Racing’s plastic fantastic Work on the country’s first synthetic racetrack is set to start next month, the Cambridge News understands. The project – which could cost up to $70 million – will make the region a national pacesetter in racing, rowing and cycling. It is understood laying of the synthetic surface will commence in May 2020 and it could be in use three months later. Racing officials are reluctant to discuss details, but it is understood some information was provided at a meeting at the Cambridge Jockey Club this week. An all-weather, synthetic racetrack will replace the existing track at the Cambridge Jockey Club grounds on Racecourse Rd, home of New Zealand’s largest racehorse training facility with 800-1200 horses training there each

month. Once completed, it will become a regular facility for midweek race meetings. The News understands racing minister Winston Peters is preparing to announce funding approval for the new track surface. It comes as the Racing Industry Transition Agency (RITA) welcomed the Government’s introduction of the Racing Industry Bill - a major package of reforms to replace the Racing Act 2003. The Bill, which was introduced last week, had its first reading on Tuesday. RITA Chairman Dean McKenzie said the introduction of the bill is a significant milestone for racing and will help achieve the ambitious goals set by John Messara to ensure the sustainability of the racing industry. Racing contributes $1.6 billion to the economy and

provides 14,000 jobs. “Cambridge is leading in a lot of sporting areas and racing is one of them,” leading Cambridge trainer Shaune Ritchie, who works out of the Racecourse Rd training track, said. “We need a track that can handle the amount of horses that we’ve got coming through, we’re the biggest training centre in Australasia. “The racing industry is so important for the local town… already with Cambridge having those big studs, breeding a thousand horses – you need riders for those horses, you need fences, and that’s all supplied by the local community. And then clients come and stay in the hotels and motels during track work… so it’s all a big contributor for Cambridge, and it’s only going to get busier, especially with the races on.” Continued on page 3

With reference to the article recently published in the News regarding the desirability of planting along Te Awa cycle/ walkway: earlier this year Cambridge Tree Trust put a proposal to council staff for just such a project. We planned to plant about 70 trees, both exotics and natives, at intervals along the trail between the velodrome and the Gaslight Theatre. Tree Trust has the money to buy the trees, thanks to a recent award from the Legacy Trust, we have enthusiastic people ready and willing to clear and plant, and we believe this will be a most attractive addition to the cycleway. All we lack is the agreement of the council staff to proceed with the project. So far we have heard nothing from them. Jane Moodie Cambridge Tree Trust Cambridge

Plans for Cambridge

How about our new Council doing something about retaining Cambridge’s reputation as a safe town and New Zealand’s most beautiful. First let’s ban electric scooters on all Cambridge footpaths. It has been proven in Auckland that accidents to pedestrians (especially the elderly) increased dramatically following the introduction of electric scooters and consequently created a huge increase in ACC applications. Secondly, ban vaping in public places. It is not only rude but most unpleasant to have a vaper exhale clouds of white fog at you while in the CBD, public parks and children’s playgrounds. Vaping is legal and it does seem to assist people to desist from smoking cigarettes, but please, surely they can vape in private? I am confident 80% plus of Cambridge ratepayers would agree with the introduction of these local laws. So come on councillors, be brave, be avant garde - keep Cambridge as the New Zealand town where thousands aspire to live. Ian Thomas Cambridge *Editor’s note: As a result of a subbing error, Ian’s letter last week discussing renumeration for councillors carried a wrong surname.

Inching ahead

Many of your readers will be strongly in agreement with Hayden Woods’ letter regarding the Cambridge Pool expenditure hike-up...perhaps not so impressed with council’s reply, which smacks of ‘spindoctoring’. Of course we can but hope... nay, demand that expenditure costs on that project do not keep inching up, with this or that unforeseen and unplanned for expenditure working itself into the funding mix. Of course in most of these types of

BRIEFS council projects, and especially so in the likes of Cambridge, we have the really rich demographic pushing up the rates costs for the, not so well heeled. In these times of changing weather systems and the strains that puts on the old traditional funding models, the rich demographic is determined to ensure that council ratepayers pay for gold-plated facilities at every level, knowing that there will be much expenditure creep on most projects, so that projects themselves are ‘locked-in’ yet expenditure is not. Future proofing and responding to the financial challenges that climate change will demand of ratepayer funding, will continue to be ‘mild annoyance’ to the well heeled, but financial ruin to the not so well heeled. We need people like Hayden Woods to keep enlightening us on these issues, even though it is likely that those of us who agree with him will end up simply whistling into the wind, even as the evidence continues to stack up.

The greatest gift

With devastating bush fires, a measles epidemic, terrorist attacks and chaotic weather patterns., it’s easy to feel pessimistic as 2019 draws to a close. Despite the excitement and pleasure Christmas can bring with all its festivities and celebrations, it can be little more than a temporary distraction with no lasting satisfaction. As a result many people go into the New Year with a continuing sense of hopelessness and fear. Commercialism has robbed us of the true significance of the Christmas season. Christmas is a time for giving, but in our obsession with gift buying and receiving, we often miss the greatest gift of all. The costliest gift was given to the human race 2000 years ago, when God sent his Son into the world as a helpless baby, divinely conceived and the fulfilment of Bible prophecy - to be our Saviour. He grew up in humble circumstances, lived a sinless life, and then died on the cross as our substitute. Three days later he did the impossible by rising from the grave, thus defeating death and the power of evil. The true meaning of Christmas is hope and this hope is available to all those who believe that Jesus is the Christ, seek his forgiveness for their sin, and seek to live the way God directs us in the Bible. Christmas reminds us that God keeps his promises, that miracles do happen, and that his love never fails. Jesus Christ came to be our Saviour and he is our only source of real and lasting hope in this sad and troubled world. Julia Martin Cambridge

Park to reopen

The Thompson Street Playground in Leamington will be officially reopened in gala style on Sunday. Waipā District Council is inviting all Waipā residents to enjoy an afternoon of music, face painting, icecream and a sausage sizzle to celebrate the upgraded playground. Parks and reserves operations team leader, Matt Johnston, said work on the facility was expected to be finished in the coming weeks. The picnic will run from 11am to 2pm.

Parking warning

Waipā will be an “equal opportunity” parking zone during the busiest shopping time of the year. The district council says it will ramp up parking enforcement in the main streets of Te Awamutu and Cambridge this month. Senior enforcement officer Ken Danby said the move would help to ensure drivers had an equal opportunity to use prime parking spaces on Cambridge and Te Awamutu’s main streets. Drivers who ignore time restrictions on parking spaces in the towns will be liable for fines of up to $57.

Water checks

Monitoring of algae and bacteria is set to begin at outdoor swimming spots in Waipā. Waikato Regional Council will be checking for signs of E. coli, as well as cyanobacteria (the micro-organism that causes potentially toxic algal blooms), both of which can affect human health, through to the end of March.

Crossing to return

White lines on the western side of the pedestrian crossing on Cambridge’s Victoria St, near BP, will be repainted. The lines have been missing for the past week after asphalt works were carried out on the road.

Water restricted

Hamilton City Council led the way in the region by moving to “Water Alert Level 1” on Wednesday. It means sprinkler use in the city is limited to between 6am to 8am and 6pm to 8pm daily.

A team of 90 Cambridge Primary School students rode to the Avantidrome on Friday to check out the action as part of a World Cup leverage and legacy program.

World cup a boon for Waipa By Sophie Iremonger

The close proximity of the Avantidrome to Cambridge has been a factor in ensuring the economic success of hosting a round of the the Track Cycling World Cup. The event returned for a second time this year to Cambridge last weekend. “Accommodation was in high demand for the weekend and the one to two weeks leading up to the event, since many athletes had arrived in advance,” said Miff Macdiarmid, CEO of Destination Cambridge and the Cambridge i-Site. “Accommodation spilled over to beyond Cambridge due to the high numbers of

teams and support personnel.” She said it was a bonus for the region’s eateries and visitors enjoyed the Cambridge café scene in particular. “It was absolutely fantastic to showcase Cambridge, the athletes and support personnel are always blown away by not just the Avantidrome, but by the proximity of Cambridge and all it has to offer. Many other international velodromes are based in the middle of nowhere. Here the athletes are able to bike to the Avantidrome from their accommodation, bike to town safely on the Te Awa River ride, enjoy award-winning cafes, take in some beautiful road rides, and so much more.”

Residents also rode out to the event on the Te Awa River Ride, leaving from the Gaslight Theatre on Alpha St, including a contingent of 90 Cambridge Primary School students. “It was brilliant to see them all making the trip on two wheels and the children were apparently buzzing after the day of riding and watch the cyclists in the velodrome as part of the World Cup leverage and legacy program,” said UCI Track Cycling World Cup Marketing Manager Nicky Bowden. The cycling action has shifted from Waipa to Queensland this week as round five of the Track Cycling World Cup starts in Brisbane today. Round four of the six-part competition

Racing’s plastic fantastic

The synthetic track will be made from a sand and polymer binder with a fibre cushion surface and porous drainage base. It is understood part of the funding, $7 million, will be covered by the Government’s Provincial Growth Fund. The News understands civil works will commence next month and the first of site machinery, a plough, is due to be moved on it next week. Camex will be the civil contractor on the project, with Australian company Polytrack set to install the synthetic surface. Te Awamutu trainer Clayton Chipperfield was in full support of the project. “I think it’s a great idea, centralising all the stables in one spot and just having your 52 mid-week meetings on the one course every week, rather than travel all over the Waikato,” he said. “It would certainly make it a lot easier on the horses, the trainers, and staff.” It makes sense for the Waikato, he said, being a leading region for thoroughbred racing. “Obviously you’d still have your main premier meetings at Ellerslie, Matamata and Te Rapa, but the midweek meetings all in one spot would be ideal.” Some figures in the industry were unsure how horses would react to the synthetic surface, but Chipperfield – who rotates horses between summer and winter based on their wet or dry track preference

– could see the benefit. “With synthetic tracks you know what you’re racing on, you expect the same track every time you go to the races, you know what to expect. At the moment you have all sorts of tracks and they’re all different, some are absolutely terrible in winter. But at least with a synthetic track, an all-weather track, it’s going to be the same turf every time.” The Cambridge Jockey Club said it appreciated the support of leading stables around New Zealand which had recognised the need for a synthetic track at Cambridge. A feasibility study is also being conducted to look at the possibility of the Cambridge Jockey Club, the Te Rapa Racing Club and Te Awamutu’s Waipa Racing Club joining forces at a greenfield site, possibly in Cambridge, with state-of-the-art facilities and a ‘mega track’ of sorts being built. Cambridge Jockey Club President Bruce Harvey said the idea was still very much in the early preliminary stages and couldn’t provide too many details. “But we all agree the industry needs something new,” he said. “It’s just a matter of looking at the feasibility, crunching the numbers and seeing whether it’s doable.” The go-ahead on the project should be determined over the next few weeks, he said.

took place at the Avantidrome over Friday to Sunday, with over 500 riders and staff from 44 countries involved. The event was an economic boost to the Waipā and Hamilton districts, and spectators filled the Avantidrome seats at 75 per cent capacity across all six race sessions. Cambridge also hosted a round of 2018 – 2019 UCI Track Cycling World Cup in January, and looks poised to host another one in the 2020-2021 round. The Cambridge CBD saw an increase in foot traffic over the weekend and cafes were kept busy in the mornings over Saturday and Sunday. How the racing went – see Page 40.

Road closure Big lift in garden festival takings comms fail The New Zealand Transport Agency has acknowledged its communications were not good enough when it closed a section of State Highway 1 last week. The road was closed so police could check a crash scene from a previous crash – but the noon to 2pm Wednesday closure caught many motorists by surprise. Acting Waikato Transport System Manager, Rob Campbell said due to a miscommunication, communication to road users “did not meet our usual standards”. “While we provided information about the closure on our website and Facebook pages, and via the on-site traffic management, this was not enough to minimise disruption to motorists,” he said. Motorists were given no advanced warning via electronic signs. One motorist, driving from Matangi to Hinuera, complained that heavy truck and trailer units and horse transporters struggled to negotiate the alternative road through Horahora. “Being forced to drive right around Lake Karapiro was unbelievably ridiculous and inconvenient to everybody involved. “It was a miracle there wasn’t an accident on that route on Wednesday causing further delay and inconvenience,” she said. Campbell said the detour used was the official detour route in the event of a need to close State Highway 1 anywhere between the intersection of SH1 and Golf Road, on the southern edge of Cambridge, and the intersection of SH1 and Karapiro Road. “Unfortunately, this detour is not suitable for heavy vehicles and this was communicated through our social media channels and website. The detour route was manned by our contractors at both ends as well as at the intersection of Hydro Road and Maungatautari Road adjacent to the dam.” He said for the two hours of the closure, traffic count information indicated 2000-2600 vehicles would use that section of SH1. “Undertaking the closure at that time sought to minimise the number of people who were likely to be affected,” he said. But he acknowledged the communications issue and said the agency was looking into how it happened to ensure it did not happen again. “The Transport Agency apologises for any inconvenience caused and thanks motorists for their patience,” he said.

The second Rotary Cambridge Garden Festival held last month was an even bigger success than its inaugural predecessor and has raised more than $37,000 for charity. Rotarian and festival project leader Carey Church said 1210 tickets were sold for the 2019 festival, held on November 24. That number was up on ticket sales for the first Cambridge Rotary Garden Festival in 2018, where almost $30,000 was raised and distributed to three charities – the Rotary Club of Cambridge Charitable Trust, Cambridge Community House, and Victim Support. The event is Rotary Cambridge’s prime fundraiser. Information on the 2019 recipient charities will be released next year. Carey said response from attendees who had completed a post-festival survey had been overwhelmingly positive.

gardens, others want only ‘perfect’ gardens, so we will keep the variety going in future years. Those who had plants for sale sold out … survey respondents want more of those next year.” Most of the attendees were from Cambridge town itself (43 percent), with another 38 percent from outside Cambridge, and 20 percent from the wider Waipa/Waikato region. Next year’s festival is set down for Sunday, November 22; it will include houses as well as gardens. “There will be five to six houses to tour, plus six gardens, and there will be more food and refreshments, better maps, and more plants and garden art for sale than was available this year. We are also investigating if we can provide some sort of parking closer to the entrance for people with disabilities,” said Carey.

Road safety a priority, public say Good sorts get into By Sophie Iremonger

It was by far a record for any Cambridge public meeting organised by Louise Upston when almost 100 people packed into the Cambridge Health and Community Centre on Monday to share their views with opposition transport minister Chris Bishop on the Cambridge-Piarere stretch of State Highway 1. “I’m tired of consoling my students after closing the school due to fatal crashes. I’m tired of consoling our staff after yet another near-miss on State Highway 1,” Karapiro School principal Tina-Maree Thatcher said. Thatcher was one of several members of the school community who attended, along with residents and workers in the area, and Cambridge and Tirau residents who regularly use the corridor. “The amount of people we’ve pulled out of cars that shouldn’t be alive today, I don’t know how they survived,” said a resident living adjacent to the Karapiro

Louise Upston hosted National’s transport spokesperson Chris Bishop for a public meeting in Cambridge this week.

Rd – SH1 intersection. “It’s incidents like that we don’t even want to deal with.” Another man highlighted crash data along the stretch of road for the last six years – 101 minor crashes, 59 serious crashes and 26 fatal crashes, two of which were at the Karapiro Rd or SH29 intersections. “So it’s not just at the intersections, there’s issues along the whole way,” he said. The general consensus from the public was to have the expressway extended, but also have something done sooner. “We need a new expressway, but we need urgent action now to reduce the speed on the road and to create time for motorists to assess the risks on this fast stretch of road,” said Thatcher. Waipa councillor Philip Coles attended the meeting and confirmed plans are in the works with NZTA to install electronic speed reduction signs at the Karapiro Rd intersection in the new year. Bishop said he would “love to be able to say” that a new National government would begin the expressway extension project “on day one”. “But we can’t make those commitments because it takes time to do this.” He said the nationwide cancellation of roading projects by the Labour-led government had contributed to construction workforce shortages. “We want to scale up infrastructure significantly and get on with the job, but frankly we will have some challenges around workforce capability. “We are going to take to the next election a costed transport infrastructure plan, and we will specify the projects that we are going to get on with. That will give a pretty clear direction of where we’re going with it. “You will see from us early next year a funded programme of transport projects that we will be committing to, and you will see the pipeline and the general timeframe. “In the short term, Louise’s aim and my aim is to get as many people to sign her petition, get as much media attention and as much coverage as we possibly can, to at least force the government to bring the project forward or at least bring the funding forward so we can get on with it.”

Christmas spirit By Sophie Iremonger

The Salvation Army has provided food for about 70 families in the wider Cambridge area this month. A “Christmas Cheer” initiative involves churches and organisations together under the CCOSS banner – the Cambridge Committee of Social Services. The various efforts have all accumulated at the Salvation Army’s Cambridge headquarters on Williamson St, where an extensive food bank and toy supply is being organised for six dozen families. “There is a need out there that’s very real, if it weren’t for this they wouldn’t have a Christmas Day,” said Shaun Baker, Captain of the Salvation Army Cambridge branch. Last week Lions president Steph Dunsmore presented a $2000 cheque towards the cause. Cambridge Lions are aiming to raise $200,000 for the community this year – their highest in a year. The Salvation Army also visited St Peter’s School last week to collect a donation of over $5,700 raised by the school’s Swears house students at a school mufti day. The school’s other student houses Hanna and Thornton respectively raised over $10,000 for World Vision refugees in South Sudan, and over $10,000 for a sister school in Mvumi. The Cambridge Salvation Army is still accepting donations of nonperishable food items, money, and new, unopened toys towards the ‘Christmas Cheer’ cause.

CCTV project finally complete

The last of Cambridge’s seven CCTV cameras is in action at what is arguably the most important spot in town. A CCTV camera now sits perched over the Victoria St – Duke St roundabout, covering a notorious spot for crime in recent years. Stirling Sports, directly opposite the roundabout, suffered its fifth ramraid burglary in less than three years in late March this year. The burglaries ceased when Council put two large boulders in the garden out front, but crime continued in the area with several shoplifting incidents reported on Duke St and a smash-and-grab at Oxfords Clothing.

It’s a welcome addition for security in the area, retailers said, and it couldn’t come sooner after the camera installation was delayed by several weeks. Six CCTV cameras were installed in Cambridge in September and October, including three near the Hamilton Rd – Victoria St roundabout, one at the Queen St – Victoria St roundabout, one at the Cook St – Shakespeare St roundabout, and one linked to an electronic sign near the high level bridge roundabout, to warn oversized vehicles not to cross. The Duke St – Victoria St camera was also supposed to be installed during that time,

but a failed effort to attach it to a nearby building, a pole was brought in to hold up the camera instead. “This took a bit of extra time as we had to get the pole installed first,” a council spokesperson explained. The camera is now live and active, being monitored at the Te Awamutu police station by Comm Safe and volunteers on behalf of police. The new system, which includes cameras in Te Awamutu, comes with an annual running cost of just over $80,000, which mainly covers licencing and communication fees, as well as repairs, camera cleaning and power.

CSA features Woutersen works

The Cambridge Society of Arts (CSA) has a monthly feature artist on “The Wall” at The Painting Place on Thornton Rd, this month featuring Lea Woutersen. Wousteren has always had an interest in the arts, the CSA says, but it wasn’t until the children left home that she found the time to get inspired. She has been painting for 12 years and has done a variety of paintings including New Zealand and Tuscan landscapes, seascapes, people, animals, flora and fauna, and some abstracts. “It is nice to see other people enjoying my art and I feel really proud if someone chooses my work to decorate their home,” she said. The artist has been a member of the Cambridge Societyof Arts for almost 10 years. The CSA’s “Painting Place” is open on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings from 10am to 12pm. It includes a range of CSA - LANDSCAPE members’ art, as well as a LOGO monthly feature (LOCATION) artist on “The Wall”. It closes for the year on Lea Woutersen with her feature work on “The Wall” at The Painting Place. December 18.

‘Friends of Resthaven’ hit the target By Viv Posselt

It’s likely to become easier and safer to move mobility-affected residents at Resthaven Village and Care Centre next year. Final funds to purchase a new Cubro Hoist are in, meaning that its fundraisers, Friends of Resthaven, can bring the $10,000 project to fruition in time to mark the group’s 50th anniversary in 2020. The last-minute windfall from the Cambridge Lions ends two years of hoist-focused fundraising by the Friends of Resthaven. According to their secretary Alison Hucke, nurses and caregivers currently struggle to move residents safely with the outdated equipment at hand. “Having a new hoist that can easily transfer patients in and out of their wheelchair or bed, and can be moved from room to room, will be a godsend,” she said. “It will be much safer and kinder for both the residents and the staff members involved.” Friends of Resthaven made the hoist their major fundraising

project for their half-century, coming up in April. They take their fundraising cues from Resthaven’s requirements, often liaising with the occupational therapy department for needed equipment or materials. Their milestone anniversary is significant for new Friends of Resthaven chairman Philip Coles, and he plans to direct much of his attention towards raising the group’s public profile and growing membership. Philip has been embroiled in community affairs over the past nine years through his involvement with Cambridge Safer Community Trust, the Cambridge Tree Trust, Cambridge i-SITE and the Cambridge Community Board. He was recently elected as a Waipa District Councillor, and also has a long association with Resthaven. Friends of Resthaven started out helping raise funds to build the initial Resthaven complex. When the Cambridge Resthaven Trust took that over, Friends of Resthaven’s focus changed to fundraising to supply ‘extras’ for residents. Alison said the group

Skin Tightening

works to “improve their quality of life” through ongoing activities such as card-making, providing Christmas gifts, helping supply materials for the men’s shed, and the craft room, and raising funds for whatever else might be required. “It’s mostly small amounts of money we are dealing with … intended to make life a little nicer for our residents.” Philip Coles intends being as hands-on as possible during his year at the helm. “I want to grow relationships – with the residents, with the Trust Board and other boards, and with those groups and individuals in the community who support us. It’s an important time to expand our profile.” Friends of Resthaven treasurer Katharine Milson has also been involved with the complex for years. She said while the new hoist was a key project for the group’s 50th year, it was also important to look at growing membership in the longer-term. “We would welcome new members to the Friends of Resthaven group,” she said. “The

annual cost is $10 per individual and $15 per couple, and they can be of any age. We rely heavily on support from the community and as a fundraising network, we get involved in a range of different activities.” Anyone interested in finding out

more can contact Katharine Milson on 827 7550. In the meantime, donations of craft materials would be welcome. Alison Hucke (021 138 3341) said she would welcome card-making materials and old cards suitable for recycling.

Achievement House’s Christmas cracker of a party

The Lewis Team Wish Everyone a Merry Christmas and a Joyful and Safe Holiday Season OUR OFFICES WILL CLOSE ON MONDAY 23 DECEMBER 2019 AND RE-OPEN MONDAY 6 JANUARY 2020 (with a skeleton staff)

Experienced professionals. Local specialists. Quality advice. Cambridge | 07 827 5147 Hamilton | 07 848 1222 www.lewislawyers.co.nz

Achievement House welcomed the Christmas season last week with a cracking party spliced with great food, gift-giving by Santa and music provided by a group of Rotary rockers. A number of those employed through the House, plus staffers and volunteers gathered at Cambridge’s Wilson St premises for the party. The Cambridge Rotary Club-supported event saw food provided by town businesses, and music provided by Rotary’s own band, the Bruised Brothers. The band has been going for years and helps fundraise for Rotary by playing at retirement homes and other venues. Now in its 40th year of operation, Achievement House offers parttime employment and volunteer opportunities at its purpose-built facility to people with disabilities. Most of those coming through the doors are from Cambridge; a few are from Te Awamutu or Hamilton. They are given

a variety of appropriate work-related tasks which help develop employment skills, provide social interaction and build self-confidence. The objective, said Achievement House manager Neil Fynn, is to provide people with disabilities with occupational and social activities that allow them to gain a sense of purpose and achievement. The ages range from school-leavers to those of retirement age. “For the most part, they are engaged in the assembly, packaging and labelling of lightweight components for various businesses or industrial companies,” he said. “We have contracts with industry throughout the region and are extremely wellsupported by businesses in this region. Essentially, we are a local solution for local issues.” Achievement House chairman John Tarbutt said the numbers of people employed through the House had remained static over the past few years and described the continuing

community support for the programme as “fantastic”. “This is a way of giving people with a disability an opportunity to work with their peers, but equally to do something meaningful with their lives.”

MORTGAGE MATTERS

Why use a Mortgage Broker? By Gavin Lynch – Yes Mortgages In the present loan market, most lenders are changing their criteria in regards to what, how much and to whom they lend. This makes it even more important to use a mortgage broker so you know you are getting the right mortgage and right lender to suit your needs. I believe every client has a unique borrowing scenario and time needs to be taken with the client to understand and analyse this, so a correct lending plan and structure can be put in place to achieve goals. In this column, I want to explain briefly the role of the mortgage broker and what I can offer. The key role of the mortgage broker is to make the whole loan process easier for you, the client. This is possible because: I can look at all the lending options. I deal with more than 25 different lenders and work to find the best lender to suit your unique situation. • I can do all the ‘leg work’ with the lenders. • This saves you time and avoids pitfalls in getting a loan approved. • I can negotiate rates, fees, and legal contributions with certain lenders to obtain the best deal for the client. • I can meet at a convenient time and place for the client. • This can be in the home or workplace and after hours if need be. • I can advise on the best loan structure to suit the client’s need. And best of all using a broker is a free service in most cases. Now that has to be worth thinking about! If your looking for a mortgage, please give me a call and I can help you though the whole process. 55 Victoria Street, Cambridge (between BNZ & LJ Hooker)

FRIDAY DECEMBER 13, 2019

Hotel revamp take shape The $4 million upgrade of the Hamilton Airport Hotel contributes to resolving a “blindingly obvious” issue for the region, Hamilton’s mayor says. While the region is the fourth largest in the country for conventions, meetings and business events, its accommodation facilities are ninth in the country. “We absolutely know Hamilton and its Waikato neighbours are losing lucrative business due to a lack of high-end hotels. And we all know the challenges posed by big calendar events like National Fieldays when quality rooms are like hen’s teeth,” Paula Southgate said. Southgate and Waipa mayor Jim Mylchreest have both welcomed the upgrade which is well advanced. Guests inspected the revamped hotel at a function last week, viewing the refurbished conference facilities, which include a newly painted exterior and made-over gardens, a new kitchen and relocated reception. About half the 62 rooms have had compete makeovers. A revamped standalone bar and restaurant – Propeller – has already opened for business.

Waikato Regional Airport Ltd (WRAL) bought the hotel in January 2018 as part of its strategy to grow non-aeronautical revenue streams. It is managed on behalf of WRAL by Jet Park which already operates hotels in Rotorua and Auckland.

CAMBRIDGE NEWS | 11

WRAL is a council-controlled organisation owned by Hamilton City, Otorohanga, Waipā, Waikato and MatamataPiako District Councils. Its chief executive Mark Morgan said investment into the hotel was “perfectly timed” given the regional accommodation shortage and huge passenger growth into Hamilton airport. “…I’m absolutely confident this will help plug a significant gap,” Morgan said. “Over the last three years we’ve had a 26 per cent increase in passengers coming through the airport and there’s no sign of that slowing down. The fact is, more and more people are coming to our region and they all need somewhere to stay.” Hamilton & Waikato Tourism chief executive Jason Dawson confirmed there was already strong interest in the spruced-up hotel from the wider tourism industry, business sector and conference and events market. “The hotel is a fantastic addition to the region’s accommodation, event and conference inventory and will help meet the increasing demand for large-scale, commercial accommodation,” he said.

Twin trim for dad

By Sophie Iremonger

Cambridge twins Daisy and Ciara Claridge took to their dad’s beard with a set of clippers on Sunday. The pair hadn’t simply “had enough” of Andrew Claridge’s five-year-old beard – it was not a case of teenage angst or a radical way to farewell Movember – the girls were fundraising to go on the Spirit of Adventure youth sea voyage, as part of their endeavours to earn a Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award. “It was really surprising how quickly it was shaved off seeing as it took so long to grow,” said Ciara, Daisy adding, “He got a lot of sympathy from other bearded men who were browsing at the market.”

Two days after the public beard shave at The Barbershop Co on Duke St, their dad was still not used to it. “I keep looking in the mirror and seeing someone I haven’t seen for a while and keep trying to grab my beard but it’s not there.” He was bolstered by the many comments he’s since received about how young he looks. “I think he looks very handsome without his beard and he definitely looks a lot less like Santa,” said Daisy. The sisters have almost reached their fundraising target, raising $4409, thanks to support from their family, friends, community, and the Cambridge Lions. They have just under $600 left to

fundraise, for what will be a “trip of a lifetime”. “You can learn leadership skills, team building, and it shows you’ve committed yourself through all that time,” said Daisy. “I’m happy to lose the beard because they get the better out of it,” said Claridge. “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.” Donations can still be made at the fundraising page: givealittle.co.nz/ cause/shave-that-dad-for-spirit-ofadventure.

OPINION Cambridge Community Board chair Sue Milner and Waipā deputy mayor Liz Stolwyk will alternate to provide weekly updates for readers from today.

Festive season in full swing By Sue Milner

Cambridge Community Board started off well with the switch on of the Christmas tree at Victoria Square on Sunday night. It was good to see so many there for the countdown to lights on. The tree looks lovely at night and if you haven’t seen it, it’s well worth a wee visit after 9pm and judging by the reaction of the kids at the switch on, they will enjoy it too. The other festive event in town is the Christmas Festival and this year it’s all about Cambridge and all that goes on in our great town. The Festival shop is amazing and all the proceeds from the Festival go to local groups. Big thanks are due to the amazing women who spend many weeks each year preparing this Festival which not only attracts locals but also hundreds of visitors to our

Cambridge. Big thanks to the Chamber of Commerce members for placing the lovely decorations in our CBD, they really add to the Christmas Spirit. December 4 was the monthly meeting of the Cambridge Community Board. It was a busy night. Several members of the community spoke at the Public Forum which is always the first item on the monthly agenda. We heard from the Cambridge Pétanque group about their plans and hopes for a Pétanque Piste in Leamington, Bloom Collective on their plans for markets and perhaps outdoor film nights, a group of equestrians who would like to see bridle paths through the green belt; residents from Cambridge Rd who are having access issues to and from their properties due to Council work and Cambridge Rotary who are planning a recycling

project for the town and its residents. We also had updates on the work of The Cambridge Social Services Committee, and the Cambridge Tree Trust. It is always a privilege to hear from our residents and groups in the public forum and as a Community Board we will be working with them. The Board elected a deputy chairperson, Jo Davies-Colley and also appointed board members to liaise with community groups, such as the Tree Trust and the Cambridge Historical Society. Don’t forget Sunday is the ‘Picnic in the Park”, when the Thompson St playground will be reopened after it’s big refurbishment. It’s going to be fun for the whole family, and it’s great to see that the flying fox has been retained.

The thought of moving house overwhelming? The Move Managers office will be closed from 5:00p.m on Friday December 20th 2019 and will re-open on Monday January 13th 2020. Wishing you a very Happy Christmas And a safe New Year

Carollers stay dry

This year’s Carols by Candlelight events at the Monavale Homestead last Friday and Saturday nights attracted between 300 and 400 carollers. The event was organised by Capernwray Bible School and director Peter Bichan said both evenings were “lovely”, with none of the threatened showers arriving. The theme of the event was a reminder of the meaning of Christmas, Bichan said. “How the many wonderful traditions we

have can actually become distractions to the real meaning of Christmas?” Bible school students performed a drama skit which gave a modern take on the theme, interlaced with carols the audience could sing along to. Tomorrow on the Cambridge and districts Christmas calendar is the Karapiro Rowing Christmas Regatta and the Bloom Collective Christmas Market from 4pm to 8pm at the Wordsworth St domain in Leamington

This is the final for 2019 in the Cambridge Museum series intended to seek more information around the museum’s collection of old photographs.

Maternity home memories sought It references the old maternity hospital in Cambridge, which operated from 1962 through to 1988 on the corner of Hall and Taylor streets.

Inia Te Wiata collects his award and trophy from Competenz training advisor Allen Bryce.

Hautapu Fonterra apprentice Inia Te Wiata says he’s not used to being in the limelight. So, he was happy enough just to be nominated for a national engineering award. “…we celebrated that – but to win was amazing,” he said. Te Wiata has won the Stuart Tolhurst Memorial Award for 2019. The award remembers Stuart Tolhurst, widely acknowledged as the New Zealand expert in rolling element bearing design and application. Industry Training Organisation Competenz has co-ordinated the award since 2015. It is open to New Zealand maintenance engineering apprentices in their third or fourth year of training. Te Wiata was nominated by Competenz training advisor Allen Bryce. “It is Inia’s attitude that impresses me most. He’s an all-round excellent guy, hardworking and reliable, and the skills of the maintenance trade have become a passion for him.” The father of three may not be used to the limelight – but his whanau is. His grandfather, Inia, was the great Māori baritone, his father, also Inia, was a master carver, The Waikato-based mechanical maintenance engineering apprentice will qualify in early 2020, having amassed 8,000 hours of training under his belt. He is completing his four-year apprenticeship at

Fonterra’s Hautapu factory. He began his apprenticeship to create a better future for him and his family, one that would give them more choices. He celebrates being paid while learning and wants to continue to get his Level 5 and boiler ticket. “My wife and I both signed up for training. She’s now a qualified social worker, and shortly I will be a qualified maintenance engineer. While it was often tough during those years, the rewards have made it worth it.” Before starting at Fonterra, he worked at a food processing plant. He says he had no idea what maintenance engineering was, but that changed when he saw an advertisement in the paper. “It’s great that Fonterra is able to help people like me make a fresh start. I wanted to change my career to something that could provide more options. So, I applied – I was a lot older than most of the applicants and didn’t have any pre-trade experience. But here I am, about to qualify.” Inia’s role involves day-to-day machinery maintenance to keep the dairy plants running and producing cheese and milk powders. Fonterra’s maintenance team leader at Hautapu, Ray Jackson says Inia has a thirst for knowledge and a willingness to learn. “From knowing nothing at the start, what he has achieved in the four years he’s been with us is incredible,” he said.

Trotting enthusiasts back new race

Cambridge Raceway will welcome a new race to their racing calendar next year with the inaugural running of the $30,000 Waikato Trotting Breeders’ Stakes (2700m) on February 21. The race was the brainchild of owner and breeder Ken McGrath and his partner Melanie Barker, who have been supported in their vision by a group of Waipā trotting enthusiasts. “My partner Melanie and I breed and race predominantly trotters and we have a real passion for the trotting gait,” McGrath said. “What has become very apparent to us over a period of time is the trotters are not catered for anywhere near as well as the pacers are and there is a real shortage of opportunities for them to step-up and race in quality races. “With that in-mind we decided we would like to support a new race. One that was of considerable value and one that could progress and become a Group race in due course. “We consulted with a number of other breeders and trotting enthusiasts who were keen to come onboard.” The group has pulled together to fund the inaugural race, worth $30,000, and McGrath is hoping it will be promoted to a stakes race in years to come. “The group have contributed the funds required to put this race on and give it a reasonable stake so it can go ahead next year, with the

hope that in the very near future it will be accepted by Harness Racing New Zealand as a Group race,” he said. “The race is an encouragement for people to breed and race trotting mares and fillies and something for them to aim for. “Credit goes to breeders and owners of trotting horses in the Waikato area who have contributed for this to happen.” McGrath, who is also Vice President of Waikato-Bay of Plenty Harness Racing Club, is hoping the race will attract some South Island talent, with the race programmed just a week before the Gr.3 Northern Trotting Breeders’ Stakes (2700m) at Alexandra Park on February 28. McGrath is looking forward to the race and is hoping to line-up three contenders, including Mums Star who won the Farmlands Trot (2200m) at Cambridge Raceway last week. “I thought it was really good win,” he said. “She went out really strong and just took the lead and at one stage was nine lengths ahead of them. “She did what she had to do to stay in front, so there is a lot more in here yet.” It was the first victory for the daughter of Monkey Bones and while happy with the victory, McGrath said trainer Ross Paynter is still trying to work through a few issues with her. “She has had her issues and we are probably still not quite on top of

them yet. She just doesn’t seem 100 percent comfortable. “She trots around beautifully, but at the end of her races driver David Butcher tends to have to hold her together a little bit rather than drive her out as fully as he would like to. “She is going in for some tests and checks on Monday and hopefully the results will tell us we have got nothing to worry about.” McGrath would also like to target the Waikato Trotting Breeder’s Stakes with Mums Star’s year younger full-sister Molly Bones, and five-year-old mare Canskyfly. All three mares are showing promising signs, with Canskyfly winning four of her eight starts to date, while Molly Bones has recorded two wins and three placings from her nine starts, and Mums Star now has one victory and placing to her name from just three starts. “We would have three mares that we would certainly like to aim for it,” McGrath said. “But Mums Star will depend on whether we can get to the bottom of her issues.” As well as the newly formed race, McGrath is also looking forward to the Harness Jewels returning to Cambridge Raceway in 2020. “It’s terrific and that’s what it is all about,” he said. “I have got to give huge plaudits to the Cambridge Raceway management team, led by Dave Branch. They are helping take Cambridge well into the future.” – Cambridge Raceway

Mums Star could be a starter for the new race.

Burgundy put down Cambridge Stud stallion Burgundy was put down at the Waikato farm on Friday, having contracted acute laminitis in his front feet. His condition had deteriorated over the past 72 hours and the decision was made between the major partners that he should not suffer further. Burgundy was a $1.3 million yearling when sold by his breeders Philip and Sir Peter Vela, the owners of Pencarrow Stud. Out of Group One winner Grand Echezeaux, he was a three-quarter brother in blood to Darci Brahma, champion sprinter in New Zealand in 2006. His dam was a three-

quarter sister to Romanee Conti, the dam of Gr.1 Melbourne Cup (3200m) and Gr.1 Caulfield Cup (2400m) winner Ethereal. He raced in the famous Te Akau colours and was described by managing owner David Ellis as “the fastest horse ever trained at Te Akau.” A multiple Group winner and Group One placed in the Telegraph Handicap (1200m), Burgundy retired to stand at Cambridge Stud where he has sired 39 individual winners, including multiple Group winner Dijon Bleu, dual stakes winner Hard Merchandize, and Listed Welcome Stakes (1000m) winner La Romanee.

Petch dominates Waipā’s Rebecca Petch has christened the new international BMX facility in Rotorua with victory in the UCI C1 Classic. Cambridge rider Rico D’Anvers, a member of the Schick Civil BMX Performance Hub, took out the final of the junior men’s category. The new $1.6m world-class track, nestled beside the Waipa mountain bike park on the outskirts of the city, was opened on Saturday. It is the result of five years of planning and dedication by the Rotorua BMX Club with support from a number of organisations and businesses. The club hosted the UCI event, which carries valuable ranking points towards the Tokyo Olympics, drawing riders from Australia, Japan and New Zealand, with the Central Region BMX Championships staged alongside. Te Awamutu’s Petch, the New Zealand representative, won all three of the elite women’s races ahead of Australia’s Caroline Buchanan and London Olympic medallist Sarah Walker who is a long-time member of the Rotorua club. Buchanan, a former BMX world champion, was making her competitive return after nearly two years out of the sport following a serious car crash. Japanese visitor Daichi Yamaguchi, the Asian continental champion, who is ranked 88th in the world, upset world number 11 ranked Kai Sakakibara (Australia) in the final. Earlier New Zealand’s leading rider, Michael Bias (North Harbour) had finished top of the rankings with Sakakibara, both with two wins and a second placing from the three qualifying motos, with Yoshimura third. However the 26 year old Japanese rider

got the jump from the gate of the new 8m ramp to win the grand final ahead of Sakakibara, the Oceania champion, with fellow Australian Joshua Boynton third. He was equal second in qualifying after two wins and a third placing but impressed in the final to edge out Japan’s Yuichi Masuda and Australia’s Oliver Moran, the top qualifier.

Tennis tournament a winner

Cambridge’s Sheryl and Paul Carpenter and Verity and Roger Hocking tied equal to top the highly contested mixed doubles pool at the Cambridge Racquets Club’s annual Christmas Tennis Tournament. They competed amongst players from the greater Waikato and Bay of Plenty, ditching their traditional whites for the more suitable ensemble of tinsel, tutus and classic Christmas-red clothing. In several cases of pool play, such as in the master class “Federer” pool won by Hamilton’s Mark Rodrigues and Murray Burr, matches were so closely fought that it came down to the final seconds to determine the winners. Results from the day were as follows: Pool Williams: Hamliton’s Sue Beard-McGlone and Judy Shaw

first, Cambridge’s Annie Peters and Racheal James second. Pool Kerber: Hamilton’s Ainsley Leslie and Mel Ruffell, first, and Ineke Jacobsen and Jan Hooten (Hamilton) second. Pool Wozniacki: Hamliton’s Krishan Kaliraman and Landry Lang first, and Cambridge’s Glen Reid and Kerrie Manion second. Pool Halep: Cambridge’s Sheryl and Paul Carpenter and Roger and Verity Hocking tied equal.

Pool Djokovic: Te Aroha’s Welton Brown and Bernard Werder first, Cambridge’s Wayne Peterson and Vinnie Simmonds second. Pool Federer: Hamilton’s Mark Rodrigues and Murray Burr first and Thames’ Kevin McLoughlin and John Van de Hellemond second. Pool Nadal: Hamilton’s Mark Hooper and Christine Rison first, Cambridge’s Sally Bridgens and Norman Franke second.

The Term 4 2019 Cambridge Primary School Lacrosse League finished last week, with the Hautapu Shooters crowned overall winners in the boys division, and the Kaipaki Hawks emerging as winners of the girls division. The Primary School League was started last year, but has returned again in force this year with 21 teams from eight schools (Cambridge Primary School, Cambridge East School, Goodwood School, Hautapu School, Kaipaki School, Leamington Primary School, Matangi School, Tauwhare School).

The league is unique to Cambridge, and the first place in New Zealand to offer lacrosse for primary school children. The matches are played indoors with small 4-aside teams and quickfire 12 minute halves. The League will run again in Term 1 2020 in Cambridge by request from parents, and may be split further into Year 5/6 and Year 3/4 divisions in future if more younger players are keen to play. Given its success, it is hoped to replicate the Cambridge model so that other Waikato primary schools can offer lacrosse.

Flavours with Jan Bilton

Festive main events Christmas is a time of celebration and festive foods. And if dishes can be prepared ahead — well great! The more time spent with family and friends the better. Turkey is an excellent special occasion meat and it can always be prepared in the slow cooker — if you have one large enough. This allows you can use the oven for baking and roasting vegetables without any hassles. Make a sling for the turkey from a length of folded foil. Place some veggies on the base of the cooker then — using the sling — add the turkey. Leave the sling in place until the turkey is cooked so you can remove it with ease. Ensure the foil is tucked in so the cooker lid closes tightly.

If using stock for sauces or gravy then make your own using meat bones and vegetables or purchase fresh stock that is sold in some supermarkets in clear pouches from the chiller. Christmas demands the best. At least sauces can be prepared ahead. Roast veggies are a tradition and a combo of pumpkin, potatoes and different varieties of kumara is always colourful. These can all be peeled and cut up the night before and kept in a basin of cold water in a cool place. Ensure they’re well dried before adding to the hot oil in a roasting pan. Rice bran oil will ensure they are crispy on the outside. Add a few sprigs of rosemary and thyme for extra aroma and flavour.

SLOW-COOKED MOROCCAN TURKEY If you have a large slow cooker that will hold a 4.5kg turkey then follow this recipe but only use 1 cup of water. Free-range Crozier Turkeys are available from butchers and some supermarkets nationwide. Check at www.croziersturkeys. co.nz. I cooked the couscous stuffing separately and piled it in the turkey cavity just before serving. 4.5kg free-range Crozier Turkey 1 tablespoon each: flaky sea salt, freshly ground black pepper 1 medium lemon 1 bunch fresh herbs eg, parsley, mint, rosemary, bay leaves 6 cloves garlic 75g butter, softened 2-3 tablespoons Moroccan seasoning

DECEMBER 2019

Anniversary celebration for Cafe Irresistiblue Cafe Irresistiblue celebrates its 10th birthday this month. Situated on Monavale Blueberries, New Zealand’s largest BioGro certified organic blueberry orchard, the cafe opened on 16 December 2009. Director Kath De Groot said the premises came to life to serve two aims. It provided a restful spot for pickers and an opportunity for visitors to experience an organic blueberry business. At the time, Monavale Blueberries was a gate-sale only business. “We had customers coming a long way to pick our fresh blueberries. They’d often ask if they could sit here for 10 minutes before leaving. We realised better facilities were needed.” Monavale Blueberries also attracted interest at farmers markets. “People would ask if they could come and have a look at how our organics business operated. We wanted to provide them with a good visitor experience.” Cafe Irresistiblue’s architecture gives a nod to the owners’ European roots. Seamlessly grounded in the landscape, it nestles amidst blueberry bushes and is designed to provide an immersive orchard experience. Customers can touch and pick blueberries as they dine. Stunning views and alfresco settings enhance the dining experience. While the orchard produced blueberry wine, juice and jam pre-cafe, chefs have since introduced boutique products such as chutneys, salad dressings and spreads. One of the healthiest foods on the planet, organic blueberries have a high antioxidant content and offer a plethora of health benefits. “All sorts of customers come here,” says Kath. “We get a lot of New Zealand travellers and local tourists.” Monavale Blueberries has a weekly presence at Waikato Farmers Markets in Cambridge and Hamilton. The Cambridge Farmers Market trailer sells fresh organic blueberries, organic blueberry products and treats. Monavale Blueberries Ltd remains a family owned and operated company. As the largest organic blueberry orchard in the country, it has over 40ha of fully certified crop.

Sheep milk in Kiwi homes Rural vigilance urged

Made available by popular demand, New Zealand’s own grass-fed sheep milk can now be purchased by Kiwi consumers. While Auckland’s Aelia duty free stores were the first to benefit from the recent launch of Spring Sheep® full cream sheep milk powder, resealable pouches will be available in select supermarkets early in the new year. Since its establishment in 2015, the last four years have seen Spring Sheep launch into multiple export markets, including Malaysia, Vietnam and Taiwan, with various high value sheep milk products. Spring Sheep’s chief executive Scottie Chapman says sheep milk is a traditional milk that has been around for thousands of years and is popular throughout Europe. “Most of the global sheep milk supply goes into cheese production, but now people are starting to see how its digestibility, nutrition and taste attributes make it ideal for other products.” Chapman believes consumers are becoming more educated and aware of the different options available and are actively looking for alternatives with beneficial health properties. Spring Sheep® full cream sheep milk powder is produced by dairy sheep grown on the grassy pastures of Taupo and Cambridge.

Supporting rural youth and adult literacy The Rural Youth and Adult Literacy Trust provides free tuition to isolated rural adults and teenagers who struggle with reading and writing. A recent $20,000 donation by the New Zealand National Fieldays Society significantly boosted the trust’s funds, making it easier for the non profit organisation to carry out its work. The trust’s humble beginnings trace back to 2011 and Josephine Poland’s kitchen table in Port Waikato. Poland was asked by a local woman if she would help with her literacy. Spurred on by the woman’s quick progress, Poland, together with Vijay Satyanand and Richard Winch, founded what was initially known as the Adult Literacy Trust. The organisation

recognised that the unmet need for daily literacy lessons for adults living in isolated rural areas was not simply a local phenomenon, but a nationwide issue and, as such, needed a concerted, nationwide effort to address it. The Rural Youth and Adult Literacy Trust was chosen as a donation recipient by the Society’s staff, members and volunteers who voted on one of three charities that had applied for funding from the Society. Supporting charitable activities has been the New Zealand National Fieldays Society’s vision and each year the Society gives back to a variety of causes through educational grants, research scholarships, charitable donations and sponsorships.

Horticultural investment an appealing pastoral option When investors think about horticulture as an option they typically cast their eyes up to Northland for avocados, across to Bay of Plenty for kiwifruit, and possibly to Hawke’s Bay for apple orchards, according to Alistair Scown of Bayleys Real Estate. However, continuing strong demand for horticultural crops and increasing pressure on land prices and availability for greenfield orchard plantings mean other areas, not usually associated with horticulture, are starting to present opportunities.

One of these is Waikato. “Although it’s more known for its green pasture than green kiwifruit, it is now home to almost 600ha or four per cent of the country’s national kiwifruit crop.” Two thirds of the Waikato area is in Green and a third is in SunGold. “Since being commercialised in the wake of a Psa outbreak in 2010, the industry has been surprised at the adaptability of SunGold,” says Scown. “The fruit has surprised growers and orchard managers with its heavy fruiting capability, and

capacity to grow well beyond traditional kiwifruit growing areas.” As farmers consider options to reduce their nutrient footprint under new regional controls like Waikato’s Healthy Rivers, crops like kiwifruit could provide a highvalue, low-nutrient footprint option without requiring an entire farm land use change. Bayleys has witnessed recent strong interest in land uses beyond the usual pastoral models, including the successful sale of a dairy unit that incorporated a kiwifruit orchard.

Alistair Scown

Security expert Gavin McCormick urges farmers and lifestyle owners to be more vigilant in the wake of increasing opportunist rural crime. “Would-be thieves will often drive past the gate or enter a property posing as contractors. They’re looking for property that is easy to move and easy to sell.” Topping the list of stolen items from rural properties are chainsaws, hand tools, small machinery, fuel, and farm bikes and bike parts. Goods are often stored by offenders in shipping containers for a period of time before being sold, most likely to fuel drug purchasers. McCormick says farm gates and sheds are often left open, and that they are very observable. While farmers need easy access to their work places, measures can be taken to protect them. “Long range driveway beams, sensor lights and CCTV can be installed. Advances in CCTV technology make it a very viable application these days.” Driveway beams are ideal as they provide an alert the instant a person or vehicle enters a property. These alarms transmit an invisible beam of light between two points and work like an invisible security gate. When the beam is interrupted, an alert is generated. The alert can be from a buzzer, text message, pocket beeper, a CCTV image, or a combination of these. Driveways, sheds, machinery and anything of value can be remotely monitored. “Every property is unique and has its own security challenges,” says McCormick, who advises the use of motion-activated spotlights, an alarm system or locking up when not in use. People support should not be overlooked. “Network with your neighbours, discuss any suspicious activity with them, be mutually watchful and work together to protect your properties.” Another option that may be viable, particularly when crops are stolen, which is only at specific times of their season, is mobile remote security. Off-thegrid technology high definition CCTV can be very effect.

No pets for Christmas During the countdown to Christmas, SPCA wants to remind New Zealanders that the cutest pets don’t make good presents. While it might seem like a good idea to give a kitten or puppy as a gift, the reality is that some of these animals may end up unwanted and unloved by a person who never planned for them. In opening your life and home to an animal, careful consideration should be given to the longterm commitment which is being made, says Andrea Midgen, SPCA CEO. “Pets should always be a considered, family-wide and

educated decision, taking into account lifestyle, needs of a pet, and costs like dog registration, food, vet bills and pet insurance.” The summer months are the busiest time of year for SPCA. Thousands of animals across the country require forever homes with people who are prepared to commit to them for as long as they live. SPCA only adopts animals out to owners following checks that they have the time and resources to look after pets properly, to prevent animals being surrendered to the shelter. “We understand that people who want to give pets as gifts

Cute – but they don’t make good presents

Working today for a cleaner tomorrow

invariably have good intentions, but it is unfair to give an animal to anyone unless you are absolutely certain that the person wants that

particular animal as a companion and is willing and able to give a lifetime of proper care,” says Midgen.

Leaving a dog trapped in a hot car can have devastating results, and is an infringeable regulatory offence under the Animal Welfare Act. Although every summer SPCA reminds owners to never leave a dog in the car, the organisation still receives calls almost every day from people around the country concerned about pets without shade, water, or locked in hot cars. SPCA CEO Andrea Midgen says many pet owners don’t understand how quickly a car can heat up. “In a hot car, even with the windows slightly open, panting is not enough to keep a dog’s body temperature within a safe range.” On a 30°C day, the temperature inside a car can reach 39°C in less than five minutes and in 30 minutes it goes up to 49°C. This occurs even in the shade and if the windows are open. Since the Animal Welfare (Care and Procedures) 2018 regulations

came into effect 14 months ago, SPCA has received 883 complaints where a dog has been reportedly left in a vehicle. January 2019 was the busiest month with 181 complaints laid. Dogs suffering in hot cars is entirely preventable, and something SPCA wants all dog owners to take heed of. Anyone finding a dog locked in a car in distress should immediately call NZ Police or the local SPCA. Smashing a window is not a solution as it puts both the person and dog at risk.

Explore Waipā this summer

Waipā has a rich heritage and significant historical sites to explore, including numerous ecological, built and cultural features. Council promotes the area via its discoverwaipa.co.nz site, through bus tours and brochures outlining places of interest. The Waipā Heritage Trail encompasses Māori and European settlement sites, battle sites, trading posts and other places that have helped shape the district. Kihikihi village, just south of Te Awamutu, has its origins in a village of the Ngāti Maniapoto and subsequent European military settlement. Its history can be explored following the Kihikihi Heritage Trail. The eastern side of the district includes Lake Te Koo Utu, Rotoo-rangi, Sanatorium Hill and Lake Karāpiro. In contrast, the western side, starting in Te Awamutu, comprises key land war sites including Rangiaowhia, Ōrākau and Alexandra Armed Constabulary Redoubt. Into the mix is Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari, peat lakes, historic buildings like the Cambridge Town Hall as well as pā and battle sites. The proposed Te Ara Wai - Waipā Discovery Centre will be space where locals and visitors can discover the district’s diverse and largely unknown social, cultural and natural history. A first for the country, the ambitious project weaves together different perspectives on the New Zealand land wars.

FRIDAY DECEMBER 13, 2019

Enjoy a picnic at lavender farm The lavender season is over for the year but Julie and Bernie Hawkins are still welcoming visitors to their lavender farm on Brotherhood Road, Te Awamutu. “People come for the views and the gardens, to enjoy a picnic, smell the lavender and watch the bees,” says Bernie. Alphra Lavender is also a favourite destination for photo shoots and farm products. The couple bought the business in March 2017 because it was “too good a chance to pass over.” A huge lavender lover, Julie was keen to grow and distil lavender oil, and create dry flower. Alphra Lavender produces over 70 litres of oil a year, 50kg of dry flower and makes over 40 products. Marketing is solely through social media and a website. Dried lavender and rubbings are sought by the hospitality industry, crafts people and customers purchasing for cooking or moth repellents. The farm grows a number of lavender varieties, including Grosso, Pacific Blue and Super for

commercial production of essential oil. A fourth variety, Impress Purple, is grown for dried lavender and rubbings. Alphra Lavender was established in 1997 by Beverley and Ian Parlane, with a view to sharing their lifetime passion about the significant health benefits which lavender contributes to life quality. The Hawkins were happy to follow in their footsteps. The traditional role of lavender and its natural healing powers in helping people to maintain a balance in their lives have been a key concern of Alphra Lavender. The business has evolved into an exciting company trading in the wellness industry and focused on promoting sound body care. “We get a lot of joy from seeing our customers’ joy, and they welcoming visitors to our property,” Bernie says, who juggles full-time work with farm commitments. Alphra Lavender is open every day from 15 December and 6 February, except Christmas Day. Julie and Bernie Hawkins.

More North Island titles for young Te Awamutu rider Emily Hayward began her love affair with horses as a three year old. Her parents both rode and it seemed a natural thing for Emily to do. Her competition career began three years later. The 20 year-old from Te Awamutu now has a bulging cabinet containing some top class awards. No stranger to North Island titles, Emily last season won the prestigious Olympic Cup as Showjumper of the Year. She recently added to that when 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. They 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 Emily’s to claim. “The plan in the second round was just to go in and go clear.” The Ross Smith-trained rider said the track was quite technical but it was as she had expected. “I was really happy with him.” Emily 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.”

Earlier in the show, Emily and Belischi won the FMG North Island Young Rider Championship with another double clear effort, his second Young Rider win of the season. Emily is driven by a love of the sport and a desire to keep making improvements. She especially values the special bond that is built with each of her horses. She works hard to develop her business and make it profitable. “Riders in Europe and America have a lot more money and more backing.” Her ambition is to compete at the top level. “You need the backing of a horse that can do it for you.”

She likes to explore and she probably got trapped somewhere that was used occasionally - a shed, lock up storage or garage – and escaped when the owners returned. Please would you check yours to see if she is locked in somewhere? Likely to be in area bounded by Swayne Road, Taylor Street, Watkins Road and SH1.

THE PEANUT BUTTER FALCON A modern Mark Twain style adventure story, The Peanut Butter Falcon tells the story of Zak a young man with Down syndrome, who runs away from a residential nursing home to follow his dream of attending the professional wrestling school of his idol, The Salt Water Redneck. A strange turn of events pairs him on the road with Tyler, a small time outlaw on the run, who becomes Zak's unlikely coach and ally. Together they wind through deltas, elude capture, drink whisky, find God, catch fish, and convince Eleanor (Dakota Johnson), a kind nursing home employee charged with Zak's return, to join them on their journey. This year Tivoli Cinema Cambridge is helping those in the community less fortunate than most by hosting The Peanut Butter Falcon (PG) on Saturday 14 December at 3.40pm.

Cyclists earn top medal tally at world cup 40 | CAMBRIDGE NEWS

FRIDAY DECEMBER 13, 2019

The largely Waipa-based team of cyclists competing for New Zealand at the UCI Track Cycling World Cup earned themselves the highest number of victories by any team at the round-five event. They won eight medals, including five gold, topped off with an emphatic victory for Campbell Stewart and Aaron Gate in the 50km Madison on the final day. Stewart, 21, also dominated the omnium to take gold ahead of his Australian and German counterparts during the Saturday evening session. The night also saw Holly Edmondston win the women’s scratch race and the Kiwi pair of Michaela Drummond and Jesse Hodges claiming bronze in the 30km women’s madison.

Their chances didn’t look good after Drummond was caught in a crash that brought down four riders, but she bravely returned to the race and, along with Hodges, managed to finish third in the last two sprints, including a superb effort in the final double points sprint, to claim the bronze medal. Edmondston was joined by Rushlee Buchanan, Bryony Botha and Kirstie James in winning the team pursuit final, producing their best time yet in the 4000m race in 4:10.705 – only half a second outside the world record set by Great Britain at the Rio Olympics. “I looked at the board when we crossed the finish line and it was bitter-sweet – like holy cow did we just do that time, but oh

man it was so close to the world record,” said Buchanan. “It is awesome to do that with the girls.” The pursuiters’ achievements were matched by the pairing of Olivia Podmore and Natasha Hansen who broke new ground in the women’s team sprint, becoming the first Kiwi duo to go under 33 seconds and setting a new national record of 32.794 seconds in the first round. They clocked 32.877 seconds in the gold

medal ride to pip Poland by just two one hundredths of a second. The combination of Eddie Dawkins, Ethan Mitchell and Sam Webster were the first of the Kiwis to win a medal at the competition, claiming bronze in the men’s team sprint final on Friday.
