Guess who got the jump on everyone ahead of the opening of Cambridge’s new Pump Track tomorrow?

Santa traded his sleigh for a saddle this week to test out the new track – unaware the News camera was on the scene. Asked what residents might think of the track, Santa said it was a perfect community present.

The Dominion Rd track will be open to the public from 3-5pm tomorrow. Read Steph Bell-Jenkins’ preview on Page 9 today.

Bush walks - seeing bugs from a buggy

After finding herself knee-deep in a murky Rotorua lake with her young son in a buggy, Ceana Priest made it her mission to provide a better way for finding childfriendly bush walks, parks and nature reserves.

She has since compiled a book listing over 100 locations in Cambridge, Te Awamutu, Hamilton and further afield where parents can navigate with a buggy or with little ones on foot.

“I think having nature-based experiences builds a huge amount of resilience in kids,” she said.

But she describes the soggy Rotorua trail’s advertisement of a “wheelchair-suitable adventure” as a “very ambitious call”.

“Perhaps at one time it was but unfortunately not when we visited.”

The holiday season is upon us. With it comes the opportunity to wind down, spend quality time with family and friends and enjoy some relaxation. Unfortunately it is also a time where we can see an increase in pre-Christmas theft and burglary, as offenders seek to take from your family, for themselves. We have already seen incidents where parcels have been stolen from properties after delivery and a recent spate of thefts from parked vehicles.

We can all reduce the risk of falling victim to such crimes. Ensure that any courier parcels are signature-upon-delivery and nominate a secure location for drop-off.

Always lock your car whenever you leave it and ensure no tools or other valuable items are left inside that may attract unwanted attention. As always, if you see anything suspicious report it to Police immediately.

She and son Finn were regular nature adventurers, but finding information as to whether trails were wheel-friendly or had a “maze of steep stairs” was hard. So, the former hut warden embarked on exploring as many Waikato walks, bike paths and playgrounds as she could find, to share her findings with other outdoorsy families.

She started out creating an adventure booklet last year, then spent the winter expanding the list to a book-size format, covering more than 100 adventures. The book was released late last month and is now available in Cambridge at Paper Plus.

“There’s enough inside to keep all the troops entertained these holidays. The walks have accessibility icons for bikes, buggies, wheelchairs and if the family pooch can join in the fun.”

With a “wild inaccuracy” at identifying trees, she made it a point to include information sheets in the booklets to help children and parents learn to identify the trees on their walks. The book also includes identification sheets for birds, bugs, fish and fungi, “because sometimes having something to look for can keep kids more engaged outdoors,” she said.

The ultimate aim was to get kids off their devices and into nature.

“Nature offers kids the opportunity to display their creativity by making up their own games or getting hands on constructing bush huts.

events in December provide opportunities to create fun memories. Often this time of year also brings extra stress and excess - in alcohol as well as good ol’ Pavlova. It’s important that we plan our festivities and look after each other so that we all enjoy a safe and happy break.

Drinking and driving definitely don’t mix. The consequences of being caught are significant, from appearing in court, to the flow-on impacts for family life and future employment that a fine and loss of licence or imprisonment will bring.

If you are heading out, plan your transport, book a taxi, leave your keys at home and plan accommodation too.

If you can’t taxi, decide who will be the sober driver – and that does not mean the person who is least drunk drives! We all want to get home safely.

The combination of financial stress, family dynamics and alcohol can also lead to an

increase in family harm incidents. A New Year can be a time to move away from destructive habits - and support is out there.

Visit www.areyouok.org.nz or phone 0800 456 450 for information for yourself or someone you know. Where violence is occurring at the time, call 111. Early Police intervention can help identify and address the underlying issues, provide support to a family and prevent ongoing abuse, ultimately stopping the cycle. Again, let’s look after each other.

Like many, my column will be taking a break until January. I wish you all a safe and happy Christmas and New Year and look forward to catching up in 2020!

Award winner tested boundaries

By Viv Posselt

Rosemary Hill’s reaction to being told she is the Cambridge News’ Person of the Year for 2019 was predictable. “Whatever for?” came the incredulous response. “I haven’t done anything…”

Many would beg to differ, including hundreds of high school students who learned to love the world under her watch; those she interacted with during her years on the Cambridge Borough Council, Waipa District Council and Cambridge Community Board; those she worked with to turn groups she started into a success, including the Cambridge Community Health and Community Trust, Cambridge Community House and the Cambridge Community Arts Council; and those she touched through 25 years’ voluntary service to Save The Children.

The list includes her admiring nominee. Carey Church was one of Rosemary’s geography students during the 20 years she taught parttime at Cambridge High School. She remembers ‘an outstanding teacher’ who brought the world to life and instilled in her – and many others – a lifelong fascination for people, cultures and travel. Another admirer describes Rosemary as a tireless worker for Cambridge, saying: “There will be few who do not know her name or respect the discreet and quiet manner in which she fought for this town, and then the Waipa community.”

Quiet maybe, but far from docile, Rosemary is known for

her steely determination. She set out to make a difference and knew the only way to do it was to join council. She did that in 1983, nabbing a spot first as Cambridge Borough councillor, then as the first woman deputy mayor from 1986 until amalgamation in 1989, often standing as a lone voice and at odds with the gender imbalance of the day.

Rosemary recalled one particularly testy pre-amalgamation meeting when she and Cambridge Borough Council Mayor Pat Allan walked out of the April 1989 meeting when caught off-guard by an unscheduled question on whether Cambridge had passed a resolution on becoming part of Waipā, then being advised they couldn’t vote. The upshot of the standoff was a warm welcome back in Cambridge, one that included flowers and references to the ‘A-team’.

Amalgamation was followed by a Local Government Commission decision in 1995 that put the lid on any hopes Cambridge had of going it alone. That, Rosemary said, had been akin to a declaration of war; her mounting frustration saw her step away from council and join the Cambridge Community Board, where she remained tenacious in the pursuit of local good until bowing out in 2001.

“I am a dogged sort of individual.

Where I see a problem, I tend to just keep going until I find a solution.

But at the end of the day, I’m quite philosophical … what happens, happens.”

Through it all, she decried

Taken in August 1989, this image shows Rosemary Hill with the late Lesley Wyatt (dressed in the appropriate plus-fours) at the Cambridge Borough Council’s centenary celebrations. Lesley had led the balloon initiative that saw primary school children release hundreds of helium filled balloons into the skies above Victoria Square.

Rosemary Hill, the 2019 Cambridge News Person of the Year and a valiant fighter for right, looking through some of the eight detailed scrapbooks she has kept since 1983, chronicling Cambridge issues and council matters.

unfairness and fought for Cambridge’s share. She pitched in for the small stuff and found she was oddly interested in the mechanics of water supplies and sewage facilities. Politics always excited her and being in the thick of it as changes swept through local body politics has left her reflective on what she described as ‘extraordinary times’.

There were countless positives, too. She had a hand in setting up the Cambridge Tourism Association, helped found the Autumn Festival, waded into an earlier Cambridge Pool issue and steered the development of Leamington’s Medical Centre.

Now in her late 80s, this fastidious record-keeper has an impressive collection of eight scrapbooks detailing life in Cambridge from 1983 to 2005, and says she still has her mark books of every child she has ever taught.

“I think that gives me a feeling of control,” she laughed.

If anything were to go on the negative side of the ledger, she suggested it would be the 1995 door slam on Cambridge

becoming independent. On the positive side, is the success that resulted from toughing things out to get the Cambridge Health and Community Trust, and the Cambridge Community House, up

and running.

“I’m probably most satisfied with that, with the part I played in helping them get through what were fairly rocky beginnings,” she said.

Some community stalwarts have voiced their views on Rosemary.

Waipa District Mayor Jim Mylchreest: “I have been associated with Rosemary since local government reorganisation in 1989 when she became one of the initial councillors of the newly-formed Waipa District. Over that time we built up a close working relationship as Rosemary was the chair of our resource management and planning committee. Rosemary has always impressed me as a very well-informed person and supporter of everything in Waipa.”

Waipa District Council Deputy Mayor Liz Stolwyk: “Rosemary has been one of the most influential Cambridge leaders I know – with local issues always at her core, Rosemary also has a huge heart and gives generously of her time. I can always have an open and honest conversation with her. I couldn’t think of a better person more deserving than Rosemary for this accolade.”

Cambridge Health and Community Centre (CHCC) chairman, Lloyd Buscomb: “Rosemary chaired the CHCC for a remarkable 25 years, taking the fledgling organisation utilising the former maternity hospital from a struggling start-up to the thriving community asset it is today. Rosemary’s dedication to our community, combined with her good-humoured leadership, has left a legacy that continues to be enjoyed by a range of Cambridge individuals, groups and organisations.”

Here’s a word for you… Pressure on for Piarere

By Sophie Iremonger

Bernie Frost and Bernard Westerbaan have lived in Waipa for over 35 years, and they’ve got a few more things in common besides their first name. Both feature in letters to the editor columns in the Cambridge News and Te Awamutu News.

More people should write into their local newspaper, or post to social media, they said over an endof-year drink last week.

“People should get involved with writing to the paper and express their opinions,” said Bernard, a local body watchdog.

“I for one think that that is the only way you can actually get sufficient bodies and sufficient awareness to get council to react,” said Bernie.

“People shouldn’t talk about these issues amongst themselves and leave it there, I think people should talk about it and then put their ideas and thoughts into the paper, or on social media, so that it does get a wider audience.”

The pair had hoped to see more people run in this year’s Waipa District Council election, which saw 10 of the 25 positions available on council and its community boards automatically filled by unopposed candidates.

“And people should stand on their own merit, I don’t personally believe people should run based on their race or religion or whatever, they should stand on their merit,” said Bernard.

A Nelson native, Bernie moved to Cambridge in 1961 and spent

Cheers – letters from Bernie Frost and Bernard Westerbaan usually question council decisions.

much of his career in the horse racing industry. He ‘gave it a go’ in local government in 1972, standing for the Cambridge Borough Council.

Up until 2017 he didn’t write to the community newspaper much, except for the odd sports report on behalf of a club. But when council opted to raise pensioner housing rents, he made it a point to share his concerns. Council did eventually go back on its initial letter to pensioners which had said their rent was being raised by the same amount as the rise in their accommodation supplement, citing a case of “unfortunate wording”, but still went through with the rent-hike due to an annual market rent review.

Though it didn’t stop the issue altogether, it did cause a stir, and got Bernie’s proverbial ‘pen’ moving by

way of typing on a keyboard.

Bernard’s cause for letter writing is simple – keeping council transparent.

The Dutch-born Kihikihi resident moved to Te Awamutu in 1984, after emigrating to New Zealand in 1978.

He’s run for council three times and worked there for 20 years.

His main objections have been excluding the public from council workshops, council’s handling of public submissions, funding for the Cambridge Pool project costs and the appointment of non-elected members to council committees.

While Bernie admits he can be a little mischievous, both men say it’s about holding council to account, bringing to light shortfalls – and attempting to rectify them – and ultimately upholding the democratic process.

Waikato mayors have put their names to another call for the Waikato Expressway section south to Piarere to be put back on track.

Jim Mylchreest (Waipā),Jenny Shattock (South Waikato) Ash Tanner (Matamata-Piako) and Alan Sanson (Waikato) say the extension to Piarere can deliver long-term, sustainable efficiency and safety improvements for road users.

NZTA had mapped out a new road and bought over a dozen properties in the WhitehallKarapiro area for the project, but the incoming Labour led government dropped it from its long-term plans.

The mayor say that decision negatively impacted residents and business in Waipā, MatamataPiako and South Waikato District Councils.

They have all put their names to a letter to Transport Minister Phil Twyford which is also signed by four National MPs - Tim van de Molen (Waikato), David Bennett (Hamilton East) Tim Macindoe (Hamilton West) and Barbara Kuriger (Taranaki King Country).

Another National MP, Louise Upston (Taupo) is running a petition calling for work on the section to go head.

Tim van de Molen, who wrote the letter, said he had hosted a meeting of district council leaders

and National MPs to discuss common concerns and priorities around road safety and road infrastructure developments in the Waikato.

In the jointly-signed letter to the minister he said Waikato’s growth in population and urban development had led to significant increases in traffic volumes across the region.

He said the biggest issue on that stretch of SH1 and onto State Highway 29 was safety. The number of deaths and serious injuries in that corridor was “perilously high” and traffic volumes, already 20,000 vehicles a day, were going to rise quickly.

The issue was aired at a public meeting recently at Karapiro School, and van de Molen said as a consequence of prompting of that there had been some positive outcomes.

Hobbiton had altered its website to show access to the tourist attraction via the Matamata end of Buckland Rd. Associative Transport minister Julie Anne Genter had announced that while there were no plans to upgrade the Karapiro intersection, the school would have an Electronic Speed Zone installed, temporarily reducing traffic speeds.

“This is a great result, though no timeframe has been committed to,” van de Molen said.

Ceramic work wins award

The circle of life inspired a Cambridge artist to make an award-winning work.

Trish Seddon was presented with the Primo Clay Award at the 2019 Waiclay National Ceramics Awards this month for her piece titled “Coral Skulls” made from porcelain clay.

“My work is always inspired by nature and I particularly love bones which I find very beautiful,” she said.

“My Coral Skulls marry the skulls of carnivores – a cat and dog skull – with soft and hard coral ‘horns’ to send the message that the death of one thing can be the beginning of life for another.”

She won a $500 voucher for clay and glazes made by Primo Clays, “which was fabulous because I already use their wonderful products”.

It’s a second win in short time for the artist who also won the Primo Hand-building award at the 48th Annual Waikato Society of Potters exhibition. It earned her a $250 gift certificate for Primo clay products.

The winner of the Premier Waiclay Ceramics Award was South Waikato potter Fiona Tunnicliffe, for her mid-fired clay work called “Blue Horse” which earned a $3000 prize.

Work by the 48 Waiclay finalists will remain on exhibition at Waikato Museum until March.

Film shoot in the bag

By Sophie Iremonger

Cambridge’s first feature film is “95 per cent done” after weeks of filming.

The crew are now working through the editing phase of The Tavern and hope to see it released within a year.

Director, producer and actor Matt Hicks said a movie trailer has been put together and they are now “shopping around” Auckland distributors with the hopes the NZ Film Commission will take notice andprovide some funding.

“We’ve also been meeting with a lot of other Kiwi indie [independent] feature film makers, picking their brains on how to release it successfully.”

The project requires funds to complete the editing process and has its own fundraising page at givealittle. co.nz/cause/thetavernfilm. Hicks said the cast and crew had taken just five days off during a six-week film shoot.

“It was an amazing experience but physically and emotionally draining.”

More than 100 people, many from Waipā, acted as extras. The main cast actors were from Waikato and Auckland, including a few familiar faces from Shortland Street and Home and Away. Filming took place at the Masonic Hotel on Duke St, the set of the film’s “tavern”, and at The Stables on Alpha St where the back section was converted into a makeshift strip club.

Jake and Judy Moreland provided their home as the set of “the evil guy’s swanky headquarters” and Natalie Clarke’s house was used as another character’s home. Scenes were also shot at the Cambridge Football Club, inside the Hautapu Sport’s Club’s courtesy

van, at the Cambridge Raceway, at the park next to Cambridge High School, and at the storage unit on Hannon Rd. Hicks’ own Leamington garage was even turned into a fictional cockfighting ring.

“We couldn’t have done it without the support of the local community,” said Hicks, who has worked on several smaller film projects over the years. “It was a tick off the bucket list after four years of planning.”

Much of the film was inspired by life growing up in Cambridge.

“As the old saying goes, ‘write what

you know’. It’s ultimately a story about ‘home is where the heart is’.”

The film follows five small-town men who have a race against time to save their beloved yet run-down tavern from an evil, big-city property developer with sinister plans.

Some crew involved in the film are now working on a World War II short film based in Hautapu. Hicks has been cast as the leader of a frat house in a another independent film dubbed Buzz Cut, produced by Donna Wilkes, who has had roles in Jaws 2 and Days of our Lives.

Cambridge native Matt Hicks has both directed and starred in The Tavern.

Give it time on the road

Merry BMX!

Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency is encouraging motorists to plan ahead, be patient and allow plenty of time to ensure safe and enjoyable holiday journeys.

Acting Director Regional Relationships Ross I’Anson says motorists should prepare for the roads to be busier than normal.

“In the Waikato, delays are predicted on State Highway 2 at Maramarua, on State Highway 25 at Tairua, and on State Highway 1 at Taupiri, Karapiro and Tirau,” he said.

“Bay of Plenty motorists should be prepared for heavy traffic on State Highway 29 over the Kaimai Range and on State Highway 2 between Paeroa and Waihi and Katikati and Tauranga.”

Roadside electronic signs will display estimated journey times at key locations between Auckland and Tauranga.

“Traffic between Katikati and Tauranga is expected to be at its heaviest on 2 January, due to the Bay Dreams event in Mount Maunganui.”

Increased holiday traffic is also likely on State Highway 3 in Taranaki.

The Transport Agency’s Holiday Journeys map shows predicted traffic flow across popular journeys over the peak summer holiday period, based on previous years travel patterns.

She may not look like Santa, but Jude Eades has delivered a giant present to Cambridge, just in time for Christmas.

It’s the town’s new pump park, which officially opens tomorrow in Dominion Ave, next to the skatepark.

Eades, a sports administrator and “BMX mum”, was the driving force behind the new park, raising the funds needed to design and build it almost singlehandedly.

Reluctant to take credit, she thanked everyone involved, saying it couldn’t have happened without “incredible support” from other parents, local BMXers and the many Cambridge businesses and community organisations who generously donated money, time, labour and materials.

“This is one of the biggest pump parks in the world and it’s done by the world’s best track builders; I think we’re pretty lucky to have it in New Zealand and once you’ve ridden this you’ll know how good it is compared to the other ones,” she said.

“I hope people will come down, have fun, and respect it, because it’s been built by the community for the community.”

The 2500m² park features a 196m-long pump track at the town pool end of the park and a 222m-long jump track, connected by a bowl.

It was designed and built by

Velosolutions, a Swiss company owned by former competitive mountain biker Claudio Caluori.

Velosolutions’ New Zealand franchise director Craig Pattle said while the pump track was designed for speed, the jump track was about “getting air”.

“The pump track’s more just single rollers and some double jumps,” he said. “You can pump down everything and roll through everything and it’s quite easy on a skateboard or a bike to generate speed. With the jump track we’ve steepened up some of the jumps to make them take off, so you can double the jumps or step them up.

There are 16 jumpable jumps in the design, five hairpins and a couple of other turns, so it’s quite a hard workout.”

Pattle said about 400 tonnes of gravel and 320 tonnes of asphalt had gone into building the new facility.

He advised users to always wear a helmet and said both tracks were designed to be ridden in an anticlockwise direction.

“The safety lines we’ve sprayed on the corners all tail out at the end of the corner, so that’s the riding direction. Start at the Velosolutions signs and then follow the red line from there.”

Competitive Cambridge BMX racer Brock Nelson, 12, gave the park 11 out of 10 and said it would help his training “a lot”.

long and those nationals are coming up so this is really going to help with the endurance side of things,” he said. “Most people die in the third corner and you still have another two straights to go.”

His father Boyd, a former national BMX champion, said the new park was “brilliant”.

“For Cambridge to have this is just mind-blowing,” he said.

“It’s a destination park; they can hold the world championships here, it’s amazing. The kids are

going to love it, adults are going to love it, the elites are going to love it.

Anybody with anything to do with bike sport will be in their element down here and it’s all weather so you can come and ride any time.

“A huge thanks to Jude, Velosolutions and everyone who’s supported this for making it happen,” he said.

The opening will run from 3pm to 5pm.

FRIDAY DECEMBER 20, 2019

This year has seen the introduction of a new monthly column, Faith in Cambridge, where church leaders give their views on issues. Today they join together to send festive season messages to readers.

Church leader’s messages…

Some wit once said a kid who doesn’t believe in Santa is a rebel without a Claus.

Irrespective of our practices and beliefs about ‘Christmas’, the first six letters of the word usher us inescapably to the true ‘reason for the season’. Christmas without Christ misses the point.

God sent His Son to earth heralding hope and true purpose for life. As another year passes, there’s no better resolution than to involve Him in the one ahead.

To the Cambridge community and Cambridge News readers, we extend warmest Christmas greetings. Holiday safely, may God be with you in the new year!

Pastor Murray Smith Bridges Church, Cambridge Wherever you are this Christmas and whatever you are doing, I pray that your day will be full of joy. December 25, while very special, is just a day. The person we celebrate on that day lives forever. His invitation to life in abundance with him extends to all. That is why Christmas is very personal. Christmas means not just hope for the world, despite all its unending problems, but hope for you and me, despite all our failings. “Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!”

Jeremy Lind Pastor Raleigh St Christian Centre Some find it odd that the traditional Gospel reading at the Midnight Mass isn’t angels and shepherds or Wise Men from the East, but John’s theological poem which begins, “In the beginning was the Word.”

But it is John’s prologue that lays out the importance of Christmas: “The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us.” Or, as

Eugene Peterson paraphrased it, “The Word became flesh and blood, and moved into the neighbourhood.”

May Christ our infant Saviour give you the joy of the Bethlehem shepherds, the awe of the worshipping sages and the humility and love of the holy family.

Father Malcolm French St. Andrew’s Anglican Church In the hype and busyness of Christmas take the time to enjoy those gifts that money can’t buy, family and love ones. Tell them you love them and appreciate them and if they are your children, how proud you are of them. Tragedies such as the Whakaari/ White Island eruption and what happened in Christchurch, remind us that spending time with our love ones is so incredibly precious and can never be taken for granted. And when you take the time to appreciate those close to you, reflect on how great God’s love is for us that He sent His only Son into a

Pastor Jonathan Ruthven Cambridge Baptist Church Yet another Christmas is upon us and I’m absolutely overwhelmed by the generosity of our local community. Businesses, schools, pre-schools and families have all contributed food, toys and money to help provide for over 80 families this Christmas Day. For us, this is about showing the love of Jesus to our community through generosity, compassion and understanding, giving those in difficult circumstances some joy at this time of year.

Our thanks go to all those people who have helped us show the true meaning of Christmas this year through their generosity.

My hope for you is that you can take the time to reflect on what Christmas is all about.

Hope! Jesus came to bring us hope! Whether you are surrounded by people or feel alone this Christmas, Jesus came to show us we are never really alone - God is with us and for us.

Through Jesus, God extends the invitation to draw near to Him. That’s an invitation I intend to respond to this Christmas. How about you?

Regional chair’s 2020 vision

CAMBRIDGE NEWS | 11

The chairman of the Waikato Regional Council, Russ Rimmington, give News readers his views on what’s ahead for 2020 As I write, the final Waikato Regional Council meeting for 2019 has just concluded.

Rather than look back on a big year for this council I thought it better to look forward.

The work of this council is apparent from the time you wake up in the morning. It touches every part of your life – from fresh water to public transport, clean air to our native species.

With this new council we have the right mix of age, gender, ethnicity, but most importantly ideals to deliver the best for the people of the mighty Waikato.

Jennifer Nickel is one of the young new faces around the council table this triennium.

She possibly said it best in her candidate statement when she wrote, “In 2030, I want you to look back and say, I’m glad they thought of this 10 years ago.”

We’re not afraid to make future-focused, bold decisions and that’s reflected in our new committee structure, which sends a clear message to our communities – and this Government – on where we’ll be putting our focus.

There’s no hiding public transport is a passion of mine. The new Regional Connections Committee is about more than just buses or trains. It will look at bringing the region up to speed in the way we move people

around by ensuring the goals set out in the Regional Public Transport Plan are achieved. That does include the Hamilton to Auckland passenger rail service, due to commence in mid-2020; the opening of the new transport hub at Rotokauri with park and ride facilities; and the new station at Huntly.

We’ve also shaken things up by replacing the Integrated Catchment Management Committee with two new ones – Community Restoration and River and Catchment Management.

Fresh water remains the number one environmental issue for Waikato residents and is a priority for central

government.

Waikato Regional Council has a big role to play in this space, too. We notified a groundbreaking plan three years ago to improve the health of the Waikato and Waipā rivers, and we’ve been providing strong direction to the Government on its own changes to improve the health of New Zealand’s waterways.

It’s right that we maintain a focus on this life-sustaining resource, with a Community Restoration Committee focused on actions that deliver water quality and biodiversity outcomes, as well as restoration activities.

A big area of spend for this council is on flood

protection and land drainage infrastructure, as well as biosecurity. The River and Catchment Management Committee will have oversight of these activities, working in with landowner and stakeholder groups.

Our own community sees climate change as the biggest issue – equal to fresh water – in 5 years’ time. The status quo is unacceptable. The establishment of a Climate Action Committee recognises that this is a global issue with local consequences.

So, among other things, this committee will drive objectives and actions to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and prepare for

gone directly to pay some of the overdue bills of six of our clients. These are families who are not in debt through poor choices, but through a dramatic change of circumstances.

They may have been made redundant, been victims of family violence and have had to start again financially.

They’re all trying hard to get back on their feet, but while their income has stopped or dropped dramatically, the

bills have kept mounting up.”

Their stress was often exacerbated through pressure brought to bear by debt collection agencies.

“This generous donation has enabled us to take some of the heightened stress away for our clients. We are continuing to walk beside them and help them learn to manage their finances and reach their goals through our free financial mentoring programme.”

The FaB (Friends and Business) Group is a business support group set in in January 2018. The donation to Cambridge Community House was organised by FaB member Kerry Saberton, director of Jigsaw Professional Development.

Harriet said another donation, for $1000, came in this week from Cambridge Real Estate’s Graham Ban. “That was to help out a client who has overdue bills,” she

said. “It is another example of our caring community being outstandingly generous towards families currently facing financial difficulties.”

Meanwhile she said Cogswell Surveys had carried out surveying for a planned CCH extension free, and that helped progress the project.

“We are just waiting for building consent from the Waipa District Council, then we will be able to make a start in the new year.”

climate change impacts.

Clearly there’s plenty of work to be done as we head into 2020. But I believe this is the strongest political wing I’ve ever had the pleasure to lead in all my years in local government.

With barely a week until Christmas, I’d like to take this opportunity to wish everyone in the region a happy and safe festive season.

Donations bring welcome relief Cambridge Community House (CCH) general manager Harriet Dixon is ending the year on a high after receiving a couple of heartfelt donations.

“This is community thoughtfulness and kindness in action,” she said, after receiving a $2500 donation from the Cambridge-based FaB Group.

It’s the first time the $19-a-session attraction has come to the Waikato, and it will stay there until December 29 before moving to Auckland over January.

The park is open to five-year-olds and over.

A few familiar Cambridge faces were at the opening on Tuesday, including champion rower Mahe Drysdale, radio presenter Camille Guzwell, and Olympic track cyclist, Sarah Ulmer.

Whilst Guzwell and Drysdale got right into the fun with their children, trying out the course for themselves, Ulmer happily watched from a distance, and confirmed she’d be back for a crack at the course.

Senior Leamington School students have raised hundreds of dollars for charities after studying social entrepreneurialism this term.

“At the start of the term we identified what it means to be a social entrepreneur, so looking at people who are innovators and have a concept or a big idea they want to achieve, but who are focused on making a positive difference to their community and operating in a way that creates as little waste as possible,” associate principal Mel Martin said.

Year 5 and 6 students were tasked with researching and designing products they could sell at a December market day.

Some students wrote letters to Cambridge businesses and approached shops asking for donations of raffle prizes.

“Thank you so much to the members of our community who generously supported the kids,” Martin said.

“It allowed them to realise that they’re not alone and the community does get involved when you approach them in a respectful way and use your communication skills to connect with others.”

Other students designed and developed their own products to sell, such as Christmas wrapping paper and decorations, bath bombs, scented candles and scooter wax.

Martin said one raffle alone had raised $170 for the SPCA. Other charities to benefit will include KidsCan, the Waikato Westpac Rescue Helicopter and the Salvation Army food bank.

“It was a great learning experience for the kids,” Martin said.

“They had to come up with budgets and prototypes and go through the whole ideation phase of working out how to make their concepts successful. They’ve really taken ownership of their learning and had to plan and collaborate with other people and they’ve had to think about selflessness and how they can use their own passions and gifts to help others.”

Two hour power cut after tree hits lines Parts of Cambridge were without power for more than two hours on Tuesday night.

As torrential wind and rain belted down over Waipa, the central Cambridge area, as well as Cambridge East, Roto-o-rangi and the Te Kawa/Ngahape/Kio Kio area just north of Otorohanga, were without power from about 5.45pm to 8pm, after a tree branch fell on to power lines.

Within an hour of the power cut, Waipa Networks was working on the problem and providing updates to customers via its website.

It forced some Cambridge central businesses to close down, affecting the CBD from Queen St to Williamson St, with 260

customers affected.

Whilst businesses like Cambridge Body Art and Cambridge Vets were able to continue some of their services via flash light, other companies like New World and Countdown were forced to close, with Countdown evacuating customers from the store.

With Leamington still fully operational, shoppers and restaurant diners crossed town to use Fresh Choice and the Five Stags instead, as reported by some residents on the Cambridge Grapevine Facebook page.

One woman, Jocelyn Gerrand, said her family had to finish off their roast lamb on the BBQ, which was subsequently enjoyed over candlelight.

FRIDAY DECEMBER 20, 2019

International dance school for Cambridge A Scottish Country Dance school will run from December 28 to January 5, and residents are being invited to attend some of the evening functions to enjoy the traditional music and even try some dancing.

About 200 dancers from New Zealand, Australia, Canada, USA, the UK and Europe are attending the eight-day school at Cambridge’s St Peter’s high school.

It will celebrate and teach the traditional ballroom dancing of Scotland. New Zealand musicians will be joined by accordionist Ian T Muir from Scotland and pianist James Gray – whose Norwegian wife, Jamie Berg, is one of the teachers at the school.

Ms Berg’s class is aimed at teenagers and other dancers with plenty of vitality who can dance with energy to a very high standard.

Cambridge based teacher Helen Smythe is teaching a children’s class, while other adult classes will be taught by teachers from the UK, Auckland, Whakatane and Palmerston North.

Three-hour dance classes will be held each morning, with teachers’ classes

and music classes in the afternoon. The aim of the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society (RSCDS), which runs the annual school, is to retain and promote this Scottish form of dance, which is based on both the dances from the ballrooms of Edinburgh through the 18th and 19th centuries, and the village dances of the clans.

The evening function includes social dances, a formal ball, a Hogmanay (Scottish New Year) celebration on December 31, and a ceilidh (dance and music party) suitable for those who have never

danced before, on January 2.

Organiser Antanas Procuta encourages those who enjoy dance or traditional music to attend this ceilidh, where they can try out some fun dances under instruction from ex-Hamilton caller, Noel Armstrong. Or, for those with Scottish roots, to attend the Hogmanay celebrations.

Procuta describes St Peter’s School as an ideal venue for the school, with accommodation, some classes and all the evening functions all at the same idyllic place. Other classes are spread across halls in Cambridge.

Resthaven graduates rewarded

By Viv Posselt

Four Cambridge Resthaven staff who work at the coalface of resident care were celebrated earlier this month.

The four were the stars in an afternoon graduation ceremony on December 10, organised by staff educator Linda Dickey and hosted by administrative staff, including Resthaven Cambridge CEO, David Hall.

They were presented with certificates relating to each of their qualifications.

Celso Baldo received a NZ Certificate in Health and Wellbeing (Health Assistance) Level 3; Unnati Shrestha a NZ Certificate in Health and Wellbeing (Advanced Support) Level 4; and both Lorraine

Hargreaves and Prerana Thapa their NZ Certificate in Health and Wellbeing (Diversional Therapy) Level 4.

Linda said all four had completed their qualifications on-site through Career Force.

“We have a high percentage of staff who are qualified,” she said. “I believe this is the first graduation ceremony we have had in about two to three years – it reflects the drive we have had in getting qualifications completed. There are a number of staff in training at the moment.”

Cambridge Resthaven chief executive David Hall said the qualifications were nationally recognised qualifications and had taken the recipients over a year of hard work to obtain.

“They are really focused on achievement and we are very proud of them.”

Community chips in for Christmas

By Viv Posselt

The number of families set to benefit from this year’s ‘Christmas Cheer’ initiative keeps climbing.

At the last count, 79 needy families were registered to receive help, either in the form of grocery support or family Christmas gifts, said Julie Epps, chairperson of the organising Cambridge Committee of Social Services (CCOSS). That number is up on last year, when around 70 families received a helping hand to make their Christmas a little more festive.

Describing the community response as ‘wonderful’, she said: “We are absolutely blown away with the generosity, and are so grateful for all donations, big and small.

We have had great support from individuals, groups, schools and businesses … it is very humbling to see the response.”

Julie said Cambridge Rotary and Cambridge Lions clubs provided funding again this year, which will go towards grocery vouchers for families, and said the response from the business community had been ‘brilliant’. “They have really got behind it, either with financial

support or with toys and food. One business, Cogswell Surveys, has donated $2000 to our Christmas Cheer … that has blown us away.”

Cogswell’s office manager Beryl Barras has been with the company since May, and said the company has a sound reputation for supporting the community across different sectors.

“The directors decided that this year, instead of giving Christmas gifts to our clients, that we would give a donation to a worthy social cause. They pitched it to everyone, got a few ideas back and decided to give $2000 to the Christmas Cheer initiative,” she said. “It’s been really well received, but without that decision being taken by directors Pete McLachlan and Phil Cogswell, it wouldn’t have happened.”

The annual Christmas Cheer initiative, now into its third year, is organised by the social agencies and community groups making up CCOSS, plus input from Cambridge churches, the Lions, Cambridge Community House, Cambridge Marae, Age Concern, Citizens Advice Bureau, and Work and Income.

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

OPINION

Liz Stolwyk, Waipa District Council deputy mayor, celebrates the activities and entertainment in Cambridge.

Good time, busy times There’s no better time to start a new role than at that the busiest time of the year!

The Cambridge News has kept you all well abreast of the incredible events we have hosted recently at Waipā, including the UCI Track Cycling world cup at the Avantidrome, which was well attended by many locals, and the official launch of Te Ara Wai Journeys, a free, self-guided tour of culturally significant sites throughout the Waipā

district. You can take the mobile tour at www. tearawai.nz.

Council also reopened the upgraded playground on Thompson Street playground on Sunday, and this Saturday at 3pm Jude Eades and her team will be opening the new Cambridge Pump Track. (see storyon page 9) What a great time to be a kid in Waipā!

Council meetings have kept us well busy too. Key issues that affect you include

changes to our policy on protected trees, consenting of our wastewater treatment plant, iwi representation on our main committees, policy on how we name our roads, and decisions around the upcoming discovery centre, Te Ara Wai. These meetings are all advertised in advance and minutes viewed on council’s website at www. waipadc.govt.nz.

Keeping our business community healthy and vibrant is also a key

priority – you will have read the increase of parking enforcement to deter those who park all day on our main streets. Further work is expected on this early next year. Don’t worry, we do want you to shop and socialise in town and will give you enough time to do both!

Keeping you up to date on key issues is one of my key priorities for 2020 – I am active on my Facebook page, Liz Stolwyk - Deputy

Experience Christmas...

why not consider buying an experience instead of an object?

LOCALLY OWNED AND OPERATED

Shakespeare Liquor Centre 117 Shakespeare Street, Leamington, Cambridge P 07 823 5585

Consider giving a family ticket to: Hamilton Zoo; to Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari and see native species living in their natural habitat; Otorohanga Kiwi House; the Waikato River Explorer, 60 or 90 minute cruise on the Waikato River or for Cambridge Jet Boat tours.

Alternatively perhaps a gift card to visit Wingspan, Rotorua, where you can see harrier hawks, morepork, and falcons up close; a gift voucher for Adrenalin Forest aerial obstacle course, Tauranga; or for Hobbiton.

Other experiences could include a trip to Tiritiri Matangi Island, in the Hauraki Gulf, on a fast ferry, to see the lighthouse, all the birds, and buy a t-shirt; or ziplining in Rotorua with Canopy Tours. Look online at the many local companies hiring kayaks and bikes.

Another possibility is Adopt an Orangutan in Borneo and get regular updates on him or her.

Several organisations online offer adoptions. Rated the best present by our teenage grandchildren some years ago.

Join a child up to Forest and Bird’s Kiwi Conservation club, they get a

welcome gift bag, a quarterly magazine and notification of interesting conservation activities in their area. If you do have a nature loving child think of joining them up to Hamilton’s Junior Naturalist club that has meetings on Friday nights in term time.

Many of our scientists started there.

Trade Aid has a massive range of bedware, cushions, and craft goods created by people in different parts of the world who run their own businesses and so support having choices in their life, and for their children. You can buy online or in their Hamilton shop. They also have exquisite Christmas tree decorations that could become treasured family heirlooms.

Gift cards, frowned on years ago as being the lazy present, are available for every interest. They are highly desired by teens for the Boxing Day sales.

Robin Kennedy has always lived simply, and in tune with nature. She lived on an island on the outer edge of the Hauraki Gulf for several years and now has a 0.2ha garden in Cambridge devoted to food for herself and family, as well as for birds and insects.

Mayor, where I would love to hear from you. I am also interested to meet with groups you belong to, hearing about your community projects, ideas and wishes for the future.

Thanks must go to the many community groups putting on Christmas performances, our parade and the Christmas festival in the town hall – we appreciate your efforts to spread the Christmas spirit. I look forward to

December is the start of summer officially and we look forward to Christmas and perhaps holidays. More time to spend in the garden.

Vegetables Now is the time to plant any vegetables you like. Replant salad greens as earlier crops are used.

Try lettuce in areas with afternoon shade to stop them bolting in the heat of summer sun.

Dig new potatoes for Christmas and replant with final main crops.

Plant more carrots and parsnips to last into the winter.

If you are going away on holiday postpone planting until you return unless you have someone to care for your garden.

Ask a friend or neighbour to water your garden once or twice a week as required.

If that’s not an option, move pots into a cooler part of the garden. Indoor plants can be put into the bath or tub on a wet towel, minus their saucer.

Pick beans, peas, courgette, tomatoes regularly to avoid them getting too big, it also encourages plants to produce more flowers fruiting for longer.

Planting seedlings in the evening and also watering in the evening gives plants time to recover out of the sun.

Mulch Apply mulch to bare soil to conserve moisture following rain.

Small Fruit Grapes, raspberries, strawberries, cover with bird netting secure around the base so birds can’t find a way inside.

Prune back spring growth of camellias and other shrubs to help shape plants.

Flowers and Perennials Deadhead flowering plants to encourage more flowers, and liquid feed.

Zinnias, sunflowers, portulacca, petunias and salvia all enjoy warm sunny days. Lavender flowers summer long.

Hope you all have a happy Christmas and happy gardening.

Karapiro construction project on the horizon

By Sophie Iremonger

After four years of planning Karapiro School will revamp two classrooms and build a new science lab in 2020.

Construction will start in January and be completed in Term 2, and will see the school’s Room 1 and 2 classrooms stripped down to the bones and rebuilt, and a new science lab built in the empty space behind them.

It follows on from a $200,000 funding grant the school received last year as part of the government’s Accelerated Modernisation Scheme. That along with funds from their 10-Year Property Planning funding pool has allowed the nearly-$350,000 project to go ahead.

And in perfect timing for future projects,

the prime minister announced earlier this month the school, along with others around the country, would receive $52,000 for future property planning and maintenance.

“It’s really exciting for us, we now have the funds to be able to properly upgrade the school, and also really meet the needs of our students,” said Principal Tina-Maree Thatcher. “We only have these guys for six years so we want to make sure they get the best possible education during that time.”

The past four years has seen schools around Cambridge waiting on the Ministry of Education for crucial classroom funding, and ultimately turning libraries into learning spaces in the process.

That trend seems to be slowly changing, Thatcher agreed. “I think the Ministry appears to be more committed to funding

schools, particularly smaller schools, and enabling them to achieve their property goals, which we’re very grateful for.”

Karapiro School students have been getting involved in the design process of their new classrooms and science lab, helping to choose carpet types, colours and features – all agreeing they’d like lots of bright colours, but still keeping somewhat in line with the school’s colour scheme.

“I think it will be really fun,” said senior student Marea Barker. “It will be a change forward for the students and the teachers and the community too.”

Her cousin Cole Barker thought the new facilities could be a good asset for attracting new students too. “And it’s a cool space where it’s not only a science lab, but it can also be a kitchen area which will open up

opportunities for students to do cooking and things like that.”

Alex Goodwin and Mckayla Trumper both said it would make things easier getting in between Room 1 and 2, with a joined space, and Jake Bailey thought it would make work much easier.

“The expanse of our classroom will be good for our learning,” added Zachery Hartland. “It’s a good boost for our education.”

“I think it’s really cool that we’re going to get a new learning space,” added Obi Nelson, who along with his peers was quite excited to start using the new learning spaces next year.

“It’s really cool, it will be a good change having something brand new,” said Savjah Sunnex.

Howzat? Cricket trial a

By Steph Bell-Jenkins

Cambridge junior cricket is riding an unprecedented wave of popularity, with

players enrolling in record numbers this season.

And while the Black Caps’ outstanding performance at this year’s World Cup is a

likely contributor, Cambridge Junior Cricket Club chairman Steve Carter and his committee can claim much of the credit.

They’ve worked hard over recent years, implementing a range of initiatives to boost the game’s appeal and accessibility – and they’re

smashing it out of the park.

One key factor in Carter and his team’s success has been removing the game’s administration from the hands of overworked teachers and bringing it in-house.

“Teachers are too tired after a hard week to want to give up their Friday nights and Saturdays organising cricket games,” Carter said.

This year the club has also obtained funding from Sport Waikato to employ full-time cricket development officer Indika Senarathne.

The move goes against the centralised model Northern District Cricket is developing, Carter says, but has been approved by its CEO as “a bit of a trial”.

Senarathne began teaching and promoting cricket in all Cambridge primary schools in October, with instant results.

“This time last year we had about 250 kids playing cricket from year 0 to year 8,” Carter said.

“We’re just about at 400 now and we’re still getting kids turning up on Friday nights with their parents wanting to register. The major success has been five and six-year-olds: we’ve got 140 of them doing skills

sessions, which would be easily double what we’ve ever done. I put that directly down to Indi.”

Additionally, the club has created a visible development pathway for young players by bringing all three forms of the junior game – skills and drills, softball and hardball – together at the same time at John Kerkhof Park on a Friday night.

Softball cricket is played with plastic equipment, while hardball uses traditional kit and safety gear.

“Now kids get here at age five and they come and do the skills sessions with Indi and they see the pathway; they see the games with the plastic bats and plastic balls, but they also see the kids with the pads and helmets on and all they think about is getting out into the middle with pads on to be like the guys on TV,” Carter said.

“In the past they never had that mental picture, because we had skills and the softball cricket on a Friday night at the Village Green and the hardball cricket on a Saturday morning at Cambridge Middle School.

“The advantage of having it all here is kids get the

opportunity to get exposed to it and fall in love with it.”

Carter has been involved with cricket for 15 years and says it’s “an addiction” with kids.

“It’s a sport kids fall in love with really quickly and once they get hooked, they’re really hooked,” he said.

“The challenge for us is making sure that the fun that they have here with their mates and their family on a Friday night is continued all the way through.”

Carter himself fell in love with cricket watching greats like Hadlee, Chatfield and Cairns on television growing up in the Bay of Plenty town of Edgecombe, where there was no organised cricket competition for school players.

Now, he and his committee are passionate about making the sport “a real community thing” in Cambridge.

“Personally I just enjoy seeing the kids having fun with their mates and trying to build something a bit special for them,” he said.

“What I get immense pride out of is seeing kids that turned up here at five and they’re now 15, 16, 17 and 18 and they still have that passion to play sport.

They’re coming back here

to coach five-year-olds and giving back to their club and

Did you know that over 15 million trees are cut down each Christmas in the USA? So congratulations to the Cambridge Community Board and the Lions Club for leading the charge to decorate a living Christmas tree (redwood) in Cambridge town centre.

The Christmas tree tradition is believed to have started in Germany in the sixteenth century.

In the 1830s German migrants took the tradition to Pennsylvania, Redwood USA, and in 1846 Prince Albert introduced a Northern hemisphere pagan the tradition to the British one. The Egyptians believed royal family, and the people that winter came each year followed what was done in the because the Sun God, Ra, court of their popular Queen became ill and weak. The Victoria. Although Christmas arrival of the winter solstice trees are now part of the meant that he would begin to Christian festival, the practice recover, and they filled their of bringing evergreen boughs homes with green palms and indoors in winter was originally

rushes to symbolize the triumph of life over death.

The Romans celebrated the Saturnalia in honour of Saturn, god of agriculture, for the winter solstice meant that farms and orchards would soon become fruitful again; they too decorated their homes with evergreen boughs.

Likewise the Celts and Vikings saw evergreens as special plants of the life-giving sun god and a symbol of everlasting life.

Today we know that trees are not merely symbols of life and renewal, they are the substance of it. Our lives and the life of Planet Earth depend on them. So perhaps for every Christmas tree we cut down at the Southern summer solstice, we should remember to plant not one, but two, each winter solstice.

Members of Cambridge Tree Trust wish all their many supporters a very happy Christmas.

Yearbury and his Husqvarna way out in front complete five laps in the allotted time and remarkably he crossed the finish line more than nine minutes ahead of runner-up rider Tom Buxton (KTM), of Helensville, with another Husqvarna rider, Napier's Mackenzie Wigg, finishing 13 minutes later, to claim third overall.

"The race was not as tough as some I've done," said Yearbury, "but it was very tiring. Riders never really got a break and I'm feeling pretty tired now (even two days later).

"I loved the bike. It's actually a motocross bike and so I'm thinking about racing it at the Whakatane Summercross just after Christmas."

The Husqvarna Hard X event had originally been scheduled to run in March, but the fire risk art that time was too great and so it was postponed until the weekend

By Andy McGechan

Husqvarna rider Dylan Yearbury proved unstoppable at the weekend's marathon dirt bike race near Atiamuri.

It was the first time that the 25-year-old Cambridge diesel mechanic had attempted to race the annual Husqvarna Hard X cross-country race on Saturday, but it didn't take him long to settle into a groove and he eventually went on to comfortably win the gruelling battle.

It was meant to be a four-hour race, but with Yearbury (Husqvarna FC250) taking on average only 53 minutes to complete each lap, it meant he entered the timing zone at the end of his fourth lap with time still time left on the clock and so he was sent out to complete a fifth energy-sapping lap.

In the end, he was one of four riders to

and perfect weather conditions greeted the more than 150 riders entered.

Event organiser Sean Clarke said the course featured "mostly Bronze level trails, but with a few Gold and Silver deviations", which meant there was something to challenge all levels of rider ability.

Riders registered themselves as either gold, silver or bronze grade competitors, facing terrain and obstacles to match their skill levels.

Otaki's Matt Lauder, Aucklanders Ben Hastie and James Kerr and Pio Pio riders Danny Blakeman and Shane Singleton were the stand-outs in the Silver Grade, with Taupo's Wil Yeoman, Te Awamutu's Rachael Archer and Thames rider Natasha Cairns the leading riders in the Bronze Grade.

Gold Grade winner Yearbury has impeccable credentials for this kind of

competition.

He was exceptional at the Nut Buster Hard Enduro, part of the two-day final round of the New Zealand Extreme Off-Road Championship series, near Christchurch last month, and he also won the threeday Husqvarna Hard Adventure Enduro near Tokoroa last year, so his debut in the Husqvarna Hard X cross-country race at the weekend was never going to trouble him unduly.

Yearbury was using this event as part of his build-up towards returning to race major cross-country events in the United States next year.

If Yearbury can hammer some of New Zealand's best extreme enduro and crosscountry racers the way he did at the weekend, there is perhaps no doubting that he'll be a contender in the US near year.

Violet Tangaroa of ONE Agency wishes everyone a Merry Christmas and Safe Holidays.

Ritchie seeking Ellerslie riches

Cambridge trainer Frank Ritchie is looking to plunder the rich spoils on offer at Ellerslie on New Year’s Day with a pair of stable runners.

Impressive last start winner Kya Khoob Lagti Ho will contest the Dunstan Feeds Stayers Championship (2400m), while Dawn Patrol will be vying for Group One glory in the Sistema Railway (1200m).

Kya Khoob Lagti Ho will take a strong formline into the race, having won three of her seven career starts, including a last start victory over 2400m at Te Rapa on Saturday, and has finished runner-up on two other occasions.

The daughter of Pierro was purchased out of Kiltannon Stables’ 2017 New Zealand Bloodstock Ready to Run Sale of two-year-olds for $210,000 by owner Narenda Balia and Ritchie is pleased she is starting to earn back her hefty price tag.

“She’s been targeting the Dunstan final, and she is now qualified. That will be her next start. She doesn’t need a lot of work, she’s got a great ability to recover.

Ritchie believes Kya Khoob Lagti Ho has a big future in the

staying ranks but is resisting the temptation to target cups races this preparation.

“She is a four-year-old, but she has only had the seven starts.

I wouldn’t be keen to ask her too much this season,” he said.

Ritchie is also hoping Dawn Patrol can secure his first win at elite level at the meeting.

The four-year-old gelding has come close before, finishing runner-up in the Gr.1 New Zealand 2000 Guineas (1600m) last year.

Ritchie thinks the son of Dawn Approach is a serious contender to take out the contest, but said he needs to relax better.

“His secret weapon is his ability to sprint, even off a good speed, provided that he relaxes. He will only do that off good pace in front.

“In the Railway, you would expect it to be run at high speed throughout the race with the type of horses you get in that race, and that will certainly be in his favour.

Everything going to plan, Dawn Patrol will head to Trentham later next month to contest the Gr.1 JR & N Berkett Telegaph

Dawn Patrol has a secret weapon, says Frank Ritchie.

(1200m), a race Ritchie believes is ideally suited to his charge.

“I feel the Telegraph would suit him better because it’s a fast race and they can come off the speed there,” he said.

“I think he is a tad better left-handed as well. He will need to go well in the Railway to justify going to Wellington.”

Yearling tour details released Waikato bloodstock agent Stuart Hale’s annual Auckland/Waikato yearling inspection tour will return in 2020.

The week-long tour will commence on Sunday, January 5, and include visits to 30 farms, with inspections of more than 750 yearlings.

Movies CATS The Cats musical, which is a fully sungthrough show, revolves around a tribe of cats called Jellicles who are preparing for a ball and an ensuing ritual in which one Jellicle is chosen to become reborn. (Cats have nine lives, remember?) Each of the main cats (the curiously named Munkustrap, Jennyanydots, Rum Tum Tugger, Grizabella, Bustopher Jones, Mungojerrie, Rumpleteazer, Jellylorum, Skimbleshanks, Mr. Mistoffelees and more) get moments to shine and show off their distinctive personalities in choreographed dance numbers. In the second act, there’s a fight between the mischievous Macavity and the patriarch Old Deuteronomy, who gets kidnapped. With the help of the good cats, Old Deuteronomy is rescued. Finally, the old and oft-shunned Grizabella is chosen to ascend to a new life.

THE GOOD LIAR

A chilling thriller, totally brilliant throughout.

The script Is tight, despite the need to take us backwards and forwards in time, it remained focused and coherent and the tension just built and built. We were all gripped. Words cannot describe the acting, it was entirely invisible and entirely convincing. Ian McKellen was chillingly menacing throughout, enough to frighten the pants off you and Helen Mirren appeared an elderly victim ripe for the picking, all this wrapped up in a cat and mouse game of clever and pointed dialogue. Apart from Downton Abbey this is the best movie of the year thus far, as for awards all the three

leads here are deserving but Ian McKellen's performance was deeply memorable and totally convincing in its horror.

SPIES IN DISGUISE

Get ready for an adventure filled summer with Will Smith and Tom Holland in this brand new spy experience in a race to save the world. Super spy Lance Sterling (Will Smith) and scientist Walter Beckett (Tom Holland) are almost exact opposites. Lance is smooth, suave and debonair. Walter is… not. But what Walter lacks in social skills he makes up for in smarts and invention, creating the awesome gadgets Lance uses on his epic missions. But when events take an unexpected turn, Walter and Lance suddenly have to rely on each other in a whole new way. And if this odd couple can’t learn to work as a team, the whole world is in peril.

It’s an animated comedy set in the highoctane globe-trotting world of international espionage. REVIEW: interesting and fun.

Action (check), funny (check), quirky (check).

It’s a great film, I enjoyed it a lot. A great film for a family.”

JUMANJI: THE NEXT LEVEL When Spencer goes back into the fantastical world of Jumanji, pals Martha, Fridge and Bethany re-enter the game to bring him home. But the game is now broken -- and fighting back. Everything the friends know about Jumanji is about to change, as they soon discover there's more obstacles and more danger to overcome.

Co-written and directed

by J. J. Abrams, it will be the third instalment of the Star Wars sequel trilogy, following The Force Awakens (2015) and The Last Jedi (2017) and the final episode of the nine-part "Skywalker Saga". It is being produced by the Lucasfilm and Abrams's production company. The surviving Resistance faces the First Order once more as Rey, Finn and Poe Dameron's journey continues. With the power and knowledge of generations behind them, the final battle commences. The film boasts all your favourite “Star Wars” players: Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Lupita Nyong'o, Domhnall Gleeson, Kelly Marie Tran, Richard E. Grant, Keri Russell, Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Billy Dee Williams, and Ian McDiarmid and yes, Carrie Fisher in a posthumous role. This will close the chapter on George Lucas’ original trilogy, with a fitting climax.
