Going off with a bang

The weather didn’t quite play its part, but the annual Armistice in Cambridge event at Mighty River Domain was certainly a Saturday winner when about 2500 people flocked to the Domain for the spectacular. Rain on Sunday discouraged the crowds and by 11am the lowering of the flag signalled an end to the event. See Sophie Iremonger’s report and Michael Jeans’ pictures from the commemoration on Pages 6 and 7.

Christmas cheer collections gather momentum

People keen to donate gifts and money to needy families through this year’s ‘Christmas Cheer’ initiative can drop off their donations at three collection points this year.

The three sites are the Salvation Army HQ, 27 Williamson St (Mon-Thur 10am2pm); Cambridge Community House, 193 Shakespeare St (Mon-Fri 9am-12, 12.30pm-4pm); and Cambridge i-SITE at the Cambridge Town Hall (Mon-Fri 9am-5pm, Sat-Sun 10am-4pm).

Collections will be sorted and displayed in a ‘Christmas Grotto’ at the Salvation Army hall; parents will then come at a prearranged time to select gifts for their children. Families will also

receive grocery support towards a Christmas meal.

Now into its third year, the annual programme is organised by the Cambridge Committee of Social Services (CCOSS), a group of local social agencies and community groups.

Swelling their ranks are Cambridge churches, the Lions, Cambridge Community House, Cambridge Marae, Age Concern, Citizens Advice Bureau, and Work and Income. Members of CCOSS work together and pool their resources to run Christmas Cheer in order to help local families enjoy a festive Christmas Day. More than 70 families received Christmas Cheer last year, which

included presents for the children and Christmas dinner supplies.

CCOSS chairperson Julie Epps said the call was once again for new, not second-hand, toys for babies and children up to the age of 17 – preferably unwrapped.

Gifts for teenagers remain a challenging area for many donors, she said, suggesting that toiletries, towels and sports gear are always welcome options.

Other general ideas for donation include tinned foodstuffs, packet foods and pet food, stationery items, Christmas decorations, wrapping paper and Sellotape.

A ‘Reverse Advent’ is being suggested for local businesses, where a variety of gifts and

donations is brought into the workplace by staff over a set time frame. Organisers say around 10 days is ideal for average sized businesses (perhaps December 2 to 13), with gifts filling a specified ‘drop-off’ area in the office.

Those choosing to run a ‘Reverse Advent’ at their workplace can contact the Salvation Army before December 13 to have their donations collected. Alternatively, they can drop them off at one of the three official Christmas Cheer collection sites.

Donated foods should be non-perishable, while financial donations will allow CCOSS to purchase items that will plug any gaps in the donations.

more than 20 years. It traditionally donates its seasonal takings to community groups who are selected following an application process.

Last year, the Society donated $25,000 to Cambridge Middle School for their Pod Cast Station project; Octopus for a Preemie NZ; Cambridge Community Gardens; Kids in Need Waikato; Operation Coverup (Cambridge branch); Sailability Waikato Trust; Cambridge Parents Centre; Thornton Club; Cambridge Community House Trust; Cambridge Disabled Sheltered Workshop Achievement House; True Colours Children’s Health Trust; and Cambridge

Heritage Charitable Trust. A donation was also made to the Blind Foundation.

Society president Deb Robinson said the theme for this year’s festival was This is Cambridge.

“We’ll be decorating a lot of trees with some sort of connection to Cambridge. There will be a Cambridge Tree, a Maungatautari Tree, a Bihoro Tree and Le Quesnoy Tree, a Sports Tree, a Café Tree and a Dinosaur Tree for the kids.”

The group will start moving into the hall on November 24 in preparation for a November 29 opening to the public. It will run until December 17.

After nine months of toil, tea and chatter, members of the Cambridge Christmas Festival Society are getting ready to move their festive crafts into the town hall at the end of the month.

Between 30 and 40 of them have been meeting in the Cambridge Brass Band rooms in Vogel St almost every Tuesday since late February, making hundreds of items to hang on trees and sell in the Christmas Festival shop.

Tamahere crossing on the cards

CAMBRIDGE NEWS | 3

FRIDAY NOVEMBER 15, 2019

By Sophie Iremonger

Walking and biking to and from the Tamahere community centre is set to become a lot safer with the NZTA announcing last week it would go ahead with a $4.4 million project to build an underpass across Airport Rd, SH21.

It’s a timely addition with a growing Tamahere population and an increasing number of commuters travelling to the area each day – attracted to the community hub, or attending Tamahere Model Country School. It’s also where the bus stop is located for all Tamahere students who attend Berkley Middle and Hillcrest High schools.

“We’re the centre of everybody going everywhere, so it’s not just about us. It’s right through the whole community, and they’ve got to get home safely,” said Tamahere School principal Waveney Parker.

“That will be a real positive in terms of getting across the road, we’re really pleased,” she said of the Airport Rd underpass construction project, which

will be underway by the second half of next year, near the park to the north of Wiremu Tamihana Drive.

“Now the next thing for us will be the other main part of connectivity – getting across from the other side of the expressway.”

She said while the Tamahere/Matangi turnoffs underneath State Highway 1 were safer to use than the expressway itself, it still wasn’t safe for walkers and bikers travelling across from the western side of the road.

“At the moment not many students (walk or bike to school), because it’s too dangerous.”

The NZTA recently conducted a vulnerable users survey in response to community concerns about getting across the road from the west to the eastern side of the community – where students get to school and families do their shopping.

NZTA’s Acting Director of Regional Relationships Ross l’Anson said it was yet to be analysed, and the details and parameters of the proposed

project would be sent to the Tamahere Community Committee for review.

“Further work with NZTA and Waikato District Council is continuing, this puzzle has several pieces and all need to work together to achieve the best outcome for our community,” committee chairperson Sue Robertson said.

Daniel Barry, a Year 6 Tamahere School student and afterschool roadpatroller – one of the students manning the crossing outside the school, said it would be really cool to have the Airport Rd underpass in place, and even better to get the expressway crossing underway.

“That will be way better,” he said. “A lot of my friends live that way, everyone lives down there.”

He usually got a car ride to school, but with a safe crossing in place, “Mum would probably let me bike,” he said.

Meanwhile, construction of a roundabout is set to begin next month at the intersection of Hanlin and Cambridge roads.

Tamahere School road patroller Daniel Barry was glad crossing Airport Road would become a lot safer, and hoped the same would happen for SH1.

Rare aviation project to raise funds

By Viv Posselt

Details of an exciting new project with an aviation theme will be aired at the upcoming Resthaven Foundation’s Christmas Buffet.

Speaking at the November 29 event will be Melanie Salisbury of Tauranga-based Aviation Tours NZ. She will talk about The Poppy Flight, a project launched on November 11 Armistice Day and running through to ANZAC Day on March 25, aimed at raising funds in support of the RSA, Starship Hospital and New Zealand Warbirds.

The Poppy Flight is intended to bring together remembrance and hope for the future by encouraging people to think about those who fought for freedom and those needing support today. Melanie said the Aviation Tours fundraising

project would not be possible without NZ Warbirds, and its association with The Poppy Flight serves to keep the country’s aviation history alive.

Over three weeks in March, The Poppy Flight will carry a poppy and a star around New Zealand, collecting donations on the way.

More details on the project will be revealed at the Resthaven Foundation Christmas Buffet. That is being held at Lyceum House in Cambridge from 12.30pm on Friday November 29. The cost is $30 per person, with payment on the day – but bookings are essential and should be before November 26. Phone Emma on 827 6097 or email admin@ resthaven.org.nz.

Proceeds from the buffet will go to the Resthaven Foundation.

Trust links blossom

The relationship between the landowners at Maungatautari, 4GIV Trust and Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari will further strengthen when a carving at the entrance to their land is unveiled tomorrow.

The celebrations will include the release of a kiwi into the forest of 4GIV Trust land.

Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari’s CEO, Phil Lyons says the celebration is a culmination of the excellent working relationship achieved between the two

parties in the last year.

“We are excited at the prospect of future ventures with 4GIV Trust and look forward to their development”.

The working relationship between the parties is building with talks of a joint tourism venture being investigated.

An agreement reached earlier this year permits access for Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari tour groups, educational groups and tour guides through 4GIV Melanie Salisbury’s Aviation Tours NZ launched The Poppy Flight fundraising project on Armistice Day. Trust land.

A banker’s tale – Bosnian style Cash boost for

By Viv Posselt

Trying to drag a post-war Bosnian banking system into the modern era was every bit as frustrating and satisfying as Cambridge’s Peter Nicholl had been told to expect.

Dealing with bankers and politicians made deeply suspicious by war, the international banker says if he had known earlier what he was letting himself in for, he “probably wouldn’t have accepted the position”.

Nicholl was governor of the Central Bank of Bosnia and Herzegovina from 1997 to 2004.

He told his story this month to a gathering of Cambridge Lyceum Club members, splicing it with tales of unfathomable confusion spawned by multiple banking and currency systems, banknotes with 13 zeroes on them and a daily inflation rate of over 30 per cent.

At the end of it all, Nicholl was hailed as a hero… stopped in the street, thanked by strangers and given a rock star welcome at an international rugby game in Sarajevo. His legacy is a central bank in Bosnia that works well.

Nicholl’s roots are in Cambridge.

He attended school in Cambridge and played rugby and cricket for Cambridge and Hamilton,

then spent five years working on his dad’s dairy farm on a then undeveloped St Kilda Rd before going off to study economics.

“I studied part-time while working, then joined the Reserve Bank of New Zealand when I was 27,” he said. After 22 years there, ending up as deputy governor, he went to the US to take up a role as executive director with the World Bank Group in Washington DC. “I had been there for only three weeks when I was asked if I would be interested in being governor of a central bank. They didn’t say where to start with. Turned out it was Bosnia, and it was about two years after the war had ended there.”

Nicholl inherited a parliamentary and banking system split into three, representing Croatia, Serbia and Bosnia.

No-one from those areas, or any neighbouring countries, could be the first governor of the central bank – Nicholl’s Kiwi roots were considered suitably distant and his neutral standing meant he was the perfect foil for their differences.

“When I arrived the Bosnian banking system was a mess. They couldn’t agree on anything. There had to be three of everything … they wouldn’t speak

Autumn festival

Peter Nicholl, the international banker who turned Bosnia’s banking system around, and Cambridge Lyceum president, Dianne Murdoch.

to each other, but they’d speak to me,” he recalled.

“Essentially, they were shifting from a communist/ socialist system to a western capitalist economy.

They had to ‘unlearn’ communiststyle economics and start again, but because of the war nobody trusted anybody.

Some issues were enormously complicated.”

The central bank building was scarred with the marks of mortar shells and bullets, and he was offered, but declined, a private security guard.

Despite the difficulties, Nicholl and his economist wife Glynyss, felt safe. He forged sound relationships

and the couple was given Bosnian citizenship, principally to ensure he could stay on as the central bank governor once his contract ended. By then, he had trained his successor and felt confident in pulling back.

Nicholl was awarded a Queen’s Service Order (QSO) in 2006 for his work in Bosnia.

He and his family returned to New Zealand in 2015 and for the past couple of years have lived in Cambridge. He still travels to the region from time to time and finds himself fielding requests from other countries keen to bring him on board to help with their banking woes.

Next year’s Cambridge Autumn Festival is among 11 initiatives to receive funding in the latest round of the Creative Communities Scheme.

The festival, from March 26 to April 5, is an annual 10day autumn celebration of performing and visual arts and received the biggest individual sum, $7000.

A mural project, a dance workshop, and a free play for children are also among the recipients.

The Cambridge Scottish Country Dancers and Cambridge Society of Arts have also benefitted.

The Creative Communities Scheme is a partnership between Creative New Zealand and Waipa District Council and supports community arts projects that promote and foster creativity.

Kihikihi School has also been rewarded – to the tune of $4500 - for a project to beautify the school grounds.

Project Muralise will see students and artists create murals inspired by the values of the school.

Students will be involved in artwork development and completion and whānau will be invited to participate.

Teacher Erin Keremeta-Kapa said the project would promote the arts and give children a sense of pride in their school environment.

“We believe that we can make a difference to the future of our rangatahi by providing a chance to talk with, collaborate with, and learn from local artists who have chosen this path.”

Creative Communities Scheme funding can cover materials for arts activities, workshops, venue or equipment hire, promotion of arts activities and more.

Each project should focus on at least one of the scheme’s three criteria: access and participation, diversity or young people. Grants usually range between $200 and $2000.

The latest recipients were: Te Awamutu Little Theatre (Children’s Day Free Play 2020) $750; Cambridge Autumn Festival Trust (Cambridge Autumn Festival) $6,884; Cambridge Society of Arts (Open Studio Art Tour) $3000; Cambridge Society of Arts (Art exhibition) $1258; Te Awamutu Creative Fibre (Something 4 Everyone) $1200; Cambridge Scottish (Country Dance Society Beginners & Young Dancers Workshop) $902; Kihikihi Primary School (Project Muralise) $4500; Burty Bedeux (Camfest) $1000; Te Awamutu Free Concert in the Park (Shakespeare in the Park 2020) $750; Rosebank Art Centre Charitable Trust (Rosebank Art Centre Workshop) $230; Rosebank Art Centre Charitable Trust (Chalk Pastels/Acrylic Workshop) $490.00.

Armistice in Cambridge…in pictures

By Sophie Iremonger

It was a mixed bag for the Armistice in Cambridge event at Karapiro over the weekend, with beautiful weather welcoming 2000 people through the gate on Saturday for the 20th annual event.

Then there was a mid-morning cancellation on Sunday due to rain, and a few exhibitors decided to pack up and leave.

But then a shift in the weather attracted a steady stream of visitors throughout the day, enjoying the event free of charge due to the

reduced number of attractions.

“It was the first year we’ve ever had to cancel a day due to weather, in 20 years of the event running, so I think that’s pretty good,” said Paul Watkins, chair of the organising committee of Armistice in Cambridge.

“It was a disappointment for Sunday, but it was still a successful event and next year will be even bigger and better.

“Saturday was extremely successful.

Overall I have to say it was an amazing success.”

Watkins said one of his highlights was the daily artillery barrage – featuring antique guns, mostly WW2 and an 1880s gun, firing blanks out over the lake.

And a free show on Saturday night featured a performance by an 80-strong brass band in front of a 200-strong crowd, with cannons firing during Tchaikovsky’s 1812 overture.

He said the children’s challenge were most popular – they received a custommade Armistice in Cambridge medal for completing seven of 20 available activities.

Some managed 14 and were awarded two medals.

“The medals were an absolute hit, it was quite amazing,” said Watkins, who along with the other organisers handed out well over 600 medals.

He said despite the issues on Sunday, they still covered their expenses. “That’s life, it’s just onwards and upwards to the next one.”

Organisers have already come up with a few themes for next year and will have a meeting later this month to begin planning the next one.

Heart-starter numbers rise

By Sophie Iremonger

Cambridge now has 17 AEDs - automatic external defibrillators - available to the public around the clock.

The latest, outside Wilkinson Transport Engineers, is in a lockbox in the entrance way of the Albert St premises.

Anyone who needs to use it can dial 111, ask for an ambulance, give the location of the AED and the operator will provide a 4 digit code to unlock the box.

Generally, ambulance staff are the best people to use an AED, says Alan Grant from HEARTSafe Cambridge, but because the devices contain

spoken instructions – any bystander to a cardiac arrest can fetch the nearest AED and do their best to save someone’s life.

“If you’re waiting for the ambulance, don’t just do nothing,” said Grant.

“Survival rates are generally only 15 percent, but if someone

having a cardiac arrest can be treated with quality CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) and have an AED applied to their chest within five minutes of the attack, their chances of survival rise dramatically.”

The Carter’s Flat AED is one of 60 AEDs in Cambridge and the surrounding rural

area and all are funded or partially funded through HEARTSafe Cambridge.

Grant said the group had been working over the past few months to add more community AEDs to areas around Cambridge. Six were recently introduced at Karapiro, Piopio, Cambridge

High, St Kilda and St Andrews, in addition to red “AED” street signs to indicate where they are.

The locations of all the AEDs can be found at www. aedlocations.co.nz.

There are plans to add further units at Cambridge Park and Tauwhare.

Parking project Penguin pair are winners underway for busy summer

By Viv Posselt

Two youngsters who have been part of the Cambridge St John Penguin programme for just over seven months have won so many certificates and ribbons they could barely hold them up for a photo.

Anusri, 8, and Atreyan, 6, Ragul joined the programme at the end of March. They worked as a team over the six months that followed, and earlier this month were presented with a raft of certificates and ribbons they won across numerous categories in Penguins competitions held at the end of September.

The smiling siblings were presented with their certificates by Karena Rix, St John Divisional Manager (Cambridge). Karena’s daughter Sarah Rix – who in August received the St John Grand Prior Award from New Zealand Governor General Dame Patsy Reddy - helped train Anusri and Atreyvan.

The siblings won first place ribbons in Improvisation, Communication, and Inspection, and were awarded a second place ribbon for team aggregate. They also won second places in First Aid, Caring, and Fun. Karena Rix said it was an exceptional effort, particularly as the pair had been members of St John Penguins for just two terms.

Penguins comprise the youngest group within St John, catering for children aged six to eight. They work towards badges through a programme focused on fun, adventure and confidence building.

Anusri and Atreyan’s parents were delighted onlookers as

their youngsters were presented with their awards. They said the children thoroughly enjoy their weekly sessions with the group and are learning a lot.

“They always look forward to going,” said mum Tharini Ragul.

Karena Rix said St John Penguins had returned to Cambridge only at the start of this year. “There was a time when we didn’t have the numbers to run Penguins, but we’re back now and growing.”

The Penguins meet across two divisions on a weekly basis – one on Tuesdays, the other on Thursdays.

Work to expand parking space at Waipuke Park began this week, and is expected to be completed by Christmas.

The public will still have access to the Lake Karapiro hotspot with the existing carpark remaining open.

Waipa District Council project delivery manager Lorraine Kendrick said the work – being completed by Civil Construction, is part of a seven year plan by Council to transform the space into a key recreational area for the district.

“Waipuke is a really popular swimming, picnicking and kayaking spot for Waipā residents and their families. The current carpark is at full capacity particularly over the hotter months when people want to go swimming so we’re increasing it to ensure parking is not an issue this summer.”

Located at 953 Maungatautari Road, Waipuke Park opened in 2015 after council purchased the land in 2001. It is available to the public to use throughout summer, from 7am to 9pm, and offers playground and picnic facilities, and a pristine shore line for swimming or kayaking. Dogs are allowed in the area if they are on-lead.

Kendrick said Council had “plenty more plans in place” for future development of the space.

Cambridge Travel Lines School Bus Drivers Wanted Who are we?

I have been with CTL for 14 years, over this period I have seen lots happen, enjoyed all of it. The bonus is having holidays while students have got theirs’s. I can honestly say no 2 days are the same, while being a pensioner, it is nice little job to get you out and about. A lot of friendly people to work with and lots of stories shared – Maureen

Cambridge Travel Lines, the company has celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2018.

1958, the first bus run was in Cambridge, Horahora Primary, south of Karapiro.

The bus was a 1951 Diamond T, Kauri framed bus with a canvas roof, how times have changed!

Now many of our buses are run by computers, with climate control! The founders, Terry and Bev Pidduck, along with Reg Ridley started the company.

Present day, Mike Pidduck and Ivan Julian, run the company.

We have many staff members that have been with us for over three decades.

Whilst the company employs over 60 drivers in the Waikato, our roots are still firmly based in Cambridge. We are still a family orientated company, and consider our staff as part of a team, where any staff member can walk into the manager’s office for a chat.

Why become a school bus driver?

We have found a wide variety of the community enjoy

working part time. Retired, semi-retired, mothers whom children have gone off to school.

People whom full time employment doesn’t suit, people wanting to get back into fulltime employment, and gain a qualification along the way.

Work is flexible, only school terms, typically 7.30-900 am and 3.00-4.30 pm, with opportunities for extra work if wanted, as in school trips, charter work e.g. (Clubs/ organisations wanting to go on outings).

What is needed to be a bus driver?

A class 2 licence and P licence, and to be able to pass a police check, but if you do have something on your record and wonder if you could still pass the Police check, do not let this put you off, please come in and talk it over with us.

You have no experience or the correct licences?

That is fine, we will pay for you to get them, and all the training that is required.

Some thoughts from a couple of our drivers.

Christmas is floating in… Fieldays: by

By Sophie Iremonger

With six weeks until the end of the year Christmas is well and truly in the air.

As shops bring out their Christmas specials and decorations are hung about the town, dozens of Cambridge’s community groups, students, families and colleagues are beginning work on their float entries for the Cambridge Christmas Parade.

The December 1 Cambridge New World-sponsored event will see 50 floats roll through the town centre, this year following a theme of “Christmas around the world”.

“The hardest part is coming up with a Christmas theme that doesn’t involve Santa,” said Kerry Rennie, one of the organisers of the Cambridge Grains float.

“You can only have one Santa.”

The Cambridge Grains team came up with a new theme – elves and reindeer playing hide and seek in the Christmas tree forest. Each year they have a similar group of children and parents featuring, usually numbering around 25 in total – some on a truck float, others walking.

“The best part is that we get to do it every year, because every time Kerry says she’s not going to do it again, but then she does it the next year,” said Mia Ryan, a Leamington School pupil who stars on the float alongside her brother Ryan and fellow Leamington students Charlotte Coutts, Maddi Forbes and Charlotte Rennie.

“Once we’ve made the decision to be in it, it’s always about the kids,” said Kerry.

Most of the features of their float were ready to go, she said, “and we just put it together on the day”.

“We lose half of our garage this time of

year to Christmas stuff.”

The team at St Peter’s Catholic were in a similar boat, doing most of their assembling on the day using a “walking float”, with the 50 or so students taking part dressing up in the “Christmas around the world theme”, along with having their regular feature of every St Peter’s Catholic School Christmas float – the nativity scene, starring Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus.

“Jesus is the reason of the season,” said the school’s parade float coordinator, Monica Williams. “That’s our main point, to remind everyone that it’s Jesus’ birthday.”

Float entries into the Cambridge Christmas Parade are still open, closing next Friday, November 22 at 5pm. Entries can be made through the Cambridge i-SITE.

the numbers

Each visitor to Fieldays at Mystery Creek contributed an average of $4200 to the economy this year.

The figure comes from an economic impact report, by Warren Hughes of the New Zealand Institute for Business Research at Waikato University, which underlines the contribution the Southern Hemisphere’s biggest agricultural expo makes to the regional and national economy.

It showed $549 million in sales revenue for New Zealand firms was generated by the event and $183 million of it went into the Waikato region alone.

Based on the event attendance figures for 2019 of 128,747, it showed that each person though the gate contributes around $4200 to the economy.

What’s more, the figures continue to head north - national sales revenue figures were up more than $50M on 2018.

New Zealand National Fieldays Society General Manager of Commercial Nick Dromgool said it was encouraging to see “such great numbers” in terms of economic contribution, employment and GDP in the report.

“We heard from several of our bigger exhibitors that this was a good year for them so it’s great to have this backed up by the numbers.”

The report said more than 2000 full-year jobs have been sustained in the national economy from the 2019 event including almost 900 jobs specifically in the Waikato region.

A total of $247m of additional GDP was generated for the economy, an increase of $21m from 2018. A total of $80m was also added to Waikato’s GDP. It was estimated that every gate entry resulted in $312 in direct spending in the Waikato hospitality sectors including accommodation, restaurants, bars and retail trade.

The estimated brand value of Fieldays rose $122m to $610m this year.

A twin win …and a twin trim for dad for Takahē

By Sophie Iremonger

Cameras on Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari have revealed a second set of takahē twins, ie two chicks in a single clutch, have hatched there.

The News reported last week that a set of twins had hatched inside the mountain’s southern enclosure – the second lot of twins in two years – along with another takahē hatching inside the mountain’s Coopers enclosure.

After monitoring the two families through hidden cameras, they later learned that the Coopers family had in fact had twins, too.

“This is very rare indeed and fantastic news for takahē recovery,” said Jessica Meade, marketing manager at Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari.

It makes for three sets of takahē twins in two years – quite possibly a record for any ecological reserve.

They are also believed to be the first takahē chicks hatched in New Zealand this season.

Species coordinator Dr Janelle Ward said the chicks were being well-looked after by their takahē parents and older siblings.

“We are taking it day by day and observing by use of cameras rather than disturb the family.”

Footage this week captured the birds feeding their new chicks fresh shoots of grass and food from their feeding stations.

The chicks being fed by their older sister and parents.

Two Cambridge girls are working to eliminate a staple in their dad’s life – his five-year-old beard.

Twins Daisy and Ciara Claridge, 16, are fundraising to go on the Spirit of Adventure youth sea voyage, and the centre of their main fundraising project involves shaving their dad Andrew’s beard.

“Mum’s right behind it too,” they said, finishing each other’s sentences in classic twin fashion as they outline plans for the project.

“The reason behind it is we’re trying to get our Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award, and part of that is doing a ‘residential project’ – five days and four nights away from home without knowing anyone, and the Spirit of Adventure perfectly fits,” Daisy said. “So, we thought that’s a great opportunity.

“To learn team building skills and leadership skills and have fun,” adds Ciara.

“And do something we’ve never done before,” said Daisy, admitting it will be strange seeing their dad without facial hair.

Andrew thinks he shave will make him look younger.

“I’m pretty positive about it really, it is like my ‘comfort blanket’, as I call it, but I’m happy to lose the beard because they get the better out of it, they’re going on an amazing adventure that will give them skills for the rest of their life. Besides, it’s only hair, it will grow back.”

The girls suspect the same solid beard will be back in five years’ time, anyway.

They’ve set up a fundraising page –

Daisy (left) and Ciara (right) Claridge are fundraising to give their dad Andrew’s beard (centre) the chop on December 8.

givealittle.co.nz/cause/shave-that-dadfor-spirit-of-adventure – and have so far raised around $600 of their $5,250 goal.

“Our dad has volunteered to shave off his beard if we raise enough money,” the page reads. “We would like to see his face without a beard!”

The big shave is set for the next Lions Trash ‘n’ Treasure Market on December 8, taking place inside the Barbershop Co on Duke St, Cambridge. More details can be found at the Facebook page, Shave That Dad. They’ve also been selling items on Trade Me as another means of fundraising, in between the volunteer and physical activities they do as part of their Duke of Ed commitments – volunteering with Riding for the Disabled, working to get

their driver’s licences and training in judo with the local Camkada Judo Club – where they’ve worked their way up to blue belts.

Though not required for the Award, they also go to St John Youth every Tuesday, and teach music to children voluntarily on Saturdays, on top of doing their secondary studies from home through a correspondence school.

The Duke of Edinburgh Award would be one of the best qualifications they could achieve though, being internationally recognised, and would help build a solid foundation for their future.

“You can learn leadership skills, team building, and it shows you’ve committed yourself through all that time.”

Singing with a legend Airport profits, new work set

By Steph Bell-Jenkins

Eleven-year-old Taye Purdy didn’t know who Tim Finn was two months ago – now he’s shared a stage with him.

Taye’s mother Deb was amazed when her son came home from school at the start of term and told her he would be singing with the legendary Kiwi musician in the Leamington School choir.

She said it was “absolutely awesome” watching the 57-strong group perform ‘Parihaka’ at the town hall with Finn last Friday night at a fundraiser for Cambridge Community House, “An Evening of Stories and Songs”, which also starred celebrity cook Allyson Gofton and musician Harry Parsons.

“It was an amazing performance and a once in a lifetime opportunity and I reckon the kids will forever remember this,” Deb Purdy said.

Taye, who had never performed in front of so many people and rates it as the coolest thing he’s ever done, said he was nervous when the curtain was about to rise but the scariest moment was stepping forward to lead a haka after the song was over.

His voice was still hoarse two days after the performance. He said the highlight of the night was meeting Finn and getting his autograph on his t-shirt and both arms, which he was not planning to wash.

Debbie Vanderhorst, who supports Petra Gilbert to tutor the Leamington School choir and is a “massive” Finn brothers fan, said Finn had visited the school to rehearse and had been “lovely” to work with.

She said watching the choir perform on Friday night had been

The Leamington School choir sang Parihaka with Tim Finn at the town hall on Friday night.

“just mindblowing – and as usual the students exceeded our expectations”.

New Zealand musician Harry Parsons, who went to school in Cambridge and now lives in Auckland, volunteered his time to set up the town hall sound system. He also played his own songs and performed with Finn.

“Tim actually emailed me and said, I’d like to get you up for a couple of songs, so I got to play the guitar for ‘Weather With You’ and ‘Dirty Creature’,” Harry said.

“I’d had a couple of weeks to prepare, but on the third song on the night he just said would you like to come up and jam on that one too, so it was pretty cool. He’s such an inspiring, passionate player, so seeing all the effort he was going to right next to me and being able to support that was pretty surreal,” he said.

Parsons released a song a couple of months ago and is hoping to release two more, available on iTunes and Spotify, in

December.

Cambridge Community House general manager Harriet Dixon was grateful to everyone who had supported the fundraiser, which she said had been “a huge success”.

“The performers did what they do best and the audience was in awe of their talent,” she said.

“The funds raised are still being counted but it will all be going back into the community to fund the many free services we provide. Without local support like this we couldn’t keep our doors open.

“We are currently fundraising for a much needed extension to the Community House. We still have a way to go but hope that we can reach our target by the end of December.

If anyone wants to donate services, materials or money to help us make this project a reality, please get in touch on 029 201 4369 or email harriet@ camcomhouse.org.nz.”

Work on extensions to Hamilton airport will begin “in force” early next year, Waikato Regional Airport Ltd (WRAL) chair Barry Harris says.

The multi-million-dollar terminal and carpark upgrades are based on projected passenger growth.

Structural work, including a complete refurbishment of the terminal, will begin in early 2020 and take around 18 months to complete.

Harris was speaking after WRAL reported operating revenue for the year of $10.5 million, up from $8.6 million last year. The airport saw an eight per cent increase in passenger growth.

WRAL is a council-controlled organisation owned by Waipa, Otorohanga, Waikato and Matamata-Piako District Councils and Hamilton City, and is the umbrella for subsidiary companies Hamilton Airport, Hamilton Airport Hotel Limited, Hamilton & Waikato Tourism (HWT) and Titanium Park Limited.

Harris said overall the group had ended the year with a very strong balance sheet.

Hamilton Airport had performed “exceedingly well” with a record 382,000 domestic passengers using the port. But other parts of the group had made a substantial contribution to the bottom line, he said.

These included WRAL’s investment in the Hamilton Airport Hotel which was purchased in January 2018 and was being refurbished into a 62-room 4-star conference facility and hotel.

Titanium Park Limited also contributed to the financial results via strong land sales around the airport precinct as well as growing the group’s income from property leases.

“We are confident in our projections of solid continued passenger growth and earnings and we are absolutely committed to improving the customer experience,” Harris said.

“Over the last three years we have seen a 26 per cent increase in passengers through the airport and we see no sign of that slowing down.”

Hamilton & Waikato Tourism (HWT), which is charged with marketing the region to domestic and international visitors, had also performed well. Visitor nights were up 5.8 per cent and visitor spend was up three per cent to an estimated $1.558 billion. HWT had also increased its share of the lucrative convention and business events market.

WRAL has confirmed it will pay a dividend to its five shareholding councils for the third consecutive year.

Kiwi ‘heroes’ honoured Waikato resident celebrated their own “local heroes” at an awards ceremony at the Waikato Museum this week.

As part of the 2020 New Zealander of the Year Awards, the 15 Kiwibank local heroes, including two from Waipā - Philip Brown (Otorohanga) Shelley Blair (Te Awamutu) were presented with medals to recognise their achievements in the community.

Hamilton’s Deputy Mayor Geoff Taylor, who presented the medals, said every award winner embodied the priceless qualities that hold a community together.

“It was their charity, selflessness and humble generosity that shone bright as we heard each local hero speak about their achievements in our community.

“It’s for that very reason I stand with them all tonight, to acknowledge the hard work they’ve each put into this community that has truly made the Waikato the place it is today,” he said.

Now in their 11th year, the Kiwibank Local Hero Awards are New Zealand’s premier community awards, celebrating and honouring those who have made a positive contribution to their region, town, suburb or community.

Throughout November and December, 326 medals will be presented nationwide, and one New Zealand Local Hero of the Year winner will be announced at the New Zealander of the Year Awards in February 2020.

The Kiwibank Local Heroes for the Waikato are: Thomas Rawiri, Ahmad Zareh, Stewart Nabbs, Assil Russell, Anjum Rahman, Murray Steiner, Suman Kapoor (Hamilton), Sarah Kull (Pokeno), David Dawson, David White (Matamata), Yvonne Haenga-Ashby (Huntly), Denise Potbury (Waikaretu), Philip Brown (Otorohanga), Shelley Blair (Te Awamutu), Margaret Wilson (Putaruru) and Gwenyth Mary Wright (Thames).

It’s almost play time Major progress has been made on the renewal of the Thompson Street Playground in Leamington, Cambridge.

Work on the playground began in October and is now nearing completion. The renewal is part of Waipa District Council’s Long Term Plan which also includes several other playground builds in the district.

Community services manager Sally Sheedy said the foundations were complete, frames for the swings and seesaw erected, and the timber climber built and the stepping poles in place.

“We are making excellent progress on this playground. The weather has been good and our contractor has made great strides to ensure the Thompson street playground is finished by Christmas.”

Plans are also in place for the creation of a community orchard next year in the May/June planting season with fruit trees including feijoa and plum.

“We really want this to be a space where families can come and enjoy themselves together, so we have included features that both parents and children will love.”

Once complete the new playground will include a double bay swing with timber frame and a basket, a toddler swing, a triple rail slide, timber play tower, timber net climber, stepping logs and timber stilt logs.

Thompson Street Playground is funded through development contributions and Council’s existing asset renewal fund budgeted in the 2018-2019 Long Term Plan.

It’s about White’s turn…

It may have taken a little longer than he would have liked but Cambridge horseman Matthew White secured his first New Zealand training win with About Turn at Cambridge Raceway on Friday night.

White, who trains in partnership with Mike Berger, previously spent 10 years

Matthew White: “winning was a bonus”.

in Australia where he recorded 76 wins in his four seasons of training in Western Australia.

“We finally got that first New Zealand win out of the way, so that was great. It’s a bit of a highlight,” White said.

It was About Turn’s first run since his fourth placing in the Gr.1 3YO Emerald (1980m) at Addington in June and his trainers had been pleased with him in the lead-up to Friday.

“It was a good run, but he was probably a little bit underdone,” White said.

“We were expecting a good run but winning was a bonus. The pleasing thing is there is still plenty of improvement left in him.”

It was also the first appearance of Berger’s colours this season, with About Turn recording the 638th win for the well-known silks.

“He will race in Mike’s colours with the owners having taken over his colours for the season,” White said.

White was also victorious in the cart earlier in the card when reining home Presidential Jewel to win the Kembla NZ Handicap Trot (2700m) for trainer

Roger Villiger.

Meanwhile, the Cambridge trainers are looking forward to the raceday return of Group One performer Eagle Watch.

“He is back fast-working now,” White said. “We just had to stop with him for a couple of weeks because he had a bit of a virus.

White wasn’t the only person celebrating a night of firsts at Cambridge Raceway on Friday night.

South Auckland junior driver Sheridan Rapley began her career in the cart with a bang when recording her first win in her first raceday drive behind Pekeson in the Plumbing World Mobile Pace (2200m).

Rapley was rapt with her early success and said she is still coming to terms with Friday night’s result.

The 22-year-old horsewoman is another success story from Kidz Kartz, having been introduced to the sport through the programme.

“Getting out there and having my first win was my initial goal and now I have got to find a new one,” she said. Cambridge Raceway

‘Green’ bowlers show their skills New bowlers Margaret Stott and Bruce Sayers have taken to the sport like ducks to water.

The duo play for the Cambridge Bowling Club on Thornton Road.

After representing New Zealand in the International Disabled Bowls in Korea, Sayers has recently competed with distinction in a bowls tournament for people with hearing disabilities.

Hearing aids were banned on the rink and he quickly learned the sign language required for directing bowls to the “jack”. He said competing against other hearing-impaired bowlers was a wonderful experience.

He also competed in this month’s National Disabled Bowls Championships in Christchurch.

Stott trialled successfully for the U5 (years played) division of the Waikato

Rep team. The team has played against Northland and Bay of Plenty, with more competitions on the horizon.

She said entering the Waikato U5 Ladies Pairs (in a composite team with Lyn Young from Cambridge Central Bowling Club, also an U5 Rep) was a wonderful new experience. Ably skipped by Young, the pair made it through to the playoffs before being knocked out.

Stott also entered the U5 singles competition, where games were decided by the first competitor to reach 21 points. The contest was played between nine players over three days at three Waikato bowling clubs.

She was beaten in a cliff-hanger final at Te Awamutu by Vicki Coll of Te Kuiti.

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.

Enjoy your Christmas dinner!

Sports fans can experience a festival of top football in Cambridge this weekend when the town hosts three matches of national significance.

For the first time, Cambridge Football Club will provide the venue for fixtures in all three of football’s elite national competitions.

The games, to be played at John Kerkhof Park, are Saturday,11am - National Youth League Hamilton Wanderers v Auckland City; 2pm - ISPS Handa Men’s Premiership Hamilton Wanderers v Auckland City and Sunday, 2pm, National Women’s League WaiBOP v Central A number of full internationals are expected to take the field for the men’s match between Wanderers and Auckland City.

These include Wanderers striker Tommy Semmy (Papua New Guinea), who recently trialled with Wellington Phoenix, and the side’s recent signing, All White Jake Butler.

Auckland City’s star-studded squad includes All Whites Myer Bevan, Adam Mitchell and Clayton Lewis who is re-joining the club after two years playing in the UK. Other internationals include David Browne (Papua New Guinea), Brian Kaltak (Vanuatu) and Yousif Ali (Iraq).

The dug outs will have an international look as well with former All Whites coach, Cambridge-based Ricki Herbert, leading Wanderers while Auckland are coached by national youth team coach Jose Figuero and All White legend Ivan Vicelich.

In the early youth league game, two Cambridge players will feature for Wanderers in the youth fixture. They are Reds striker Josh Clarkin and defender Jack Portegys who have moved to Hamilton for their summer programme, as they did last year.

Clarkin, who was Cambridge’s top

goalscorer in the Northern League over the winter, has continued his scoring touch for Wanderers, helping the side to the top of the competion.

Auckland City, who won the youth league last year, will be anxious to beat Wanderers in their efforts to retain the title.

On Sunday, the WaiBOP women’s team will continue their NWL programme, facing Central (who represent the provinces in the lower North Island).

The two teams are likely to be evenly matched and WaiBOP will be keen to deliver a home victory in their fifth of six matches being played at Cambridge.

Hosting games in all three competitions in the same year is a first for Cambridge, who have previously staged 11 men’s national league fixtures and 10 women’s league games.

Keeping it local Supporting local growers and suppliers is in the DNA of New Zealanders, says Logan McKenzie, owner/ operator of New World Cambridge. “We are very motivated to support them. We also use local service providers where possible.”

As a large local employer, Logan and wife Nicola (pictured) feel a responsibility to the community to keep as much local as possible.

“In a lot of instances, the local growers supplying to us also shop with us and this all helps the whole community to thrive.”

The couple have owned the business for four years and over this time they’ve developed solid relationships with customers and suppliers. “Any relationship is about meeting in middle ground. It’s no different with growers and suppliers,” says Logan, who considers his core role as a retailer in Cambridge is to stock the right product at the right time in perfect condition. “When you can do this from your door step this helps everyone, including the environment.”

Cambridge and its outlying environs supports a diversity of growers.

Those supplying their local New World include Eden Hydroponics with their fancy lettuce; strawberry grower, Fencourt Gardens; Boyds Asparagus Industries; Monavale Blueberries; Kaimai Greens; Kane’s Strawberries and Sniks Pork Crackle.

COUNTRYLIFE

Celebrating the art of gardening

Eleven diverse city and country gardens will be on display later this month. Rotary Cambridge’s annual garden festival on Sunday November 24 promises to be a spectacle of colour, landscape design and art.

Two large country gardens, which were favourites from last year, are back on the trail this year, including Jan and Bill Mathers’ Wells Road garden, where hydrangeas are a specialty, and Helen and Ken Haycock’s garden at Kaipaki Road. Numerous trees and paths are features of the Haycocks’ mature garden.

Three new country gardens, including two are on Pencarrow Road and one at 21 Racecourse Road, are further highlights.

The Racecourse Road garden has an equine theme. Pond and abundant garden art define the

garden at 434 Pencarrow Road while down the road at number 308 the large manicured garden is adorned with attractive gardens and has a hidden Hobbit house.

Visitors will also encounter artists in their gardens and have opportunities to buy their artwork. Carole Hughes has an inner city style Mediterranean garden in contrast to Dot and Barry Harding’s outdoor environment which is full of secret gardens. The Hardings are exhibiting their wood art, garden art and patchwork.

Three of the four town gardens are in Thornton Road; the other is on St Kilda Road. Several are only a few years old.

Carey Church of Rotary Cambridge says they are always looking for a variety of gardens.

“We’d love to hear from anyone

who has an interesting garden that we may be able to include in future years.”

Meanwhile, gardeners are hard at work beautifying their gardens for this month’s festival.

Keeping it local

Continued from page 17

Locally-grown food offers countless benefits.

It not only creates important economic opportunities, provides health benefits and helps to reduce environmental impact, it also helps bring the community together and gives people the opportunity to make a difference.

Locally-grown food is generally fresher and tastier. Customers have peace of mind knowing exactly where their food comes from and how it was grown. For others, supporting community economics and building relationships with local food producers is incredibly important, as is protecting the environment.

Growing relationships

Changes to fire permit applications As the weather heats up, so does the risk of fire. Fire safety becomes paramount over the summer months. A safety check should be undertaken before lighting any type of outdoor fire. As of September 25, 2019, Waipa District Council requires that applications for a fire permit be undertaken using the new online National Fire Permit System accessed from www.checkitsalright. nz .

The new system is designed for easy use and provides more visibility and control over applications and permits. It replaces the previous fire permit application process of emailing or calling local Fire and Emergency

FRIDAY NOVEMBER 15, 2019

NZ offices.

Fires must not be lit until a fire permit is issued.

Progressively rolled out across the whole of the country, the new system took effective at the end of September.

The new National Fire Permit System is particularly beneficial to people who frequently apply for fire permits as it allows for an account to be created and avoids having to repeatedly provide all details for each application.

Those with existing applications being assessed by Fire and Emergency before Friday 20 September 2019 will be completed

using the existing process. Permits approved in the old system are no longer valid. New applications must be sought using the new system.

Once the permit is approved in the new system, it can be renewed in the future.

Fires should be supervised at all times.

Don't light them in windy conditions and be mindful not to annoy neighbours with smoke nuisance. Fires must not be left to burn where there is a chance of spread.

Water and/or other equipment should be kept handy if available and the fire should be completely extinguished on completion of the burn.

Damon Lauder and Jacque Waters of Fencourt Gardens are into their third season as growers.

Damon says New World Cambridge is their best customer and a pleasure to deal with.

“Our strawberries go straight from the field and onto the supermarket shelves.” The season started in mid September and will run till the end of January. After a relatively slow start, Damon says they’re hitting their stride now.

Monavale Blueberries are happy to supply Cambridge New World and appreciate the supermarket’s support of local growers. “It is wonderful to be able to supply our fresh organic blueberries direct to store so customers can get the freshest berries possible,” says Marije Banks.

Boyds Asparagus general manager, Tony Rickman, says Cambridge people couldn’t get asparagus fresher unless they picked it themselves. Produce is delivered within a couple of hours of the order being received.

Boyds supplies to New World Cambridge on a daily basis. “We have a good relationship with the produce buyer who is a lot of fun and a pleasure to deal with.

“Boyds really likes supporting local businesses,” says Tony.

Tapping into kawakawa COUNTRYLIFE

FRIDAY NOVEMBER 15, 2019

The small densely-branched kawakawa tree packs a lot of punch. Māori have long known its value as a healing herb and its fruit, bark and leaves remain widely used.

But now the rest of the world is cottoning on to the remarkable medicinal properties contained within this plant.

Kawakawa is available as a tea, can be used to flavour sweet and savoury dishes, and is currently being researched for its anti-inflammatory properties.

Māori traditionally chewed the leaves or made them into an infusion to treat stomach ailments, bladder problems and toothache.

The fruits were eaten as a diuretic and externally used to heal cuts, boils, bruises, rheumatism, and nettle stings.

Leaves and bark boiled in water and infused are used for treating skin problems, such as eczema, purifying blood, and treating colds and flu. Myristicin, one of two known bioactive molecules present in kawakawa, is anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and hepatoprotective.

Since 2012 Richard Jones of Otorohanga (pictured) and his business partner Simon Harman have been harnessing the goodness of kawakawa through a refreshing, sparkling non alcoholic drink marketed under the Taha label.

The drink combines kawakawa with the tasty ingredients of ginger and mānuka honey flavouring extract, and uses dual-filtered New Zealand water that has undergone UV and charcoal filtering systems.

The hand-designed natural beverage is free from GMO, MSG, dairy, soy and gluten.

CAMBRIDGE NEWS | 19

Jones said the formulation was created by an industry professional and the distribution system is handled by a firm in Auckland. Taha is on supermarket shelves and cafés up and down the country. As yet the business is a sideline but the partners have plans for development and international markets.

There has been off-shore interest but, with food and health standards to meet, the export process in still in its developmental stage. “To export to some countries, we need to educate them in terms of the health benefits and also meet their food health and safety criteria.

It's much like meeting FDA regulations.”

Meanwhile, Kiwis get to enjoy the naturally refreshing and rejuvenating drink, which is especially popular over summer.

Changes now in effect to Dairy Cattle Code of Welfare Changes to the Dairy Cattle Code of Welfare took effect from 31 October. As a result, DairyNZ is encouraging farmers to check they meet new minimum standards.

The change is designed to enable cows to express natural behaviour, like lying down, in all environments.

Many of the changes relate to requirements in offpaddock facilities. Around 40 per cent of farms use off paddock facilities, mostly to feed cows when grass growth is limited.

The range of off-paddock facilities used includes feed pads and stand-off pads.

These facilities can provide environmental and animal health benefits.

For farmers with offpaddock facilities, where where cows are wintered on hard surfaces with no soft lying area, a compressible surface, such as rubber, needs to be available for cows to lie on.

Calving cows on hard surfaces like concrete or stones must have a dry, non-slip covering such as straw or rubber matting. The amount of effluent build-up on the surface should also be managed.

Calving cows in offpaddock facilities must have

enough space to separate themselves from the herd.

Wood chip pad facilities with no roof are required to have drainage that minimises ponding, to provide enough comfortable space for cows to lie down.

Where concrete feed pads are used in wet weather and cows are kept on feed pads for most of the day for several days, some daily access to drier paddocks must be provided. As an alternative, farmers can also use rubber matting if the feed pad is used regularly to reduce pugging.

“The new minimum

standards are designed to allow cows to express natural behaviours, such as lying comfortably, in all types of environments,” says Helen Thoday, animal care team leader at DairyNZ. “Cows find surfaces with moisture levels higher than about 75 per cent uncomfortable to lie down on. In a paddock, that level is about when you will see water in your gum boot prints.”

DairyNZ will be working with farmers who winter cows on crop paddocks, to find onfarm solutions to meet this requirement.

Kiwi releases at Sanctuary Mountain Not many people get to see a kiwi in the wild, but Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari is working hard to change this by offering a unique experience to the public to be part of a kiwi release. Five hundred kiwi are being released into Maungatautari’s native bush over a five-year period as of a partnership with Kiwis for kiwi. Releases are scheduled for Friday November 15, 22 and 29 from 12.00pm – 2.00pm. Bookings are also available from the end of January through to the end of March 2020.

While the duration of each release is expected to be up to two hours, the time is dependent on the release site. Participants can expect to experience a demonstration of kiwi monitoring, a walk into Te Tui a Tane

Southern Enclosure, a guided tour and a walk to the kiwi release site. They will also discover more about the role of Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari as a kōhanga kiwi in kiwi conservation.

“The welfare of the kiwi is paramount,” says Maungatautari’s species coordinator, Dr Janelle Ward. “The kiwi will only be handled by our accredited kiwi handlers and Kiwi Experience participants must follow the instructions of Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari staff at all times”.

A moderate level of fitness is required and certain terms and conditions must be met by Kiwi Experience participants. Bookings can be made online via the Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari website.

Lake Karapiro Gourmet in the Gardens

Gourmet in the Gardens may be an awesome way to enjoy your weekend but choosing what to eat can be a problem. If you’re up to the challenge, head down to Mighty River Domain this month for an evening under the sun. Take a picnic blanket, some friends and a good appetite.

The relaxed vibe, live music and picturesque setting create the perfect atmosphere for an evening that attracts truck loads of foodies.

A foodies’ paradise, the outdoor gourmet food market features entertainment and food

from around the globe.

Local foodies include The Smoke Collective, Phat Patti, Apero, Mr Softee Ice Cream and Miss Bangkok, who is starting her season in early December.

Gourmet in the Gardens Lake Karapiro is into its second season.

GITG organiser Tania Simpson said the venue is a beautiful piece of the country which lends itself to an outdoor food event. “We deal with an amazing organisation offering a lot of support on the day, with great energy from Liz Stolwijk and her team.

“There is a beautiful amount

of shade from the fully developed trees which allows customers to escape the intense summer sun.”

Locals have welcomed the event. “The response up till now has been great,” said Simpson who gets immense enjoyment from offering the community an event that allows people to connect face to face.

“So much social media these days means we think we are more connected, but in reality we are not. At GITG we see people talking to friends, family and loved ones. The kids are normally off their devices and running around. When people talk

to me about GITG, it’s about enjoying catching up and using it as a meeting place for everyone.”

Another rewarding aspect is growing small businesses within the GIGT business.

This year sees the addition of four more vendors moving their operations from a gazebo into their first trucks.

Three brand new vendors are also joining the fleet of food trucks.

Challenges come from judging the right amount of food trucks on the day and getting a great food offering. Gourmet evenings are on Saturday 16 and 30 November, 4.00pm-8.00pm.

The Smoke Collective meating your needs A couple of years ago, chef of 20 years Aaron Croft, decided Cambridge needed some good old-fashioned barbecue soul food.

“Nothing fancy,” says Aaron, “just a good honest barbecue.”

And so began the Smoke Collective Barbecue. He and wife Aroha went mobile with a food truck and a dream to deliver the best barbecue in town.

The success of the food truck led to the Cambridge couple to open a premises in Albert Street with dine-in, pick-up and

delivery options.

The Smoke Collective has become renowned for serving low and slow smoked beef brisket, pork belly, ribs, burgers and more. Different sides are available to accompany the barbecued meats. The menu is changed from time to time and fresh local produce is used as much as possible.

Still as mobile as ever, the public can sample the meaty deliciousness of The Smoke Collective at Lake Karapiro’s Gourmet in the Gardens over the summer season.

Hayward adds to haul of North Island titles

Te Awamutu’s Emily Hayward has celebrated wins in both the Premier League and Young Rider crowns at the Showjumping Auckland North Island Championship Show.

The 20-year-old won the Olympic Cup as Showjumper of the Year last year.

This week she and her 10-year-old Australian bred-to-race thoroughbred Belischi HM headed home eight other combinations to take the honours in the POLI Payments North Island Premier League over the Eryn Duffy-designed course.

Hayward Belischi HM were the only combination to finish the two-round competition with a clean slate.

In the second round, all six combinations to come back were clear but as each carried their first round penalties, it was Hayward’s to claim.

“The plan in the second round was just to go in and go clear,” she said. “I was a little careful as he wasn’t overly confident on the ground which was quite wet. He’s your typical thoroughbred who prefers it hard and fast.”

The Ross Smith-trained rider said the track was quite technical but Duffy had designed at Mystery Creek the weekend before, so it was as she had expected. “I am

really happy with him,” she said.

She had kept Belischi ticking over through the winter months and he had a month’s break while she competed in Australia. “We had a bit of a late start because of that and this is just his fifth or sixth outing. He just tries so hard – he is very spooky and quirky but you can’t not love him.”

Earlier in the show, Hayward and Belischi won the FMG North Island Young Rider Championship with another double clear effort – his second Young Rider win of the season. Nicola Hammond of Cambridge was second on Le Bam and fifth on Carlo.

Hayward plans to chase the Horse Grand Prix, Young Rider and the World Cup classes this season, as well as defend her Olympic Cup crown. “I planned my season backwards,” she says. “I started at the big one and work around that.”

There was also success for Cambridge rider Jeremy Whale on Bannockburn ECPH. He won the East Coast Performance Horses North Island Five-Year-Old section while the Cheleken Equestrian and UltraMox North Island Six-Year-Old section went to Jaime Tiller

(Cambridge) on Casanova Xtreme from Sam Matthews (Cambridge) on Fleur DeLacour 2.

Flavours

Sizzle season

Tantalising smells are wafting across my backyard — it must be time to rev up the barbecue and compete with the neighbours in our annual competition for the best summer aromas.

Whatever the type of cooker or fuel used, the secret to successful barbecues is the quality of the heat.

You don’t need a mountain of coals on a charcoal barbecue — under normal circumstances, about 25 coals are sufficient. Allow 30 minutes between lighting up and cooking. The coals should be glowing under a layer of white ash. If you find the charcoal heat decreases toward the end of cooking, tap the coals to remove the ash. Ash is the insulator and once removed the heat becomes more intense. Don’t blow it off or a cloud of ash may settle on your meal.

Flames should be avoided. Cooking over roaring flames can ruin good meat, charring the outside while the inside remains raw. A flat barbecue plate is easier for beginner chefs because it is similar to frying. Meat can be pre-cooked on the hot plate if preferred, and finished on the grill to give it that ‘barbecue’ flavour.

To reduce or eliminate excess flaming, trim any surplus fat from the meat. Use lean minced meat for burgers. If the food has been marinated, wipe off the excess marinade, start the cooking process, then baste if necessary close to serving time. If the flames jump up, douse with a spray of water from a spray bottle.

Lacrosse skills earn full scholarship A lacrosse student recently graduated from St Peter’s School has a accepted a full lacrosse scholarship at the University of Mount Olive (UMO) in North Carolina.

Renee Edge, who has won regional and national lacrosse titles over the past two years with the Waikato senior women’s lacrosse team and the under-19 national lacrosse team, will start at the university in January 2020 and begin the Mount Olive Trojans lacrosse season in February.

She started the sport in Year 9 and eventually gave up hockey in Year 11 to focus on lacrosse fulltime. As well as playing with the St Peter’s Premier lacrosse team, she coached the school’s A team and intermediate team and helped coach the Waikato under-15 team.

She plans on studying an agri-business degree and will pursue a career in New Zealand after completing her studies in the States.

Renee Edge, pictured playing for the St Peter’s Premier lacrosse team, has accepted a full scholarship at a North Carolina university.

with Jan Bilton

Korean chick with kick

Herby barbecued eggplant

Combine the ingredients for the glaze.

Preheat the barbecue to medium-high. Grill the chicken for about 3 minutes each side. Brush lightly with the glaze. Turn the thighs over and cook for a few seconds. Repeat this process until the chicken is nicely coloured and cooked through. Serves 4-6.

Brush both sides well with the olive oil combo.

Barbecue on the grill or hotplate for about 2-3 minutes each side, until tender.

Serve as an accompaniment or top with dollops of fresh mozzarella to make a tasty vegetarian meal. Serves 4.

KOREAN CHICK WITH KICK

HERBY BARBECUED EGGPLANT

PAPRIKA BEEF

Gochujang is a Korean chilli paste. It is available from Asian food stores and some supermarkets.

3 tablespoons thick soy sauce 2 tablespoons sesame oil 1 tablespoon finely grated root ginger 8 skinned and boned chicken thighs Glaze: 3 tablespoons gochujang 2 tablespoons each: honey, lemon juice, soy sauce 1 teaspoon sesame oil Combine the first 3 ingredients in a bowl. Add the chicken and turn to coat evenly. Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours.

I used the award-winning Juno Olive Oil made with olives crushed with lemons.

1/2 cup lemon infused olive oil 2 tablespoons lemon juice 2 cloves garlic, crushed salt to taste 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano 1 medium-large eggplant, stem removed Combine the first 5 ingredients and stand for an hour to allow the flavours to blend.

Cut the eggplant into 1cm-1.5cm thick slices lengthwise.

3 tablespoons canola oil 1 tablespoon paprika 1-2 teaspoons chilli powder 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1kg rump steak in the piece, cut 3cm thick Combine the oil, paprika, chilli powder and cumin. Spread over both sides of the steak. Marinate for several hours or overnight in the refrigerator.

Barbecue for about 3-4 minutes each side, until cooked to taste.

Cover and rest for 1-2 minutes. Cut into 1cm-thick slices across the grain.

Excellent served with a tomato or fruit salsa. Serves 4-6.

AILO’S JOURNEY Ailo, a reindeer in its first year, is learning its place in the world. While getting used to the harsh weather and life conditions in Lapland, (Northern Scandinavia), Ailo also meets the other animals living there, like squirrels, foxes, wolverines and other reindeer. This movie is almost like a documentary as it shows the viewer about the flora and fauna. Cute animals and beautiful scenic views of landscapes are combined with Finnish orchestral music and both add to a very special cinema experience.

FORD Vs FERRARI Once in a while, a big Hollywood film is made with big Hollywood stars and big Hollywood production values and everything works to deliver a dynamic cinematic event. This movie, armed with superior talent in front and behind the camera, has been directed with bravado. A strong screenplay is the foundation of a great story involving the characters portrayed by Matt Damon playing American Car Designer Carroll Shelby, driver Christian Bale and Tracy Letts as Henry Ford II, all involved in challenging the famous Italian car maker Ferrari at the famous race at Le Mans in 1966. From the very first frame, the tone is set with exciting, bold and energetic images that are visually striking, alongside a great score that never overwhelms or feels standard.

The editing is outstanding; the pace is so fast moving, pulsating with nail biting excitement, especially in the racing sequences. It creates a rich panorama, always authentic in feel, full of subtleties resulting in a remarkable background that comes together beautifully. Flawless performances are a high point.

One of the most satisfying films of the year, filled with energy, and certain to be a major contender for many well deserved awards.

Tough racing at Bridge to Bridge Classic

By Sophie Iremonger

It was a lucky streak for Cambridge skiers racing in the 36th annual Bridge to Bridge Water Ski Classic over the weekend.

Although Australians Ray Ball and Dylan Stevenson took the top title in the open race, Cambridge’s Mitchell Horan was just five minutes behind to take the third-place title alongside co-skier Mark Preistly, following a 38-minute water ski race from Cambridge to Taupiri, towed behind speed boats travelling at 160km/h.

“Conditions were probably more challenging this year,” said 23-year-old Horan, who was racing in his 12th year at the competition. “The wind was going against the current... but it wasn’t too bad.

“It’s an extreme sport so you can’t be complacent, you could get injured.”

The day before the event, at Lake Karapiro on Friday morning, an Australian skier due to take part in the Bridge to Bridge race was practicing and “took a bad tumble” according to people at the scene. He was taken to Waikato Hospital in a critical condition and remained in the intensive care unit this week.

Organiser Brad Dutton said the event itself had run smoothly over the weekend.

“There was a bit of rain, but everything went very well,” he said, noting a good turnout despite Sunday’s wet weather. “The rain was a bit of a shame, but it was forecast for much worse so we’re pretty happy with how it turned out really.

“It was just typical Waikato weather, getting sun burnt in Cambridge at the start line, and then rain in Taupiri.”

Jess Sinclair, a new resident to Cambridge,

Australian skiers Ray Ball and Dylan Stevenson won the open race.

competed in the 82km race alongside Australian skier Emma Barnes, and won the women’s open.

Former Cambridge resident and jet ski racer Robert Ferguson competed in the jet ski class and finished first in the ‘stock forced induction’ division.

“It can’t get much better than that,” said Ferguson, who was competing in his first race since taking a break from the racing circuit for surgery.

“It went really well considering I had a knee reconstruction eight months ago and it was my first race back,” he said. “I was pretty nervous to jump back on the ski and compete but had to overcome my fear sooner or later, so it felt pretty good to get back out and start competing again.

“Hopefully in years to come I’ll win the race outright.”

Meanwhile Cambridge’s Annie Martin

competed in the women’s open alongside Ngaruawahia skier Paige Arnott and placed third. They also placed second for under-19s.

“We weren’t expecting to place but we had some luck,” said the 18-year-old, who was competing in her third year at the competition. She too had recovered from surgery in October last year, and “honestly didn’t think” she’d be back at the competition for at least a couple of years.

“So, to come back this year and be able to do it was pretty cool,” she said.

It was tricky, she admitted, racing for over half an hour over 82km, at such a high speed.

“We were racing people who have been in this sport for their whole lives and racing the open boats as well. So, it was pretty cool to be able to come up against them and beat a few of them.”
