains gaps that make wrongful deaths possible. Nobody was responsible for reviewing all the forms pertaining to a particular case; nobody was required to check that the forms completed before the death match up with the report completed after the death. “Contrary to the case in The Netherlands, this Review Committee would not have information on the person’s medical record, eligibility, or whether they made a voluntary request. No witnesses are required at the death, which means that if a person changed their mind at the last minute, nobody other than the doctor of nurse administering the lethal dose might know.” Other ‘gaps’ Joubert identified was that nobody would be responsible for following up missing death reports, a nurse would be able to administer the lethal dose even if coercion was present at the time of death, and no evidence was required that the nurse practitioner administering the lethal dose was authorised to do so.” The debate on part four of the bill is next Wednesday.

Driver fatigue stop a hit for drivers

A driver fatigue stop offering food and hot drinks was a hit with drivers passing through Pirongia last Friday. The fatigue stop organised by Waipa District Council and supported by Police, Pirongia school PTA, The Nest Cafe and Broadspectrum focused on educating drivers around taking regular breaks to avoid fatigue related crashes. In the Waipa District alone 20 percent of crashes in 2018 had fatigue as a factor. Waipa District Council road safety coordinator, Megan Jolly said the majority of drivers who stopped were going long distance and appreciated the opportunity to stop. This year at the Pirongia stop it was particularly poignant she said. ‘‘Mr Jack Rifle, a resident

from Pirongia, stopped by with his ukulele. After singing a waiata he informed everyone that he had lost three children in a fatigue related crash thirteen years ago. He was there to support our mahi. His story brought home the importance of what we were trying to do.” Another person noted that they had stopped at a fatigue stop elsewhere but this was the first time they had received education about fatigue.

“That’s why we do the stops. It’s not only to provide an opportunity for a break but also to generate conversation around fatigue,” said Jolly. Drivers were reminded that stopping every 2 hours for 10 minutes makes a big difference, and so does a power nap on the side of the road. “It’s pretty simple – just don’t drive tired. If you do, you’re putting yourself and others at risk.”

Weeping elm planted to pay CANTERBURY tribute to Christchurch attacks By Viv Posselt

A two-metre tall elm tree planted last month on a grassy rise overlooking Thornton Road’s Cambridge Bowling Club will have a special role to play in the town’s commemoration next March of the Christchurch mosque attacks. The memorial tree has been funded by the Cambridge Community Board (CCB) and is intended to reflect the town’s support, not only for those directly affected by the attack, but for all New Zealanders, said CCB member, Philip Coles. Fifty-one people died and 49 were injured on March 15 this year in two consecutive terror attacks in Christchurch, during which a lone gunman targeted Muslims attending Friday prayers at the Al Noor Mosque in Riccarton, and the Linwood Islamic Centre. Philip said the new tree extended a line of existing elms overlooking the bowling green. The ulmus camperdownii pendula is also known as a weeping elm. “On March 15 next year, we will unveil a plaque by the tree to commemorate the events of March 15 this

year,” he said. “In addition, at the exact time the first attack started, the bells at St Andrew’s Church will ring 51 times – once for each of those killed. “After that, the commemoration will continue with the Cambridge Brass Band playing at the rotunda overlooking the bowling green.” Parks and reserves supervisor with the Waipa District

Council, Stephen Bagnall, said the flowers laid outside the Cambridge Town Hall in the aftermath of the Christchurch attacks formed part of the compost in which the commemorative tree had been planted. “Some of the compost to which they were added after they were removed from the plaza has been used specifically for this tree,” he said.

Two St Peter’s staff were recognised at the Independent Schools New Zealand Awards held in Wellington. Janey Wackrow was awarded for Service to Sport, and Mike Kilgour was awarded for Service to Teaching Education Outside the Classroom. Wackrow has been St Peter’s Director of Rowing for 15 years – during which time the school’s rowing team has grown from just a few students, with one or two making A and B finals at competitions, to over 90 competitive rowers getting numerous medals at nearly every rowing regatta. The school has been overall National Rowing Champion in 2012, 2016 and 2018, and consistently places in the top three at the Maadi Cup. Wackrow was also recently appointed President of the New Zealand Secondary Schools Rowing Association. “Janey gives outstanding service to St Peter’s and the independent schools sector,” said St Peter’s principal Dale Burden. “She is an inspirational leader of what is arguably the best rowing

programme in the country.” Mike Kilgour has worked at St Peter’s for just over 40 years, starting as a Farm Manager in 1979 before progressing to science teaching in 1991 and his current HOD Agriculture and Horticulture role in 1997. He was an integral part of St Peter’s strategic move to use its farm as a structured teaching and learning opportunity and played a huge role in the development of the agriculture and horticulture subjects – of which St Peter’s now has the highest student numbers taking part with a 100 percent NCEA pass rate. He has also introduced viticulture to the curriculum, and St Peters will have its own vintage wine by 2020. “Mike’s loyalty and dedication have helped to create a better environment for all staff and students,” said Burden. “In 40 years, his enthusiasm and professionalism haven’t wavered. We are extremely fortunate to have him.”

OPINION

Happenings… It is said that there are three kinds of people: those who make things happen, those who watch things happen, and those who wonder what’s happening. A couple of weeks ago I was invited to a meeting of Greypower in Cambridge where a group of senior students from Cambridge High School were to speak on a variety of topics around the theme of what concerns them as they move from school to further education and life beyond. Climate change was, of course, high on the list. I attended the meeting and, apart from the apparently mandatory overuse of the word ‘like’, the students were articulate, confident, and possessed of eminently sensible viewpoints. I concur with Michael Cole’s assessment in his letter to the editor last week, where he wrote that these students will become “worthy citizens of our country”. A couple of days later I met with two senior students from St Peter’s School. This was a meeting I had requested by telephoning the school and asking to be introduced to the students who might best represent the environmental concerns and efforts of the school as a whole. I spent an enjoyable and informative forty minutes or so in the company of the two genuine and pleasant students with whom I had been put in touch. Since these two encounters I have been trying to find the right word to express my summary of the students’ attitudes towards climate change. And the word, even though it’s not really a word, is ‘underwhelming’. That’s an unexpected shame isn’t it? Please do not think I am seeking to disparage any of these fine young people; they have enough to deal with without having to shoulder responsibility for the state of the world into which they have relatively recently arrived. They all, without exception, expressed the view that climate change is a serious issue, which needs

By Peter Matthews

urgent attention. Just not quite serious or urgent enough to warrant the kind of single-minded demeanour of someone like say, Greta Thunberg, or Ollie Langridge - the man who protested against climate change inaction outside parliament for 100 consecutive days. It highlights the phenomenon though, that something can be so huge, so all-important, and simultaneously so underrated. Make no mistake, climate change is a future-defining issue, so how can it be so dehorned in the public psyche for so much of the time, despite incessant waves of dire headlines? The answer is: That’s just what we humans are like, and we need the movers and shakers to make things happen. I once read a book in which the author asserted that it is easier to throw away a dollar a day for years, than it is to throw away a Rolex watch. Who in their right mind would press the button that would bring destruction to life as we know it? Yet that is exactly what is happening; every day our planet inches further along the road to irreparable damage. We should thank those who make things happen for any chance we may have of a future. What I find worrying is that the rest of us might be sleepwalking into the apocalypse. By the way - last month I mentioned the climate strike event in Cambridge on Friday 20th September. I’m afraid I jumped the gun - due to clashes with mock exams these events are all taking place on Friday 27th September. If you can’t make it to Worley Place in Hamilton, which is the main event, be at the Cambridge town hall 12:00PM Friday 27th September. Make something happen paint a banner and be there! ONLY

Cambridge trust to donate trees for climate strike By Savannah Patterson

Banners will be flying, and signs will be in full swing next Friday in protest for the School Strike 4 Climate. Non-profit organisation Cambridge Tree Trust (CTT) will be donating trees for the second time in support of the cause. This is the third strike to demand the Government takes action for the climate where the public are invited to make their voices heard all over the country. CTT spokeswoman Jane Moodie said when the Trust donated trees for the last strike in April it was very successful. “At first we took 100 trees to the Cambridge Town Hall but ended up going back to the nursery to collect more as there was a lot more interest than we anticipated. “We ended up giving away about 230 trees.” She says people are welcome to join them again at the Cambridge Town Hall with signs and banners and can collect trees from 10am to 1pm or until supply runs out.

She says the trees will include totara, karo, ribbonwood, pittosporum, camellia, michelia and possibly some small kauri. The CTT aims to plant trees in and around Cambridge as well as building new walkways and teaching children how to care for the environment at the Nursery and Education Centre. They believe by doing this it will help protect the environment and enhance the town’s image. As part of the strike, people will also be gathering in Hamilton from 1pm-4pm outside the Hamilton City Council.

REVIEW:

Concert helps Kids charity Les Liaisons Dangereuses By Nancy Davies

The story line of the 1782 French novel Les Liaisons Dangereuses has stood the test of time and has been adapted for the stage by Christopher Hampton. It gives a glimpse into the lives of the idle rich in pre-revolutionary France. Lead actors Janine Swainson (Madame la Marguise de Merteuil) and Matt Silvester (Le Vicomte de Valmont) were superb and held the attention of the audience. To combat the boredom of their idle lifestyle Merteuil and Valmont amused themselves by using seduction to cruelly control and manipulate unsuspecting others then boasting and laughing behind their backs. This couple were well supported by the rest of the cast. Of these Jared Wooldridge was delightful with his extravagant mannerism and who could forget Tracey Barlow as Emilie the courtesan. Her role may have been small but her performance added much value to the story. Edite Lindenberg and Lucinda Heslin-Wightman brought their characters to life in a believable fashion. The other members of the

Our bridge is piping hot Time to look for a rook A Cambridge project designed to last 100 years has won a national award. Napier-based structural steel contractor Eastbridge won its category for the Cambridge Pipe Bridge at this year’s Steel Construction New Zealand’s (SCNZ’s) Excellence in Steel Awards. The annual awards celebrate the best and brightest in the industry and acknowledge the industry’s commitment to innovation, quality and collaboration. Wastewater from homes north of the Waikato River is piped across the river to the Waipa District Council treatment plant. The old pipe was running at full capacity and was too small to meet the needs of the growing Cambridge population. The pipe bridge, by the Gaslight Theatre, was also due for replacement.

Reconstruction of the bridge and pipe also required bringing the structures up to modern standards, specifically to futureproof against earthquakes. The bridge uses a network arch design, an efficient, lightweight form that looks slender and visually appealing. Constructed off site, the 75-tonne steel bridge took about 10 weeks to move into position. It required five cranes, including a 400-tonne crawler crane, to assemble the steel network arch spanning 75m across the Waikato River. The innovative ‘floating’ bridge foundations, constructed without piles, means the pipe services and the bridge remain flexible – in an earthquake, they would move and settle together, requiring minimal re-levelling to reinstate the critical sewer service post-event.

The team strategically constructed the new bridge by leveraging the old structure, which made for a seamless process. By using the existing truss bridge as a platform, the team designed, built and installed the structure, all while maintaining existing sewer and gas services during construction. Use of the existing pipework in the construction of the new bridge had significant cost savings for both the client and ratepayers. The team’s strategic rebuild gave the client an asset with a 100-year design life. The judges were impressed by the elegant design and innovative solution for a piece of prosaic infrastructure, noting that it was “a really smart alternative solution that ticked all of the boxes – it was cost effective, seismically resilient, sustainable and structurally adaptable”.

The Pipe Bridge features a 75 metre arch.

Volunteers ensure fresh fare for the table By Viv Posselt

Cambridge’s FoodTogether programme is helping an increasing number of families access seasonal fruit and vegetables. Cambridge is one of around 40 community hubs around New Zealand operating under the banner of the national social enterprise, FoodTogether. They supply packs of fresh produce, pre-ordered online at www.foodtogether. co.nz and delivered to a central point in each community. From there, they are repacked according to customer requirements ready for collection or delivery. Locally, that activity takes place at the Cambridge Baptist Church Hall. The church helps support the initiative and volunteers spend several hours there each Thursday morning sorting, packing and then sharing morning tea. They’ve been doing it for over three years,

much of it under the stewardship of Greg Edmeades, acting co-ordinator for FoodTogether Cambridge. “Anybody can come and buy through us. The produce is bulk-sourced in the Waikato wherever possible, and is available wholesale,” Greg explained. “Our goal is to provide nutritious and fresh produce to Cambridge residents at prices which average 40 percent less than those of retail outlets. We achieve this by supplying lines of fruit and vegetables when their seasonal price is low.” Orders come in four sizes, based on quantity and variety and ranging in price from $10 to $36.50. Once they are re-packed, clients generally collect from the church or pay a token charge to have it delivered. A recent development is the reintroduction of gift orders, which are donated by clients to help families who may be facing budget diffi-

culties. “About 10 percent of what we pack now are gift orders … we’re keen to let people know that we offer that option,” said Greg. “A gift bag could represent a saving of between 30 and 50 percent for some families. That’s significant.” Cambridge Baptist Church pastor Jonathan Ruthven is often there to help where he can. He said unlike some socially-based programmes, FoodTogether had the advantage of appealing to all. “We’ve been hosting it here for over three years. I think it’s reached close to 170 orders on occasions. It’s a great thing for us to be a part of.” Cambridge Community House (CCH) works with FoodTogether to provide fresh fruit and vegetables to families who may otherwise go without. Sometimes they receive additional

produce, perhaps as a gift order, or if there are any leftover packs once distribution is over. CCH manager Harriet Dixon said: “We give that fresh food to families in need of support. It’s great to see our community pulling together to provide for those in need; working with Greg and his team has been good for our community. We are going to start a new way of working together, to provide discount boxes for the pensioners in council housing.” Greg said more volunteers were needed for the Thursday morning sessions. “This is a great gathering place for anyone new to the community, or for people looking for fun and friendship, while making life a bit easier for their neighbours.” More information is from Greg (823 0918), or from the Cambridge Baptist Church (827 6490).

Rainbow flag flies

Cambridge High School observed Pride Week by raising a striped rainbow banner next to the New Zealand flag. New to Cambridge High this year, Pride Week was about “encouraging pride in all areas,” said Eli Archer, a Year 12 member of the school’s Spectrum League committee. The week, from September 9-13 coincided with Hamilton Pride Week which featured a Sunday in the Park and Freaky Friday youth social events. “We want to introduce Pride as something for everyone, as all students at our school have

something they’re proud of,” said Archer. The organising Spectrum League group aimed to celebrate Pride Week through a range of activities, from a mock-parade with signs announcing things they were proud of to sketches and messages in rainbow chalk around the centre of the school. “Pride is for everyone”, Archer says. “It could be a good test score.” Teachers at the school also joined in the effort, with one of language teacher Annuska Robinson’s Japanese classes creating love hearts to paste

around the school grounds. The organisers believe that introduction must be done subtly. “As cool as it is, certain people hold certain beliefs regarding LGBTQIA+, so it must be tackled sensitively, without causing any harm,” Robinson said. The aim is to gradually introduce Pride, until it becomes a “norm”. This year’s event was mainly focused on “giving Pride a go”. Archer said students took to it positively and the Spectrum League hopes to expand upon the concept next year.

Teaching history way of future History call applauded By Steph Bell-Jenkins

Cambridge woman Taaniko Nordstrom is applauding a Government move to ensure New Zealand history will be taught in all schools and kura by 2022. “It’s unparalleled how much this will change our country and life for us as Maori here in Aotearoa,” said the local businesswoman, who recently joined a land protest at

Taaniko Nordstrom.

Ihumātao and marched to Parliament to speak out against Maori babies being taken by the state. Prime minister Jacinda Ardern announced the planned curriculum changes last week, saying they would “reset a national framework so all learners and ākonga are aware of key aspects of New Zealand history and how they have influenced and shaped the nation”. Taaniko, who grew up in Cambridge, has long believed teaching students Aotearoa’s “true blood and guts history” is vital to improving outcomes for Maori. She says a lack of awareness about the historical wrongs inflicted on her people is largely to blame for the “systemic racism” that exists in contemporary New Zealand. “I guarantee you if you knew the stories of what happened to some of our people during the land grabs you’d be so understanding about the need to address those grievances,” she said. Taaniko enjoyed learning European history at high school, but wishes she’d been taught local history from primary school age.

“As an adult I learnt about an incident at Rangiaowhia, an affluent village between Cambridge and Te Awamutu, where innocent Maori women, children and elderly people were trapped in a church and burnt alive by British soldiers,” she said. “I’ve lived on this patch of land my whole life and that happened 25km away...I just couldn’t believe we hadn’t been taught about it at school. I wish I could have talked about that with my Pakeha friends at Leamington School. It would have been really nice as a child to listen to their input – to hear how they would have felt about it. “You don’t have to be Maori to understand pain and you don’t have to be Maori to understand the mamae or the hurt it must have caused the people who lived in that area and who continue to live there. “I just think without our history being taught we will continue to have people and outsiders look at places like Ihumātao and generate negative rhetoric around Maori because their understanding of what we’ve gone through is limited,” she said.

Education leaders have welcomed last week’s announcement that New Zealand’s own history will become compulsory learning from 2022. The Cambridge Principals Association head Wayne said The Cambridge Community of Learners, Te Puna o Kemureti, was reviewing their achievement challenge and following community consultation, one of its key concepts was “place based” learning – “knowing our local history”. “Any additional support or resourcing to strengthen this work would be appreciated and we would be keen to work with the Ministry of Education to shape the direction of this initiative,” he said. The Association had not met to form an official position on the announcement, but he said most, if not all, Cambridge schools were already engaged in finding ways to share the history of their community to help create a bicultural understanding of Cambridge and New Zealand.

“This has included printed resources as well as bus trips to local landmarks, and iwi sharing the local histories with the staff and students,” he said. NZEI Te Riu Roa President Lynda Stuart said last week’s decision was long overdue. “Our children need to know the true history of Aotearoa if they are to grow up to be informed citizens.” She said there would need to be support for teachers if New Zealand history was to be taught successfully in every school. “It will be important that professional development is accessible to teachers and that appropriate resources are available for teachers at all levels of the curriculum.” NZEI Te Riu Roa’s Matua Takawaenga, Laures Park, said some quality resources already existed and were being used by some schools. She said she hoped the Ministry of Education resource, Te Takanga o te Wā, would now be picked up by more schools.

Running for glory By Steph Bell-Jenkins

Competition was intense as young runners battled it out at Cambridge’s annual inter-school cross country championships at Karapiro Domain. About 250 students aged 8-11 from six town primary schools and a combined rural schools team took part. Typical spring weather threw everything at competitors during the afternoon event, from rain in the eight-year-old girls’ race to streaming sunshine for the 11-year-old

events. Winners were: Eight-year-olds – Annabel Nelson and Luke Taylor (Leamington); Nine-year-olds – Maggie Davis (Hautapu) and Tom McGuire (Cambridge Primary); 10-year-olds – Eden Wood and Finn Bell (Goodwood); 11-yearolds – Eden Early and Ryan Fisher (St Peter’s Catholic). Top 10 place-getters across all age groups received a certificate recognising their achievements.

Seniors minister to Weaving exhibition talk in Cambridge opens to public By Viv Posselt

New Zealand’s Minister for Seniors, Tracey Martin, will attend an open meeting organised by Cambridge Grey Power on October 2. Cambridge Grey Power president Val Massey said she decided to open the organisation’s regular monthly meeting to the public so locals would have an opportunity to voice their concerns. “The Minister will first give a bit of a talk, and then we’ll throw it open to questions from the floor,” said Val. “I think it will provide people with an opportunity to express their concerns to her directly, maybe raise any issues they might have. “We want to extend the invitation to beyond our membership on this occasion … and anyone from outside Cambridge is welcome to join us this time around.” Massey thought Cambridge Grey Power

Tracey Martin

Kahutoi Te Kanawa began weaving as a seven year old. Cambridge Grey Power head Val Massey

was one of the bigger local clubs, with membership of around 380. Minister Martin’s office said she would address a range of issues but specified that the SuperGold card would be topical on the day, as would the ‘Better Later Life’ positive ageing strategy which is being finalised and would be released on November 1. The meeting will be held at the Cambridge Health and Community Centre in Taylor St, starting at 1.30pm on Wednesday, October 2. Massey suggests that people jot down beforehand any questions they want to ask. “If anyone wants to email me their questions beforehand, I can put them to the Minister on their behalf,” she said. “That means that people can ask their questions even if they can’t attend the meeting in person.” Val Massey’s email address is: vlmassey. vm@gmail.com.

An exhibition featuring work of renowned Māori weaver and academic Kahutoi Te Kanawa is now on display at the Te Awamutu Museum. Created by Te Kanawa as part of her PhD, the exhibition looks at Māori fibre weaving through an intergenerational lens, observing how knowledge is passed down through generations. The collection includes kete (basket), kākahu (cloak), potae (hat), whāriki (mat), tīpare (headband), tukutuku (lashed wall panel), piupiu (flax skirt) and kono (woven bowl), created between 1970 and today. In addition to Te Kanawa’s own work, taonga created by her mother, grandmother and great grandmother, some of which they worked on together as a whānau are also on display. “Mum and Nana, always said to me as we were working together – let your mahi speak for you,” said Te Kanawa.

Te Awamutu Museum exhibitions coordinator, Henriata Nicholas said it was “an honour and a coup to have Kahu’s work grace our Museum”. “This PhD exegesis exhibition epitomises how many Māori art practitioners learn and share their creative processes. What is amazing about Kahu’s work is you can see some of her defining learning moments within her work on show.” Te Kanawa started weaving at the age of 7 in 1967. Since that time she has held kaiako, programme developer, senior lecturer, artist, and curator positions within leading university, arts, and museum institutions and has exhibited nationally and internationally for over 25 years. Te Ohonga Ake is open at the Te Awamutu Museum to the end of March. For more information visit www.tamuseum.org.nz or TeAwamutuMuseum Facebook. Entry to the museum is free.

WHAT I STAND FOR: Well planned growth can mean cost effective core infrastructure development, keeping rates controlled. Developing our key resources like water, roading and park-like presentation, providing sound basic amenities that our community can expect and be proud of.

Abby’s on target

Abby Pierce capped an excellent series of competition success as she teamed with Samuel Wilde and Nathan Allison to win the team shield at the Waikato-Bay of Plenty Secondary Schools target shooting championships last weekend. She was competing on home soil as Cambridge High School hosted and dominated the event which attracted competitors from from all over the Waikato and Bay of Plenty and neighbours St Peters High School. Sharonn Pirie, Manager of the High School Shooting team said the school entered three teams as the sport had gained popularity in the last three years. The school took top three placings in both teams and individual events. Year 11 student Abby was top individual shooter, following on from her outstanding second placing in the C-division at the national indoor championships. Competing against adults, she was the only Waikato shooter to celebrate a top three placing.

Nathan Allison placed 6th in C grade and Samuel Wilde 57th in the B Grade at the same event. Earlier at the New Zealand National Districts Championships she was a member of the Waikato Thoroughbreds team which competed in Division 1 of the A-league and beat Manawatu Marauders 11-5. The Thoroughbreds is a comprises open, composite and junior squad shooters. Cambridge High was represented by Composite Squad member Nathan Allison and form the junior Abby Pierce and Samuel Wilde. Results from last weekend: Team Shield, Cambridge Premier (Abby Pierce, Samuel Wilde, Nathan Allison) 1, Cambridge A (Rowan Pirie, Blake Lawton, Blake Allison), Cambridge B (Stacie Fourie, Liam Mauch, Katie Nichol-Williams).

Nominations period nears end First bowl of the new season

Sport Waikato Sports Awards nominations will close next Friday. Each Waikato district will have its own awards event, with category winners going forward to be considered for the Brian Perry Waikato Regional Sports Awards to be held in January. Sport Waikato CEO Matthew Cooper says taking the time to nominate sportspeople and supporters can have a big impact on how valued they feel in their community. “So many of our sportspeople and emerging athletes put a huge amount of effort and ded-

ication into their sport, and taking the time to recognise their efforts and achievements can mean so much to them. There’s also the amazing administrators, coaches, officials and volunteers who help to make these achievements possible – and we’d really like to see as many of these fantastic supporters nominated and recognised at their local event,” said Cooper. Cooper urged clubs, schools and sports organisations to take the time to fill in a nomination form so that the achievements can be celebrated. “We’ve worked really hard

to make it as easy as possible to nominate online. The forms can be saved and returned to, so you don’t have to do it all at once. You’ve got time to get all the information you need and return to submit the nomination,” said Cooper. Sport Waikato Sports Awards events will take place in Taupo, South Waikato, Waikato, Waipa, Matamata-Piako, Otorohanga, Waitomo, Hauraki/ Thames-Coromandel and Hamilton in November. Nominations can be made online at http://www.sportwaikato.org.nz/awards.

Ian Rogers, a Cambridge Bowling Club patron, life member and head coach, bowled the first bowl of the 2019/2020 season on Saturday, September 9. Warm sunshine chased away the predicted wet weather, enticing 24 club members to step onto the green to enjoy an afternoon of bowling and camaraderie. Two new members showed great promise in their first tournament, which took the form of three games of 6 ends, played in pairs. This shortened version of the game is the usual format for the bi-weekly friendly roll-ups, presently held at 1pm on Thursdays and Saturdays at the Thornton Road bowling green. As always, Ian promised to be on hand for anyone who needs to learn the game. Supplied by Margaret Stott, Cambridge Bowling Club

Lighten up

With warmer weather approaching now is the time to say ‘no’ to deep-fried foods, muffins for morning tea and snacks before dinner. If you want to look your best at the beach then now is the time to start thinking ‘thinner’s a winner.’ Instead of nibbling on chippies it’s healthier to chomp on a carrot. It certainly curbs the appetite more efficiently and is much lower in kilojoules. A glass of water every so often will also add to that full feeling, as does a hearty helping of fresh vegetables with steamed or poached chicken or fish for a light meal at night. It’s better for you to enjoy a larger lunch than fill up just before going to bed. Consider exchanging some or all of the (fattening) oil for stock or water in stir-fries. The steam generated by the water also helps to cook the vegetables more quickly. Low-fat fish contain lots of goodness but are also ‘low-cal’. Check out the supermarket freezer for some economic options such as squid, mussels and shrimp. These are excellent in salads, stir-fries and many Asian recipes using stock instead of oil. Eggs are also a good choice for lower kilojoule meals — as long as they are not fried. A 50 gram egg has about 250 kilojoules whereas a 50 gram meat patty (which has to be fried) contains about 500.

BLACKENED FISH WITH BANANA SALSA The coating and be modified to suit your palate. You could add a pinch of brown sugar, ground cumin or oregano. The more flour used the lower the (chilli) heat. Coating: 1-2 tablespoons flour 1 teaspoon each: chilli powder, paprika 1/4 teaspoon each: ground cayenne pepper, fine black pepper, salt Fish: 500g skinned and boned thick white fish fillets Banana Salsa: 1 small banana, peeled and diced 3-4 tablespoons plain yoghurt 1 teaspoon brown sugar 1 tablespoon finely chopped mint Combine the ingredients for the coating. Divide the fish into 4 servings. Dust with the coating. Combine the ingredients for the salsa.

Jericho tilt on the cards for Aigne

Aigne on his way to a big win at Rotorua last week.

Mystery Creek trainer Neil O’Dowd has set promising jumper Aigne some lofty goals later this year after his impressive 7-3/4 length victory in the Team Wealleans Hurdle (3500m) at Arawa Park on Sunday. Although he was pleased with the win, O’Dowd admitted to feeling slightly anxious heading into the race. “It was a very good run, Michael (Roustoby, jockey) timed it well and went at the right time,” O’Dowd said. “But your heart is in your mouth because it was only his second hurdle start and he was up against open horses and you just hope he jumps well, which he did, except when he fluffed the last one.” While the seven-year-old gelding now boasts a record of a win and a placing from just the two starts over hurdles, his immediate future lies on the flat, with the ultimate goal being The Jericho Cup (4600m) at Warrnambool on December 1. “There are big things instore for him,” O’Dowd said. “He will go to the Road To The Jericho (3210m) at Taranaki in two weeks (to try and qualify for The Jericho Cup) and then we will see what happens from there. “If he wins at Taranaki it’s all paid for, so you would be going. “He would go out for two weeks (after New Plymouth) and then he would come back in and run in a 2400m at Auckland at the end of October. “Then he’ll go to Christchurch for the New Zealand Cup (Gr.3, 3200m) and then go to Warrnambool.” With plenty of ability, Aigne also comes with plenty of attitude according to O’Dowd, who said the son of Sufficient is aptly named. “Aigne is Irish for attitude. He’s a real handful of a horse to train. He has got to be doing something all the time, he’s like a naughty kid.” While his hands are kept full with his rising stable star, O’Dowd also trains three other horses off his Hamilton property and he will be hoping Hong Qui can record his maiden victory at Matamata on Wednesday. The six-year-old gelding will line-up in the Waharoa Industrial Park 2000 in his first start on the flat since an injury enforced layoff. “He’s looking good,” O’Dowd said. “He’s a big, rangy horse. He showed us a bit of promise last year at Taupo when he ran a good fifth over 1800m. “I bought him to be a steeplechaser. He had a good trial at the beginning of the year, but he bumped his tendon about a week later, so I had to chuck him out for two months. “He’s been back in nine weeks now, so he is starting to come up.”

Triple Crown Series launched New Zealand Bloodstock Insurance, in association with New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing, has announced three new Triple Crown Series for the 2019-20 New Zealand racing season. Each series comprises three prestigious Group races, and each series will carry a bonus of $100,000 for any horse that can win all three races. The new initiative includes a weight-for-age, sprint, and fillies and mares series. The Weight-For-Age Triple Crown begins with the Gr.1 Cambridge Stud Zabeel Classic (2000m) at Ellerslie on December 26, followed by the Gr.1 Herbie Dyke Stakes (2000m) Te Rapa on February 8, and the Gr.1 Bonecrusher New Zealand Stakes (2000m) at Ellerslie on March 7. The Sprint Triple Crown comprises of the Gr.1 Sistema Railway (1200m) at Ellerslie on January 1, the Gr.1 JR & N Berkett Telegraph (1200m) at Trentham on January 18, and the Gr.1 BCD Group Sprint (1400m) at Te Rapa on February 8. The third series is the Fillies and Mares Triple Crown, made up of the Gr.3 Cuddle Stakes (1600m) at Trentham on March 14, the Gr.1 Fiber Fresh New Zealand Thoroughbred

A monthly gardening column, courtesy of Amber Garden Centre September gardening – Spring is in the air VEGETABLES Dig over the garden, adding compost and sheep pellets and it’s good to go. Remember crop rotation – don’t plant the same thing in the same place each year. Plant legumes and brassicas together. Broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower planted early will mature before white butterfly become a problem. Root crops – potatoes, carrots, radish, beetroot, onions – should be planted together, as these require less nitrogen than leafy crops. Too much compost and manure will cause carrots to fork and twist. Fruiting crops such as tomatoes, capsicum and chillies should received targeted feeding from the signs of first flowers to avoid leaf production at the expense of flowers. SEEDS OR SEEDLINGS? Generally, carrots, parsnips, radish, turnips, corn, peas and beans are direct sown into the garden, but they are available as seedlings. LAWNS Top-dress with a slow-release fertiliser such as Tui Lawn Force and spray Turfix to eliminate weeds. FRUIT TREES Plum trees are in full bloom – check to see if bees are around to pollinate the flowers. Lack of bees is often the cause of little or no fruit and is associated with cold, wet weather also. BE BEE-FRIENDLY Plant annuals, herbs and perennials to encourage bees into your garden – marigolds, cosmos, salvia, alyssum, lavender. Flowering trees and shrubs – camellias, cherry trees, magnolia.

Breeders’ Stakes (1600m) at Te Aroha on April 4, and the Gr.2 Travis Stakes (2000m) at Te Rapa on April 25. New Zealand Bloodstock’s managing director Andrew Seabrook believes the new Triple Crowns will provide a vital and timely boost to the New Zealand thoroughbred industry. “New Zealand Bloodstock, through its Insurance Division, is delighted to be offering these three significant bonuses,” he said. “In a time of stagnant prizemoney, I’m sure this announcement will be welcome news for stakeholders. “I would like to particularly thank NZTR for its support, along with the Auckland Racing Club, Waikato Racing Club, and Wellington Racing Club, who have all contributed financially. The Cambridge Jockey Club is also likely to confirm their support early this week. “NZB Insurance has been a significant sponsor of New Zealand racing, so thanks go

to our hard-working insurance team and our very supportive underwriters in the UK.” New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing’s chief executive Bernard Saundry has also welcomed the concept. “The series will be a fantastic addition to the 19/20 racing calendar. We appreciate the support New Zealand Bloodstock provides to thoroughbred racing in New Zealand and their innovative thinking. Concepts such as this will continue to make a significant difference to our industry.”

MORTGAGE MATTERS

Refinancing Your Mortgage

By Gavin Lynch – Yes Mortgages

Refinancing your mortgage is the process of changing your mortgage lending from your existing lender to a new lender. Refinancing is a common practice for any of these reasons: • You don’t like the lender you are with. You’ve experienced poor service, problems with staff, or high account fees. • You want to borrow more money but the lender won’t allow it. Perhaps you want to consolidate debt, borrow to purchase a rental property or a vehicle, or put working capital into a business. • You have ‘outgrown’ your existing lender and want to move forward. This is common for self-employed people with a growing business, or for investors with an increasing portfolio. • Your lender has asked you to refinance. You may be in arrears with mortgage repayments or you need to restructure your mortgage. Refinancing can involve costs such as break fees from the existing lender, solicitors’ fees, valuation charges etc, but we can help get cash contributions from your new lender to help offset these costs. At Yes Mortgages, we can outline the costs involved and find the best new lender to fit your current situation from the 25 or so different lenders available. In most instances, our service is FREE to you. Generally the benefits of refinancing outweigh the costs involved but bear in mind: Refinancing your mortgage must benefit and add value to YOU. Let us do the work to find you the best lender for your situation. 55 Victoria Street, Cambridge (between BNZ & LJ Hooker)

Multi-tasker extraordinaire Susan Mundy wears many hats and she does it with style. The super-busy Okoroire resident is creative director for Caroline Eve’s 40 nationwide stores, a gourmet ice-cream maker with a store in Tirau and takes shopping tours to New York. And if that’s not enough, she and husband Peter McKee maintain an 8000sqm showpiece property that has graced the pages of NZ House and Garden. It is their second property to have featured in the magazine. Three years ago Peter suggested to Susan that she open an ice cream parlour. Phased neither by the suggestion nor the fact that she didn’t know how to make ice-cream, Susan set about bringing the idea to reality. She attended a course in Auckland to learn the skills of ice cream making and created a rustic store in Tirau to sell her wares. While many of the flavours are imported from Italy, Susan experiments with new flavours each season. She makes her own hokey pokey for the store’s best-selling hokey pokey ice cream, as well as the pavlovas that go into creating the popular kiwi and pavlova, and lemon meringue, ice cream. The store’s two freezers hold 32 different flavours, providing customers with a selection that is hard to rival. All the ice cream is made from scratch using milk and fresh cream. One Road Ice Cream Company on Main Street, Tirau, operates on a seasonal basis, opening at Labour Weekend and closing at Easter. “I love that we only open seasonally,” says Susan, who is looking forward to seeing her customers again soon. To kick the season off, she’s introducing new flavours including Seville marmalade and green tea. But before One Road Ice Cream Company starts its busy season, Susan will complete a series of onroad style shows and take 11 ladies to New York for 10 days of shopping and restaurant hopping. “One Road Ice Cream Company came about as my back-up plan when I retire from my creative director’s role,” says Susan. With ice cream aficionados queuing up at weekends, it’s hard to see where the word retirement fits into her scheme of things. Owner One Road Ice Cream Company Susan Mundy.

Keeping cultural heritage alive Dry stone wall construction is a common sight in Great Britain, including north England where Tamahere resident Paul Oulton comes from. Some of the walls are 5000 years old and out-date the Egyptian pyramids. Having grown up seeing fields divided by dry stone walls and nurturing a true fondness for them, Oulton decided to build some here. “I’d never done it before

and was lucky to meet a Brit who had experience in this form of construction.” Oulton says the building method is not hard and with practice he has improved and acquired a good degree of expertise. He uses limestone sourced from a quarry in Te Kuiti. While the actual product is cheap, transporting it to his property is an expensive exercise. Dry wall structures are constructed from

stones without any mortar to bind them together. Their unique construction creates stability as well as load-bearing capacity through the careful selection of interlocking stones. Dry stone construction is best known in the context of stone walls, traditionally used for

the boundaries of fields and churchyards, or as retaining walls for terracing. Dry stone sculptures, buildings, bridges, and other structures also exist. The art of dry stone walling is inscribed in the Unesco representative list of the intangible cultural heritage of humanity.

DairyNZ’s three-year project, Flexible Milking for Healthier People and Cows, launched in July, is a research programme to investigate the human, animal and pasture response to milking three times in two days (3-in-2). The project is led by DairyNZ and funded by the Sustainable Farming Fund and the DairyNZ levy. The goal is to empower farmers and advisers to have the confidence to adopt, optimise, and support the use of 3-in2 milking. Expected outcomes include enhanced well-being through spending less hours on farm and having greater flexibility, as well as increased economic sustainability of farming businesses.

The first year of the study focuses on learning from farmers already using 3-in-2 strategically. This will help guide development of resources and information. A farmlet trial will also be set up at Lincoln University Research Farm to test four milking frequency scenarios. Impact on milk production, body condition, animal behaviour, pasture production and grazing management will be measured. Dairy farmers who subscribe to email updates through DairyNZ will regularly receive results from the project. Resources will be developed to help farmers make informed decisions regarding the use of 3-in-2 milking.

Concern over speed of the freshwater consultation process Federated Farmers is seeking an extension on the time-frame of the Essential Freshwater consultation so it can find a pathway forward that provides for the health of the water, the people and communities. The organisation said one week into the exceptionally short time-frame of a six week consultation an economic report released by Local Government New Zealand has highlighted alarming social

consequences for regional economies from the government’s proposals. “Normally consultation on something of this significance would be given six months, not six weeks. You have to give the people time to engage,” said national president, Katie Milne. Federated Farmers shares the New Zealand community’s vision for measurable improvements to water quality.

Rural women – the heart of the community

The need for rural women to support one another is as relevant today as it was in 1925 when the Women’s Division of the Farmer’s Union was founded. The organisation, which evolved to become Rural Women New Zealand (RWNZ), is rooted in a search for community and friendship. It is an integral part of New Zealand’s rural landscape, with an authoritative voice on health services, education, environment and social issues in the rural sector. RWNZ fully supports continued advocacy for a more holistic future of farming. The organisation was especially pleased with the 2019 KPMG Agribusiness Agenda Report acknowledging the important role women played in rural communities and businesses. National president, Fiona Gower, said they also agreed that creating a climate of well-being in communities remained a priority that needed to be addressed. “RWNZ agrees with the importance of acknowledging farmers and growers as a vital part in producing healthy, high quality food.” A recent submission on the Climate Change Response (Zero Carbon) Amendment Bill saw RWNZ supporting New Zealand’s continued efforts to address the severity of climate change and taking action as a leader in environmental sustainability.

FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 20, 2019

Cherry Tree Festival blossoming The gates at Tamahere’s English Cherry Tree Manor opened today to the splendour of the Waikato International Cherry Tree Festival. In its third year, the festival will be bigger and better than ever. Owners Paul Oulton and Anne Cao expect to host more than 12,000 visitors, double the number of last year. The event has been extended to 10 days to allow visitors more time to enjoy the festival and to mitigate any traffic issues. Oulton says they have had to become a lot more professional this year. “We’ve added new features and are providing buses to shuttle people in.” Oulton, who has lived on the property for 23 years, said the festival was originally inspired by a cheeky wedding trespass. “At first people would just take photos from the top of the drive, and then they began inviting themselves on to the property.

One day we arrived home to find a bride, groom and photographer set up for a shoot on the drive. They legged it when our car appeared, but we didn’t mind. It made us realise how special people found it to be amongst the blossoms.” The experience prompted the couple to open their garden each spring and let more people enjoy it. Over the past year they’ve planted a further 80 cherry trees as well as thousands of flowers to add to the vast flowering canvas of rhododendrons, camellias, candelabra primulas, tulips, dianthus and lavender that complement the cherry blossoms.

Multicultural entertainment, kids activities and pony rides will feature each day. Food stalls will serve an array on international cuisine and high tea is offered. The venue is also ideal for a family picnic. The rustic manor is home to alpacas and cows, landscaped nooks, a pond and orchard, pathways and unique features.

It’s double delight for Cornege

A WIN FOR CAMBRIDGE HELP US HELP THE ENVIRONMENT!!! List with LJ Hooker Cambridge between September 2019 and March 2020 and we will donate 5 native trees per listing to the Waipa District Council, to be planted to enhance the environment and our beautiful town. These trees will be planted between May and September next year.

Tree Town Real Estate Limited trading as LJ Hooker Cambridge. Licensed Real Estate Agents REA 2008

Deadline Sale - Price guide upward of $865,000

A win by De Koning at Ruakaka on Saturday, along with a promising run from stablemate Pop Star Princess, has kept the spring in the step of Cambridge trainer Fred Cornege. Cornege and his wife Lindsay are part-owners of both five-year-olds and, along with their regular jockey Lynsey Satherley, they weren’t surprised by the results last weekend in which De Koning scored decisively over 1600m and Pop Star Princess kicked back strongly for a fresh-up sixth to Orakei Overlord over 1400m. “I was happy with them both,” Cornege said. “De Koning has got the ability, but he’s a bit of a wuss and needs to man up a bit more. He could be coming right now. “As for Pop Star Princess, she lost a length on the home turn and came back again. It was only her first run and she’d just had a soft trial (which she won) here at Cambridge. “I was going to take Pop Star Princess down to Hastings for the last day (October 5), but there’s an open 1400m at Te Rapa the day before that could suit her better.

Pop Star Princess impressed first up.

“De Koning will run the same day in the Te Awamutu Cup over 1600m.” Both horses have now won three races apiece and Pop Star Princess has shown more promise with her seven placings, including a third to Bostonian and fellow Group One winner Santa Monica in the Listed Counties Bowl (1100m) at Pukekohe last year. Pop Star Princess and De Koning make up half the current team Cornege has in work and at 70 he’s enjoying pottering around with a small team. The Cornege’s daughter, Christine, has followed in her parents’ footsteps in the equestrian field and finished second in international class in Equador last weekend.

The Corneges shifted permanently to Cambridge 15 years ago and their services have been well-used for pre-training over the years. But it’s as a trainer that Cornege gets the most satisfaction, particularly with the likes of Pop Star Princess. He first tasted success as a trainer when Big Quick won at Tauranga in January 2011 and he also picked up a double with Shredder that season, then later produced the handy performer Thee Quiet Achiever and impressive 10-length debutante King Willem. Since then Cornege has ticked over with his small team and seems poised to add to his 18 wins, maybe even picking up a double at Te Rapa on October 4.

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.

BLINDED BY THE LIGHT ‘ ’ ROLLING STONE ‘ ’ EMPIRE

GOOD BOYS Invited to his first kissing party, 12-year-old Max asks his best friends Lucas and Thor for some muchneeded help on how to pucker up. When they hit a dead end, Max decides to use his father's drone to spy on the teenage girls next door. When the boys lose the drone, they skip school and hatch a plan to retrieve it before Max's dad can figure out what happened. A review: “Funniest movie I have seen in a long time. Loved this movie. The movie stayed true to most 12 year old boys everywhere. My 17 year old cursed like that with his friends at 11-12 when he thought we couldn't hear. I laughed out loud throughout this movie. Go see it.”

AD ASTRA Astronaut Roy McBride (Brad Pitt) travels to the outer edges of the solar system to find his missing father and unravel a mystery that threatens the survival of our planet. His journey will uncover secrets that challenge the nature of human existence and our place in the cosmos. Two reviews: “Fantastic movie. Really good movie; maybe not for everyone but I really enjoyed the film. A really good story and Brad Pitt's acting is always perfect. Ad Astra is indeed one of the best space epics I've ever seen.” “What a fantastic moviemasterpiece. Great science fiction movie.”

FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 20, 2019

Duncan returns to haunt WaiBOP Cambridge-born Football Fern Katie Duncan made a winning return to the club where her career started but it was at the expense of WaiBOP in the National Women’s League. Duncan scored Auckland’s second goal in their 3-0 win at John Kerkhof Park. The 31-year-old midfielder began her football career as a junior player at the Cambridge club. At the turn of the century, she was the only girl in the club’s open grade Young Guns, playing alongside boys who later went on to play senior football at the club. Duncan, then Katie Hoyle, played her way into national age-group teams, travelling to the FIFA U-20 World Cup in 2006. Since then, her 122 appearances for New Zealand’s national women’s team have tak-

en her to four World Cup Finals, including this year’s tournament in France, and to three Olympic Games. Having played overseas for clubs in Australia and England, she’s now based in Auckland. After Sunday’s game at Cambridge, Duncan added her signature to the club’s Wall of Fame – a board bearing the autographs of nearly 70 New Zealand internationals who have visited the club. Other Ferns to add their autographs to the board were Auckland captain Stephanie Skilton and Lizzie Anton. It was a fresh, inexperienced and threadbare WaiBOP Football team which opened its 2019 campaign with a home loss. First half goals from Football Ferns Steph Skilton and Duncan gave the visitors a two goal half time lead, and Britney-Lee Nicholson completed the scoring in the second half. WaiBOP coach Nico Girard admitted the match wasn’t one for the purists but felt his side put some promising aspects in place. “It probably wasn’t a game a spectator would

enjoy and there actually wasn’t much created, for me the three goals they scored were quite random,” he said. “I thought it was a strong group effort and I was happy with the progress each individual made over the course of the game – I thought they became more comfortable with what we’re asking them to do.” WaiBOP’s efforts were hampered by injury and late withdrawals. OFC U-19 Golden Ball winner Grace Wisnewski and a trio of Claudelands Rovers players, who were engaged in their club’s NRFL entry playoff on Sunday, will join the squad for the coming games. “Our key aim for this match was to get no more injuries,” admitted Girard after the match. “So in that sense it was mission accomplished. We’re looking to build a squad of players who want to be here and want to play for each other at this level. Despite today’s thin playing roster I thought the players did well, given the circumstances. It’s a starting point and we’ll be looking to build from here.”

LEFT: Sign her on! Katie Duncan added her name to Cambridge’s Wall of Fame.
