Who’s next? The Cambridge News Person of the Year is back for its third rendition. The award, which is announced in our final edition of the year, celebrates Cambridge’s good sorts and recognises one special person for their contributions to the community or significance in their field. And we want you to tell us who you think should receive the award for 2019. The first Cambridge News Person of the Year was Linda Roil, founder of Kids In Need Waikato. A selfless caregiver who has helped make a world of difference for children living in foster care, Roil credited the Cambridge community as a whole when she was presented the award in January 2017. In January when Jan Nesbit was named the 2018 Cambridge News Person of the Year it was an acknowledgement of a lifetime of achievements and caring for others. In the late 1960s she was the first female ambulance driver in the Waikato, and in the five years leading up to her award she had almost singlehandedly co-ordinated many hundreds of Red Cross journeys transporting Cambridge residents to and from medical appointments in Hamilton. That’s in addition to helping countless new mums through Plunket and helping fundraise for the Foundation for the Blind and the Cancer Association. She rapidly lost her sight in 2008 due to a rare eye disorder. Who would be your 2019 Cambridge Person the Year – and why? If you would like to nominate someone send their full name and contact details and tell us why they should be considered for the award. Email sophie@goodlocal.nz or drop off your nomination to our office at 55 Victoria St, Cambridge. We will accept nominations until noon on Thursday, December 6 and we will announce the winner on December 21.

Barnett’s new racket

By Sophie Iremonger

Former New Zealand champion Brian Barnett has returned to Cambridge to lead a programme fostering squash talent and promoting life skills. Barnett, who began playing the sport in Cambridge as a 13-year-old, has coached internationally in Europe and also coached former world champion Susan Devoy. The two-part programme he has launched includes one for primary-age and one for secondary school-aged children. “It’s based around leadership skills, creative thinking, and health and wellbeing. So we

have squash, but it’s a whole lot more for kids than just squash,” he said. Based on the work of six Auckland professors, the pilot-tested programme will begin in the New Year with students from his old primary school, Cambridge East. “Generally they’re learning how to use the ball and learn ball movements on the court, but then upstairs we’ve also got drumming, comic book making and dancing. So we’re doing a whole lot more than just the game, it’s life skills too. Planning, creative thinking… they learn to concentrate and express themselves.” Barnett is also an art director and member

of the Epilepsy Foundation of NZ and has written art therapy programmes for people with epilepsy, and a squash programme for youth in South Auckland. He said it was “really nice” to be back in Cambridge working on the court with Cambridge Racquet Club’s youth members. A trial run of the programme in Te Kauwhata saw the club’s membership numbers more than double, and he hopes to see a similar rise in interest in the sport in Cambridge. Ultimately, he would like to see Cambridge become the centre of elite squash in New Zealand.

Love your smile.

Opening hours for the Christmas Festival are 10am to 6pm from November 29 to December 8; and 10am to 8.30pm from December 9 to 16. On the last night (December 17) the festival will close at 6pm. Also in the hall is the usual Christmas Festival shop, and a line-up of choirs will add to the festivities. The performances, with

their dates and times, are listed below.

Pool costs The Waipa District council says the Cambridge pool had some issues and that another $521k needed to be spent and it would be funded by asset sales and external funding. I was surprised to see Lorraine Kendrick say there would be no costs to the ratepayers. I find that statement confusing as whatever the costs, the ratepayer will pay. If the costs is being paid by asset sales, I would expect that Council (ratepayers) will lose any revenue what should have been received from those assets. Surely income would have been created from those assets. So, first question is: Council is funding a lot by selling assets, this has happened a lot over the last years. How many assets does Council have to sell? Why is Council buying assets? To make a profit on selling them? Is Council in the property market? Second question is: can it be made transparent what external funding consists of? Third question is why was this problem not picked up when the engineers report was done, is there any recompense on that “omission/not found” With the extra $521k to be spent what is the total cost going to be on the capital spend? I assume that the original costs of the fundraising has already been absorbed by rates. Bernard Westerbaan Kihikihi

importantly, meet the needs of the community. The type of assets Council owns varies greatly, but they include things like community facilities, housing for pensioners, land and houses that are purchased for future infrastructure or capital works, and water assets. Any acquisition or disposal of an asset that is not part of the current Long Term Plan must be approved by Council. 2. External funding: Council has a $2 million fundraising target and donations towards the construction of the Cambridge Pool have reached just over $1.8 million. We are incredibly grateful to have had 14 donors contribute to the Cambridge Pool project. Cambridge Pool Fundraising Summary: Trust Waikato $400,000, Perry Charitable Trust $300,000, Shoof $15,000, Shaws Wire Ropes $20,000, C and R Group $80,000, Lions Club of Cambridge $100,000, ASB Bank $80,000, Anonymous $20,000, Skeet Trust $100,000, Lotteries $300,000, APL (materials in kind) $100,000, Grassroots Trust $200,000, John and Glenice Gallagher Trust $100,000, Kelly Grice and Karen Grootscholten (Bayleys Real Estate) $6,900. 3. Why was this problem not picked up earlier? Council anticipated there would be a high likelihood that some remedial works were required due to the age of the pool. However, until the pool was closed and emptied, and the adjacent ground excavated for the new building, we were unable to carry out inspections and we couldn’t be sure of the extent of work required. 4. Capital spend? In October 2018 Council entered into a $17.6 million fixed-price contract to build the long-awaited pool complex. The extra $521,000 for remedial works is in addition to that budget, which will bring the total capital spend to $18.1 million. The work will be incorporated into the current redevelopment contract for the new building, and contractor is currently reviewing the programme of works to schedule it.

GIVEAWAY A group of young Cambridge-based actors and actresses are gearing up for a production on the Hamilton stage. Dogfight, produced by Bold Theatre, is a tale about six young US Marines about to be sent to war in Vietnam in 1963. On their last night in San Francisco, they engage in a tradition – the Dogfight – where each soldier competes to bring an ‘ugly’ girl to a party. The show follows the complex relationship between one marine, Eddie Birdlace, and his date, Rose, and the ensuing emotional journey both characters take when Rose discovers the game. It may initially appear like a depressing story for the females in the cast, but not so, according to St Peter’s School graduates Megan Goldsman and Liberty Jack, agreeing that Rose’s journey is deeply empowering. “It’s a raw and rough story, and it would be easy for the females to get lost, but it shows Rose assert her own power and strength. I think audiences will see that this story is about Rose finding greater self-esteem out of horrible circumstances,” said Goldsman. For the young marines, the challenge has been to find some humanity in the characters they are playing. Zach Clarke, also a St Peter’s grad, sees these characters as shaped by the environment they’ve been put in. “They’re not evil, but they’ve been told to behave in certain way towards others.” For Tu Maia Carbone-Curtis, who won a Zony Award this year for Best Leading Female in a Youth Production for her role in the St Peter’s musical Bonnie & Clyde, it was the show’s rich writing, set alongside 1960s America, that made it so compelling. Directed by David Sidwell with the support of musical director Nick Braae, the show runs November 29 November to December 14 at the Meteor Theatre. Tickets are available from www.themeteor. co.nz.3 Cambridge News has a four-person pass to give away to the matinee show on Sunday, December 8. Just send your full name and contact number to sophie@ goodlocal.nz no later than 9am Tuesday, December 3.

Valuations: what they mean

An average rise in property values in Waipā of around 25 per cent in three years has underlined a growing demand to live in the region. And the latest valuations which show industrial land values rising at a rate of 33.7 per cent compared to 9.1 percent for dairy and pastoral land will have some benefits for farmers. It may mean in some cases their rates bill will fall. The latest valuations were announced last week by Quotable Value Ltd and show an increase of 24.8 per cent in capital value and an increase of 33.7 per cent in land value across the district. Council’s business support group manager Ken Morris said the council’s present focus was on compiling the 2020-21 budgets and it would be early next year before staff model the rating impacts of

the new revaluations. He said the figures were a positive indicator for the region. “Around 47 per cent of our total rates is determined by capital value so the three yearly rating revaluations can result in significant changes in incidence.” Incidence can be looked at in terms of slices in a pie – the sizes of the slices are influenced by changes in property values. “In the absence of detailed modelling, the general guide is that the rates impacts are not about the valuation changes per se, but about the revaluation movements for individual properties compared to the average movement for the district,” Morris said. “Therefore, in regard to the land use of properties, and with an average increase

of 24.8 per cent across the district, industrial land with an average increase of 33.7 per cent will have a bigger share of the rates pie than previously; and dairy and pastoral land at 9.1 per cent will have a significantly lesser share, and those properties might even see a reduction in their rates bill.” The latest revaluation has seen the highest increases in value in the industrial, commercial, lifestyle and residential sectors. He said the 28.3 per cent average increase across all residential properties was not too dissimilar to the all sector district average of 24.8 per cent. “However, for some parts of the district there is a significant variance from the 24.8 per cent; examples being Kihikihi at 46 per cent and Te Pahu at 41.7 per cent. In those

New valuations could be good news down on the farm

cases, the share of the pie will increase and therefore rates increases greater than the headline average rates increase number for the district are likely to be expected.” The highest increase has been in Kihikihi and there were strong rises in Pirongia and Ohaupo. “This is great news for our smaller towns which are experiencing rapid growth and development,” Morris said. He said it was important to note that the owners of a $435,120 property in Kihikihi would pay the same rates as the owners of a $435,120 property anywhere in the ward, despite the different percentage increases. According to figures from the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand (REINZ), sale rates have dropped by 20 per cent year-on-year with 84 Waipa properties sold in October 2019 compared to 101 in October 2018. “In terms of prices, this would reflect what we’re seeing in many parts of the country with strong regional growth,” said Dee Crooks from the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand. The new property values in Waipa were 24.5 per cent growth in Cambridge to an

average value of $668,000, 26 per cent in Leamington to $619,000, 31 per cent in Ohaupo to $503,000, 30 per cent in Te Awamutu to $500,000, 46 per cent in Kihikihi to $435,000, and 35 per cent in Pirongia to $577,000. The overall worth of Waipā properties is up to $22.3

billion from $16.6 billion in the 2016. Valuation notices will be sent to ratepayers on November 25. If owners have concerns, they have until January 17, 2020 to object. For more information on the 2019 revaluation, including how to object, head to www.waipadc.govt.nz

Christmas Parade

A total of 40 floats will take part in the Cambridge New World Christmas Parade from 2pm on Sunday. The floats will parade around Victoria and Queen streets in Cambridge. The theme for this year’s parade is “Christmas Around the World”, celebrating Christmas with an international flair, but organiser Vicki Ewing said the theme was not compulsory, so the event will feature all sorts of different floats. Te Miro School’s float will celebrate its centenary – coming up in early 2020 – and St Peter’s Catholic will follow the international theme whilst also sticking to their traditional nativity scene. Other schools to feature this year include Leamington, Goodwood and Hautapu.

Heating up…

More hot and dry weather is on the way for Waipā. As demand for water rises the Waipa District Council is encouraging people to be conservative in their use of it. The forecast was for some rain today, but it had been expected earlier. Waipa Water Delivery spokeswoman Tania Higgie says in the last week water orders have started to come in with a few each day. In the past month in Waipā has had just 36mm of rain, and none in a week as temperatures peaked at 27 degrees celsius.

Deputy’s salary drop ‘not a gender issue’ By Sophie Iremonger

Salaries for Waipa district councillors were approved at a council meeting last week, when all but one voted in favour of a new distribution of pay to accommodate for an additional councillor, which resulted in the deputy mayor’s salary dropping and other councillors getting more. Though it was a “bad look” that Liz Stolwyk would receive $10,000 less than her male predecessor, the new deputy mayor said it was not a gender issue – it was simply not the best way to re-balance the cash pool. “I just couldn’t bring myself to vote in favour of that resolution – it

wasn’t my pay decrease, but their pay increase,” she said. “I voted against it because it was devaluing a position that’s held in high regard. “I’m perfectly happy with my salary, that’s not why I’m in this role. No matter the pay I would absolutely honour this role and do it no matter what.” With a fifth Cambridge councillor added to the table this year the money pool provided by the central government Renumeration Authority had to be juggled. Councillors opted for $43,300 for their deputy mayor and $33,300 for themselves. “I think we were all expecting a pay cut, so it came as a surprise as

we began to look at the options.” Instead of a general decrease across all salaries, councillors voted for an option which would increase councillor salaries and significantly reduce the deputy mayor salary. Stolwyk described it as “pure coincidence” that the pay cut came right after a female moved into the role and dismissed the idea of a “gender pay gap”, and said she was “perfectly happy with everything” around the council table. “We’re stuck in this uncomfortable position of voting for our own salaries,” she said. During the meeting former deputy mayor Graham Webber, still a Waipa councillor, described

the renumeration committee process as “a very archaic way of working things out”. “There’s no relevance to the workload,” he said, ultimately voting in favour. When he was deputy mayor Webber received 65 per cent more in salary than that of a standard councillor – 25 per cent more for chairing a council committee, and 40 per cent more for being deputy mayor. Though not a chair of a committee, as deputy mayor Stolwyk will receive 30 per cent more than a standard councillor. “That’s okay, this is a democracy and the decision I accept,” said Stolwyk. “It is a great honour to

have been sworn in as the Deputy Mayor, no matter what the pay rate. “My drive and enthusiasm for this role will not change.”

Driver testing to return? By Sophie Iremonger

It appears there could be a light at the end of the tunnel for the hopeful return of practical driver license testing in Cambridge, with NZTA announcing it would undertake a review in the next financial year to consider where driver testing services are allocated across the region. It’s a welcome result for learner drivers in Cambridge after the service was removed in 2012 due to the Government’s new Safer Journeys strategy, requiring a more complex driving test. It needed, in part, “multiple lanes and a minimum level of traffic to achieve the level of challenge required”, NZTA’s Acting Director of Regional Relationships Ross I’Anson said. When the Cambridge section of the Waikato Expressway opened in December 2015, State Highway 1 traffic was diverted out of town, and the town itself grew, acquiring traffic lights and access to multiple lanes. It meant Cambridge seemed to ‘tick the boxes’ for what was required for the new restricted drivers licence test, even more so than other towns already providing the test. And so Waipa Mayor Jim Mylchreest began correspondence with the NZTA requesting the testing service return to Cambridge, but was denied after a series of emails and letters. “Initially their stance was that there wasn’t sufficient difficulty in getting a licence in Cambridge, saying there’s no traffic lights and all of those sorts of things for the test,” Mylchreest explained. “Now there’s no technical reason why they can’t. “Effectively they said they’re satisfied

Driving instructor Sheryl Moffat

there’s enough places near Cambridge for people to go and get their licence. I completely disagreed with that. “Every piece of correspondence I’ve had with (NZTA) over the last couple of years was saying they won’t reintroduce driver testing back to Cambridge, so I’m really pleased to hear they’re reviewing it.” It comes as good news to Cambridge’s learner drivers. Currently they’re required to not only organise a ride to the next town, but sit the test in an unfamiliar environment. “We started practicing here, and then found out they have to do the testing in Te Awamutu, or Hamilton or Morrinsville, so then we had to drive over to Te Awamutu to practice, which means more costs, and we have twins so we get double!” said Cambridge dad

Andrew Claridge. “It would definitely make it a lot easier for people to do it in Cambridge,” said daughter Daisy. “And there would be more spaces to book,” twin sister Ciara added. “We booked our test online and we could see it usually takes quite a while, there’s quite a lot of back log. It would open up more spaces and we wouldn’t have to travel so far.” “All of my students feel it would be far better for them to have their test done in Cambridge,” said Cambridge driving instructor Sheryl Moffat, from Brighteye Driving School. Her sympathies especially laid with the St Peter’s boarding students, who didn’t have any parents in town to drive them over to sit their test. She already does a “mock test” with her students in Cambridge, and believed the town was more than capable of providing the level required for the test. She pointed out that while Cambridge does have traffic lights, towns like Te Awamutu, Tokoroa and Morrinsville – where testing is carried out – do not have traffic lights. She regarded the move out of Cambridge as a bad decision. “I feel that they need to give a truthful explanation to Cambridge residents of why.” Mayor Mylchreest suggested at the very least, a mobile testing station could rotate around the communities which don’t have practical licence testing. “It seems it’s just an unwillingness to look at ways of doing it,” he said. “From council’s perspective we’ve definitely been trying, lobbying and offering assistance to make it happen. We’re just as grumpy as the rest!”

Free flights for quick Aussie horses

Cambridge Raceway is luring Australian raiders to compete in their two feature races over summer with the chance of free travel home. The first Australian-based runners home in Turf Bar Flying Mile Trot Christmas Eve and the McMillian Equine Feeds Flying Mile Pace on January 10 will receive complimentary flights home flying IRT. Both races carry a $50,000 purse. “We would love to have some international competition in our two biggest races of the season,” said Cambridge Raceway CEO Dave Branch. “We think it’s a realistic possibility this year with several Australian runners likely to be in the region for the IRT Inter Dominion races already.” Australian-based runners competing at Cambridge Raceway, outside of the bi-annual Harness Jewels meeting, are rare. However, Victorian-based Kiwi Brent Lilley did train Kyvalley Blur to win Turf Bar Flying Mile Trot two years ago. The McMillian Equine Feeds Flying Mile Pace has never been won by an Australian horse but its honour roll includes Young Quinn, Delightful Lady, Christian Cullen, Homes DG, Elsu, Auckland Reactor and Lazarus. Meanwhile, Waikato Bay of Plenty Harness have purchased the lease of The Clubhouse Sports Bar and Café, at Cambridge Raceway, where it races. “Cambridge Raceway had been leasing The Clubhouse to outside operators for the past 11 years,” Branch said. “We’ve developed a strategic plan with the help of our accountants Deloitte Hamilton and during that process we identified the re-purchase of The Clubhouse lease as a key opportunity to drive revenue. “This purchase gives us full control of the on-course experience for our patrons, creates synergies with our current bar operation and as an already profitable business it creates a great platform for us to grow off.” Waikato Bay of Plenty Harness will take over the lease on December 10, Branch said it would be business as usual at The Clubhouse until mid-January when a complete re-brand and interior upgrade will take place.

What a waste...

The lights stayed on in Tamahere for almost a fortnight – and it’s down to a burnt out relay in an electrical box, and what would appear to be some slow work. A group of about 20 lights over State Highway One stayed on from about November 13 and were still burning power when this edition went to press.

Deck the halls for December Nova Health By Sophie Iremonger

While some may simply staple a row of fairy lights across their front porch, others go all-out with their annual Christmas displays, setting up reindeer, snowmen or even baby Jesus on their front lawn. It’s a practice that results in a shared enjoyment as families wander through the neighbourhood at night to see the Christmas glow. The best and brightest houses are listed on the Waipa Christmas Light Trail, and residents can still register at www. blackfox.nz/xmas. People’s Choice voting will open on December 6. The Young family were the winners of last year’s People’s Choice award for a distinguished display in front of their Moore St home in Leamington. “It doesn’t actually take that long,” said Emma Young, who along with husband Kerry and some help from daughters Deanna and Natalie, could finish their setup in just two or three nights “if we just get stuck-in and get it done”. Looking over her extensive collection of Christmas decorations, Emma said they planned on adding “something new” this year and had already bought a blow-up Santa for the display. All going well, the plan was to have it set up by the second weekend of December. She confirmed the big snowman would make a return this year. “Lots of people

loved the snowman, and it stood out during the day too.” The display includes reindeer, a snowman, a Christmas tree made from tyres and thousands of lights. “I think sometimes more is better,” she said when asked how to set up a good Christmas display. “The more you’ve got to choose from, the more impact it makes. “We’ve just kept adding to the collection as we go along.” This will be the fifth year the Youngs

have turned their front lawn into an allout Christmas wonderland. She confirmed they had entered the Waipa Christmas Lights Trail again this year and would keep their lights on most nights until 11pm. “We love sitting out here and seeing the people walking past, and sometimes the kids will have lollies they go out and give people. “It’s just nice, for the enjoyment that people get out of it.”

The Young family home on Moore St won “People’s Choice” last year as part of the Waipa Christmas Light Trail.

on a fast track

A Cambridge company has qualified for the Deloitte Fast 50 for the third year in a row. Nova Health placed 42nd on the New Zealand top-50 list, which celebrates the country’s fastest growing businesses. Young entrepreneurs Andrew McCathie and Sam Mackenzie bought the business in 2015, and their rapid success has led to the company now serving nine DHB catchment areas, including Auckland, Bay of Plenty and Waikato. As a 24/7 business, the healthcare agency matches client requirements with specialised staff – clients being hospitals, rest-homes and private in-home care patients. Growth comes with its own set of challenges, they said, the biggest being the demand for registered nurses. But the introduction of an IT system had vastly improved this process. This year the company launched a phone application which allows staff to sign timesheets, update availability and see booked shifts. “This has helped save our staff time, reduce paper consumption, improve communication and provides a more accurate time record,” said Mackenzie. “Most of our staff are lifestyle workers. They want the ability to work in different places, at times that suit them,” said McCathie. “Through the use of innovative IT we manage to get the best of both worlds for our clients and staff.” Canterbury agricultural business Smart Membrane Solutions topped the list.

Regional council committees set

Waikato Regional Council has created a new committee with a focus on climate change. It’s one of a number of changes to the council’s committee structure introduced to better fit the era, says news Waikato Regional Council chair Russ Rimmington. “As a council there has already been a strong focus on climate change, but this groundbreaking new committee recognises that this is a global issue with local consequences,” he said. Climate Action is one of four new committees in the dozen formed, the others are Freshwater Action, Infrastructure and Special Projects and Regional Connections. “This means the work previously planned and monitored by the Integrated Catchment Management Committee has been reassigned to specialist committees of council to complete the significant volume of work expected of us,” Rimmington said. The Transport Connections Committee is not “just about buses”, said Cr Rimmington. “It will look at bringing the region up to speed in the way we move people around.” Fresh water remains the number one environmental issue for Waikato residents and is a priority for central government. During an extraordinary meeting of council this month councillors also decided to disestablish the catchment and drainage committees which had comprised nominated community and partner agency representatives. Opportunity has been created to grow the experience of some newly elected councillors in selecting the committee chairs and deputies. Pamela Storey will chair the Strategy and Policy Committee, with third term councillor Tipa Mahuta deputy. Councillors voted to appoint Angela Strange chair of the Regional Connections Committee, with Jennifer Nickel voted chair of the Climate Action Committee and Denis Tegg the deputy.

Hugh Vercoe, previously a MatamataPiako mayor and ex-chair of the Waikato Mayoral Forum, remains as chair of the Regional Transport Committee and member of the Waikato Civil Defence Emergency Management Joint Committee. Second term councillor Barry Quayle will chair the Finance and Services Committee; third term councillor Kathy White remains as chair of the Environmental Performance Committee; Fred Lichtwark, now in his second term, will chair the Freshwater Action Committee; Stu Husband, re-elected for a third term, will chair the Infrastructure and Special Projects Committee. Rimmington will chair the CE Employment and Remuneration Committee, Regional Partnerships Committee, and Healthy Rivers Wai Ora Committee. Details of the new committee structure can be found at waikatoregion.govt.nz/ committees-and-councillors.

Sanson to lead forum Allan Sanson will chair Waikato Mayoral Forum, which includes mayors and the regional council chair. The Waikato District mayor beat Hauraki’s Toby Adams to the post 5-3 during a meeting in Hamilton on Monday, Sanson is the longest serving mayor in the region and has previously held the chair’s role. Adams was elected unopposed as the forum’s deputy chair. Alan Livingston had chaired the forum and Waikato Regional Council until his retirement from local politics in the October 2019 elections. The forum, established in 2012, is an informal gathering of Waikato’s council leaders to share ideas and look at how councils can work together. The forum is next due to meet in February 2020.

Library initiative extended

Lined up and ready to go – participants at last week’s Reboot at Cambridge’s Lake Te Kō Utu.

By Viv Posselt

A Waipa Libraries initiative to encourage people in Cambridge and Te Awamutu to become more active has proved so successful that elements of the programme will be continued. “Get Active November” launched at the beginning of the month with a view to familiarising residents with activity-centric clubs and groups available in the region. The initiative was a pet project of Waipa Libraries event organiser Dee Atkinson. She kicked off November with a Community Club Night at Cambridge Library at which demonstrators from various groups showcased local sports clubs and activity providers. It included demonstrations by Cambridge Cruisers Rock ‘n Roll, Camkada Judo Club and the Cambridge Scottish Dancing Society. Activities throughout the month in both Cambridge and Te Awamutu featured nine different events that included yoga, Latin dance, pilates and Zumba, and a Ladies Running/Walking Reboot which catered for new and current runners and walkers keen to enjoy the activity in a social environment.

All the classes provided a taster of what is available with the option of taking further classes if required. The Ladies Running/Walking Reboot sessions proved popular enough to warrant continuing. “We have decided to continue them every Thursday from 6.15pm,” said Dee. “Anyone interested in joining the group can contact the library, Cambridge Athletic Club or Fat Bottomed Girls Cambridge.” Describing the initiative as a success, Dee said the idea had been to show how people can get active in fun and interesting ways. “It is important that we encourage people from all ages and groups to get involved with their community groups and meet other locals. Patrons tried various classes and got into the spirit of ‘Get Active November’, which is what we were hoping for. “The library has books for anyone wanting more background to each of the activities they tried. If anyone missed a class, we are more than happy for them to get in touch. We can provide them with class information.” More information is available from www. waipalibraries.org.nz.

We’ve built plenty of dream homes, but none like this...

LAST WEEKEND, RPS HOMES BEGAN BUILDING AN OUTDOOR PLAYHOUSE TO PROTECT A BRAVE, WEE GIRL FROM SUNLIGHT.

Young Tiri has a blood disorder that makes her allergic to visible light. The disorder is called Erythropoietic protoporphyria and it affects only about $5,000 people worldwide.

LIKE BOILING WATER

When Tiri is exposed to light (sunlight or artificial light) the worst symptom is the sensation of her skin burning, which doctors have described as being at a level akin to having boiling water poured over her. Exposure to light can also damage her organs and there’s no known cure.

BUT TIRI WANTS TO PLAY OUTSIDE......

RPS can build your dream home too!

For some time, Tiri has wanted her own playhouse, a space where she and her friends can have outside fun in safety. When RPS heard about Tiri’s situation, we knew we could help: we could build that dream playhouse for her.

NOT YOUR ORDINARY PLAY HOUSE

Evoke did an amazing job with designing “Palace Tiri” but great designs also need the input of others to become reality and our building partners stepped up to help us create Tiri's dream playhouse.

ALMOST FINISHED

We’ve almost finished Tiri's dream house. One moreweekend should do the trick. Then the shade sails can be completed and after that, Tiri can play outside as much as she likes (or until Mum calls her in for dinner!)

IF YOU HAVE LAND, we can design and build your dream home specifically for your section. If you can dream it, we can bring it to life. Or if you prefer MAXIMUM EASE AND CONVENIENCE, RPS Homes has flexible House & Land Package to suit your budget. TALK TO NEIL THIS WEEKEND at our show home at 14 Matariki Terrace, Ngaruawahia from 11.30am to 1pm

Art exhibition a hit The Cambridge Society of Arts annual exhibition attracted hundreds of viewers to the St Andrews Church hall, with over 230 people having their say for the “People’s Choice” award. Wilma van Veen was named the winner for her painting “New Shoes”. This month’s exhibition, featuring artwork by amateur and hobby artists from the wider Cambridge area, was held in conjunction with an exhibition by the Cambridge Camera Club. Professional photographer Megan Maloney was invited to judge the entries, and chose Tina Tait, Lindsay Muirhead, Lou Kibby, Julie Sainsbury and Fred Matthys as the”Honours” recipients and “honourable mentions”. Members from both clubs made sales throughout the weekend. “All in all the exhibition was very interesting and showed how many talented and artistic people we have

Christmas gift or decoration, volunteers Gail Blackwell and Val Nixon say. “It’s also where visitors can enjoy a genteel cup of tea or coffee in fine china and partake of homemade Christmas cake or shortbread. In other words, just the tonic for those looking for some genuine Christmas spirit.” The range of gifts and decorations will include table centres and wreaths, and decorations for the tree and around the house. The festivities will raise funds for charities including the Kids First Whanau Centre, a residential programme for women and children, True Colours and the Hamilton Foodbank. Previous festivals have contributed a combined total of more than $400,000 for a range of charities. The festival also includes carol services in the church at 10.30am and 1.30pm daily led by school choirs and Tamahere musicians. The monthly Tamahere Market will be held next from 8am to 1pm on December 21.

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. 55 Victoria Street, Cambridge (between BNZ & LJ Hooker)

Glenys Waterhouse weighed just 1lb 13oz when she was born – that’s less than 200g under a kilogram. Said to be New Zealand’s smallest surviving baby, the tiny scrap wrapped in cotton wool and fed with an eye dropper fought tenaciously, yet nothing of that hazardous start characterised the life Glenys went on to lead. After her farewell service on November 14, she was carried from St Andrew’s Church in a bright yellow casket topped with colourful blooms. That single gesture, together with memories shared by family and friends and the music she selected for her farewell, spoke volumes about a woman known as much for her style and flair as she was for her vocal prowess. Glenys was said to have been an emotional, imaginative child, one who declared her first ice cream cone to be the ‘nectar of the gods’. She was also genetically-gifted, with a pianistmusician father and soprano mother who encouraged her musical training from an early age; she was apparently mesmerised by her first concert. Such was her talent that Glenys was accepted as a student of Dame Sister Mary Leo, a New Zealand nun known for having trained some of the world’s finest sopranos, including Dames Malvina Major and Kiri Te Kanawa. The association Glenys forged with Sister Mary

spanned decades. At 16, Glenys met 19-year-old optometry student Peter Waterhouse. After a few years apart while Peter worked in Melbourne, during which time they exchanged letters daily, the young sweethearts finally married in 1953 and began their life in Cambridge. Three children followed; once Glenys was past the busy early years of motherhood, she returned to her singing training, going on to gain a distinction in her FTCL (Fellow of Trinity College, London) examinations. Teaching singing and directing choirs filled her life – there were many at her farewell who had been taught by Glenys. There was a period of mourning after she lost her husband in 1977, but she fought the clouds away and returned to live ‘a different version of her life’. She had two homes built in Cambridge, continued teaching and steered the St Andrew’s Church Choir to win awards; she directed a mass presentation of her beloved Handel’s Messiah, and found inspiration in choral church music, Quire Riversong and various community choirs. Glenys was still teaching into her 80s. Her achievements were numerous, her passion for music and her deep faith were matched in kind by her love of bold, bright clothes and a luminous style that certainly got her noticed. It was a sense of flair described by a grand-daughter as one where ‘less was definitely not more’. One of her children recalled her gritty

FAITH IN CAMBRIDGE

Christmas is coming... Some say NO! Some say YAY! By Jeff Parker Whatever your response, isn’t it interesting how each year seems to go by quicker than the one before! Some say it’s psychological – each year is a percentage of your life so 1 year for a 5 year old is 1/5th of their life and it seems to go by slowly. If you’re 52 like me (how did that happen?) it’s one 52nd of your life – and it goes in a flash! Others would say it’s more about the relentless busyness of modern life. There’s always more to do, places to be, people to see, posts to like, or not like, comments to leave, you get the picture. A standout thought for me is that the seeming speed with which the days, months and years pass can so easily cause us to miss out on the value of special moments and special days. The birth of our first child was a special moment in our family history just over 11 years ago. I was in awe. I had to stop myself from going up to complete strangers and telling them “hey I’m a dad!” It was an exciting day to say the least. But how easily in modern life can busyness and pressure crowd in to devalue the celebration of those special days

and they can become, just another busy event to organise and get through. Christmas can be like that. The busyness and often the stress and expectation of others at this time of year can cause us to wish Christmas away, or just survive it rather than really taking the time to enjoy the significance of a day that comes around every year, but actually never loses its significance. Christmas Day is a day of hope, a day of love, a day when as a culture we, even if for a short time – stop and recognise the value in every person, the value of family, the value of friends and community. This all stems from the heart of the message of the one who was born on Christmas Day. It’s been said ‘Jesus is the hope of the world’. I’ve found that hope is not just for the ‘world’ but for me personally. So this Christmas, amongst the busyness and pressures that will probably come my way, I want to make sure I stop long enough to enjoy and celebrate a special day – and if possible pass on some of that Christmas Hope to others. I hope you’ll do the same.

Make Te Awa go green By Celine Kearney

The Te Awa cycleway Karapiro to Ngaruawahia is surely a green corridor opportunity which would greatly benefit biodiversity and people. While this is a cycleway, walkers will use it just as much, if not more, if it is an inviting, interesting area to walk in. I can’t think of another urban, 65km walk in New Zealand. On summer evenings walks would be popular, the bonus being maybe spotting a long tailed bat flitting along the river bank. It would, however, be a walk for all seasons greatly benefiting our local tourism. It would also improve the health of the river, offset carbon emissions, help with flood control, be good for our mental health, help combat air pollution and provide an educational environment. At present the riverbank ‘bush’is privet,

honeysuckle and a few tree ferns. The walk is pleasant but with farmland on one side and weedy ‘bush’ on the other – there are no bellbirds, few tui and no shade. We would need to get rid of the weeds and pests, re-forest the river reserve with native trees and restore the ecosystem by strategic planting to provide food for native birds all year round. Exotic trees to help with nectar supply plus shade trees could be planted in picnic areas. A group of tagasaste trees would bring in flocks of Kereru. We know how to do this! Maungatautari is pumping birds into our area, Maungakawa could do the same. A green corridor would allow native birds to establish and stay in town all year. The track goes away from the river in several places but where it does follow the river we can make the environment a special place for us and for wildlife.

We can bring more tui – and bellbirds to the cycleway, says Kearney.

Make a difference this Christmas By Steph Bell-Jenkins

Act of Kindness is encouraging Cambridge people to get creative, spread some cheer and make a difference this festive season. Making cards for those in need is one “really simple way people can do something kind and meaningful this Christmas”, says AOK founder Rebecca Broadbent. The charitable trust is hosting a Christmas card making morning for families, with all materials supplied free, at Cambridge library on Saturday, November 30 from 10am11.30am. Participants are asked to bring a nonperishable food donation for the Salvation Army food bank. About 40 cards will go to sick children who will be spending Christmas in Waikato Hospital; others will be used for three rest home visits AOK is running in December. “Our rest home visits are a fun, easy way to brighten the day of elderly residents,” Rebecca said. “December visits are particularly special because the children put up decorations and give out cards. A few times we’ve had people saying it will be the only Christmas card they’ll receive that year which is sad, but also heart-warming, because if it’s the only one on their table at least it’s really bright and fun and full of love.” Families with children under five can register for the visits, happening from 10am11am on December 4, 12 and 13, at www. actofkindness.co.nz. For those wanting to help in their own time, AOK has placed a Sending Love dropbox at Cambridge Library where people can post Christmas cards to those in need. Sending Love is “about people and communities coming together to make a festive gesture towards another person who may experience loneliness over Christmas”.

People can buy or make a card, write “a message full of love” inside, pop it in an unsealed envelope and leave it in the dropbox. This year AOK is also promoting the global Giving Tuesday Kids movement, which encourages young people to “take action around causes they care most about”. Rebecca is encouraging local schools to get involved by carrying out a project that makes a difference to others, such as collecting food items or toiletries for people in the community. “It’s just building awareness around being generous and it’s a great opportunity to show everyone has the power to make change in their community and get children leading at the forefront,” she said.

Christmas Special

Competing at Equitana Auckland on Saturday, Natasha Brooks flew through the flags aboard Twerk to take victory in the Harrison Lane Grand Prix. The Cambridge rider had two in the 13-strong class – her purpose-bred warmblood thoroughbred cross Twerk and her brother Nick’s Versace C. A tight-turning indoor track tested the combinations with eight coming back for the second round. Clear in the opener were Natasha with both Twerk and Versace C, Samantha Peters (Cambridge) aboard Caesar NZPH, teen Leeshelle Small (Auckland) on Glenbrooke Archie Bunker, Elmo Jackson (Auckland) with Fairview Animation, and Lucy Olphert on her home-bred mare Eve Saint Laurent. Joining them in the second round were eight-faulters Glen Beal (Te Kauwhata) aboard All Expenses of Renton and Samantha Matthews (Cambridge) with Adloo Annabelle.

The planks at the last in the second round proved the undoing of a few including Natasha aboard Versace C who came flying into the fence after slicing corners where there seemed to be no space, only to pick up four faults but still be good enough for fourth.

Ally Wollaston won the Criterium National Championships in Christchurch last weekend as one of the very few 18-year-olds competing in the elite race. The success of cycling seems to run in the family, with older sister Nina winning silver at the Para-cycling Road World Cup in Canada at the front of a tandem bike with visually and hearing impaired rider Amanda Cameron, and second-oldest sister Claudia working with the NZ track team as a performance analyst to help riders slice milliseconds off their times. Ally, a St Peter’s School graduate and Cambridge resident trains six days a week and is studying a law degree at the

University of Waikato. “If I get injured or if I have a bad crash, my cycling career could be over in a matter of seconds. Studying something I enjoy gives me options if I need them and I am really enjoying having something outside of cycling to focus on.” But Ally isn’t taking her eye off the prize, determined to pursue a pathway in the sport if she can. The Hillary Scholarship Programme had made a big difference in achieving that while still working on her degree. Her next assignment is representing New Zealand at the Cycling World Cup.

Cyclists go back to school

Students at Tamahere Model Country School and Hautapu School have met some of New Zealand’s top track cyclists ahead of their school class visits to the Tissot UCI Track World Cup in Cambridge next Friday. Current omnium world champion Campbell Stewart and former individual pursuit world champion Jordan Kerby spoke at Tamahere Model Country School’s assembly, while Vantage New Zealand women’s endurance riders Nicole Shields and Emily Shearman visited students at Hautapu School. Both schools are participating in the Tissot UCI Track World Cup Schools Programme which sees students invited to watch a session of racing. “One of the greatest benefits of hosting a World Cup at home is being able to get kids along to watch a sport they may never have seen before,” said Cycling New Zealand CEO Jacques Landry. “While many kids ride bikes for fun, not many realise that

Magic touch

it’s such a great sport to become involved with – whether that’s track, road, mountain bike or BMX. Exposing them to this elite level racing is all about inspiring them to keep riding bikes,” he said. Tamahere students’ highlight was seeing Campbell Stewart do a track stand up on their school stage, while some students at Hautapu lifted one of the Vantage New Zealand team’s track bike to test its weight and tried on the team’s special edition Kask helmet. Shearman and Shields spoke about their experiences as professional cyclists, what inspired them to get into cycling, and what the students can expect when they see them ride on the Avantidrome track. Freddie Quinn, 9, from Hautapu School was pleased that the riders had visited his school. “It was awesome to hear the cyclists talk. They gave advice and really good information,” he said. Hautapu students impressed the pair with questions, including what speed achieved, what they did to warm up and how much training they did. The World Cup event is high stakes for New Zealand riders, with World Championship, and ultimately, Olympic qualifying points, on the line. Teams from over 40 countries

are expected to attend, with some of New Zealand’s toughest rivals indicating they will send strong teams to New Zealand to contest the points. The Tissot UCI Track Cycling World Cup is 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.

FRIDAY NOVEMBER 29, 2019

‘Tis the season to be judicious

Enjoy yourself this festive season. The lead up to Christmas can be hectic so try and make it through the season with your health intact. It can be a real challenge to eat wisely, resist tasty temptations and party indulgences. There are ways to balance the stress, the waistline and the excesses.

Eat wisely

Exercise

Although it’s easy to let your usual fitness routine slide over this period, try not to abandon exercise entirely. Finding time for your regular regime in the midst of all the busyness may not be possible, so try some short intense bursts of exercise. Just a half an hour’s exercise per day is enough to keep fit. Excessive eating and lack of physical activity are the main causes for weight gain over this time. Go on family walks or bike rides and encourage activity.

Relax

Christmas excitement is often a source of stress. To lessen the pressure over this time, avoid making too many commitments. Prioritise what’s important and be prepared to lower your expectations, if you have to. Compile a to-do list, make a Christmas budget and stick to it. Don’t wait until the last minute to do your shopping and try to avoid shopping at peak times. Take time to step back and relax. Stress can interfere with the balance of good bacteria in the gut, leading to various health issues. Aim to have a calmer, stress-free Christmas by employing some relaxation techniques over the festive season, such as deep breathing, meditation or the use of calming essential oils.

MRI

ULTRASOUND

X-RAY

It's the season of good cheer. Whether it’s lunch with work colleagues or evening celebrations with friends, most of us tend to eat out more over the festive period. But it is possible to eat, drink and be merry without overdoing it. Although a one-off Christmas meal probably won’t make any difference to your health in the grand scheme of things, it's the before and after festivities that you may have to monitor. Choose healthy menu options, and eat and drink in moderation. Portion control is essential. A good helping of vegetables with your meal will add vitamins, minerals and fibre and help you towards your five a day. Just give the added butter, cheese sauce or salt a miss. Stay within the recommended guidelines for alcohol in-take, particularly if you are going to be socialising more than usual. Opt for sugar-free drinks, low-calorie mixers and lots of water.

Get enough sleep

Too many parties and not enough sleep can be detrimental to your health. Research shows that getting enough sleep can actually help you to keep off those festive kilos. Lack of sleep affects our appetite-regulating hormones, meaning that we feel hungrier the next day and are also more likely to crave calorie-rich, high-carbohydrate foods. In fact, a study by Columbia University found that when people are sleep-deprived they eat almost 300 calories more a day than when they have had adequate rest. To help reduce your cravings over the holidays, aim for a minimum of seven hours of sleep.

Tournament a “real coup” for Cambridge

By Steph Bell-Jenkins

While the Black Caps were crushing England in a commanding first test performance at Mt Maunganui on Monday, future cricket stars were making their own mark here in Cambridge. In a “real coup” for Cambridge Junior Cricket Club, the Northern Districts intermediate boys’ representative tournament was played at John Kerkhof Park this week, attracting eight teams from Northland, Counties, Hamilton, Waikato Valley, Bay of Plenty and Poverty Bay. “In the past this tournament has been played at the University of Waikato, so it’s really exciting for our club to have the tournament hosted at our grounds,” said CJCA chairperson Steve Carter. “It highlights that John Kerkhof park is now recognised as a premier location within Northern Districts for these type of events.” Carter said the club had put in a huge effort – with “incredible support” from Cambridge Junior Football Club – to create a new junior cricket ground at the Vogel St park, incorporating four new concrete pitches installed at the beginning of this year. “It’s all been part of our drive to make local cricket really familyfriendly a give it a real community feel,” he said. “One thing that makes the park so attractive as a tournament facility is that we’ve laid the pitches out close together so you can have four games going simultaneously and everyone can see each other, which creates a great

vibe.” He said it was unusual for a club to be able to host a major tournament. “Usually it’s an entire city or an association hosting an event like this and teams have to be distributed across multiple venues, so to have all the games here in one place makes our facility really attractive to tournament organisers. That’s good for our club and good for Cambridge, because we’ve got around 90 players arriving here needing food and accommodation this week.” Waikato Valley coach Lachie Holt agreed. “It’s really awesome to have this tournament at John Kerkhof; the facilities are really good and it’s cool to see such a new ground having such high-level cricket from all over the Northern Districts area,” he said. “It’s really cool to have a ground like this where all the teams can play and see each other at the same time.” This week’s tournament was a homecoming for Holt, a former local cricketer

who attended Cambridge High School from 2012-2016. Now living in Hamilton, he has just finished his training as a primary school teacher and may head overseas next year “to play a bit of cricket”. He said Waikato Valley had “a really good team this year” and it was great to see his players having fun and showing positivity on the pitch. This season’s Waikato Valley line-up includes three Cambridge players - bowling specialist Tom Rutter, wicketkeeper-batsman Baxter Smith and all rounder Ryan Metcalfe. Rutter goes to Cambridge Middle School and plays for the Cross Auto Electrical Cambridge team, while Smith and Metcalfe attend St Peter’s School. Results from the Northern Districts tournament, played between Sunday and Wednesday, were not available as this paper went to press, but will be posted at ndcricket. co.nz/tournaments.
