High fliers!

Luke Eades has good reason to be up in the air this week. Thanks to the work of Cambridge mums, and particularly his mum Jude Eades, pictured with son Dylan, work started this week on a $600,000 Pump Park in the town. It is already being considered as a venue for a world championship qualifying event in early 2020. Steph Bell-Jenkins has the story on Page 5 today.

Cambridge has a new group gathering each week to enjoy a nostalgic past time – board gaming.

“Gambridge” will be meeting at the Prince Albert every Wednesday from 6pm, starting on October 9. Organised by Donna Palmer, the idea is to have a simple social gathering at a local pub, playing board games.

“I think a lot of people are turning off their screens and wanting to play a real game.

People always say they love board games,” said Palmer, a school teacher by trade.

“I looked to see if there was already a board game group in Cambridge, and there wasn’t, so I thought I’ll just do it myself!

“I’m just getting it started and hoping that it becomes a regular thing for people.”

Donna said anyone can come along, it’s free, and people can bring their favourite board game or learn a new one.

“I think there are a lot of people out there who would really enjoy this sort of thing, given the opportunity.

“They can just show up on the night, or check out the Gamebridge Facebook page if they have any questions.”

A board gamer for as long as she can remember, Donna hopes someone might have Cribbage and be able to teach her how

Letters Climate change

It is pleasing that early New Zealand history is now being promoted by the Education Service. This will be a very welcome aspect of teaching for the future.

Another item that needs to be implemented into teaching is awareness of climate change.

As the years go on changes in climate will become more pronounced.

One aspect of climate change is the fact that sea levels could increase by 1.5 metres.

Land near the sea will become uninhabitable and flooding will become more prevalent.

Flooding, together with other climate changes, will affect younger members of the population greatly.

Learning about climate change in schools will increase awareness for young people.

“I’d be really keen to learn again if somebody wants to bring it down,” she said.

Several games will be provided, with Donna bringing along her favourites – Rummikub and Bananagrams. Also a big fan of Risk, she’s considering setting up a longer Sunday afternoon session during winter for the longer, several-hour-long board games.

The group is open to all adults, from those

in their teens or 20s up to retirees.

“It’s a good opportunity for younger people who have moved to town to meet other people,” added her daughter Jay. “It’s nothing too formal, just come and play a game and have a drink.

“It’s really a bit of a reminder that pubs are not just a drinking place but somewhere where people can gather and be social and have fun,” said Donna. “And it’s so much better than playing on a screen.”

Donna Palmer and daughter Jay are hoping to see Cambridge’s board game fans come along to an informal social gaming night at the Prince Albert next week.

FRIDAY OCTOBER 4, 2019

Voters go AWOL for elections Cambridge voters have been more likely to buy a Lotto ticket than return their forms in the last month.

With eight days left to have their say, more than nine out of 10 voters in Waipā have still to return their forms – and it’s worst in Cambridge, where fewer than 400 voters have had a say.

That’s despite there being strong competition for seats on both the Cambridge ward of the District Council and the town’s community board, and weekly double and sometimes treble page spreads in the Cambridge News where candidates have their say.

The electorate has the uneviable record of being one of the least interested in local body elections. In 2016 just 38.7 per cent of voters had their say. The national average was 42 per cent.

Now it’s worse. Council chief executive Garry Dyet reported this week returns were down by nearly 40 per cent compared to the same time in the 2016 election.

At last count on Tuesday, completed voting forms had been received from 7.76 per cent of eligible Waipā voters – down from 12.66 per cent at the same time in the last election.

Voting is down across all five Waipā

wards with returns the lowest in Cambridge – in keeping with the Cambridge News front page picture story of a candidates’ evening under the headline: “Who Cares?”

The answer to date is just 6.76 per cent of eligible Cambridge voters – 383 people – had cast a vote to choose who will represent them. Figures are only slightly better in Pirongia (8.16 per cent), Te Awamutu (8.30 per cent), Maungatautari (8.5 per cent) and Kakepuku (9.43 per cent).

There is no election this year for the Waipā mayoralty with incumbent Jim Mylchreest returned unopposed.

Dyet was disappointed at the level of interest and urged people to get their voting papers into the post by next Tuesday (October 8) at the “absolute latest” to ensure they were received in time.

Voting papers could also be dropped into Council offices in either Te Awamutu or Cambridge or into the after-hours slots, he said.

Votes will be accepted up to noon on Saturday October 12, but legally cannot be accepted after that. Council offices in Te Awamutu and Cambridge will be open from 9am to 12pm on Saturday October Waipa District Council’s senior communications advisor Karen Cousins with some of the footpath signage to 12 for any last-minute votes. encourage people to drop voting papers in at Council.

Life membership for extraordinary service

By Viv Posselt

Two stalwarts in the Cambridge Volunteer Fire Brigade – Win Steen and Steve Russell – have been awarded life membership by Chief Fire Officer Don Gerrand.

The prestigious honour was bestowed at a September 28 dinner for around 100, held at the fire station and attended by local firefighters, their families and invited guests, affiliated business associates and Waipa District Mayor and Mayoress, Jim and Robyn Mylchreest.

Gerrard first presented the life membership award to Steve Russell, who is leaving the service after 29 years. Russell told guests that he had never expected to stay as long as he did, but that he had so enjoyed his tenure with the brigade that he just kept going.

Gerrard recalled Russell’s entry: “He came in on his pushbike … we nearly ran him over. Then we had to get him out of the house next door so we could build the new station. Steve, we have appreciated your efforts. You have been a diligent little operator and a good man.”

Win Steen, who retired just months ago after chalking up 56 years with the brigade, was acknowledged by Gerrard as his longstanding “trusted and helpful deputy”.

“You are a man of few words, a man who

is totally respected … Win, I thank you,” he said. “I hope you will enjoy a long and happy retirement. But if you can still hop in your car and come down to the station to do the books, you will be most welcome.”

Steen said it was “an honour” to accept life membership. “Cambridge Fire Brigade

Waipa District Mayor Jim Mylchreest pinning the life membership award to Win Steen’s jacket.

is one of the top voluntary brigades in the country. We have had three QSM recipients, including Don Gerrand. We have an exceptional group of people here. Would I do it again? Yes, I would!”

Gerrard recognised the Steen family’s accumulated 127 years’ association with the Cambridge brigade – made up of Win’s 56 years, his brother Ken’s 31, and their father Tom’s 40. His comment that such a record would be hard to top was headed off by a call from the floor suggesting the Gerrand family was well on its way.

“The Steen name is etched into the history of this fire brigade,” said Don Gerrard.

Winston Steen’s service drew high praise from Mayor Mylchreest, who said he recalled awarding him his 50-year gold star at one of the first ceremonies he presided over after being elected mayor in 2013.

“I remember thinking then that 50 years was phenomenal. Now, at 56 years, it’s amazing.”

He said Cambridge was lucky to be home to so many talented people who won awards for their achievements and brought recognition to the town.

“But those who volunteer for the fire service and St John are among the few who do it purely for the good of the community.”

He thanked both men for their service

and said he didn’t know how New Zealand could afford the service “if it weren’t for men like you”.

The men’s wives – Yvonne Steen and Michelle Russell – were acknowledged for their role in supporting their husbands with a presentation of flowers.

Pump it up!

Jude Eades and a group of fellow Cambidge mums have raised $600,000 for a new Cambridge pump park.

The sports administrator was delighted to see 18 months of effort pay off on Monday as construction of the 2500m² facility began in Dominion Ave, beside Cambridge Skatepark.

Pump tracks combine rolling jumps and turns found on traditional BMX style tracks with the flow of mountain bike trails and the rhythm of skate parks.

Surfaced with asphalt and catering to “everyone from toddlers on balance bikes right through to Olympic athletes”, the Cambridge park will be particularly suited to bicycles and skateboards.

It is backed by BMX Olympian Sarah Walker, who attended a blessing of the site on Sunday with elite cyclist Jayden Fleming and other supporters.

“I think I will be spending at least one session a week here as part of my training,” Walker said.

“A pump track is not really about pedalling, it’s about using your body to gain momentum and build speed through getting a good rhythm and using the jumps, which you do in BMX racing. One of my priorities is to enjoy riding my bike, and based on the park’s plans, location and land area it looks

like it’s going to tick that box for sure.”

Walker said the project was “really exciting for Cambridge” because the pump track discipline had just become a world championship event.

“The really cool thing is, the people who will be building the Cambridge track do all the best pump tracks in the world – they’re the global standard really,” she said.

The Swiss company, Velosolutions, is owned by former competitive mountain biker Claudio Caluori, who designed the Cambridge park and will personally build it.

The facility will feature a 222m-long pump track for beginner and intermediate riders and a 196m-long track for advanced users, connected by a bowl.

Craig Pattle, director of Velosolutions’ New Zealand franchise, believes the park will be “one of the biggest in the world” when it is completed.

“It’s definitely a testament to Jude and the huge amount of work and effort she’s put in to make this happen on such a big scale,” he said.

Pattle said plans were underway to host a Red Bull Pump Track World Championships qualifying event which would attract competitors from across New Zealand to the new park early next

year.

Eades said the project started when she and a group of other mums decided they wanted a pump track in Cambridge and a reason for their children to “get off devices and get outside”.

Having spent her career working in high performance sport and “running a fundraising company on the side”, she set about raising the money needed.

“The Cambridge Community Board and Jumble Around gave us $5000 each to start the ball rolling, as well as significant grants from Trillian Trust, Pub Charity and the New Zealand Racing Board. Then in June we got $250,000 from the Lottery Community Facilities Fund, which made the project a reality and gave us the ability to build all three stages, followed by grants from Trust Waikato, Cambridge Rotary and Cambridge Lions to complete the whole project,” she said.

“I don’t think I can thank them enough for

supporting the project when it was only on paper. They went out on a limb and backed our dream.”

Eades said her group was also grateful to Cambridge Photo and Print, Cambridge councillor Liz Stolwyk and mayor Jim Mylchreest, who supported the project and helped them secure the council-owned Dominion Ave site, and local firms including C&R Developments, Winstone Aggregates, Higgins, BCD Group and Curin Contractors Ltd. “Every business that could get behind us has got behind us,” she said.

Cr Stolwyk applauded Eades’ efforts.

“Jude has masterminded and fundraised for this in a very short time period,” she said.

“She’s a very smart, very community orientated person. She’s just been amazing.”

It is hoped the new pump park will be finished in November.

Historical birthing centre explained As interest grows in local archaeological discoveries, Cambridge Historical Society president Grant Middlemiss is keen to encourage people to join the group. “This area was the centre of so much habitation… there are more and more developments underway around Cambridge. There will be more finds like this … that excites me.”

IT'S...

!

Y A D E T VO R E B O T C O 5

Cambridge Historical Society president Grant Middlemiss with Ngati Koroki Kahukura representative Poto Davies.

By Viv Posselt

Details around centuries-old Maori fertility and birthing traditions were explained to a group of Cambridge Historical Society members when they visited the site of a Maori birthing unit that existed roughly 500 years ago.

Archaeologists believe the site once housed an extensive birthing area - whare marama. Excavations done last year exposed evidence of widespread garden plantings, large and small storage and firepits, walled areas and spaces where people would have been involved in the birthing process.

An agreement between the private landowner and mana whenua has resulted in the site being blessed by iwi, fenced and grassed over pending formal registration as ‘historic’.

Iwi hope it can eventually be turned into a place where children can play, and where a diorama will tell the story of the area.

The Cambridge Historical Society’s field trip last weekend was to the appropriately-named Whare Marama Drive in Pukekura Estate off Roto-o-Rangi Drive. It was led by society president Grant Middlemiss and addressed by members of the Ngati Koroki Kahukura iwi, including the co-chair of Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari Poto Davies, and Ellen Tupaea, a Maori midwife of Tuwharetoa descent who married into Ngati Koroki Kahukura. She has been acting as kaitiaki (guardian) of the site.

Davies said a whare marama, known in the Maori culture as a ‘moon house’, was named for its relationship with a woman’s fertility cycle and the moon phases. She said much of what had been excavated validated stories she had heard from her own mother, and she believes the site may still have been working in the early 1800s.

“We found obsidian lying everywhere …

that was something we hadn’t seen anywhere else.” Obsidian was highly prized and often associated with toolmaking.

The whare marama would have been built against a large tree intended to provide physical and spiritual support to the women, Davies said. The placenta would traditionally have been buried in a pit beneath the tree, and it is likely that stillborn infants would have been similarly buried as they were historically treated as whenua (afterbirth), she said.

Both menstruation and pregnancy were considered sacred, with a deep reverence shown to Maori women, said Ellen Tupaea.

They were provided with the best foods prepared in specific firepits; different pits being used for the preparation of fish, meat, potatoes, greens and so on.

“In our Maori culture, there would have been a big tree with a pit behind it … gardens would have been all around the site. There would have been hundreds of gardens,” she said. Smaller firepits inside the whare suggested the presence of areas where water would have been steamed, perhaps with the additions of rongoa (medicine) to assist labouring women, who gave birth standing or squatting rather than lying down.

“This place would have been known as somewhere special … people would have come from all around the area,” she said. “It wasn’t here just because it was a nice place, but because it had significance in terms of where it is.”

Tupaea said while she had heard about whare marama, she has never seen one.

“No other whare marama has been found intact like this in New Zealand. It is very special.”

Shopping plan to stop “leakage”

By Sophie Iremonger

A new initiative to keep spending money in Cambridge launches today.

Totally Locally aims to encourage Cambridge shoppers to buy local, rather than from the big-box, out of town stores.

Similar to the “Love Cambridge” campaign, which was launched when the Waikato Expressway diverted state highway traffic out of town, the initiative helps shopkeepers to encourage local shoppers into their stores and reminds the community to keep it in Cambridge.

“Love Cambridge served its purpose, but we’ve decided it’s time for something completely new,” said Kelly Bouzaid, Cambridge Business Chamber CEO. The initiative originated in the United

Kingdom and is launched as retail foot traffic in Cambridge tracks 5% behind 2018 levels, Aroha Croft, the Chamber’s Membership Coordinator, said it was a perfect time to “tool up” with a full marketing kit and help educate and support retailers on what to do and how to do it.

Promotional material and tool kits are being posted on the Chamber website and its Facebook page.

“Even though people are talking about the growth in Cambridge, the day to day retailer is still very much working very hard. Winter has been really slow, our pedestrian counter has seen a decrease of numbers on and off… it’s been a really slow winter,” Bouzaid said.

The promotion pushes the statement that if every adult spent $10 a week in an independent store in Cambridge, $6 million would be generated back into

the town’s economy.

“We had a massive amount of leakage of dollar spend, up to Hamilton or online, and that’s what Totally Locally is looking to address. It’s more than a shop local programme, it’s a marketing toolbox … because there’s actually very little in Cambridge you can’t buy.”

Cambridge retailer and Wholly Cow owner Carrie Andrews supported the Totally Locally initiative and said she would back it as a shopper too.

“We support those who support us.

That’s what it’s all about, keeping it in the community, and looking after our local community, rather than going out of area.”

“That’s how we make our livelihood, people in the community shopping locally,” said her son, and employee, Luke Andrews. “To keep small businesses going you need to shop locally.”

Wholly Cow owner Carrie Andrews (right) and son Luke support the Totally Locally initiative both as retailers and shoppers.

Halloween horrors promised at fundraiser

By Viv Posselt

October has arrived and Halloween looms … seems the time is right to dust off whatever hobgoblin horrors rattle your chains and head across to the Fox-Worthingtons for a scaring that just might top them all.

The normally dapper Peter Fox-Worthington is orchestrating a terrifying haunting over five evenings leading up to Halloween on October 31. Together with his long-suffering yet strangely supportive wife and daughters, the family’s pledge is to scare the bejeezus out of all comers.

The five-night fearfest is all in the name of fundraising for St John, which will offer some comfort to those with dicky hearts.

If you’re going to be petrified half to death, rest assured … this family knows CPR. The Cambridge real estate broker has transformed his home

over the past few months. Black lace curtains cover the windows, potions and poisons assembled, props and outfits collected, skeletons positioned, cobwebs draped and flowers cut and wilted for decoration. He has even replaced his own family photographs with hideous alternatives, and terrifying holograms are being readied to peer down from the walls.

“I don’t want to present your standard Halloween-themed party, with the odd scary image and things that go ‘boo’. This will be a complete makeover that follows a story,” Peter said.

“We will all be dressed for the occasion … visitors will be greeted with a brochure outlining the story as they are directed through different areas of the house.”

Without revealing all, the tale involves a lot of death, leading to the inevitable array of ghosts – one pair is set to dance in the wind in the outdoor pavilion, another will play the harpsicord.

There will be ‘dead’ food and flowers, arms extending from

graves, a collection of eerie sounds, spooky movies, and a zombie-repellent candle will join several others to provide the only available light.

Peter, his wife Justine and daughters Robin and Poppy, all have parts to play; Peter is looking forward to giving his unusual collection of furniture and artefacts a uniquely Halloween airing. “I’m very proud of my collection. It’s taken 40 years to bring together … people don’t often get to see it. And while I have had other occasions here, things like garden parties, I haven’t gone to this extent before to mark Halloween.”

Signs will be put up outside the Fox-Worthington’s home within the next week or so, and Peter will drop around 1000 flyers into post boxes.

Parade entries open

Cambridge will go international at Christmas as its annual float parade shapes up for an “around the world theme.”

The parade will be staged on December 1 and will be coordinated by Destination Cambridge, which says entries will be accepted from now until November 22.

Last year’s parade was fully subscribed with 50 floats and organisers say based on interest to date they expect the same number again.

The parade will start at 2pm, and is expected to last around 45 minutes Judging will be based on evidence of a Christmas around the world theme, aesthetic appeal, colour and vibrancy, people involvement with the float in the parade and how they move and relate to the crowd, and originality and novelty.

The parade will be assisted by grants from Pub Charity and the Cambridge Community Board along with sponsorship from New World. Waipa District Council is also supporting the parade through traffic management.

LOVE CYCLING? Show us how much you love cycling and you could WIN 4 GOLDEN TICKETS to the TISSOT UCI Track Cycling World Cup.

Destination Cambridge chief executive Miff Macdiarmid said without the funding it would be a different event.

She acknowledged the support of Logan and Nicola McKenzie and their team at New World as being invaluable to the parade.

They sponsored the event and were also there on the day as part of the volunteer crew.

“Vicki Ewing is again taking on the role as our Specialist Parade coordinator and she does a sterling job in making it a seamless, safe, and fun day for all”.

The categories for this year’s floats will be schools, community groups, pre-schools and business. The overall winner will be chosen from the category winners. Category sponsors also include Kaz Designs, GW Scott & Associates and Picture Show Ltd. Volunteers from Cambridge Rotary, New World Cambridge, Waipa District Council and the Cambridge i-SITE will contribute to a team of 50 responsible for Health and Safety.

Entry forms f are available from the Cambridge i-SITE or contacting by email info@cambridge.co.nz .

The prize includes four finals night tickets, hosted tour around the action packed infield and memorabilia to take home.

750 hours of volunteer work helps make Sarah…

So grand for St John

By Viv Posselt

Cambridge’s Sarah Rix has topped eight years of hard work with a memorable visit to Government House to receive her St John Grand Prior Award from New Zealand Governor-General, Dame Patsy Reddy.

Sarah, 17, was presented with her award in Wellington.

The Grand Prior Award is considered the most challenging and highest attainable by those in the St John Youth programme. It is gained by completing six compulsory badges, six badges of the cadet’s choosing from 29 available subjects, plus 100 hours of community service.

Sarah, who belongs to Division One of Cambridge St John, completed a raft of badges, including first aid, drill, caregiving, community awareness, communication, St John (history of the organisation), leadership, home technology, hobbies, health, civil defence, casualty simulation, camping and more.

She also did more than the minimum in terms of community service. She elected to volunteer at the Salvation Army for her run at community service and has chalked up an impressive 750 hours.

“I found I really loved it, so just kept going.

But I had to stop recently because of time constraints.”

“I’ve been involved with St John since I was nine and started as a senior cadet when I was 13,” she said. “You’re generally expected to complete your Grand Prior by the time you are 18.”

With those Grand Prior commitments behind her, Sarah is busy working up the ranks and is training as a cadet leader. “I have more time now to focus on that. You tend to become quite consumed by the Grand Prior Award

while you’re working towards it.”

The St John Youth programme takes young people up to the age of 18; thereafter they can opt to remain as leaders and trainers, or move into different areas of the service if they want to keep up their involvement with St John.

Sarah has no plans to leave. “It has been such a big part of my life since I was nine and I really enjoy it, so I plan to stay on as a leader. I’d like to help future cadets go through the programme.”

Besides the hard work, good fun and knowledge she has gained, Sarah said her time with St John has also given her a career path. She wants to do something in the health sector, perhaps nursing or as a first responder.

“You learn so much more than just first aid in St John, such as core values, discipline and leadership skills. For me, I found it really shaped me as a person.”

For all the confidence St John has given her, Sarah does admit to a few jitters when she found herself amid the ceremonial splendour of Government House.

“I didn’t think I would be, but I was really nervous. It’s quite a place to be.”

Year nines make The issues… a difference

By Matteo Di Maio

“It’s been a pretty big hit, as you can see,” says Jacoba Gread, as she points out the hoards of Cambridge High School students crowding around last Wednesday’s sausage sizzle and bake sale fundraiser.

Gread, along with the rest of her form class, has been working hard for the last term to organise a fundraising event for the KidsCan charity.

Tasked with the question “how can we make a difference in the community” for their Year 9 health project, her form class eventually settled on the charity thanks to its mission to help Kiwi school kids going through poverty.

“We’ve chosen a few schools … where [kids] don’t have enough money to buy lunches, or shoes or anything like that. Our money is going to go to Kids Can and they’re going to buy the necessities for those kids’ lives,” Gread said.

Led by class “CEOs” Freya Kardas and Holly Robinson, her form class secured sponsorship from New World and The Warehouse. New World helped the class to purchase “sausages, bread, paper towels and things like that “to help with the sausage sizzle, and The Warehouse “gave us a $50 dollar voucher to go towards helping children in poverty,” said Gread.

As well as the sausage sizzle and bake sale, the class also ran a clothing drive, where CHS students “brought in clothes to give to children around our age who don’t have adequate clothing”.

Asked how the class has taken to the challenge of organising the event, Gread was positive.

“It’s been pretty full on, trying to organise everything quickly, but it’s been pretty fun too.

The last few couple of weeks we’ve all just come together and made it work.” *Matteo Di Maio is a student at Cambridge High School

Elections

We’ve been quizzing council candidates during the election campaign to give you a better idea of where they stand. This week we asked them about support for retailers. We note there had ben a 5% year-on-year drop in pedestrian traffic for August and asked candidates if councils had a responsibility to help support retailers and businesses – and if so, how. We also asked their views on traffic volumes and parking availability. Here’s what your candidates said.

WAIPA DISTRICT COUNCIL Cambridge Ward Philip Coles To support our local businesses, as a Councillor, I will be advocating that the District Promotional fund is used to support our local organisations: like the Chamber of Commerce and Destination Cambridge.

For example, Destination Cambridge recently had its inaugural Culinary Cambridge. With more funding and support, initiatives like this can attract more visitors, accommodation nights, and revenue for our local businesses . The chamber is shortly launching Totally Local Cambridge (TLC) to bring back $6m of the $70m currently spent elsewhere by locals. Council’s role is therefore to continue to enable and financially support these organisations.

The Council has a definite role in town planning, which includes parking and public transport. We need to plan now for an expanding Cambridge. I would like to see a central area identified as a transport hub, from which a local town orbiter bus service could operate. We also need subdivisions developed that are fit for purpose and have bus stops. To improve parking in the interim, we need to mark our existing areas to accommodate more parking through better design and marking of spaces. Further promotion for cycling needs to continue with

“Life is better poolside”

more cycle friendly paths and safe roads crossings.

Poto Davies Council should always assist when they can but the leadership and solutions need to come from the business community – Cb identities organised and recently ran Culinary Cambridge which was a huge success and has opened doors to other opportunities; also encouraged everyone to spend $10 a week in CB which would have a huge flow on affect in supporting local business.

Dennis Finn Council’s role is to support businesses and other organisations to attract people into the town.

Council can support that by maintaining an attractive and safe environment within the central town and, if there was a collective approach to boost pedestrian numbers, I’d be keen for Council to contribute to that discussion. It would however be the responsibility of businesses to collectively work on that through their marketing strategies.

It certainly appears that traffic volume

has increased but it seems manageable.

Getting a park in the main street is at times more difficult but I’ve always found parking available in the car parks east and west of the main street. While I agree this will be an increasing problem it is a matter that should be included within Council’s strategic direction and constantly reviewed.

As to how this will be addressed needs further thought bearing in mind that we don’t want to remove trees from within the town precinct. Other options can be considered.

Roger Gordon This is an age-old question. I think that, like so many projects, it is best if it is a partnership between retailers and council.

Retailers know shopping. They have created promotions such as “Love Cambridge” – Shop, Taste, Indulge; “Totally Local” and “Culinary Cambridge”. However unfortunately, not all retailers buy in to these promotions.

There are only 30 subscribed retailers to Love Cambridge.

Council’s role is to support these projects and provide a positive and safe environment. Support such as flags and promotional material around town, traffic management plans and some project funding through the District Promotional and CCB Discretionary Funds.

We will soon see the long-awaited park-

ing report from Council which will hopefully identify some short-term solutions. However, with the predicted growth in residential (>5,900 homes) and industrial (>3,000 jobs) in the next 15 years we need now to consider and plan for a longer-term solution.

There needs to be an investment in a Traffic Strategy that considers future urban traffic patterns, parking supply, park’n’ride options, local bus service, and cycle and pedes-

trian use. We need to consider commuter traffic and identify home and work bound traffic routes that skirt the CBD. An earlier consideration of a third bridge may assist.

Steve Grounds Council needs to be aware of and seek to support local businesses, tourism groups and event organisers wherever and whatever way they can. There are potentially a number of reasons for this [five per cent pedestrian traffic volume] reduction, and consistent with similar trends across the country in the retail sector in other parts of the country. The reduction in a number of people visiting Cambridge is of concern. We need to monitor the situation and support initiatives that will bring visitors here and ensure that we provide the infrastructure for them when they arrive 2. Congestion and a shortage of parking in the CBD is becoming an increasingly significant issue that needs to be addressed. Our town continues to grow and the situation can only get worse. We need to be addressing this now. Building more carparks and monitoring and enforcing parking times are options we need to consider. In respect to traffic, we need to look at traffic flows associated with development and growth and have a clearer plan to address it. In respect to parking I believe we need to look at self-funding options in the first instance.

Greg Keyte I am not sure that five per cent in a one year comparison is enough to show a trend however if this is a community problem then the council needs to support the community with finding appropriate solutions.

The council already encourages multiple initiatives to bring people into town. The various events such as national sporting events, Armistice day and celebratory events in the community brings people into town. Where there are more people in town more money is spent in the community.

This is not a council problem but a community problem that the council can support the community to resolve.

One of the problems with parking in Cambridge is that people do not like to walk. I personally have always been able to find a park at any of our supermarkets. If we are talking about parking right outside a specialty shop, I do not know of any other major town or city where you can do that unless you are very lucky. I believe that there is parking in Cambridge and normally within a block of the shop you want. If parking was easy at every shop I would be very worried about the viability of retailing in Cambridge.

Mike Pettit We had more rainfall this August compared to 2018, so this alone will impact pedestrian numbers. One of council’s goals should always be to support a thriving and healthy business community.

Free parking, a tidy and inviting CBD, clean public toilets and parking, are all areas we should expect high levels of service. Continuing to invest in the I-Site, Tourism Waikato and supporting the Waipa Business Awards are all examples of council’s investment in Cambridge businesses.

Rezoning areas of Carters Flat into commercial/retail should be a priority as other industrial land becomes available for businesses to relocate. We need to better link the CBD with Lakewood and Carters Flat as they develop.

Council has been dragging the chain on a traffic and parking review. The Cambridge Community Board initiated this and a council budget has been set. Accountability is needed.

Short term solutions could be signage to carparking within 100 meters of the CBD, which is underutilised. Future focus includes increased parking around the CBD, safer cycle/ mobility accessibility into and across town, better public transport including an orbiter bus concept. With improvement along these lines we need an education and marketing campaign to then change people’s transportation mindset and habits.

Liz Stolwyk Council has been very proactive in this area for some time – its responsibility lies in ensuring our town is well maintained, is attractive to visitors and our infrastructure, lights,

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.

roads, sewerage works. This council has also invested in good playgrounds, libraries and public spaces.

Online sales have also been making an impact to our business community who provide products – Cambridge has a point of difference and locals I believe will continue to support local businesses.

Our food/beverage businesses also see significant benefit in the events that the Waipa holds and Council invests in. Visitors to our district for events can bring in an economic benefit of over $7.75 million dollars over the course of one event over 10 days. Councils investment in Karapiro and the Avantidrome pulls in non-resident money that hugely benefits our business community.

Providing good accessibility to our CBD and parking is important to our business vitality – Council is working on some measures to improve this and we will see more controls on parking coming into play shortly. Improving local knowledge of available carparking close to our CBD is a Council priority but I also think extra parks for elderly outside libraries etc is important.

Council already does quite a lot to help businesses in Cambridge, for example backing events that bring huge numbers of people to town. Listening to and supporting the Cambridge Business Chamber is one of the most important things that Council can do, the new Totally Local Cambridge is a great initiative to support local business, especially retailers. Smart planning is also important, we don’t want a “Base” type development taking away from the CBD, and more residential capacity like apartments could really help boost the town centre.

Parking is one area that Council can help the local businesses and retailers, and the quickest win would be enforcement of the time limits on our existing parking spaces. There are still a lot of people who park all day in the prime spaces outside our shops, this makes it very difficult for people in a hurry or people with limited mobility to access our retailers.

Encouraging more walking, cycling, and public transport would also help. There has been suggestion of a parking building, but is that the best use of land and rate payer funds?

COMMUNITY BOARDS – Cambridge subdivision Elise Badger Thriving local business is one of the cornerstones of a healthy community and I’d be interested to hear from local retailers about the ways they think council could specifically support their operations. In order for local businesses to thrive we need to support people to choose to spend their money in our local businesses, a “Choose Local” campaign that champions our local businesses may be a valuable initiative.

An essential element of supporting local business, and concurrently reduce parking and traffic congestion is to create viable options for people to move about the town on foot so they can spend time and money in local businesses. Council needs to be proactive in finding a solution to the traffic and parking congestion not by making more carparks, but by providing alternatives transport options for residents. I think Cambridge township needs safe cycleways that connect the township to all surrounding suburbs and that serve mobility scooters, prams, pedestrians as well as cycles; we need more pedestrian friendly amenities like drinking fountains and benches. We must think creatively about protecting the character of Cambridge and not just plugging more cars into the township.

Jo Davies-Colley Before any action is taken, retailers themselves should be consulted. What is it that they want and what opportunities for their particular business could be explored?

To keep Cambridge’s great atmosphere, we want to maintain and support our local and independent retailers. I believe the Council’s role in this includes promoting our local businesses and facilitating opportunities that will encourage more people in to town during the quieter months.

Ways to achieve this include improving parking and investigating public transport options, making town more accessible, and encouraging business owners to open on Sundays and during local events such as the Trash and Treasure Market and the Autumn Festival. Event organisers should be encouraged to liaise with businesses as to how they could benefit from participating in local events.

The Council could encourage more food and music festivals, street parades, an “eat street” with local food vendors, and atmospheric street lighting to attract both locals and wider community members to come into town. These are just a few ideas that the Community Board could consider to continue to make Cambridge the great town it is, while also encouraging more people to head into town during the cooler months.

Les Bennett, Philip Coles and Roger Gordon are standing for both the Waipa District Council and the community board.

Alana MacKay The lower pedestrian numbers probably have more to do with the very wet winter than anything else.

MORTGAGE MATTERS

Free Up Your Cashflow

By Gavin Lynch – Yes Mortgages

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

THEN MAYBE YOU SHOULD CONSIDER DEBT CONSOLIDATION. What is debt consolidation?

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

Who should consider debt consolidation?

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

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

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

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

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

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

School holidays magic at the Meteor A children’s school holidays production starting this weekend at Hamilton’s Meteor Theatre brings together some of Waipa’s younger talent in a family-friendly feast of magic.

The production is called Theandrican, named for the magical land to which three children are transported after a game of hide and seek goes wrong. It is the eighth children’s theatre show to be staged at the Meteor Theatre by local children’s theatre company, Stories and More. Their earlier productions

were The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe in 2016, and The Magician’s Nephew in 2018.

Theandrican has been adapted by Stories and More founder Cecilia Mooney from the original play penned by Owen Mooney. The plot follows the three children – John, Linda and Zara – as they try to find their way back home with the help of the magical people they meet along the way, all the while trying to avoid an evil wizard.

It includes characters such as fairies, the ‘back-to-front’ girl (a girl who can speak only in reverse), a wise Oracle called Queen Patra, talking liquorice cats, and the alwayspreoccupied fairy godmothers whose help quickly turns to hindrance at the flick of a wand.

WAIPA NETWORKS ARE YOUR LOCAL ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR We are here to help you with: • Service Mains • Overhead and Underground Reticulation • Inspection Services

Cecilia, who is also directing the production, said: “The whole show is very magical. We wanted to present a fairy-tale that captures the imagination of young and old.”

The cast features adults as well as youngsters drawn predominantly from students in the Stories and More drama classes. For a few, Theandrican marks their stage debut. That’s the case for Pirongia resident, Niamh Trodden, who plays a fairy godmother. “I’ve always been interested in the arts and performing,” she said. “It’s been really awesome to be involved in a show outside of a school production.”

The show will mark the fifth Stories and More production for Te Awamutu resident Vienna Seabright. She began doing shows with the theatre company at the tender age of five, and recently played a lead role in the Te Awamutu Primary School production of Jukebox Time Machine.

“It’s a lot of fun. I really enjoyed being part of an all-ages show and being a fairy in the show,” Vienna said.

Also on the cast is Cambridge’s Hamilton Kay, who is playing The Electricity Person in the production.

Describing Theandrican as children’s theatre made by and for children, Cecilia said Stories and More had become known for including children from their drama classes in their shows.

“It’s so important to us that the students in our drama classes get the opportunity to put what they’ve learned in class into practice.”

Theandrican is running at The Meteor in Hamilton from October 5-12. There are 11am shows on October 5, 8 and 10; 2pm shows on October 6 and 12; and 7pm shows on October 5 ,9, 10 and 11.

Several adults, angry at their own generation for inaction, joined the school students demanding action on climate change in the Hamilton CBD. Student organiser Joe Dillon, from CHS, used a megaphone to tell the crowd that the time to ask quietly for change had passed.

“Without an aim and without demands, this (strike) is just an excuse to wag,” Dillon said.

He said it would be the last climate strike he’d organise in Hamilton, with plans to soon move to Wellington.

“I think it went excellently, with around 700 more people that

expected, this was an absolutely amazing surprise,” he said.

“All in all, I think it’s the best I could have hoped for for the last climate strike I organise in Hamilton.”

Nationwide, around 170,000 people took part in protest events with another 290 businesses closing for the day. Strikes were held in 45 towns and cities with over 80,000 attending the Auckland strike and 40,000 gathering in Wellington. It amounted to roughly 3.5 percent of the population taking the streets.

The School Strike 4 Climate national body said strike events would continue to be planned until meaningful action was taken. At the Hamilton protest, demands included declaring a climate emergency, ending the exploration and extraction of fossil fuels, and becoming carbon neutral by 2035.

tion of the region, I really hope that that’s not indicative of the level of support that this issue has in the community, because that would be disastrous.”

Cambridge High School students Cody Bargh, Chris Goonan and Roan Vanzyl said they were happy with the turnout.

“The amount of people who actually came is pretty good,” said Chris, considering the events planned in Hamilton and the state of the weather. “There may not be heaps of people here but there will be in Hamilton.”

“I think it’s a good turn out,” Cody added. “It’s good that everybody is getting together and actually doing something about it… We’re running out of time.”

With one person men-

tioning the science of core samples – which show that the change in climate is part of a natural earth cycle – the boys agreed that was most likely a fact. “I think (earth warming) has happened

before, but we’re making it worse by what we’re doing,” said Cody.

“A lot of people don’t know that our planet’s dying because of things we’re doing,” Roan said.

The argument continues... The band will play on Sir David Attenborough launched the United Kingdon’s £200m polar research ship vessel bearing his name last week with a warning about global warming.

The 93-year-old naturalist who has spent five decades watching and studying the world’s flora and fauna said “our world is changing and it’s clear that people around the world – especially the young – are becoming more and more concerned about a climate catastrophe”.

“This astonishing ship... will find the science with which to deal with the problems that are facing the world today and will increasingly do so tomorrow.” There was Royal affirmation too. Prince Harry said in Botswana: “no one can deny science” when it came to climate change.

But amid the marches in New Zealand last week climate-change deniers celebrated some counter “protest action”.

The young were condemned for being the first generation to demand air conditioning in every classroom, wanting TV in every room and spending all day and night on electronic devices and arriving at school in “caravans” of private cars rather than walking or riding.

On the Facebook page of the climate change supporters in New Zealand there was opposition, too.

Auckland climate change denier Phil Turner claimed the “global warming hoax is now known as the most political and evil scam in recent history”.

He said there was no climate crisis, no sea level rise and no danger from carbon dioxide.

And he challenged readers: “do some research, and you will find no climate crisis to demonstrate about and plenty of real scientific proof that the corrupted models are all wrong.”

David Attenborough would beg to differ...

There were major gatherings around the country, this one in Wellington.

Alan Read, Master of the Freemason’s Alpha Lodge in Cambridge, presents a $600 cheque to the Cambridge Brass Band Musical Director Rob Hocking during a lodge fundraising night. Both organisations have been active in the community for more than a century. The Alpha Lodge function was one of four or five which it plans to hold during the year, dispelling the view that it is a “secret society”. The money raised for the band will be used to assist with providing uniforms for members from Cambridge Middle and Cambridge High schools.

Gorge-ous outing

Members of the Cambridge Tramping Club travelled to Te Kuiti for our latest outing at the Mangaokewa Scenic Reserve.

We parked at the rugby grounds then walked along the road and down onto the riverside walkway.

It was a bit overgrown with long grass and weeds but wasn’t too bad and we soon got to a bridge which we crossed onto a good track through the Mangaokewa Gorge to a scenic reserve. There we crossed the Mangaokewa River on the swing bridge and had our lunch.

We then went back on that side of the river to the camping ground and had a

rest. There were a few people camping there-not bad for the time of year. We then crossed the river on the bridge and back to the cars.It was a beautiful walk through bush and past a few waterfalls including the Cascade waterfall coming down the steep sides of the gorge which were very high.

The weather was really good with just the odd light shower which didn’t bother us as we were covered by the trees. We all had a great day which we all enjoyed, stopping off on the way home for our usual ice cream.

Chinese language day draws 450 An annual cultural day held in Cambridge, timed to coincide with New Zealand Chinese Language Week last week, attracted 450 school students Almost 900 students are learning Mandarin as part of Cambridge Fusion, a cluster of seven schools who have worked together for four years to develop a Mandrin language learning pathway starting at primary school level.

The teachers and students in the cluster schools are supported

by Mandarin Language Assistants, Yue Xing and Aaila Chang.

They are postgraduate students from Beijing Normal University who are spending a year in New Zealand as part of an exchange programme organised by the Confucius Institute at the University of Auckland.

Guest speaker Mei Law, education advisor for the Asia New Zealand Foundation, discussed the importance of Asia and the value of learning Mandarin.

Caitlyn Poole, who grew up on a dairy farm in Te Awamutu, and received a Prime Minister’s Award for Asia in 2018 to study at Chengdu University in China, told students about her experiences of living and working in China and how she wished she had been given the opportunity to learn Mandarin at school.

FAITH IN CAMBRIDGE

The wind blows… and it’s gone

Let Tiles Make Your Statement

with JOHNATHAN RUTHVEN Over the last couple of weeks, I have been admiring the soft pink hued cherry blossoms on the cherry trees around Cambridge.

It is a beautiful way to herald the coming of spring.

While many New Zealanders appreciate cherry blossoms for their beauty, we don’t tend to venerate them to the same extent as the Japanese. Even their rugby team is named after the little flower.

In Japan the cherry blossom has become almost a religious symbol representing the fragility and the beauty of life. It is visual and metaphorical reminder that life is overwhelmingly beautiful, but it is also tragically short.

So, when Japanese people come together to view the cherry blossom trees and marvel at their beauty, they aren’t just thinking about the flowers, but also about the larger meaning and deep cultural tradition behind the cherry blossom that reaches back nearly a 1000 years.

While Christians don’t

specifically attribute religious or cultural significance to blossoms, many of the writers in the Bible do refer to flowers to illustrate the fleeting or transient nature of life. For example in Psalm 103, which is a popular verse used at funerals, the Psalmist says, “As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him; for he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust.

The life of mortals is like grass, they flourish like a flower of the field; the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more.”

However these writers, unlike in Japanese culture, don’t invite the listener to see the shortness of our bloom as something beautiful and worthy of praise in itself (although all human life is precious because we are made in the image of God), but rather we should take note of its shortness and should marvel that an eternal, everlasting God

should be mindful of something so insignificant that is like a flower - here one moment and gone the next.

While this may seem nonsensical on God’s part, Jesus confirms this is indeed the case in Matthew chapter 10 when he says, “are not two sparrows sold for a few cents, yet not one them falls to the ground outside your father’s care. And even the hairs on your head are numbered. So don’t be afraid you are worth more than two sparrows.” If God knows even the hairs on our heads, it’s safe to assume he also knows every blossom that falls, and he says, “if I care for these be reassured I care for you”.

So next time we see a tree in blossom we should not only stop to admire its fleeting surreal beauty but be encouraged that we have such a great and loving God that cares for us, notwithstanding the shortness and beauty of our bloom.

Back to school for cyclists

There was more than one reason to smile on the last day of term for the children of Cambridge Primary School last Friday when they were visited by two World Championship medal winning cyclists, Tom Sexton and Campbell Stewart.

The two Cambridge-based cyclists ride for the Vantage New Zealand men’s endurance team and visited the school to promote cycling and sport in general, ahead of the upcoming track cycling season which begins in October.

The pair joined in the fun at Cambridge Primary’s tabloid sports day, playing with parachutes, doing team relays and competing in a tug of war competition.

The students were excited to have professional athletes take time out from training to come and visit them and try out different games and sports that they normally wouldn’t do.

Six-year-old Harper Laurenson said having the riders there was “really fun” and that the best part was having Stewart, the omnium World Champion, help her with the parachute game. The funniest part was watching “the big bike riders playing cat and rat and chasing each other.”

While it has been a few years since Sexton and Stewart were at primary school, the return to their playground days was met with enthusiasm, and of course, a healthy competitive spirit.

“It was great to get amongst the sports day with the kids at Cambridge Primary. Getting involved in the fun and games is quite different to what we normally do, so it was good to mix it up and show the kids how fun sport can be,” said Stewart.

The children will get the opportunity to watch the “big bike riders” in action in December, when an international field of top-class riders arrive in Cambridge to con-

test the UCI Track Cycling World Cup at the Avantidrome.

World championship bronze medallist Sexton is hoping for a repeat of the New Zealand team effort from the January event where sell-out crowds saw New Zealand win five gold and two bronze medals.

“January was so awesome, having the home crowd behind us just made it so special. The whole squad is buzzing for December and we hope that our visit today has inspired some of the kids at Cambridge Primary to come and watch us,” said Sexton.

“Hopefully some of them will take up cycling and we’ll see them on the track in years to come.”

The UCI Track Cycling World Cup is on at the Avantidrome from December 6-8.

Tickets to the event can be purchased on the Ticketek website. For more information, visit www.trackworldcup.nz.

The group of volunteers working on Cambridge’s entry into the Keep New Zealand Beautiful Awards for “Most Beautiful Town” have been hard at work over the past week, putting together a 90 second video as part of the awards process.

Philip Coles, coordinator of the Keep Cambridge Beautiful group which was set up to facilitate the entry process and help “beautify” the town, said the video was all about showcasing “the beauty of Cambridge and its people”.

“The ‘people’ part is why we were runners up last time, we didn’t show our people,” he said. “So this time we’ve got more of a focus on the people. Arguably we are the most beautiful town the country, and it’s more

than just the beautiful trees and parks, it’s the people.”

Six people have joined the Keep Cambridge Beautiful group, which has spent the last few days visiting Cambridge’s good-sorts, like members of the Cambridge Tree Trust at their Thornton Rd nursery, Cambridge Community Garden volunteers, and businesses which create their product locally like Over the Moon Deli and Wholly Cow butchery.

“We’re just getting a 10 or 15 second snippet from everybody,” said Coles. “Every town is slightly different, and we’re trying to branch off from what the others are doing.

“For us it’s not just a town of beautiful trees and parks, it’s our people that make it truly special.”

The Keep New Zealand Beautiful Awards will take place in Dunedin on October 24.

Keep Cambridge Beautiful volunteers Miff Macdiarmid from the Cambridge i-SITE and Philip Coles from the Cambridge Community Board were in town on Friday working on a video as part of Cambridge’s awards entry for “Most Beautiful Town”.

Right climate for a giveaway

The Cambridge Tree Trust were out in force last week supporting the Schools Strike 4 Climate events taking place in Cambridge, Hamilton and around the country – by way of handing out free trees for the public.

“We’re just wanting people to put plants in the ground to help the planet,” said Cambridge Tree Trust Chairman Eric Todd.

“We’ve got a lot of trees in the nursery, we just haven’t got the time and the space to plant them all. So we thought we’d give them away.”

It was the second time the Cambridge Tree Trust has run their “Plant for the Planet” free

tree giveaway, having handed out well over 200 trees during the last student strike event in May. The latest sapling handout on Friday last week saw around 180 trees, mainly natives, find new homes. It made for over 500 trees given away in Cambridge this year.

The Tree Trust volunteers said they were right behind the student efforts to take action on climate change, and were just doing their bit to help.

“Obviously the climate is threatened by human development, so it’s just fantastic what they’re doing,” said Todd.

Internationals on show in Cambridge

Football Fern Annalie Longo – who has played 113 international games for New Zealand – will be the star player on show when Cambridge again hosts top women’s football this weekend.

Longo, who is the current national women’s Player of the Year, will lead champions Canterbury United Pride in their National Women’s League match against WaiBOP. The match kicks off at John Kerkhof Park, Vogel St, at noon on Sunday.

Longo became the youngest player to ever represent New Zealand at full international level when she made her debut against China in November 2006, aged 15.

Since then, she’s played at four FIFA Women’s World Cups.

Opposing her on Sunday will be a youthful

WaiBOP squad that includes two teenagers who began their football career as Cambridge juniors.

Grace Wisnewski and Kaylee Oosthuysen played for Cambridge’s U-14 girls team in 2013, as a stepping stone to playing senior football.

Wisnewski, who was only 10 when she played for that youth team, has since become a national U-17 and U-20 international, and was part of the New Zealand team that won bronze at last year’s FIFA U-17 World Cup. Cambridge is hosting six NWL games this year, of which Sunday’s is the third.

Remaining fixtures are: WaiBOP v Capital – Saturday October 26, 1.30pm; WaiBOP v Central – Sunday November 17, 2pm; WaiBOP v Northern Lights – Sunday December 8, 2pm

Meanwhile, Cambridge will again host men’s national league football when Wanderers meet former champions Auckland City in mid-November.

Spectators will see some of the country’s leading players – including full internationals – in a double header between the clubs on Saturday November 16, 2019. The clubs’ youth teams will play at 11am followed by the ISPS Handa Premiership game at 2pm.

This year will be the first that John Kerkhof Park has hosted matches in all three national competitions.

The Wanderers v Auckland City game will see internationals from at least four countries on the pitch including Auckland City’s Myer Bevan (New Zealand), David Browne (Papaua New Guinea), Brian Kaltak (Vanuatu) and

Yousif Ali (Iraq) while Wanderers has prolific goalscorer Tommy Semmy (PNG).

Former Wellington Phoenix midfielder Albert Riera has returned to Auckland City after three seasons in the Hyundai A-League, and will play in front of goalkeeper Enaut Zubikarai Goni who played for Real Sociedad in La Liga and in the UEFA Champions League.

The match will also pitch two All Whites legends against each other.

Wanderers will be coached by Ricki Herbert, who is also Cambridge FC’s Technical Director and oversees the club’s coaching development programme.

Assistant coach for Auckland will be former defender Ivan Vicelich who played more than 100 times for the All Whites, many of them for Herbert.

WaiBOP goes nap in Manawatu goalfest

WaiBOP returned from their first away match of the 2019 National Women's League season with the sweet smell of victory in their nostrils. In a battle involving two teams that had previously failed to get off the mark, WaiBOP took three points from Central after a 5-2 triumph.

Like the other round three matches, there was also plenty of net-bulging in Palmerston North, where WaiBOP became the day’s only side to record a win. The 5-2 scoreline suggests it was comfortable in the end, but the visitors were certainly made to work hard to get there.

WaiBOP’s Grace Wisnewski and Central’s Natalie Olson swapped early goals before Annaliese Heuvel pounced on the stroke of half-time for the visitors to alter the team talks of both coaches.

WaiBOP responded positively to whatever Nico Girard had said, Wisnewski striking again on the hour to give her side a two-goal cushion. In keeping with the dramatic nature of the day, Central got themselves back into the game when Torijan Lyne-Lewis tucked away a penalty with around a quarter of an hour remaining.

Any hopes Central had of completing a stirring comeback soon faded as WaiBOP struck twice in the final ten minutes. There was a second for Heuvel while a late effort from Shannon Trebes made sure of WaiBOP’s first points of the campaign.

In other matches, Southern United and Northern Lights shared ten goals in a 5-5 thriller, while Capital and Auckland Now and then… Grace Wisnewski scores for WaiBOP in Palmerston North last weekend, and is pictured as a promising drew 3-3.

“Racing and representing New Zealand on home turf, with the whole crowd cheering and giving us a standing ovation, is the proudest moment of my cycling career, and I hope to replicate that again in December.”

High Performance Director Martin Barras said racing a World Cup at home will provide an opportunity for more Kiwi riders to get experience at this level.

“In January we had two trade teams compete in the Cambridge event, to great success. This opportunity for our development riders and riders coming through the Subway Performance Hub space to taste competition at this level is priceless for them, and for us as we collect UCI ranking points towards the World Championships and the Olympics.”

The Tissot UCI Track World Cup is likely to attract over 500 competitors, staff, officials and media from over 40 countries.

William goes for glory

Cambridge rider William Pluck will compete in mini motocross nationals near Hastings over the weekend.

Andy McGechan, from BikesportNZ.com says the future of New Zealand motocross will be on show as riders aged four to 11 – riding bikes with engine capacities from 50 to 112cc – battle it out over two days.

William Pluck is expected to challenge Egmont Village rider Travis Taylor in the 9-11 year’s 65cc MX class division. The Cambridge rider won the 7-11 years’ trail bike class last year.

Rapid recovery in Futsal

The 2019 Men’s Futsal Super League began over the weekend for the region’s two teams - the Bay of Plenty Surge and the Waikato Rapids - with a doubleheader at Tauranga’s Trustpower Arena.

There was no such drama on Sunday morning, however. The Rapids racked up the goals to claim a 8-1 victory.

Waikato Lacrosse Girls’ representative teams excelled at the recent New Zealand U15 and U18 National Tournament in Auckland (21-22 September 2019), bringing home both the U15 and U18 National titles. It was an excellent result for the region, and testament to the ongoing U15 and U18 development programme and strong school leagues in the Waikato from which the teams are selected.

Cambridge players featured strongly in all seven Waikato teams – 5 girls’ teams and 2 boys’ teams – which made the trip to the National Tournament, highlighting the depth of lacrosse talent at the local schools.

Players selected for the two U18 girls’ teams from Cambridge High School were Amelia Platje, Heather Kibby, Holly

Courtney, Laura Cannon, Laura Thornton, Michaelee Head, Ashleigh Halse, Emily Harvey, Kate Anderson, and Maddie Shaw, and Harriet McElroy from St Peter’s Cambridge.

And in the three U15 girl’s teams, players selected from Cambridge High School were Alice Taylor, Aishlyn Lawton, Camryn Blair, Deanna Young, Emily Stevens, Emma Harnden-Taylor, Riley Wood, Shea Mikkelsen, Catriona Lamb, Emelia Dobson, Jessica Schuler, Lucy Kibby, Paige Gascoigne, Annika Johns and Molly Hayes, and from St Peter’s Cambridge were Alicia Holman-Evans and India Lang.

Alicia Holman-Evans from St Peter’s earned particular recognition at the tournament for her consistent play by winning the Phillipa Cowper Award for Most Valuable U15 Player.

And four Cambridge players were named as part of the

Tournament Teams, with Laura Thornton (Cambridge High School) and Harriet McElroy (St Peter’s Cambridge) picked for the U18 Tournament Team, and Alicia Holman-Evans (St Peter’s Cambridge) and Aishlyn Lawton (Cambridge High School) picked for the U15 Tournament Team.

On the boys’ side of the tournament, Cambridge High School students Alistair Hearmon, Blake Anderson, and Finlay Pirie were selected for the Waikato U18 team, and Bastiaan Banks, Connor Gould, Cory Watson, Jacob D’Ath, Jayden Prinsloo, Jo Brown, Micheal Paintin, Sam Snape, and Sean Wiremu Hapi were selected for the U15 team.

Two Waikato girls’ U15 teams have since travelled to Adelaide to compete in the Australian U15 Boys and Girls Nationals Tournament which takes place this week (29 September to 5 October).

Cambridge Mini Hockey has concluded the season having had 52 teams and 444 children take part this year.

Run on Friday afternoons at St Peters School, the season included an umpiring pool organised by St Peter’s students as part of their study. There were two pools in the Year 3/4 division and three pools in the Year 5/6 division, as well as a “funsticks” programme for preschool children and Year 1 and 2 students. We are grateful to the school and students for their support.

As the season culminated in the finals round, the competition was close. We ran into extra time in the semi-finals, had a few draws and in some instances had to go back to the goal differ-

a tight fought battle and the CPS Chiefs won by one goal over the Leamington Blue Socks to take the Judy Hoffman trophy.

The trophies were donated by local families and it was a great thrill to be able to award these on finals night.

FRIDAY OCTOBER 4, 2019

Welcome change of luck for Campbell

Andrew Campbell is hoping Peloton’s win at Te Rapa last week is the start of a well-overdue change of luck for his Cambridge stable.

Campbell has suffered a series of major setbacks since shifting to Cambridge just under two years ago after a highly successful innings during his 23 years in Opaki, a period in which he enjoyed highlights with such stakes winners as dual Group One winner and subsequent prominent sire Tavistock, Werther, Waldorf, Bob’s Boy and Longchamp.

“It’s been a case of one thing after another going wrong,” Campbell said. “I had two viruses go through the stables and in the end the only way was to tip the horses out.

“It’s been so frustrating, but I’m very fortunate to have very loyal owners stick by me. Tommy (Heptinstall) and the boys have been so supportive.

“When I first shifted up I couldn’t have wished for a better start with Gobstopper winning the New Zealand Cup (Gr.3, 3200m) at Riccarton as my first starter, but then everything went wrong.

“It’s been such a frustrating time, but hopefully we’re back on track. I’ve got 10 in work and they’re a lovely young team of horses showing a lot of promise.”

Campbell struggled through last season with two winners in New Zealand, the second one being Gobstopper in a maiden hurdle at Te Aroha. He then took Gobstopper to Victoria and the son of Tavistock won first-up over hurdles at Pakenham before he pulled up distressed in the Grand National Hurdles (4200m) at Sandown.

“He got the thumps, a heart murmur, but he soon got over it,” Campbell said. “He’s now with Eric Musgrove and he’ll try his luck over there.”

Back on the local scene Campbell has

had just three starters and Peloton, a son of Charm Spirit, became his first winner for the new season as he took a possible step toward the Gr.1 Al Basti Equiworld New Zealand 2000 Guineas (1600m) at Riccarton on November 9 with his fresh-up win over 1400m last week.

“We bought the mare (Epicurean) in foal to go to Tavistock and he’s the foal,” Campbell said. “He’s a big staying horse and I’ll put him over 1600m next start at Te Rapa on Friday.

“That’ll show whether he’s up to going down for the 2000 Guineas or he wants more ground already. If he wants to go further, I’ll put him aside and set him for the New Zealand Derby (Gr.1, 2400m) in March. That looks the main race for him.”

Campbell also has Pimlico nominated for the New Zealand 2000 Guineas and the son of Proisir has shaped well at the trials with three wins from five appearances, including a decisive win at the Cambridge trials last week.

“He’ll go to either Te Rapa or Waverley first-up and if he wins there he’ll probably go on for the Sarten Memorial (Gr.2, 1400m) at Te Rapa,” Campbell said. “He’d have to be competitive in that to go down to Riccarton, but at this stage he’s definitely in contention.”

Campbell did have Aqueduct, a son of Dundeel, also among the original entries for the 2000 Guineas.

“He’s had two trials and ran second last Monday, but he’s not as forward as the other two, Peloton and Pimlico,” Campbell said. “He could also go to either Te Rapa or Waverley.”

Campbell trialled seven horses at Cambridge last week, including four two-yearolds. Among them was a Darci Brahma – Astuto gelding who won his 800m heat by

a length.

“The Darci Brahma came through it super and he might go down to my old stomping ground for a two-year-old race at Wairarapa,” Campbell said. “I’m trying to win the Karaka Million (Listed, 1200m). It’s a race I really want to win and I’ll probably be setting three of those that trialled last week for it.”

The other two Karaka Million hopefuls

are a Smart Missile gelding and a Ferlax colt who clashed in another two-year-old 800m heat. The Smart Missile youngster finished closest when fourth.

“I really like them both,” Campbell said.

“They’ll trial up again.

“The Star Witness colt is the other twoyear-old I trialled, but he only went around for a bit of education. He will be gelded and go out for a spell.”

FRIDAY OCTOBER 4, 2019

Busuttin and Young enjoy big weekend It has been a huge weekend for former Kiwi trainers Trent Busuttin and Natalie Young as they target some of the major spoils on the Melbourne Spring Carnival.

The Cranbourne-based couple picked up four wins, including a Group Two double, and welcomed the arrival of their English import Mirage Dancer, who holds nominations for the Gr.1 Caulfield Cup (2400m), Gr.1 Cox Plate (2040m) and Gr.1 Melbourne Cup (3200m).

“It was a pretty epic weekend with two Group Twos,” Young said. “The only one disappointed was our son Ben because I promised him an Xbox if we win a Group One.” The Group Two wins of The Holy One in last Friday’s Bill Stutt Stakes (1600m) at Moonee Valley and Acting in Sunday’s Thousand Guineas Prelude (1400m) at Caulfield has put the pair on target for Group One assignments on October 12 with The Holy One to tackle the Caulfield Guineas (1600m) and Acting a late nomination for the One Thousand Guineas (1600m).

And a week later, all going to plan, they will be chasing Group One glory in the Caulfield Cup (2400m) with Mirage Dancer, a Group Three winning son of Frankel who is to be raced by a syndicate formed by Busuttin and prominent bloodstock agent Mark Pilkington.

“Trent and Mark looked him over in England and after buying him he transferred from Sir Michael Stoute’s stable to Jane Chapple-Hyam, who has been looking after him for us,” Young said.

“He arrived on Saturday in brilliant order and we’re thrilled with him. His track rider came over with him and Brendon (Hawtin) is looking after him in quarantine for two weeks.

“He’s due out on October 12 and hopeful-

Acting, winner of the Thousand Guineas Prelude (1400m) at Caulfield last Sunday.

ly he can run a week later in the Caulfield Cup. He’s already guaranteed a start and is number six on the list with 56kgs. We’ve booked Ben Melham to ride him.”

Mirage Dancer has four wins and eight placings from 16 starts and has been Group Two and Group Three placed in last three starts since winning the Listed Tapster Stakes 2414m at Goodwood last May. His latest start was when second in the Gr.3 Glorious Stakes (2412m), which he won last year after finishing second to Best Solution in Gr 2 Princess Wales Stakes (2414m) at Newmarket.

“We’re excited to have a horse already guaranteed a start in the Caulfield Cup,” Young said. “It’ll be 10 weeks since his last run and if we feel he’s not ready for the Caulfield Cup he can wait for the Cox Plate then onto the Melbourne Cup.”

Flavours

Bowled over

It’s ironic that we’ve come full circle. We start our lives eating or being fed from a bowl. And after years of designer food served on flat plates, there are now sections on restaurant menus dedicated to ‘bowl food’. Even Lonely Planet has published a book on the subject — The World’s Best Bowl Food.

It is believed that the trend started in New York where time-poor hungry workers wanted healthy salads they could devour easily with a fork. Power bowls and Buddha bowls hit the mark.

Both feature superfoods such as quinoa, barley, raw and roasted or grilled vegetables, chopped nuts, cooked dried beans, raw vegetables and sometimes meat. The popularity of bowl food is such that it now includes ethnic dishes from around the world: curry, Tex-Mex and Vietnamese pho bowls.

So where did the name Buddha bowl originate? According to one source, Buddhists believed that it’s not what you eat but when you eat, and walked the streets early each morning carrying a bowl.

Villagers donated a little of whatever they could afford which was mainly raw food and vegetarian. Hence the respect for Buddha bowls from vegans and vegetarians alike. These bowls provide a balance to life — and the other fast foods so readily available.

In other words, it’s a salad bowl. But instead of tossing all the ingredients together, they are generally neatly piled side-by-side and drizzled with a tasty dressing – and this, in my view, is a very necessary ingredient for many of the bowls on offer.

BUDDHA BOWL Use whatever fresh vegetables or nuts you have in your fridge.

4 small carrots 1/4 head cauliflower 3 tablespoons olive oil 2 teaspoons ground cumin salt and pepper to taste 100g Mediterranean falafel mix 1 cup red cabbage slaw 1-2 cups baby spinach leaves 1/4 cup chopped oven-roasted almonds Dressing: 2 tablespoons lemon juice

While thrilled to have Mirage Dancer in the team, Young is also very excited in the prospects of Acting, a daughter of Savabeel bred by Waikato Stud and raced by Garry and Mark Chittick.

Acting completed a hat trick of wins with her victory in the One Thousand Guineas Prelude and received plaudits from winning rider Tommy Berry.

“Tommy said she has got the best temperament and he could have done anything with her,” Young said.

“It doesn’t look like the 1600m of the 1000 Guineas will worry her, but we have to find a new rider with Tommy being suspended.”

Busuttin and Young are also looking forward to The Holy One, a winner of three of his five starts, contesting the Caulfield Guineas.

“It’s all about him being a colt and the

Caulfield Guineas being a stallion-making race,” Young said. “He’s surprised us a bit.

Being by Tavistock out of a Pentire mare, we thought he might take a bit more time.

“All going well he’ll press on for the Victoria Derby (Gr.1, 2500m).

“We’ve also got plenty for the Australian Derby (Gr.1, 2400m) in Sydney in the autumn and we’ve got a strong bunch of fillies.

“Acting is the best, but we’ve also got I Am Eloquent (by I am Invincible), who was a stakes winner last start in the Jim Moloney Stakes (Listed, 1400m) at Caulfield, and Leven Lass, who is on an Oaks path.”

Leven Lass (by Reliable Man) won a maiden 1400m and in her fifth start last Saturday week she was third over 1600m at Caulfield.

She is likely to start in the Gr.2 Edward Manifold Stakes (1600m) on Saturday as a lead-up to the Gr.1 Victoria Oaks (2500m) on November 7.

Busuttin and Young are also hoping to sneak Sully, runner-up in the 2017 Gr.1 Victoria Derby (2500m), into the Caulfield Cup after his close second in last Friday night’s Gr.3 JRA Cup (2400m) at Moonee Valley.

“I was hoping it was a deadheat for first,” Young said. “He keeps running second and we’re going to change a few things with him.

“He will go to the Herbert Power Stakes (Gr.2, 2400m) at Caulfield in a fortnight and try and get him a free ticket into the Caulfield Cup.” Since shifting from Cambridge to Cranbourne in 2016, Busuttin and Young have been steadily building their profile in Australia and finished last season with 80 wins and the most city wins by a Cranbourne stable.

“We had a few quiet months mid-season when we had the babies in and were sorting them out,” Young said. “We only had five or six up and racing, but we picked up again.”

Cambridge’s Maioro Barton and the Waikato A team won the National Wheelchair Basketball Champs last weekend.

Picture – Kiefer Davies.

Maioro Barton has returned to the court better than ever after breaking his hand during the Whangarei round of the Northern League Wheelchair Basketball Champs in June.

The Cambridge basketballer played on for a game and a half with a broken metacarpal bone, securing his team’s place at Nationals.

He had just four weeks to prepare for the national championships once he was allowed back on court, but his hard work paid off when the Waikato A team won the competition overall, and won every game in the process.

“It was so good to be back playing on the court after breaking my hand,” Maioro said.

“My physio told me that I probably did more damage to my initial injury because I continued playing the game with it broken.

“I had to be smart with my training so that

I didn’t injure myself again, but still push myself hard enough so that I could be ready for Nationals.”

After five weeks of limited, controlled training, Maioro received the all-clear to return to training with his team in late August.

“I still had to wear a brace on my hand still to protect it because the X-rays showed it hadn’t fully healed yet,” he said. “The initial healing was a tough time for me because I was unable to do any physical activity, I even struggled to wheel myself up hills. For someone who is usually so active with training and being out and about it was really tough mentally.

“It was so awesome to be back on the court again doing what I love to do.”

Barton played every minute of the final, which saw Waikato beat Auckland A 48-33.

WAIKATO’S BEST EV EXPERIENCE EV OF THE WEEK

EV MYTH BUSTING MYTH:

Can’t charge in rain

TOTALLY BUSTED

2016 NISSAN E-NV200 $29,995 ELECTRIC VAN travelled just 7000km

Yes you can. Ideally you’ll install a weatherproof charger or power outlet in your driveway. But even if you use a cable running through a window to a 240v outlet, you can charge in the rain. Just don’t let any water run down into the 3-pin socket. The other end, which plugs into your car is totally safe at home or at a public charger. Your can also charge at a public station in an electrical storm.

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.

FRIDAY OCTOBER 4, 2019

Movies MOSLEY

Poignant animated NZ film mosley will stand upright and proud this school holidays To save his family, Mosley, must embark on an epic journey to find the legendary Uprights but what he unexpectedly finds will unlock a secret revealing his true nature. With large and layered themes, Mosley tells a timeless adventurous tale of family, love and hope.

Mosley brings together New Zealand’s loved

artists for this heat-warming tale, featuring our own comic genius Rhys Darby as the voice of the hilarious, loud and kind Deaver. Celebrated actress Lucy Lawless is the talent behind the strong and compassionate character Bera - a mother, a quiet leader and encourager. John Rhys Davies lends his unmistakeable booming voice to the stern but courageous Warnie and the one and only Temuera Morrison is the brutal broody villain Warfield.

Kirby Atkins, Mosley director, says, “Making the film in Snells Beach was an absolute joy. New Zealand is an awe-inspiring country and the artists here are masters in their craft.

I’m proud to have become a Kiwi myself and would love to continue making films here in the future.”

“Mosley is a unique family film with a heart-warming story, standing up for what you believe in is a theme New Zealanders can really relate to, particularly poignant this year - we are thrilled to be bringing this film to New Zealand audiences, it is a very special film indeed.” Kelly Rogers CEO Rialto Distribution.

Netballer to represent NZ

By Sophie Iremonger

A registered nurse in Cambridge has made it onto a New Zealand representative team after a dominant performance at the 2019 New Zealand Men’s Netball Nationals.

A slightly unorthodox sport for men, Dylan Moore got into competitive netball during his studies in 2015 in Invercargill, having initially tried netball at primary school.

Since then he’s made it onto the Southland regional team and now the New Zealand men’s under 23 team, and says the sport isn’t quite what you’d think it is.

“For men it’s probably just as physical as basketball, but there’s a lot more thinking that goes into it and it’s a lot more tactical,” he said.

The 22-year-old hopes to encourage more men into the game.

“I think it’s really about removing the stigma around male and female sports, and growing the sport. And it’s really growing.

“It’s not yet as recognised internationally, but in New Zealand men’s netball is gaining a lot of momentum.”

Now a Cambridge resident and a registered nurse at Waikato Hospital, Moore represented his home region of Southland at the New Zealand Men’s Nationals last month.

Though his team placed fifth (with Waikato first), a scout for the national team took note of his dominant performance and it ultimately led to his spot on the national squad.

“It was a really good tournament, probably the best I’ve ever had,” he said, adding that he was ready for the challenge of representing New Zealand at the Men’s and Mixed Netball World Cup in October 2020.

“I’m just looking forward to showing that we can really perform on the international stage,” he said.

Though Dylan will only play other men’s teams, the tournament in Perth will also feature mixed teams where men and women play together – an unusual setting which Dylan himself played in at the mixed nationals earlier this year.

“It’s a real mixed bag,” he said. “Mixed teams are very clever and everyone brings a different component of skill.

The men tend to play faster and can jump a lot higher, whereas the girls are much more cleaver and quick. So with mixed teams it works really well.”

and training for the world champs, the Balfour native still makes time to play locally each week at the Cambridge High School gym.

He hopes men interested in trying a new sport might just give netball a go.

“For us it’s about growing the sport and making it not-so unorthodox, and getting lots of other people involved.

The more we see men playing netball the more you’re going to see the likes of builders and men from all different background playing the sport.

“It’s just about getting involved and playing sport.”

Dylan hopes to see guys of all ages come and try the game on Thursday nights at Cambridge High School. To find out more they can also visit the New Zealand Men’s & Mixed Netball Association website.

“It’s different, it’s exciting and it’s new. If you enjoy a challenge, definitely give it a go.”

FRIDAY OCTOBER 4, 2019

Southland netballer and registered nurse Dylan Moore, who now calls Cambridge home, will represent New Zealand at the Men’s and Mixed Netball World Cup in October 2020.
