Oliver’s oarsome! By Viv Posselt

Cambridge Olympian Stephen Jones and his wife Anna kicked off the year with the unexpectedly early arrival of their firstborn child, Oliver Anthony Jones. Little Oliver, who right now sports considerably more hair than his rowing champion dad, entered the world at Waikato Hospital at 10.35am on New Year’s Day, weighing 3459g (7lb 10oz) (3.459kg). He was Cambridge’s first baby for 2020. His January 1 arrival was eight days ahead of schedule and put paid to any Hogmanay celebrations on the part of either his parents or Cambridge midwife Juliet Dagnall. Anna was admitted to hospital on New Year’s Eve after her waters broke. “We were quite happy with the early start … we quickly got used to the idea that he was going to arrive on either the 31st or the 1st,” she said, looking surprisingly relaxed as her five-day-old son nestled into her. While names had obviously been discussed throughout the pregnancy, it was only as she was prepped for delivery that they finally settled on Oliver. “I said to Anna, ‘look, this baby will be here very soon, perhaps we should finalise his name’,” said Stephen. ‘Oliver’ was a good fit for his childhood, they thought, but also offered a touch of gravitas for his future professional life. Anna suspects there

might be a little kick-back, however. “I played the lead in a school production of Oliver Twist,” she laughed. “My friends are likely to think that’s why we named him Oliver.” The elated new parents, who both hail from Auckland but who have lived here for a couple of years, are putting the finishing touches to a new house overlooking Lake Karapiro, one they will share with Anna’s parents, Murray and Pip Irwin.

They’re headed into a super-busy year. Stephen, a Rio Olympian who rows with the men’s eight squad seeking to secure a spot at the Tokyo Olympics, is back into full training. He rows for several hours a day and will travel with the squad to Lucerne for the qualifying regatta. Assuming they make it into the Olympics, there will be even more travel, which means he will be spending several six-to-seven-week slabs of time away from home. Anna will remain in Cambridge. “Looking at Oliver now, I know just how much I’m going to miss him,” Stephen said. “At least we’ll be able to face-time each other … I won’t lose track of him completely. But it will be tough.” Anna, who is sales manager at the Mainfreight in Hamilton, is taking a few months’ maternity leave to enjoy baby Oliver before easing back into the workforce, while Stephen, in between his sporting commitments, new parenthood, and finishing off the house, is continuing his studies to become a pilot. It’s a gruelling schedule, but as he cradled baby Oliver on his chest with Anna looking on, it’s clear where their priorities lie.

A new mobile app developed by Waikato academic researchers in conjunction with Cambridge Museum will breathe new life into some of the town’s historic past. Once uploaded, the app directs people to areas of historical interest and alerts them to stories and artefacts located at Cambridge Museum and linked to those sites. A unique feature is its ability to present information based on the location of users - as they approach historical places of interest an audio signal alerts them to the fact that information on that site is available on the app. The new app was launched at the Cambridge Historical Society’s annual meeting by Annika Hinze, an Associate Professor at Waikato University’s computer science department. She worked collaboratively with the Cambridge Museum team comprising designer Nic Vanderschantz and historian Annette Bainbridge. Annika said she had been keen to produce a mobile app for phones when she first arrived in New Zealand from Germany 16 years ago. “But in 2003 the phones weren’t there yet, so I put it aside until the phone technology caught up. This new app is the result of collaboration with the Cambridge museum team … the content is all the fruit of their hard work,” she said. “I have essentially created the framework for the creation of the app, into which the museum team can slot the content.”

Letters Tree Trust

In response to Jane Moodie of the Cambridge Tree Trust (Letters, Tree Plan, Cambridge News December 13), Waipa District Council supports the great work the Tree Trust continues to do in Cambridge including maintaining and developing planted areas. The Parks and Reserves team continue to work with the Trust and has previously discussed the Trust’s aspirations to plant trees along the Te Awa cycleway from Gaslight Theatre to the Avantidrome. While the concept is exciting, there are some challenges due to the majority of the cycleway being on private land. Council’s role is to maintain easement areas of the cycleway. We look forward to continuing to work with the Tree Trust and supporting their ideas. Sally Sheedy Manager Community Services Waipa District Council

The app works along similar lines to one Annike was involved in creating for Hamilton Gardens. Once downloaded, the museum app guides the user through an audio-visual exploration of places in Cambridge, and the related stories and artefacts. It leads the user through self-guided tours and walks, providing information both on the Cambridge Museum and the Cambridge Historical Society. Its first version offers information on 12 historical places in Cambridge, primarily in the south to central area of town, 13 stories of people and museum artefacts, and one selfguided walk. More walks and new content will be added over the summer, including walks for Cambridge heritage buildings,

and those linked to the town’s sporting and equine stars. Annike said she believed the app was a “really good string to Cambridge’s bow”. “Even much bigger museums don’t have this yet. I’m very proud to be a part of it and to be able to watch it develop.” Cambridge Historical Society president Grant Middlemiss said Cambridge was very fortunate to have caught the eye of the app’s developers as they were looking around for a small museum to work with, while Cambridge Museum manager Kathryn Parsons expressed her delight at working with the team to bring the app to fruition. The new app is free to users. More information is from the Cambridge Museum on 827 3319.

Flatting and Tenancy – what you should know Renting or flatting for the first time? It’s important to know the difference between tenants and flatmates, how the law applies to you, and to understand your rights and responsibilities. What is a tenant? If you have signed a tenancy agreement with a landlord, you’re a tenant. You’re legally responsible for the place. Tenants are jointly responsible for all the rent and any damage. Tenants are covered by the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 and only the landlord can give them notice to leave. If everyone living in the flat signs the tenancy agreement, you’ll all have tenancy rights

– and obligations. If one tenant causes damage to the property or gets behind in paying rent, all other tenants can be held responsible. They may have to pay the debt if the offending tenant does not. Tenants should have personal liability insurance in case they’re held responsible for debt or damage caused by someone else. What is a flatmate? If someone else signs the tenancy agreement but lets you share the flat, you are a flatmate. Flatmates live in the property but are not part of the tenancy agreement. Flatmates are not responsible to the landlord for the rent and the state of the

property. They are responsible to the tenant for their share of the rent. Their rights depend on the agreement they have with the tenant. Flat-sharing agreements between tenants and other flatmates are not covered by the Act, so it is advisable they are in writing. If there are any issues between tenants or flatmates, you can go to the Disputes Tribunal but not the Tenancy Tribunal. Citizens Advice, at 62 Alpha Street, Cambridge, is open from 9am to 4.30pm on weekdays. You can contact the agency by telephone, 07 827 4855, 0800 367 222, or send an email to cambridge@ cab.org.nz

Pipe is a spanner in the works An existing water pipe has caused delays to a major 100-year water infrastructure project being installed on Cambridge Road. The project, due to be completed this month, is now expected to be finished at the end of April. A concrete thrust block on the original pipe interfered with the completion of the new bulk water main connection at the Cambridge and Parallel Road intersection. The thrust block, used to reinforce high-pressure water pipes at severe angles, had been added to over many years and realignment was required to allow the new water main installation to progress. Waters services manager Martin Mould said the issue at the intersection and slow progress to date has resulted in an unanticipated 10-12 week delay. “This issue was something we needed to deal with urgently in order to progress and it has affected our schedule negatively. Residents on Cambridge Road have been incredibly patient during a very disruptive period and this news is not something we had hoped to deliver. Project works on the Cambridge Road section resumed on Monday. Fibre Networks completed the repositioning works at the beginning of December, without interrupting water supply to residents on the Pukerimu supply. Works have now progressed further along Cambridge Road and Mould said the project team was looking at options to reduce the new timeframe without compromising the water infrastructure. Work started on the Cambridge Road section of the bulk water main installation in September 2019 and was scheduled to be completed this month.

Once in a Scout time They abseiled, zip-lined, negotiated confidence courses – and thanks to a change in the weather endured a pretty windy end to their adventure. Waipā scouts were out in force for the 22nd New Zealand Scout Jamboree which finished this week at Mystery Creek. The event ran from December 28 and the tent city was taken down on Tuesday. Jamboree happens every three years and most Scouts only get to one as a ‘scout’ – which is why they say Jamborees happen “Once in a Scout Time”. For most Scouts Jamboree will be the highlight of their time in the movement. A Waipā contingent made up of 18 Cambridge Scouts plus and six leaders included Dean Chiplin (Bagheera). “Our planning for Cambridge attending this Jamboree started the year after the last Jamboree,” he said. “Our Group Leader Peter Richards (Kahu) has been a stalwart guiding our troop leadership for many years and has done at least four Jamborees previously and

started our fundraising focus. “We did the usual fundraising activities; we were unable to gain any sponsorship funding and the burden of cost fell back to our families. These families then were able to fundraise. We do believe though, if our Scouts do this, then they too have contributed and have some skin in the game to earn a place at Jamboree.” The Cambridge troop hosted a Tahitian contingent of 14 scouts and two leaders. “It’s been great for our scouts to meet new cultures and languages, we also saw the Tahitian performance at our international night, and it’s been a learning experience all of our scouts have loved,” Dean Chiplin said. Jamboree is a 10-day programme of learning, development, fun, and service contribution activities. The Mystery Creek event involved 3400 Scouts and 1500 leaders and VST from 14 countries. “A Scout Jamboree event becomes a mini city with management, planning, logistics, media and communications, emergency

services, including Fire, Ambulance, Police, Hospital, Well Being centres, leader and scout support services, activity and programme teams to provide the best possible scouting experience,” Jamboree spokesperson Peter Middelplaats explained. “We delivered a seamless 10-day Jamboree programme, with every scout attending all of the activities in a managed

scheduled event calendar. On Base Activities included snow, mountaineering, photography and aviation schools, climbing and abseiling towers, a flying fox and zip lines, a confidence course, bicycle and scooter challenges, drift karts, gasoline alley, where a motor was pulled apart, master chef, building pest traps, learning about biosecurity and religious Services.

Off-site the scouts went to the Te Awamutu Space Centre, Ōtorohanga Kiwi House, Putaruru Timber Museum, Cambridge for a clues hunt, Hamilton to visit Extreme Edge and Leap and the Hamilton Gardens, Karamu for abseiling and caving and Lake Karapiro for water sports. Organisers also produced a daily newspaper, which can be found at www. jamboree.org.nz

Waipa readers book in big time Almost half a million items were borrowed from Waipā District Libraries by residents in 2019. A total of 487,971 items were issued from both Cambridge and Te Awamutu libraries The total, which does not include eBooks and eAudiobooks, was up almost 2,500 on 2018 and the most popular withdrawals were fiction, cookbooks, biographies and craft books. The Waipā District Council reported about 43 per cent of those were adult’s books, 54 per cent were children’s books and the other three per cent were items such as DVD’s, jigsaws and talking books. The most borrowed book of the year was Past Tense by Lee Child followed by Connections in Death by J.D. Robb, Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Meltdown by Jeff Kinney, The Seven Sisters: Maia’s Story by Lucinda Riley and The 104-Storey Treehouse by Andy Griffiths.

The book with the most holds was Michelle Obama’s autobiography, Becoming, followed by another Lee Child classic, Blue Moon. Waipā District Council community services manager Sally Sheedy said library usage had been steadily increasing. “Our libraries are a significant asset to our communities. Not only did we have a large number of books borrowed, we also had 1,906 new library users sign up. This is very encouraging and shows that our libraries continue to be a popular resource for residents.” Sheedy said library programmes such as Toddle Time, Wriggle and Rhyme and Makerspace had also been popular in 2019. “We have also had great success with several events we ran at both libraries such as our community club fitness evenings and Move It November.”

QSM for football visionary Peter Martens

The vision of building a football club for future generations to enjoy has driven Cambridge’s Peter Martens for more than 40 years as a volunteer. He says his passion for Cambridge Football Club, and the support of his family, kept him going “when the rain was coming down and there was still more work to be done” at the club’s grounds. Martens’ efforts were recognised in the New Year’s honours – he received a Queen’s Service Medal for his services to football. “It’s taken me a bit by surprise,” Martens (70) said of his honour. “There are many volunteers in sport who give up so much of their time and part of me feels a bit guilty that I’ve been singled out. Over four decades, thousands of young Waikato footballers have benefitted from the growth of Cambridge FC since Martens joined as a junior player in 1957. “The club was less than 10 years old then, and had only a few teams,” he said. When injury ended his playing days, he began coaching children’s teams in 1973 and soon after was elected to the club’s executive commitee. He has coached, refereed, managed teams

and served as an administrator at club and regional levels. After a spell of OE in the late 1970s, he returned to New Zealand in 1981 and rejoined the club’s committee a year later. He became club secretary (1985-87) and was first elected club president in 1987. It is a role he has held since. Colleagues say Martens has always been a “roll your sleeves up” administrator, and can still be found putting up goalnets, cleaning clubrooms and cheering on senior and junior teams alike. “Peter leads by example and would never expect other volunteers to do anything he wasn’t willing to do himself,” club chair Steve Thomas said. Club secretary Josh Easby said Martens’ relaxed approach encouraged other volunteers and helped them to believe anything was possible. “Our recent growth has seen us become one of the largest clubs in our region and it can put pressure on volunteers as the workload grows. But Peter takes everything in his stride and keeps us smiling,” he said. Martens’ award also recognises his contribution to regional administration of the

sport. He served 13 years with the Waikato Football Association, six with the Northern Provincial Council and helped with the establishment of what is now the Waikato/ Bay of Plenty (WaiBOP) Football Federation. He is positive about football’s future in the region and is already looking at directing

his energy to ways in which the sport can continue to prosper. “In 2021, we’ll be celebrating 100 years of organised football in Cambridge as that was when a previous club was established in our town, the forerunner of what we have today,” he said.

The gatekeeper: Peter Martens has filled a host of roles at the Cambridge Football Club.

New Year honours reach across Waikato Waikato residents named among 180 recipients of the 2020 New Year Honours included Cambridge’s Peter Martens, who was awarded a Queen’s Service Medal (QSM) for services to football (see attached story). Other sporting individuals were named in the line-up of regional winners. Netballer Laura Langman was made an Officer of the New

Zealand Order of Merit (ONZM) for services to netball. The same honour was bestowed upon former Silver Fern and leading netball coach Margaret Forsyth for services to netball and the community, while Hamilton’s Arneta Honey Hireme was made a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit (MNZM) for services to rugby league. Hamilton-based scientists were

among those recognised. Emeritus Professor Warwick Bruce Silvester was made an ONZM for services to science and conservation; Dr Harvey Eskol Indyk was awarded the same honour for services to analytical chemistry and the dairy industry; and Dr Michael Edward Matthews was made a Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit (CNZM) for services to food technology and the

food industry. MNZM honours were awarded to Hamilton’s Jenn Maree Hooper for services to maternity care and people with disabilities, and to the city’s Donald William Scarlet for services to conservation. Tirau’s Anthony Gordon Wilding was made an ONZM for services to the dairy industry and the community, and Matamata’s Shirley Frew was

awarded the QSM for services to textile crafts and the community. Top national recognition went to former All Blacks coach Sir Steve Hansen, who was made a Knight Companion (KNZM) for services to rugby, and Silver Ferns coach Dame Noeline Taurua, who was made a Dame Companion (DNZM) for services to netball.

Cash boost for Waipā events Three events aimed at boosting economic activity in the region have been given funding support from Waipa District Council (WDC). A total of $18,744 has been allocated $10,000 each for an Olympic farewell in Cambridge and a hot air balloon event in Te Awamutu, and $8,744 for an international netball game, also in Te Awamutu. Waipa District Mayor Jim Mylchreest said the three would benefit the district and support its growing events reputation. “We are delighted to support events that attract visitors to Waipa, encourage the use of our key sites and facilities, and give residents the chance to enjoy activities close to home,” he said. The allocation was made through $50,000

of unused funding in the District Promotion Fund, which supports events aimed at promoting and benefiting Waipa and its residents. The remaining funds will be reserved for future applicants. First to benefit will be February’s preseason netball game between the Waikato Bay of Plenty Magic and New South Wales Swifts, being held at the Te Awamutu Events Centre in the lead-up to the 2020 ANZ Premiership. Council’s funding will cover the tour’s venue hire, transport and travel costs for the two teams, and will likely include a school visit and open training session. In March, funding will go to the popular Balloons visit Waipa event in March, when hot air balloons from Balloons Over Waikato head to Te Awamutu’s Albert Park. Council funding for that event will cover transport, road closure, labour costs and entertainment. In April, the WDC will host an event to farewell local athletes heading to the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games. That event is likely to coincide with the Cambridge Cycling Festival, and funds allocated will go towards creating a hub in Victoria Square at which people can meet the elite athletes. Funding will also cover bus transport to Cambridge from Te Awamutu for members of the public. In the last financial year, $125,994 has been allocated The Balloons visit Waipa event, coming to Te Awamutu’s Albert Park in to 26 Waipa events through March, is one of three regional events to receive funding support from the District Promotion Fund. the District Promotion Fund.

Biggest roundabout contract announced

By Viv Posselt

Hamilton-based Cambridge Construction Company Ltd has won the $5 million contract to build Cambridge’s largest roundabout. The contract for the project at the intersection of Cambridge and Hanlin roads was awarded just before Christmas by Waipa District Council (WDC). Work is expected to start early this year following the construction of a temporary road intended to reduce disruption to traffic while the roundabout is built. WDC transportation manager Bryan Hudson said the awarding of the contract meant a start date for the project could be set. “Up until this point we had been finalising the design of the roundabout and undertaking planning, especially for shifting powerlines and other services so they won’t be affected by construction.” He said there had been 12 crashes, including one fatal, at the intersection over the past five years.

“Research tells us that, in general, fewer fatal crashes and serious injuries occur at roundabouts than at T-intersections. The two T-intersections currently on Hanlin and Cambridge roads sit on sweeping curves which will be best improved by a roundabout.” Around 10,000 vehicles pass through the intersection daily, and this number is expected to increase as Cambridge’s population grows. Construction plans also include new pathways and cycleways, a new bus stop and street lighting, and landscaping. The project is being jointly funded by Waipa District Council and Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency, with support from St Peter’s School and the Home of Cycling Charitable Trust. Bryan Hudson said council was “very please with the significant contribution and local staff support provided by the Transport Agency” which had allowed the project to proceed.

Water park attracts fans by the thousand By Viv Posselt

More than 4000 people enjoyed Waterworld Inflatable Water Park at Lake Karapiro last month – and the figure could have been higher still were it not for a spot of bad weather. The success of the park’s first airing in the Waikato has given rise to hopes that it will be back. Co-owner Kel Travers saying conversations are being had which could mean the water park will return, either as a solo activity or attached to a larger event. In previous seasons it has operated in Tauranga and Auckland. “We loved being down there … it was great fun,” he said last week. “Those numbers would likely have been far higher if we hadn’t had three-and-a-half days of terrible weather at the start of our run. It was so bad that the park became separated from its moorings and ended up further into the

lake. But once we had retrieved it and done the repairs, and were past the bad weather, people came out in force.” The inflatable water park, fashioned along the lines of a family-friendly wipe-out course was at Lake Karapiro’s Mighty River Domain from December 17 to 29. It attracted people of all ages who tackled the blob, swing, slides, trampoline, a slipping wave and frog jump, ball run, spinning obstacle, stairs, pipe and more. Mighty River Domain site manager Liz Stolwyk, who is also Waipa District Deputy Mayor, said its presence at Lake Karapiro had been ‘a huge success’, with a lot of locals enjoying the activity, as well as people from further afield. “People also came from as far away as Auckland,” she said. “We hope to be able to offer this again in the future, with an extended timeframe so many more can enjoy it.”

Vintage time for veterans

An annual pre-Christmas vintage car run delighted Cambridge Resthaven residents. Vehicles owned and driven by members of the Waikato branch of the Veteran and Vintage Car Club took residents for rides around the neighbourhood. Club committee member Andy Hammond said the club had been doing the Cambridge Resthaven run for about five years. “Only six or seven cars came this time because of the weather, but the residents seemed to enjoy themselves. Every car did a few trips around the block…it was another good outing for Resthaven and the Waikato VCC.” The next VCC event takes place at the Cambridge Racecourse on Sunday. The Resident Rose Smith was escorted by Resthaven’s ‘Blue Smoke and Pedals’ outing feature diversional therapy staffer, Prerana Thapa, on her vintage ride. Picture - Michael Jeans small motorbikes.

In my recent article I made mention of the desirability of adopting a ‘Grandma’ at least for Christmas. When we came to our retirement village nine years ago, village numbers were small and we set up our garage on our first Christmas Day and invited those who might be lonely for a breakfast. From memory about seven attended. Village population growth and in-village organisation have moved on and this year the (now) annual Christmas Day lunch event is held in our lovely Homestead building with the catering undertaken by a superb group of residents. Christmas Day 2019 saw 35 villagers sitting down to their lunch. To qualify for this happy event participants must be in a situation where, on Christmas Day, they will not visit – or be visited by – relatives or friends from outside the village. At Lauriston Park Retirement Village 35 people at an age that averages 75 years from a village of 250 people met that criteria. With almost 20,000 people in the Cambridge area – and possibly 15 per cent of them ‘of an age’ - that would mean that 420 people may have been alone on Christmas Day. It is not pertinent to argue about the maths – just think of what it was like for them regardless of the actual number. A day filled with long-ago memories of little children excited around the tree, eager to open their presents. Fun and merriment abounding and the anticipations that goes with a magnificent waist-blowing meal. How many of those ‘of an age’ in Cambridge would have welcomed the opportunity to visit – or be visited – by a well-intentioned neighbour or friend who had the luxury of not being alone themselves on that special day? I cherish our Christmas especially where we share the magic moments with others.

By Peter Carr

Wouldn’t you?? By the time you read this we will be in a new decade. All manner of soothsayers will attempt to predict how we will exist over the next 10 years, what miracles of science will make our lives easier and the politicians will make promises that will be impossible to keep. But deep down what do we really perceive this next 10 years will bring? As someone who never makes New Year resolutions, I feel safe to predict that those ‘of an age’ (and those entering their postemployment period) will find it harder to manage. With the increasing longevity in life years and a dwindling worth of investments the financial string of life has to be stretched tighter. As my wife sensibly said some years ago, if she knew with certainty when it was all going to be over, she would know when to start the party. Medical science, increased general fitness and more sensible dietary habits are elongating the start of that party for the majority of us. Those who have sensibly saved and invested over the years will benefit but what of those for who WINZ is an almost life-long support crutch? How will they manage? More importantly who will take the responsibility of ensuring their comforts in later years? Think about it, dear readers. And do not keep thinking that it is someone else’s responsibility. We all have a chance to shoulder the load. Leaving it all to the underpaid and extremely hard-working people at the City Mission is the coward’s way out of the problem.

Water warning from council Waikato Regional Council and Biosecurity New Zealand are stressing the importance of cleaning equipment as people travel between waterways. “Unwanted freshwater pests such as didymo, lake snow, and hornwort pose a serious threat to our rivers, streams and lakes,” Waikato Regional Council biosecurity officer Andrew McConnell said. “Once in a waterway they can disperse rapidly and destroy the environmental, recreational and aesthetic values of our waterways. “We are asking people moving between waterways to check, clean and dry any equipment that has come into contact with river or lake water. Some freshwater pests, like didymo, are microscopic and can be spread by a single drop of water. Even if you can’t see the danger you could be spreading it.” Mr McConnell says before leaving a waterway, people should check items and leave any weed or debris they find at the waterway. All items should then be cleaned for at least one minute with a 5 per cent solution

of biodegradable dishwashing solution. That’s about one tablespoon of detergent per 250mL. Water absorbent materials such as lifejackets, wetsuits and boots require longer soaking times to allow thorough saturation. Drying will kill didymo, but even slightly moist items can harbour didymo and other microscopic pests for months. To ensure didymo cells are dead, the item must be completely dry to the touch, inside and out and then left dry for at least another 48 hours before use. Following those procedures will help slow freshwater pests like didymo from spreading throughout New Zealand waterways, the regional council says. “It’s everyone’s responsibility to try to preserve the environmental integrity of our waterways for future generations,” says Mr McConnell. “Just remember to Check, Clean and Dry when moving from one waterway to another, anywhere in New Zealand.” For more information about didymo and freshwater pests go to mpi.govt.nz/checkclean-dry.

Firefighters: our real heroes

By Sue Milner, Chairperson, Cambridge Community Board

Happy New Year and best wishes to all of our residents and visitors. Congratulations too, to those who in our region who have been named in the New Year’s Honours - it’s a special time for them and their families. I spent Christmas with my family on the outskirts of Melbourne, and also attended a certain Cricket Test staring on Boxing Day. On Christmas Eve the sky was grey, and the smell of smoke was in the air, but we knew that smoke came from a long way off. On Christmas Day our in laws’ family were concerned for members in the Gippsland area. New Year’s Eve was very worrying

for all of Australia as the fires are bigger and affecting many thousands. As in New Zealand, so many communities rely on the volunteers of the local fire services and they have been working tirelessly for weeks now, they are the real heroes in this awful situation in Australia right now. Now is the time for all of us in our community to remember those fire services in Australia, and those from New Zealand who are assisting them and to be grateful for all they do for us. So, every time we hear our local fire alarm, let’s send a wee vote of thanks for those on the frontline of the Fires.

MORTGAGE MATTERS

Free Up Your Cashflow

By Gavin Lynch – Yes Mortgages

Struggling with high interest rates on short term debts such as hire purchases, credit cards or personal loans?? THEN MAYBE YOU SHOULD CONSIDER DEBT CONSOLIDATION. What is debt consolidation? It’s the combining of several short term debts incurring high interest rates into one loan at a lower rate of interest. Who should consider debt consolidation? If you own your own home you can consolidate your short term debts into one loan by taking out a new mortgage against your house which is sufficient to pay off all the smaller debts. Remember - the cheapest money you can borrow is generally housing interest rates with your mortgage. What are the benefits of debt consolidation?  You have only one repayment each month.  You have to meet the repayment criteria of only one lender - your bank.  Your overall interest rate will be lower - compare 4.25% on your mortgage with up to 22% on your credit card debt.  The length of your term can be structured to suit your needs. Let me give you an example:A short term debt of $30,000 made up of two hire purchases, two credit cards and a personal loan may cost $1,200 per month in repayments. Consolidate this debt into a home mortgage and the repayments will come down to approx $180 per month over a 30 year term. Pay $580 per month over a five year term and the repayments are reduced by more than half and the $30,000 debt can be paid off in full in five years! If you would like to talk about consolidating debt, please call me at Yes Mortgages on 823 4531 or 021 783 266. 55 Victoria Street, Cambridge (between BNZ & LJ Hooker)

Back to school FEATURE

It’s easy to let things slide over the summer holidays. Routines become a lot more relaxed and the new school year seems a long way off. Yet the start of term can arrive all too quickly. Suddenly there’s a lot to do and you find yourself in a last-minute rush to get everything done. As the big day draws closer, children are filled with excitement and first-day jitters while parents may be left wondering if they’re prepared enough. A little organisation and forethought will help eliminate these thoughts. To prepare yourself for a fresh start, make a check-list and work through it systemically. Involve the kids so it becomes a shared undertaking. Family routines tend to become lax during the holiday period. The start of school means getting back to

regular patterns of sleep, meals and daily rituals. Establishing a school routine can be a challenge for everyone so don’t leave things to the last minute. As not all learning takes place in the school environment, there may be activities and external education to organise. Extra curricular activities help shape your children and encourage well-roundedness. Register early for sports, music, dance, drama or art classes to ensure a place. Book placements in learning centres such as Kip McGrath and NumberWorks’nWords, which have a reputation for helping children succeed in their education.

Have you Got Your Back to School Stationery Requirements? Here at Cambridge Office Products we want to take the stress out of Back to School. To save time, if you drop off or email your Stationery List, we will fill your order while you shop or relax. Local school stationery lists have been provided by your local school. Most items are available in-store including Secondary School sciPADS. 55 Alpha Street Cambridge P: 827 6726 F: 827 9262 E: copycentre@camoff.co.nz www.camoff.co.nz

FRIDAY JANUARY 10, 2020

Be positive

While some kids can’t wait to get back to school, others face the prospect with trepidation. Put a positive spin on starting, or returning to school. Talk with your children about the fun things they’ll learn, the old friends they’ll see and the new ones they’ll make. Reassure them that if they’re starting a new class or a new school, other kids may share the same feelings and anxieties. Parents, naturally, desire the best for their children and want the school experience to be a positive one. Give your kids lots of love and support. Double-check your children’s registration,

especially if they are attending a new school. Secure medical and emergency forms and make sure records are up to date. Set goals for the year ahead by putting into place some New School Year’s Resolutions. Beginning a new school year can be a big change. Start it like you mean to go on.

Stationery and uniforms

Have you got school stationery lists? Uniforms? Schools often have dress codes. Find out what they are. Get an information pack and read through it carefully. Check with staff if you have any doubts or uncertainties. Shop early for supplies. Involve your children with back-to-school shopping and make them aware of the family budget. The start of the school year can put a financial burden on families.

School lunches

Nutrition is important. Plan healthy snacks, lunches and drinks. Consult with your kids and make healthy meal decisions together. Be ready with backpacks and lunch boxes.

Cambridge’s biggest harness meeting has been gifted a trotting bonus for tonight’s Friday meeting. There are meetings on successive days at the Raceway – and tomorrow’s day meeting, first race at 11.15am, features the Thames-Coromandel Trotting and Racings Cup. Both Inter Dominion champion Winterfell and excitement machine Oscar Bonavena (pictured above) are surprise entries for the $30,000 Les Harrison Transport Flying Stakes tonight while New Zealand Cup winner Thefixer will headline the $50,000 McMillans Feeds Flying Mile for the pacers. The latter’s clash with Chase Auckland, Mach

Shard and past winner Star Galleria isn’t unexpected but the two standout trotters in the country heading to Friday’s meeting is. Oscar Bonavena – named after the late heavyweight boxer from Argentina - was expected to head straight to Australia after his Auckland campaign while Winterfell could have been spelled after his win in the National Trot last start because he has been a vastly superior version of himself right-handed at Alexandra Park. But trainer Mark Purdon has opted to run him lefthanded before he returns to Canterbury with Oscar Bonavena the stable’s sole rep for the A$250,000 Great Southern Star on February 1. Enhance Your Calm will head home after two breaks in his recent open class

trotting races. Purdon has decided this season’s NZ Cup winner Cruz Bromac will miss Victoria and instead be aimed at the Miracle Mile in Sydney, with Auckland Cup winner Self Assured heading to Melton but only for the Bonanza on January 25, missing the Hunter Cup. That leaves Thefixer and Chase Auckland as stable’s only hopes in the Hunter Cup on February 1, while Smooth Deal will contest the Victoria Derby and then on to Sydney for the NSW Derby. There is no plans to take superstar filly Amazing Dream to Australia for either the Victoria or NSW Oaks while Princess Tiffany will also stay home and concentrate on the local mares races rather than travel.

Olympic legend takes canoe role Former Olympic champion Tim Brabants has joined the coaching team for Canoe Racing New Zealand. Brabant, 42, arrives in New Zealand this month to take up his role in Cambridge, where he will primarily be working with the six-strong Canoe Racing NZ men’s squad. As a competitor, Brabants became the first British athlete to win an Olympic canoeing title when striking K1 1000m Tim Brabants gold at the 2008 Beijing Games. He also snared Olympic bronze medals in the K1 500m in Beijing and K1 1000m at the 2000 Sydney Olympics and secured world and European titles. Since retiring from competitive paddling, the qualified doctor, has stayed with the sport. From 2016 he served for two years as British Canoeing’s Chief Medical Officer before in early 2018 taking up a role working with elite paddlers as Podium Technical Coach at British Canoeing. Brabants is a good friend of New Zealand’s 2004 Olympic K1 1000m silver medallist Ben Fouhy and has a close affinity with New Zealand and its rich kayaking tradition. “I was very happy to be offered the role in New Zealand,” he said. “New Zealand has a strong kayaking history with the likes of Ian Ferguson, Paul MacDonald, Alan Thompson and Ben Fouhy. More recently the women’s squad has also achieved brilliant results, which means its people have the right attributes physically and mentally to achieve. You see Kiwis deliver great results in so many sports because of their passion and raw talent. “It is a really exciting opportunity. It will be fantastic to work alongside other great coaches who are part of the New Zealand system like Nathan Luce, Jesper Bats and Gordon Walker and to be a part of that environment.” Married with two children, Brabants says he is looking forward to starting his role and is excited at the prospect of helping develop a promising crop of men’s paddlers based out of Lake Karapiro. He was impressed by the performance of Kiwi duo Max Brown and Kurtis Imrie, who reached the K2 1000m A Final at the 2019 World Cup in Poznan, and added: “Having met Max and Kurtis I immediately got a sense of two mature but young lads who are hungry for success. I’ve also met the other paddlers in the squad, all of whom are super-polite, love their sport and are all very committed. That attitude is what you need as a starting point for delivering high performance.” Besides fulfilling his coaching role in the United Kingdom he also worked once or twice a week as a doctor in the Accident and Emergency Department at a nearby hospital. In time, he hopes to combine his full-time position at Canoe Racing NZ with occasional hospital shifts in New Zealand. Canoe Racing NZ CEO Tom Ashley said of Brabant’s appointment: “We are ecstatic that Tim has chosen to join our coaching team. He brings a wealth of experience and a proven track record of success as an athlete, coach and, remarkably, as a medical doctor. It is a unique privilege for our team to have an opportunity to work with one of the legends of our sport.” “His appointment, along with the recent arrival of Craig Mustard as CRNZ Development Coach, completes the restructure of our Performance programme. Our goal has been to build a group of world-class coaches who will work together for the benefit of our athletes under the leadership of our Technical Director, Gordon Walker. We believe that we have now achieved this goal, and we look forward to watching our team develop over the coming years.” For more information contact Tom Ashley on 021 848370 If you are interested in setting up an interview with Tim Brabants contact Steve Landells on 021 1972 877

Capsicum delights

Capsicums are the taste of colour. They originated in South America and in 1585 were taken to Hungary where the red variety became synonymous with Hungarian cooking — in the form of paprika. Whether they’re green, red, orange, yellow, purple or even white, capsicums — they’re sometimes called bell peppers or sweet peppers — should not be confused with chilli peppers which are usually very much smaller. They are all members of the same family but chilli peppers contain ‘capsaicin’ the ingredient that makes chillies hot. Beside their different hues, capsicums can vary in shape. There are very long varieties called palermos or king sweeties, as well as mini ones — enough for one bite. Green capsicums aren’t as sweet as the reds and yellows. These highly nutritious seed pods are excellent cooked or raw in salads. To prepare capsicums, remove the stems, cores, seeds and the thick pale ribs inside. The seeds are not generally hot but they are hard and do not have much mouth appeal. Capsicums make wonderful receptacles for other foods. Stuff them with corn, savoury rice, chopped vegetables, eggs, cheese and/or minced meats, then bake. They may also be sliced and stir-fried and they add interest to preserves.

Club bowls into busy New Year and the Hastie Trophy became a soughtafter prize. The games format has also changed over the years, she said. This year, each of the four games will be played over one hour and fifteen minutes – two will be played in the morning, and two in the afternoon. Margaret said the hosting of the tournament by three Waipa clubs presented people across the district with an ideal opportunity to come along and watch. “Spectators are always welcome at no cost, and each venue presents its unique viewing opportunity,” she said. “For instance, the iconic 1898 Thornton Rd Bowling Club in Cambridge offers a peek into the past. One can almost imagine the scene as men in waistcoats, hats, watchchains and beards moved around the green, while the ladies and girls in anklelength frocks with bonnets tied under the chin, added colour to the occasion.” Margaret said the club’s monthly open triples tournament, which attracts entrants from around the Waikato, would be held at the Thornton Rd club on January 14.

This weekend’s prestigious Waipa Lawn Bowls Tournament, part of which is being played at the Cambridge Bowling Club, will kick off a busy month for hundreds of regional players and volunteers. The January 11 tournament hosted by Waipa Lawn Bowls will bring together entrants from Cambridge, Te Awamutu, Kihikihi, Otorohanga, Te Kuiti, Pirongia and Raglan, with teams of five players competing in pairs and triples games over four rounds. The tournament is split into three divisions –– the Vagg Cup for men, the Myers Cup for juniors (those who have been playing for five years or less), and the Hastie Club for women. The Cambridge Bowling Club on Thornton Rd will host the women’s division, Kihikihi will host the men and Raglan the juniors. Cambridge Bowling Club spokesperson Margaret Stott said that prior to the formation of a Waipa division of Bowls Waikato in 1994, bowlers competed in a Central Zone competition. At that time, the competition comprised only the men’s and junior divisions; it was in 2002 that the women requested a division of their own

The Cambridge Bowling Club’s Thornton Road premises, pictured here in 1916, will host part of the Waipa Lawn Bowls Tournament this weekend. The club was founded in 1898, and this photograph comes from the club’s centennial publication in 1998.

Crash leaves three drivers out of action By Garrick Knight

A crash at Cambridge Raceway on Sunday has left three senior North Island drivers on the side lines for a couple of months. Race 8 was abandoned soon after the start when Afortunado (Jay Abernethy) couldn’t avoid a galloping Ima Denny Too (Tony Cameron) and fell to the track. A chain reaction saw Comic Book Hero (Todd MacFarlane) and Racketeers Boy (David Butcher) also fall while Matty White was flung viciously from the sulky of Machs

Little Soaky. Butcher came out of the crash effectively unscathed apart from some bruising and sore ribs but MacFarlane, White and Abernethy suffered significant injuries. Matty White remains in Waikato Hospital having suffered a brain bleed and was scheduled for further scans and x-rays on his hip and pelvis earlier this week. “He’s ok at the moment; he’s awake and alert,” said his wife, Brigette Solomon. Todd MacFarlane was also taken to Waikato Hospital with what appeared to be a

badly broken wrist. “I spoke to Todd late last night, around midnight, and he said that he had broken and dislocated his wrist,” said good friend, Jeff Darby. “He also had a concussion and his memory of the race was a bit sketchy.” Jay Abernethy left Waikato Hospital on the same night and was at his doctor’s office first thing Monday and also had a broken wrist. David Butcher considered himself fairly lucky given what happened to his colleagues. “I’m alright; I haven’t broken anything.

“I’ve talked to (stipendiary steward) Steve Mulcay and told him I’ll just be taking it easy for a couple of days but should be fine to drive later in the week.” All four horses escaped relatively unscathed with only minor grazes and cuts reported, Racketeers Boy the only one requiring attention from the on-course vet, for a shoulder laceration. A stewards’ enquiry deemed no one driver was to blame for the event. Another meeting will be held at the raceway tonight – see preview Page 11.
